Session 1
- Place in plain view of the students a box labeled "Mystery Box." Examine the box periodically throughout the morning. When students ask you what's in it, respond with "You'll have to wait and see."
- When you're ready for the lesson, bring the box to the front of the classroom and ask the students if they noticed the box. What made them curious? Tell the students that they can look into the box, but first ask "Who would look into this box if they thought it might have something spooky in it? Who would look into the box if they thought it might have something dangerous in it?"
- Introduce the Ohio quarter by taking it out of the Mystery Box. Tell them that this coin highlights some people who were curious about the unknown, just like they were with the Mystery Box.
- Describe the 50 State Quarters® Program for background information, if necessary, using the example of your own state, if available. Then display the transparency or photocopy of the Ohio quarter reverse.
- As a class, discuss the symbols on the coin's reverse. Ask the students what types of things they think interested the people on the quarter. (They should guess that these people were interested in exploring ideas relating to flight.) Explain that these people knew that flight and space travel were dangerous, things that no one had ever done before, but they were brave and still wanted to learn all they could about these topics.
- Ask if your students know of any aviation pioneers. Briefly introduce the Wright brothers, John Glenn, and Neil Armstrong to your students as "aviation pioneers" who came from Ohio (Orville Wright was born there, both worked on flight there). Support this step with visuals from inside the Mystery Box (items related to aviation and space travel).
Session 2
- Introduce the students to the two stories that they will be reading and comparing on the Wright brothers and one of Ohio's famous astronauts (suggested titles are listed under "Materials").
- With the entire reading group, create a K-W-L chart to examine what students know and want to know about these pioneers. Leave the learn column empty for now.
- As a group, preview the text and illustrations to generate predictions about the selected story on the Wright brothers.
- Read this story as a group. During the reading, attend to any unfamiliar vocabulary. After reading, fill in the "L" column with all they learned about the Wright Brothers.
Session 3
- In small groups, have your students repeat steps 3 and 4 from session 2 with the selected book on an Ohio astronaut.
- Have the groups share what they learned. Add this to the "L" column of the chart.
Session 4
- Divide students into small groups and distribute a "Venn Diagram" sheet to each group. The groups will use the Venn diagrams to compare the lives and experiences of the Wright Brothers and an Ohio astronaut.
- On the lines above the ovals, have the students write the names of the pioneers being compared. Together, find at least one similarity and one difference between these aviation pioneers.
- Have students continue to add information to their Venn diagrams.
- As a class, using an enlarged or overhead version of the Venn diagram, have the students share and record the similarities and differences that they noticed.
Differentiated Learning Options
- Provide students with abbreviated versions of texts by photocopying only certain pages or condensing them yourself.
- Use a K-L chart rather than a K-W-L chart with your students.
- Challenge interested students to write a letter to one of these men asking a question that was not answered in the books. Have these students trade letters with a partner, research the answers to the questions, and write a letter back sharing the answer.
- To further use Venn diagrams, students can compare all the existing state quarters according to different rules that they develop (such as "people vs. trees").
- Have students research other flight or space pioneers and share the information with the rest of the class.
Use the worksheets and class participation to assess whether the students have met the lesson objectives.

Bruce Springsteen and former Pink Floyd bassist Roger Waters are among the stars set to perform at the "Stand Up for Heroes" benefit on November 6 at the Theater at Madison Square Garden.
The event isn't limited to music, as comedians Jerry Seinfeld and Jon Stewart have also been confirmed, according to Variety.
The seventh annual event raises money for wounded veterans. Since its inception, "Stand Up for Heroes" has raised over $16 million for the cause.
"It brings together leaders from military, business, entertainment, government, and philanthropy to raise funds to help post-911 injured service members and their families thrive long after they return to the home front," the foundation stated on its official site.
Tickets for the benefit are currently on sale through the Bob Woodruff Foundation (www.bobwoodrufffoundation.org) and the New York Comedy Festival (nycomedyfestival.com). Organizers have promised more surprise guests to be announced in the future.

Myers-Briggs/Jung Test
The MBTI is commonly Myers-Briggs/Jung Test useful for instruction and leadership improvement instruction in business organizations around the globe.
How can the MBTI function?
The MBTI dichotomies or determines your normal inclinations in four places:
1.Where you get your electricity from
Extraversion(E) the outside world of people, tasks as well as issues; or Introversion (I) the internal globe or notions and experiences
2. The way advice is taken in by you
Detection (S) a concentrate on details and current actuality; or Intuition (N) an emphasis on routines and potential chances
3 choices are made by you
Considering (T) utilizing objective reasoning; or Sensation(F) summary and ideals based
4.Favored lifestyle
Knowing(J) Prepared, ordered, enjoying issues resolved; or INTp Perceiving(P) Elastic, impulsive, keeping options open
16 character kind blends that are possible are yielded by this.
Is there a "Direction Sort"?
It's simplified to tag anyone class as a "head kind," for different motives
1.We are far over our character type. The MBTI will not quantify variables including skill level, psychological cleverness, or rational capacity – all which will affect on an individual 's potential for management.
2. We're not "boxed-in" by our kind. MBTI concept maintains that although our fundamental kind doesn't transform, therefore and as we grow we produce the non favorite elements of our character become outfitted having a more extensive selection of behaviors. This advancement is equally something and an all-natural process which we are able to develop actively.
3. Different varieties have different strong points, which could not be unimportant in a leadership function.
Curiously however, study across different states has consistently proven that Considering and Judging (TJ) kinds would be the most often happening in supervisors and leaders. Kirby, 1997 records that because these sorts are really so widespread, it can be that "Considering and Judging behaviors have grown to be the recognized description of what this means to direct, and thus, people exhibiting these behaviors are viewed as 'direction content.'"
Direction advantages and Thinking associated -Knowing contain a focus on producing constructions arrangement and procedures, usage of plausible thinking to evaluate issues, and an emphasis on efficacy and competency. Yet there may also be possible flaws for example constraining versatility and imagination, neglecting to contain with the others, along with an inclination to run selections.
It's therefore not definitely wise for practically any company to count too greatly on direction tradition or a direction; luckily this starting to be recognized.
Exactly what does this imply for girls?
It is not insignificant. Thinking – Experience (T or F) is in reality the only real dichotomy which reveals a sex prejudice. Girls are far much more than likely to report as Experience sorts (75% ). Partly this might be due to demand to adapt to what's considered socially desirable.
According to type concept, folks are many powerful and met when they developed and have identified their natural talents. In a environment which reinforces TJ abilities, girls with distinct inclinations might not have already been offered the possibility to produce their very own leadership style that was natural.
So just how could I take advantage of INTJ character type theory to aid me be a head that is better?
Consider the MBTI survey having an certified professional to determine your MBTI type. When you understand your sort, your learning can be applied by you the following:
1. Seek opportunities which allows one to make use of your advantages. You might find these in Recruiting, Corporate Training, or customer facing functions where people-skills are very important, should you be a Sensation kind. But recall any sort may do such a thing – usually do not feel restricted to your sort.
2.Recognise the target of healthful kind advancement would be to get a collection of abilities that you can draw on as proper; therefore perform on your own least favourite regions too.
3.Identify the dominating organisational tradition (probably to be TJ) and focus on developing your abilities in these regions, especially if all these are your least favourite behaviors.
Above all, use your information that is new as a framework for recognizing and comprehending coworkers' perspectives and demeanor. Through comprehending others you substantially improve your ability for sway – as Blanchard says "the secret to successful leadership today is influence, not power."

Okay, boys and girls. It's official. The link between energy and matter has been made. The powers that be in the quantum science world are finally satisfied that the Higgs Bosun is a reality.
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 was awarded jointly to François Englert and Peter W. Higgs "for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider"
So, in plain English, what does that mean to you and me? For one thing it means that because we have "mass" the thing we call "me" started as energy and most likely all energy is derived from that thing called "light". Yep, we are each, literally creatures of the light and respond and react to it as a matter of nature. Current medical science confirms that point.
Now here is where we begin to step into virgin territory, into the realm of speculation based not totally upon the science we presently rely on, but rather on the power of that science in the light of empirical logic. So let's take what we know and do a little speculating.
Energy starts as light. Energy creates mass. Mass begets matter. The human mind is matter. All this we know. Is it so far-fetched then, to think that the human mind (and therefor human thoughts) cannot respond in many different ways to light energy? If the general theory of relativity is correct, then at the speed of light, there is no such thing as time.
Past, present, and future are simultaneous. If that's true, then why couldn't the human mind be ultimately capable of seeing into the past and the future as well as the present? There are those few today and in the past who have claimed to have that ability, albiet on a more or less limited basis. Psychics (real ones, not the phonies) and remote viewers, (look it up on Google — it's real) have the ability to some extent. My speculation is that their right brain is more highly developed than most and eventually, in the long term scheme of human evolution, everyone will have this ability.
But, at this point in time, can we somehow trick our right brain into discerning future events? Probably. It's called premonition, and the milder version of it is called intuition, and there's more to it than you might realize. Medical research scientists have been studying the phenomenon vigorously. If there is substance to the theory, then the smart move is to use it to your best advantage, even if no one really knows exactly how it works yet. As this is a lottery science blog, the obvious direction is to use this possible knowledge to make some $$$ from the lottery that perhaps you couldn't make without it.
Check out www.bio-pick.com for an interesting gadget that uses biofeedback to try to enhance the right brain power of intuition. Are you a gambler, or do you know someone who plays the lottery, and would love to have the help of this gadget? Could there really be something to this? Obviously I believe there is, but in the end, it's up to you to decide.

Chinese peasant struggles from 1959 to 2013
Daybreak in dark times: the origins and vicissitudes of the village commune, the municipality, the nobility and the urban oligarchy in Catalonia - Miguel Amorós
A brief essay reviewing the social, economic, political and demographic changes that affected the urban centers of Catalonia during the period between the fall of the Roman Empire in the West and the consolidation of a united Spanish state in the 1400s, depicting the development and decay of feudalism from the perspective of the struggle of the common people for democratic rights of assembly and self-government against the engrossing tendencies of the competing feudal, royal and nascent bourgeois powers.
Selections from Perspectivas Antidesarrollistas – Miguel Amorós
Six short texts from a book published in 2012 (Anti-developmentalist Perspectives) largely based on talks given in 2009-2010 on the topic of the need for a transition from the economically, environmentally and spiritually unviable city-centered system of globalized capitalism to a new territorial dispersal of human society and productive activities, attaining a higher synthesis of the restoration of the liberating aspects of the city (freedom, public space) and the traditional virtues of the "territory" (local production, self-sufficiency) that can only be brought about by an anti-capitalist revolution.
A brief explanation of the concept of territory and its implications - Miquel Amorós
An explanation of the meaning of "territory", illustrated in its historical, social, economic and political context from the times of Cleisthenes to today's pathological "anti-cities" and mutilated rural areas, as the dynamic unity of humanity as transformative agent and nature as abstract totality, and its significance for the "anti-developmentalist critique" that seeks to reunify the these two aspects of the world in a two-pronged struggle to restore the emancipatory nature of the city (the agora, "city air makes one free") and the salutary aspects of rural life (the commons, etc.), a struggle that goes by the name of "territorial defense", the pivot of the modern social revolution.
The Bagaudae: history's first revolutionaries? - Pablo Romero Gabella
The peasants war in Germany 1525-1526 - Ernest Belfort Bax
Report from autonomous peasant congress in Indonesia
Q - Luther Blissett
Set in the time of tremendous religious and political upheaval caused by the Reformation in Europe, Q begins with Luther nailing his 95 theses on the door of the Wittenberg cathedral -- a historical flash point which would completely disrupt European society. The novel traces the adventures and conflicts of two central characters as they travel across Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. One is an Anabaptist, a member of the most radical Protestant sect. These are the anarchists of the Reformation who revolted against Catholicism and the emerging Reformation church. The other is a Catholic spy and informer.
Ancient utopia and peasant revolts in China - Ngo Van Xuyet
The last essay completed by the veteran Vietnamese council communist, written in 2004 when he was 91 years old, is a brief introduction to the history of peasant revolts in China, with special emphasis on their Taoist origins and utopian and libertarian inspirations, and features many interesting quotations from historical and religious texts.

More secure extensions, by default
Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Labels: extensions, security
Security is one of our core values, alongside speed, stability and simplicity. From day one, we've designed Chrome's extension system with security in mind. Since we launched the extension system, the state of the art in web security has advanced with technologies like Content-Security-Policy (CSP). Extension developers have been able to opt into these features, and now we're enabling these security features by default.
Unfortunately, securing extensions with CSP by default is incompatible with the legacy extension system. We're passionate about extension compatibility, so we're going to make this change gradually to minimize pain for users and developers.
Users can continue to install extensions that are available in the store regardless of whether they are secured with CSP or not. This means they will not lose any of the functionality they've added to Chrome.
Developers will be able to choose when to enable the new behavior. To ease the transition, we've introduced a new manifest version attribute in the extension manifest in Chrome 18 (currently in beta). When a developer updates his or her extension to use manifest_version 2, Chrome will enforce the following CSP policy by default:
script-src 'self'; object-src 'self'
This policy imposes the following restrictions on extensions:
- Extensions can no longer use inline scripts, such as <script> ... </script>. Instead, extensions must use out-of-line scripts loaded from within their package, such as <script src="foo.js"></script>.
- Extensions can no longer use eval(). Note: If you're using eval to parse JSON today, we suggest using JSON.parse instead.
- Extensions can load plug-ins, such as SWF files, only from within their package or from a whitelist of HTTPS hosts.
These defenses are extremely effective: adopting one of the recommended CSPs would prevent 96% (49 out of 51) of the core extension vulnerabilities we found.
For most extensions, updating them to manifest_version 2 will require the developer to move inline scripts out-of-line and to move scripts loaded from the network into the extension package. Developers are not required to update their extensions to manifest_version 2 immediately, but, over time, more of the extension ecosystem will encourage developers to update their extensions. For example, at some point, we'll likely start requiring new extensions uploaded to the web store to use manifest_version 2. You can find a complete list of changes and more details about CSP in the extension documentation.
We expect these changes will make the security of Chrome's extension system even better. If you have any feedback, please feel encouraged to email the extension developers mailing list.

QUEENS, N.Y. (PIX11)—Friends and family commemorated the 10th anniversary Saturday of the crash of American Airlines Flight 587, which went down over Belle Harbor, killing all 260 passengers and crew aboard and five people on the ground.
Mourners held roses and family photos of their lost loved during the observance of a moment of silence and the names of the victims being read aloud. Mayor Bloomberg was there to offer comfort to those left behind. "Ten years have gone by, but as you know all too well, everyday in the wake of tragedy is a day of remembrance, a time to honor and an occasion for finding strength," Bloomberg said.
"Each birthday and holiday, graduation or new addition to the family reminds us of the grandfather, grandmother, cousin or friend we miss so terribly," the mayor added.
Flight 587 bound for the Dominican Republic out of JFK Kennedy International Airport in Jamaica crashed at 9:16 a.m., Nov. 12, 2001, shocking New Yorkers still raw and traumatized from the Sept. 11, 2001, World Trade Center attack that took the lives of close to 3,000 people; scores of them were city cops and firefighters from Belle Harbor. Dominican neighborhoods across the city like Washington Heights were hard hit, as it felt like everyone knew someone aboard the doomed flight.
Because the crash happened so close to the World Trade Center attacks, there was widespread fear and speculation at the time that terrorists may have struck again. But, investigators determined pilot error caused the crash. Well over 250 lawsuits were brought because of the accident. Since then, all the suits have been settled for undisclosed amounts that reportedly totaled more than a half-a-billion dollars.
The crash remains the second deadliest aviation accident on U.S. soil -- the worst being the DC-10, American Airlines Flight 191 out of Chicago-O'Hare International Airport headed to Los Angeles on May 25, 1979. It went down shortly after takeoff that afternoon, killing all 271 aboard and two on the ground in a trailer park nearby, making it the worst domestic air crash in U.S. history.

Things I liked:Rifles and guns
Things I would have changed:Change the BB to pellet
What others should know:All it very good including this video.
Things I liked:The heft and feel. The accuracy. The Accuracy! The loading mechanism. The low co2 consumption. The fully adjustable rear sights. The number of shots per co2 cartridge.
Things I would have changed:Great gun at a reasonable price.
What others should know:If you like dotting eyes with a co2 repeating pistol, you will enjoy shooting this gun. Because the reloading slows the cooling of and consumption of co2, you get lots of shots from a cartridge.
Things I liked:Fit and finish are excellent. Realistic weight and appearance! Accuracy is pretty good after about 400 rounds and switching to Daisy premium BB's from copperheads. I'm able to put up a 3/4" grouping at 20' semi-rested SA trigger. FPS is good and a CO2 cartridge get's me about 120+ shots. Speed loader works great, just load the shells and dip them in a tin of BB's or a plastic bad full on a hard surface makes loading quick and simple.
Things I would have changed:Plastic grip looseness can be distracting at times, pretty much only when you are handling the gun and not shooting so maybe a more secure locking. Everything else is great on this gun!
What others should know:I got the 8" black because the 6" silver was not in stock but don't regret my purchase at all. Love the FPS and the weight. Very accurate and once you start shooting you can't put it down. Loading the shells is almost as much fun as shooting!! And it slows you down just a bit so the CO2 warms up a bit. I also got the custom Dan Wesson revolver case, very nice case that holds everything you need!

This is your property ?
This light and airy house is a short drive from the beaches, and is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the tranquility of Andalucia. Either the spacious living room or the patio in front are ideal places to sit and relax or lounge in the sun.
This well designed house has a few unusual features including the fireplace, and the mosaic tile built bath being two worthy of mention.
The living room/kitchen is over 40m2 and from here you walk up 3 steps in this split-level house to the bathroom and bedroom. The fully fitted kitchen has stone worktops, microwave, hob, oven, fridge, kettle and dishwasher. There is a small washroom with washing machine and drier a few metres walk away. The total living space of the property is approx 65m2; the front patio is 25 m2. & roof terrace 65m2.
Casa Clara was completed in 2007 and sleeps up to 4 people, 2 in the bedroom and the other two using bed settees in the living room.
There are plenty of fans to keep you cool in summer and in winter the house has central heating as well as a log fire to keep you warm.
There is a TV, dvd and video with a selection of video tapes and dvds as well as English Satellite TV. Casa Clara also has an internet connection.
The house has parking and a garden of approximately 150m2 which has several fruit trees and a grapevine in season, pick your own apples, oranges, pears,apricots, plums and grapes.
We also run the English bookshop in Vejer with over 3000 second hand books, choose some of these books free of charge to read during your stay!
For birdwatchers there are many storks about and I have seen Marsh harriers, booted eagles, Short-toed eagles and other raptors. This area is one of the main migration routes for birds crossing the Straits of Gibraltar.
The changeover day is Saturday, although outside of peak season we are flexible. Casa Clara is available for rent the whole year round.
The fabulous white village of Vejer is around ten minutes drive away and Barbate's beaches are 15Kms away. It is only a little further to the beaches of El Palmar and Caños De Meca , whilst the windsurfers paradise of Tarifa at the far end of the Costa De La Luz is a half hour away.
Casa Clara is about 1 hour's drive from the airports of Jerez and Gibraltar, while Malaga and Seville are around 2 hours away. Airport transfers can be arranged as well as any excursions', but car rental is strongly recommended.

Location & area
Casa Clara is in the small village of El Soto, which has two traditional Spanish bars, one of which has a small restaurant.
Nearby Montenmedio has several restaurants as well as a golf course and in February the "Sunshine Tour" with around 1,500 horses.
The UNESCO hilltop village of Vejer De La Frontera is only 7 kms away by road, and the nearest beach is in Barbate, which is 15 kms away
Jan Morris described Vejer as "Perhaps the most spectacular of all Andalucia's white villages" and it seems a fair description of the hilltop village.
The town was relatively undiscovered by foreigners until around five years ago and even today is relatively low key, especially compared to the tourist overload of the Costa del Sol.
Here on the Costa De La Luz, things are a bit more laid back and the whole coast is almost one long stretch of glorious Atlantic beaches. Nearby beach resorts are Conil, El Palmar, Los Canos De Meca, Barbate, and Zahara de los Atunes. The lighthouse at Cape Trafalgar, scene of the famous battle is nearby.
The whole area is steeped in history, everywhere you look there are reminders of Spain's Moorish past, and you don't have to look too far to see relics of Roman and pre historic Spain.
Cadiz(Gades) is the oldest town in Europe, was settled by the Phoenecians around 5,000 years ago, whilst the Cave art at nearby Benalup Sidonia is thought to be over 30,000 years old. It was here in Cadiz, that Drake "singed the king of Spain's beard" and his attack on the harbour in 1587 postponed the invasion of the Armada for another year.
Cadiz is a historic city with a lovely old town and probably the biggest carnival in Europe, it is the same time of year as the Rio carnival, lasts for ten days and sees people out celebrating all night in fancy dress.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Paying for College: The Financial Aid Puzzle | 01.27.10
The cost of a college education is rising every year. This year the average cost of a private four-year school was $26,273, up 4.4% from last year, and the average cost of a public school was $7,020, up 6.5% from last year. For most families, paying for college is a struggle. If you feel like you do not have all the pieces of the financial aid puzzle, you are not alone.
On January 1st the 2010-2011 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) was released. The FAFSA is probably the most important part of the financial aid puzzle. If you are planning on attending college in the fall of 2010 you should be in the process of submitting this form. The FAFSA determines how much federal financial aid you are eligible to apply for. There are three basic types of federal student aid:
- Grants: Grant money is financial aid that does not have to be repaid. Most grant money is based on financial need.
- Work-study: Work-study money is earned through a job or near campus. Work-study money does not have to be repaid.
- Loans: Loan money, including subsidized Stafford loans and unsubsidized Stafford loans, is awarded by the government and must be repaid with interest.
Federal financial aid can be a huge help when paying for college, but since most federal financial aid is awarded based on need, not everyone who files a FAFSA will be awarded sufficient aid to cover their education. So what happens when your federal Stafford loans and grants are not enough? Luckily, there are other pieces of the financial aid puzzle that can help you pay for college.
PLUS Loans are federal student loan options that are not based on financial need, but rather on credit. There are two types of PLUS loans; Parent PLUS loans and Graduate PLUS loans. If you are an undergraduate student, your parents can apply for a PLUS loan to help supplement the cost of your education. If you are a graduate student you can apply for a PLUS loan for yourself. With the federal PLUS loan you can borrow up to 100% of unmet financial need. PLUS loan money can also help you pay for educational costs not covered by your tuition including housing and supplies.
Some students choose to add private student loans to their financial aid puzzle. Private Student Loans are an alternative student loan option. Although you should always apply for federal financial aid before pursuing this option, private student loans have a few advantages. Private student loans are awarded based on credit rather than on need. You can use private student loans for any education related cost including textbooks, housing and transportation. If you are looking for a private student loan, the new private student loan comparison tool on PrivateStudentLoans.com can help you determine which lender and loan best meets your needs.
Because private student loans are based on credit, most students need a parent, family member, or close friend to cosign the loan. A cosigner is an individual who agrees to pay any debts if the primary account holder is unable to do so. This ensures to the lender that the loan will be paid back even if the student borrower does not have the funds to make payments.
The final, and quite possibly the best, piece of the puzzle is scholarships. Scholarships are favorable because unlike loans they do not have to be repaid. Hundreds of thousands of organizations around the country award scholarships to students based on their backgrounds, interests and accomplishments. StudentScholarshipSearch.com is a website that helps you find and apply for scholarships that you qualify for.
Every student's financial aid puzzle is put together differently. Many students take advantage of all of these financial aid options while some students only need to use one or two. Some student might qualify for more financial aid while other students might be awarded more scholarship money. Whatever your financial situation is, remember that all of these options exist to help you complete your education.

Cleveland Clinic tips on how friends and family can enhance mood, heart health and happiness
(15 Photos)
Cleveland Clinic/360-5.com
Sep 21, 2012 at 11:49PM
Nisian Hughes/Stone/Getty Images
When it comes to reaping the rewards of healthy attachments — including improved cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hormonal and immune health — nothing can really top the positive physiological effects that occur when we are physically present with someone with whom we feel connected. "Communicating in person elicits certain feelings and emotions that you simply can't experience through writing or on the phone," says Michael McKee, MD, a psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic. "You get to pick up on nonverbal inflection, such as seeing this person smile with her eyes, as well as her mouth. You can also interact physically, whether it's greeting each other with a kiss, shaking hands, a gentle touch on the back or a hug." The brain sees all of these things as positive and, pardon the pun, sends out an e-mail alerting the rest of the body, which in turn triggers a whole chain of events, including slower heart rate, the release of the calming hormone oxytocin, and slowed production of the stress hormone cortisol. This isn't to say that social media, including Skype and Facebook, have no value. In fact, Dr. McKee says that "digital tools can be useful for maintaining friendships, as long as they don't replace in-person interactions."

- " This hostel was really nice and clean. It was a bit difficult to locate, they don't have much signage. However, once we found it it wasn't that difficult. It's literally a block from the bus station. One street over are some nice cafés and starter bars, a few blocks up by some of the older parts of town are the clubs and later bars. The place has a high tech lock system; also lockers in the room are included. The bathrooms were super clean, and the room was as well. They provide linens as well. "

Dear Reader,
I am not certain what there is to say about myself that would enhance your reading experience. I would warn you that there is a rather significant disconnect between myself and the culture of the current day (more than is credible, even to those who know me personally). I am more unfamiliar with Internet etiquette than I ought to be; I treat electronic communication as I would letters to persons with whom I am unacquainted (others tend to find my e-mails curiously antiquated). I deeply appreciate constructive criticism and reviews of my work; I understand that in penning a review, somebody has given of their time to help me improve my craft. I have tried to extend the same courtesy, but am wary of doing so, as I am apparently a harsh and exacting editor, and for that I have become embroiled in some misunderstandings and fractured friendships in the Real World. I hope that in this lovely community of writers, a blunt and tactless critic is appreciated, or at least tolerated (likely with some amusement at her expense), rather than reviled.
I should also add that I am fairly new to the online fanfiction community. I have lurked, read, and occasionally reviewed, but have thus far been reluctant to post my own work. I have too long cherished my privacy and personal contact with my readers and beta-editors; I recently felt the need to expand my circle. Thus, here I am.
Happy reading!
Pax vobiscum,
P.S. You may also find me at Harry Potter Fan Fiction, under the same penname.
P.P.S. There is apparently somebody on FanFiction.net with the username Aethyr. We are not the same person.

State Of The Union Address Offers More Spending, More Government
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Family Research Council President Tony Perkins released the following statement in response to President Obama's State of the Union Address:
"Tonight, President Obama tried to prove that he has the answer to economic stagnation. Unfortunately for America, his solution to the crisis is more of the same: more spending.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080930/FRCLOGO)
"However, throwing more money at our problems hasn't worked in the last four years, and there's no reason to believe it will now. It's time for the administration to drop the failed ideology that government is the source of America's greatness and allow the free market, fueled by strong families, get America on the road to economic recovery. While the Left looks for the answer to violence in gun control or poverty in welfare, America's greatest hope continues to be the home."As FRC's research makes clear, an intact married family who worships regularly is the antidote for almost every social ill addressed in this speech. Those growing up in an intact married family have greater educational attainment, are less likely to be involved in crime, and less likely to be poor. "The President's speech included a call for 'stronger families' and 'removing the financial deterrents to marriage for low-income couples' yet his own policies undermine family formation. For example, the President's fiscal cliff deal imposed a new marriage penalty on many American families. As FRC's Marriage and Religion Research Institute (MARRI) reported today, family structure is virtually as important as education in determining favorable social outcomes. If the President was serious about strengthening families and society, he would not be working to further dissuade couples from getting married. We should be encouraging family formation, not penalizing it at any income level. "The President declared his desire to encourage 'fatherhood.' How can he reconcile this statement with his endorsement for redefining marriage which intentionally deprives a child of a dad or mom?

1550- Standard Wet Fly Hook
This is the traditional "wet fly" hook. Wet flies are time honored, successful, subsurface patterns. (see 1530) These hooks feature a more gradual curve of the wire in the transition from the straight shank to the bottom of the bend. This shape is associated with an early English hook-maker named Sproat and today is still referred to as a sproat bend. Dedicated fly tiers consider this as the proper bend to give wet flies their aesthetic beauty.Available in bronze sizes: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18

When I first started trying to lose weight I was able to successfully do 2 hours of cardio a day for a week which resulted in 4 lbs of weight loss. However I'm not quite sure how accurate my weigh-ins are due to the amount of water I drink in a day (Around 5 liters). However there was significant weight loss.
I decided to cut all the junk food out of my diet and focus on low fat/low sugar foods. I also began taking hydroxycut. I was never starving myself when I was dieting/cardio/lifting however I'd sometimes eat more than I know I should have before bed.
I then had a surgery where I had to stay out of the gym for 2 weeks. I gained 7 lbs during this time partly due to the fact that I was only able to eat soft foods (Adenoids and Tonsils removed). After I had healed from my surgery I began going back to the gym. Except this time I was focused on building mass. I stopped taking the hydroxycut and cut the cardio out of my workout. I was able to increase my bicep size by an inch and I was able to actually feel more muscle being developed in the shoulders/upper chest.
With skin fold tests they show me as 12% Body Fat and I'd like to get this down to around 7-8% before I begin weight training/clean bulking again.
Should I follow a reduced calorie diet with light cardio or a normal diet with the higher intensity cardio?
Doing 2 hours of a cardio a day should not be a problem as I work fulltime and the staff at my university is on strike and my gym is right near my workplace I could show up in the morning for 1 hours (550 cal) and 1 hour after work for another 550 calories burned.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
