Your Vision of the Future Part Eight
Jan 29th
"A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him or her." ~David Brinkley
Did you get a chance to read through my personal vision for this next year? If not, take a few minutes and read it over; you will find it as part of yesterday's entry. I want to point out a few of the special features of my vision statement for the coming year that you might consider incorporating into yours.
- Everything in my vision assumes that I have already been successful. I mentally want to be in the place where I expect to succeed. Sure, something could happen that prevents me from achieving one or more of my goals, but every day, as I read my vision, I am going to put myself in the mental frame of mind that I succeeded – that I found a way and made it happen.
- I talk in my vision about how it feels when I have made my goal into my reality. I talk about how great it feels to have achieved this. I am creating an anchor of feeling great that I am attaching to thinking about each of my goals and to taking action on each of my goals. More >
New Year's Resolutions Part Five
Jan 9th
"Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius." ~Pietro Aretino
Well hello. I am looking out at a beautiful winter scene as I write this entry. I spent much of my youth in Chicago and the winters there were often quite extreme. I can remember one Christmas break from college, I was working at Amtrak between college semesters, and we had a nice cold snap. For two weeks the temperature hovered near 50 below zero (Fahrenheit) and with wind chill – wow! It turned out to be a real blessing for me. Amtrak could not turn off the diesel locomotives, it was so cold that they could not be restarted, so I was paid overtime everyday to stay and tend things. For a college kid, this extra money was a great gift. I am still grateful more than 30 years later.
I was thinking about this time today when others around me were complaining about the weather. Winter doesn't bother me. I know it will end. I know it is a natural part of life and needed for all of the plants and animals that are native to this area to rest and rejuvenate. I also know that I cannot change it and I will not allow something that I cannot change or influence to have control of my moods. I was also thinking about how sweet spring will be after this cold winter. So, thanks winter!
I was also thinking that every rough patch in my life, and there were some very rough patches indeed, always had a gift for me – if I was smart enough to find it. Even looking back at the darkest times in my life, poor, getting divorced, living in the back of my car, fighting for custody of my daughter – there were gifts for me in that experience. Now I was not smart enough to see them, those gifts, at the time. It took years of growth and reflection before I could achieve that place. Today, when I find myself in a rough patch, I ask myself two questions: 1) What is great about this and 2) What could be great about this if I looked at it from the right perspective? And you know what? There always is a gift waiting for me!
Last time I had you put your 5 driving goals on the front of three by five index cards. Here's why. I want you to put the following questions on the back of the index cards:
- Why is this goal important to me? Above and beyond the goal itself, what will the accomplishment of this goal allow me to do or be or experience or feel?
- How great will it feel when this goal is accomplished?
- What do I need to change about myself to ensure that I accomplish this goal?
- What is the most important thing that I need to do today, to move myself along the path of achieving this goal?
- What else can I do to make it even more certain that I will achieve this goal?
- What can I do to make sure that I have fun, a blast, as I work to achieve this goal?
So, add these questions to the back of the cards. Do you have that done? Great! Now here is the critical part. Keep the cards with you and every single day, at least a couple of times per day, review your goals, all five of them, and then flip the card over and answer the questions. Within a short time you will feel the difference, you will begin to find the answers you need, make the changes required and you are very likely to achieve those goals! I know lots of more techniques, but I know of none easier and more certain at the same time.
And now a bit of fun and trivia: Some of you know that I am related to Robert Burns the Scottish Poet and that I have visited his hometown and gravesite in Scotland. Did you know that when you sing, on New Year's Eve, "Auld Lang Syne"you are singing one of Robert's most beloved creations? Since this is the last entry that will talk about New Year's Resolutions, at least for awhile, I thought it would be fun to give you the poem/song here (sing with gusto!):
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely you'll buy your pint cup!
And surely I'll buy mine!
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
and days of auld lang syne?
We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine;
But we've wandered many a weary foot,
since days of auld lang syne?
We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine;
But seas between us broad have roared,
since days of auld lang syne?
And there's a hand my trusty friend!
And give us a hand o' thine!
And we'll take a right good-will draught,
and days of auld lang syne?
Till next time…Jack
"Antisthenes says that in a certain faraway land the cold is so intense that words freeze as soon as they are uttered, and after some time then thaw and become audible, so that words spoken in winter go unheard until the next summer." ~Plutarch, Moralia
Becoming a Published Author
Jan 6th
"And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt." ~Sylvia Plath
Tonight I am continuing my mission of becoming a published author. I have found a local writing group that seems like a good fit and I am heading out right now to see what it is like. I will give you an update on what the group is like in my next entry (and why you might consider finding or joining a writing group).
Till next time…Jack
"Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very;" your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be." ~Mark Twain
Goals Part 3
Sep 15th
"Go for it now. The future is promised to no one." ~Wayne Dyer (born 1940) a popular American self-help advocate, author and lecturer. His 1976 book Your Erroneous Zones has sold over 30 million copies and is one of the best selling books of all time.
Books and more books! I love them! So, what does that personal admission have to do with goals and how you can achieve them more consistently and rapidly and have more fun along the way? Simple. I bought a bunch more great books, at least highly rated books, about goals and I am going to be giving you the best of these over the next few weeks as I absorb them.
Here is the exciting list of my newest purchases:
Get the Life You Want by Richard Bandler (I started here – Richard is a genius!)
The 29% Solution by Ivan Misner
The Magic Lamp by Keith Ellis
Goals! by Brian Tracy
Write it Down, Make it Happen by Henriette Klauser
Anatomy of an Illness by Norman Cousins (Goals with a medical twist)
I can't wait to incorporate the best of these into my knowledge base and share it with you! Come back soon!
Till next time…Jack
"To change one's life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly. No exceptions." ~William James (1842 – 1910) a pioneering American psychologist and philosopher trained as a medical doctor. He wrote influential books on the young science of psychology and mysticism, among others.
Goals Part 1
Sep 3rd
"There is nothing like a dream to create the future." ~Victor Hugo (1802 – 1885) a French poet, playwright, novelist, essayist, visual artist, statesman, human rights activist and perhaps the most influential exponent of the Romantic movement in France; perhaps best known for Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Do you like to dream? Have you been known as a dreamer? Have you ever been told to "stop daydreaming and get your head out of the clouds"? Wonderful! Great! Good for you! Those skills will serve you well and the process of goal creation is going to be easy for you.
If you are highly practical, if you like to always stay "down to earth", if big dreams seem wrong or grandiose or ridiculous to you, then you might find the process of goal creation, as I teach it, a bit of a stretch. Go ahead – stretch with me. You can always be practical tomorrow.
All, and I mean all, of my coaching around goal creation and goal achievement starts with dreaming. I start with dreaming because it works – when my clients and seminar attendees begin with dreaming, they achieve more, faster, and with more pleasure along the way. I also use dreaming as a critical beginning element of the process of goal setting because my teachers and mentors also believe in the power of dreams. Anthony Robbins, Jim Rohn, Lee Pulos, Brian Tracy – all of these great teachers and many more incorporate dreaming into their work.
I am not sure how long this series of articles will be yet. I have been doing some very ambitious goal setting of my own lately and this process has been much on my mind. I also just ordered 5 new books related to goals, books written since my last indepth study of the topic, and there may be some new ideas to discuss. So, this series will last as long as it needs to. I promise you this though, follow along and you will get to your dreams faster and have more fun along the way.

"I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by." ~Douglas Adams, 03/11/1952 – 05/11/2001 – English humorist & science fiction novelist
I found out today that one of my favorite authors was dead – not just dead, but dead for more than 7 years already. Wow. The quote above is from Douglas Adams – dead at 49 from a heart attack while working out at a private gym in Santa Barbara. I think he would have appreciated the irony in that statement. If you aren't familiar with his work and you like British humor, go buy some of his stuff. You will be in for a treat – I still smile when I think of the dolphins from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe series – "So long, and thanks for all the fish!"
I'm not sure why his death affected me so deeply tonight. I was thinking of the upcoming deadline for my first book, September 17th, 2008 to remind myself again, and I went searching for nice quotes about deadlines. I found this one from DNA, as he was known to many of his friends and attached to it was a date of death. Wowsers!
My entire idea for this blog entry changed and I started to think about deadlines in a different way. None of us knows the date of our personal life "deadline" but as my mother is known to say: "No one gets out alive, make the most of today." I think that is good advice and maybe I'll take it to heart.
Till next time…Jack
"A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all." ~Rita Mae Brown
More About Using "Dead Time" to Lead the Pack
Mar 24th
"The secret of joy in work is contained in one word – excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it." ~Pearl Buck
How many books did you read last year in your area of expertise? If you are a male reading this, odds are that you read between zero and one. If you are a woman reading this entry, odds are that you read between one and two books last year directly relating to your field of expertise. So what does this mean? (Other than the fact that women generally know more than men and I don't think that is any real revelation!)
It means you need to start to read! I don't remember the exact statistics anymore, but this will be very close: More >
Lead the Pack by Using "Dead Time"
Mar 10th
"Life is like a dog sled team. If you ain't the lead dog, the scenery never changes." ~Lewis Grizzard
How would it improve your business and your life if you were considered to be one of absolute "experts" in your field? Let me ask that another way: If you were a known and acknowledged expert in some field, what would be the positive results of achieving that status? I expect you can think of lots of great results. I know I have experienced lots of magic in my life, business and otherwise, from my expertise in coaching and consulting. So what would it be like to be a known and acknowledged expert? There are 3 components to my question and the results that are waiting for you.
1) Becoming and expert 2) being acknowledged as an expert by others 3) being "known" as an expert
Today I am going to talk about becoming that expert. More >

Is bigger better? Should giant cable conglomerates merge? If Comcast acquires Time Warner, the company will control two-thirds of the cable TV market, along with nearly 40% of broadband customers. Consumers Union has been opposed to the merger since it was first announced back in February, and over 50 organizations signed on to a letter to the FCC and Department of Justice urging the agencies to block the merger.

i got this for my 3 little girls who play with makeup (aged: 7,5 and 2). i didn't like the idea of their playing with Barbie products so off we went makeup shopping. they fell in love with this bright pink and i fell in love, too! the kids didn't have any bad reaction nor did it break me out. the color! oh! just gives you that healthy, flushed glow. it is easily spreadable so that you can work out a natural gradation on your cheeks (to mimic a soft blush). it works well as lip color and eye shadow also.
and the packaging is so pretty: ) i just realized this is one product that has stayed in my drawer and not in the kids'. love this multi-tasking product!
Gives me the perfect 'just in from the cold' look. Stays on reasonable amount of time for a cream blush. No break outs from it. Very intense in the pan, but on skin looks very natural and translucent. Finish is perfect, looks just like blushing skin and nothing more (which is why I prefer creams to powders). Texture is a bit hard and waxy, at least compare to some cream blushes I have, but don't have a problem with application. Goes on smoothly, easy to spread. Packaging is great, love that it's flip top, love the mirror, and flat tin makes for easy storage.
I got this because of good reviews on here and also because I've become sooo hooked on Stila convertible colors!!
The color of this blush is summed up pretty well by its name lol. A bright fuchsia. It looks scarily bright in the pan, but it blends out to such a beautiful flush on your cheeks. I love this for winter when my skin is a little more pale and the fuchsia stands out against my skin for that "it's so cold outside" cheek flush! I thought this might look odd on warm Asian skin(that I have), but surprisingly it actually looks quite good...
Love love love this product! I can't believe I never ever tried the convertible colors before. The fuschia is so gorgeous and so bright on the skin, a little goes a long way. The best thing about this product is the staying power. I have used a lot of cream blushes that have just melted off during the day but this truly stays on.

Fuchsia (it drives me crazy that stila misspells the name of the color!) is my favorite convertible color. It looks kind of scary in the pan, but it sheers out on the cheeks to a really youthful, healthy pink. I apply it with a finger then blend it with a 168. I would definitely repurchase, but I think that day is far off - a little goes a long way with this product.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Don't let the bright color fool you! This color is sheer but long lasting and would work on a wide variety of skin tones. It can be layered for a better color pop...or just the sweetest hint of color on the palest skin. Highly recommend!
Beautiful case. Beautiful bright color. Beautiful texture and application.
Loved and used for many months in spring, summer, fall and winter. Application is soft and smooth on most skins and this works well with most skin tones. Don't let the bright color fool you -- this is sheer on application but has great staying power. If you are getting married, use this to give you color, and then apply a light pink or coral blush on top and you will be wearing your face into the wee hours and even till the next day!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It's a glaringly bright pink in the pot but trust me...it's much prettier on. I got this as a gift and have been using it since. A little goes a long way. A few dabs on your fingers and several pats on your cheeks will leave a beautiful pink flush that will last all day. I have combination skin and it stayed on all day. I tried this on the lips and it was quite drying. I'd just stick to using this on your cheeks.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a great product as a blush, it's really creamy and smooth so it very easy to blend in. I used color peony though, and that is a mauve pink color. It looks dark but it's surprisingly bright but not over the top bright. I think I would definitely try out the colors available.
More reviews by PaleIsTheNewTan
Absolutely love this blush. It looks very bright in the pan, but translates into a very blue-toned, bright pink on the skin. (MAC Studio Fix PPF N3, Sculpt NW15, MUFE HD #110, Bobbi Brown Alabaster). As a blush, it works nicely for a doll-cheek look, but is quiet enough to be perfect for everyday. I've gotten a lot of compliments on this blush when wearing it.
As a lip product, it is surprisingly non-drying but works more as a stain than a full-on lipstick. If you're looking for a noticeable, loudmouth lip product, this CC is not it.
This product manages not to oxidize on the skin and change colours, though it does tend to fade by the end of the day. Surprisingly, I found the product worked best with a basic, medium sized blush brush (and blended better) than with the MAC #188. The product hasn't caused any breakouts or rash-like reactions on my slightly sensitive, dryness-prone skin. The texture of this though, unlike a lot of cream blushes, seems to be more of a thick gel-lotion hybrid, rather than a cream.
The packaging (which doesn't make or break the product, but deserves a mention) is adorable, and a very retro compact in the same colour as the blush.
A definite rebuy, though the product is so pigmented, I probably won't be buying replacements too, too often.

The pros and cons of annuities
Dear Dollar Diva, What are some of the pros and cons of annuities?
An annuity is a life insurance contract sold by insurance companies, brokers and other financial institutions. It is usually sold as a retirement investment and is paid for before retirement in exchange for lifetime payments after retirement. Before talking about pros and cons, let's look at what they're selling.
Types of annuities
There are two types of annuities available to investors:
Investment options
Variable Annuity The purchaser selects from a list of mutual funds and his payments are invested in the funds he picks; future payouts depend on the funds' performance over the years.
There are variations on these themes, such as variable annuities that invest in index funds, but they all boil down to income contracts or equity contracts.
When should an annuity be considered?
Only after you've contributed the maximum to your 401(k), SEP, Keogh, IRA and whatever other tax-deferred opportunities are available to you, should you consider an annuity.
What's good about an annuity?
Assuming you're buying it with after-tax dollars, here are some of the pros of investing in an annuity:
What's bad about an annuity?
When in doubt, stick with tax friendly mutual funds.

Bacolod City, Philippines-based artist, illustrator and graphic designer Daryl Feril has come up with a series of blooming branding concepts for major fashion designers and publications, which include Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Louis Vuitton, Dior and Yves Saint Laurent.
As he says on his Behance page, Ferril aims to set a feminine mood with each piece while still preserving the status and identity of the brands. Looking through his work, it seems he has accomplished this goal. The flowering motif gives the series a steady coherence while the particular drawings are cleverly specialized to the brand in question. For instance, Louis Vuitton is flowing and colorful while Prada is monochromatic and edgier.
The drawings were produced using graphite and watercolors and then scanned and exported to Photoshop for the final touches.

UO women host final nonleague game at Mac Court
Horrendous free-throw shooting (12-of-28) and a short bench combined to sink the Oregon women's basketball team in a 74-69 loss to UC Riverside before a crowd of 1,587 at McArthur Court on Tuesday.
You can check out the game story here.
The Ducks will be back in action on Friday when they play host to Denver University at 7 p.m. in the women's last nonleague game at Mac Court.
It will be Scout and Military Night. Scouts can wear their uniforms to the game to receive general admission for $2. Military members can show their ID cards for a $3 ticket.
Leftover news and notes …
Oregon set season lows across the board in the loss to UC Riverside, including points (69), field goals (25), free-throw percentage (42.9), rebounds (39) and steals (12).
UO junior forward Amanda Johnson hit a three-pointer with 6:50 remaining in the first half to record her 800th career point.
A 14-2 run gave UC Riverside a 16-6 lead over the Ducks with 12:04 left in the first half, the first time the Ducks have trailed by double digits since Nov. 22 at Portland.
The Ducks played without two key freshmen: Deanna Weaver and Ariel Thomas. Both were sidelined with what was described as "shin splints." They will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis.
Curtis Anderson covered UO track and field for The Register-Guard from 1990-96, and again since 2005. He covered the 2012 Olympic Games in London, in addition to the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials in New Orleans (1992), Atlanta (1996) and Hayward Field (2008 and 2012). He is the winner of the Jesse Abramson Award, presented by the Track & Field Writers of America for excellence in coverage in 2008.

A Preview of Mastery
A sneak peek at a modeling article coming next week |
Dust Tactics | Published 15 December 2010 |
Greetings, Dust Tactics fans!
Today we'd like to offer a teaser for an article that is scheduled to post next week. You might ask, why bother with posting a preview to an article? The reason is the moment we laid eyes on the photographs below, we were so excited that we had to share them with you immediately!
The article, by master modeler José Brito, is an exhaustive description of his personal method for detailing, painting and weathering the two Axis walkers found in the Dust Tactics core set. His results are spectacular, as you can plainly see. Please join us next week to read the step-by-step tutorial of his entire process, including a full set of photographs that reveal every one of his techniques!
Over and out!
Click on either image to enlarge
Dust Tactics is a tactical miniatures game of brutal combat for 2-4 players. Based on the popular universe created by artist Paolo Parente, Dust Tactics presents an alternate 1940s reality in which alien technology fuels gigantic machines of war, and the world's superpowers clash over rare mineral deposits that could ultimately decide the outcome of WWII.
Incredible, I hope this will be released as a downloadable PDF. Fantastic stuff.
Wow...that better than most studio paintjobs for miniatures games.
Cant wait to read the article now.
Ugh. Makes my miniature painting look like garbage. Great job!
oh my God! amazing!!!

Aromatherapy massage not only has powerful physical, emotional and mental effects but it is also described as a great relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
Deep Muscle Therapy can be added to session for $15
Deep muscle therapy is a sequence of deep massage strokes that specifically addresses the area of injury or stress. The main difference between Deep muscle therapy and other forms of massage is that it goes deeper and is more specific. This is accomplished by the use of heat to work into the muscles followed by cold to release the tension. The process can really break up pockets of toxins held in place by old scar tissue and spasm, from injuries, stress and fatigue.

I don't like the consistency of my own microwave efforts to "bake" a potato. However, the commercial potatoes, wrapped in some sort of plastic membrane, are acceptable to me. Does anyone know what membrane is used for the commercial micro potatoes? |
Follow-Up Postings:

Sorry, I can't answer your question. But I can tell you what I have found That works for me. When I 'nuke' potatoes, Not knowing what the consistency The commercial micro potatoes Rusty |
Rusty - do you poke holes in them before you nuke them?? I've never nuked a potato in the shrink wrap although I have bought them packaged that way (lack of better options). I don't trust that the potato was actually washed, and I don't trust plastic in the microwave. So I unwrap them and wash them and then cook them. I agree with you about the consistency of microwaved potatoes. I think of them more as steamed than baked. My favorite part of the potato is the skin. Maybe you could try a little bit of olive oil rubbed on the skin before cooking it in the microwave. I wonder if that would help crisp it a little? seagrass |

I have not used those, seemed gimmicky to me, but I will tell you that the Walmart brand plastic wrap that's called professional strength can be boiled in water without melting at all. So you could try that...btw it's the best plastic wrap EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link below: |
Here is a link that might be useful: great value premium wrap prof strength
For just me and hubby, I use the microwave for "baked" potatoes, too. I use a fork and stab the potato (forgot once, and part of one slightly exploded, making a mess), but I don't cover or wrap them. I nuke for about 4 minutes at 50% power, turn them over and repeat. Then I up the power to 60-70% and go 2-3 minutes at a time until they're done (rotating/flipping potatoes each time). The consistency seems a tad bit better (not overdone like sometimes happens for me when I use 100% power). |
- Posted by therustyone (My Page) on Tue, Apr 10, 12 at 1:24
Seagrass, usually there are places where I've cut off eyes Or other blemishes. And that is sufficient to eliminate Chances of them exploding. But on the rare occasion when the skins are intact, yes, I poke a couple of holes in them. I really do like potatoes baked in a 'real' oven best, Rusty |
I've used the same method as tracey b with good results. I think I go a little crazy with the hole poking because I'm paranoid about them exploding. |
I don't understand why or how the commercially wrapped potatoes that say do NOT poke holes escape explosions. However, I have never had a commercially wrapped potato, cooked unpierced as directed, explode. |
I've read all the replies and it seems no one does it like I do. I scrub and stab and put my potatoes in the microwave until almost finished. Then into the oven to crispy up the skin and finish cooking. Quicker but still tasty. |
I do what Barb does....but it's not very fuel efficient....but quick and good! Linda c |
The older I get, the more I think all I need is a combo microwave/convection/toaster oven and an induction countertop burner...an electric teakettle and an expresso machine. And a handyman. One who does what I want, works for pay and doesn't live with me LOL. seagrass |
- Posted by purpleinopp (My Page) on Wed, Apr 11, 12 at 18:01
As someone who's nuked a lot of potatoes, I've decided poking a lot of tiny holes AND wrapping in a paper towel (which gets damp from the potato being wet after washing) does make a difference, especially in avoiding spots that get "cooked hard again". It also helps if you flip them about halfway through (and spin them so the outside is now inside). I agree it's not worth turning on the oven for just spuds, and I try to choose them when I'm making other oven foods. But the nuker makes them a quick and economically reasonable option if not. The fork-soft test is good for testing done-ness since they're never the same size. |
My DH will not eat a nuked potato so I usually buy and bake enough for 2 or 3 meals and do "re-baked potatoes" with the left overs. They even freeze (pre-made) really well. |
I also have never had a microwaved "baked" potato that I really care for, I've cooked them in the microwave and used them for American Fries, but that's pretty much it. i've started them in the microwave and finished in the oven, but it's still not optimal. As a result I bake potatoes in the oven when I'm making something else that requires the oven, I never just bake potatoes in there. However, I put potatoes on the rack of my little 6 quart Nesco roaster and bake them there and they are perfect for me. My 750 watt electric roaster will use (according to my electrician husband) less than 10 cents to bake those potatoes for an hour. I can toss a meatloaf in there with them if I wish but I usually just bake 4 or 5 potatoes and then use the extras for home fries the next day or so. Anyway, my gas oven will costs several times that. Plus, in the summertime I can have baked potatoes and not heat up the kitchen and I can even put the Nesco on the back porch if I wish. it's a great little appliance and makes great baked potatoes. Put them on the rack, though, it crisps the bottoms better than sitting them directly into the roaster. Annie |

i also do exactly as Barb does..... nuke them so they cook faster......2 minutes on each side (turn the potato over) them put it in a hot oven to get a nice crispy skin..when i put them in the over...i first add some oil and salt to the skin, and cook them on a foil sheet |
- Posted by walnutcreek (My Page) on Fri, Apr 13, 12 at 12:30
I use a microwave paper towel and make sure I am using a Russet potato without punching holes in it (have never had one to explode in the microwave and I have been nuking them this way for years and years). Wash the potato really well, immediately wrap the still wet potato in the microwave paper towel, and put in the microwave at the highest setting, normally for 6 minutes. Once it is done, I cover it in the microwave with a thick potholder and let it sit for a short time, then remove from the micro and put pressure on the sides of the potato (still with the potholder on it), then do the same from the ends. Then fluffy with a fork - we eat the skins, too, and love the potatoes cooked like this. |

stew for Spring may seem counter-intuitive but this one is quick and easy to
prepare—to say nothing of how delicious it is. After starting with a quick sauté
of diced pancetta and shallots, I was quite
surprised at how quickly the pork cooked and how much juice it released as I
cooked it. It made this recipe a perfect
candidate for a weeknight. It's also
quite adaptable. You can go stop your
cooking once you've got the pan sauce to the right consistency. Or you can forge ahead and add the tiny bit
of cream that enriches the dish even further.

Dalton State College volleyball coach Bruna Langner has been a true Roadrunner recently, driving from Ooltewah, Tenn., to Kennesaw to sign players for the program's first team.
Langner said Ooltewah High School's Karly Newman, a 5-foot-9-inch outside hitter, is "going to help us a lot."
"I wanted to stay pretty close to home but far enough that I could get the college experience," Newman said. "I've known Bruna for a while, starting with when she was at Lee University and I attended camp up there."
Newman said she expects great things for the Roadrunners, who will begin competition during the 2013-14 school year.
"I'm really excited about the opportunity I have, and I believe we're going to have an amazing program," she said.
Newman is a member of the Beta Club and National Honor Society at Ooltewah and plans to major in secondary education.
Langner also signed Kennesaw's Ashleigh Taylor Hathaway, who will transfer from Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus.
Hathaway was captain of the North Cobb Christian volleyball team her junior and senior seasons. She sees Dalton as a "good fit."
"I want to live out my dream of playing college volleyball," she said. "I also love the small school environment and the North Georgia area."
Said Langner, "Taylor will be an important part of our team. I look forward to seeing her contributions to the team and her accomplishments in the classroom."
• NET GAIN, TOO: Dalton State tennis coaches Michel Bates and Zach Rogers are continuing to build their program as well, and now they have reached "down under" for another piece of the puzzle.
The Roadrunners have signed Adam Hornby, 17, of Christchurch, New Zealand. Hornby has competed in a number of International Tennis Federation tournaments, and Rogers said he is one of New Zea-land's top-ranked junior players.
"Adam has an explosive game that is going to turn a lot of heads and make an impact from day one," Rogers said. "He also excels academically and will be one of Dalton State's brightest stars both on the court and in the classroom."
Hornby was born in England. He has dual citizenship in New Zealand and Barbados. His brother currently plays at West Florida University in Pensacola. The brothers have a long-term goal of becoming members of the Davis Cup team for Barbados.
The new Roadrunner will be in Dalton this summer to train and help with lessons and summer camps at the Dalton Parks and Recreation Department's tennis center at Lakeshore Park.
"We are extremely excited about having Adam come to Dalton State," Bates said. "He is going to bring a lot of excitement to the program and it's going to be great having him in Dalton for the summer."

I love board games. And wine. And I love when they go together.
A friend recently brought her favorite board game to a party at our home- I was not immediately thrilled when I saw it was Jenga. However, once the tower was assembled and the first tile carefully removed, we discovered that rules and tasks and challenges were written on the underside of each wooden block, and so began the most fun I have ever had with the game of Jenga.
Of course I promptly bought my own Jenga game on my Amazon iPhone app (something that seems to get the most use between the hours of 9pm and 3am on Fridays and Saturdays) and set to work designing my own version of Drinking Jenga. I quickly realized that coming up with 56 unique and clever crowd-pleasing drinking rules was much easier said than done. I turned, of course, to Google, but even extensive internet research came up short. So I have decided to post my Drinking Jenga rules for the next poor soul who types "Drinking Jenga" into a search engine. You're welcome, and cheers.

Very Pin up Girl, Marilyn Monroe gorgeous.
They feature luscious, supple leather and matching suede (you might see lint in the pictures!) They have open toes, and open work on the sides. The leather and suede alternate in swooping, shaped sections over the vamp.
The sides swoop up to an adjustable sling back with buckle closure. The heels are also covered in rich, burgundy leather.
The sole lining is all leather with metallic stamping: TUCKER'S Hand Lasted / Custom Made. These shoes have the best components and highest attention to design and detail. Absolutely PERFECT stitching where the alternating sections meet.
I wear a size 8 medium. These fit me NEARLY PERFECT. They are just a smidgen too long but, the width is fine when I tried them on with hose.
They are marked 9 N. They fit like an 8 & 1/2 Medium when worn with nylons. Measurements: toe to heel on the inside is 10 inches, they are 3 & 1/4 inches across the ball of the foot on the outside. The heels are 3 & 1/2 inches. The all leather sole shoes no wear AT ALL. The arch is strong and flexible. The heels and heel caps are minty. They obviously have NEVER been worn.

Half of the dogs and cats in the US are overweight, putting them at risk of joint pain, diabetes, and shortened life spans. Here's help
Americans aren't the only ones whose waistlines are expanding—our pets are getting bigger too. "In 20 years I have watched pets get supersized in front of my eyes," says Ernie Ward, DVM, a Calabash, NC, a veterinarian, author of Chow Hounds: Why Our Dogs Are Getting Fatter, and founder of the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP).
Just over half of all cats and dogs in US households are either overweight or obese, reports the APOP 2009 National Pet Obesity Awareness Day Study, and the reasons our pets are packing on the pounds aren't that different from the reasons their owners are. Just as we're eating larger portions and more snacks than a generation ago, so are our pets. Because our lives are busier, we're less likely to get the exercise we need—and less likely to take a long walk with our dogs or engage our cats with a ball of yarn.

It might seem that an extra pound or two on our four-legged companions isn't so terrible. But that little bit can be a significant percentage of a pet's total weight. For example, a Yorkie who tips the scales at "just" 12 pounds is equivalent to a 5-foot-4 woman who weighs 218 pounds.
Some owners disregard the health hazards associated with overweight pets and instead focus on how cute their plump cat or roly-poly puppy looks, says Nick Trout, DVM, a staff surgeon at Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston and author of Love Is the Best Medicine: What Two Dogs Taught One Veterinarian about Hope, Humility, and Everyday Miracles. But overfeeding a fat cat or dog is basically loving it to death, says Dr. Trout. Overweight and obese pets not only have shorter life spans but also suffer from more medical problems during their lives, including back pain, arthritis, kidney disease, and diabetes—and they're more expensive to care for as a result.
Just as disturbing, says Dr. Ward, is that an inactive pet is more likely to become depressed or anxious. That's because a sedentary lifestyle leads to an alteration in the three major brain chemicals responsible for mood—and that can create emotional issues. "Aerobic activity for as little as twenty to thirty minutes a day balances norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin levels," he says, "resulting in a better, more stable mood." Also, well-exercised pets won't be quite as wired indoors, so they'll be less prone to chewing, barking, and other troublesome behaviors.
