A buttery mixture of brown sugar and chopped walnuts tops sweet apple slices and savory cheese for an elegant appetizer with broad appeal. We used a combination of Granny Smith and Braeburn apples, but use your favorite. Fresh pears are a good option, too.

Ilona, as an educator, has many wonderful attributes, but the one that has helped me most has been her knowledge of music and how you relate it to dance. I have had a number of teachers, all of whom know how to teach steps in varying degrees of proficiency, but none of them tied the complex steps of tango to the complex music of tango in the way that she has. Her ability to reach me in that way, was the key for my breakthrough in learning tango…I am truly excited about my progress! Jess Womack / Attorney at Law, LAUSD
…Ilona has the gift of making something that can feel intimidating to many feel fun, light and easy. That applies both to learning the dance itself as well as the lessons it offers that help us look at who we are and how we live our lives. Being someone who takes the lead and makes decisions every day for my work, I have found partner dance a wonderful way to practice surrendering, trusting and making a compassionate connection with another…without words. And there is no better partner dance to experience that in than tango. When those lessons creep into daily life without working at it, it's a beautiful and powerful thing! Jodi McDaniel / Productivity Consultant
Dear Ilona! Without a doubt your are the best female tango instructor I have encountered in my decade of Tango. David Fong
For me, Ilona's classes are very much in tune with what I've learned about Tango while living in Argentina for almost 27 years: Is a dance that is danced with your heart and not your feet, connection with your partner is paramount and the feelings evoked by tango music is what gives inspiration to your footwork. I found Ilona does a beautiful job of conveying and transmitting all these qualities in her classes. If you are interested in learning a partner dance that provides you with experience of intimacy and body language dialogue like you have never experienced before, I would recommend you take Ilona's classes as a way to experience Argentine tango in its core essence. Luis Turolla / Commercial Consultant

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Green Bay's leading receiver Randall Cobb has been ruled out of the game at Minnesota because of ankle and knee injuries suffered last week.
Cobb was listed as questionable on the injury report. With the NFC North title already clinched the Packers decided on Sunday to rest Cobb, who doubles as their kick returner. Cobb has 954 yards and eight touchdowns receiving, plus one punt return for a score this season.
The Packers put wide receiver Jordy Nelson back in the lineup. He's missed four games, including the previous three, with a hamstring injury.
For the Vikings, defensive end Brian Robison returns after being held out last week with a sprained right shoulder that occurred against St. Louis on Dec. 16.

Catholic School Says Labor Laws Are Against Its Religion
I think everyone who grew up in at least a mildly progressive household has had an experience along these lines: For years, parents and teachers instruct you in the importance of respecting others' religious beliefs. Shlomo doesn't have to eat that because it's against his religion. Christopher gets to drink the Jesus wine because it's part of his religion.
Soon comes the grossly mistaken idea that religious beliefs can be used as a trump card over what are seen as onerous responsibilities. Popular examples include, "the Flying Spaghetti Monster forbids me to eat vegetables," and "I didn't do my homework because it's against my religion."
Most of us quickly age out of this phase. The same cannot be said for a consortium of Catholic institutions, led by Duquesne University.
At the heart of the matter is an attempt by Duquesne to withdraw from an agreement to allow the National Labor Relations Board to oversee an election by adjunct faculty who want to collectively organize under the United Steelworkers. Rather than allow certification to proceed, Duquesne filed a motion with the NLRB, claiming that it qualifies for a religious exemption from the Board's authority…
"Our Catholic identity is at the core of who we are and everything we do as an institution," said Bridget Fare, university spokesperson. "Our mission statement proclaims that Duquesne serves God by serving students. Those words are lived out every day on our campus in very real ways in every part of the university."
Not included in "Those words," apparently, is the doctrinal Catholic commitment to social justice and workers' rights. In fairness, there are A LOT of words on this topic, including a Pastoral Letter on Catholic Social Teaching and the U.S. Economy from U. S. Catholic Bishops…
The Church fully supports the right of workers to form unions or other associations to secure their rights to fair wages and working conditions. This is a specific application of the more general right to associate. In the words of Pope John Paul II, "The experience of history teaches that organizations of this type are an indispensable element of social life, especially in modern industrial societies."
Maybe following the dictates of their religion is against their religion.

One question. Where do you save the placemarks? I need to edit the information i typed in the box when i clicked on the map. Also note, as seen in the video there is a Title and Description for the placemark. But I can only see the Title option, theres no Description.
One suggestion for future updates. Your component conveniently includes Map, Contact Form and Company Info. I would really love it if there is an option to change size, position and order of the all three segments dynamically from the frontend admin panel.
Good innovative work though.
Thanks for your comment
Place marks
Yes currently this components does not store the place mark values. surly Those values store and display with next release.
Yes this is good suggestion.Hope to add to next release.

Employee Jubilee
Four years ago, Catherine Yates sat spellbound watching Something the Lord Made, the HBO film about Hopkins heart surgery pioneers Alfred Blalock and his assistant, Vivien Thomas. A surgical technician, Yates found the documentary gripping not only because she could relate to the tense operating room milieu, but because she herself had assisted Blalock and Thomas in the early 1960s.
Yates says she didn't recognize then how skilled they were, nor how important the two men would become. Equally surprising to Yates is the realization that 50 years have passed since her first day on the job. Even by Hopkins standards, where job longevity is almost double that of the average American (9.6 years versus five years), half a century at the same job is almost unheard of.
Recently, she was honored during Employee Recognition Week.
One of seven children, Yates was raised on a farm about 55 miles west of Richmond, Va. When the opportunity arose, she relocated to Baltimore with family friends. "I can't remember how or why," she says, "but I just knew I had to work at Johns Hopkins."
So, in December 1958, at age 21, Yates began her career as a nurse's aide, learning everything on the job. Two years later, her supervisor encouraged her to become a surgical tech. At first, recalls Yates, she was intimidated by all the instruments she had to learn about. "But," she says, "several people held my hand so I would succeed."
Succeed she did. Yates, one of two surgical techs on her General Operating Room service on Blalock 2, has assisted surgeons on hundreds of cases, including gunshot wounds and kidney transplants. Her favorite surgeries are the "triple-A," abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, and the Whipple procedure, both complicated operations. Yates explains her preference for big cases: "I go home exhausted, but I feel like I accomplished something."
What does it take to be a skilled surgical tech? "You've got to be cross-eyed," says Yates, "with one eye on what the doctor's doing and the other eye on the sterile field. And you've got to know exactly where the tools are—because if you've got a bleeder, that's no time to try to find something."
Yates has had her share of bad days but has never considered quitting. "I get fed up because I'm tired," she says. "But I get over things fast." Like Vivien Thomas, in the early days Yates experienced overt discrimination. One supervisor told her, "We hire blacks to do the dirty work." Though comments like that were hurtful, says Yates, she refused to let them intimidate her. Today, when asked what's changed the most about Hopkins over the years, Yates says, "attitudes
On the technology front, Yates marvels at modern medicine. Pointing to the endovascular center, where interventional radiology increasingly provides less invasive alternatives to surgery, she says, "Procedures take much less time, and if a doctor needs special equipment that will help him do the case better, we get it."
One thing Yates misses, however, is going on rounds with doctors after surgeries. "I guess there's just no more time for that." Still, Yates maintains warm relationships with several surgeons, including James Black, Bruce Perler and John Cameron, who operated on Yates eight years ago for colorectal cancer. "Catherine represents the best Hopkins has to offer," says Perler. "She's incredibly competent, conscientious and caring and has a real knack for working in a challenging environment."
At 71, Yates still works every day, from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and has no plans to retire. Widowed 11 years, she spends her time off with her two children and two grandchildren. For fun she heads to Atlantic City casinos with friends, occasionally with a Hopkins surgeon and his wife. Winning big is nice, says Yates, but nothing gives her more pleasure than hearing someone say to a surgical tech, "You're scrubbing with Miss Catherine, you're scrubbing with the best."

IMMOKALEE, Fla -- A story making national headlines hits close to home for one local man. Immokalee head coach Jerrod Ackley is a former student and coach at Idaho State.
That is where current head coach Mike Kramer is now facing criminal charges for pushing Senior wide receiver Derek Graves to the ground during practice.
"I thought it was unfortunate. It's never okay for a coach to put his hands on a player," says Jerrod Ackley. The Immokalee football head coach went to school at Idaho State and spent a year on the coaching staff in 2008.
"Unfortunately most of the publicity Idaho State gets is negative. Their football program has struggled for a really long time and i know it's a tough place to coach. There are a lot of things that work against you," says Ackley
The shove took place during practice on October 3, but the video was just released this week by ESPN after criminal charges were filed by the player.
"I think everyone needs to be aware a two second video only tells a very quick part of an entire story. We don't know what had gone on with the coach and the player before," says Ackley.
Graves says he has suffered from neck and back spasms since the incident. "College football is a very very violent game and I'm sure he's had a lot worse things happen to him during a game so I do question the motives of everything. That being said it's not excusable to put your hands on a player."
Coach Kramer will be on the sidelines Saturday. Both the local police department and officials at Idaho State are investigating the incident.

Is 'The Button' a Funny Spoof of 'The Box' or Gritty Realism?
Richard Kelly's "The Box" hits theaters today, posing the morality question, "Would you press a button for a million dollars, if you knew it would kill someone?" It all sounds so dramatic, and slightly unrealistic, especially if the question was posed to some everyday dude. To those ends, Funny or Die's "The Button" plays out like a scenario that feels a bit more grounded in reality, as sad (and hilarious) as that may be.

We have global fixtures turned on in our project and on test startup a method deep in ActiveRecord::Fixtures tries to require a file for each model that does not exist. This causes ton's of log output and slows the test suite by several minutes.
Go has the ability to name your return values.
func(foo string) (bar string) {
// some stuff
bar = "hello"
// more stuff
The function will return "hello". Useful where you would have created an accumulator variable and then returned it.
Struct, function (upper and lower case), package… and what to test?
heroku fork lets you create unique, running instances of existing applications right from the command line. Great for different envs (staging, prod) or time travel (showing stakeholders how far we've come from what the app looked like 6 wks ago)
Mind blown.
toggle edit toolbar and you'll see a signature menu item. Click "create signature from Facetime camera".
Go has a keyword "defer" that will allow you to queue up things to happen when a method returns.
Great for closing files even is the app panics. Allows you to put closing logic immediately after opening.
If you create a controller inside your controller spec, it will be the same anonymous class for all of your tests inside your controller spec. Beware of test pollution if you have class attributes on your controller.
If you put hadoop on EC2 inorder to have all nodes communicate they must be in the same VPC or connected via ssh tunnels. This is because Hadoop only advertises the public IP for the namenode.

Our current project uses SVN which can only be accessed through a VPN. We would have a significant number of CI failures just because of the flakiness of the VPN/SVN server to the point where build failures were generally being ignored. We used the git svn extension to make a local git repository that is updated via cron job. Pointing the Jenkins build at the local git repository was simple and entirely stopped build failures due to connection problems. In addition we created a Jenkins build for whether the SVN server is reachable or not.
MyRA, an iOS app for rheumatoid arthritis patients designed by Jessica Miller (former Pivot) and developed here in SF, won a design award. Awesome!
There was a question about uploading to S3 on an iOS project backed by non-rails ruby.
Best practice (Rails or not) seems to be using the AWS gem to generate URLS, send those to the phone, and do all the manipulation and uploading from the device.

If you have a password on the keyfile lobot is using for git, jenkins will fail to checkout
ciborg always upload the keyfile as id_rsa even if yours has a different name, it copies the correct file but drops it as id_rsa and has the reference to your correct name in the ciborg.yml.
Easily access view helpers from your controller, without including modules. Use view_context.some_url_helper for example.
Sometimes you need to use the controller / view_context to access methods you could not in the presenter.
When it's the case, don't put them as a parameter of the method that need them.
This is not a value object (remember Domain Driven Design? :), this is a dependency you should inject when creating your presenter.

ISSUE: Personal fireworks
OUR VIEW: Hold your fire
Weeks without a good rain and days of 100-plus temperatures have left Hardin County parched and, as of Friday, burn bans had been enacted throughout Hardin County.
Regardless of the approaching holiday, it's just not the time to light fireworks.
Veterans Tribute the work of many hands
Any one else remember when grass was green and didn't crunch?
After weeks of dry conditions and now days of stiffling, triple-digit high temperatures, yards everywhere have a hazy brown look. For those of us who dispair as summer days disappear to the continual burden of yard care, that's the sole silver lining in the cloudless skies.
For yard and garden devotees, don't shed any tears for next month's water bill. That only will contribute to the potential for dehydration.
TOPIC: Select Preps
OUR VIEW: Best in community, classroom and on the field
If you are a high school sports fan, you may know about the player who throws for the most touchdowns, runs for the most yards, scores the most points, hits the most home runs and scores the most goals.
Conservative Dems need direction
ISSUE: Young volunteers
OUR VIEW: Commend compassionate youth
Clearing a table at a soup kitchen, boxing free food for the poor, reading a book or playing a game with an underprivileged child, helping a senior citizen with yard work. These acts of kindness happen every day.
Charitable organizations and charitable people in the Hardin County area fill so many needs and there seems no shortage of groups and individuals who inspire us to do better for others.
ISSUE: Startling criminal acts
OUR VIEW: Community should express outrage
It's nice to think of our area as Kentucky's Heartland — a collection of friends living in idyllic communities surrounded by pastoral settings, complemented by an often-envied highway network and ample employment opportunities.
It is all of that. But police reports often jar us into a broader understanding of reality.
Consider these recent acts:

29 new dual language programs to open
The city plans to open 29 new dual language programs in elementary, middle and high schools in September, according to a list of new programs released by the Department of Education. New York City's public school students speak over 185 languages at home, as reported in the city's recent Internal Budget Office audit of city schools, and there are dual language programs in at least a half-dozen of those languages.
Dual language programs offer English speakers the opportunity to learn a second language alongside native speakers of another language who become proficient in both English and their native tongue. Ten percent of the city's more than 150,000 English language learners were in dual language programs in 2011, according to the IBO.
Spanish is the second-most common language spoken at home -- nearly a quarter of New Yorkers are native Spanish speakers -- and many of the city's new and established dual language programs are in Spanish. But the programs opening this fall will expand the city's dual language offerings to include three languages not offered previously in elementary school. The Polish enclave of Greenpoint, Brooklyn will get a Polish dual language program at PS 34 Oliver H. Perry; PS 214 in East New York will open a Bengali program; and PS/IS 30 Mary White Ovington in Bay Ridge will start an Arabic program. A handful of new Chinese programs are in the works for the fall, as well.
Pre-kindergarten seats still available at "CBOs"
Families who were closed out of public school pre-kindergarten programs for their children turning four years old in 2013 may still apply to local community based organizations -- known as CBOs -- where there are still plenty of slots available, according to the Department of Education.
While only 30 percent of families who applied to full or half day programs were matched with a public school program earlier this month, odds may be better at the CBOs. A directory of CBOs offering pre-kindergarten programs is here [PDF]. You may apply to CBOs throughout the spring and summer. Admission is first come, first served.
Families still hoping for a pubic school pre-kindergarten program for their four-year-old should contact the school to ask to put on a waiting list. The deadline for accepted students to register is Wednesday, June 19. On the following day, June 20, schools may begin to contact families on the waitlist to let them know if a spot has opened up.
Here's the link [PDF] to a list of public schools that still had available seats as of June 3.
Citywide G&T: 5,450 qualify, 300 get offers
There were thousands of disappointed families when the city finally mailed offers to elementary Gifted and Talented programs on Friday. This year a record number of children - close to 5,500 -- qualified for the five more selective citywide programs, yet only about 300 offers were made, according to the Department of Education. That means there were slots in citywide schools available for only about five percent of eligible students.
Overall, the chances of snagging a seat in either a district or citywide G&T program were slim, especially in districts where there were high numbers of eligible students. Only 68.5 percent of eligible kindergartners got an offer. Since all G&T programs begin in kindergarten, the odds of getting a seat decrease each succeeding year. For 1st grade, 51 percent of applicants received an offer; in 2nd grade, 34 percent got an offer and in 3rd grade, only 29 percent. In total, just 54 percent of applicants in those grades were offered a seat, a significant decrease from the 72 percent offered a seat in 2012. After 3rd grade, placement in G&T programs is based on standardized state test scores.
Parents must accept their offers and register by June 28 (two days after the last day of school) or forfeit their seat.
Ask Judy: I'm moving to NYC. How do I register my child?
Dear Judy,
We plan to move to NYC from South America this summer. Can we still register our 5-year-old in kindergarten?
Dear DT,
Yes, of course. New York City has a kindergarten place for every child who applies, as long as you can present proof of residence in NYC and of your child's age. Most districts have zoned elementary schools. You may register at your zoned school once school opens in September. If you already know your address, call 311, or from outside New York, 212-new york to find your zoned school. You may also enter your address in the search box on the Department of Education's website to find the zoned school for that address. There may be other school options but you are guaranteed a place in your zoned school or one that is nearby, in case the neighborhood school is overcrowded.
Advocates say "no" to de-zoning D5 and D6
At a public forum Tuesday night in Washington Heights, Community Education Council 5 President Sonia Jones said her council plans to vote "no" on a resolution to de-zone when it meets on June 13th.
Jones said CEC 5 is submitting an anti-de-zoning resolution to clearly state its position on record: "Teachers, parents and principals are standing with CEC 5 against de-zoning," Jones said while sitting on a panel at the Public Forum on Elementary School De-zoning, hosted by Councilperson Robert Jackson, head of the City Council's education committee.
Jones acknowledged that the idea of "choice" sounds appealing, but, she said, "you don't get to choose what school your child really goes to, because there is someone in the office who decides where your child goes." Jones advised District 6's Community Education Council, which is also considering a de-zoning proposal, to "slow down."
No pre-k seats for 30% of applicants
Almost one-third of the families whose four-year-olds applied for pre-kindergarten did not win a spot in any public school program, according to the Education Department, which sent offer letters to families this week.
This spring, 30,118 kids applied for 23,405 full and half-day seats in public schools and 29.4 percent of them did not get an offer. That percentage is slightly lower than last year, when 30.3% did not get pre-k offers for school-based programs.
The DOE is offering about 1,500 more school-based, full-day seats for the 2013-2014 school year than it did last fall, and the city plans to continue to grow the number of pre-k seats by a total of 4,000 in the next few years, the DOE spokesperson said. But even those additional seats would not satisfy this year's demand. Furthermore, the number of families seeking public school pre-k seats is trending up: from 28,815 in 2011 and 29,072 in 2012 to more than 30,000 this year.
If your child is one of the nearly 7,000 kids who did not get a pre-k offer, you still have some options. About 1,500 full-day pre-k seats remain unfilled at public schools, according to the DOE. Nearly all of the half-day morning seats are filled but 600 seats remain unfilled in afternoon pre-k programs. A list of schools with open seats is available on the DOE website [PDF]. And thousands of seats are still available through programs in Community Based Organizations (CBOs), according to a DOE spokesperson, who said that more than 60% of the city's pre-k seats are provided by CBOs.
Middle school rankings rankle parents
Many New York City families who send their children to neighborhood elementary schools are in for a rude awakening when their child reaches 5th grade and they learn that choosing a middle school is not so straightforward. Applying to middle school can be just as nerve-wracking and time consuming as applying to college.
"Kind of feels like you're going to see Oz behind the curtain," said a Cobble Hill dad in District 15, whose 5th grader didn't get accepted by any of the schools he applied to. "Who is making these decisions? The DOE? The middle schools?"
The answer? It depends on where you live.
Unlike high school admissions – a mostly uniform, citywide process – the middle school process is decentralized and different rules apply in different districts.
8th-graders to get Round 2 HS results Friday
Students who applied in the second round of high school admissions will learn on Friday, June 7, where they were matched, according to middle school guidance counselors, who will distribute the responses at school. In some cases, students have already gotten letters from high schools directly, letting them know they have been admitted and alerting them of open house dates.
Students who are not happy with their assignment may appeal for another school. Appeal forms will be available on June 7 from guidance counselors and must be filled out and submitted by June 14.
Unlike previous years, the appeal results will not be available by the end of the school year, June 26, but instead will be sent by mail to families sometime in July. The high school admissions process was delayed this year by Hurricane Sandy when thousands of students were displaced from school and the enrollment office was scrambling to find places for them.
Although this year's appeal forms are not yet available, in past years the main reasons appeals are granted are for safety, travel distance from school, health concerns or administrative errors on the student's application. In addition, students can fill in other reasons. The DOE does not say how many students file appeals and how many are granted.
In 2012, 75,690 8th graders applied to high school and 68,465 got one of their choices. That left about 10 percent of students without a spot and they entered the second admissions round. Other students who wanted to apply to a new school, or to a different school, also entered Round 2.
Pre-kindergarten letters go out this week
The NYCDOE will mail decision letters for public school pre-kindergarten (pre-k) applicants this week and families who were matched to a pre-k program may register at schools from June 5 to June 19.
Families who applied online will receive email notification as well as letters in the mail. Parents should contact the school to arrange a time to register.
To register, bring your child and these required documents:
Need a transfer HS? Go to fair on May 30
My daughter is in 9th grade and while she has had some good experiences overall, she's not thriving at her large high school. We've been told that a smaller school might be a better option for her. Is it possible to transfer? We missed the window of applying through the general admissions process for 10th grade!
High school parent
Dear High school parent:
Changing high schools at the end of 9th grade is difficult, but not impossible. There are three official transfers that the Department of Education will allow: Health, travel time and safety issues, including bullying. You can read more about these on our high school transfer page or, for more details, see Chancellor's Regulation A-101.
In certain circumstances, you can ask for what used to be called a guidance transfer but no longer officially exists. That is best approached with a recommendation from the guidance counselor attesting to the mismatch of child to curriculum or atmosphere of the school, Unfortunately, the enrollment office makes the decision, and although you can specify the school or schools you want, there is no guarantee that she will be assigned to one of them. For this kind of transfer, you can go to the enrollment office right now, or wait until the very end of the summer and go to one of the special high school enrollment centers that operate for a few weeks into the school year. Be aware that these transfers are tough to get but persistence may pay off.

The easy and very affordable access to massage in Thailand is one of the bonuses for living here. Like everywhere in the world, the quality of massage varies greatly. I have received many great Thai massage sessions in Thailand, but I also had some rather bizarre experiences.
This story is from the lower end of the massage spectrum. When I think of it now, it seems quite funny, but when it actually happened, it did not seem funny at all. Read the rest of this story

Event details
13 April 2014
I am fundraising as a personal challenge. My challenge is Running or marathons My event is happening in London
Please note Virgin Money Giving isn't responsible for the content fundraisers post on their pages, but if you see something you feel is offensive or inappropriate, please let us know and we'll look into it.
Gerry Dance's fundraising page
11 Challenges for NASS.
I ran the Virgin London Marathon for the 3rd time in April this year. I did it in 3hrs 47mins and 49secs, in the Morph suit of course. Once again it was a faNASStic race, the weather was great and the crowds were amazing. Thank you to all those who supported me, especially my Super Orange Wig Cheerleaders! But it doesn't stop there....
This year it's going to be a massive challenge for me, I've already run further than I've ever run before. For those who have followed me over the years, London was my 17th Marathon. I've been running for 34 years and was diagnosed with AS in 1990. This painful condition is eased (for me) by running. I know not all AS sufferers are able to do what I do and my journey has not been without a huge amount of pain but I can run and will run for as long as my bones let me. But.....it's got to be worth while! NASS is my charity, NASS are fab! They support us AS sufferers, they raise the profile of this surprisingly common but often undiagnosed disease, they help fund research, they lobby Parliament and have a great website where you can read all about it. Have a look yourself...http://www.nass.co.uk/
So I am undertaking a series of 11 challenges this year. I have always wanted to push myself a little bit further. How about an Ultra I thought? (anything longer than a marathon is an ultra) On May 24th I took on the Two Castles and an Abbey Ultra Race in Northern Cyprus, 80k (50 miles) of rocky, mountain trails. My aim was to complete it without getting lost. Needless to say I did not wear the Morph suit for this one! Here's the link http://www.castlesultra.com/
The end result was, I managed to get to 68k and I could not go a step further. It was a mighty challenge and I was running with some incredible athletes. If you are interested, Mandy & I have written a blog on The Realbuzz.com website, all about our amazing adventure. It's in 3 parts and quite long!
In the run up to the Ultra I have also completed The Steyning Stinger Trail Marathon near Brighton on 2nd March, then I ran London on 19th April, then a week later I slipped in an extra one and ran the Compton Downland Challenge, 40 mile trail Ultra. I hadn't intended to run this but I did it in 7hrs 22mins! I am now officially an Ultra Runner! Then came Cyprus, 24th May. I had intended to take June off but I have crazily decided to run the South Downs Way 100 mile Trail Ultra on Saturday 14th June! This goes through the night and ends in Eastbourne at noon on Sunday 15th. Wooohooo! I DID IT!!! I ran 100miles in 28hrs 40mins 08secs!! It was a killer but an amazing experience. I've never run through the night before, can't believe I stayed awake and didn't get lost!
So, on 27th July my 7th challenge I'm off to tackle the Bath Trail Marathon and then my 8th challenge will be The Ridgeway 86 mile Ultra on the 23rd August. Done 22hrs 34 mins. 9th challenge Cotswold way 100 mile ultra on the 27th September. I ran just over 41 miles till the third aid station at Birdlip, all the time feeling and being sick. Not sure why? It was just my stomach. My diet has always been right for races, it was however very warm but we were all suffering so I can only put it down to my medication as I've been suffering with AS pain. So I ran out of energy very fast and early in the race and conceeded defeat this time as I was too late to make the cut off! 10th challenge on the 24th October will be the Snowdonia Marathon with 12 lovely 'realbuzz' runners, many of whom supported NASS last year in The Great Oggie Run on 8th September - all wearing something orange! Finally, if I'm still standing, the 11th and final challenge is the Brecon Beacons Ultra (46 miles) on 15th November!
All those miles has got to be worth a bob or two!!
Since the Compton, I have suffered injury to my Achilles. It held out in Cyprus, my toughest challenge and I'll give the other challenges my very best shot and of course it's all for NASS.

I have received my Tigerwood & Ipe wood order. I have dry piled the boards and planning to install them after they climatize. What is the recommended distance from the edge of the board for the screws for 5/4 thick material? What is the minimum distance from the end of the board to reduce splitting? Thanks for any advise you can recommend.

Tom Tarantino, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America
Talks about veteran suicide
WASHINGTON -- Suicide among veterans is a growing national problem, but many advocates say despite efforts to put bipartisan issues through Congress, little policy has been pushed forward to help at-risk vets.
Tom Tarantino served as a captain in the Army. Now he represents veterans through the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
"Just over 50 percent of our members don't believe Congress or the president are doing anything to stop veterans suicide," Tarantino says.
He says 2013 was an empty year in Congress when it comes to policy that improved the lives of veterans.
"We had a lot of missed opportunities with some very popular bipartisan provisions that just didn't pass," Tarantino says.
This year, the group is making a policy push to get veterans issues addressed in the legislature.
"We also have a generation ... coming home from war (who) are going to need our support and right now Congress is starting to ignore it. And this is something we cannot let happen," he says.

The plague of modern masculinity
Feminism has spent the last fifty years critiquing masculinity. According to MHRAs they got most everything wrong.

The one good man
"The One Good Man sees all other men as feckless, immoral, weak, beneath him. The One Good Man is good because he knows he is the only good man. He is special."

SOUTH BEND, INDIANA: Downtown South Bend Inc. (DTSB) is pleased to award Purple Porch Co-op, a community-owned food co-operative, a $25,000 Exterior Enhancement Grant to be used towards significant exterior improvements of their new downtown South Bend location at 123 Hill Street scheduled to open this fall.
"The grant funds", states Purple Porch Co-op General Manager, Greg Koehler "will greatly impact our ability to move forward with our vision to bring a beautiful food store that highlights local, organic and fair trade food products to downtown South Bend." Their offerings will include fresh produce, bulk foods, grocery items, meats, dairy and soups & salads from the in-house kitchen.
Greg further comments: "As a food cooperative, we truly value such a community investment in our project of renovating an otherwise drab building in the historic East Bank Village. It is our goal to contribute to the continuing revitalization of that area. This show of support from DTSB and the City of South Bend will surely inspire further community support and help our business thrive in its early stages."
This grant is an updated version of the popular Façade and Street Scape Improvement Grant, a grant made possible via a partnership between DTSB and the city of South Bend. In the past, this grant has operated as a rolling grant, awarded on a first-come-first –served basis. 2013 marks the first year the grant program moved to a competitive process with a set application deadline. The committee received six applications totaling over $118,000 in requested funds.
Commenting on the new competitive process, Exterior Enhancement Grant Committee Chair, local architect Pat Lych stated "The grant committee was pleased to receive so many quality applications this year. All of them deserve recognition for the way in which their projects will doubtlessly contribute to the design quality of Downtown South Bend. Although our limited funds could only assist one applicant we are optimistic that the increased competition reflects a healthy surge in development interest and design awareness in downtown South Bend." In addition to the Exterior Enhancement Grant, DTSB still offers the New Business Interior Improvement Grant and the Retail Assistance Mini-Grant. Both of these grants still operate on a first-come-first-served basis, however, all applications for 2013 funds must be received no later than October 1, 2013 with work completed by no later than December 15, 2013.

Together with our Orthodox brethren, Orthodox Christian Prison Ministry reflects on the legacy of His Eminence Metropolitan Philip. He was instrumental in the development and growth of OCPM and has always been close to our hearts.
When OCPM Founder Fr Duane Pederson was ordained into the Orthodox Church in 1991, he had already been active in prison ministry for more than 25 years. It was with the blessing of Metropolitan Philip that Fr Duane continued to work in prison ministry after his ordination. "Usually you're ordained to an altar, to a parish," said Fr Duane. Yet His Eminence ordained him to continue ministering to people in prison and on the streets. "His Eminence had the foresight to step out and include the incarcerated as part of the Church."
It was with Metropolitan Philip's blessing that men in prison were catechized. The Virginia H. Farah Foundation played a timely role by funding the costs of Orthodox books and icon cards that were sent into prisons. As a result, said Fr Duane, "All these prisoners started to become Orthodox. We began to find cradle Orthodox who had been hiding in the prisons as well."
Seeing that there were men in prison who wanted to be received into the Church, Metropolitan Philip gave Fr Duane a parish—one without walls—and named it Holy Apostle Silas. He gave Fr Duane an antimins (a consecrated altar cloth necessary for celebrating the Eucharist) to use when celebrating the liturgy in prisons. With his new parish Fr Duane was able to baptize men in prison. "His Eminence was willing to care for those who had no parish," said Fr Duane.
It was because of Metropolitan Philip that the Antiochian Archdiocese established a department of prison ministry in the early 1990s with Fr Duane as its head. As word of the department spread, Fr Duane was contacted by Orthodox prison workers in other jurisdictions who were seeking connection with their Orthodox brethren. In 1996 the Orthodox Christian Mission Center organized the first pan-Orthodox conference of prison workers in St Augustine, FL and invited Fr Duane to chair the conference.
As the idea of a pan-Orthodox prison ministry began to grow, Fr Duane recalls a formative experience he had while visiting an Antiochian man in prison. There were other Orthodox men in the same prison—Greeks and Russians—but because Fr Duane was under the auspices of the Antiochian Archdiocese, the prison wouldn't let him visit these other men. He was struck more than ever by the need for a united, Orthodox prison ministry under the Standing Conference of the Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas (SCOBA). ( The Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of North and Central America has since assumed the work of SCOBA).
"Metropolitan Philip gave his blessing in 2006 to gift OCPM from the Antiochian Archdiocese to SCOBA. He gave that gift to the entire American Orthodox Church," said Fr Duane.
"Over the years, he gave his support by really wanting this ministry to succeed. And allowing it to succeed," recalled Fr Duane. "His Eminence was willing to take a risk and step out where others had not. Even [in the face of] criticism, he was willing to stand up and care for those who weren't being cared for."
May his memory be eternal!Your comment must be approved by an administrator before it will be published. By submitting your comments we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete your comments and portions of these Terms of Use at any time without further notice.

Lose Weight with the 80-20 Principle
For anyone who embarks on a new fitness routine or a new diet, or even starts trying to control what they put in, it's a familiar nightmare. It could be a wedding buffet, a family get-together, a children's birthday party, anything that may come around and knock you off course. But what if we told you that there was a way out of this whole circle of - being good all day, indulging, being guilty, and indulging more - routine? Enter the 80 – 20 principle for weight management.
This rule says that if you're good 80 percent of the time you can let go for the rest 20 percent. For ex, if you cut down on processed foods and order grilled chicken on an evening out, instead of the usual chicken pizza, then you can reward yourself by ordering that glass of wine. A dessert, however, will tilt the equation more towards 70 – 30 and anything beyond that means that you are hampering your weight loss goals. The idea is that not everyone can be perfect 100% of the time.
Some ground rules to make this principle work better for you:
Plan ahead – If you know that you have a huge weekend ahead with a lot of revelry, or a Sunday at your parents' place where you won't be able to resist mom's cooking, then ensure that you are good for the week preceding the weekend. If you do let go on this particular weekend, then make sure that it was just this once and it won't happen every weekend as it puts pressure on your week.
Everyone has a weakness – If you have a big weakness towards a particular food item, (it could be something sweet or it could be beer) then let yourself have a go at those in particular. Of course that does not mean that you can eat an unlimited amount of chocolate ice cream, but it does help if you are allowed to eat your favourite goodie every once in a while.
Your commitment needs to be 100% - Though you know you may not be 100% perfect your intention needs to be strong. If you start off on the wrong footing, it's likely that you will stray well below the 80% mark. Therefore aim for eating right all the time and then if you fall off the bandwagon a little, you don't have to beat yourself up about it.
Nutrition counts – If most of your calories are coming from healthy nutritious food you know that you are eating right. Therefore if you eat real food really well then, after awhile your dependence on the empty calories will stop. Therefore starting off by eating right 80% of the time will slowly become more and more of a habit.
When 80 becomes 60 – Be true to yourself. By giving yourself this leeway instead of beating yourself up just because you had a cookie or two, you are making your weight loss goal realistic. But when you find youself straying to 70% or 60% its time to pull up the socks.
With the 80 – 20 rule, weight loss can be a far more pleasurable and realistic experience as you have a little flexibility with your diet. Does it work? If your are honest with yourself, it really does!

Liberals want a permanent underclass. It´s a steady stream of votes. Jason is right about everything he writes and he´ll be marginalized and soon forgotten.

Despite their protests that they are ignorant of history, liberals feel guilty because they know it was their Democrat party that fought to keep Blacks in slavery. They have a lot to feel guilty about: slavery, Jim Crow, the Klan, and segregation. Meanwhile conservatives stand on the sidelines and feel pretty good about themselves, with no guilt, because we know it was Christians, conservatives, the Republican Party that fought to end slavery, Jim Crow and segregation. It´s painful to watch liberals exercise their guilt, with their condescending attitudes and preferential treatment. Guilt and envy are horrible emotions to dwell on. Let them go, leave Blacks alone, and leave us alone.

Liberals have created the same, sick reality globally.

The latest form of racism identified by Liberals is "white privilege" - you are a racist simply by being white - however, you can atone for your evil white privileges by giving them all up or transferring them to blacks.

Terence Albert O'Brien
Terence Albert O'Brien (1600 – 30 October 1651) was an Irish Roman Catholic Bishop of Emly. He was beatified among the Seventeen Irish Martyrs by Pope John Paul II on 27 September 1992.
O'Brien hailed from Cappamore, County Limerick and joined the Dominicans, studying at Toledo and Limerick. He was consecrated Bishop of Emly by Giovanni Battista Rinuccini. During the Irish Confederate Wars, like most Irish Catholics, he sided with Confederate Ireland. The bishop would treat the wounded and support Confederate soldiers throughout the conflict. O'Brien was against a peace treaty that did not guarantee Catholic interests in Ireland and signed the declaration against the Confederate's truce with the Earl of Inchiquin in 1648 who had committed atrocities against Catholic clergy and civilians, and the declaration against the Protestant royalist leader the Duke of Ormonde in 1650 who, due to his failure to resist the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland was not deemed fit to command Catholic troops.
In 1651 Limerick was besieged and O'Brien urged a resistance that infuriated the Ormondists and Parliamentarians. Following surrender he was denied quarter and protection. Major General Purcell, Father Wolf and O'Brien were brought before a court martial and ordered for execution by General Henry Ireton.[1]
On 27 September 1992, O'Brien and sixteen other Irish Catholic Martyrs, including Dermot O'Hurley, were beatified by Pope John Paul II. He died a martyr, following his execution in Limerick. A large backlighted portrait of him is on display in St. Michael's Church, Cappamore, Co. Limerick, which depicts him during The Siege of Limerick.
