The first thing I noticed when I stopped by the VAR booth at the Philly Expo a couple weeks back was this weird looking tool. I'd never seen one like it before so naturally I inquired as to it's use. The knowledge that was bestowed upon was so profound it nearly brought me to my knees..
Behold, VAR tool #352, the crank bolt installation tool:
If like myself, it's existence has escaped you til now, you know all to well the sting of battered and bleeding knuckles from installing or removing many a chainring..
As if discovering such an amazing tool wasn't enough, I only had to shell out $40 bones for it!
I literally couldn't stop playing with it and showing it to everyone I talked to for the rest of the day. Most everyone had the same jubilant reaction to it and it's price. Pretty sure VAR sold the few they had left that day, hehe. There's also a newer version which features a combination head that can switch back and forth from Campy style Torx bolts and Allen key. I think they were selling that one for $60 (#PE-35500 p25)
I cannot wait for the next time I have to change out a chain ring!
Be sure to check out their full catalogue here and larger screen saver sized images here..

Montana farmers pull beet crop earlier after freezeBILLINGS, Mont. — After being frozen out in 2009, area sugar beet farmers are harvesting early this year and hoping to get the most out of historically sweet market prices.
By: Tom Lutey, Billings Gazette
BILLINGS, Mont. — After being frozen out in 2009, area sugar beet farmers are harvesting early this year and hoping to get the most out of historically sweet market prices.
Beet dumps that dot the region's secondary roads are piling up with crops about a month earlier than usual. And the Western Sugar Cooperative refinery in Billings is going full tilt at a time of year when normally it would just be warming up.
That's because farmers were eager to get the harvest going after a bizarre four-day freeze last October extensively damaged area sugar beets. Montana farmers left about $10 million in beet profits frozen in the ground last year. Wyoming losses were closer to $12 million.
Mike Hofer, vice president of agriculture for Western Sugar, said getting the beets out of the ground earlier this year was a no-brainer.
"In the past, there has been no regional interest. This year interest is strong," said Hofer.
Sugar beets were traditionally harvested in October for several reasons.
They had another month to grow and their sugar content was often better.
But more importantly, they came out of the ground cooler in October, which meant they stored better when piled out in the open. Being piled during cool fall days didn't hurt either.
Warm beets spoil quickly. And just like apples in a barrel, it takes just one bad beet to spoil a bunch. To minimize spoilage and still get the harvest under way, Western's beet dumps are taking turns so the beets are piled only briefly before heading to the factory, Hofer said.
On the farm, that means only so many beets can be harvested before the local pile is ruled full and the harvest is put on pause. Ervin Schlemmer of Joliet had his turn early last week. By Wednesday he was waiting while farmers at another beet dump got their turn. It's a different way of doing things, Schlemmer said, but if Western beats the weather, it will be worth it.
There's ample incentive to get as many beets as possible out of the ground this year. Sugar prices are surging as global worries of crop failure become realized. Brazil, the world's largest sugar producer, is scaling back its crop estimates because of damage. Australia, the world's third largest sugar exporter is also reporting crop damage. In response, commodities futures have gone up as much as 23 cents a pound in recent days.
In U.S. markets, crystal sugar is also experiencing a renaissance as high fructose corn syrup loses popularity with American consumers. The Wall Street Journal reports that American consumption of high fructose corn syrup is at a 20-year low because consumers believe the syrup to be more harmful and more likely to cause obesity than crystal sugar. High fructose corn syrup has been the main sweetener for soda and other products since the 1970s.
Now food manufacturers are turning back to crystal sugar for major products, including Hunt's Ketchup.
Corn sweetener companies are quick to point out there is no evidence crystal sugar is any healthier than high fructose corn syrup. And last week the Corn Refiners Association asked the federal government for permission to begin calling high fructose corn syrup "corn sugar" instead.
Beet growers couldn't be happier to see crystal sugar make a comeback. And regional crop yields have been excellent, Hofer said. While other growers in the West have to battle weather problems, Montana farmers this year expect good yields.
"In Montana, we're looking at a 32-ton crop" per acre Hofer said. "Our yields have only gone up. Our cooperative is 10 years old this year. To put that in perspective, 10 years ago we had a 22-ton crop."
The beet harvest hasn't started in many parts of Wyoming yet. Cal Jones of Wyoming Sugars confirmed that his growers were sticking with October, while other farmers reported deferring harvest after having to replant. The sugar beet production forecast is 21 percent above 2009. Wyoming sugar beet farmers expect to harvest 818,000 tons of beets.

Bobby Brown to Serve 55 Days in Jail After Third DUI
Bobby Brown, 44, was sentenced to 55 days in jail, TMZ reports, plus four years probation, and an 18-month alcohol program, following his third DUI arrest.
Last October, Bobby was charged with DUI and driving on a suspended license — his license had been suspended after a previous DUI conviction in 2012. He was also convicted in 1996.
Bobby has to report to jail by March 20. In the meantime, he has to attend three Alcoholic Anonymous meetings a week.
Maybe this will be just what he needs to get his life together and prevent a fourth DUI.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 31 January 2013 08:00AM
As befits somebody with a lifelong obsession for travel, Abi Comber led a peripatetic childhood. Although born in Ossett near Wakefield in Yorkshire, she spent the first ten years of her life in the Middle East, where her father was working in the construction industry. She remained on the move even after the family's return to the UK, living in the North, the Midlands and Essex before going to study business and finance at college in Manchester.
Having set her heart on a career in travel, she put aside plans to go to Durham University aged 19 to work in telesales for British Airways Holidays at Manchester Airport. "Speaking to customers every day helped me understand so many different aspects of the travel business," she says.
Her switch from sales to marketing came at Manx Airlines, later to become part of BA's empire. She came back under BA's wing in 2002 and has since held a number of senior marketing roles. They have included running the airline's sponsorship activities and leading its first forays into digital activity. She became BA's marketing chief in January 2012, replacing Kerris Bright.
More than two decades have elapsed since British Airways first dubbed itself "the world's favourite airline" and Abi Comber, BA's head of brands and marketing, could never imagine such a boast being repeated.
Not because such a claim would have a hollow ring to it – but because it is no longer relevant, she believes.
"Being everyone's favourite airline doesn't mean people will choose you every time," she says. "There's always going to be a trade-off between financial and time pressures.
"We have to demonstrate that we have substance and that we deliver things for a reason. Proving our relevance to travellers is much more important to us."
Such a pragmatic approach is born of what has been a turbulent decade for BA as it battled what has been described as "the unforgiving economics of modern aviation". Only two years ago, it posted its biggest-ever loss of more than £500 million.
The dismal figures came as rocketing fuel prices, depressed consumer confidence resulting from the eurozone crisis and the chaos caused by the ash cloud from an Icelandic volcano in 2010 took their toll. Meanwhile, a protracted dispute between BA and its cabin crew, along with the fiasco of the Terminal 5 opening, severely damaged public perceptions.
Today, BA is looking significantly more airworthy. It delivered a small operating profit of £13 million at the beginning of 2012 and has committed £5 billion to improving its customer experience offering, including an internal programme to inspire pride in the brand among its staff.
At the same time, the airline seems to have been successful in buffing up its image.
"Our sense is that we've got our mojo back," Comber declares. "And we think our customers have noticed it too."
The turning point seems to have been the launch of the "To fly. To serve" campaign by Bartle Bogle Hegarty, for which Comber was responsible and which was cited by BA as a "stake in the ground" for future growth.
The motto, which first appeared in the 70s, was adopted as the campaign's theme after a BA pilot referred to it during a focus group session.
"It isn't an ad line," Comber insists. "It's a promise to our customers – and you can't just walk away from a promise like that."
She defends the campaign against criticism that it was too nostalgic. "It was important to look back because we should be proud of our heritage," she argues. "But you can't rest on it. I think the work has loosened up in terms of creativity and in our tone since then. We've become more approachable."
For Comber, BA's sponsorship of London 2012, for which it paid an estimated £40 million, was indicative of the airline's returning self-belief. So was the "don't fly" campaign, a tongue-in-cheek initiative suggesting people should stay at home to support Team GB athletes.
Ironically, the "don't fly" campaign almost didn't. Comber remembers BBH's reluctance to present the idea to her several months earlier because the agency thought she would not buy it.
"Of all the ideas, it was the only one I considered and got emotional about," she remembers. "I thought it would do exactly what we wanted, and that was to make people stop and consider our brand."
"Don't fly" was part of the broader "home advantage" strategy that embraced a wide range of marketing activities, including a huge image of Jessica Ennis that was visible from planes as passengers descended into Heathrow.
"We wanted our customers to back us backing them," she explains. "We didn't want to be seen as cynically promoting our product."
Nevertheless, the airline claims that its Olympics sponsorship resulted in the highest public awareness of the brand in five years and doubled the levels of TV ad awareness.
The longer-term significance of BA's Olympics association, however, is the extent to which it took the company further into the digital space. One interactive initiative, an extension of the "don't fly" campaign, allowed viewers to "drive" a BA plane down their own street.
All of this means constant challenges for BBH, the media planning and buying agency ZenithOptimedia and The 12th Floor, the OgilvyOne-led "dream team" of comms specialists that has replaced the roster of small shops previously running BA's global digital business.
Is she a demanding client? "We aim to be a grown-up one that has good agency partners because our reputation is at stake," Comber replies. "But I want our agencies to be constantly challenging my team. If they don't, you have to ask what value they are adding to our business."

First came the squab craze. Then everyone went nuts for grilled fish heads and designer pork rinds. Now all anyone's talking about is 'Nduja, the spicy, spreadable Italian pork sausage. You try your best to keep your restaurant on top of the trends, but right now you feel like always one step behind your competition.
It's hard to keep the trends straight when they change so quickly, but one thing's for sure: there's always going to be a new obsession with some kind of meat, so you need to pick up the all-purpose 8" Butcher Knife (012-8BU) from Dexter-Russell. The high-quality blade and natural hardwood handle makes it the perfect utensil for chopping, cubing or trimming any kind of meat. Let Dexter-Russell give your restaurant the edge it needs in this ever-changing market. With the right tools in your kitchen, you could be driving the trend wagon instead of running in its wake like a nerd that missed the bus.

The Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors will hear a tax abatement request from a representative of Main Street Forest Products at its 9 a.m. Monday meeting at the county courthouse.
In August, Maben-based Main Street Forest Products announced plans to partner with a secondary company, Main Street Casual Living, to produce upholstered furniture and create roughly 62 new jobs. Maben Mayor Larry Pruitt said in December 75-80 percent of these jobs will be created under Main Street Casual Living.
"We got the word that they're about to start hiring in about 30 days," Pruitt said at the end of December. "They did (already) hire some experienced people who have already built some furniture … so they can do some training for the new (employees)."
MSFP operations manager Bob Klimek approached the board of supervisors in regard to the tax abatement request in August for the new project. Board Attorney Jack Brown was absent from the meeting, and supervisors decided to take the matter under consideration.
If granted, a tax abatement would waive ad valorem requirements but not school levies. In August, supervisors said the county could grant Main Street Forest Products a five-year abatement, review the agreement after it expires and then choose to grant another waiver if deemed beneficial to the county.
In connection with MSFP's expansion, the city of Maben also applied for a grant to resurface Maben Industrial Park Road to service new industries in the city.
In other board business, supervisors could also approve a proposal seeking architects for courthouse renovations.
The county recently received an approximate $285,000 grant for repairs, County Administrator Don Posey said, and could use that money to add additional basement storage capacity, provide general improvements — flooring, painting and bathroom compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act — and resurface and restripe the facility's rear parking area.

In the United States, when an unmarried man has a baby, his partner can give it up without his consent—unless he happens to know about an obscure system called the responsible father registry.
Christopher Emanuel first met his girlfriend in the fall of 2012, when they were both driving forklifts at a warehouse in Trenton, South Carolina. She was one of a handful of women on the job; she was white and he was black. She ignored him at first, and Emanuel saw it as a challenge. It took multiple attempts to get her phone number. He says he "wasn't lonely, but everybody wants somebody. Nothing wrong with being friends."
Emanuel, who is now 25, describes himself as a non-discriminatory flirt. He was popular in high school and a state track champion. According to the Aiken High School 2008 yearbook, he was voted "Most Attractive" and "Best Dressed." Even his former English teacher Francesca Pataro describes him as a "ray of sunshine." Emanuel says he's "talked"—euphemistically speaking—with a lot of women: "Black, Puerto Rican, Egyptian, and Vietnamese." But before he met this girlfriend, he says, he had never seriously dated a white girl.
The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here's what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.
What is the Islamic State?
Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State's appeal. "We have not defeated the idea," he said. "We do not even understand the idea." In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as "not Islamic" and as al-Qaeda's "jayvee team," statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.
The troubled relationship between modern Greeks and their neighbors to the north and west—sometime admirers, sometime lenders, sometime detractors—helps explain today's crisis.
Greece is the cradle of European civilization, but is it even in Europe?
The answer might seem obvious: The country is on the European landmass, of course, and it's part of the European Union—for now at least. But the question has been fraught, and the answers have been unstable, contingent, and hedged since before the advent of the modern Greek state in the 19th century. The ongoing negotiations that may ultimately decide Greece's EU membership are just the latest attempt to find an answer.
If you look at old maps of Europe, the Balkan Peninsula is included, but it's labeled as Turkey. That's because there was no independent Greece from the time of the Roman conquest of the country until the 1820s; some parts of modern-day Greece were under Ottoman control into the 20th century. Greek-speaking Ottoman subjects anchored their identity to religion and the Orthodox church, rather than to national identity, and thought of themselves more as Roman than as Hellenic, Molly Greene, a professor of history and Hellenic studies at Princeton, told me. Their cultural center would have been not now-dusty Athens but cosmopolitan Constantinople.
"Here is what I would like for you to know: In America, it is traditional to destroy the black body—it is heritage."
Last Sunday the host of a popular news show asked me what it meant to lose my body. The host was broadcasting from Washington, D.C., and I was seated in a remote studio on the Far West Side of Manhattan. A satellite closed the miles between us, but no machinery could close the gap between her world and the world for which I had been summoned to speak. When the host asked me about my body, her face faded from the screen, and was replaced by a scroll of words, written by me earlier that week.
As the Vermont senator gains momentum, Claire McCaskill rushes to the frontrunner's defense.
Obscured by the recent avalanche of momentous news is this intriguing development from the campaign trail: The Hillary Clinton campaign now considers Bernie Sanders threatening enough to attack. Fresh off news that Sanders is now virtually tied with Hillary in New Hampshire, Claire McCaskill went on Morning Joe on June 25 to declare that "the media is giving Bernie a pass … they're not giving the same scrutiny to Bernie that they're certainly giving to Hillary."
The irony here is thick. In 2006, McCaskill said on Meet the Press that while Bill Clinton was a great president, "I don't want my daughter near him." Upon hearing the news, according to John Heilemann and Mark Halperin's book Game Change, Hillary exclaimed, "Fuck her," and cancelled a fundraiser for the Missouri senator. McCaskill later apologized to Bill Clinton, and was wooed intensely by Hillary during the 2008 primaries. But she infuriated the Clintons again by endorsing Barack Obama. In their book HRC, Aimee Parnes and Jonathan Allen write that, "'Hate' is too weak a word to describe the feelings that Hillary's core loyalists still have for McCaskill."
What compassion does to the brain
In 1992, the neuroscientist Richard Davidson got a challenge from the Dalai Lama. By that point, he'd spent his career asking why people respond to, in his words, "life's slings and arrows" in different ways. Why are some people more resilient than others in the face of tragedy? And is resilience something you can gain through practice?
The Dalai Lama had a different question for Davidson when he visited the Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader at his residence in Dharamsala, India. "He said: 'You've been using the tools of modern neuroscience to study depression, and anxiety, and fear. Why can't you use those same tools to study kindness and compassion?' … I did not have a very good answer. I said it was hard."
As opiate abuse swells in the United States, women are particularly at risk.
Throughout the history of modern medicine, substance-abuse researchers have focused their investigations almost exclusively on men. It wasn't until the 1990s that scientists, prompted by federal funding aimed at enrolling more women in studies, began widely exploring how drug dependence and abuse affects women.
And it turns out that gender differences can be profound.
Women tend to become dependent on drugs more quickly than men, according to the most recent data from the Substance Abuse Mental-Health Services Administration. This is especially the case among those who abuse alcohol, marijuana, and opioids like heroin. Women also find it harder to quit and can be more susceptible than men to relapse, according to Harvard Medical School.
Most adults can't remember much of what happened to them before age 3 or so. What happens to the memories formed in those earliest years?
My first memory is of the day my brother was born: November 14, 1991. I can remember my father driving my grandparents and me over to the hospital in Highland Park, Illinois, that night to see my newborn brother. I can remember being taken to my mother's hospital room, and going to gaze upon my only sibling in his bedside cot. But mostly, I remember what was on the television. It was the final two minutes of a Thomas the Tank Engine episode. I can even remember the precise story: "Percy Takes the Plunge," which feels appropriate, given that I too was about to recklessly throw myself into the adventure of being a big brother.
In sentimental moments, I'm tempted to say my brother's birth is my first memory because it was the first thing in my life worth remembering. There could be a sliver of truth to that: Research into the formation and retention of our earliest memories suggests that people's memories often begin with significant personal events, and the birth of a sibling is a textbook example. But it was also good timing. Most people's first memories date to when they were about 3.5 years old, and that was my age, almost to the day, when my brother was born.
The banking industry needs more than regulation. It needs a new culture.
The call came from another trader near midnight one night in '95. I assumed it was about a crisis in the financial markets, something bad happening in Asia. No, it was about a strip club. "Dude, turn on the TV news. Giuliani is raiding the Harmony Theater."
The Harmony Theater was a two-level dive club in lower Manhattan, popular among Wall Streeters because it bent rules. It was a place where almost anything, including drugs and sex, could be bought in the open.
When I turned on the TV I saw a swarm of close to a hundred police, many in riot gear, escorting handcuffed strippers and sad-looking clients into waiting police vans. No traders, or at least none that my friends or I knew, were arrested that night.
The company's long-serving chairman, Phil Knight, insisted that he wasn't in the shoe business. He was in the entertainment business.
The first Nike shoes were made in a waffle iron. The running field near the Oregon home of the runner and trainer Bill Bowerman was making a transition from cinder to an artificial surface, and he wanted a sole without spikes that would give him, and his trainees, needed traction as they ran on it. The three-dimensional lattice of the iron offered an answer, at least as far as the shoes' soles went. As for the rest of the design, at least at first? It was utilitarian: made by runners, for runners, and concerned mostly with making their wearers lighter, and thus faster, on their feet.
That Nike is now one of the biggest and most recognizable brands in the world is largely the doing of Bowerman's partner, the man who recently announced his retirement from the company: Phil Knight. Knight transformed Nike, not overnight but close to it, into a global powerhouse, known both for its successes and its controversies. In the process, however, he did something else: He turned athletic footwear into fashion.

The pains starting to kick in now that i am all alone.
I wish i could just take everything back and make it all how it use to be.
I was so happy when it was just you and me.
Everyones made these lies and rumors to make me look bad.
I know thats the reason your so mad.
You dont believe them but you dont wanna look dumb.
I feel so broken inside. I
ts like when you left, a part of me died.
I held it back for some time and i feel so stupid for not chasing what was mine.
I acted like everything was okay like i was just fine.
No adam, no. You have no idea baby you dont know.
Your probably gonna laugh when you read this.
If i ever get the guts to even email you this.
Youll probably show your friends and have a laugh with them.
To me, you were always that perfect him.
I looked aside on your inperfections and made them perfect.
I wish i wouldve told you, none of this was worth it.
I never cheated. I never meant to hurt you.
I shouldve told you the whole story.
Maybe we would still be together, maybe we couldve lasted forever.
Now your gone, and im all alone. Baby, come back.. you were my back bone.
I never thought what we had, would ever end so bad.
I miss all the memories we shared. At all the other jealous couples that stared.
I miss being your baby girl, i miss being one of the important things to you in this world.
Im not ready to through almost two years away, i fell in love with you and i still feel the same way.
You are and always will be number one. Please dont let me go. Im falling apart. I need you..
**Please do not correct my poem in any way I am only 14 I will learn from my mistakes but I was in a hurry just typing away what was on my mind.

Perhaps Steve Jobs best explained what Apple did in his biography written by Walter Isaacson:
"We told the publishers, 'We'll go to the agency model, where you set the price, and we get our 30 percent," Jobs is quoted by Isaacson. "And yes, the customer pays a little more, but that's what you want anyway."
That's what some say is a smoking gun. Apple and the publishers have denied colluding on price but some of the publishers have engaged in settlement talks with the government. Apple has refused, according to reports.
This is why DOJ accused Apple of fixing e-Book prices

Belonging is Robin Lee Hatcher at her best! Tamera Alexander, bestselling author of Within My Heart and The Inheritance Belonging is vintage Robin Lee Hatcher: a touching, tender love story, filled with genuine conflict and characters that quietly build a nest in your heart. A skillful blend of description, emotion, and spiritual reflection, Belonging will sweep you away to late nineteenth-century Idaho, glad to have a seasoned novelist driving your buckboard wagon with a sure hand. By story's end you'll no doubt sigh with relief, smile with delight, and turn back to page one for a second visit with our determined Miss K. Loved it!" Liz Curtis Higgs, New York Times bestselling author of Mine Is the Night
Author Bio
Robin Lee Hatcher is the bestselling author of 70 books. Her numerous awards include the Christy Award for Excellence in Christian Fiction, the RITA Award for Best Inspirational Romance, and the RWA Lifetime Achievement Award. Robin and her husband currently reside in Idaho. For more information, visit www.robinleehatcher.com.
One of the highlights of the novel is the faith journey of the characters, especially Colin. It soon becomes clear that he struggles to make his faith real, and he questions whether or not he can really trust in God. All of the characters have some sort of faith in God, and the Christian messages are very clear. Felicia takes time out of her day to pray and read her Bible, an important discipline that is exemplified and honored in this book. Belonging also makes the point that churches are not meant to be gossip circles and shows what that sort of behavior looks like from the outside.
The story in itself is not terribly different from any other Christian romance novel. However, that's part of the fun in reading it. The characters in Belonging feel familiar and are relatable. Its an easy and entertaining tale. Fans of the Christian romance genre will enjoy the book. Olivia Jessup, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

Jamie5 Stars Out Of 5I'm a new fan!January 19, 2013JamieBeing the history dork I am, I often think of eras I would like to have lived in (even though the grand ol year of 1982 and E.T. is legit). Am I the only one who does this? If I am, just ignore the previous statement.
But if you are like me, then awesome - it's good to know I'm not riding solo. Take the Civil War for example. How exciting and scary would it have been to be a nurse or lead people through the underground railroad? Or even during World War II, imagining doing my part (Rosie the Riverter style) in a war that was fighting for something with meaning.
Then there's the days of American history when settlements popped up in the 1800s all over the West (and died just as quickly). While I heart my running water and world wide web, what an adventure it must have been to start something new, be in a small town and know everyone. It's against this backdrop that Robin Lee Hatcher takes us through in Belonging. She paints a beautiful picture of the late 1880s Idaho in the small town of Frenchman's Bluff.
I love her characters. There are ones with depth, ones you really want to punch and Hatcher's development is superb. Like I want to be Felicia's (the main character) friend. The characters are like anyone today. Some have painful pasts they're trying to move forward from, some are just mean and you definitely root for the ones trying to find love. It's a great story!
The next book in the series Betrayal is now out and I'm looking forward to grabbing a copy of that one!
Pam BurkePotosi, MOAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5A great beginning of a seriesJanuary 1, 2013Pam BurkePotosi, MOAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Robin Lee Hatcher is a name I've seen around Christian fiction for a while but had never taken the opportunity to try out. I'm glad I finally took the chance with her "Where the Heart Lives" series.
In the beginning of Belonging, we are introduced to Hugh, Felicia, and Diana Brennan, siblings living in a Chicago tenement in the late 1800s. After the death of their mother, they come under the care of Dr. Cray's Asylum for Little Wanderers and are each sent to different families out west to begin new lives. They reach adulthood without seeing each other again.
Belonging is Felicia's story as she leaves a home in Wyoming where she knew no real love and begins her life in Idaho as a teacher. Betrayal begins with Hugh traveling from Chicago (where he returned in his teen years) to reunite with Felicia in Idaho. Both their lives take unexpected turns as they find much more than they dared hope for.
Both stories were a delight to read. I was drawn into the characters' lives immediately and felt that I was right there with them as they found their places in new surroundings. These are comfortable, feel-good stories with very real people who struggle through day-to-day challenges and draw their strength and wisdom from their relationships with God.
My only negative comment is this: Beloved, Diana's story is not available yet. Now I have to impatiently wait for the conclusion!
(By the way, am I the only one who sees Jane Seymour as Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, in the model on the cover of Belonging?)
Thanks to Zondervan for providing these books free of charge in exchange for my honest review.
VeraNorth CarolinaAge: Over 65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5God is "working all things together for goodâ€December 15, 2012VeraNorth CarolinaAge: Over 65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5In book one of Robin Lee Hatcher's "Where the Heart Lives" series, the town of Frenchman's Bluff in the high desert of Idaho is in need of a new school teacher. Felicia Kristoffersen is in need of a teaching position, one that will take her to a new place with the promise of new beginnings that will help her forget her painful past. She arrives in Frenchman's Bluff with a desire to prove herself in this position; but unbeknownst to her, there are those who never wanted her to come in the first place.
Colin Murphy, a local merchant cares most about his motherless daughter Charity. While he knows the town needs a teacher, he believes a single, inexperienced lady teacher will not provide the educational advantages he wants his daughter and the other students of Frenchman's Bluff to have. Experience has told him they just don't stick with the job for long. He is about to learn that Felicia is not your average teacher.
They both are about to find that God is "working all things together for good" in spite of their past sorrows and disappointments to give them the love, joy, and guidance they so desperately desire and in ways they least expect.
I found this book to be a wonderful read; one I had difficulty putting down. (By guest reviewer J.LaTour)

Vedantin Ping Luo
Founder and Director of School Yoga Institute, Ed. D, E-RYT, Herbalist, Reiki/Shamanic Mythic, certified Vinyasa Ashtanga yoga teacher by BNS Iyengar and Sivananda certified yoga teacher joins this training via Skype. Vedantin wears many hats in his dharmic life. In addition to being an experienced yoga teacher, who has been teaching yoga and training yoga teachers around the world for many, many years, he is also a certified integrative herbalist by School of Integrative Herbology, a master practitioner of Shamanic Reiki energy healing, and a university professor who teaches holistic health. Vedantin has studied extensively with a myriad of gurus from many traditions, including BNS Iyengar, Sri Patabhi Jois, Tim Miller, Berle Bender Birch, and David Swenson. Through years of experience, he has found that a true guru resides right in his heart.
Vedantin has also been studying Shamanic Healing for a long period of time and was fortunate enough to study Ancient medicine intensively with medicine men and women in the high Andes and the Amazon jungle in Peru and Bolivia. He has been blessed and initiated as an earth keeper and medicine shaman by the medicine elders and he continues to embark on the journey of healing as a medicine keeper of the earth.
Vedantin has been taking his journey and pilgrimage externally and internally into the synthesis of many mystical, healing, and yogic paths such as classic yogic, tantric yoga, Patanjili's eight limb yoga, devotional yoga (Bakti Yoga), action yoga (Karma Yoga), and Yogic Living in Theory and Practice (Juana Yoga), and shamanic healing yoga. There are many paths but the essence of all the paths is One: to realize the SELF and to find a state of contentment, happiness, and bliss.
Born and raised in a Buddhist community, the sacred Emei Mountain, in China near Tibet, Vedantin learned Buddhist principles at an early age and integrated them into his lifestyle. Additionally meditation, Tai Chi, Chiqong, and Chinese Martial arts were of his upbringing. He began teaching these principles to others 20 years ago. When Vedantin was first introduced to Yoga, he found it incorporated all aspects of Buddhist principles. Practicing Yoga has been instrumental in his life realization. Vedantin believes that the state of love, life contentment, joy, peace, and bliss cannot be found in the ever changing world but can be found in inner stillness, the true Self. He shares yoga with others with his heart and his love of Yoga.
Vedantin integrates his pedagogical knowledge of modern techniques of teacher training with his knowledge of mythical teaching of Yoga, thereby blending "science" with the art of connecting and sharing. He integrates shamanic healing medicine into his daily self-healing practice and yoga teaching. He primarily practices and teaches Sadhana Vinyasa Yoga (Vinyasa Ashtanga based), Sadhana Hatha Yoga (Sivananda based), and Shamanic Healing Yoga (blending healing power of indigenous medicine wheel with joy of Yoga).
Vedantin is inspired to respond to his inner calling, to share the wisdom and power of Yoga and healing arts with others. He envisions the conception of the University of Healing Arts in the very near future to serve humanity and bridge the gap between "science" and "ancient tradition". His dedication and love for Yoga and Healing Arts would benefit those who are pursuing stillness of mind and body and happiness and contentment in life.

FLORIDA'S law enforcement agents destroy about 100 000 marijuana plants every year. And that's just 20 per cent of the estimated total grown there. Many of the crops lie deep in the Everglades, where there is dense vegetation to camouflage them and alligators to deter inquisitive state officials. But last April, Jim McDonough, director of Florida's drug control policy, decided to get tough. He suggested spraying the Everglades with a fungus that would kill off the marijuana but leave other plants untouched.
When the story appeared in newspapers in July, it enraged environmentalists and provoked a lawsuit from a pro-marijuana group. Some critics described it as a form of biological warfare. The

Hold on, though; it's not like he was an active fighter under contract. He was taking part in TUF to attempt to gain a contract and become a member of the org. Stating that they will not be hiring him after the show but allowing him to participate is actually more than he could ever expect.
If he becomes a great fighter and shows he's learned from this, he shouldn't have any trouble finding work. He's simply given the company a black eye and they've made their statement. I'm fine with the move and I'm a HUGE UFC critic.

He's a fighter not an elected official. He's obviously a racist, but should that get him kicked out of the UFC? If you don't approve of him, root against the guy.

IOWA CITY, Iowa - Even though the University of Iowa rejected a request from HBO to film on campus for its popular series "Girls," media outlets have reported the director still plans to shoot in the Iowa City area.
During a Wednesday screening of comedian Steve Coogan's film "Alan Partridge" in Los Angeles, "Girls" director Jesse Peretz told a reporter with New York magazine's entertainment website that, "We are going to definitely go to Iowa City and we will be shooting some there."
"Even if we can't shoot on campus, we will shoot around campus," Peretz told Katie Van Syckle of Vulture.com, the entertainment destination from the team behind New York magazine.
He told the reporter that most of the scenes don't take place on campus any way, and HBO can "cheat some other campus" for the UI campus. Still, he added, some of the filming will be done in Iowa.
"A little more than a smidge," he said.
Peretz told the reporter that he visited Iowa City at age 20.
"I had memories, but the actual pictures – it's not quite as romantic as our Northeast idea of college, and I realized it's actually a big state university," he said. "I think I had a wrong picture in my head because the most that I hear about Iowa is the writers' program."
The director said he wasn't too surprised by the UI's rejection to shoot on campus.
"I grew up in Cambridge, and people wanted to shoot at Harvard, and they almost never let anybody shoot on the Harvard campus," he said. "I think it's probably a protective thing, like they don't want to be complicit in being maligned or something. And then they haven't invited you in to make fun of them."
The UI official who made the call to reject HBO's request told KCRG.com that he was concerned about potential distractions for students and about the plot line, which he said casts the UI in a negative light.
"I reviewed the script and was concerned that the story line didn't place the university and the community in a favorable light," Joseph Brennan, UI vice president for strategic communication, told KCRG.com last month.
Brennan declined to discuss details about the "Girls" plot, out of respect for the show's producers. And, Brennan acknowledged, keeping the film crews off campus probably won't affect the show's plot in any way.
"As we all know in the world of TV and movies," he said, "you can use one location and it can fictionally stand in for another."
The show, which follows a group of young adults living in New York City, turned to Iowa City during its season three finale when main character, Hannah Horvath, got accepted to the Iowa Writers' Workshop.
One of the show's writers, Sarah Heyward, is an alumnus of the UI's MFA in English program, nationally and internationally heralded for producing Pulitzer Prize winners, U.S. Poets Laureate, and National Book Award winners.

A landscaper picking up grimy leaves on a Long Island street after Hurricane Sandy stumbled upon a million-dollar winning lottery ticket.
"This was someone else's luck, but my ticket!" Marvin Martinez, 27, told The Post.
"My co-worker was blowing the leaves and I was collecting them when I saw the ticket hiding between wet leaves," he said of his November 2012 find in Bayville. "I still don't know what made me pick it up."
But he did and saw that all three numbers on the "Win $1,000 a Week for Life" scratch card appeared to be winners.
"Whoever threw it away probably didn't realize there was a prize," said Martinez, who still lives with his mother in a Sandy-ravaged home in Hicksville. "I took it home and showed it to my mom but she didn't believe it." It was so wet that they could barely read the ticket "so I left it to dry underneath a lamp," Martinez said.
He tried to verify he had a winning ticket at a New York Lottery customer service center on Long Island — but the lottery office had lost its power because of Sandy.
When it finally reopened, he explained what happened. "They asked me a lot of questions and said they would have to investigate. I forgot about it," he said.
Three weeks ago, he got a call to meet with Lottery officials because no one else had claimed the ticket — and in this case, "finders keepers" applies.

Tech Talk 1 by Ken Baker
Feel the Pulse – Part One
Novell Pulse: Taking Advantage of in-the-Cloud, Real-time, Ad hoc Collaboration
A few months ago, Novell announced that a "new and innovative user experience" would play a key role in its vision for collaboration. In November, that innovative user experience—taking shape as Novell Pulse—was previewed to wide accolade at the Enterprise 2.0 show in San Francisco, California. With planned availability in mid-2010, this new cloud technology enables users to enter a completely new arena: real-time, enterprise-class collaboration. The goal behind Novell Pulse is to help drive enterprise productivity and innovation by making it easier for users to communicate, generate ideas and share information instantly and from anywhere. To deliver on this promise, Novell Pulse combines communication, document authoring and social messaging tools with robust security and management capabilities.
While Novell Pulse shares some capabilities inherent to Novell GroupWise and Novell Teaming, it complements these solutions by creating a seamless bridge between traditional collaboration and the productivity gains offered by in-the-cloud, real-time, ad hoc collaboration. Essentially, this means that Novell Pulse lets users communicate, co-author, co-edit and share in the cloud from anywhere on an ad hoc basis.
Get Ready, Set, Share
One powerful aspect of Novell Pulse is its self-service nature. As an on-demand service, users don't have to wait for IT to set it up. (See Figure 1.) If a few users within a department want to try it out, they can sign up for the free version and take it for a test drive. (See Feel the Pulse – Part Two.) But the self-service aspect doesn't end there.
Similar to popular social networking services, users can create their own profiles and connect with and follow other people. They can determine what elements of their profile are visible to their followers or different groups. Users can also set up groups of people with whom they want to share content and communicate. This enables the quick, ad hoc creation of distributed teams comprised of people who can offer unique insights, experience and expertise. And because one of the primary design principles of Novell Pulse is interoperability, these groups can span organizational, geographic and even product boundaries.
The ease with which you can create teams, follow people and build ad hoc relationships forms the basis for users to share just about any type of content in real time. In fact, Novell Pulse breaks down the barriers created by traditional collaboration tools, letting you share and collaborate in ways that accommodate the way you work.
Subscribe to Connection Magazine
With Novell Pulse, the primary vehicle for sharing is messages, but messages can be communicated or delivered in a variety of ways. When you send a message to someone's personal address, it works just like a regular messaging system. When you send it to your personal feed address, it's similar to a personal blog that people can follow. When you send a message to a group, it acts like a group feed or a location to syndicate content.
Messages can be styled and directed to other locations as well. For example, a message can be styled like a Wiki within Novell Pulse. A message can also be embedded in another Web page, where it can be styled as a wiki or other appropriate format. Additionally, since Novell Pulse uses a powerful document editor for content creation, messages can become full-blown documents that can be shared, co-authored and co-edited as desired.
