text: I'm a 25-year-old guy who is interested in bulking up. I'm a dedicated runner and I'm very athletic, but I would really like to start building muscle (especially in my arms). I wanted to find out if there is any way to build muscles and definition fast without dealing with stretch marks. I know some guys who bulked up quickly and look great, but they have some really bad stretch marks on their arms and I don't want that. Are there any natural supplements that I can take along with a regular weight-training regime that will help add muscle quickly without getting stretch marks? I'm just really tired of looking so scrawny.

RE: James McDermott
Father, you are going to be up a lot at night.
But it's a labor of love. I wish I had more time, I have over 10,000 names on my tree, and I'm still flushing it out. It's hard to believe I started this so many many years ago. I found a photograph of Father Trexler which is also my family and I need to post it. When my older members passed, I got the photographs, and I've been a bit lax on getting them uploaded here. It's a good site for future generations. I have all of your books, so I'm content. If I can help in any way please just ask.

Newcomb found not guilty by reason of insanity
by WILY/WRXX News Staff • July 11, 2013 • News
A 24-year-old Centralia man was found not guilty Thursday by reason of insanity for the 2011 stabbing death of Frank Augustine, a Centralia business owner.
In the first day of the two-day discharge hearing, Judge Michael McHaney had found the state had overwhelmingly met its burden of proof Wednesday in Marion County Court the charges against Christopher K. Newcomb.
Witnesses for the prosecution Wednesday included police detectives from the Centralia Police Department, as well as Katherine Beard, Newcomb's former landlady who Newcomb was charged with stabbing June 1, 2011, hours before the brutal murder of Augustine.
In addition to witness testimony, McHaney heard from the defendant through the videotapped interview he had with police the day of his arrest.
However, on Thursday the defense presented only one witness, clinical psychologist Dr. Daniel Cuneo, who testified that Newcomb suffered from psychosis, delusions, auditory and visual hallucinations, along with looseness of thoughts and extreme mood swings.
Cuneo said Newcomb was diagnosed as schizoaffective disorder with bipolar and was legally insane at the time of the attacks.
Following his ruling Thursday, Judge McHaney ordered Newcomb remanded back into custody of a secure mental facility.
According to defense attorney Steve Quinn, while his client can never be tried for the crimes for which he was charged, he will likely spend the rest of his life in Chester Mental Health Center, where he has been held since September 2011, when he was initially found unfit to stand trial.
"This is sad for everyone," Quinn said of the situation, noting the family of Frank Augustine has suffered greatly.
Newcomb had spent many years of his childhood in Centralia until his family moved to Kentucky when he was approximately 15-years-old. While a student at Centralia High School, he was enrolled in special classes for behavioral issues.
Quinn says his client had a history of mental illness, and had been hospitalized from the time he was 16 until he was released just prior to his 19th birthday, per Kentucky law.
According to Quinn, he was never able to have a cognizant conversation with Newcomb and that despite being placed on 2,500 milligrams of Depakote and other antipsychotic medications, his client still suffers from visual and auditory hallucinations.
"This is all very sad," commented Quinn. "But Christopher will be where he needs to be."

William David Duke Family Home PageUpdated September 5, 2000 |
William David Duke
1103 Dawn Drive
Arlington, TX 76010 |
I am researching the DUKE family tree. I have information back to a Henry Duke who was born in Georgia in 1823. He married a woman named Mary. Their children included Joe Duke, 1844; James Thomas Duke, 1854, my great grand-father; Lucy A Duke, 1858; William Henry Duke, 1858; Harvey Sylvester Duke, 1863, Georgia Duke, 1868; M.F. Duke, 1868; and John Duke, 1871. I know very little about Mary's maiden name or Henry's parents. I do have information to indicate that both parents were born in North Carolina and that Mary was born in Georgia. I have not been able to get passed this period. Any help would be appreciated. |

MPP - NH Medical Marijuana Hearing and News Conference
New Hampshire Senate Committee to Hold Hearing Tuesday on Bill That Would Provide Legal Access to Medical Marijuana
HB 1622 sponsor Rep. Donald 'Ted' Wright will join medical marijuana patients and advocates for a pre-hearing news conference at 10:30 a.m. ET in the lobby of the Legislative Office Building
CONCORD — The New Hampshire Senate Health, Education, and Human Services Committee will hold a public hearing Tuesday regarding a bill that would provide licensed patients with legal access to medical marijuana while the state develops a system of regulated cultivation and distribution.
Rep. Donald "Ted" Wright (R-Tuftonboro), who is sponsoring HB 1622, will join medical marijuana patients and advocates at a pre-hearing news conference at 10:30 a.m. ET in the lobby of the Legislative Office Building. The committee hearing is scheduled for 11 a.m. ET in Room 103.
"My weight is down to around 60 pounds, and I have no appetite without cannabis," said Clayton Holton, a Dover-based medical marijuana advocate suffering from muscular dystrophy, who will not be attending the hearing because he is no longer able to travel. "Where is the compassion for patients like me who are literally wasting away because of these delays?"
HB 1622 would allow licensed medical marijuana patients or their designated caregivers to possess up to two mature marijuana plants and twelve immature plants or seedlings. Patients and caregivers would be required to report their cultivation locations to the Department of Health and Human Services, and they would lose their ability to cultivate once an alternative treatment center opens within 30 miles of their residence.
"If this bill passes, New Hampshire will continue to have one of the strictest medical marijuana laws in the nation," said Matt Simon, the Goffstown-based New England Political Director for the Marijuana Policy Project. "At least it will help those desperately ill patients who cannot wait any longer for legal access to medical marijuana."
WHAT: News conference and State Senate Committee hearing regarding HB 1622, which would allow licensed medical marijuana patients or caregivers to cultivate limited amounts of medical marijuana while the state develops a system of regulated alternative treatment centers
WHEN: Tuesday, April 8 — news conference at 10:30 a.m. ET; Senate committee hearing at 11 a.m. ET
WHERE: News conference in the lobby of the Legislative Office Building, 33 N. State St., Concord; Senate committee hearing in Room 103
WHO: Rep. Donald "Ted" Wright (R-Tuftonboro), sponsor of HB 1622
Matt Simon, New England Political Director for the Marijuana Policy Project

Find that song
Stylish SoundHound returns song titles and artist information when you sing, hum, speak, type, or play a request into your iPhone.
When most companies offer free versions of premium apps, it's not unusual to see a substantial portion of the feature set fly out the door. Thankfully that's not the case with music-finding app SoundHound. The company, which has changed names and pricing structures throughout the course of its modest lifetime, has wisely left the bulk of its feature set intact while limiting the number of times per month you can access its core feature, identifying (or "tagging") and app.
Unlike competitors that require you to hold the app close to the source of recorded music before it can ID your song title, lyrics, and artist information, SoundHound works even when you sing, hum, speak, or type a request into the stylish interface. Though the app is now faster than before--returning results in as few as 4 seconds--ambient noise may still interfere with accurate results, and typing usually prevailed in the rare case that singing into the speaker or holding the iPhone up to a music source failed.
There are music videos to watch, when available from YouTube, and song lyrics, either delivered right to you, or in the form of an in-app Google search. Trend charts show you how popular a song is vis a vis the publisher's online and mobile network, and you can see which songs other users have identified. Cleverly, SoundHound can also hook into your iPhone's iPod library and produce the same info and lyrics for songs you already own.
Take heed that neither version of SoundHound downloads the song itself, though the app can help you buy music through iTunes. The iPad version looks even better, keeping the song-finding features on the left while surfacing videos, titles, and other related information in the main panel on the right.
SoundHound (the company) also offers a premium version of the app for $4.99 that strips out the banner ads and five-song-a-month limit found in the free version. But don't worry if you start with the freebie and change your mind later; in-app purchasing gives you two ways to upgrade.

Favorite Ski/Bike Snack
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Whether its after peddling a couple laps at the 12 hours of Sundance or during a dawn patrol skin up Brighton these are by far my favorite quick bite. I have tried all flavors except the honey and the tastiest(in my professional opinion) is the Strawberry. I love the texture of these and they don't make me crash, or feel bogged down.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Perfect quick snack on the run. I've tried chocolate, strawberry, honey and vanilla and the vanilla is the best by far! I love the texture.
Ryan Gibbs
Maybe I got a bad batch, or maybe its the way they are, but I found these more difficult to stomach than other options. The one I had was incredibly cardboardy, think waffles left out all day, put in a refrigerator, then microwaved (that sort of texture).
I've tried the Lemon and the Strawberry. Preferred the Lemon, but I'd rather have one of the many other Honey Stinger products I actually like. It did give me a boost of energy, so it got the job done.
Good product, but not for me
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I tried one in my kitchen and liked it. But, on the bike they are a little to dry for me and hard to get down. Just a preference thing. Giving 4 stars because it is a good product, just a little dry.

I go on rides just so I can eat them
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Love these on a long ride. Sometimes I add a some miles just so I can have another one. Great for running and riding. Slip easily into a jersey or pocket. Chocolate is my favorite but I also even the honey and the vanilla.
Steve L
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Every time I get a new box I have to restrain myself from ripping into them all savage-like. Great for skiing and other winter sports as they do not turn into a teeth chipping brick
George E
Great Sack
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These things are the perfect side kick for anything in the outdoors. I mainly drag them along hiking or fishing. They are small enough that throwing a couple in your pack is well worth it, even if there's a good chance you wont need them. The Honey is my favorite. I usually love strawberry items, but this strawberry flavor was a little different, I didn't hate it but I've had better. Hands down, if you like Honey flavored items this will become your go to.
Chris Purkey
Referred taste
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Eating these two at a time with some Justin's peanut butter smashed between is the jam of all jams. I recommend you give that a go.
Bryce Galloway
love these
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
these taste really good, and give you the energy to keep going and to finish the race!
Will take it backpacking again!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought the honey flavor and took on a section hike on the AT. It's delicious - reminded me of a sugar waffle cone, but softer. I like that it is compact (packed in my pocket easily)and high cals for the energy. I don't like trail snacks that make me feel "full" so this product was perfect for me.
Mike B
Tasty, Great Texture
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Unlike many bike foods, these have a great mouthfeel and food texture, not unlike real food. The downside is that in a jersey or bag, they can crumble a little. Not a deterrent agains these, though. I believe that it is a welcome relieve to have bike food that is not a gel, goo, gummy or block of bird-food like substance. It is food, so everyone is different. If you and your GI tract likes it, that is super for you.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I preface this review as I do all of my reviews...this is my opinion, not objective fact.
The Stinger Waffle stands above all as my favorite "energy" food! I have tried the Honey, Vanilla and Chocolate and love them all! They are easy to pack in a hydration pack or in a jersey pocket and, especially on a long ride, provide a nice alternative to gels. Obviously, they will not provide the (more) immediate boost a gel does but it is a net push as they taste so much better. Did I mention that they taste great? SO good. I have Belgian and Dutch friends that proclaim these are almost as good as the stroop waffles they find at home. Try them, I expect you will like them!

How To Eat A Honey Stinger Waffle
Sarah D.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Honey Stingers are great! Easy to eat and great flavor. However, they are not very filling. I would reccommend taking a couple on a ride/adventure with you. They also are very easy to break, so it really sticks when half of it falls on the ground when you are trying to eat it. My favorite flavor is strawberry, but really, all the flavors are great.
Kristin R
When you're sick of slurping down gels..
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'll be the first to say it: gels and chews are great! Let's be honest though, there are only so many you can take before even the thought of one makes you feel sick. When that happens, these are an awesome alternative for energy on the go! The waffles are soft and chewy, and they make you feel like you are eating actual food, rather than sugary energy syrup. Small enough to be portable, yet substantial enough to give you that burst of energy you need, these tasty waffles are a great option for a day on the go.
Taste great.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Melt in your mouth goodness, chewing optional. Original honey is my favorite flavor
How do these hold up in the heat? Do they...
How do these hold up in the heat? Do they get sticky in the package, thus getting hands sticky? How about during winter activities, how solid/hard do they get?
Bill Porreca
In the heat they get malleable not sticky though by any means. In the cold they freeze pretty easily like all food. I usually will stick it under my arm pit for a minute until I feel like my teeth can handle it.
Chris Luna
Delicate Cookie Like Snack
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bought these from a LBS in town before a ride 1 day. Let me tell you that this is my favorite tasting trail snack EVER! Only gripe is the higher amount of fat can slow the digestion process down a tad but I still feel these give me great energy and you can't beat the taste. When I need pure quick energy with no fillers I go for Stinger Chews. Originally tried the honey flavor first and now I'm hooked on the vanilla.
Harrison H
Easy Real Food Go-To
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I took a chance on a box of these in Lemon. Never had them before. They turned out to be my favorite riding food. I don't ride often, so it took me a while to finish the box. Now they are back on sale and I'm picking up some more - this time I'm trying the new Gingersnap flavor.
The Lemon was easy on my stomach. So much so I could eat one (and did) right before a long run and didn't feel bad during the run from eating. Considering how woozy I was getting, it was a great thing I had one with me that day.
The waffle itself is great. Apart from being individually packaged and ready to stuff in a jersey pocket for consumption miles from home, they taste wonderful and feel like actual food, instead of slurping down gels. I like gels, but real food is better. I'll save the gels for later in the ride.
Additional bonus: They're marvelous consumed with coffee as a sweet snack.
and how was the gingersnap flavor? I've only had the vanilla. I'm not typically a fan of vanilla, but they were not bad. I just picked up a couple "honey" flavor. Not tried them. I want to try gingersnap but my local stores didnt have them.
Harrison H
Well, to be honest I keep forgetting that I have a box of these, and thus none have made it into my back pocket for a ride. I saw this question and so I decided to eat one sitting here. Initial impression: tastes like bread --- OH WOW GINGER. Unfortunately, I failed to recall that I am not a huge fan of ginger, but these are different in a good way. They have a strong ginger taste that lingers just a tad. If you like ginger, these are for you. For me, I see them as a great way to break up the monotony of the usual foods I consume on rides. Granted I don't ride far enough to justify eating on the ride often (I don't follow "the rules", I just don't want to be eating a $1 waffle every ride, that adds up), but these could provide a variety to any general food on a ride. Most food/drinks seem to be berry/fruit flavored and/or vanilla, chocolate, coffee. Throwing ginger in with the mix really helps to keep my palate interested. Based on its taste, I can see how these gingersnap waffles could be used in desserts. If I can remember, I'll break one out for breakfast and steam it over some coffee. I also plan on packing away a few for a hiking trip I'm going on soon.
I'm a vanilla fan. When/if these go back on sale, I might pick up a box of those or just regular honey flavor. Gingersnap is great, but I want to sample more. I don't mind eating throw a box even if I'm not a huge fan of it.

On September 15, GWC and the WASH Advocacy Initiative convened a panel of experts for a webinar on concrete options for post implementation monitoring and evaluation of water and sanitation projects. Discussion covered three leading means of monitoring: circuit rider programs, an accountability forum and remote monitoring.
Below are the questions that were asked during the webinar. Please click below to continue the conversation!
Is there more information on the details of the monitoring the Vietnam handwashing program?
The Ligue Magnus is France's
The Ligue Magnus is France's elite ice hockey league. There are a number of Canadian born players in the league but nearly all are from the french speaking province of Quebec. For the 2009-10 season, five alumni of the Ontario Hockey League played in the Ligue Magnus. http://www.scorespro.com/soccer/france/ligue-1/
How do 'we' ensure these databases such as IBNET continue to be updated by utilities and what will happen to the database when the donor funding ends?
Can you explain how the FLOW data collection program works?
You can see some background, and FLOW in action, at http://watermapmonitordev.appspot.com/.
What are the typical qualifications and background of Circuit Riders?
Circuit Riders in Honduras are provided an intensive 4 week training program per year in three core areas: Technical, Administration and Community Involvement. However, the minimum requirements to hire a Circuit Rider are basic plumbing and disinfection knowledge, background on how to fix water problems, ability or experience to install/construct/repair water infrastructure, field water analysis, and so on. Also, understanding on rate, charges, billing, fee collection, bookkeeping and basic financial knowledge, and finally some experience on community building.
What is the daily cost per capita/connection/system and is it the system cost or the circuit rider cost? Who pays for big breakdowns (are costs recovered?) and the original subsidies?
Water services are not free. Participating communities pay in order to ensure that their water system functions properly. This service includes piping water from the water source, water distribution, disinfection and technical assistance. Prices change depending mainly on the water system type and the number of connections. For example, gravity feed systems are typically cheaper than systems that must use electricity and a water pump. A monthly fee is usually about one to two dollars per household. The water board is responsible for the collecting and administration of monthly fees.
The initial subsidy comes from a various sources including small and large foundation grants, small family foundation grants, corporate donations, charitable organizations and individual donors.
For circuit riders, are 4 to 6 visits per site per year consistent across countries and type of water treatment systems? Do you see the number of site visits per year decrease as the local community becomes more proficient in managing their treatment systems?
No, the number of visits (4-6 times) per site is an average. The more organized is the water associations the less the frequency and time the Circuit Riders spend in that community, and the other way around. Circuit Riders spend more time providing technical assistance in newly affiliated communities and less to those that have been affiliated to the program longer.
Would be interested in how quality of service provided by circuit riders to communities is ensured i.e. what kinds of quality control measures are employed?
The Circuit Rider program follows the National Drinking Water Regulations. In the case of Honduras and El Salvador, the standards are set by the Ministry of Public Health including bacteriological quality of the water, appropriate chlorine levels, and so on.
You mentioned that interest and funding for the circuit rider model is waning. Why do you think this is and how can this be energized on the local level, co-finance from local, regional, national governments?
For a number of reasons, the Circuit Rider Program has struggled to receive and maintain sustainable funding. The current economic recession and the political climate are some of the most significant. To some extent, the vulnerability of the Circuit Rider program was realized in 2009, when the political unrest and economic downturn in Honduras led many donors to withdraw from projects in the country – an action that has had lasting deleterious effects on many local NGO's.
The Circuit Rider program seeks to address this long-term structural weakness by laying the groundwork for at least 60% community financing for the program itself. The program is envisioned as a public-private partnership that provides a service that community water boards and users will be willing to pay for through a membership and tariff structure because they tangibly see and feel the value of services provided to them through the Circuit Rider program. Also, a market based mechanisms called "Water Bank" has been created with the purpose to recover some of the implementation expenses.
The circuit rider system seems to address the "scattered projects" issue - what are Erick's thoughts about how to make that a locally-organized approach, and not run by an outside org?
Since 2009, in Honduras we piloted the sector coordinator approach utilizing trained community members (SWCs) to provide many of the services that had been provided by traditional Circuit Riders in the past. This has resulted in a lower cost structure for both salaries and transportation without negatively impacting services provided. We expect to achieve significant economies of scale as the program is ramped up and reaches more communities. Based on experience and lessons learned, the proposed program is designed to be as lean as is possible while delivering a low-cost yet high quality service.
In addition to that, a market based program called the "Water Bank" provides products and services to local utilities became a source of internally produced revenue. The Water Banks projects the potential to generate significantly more income – up to 50% of the Circuit Rider's operating budget -- from Water Banks sales by fully exploiting the demand for chlorine products in served communities and other retail clients. An increase in income from the Water Banks could help subsidize the costs of the Circuit Rider program, lowering the burden on communities.
For the Accountability Forum, How will you determine which sites gets visited for evaluation to avoid cherry-picking sites by the org under evaluation?
Of course this is a very important question for the Forum as well as for any organization's routine monitoring - to try and get a truly representative sampling of projects to help provide information about trends in project outcomes. There's also the on-the-ground reality of needing to make sure communities have enough advance warning of our visit that we aren't visiting on a local market day (when many people might be absent) or their desire to be accommodating of visitors and cook us chicken soup. This is a protocol that Forum Members are currently discussing in preparation for our December pilot Forum in Honduras, so it's not set in stone. But here is how we currently do it at Water 1st and what we have put out there for comment by other Forum Members to react to as we develop the protocol for site selection in December:
1. The organization to be evaluated will send us their body of work a few weeks before the forum which will include information on each project (type of project, date completed, number of beneficiaries/participants, location, current status if known, etc)
2. Then forum members and the evaluator will participate in a random selection of sites to visit which represent a range of projects
3. We will inform the organization to be evaluated which projects we have selected for evaluation with only enough lead time for the community to prepare for our visit. In the case of Honduras, the organization to be evaluated in this pilot Forum has asked for 1-2 days lead time to get a message to the community so that key people (like the committee) are present. So, in 1-2 days they can probably do some quick fixes on projects if needed, but we believe it will be pretty hard for them to perform major repairs on any one project or perform quick fixes on all the projects we intend to visit.
4. We also like to visit one project that an organization has identified as an example of its best project. You can learn a lot as an evaluator seeing the one "cherry picked" project. So in addition to the random selection of sites, we have suggested to the Forum to include one site that the organization being evaluated has selected for us.
What are specific examples of the remote monitoring tools, how they are installed and work, and what is the investment required to implement remote monitoring?
One of the fundamental questions in all of this is that of governance – who is monitoring what and how is this integrated? For example, it is not uncommon to find 3, 4, 5 or more monitoring efforts in one (small) geographic area – central government, local government, international NGOs, local civil society groups. How can we address this situation?
My initial reaction is that this is not a situation that I have encountered. The overwhelming reality seems to be that there is too little monitoring, not too much being done at too many levels. I would be interested in seeing the place that has too many overlapping groups doing monitoring (Isn't there a statistic we all quote that says less than 5% of projects are visited after the ribbon-cutting ceremony?).
Having made that comment, I think there is value in involving all those groups in monitoring. Coordinating that process would be important. I wouldn't want communities overrun with multiple visits from groups that don't know what the other is doing. These people have a lot to do to keep food on the table and a roof over their head. Their time should be honored. Incidentally, that seems like another good argument for convening Accountability Forums. All those groups can participate together using the same monitoring protocol.
The focus has been on monitoring water scheme functionality, but I wonder about how groups attempt to monitor behavior change over time. Eric, you mention that your group monitors behavioral change outcomes (e.g. handwashing, latrine use)? Can anyone share examples of how you do this and what the result has been?
This is a great question/observation. It is essential to monitor all the critical components of your program. If you believe that your program is about changing attitudes and structures within a community, your monitoring protocol better include some method of measuring those changes. Many organizations don't include those items because they seem too qualitative and we are overly focused on quantitative measures when we talk about monitoring.
Or maybe some organizations simply don't value the hygiene practices/toilets portion as much as the water supply. By actually monitoring those elements, we might find that our accomplishments on those elements aren't as good as the water side. Learning that could drive us to make some adjustments.
At Water 1st, we've found that household visits are the only way to really ascertain what is happening with hygiene education and toilets. We can make simple observations that give us some information about hygiene behaviors - is soap present, is the water container covered, are animals kept out of the house, is chlorine present, is the toilet being used. Interviews with family members are very instructive and allow us to ask qualitative questions that I believe get past people telling us what they think we want to hear - questions like, "what has been the most difficult hygiene behavior change to implement in your household?"
In our experience, especially in rural areas, it's clear that our project participants are most interested in a convenient, safe water supply and toilets and hygiene education may not fall anywhere on their priority list. So, this is an area of our work that is challenging in many ways. Anyone in our culture who has ever wanted to change a habit (diet, exercise, smoking, etc.) knows that that knowledge is not enough. Having information can be very different from applying it. In the case of safe hygiene behaviors, people tend to know more than they practice.
All very interesting - would be interesting to think of some kind of support via Facebook type social networks so that monitoring continues indefinitely. Of course this could only work in sufficiently electrified areas.
Is there a place for qualitative evaluation in WASH? Is anyone doing it? What does it look like?
We use qualitative evaluation as much as quantitative evaluation, mainly to gauge consumer satisfaction. We believe if consumers are satisfied, they are more likely, for example, to pay a fee for their water, which means the community has funds to pay for ongoing operations and maintenance of the water system. We also use qualitative questions to learn more about the hygiene education program - to learn if it was valued by the participants and also if information from hygiene educators was disseminated and retained.
Our qualitative questions are ones like, "Do you like the water system?", "How has this project benefited you, benefited your family?", "If you could start the project over again, what would you change?" "Do you like the taste of the water?", "Was the hygiene education program helpful?", "What hygiene practices were the easiest to adopt?", "What hygiene education practices are the most difficult to adopt?", "Is the water fee reasonable?", "Do you feel the water management committee is doing a good job?", "Do you think the community has adequate training to operate/maintain your water system?"
These are questions that lead us into longer conversations. After asking a question , we usually have a follow-up based on the answer so that we can get the most information possible. It means we have to be nimble, experienced and patient in the field, so we can adjust how we are asking questions in order to try and understand a consumer's experience with the project.
In doing evaluations, especially using qualitative questions, it also really helps that Water 1st makes long-term, regional commitments to our in-country partners. When we approach households, we are able to put the evaluations in the context of our desire to improve project implementation for the next community and the next. I believe that puts households at ease. We are not given them an examination with right/wrong answers to our questions. Our reason for being there is that we value their help in guiding improvements to our program.
Ideally, who should actually be leading post-implementation monitoring efforts and how can we make the shift?
The answer to that question is: It Depends. One purpose of monitoring is program improvement - trying to continually improve what you are doing. This is complex work and nobody is achieving perfect outcomes. We can all identify a number of areas that can improve. When program improvement is the goal, every organization should be doing its own post-implementation monitoring. I think the first shift that needs to be made is that everyone needs to routinely monitor their outcomes. If you aren't currently monitoring, then start small (monitoring the program outcomes you feel are most important) and build from experience. If groups need help with the logistics and protocols, something like the Accountability Forum can be extremely helpful. Rather than every organization having to reinvent the evaluation and monitoring wheel, the Forum can provide guidance regarding what to monitor and how to monitor it as well as provide actual experience using the tools in the field.
A second purpose of monitoring is accountability. How do we demonstrate to external stakeholders that we actually practice the concepts and ideals that we espouse? When this is the objective, the monitoring should have significant third-party involvement. We shouldn't be filling out our own report cards. We are asking for organizations who are already conveners of the water and sanitation sector and champions of greater sustainability of project outcomes (like GWC) to consider being the leader of the Forum in the future so that it can be an independent group and accommodate organizations working worldwide in a variety of programs and settings.

One Republic sounded absolutely amazing on the 40th Annual People's Choice Awards! We were so blown away by their performance of 'Counting Stars', a hit off their third album, 'Native.'
Ryan Tedder led One Republic in a flawless performance on January 8 at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles for the People's Choice Awards! Their song "Counting Stars" got everyone hyped up during the show — and it's no surprise; it's one of their most popular songs ever!
One Republic's Performance At People's Choice Awards
The band has continually wow'd us with their talent. Their third album Native came out in March 2013, and debuted on the Billboard top 400 chart at No. 4!
The stage and the band's outfits were bully black, but the crowd was on their feet jamming out — it wasn't at all dull.
This song in articular peaked at no. two on Billboard's Hot 100, making it their third US top-ten hit!
"OneRepublic is one of the hottest bands out there today, and we are excited that they are going to perform for us on the People's Choice Awards," Mark Burnett, Executive Producer , said in a press release, according to Newsok.com. "I am personally a huge fan of the band and I am also working with Ryan Tedder on The Voice, so it's all OneRepublic, all the time, and we are thrilled they agreed to come on board for the show."
Ryan, who has worked with amazing artists like Adele, Beyonce and Ellie Goulding, said in a recent interview that landing no. one on the UK charts with his band was the best moment for him!
"I've had a number of Number ones with other artists, but never one with this band. This is where I spend most of my time; these guys [guitarists Zach Filkins and Drew Brown, bassist Brent Kutzle and drummer Eddie Fisher] are like my brothers and we've been everywhere and back. This is the highlight of the year, it's by far the coolest thing that's happened to us in recent memory," he told officialcharts.com.
We absolutely loved their performance — what did you think, HollywoodLifers?

Safe Routes to School Projects are thriving around the world. In this sixty minute webinar we will learn about two different international programs.
First, Jacky Kennedy, Director of Canada Walks will introduce Canada's School Travel Planning Project. This program, originally tested in four provinces and disseminated to 120 schools in every part of Canada, created a detailed, step-by-step guide for building a comprehensive, community-based active school travel program.
Next, Dr. Catherine O'Brien, who is working in partnership with the Canada Walks School Travel Planning Project, will discuss her fascinating research on "sustainable happiness." This concept links walking and biking to individual, community, and global well-being. It provides further compelling evidence of the benefits of walking and biking to school.
Finally, Gary Shipp, Schools, Children and Young People Co-Coordinator from Sustrans in the United Kingdom, will describe how his organization's approach is a community-centered one that builds on small steps to gradually change travel behavior. Sustrans' goal is to get the whole school community involved and motivated in the program so that sustainable and active travel becomes part of the culture of the community for future generations
This webinar is part of the SRTS Webinar Series, developed by America Walks and the National Center for Safe Routes to School. For more information: firstname.lastname@example.com

If you've paid attention to the presidential campaign season, you've no doubt been entertained by the string of embarrassments and gaffes: Rick Perry blows the voting age! Herman Cain can't remember what to say about Libya! Mitt Romney talks about the upside of a murderous dictatorship!
In the November 22 debate, Romney gave this answer to a question about what to do about Pakistan:
We don't want to just pull up stakes and get out of town after the enormous output we've just made for the region. Look at Indonesia in the '60s. We helped them move toward modernity. We need to help bring Pakistan into the 21st century, or the 20th, for that matter.
That's an astonishing comment–and one that was hardly noticed in the corporate media.
To people who were paying attention, Romney would seem to have been praising the reign of Indonesian dictator Suharto, who took power in the mid-'60s. As Ed Herman wrote in Extra! (9-10/98):
Suharto's overthrow of the Sukarno government in 1965-66 turned Indonesia from Cold War "neutralism" to fervent anti-Communism, and wiped out the Indonesian Communist Party–exterminating a sizable part of its mass base in the process, in widespread massacres that claimed at least 500,000 and perhaps more than a million victims. The U.S. establishment's enthusiasm for the coup-cum-mass murder was ecstatic (see Chomsky and Herman, Washington Connection and Third World Fascism); "almost everyone is pleased by the changes being wrought," New York Times columnist C.L. Sulzberger commented (4/8/66).
Suharto quickly transformed Indonesia into an "investors' paradise," only slightly qualified by the steep bribery charge for entry. Investors flocked in to exploit the timber, mineral and oil resources, as well as the cheap, repressed labor, often in joint ventures with Suharto family members and cronies. Investor enthusiasm for this favorable climate of investment was expressed in political support and even in public advertisements; e.g., the full-page ad in the New York Times (9/24/92) by Chevron and Texaco entitled "Indonesia: A Model for Economic Development."
The Progressive's Matt Rothschild called Romney's answer the "most outrageous comment of the whole debate," noting that the "new leadership" he referred to was a dictator "who killed between 500,000 and 1 million of his own citizens with the help of the CIA. A little follow up from Wolf Blitzer would have been nice there."
One of the only other journalists to catch this was Dan Murphy of the Christian Science Monitor, who spent a decade reporting from Indonesia. As Murphy wrote,the 1960s saw
the systematic destruction of Indonesia's nascent democratic institutions and political parties (which had already been taking a beating under Sukarno); state repression of opponents with torture, targeted killings and long jail terms; and a military-backed dictatorship that persisted until a popular uprising in 1998 pushed Suharto, finally, from power.
The first sentence of Murphy's piece was "I don't generally write about U.S. politics." Indeed. Hundreds of journalists who spend every day writing about U.S. politics apparently did not find it newsworthy that Romney endorsed a bloody dictatorship.

Hi dear Deb, thank goodness you were able to save things, and had back-ups on CD's! It just goes to show how important it is to back-up important things on a CD in case your comp. crashes! Happy you're doing better this week, and a trip to the Cape with your hubby sounds like a fantastic getaway!! Before you know it, school will be starting again. |
Hi my Angel sisters, I'm sorry to come in line while in valley days, but I just wanted to let you know that all of you are in my prayers, Donna Thanks so much for the garden, the one I have for Solange and all of our Angel kids, had been kind of ugly, because we has had so much rain lately that its incredible, and the wind does not help, for the last 3 days Miami looks like London in the winter except for the cold,please let us know how is Shar and you doing, you know I love you both, Deb, that is so nice that you are taking some days to go to the Cape, when I used to live in NY I will go to the Cape, it is so nice up there, I tried to web site but could not get through, but I promise I will keep on trying, all I had after many trys was Yahoo and another weird site, Verna, you are keeping very quiet and everythime that happens I (we) worry about you my dear sister, Lisa, you are in my mind and prayers, when Solange's birthday came after she was called to Heaven, I had a mass on her name, her friends came and we let out 21 balloons up into the air after mass, everybody sign some message (including myself) in the balloons, Dec 7 she would have been 21 years old, and it was so nice to see all those balloons disapeared into the sky that even the priest cried, that's a sugestion, maybe next Dec 7, I will go to a park or to the beach and do the samething, just let your heart decide. Sandy my dear sister, I'm still not crying and it is getting to be toooooo much to handle, I have an apptn with my pshycho on friday, maybe she will help me on this, in the meantime I am praying hard, and on top of it I am feeling guilty about not crying, am I going nuts? I hope so, maybe this way if I can go out of reality, this might help, well in the meantime I will keep on praying and remember everything I do and try I will do it in the name of God, He put me through this and I know He will help me go through it. I love you all my sisters, and I really mean that. Selva |

Dearest Angel Moms, I like to tell you of something that happened to Mikey in 1989 Mikey faced his first life and death crisis and something beautiful came from this awful experience on June 2 he had major surgery it was high risk he weighed 65 lbs and his spleen was so enlarged and liver that they pushed his stomach up they met in the middle he survived after weeks of being in ICU then two months later he got a strep infection in his blood the nite we stood bedside he was dying and we didn't have the answers as to why but when he recovered he told me what happened that night he saw all that was happening though he was unconcious and then saw the light and met an Angel called Michael and I prayed if God was to take him I would be strong but in my heart sometime that nite my heart was saying don't leave me not by words but in my heart Mikey heard those words and his Angel Michael said you have a choice someone is calling you or you can come with me when Mikey chose to return his Angel told him I will carry your pain Mikey you will not shoulder it alone It was my heart who said those words not my mind or mouth but my heart. What I'm trying to say Our children hear our Hearts not our words but our hearts the next time Mikey saw his Angel Michael was three days before he died the Wed before Easter at this point of his journey Mikey spent alot of time in a comatose state His Angel met him and when Mikey saw him Mikey cried out Michael what is wrong and he said I'm so tired the pain you have gone through has tired me but Mikey YOU WILL NOT BE ALONE WHEN YOU DIE I WILL BE WITH YOU. Mikey regained conciousness on Good Friday as though nothing had ever happened smiling and Perky but weak but he told me this to tell others, I know many of you are seaking answers It is OUR Hearts that are heard not our thoughts or words but Our deepest heart speaks to them I know to some it seems to bizare but I hope it reaches You to know Our Children hear Our Hearts I Pray somehow this will bring you comfort, hope the belief that death is not final no matter how awful. Why am I writing this because there is mourning that our children are so far away, they aren't no matter how awful the grief they Hear Our Hearts they know your innermost feelings that can not be expressed out Loud so as you are seeking answers I Pray God will touch your heart and open a door that isn't closed just hidden and they know the grief the longing and most importantly OUR Love I Pray for all seeking answers that God does allow this Beautiful Love to remain that it transcends the door we experience here on earth, God may not grant our answers as we would like but he answers OUR Love for Love is enduring Forever I Pray this will help someone to find a measure of God's Peace and an answer to YOUR HEART. Love&Hope Donna |
My dear Angel sister, I Thank God that He hears our prayers, and that Shar is doing much better, for sure that I (we) will continue to pray for you and her, I am sure that she will be fine. Thank You for sharing that beautiful story, I was not able to cry for so many days, and today I did when I read your story, Thank you my sister, I needed to know that, specially from you that I believe everyword you said, i have been reading so much about near Death Experiences lately and I needed to believe it, now I do , Thanks to you. God Bless you my sister, and tell Shar that we will be storming Heaven with prayers from our hearts. Love. Selva |

Dear Angel Moms - just wanted to stop by and let you all know that, even though I don't post her much, you and your angels are ALL in my thoughts & Prayers only. We're putting the leukemia benefit together (for September) and I'm stressing about it. Ms. V. I did get to post at Diane's site for her birthday but I'm sorry it was a few days late. |
Dear Angel Moms, ~ Thanks for all the love, prayers, fwd pages and posts at Diane's memorial site. It really warms my heart to be surrounded with all the love and support, especially during this month. As we all know, it is this kind of support that helps us to get through the valley days. So, thanks again for being there. A friend of ours whom we have known since he was a child, lost his wife on Diane's birthday. He called to inform us around 10 PM that night. David was not home, therefore, I was the one to hear about it on the phone. I had made it through the day, but the news of his wife dying on Diane's birthday really set me back a bit. Although I did not know her as a close friend, I still could not help morn her passing, and it really brought back some very vivid sad memories of the first anniversary of Diane's passing. As some of you may recall from past posts, it was on the first anniversary of Diane's passing that I woke up to the news of Princess Diana's passing. It was around the same time of night that I learned what happened. So, I have been spending a lot of time keeping busy, and making sure I don't allow this to overshadow the fond memories and fond times I shared with Diane. With school starting, I will be helping with the grand kids and homework again. That always has a way of brightening up my days, so I am sure that, along with your prayers, will help me make it through the remaining days leading up to and including Diane's 7th anniversary, Aug. 31th. Lisa, Diane's birthday was Aug. 16th. I understand how hard it is to keep up with all the special days, so don't feel bad. I am always afraid that I will forget someone's special day. At one time, I had made an effort to try and make a list of all the special days to share with everyone. I am thinking of trying to do that again soon ... Please know that I will always keep all of you in my prayers daily; So, if I miss someone's special day, it will not be intentional and you and your angel will still be covered in my prayers. I will try hard to get back on later tonight to check up on everyone. Much love and bear hugs, |

Our dear Donna, what another trial for you and dear Shar to go through, Praise God that she's alright!! What a worry for you, with Shar being that ill. If all our collective prayers for her brought her back from the edge, what a wonderful, awesome God we have that hears our hearts and answers our petitions with His great love. Thank you Father for hearing the prayers of all, for Shar and our Donna, who is ever faithful to pray for all of us, we thank You and love You, through Your Son, Our Lord and Saviour Jesus! Amen. |

Hello dear Miss V, you're so right, with all the special days for all dear Angel Moms here, (and the way my memory is!), I mark them all down. Nobody here would intentionally forget a special day, it's just there's so many of them now, sadly. |

Gotta run and take care of some shopping, but will try to come back on later tonight. Take care everyone. |

Ah, dear Donna, thanks for the update, no, Shar having COPD and living with Jan who smokes is not good, but it's a tough situation, unless she agrees to smoke outside?? Or perhaps you could purchase one of those Hepa filter machines that cleans the air, just something to think about. Anyway, don't worry about us, our continued prayers for you and Shar, and always in our love. |

This production has been rated PG-13 for language.
David O. Selznick, famed Hollywood producer, has a crisis. He's three weeks into shooting his latest epic, Gone With the Wind, but the script just isn't working. His solution? Fire the director, pull Victor Fleming off The Wizard of Oz, and lock himself, Fleming and scrip doctor Ben Hecht in his office for 5 days until they have a screenplay that works.
With only peanuts and bananas to fuel them, they work through and act out Margaret Mitchell's novel and in the process make movie history – an on heck of a funny play.
