More copies of this ISBNKing of Fish Thousand Year Run of Salmonby David R Montgomery
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The salmon that symbolize the Pacific Northwest's natural splendor are now threatened with extinction across much of their ancestral range. In studying the natural and human forces that shape the rivers and mountains of that region, geologist David Montgomery has learned to see the evolution and near-extinction of the salmon as a story of changing landscapes. Montgomery shows how a succession of historical experiences — first in the United Kingdom, then in New England, and now in the Pacific Northwest — repeat a disheartening story in which overfishing and sweeping changes to rivers and seas render the world inhospitable to salmon.
In King of Fish, Montgomery traces the human impacts on salmon over the last thousand years and examines the implications both for salmon recovery efforts and for the more general problem of human impacts on the natural world. What does it say for the long-term prospects of the world's many endangered species if one of the most prosperous regions of the richest country on earth cannot accommodate its icon species? All too aware of the possible bleak outcome for the salmon, King of Fish concludes with provocative recommendations for reinventing the ways in which we make environmental decisions about land, water, and fish. Review:"[Montgomery] courageously outlines the scientific evidence surrounding the salmon's plight and presents a no-nonsense plan for the fish's tenuous hope for survival." Publishers Weekly
Review:"David Montgomery is a friend of the river. His compelling account of the plight of the king of all freshwater fish is a book all sportsmen and concerned citizens must read. The intrepid salmon has endured nature's calamities for millions of years. As Montgomery so cogently discloses, we must not allow this magnificent creature to disappear on our watch." William J. Young III, board member, The Atlantic Salmon Federation
Review:"A sorry, scary future for salmon and their ecosystem if this author's warnings go unheeded." Kirkus Reviews
Review:"King Of Fish is the king of salmon books. Its breathtaking depth and its resonant sense of deep time help explain why for millennia the regal salmon have cast magic upon every people that has encountered them." Carl Safina, author of Song for the Blue Ocean and Eye of the Albatross
Review:"Dave Montgomery has written a richly-informed, at times, shocking, meditation on the life and demise of salmon. Anyone who cares about the natural world, be they a recreationalist, scientist, resource manager, or politician should read this book. It illuminates in harsh light the inability of a public resource to be protected when it collides with powerful economic forces. No one can read this book unchanged, and, hopefully, unmoved by the passionate argument made that there is still something that can be done to protect and, more importantly, restore these silvery icons of wild rivers." William E. Dietrich, Professor, Department of Earth and Planetary Science, University of California, Berkeley
Review:"David Montgomery's biography of the salmon is a brilliant natural history of the fish that has most enriched our palates, economy, landscapes, culture, and history. Its decline is a profound human tragedy and a preview for Armageddon in which the triumph belongs to the forces of ignorance and greed." Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., President, Waterkeeper Alliance
Review:"Although there have been many books on salmon in recent years, King of Fish is a necessary contribution. Dave Montgomery does a fine job in explaining the problems facing both Atlantic and Pacific salmon, and how geology of watersheds determines fish habitat. An important read." Robert Behnke, author of Trout and Salmon of North America
Synopsis:A passionate recounting of the natural history of the rise and fall of salmon in England, New England, and the Pacific Northwest-with recommendations for bringing the salmon back About the AuthorDavid R. Montgomery is Professor of Geomorphology at the University of Washington. His research focuses on landscape evolution, including the impact of erosion and sedimentation on biological systems. A member of advisory committees to governmental bodies and private organizations dedicated to protecting rivers and wildlife, Montgomery lives in Seattle with his wife Anne, and his field assistant Xena, a black lab-chow mix.

With advice from The Hastings Center, Chinese University of Hong Kong launched the Centre for Bioethics, the first bioethics center in Hong Kong housed at a major medical school. The launch was marked by a conference on January 9 and 10, "Ethical Dimensions of Policy for Ageing and Genetics," which was co-sponsored by The Hastings Center and featured four of its research scholars.
For the past year, Hastings Center scholars Michael Gusmano and Nancy Berlinger have worked with Chinese University of Hong Kong to develop its bioethics center, helping to establish best practices in its mission, education, and other areas. Gusmano was co-organizer of the launch conference, as well as a speaker and moderator on several panels
The conference examined ethical issues facing health care for older people in Hong Kong, one of the world's most densely populated cities, at a time when genetic research is producing new options for clinical diagnosis and care. These options are also raising new dilemmas of resource allocation, intergenerational justice, and social consensus.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
7 A holy man showed up and said, "No, O king - don't let those northern Israelite soldiers into your army; God is not on their side, nor with any of the Ephraimites. | 7 But a man of God came to him and said, "O king, these troops from Israel must not march with you, for the LORD is not with Israel--not with any of the people of Ephraim. |
8 Instead, you go by yourself and be strong. God and God only has the power to help or hurt your cause." | 8 Even if you go and fight courageously in battle, God will overthrow you before the enemy, for God has the power to help or to overthrow." |
9 But Amaziah said to the holy man, "But what about all this money - these tons of silver I have already paid out to hire these men?" "God's help is worth far more to you than that," said the holy man. | 9 Amaziah asked the man of God, "But what about the hundred talents I paid for these Israelite troops?" The man of God replied, "The LORD can give you much more than that." |
10 So Amaziah fired the soldiers he had hired from the north and sent them home. They were very angry at losing their jobs and went home seething. | 10 So Amaziah dismissed the troops who had come to him from Ephraim and sent them home. They were furious with Judah and left for home in a great rage. |

(Updates to add Lan resuming flights in second paragraph.)
Oct. 17 (Bloomberg) -- International and domestic flights out of Buenos Aires resumed after ash clouds from a volcano in Chile, which disrupted flights yesterday and this morning, cleared.
Lan Airlines SA, Latin America's biggest airline by market value, said it was "gradually" resuming flights after studies showed "no presence of ash in the airspace over Buenos Aires." Lan had earlier canceled flights from Buenos Aires to Lima, Santiago and Montevideo. Aerolineas Argentinas SA, which canceled 39 domestic flights this morning, said on its website that travel was re-starting.
Chile's Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcanic complex began to erupt June 4, generating ash clouds that led to flight cancellations in June and July because of concern that they may clog jet engines. The disruptions spread around the globe to New Zealand and Australia before shifting winds made travel possible again.
A thin coating of grey ash drifted down on Buenos Aires yesterday as the ash cloud returned. Chilean towns near the volcano have been under a "red alert" since the eruption began in June while damage to livestock and crops from ash led Argentina to declare an agriculture emergency earlier this year in the southern provinces of Rio Negro, Chubut and Neuquen.

Our Friend and Angel Connie Richeson has gone to her Heavenly home
There are some people in this great big world who just shine like a star and Connie was one of them.
Everyone was her friend and she would go out of her way constantly to make you feel special or help you in anyway.
I remember her taking over the kitchen here and feeding our guests when Rochelle and I could not be here for that.
She would travel to Central America to help those in need and just glow about it. Always taking on the work of The Lord and living it too.
Constance was a living example of what it means to be a Christian and I am sure the Good Lord would agree.
We Love you and you will be sorely missed.
The following words were written for Connie by Sarah McMillin and Caroline Donnelly and spoken at the service yesterday (1/10/13)by Sarah.
Where can I find Connie?
She is the warm love within our hearts , She is the Ray of light that breaks through the cloud cover, She is the resplendence of the blue crab,
She is the dancing of the sandpipers, She is the laughter inside our souls, She is the dramatic glow of a Sandbridge sunset,
She is the gentle caress of the ocean wave, She is the wonder in a child's eyes, She is the fierceness of the mighty osprey,
She is the devotion of a pair of Tundra swans, She is the playfulness of a leaping dolphin,
She is that comforting summer breeze as it glances your cheek,
She is a love everlasting, She is home in the Glory of God, and
Ryan Pelton is back to perform his world famous Elvis Presley Tribute.
Ryan Pelton and his wonderful crew are here again to weave another magical tribute to Elvis. We had the pleasure of their staying here at Rockwood Manor and getting to know them on a somewhat personal basis. Their show tonight at the Pulaski Theater is almost sold out and I can see why. He is a true artist with a voice to match his looks and both are so close to the King's it is scary. I see why he is so popular and traveling the world performing and yet so down to earth and humble. So many of the performers that have stayed with us are completely different from their stage persona and he is too. At this one of their last performances as a Tribute Band, Ryan told of his intentions of creating his own musical style and going for it. I know he has the talent to do so.
You GO Ryan.
60th Anniversary of Ann & Frank Magill
We were surprised and delighted to have Ann and Frank Magill visit us from their home in Keene, New Hampshire. They love to come back to Dublin Virginia and the home (Rockwood Manor) of his mother and grandparents. This time they brought Frank's sister Becky Barnette from North Carolina with them. Her family had just celebrated Becky's 90th Birthday here and Crystal Magill recently married Chris Jenkins here as well.. So wonderful to have this great group of cousins who so love our family home and to see them grow and prosper in it's presence.
The Airshow Flying Circus Comes to Dublin VA
Celebrate the 5oth Anniversary of our great local New River Valley Airport in style. So many acts on the ground and in the air that will take you back to the good old days of barnstorming.
Our family has ties to those great days. My wife Rochelle's father was a young man in Kansas who fell head over heals for aviation and even designed and built his own plane the Murray Sport.
He then went on to teach another young man (Mudhole Smith) to fly and that became his life story in Alaska.
My father engineered and built aircraft with Glenn L Martin in Baltimore during WWII and later sold missile systems to knock them down
and I too worked in the Army Air Defense with Nike Hercules missiles that now stand at the entrance to Radford Army Arsennal next door.
Check out all they have to offer at www.nrvairshow.com and for a great place to stay while you visit the show try Rockwood Manor and all it has to offer.
The Magill Family returns to Rockwood Manor for a wedding 97 years later.
For over 135 years now this great old family home has been blessed with a variety of family weddings and events.
This weekend we are blessed to have the Magill Family return to the home of their Grandparents.
Crystal Magill will be wed today to Chris Jenkins on the same front lawn as her great grandmother Ellen Howe Bell married Orrin Magill in 1915.
Orrin and Ellen went to China with the YMCA and spent the majority of their early lives together there. Most of the children were born there and the family has grown up all over the world.
Her Grandfather Orrin Magill was born here at Rockwood on one of the families return trips from China.
We wish Crystal and Chris the very best in their future life together. Check out their wedding site . http://magillandjenkins.
Remembering Lieutenant Elliott Hampton Howe
On our basement wall is a scrolling signature of Elliott Hampton Howe in 1897. I always thought he was a cousin but did not know the ties.
Then I was able to read the book on the Howe Family "Listen to the Mockingbird by Col Daniel Dunbar Howe.
I was now able to put a tie to Elliott and learn of his storied fate. Elliott came from a family of soldiers and his duty to our country cost him his life.
He died for this wonderful country in France during the Meuse Argonne offensive of the First World War.
On October 11, 1918 this young cousins life ended so that our great Nation could continue.
We would like all to remember him on Memorial Day.
And now I can put a story to his signature and thank him for what he did.
Rockwood Manor B&B has been Pinned by BnBFinder
Apparently our beautiful Italianate Architecture caught the eye of Marisa at BnBFinder.com and she has put us up on Pinterest under "Inn-triging B&B Architecture.
Thanks to my Great Grand-Parents Francis and Sarah Bell and their alliance with James Burkholder a architect from Lynchburg VA. His outstanding design is
unrivaled in this part of Virginia.
Kentland Community Heritage Festival
Kentland was the homeplace of James Randall Kent and his wife Mary Louisa ( Cloyd )Kent. Their daughter Sarah James Kent was the wife of Francis Bell and my Great Great Grandmother. She and Francis built the home Rockwood here in Dublin Virginia where they could be close to the railhead for shipment of cattle and farm goods to markets in the Big Cities. We today continue their legacy under the name Rockwood Manor Bed and Breakfast. To show how family names continue on both my Mother and Sister are named Sarah Kent. Kentland Farm is now owned by Virginia Tech as a experimental farm and is 3200 acres of the best farmland in Virginia.

Honkey Tonk Angels
Honky Tonk Angels' musical will be performed Tuesday, April 17 at Pulaski Theatre
The Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley and the Pulaski Theatre presents "The Honky Tonk Angels" on Tuesday, April 17, at 7 p.m.
It happens every day of every year. Somewhere in America, a girl quits her job, kisses her loved ones goodbye and climbs aboard a Nashville-bound Greyhound. And every day of every year, those girls arrive in Music City with little more than a dream to sustain them.
"Honky Tonk Angels" is a raucous and touching musical by the author of the hit Broadway show "Always, Patsy Cline," and spotlights three women who gamble everything for a chance to become country music stars. The show is Ted Swindley's funny and tender valentine to the female singers in the country music pantheon – many of whom rode that same bus from Anywhere, USA.
The show tells the story of three aspiring young singers who walk away from their work-a-day lives and head for Nashville. Hear the classic tunes of Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn as they were meant to be sung. "The Honky Tonk Angels" features powerhouse singer-actresses performing 20 country classics including "Stand by Your Man," "Coal Miner's Daughter," "Harper Valley PTA," "Nine-to-Five," "Ode to Billie Joe" and "Harper Valley PTA."
" 'The Honky Tonk Angels' is a unique musical theatre entertainment," says producer and director Paul R. Pierce. "It explores the unbridled desire that drives a poor young farm girl, a weary housewife or a stressed-out secretary to drop everything and roll the dice in the world's most competitive and brutal industry – all for the love of music. Of course, the song list for this show reads like a Nashville greatest hits record, so 'The Honky Tonk Angels' is also a thrilling nostalgic journey for the audience."
The show is produced by Springer Theatricals, the national touring unit of the Springer Opera House, the State Theatre of Georgia. The Springer is a 140-year-old National Historic Landmark with a year-round schedule of plays, musicals and a top-ranked theatre academy. The theatre also has one of the nation's busiest touring schedules, performing in sixty American cities each year.
Since Reconstruction days, the Springer has been a cherished Southern cultural institution with the world's most celebrated artists making pilgrimages to perform in the elegance of this famous theatre. From Edwin Booth, Lilly Langtry, George M. Cohan, Ethel Barrymore and Irving Berlin in the old days to more modern appearances by Truman Capote, Hal Holbrook, Burt Reynolds, Chet Atkins and Garrison Keillor, the Springer Theatre has been a centerpiece for the performing arts in the South since 1871.
"The Honky Tonk Angels" will be performed Tuesday, April 17, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at the Pulaski Theatre, 14 West Main Street, Pulaski, VA 24301. Tickets for the show are $20 in advance and $22 at the door and are on sale now. Ticket outlets are Martin's Pharmacy, Coffee Buy the Book and the Fine Arts Center in Pulaski and the Pulaski County Visitor Center in Dublin. Call 540-980-7363 for more information.

Engagement in the Snow at Rockwood Manor Bed and Breakfast
We were blessed by the visit of Tripp Bell and Rachel Sparrow last evening and their engagement was announced at the breakfast table this morning as the snow started coming down. What a wonderful announcement and such a lovely couple. An interesting fact is that Tripp is Francis Bell the sixth and as such the namesake of our GGGreat Grandfather and builder of this home Rockwood Manor.

Okay, it's late in So Cal and I've been struggling for a name for the brewery. I'm pretty much brewing by the Light of the Moon, so there it is. Also thought of Luna Brewing Co. What say thee?
There's a Lunar Brewing Co. Also, anything with moon in it makes me think of Blue Moon, so I'm sort of anti. But if you like it, go for it!
I like "Light of the Moon Brewing Co." better.
Yeah, it was 01:30ish when I thought of this, I'm leaning to Moonlight Brewing or Light of the Moon since I am only able to brew when my kids, one almost 4 and one 7 weeks are asleep.
I like Moonlight or Light of the Moon better than Luna. With a little creative help you can come up with some nice labels and a logo as well using either name.
I vote for Luna Brewing - more abstract. More abstraction stirs up more unconscious associations - it will mean something different to everyone. Oh, and it's "Eureka." A guy from California should know that one! You've got a city out there with that name!
Black Diamond Brewery Think global, drink local.
+1 Light Of The Moon. I've a quick sketch that I plopped on a piece of paper for a logo or label that comes to mind when I think on this. I'm on my way out the door right now, but I will try to illustrate it when I get back. Would you prefer crecent moon or full moon?

About the Concert Series
Download the Concert Series Brochure
The Concert Series of RBCPC was established by the Traditional Music Ministry as a concert, drama and entertainment outreach to the entire community. Each concert brings an exciting (and not always Traditional) form of entertainment. The program content for each year's schedule of events is established by a music committee chaired by Dr. Christopher Cook, the Director of Worship, Music and the Arts and the Organist for RBCPC.
The quality and variety of the program is a reflection of the multi-generational composition of the congregation of RBCPC.
The budget for the Music Series schedule of programs is funded in two ways. A group of valued contributors donate funds each year for the Concert Series and through voluntary donations received from our audience.
Jack Mitchell Memorial Scholarships
Each year in September, the Concert Committee awards a scholarship to young musicians pursuing a music education beyond high school. The scholarship honors the memory of Jack Mitchell who was the founder of the RBCPC Concert Series. Jack had a special interest in encouraging young musicians. Applications are due in the preceding May. For more information or for a scholarship application, please contact Dr. Christopher Cook, .

Bertha's fix-it team hits its own delay
Constructing the pit needed to fix Bertha, the machine digging the Highway 99 tunnel in downtown Seattle, is taking longer than expected, the megaproject's main contractor said on Monday.
The contractor, Seattle Tunnel Partners, had anticipated completing the concrete walls of the pit this month, but now says that work will continue into late August. When completed, the access shaft will be roughly 11-stories deep.
Despite the delay, Seattle Tunnel Partners project manager Chris Dixon said that leeway in the repair schedule means it is still possible to resume tunneling at the end of March 2015, as originally planned.
"It was an aggressive schedule," Dixon said referring to the repair timeline. "We essentially had three months on the tail end for testing and commissioning, there is some float in there."
Before the approximately 83-foot wide, 120-foot deep circular shaft can be excavated, its perimeter needs to be lined with an underground wall of concrete "secant piles." The cylindrical piles are up to 10-feet in diameter. Building the wall involves sinking a series of "primary" piles, spaced a few feet apart from one another. After the concrete on the primary piles hardens, a second overlapping set of piles is put in place to fill in each of the gaps.

According to Dixon, the delay is arising because the subcontractor constructing the wall, Malcolm Drilling Company, Inc., has had to spend extra time busting away concrete on the primary piles in order to make space to construct the secondary piles. To create room for the secondary piles, Malcolm is using a crane to drop a giant-sized chisel attachment onto the concrete.
"It's adding a step to the operation," Dixon said.
So far, he said, 53 of the 84 piles that will form the wall are in place.
Dixon emphasized that there are no problems with the engineering or the design of the shaft, which is being constructed between the Alaskan Way Viaduct and Pier 48, just south of South Main Street. Groundwater and water from Elliott Bay flows into the soil in the area, which includes glacial till and soft fill.
Washington State Department of Transportation program administrator, Todd Trepanier said the agency had not seen signs that Seattle Tunnel Partners would miss the March restart date, but still expressed some skepticism about the timeline for the repairs.
"We know that STP is attempting to build something here that is very sophisticated and very complicated, but that is what they signed up for," he said "Our concern is slightly elevated whenever you start using the float in the schedule."
Bertha is currently stopped 1,023 feet along the planned tunnel path, which runs about 9,000 feet between Sodo and South Lake Union.
The machine began to experience problems early last December. Subsequent inspections revealed that a set of seals that protects the machine's main bearing had failed. The main bearing allows Bertha's 57.5-foot cutter-head to spin and mine through the earth.
Seattle Tunnel Partners and Hitachi Zosen Corp., the machine's manufacturer, plan to replace the seals and the main bearing. They are also going to strengthen the front of the machine with 86 tons of steel ribs and other reinforcement parts. To complete the work, they will drive Bertha forward into the access shaft and then remove the cutter-head and other components, which all together weigh nearly 2,000 tons.

The entire project has become one expensive joke. Anyone who believes anything with regard to fixes, timelines and budget constraints from project proponents must be living in fantasy land. It's not even a transportation project really, since it reduces throughput and is less safe than virtually every alternative; there should not be one dime of state transportation money spent on it.
Posted Tue, Jul 29, 10:03 a.m.
Remember who came up with this plan??? The Discovery Institute, who also brought you Intelligent Design.
It may be true there are no Atheists in foxholes, but apparently there are no "Faith Based" tunnels either.
Posted Tue, Jul 29, 9:35 p.m.
Discovery Institute's holy rollers may be staging an apocalyptic disaster, ie, orchestrating the (wrong) type of tunnel guaranteed to topple buildings above -with a death toll in the thousands- as evidence that God passes judgment upon (no offense) liberals and other ungodly stupid people.
Posted Tue, Jul 29, 4:42 p.m.
I think it's divine payback. The almighty told those guys back in 2008, "OK you've had your little laugh, now quit screwing these people around and resurrect the viaduct."

Livin' Up to My Name

Hello Everyone, my name is Tracy. I have been having a hard time for the past several months now. Here are some of my numbers to try to shorten my description:
Joined SP in July 286 pounds.
In September of 2012, I hit my goal weight of 165 pounds.
In April of 2012 I began running and loved it.
In July of 2012, I ran from start to finish my first 5K. I still loved it.
In December of 2012, I ran each day for a total of 100 miles.
In April of 2013, I began wondering what I was aiming for. I had a hard time keeping my weight in check and wasn't looking forward to my running anymore.
Since then I have been struggling. I have gained about 30 pounds back. I am very unhappy with myself and seem to keep grasping on different things to try to find my lifestyle, but thus far nothing has worked. I have tried running again, but am still finding it feeling like a chore, probably because I am looking at it as a job/chore and I am mad at myself that I am not in the shape I was just a year ago. After months of doing this, I made some new years resolutions, figuring that had to work. I feel like I MUST know what I need to do. But they came crashing down around day 10. I suppose I should note here, I am a food addict and I am pretty sure I suffer from binge eating disorder. I have been thinking for days, I decided that the time I was happiest was when I was active on Spark. I believe it is because I always searched myself and came up with goals and plans to achieve them. I need to do something to keep myself in check. So, here I am back sparking. I also searched my thoughts about starting a new name or coming back to this one. It is kinda shameful to look at what I had done on this old name and feel like I let others but mostly myself down. But then decided that this is what I need to do, go back to this girl who lost the weight, who found the motivation and determination to follow through with making goals and setting plans. I decided it was truly time to live up to my name on spark.....

Good Afternoon! I am glad yesterday went better for you. It occurs to me that you may very well find that your son has a huge maturity jump between 8th grade and 9th grade. All 3 of mine did. Not saying that it was as dramatic for my Aspie as it was for the older ones but even she had a maturity jump. She just will always be a mish mash of mature and immature. Because she is very bright she can hold very mature conversations but she doesn't do it often at home and she hits us with all the worst behaviors to relieve her stress. Does not make it fun to parent her.
So hold on to the fact that most kids grow between MS and HS. Your son may yet surprise you.
We are taking DD2 to an overnight stay at University of MD. She spends the night with a host student and tomorrow she attends an accepted student open house. We are leaving her on her own. Big step for us. DH and I will then have a date night and eat dinner out. I will probably exceed calories because dinner will be late and I expect to be famished. I am slightly hungry now and lunch was only 90 minutes ago. By 7 tonight I will be starved. Tomorrow morning I can sleep in. The luxury of not having to get up at 6 AM.
I did an hour of cardio this morning. Not as energetic as yesterday. My legs were definitely slow to wake up and never quite made it. So far this week I got in 11000 steps on Monday 10000 on Tuesday 9400 yesterday and am on target to exceed 10000 today. That is from my daily exercise and normal movement during the day. I am not pushing myself to reach 10000 each day. This weekend I will not do any cardio and just measure normal steps. I would like to spend some time in the yard weather permitting. It is calling for showers all weekend. Today hopefully will be the last frigid day. The weather man did use that 4 letter word again though (snow).
I weigh myself on the 1st for my official weight but I don't expect to reach my goal for the month. It is a lot harder to relose this weight.
Wishing you a great weekend and I hope your team wins!

Okay, so I forgot to follow you on pinterest... but last night before bed I was looking into the whole 30 pins. I was going to try it this morning until I realized I had coffee with creamer in it and also scrambled my eggs with a little bit of milk. 3 scrambled eggs, and I've already had a banana for snack. Lunch isn't at all whole 30 friendly, leftovers penne with chicken and italian sausage, sooo... I might have to try again tomorrow. :/ I'll eventually get the hang of it. Sugar is huge for me apparently. No wonder I constantly eat. I was thinking about it after i made my coffee this morning. There is sugar in my creamer, and I put extra sugar in it. My husband is forever telling me it tastes like sugar water. Now.... I totally get it.

Just read your intro again. It occurs to me that you beat up on yourself too much. You get so driven at doing something and while you have the enthusiasm about doing something new there is no stopping you. After a while when the enthusiasm wears off you start second guessing yourself and feeling bad about not approaching something with the same degree of drive/joy that you used to have. prepping to run the half marathon was a large part of your joy of running. However to spend the amount of energy and time to do it while juggling 3 kids is wearing. My DS can do it because other than his job and his social life he has no other demands on his time. Having 3 kids with a 13 year spread is a job and a half. I only have 1 still at home and DH and I have been counting down all year until we don't have to see that she catches the bus every morning, does her homework, gets to her after school activities etc etc.
Don't be so hard on yourself. You are doing great! You caught yourself before you hit the dreaded 200 ( I wish I had). Get yourself back down to a weight you can be comfortable with. Eat sensible and don't deprive yourself to the point that food is an obsession.
Have a great day!

You are some awesome for doing this! Thanks for the links.
I was mainly concerned about the meats. I mean for the most part I try to stick to ground turkey instead of ground beef now, but was wondering about the bacon. Also other red meats, but like you said sometimes it's just not possible.
I plan on checking out your links though. I think that will help me. I may do a paleoish lifestyle. Do it as much as I can, but if it's not possible don't beat myself up about it. I think the more I add whole foods into my diet the better regaurdless.
I'll have to follow you on pinterest. I think on there I'm bethborden. :)

Hi! Hopeyou had a good day. Unfortunately last night was a typical wakw up every hour night again. However my cardio was pretty good today and I got over 8000 steps in by the end of it. I also reached 10000 steps today and 11000 yesterday. Had my son over for dinner. Fixed baked ziti and I ate too much. We all devoured seconds. Should feel guilty but it was delicious.I will make something lighter for dinner tomorrow. We had snow all day! It melted as it fell on the roads but is beginning to accumulate on grass. Will see if school is delayed tomorrow. Tomorrow we are having coffee with friends so our gym workout will be later in the day.
Did you know that 20 pistachios are only about 100 calories? Hope they work for you.
Have a good evening!

Social media is the holy grail of online traffic for content publishers these days. Almost 10% of all traffic online comes from Facebook alone. If you can figure out how to get your content spread and shared in social media you stand to benefit from a large number of organic visitors.
Not only that. Social signals like shares and mentions from Facebook, Twitter and Google+ are increasingly associated with higher rankings in search results. Everyone is looking for the formula on how to break through and get social media traffic and engagement. This is a 25 step game plan for how you can organically get your content in more Facebook news feeds.
Distribution is no longer free – the move towards ZERO organic reach
First thing first. There is a strong likelihood that your content goes completely unnoticed in the busy Facebook news feed. Did you know that your Facebook page wall posts are viewed by less than 5% of people that like you? The organic distribution of page's posts is gradually declining as Facebook tweaks their algorithm and we might soon see the end of organic reach – ZERO organic reach! Facebook recommends the use of paid ads in order to reach all your likes.
Facebook is basically monetizing your likes by charging you for news feed distribution. Facebook owns your page and your likes, not you. It's a great business model. Keep this in mind when thinking about your distribution strategy as I would not advise you to put all your eggs in the social media basket. Use social media to help build your own platform on your site or through your email instead as that audience you will always have full, unrestricted and free access to.
Spending a lot of time and effort on building your own Facebook page might be a waste of time considering the above but social media still has great potential in introducing your site to a new audience and you should use it in order to spread your content on it. Let's take a look how.
How to setup your Facebook page
The basics of setting up a Facebook page are pretty simple and you should aim to have these covered before we move on to how to write effective content that gets shared on Facebook.
- Create a Facebook page for your site and complete all the page information
- Set your cover photo as that is the most prominent image people see. The cover photo image size is 851×315 pixels
- Set your profile picture. This is the image that will be shown next to your wall posts in people's news feeds. The size of the image is 180×180 pixels, but make sure it also looks good at 32×32 pixels
How to optimize your blog for Facebook
- Promote your Facebook page on your site. One way to do this is to put the Like Box in the sidebar.
- Include Facebook like and/or share buttons on all your posts. This will help get your content spread on Facebook, will increase the traffic you get from there and hopefully result in more likes to your page. Mashsharer is a good plugin that makes it easy for visitors to share your posts. See my list of recommended WordPress plugins.
- Publish shareable content that is a natural fit for Facebook. Humorous content that makes people laugh, relatable content that people identify themselves with and / or useful and educational information. My detailed guide on creating shareable content.
- Write great headlines and catchy excerpts for your posts. When your post is shared on Facebook a preview that includes your post headline and the excerpt are included. These play a big part in getting people to click on the preview so optimize them and make them as clickable as possible. More on clickable headlines here.
- Include stunning imagery into your content. When people share your posts on Facebook those posts display a highly visual preview. Images on your blog need to be larger than 600x315px in order to display in a large thumbnail. More on using stunning imagery.
- Use proper Open Graph tags. These tags are basically a code included into your blog which allows Facebook to preview some of your content when it is shared on Facebook. The preview normally includes the headline, image thumbnail and an excerpt of the post. Use this debug tool to see how Facebook sees your blog right now. Easy way to add proper Open Graph tags is to install WordPress SEO plugin and in "Social" section for Facebook tick on "Add Open Graph Meta Data".
- Integrate Facebook comments into your comments area. Facebook comments do require commenters to use their real identities and their real Facebook accounts. When people have to post in their real names and their friends and family might see their words they might be more careful with what they write. This in theory would eliminate a large amount of spam that any blogger gets and would allow you to optimize your time for writing.
When using Facebook commenting your words also appears in your news feed with a link back to the post you commented on. This can be an extra traffic source for a blogger if friends and network of the person who commented sees the link and clicks on it. Also when you respond to comments you can choose to respond as your Facebook page. This gives more exposure to the Facebook page and hopefully more "likes" as well.
One possible negative aspect about Facebook comments is that you will have less comments. There might be less spam and less trolls but you will have less comments in general. Some people just don't have Facebook accounts. Some people do not want to have their personal Facebook account, full name and profile picture scattered all across the different comment areas around the web.
To try it out install the Facebook Comments plugin. To get a good overview of the Facebook comments posted on all your posts, save the Comment moderation area link.
How to get more people to like your page
Now that you have your Facebook page setup, here are tips on how to get more likes on Facebook:
- Add value to your Facebook page. Drop the sales pitch and use your page to provide tips and tricks, additional information and pictures. Prepare a conversation calendar for social media and synchronize that plan with your blogging activities. This will help get people to engage with you.
- Build credibility and trust with your users. Showcase your skills and knowledge. Share your expertise generously. Help users solve their issues, help them achieve their goals. Win loyal fans one by one.
- Be interactive. Talk to your fans and make sure you're not distancing yourself from them. Reply to their questions, "like" their answers and start engaging discussions. Monitor the conversations on a regular basis and never leave a question without an answer. This will help build a community and more people will be spreading the word about you.
- Go find your audience proactively. Don't just interact with your audience, but also your competition and their audience. Start participating in discussions on other Facebook pages that you know consist of audience similar to yours. Don't be a spammer but leave valuable comments. 'Like' some of the other comments people have left. If they need an answer and haven't gotten one, help them, if you can.
- Give things away. People love free stuff. Create and run exclusive giveaways and other competitions for your Facebook readers.
Facebook news feed ranking algorithm factors
Ok, now you have your page and you are starting to get some likes. Getting your likes to engage (view, click, like, comment, share) your updates is just as difficult as getting them to like your page in the first place.
A typical Facebook user has more than 1,500 stories that could be displayed in the news feed on each visit. This is impossible to catch up on so Facebook has an algorithm that chooses and prioritizes the 300 posts or so that the user actually sees. There are actually more than 1000 different factors on how Facebook decides which posts get the exposure and most of these are unknown. Here are some of the known factors:
- How complete the page profile is
- User's previous interaction with the page
- Number of likes, shares and comments the post gets from user's friends and from the world at large
- Type of post (photo, video, link, status update) and how much the user has interacted with the type in the past
- When a user likes something this means that they want to see more of it so Facebook shows them more
- When a user hides something it makes the news feed display less of that content in the future
- How frequently content from the page is hidden, the more people hide content the less it will be displayed
Understanding your audience: Day, time and type of post
Even if you are successful in reaching your fans, the engagement rate of a typical Facebook page post is less than 1%. Because of this it is critical to understand what content works best with your fan base and then amend your content strategy to increase the organic reach. Look at the reach of the total fan base and engagement from people you reach to see how well your content works.
You want to post the right type of post at the right time of day in order to have the highest chance of reaching the largest possible audience. Facebook Insights will help you with this. Look at your insights for "Posts" to analyse these factors:
- Day of week and time of day to post.Your audience might be present at certain days or times more than others. Make sure to post at the right days and times.
- Type of post to post. Plain status update, link thumbnail, video, image. The type of post affects your organic reach. Plain status update have the best reach. It doesn't necessary result in more engagement as they are not too prominent or visually appealing but they do get seen by more people. Photos get the most engagement.
13 tips for writing effective Facebook page posts
If your post gets engagement it will reach more people. Your engaging stories will appear near the top of news feed even hours after they have been published. Because of this you must create genuinely interesting content. Before posting ask yourself if anyone would want to share or recommend the specific post to their family and friends. If the answer is no, don't post it.
You now know the optimal days and hours to post your content on. You also know what type of post your audience responds to best. Let's take a look at how you can write effective Facebook page wall posts optimized to reach more people and get more engagement:
- Be natural. Facebook is, for the most part, a fun and relaxed platform, so write in spoken language. Always consider your audience, but don't take yourself too seriously and don't be too formal.
- Be topical, timely and relevant. Write posts that need to be read and engaged with right now. More on timely content here.
- Be visual as visual content like images and videos are more engaging and get more reach: Photos > Videos > Status Updates > Links.
- Keep it short. The longer the length of the wall post, the less engaging the wall post is. Posts of 80 characters or less are the most engaging. Learn to edit yourself and keep your posts all short and simple!
- Emotions sell and encourage readers to share. The most shared posts sway and persuade. They are invitations to discussion and interchange. Try to write posts that scream for reaction. Create posts for commentary.
- Ask questions. Ask questions that are easy to answer. Be very specific. Ask questions that are polarizing. Posts with a question get more engagement than posts without a question.
- Place questions at the end of your post rather than at the beginning or middle of the post to make it stand out the best. Posts that end with a question have a 15% higher engagement rate than posts with questions at the beginning or in the middle.
- Fill in the blank. Use sentences with one word missing and let your fans fill in the ______.
- Post quotes. Inspirational quotes work very well across social media. Try also to post quotes within images.
- Don't game the distribution by asking people to like your post. Facebook is not a fan of call-to-actions to like or share and the algorithm may penalize these types of posts.
- Limit links. Try to focus your content on some pure-engagement posts with the only aim being to get people to like, comment and share your posts. This will contribute to you having higher reach. Facebook is not a big fan of pages that very frequently link out to their websites and the reach for links is generally lower than the reach for image posts.
- When linking out use Facebook's default link format. Some bloggers prefer to put a link within a photo post but Facebook has announced that it is best to use link format. The algorithm now prioritizes links in the link format compared to links in status updates or captions.
- Full URL's. If you do use links use full URL's. Engagement rates are 3 times higher for posts that use the full-length URL instead of the URL shortener like bit.ly.
- Tag other pages. Obviously don't do this all the time and don't tag irrelevant pages, but do experiment with it when it is relevant and appropriate. Tagging another page means that your post might be shown to some people that like the tagged page.

"Mhairi is darkly funny and quite, quite rude…You Had Me at Hello is a breath of tart, Northern air." Sarra Manning
'I loved this: An original, genuinely funny, genuinely moving, modern love story.' Katy Regan
'You Had Me at Hello had me right from the very first line. Bitingly sharp and achingly funny, this is a modern day twist on the classic Persuasion...except this time, Jane Austen is in jeans with a drink in one hand and a take on relationships that's guaranteed to have you bent double. I absolutely loved it!' Claudia Carroll
Mhairi McFarlane was born in Scotland in 1976 and has been explaining how to pronounce her name ever since. (With a 'V', not an 'M'. Yes, that's us crazy Celts for you). She is based in Nottingham where she used to be a local journalist and now she's a freelance writer and sometime-blogger, which we all know is code for messing about on Twitter. She likes drinking wine, eating food and obtaining clothes; all the impressive hobbies. Her best anecdotes involve dislocating her elbow tripping over a briefcase and a very bad flight to New York. She lives with a man and a cat.

I was accepted in the 4 month Guide program at Strathcona Park Lodge in March of 1983. After the course I was hired and worked six seasons instructing and guiding school groups, and led the COLT -Land based program teaching survival,search and rescue, climbing and mountaineering courses. My first High Altitude climb took place while on an expe- dition with Rob and Laurie Wood from Strathcona, with a group to Mt. Waddington.
I left Strathcona to I work winters as the leader of the Pro-Patrol team at Powder King Ski Village in the Pine Pass, mountain safety and eventually also ran outside operations. It was here I met Becky who was running ski tours up to this area from Prince George. Working winters allowed me the flexibility to get out into the mountains in the spring and summer and climb in other parts of the world.
Becky had two children so we had to pull out from northern ski post and move to a community for school. We chose Nelson, B.C. We built a log home in the woods together and I worked winters as a Heli Ski Guide with Kootenay Heli Ski, now CMH. I trained for my first Everest expedition while working at Powder King. Becky joined me to climb Everest in 1991, my first Everest climb Read more

Two members of the staff at Strathcona Park Lodge won gold medals in the women's events at the Canadian White-water Kayaking Championships held July 13- 17 in Alberta.
Anne Boulding of Campbell River beat out about 11 other women to take the slalom event. Sheila Taylor of Alberta, also on the lodge's staff, won the gold in the downriver event. Taylor topped two others, including Boulding who placed second.
Taylor was also third in the slalom event. "The competition in the downriver event wasn't as keen as last year," said Taylor.
The slalom course was much different. It was only over about 700 metres on the Bow River but included 30 gates which the athletes had to pass through in specified directions.
Boulding ran the course in 232 seconds. She touched three poles so her time was increased to 247. But most of the other competitors drew more penalties than she did and she finished 100 seconds ahead of the second place winner. Read more

Dropkick Murphys will come out swinging on the back of their new album "Signed And Sealed In Blood", due out via Dew Process on 11 January 2013. The album, said to resemble the "last 30 seconds of a Stanley Cup hockey game: frenetic and dangerous", is the band's eighth-full length effort and sees the seven-piece totally on top of their game as songwriters and performers.
Australia is already familiar with their raucous live presence; a stage swarming with sweat and swagger. Dropkicks have an enviable reputation for delivering a live show that can satisfy fans of any age and predilection. Everyone from old school skate punx to those more recently recruited by the foot stomping Celtic anthems of "Going Out In Style" can emerge from a Dropkick Murphys show with an irrepressible smile.

We are staying at a family members vacation place. They have a smoothtop electric stove/range. We do not use an electric range at home so this is new to us. My spouse, not knowing the top was still warm, used a regular type dish cloth to wipe up a couple of spills on the cook top. In one area, it's left a whitish type stain. We don't want to do further damage, but how do we remove this "stain." |
Follow-Up Postings:
Try a little white vinegar and see if that helps. |
I've only used Weiman Glass Cook Top Heavy Duty Cleaner & Polish (squeeze top bottle not a spray) on mine, the former owner of the house left a bottle here for me. Stove was 5 yrs old then, I've been here 18 months and not a mark anyplace. Are there no stove top cleaners tucked away somewhere in this vacation house, if not under the sink, in a utility closet with cleaning supplies? Not expensive and I can find it at just about any grocery store. |
Thanks for the responses. Tucked away in the back corner of a cabinet I found a little bottle of a cleaner and a razor type scraper for the stove top. A little elbow grease and the scraper was all I needed. |
Oh great, now you can leave the house the way you found it, and I'm sure feel much more comfortable. One thing I learned quickly with this one, the outside of the cookware needs to be as flawlessly clean as the inside, no cooking or dish soap residues on the bottoms of pans - or the spots transfer right to the stove top, require cleanup. It's not a stove I would have chosen myself but I checked and its a $2000 range - combination convection oven w/downdraft -, so I'm dealing with it ;) |

You have to remove these stain mark very carefully because glass stove scratch very easily, clean the stove when you are not using these, remove the thick burned area with a dull butter knife, make a thick paste of baking soda and stir it, rub the paste of baking soda from burn area and allow to remove the stain by brushing it with sponge from 10- 15 min. |
Buy a cleaner made for that. It has taken off every thing that I have burned on without scrubbing. |

So, someone posted a question on Reddit: "Which famous person needs to just come out already?" and it has already elicited, as questions on Reddit will, thousands of answers, almost all of which are just "Tom Cruise." Obviously, this is just an Internet goof. "Tom Cruise, duh!" It's silly. Strictly for the laugh out louds. But also, no, guys. No. The answer to the question is not Tom Cruise. The answer to the question is none of the above. Nobody needs to come out. For what? The person who is most hurt by someone hiding their sexuality is the person hiding his/her sexuality. The end! (And if we're really talking about Tom Cruise, I cannot think of a LESS powerful and inspirational figurehead for any kind of gay empowerment movement than that guy.) Actually, before anyone else "comes out," and this is in no means a diminishment of the wellsprings of personal strength that those in the public eye who have come out in the past have had to summon in order to do so, but before anyone else follows their lead, how about we get rid of the entire expression. Coming out stems from the need to keep something hidden, and the need to keep something hidden stems from the idea that it's bad or shameful. So whenever anyone "comes out," no matter how joyful or liberating, it still plays into and feeds off of that basic darkness. No more! How about it? A better question would be: which famous person needs to just fuck whoever they want and fall in love with whoever they want and not worry about some kind of ignorant, archaic, bigoted, garbage reaction from the boring, overly entitled, violently intrusive public? And the answer to that question is: everybody. It can be fun to gossip about who is having sex with whom! But it doesn't matter whether they are gay or straight. Let's just take that focus off of it. Personally I find the fact that Lizzy Caplan is dating Matthew Perry to be WAY MORE EXPLOSIVE than Anderson "Bike Shirt" Cooper. But I hope all three of them are very happy. (Thanks for the tip, Funtastik.)

The Battered Husband Syndrome In The Liberty Movement
Submitted by BILL3 on Sat, 02/23/2013 - 22:59(vol. iii in a spontaneously collaborative series)
The night was cold and wet.
Nearly 10 years had elapsed since she had left him and taken everything.
She no longer had a name to him. When she was mentioned at all it was the bitch or that bitch.
After decades of devotion, fidelity and hard work, she left him. Not on amicable terms, not with a mutual sense of respect, but in a sudden act of betrayal and an emotional about face, he was pushed out of the life he had built and treated as a stranger or wretch who she had never known.
The divorce was brutal, long and painful.
Nor was it a split on equal terms, a parting of company with a fair division of possessions and a mutual bond of respect. Even the beloved fruits of the former bond, now denied by the one, were selfishly snatched away completely from the spurned one.
Left alone, miserable, a pervasive sense of hopelessness, he sat in quiet, sipped his drink, and contemplated the sweet solace of a revenge played out again and again in his mind, alive as life, but not life.
That spouse which he loved, that movement that was his child, the happy auspices of the gay wedding day, the high hopes for the future, he now whimsically remembered while drowning his sorrow in the last few swigs of the bottle. He drank back his gall.
There was a .22 on the table. A few shells rolled and now rested in place.
He woke up the next day. The hangovers no longer bothered him at this point, if they came at all. It wasn't long after the last sip of his breakfast that the knock at the door came.
There she was, in his doorway, tears in her eyes. Fake or real, he did not know. In her arm was a suitcase of her things. She was broken, harried, no where left to go, but she spoke too smoothly. That glibness and persistence of one in need and hard on the heels of an all too specific goal.
Back again, when there was no where else to go, back again, when in need. Back again to drain that last drop of blood, love and money still limping along in him, which alone kept him from collapsing and waking no more. Here was the bitch, back to claim that last drop.
The conclusion of this little episode is too gruesome to narrate in words.
Suffice it to say, no doors will remain long opened to traitorous whores.

It's 6PM and she fumbles with the keys
as she unlocks the door. With much trepidation, she enters her home and quietly closes the door behind her. She turns her head, straining to hear what sounds may be coming from the kitchen. She knows he is in the house somewhere, and prays silently that she could save her and her family from the dreaded fate that always awaits them when he arrives home first. She quietly puts down her keys and bag, removes her high heels, knowing that she must make it to the kitchen as quickly and silently as possible. She must not let it happen again.
She holds her breath as she dashes to the kitchen. She pushes open the swing door and gasps....
"Honey!" he exclaims, bearing a wide grin. "I got it covered!"
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
