I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, on a few acres about 30 miles outside of Seattle. I am married and have 4 kids (2 girls, 2 boys). My oldest daughter got married several years ago, so I have recently added a fantastic son-in-law to our family tree. I am not a grammy yet, but hope to be soon (fingers crossed!). We have horses, bunnies, and dogs as pets. But we often add to our barnyard brood from time to time, so it's always a continuing saga. I worked in the human resources field for over 20 years, primarily in the health-care industry (which I recruited medical faculty for a public health program at a major university, and then later I recruited nurses and other clinicians for home-health care placement). I now work part-time for the juvenile justice division of my local superior court system, which we determine consequences for first-time youth offenders. Now that I have some spare time on my hands, I've discovered that most of my recipes are terribly outdated. So I visit cooking-related websites for cooking inspiration and ideas for new and interesting recipes. I also enjoy sewing, crocheting, quilting, reading, gardening, and spending time with my wonderful husband. I also enjoy traveling and discovering new wines, coffees and teas. In my leisure time, I enjoy shopping with my two girls and playing video games with my two boys. MY HOSTING ACTIVITIES . . . .... I first joined the dedicated and hard-working team of Pick-A-Chef hosts in Spring 2009. It's a wonderful event that so many chefs look forward to each year, and I am honored to be among the hard-working team of PAC Hosts. I hope you join us, because t's a lot of fun and it's a great way for new chefs to feature their recipes and build their recipe reviews. If you're interested in joining a fun event like PAC, you can find us in the Contests & Events forum - http://www.food.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=12 I'm still new as a Zaar World Tour host, and I'm loving every moment. The ZWT is an cooking event where members tour the culinary world from their own kitchens, discovering new cuisines and new recipes each trip...with prizes to the top teams. It's an event I always looked forward to each year, and it's even more exciting to be a part of the dedicated team who plans and hosts this fun event each year. I hope you have your bags packed and plan to jet off to unknown parts of the world when we next depart! You'll find us in the Contest & Events forum - http://www.food.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=12 I co-host the Spain & Portugal forum with Laloula. I've discovered new things about Spanish cuisine, and enjoy the friends I've met in the forum threads. We not only do our best to answer questions about Spanish and Portuguese cuisine and culture, but each month we feature a different ingredient that figures prominently in Spanish cuisine. I hope you take time to join one of our discussions. http://www.food.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=65 I am very excited to co-host for ToGo/Camping/Picnic/Potluck Forum with KimmieCat. I am looking forward to joining in the fun and hope my contributions are positive. Follow me to that forum....http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=45I have the privilege of hosting the New Kids On The Block tag game (in the Cooking Games with Friends forum), where players have an opportunity to offer chefs the very first reviews of their newest recipes that have been posted within the last month. It's a lot of fun, and I hope you join the game soon, or another one of the many tag games in the forum. http://www.food.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=72. I have so much fun with the various cooking contests, tag games and other events sponsored by the Community Forums on this site. I've met so many wonderful people, and I'm proud to call many of them my friend. Here are just some of the events I've enjoyed over the years.... PICK-A-CHEF (PAC) . . . ZAAR WORLD TOUR (ZWT) . . . THE MANY ONGOING TAG GAMES . . . COOKING CONTESTS AND SPECIAL EVENTS AND THE SWAPS I HAVE ENJOYED
Steak and seafood are my favorite comfort foods. As for specific cuisines, I would have to list Chinese, Mexican, and Italian as my all-time favorites. And thanks to ZWT, I have discovered many new world cuisines too, in particular Caribbean cuisine is a new favorite with Moroccan as a very close contender. I also love dishes that are packed with garlic, lemon or basil. And raspberries...anything with raspberries, lots of raspberries! I love raspberries!
I really enjoy baking too, especially desserts. I don't really have a specialty or favorite dessert that sets me apart from other home cooks. In fact, they're all my favorites! But for special occasions, I like preparing Cherries Jubilee or a fancy cheesecake to top off a special meal. When we have dinner out, I really enjoy Creme Brulee for dessert. If the restaurant doesn't offer creme brulee on the menu, I usually pass on dessert.

It really is freaky to me, how much he resembles James Dean.
It really is freaky to me, how much he resembles James Dean.
I don't know about you guys, but he looks really stupid posing with guns. Although... I'd rather have him pose with guns then not at all
he shoulda kept the guns, but took off his shirt and showed us his own guns too!
shirtless Franco takes me over the edge!
" How's the pie? So good... "
^ I Know, Its just Strange
James Franco is definately on my top ten list of the best things that have happened to planet earth.
<= Him too!
James is one of my faves-^_^
"LIKE is a SPIT, LOVE is a SWALLOW!"
Cute, pretty and sexy. He has the HOT trifecta. He can be boyishly cute, classically handsome/pretty and downright manly sexy. Very few guys can be all three (James Marsden is another one).
Sigh. I'm drowning in those eyes and cute smile...
I second that Nik!
James Franco is hot, but badass? He looks like a pretty boy holding a gun and smoking a cigarette Especially the third picture.
Sorry the fucking cigarette ruined it for me. Who wants to fuck an ash tray
he could go out with me but no cigs.
loved the photo session, James is an amazing actor and I think he is very cute.
Who would want to be the next James Dean? He died in his twenties didn't he?
He looks HOT!
He has like this "new" sexy thing going on.. I totally love it. Very "baldwin" in these pics..
Anyone know where to find his barefoot pics? I think a thing for feet and I have always wanted to see his and Chris Evan's.
I was hoping someone would say this before me, but I guess I'm the one who's gonna have to.
James Franco is NOT James Dean. He is not the 'new' James Dean...he's NOT James Dean. Just because Franco played Dean in a TV movie, shares the same first name, and kinda sorta but not really looks like him does not make him James Dean. It sickens me that people would think so. Cmon, seriously, would James Dean ever do the Spiderman movies?
James Franco is James Franco.
and James Dean is James Dean.
They have only superficial similarities.
Doesn't anyone here agree with me?!
James Franco is amazing. Tall, dark, handsome, plus he has AMAZING nipples! If you haven't seen Tristan and Isolde, you better! He is so hot.. please post pictures of this godly celebrity!
He's the triple threat: classically handsome, boyishly cute, and sexy/hot. A lot of guys can be one or two of those, but only a handful of them can be all three. (I can only think of James Marsden as another right off the top of my head).
he totally is. ever since i saw spiderman ive been like, who the hell is THAT guy!
lol ^.^
i love Tristan And Isolde, one of my fav movies, and yes James Franco is one of the sexiest men on earth
I love his look and vibe. I didn't catch "Spider-Man 3" after the lukewarm to terrible reviews, but one I was reading the other day of the DVD release mentioned "James Franco has improved so much as an actor in the years since the first film, you can't help but distractedly wonder what he might be like in the lead role instead of Tobey Maguire" and said he brought rich character shading and a nuanced performance to his role. Sounds like a winning combination; hot and talented. Anyone here also impressed with Franco's "Spider-Man 3" performance?
yes my bro got the dvd a few days ago.
i am definitely impressed =]
I liked his role in Spidy 3, and I think he must have gotten pointers from ole dad (William Dafoe, his dad in the films).
Anyone notice Dafoe in the audience at the nightclub when the black Spidey is being bad? The film may have gotten bad reviews, but if you are a comic fan the various scenes and nods to the original comics are brilliant.
Oh god he's SOOO MUCH HOTTER than the overrated Tobey Maguire!
definitely! post pics!
Hottest thread ever with no pictures whatsoever.
A few pics. Please add your own best finds or faves.
Probably one of the hottest celebs in my opinion. amazing.
that black and white mens health cover of him is pretty much amazing
Pluheaseeeeee you queens here are so easily impressed.
Check out my gallery for nice pics of James Franco. I was in love with him for the longest time....He is a really beautiful man, plus he is also a great actor.
I wish you were here......In my arms.
Does anyone know where I can find pics of his feet?
i am obsessed with james franco!!!
he made me cry in James Dean!
Somewhere out there, is another lonely heart. One day we will both meet, then our lives will be complete...
See I've been a big fan of his for awhile now and have always thought he was gorgeous! Esp in Tristan and Isolde! But for some reason I didnt think he looked his best in Spiderman 3... something about how ashy and washed out he looked and his teeth seemed different to me. Hopefully he was just having a rough couple months while shooting! I haven't seen him since but Im sure he's gotta be looking better!
back to james.. his body is amaaaaazinggg.
up close and personal...
he is so perfecttt.
he was the best on freaks and geeks.
I love his look - and he has a kiddish grin - love it!
What does an ass got to do to survive in a world full of dicks?

my heart can't take this cowan innings
my heart can't take this cowan innings
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
Hey guys. How was Chandimal's second innings knock?
This is deadset one of the strangest fields I've ever seen.
+ time's fickle card game ~ with you and i +
forever 63*
It's always weird though when they treat a batsman as undismissable just because he's a recognised batsman. For e.g. Chandimal admirable as he is in terms of SL's future and what he did a year ago, wasn't considered as good enough to play in the first two tests.

Was also talking in general. There have been countless times when this has happened. A classic example was when McGrath 'nursed' Hussey to his ton against SA. Hussey was dropped on 28 by Kallis just after the #11 had arrived at the wicket and yet SA treated him as if he was undismissable and basically totally spread the field for him. They didn't change tactics either.
Dilshan wants to review when Clarke dances down the pitch?
Such a poor judge of an appeal.
Reckon if Australia are still 2 out with 5 runs to get one of these should retire out.

Hedges are excellent features which can provide additional privacy, a great habitat for birds or other wildlife and a tidy border for your garden. Most hedges are not especially high maintenance, but do require a trim every now and then to prevent them losing their shape or casting unwanted shade.

A single brick chimney, standing sentinel in the scrub, is now the only one remaining of the 21 chimneys which once represented the Peak Downs Copper Mines Unlimited. The mine was the first to be worked commercially outside South Australia and also the first rich mine in Queensland.
In 1862, a 10 feet high wall of solid copper ore was discovered at Copperfield. Queensland's first copper mine opened and continued until the 1880's when the best quality ore was mined out. The site of Copperfield township, six kilometres south of Clermont and Peak Downs Copper Mine is testimony to the changing fortunes of the mining history.
... moreThe last of 21 chimney stacks still stands. The bricks were made in Clermont by Welsh Tradesmen. The glossy finish was achieved by powdering glass and sprinkling on the surface. North Copperfield was located on the northern side of the chimney and South Copperfield was about one kilometre down from the chimney on the left side of Rubyvale Road. Copperfield Cemetery is a little further down Rubyvale Road on the right hand side.
Visit Clermont Historical Centre for more information and memorabilia about Copperfield.

Your nightmare realized. Hey there, OMR.
-----------------------------------------Testing, testing....123. This thing still work?
Oh, so now the hallucinations are typing at me?!
Good to see you back, GIM. Inside or outside, hope you're sticking around for a while. After all, we now have exploding sausages...
...and seriously, who can resist an exploding sausage??
EDIT: Lapped by Gpops...The definition of tempo run by Higdon and Hanson may be different due to the length of the run. I don't know Hanson's well enough, but if it's a longer run, the pace may be slower for that reason. (Daniels has pace adjustments for tempo runs of about 40 minutes or longer.)
It's like I've been transported back in time.... what you cool cats, glad you stopped in to say Hi.
262 - hammy all healed up and running I presume
NACN - you keeping Chicago under control?
GIM - what up you sweet thang, notice how you show up and then the boys fall in line
Omar - Kapellas = Zab. Now quite sniffing the paint thinner
Runbo - Love my lab but she is no runner. The 9 the other day included w/u and c/d in the average so there were several miles at MP. This will become more of a staple as the plan gets underway so I've been trying to get ready for it.
Gpops - the Hanson MP miles are usually part of a longer run, maybe that's the difference???
Hey all
7.3 this morning at 8:10, we had nice cooler weather as well although its still hot now.
"But the from way I see it, you can either run from it, or... learn from it." - Rafiki
Ha, missed Omars Hanson comment before, at least great minds think alike.... and so do we.
Aw Nick, I do love the boys of 3:20, warms my cockles to see your sweet self among them. Even though we're all mostly hooked up on FB, something about this being home.
NACN ~ Nice to see you drop by. I see you post now and then in 3:10. Glad you are coming along.
Ghetto ~ Higdon says tempo is near 10K, which is probably fair for his audience. JD says 1 hour race pace, so a touch faster than 15K.
5:31ish. Had hoped to break 5:30, but am quite pleased for first attempt. Went out a bit too slow trying to make sure I didn't go outtoo fast. Closed nicely over 600m. 2nd in heat, which was supposed to be 5:20 - 5:40.
So let's review. Spent years working azz off on marathon and my best age grades to 71%. First time out the gate mile w/ no specific work and not particularly well rested age grades to 76%.
A 16 y/o XC Runner stuck in a 51 y/o body.
Home it is, lots of good friendships built here. Hopefully many more will be as well.
Got to figure out a reason to get me and missus up to Philly!
6.2 @ 8:38 this evening. Man it was hot.
GIM! Whoohoo!
With bonus 262 and NACN. The older we get, the faster we were.
Upcoming: Staying local, Kaiser half, Oakland full, San Francisco full.
GIM sighting! I told you (on FB) that people here missed you. Everyone else suddenly piles on! Fun to see all the names I lurked with here making cameos.
Dad - Nice mile work.
nick - glad you beat the heat
omar - no cats. Been there, done that.
gpops - it looks like it'll be the Aussie
demo - nice view but I'm sure it gets old
I got 12 miles* of recovery in today. Hopefully not too much as I want to do a pretty serious long run tomorrow. I'm already at 40 miles, so this week's shaping up to be a doozy. Felt the tiniest of twinges in my butt, so I did a myrtle routine when I got back. Man, that was hard.
*Edit: Hah! Nick, you're right. I actually ran 13km...
Jim! Hey, honey! Lol on "older we get, faster we were". sigh
Runbohem, you doll, you did tell me that, didn't you? It took me a while to act on it but thanks for saying it, that was sweet. Take care of the butt.
Nick, yessiree, grab the wifey and come visit. Philly Marathon again?
Dad, that's a most fabulous Age Grade! And without specific training or preparation? Double fabu!
Dad - congrats on that mile time! Smoking fast, and with the lack of specific training to boot
Jim - hey there youngster
Runbo - 12 seems kind of long for a recovery run but I'm sure you'll be fine, good luck with the LR
GIM - I'd like to do Philly again but it may be a couple of years, promised Shawn a west coast trip next year (CIM anyone?).
14 kind of sucky miles this morning. Nothing really major wrong just felt tired from the get-go. Gave blood Wed and then couple that with the fact that 60% of this weeks miles were yesterday and this morning and it's understandable. Ended up with 50.2 for the week.
Have a good one!
Dad: Great mile time! Wonder what would happen if you actually trained for one?!
runbo: Butt twinges...hmm. Hope the long run goes well after that 12.
GIM: So are you back to running full time now?
Nick: Sucky or not, 14 is 14. (I know...incredibly profound, isn't it?)
Hey to everyone...
Wrapped up my week with 11.6 @ 7:57 this morning. 55 for the week. (Gotta bank up those miles before Nick gets into his next cycle and starts whooping my a$$.)
I am, OMR, but in an extremely recreational way. As in, no Garmin or clock checking when I leave so I've no clue what my paces have been for months now, don't know how far each run will be till I'm in the midst, doing about 30+ a week but less is ok, and liberal with rest days (raining outside? immersed in designing? day off, no problem). My mission is to enjoy running without any judgement, expectation or self-criticism, all of which have apparently been the basis of my long-term running troubles. The girl, she is mental.
OMR - don't know. it's farther, but it's slower. I was walking ok after a couple of days. I feel mostly recovered at this point, just seem to lack that top gear at track. Haven't tried to race yet, though.
Speaking of racing, i'm signed up for a trail 15k tomorrow, but it's in Allentown and i'm just not going to be able to make that trip. Oh, well. It does mean I can run tonight without worry. 6 miles gives me 38 fro the week...
D4 - nice mile. i'm also higher graded the shorter the distance.
Sub 4:30 50k, still lazy
Yeah, me too. Maybe it's time to stop tilting at a particular windmill.
Ghetto ~ Since you are still pretty far out, I'd say 2x13 is better than 1x18.
PJ ~ Try some hill sprints to get that faster gear awake?
runbo ~ Myrtle routine is a healthy add.
14 today.
Ghetto, oh la back atcha! Good on you for listening to your body, there are enough times and places for "more, faster, more, faster..." but it's important to chillax, too.
Omar - where are you at for the year, this could get interesting.
Gpops - why not a 12 and then a 16. I think the MLR and LR combos are huge in marathon time reduction. hope you enjoyed the trip to DQ
Almost to the halfway point of the summer challenge. I'm about 100 miles in the hole
PJ- bummer on the missed race
GIM - I like the plan, sounds like you are executing it well at this point too
Nick - may your next 14 miles suck less
Omar - most of your miles seem fast at the moment. OMG...I did more miles than you this week.
GIM - Dunno about mental. But I remember shaking my head in disbelief reading your training schedule.
Gpops - You're running a mid-Sept race too?
Dad - nice 14
Big week for me. I just got back from a 20 miler, no part of which was easy. I felt heavyish from the start but just decided I'd slug it out. Took a couple of guus. It's downhill first third, along the river 2 third, back up hill last third. Final few miles in the sun and it got hot...ok, it got into the high 70's or 80. Thinking about it I wasn't surprised I was tired as it was a 60 mile week. My first ever.
Runbohem, congrats on the mileage PR, that's wonderful!
Gotta say about my training schedule you mention...I absolutely friggin' loved it. Running was the easiest it ever had been, huge fun, even in the sweltering summer months with that mileage load, no regrets at all. It was racing that did me in, achieving (for me) a great PR on my Half that fall but then the resulting pressure to accumulate more PRs afterwards. I'm sure my blogging was also part of it - always hyper-aware of what people "must be thinking". It's a lot easier to **** up in private.
GIM: "The girl, she is mental." HA! It sounds like you've struck a good balance with it all, which is awesome. Interesting comments on the pressure both from racing and from blogging about it all, not to mention worrying about what other people are thinking.
PJ: Yeah, I would think the top gear might be missing for a while.
Gpops: I agree with keeping two 13s (or, as Nick suggested, some other combination that doesn't include the 18). Overall accumulated mileage is more important than a single long run, especially if you're working on trying to stay healthy. Nice 14. Regarding your mileage dilemma, what if you rearranged your schedule a bit so that Friday is your rest day? Just a thought...if that's even possible.
Nick: As of today, I'm at 1702.1 for the year. I'm hoping to get back up to 60 this week and probably just hold it there for a month while I do these ridiculous track workouts. So, I probably won't hit 250 this month, and August will be light since I'm taking a 2-week break, so you'll probably be catching up pretty quickly. (I'll have to hit September-December pretty hard!)
runbo: Haha, I remember seeing GIMs training and thinking that, too. (At the time, I was running <50mpw.) Congrats on the 20-miler and hitting 60mpw for the first time! As for me, yesterday's 11.6 was probably faster than it should have been, but I bumped into/ran with a former student/colleague/friend for a while, so I turned off my HR alarm. After we parted ways, I just ran at whatever felt right for the day. The HR data, however, would argue that 7:57 was way too fast given the heat/humidity.
7.5M @ 8:29 for me this morning. Got a message from a friend this morning who is moving to Boston and invited DW and me to stay with her if I run it. Hmm...
half of track and field tested positive today.
I know about Gay and the 5 Jamaican's. Anyone else?
runbo ~ Congrats on the PR.
OMR ~ I'm about 8 miles behind you.
Nick ~ I'm not on track for a 1000 either (I think I'm at 422 for the summer, so far) Actually, being on the track is the main reason I'm not on track.
GIM ~ "The girl, she is mental." That's got to be an all-time classic in the self-deprecating genre. Or self- depreciating as I used to think it was.
5 this am w/ 8x hill sprints. Plan on going back out again this evening.
Wow, the usual suspects are resurfacing in 3:20!
Runbo, Australian shepherds are great dogs with a lot of endurance and great kids.
Nick, the bike will be for off seasons, like now.
Ran 14 miles today, with miles 4 and 12 on the trails,
Gpops: Going by pace on the faster stuff, but HR for easy/long runs. Yeah, if I ran Boston, it would be instead of Napa Valley. Nice week from you...enjoy the rest day.
Dad: I thought you'd have past me by now! Oh, but if you went out again this evening, then maybe you just did.
Heya, Dls! So nice to see that knee of yours isn't keeping you from much. yay!
Runbo - congrats on the PR week!
omar - you have a big lead on me, and I don't see me catching up. I'm at 1450ish now and don't see me hitting over 2800 or so for the year. Nov and Dec will both be light for me. Sounds like a good deal for Btown, don't pass it up!
Gops - nice week, hope you and the kiddos have fun
Doc - I would definitely go used then, and a lower end bike with the upper end components
GIM - hey girl, enjoy that free-wheeling, non-pressure running!
Dad - your reason for being behind is much better than mine
Slept in after a late night last night but managed a muggy afternoon run since golf got rained out after 9 holes. 7 @ 8:35
OMR ~ My weeks have been pretty light in volume (e.g. see below) lately, esp w/ racing. But I'm working on it!
Ghetto ~ They (the hill sprints) suck the life out of me!
Doc ~ The real "criminals' are Agile, ESG, and Zab (not necessarily in that order!)
PJ ~ You should keep your eyes out for this mile I just ran (MCRRC's Midsummer Night's Mile) next year; it was a fun event. Winner ran 4:19! (Also, I forgot to mention, DW also made her mile debut.)
My week:
M) 4.5 + 4 w/ 8 x hill sprints
Tu) 7.5 w/ 6 x 5' @ 6:35 (1' recovery) + 5
Th) Rest
F) 5 w/ mile @ 5:31
Sa) 14
Su) 5.25 w/ 8 x hill sprints + 5.75
Total: 55
Good night everyone.
Go Jordan. Get your "A" ticket to Moscow!
Ouch - 1 second off the "A" for Hasay. Makes it tough for Erdmann now.
W - 9 w/ 3 tempo + 5
T - 8 + strength circuit w/ 9 x 400m
S - 10 progression
Total - 69
Nick2 - Hammy healed though in trying to run through it I ripped by hip flexors and abductors to schit. I have lost my speed and endurance. I will put it this way, my last half marathon (May 6) could only do 1:36!! and my old MP is now about 5k pace. It is hard for me to go 13 to 15 miles. How I will do Chicago I really do not know. Sorry to whine......
Can you elaborate?
262... I had no idea you'd been battling all that crap. So sorry to hear.
GIM - You and me both - it blows to get old..... Now i better understand the parabolic loss of recovery ability as we age.
Like you I am still happy with the sport though under the realization life requires us to roll with change. 16 months ago I ran 10 miles in 59:59. 2 years ago Chicago in 3:10:12. October 13th, if healthy I hope to be able to run the entire distance.
But life is good and there is time to be had.
This, sir, is key. We've all got so many years ahead, the present is but a blip in the scheme of things. And yeah, age sucks (f**ing wrinkles) but things can improve from change as much as they can continue to go downhill. We just don't know till we get there.

Welcome to the most popular major ever -- Undecided!
Choosing a MajorChoosing a major is one of the most important, and sometimes difficult, decisions to make in college. Don't be worried if you do not have clear idea of a major during your first year on campus. On average, students will not choose their major right away, and may even change it midway through their college career. Your first year of college is a time of self-reflection and exploring courses to discover what topics interest you and the career options you can pursue after graduation.
If you are undecided, you should take advantage of the friendly and accessible AU staff who will offer advice to choosing your major. Talk to faculty from various disciplines to answer your questions. Ask the career services staff for information about potential career paths. Meet with your academic advisors in the Crouse Center to learn more about class requirements and major options.
Once you decide upon a major, you will need to file a "Declaration of Major" form with the Crouse Center.
Choosing a Minor
You are not required to have a minor, but you may want to enhance your resume with one or two. Schedule time to talk to your advisor and reference The Undergraduate Course Catalog for specific requirements of the minor you are interested in. You may declare a minor by completing a "Declaration of Minor" form available at the Crouse Center.

It really is a great book. One of my favorite name books to browse when I have free time. I suggest picking it up at the library first to see if it's the type of name book you want. It doesn't have a meanings in it.
Me too. One of the reasons I first picked it up was to find sibling names that would complement my favorites. I hope she continues the series too.

The event will take place Friday and Saturday at the Cleveland High School track rather than in downtown Cleveland, last year's location.
While she said "everybody loves the downtown," Angela Mathis, a senior community representative of the American Cancer Society, said the change will allow people to take part in the event together in one location rather than being separated by downtown buildings. Relay for Life was launched in Bradley County in 1993.
The annual Relay for Life event consists of activities that take place over the course of two days, from the opening ceremony at 7 p.m. on Friday until the 8 p.m. closing on Saturday. Luminaries can be obtained beginning at 5 p.m. and the first musical performance will start at 6:30 p.m.
While the event features a variety of activities, the main event is participants walking to raise money for cancer research and resources to help cancer patients. Mathis said the goal is to have at least one person walking at all times and that the event being at a high school track should make the walk easier than it was downtown.
"It got crowded, and we couldn't keep people walking all night," Mathis said.
Other activities at the event include live concerts and dance performances, a middle-of-the-night karaoke competition, a live auction and special walk laps such as one for cancer survivors.
Another illuminating activity is the luminary ceremony. Participants can purchase paper bag luminaries to decorate in memory of or in honor of friends or loved ones. All of them are lit at one time at 9 o'clock Friday night, and Mathis said they will line the edge of the track during the event at Cleveland High. She said the luminaries were limited to one spot by the Courthouse last year.
While the Relay For Life event focuses on the memories of those whose lives have been cut short by cancer, Mathis said it is also a time for celebrating the survivors and expressing hope in others being able to overcome their cancer battles as well.
"It's kind of like a festival feel," Mathis said.
The 20th year of the Relay For Life event will also be the first for a brand new event — a 5K (3.1 mile) run in addition to the walk. Mathis said people had expressed interest in having a running event in the spring or summer in addition to the Reindeer Run event in December, so organizers decided to add a run to the festivities.
The 5K will take place on Saturday at 8 a.m., and runners will begin with a lap around the track and continue onto the Cleveland/Bradley County Greenway before the run ends back at the track.
The majority of those who have committed to being involved with this year's events are on teams sponsored by local companies and other groups. Mathis said there are 50 teams taking part so far. However, she said anyone can feel free to stop by and be part of the events whether or not they have registered ahead of time.
Activities are planned throughout the day and night, with some of them even taking place between 1 and 5 a.m.
"I think it's important for people to come and support our survivors," Mathis said.
The event raised $253,000 last year, and Mathis said the goal is to raise that number by a couple thousand to hit the $255,000 mark. Last year's numbers gave Bradley County the distinction of being one of the top five Relay events in Tennessee by funds raised per capita, she added.

Comments about Wall-Mount Jewelry Mirror Armoire:
Purchased this Jewelry cabinet for my wife to get rid of floor standing jewelry armoire.
This new piece has hooks, hooks, and more hooks. Also has insert cushions for rings (hers and mine).
Only drawback is that the earring slots are not suitable for all pierced jewelry that aren't loop type.
Wife will need to part with some of her necklaces because I needed hooks too! And that's a good thing in my mind...

Job Training
Sala Baï, Cambodia
Though the hospitality industry is a driving force in Cambodia's economy, access to lucrative tourism-related jobs remains limited—especially for the country's younger generation. The Sala Baï hotel school, in Siem Reap, works to close the gap by annually selecting 100 underprivileged youths for a fully funded, 11-month program that trains students in front office, housekeeping, cooking, and restaurant service and culminates in four-month-long internships at partner hotels. To date, all 605 students, 65 percent of whom are female, have graduated and found jobs—proof that education and opportunity can change lives. salabai.com.
Architectural Restoration
Qianlong Garden, Beijing
For much of the 20th century the exquisite interiors of the two-acre Qianlong Garden, built between 1771 and 1776 and tucked within Beijing's legendary Forbidden City, lay hidden from view and slowly disintegrating. Today they are being saved, thanks to a unique 17-year-long restoration partnership between Beijing's Palace Museum and the World Monuments Fund. Employing experts and artisans skilled in highly specialized and increasingly rarefied crafts (lantern making; bamboo carving; silk embroidery), the project has already completed work on the 18th-century Juanqinzhai pavilion, and has plans to restore all of the garden's buildings and courtyards in the coming years. wmf.org.
Culinary Heritage
Southern Foodways Alliance, Oxford, Mississippi
An exuberant champion of Southern food culture—from its barbecue pit masters and bourbon distilleries to its butterscotch-pie breakfasts and deviled-eggs competitions—the Southern Foodways Alliance celebrates and records the region's diverse gastronomic landscape through documentary films, books, and not-for-the-calorie-shy field trips and events. The Alliance's food-trails program, which has mapped a Tamale Trail through the Mississippi Delta, a Barbecue Trail in the Southeast, and Boudin and Gumbo Trails across Louisiana, introduces travelers to the small-scale producers and off-the-beaten path restaurants that are the soul of Southern cuisine. southernfoodways.com.
Disaster Relief
Asia Transpacific Journeys, Boulder, Colorado
When Cyclone Nargis hit Burma in May 2008, killing an estimated 140,000 people and devastating the Irrawaddy Delta, the Asia Transpacific Foundation, the charitable arm of tour operator Asia Transpacific Journeys, was there to help survivors with access to purified drinking water via simple clay filters. The foundation's nimble response, which saved countless lives, was an outgrowth of its campaign to teach locals in northern Thailand and Burma how to make these filters, providing them with both clean water and a source of income. The foundation now operates four water-filter factories and has brought better hygiene and sanitation to some 450,000 people in Burma alone. asiatranspacific.com.
Wildlife Tourism
Northern Great Plains Restoration, United States
Though it may seem that our continent's largest grassland, the Northern Great Plains, has little in common with the Namibian desert, the areas are, in fact, intrinsically linked. In 2007, when the Nebraska-based Grassland Foundation was searching for a conservation model for the largely unprotected area in the States, it looked to Namibia's successes in harnessing ecotourism for wildlife preservation. The project began sending ranchers and conservationists alike to Africa on study tours: the first step in building a viable tourism infrastructure in the Great Plains. grasslandfoundation.org and www.worldwildlife.org.

Who Should Attend
Organizations have changed – there is now a mix of top-down authority and work where no single person is always "the boss." Between matrix organizations, flatter structures, contracting, and outsourcing, success often depends on gaining the cooperation of people and resources that you do not have direct authority over. Great leaders and managers find success through influence and negotiation. They focus first on gaining employees' respect and trust. They build up credibility through consistent action and leadership. They listen and provide support, thereby laying the groundwork for future support and influence.

Chevy Express/GMC Savana Accessories & Modifications
newsie23 Posts: 17I made my purchase, conditional on the 'new tracks' and seat belts. My thought, was to find bucket seats (haven't) so I could carry ?plywood? etc., between the rear (bucket) seats, as I didn't need passenger capacity, and like the seat in the rear (limo style) with the luggage, in between. I don't like trucks - my 03 AWD has only 48-km (30-mi) - its main purpose is to carry a snowmobile inside, and park on the street in a metro area (& carry #$%^ for my buddies). It is truly better than any pickup. Early on, there was an AWD 2500 cargo van, with limited 'extra' capacity rating. I assume, my dealer was concerned with any legal liability, if 'he' was enabling any overload, passenger capacity, for himself or GM. It truly is a stupid, one passenger vehicle!

jimmyz2001 Posts: 2">I have a 2001 Express LT van. We're waiting to tow a 7000k travel trailer with it. Book says it can 7600k with the right set-up. So what is the right set-up?
Here's what I'm guessing I would need:
* Electric trailer brake controler
* Weight distubution hitch
* Transmission cooler
What else do you all think I need to install? -
mikeintexas1 Posts: 1My son has a 2000 Chevy express van with 2 front bucket seats and has 2 children that require child seats. Is there a center console seat or jump seat available that would fit between the 2 bucket seats so he could install a child seat when needed? Or would a low back bucket seat also work?

apieri Posts: 1If you mean left and right passenger doors, then I can explain...van customization company's like "Explorer" order the express that way to build a custom conversion van. As far as finding a van that is not customized with those left and right side doors, I do not think you will find one. But, if your really want one, you would have to order factory direct.
If you are looking for a used van, I am selling my 2009 chevy express dark green in color. It seats 11 (I added a 3rd row). I am buying a 15 pax as my family has grown and I do not have enough room. -
perryandlori Posts: 2That would be a great idea (especially since everyone is carrying only whites. ugh) But, we have nine in our family, and we had a 15 pax for a while and LOVED it. We'll be going back to that (from a 9 pax suburban).
Thanks for the information, I guess I'll have to call a dealer. boo. -
nory5read Posts: 1http://www.cerullo.com/consoles/astroVan.html Has center console seats for the Astro and safari that slide back and forth like the bucket seat. It has a lap belt and storage area. we are looking into it for our 1998 Chevy astro van.

Does anyone know if the 2003+ interior parts and be installed in a 2002 or earlier without serious modifications?
Also, the factory drivers seat has no right side arm rest, what other seats can I replace it with?

Hi Ty, Just wanted to check in and let you know that Sierra is doing REALLY well. I am so happy with her and she is so much better behaved. It is nice to be able to sit on my front porch and have her out there with me enjoying things. She is great on trail and responds well. Overall I am so very pleased with the changes your help brought about in her behavior. Take good care and thanks again.
Ty with DogBehavionOnline.com, helped me so much with the entire doggy process. He helped me along every step of the way, beginning with the breed of dog, to finding a reputable breeder, then finally training our newest family member. Thanks to Ty we don't just have a dog, we have a great addition to our family.
Ty, I just wanted to say thanks for the training for Boo. He has just been awesome. He is so much calmer and we have been practicing the things on the list and he is doing great. I thought he was good on a leash when we went walking, but he is tons better now. I love it. I will definitely recommend you to anyone who is having pet issues. Thanks again! Sonya & Boo

In a press release issued today, Mississippi Department of Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps said he has reversed his decision to close four Community Work Centers across the state, including Rosedale's, on July 15.
"I never wanted to close these centers and only made the call after exhausting MDOC's options," Epps said in the press release. "I never stopped thinking about the impact on staff, the communities and the public in general. MDOC has always wanted to maintain a good relationship with local communities."
Epps had previously held firm to his April ruling, citing budget restraints and a lack of eligible inmates as reasons to close the facilities.
"Being a good steward of taxpayers' money while maintaining public safety is still my priority," Epps said. "We will keep the number of offenders at these centers at the best population we can."
Sen. Willie Simmons, one of the program's founders, spoke with Epps Monday afternoon and first learned of the reversal.
"This is huge news for Bolivar County and the state," said Simmons. "He indicated to me yesterday that he world rescind his order.
"He came to understand the hardship this decision would have at the local level and he was willing to keep it open."
Local representatives estimated closing the center in Rosedale would cost Bolivar County municipalities roughly $2.5 million annually to make up for the free labor performed by CWC inmates.
The center typically houses between 75-100 inmates, booked on lighter offenses, who work at county facilities and assist city public work departments by cutting grass, picking up trash, performing janitorial work and helping at local schools.
Bolivar County Board of Supervisors President Andrew Williams said the commissioner made the right move to keep the center open.
"This is great for the county and municipalities because we weren't going to be able to replace their labor — there's just not enough dollars in municipalities' budgets," Williams said.
"Leaders across the county are excited to continue the day-to-day operations of the program."
Cleveland Mayor Billy Nowell said he was braced for the worst knowing the approximate 15 daily workers the city received would no longer be available.
"This is a big deal for Cleveland. The pretty city we see every day was going to have a slight cutback," he said. "I'm proud of all the hard work our state senators and representative s did for us. This is another good day for Cleveland."
Cleveland-Bolivar County Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President Judson Thigpen said the workers play a big role in Octoberfest, Italian Festival and Crosstie.
"It's a big relief — we've been so dependent on the center for so long," said Thigpen. "We use them for some of our festivals, but it's amazing how much money they save the cities and municipalities.
"I appreciate (Epps) for taking time to think about it and that he rescinded his decision."
Sen. Simmons said it was a frustrating battle since Epps's original order, but the continued communication from local leaders played a big role.
"I have to applaud all the municipal leaders, Rep. Linda Coleman, Rep. Tommy Taylor and Sen. Buck Clarke for working hard to turn this around," he said. "It was not looking good, but their commitment made all the difference."
Simmons added that despite Epps's budget challenges, the reversal shows he's willing to work with the financial constraints felt at all levels across the state.
