32F yesterday with chilling winds. Spring can show up any time so we can frolic around like Dairy Cows in Holland. I've been around cows. I've never seen this before. Here's 30 seconds of happy (very) wrapped in U2's "It's a Beautiful Day."

Monday Morning Wake Up Call: Do NOT hit the snooze button!
The burrowing owl is a tiny but long-legged owl found throughout open landscapes of North and South America. The burrowing owl measures 19–28 cm (7.5–11 in) long, spans 50.8–61 cm (20.0–24 in) across the wings and weighs 140–240 g (4.9–8.5 oz). As a size comparison, an average adult is slightly larger than an American Robin. Burrowing Owls can be found in grasslands, rangelands, agricultural areas, deserts, or any or any other open dry area with low vegetation. Unlike most owls, Burrowing Owls are often active during the day, although they tend to avoid the midday heat. But like many other kinds of owls, Burrowing Owls do most of their hunting from dusk until dawn, when they can use their night vision and hearing to their advantage. Burrowing Owls have bright yellow eyes; their beaks can be dark yellow or gray depending on the subspecies.

Monday Morning Wake Up Call: Hair Gel applied. Ready to roll…
The cute birds are Guira Cuckoos and are found in Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and Argentina. It is generally rather shaggy-looking and has a total length of 13 in). It feeds on large arthropods, frogs, eggs, small birds (not nice cuckoo) and small mammals such as mice. It is not an accomplished flier, mostly gliding or hoping from one perch to another. The bird's call is unmistakeable for bieng long and shrill, something between a long whistle and a wailing. (Just what we need for a wake-up call on a Monday Morning.)

Frightening conclusion? I am the decisive element.
"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming."
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

He is among the master tailors whose work is thought to be of genius and has been described as probably the only designer you could name who has 60-year-olds who think he's incredible and 17-year-olds who think he's way cool. His more prestigious awards for his contributions to fashion include the Japanese Medal of Honor, the Ordre national du Mérite, the Royal Designer for Industry and the Master of Design award by Fashion Group International."

Somehow I had been taught to fear genuine kindness…
"Gentleness may have been the first thing I noticed about Joe…I may have noticed his size at about the same time: though he is by no means an enormous man, he was the tallest person in our training, and one of the few men. Though I believe that he is gentle by nature, I get the sense that he also carefully cultivates gentleness, probably in part to compensate for a tendency to seem imposing. The intensity of his focus, his fierce intelligence, and his penetrating insight may have contributed to an all-around sense of intimidation, were it not for his warm heart and gentle approach…Joe's equanimity and gentleness were part of what made me so suspicious. I felt I was being lulled into something, perhaps made to accept some kind of touchy-feely, New Age pabulum. (Only much later would it occur to me, with a painful shock: somehow I had been taught to fear genuine kindness, to be suspicious of sentiment, to believe that if it wasn't genuine poetry, it wasn't genuine feeling. When, I wondered, did I become so infected with irony that I couldn't receive uncomplicated love?) With time, though, I recognized that Joe epitomized the first rule of Rubenfeld Synergy Method: gentleness. Approaching our clients this way also communicates a deep kind of attention: when we are being gentle, we are listening, and leaving space for the client's truth to emerge."

I've been watching the debates and the bad actors in government. I've concluded that I'm a master compromiser when compared to this crowd. Then the mirror swings around and hits me on the forehead. See the chart below. Here's Michael Brown's 4-box on Compromise. I have no idea what "TKI" and "MBTI" stand for. Check out his full post on the theory behind it – I'll let you hash that out with Michael and his high brow intellectual friends. I just wanted (needed) to get to the bottom line – how do I score? (Yes, it is always about the score. Yes, it is.) See the arrow pointing to my position. (And no one was looking when I nudged the star over to the right with some elbow grease. Hey, at least I'm not in the bottom right, right?. Poets/Artists, save your breath. I'm immune to the beatings on my lack of sensitivity on this topic.)

Learn to be quiet
You need not do anything.
Remain sitting at your table and listen.
You need not even listen, just wait.
You need not even wait,
just learn to be quiet, still and solitary.
And the world will freely offer itself to you unmasked.
It has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

"Forget what you've heard about first impressions; it's the last impressions that count. Last impressions — whether they're with customer service, an online shopping experience, or a blind date — are the ones we remember. They're the ones that keep us coming back. But there's one kind of final impression that people seem to forget. The closing line of email — that line that you write before you type your name — has been all but forgotten. Go take a look at your inbox: you might be astonished at how little attention people pay to the closing lines when writing email. This underrated rhetorical device is so frequently disregarded that many people have the gall to use an automatic closing line attached to their email signature file…If a closing line can be so meaningful, so important, why are emailers squandering the opportunity, putting no thought in the closing? Time, perhaps, iPhone-finger exhaustion, multi-tasking – they're all possible excuses. And many times, acceptable ones. We can't be expected to neatly tie up every email every time. But once in a while, it would be delightful if people applied the same sincerity to the last impressions that we do to first ones."

And every year there is a brief, startling moment
When we pause in the middle of a long walk home and
Suddenly feel something invisible and weightless
Touching our shoulders, sweeping down from the air:
It is the autumn wind pressing against our bodies;
It is the changing light of fall falling on us.
Sunday Morning: All is a miracle…
People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child — our own two eyes. All is a miracle.

I tried to create a Page and they all wouldn't fit. Tags have become the drawer that you keep stuffing the "really important stuff" that you're going to need later – the drawer is now impossible to open and close. And I have no idea how to unwind this monstrosity.)
I Just Don't Get It. My "Categories." I have 11 categories. I mark most posts with many categories. (So, exactly how are you helping your followers find a post if they all have the same categories?)
NAGGING at me. Months ago, Joe C. had told me that I had my Blog Name (Lead.Learn.Live) backwards. He believed it should be re-ordered "Live.Learn.Lead." (As each day passes, I think he's right. Yet, I can't do it. I can't change it. I just can't. NO. NO. NO.) [Read more…]

"If you've ever seen a painting, or watched a movie, or read a novel, or enjoyed a performance, or followed a television show that moved you on some essential level, you probably wondered: What inspired that? We've wondered that, too. So we asked. What follows are the answers, in all their varied glory, to that question. In part it's an investigation into the enigmatic nature of creative inspiration. (Which, it turns out, is often not so enigmatic. Step 1: Work. Step 2: Be frustrated. Step 3: Repeat.)"

Don't call a knife a knife…
"It sounds simple, I know. But it's not. Listen, there are a million worlds you could make for yourself. Everyone you know has a completely different one — the woman in 5G, that cab driver over there, you. Sure, there are overlaps, but only in the details. Some people make their worlds around what they think reality is like. They convince themselves that they had nothing to do with their worlds' creations or continuations. Some make their worlds without knowing it. Their universes are just sesame seeds and three-day weekends and dial tones and skinned knees and physics and driftwood and emerald earrings and books dropped in bathtubs and holes in guitars and plastic and empathy and hardwood and heavy water and high black stockings and the history of the Vikings and brass and obsolescence and burnt hair and collapsed soufflés and the impossibility of not falling in love in an art museum with the person standing next to you looking at the same painting and all the other things that just happen and are. But you want to make for yourself a world that is deliberately and meticulously personalized. A theater for your life, if I could put it like that. Don't live an accident. Don't call a knife a knife. Live a life that has never been lived before, in which everything you experience is yours and only yours. Make accidents on purpose. Call a knife a name by which only you will recognize it. Now I'm not a very smart man, but I'm not a dumb one, either. So listen: If you can manage what I've told you, as `i was never able to, you will give your life meaning."

The Fairchild F611 Brigand is fast, has surprising agility, and impressive armament. It has a reputation as reliable and effective, but has a poor fuel economy, due to its fuel injection system, and quirky handling, due to its heavy engine. In addition, the Brigand has a mediocre acceleration, allowing it to be easily picked off by faster planes.

Ice giant
An ice giant is a giant planet composed mainly of 'ices'—volatile substances heavier than hydrogen and helium, such as water, methane, and ammonia—as opposed to 'gas' (hydrogen and helium).[1] It became known in the 1990s that Uranus and Neptune were really a distinct class of giant planet, composed of about 20% hydrogen, compared to the heavier gas giant's 90%.[1] These materials were actually ices during the ice giants' formation, but now they exist in different phases, primarily supercritical fluids.[1] The 'ice' is primarily H2O and is generally treated as such, making the equation of state of water important for modeling ice giants.[2] Ice giants are thought to lack metallic hydrogen at their cores, unlike the gas giants.[1]
Different atmospheric patterns have been observed, including polar vortices, strong zonal winds, and large-scale circulation.[1] There is no satisfying model that describes why these features exist.[1] Because of their large sizes and low thermal conductivities, planetary interior pressures range up to several 100 GPa and temperatures of several 1000 K.[2] In March 2012, it was found that the compressibility of water used in ice-giant models could be off one third.[3] The value is important for modeling ice giants, and has a ripple effect understanding of them.[3] Ice giants include Uranus, Neptune, and exoplanets so categorized.[3]
Formation of ice giants[edit]
The ice giants have gas envelopes that are smaller than those of the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn but that are still substantial (several Earth masses).[4] The existence of these envelopes provides a critical constraint: giant planets must form relatively quickly, before the gas in the protoplanetary disk is dissipated.[4] Observations of protoplanetary disks around stars in young clusters pin the gas disk lifetime in the 3–10 million year range.[4]
Magnetic fields[edit]
The magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune are both unusually displaced and tilted.[5] Their field strengths are intermediate between those of the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn and those of the terrestrial planets, being 50 and 25 times that of Earth's, respectively.[5] Their magnetic fields are believed to originate in an ionized convecting molten ice mantle.[5]

Miraj, Where almost everyone seemed to be on my Facebook
Recently, I removed many "friends" from my FB. Not that I had many, either there or in real life, to begin with.
I have removed people meeting following criteria:
1. I already have a meaningful relationship with the person in real life. Facebook doesn't add any value.
2. I had a wholesome relationship with the person in the past but the time and distance have created a barrier, Facebook can't help cross.
3. I have no substantive interaction with the person even in cyber world.
4. I had sent them a friendship request based on some interaction on e-mail. I was hoping to transform those interactions into something more substantial. It didn't happen for many weeks.
5. People who sent me a friendship request because I was in their address book and they thought I was their fan. They have no interest in me whatsoever. All they want is their own promotion.
6. Relatives who are not much interested in me as a person. Or if they are, they got axed because points 1 or 3 above.
Facebook for me now is just a depository of links to what I like on WWW and collating of my interests. People say FB is the future. Maybe. But not for me.
RACHEL MARSDEN: The term friend has been linguistically inflated through social media to the point of having almost no value...Too many people seem to be grasping for ways to connect with others while rarely actually connecting in a way that has true value or significance.
Contrast this with my social life in Miraj where I spent my first 21 years of life. I seemed to know the whole town and the whole town in return seemed to know me.
Miraj was a friend where Facebook would be such a waste. Like a large open sewer that lay about 100m from our house.

Suppose your pitching staff walks 26 opposing hitters in a three-game series. Ugh.
How many of those games should you expect to win despite that wildness?
Answer: If you're the Arizona Diamondbacks, two of three at Tampa Bay, as the Rays' offense takes a collective snooze. We're talking about a 7-for-81, 26 runners left-on-base siesta.
How in the name of A.J. Hinch did this happen?
Edwin Jackson walked 8 in his 1-0 no-hitter Friday; Ian Kennedy (9) and friends totaled 11 passes in the Rays' 5-3 victory Saturday behind 11-game winner David Price; and 7 more Rays walked Sunday in a 2-1 Diamondbacks victory.
How frustrating was it for the former AL East leaders? B.J. Upton, right, had to be separated from Evan Longoria by teammate Willy Aybar in the fifth inning Sunday after the All-Star third baseman called out the center fielder out for loafing after a ball that turned into a triple.
Sunday's game ended with an Upton drive being caught at the left-center wall with a man aboard in the ninth.
Two points to consider here. Yeah, walks are a great offensive tool ... as long as someone mixes in a hit now and then. And someday, when the Angels are in a hitting funk, think of this series in St. Petersburg and know it could be worse.

I was told by an instructor that for cake baking purposes, you can use either.
post #16 of 19
6/23/10 at 3:41pm
I usually just add 1 c. sour cream per box to my cakes. depending on the cake mix I will add 1 tsp extract in with the liquid. This makes a REALLY moist cake. I love it its so good. But it dosn't rise like a regular cake so its more dence, but the nice part is I almost never have to levael my cakes they came out almost square every time. ( I have only had one cake fall in at all...not sure what happend with that one,but the rest have been great.)
I would advise not adding both sour cream and pudding to a cake mix...It makes it REALLY moist and dence...almost to the point of a underdone cake. Eh...some people liked it, some didn't...so...

Hear AC/DC's New 'Rock or Bust'
Posted: November 17, 2014
Classic rock giants AC/DC have released an official audio stream of "Rock or Bust," the title track to their upcoming Dec. 2 album.
Coming in at just over three minutes, the anthemic tune features a stuttering rhythm guitar throughout and a bluesy solo by Angus Young at the midway point.
While the album does not feature Malcolm Young, who retired from the band due to dementia, its 11 songs credit both brothers. The songs were reportedly largely built by Angus from guitar hooks he and Malcolm accumulated while writing previous AC/DC records.
Young's nephew, Stevie Young, played rhythm guitar in Malcolm's stead on Rock or Bust. He will also be filling in for the elder Young on the group's upcoming world tour in 2015.

Five (More) Great Gretsch Movie Moments
Posted: April 28, 2014
We offered a list of five great Gretsch movie moments a few months back. Since there's plenty more where they came from, however, here are a few more great Gretsch cinematic appearances.
Help!, 1965
Directed by Richard Lester, Help!, was the second feature film from the Beatles. The comedy adventure's plot was based around the band running up against an evil cult that was about to sacrifice a woman to the goddess Kaili. Unfortunately, the woman in question is not wearing the sacrificial ring. Guess who has the ring stuck on their finger? Beatles drummer Ringo Starr.
We won't spoil the rest of the flick for you, but it should be noted that there were several musical performances during Help!, as well, and the soundtrack was even released as an album. Most notably during a performance of "You're Going to Lose That Girl" in the film, George Harrison is seen strumming a Country Gentleman.

Five Great Gretsch Holiday Songs
Posted: December 18, 2012
By this time of year, we've all been inundated with holiday music for weeks. The standards are inescapable, as it seems that every radio station is blaring some version of "Silent Night" or "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."
We tend to look in different places for our Christmas tunes. Sure, there might be a time and a place for some Manheim Steamroller, but there are so many more gems out there that can serve as a much-needed changeup.
So as we get ready to unwrap presents and sip on some nutmeg-infused eggnog, here are five great Gretsch holiday tunes that should be on your playlist right now: (more…)

Five Great Gretsch Rock Albums of the 1980s
Posted: September 20, 2012
Gretsch electric guitars loomed large in the 1950s with original-era rock 'n' roll and rockabilly; even larger in the 1960s with the British Invasion. They were certainly still around during the musically tumultuous 1970s, although you did have to look a little harder. And then the 1980s arrived.
The 1980s. That was the decade when Gretsch guitars came roaring back in ways both traditional and unexpected, as post-punk, new wave, the rockabilly revival and other fast-proliferating subgenres blasted their way to the forefront of popular music on both sides of the Atlantic. Below, in chronological order, are five fine albums you can thank for that happy development. And we're not just talking about a Gretsch guitar appearing on a song or two—we're talking about entire albums that are scorching, swinging, soaring and singing examples of Gretsch guitar artistry all the way through from first track to last …

Five Great Gretsch Hits of the '70s
Posted: July 21, 2012
Between the birth of rock 'n' roll in the 1950s and the British Invasion in the 1960s, Gretsch guitars were all over the place and all over the charts. And if we skip ahead a decade, we find Gretsch guitars very much in vogue during the 1980s, and they've remained so pretty much ever since, right through the 1990s and the early 2000s to the present day.
But what about that decade we skipped? Unlike any other decade in rock, the 1970s are a bit more of a challenge when looking for Gretsch guitar hits. Maybe it has something to do with the idea that in many ways and certainly more so than in any other decade, the 1970s was an anxious and uncertain period when rock tore itself down and rebuilt itself -an unusually turbulent adolescence for an art form no longer in its childhood.
Never mind all that, though – the '70s still kicked ass, and while you might have had to look a little harder to find them between Let It Be and Built For Speed, Gretsch guitars were very much alive and well. Here are five 1970s hits that prove it:
1. Crosby, Still, Nash & Young, "Ohio" (1970). Neil Young and Stephen Stills both made extensive use of the Gretsch White Falcon in the 1970s, perhaps best exemplified by 1970 CSN&Y single "Ohio," penned by Young that summer in response to the infamous Kent State shootings of May 4, 1970. Young's instantly recognizable picked intro and main theme is a fine Gretsch moment all by itself, and the song peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100.
2. The Who, "Won't Get Fooled Again (1971). Pete Townshend played a 1959 Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins Hollow Body on this, the quintessential Who track of the 1970s and possibly even the quintessential Who track, period. Further, he played it on every song from monumental 1970 album Who's Next – "Bargain," "Behind Blue Eyes," "Baba O'Riley," everything. In fact, he used on just about every Who recording and solo track from 1970 to at least 1993. He still has it and he still loves it, even though he broke it in an "accident" during an October 1973 performance of "5:15" on Top of the Pops.
The guitar was a 1970 gift from Joe Walsh. Townshend was less than thrilled upon opening the case for the first time, but that soon changed. As he told Guitar Player magazine in spring 1972:
Oh, I used that guitar on every track on Who's Next, it's the best guitar I've ever had. It won't stay in tune on stage but if it did, I would use it. It's the finest guitar I've ever owned, it's the loudest guitar I've ever owned. It is so loud, man, it whips any pickup that I've ever come across. It's maybe six or seven times louder than anything I've come across. If I plugged it in my amp tonight, normally I'd be working on volume 6 or 7, but I would work this guitar on 1.
3. New York Dolls "Personality Crisis" (1973). Honestly, almost any track off the New York Dolls' hugely influential eponymous 1973 debut album qualifies here – "Trash," "Looking For a Kiss" and "Jet Boy" all leap to mind – but if the Library of Congress could only preserve one number as the quintessential Dolls track, "Personality Crisis" wins for sheer glammy New York proto-punk majesty.
And OK, calling it a hit might be a bit of a stretch, but c'mon – you can't talk about Gretsch guitars in the 1970s without at least a special honorable mention for the Dolls, because while David Johansen and Johnny Thunders stole more camera time trying to out-preen the Stones and the Stooges, Egyptian-born guitarist Sylvain Sylvain and his oft-wielded Gretsch White Falcon were the real bedrock of the group's relentless lawnmower guitar sound.
4. Bachman-Turner Overdrive, "Takin' Care of Business" (1974). Randy Bachman is one of the world's great Gretsch guitar collectors, and believe it or not, he sold pretty much his entire phenomenal collection – almost 400 guitars – to the Gretsch museum in Savannah, Ga., in 2008. Unfortunately, the collection didn't include the late-'50s orange 6120 he used to record universally beloved classic Bachman-Turner Overdrive hit "Takin' Care of Business," because the guitar was stolen from a Toronto hotel room in 1976.
Bachman once referred to the 6120 as his "first real professional guitar," and he played it on the Guess Who's first hit, a 1965 cover of "Shakin' All Over," so it was dear to him, to put it mildly. He has spent years searching for it without success. As for recording the hit in 1973, Bachman himself told us that "'Taking Care of Business' was my 6120, played through a 15-watt Garnet bass amp with a 15" speaker that was on a chair facing me. I had to use a lot of hand dampening to stop the squeals, but when I wanted the B.B. King-kind of feedback, I'd just let the lead notes sing out."
5. AC/DC, "Highway to Hell" (1979). Hell, any AC/DC song from any decade is a shining Gretsch moment thanks to the rock-solid rhythm guitar work of Malcolm Young, but this is where things get going in earnest for Australia's finest, which formed in Sydney in 1973. "Highway to Hell" comes from the 1979 album of the same name, which was AC/DC's first million-selling record and first to break the U.S. Top 100, but its last with original vocalist Bon Scott, who died several months after its release.
Malcolm Young co-authored "Highway to Hell" with Scott and younger brother Angus Young, and of course, as on most AC/DC songs before and since, played his modified 1963 double-cutaway Gretsch Jet Firebird on it. He has remained pretty much exclusively devoted to the guitar, which was handed down to him by elder brother George Young (whose own group, the Easybeats, scored Australia's first international rock hit with 1966 classic "Friday on My Mind"). The guitar was originally red, but Young stripped the top finish down to the maple top sometime around 1977's Let There Be Rock.

NHL training camps have just started, which this year means that NHL training camps are about to end. And that makes it time to take a final look around the league in anticipation of opening night.
Tuesday we'll start with the Eastern Conference before turning to the Western Conference Wednesday.
New Jersey Devils It turns out Ilya Kovalchuk wasn't serious about remaining in Russia after all and is expected back in camp shortly, Lou Lamoriello said while returning from Russia holding a baseball bat and an Ilya Kovalchuk-shaped duffel bag.
Washington Capitals Eric Fehr signed a one-year deal that was completed just in time for the start of training camp, making him the first Fehr in four months to show up on time for something.
Winnipeg Jets Are expected to surprise a lot of people in the Eastern Conference this year, in the sense that whenever they come to town fans will be surprised to remember that for some reason they're still in the Eastern Conference.
New York Rangers The team will be looking to Rick Nash for leadership during this shortened season, since he's used to being in the playoff race for 48 games every year.
Carolina Hurricanes Jordan and Eric Staal will finally get the chance to live out their childhood dream of experiencing the chase for the Stanley Cup together, assuming Marc can get them both tickets.
Buffalo Sabres They've significantly improved their overall toughness in an effort to make sure that no team ever dares take a run at their superstar goaltender, which will come in handy if they ever manage to trade Ryan Miller for one of those.
Philadelphia Flyers Reports that they may be having second thoughts about Ilya Bryzgalov and his US$51-million contract are clearly false, since that would require that the signing ever involved any first thoughts.
Tampa Bay Lightning A disappointed Martin St. Louis just realized that's not the sort of super short training camp they meant.
New York Islanders Lubomir Visnovsky has so far insisted on remaining with Slovan Bratislava of the KHL, explaining that he simply prefers to play for a team that has a more realistic chance of making the NHL playoffs.
Florida Panthers Will continue to play their patented defensive style, which involves asking the other team's players "Hey, how exactly did we manage to win a division title last year?" and then skating away with the puck while everyone stands around looking confused.
Pittsburgh Penguins Sidney Crosby will have to adjust to wearing his new league-mandated helmet, which looks mysteriously like Gary Bettman clutching his head like a tarsier monkey while hissing "nobody touch him!"
Ottawa Senators Erik Karlsson enters the season as the reigning Norris Trophy winner, which will give fans a unique chance to see him actually try to defend something.
Boston Bruins The team knows they're going to have to go out there and get their uniforms dirty, at which point Tyler Seguin will try to wash them using his refrigerator, a bottle of shampoo and an old lemon peel.
Montreal Canadiens Have cruelly told Scott Gomez to stay home despite him being the only player in the league to maintain his offensive production throughout the entire lockout.
Toronto Maple Leafs MLSE's ownership group recently fired Brian Burke because they preferred to move forward with a more traditional face of the Maple Leafs franchise: A goaltender drinking from a water bottle in front of a red light while trying not to cry.

Prospective Student Information
The Interdisciplinary Doctorate of Education Program in Leadership is designed to attract students in a variety of fields, including individuals who work in educational institutions, health care facilities, diverse business enterprises, and other organizations. The program is grounded in principles that prepare and enhance a Practitioner-Scholar approach to learning and graduate education. The faculty combines a group of individuals, some who are academic scholars and practitioners and others who are academic scholars. The approach to leadership development is based on Ignatian tradition and Dewey's concept of experiential learning. The program is a flexible, interdisciplinary, practice-based Doctor of Education program that is offered primarily through online delivery, which is intended to be a terminal degree program designed to provide graduates with an understainding of leadership practice, theory, research and policy necessary to develp organizations and people for a changing world. In the tradition of a Catholic, Jesuit institution, students dialogue in an interdisciplinary environment designed to increase their understanding of self and how to work with, develop, and motivate others. The program is a generalist versus a specialist leadership program for individuals holding mid-level leadership/management positions who want to improve, enhance or develop their skills or prepare themselves to assume the next higher leadership position or seek new job opportunities and achieve systemic, transformational change. Students will acquire the tools and knowledge, as well as the practical skills to impact and transform their workplace and community positively. The program is taught by faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business Administration, School of Pharmacy and Health Professions, School of Nursing, School of Medicine and the Law School.
The program is based on the belief that skill and expertise in leadership is applicable in a variety of settings; one need not be a specialist in an area to serve in a leadership capacity. Hence, when develping this program, the choice to develop a generalist program rather than multiple specializations was made deliberately. This decision was made in the belief that all people in the program would be better served if they were given an opportunity to share with people from multiple segments of the market place rather than asking students to limit themselves to one specialization. This decision to develop a generalist program was also believed to be more consistent with the concepts of interdisciplinary programming--students broadly prepared would be able to serve in a variety of capacities in a variety of environments.

WrestleFest May 22
I deeply regret having to disappoint my fans in the Bay Area but, unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the BTW WrestleFest tomorrow (May 22). Not only will I miss my Bay Area fans but I'll miss many of my peers past and present, and future.
The reason for this is that due to a scheduling conflict where the Calgary Hitmen hockey team are in a semi-final game tonight in Brandon, MB and a hopeful championship game on Sunday. I also expect to be on Monday Night Raw in Toledo, OH but I can't say that I know for sure as of right now. All of this makes it impossible for me to get to Fremont, CA but I hope to make it up to my Bay Area fans at my soonest opportunity. I promised the team at the beginning of the season that if they were to get to the Memorial Cup, I would be there and I've said this to the team every year since its inception. It's only my second chance in 15 years. I apologize to any fans for their inconvenience, and hope to see you all soon. - Bret "Hitman" Hart

More in Decorating
A common mistake is trying to fit too much into a small space, so plan your room according to its use.
Ping-pong is a popular choice but it requires 9 feet for the table plus room on all sides. Allow a minimum of 6 feet of space on the ends of a ping-pong table and at least 4 feet of space on the sides.
Billiards is another fun option; just allow enough room for taking a clear shot. The amount of space you'll need for clear shots around your pool table width depends on the size of the table and the length of the cue sticks.
If space is at a premium, consider games such as foosball, bumper pool or multi-game tables that convert easily for a variety of games.
A dartboard is always a good choice but locate it in an area away from foot traffic. If there are children in the home, consider installing an electronic dartboard that doesn't have sharp tipped darts that can cause injury.

Special Moments
Following our Monday weight workout, my 15-year-old son and I bid the ladies manning the desk a good night as we headed for the door of the Medina Community Rec Center. As we approached the doors, my son chirped, "Hey, Dad? I was just wondering. What does it feel like to be old, fat and bald?" "If I could lift my arms right now, I'd show you." Then I smiled, clapped him on the back and opened the door. I've … Continue reading
Creating Chemistry
Albert Einstein is credited with saying, "Play is the highest form of research." If that is the case, then our nation's playgrounds are our most important laboratories. Playgrounds offer children challenge, excitement, and a place for strenuous physical activity that health experts tell us is vitally important. Playgrounds are a place to test physical limits, interact socially in coordinated play, and learn first-hand the implications of the laws of physics. Like most laboratories, playgrounds are risky places, but that is … Continue reading
A Synthetic Landmark
Chesterfield County officials had a unique opportunity in creating the county's first public synthetic-turf field in Stratton Park. But the idea was even better than that; officials decided to partner with the Richmond Kickers and utilize the multi-purpose fields adjacent to the private soccer group's existing natural-grass and synthetic-turf fields so that the fields could be jointly programmed for larger events. The plan was developed through a public process involving the Kickers organization and stakeholder groups representing soccer, football, lacrosse, … Continue reading

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Andheri Has A New Library And Cafe
On Monday, April 9, friends and comic book enthusiasts Utsa Shome, Bidisha Basu and Koel Chatterjee launched the Leaping Windows cafe and comic books library in Andheri. "We always intended to move into a physical space, but hadn't found the correct location," said Basu, who launched Leaping Windows as an online comic books library with Shome and Chatterjee in June 2010. The basement of their split-level Yari Road establishment serves as the library and reading room, where you will find graphic novels and comics in the categories of fantasy, crime, superhero, and slice-of-life. You need to pay Rs30 an hour to use the reading room or can sign up for a three-month Leaping Windows membership. The Rs1,500 membership fee allows you to borrow an unlimited number of books.
About 30 people can be accommodated in the cafe area, where the food, which is sourced from home caterers across the city, includes sandwiches (peanut butter and jelly; chutney; tuna), salads, cutlets, and desserts (cheesecake, mud pie, and cupcakes). Tea, coffee and cold drinks such as masala Thumbs Up form the beverages menu. The cafe will also have daily specials such as curd-rice.Tags: Bidisha Basu, Books, Comics, Koel Chatterjee, Leaping Windows, Restaurants, Utsa Shome

can someone tell me about any reading library for working people
Amazing location. Amazing collection of Manga and Comics. It's quite a distance from my house and even though they have home delivery, I wouldn't mind going all across the city just to sit in their library and read to my heart's content. A Haven for avid Manga/Comic Readers.
This is lovely.
What a nice concept.

They say sometimes even good people can do bad things. "Good people." A simple two-word label given to the idea—not the being—of someone who does no wrong. This person is versed in the ways of Good and Evil; he will never betray our trust; given boundaries, he may step to their edge but never cross. This person… does not exist. An idea, and nothing more; a goal we cannot achieve. The ultimate in frontiers.
Even if we master the expanses space and time, we will never master or understand Good and Evil. And proof of this fact exists around us, day and night. Twice this week, I have found it.
Understand these, or understand nothing of what I say below:
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Franklin D. Roosevelt
There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power […] is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Ayn Rand, "Atlas Shrugged"
Good is Criminal
Twice this week, I've tried to visit my high school to revisit a few people who have been very important to my life. Twice, not because I failed, but because I was turned away. I have no desire to cause trouble, so I stop by the office to pick up a visitor's pass. No dice.
Sorry, the new policy is no visitors during school hours.1
This, to me, is infuriating. I am not here to be a disturbance. I am not going to interrupt lessons. I am here to do what little I can to show a few teachers that their lifetime devotions are appreciated by at least a small subset of the students whose lives they touch. For teachers, it's a simple but important feeling that keeps them going. That's the only purpose of my trip.
But no, I might be up to something nefarious and endanger some number's performance on a standardized test. God forbid. It's not like the administrators really care about the students' education; they just care that their numbers are up over last year.
So, denied the pass, I could ignore the rules and wander on my own. I could trespass. I could get caught. I could be arrested. All for wanting to give back what was given me—the encouragement to keep going.
Doing good in spite of the rules can make you a criminal. Thank you, Ayn Rand. I dislike their veracity, but your words hold merit.
Fear versus Truth
What we see here is a dangerous trend gone unnoticed. We are so afraid of the nasty, evil person somebody might be that we often fail to see the good person they are trying to be.
Kinda takes the fun out of it. Where's the warmth of surprise when even a 10-minute chat to say "thanks" needs to be scheduled with the cold calculation of a business meeting? The whole process becomes mechanical and inorganic, drained almost entirely of the sincerity it might otherwise have.
We're so afraid of the legions of evil and nasty people that those of us not falling among their ranks will soon cross some law's boundary. That is, we're bound by such laws whose text would make our deeds criminal, regardless of intent or outcome.
Words and interpretation
We create meaning with space and words with ink. Unspoken intent is what gives a language power. Words and definitions merely give it utility.
I was once told that if composers notated every nuance of their music, the sheet music would just be a giant black splotch. Musicians learn to read feeling in the space between notes, instead of simply executing what's printed on the page. Why is this relevant?
… because we've long since forgotten how to infer what's not written. So we're bound by the letter of laws, even if the spirit was to prevent evil without forbidding good. But these days, we're so afraid of this nebulous all-encompassing "evil" that we're going to drown out all semblance of goodwill remaining in noble-hearted individuals.
There are few—not many—who try hard to be a good influence, and I feel like we're being backed into a corner because of what people fear. We've forgotten to heed the advice of FDR as mentioned above, and this will be our reward. A world without good, defined by fear and mistrust.
We are, all of us, constrained not by who we are, but by whom the world fears we might be.
What does it take to turn a good person bad? I'm not entirely certain, but I imagine there is some threshold at which outrage takes hold and reason breaks down. The frustration of good intents being constantly thwarted probably doesn't help. But nobody sees this.

Vegetables fresh and grilled were a large part of our dinner.
Fresh vegetables with Greek yogurt ranch.
Fruit and a cheese plate were also enjoyed.
Marinated and grilled. Simple fare for a delicious dinner.
These beans are very good! Simple and this dish uses a "convenience" food, old fashioned canned Pork and Beans. You can find the recipe here., at Tasting Spoons.
Where was a second meat entree, grilled marinated chicken thighs, however I did not get a photo.......
We also had cobbler and vanilla ice cream for dessert.
I have to be honest about this cobbler, I had posted (and now deleted) this prior to tasting, my adaptation simply was not up to sharing.
As always, thanks for taking a moment to stop and say hello. I appreciate your time and your wonderful comments!
