Winter Festival and Triple Threat Winter Triathlon
If you happen to be anywhere near Mammoth Lakes, Calif. in early February, attend the inaugural June Lake Winter Festival and Triple Threat Winter Triathlon on February 1 through 3. Sounds F-U-N.
Festivities begin on Friday with registration for the Triple Threat Triathlon (for those who didn't register online ahead of time head to Active.com). Also on tap will be snowman-making and snow-sculpting along Main Street, plus the Welcome Party at the Sierra Inn.
On Saturday, catch the action at the first ever Triple Threat Winter Triathlon – a race that combines cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and laser rifle shooting. When the race concludes, walk through town to view the snow sculptures – don't forget to vote on your favorites – and enjoy free promotions hosted by local businesses at the June Lake Village Snow Stroll.
After that, take the kids to the Family Fun Zone located at the base of June Mountain and build a snowman at the Snowman Camp, compete in the Family Obstacle Course, Snowball Shot Put or Icicle Javelin games, enjoy the mini sledding hill, music, and grab a hot drink. The Family Fun Zone is open from 12 noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
Experience the charm of June Lake Village as the town throbs to life as revelers gather round the bonfire. Down canyon, the popular band Jelly Bread will perform at 7 p.m. at the Double Eagle Resort where there is plenty of parking. For visitors staying in Mammoth Lakes, hop on the free shuttle bus that runs during the day between Mammoth Lakes and June Lake. A shuttle schedule is posted.
What is your favorite winter sport? I need to take a personal day and head to Mammoth Lakes next week!Tags: beauty, eco-friendly, repurposing, socially conscious

Judges and lawyers seem to love (or love to hate) legal metaphors. Take, for example, Justice Stevens's marketplace-for-ideas metaphor in which ideas are free to compete, or how about Chief Justice Roberts's "judges-are-like-umpires" metaphor. And, of course, I would be remiss if I did not also mention the classic "fruit-of-the-poisoneous-tree" metaphor.
In keeping with this tradition, imagine the Constitution not as a single document, but, rather, as a family. Each constitutional right represents a member of the family. Some of the family members are older and wiser (e.g., the right to free speech), while others are young and still developing (e.g., the right to privacy). Within this family framework, how closely related are the right to free speech and the right to freely associate? Are they "next of kin" or distant relatives? To answer this question and appreciate its relevance, a little background is necessary.
A. What is the "Freedom of Association"?
The constitutional right to "freely associate" protects two separate and unique categories of conduct. On one hand, it protects "the freedom of intimate association, which is coextensive with the right to privacy." LaTourelle v. Barber, No. CIV S-10-2667-MCE-CMK (E.D. Cal. Jan. 23, 2012). The right to form intimate, personal relationships with others is protected from unwarranted state interference. Although no one provision of the Constitution explicitly creates a "freedom of association," the right nevertheless exists based on the idea that "emotional enrichment from close ties with others" is "central to any concept of liberty." Roberts v. U.S. Jaycees, 468 U.S. 609, 618 (1984).
This constitutional right also protects "the freedom of expressive association," which includes the right to assemble with others in public to express ideas, exercise religion, and partake in other activities protected from undue government interference by the First Amendment. LaTourelle, No. CIV S-10-2667-MCE-CMK.
B. The Public-Concern Test
Today's circuit split involves the "public-concern" test introduced in Connick v. Myers, 461 U.S. 138 (1983). Under this test, a government employer is said to have violated the First Amendment's speech protection if it retaliates against a public employee for speaking in their private capacity on a matter of public concern. But does the public-concern test for freedom of speech claims extend to freedom of association claims as well? The answer depends on how closely related you believe these two sets of constitutional rights are.
C. A Well-Developed Circuit Split
The following courts treat the freedom of speech and freedom of association as "next in kin" by applying the public-concern test to determine whether there has been a violation of an employee's constitutional right to freely associate:
- Cobb v. Pozzi, 363 F.3d 89, 102 (2d Cir. 2003) ("[A] public employee bringing a First Amendment freedom of association claim must persuade a court that the associational conduct at issue touches on a matter of public concern.");
- Klug v. Chicago Sch. Reform Bd. of Trs., 197 F.3d 853, 857 (7th Cir. 1999) ("In this circuit, a public employee is protected from adverse employment consequences based on the exercise of the right to freedom of association only when the associational conduct relates to a matter of public concern."); Marshall v. Allen, 984 F.2d 787, 798 (7th Cir. 1993) (applying Connick to freedom of association claims);
- Edwards v. City of Goldsboro, 178 F.3d 231, 249-50 (4th Cir. 1999) (applying the public-concern requirement to a freedom of association claim and observing that "logically, the limitations on a public employee's right to associate are 'closely analogous' to the limitations on his right to speak");
- Boals v. Gray, 775 F.2d 686, 692 (6th Cir. 1985) ("We perceive no logical reason for differentiating between speech and association in applying Connick to first amendment claims, and hold that it is so applicable."); and
- Martin v. City of Del City, 179 F.3d 882, 888 (10th Cir. 1999) ("This court has applied the[] principles from Connick v. Myers . . . in deciding First Amendment claims asserted by a public employee, who had claimed violations of her right to freedom of speech, freedom of association, and to petition for redress of grievances.").
Choosing instead to treat freedom of speech and freedom of association as distant relatives, the Fifth and Eleventh Circuits have declined to adopt the public-concern test in the context of freedom of association claims:
- Boddie v. City of Columbus, 989 F.2d 745, 747 (5th Cir. 1993) (holding that a plaintiff asserting a First Amendment freedom of association claim need not show that his or her associational activity touched upon a matter of public concern), and
- Hatcher v. Bd. of Pub. Educ. & Orphanage, 809 F.2d 1546, 1558 (11th Cir. 1989) (finding that Connick does not apply to freedom of association claims); Hatcher v. Bd. of Pub. Educ. & Orphanage, 809 F.2d 1546, 1558 (11th Cir. 1987) (holding that a principal who based her freedom of association claim on her connection with protesting parents was not required to demonstrate that her association related to a matter of public concern).

Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book
Celebrate sleep with Dr. Seuss' classic rhyming good-night picture book. Van Vleck, a very small bug, is getting sleepy, and his yawn—contagious as yawns are—sets off a chain reaction, making all those around him feel sleepy, too! With typically Seussian nods to alarm clocks, sleepwalking, and snoring, this charming ode to bedtime will lull listeners (and readers) toward dreamland. * Hardcover * 64 pages * Published August 12, 1962
The Cat in the Hat Songbook
This classically wacky songbook contains 19 Seuss-songs for the beginning singer. There are lively songs like "Plinker Plunker" and "The No Laugh Race," bedtime songs like "Lullaby for Mr. Benjamin B. Bickelbaum," and just plain silly songs like "Cry a Pint." With a sturdy binding that opens flat for easy use, and simple piano and guitar arrangements, The Cat in the Hat Songbook is truly something to sing about!
Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?
This classic book provides the perfect antidote for readers of all ages who are feeling a bit down in the dumps. Thanks to Dr. Seuss' trademark rhymes and signature illustrations, readers will, without a doubt, realize just how lucky they truly are.
Hunches in Bunches
What's a person to do when there is so much to do? Dr. Seuss adds his signature spin to the age-old dilemma of indecisiveness in his rhyming picture-book classic Hunches in Bunches.

Homemade Gyros
I love Greece, and I love Greek food.
My family and I used to go to the islands every summer. We'd take a boat and find a private little cove for the day. With nothing but pebbles and crickets to keep us company, we'd read and snooze until the early afternoon when we'd sail off in search of lunch.
Most of the restaurants would have their own jettys, so I'd throw a waiter the rope, tie up and spend the rest of the afternoon under the vines drinking wine and gorging ourselves on tzatziki and feta.
During the day I'd always have zucchini, pasta, cheeses, dips and olives. But once a holiday my mother would give in to my pleas and take me for Gyros.
Gyros (pronounced yee-rohs) are the ultimate street food. A flat bread packed to bursting with flavours, textures and that secret sauce everyone guards so seriously!
Next week my family are going to Greece without me, so I thought I'd make my own little slice of Greek heaven, and eat my weight in them while my mother's back is turned.
If, like me, you fancy licking tzatziki and crushed guacamole off your lips with a guilty grin, you'll need:
2 free-range chicken breasts, cut into strips,
1 ripe avocado,
1 tomato,
2 flat breads,
1/2 red onion,
2 tbsp malt vinegar,
2tbsp mayonaise,
2tsp harissa paste,
1tsp honey,
1 lime,
Olive oil,
Tzatziki (recipe from scratch here or store bought - I wont tell anyone),
Tin foil.
Start by chopping your red onion as finely as possible and pop it into a little Tupperwear pot with your vinegar. Put the lid on and shake it like a Poloroid picture. Pop this in the fridge to mingle. (The longer the better.)
Now, toss your chicken breasts in olive oil, salt & pepper. Add to a hot griddle pan and cook until brown and delicious.
While it's cooking, slice your avocado & tomato and place to one side.
Make your Tzatziki (or open the pot you naughty little cheater).
Make your 'secret sauce' from your mayonaise, harissa paste, honey, the juice of one lime and tabasco to taste.
If your chicken is cooked by now, take it off the heat and place to one side.
Pop your flat breads under a hot grill for about a min each side.
Now, lay out a piece of foil and assemble your masterpiece.
I like heat so always add a little extra tabasco.
Wrap it all up using the foil, going at a slight angle like a florist would.
Place to one side.
And repeat.
Sit back with a cold glass of wine or a really cold coke (if we're being trashy we may as well go all out) and pretend you're sitting right here:
If you're serving them for dinner you'll probably want fries, but I think a well stuffed "yeeroh" is more than enough for lunch. Kalí óreksi! (bon appétit!) .

Interview: Justin Zoradi on soccer, South Africa and…not the World Cup!
Justin Zoradi never expected to write a business plan, much less start his own organization. ("I got a C-minus in microeconomics in college!") But after a service trip to South Africa in 2006, that's exactly what he did. Living and working for a summer in the Cape Flats townships on the outskirts of Cape Town, Zoradi, a soccer-loving 23-year-old from Portland, Oregon, saw what many visitors to South Africa see–that nearly two decades after the end of apartheid most black South Africans still live in poverty, and black youth have little access to education or opportunity. Soon after, he founded a crowd-funded scholarship program, These Numbers Have Faces, to address the stark inequities he'd seen up close. Its mission: to break the cycle of poverty by offering the youth of Cape Flats a shot at college and a better life. What These Numbers doesn't offer, says Zoradi, now 27, is charity; participants have to do tutoring and service projects and attend financial literacy courses, among other things–building the skills they need to become changemakers in their own communities.
Dowser spoke recently with Zoradi from These Numbers' office in a repurposed warehouse in Portland.
Dowser: You provide scholarships to South African kids who can't afford to go to college. How are you doing that?
Zoradi: We're working with eight kids on scholarship in college now, and we're building a robust program in the Cape Flats townships, which we hope will absorb hundreds of young people from the townships; they'll get college scholarships, but also mentoring and service projects and financial literacy training–everything they need to really succeed.
What's your approach, and how did it evolve?
We didn't want to just hand someone a scholarship, because that's charity, and we don't want to be about charity. They have to put something in, and I have to put something in. So in return for a scholarship, our students do tutoring and service projects, attend financial literacy courses, and then commit to a financial reinvestment plan where they give 1% of their future income for life back into the program so that new students can go to college behind them.
Let's take a step back. What's your connection to South Africa?
After college I moved to Belfast, Northern Ireland, to do peace and conflict resolution work with Catholic Protestant young people. In 2006, I led a trip of kids to South Africa to do a summer-long service program. They built houses in townships, did HIV/AIDS outreach work, and a whole lot of peace and conflict work, learning about the South African transition to democracy and then trying to apply it back to Northern Ireland.
And there's a soccer angle, right?
Right. I played soccer with this team outside Cape Town. They used soccer to promote AIDS awareness, along with leadership skills and character development. I got really tight with all the players and the coach, and on my last night the coach asked me, "Will you help the boys on my team go to college?" And I said, "I'm not your guy. Trust me. I got a C- in microeconomics in college. I can't do it." But I promised to stay in touch.
How did you get from there to founding the organization?
I was sitting alone after class [in graduate school at Portland State University in 2006], and I heard this voice saying, 'Justin, will you deny for others what you demand for yourself?' I've been given everything in my life, and I think it's my job as a person of privilege, who believes in social justice and equality, to give back. And I realized that even though I had no idea what I was doing, I cared about those young people in South Africa and felt a direct responsibility to take action.
Then what?
I rallied all my friends, and I said, this is what I want to do and I need your help. I think I've done a great job of leveraging social capital, and involving people who know things that I don't – finance, Web development, so many things.
What are some of the greatest challenges you've faced?
I'm sitting in an office in Portland trying to affect the lives of people 4,000 miles away. That disconnect is really hard for me.
What about cultural challenges?
Western and African ideas about money are very different. In Africa, if you have money because you have a good job and you've gone to college, and I'm your cousin, brother, even friend down the street, it's culturally acceptable for me to come to you every day and ask you for money. And you're culturally required to do so.
Why is that so bad?
Educated people with good jobs can never really save money, because they're constantly doling it out to their family and friends. We're trying to get kids set up with opportunities so that they can make money and exit poverty, we're teaching them how to budget and not get in credit card debt, and all these very Western ideas about how to manage money. When you throw that into an African cultural scenario, it gets problematic.
How do you deal with that?
The last thing I want to do is try and force Western beliefs onto people in Africa, but we also want to make sure that our students are doing well and saving money. We haven't quite got it figured out.
How are you funded?
We've developed a small donor strategy to make up the bulk of our base. The initial donor circle was our friends and family, then we got other people to sign up to give 25 dollars a month. We have a much larger donor pool this way. I'll take that many small donors over two or three large donors, because you never know what's going to happen with them.
- The TNHF Campaign For Academic Equality: Check out this video from TNHF.
- TNHF's Community Impact Model: Read up on how TNHF is committed to putting itself out of business.
- The 2010 World Cup – Party or Paradigm?: Zoradi's thoughtful analysis of World Cup marketing versus reality.
Where do you see TNHF in five to 10 years time?
In five years I'd definitely like to get 100 kids in the Cape Flats townships involved with this, and increase the size of the staff in South Africa. We have room to grow. Over time, I want to develop a strategy where we can create a sustainable organization in South Africa that can take off on its own. Also, our model's applicable anywhere in the world, so if we get our program in South Africa going, we can look for another place in the world where this could fly.
What keeps you going?
The relationships that I have with these people, and the fact that whenever I'm feeling down or overwhelmed or uninspired and I get those feelings of self-doubt, I get on the phone and I call our staff out there, I call the students, I call friends of mine out there and immediately my hope is restored.
This interview was edited and condensed.

First there was the cronut – that half croissant, half doughnut creation dreamed up by the Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York. The cronut has taken the world by storm.
Will the savoury doughnut, or even The Brassierie's goanut (goat's cheese doughnut) be next?
Meet Christian Rozsenich, executive chef at The Tower Hotel's Brasserie restaurant. He's just designed a brand new menu for the restaurant which features dishes like slow roasted pork (which he cooks for eight whole hours), a lobster ravioli, broccoli with cheddar bonbons and, intriguingly, goat's cheese doughnuts.
And the new menu certainly seems to have gone down well with diners: the Brasserie has just won a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for 2013.
We caught up with Christian to find out how he came up with the idea, what he thinks of the cronut craze and why he loves pairing sweet and savoury…
Why you think we should try savoury doughnuts rather than just sweet?
I don't believe in putting flavours together for the sake of it, but I love pairing savoury flavours with sweet ones. Salted caramel or sea salt specked chocolates are a great example – the salt brings out the sweetness so much more.
Goat's cheese is such a punchy, distinctive flavour that it needs a contrast and so works well with sweeter flavours like beetroot and fruit.
Here I've gone a step further and put it in a fluffy doughnut and paired it with fruity beetroot compote, salted caramel mousse, caramelised pecan nuts and balsamic vinegar, which has been aged for eight years. It might seem like a daring combination, but the philosophy behind it is sound and it really works. A goanut, if you will.
Do you hope the trend will take off?
Of course, I want diners to come away from the restaurant feeling inspired and excited to try something new. It's always good to keep the taste buds alive by treating them to a new and unexpected flavour.
Crepes can be filled with savoury or sweet ingredients, and I want people to think of doughnuts in the same way. They're the perfect vehicle for something like goat's cheese.
What do you think of croissant doughnuts (cronuts)?
I love croissants and I love doughnuts, but I'm not convinced that a hybrid is totally necessary, sorry. Still, it's always great to see chefs innovating and pushing the boundaries.
A short history of doughnuts
The origins of the doughnut are somewhat shrouded in mystery, but it's thought that the Dutch brought them to America (along with other sweet treats like apple pie and cookies). The Dutch called them oliekoek, which translates to 'oil cake'.
By the middle of the 19th century, doughnuts had undergone a thoroughly American makeover and they've been a huge part of American culture ever since. They're Homer Simpson's favourite treat, they were the snack which female Salvation Army volunteers served American soldiers during the First World War for sustenance and there are few roadside diners in America which don't offer doughnuts at the counter. The Americans love doughnuts so much that they even have a National Doughnut Day, which falls on the first Friday of June.
But there's also a movement which is embracing a more refined kind of doughnut, both in America and the rest of the world, often with unusual flavour combinations. Bakers are coming out with boundary-pushing flavours like crème brûlée, bacon with maple syrup and red velvet doughnuts. The Thai branch of the Mister Donut chain even trialled a sushi doughnut – doughnuts decorated with toppings resembling (but thankfully not containing) raw fish. And Heston Blumenthal has shared a recipe for his exploding potato doughnuts. So The Brasserie's goanut is in good company…
Do you like eating sweet and savoury flavours together? Would you try a savoury doughnut or our goanut?

RELEASED: April 9, 2008
EAU CLAIRE — The 19th annual Hmong Community Fellowship Banquet, "New Directions: Forging and Building Bridges," will be held from 5:30-8 p.m. April 23 in the Council Fire Room at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's Davies Center.
The goal of this year's event is to rebuild community relations while fostering new ones and to share the accomplishments of the HMAA, said organizers of the event. The banquet will provide community members, non-profit agencies and businesses with a chance for camaraderie and the opportunity to enrich and strengthen relationships within the community.
Past participants have noted they enjoyed listening to the stories told by Hmong Americans, meeting new people and hearing how Eau Claire has changed.
A dinner consisting of Hmong dishes will be served at 6 p.m. A speaker and play performance will follow the dinner.
The keynote speaker is Caitlin Mai Chong Lee of the UW-Eau Claire Affirmative Action Office. She will give a brief update on agency activities and speak about the new direction the agency hopes to take in the coming months.
The play to be performed, "Stir Fried Pop Culture" by May Lee Yang, has been called a clever, hilarious and thought provoking play that confronts stereotypes and identity issues experienced by Hmong Americans.
Reservations should be made by April 16 at the Hmong Mutual Assistance Association Inc. at 423 Wisconsin St. in Eau Claire. Reservations also will be taken by phone at 715-832-8420 or fax at 715-832-0612.
Sponsors of the event are the Eau Claire Hmong Mutual Assistance Association and UW-Eau Claire's Office of Multicultural Affairs.
For more information, contact Ying Xiong at 715-832-8420 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

More Clips & Interviews
In the comedy "Ghost Town," Bertram Pincus (Ricky Gervais) is a man whose people skills leave much to be desired. When Pincus dies unexpectedly and but is miraculously revived after seven minutes, he wakes up to discover that he now has the annoying ability to see ghosts. Even worse, they all want something from him, particularly Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear), who pesters him into breaking up the impending marriage of his widow Gwen (Téa Leoni). That puts Pincus squarely in the middle of a triangle, with spirited results.
A spirited romantic comedy, Ghost Town is the story of Bertram Pincus (Ricky Gervais), a cranky Manhattan dentist who develops the unwelcome ability to see dead people. Really annoying dead people. But, when a smooth-talking ghost (Greg Kinnear) traps Bertram into a romantic scheme involving his widow Gwen (Tea Leoni), they are entangled in a hilarious predicament between the now and the hereafter!

It's a crucial moment for both shows as Tony nominations loom, but keeping your eye on the prize can be hard.

On Tony night, the awards might not provide the answers everyone is looking for. As Jimmy (Jeremy Jordan) faces a final reckoning, Tom, Julia (Debra Messing), Derek (Jack Davenport), Karen (Katharine McPhee), Ivy, and most of all, Eileen (Anjelica Huston) wait to see if the ceremony will confirm their place in the Broadway pantheon once and for all.

All eyes are on Smash as the NBC musical drama prepares to unveil its second season on Tuesday (9/8c on NBC). But it's not because fans are dying to know whether Ivy (Megan Hilty) survived her possible pill overdose or if Karen (Katharine McPhee) ditched her cheating boyfriend — it's because fans are waiting to see just how much the Smash they loved, and more famously loved to hate, has changed its tune.
Premiering on NBC a year ago with impressive critical acclaim and almost inescapable advertising, Smash follows the creation of Bombshell, a new Broadway musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe, and the characters involved behind the scenes. Over the first season, ingénues Karen and Ivy tried to out-diva each other for the main role while juggling messy love lives, lyricist Julia (Debra Messing) cheated on...

Precious Memories
Sunday, August 6th, 1978, Adam Shane Godwin made his entrance into this world.
From birth, Adam was his brothers baby! When I could not do anything to stop Adam's crying, Kristopher, who was exactly 3 1/2 yrs. old the day of Adam's birth, would say to me, "Give me my baby. Let me have him. He wants me!" I suppose that he did. The moment I would hand him to Kristopher, the crying stopped and the cooing began. They were inseparable throughout their life. For that I am most grateful. Adam was so totally different than Kristopher, even from birth. Kristopher never cried as a baby. He slept 12 hours a night, from birth. He was a quiet, calm, very easy going baby and child. His clothes had to match, down to his socks, as a toddler. He couldn't stand to get dirty, and now at the age of 24, has had his hands dirty one time that I know of! I even took a picture of that! Adam...totally different...From the time he arrived, he made his presence known. He seemed to never sleep, just like his mother! By the time he was 7, he had most likely asked more questions than I have asked to this day. Kristopher would tease him sometimes and offer him a dollar if he could be quiet for just 5 minutes on the way home from town. LOL He never did get a dollar for that! I'll never forget one day when Adam was 8 years old, and he and I were riding home from town, by ourselves. We were halfway home and he had talked non-stop thus far, (10 minutes) and he looked at me and asked, "Can I ask you a question and you tell me the truth?" Of course, I told him, "Most certainly!" "Do I drive you crazy by talking all the time, asking so many questions, never being quite?" I was stunned! Did he actually talk too much? Did he talk all the time? I hadn't really noticed! That was just Adam. I couldn't imagine him being any other way. "Of course you don't drive me crazy! How could you? You're my Adam." We both smiled at one another and laughed. I remember a time when he was 16 years old, a year before he was killed, when I looked at him and asked him, "What are you trying to do? Drive me crazy?" He looked at me and said, "I could never drive you crazy. I'm your Adam." I cried. Adam had a passion for life. He was completely different from all the other people around him. We live in a very small country community. Sports, cowboys, rednecks, sports! Here he was, a skater (skateboard), an artist, writer, musician...his passion was the drums, *weird* clothes, *strange* hair cuts, different music. I'm sure you get the picture! When he spent a year in the public school here, his Freshman year, he made many friends. What was *strange* about the friends he made was the fact that none of them could stand one another. They had never had anything to do with one another...until they each became Adam's friend. He would tell each one of them, "You may not like him and he may not like you. But when you are with me, you will be friends and get along with one another." Today, those who Adam made friends with, who couldn't stand one another before Adam's presence in their lives, are friends. I believe they always will be. I remember the last question that Adam asked me, just two days before his death. He had bought a truck just a month earlier, and washed it daily. I kept telling him that he was going to wash the paint off of it if he didn't give it a break! *S* He was washing the truck when I returned home from shopping. As we were carrying the groceries in, I noticed a very small spot on the back fender. I asked him what that was. He said, "Well, you told me that I was going to wash the paint off...I did! There was some touch up paint on that spot and I actually scrubbed it off!" How we laughed at that! I stood in the doorway, watching him wash that truck, and he looked at me and asked, "Mother, do you think that it is a sin to be proud of something? I mean really, really proud of something?" Of course I knew he was talking about his truck! I told him, "Of course not, baby! Why this is your very first truck. The first major responsibility you have. Of course, you are proud of it!" He smiled that beautiful smile of his and then laughed out loud and said, "Good!" as he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued, "Because I certainly don't want to be guilty of having any idol in my life!" I couldn't help but laugh...along with him. That laugh echoes in my mind to this day. That was the last question Adam asked me. The night that his body was found, I was sitting in my recliner and I heard his voice so very plainly...and he said, "Mother, do you think that it is a sin to be proud of something? I mean really, really proud of something?" Without hesitation, I turned and answered, "Of course not baby! Why that is your new home. Of course, you are proud of it!" I cried.On Sunday, Mother's Day, May 12th, 1996, Adam Shane Godwin made his departure from this world; and made his entrance into his new home. There are times that I miss him so much that I don't know what to do with myself. Then there are times that I can't possibly say that I miss him, because it is as though his presence surrounds me. My new life. Adam Shane GodwinSunday, August 6th, 1978Sunday, May 12th, 1996 I Love You, Adam, more than life itself...Mother My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves Precious Memories no one can steal.

Landmark Decision: A Historic Renovation in Manhattan
In renovating an apartment for her family in a historic downtown Manhattan building, a partner in the design firm Carolina George fine-tunes the layout to make its classic details shine
By Michael Lassell
ED: What were some of the changes you made?
CCR: One of the big changes was the hallway that starts in the entry foyer. It leads from the living room to the family room and has custom cherry shelves for our book collection. The bottom storage holds dishes and china, and the units hide a lot of the mechanical and plumbing works. The hallway was the way we really combined the two original apartments so they actually look like one.
ED: What's the finish on the ceiling beams?
CCR: They're Venetian plaster in two colors, blue and gray. The wall between the living room and the study has the same finish. Our painter practically moved in here while he was doing that.
A Ballard Designs daybed and a Dwell Studio chair and ottoman upholstered in Carolina George fabric in the nursery; the watercolor is by Paul Jenkins, and the walls are painted in Benjamin Moore Aurain Balboa Mist and White.

Comments about Rubies Costume Company Kids Harry Potter Ravenclaw Robe:
My three kids wanted go as Harry, Hermione and Luna. This robe looks just like the Gryffindor robe (HP53). Iron on house crest and polyester knit fabric keep cost low on this robe. It looks well put together and might even be washable - we'll do that after the Halloween party. I am glad I didn't try to make a robe for this price.

Dear Friends & Valued Customers
In a relative blink of the eye, Summer is over, our Wingshooting School program season has ended and the much anticipated upland bird and waterfowl seasons are beginning.
First, we want to thank all our school students for making our 19th FIELDSPORT Wingshooting School program a grand and safe success. Once again, our schools were sold out and Dale Tate and I had our work cut out for us mentoring and coaching on thousands of target presentations. We hope that everyone felt like their wingshooting technique improved because of their time spent with us. Students, please remember to continue practicing the skills you were introduced to and learned and your future as wingshooters are guaranteed be more rewarding, consistent and successful. Thank You one and all.
I also would like to acknowledge and thank Walt Noa and his fine staff for promoting the first annual U.P. Side x Side Event, held near Gladstone, MI late August. Walt noted to me that he wants their event to be the perfect wingshooting venue leading up to Fall bird seasons in the Midwest. I also ask all my fellow wingshooters, customers and students to put this event on your calendar for 2015. I know of no better way to tune up for bird season 2015 than by shooting multiple rounds of sporting clays in the woods and fields surrounding Black Duck Sporting Clays.
Finally, as bird seasons begin and you may realize you are in need of a new shooting vest, a pair of leather shooting gloves or larger pair of brush pants, please don't hesitate to call us and place your order. Our staff is always ready to help and serve you.
Best Wishes for a both a safe and enjoyable Autumn in the uplands and marshes of America 2015.

Many thanks to the Science Center of Philadelphia for hosting a panel on Life Sciences and Marketing. The Archer Group presented on interactive marketing and focussed the discussion around social media and the impact on life science organizations.
here is quite a bit of information on Life Sciences and their roles (or lack there of) in social media.

Budding entrepreneurs from St George's School in Blackpool enjoyed the trip of a lifetime this week as their prize for winning the 2011 Premier League Enterprise Challenge.
The five Year 10 students, representing Blackpool Football Club, came through a regional heat before beating 15 other teams in a rigorous selection process to win the third annual competition in November last year.
And their reward was a trip to London to have a question and answer session with Premier League Chief Executive Richard Scudamore and a visit to the House of Commons for a meeting with Business and Enterprise Minister Mark Prisk.
"It's been an out-of-this-world experience"
- Tiah Houghton
They also called in on PL Partner and supporter of the Premier League Enterprise Academies, Nike, to design their own trainers while they were able to take in the sights and sounds of the capital, including the London Eye, Oxford Street and a West End show.
"It's been an out-of-this-world experience," said St George's team leader Tiah Houghton. "We couldn't have done anything more."
All 18 clubs with a Premier League Enterprise Academy were invited to take part in the 2011 competition, which challenged the teams to come up with ideas to "enhance the supporter/matchday experience at Premier League matches".
The Blackpool team, consisting of Tiah, Lucy Cox, Tom Rowland, Bradley Webster and Jack Williams came up with the idea of an interactive smartphone app of the matchday programme.
And after producing a five-page business plan, financial forecasts and a short film to accompany their five-minute pitch to a panel of judges, they won the final at Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane.
"We will definitely get involved if anything like this comes up again and grasp that opportunity for what it gives the pupils"
- Tina Milner
As part of their prize they visited the Premier League offices and they were able to present their idea to Richard Scudamore, who in turn quizzed the team about their proposal as well as taking questions himself.
"The main thing I learnt from Richard is that nothing is an individual effort, you are always working as a team," said Bradley, who apart from the trip to Tottenham, had never been to London before.
Tiah added: "I was nervous about speaking to Richard before we went in, we were practising beforehand.
"It was quite nerve wracking but as soon as he came in we were totally at ease. It was a really nice atmosphere."
Tina Milner, the Business Enterprise Enrichment Co-ordinator of St George's School, said the students had learnt a great deal from their time at the Premier League.
"Richard was very kind giving his time and his advice, they have learnt a lot from it," she said. "He obviously appreciates his team and that's a good lesson for the kids, about working well with people and the importance of relationships.
She added: "The whole experience has been fantastic. On this kind of level, they will never get a better experience, it's been amazing.
"We will definitely get involved if anything like this comes up again and grasp that opportunity for what it gives the pupils."
The team then went to the House of Commons to meet with Mark Prisk, who gave the students a brief tour of the iconic building before taking their questions on the famous Terrace.
"I very much want to commend the clubs and the Premier League in what they are doing because very often they can reach parts of the younger generation that Government never can," he said.
"I very much want to commend the clubs and the Premier League in what they are doing"
- Mark Prisk
"The important thing about this is giving people a flavour of what being your own boss is about, what self-employment is about, about how you take a good idea and turn it into something that's a profitable venture.
"We need to make sure that whatever people's background, there's a chance for them to be able to get a flavour for this, get some excitement and some inspiration so that hopefully later on in their careers they will look back on this and draw on that experience to use to good purposes."
Alison Sadler, the Enterprise Academy Manager at Blackpool Football Club, said she has seen a real difference in the youngsters during the course of the Enterprise Challenge.
"I have seen them grow in confidence, definitely," she said. "They have learned responsibility and to be accountable for their actions. They did not want to let anyone down.
"They learned communication skills, confidence, the ability to work and research on their own and to overcome any issues they have had to face.
"All credit to them because they have done all the work. I was really proud of them at Tottenham to call them my team, they are excellent ambassadors for the club and the town and a real credit to the school."
The Enterprise Challenge, which was first run in 2009, has become an important milestone in the Premier League Creating Chances programme.
Over 65,000 young people have been involved in enterprise activities with the Premier League Enterprise Academies so far, with a 92% success rate for those completing the course.

Are there doctors on duty in the ER? - page 2
Non medically fragile adult woman in her mid forties with mother and grandmother in tow, c/o nausea and body aches x5 days. Previously diagnosed with "the flu or something" (actually viral gastroenteritis, according to the... Read More
2Apr 14, '12 by GitanoRN Guideunquestionably, ed crowding is one of the most visible problems hospital administrators face, and it's also a fairly expensive one. however, most hospitals have been hesitant to address it, in part because federal law requires doctors to treat anyone who turns up at the ed. consequently, a small fraction of people who visit ed each year account for a huge percentage of the costs in emergency care. with that said, this is true of healthcare in general and it's known colloquially as frequent fliers, these individuals visit ed repeatedly throughout the year; often because they're chronically ill, uninsured, alone, or a combination of all three.
1Apr 14, '12 by applewhiternThis is why I don't work ER. I have a way of being too blunt, and I don't like to handle the PITA ones. I took my one-year old granddaughter to the ER due to severe dehydration and diarrhea. This was our third visit to the ER in a week. The first ER said just give her some pedialyte (kinda hard when she is too sick to drink it.) The second one gave her a 250 cc saline bolus and sent us home. You all know how quickly a baby can dehydrate! She was very lethargic and not taking anything at all by mouth. Constant diarrhea. While we sat in the waiting room on our 3rd ER visit, a woman about 50ish was talking, laughing and having a good time with the 2 women who came with her. When they called us back, this woman became livid and claimed her pain was a "12." Another woman with a little child with her started World War Three, just because we were called back first. The nurse's time was completely taken up, with trying to calm everyone down. I just don't want to deal with that kind of drama.
3Apr 14, '12 by JDougRN, BSN, LPN, RNI ended up being in charge last night, with 2 floats and a FULL ED, as well as my nursing student. SIGH. After 2300, my triage nurse was going home, so I got to do that as well. At 2305, I went out to the WR, introduced myself, and apologized to everyone. I then went on to explain that every bed, as well as hallway space was filled, and that the ambulances were coming in frequently. I explained how we had to treat the sickest people first, and that they were WELCOME to stay and be treated, but that they were probably looking at a few hours wait time. Amazingly when they heard that, more than half decided that they weren't "That sick" and LWBS> Amazing- they are CURED!!! People make me crazy.
3I don't work in the ER, but this reminds me of a patient on the floor (a 21 yo admitted with a migraine) whose mother complained about everything. She went so far as to complain that her daughter wasn't the first one seen on rounds because she assumed that "they'd start with the sickest patient." Um yeah... they did... the sickest patient would be the child with Marfan syndrome s/p CVA on a heparin drip whose room is directly across from the nurses' station. The fact that your kid is in the room furthest away should give you a clue about how "sick" she is.
The problem is everyone thinks their problem should be the everyone's priority. The first time I ever got fired from taking care of a patient was because I took too long to bring the mother more water for his G-tube (which she could have helped herself to from the kitchen) because I was busy dealing with my other patient... a vomiting baby with a venous bicarb of 9 getting continuous and bolus bicarb infusions needing levels checked something like q 2hr. I once got yelled at by a father for explaining how radiologists prioritize MRIs... his child needed one but it wasn't going to impact his treatment in the least and he felt the need to tell me that he didn't care if another child had been admitted with newly diagnosed cancer overnight and needed a stat MRI to begin treatment, his son's should come first.
6Apr 14, '12 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorQuote from shoegalRNIn my many years in the nursing profession and my many years spent in critical care/emergency medicine.....I have witnessed one family member cold cock the whining family and I had an all out brawl in the waiting room when the family of the coding child overheard the complaints and snide remarks of the waiting family.I hate it when we are coding someone, or have a trauma going on that has taken a turn for the worse, and all the other pts SEE the doctors and nurses running towards a certain room and this is the time they want to ACT OUT!
And granted, they have been waiting patiently for the last 4+ hours without any complaint, but the moment the attention is not on them, they want to loudly complain about the wait.
I had a pt come in because her toenail was about to fall off, not her toe being broken, or her foot being broken, her freaking toenail was ABOUT to fall off and we were coding someone at the time. When I finally got to her room, I apologized for the delay, explained that I was tied up with a very deathly ill patient and the doctor will be in shortly. Her 20 something daughter had the nerves to say "there is not any other doctors in the ER? Everybody HAS to work on that one person". I looked at her in the eye and said "yes, that patient is actively dying right now. Their family is outside the room and is not doing well right now, your mother is here for a broken toenail, God forbid if your mother was deathly ill, you would WANT all of us to work on her and save her, right? And how would you feel if another family would be questioning our decision because they had to wait to be seen for a broken toenail, but yet, still breathing, walking and talking? You wouldn't like that now, would you?"
She then tried to attempt to argue why her mother was more critical than the dying patient. I told her I'm not gonna argue with her and politely had security escort her out the hospital.
I am waiting for the day that a family member of a trauma/coding pt hears another patient complaining about the wait and then says something like "it takes everybody to work on that one patient" and that family member punches them.
It's really hard to put a stop to the behind wiping that was occurring to the whining jerks......Sigh, but I had to...
I have found that in this present instant gratification society....instant text messages, instant e-mails, instant access to news/events. That people get really annoyed if they can't find you immediately. They want instant cures, instant treatment, instant satisfaction. There was something to the meaning good tings come to those who wait.... but no one wants to wait anymore. Everyone is wound up in their own little world......at the end of their hands (in more ways than one...) Sorry I regressed.........that they have lost the ability of compassion, the art of empathy, the class of tact, and the humanity of manners.
I have truly lost patience, right to the face of the offender, but a few times in my career because I usually don't deem them worthy of my time and energy. One Time was this crazy family that came into the trauma room while we were coding a young girl from cheering the football game from anaphylaxis and wanted to know if any one was going to get them something to drink and did we know THEY were waiting for 20 mins. I turned and in one fell swoop removed this jerk from the room, pointed him to the water fountain and told him I'd have him removed from the premises by the police if he dared enter that room again or opened his mouth just one more time. I think he knew I meant business because he shut up and sat down.
In the ED you deal with the general public and it has it downsides. I always consider the source and that they aren't worth the words spoken from my mouth.
7Esme... I was just talking to a friend about the whole "instant gratification" culture that exists in this day and age. I think it's a lot of what's wrong with the world... people don't know how to wait because they don't have to. Think about even something simple like wanting to get a song... a kid today will just take out his iPhone and download it in about 5 seconds. In my day, if you wanted a song, you found a blank cassette tape, put it in your stereo and you waited. And when that song finally came on the radio, you were ready to push the record button. And there was gratification in your hard work.
8Apr 14, '12 by sharpeimom Guideseveral years ago, about an hour before we expected four other couples for dinner, i was cutting veggies and the knife slipped and cut the space between my thumb and index finger. despite having applied both pressure and ice, it absolutely would not stop bleeding or even slow down much. so right before our friends were due, i walked to the hospital which was right around the corner.
it was a zoo! i checked in, they gave me a fresh icebag and i went to the waiting room. almost immediately, some irate middle-aged woman demanded to know just why the triage nurse had "treated me like a real human being" while she had been so "hostile" with her.
she had a severe stomach pain after all... uh... because i didn't swear at her, maybe? the woman had been right ahead of me.
another ambulance rolled in with a dying elderly woman and, after the initial exam, her family was escorted back. the waiting room
people were outraged and i tried to explain why she had gone ahead of us and why her family was rushed back. the mother of a fussy
toddler said she thought all kids should be seen first no matter what was wrong. sorry, but it doesn't work that way.
another ambulance with an unconscious tiny baby they were working on. one woman was upset because i got myself more ice and another icebag. i was waved back to the ice machine when they saw me coming that direction. i explained again about the sickest
being seen first. one man was just sure i was bleeding to death and another that i would surely infect them all with aids. shouldn't she be put somewhere safer?
i had been told that i would be next when a mom arrived with a screaming shrieking toddler. when they came to get me, i suggested
that they take them next. soon, it was my turn, and after an exam, cleaning up, and some steri strips, i was on my way home.
yikes! er nursing should come with combat pay!
5Apr 14, '12 by JustBeachyNurse, LPNA few years back I was working as an ER tech. It was a tough night, lobby full, ER full, pts in hallways and to make matters worse we has three codes running--one patient was a toddler. I was literally running in the hallway back from the pharmacy with a drug needed for the pedi code a woman got in my path. I stepped around her and said I'd return in a minute as NO question was more important that trying to save the life of an actively dying innocent baby. (I was asked to run to pick op the meds as I wasn't assigned to the rescus rooms but the main ER and all the docs were handling the codes.) I finished my task and since I wasn't needed went back.
The woman who was now sarcastically tapping her foot with a scowl on her face. She wasn't a patient or even the relative of a patient. Her friend was there for a chronic back pain that for whatever reason was declared an emergency. The patient was waiting patiently as he had enough common sense when he saw staff running and heard "code blue" called 3x in a half hour. He didn't even rate his pain highere than a 5
Now normal human beings have sme compassion t hey may not care too much when it is a 95yo crashing but if told a child is critical they usually step aside realizing tht their crisis is not on the same level as that of the child and family.
Not this chick. She wanted a doc to come see the patient right away. She had some not s nice things to say about me and the dying child. She was a large, intimidating woman and I am guessing most people just give in to her. No logic worked (she had gotten so loud that security was approaching) I just looked for her and simply smiled and said "I'm sorry your feel that way and walked off to do my job. ".
When it was determined that she wasn't even a relative and thus has no legitimate business on the property. She was escorted out with local PD on scene if she decided to try and re-enter.
Latero the guard came up to me (and after wrote a really nice complimentary letter to my DoN) and said he was impressed how well I kept my cool and professionalism. He said when she started to raise her hand as I turned around (I didnt see that) he was ready to knock her out on my and the patient's behalfLast edit by JustBeachyNurse on Apr 14, '12
2Apr 14, '12 by woohQuote from KelRN215We had a woman on the floor screaming that we should get the surgeon to SCRUB OUT OF SURGERY to come see her kid for whatever non-emergent issue she had decided he now had.I once got yelled at by a father for explaining how radiologists prioritize MRIs... his child needed one but it wasn't going to impact his treatment in the least and he felt the need to tell me that he didn't care if another child had been admitted with newly diagnosed cancer overnight and needed a stat MRI to begin treatment, his son's should come first.
People are just selfish. This is one of the many reasons I don't work ED. I have a hard enough time keeping my mouth shut when parents are whining that they haven't been discharged yet or that we aren't getting them 24 hour in home nursing care just because their kid has a G-tube. I want to take them to one of our PICUs and say, "Your kid could be this bad off, be thankful and shut the [bad word] up."
Unless I'm in charge, I've only got my little group to deal with. If I ever got stuck in triage, I'd be initiating, "Smack family member upside the head" long before I initiated any labwork or IVs or boluses, etc...

SPRING HILL, Tenn. (AP) -- The University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture is holding boot camps to help people who sell farm products at farmers markets be more effective.
The seminars are aimed at helping vendors better understand how to market their produce and how to address certain business issues. The curriculum is a collaboration of the UT Center for Profitable Agriculture and the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. The Center for Profitable Agriculture is a joint effort of UT Extension and the Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation.
There will be six of the daylong camps in February and March with events in Bolivar, Dresden, Cookeville, Spring Hill, Knoxville and Kingsport.

In our devotion to ensuring your Christmas runs smoother than a baby's derriere, the girls at Austique have spent the whole year coming up with innovative Christmas present ideas that will earn you more brownie points than you'll know what to do with.
We have thought long and hard about our own experiences of giving and receiving presents, spoken to hundreds of our customers about their experiences and believe that we're now pretty switched on when if comes to providing crowd pleasing presents.
Whilst jewels and lingerie never go amiss, what we've found really hits the spot is the personal touch of bespoke gifts. Every girl loves to know that her man has invested time and effort in her presents, rather than sending out his PA, last minute to find something generically Christmasey. As such we have come up with our range of bespoke gifts, to ensure that your lady, whoever she may be,will feel very special this Christmas.
The Austique Bespoke Collection ranges in price from the cute Leather Star Key Ring at £20 to the fabulous Diamond Initial Pendant at £850, with many items in between. I've picked out a few of my favourites below to help you choose the perfect gifts this year:
The Desktop Diary is a great present for anyone from your girlfriend to her mother. Made from beautiful snake-skin effect paper and coming in three great colours they will bring elegance and order to the New Year.
As our tribute to Carrie and the girls from SATC we created the Austique Solid Gold Name Necklace last summer and ever since, they have been our most popular piece of jewellery! Now available in two sizes, silver and 9K solid gold there are even more options to choose from.
Being an old romantic at heart, this next necklace is my personal fave as it has so many romantic possibilities; the engraved disk necklace is an entirely blank canvas for you to do with what you will!
Some people have initials engraved on it; some people have had their children's names engraved around the edge; but my favourite is the romantic message. What could be more romantic than a necklace that says on one side 'the best thing about me is…' to be turned over to reveal '… is you'. Of course… I've kind of ruined that idea now, but anything goes.
I'm secretly coming over all Cilla Black and hoping that someone may use it for a marriage proposal. If they do, I want an invite to the wedding!!
All our bespoke items are very flexible and take roughly two weeks once ordered. If you'd like to discuss the many options, please email email@example.com or call us on 0207 376 3663.

I usually feel great the day after a cheat meal and I usually do not have any symptoms of bloating, suRe I will gain like 1-2 lbs but then I'm back down to normal the next day or two. But this cheat meal I ate was different, I had a greasy bacon cheeseburger and some ice cream and cake and blew up 6 pounds! WTF? And I feel bloated all day today and my abs are almost completely gone, what is going on? I've drank 2 gallons of water today to help with any sodium but I still feel bloated big time, is it because of the high amount of fats in the burger? (went to chilis and got the smokehouse bacon burger, 138 grams of fat. 49 of which are saturated)
