Relay for life
This years theme for the event itself is celebrate, remember, fight back. This years goal is 58,000 dollars. The relay begins at 7pm Friday night and ends at 7 am. We like for someone from each team to always be on the track that we walk, because cancer never sleeps. Each team has luminaries that they sell as well, these luminaries can be decorated for a loved one they have lost or who is currently surviving cancer. It is an awesome experience to see all of the lit lumanaries around the track when the sun goes down.
There is also a ceremony where all our loved ones names are read. The event is much more than taking a walk around a track, it is a time to get together and fight this horrible thing that has taken so many lives, but to celebrate those that have fought it as well. There are all sorts of special activities that are held as well. Face painting, cheerleading performances, bands that perform and much more.. Many people even bring there campers and decorate their campsites. The event is held at the Beatrice Fairgrounds. Putting on the event is no easy task either, it takes a lot of people to organize and prepare for the big day.. It is simply a beautiful thing when everyone gets together to fight for one thing CANCER!
Fairbury trap shooting

Boys and Girls, one mom's story
When it came time for me to begin my parenting journey, I thought I had an edge on a lot of new parents. I had been an Early Childhood Education Director for nearly five years when my first child came along (I have a girl who is thirteen and a boy who will be nine in July), and everyone told me what a great parent I'd be-heck, I had a degree in raising children and great advice for parents of both boys and girls, and it worked! I was so deluded-I frequently wonder if I ever knew anything about the differences between boys and girls!
When it comes to it, the two genders couldn't be more different. The basics are the same, but the semantics that are so exponentially different that it will make your head spin. My two are the spitting image of each other-you can't tell their baby pictures apart unless you look at their clothes or know that one was exactly one pound larger and a little over an inch larger than the other. Then they grew and turned into polar opposites of each other.
MY daughter is wound tight as a spring and my son is a laid back, devil-may-care kid. For example, when my daughter began potty training, it took about a week of soggy skives for her and she woke up one morning, at the age of approximately fifteen months, and said "I wear panties!". And she did. No accidents. EVER. My son showed extreme interest at about the same age. By three and a half I thought he was going to go to kindergarten in diapers. Fortunately, it caught on before that landmark passed. Sometimes I think he was intentional in his actions. As wildly emotional as girls are, boys are equally obstinate. More so.
As they've aged, I've come to realize that their emotions couldn't be more different than ice and fire. My daughter is every bit the emotional ping pong ball you'd expect a girl to be-and loud about it. I hear the exasperated sigh at least a half dozen times each day. My lil guy is tough as nails-he has tackled her at the knees and taken her to the ground for teasing him. He will scowl in disgust at her verbal taunts, and shoot her in the head with his nerf guns to get his point across, all in stealth like silence. But, just like extreme hot and cold, they have similar burning properties. Those two kids surprise me-just when i think they couldn't be more different due to their genders, my son will ask if i want to cuddle so that I'm happier. He has the softest heart I've ever seen, and can be so generous and loving. My daughter...she is so much stronger than i give her credit for-facing a number of odd health problems the courage of an army, and telling me off when she thinks I'm not giving her credit for being able to handle life as it comes along.
I could tell you a million stories about how different and how similar they are, but when it boils down, what i know is this: every time I look at them, I can point out the things that I am so proud of because of how they've been raised. Things that have nothing to do with their gender, but their inert sense of self. Their manners, their kind hearts, their willingness to stand up for themselves and others, and even at their young ages, their moral strength. Those commonalities are what I think are important, no matter how different they are when you take a quick glance at their outer shell.
One Night Stand, "Resist"
Beatrice-One Night Stand has released their new song called Resist and I asked band member Brian Barnhouse to talk about the song and the recording process. Brian shared the details in the following article. I have a follow up article that I actually wrote a while back about drummer Brandon Lilibridge. (scroll down after page loads)
Who was involved in the recording process?
Cory Colgrove (guitar, backing vocals), Brian Barnhouse (bass, lead vocals), Brandon Lillibridge (drums, backing vocals), were the musicians who recorded "Resist", I basically engineered it, and did the rough mixes, with all band members giving their input for the final mix. Doug Van Sloan (focus Mastering), mastered the song.
What is the song about?
I'll let the listener relate to the song in the their own way...Within the band, there's a "difference of opinion" about what the song means. I'm NOT sure what Brandon thinks the song is about, but I know FOR SURE, that Cory & I have vastly different opinions about the song.
Cory handed me a lyric that he wrote in 2009, called "Running To Me"...Which is what the lyrics to "RESIST" are based around...However, I chopped up and added to the lyric, because the lyric needed to fit inside the 'vocal melody' that I was singing...And, the original story line I thought was too "dark & heavy" and needed a little lightening up....So, if you ask Cory, he'd probably say it's a "sad song"...but, if you read the "recorded" lyric, there's a positive spin to it, which was written that way on purpose to help "balance" the song out. Cory's original lyric is based on TWO characters, both of whom, are in a VERY DARK place...Where now, I think, this version is still a little dark, but has both characters affecting the other in a postive manner.
This was really a test in "compromise" by both Cory & I....He's complained to me that I didn't use enough of his lyrics, and I would have liked to have re-written MOST of the lyrics...Hopefully we found a balance between our two styles. I still have the original lyrics that he gave me for the song, it's kinda interesting to see how it all took shape, after the fact.
When did you record it?
It was recorded & mixed throughout February & March of 2011. That's what is nice about recording from a home studio, is there wasn't any "clock-ticking" like at a real recording studio...We had the luxury of working on it when "in the mood" and when our schedules allowed.
How did you record it?
The THREE key items of the studio are: A custom-made computer from Computers Plus...(main ingredients: Quad-Four processor, and lots of memory )...The super fast processor was really the key, as there was never any latency issues. Cubase 5 was the recording software used, and a Tascam US1800 was the Audio Interface.
Why did you record it?
Not only was "Resist" the first original song worked up by One Nite Stand, but I think it also represents the "creative blending" that is between Cory & myself...There's TWO very strong personalities at play, and I think if someone would "dig into" the back story of "Resist" they would see this weird, dysfunctional (at times), "Blending" of these two personalities. The dynamic of the One Nite Stand members is really interesting: Cory drives me nuts...I drive Cory nuts...Brandon drives both me & Cory nuts...and Poor Brandon, having to put up with Cory & I. There's definitely some strong dysfunction happening, but make no mistake about it, we're all brothers at the same time.
What is your goals for the band and recording?
The goal for the band is to keep writing the best songs that we can, and keep releasing more & more music. As far as recording...I asked Doug Van Sloan for advice, cuz he HEARS & WORKS ON some GREAT RECORDINGS (he masters almost all of the Saddle Creek Records bands)...He was nice enough to give me some BIG tips on recording, and bringing out certain aspects of the mix...So, yeah, there's a HUGE, ongoing, learning curve, but I think "sonically" speaking, the songs of One Nite Stand will only get better SOUNDING, as I increase my knowledge about recording.
Any fun stories about the recording process?
Not really...this song was very "workman like" from the blending of writing styles, through the entire recording process.
I think all of us members wanted the best song possible, and we were all pretty focused on the end goal.
I think "RESIST" is a good first step, and I'm truly anxious to see what we write next.
Inside the mind of a meth manufacturer
A short while back I made a request on facebook for someone who had a meth lab to contact me for a story I wanted to do. I got a reply from someone who had a lab, was caught and served time for the offense. This person was gracious enough to share the story so we can all learn from someone who was there, what it was like to manufacture meth and pay the price. I want to personally thank this person for their contribution. Here is the story.
Q . What led you to decide that a meth lab was a good idea?
A. Well I started using meth in 1997. I worked road construction and was gone all week long and only had two days on the weekend to get everything done that needed done before I went off to work again for the week. Meth gave me energy I needed to stay awake long hours to get things done I needed. When I started an 8 ball or 1/8 of an ounce was $100. when I decided to start making it myself it was $300. I could no longer afford my tolerance level at that time so making it was the only option for me, I was too far gone at that time to consider quitting as an option.
Q . Was it someone elses idea or yours?
A . It was all my idea. I needed to save money and making it gave me more quantity for my buck.
Q. Did you start from scratch or did you join someone who had one going?
A. I learned from the people I was associated with in supplying my habit.
Q.How did you keep it secret or hide the fact you had a lab?
A. Just don't talk about it, Keep to yourself shut in mostly. Meth labs are disposable I would burn everything immediately after the processes were completed. When I think about that now, I cannot hardly believe that I was that far gone.
Q. What is involved in a meth lab without giving out the recipe?
A. Countless hours of preparation. A steady hand. A keen eye for detail. A comprehensive knowledge of chemistry and understanding positive and negative ions and reactions to volatile chemicals helps. A quiet place preferable miles away from any livestock, farm ground or acreage. Also need to make sure there's a lot of time available can't do it if it's hurried, it will fail.
Q.How hard is it to get the materials you need?
A. When I was doing it, the materials were more readily available. I understand now-a-days the materials need signed for over the counter. Which I agree with very much.
Q. Tell me how you got anhydrous?
A. Well, in the middle of the night find an anhydrous tank in a field somewhere remote and walk up to it and fill a plastic jug. There's a little more involved I don't want this to turn into to training seminar.
Q. How did you sell the finished product?
A. I tried to not sell the finished product, it defeated the purpose for saving money. Then it became evident that the people who were selling it for profit were cutting it with things like fruit fresh and vitamin B12 and potentially harmful ingredients to stretch it out for higher profits. I strongly disagreed with that because no matter how far gone I was I never lost my faith in humanity. I knew that though I was doing wrong that cutting the product and potentially and intentionally hurting people was even worse yet so I took it upon myself and notified a few of my closest oldest friends and said don't be doing that if your going to do it do this it's pure and doesn't have any additives that aren't used in the actual manufacturing process.
Sounds unbelievable to me now clearly knowing that all the ingredients in meth are deadly in their raw form. Any one product can kill you in an instant in the quantity used in the manufacturing process. I'm very lucky to be able to tell my story. Also, I want to add that there's no justification for manufacturing Methamphetamine. No mater how noble the justification sounds the act is heinous and is a cancer that is eating away at the heart of our communities and lifestyles that have been passed down from generation to generation.
Q. How large was your customer base?
A. I have no way of knowing really, I just know that towards the end of my run I was meeting new people everyday and life was crazy, it was completely out of control.
Q. How prevalent is meth in the community you were in?
A. Meth is prevalent everywhere. It's in every walk of life in every circle. No one is immune to the effects of methamphetamine. No matter who you are or where you come from Meth is not far away.
Q. How did you get caught?
A. I had a bad batch and one of my oldest friends was feeling terribly and I wouldn't give them any because it was wrong and they were gonna bang it and I didn't want the responsibility for bringing harm to this person and they turned me in to the law out of spite.
Q. What was the consequences of getting caught?
A. I was looking at a sentence of 75 years. I was honest and cooperated with the law in every aspect that concerned me and nobody else. I took responsibility for my actions and also took a plea bargain for Attempted Manufacture of methamphetamine. I didn't let any potentially incriminating evidence or statements that would of affected any other individual out during my incarceration as I am a firm believer that anything anyone else does is their own responsibility. I received a sentence of 20 to 28 months and was awarded timed served and did 10 months behind the wall at Nebraska State Penitentiary.
Q. How has it effected your life?
A. My life has drastically changed. I have been clean and free of meth since Jan. 11, 2004. I have never felt better and I have also learned that the easy way in life is to work, pay bills and stay within the means provided by my work ethics and education. I believe that my choice though a bad one has greatly contributed to who I am today and I like who I am today.
Q. What advice would you give to anyone who is thinking about starting up a meth lab?
A. Don't do it, that path only leads to a prison sentence. Prison is a waste of a human being. I live with guilt and resentment for my choice of doing drugs. I buried friends that overdosed. I watched people that I have known all my life deteriorate and become dependent on others because they destroyed too much of their brain and cannot function for themselves. When we were playing together as children not one of us said "I want to be a drug dealer when I grow up" Just remember your first dream as a child of what you wanted to be and do that. If you can be a drug dealer, if you can be a drug user, you can be anything you desire. I think about how much energy it took to manufacture Methamphetamine and think what I can do if I put that energy into something that would help society rather than break it down and destroy centuries of progress and growth.
Q. Tell me anything that you have to share
A. With meth use comes paranoia. The constant mental awareness that someone is out to get you. I spent countless hours in my home with the lights off staring out through the little holes in the blinds that the strings go through to the outside and watching everyone and everything. Being careful to not make a sound and give away my position. When I would run out of meth I would instantly go look for more. I would crawl around on my floor and look for some I may have dropped for hours on end. I was always confronted by people who would try to convince me I owed them something or other and I was always aware that things were missing from my house on a regular basis. I had several instances where someone would come over and say would you trade some meth for this and I would say lol I have one just like that right over....hey! that's mine with? How'd you get that? I never had a nosey neighbor instance that I am aware of I never but the one time ever had anything to do with a meth lab at my personal residence. That one time was the time I got busted because I ran out of time and didn't have anything else to do with it.
I remember one time at work I was by myself and I was doing some meth in my car during a clean-up process and a trooper pulled up beside me and said hey is it okay if I let my dog out to relieve himself? I said sure, (with else was I gonna say) turns out the wind was in the right direction and the dog really had to go and ran up wind and did his thing and came right back to the officer and jumped in the car and they left. I still remember how I felt, that was closest I ever came to being caught.
When my house was raided I wasn't home and I came and turned myself in a couple days later after I cleared my head and realized it's time to pay the piper.

Ants don't have big brains, but they're pretty good at maths. Researchers have found that they can calculate the area of a potential nesting site with an error of less than 2 per cent.
Eamonn Mallon and his colleagues from the University of Bath found that when the ants first visit the site, they walk around it randomly, leaving behind them a scent pheromone trail of a fixed length. On a second visit, the Leptothorax albipennis ants wander around again. The less often they encounter the original scented trail, the bigger the site (

Starkey Laboratories proudly announces the 2004 recipients of the inaugural William F. Austin Scholarship. Five outstanding and well-qualified audiology graduate students were selected to receive up to $10,000 each for the 2004-2005 academic year.
William F. Austin, Starkey CEO, said, We have always been a leading advocate of education and the scholarships goal is to support strong candidates who pursue clinical, teaching and research careers in audiology.
The 2004 recipients are Trevor Courouleau of Edmond, Okla., Sarah Friedman of Rockville, Md., Jennifer Main of New Brighton, Minn., Allison Paumen of Minneapolis, Minn., and Jennifer Vargo of Pittsburgh, Pa.
Trevor Courouleau
Trevor Courouleau is pursuing an Au.D. at the University of Oklahoma and plans to complete his coursework in 2006. Personal hearing loss caused from severe ear infections followed by numerous surgeries encouraged Courouleau to embark on a career in audiology. He said, I hope to bring a strong sense of humanity to the field of audiology by empowering patients and family members to deal with hearing loss in a positive manner. Courouleau is currently working as a Graduate Audiology Intern at the universitys John W. Keys Speech and Hearing Center focusing on the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of hearing disorders. Besides a busy academic schedule, he also serves as Executive Officer of the local chapter of the National Association for Future Doctors of Audiology.
Sarah Friedman
Sarah Friedman is currently enrolled in an audiology Ph.D. program at the University of Maryland. While pursuing her degree, Friedman is working as a Graduate Research Assistant at the universitys Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences. Her day-to-day activities include recruiting and coordinating subjects for speech perception and psychoacoustic listening experiments, as well as maintaining lab documents and research data. Friedman cites a love of language and an interest in the communication process as the driving factors for her choice to make a career change and return to school after working as a marketing communications professional. She plans to complete her degree in 2005 and currently maintains a 4.0 GPA.
Jennifer Main
Jennifer Mains motivation for a career in audiology became evident after spending an afternoon with a young girl with a cochlear implant. She said, It was after this experience that I first remember thinking with conviction that I wanted to help children with hearing loss. Main is currently attending the University of Minnesota working on her Master of Arts in Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences with a concentration of audiology and plans to graduate in 2005. Past work experience at the Minnesota Ear, Head, and Neck Clinic helped Main refine her audiological evaluation and clinical testing skills. Upon graduation, Main plans to work as clinician and gain practical experience before returning to academia to complete her Ph.D.
Allison Paumen
Allison Paumen aspires to open a pediatric hearing care clinic using a holistic approach to create a safe environment for children with hearing loss and their families. She said, I am passionate and excited that my efforts will improve the lives of the people my work will touch. Paumen is currently enrolled in the University of Minnesotas Au.D. program and plans to graduate in 2006. A current Research Assistant position at Starkey and past research experiences have piqued Paumens interests about various communications disorders and created a foundation for her future career goals. She is also a member of the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association University of Minnesota chapter and served as vice president of the chapter in 2002.
Jennifer Vargo
Jennifer Vargo has always had interest in helping people. From volunteering in a high school-sponsored tutoring program for language-delayed children to helping at workshops for mentally challenged and disabled children, past experiences encouraged Vargo down a career path in audiology. She said, They were the first steps of what I have come to realize is the journey toward my real purpose. Her current endeavors include working on her Au.D. at the University of Pittsburgh expecting to graduate in 2005. While maintaining a 3.68 GPA, Vargo was also the co-founder and two-year charter president of Pitts National Association of Future Doctors of Audiology. She believes quality, commitment and good leadership skills are vital characteristics for clinicians. The new Au.D. has raised the bar for the profession, demanding that audiologists are at the top of their game. I plan to be one of the captains of the team, said Vargo.
The selection committee reviewed 80 applications for the 2004 scholarship. Eligibility requirements included acceptance to, or current enrollment in an accredited graduate M.A., M.S., Au.D. or Ph.D. program in audiology.

When it comes to slim 13- and 14-inch laptops, there are currently a lot of options worth considering. A thin design and Nvidia Optimus automatic-switching graphics make the Asus UL80JT-A1 an initially appealing laptop, but looks can be misleading: the underwhelming CPU and battery life are both serious negatives.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores.

Dorset Daily Bugle
Published once a year in Dorset, Minnesota whether
there's news or not
The Dorset Triathlon:
Eat, Sleep and Shop
The most popular, satisfying and easiest triathlon in
Minnesota will be hosted by Dorset again this summer that
Will census prove
Dorset is a big city?
City officials in Dorset are encouraging all residents in the Dorset
metro area to fill out and return census forms this year to prove
that its population really is 3.2 million, a figure that has been
disputed when federal censusofficials made a secret trip to the city
in 2000. Those census officials said they found a little town barely
three blocks long and with only a handful of houses with 22
inhabitants. But Dorset city officials said many visitors draw a
wrong conclusion because they are confusing the original,
HistoricDowntown Dorset that has been preserved within the metro
Dorset's boundaries. Downtown Dorset has been buffered by a rural
look of farm-like fields and hilly countryside so the Dorset metro
area with the Mall of the World, Dorset Dome, Dorset International
Airport and light rail lines can't be seen. "We did a pretty good
job of hiding metro Dorset from visitors to the downtown," said
Dorset's development planner. Those visitors driving on I-34 between
Park Rapids and Walker take the off-ramp north to Dorset and can't
see allof metro Dorset's office towers, such as Trump Tower Dorset,
or the tall condos along Lake Dorset or the light rail line from
Hubbard, "but they're there," the planner said. Downtown Dorset's
small-town feel wasn't done without a lot of planning and work that
began after the logging era ended in northern Minnesota. Strict
building codes require that all shops and restaurants have wood
storefronts, boardwalks and one-level shopping and dining. "Big-box"
retailers aren't allowed in downtown Dorset, nor are there any
national chain stores. Stoplights and crosswalks aren't needed due
to the many courteous visitors to Downtown Dorset, where honking a
horn or talkingloudly on a cell phone is considered poor etiquette
and politicians aren't allowed to give speeches. Outside downtown
Dorset, however, things are different. Traffic on the freeways
circling and splicing the area are often bumper-to-bumper during
rush hour, buses run continuously on the main arteries and thousands
of houses line neighborhood streets. "That's where we put the 3.2
million people," said Dorset's planner. "You can count them, if they
stand still long enough."
But visitors who wonder if that's true don't seem too anxious to
venture outside Downtown Dorset to see for themselves. As one
visitor said: "Why spend time looking
for the illusionary Dorset when the real thing is right hereto be
enjoyed?" And that's what happened in 2000, according to some
observers, when census officials were seen in Downtown Dorset but
were so enamored by the small-town feel that theynever verified the
metro Dorset census count, and, some say,
just made up a number.
will bring thousands of "triath-eats" to "The
Restaurant Capital of the World."
The three segments of the triathlon -eating, shopping and
sleeping- can be done in any order, at any time, for any
length, as often as desired and in as many days as desired
with no need to register, train or keep time. In fact, the
longer triath-eats take to do the triathlon, the more
satisfied they feel.
The laid-back event is so casual that most triath-eats
rarely break out a sweat, even though they go back many
times to Dorset do another triathlon in a city that has more
restaurants, shops and lodging rooms per capita than any
other city in the world, and all within the three-block
Historic Downtown Dorset area that makes participation so
While some of Dorset's 3.2 million residents have wanted
to expand the triathlon's boundaries outside the Historic
Downtown Dorset area and include more strenuous activities
such as swimming Lake Dorset, biking/running the Heartland
Trail or paddling Dorset Creek, triath-eats have disagreed,
although many have suggested that reading a book would also
fit within the triathlon's vision.
Newcomers are always invited to visit Dorset and "try a
tri," especially between May and September when there are
so many persons happily doing a triathlon segment that the
fun is contagious, rain or shine.
The eating segment can be done almost any time of the day,
from an early morning breakfast to a late-evening dinner
with all kinds of options in between. Shops of all types
with a wide variety of unique items can be visited with no
need to rush, since triath-eats try to spend as much time in
Dorset as possible.
While watching triath-eats sleep at a bed and breakfast
isn't very exciting for spectators, Dorset triath-eats say
the quiet surroundings and fresh night air makes the
sleeping segment the hardest to quit, as if they were on
vacation. Some have also been tempted to squeeze a nap in
between eating and shopping activities, even on the spacious
lawn at Dorset's park.
The triathlon has become so popular that participants head
straight to Dorset as soon as they arrive in the area,
driving right past the Mall of the World, the Dorset Dome
and not even looking up to the 84th floor of the Trump Tower
office building. Those places could just be a fantasy world,
as far as they know, because the goal of doing a triathlon
is just so satisfying when done in the Dorset-style.

Proudest moment as a personal trainer (or not)?
Watching my mom do her first show, losing over 40lbs, after she's supported me the last 5 years competing.
Why did you become a personal trainer?
When did you start being serious about working out? As soon as I turned 13, I went to the YMCA and purchased my own gym membership, however with school wasn't able to be serious with the gym until graduating highschool in 2005. I have been fascinated with the body and muscle ever since I first saw Mr/Ms Olympia aired on ESPN when i was 12 or 13. I've always been athletic, and initially wanted to be an architect or engineer of some sort. Playing sports and excelling at them made me want to help others. I first started helping teammates or friends improve in sports, and then branched off on my own with lifting weights. Seeing people that are overweight makes me angry, sad, and hopeful all in one. I genuinely love to see people change not only their' body, which makes them love themselves again, but how their' whole attitude and lifestyle changes.. It's a blessing in disguise if people were to give me, or any trainer a chance.
How often do you work out?
5-6 days a week... that includes any cardio
Favorite Muscle Group to Work?
I love me some legs and back :)
What is your fitness goal?
Since I compete in shows, my fitness goal is to always come back to the stage with the presentation and image that I have changed for the better, and that I did dedicated my offseason to improving lagging bodyparts, or that I tweaked my diet even more to have a leaner look by the time I step on stage. I will always look fit, and that's something I will never change if it's within my power.
When did you decide to be a trainer?
This may sound odd, but I didnt' decide, I was basically chosen....there are things in life that you are meant to do, and I truly believe that this, and maybe more specialized down the road, is what my purpose is in life.
Who do you look up to?
As a public figure or idol, no one--atleast not one that pops instantly into my head. However, my mom has always been my inspiration- she struggled day in and out to raise my two sisters and I. Working multiple jobs to keep us fed, and to buy me sneakers and equipment for whatever sport I was playing at the time. She attended every home and away game she could, and moved me back and forth from Missouri to Texas to make sure I could have a good life. She's my number one fan, my foundation of support, and someone I will always be able to count on. My Mom, is my inspiration.
How do you motivate yourself when you're having a bad day?
Always find what you're trying to reach---then grit your teeth, put on the helmet, slap your game face on, because if you don't do it, no one will do it for you--- you need to motivate with in, and for me, that's making myself proud, my mom, and showing everyone that I am that person that they look up to.
What's something you want to accomplish in your life?
When I was 20, I had this ultimate goal of having my own gym by the time I was 26... A few years have passed, I've been through different gym settings, and the goal is still there, obtaining it and perfecting it is what may take more time. Having a goal is ultimately to try and achieve it, and if i continue to strive for it, I will reach it.

Choice Proof 1843 Quarter Dollar1843 25C PR64 NGC. Although a few light hairlines and other tiny contact marks are evident in the fields, the surfaces are fully mirrored with light cameo contrast, and the entire piece has lovely pale gold surfaces with outstanding pewter-gray, steel-blue, and iridescent toning.

The date is about centered in the space between the border and Liberty, and appears to slant up slightly to the right. The shield point is between the 1 and 8, nearly over the left edge of the 8. Heavy die polish lines are visible along the right side of the obverse shield, and into the drapery to the right of the shield. Star 7 is slightly recut. Most of the vertical shield lines on the reverse extend far into the horizontal crossbars, and line 2 of stripe 2 appears to reach the top of the shield.
When we offered the Kaufman specimen in July 2008, we presented a roster of five pieces, along with two additional appearances.

Relax, and Listen
There is a pitfall that comes with church work, whether one is a pastor or a very active parishioner. You serve the Lord Jesus and his people, the Church, because you love him. And the more you serve, the more serving opportunities come your way. (As they say, if you want to get something done, ask a busy person.) You can be so involved with projects and planning and Bible studies that, when you have down time, the last thing you want to do is pray or dig into God's Word on your own. You love the Lord and you love serving him, but you also just need a break!
We express love to our loved ones in many different ways. The specifics depend a lot on our personalities. Martha and Mary, for example, in Luke 10, both loved their Lord Jesus, and both expressed it to him, one by busy service and one by rapt attention. All "love languages" are equal, aren't they? Yet Jesus, in this case, said one was better than the other. Why?
Earlier in the same chapter, Jesus sent out 72 of his followers in pairs on a mission to proclaim his Good News. Luke records the aftermath: "The seventy-two returned with joy and said, 'Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.' He replied, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven'" (Luke 10:17-20).
What they accomplished for the kingdom of God was wonderful! Jesus acknowledged that. But more important than what they did was who they were. Children of God by his grace; names written in heaven. In fact, unless they were who they were, they could never do what they did.
So, a few verses later in Luke 10, Jesus commends Mary for sitting at his feet, listening, learning, knowing him better and better. And Jesus explicitly tells Martha, who is busily serving him, that Mary has made the better choice.
God's servants in his Church cannot do what they do, unless they are who he calls them to be. And that comes from knowing Jesus better and better, day by day. When those days come where the last thing we want to do is pray or dig into God's Word on our own, it's a pretty good sign that it should have been the first thing we did. So relax, and listen.

PHP Register Globals FAILED with suggestion to DISABLE.
How is this done and what does that mean to disable? Am running under WordPress 3.3
Posted 16 December 2011 - 07:44 AM
In the words of the PHP developers: "This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged." It relates to the automatic creation of variables which, in conjunction with improperly written code, could cause security issues. Generally speaking these days there should be no code that depends on having this feature enabled and if you did have such code on your site it would be recommended to update or replace such code. If you have an up to date installation it is very unlikely that this will be the case so it is advised to disable it, which is the default value anyway. The reason that it is often enabled is because hosts don't want to "break" software that may be installed in a hosting account so they enable it by default.
So the warning that ServerBuddy gives is based on the current recommendation for the setting of this value.
This would normally be disabled by a setting in a php.ini file or similar but the best thing to do is to consult your host support who will be able to advise you more specifically on how to disable this on their servers, thanks.
"Everything will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet then it isn't the end."
Posted 31 December 2011 - 06:51 PM
Posted 31 December 2011 - 07:35 PM
The config item you'd want in a php.ini would be:
register_globals = Off
or alternatively if you have to do this in a .htaccess file then
php_flag register_globals off
Depending on how you server is configured you may have to put this in multiple directories, e.g., some servers are configured for a "master" php.ini whilst others are per-directory so if you have scripts running from multiple places you might need to put the config in multiple places. Generally if this is the case (per-directory php.ini) for a WordPress installation I put a php.ini in the site root and also one in wp-admin and this generally seems to cover most bases.
Hopefully you host will give you the same advice (or at least similar but specific for their servers) - I can't think why they wouldn't allow or tell you how to do this for your site but if not it would be interesting to know why.
Hope that helps.

Mediterranean Tile-Print Tunic 3 3
Feels cheaply made This material is scratchy and feels cheap against your skin. The embellishment around the neckline is especially problematic. I do like the colors, though, and the cut is nice. Had to send it back. February 11, 2015
Floaty dream top This is another lovely piece that instantly became a staple in my summer wardrobe. So simple but so elegant! Pop it on and all of a sudden you just look *awfully* nice-! :) I wasn't sure about it - I was worried it would look like a maternity top or something... but definitely not, the smocked part extends down far enough to say "waist" (which is a GOOD thing when you're trying to demonstrate that you have one! ;). I love the beading and the colors and... well... everything about it! The only thing I didn't totally love was the price... it seemed a bit... steep... (ack!) but I do love it so I guess it was worth it! August 13, 2013
Breezy Tunic The fit is excellent and comfortable and light weight. The view is attractive. Great color and look for all occasions! July 22, 2013

Wines » Current Releases » Cabernet Sauvignon
Cave 7 2011
Deep within the hillside on the Pine Ridge estate lies nearly a mile of caves in which we store our treasured wines. Tucked away farthest into the mountainside is Cave 7, the most secluded wing of the system. We present to you a Cabernet Sauvignon that expresses depth, richness and complexity worthy of its namesake.
The fruit for our 2011 Cave 7 Cabernet Sauvignon was specially chosen from a collection of our favorite vineyards across our 200 acres of estate property. The majority of this vintage's grapes were sourced from our select blocks in Rutherford and Oakville as well as the winery's home Stags Leap District vineyard.
The mild 2011 vintage allowed for a long hang time, resulting in evenly ripe, complex flavors in the berries. The fruit for this wine was harvested at an optimal level of ripeness late September to late October. Fermentation took place at a high temperature to ensure that maximum extraction was achieved before the wine was racked to 30% new French oak barrels. The wine was aged in barrel for a total of 18 months before bottling.
This dense ruby wine enchants the nose with an opulent bouquet of intense and enticing red berry and candied cherry aromas, shrouded in wisps of dried rose, bay leaf and cinnamon sugar toast. The palate is dense and sumptuous, opening with luscious dark fruit flavors of blackberry preseves and black cherry tart that give way to touches of dark baking chocolate, olive tapenade and tobacco leaf. The finish is supple and lingering, framed by fine tannins and a touch of smoky oak.
Deep and alluring, this vintage of our Cave 7 Cabernet would prove an excellent foil to a hearty meal, such as pan-roasted duck breast with winter squash and huckleberry sauce, or a portobello mushroom burger with grilled onions, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. It would also partner deliciously with Abbaye de Belloc, a Basque
ewe's milk cheese.

IVCCD Board hears update on Orpheum Theater Center strategic planning process
The IVCCD Board of Directors heard an update on the Orpheum Theater Center's Strategic Planning when it met last week. Dr. Tom Westbrook from Drake University gave a 15-minute presentation to the Board on Wednesday that touched on the Orpheum's mission, its vision, and goals going forward.
"The Orpheum is worth fighting for," says Dr. Westbrook, who was appointed in May to spearhead strategic planning for the Orpheum Theater Center. Jacque Goodman, Chancellor of Continuing Education and Training, and Lindsey Van Wyk, Orpheum Theater Center Event Coordinator, were also present at the meeting.
Dr. Westbrook outlined a set of goals for the Orpheum; the first was to secure ongoing revenue sources and the second, to create community ties and support. A third goal, titled 'other' included a number of objectives, one being the use of the Orpheum as an education venue. He noted that securing a 501(c)(3) designation along with continuous exploration of grant opportunities would be vital to the success of the Orpheum.
Other notes from the presentation included objectives such as creating a marketing strategy, forming a culturally diverse community advisory board, and rebooting the Friends of the Orpheum and Orpheum Theater Guild. The presenter finished by saying the next step will be prioritizing these initiatives and putting them into action.
In other matters, the Board: approved modifications to the Promise Jobs master agreement and Iowa Workforce Development to provide services FY15; approved an amendment to the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Region 6 Master Agreement; approved Accelerated Career Education (ACE) training program agreement with Ashing Machine and Tool Company of Grinnell; approved athletics use agreement with Marshalltown Community School District for use of MCC's Student Activity Center and Babe Harder Gymnasium for the 2014-15 academic year due to renovation of the MHS Roundhouse; approved an athletic trainer services agreement between MCC and McFarland Clinic.
Two donations were accepted by the IVCCD Board: Doug Turnbull/Turnbull Manufacturing donated gun parts to the Iowa Valley Community College Grinnell Gunsmith Technology program; Dr. Robert L. Moore and Linda A. Moore donated $1,000 to the Jean Seberg International Film Festival.
The next regular meeting of the IVCCD Board of Directors will be Wednesday, Sept. 10, at 4 pm in Iowa Falls.

MoMo Is the New FoMo and It Will Give You a Panic Attack
First there was YOLO, the battle-cry of teens everywhere as they demanded other people hold their beers and "watch this, bro." Then there was FoMo (Fear of Missing Out), an existential angst that reminded all of us that we were missing out on everything and that death is both cold and inevitable. And now, just in case… »
