Many physical and biological systems display phase transitions , where a slight change in a parameter greatly changes the behavior of the system; and bistability , where for a certain range of this parameter either of two phases can be obtained, depending on initial conditions. We suggest the...
We study the evolvability and dynamics of artificial genetic regulatory networks (GRNs), as active control systems, realizing simple models of biological clocks that have evolved to respond to periodic environmental stimuli of various kinds with appropriate periodic behaviors. GRN models may...
Quorum sensing is a cell-density-dependent gene regulation system that allows an entire population of bacterial cells to communicate in order to regulate the expression of certain or specific genes in a coordinated way depending on the size of the population. We present a model of the quorum...
At the heart of the development of fertilized eggs into fully formed organisms and the adaptation of cells to changed conditions are genetic regulatory networks (GRNs). In higher multicellular organisms, signal selection and multiplexing are performed at the cis-regulatory domains of genes, where...
The development of structure-learning algorithms for gene regulatory networks depends heavily on the availability of synthetic data sets that contain both the original network and associated expression data. This article reports the application of SynTReN, an existing network generator that...
An enormous body of information has been obtained by molecular and cellular biology in the last half century. However, even these powerful approaches are not adequate when it comes to higher-level biological structures, such as tissues, organs, and individual organisms, because of the...
We propose a Bayesian approach for constructing gene networks based on microarray data. Especially, we focus on Bayesian methods that can provide soft (probabilistic) information. This soft information is attractive not only for its ability to measure the level of confidence of the solution, but...
Systems biology invites us to consider the dynamic interactions between the components of a living cell. Here, by evolving artificial organisms whose genomes encode protein networks, we show that a coupling emerges at the evolutionary time scale between the protein network and the structure of...
The circadian clock of Drosophila is a model pathway for research in biological clock mechanisms, both with traditional experimental approaches and with emerging systems biology approaches utilizing mathematical modeling and in silico computer simulation.

There are many advantages of PMP certifications. Project managers seek a PMP certification in order to prove their higher level of education, experience and skill. The PMP designation is administered by the Project Management Institute (PMI) to identify those individuals who can show they are highly skilled in their field.
To attain a PMP designation, one must meet stringent requirements including formal education, documented experience, working knowledge in the project management field and successful completion of the PMP exam. With that said, let's focus on the bigger advantages of PMP Certifications.
PMI certification has now been recognized internationally for ISO 17024 accreditation. It has been endorsed by over 85 countries as a standard of excellence. PMP certified managers can provide tremendous benefits to global corporations and at the national levels. One of the biggest advantages of a PMP certification is that it will automatically add value and distinction to your credentials and CV.
From extensive studies, project managers who have earned the PMP credential can expect to earn higher salaries, higher levels of job responsibility and enhanced opportunities for career advancement. According to PMI, the average salary for a project manager is $101,505; yet PMP accredited individuals can expect up to 20% more.
Preparation for the PMP exam and obtaining certification will give you access to industry standard tools and techniques to keep you on the leading edge. Exposure to new ideas and approaches broadens your horizon, enhances your leadership position for mentoring and allows you to extrapolate to manage bigger opportunities.
Employers of PMP certified managers can expect a high level of ethical behavior as all PMI members are required to uphold PMI's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. PMI's code is an industry accepted code of ethics and professional conduct. The full agreement can be found at www.pmi.org.

By Andrew Deavin 05 Feb 2014
The main character is a detective who gets psychic impressions from the things he eats. And that is the least crazy thing in the entire book.
If you've been reading comics for a long time, you'll understand that unique concepts aren't exactly at a surplus. As the kind of person who will absolutely absorb every genre and style of comic series as if it were my very lifeblood, I find myself in a precarious position. As much as I love everything comics do - the way the good ones masterfully combine text and images to stunning artistic genius, the way bad ones are so charismatically charming in their pulpy trashiness... you get to a point where it really does feel like running in circles.
Chew aims to change this. With a concept of utter inanity and an artist so new to the block you can practically hear him cutting his teeth, Chew is so deliciously fresh it blows my mind. The world of Chew is a demented cartoon universe in which the characters have names like "Ms. Mintz" and "Savoy" - the focus on food, taste, cooking, etc. - and yet it brings a decidedly adult tone to the proceedings. Characters swear like a sailor, there's death, violence, murder, gore. It's almost MAD-esque in its lunacy, and yet it has a not-so-subtle undercurrent of dry political satire almost unique of early 2000AD serials.
But I think the strangest thing about the series is that it... is... beautiful.
Rob Guillory's style smacks you right in the gut with bright, eye-popping visuals that create an atmosphere like something out of a dream. Despite Layman's witty, flowing script, it truly is the art that takes Chew from merely another stupid-fun comedy series to being something truly and utterly unique. I'm reminded of Steve Purcell; and then, Sam & Max was never so deceptively cringe-worthy. Beneath the purile nature of a lot of what goes on lies a provocative surreality, breathing a genuine life into what could have easily been a flash in the pan.
Chew goes on for a long, long time after Volume 1. If I had the power I'd compel you to buy all of it at once and just lose yourself into this bizarre pseudo-fantasy. Instead, I'll say this: take a chance on this plucky little volume, and see if you don't like the taste of Chew.

Re: Non Authorized Inq Letter
[This is a semi-frivolous post on thus topic, but I didn't know anything about the 14 day window, and I wasted a lot of it waiting to see what HSBC had to say to me about re-fi on a balloon mortgage with them.] (Ecuse errorsI have been havign lots of troulle withspelling and typing, between feeling of crisis, and my cat being severly ill (she was put down today, I just can't write posts well)
I haven't read this entire thread. And indeed, I did give permission for the inquiry. However, HSBC vcalled me, I was told that they [HSBC] couldn't discuss any rates without the inquiry. HSBC website says that the credit is pulled AFTER I have applied for a loan. I am wondering how I could have applied for a loan, when I didn't know what products they had. And I did not call them, they solicited me.
And when I spoke to the woman's manager, I said that I wanted to know ALL of my options. When I met with this woman to discuss the loans, she refused to show me rates for 2nd morthgages saying they were "too expensive" (as opposed to applying for a loan where I need to borrow an additional 7K @ a 5% Loan origination fee? ) I also wanted to discuss unsecured products, and they didn't discuss those with me either.
[Wouldn't it be great if HSBC would cooporate with me, by giving me about 5K, (about how many times this happened to me in the past year. Then I could use it to pay down my impending $22 K balloon. Now this would be truly creative re-financing of my balloon!]

Yummy Dough Lets Kids Have Their Modelling Fun And Eat It Tooby Kim Patterson
So we all remember that kid in preschool, the one who had to taste every craft (and sometimes non-craft) item that was available. Anyways, one item that was always safe to eat was the modelling dough. Just because it was safe though, does not mean that it was tasty. Knowing that kids are going to try eating it no matter what, Yummy Dough was created.
Zynga's Social Media Games - Google Checkout vs PayPalby Ron Callari
On July 10, a story broke on Techcrunch inferring that Google was secretly investing $100-200 million in social media gaming with Zynga, the online game-maker of Farmville and Mafia Wars. While Google becoming a developer of online games is an interesting venture for the search giant, I think the bigger story is why?

Do you think the series is over?
The Bruins appear to be in command of the Eastern Conference Finals after taking a 2-0 series lead with a 6-1 win over the Penguins.
The series returns to TD Garden for Game 3 Wednesday night, and it seems to be Boston's to lose at this point.
These are the same Penguins that were arguably the best team in hockey all season long, however, and the star power is still there. With the likes of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin in the lineup with the potential to break through at some point, this series could be far from over.
Bob Beers made this case on UNO Sports Tonight Monday night as well as some other Bruins-related topics.
"If you relax against the Penguins, they'll make you pay," Beers said. "They have not had a lead yet in this series so we'll see what happens if they do have a lead. The Bruins did not relax [Monday]. They were relentless, especially on the back-check. They took away the will for Pittsburgh because they were always in their face, always somebody there, and they were always supporting everywhere on the ice.
"There were a couple chances, they're going to get opportunities, but you wanna limit them and you want to continue to be in their face at all times."
Click the video above to hear what else Beers had to say with Gary Tanguay and Michael Felger.

I have immense experience in writing Functional Specification document that outlines the functionality of each of the elements of the application. It also contains acceptance criteria or use case that the developer may use to perform unit testing. I would love to offer my services in developing functional specification document for developers to follow. I can also deploy, if you don't have one in place, a task management system, upload the various components from the FS so that the developer can assign them to themselves, complete them, and have them ready for testing. I will then test the system so ensure that they meet the expectation, report all bugs, review them when fixed, then then retest to ensure that the app works perfectly. I will also monitor and coordinate tasks and developers to ensure that they are on track and conduct regular meeting with you or update you via email. All documentations will be maintained in Google drive and/or via the task management system for easy access. Link to Functional Specification Document extract: http://tinyurl.com/demoFSextract

Tameka Evans describes her self-portrait at the Bard College Course Graduation, June 9, 2015.
By Griselda Macias, Pre-college Coordinator
Tameka Evans with Griselda Macias at the Bard College Course graduation, June 9, 2015 at LAYC.
It was just a week ago when I was anxious and proud to see all my students graduate from the Bard College Clemente Course at LAYC (Bard). Every year in June I have the honor of seeing 20 plus students graduate from Bard, a course designed to provide students with an authentic college experience before transitioning to a long-term educational institution. Students who complete the requirements earn six college credits in the humanities.
Last Tuesday, as I announced each student's name and gave them their certificate of completion, I could see the joy and pride on their faces. Each of our Bard students has a story to tell, some are young parents, others are undocumented (dreamers), and some have been homeless. There's always a student's story that resonates in my mind, and this year was no exception.
Tameka Evans is a mother to three beautiful children, two of which she had while completing the course- twins! In the fall of 2014, when Tameka came to interview for the course, I remember asking her if she thought it was doable to enroll in Bard while parenting her three-year-old and being pregnant. Her quick and confident response was "Absolutely, I can do it!" One thing Tameka didn't tell me was that her living situation was not stable, but she started the course in September and quickly impressed me and her professors with the quality of her work and her dedication to learning. In January, Tameka gave birth to her twin boys and found a stable home. Within two weeks of giving birth, Tameka was e-mailing, calling, and texting about the assignments she needed to complete in order to not fall behind.
At the graduation, Tameka cried of happiness as she was presented with a scholarship for her unwavering commitment and bravery to continue to pursue her college goals and complete the Bard course. Tameka's story is not only inspiring, but represents the struggles that many of our young aspiring college students encounter. It is students like Tameka that keep me motivated and committed to our LAYC youth.

Montgomery County Conservation Corps 2014-2015 Cohort
By Eric Macias, GED Instructor - Montgomery County Conservation Corps
On May 29th, the Montgomery County Conservation Corps (MCCC) held their end of the cohort ceremony to celebrate the accomplishments of the past five months. Our crews pushed past hot and cold weather to put in the necessary work to maintain the county's parks while maintaining educational focus. Building trails and compost bins, contributing to re-forestation in Montgomery County, invasive species removal, and wetland management are just a few of the projects the team completed this cohort. Our youth built relationships, environmental knowledge, campfires and skills for work and life.
Academically, it was an extremely successful cohort. From the initial group, five students have passed their entire GED test and attained a Maryland High School Diploma; another five have passed at least one section of the test, and four are ready to test in at least one section of the test. There were also other noteworthy successes in the classroom. For example, there were intellectual conversations based on Howard Zinn's literature that sparked critical thinking, a group effort to debunk social issues that impact our lives, and an amazing collaboration in solving what seemed to be terrifying mathematical equations. The students created a learning community that allowed them to reach some of their academic goals.
The success on the field while working at county, regional, and state parks mirrors the success in the classroom. The students learned many skills including plant identification and trail maintenance. One of the work sites was Rock Creek/Dumbarton Oaks Park where they helped clear 12,000 square feet of invasive species from Rock Creek National Park. They also worked at Eco-City Farm building compost bins, composting, building a small green house, removing invasive plants, mulching trees, and maintaining the farm.
The classroom and the field highlights don't necessarily illustrate the entire success of youth's success. MCCC youth also participated in other events that brought a positive light to the program and the youth themselves. For instance, Geovany Posadas, MCCC's Jr. Crew Leader, was part of a panel on Resilient Latino Youth that spoke at a National Council of La Raza event and on Capitol Hill. Tyriq Jordan, Christian McCleary, and Roland Spencer, participated in a conversation with Attorney General Eric Holder regarding police brutality.
To keep students motivated and reward them for their efforts, MCCC voted two or three different youth who excelled during the week. Students needed to have had a 100% attendance rate, had worked hard in the field, and had completed assignments and work in the classroom to be eligible for an award each week. That award was a wrestling belt: either national champion, inter-continental champion, or tag-team belts if two students were even. Every Friday morning, when we did our weekly announcements, we named the winner/s and everyone cheered. The staff decided to start a tradition that the youth who won the most belts throughout the cohort would receive a live-size cut-out of a wrestler with their face on it as we presented them with the award of most belts won in the cohort. Congratulations to Roger Dadja!
All in all, the past five months were filled with moments of success and laughter that helped everyone come together as a strong learning community and workforce program that focuses on the great achievements of our young men and women. The picture above, taken at the end of the cohort ceremony, exemplifies what that community looks like!
We now look forward to another successful cohort, which will begin on July 6, 2015.

New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu and LAYC President & CEO Lori Kaplan at CGI America in Denver, June 9, 2015.
For the third year, LAYC President & CEO Lori Kaplan served as an advisor to the Clinton Global Initiative America (CGI America) "Reconnecting Youth" Workgroup during the recent three-day convening June 8-10th in Denver, Colorado. As one of thirteen working groups, "Reconnecting Youth" brought together over 90 leaders from the private, non-government, government, philanthropic, and educational sectors to discuss pathways to employment and educational re-engagement for over five million youth in our country today. This working group was fortunate to be joined by New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu who highlighted the youth engagement efforts underway in his city to connect youth to education and employment opportunities. As an advisor, Lori worked to frame the goals, speakers and activities of the session.
The "Commitment Makers" at CGI America.
This year, LAYC along with others highlighted above, was one of 80 new CGI America commitment makers. LAYC's commitment is to create the Promotor Pathway National Network whose mission will be to scale and replicate LAYC's evidence-based model in multiple communities and schools across the country. LAYC's Promotor Pathway is a pioneering client management model designed to help the region's most vulnerable youth succeed academically, obtain long-term employment, and live healthy and productive lives as they transition to adulthood. Promotores provide intensive, long-term, one-on-one mentoring and case management to remove barriers to success and foster connection and self-agency. LAYC's first replication site Mano a Mano, is a community-based organization in Oregon.
Geovany Posadas at the NCLR Report: "Resilient Latino Youth: In Their Own Words" event, April, 30, 2015.
By Eric Macias, GED Instructor
On April 30th, Representative Tony Cardenas from California hosted a report briefing on Capitol Hill where a panel of experts talked about the adversity young Latina/os face that tends to lead them towards detention centers. The briefing was mainly based on the recently released NCLR report, "Resilient Latino Youth: In Their Own Words."
Geovany Posadas, a Montgomery County Conservation Corps participant, was part of the panel where he added a youth voice to the data collected in the report. His story of facing adversity fit well with what Patricia Foxen from NCLR, Maricela Garcia from Gads Hill Center, and Jeff Fleischer from the Youth Advocate Program (also a panelist) discussed in the form of statistics and shocking figures, such as the amount of money spent annually on juvenile arrests. I am glad and proud that Geovany spoke and personified what the report highlighted. Geovany's advocacy in support of other young Latina/os in similar situations as his exemplified the needed support of young adults and programs that create safe spaces for youth to create their own positive pathway towards adulthood.
By Geovany Posadas, Montgomery County Conservation Corps Participant
What I spoke about was the different situations I have dealt with in my life and how I overcame those situations. I have dealt with the juvenile system many times, and I overcame that by understanding that I was wrong sometimes. I wanted to change; I wanted something positive. I thought about the difference I can make for my future, and I made changes.
I thought the event on the Hill was interesting. I got to learn more about youth adversity and the ways that we as a community can help those in need. Youth are actually our future, and we have to help build that future. Youth make mistakes and maybe end up in jail, but the government keeps them in cells without any intention of helping create their new futures. I felt as if I was a person who could help contribute to this change. I want to be able to give back to the community after being helped by a community.
#LAYCDreamers and allies march in Columbia Heights to the immigration reform forum, April 30, 2015.
by Cecilia Dos Santos, Healthy Relationships Program Coordinator, and Heryca Serna, Healthy Relationships Case Manager
As Congressman Luis Gutierrez looked down at her from the stage repeating, "You will be a U.S. citizen," Kathryn's hopes and dreams came to the surface and a single tear rolled down her cheek. He was speaking directly to her, but as we witnessed this exchange we sensed the relief, hopefulness, courage, and optimism overflowing from the entire audience. On April 30th, the local community welcomed the Congressman to Bell Multicultural High School where over 40 LAYC youth packed the aisles, sporting vibrant red #LAYCDreamers t-shirts, flashing posters exclaiming "Keep Our Families Together!" and chanting in unison against deportations. The energy in the room was electrifying and impossible to ignore. This was our community, vibrant and demanding to be heard. The feeling of unity, particularly among all of LAYC's youth, was present. One young man, full of enthusiasm despite not identifying as Latino or speaking Spanish, was there as an ally supporting immigration reform vital to his community.
#LAYCDreamers and allies stopped for the perfect photo op at the "My Culture, Mi Gente" mural in Columbia Heights by artist Joel Bergner, April 30, 2015.
Congressman Gutierrez is traveling the nation on his Immigration Action National Tour to educate communities about the President's executive orders on the expansion of DACA (Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals) and new DAPA (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans). Two young women from LAYC were among those selected to ask questions. Kathryn and Claudia chose to address the Congressman from their own life experiences and with a hope for ensuring a safe future for their entire community. Specifically, they spoke to the need for comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship, and about the human rights protections for Central American children fleeing violence in their home country.
LAYC has been a safe space for youth and families, offering opportunities to improve youths' lives with education, wellness, and job-readiness programs. One of those is the Healthy Relationships Program, which aims to support youth survivors of dating violence and sexual abuse. During our weekly Nuestras Voces (our voices) group, we invited our participants to attend this immigration rally, and immediately Claudia's eyes grew wide. We had her full attention. Claudia was eager to know how she could be more involved. Youth and immigrant women are often invisible within this growing movement. However, Claudia and Kathryn recognized this rally as an opportunity to raise their voices, share their experiences, and take action in a movement for change.
The young women in our Healthy Relationships groups know that we cannot address the causes and solutions to dating and sexual violence without also acknowledging the injustices faced by our communities. This means talking about the reality of youth's lives: living in fear of deportation, family separation, and police brutality which deny young people the opportunity to continue their education, seek dignified employment, support their families, and live their dreams (#LAYC Dreamers stand with #BlackLivesMatter). Youth navigate complex systems that constantly challenge their attempts to end cycles of violence. These intersectional issues are ever present for our program participants and other LAYC youth. It is in our Nuestras Voces meetings and public spaces such as the Congressman's rally that LAYC elevates youth, like these young women, to make their voices heard. When we uplift the voices of those who have been silenced and pushed to the margins, we raise the voices of all our youth seeking justice, safe families, safe homes, and safe communities.
As staff witnessing the courage and leadership of youth like Kathryn, Claudia, and the other LAYC supporters at the rally, we intend to keep this sense of community moving forward.
On June 6, LAYC will host a free DACA application preparation clinic for eligible youth. Please help spread the word, and offer your time to this great cause. With your support, we will continue to empower all of our extraordinary young people.
Visit the LAYC DACA Resource Page, share the Facebook Event, and Tweet to your followers.

Tristan and David were great hosts! They made us feel welcomed and recommended things to do around town. Their home is beautiful and in a great location, we will definitely revisit!
This apartment is just beautiful! I wish it were mine! Tristan and David were incredibly accommodating, especially since my daughter and I arrived fairly late (Women's World Cup Game). Tristan kept in contact very well and both made us feel right at home.
Tristan's apartment is a beautiful, quiet and restful retreat. My husband and I very much enjoyed our night in his space. Not only was it very attractive but also very tidy and convenient to downtown. Although our stay was short we would recommend Tristan's apartment to anyone looking for a nice stay in Montreal!
You couldn't actually hope for a better place to stay in Montreal. Tristan and David are gracious hosts but it only starts there. Their home is a little bit more comfortable than my own home...and my house is incredibly comfortable. But these gentlemen have seen to just about every detail. The room is so comfortable and quiet. The bed is comfortable. Open the drawers of the bedside stands and you'll find a place to plug in your electronics. They've thought of everything. And the location is great, too. It's a quick walk to the Village and the metro station is super close, too. That makes it easy to explore the rest of the city, too. I knew their place would be great; I just had a feeling. But I was surprised and delighted. And when was the last time I said that about a hotel or BnB? Not once ever.
We had an awesome time staying with Tristan and David. Their apartment is beautiful and in a great location, and they were so lovely and welcoming. Thanks for the tips and making Montreal so accessible.
Tristan and David made us feel at home. The room was spacious and the apartment was well decorated and neat. We were in a very nice neighborhood with free parking right out front. The metro was so close that it made getting around the city very convenient.
Be sure to ask them for places to eat and go! They have great suggestions!
Tristan and David were perfect hosts! We loved their beautiful, immaculate space. We felt very welcome and loved the neighbourhood! Both Tristan and David were very helpful and quick to respond! Thank you for a fantastic family getaway :)

About the Host, Tristan
France native living in Montreal for more than 10 years now. I'm a nature lover, I'm very respectful and deeply in love with Airbnb. We've had the chance to meet exceptional people from all over the world along the years we've been hosting guests and I definitely think Airbnb is the best way to travel and discover places.
I speak French of course, English and I still have a bit of Spanish from my time living in Mexico.
I am 29 as my boyfriend David who lives with me. If you're about to share the place with us, we're quiet respectful and fun (I think!). We'll be really happy to welcome you to our home and definitely ready to help you with the city :-)
Looking forward to meet you!

We rarely think of insects as being little more than everyday pests. Flies interrupting a breezy day, ant invading a picnic, crickets disrupting the quiet of an early evening. There are less bugs to worry about these days -- and scientists say this is good reason for alarm.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to new statistics, the world's population of insects has fallen by nearly half. Which is very bad news for humanity and the world's delicate ecosystem.
As published in a recent edition of Science, the number of slugs, spiders, worms and other invertebrates has fallen by 45 percent over the past 35 years. This came at a time when the human population has doubled.
Live Catholic, Shop Catholic -- by gong here --
Whatever will feel about them, insects play a vital role in pollinating crops, pest control, decomposition and ensuring soil remains packed with nutrients, as well as water filtration.
The decline in invertebrates is believed to be linked to the loss of their habitats and climate change.
In the United Kingdom alone, the number of beetles, butterflies, bees and wasps has fallen by up to 60 percent. Experts warn that fewer insects would have a huge effect on crop production as up to 75 percent are pollinated by insects, amounting to around 10 percent of the world's food supply.
Scientists also fear that a drop in the insect population could also spark a decline in birds, which prey on pests that damage crops, and amphibians, which help keep water supplies free from algae.
Less insects also compromise food production due to reduced pollination, seed dispersal and insect predation.
But the impact the continuing loss of animals, including invertebrates, has on the spread of human disease needs to be better understood as a priority, experts claim.
"We were shocked to find similar losses in invertebrates as with larger animals, as we previously thought invertebrates to be more resilient," Dr. Ben Collen, from University College London's Biosciences Department, said.
"While we don't fully understand what the long-term impact of these declining numbers will be, we are currently in the potentially dangerous position of losing integral parts of ecosystems without knowing what roles they play within it.
"Prevention of further declines will require us to better understand what species are winning and losing in the fight for survival and from studying the winners, apply what we learn to improve conservation projects.
"We also need to develop predictive tools for modelling the impact of changes to the ecosystem so we can prioritize conservation efforts, working with governments globally to create supportive policy to reverse the worrying trends we are seeing," Collen says.

Active within 5 days
Hi guys. My name is Kevin. I'm a 42 year old...
Hi guys. My name is Kevin. I'm a 42 year old gay white male, 6' 3", 210 pounds, brown eyes, bald, keeping what hair I have buzzed. I live in midtown Atlanta close to Piedmont park. So I guess I will start off by telling you a little bit about myself. I'm an easy going, laid back, confident, secure individual. Well grounded, knowing what I want out of life, and hoping to meet someone who feels the same way. I'm not cocky, just confident. I've experienced enough of life to know what's important and what isn't. I work in the funeral industry as an embalmer and a funeral director. (yes I embalm dead people). I have been in this business for about 15 years now. As strange as it may sound, I love what I do. I enjoy being able to help a family in their time of need. It is an honor to be there and help guide them through what is quite possibly the most difficult situation that they will ever go through. I'm one of the lucky ones who receives a paycheck for doing something I love so much. I always try to find something positive in every person and situation in life. I try and look at the glass as half full verses half empty. I have learned over the years that a positive attitude will carry you so much farther in life than a negative one will. I realize that life is not always a big bowl of sunshine, but it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom either. I try to live life on life's terms, but adding bits and pieces of happiness and joy whenever possible. And, in my opinion, when you have peace and serenity within, it's only natural for that same peace and serenity to emit from you to others. I have been single now for about 3 years. I've dated a couple of times since becoming single, but nothing too serious. Perhaps that will change in the future, perhaps not. Who knows? But I thought maybe this site would be a good way to at least meet some like minded guys who are serious about meeting new people as well. I consider myself to be a true romantic in every sense of the word. I love walking on the beach late at night holding handing hands, or even a local park for that matter. Going for a long drive in the "country" on a Sunday afternoon, sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch of a log cabin in the mountains. Or, snuggling up and "spooning" in bed on a cold night. I have been known to send someone flowers for no reason at all, leave a sticky note on the bathroom mirror, open the car door for my date, and even give a back rub when needed. Oh, and one more thing, I love to kiss. Sweet God in Heaven, do I love to kiss. And I've been told I'm pretty good at it too! I enjoy going out to dinner, but am just as happy staying in and eating a home cooked meal. I'm passed the stage of going out to the clubs. I no longer drink, so what's the point? I quit drinking about two years ago, as I saw that it was getting out of hand. It was then that I decided to put the bottle down before it put me down. I would prefer someone who rarely drinks or never does. That's just me though. To each his own :) Well, I guess that's enough for now. Maybe you've read something that peaks your interest. If so, please feel free to drop me a line. Hope to hear from you soon......

The Daily Plant : Wednesday, October 18, 2000
Ready, Set, Go! Runners Take Off Around The Central Park Reservior To Celebrate A Renovation
Faithful joggers turn out even when the skies threaten rain. In spite of dark clouds, runners were present yesterday to test out the newly renovated land around the reservoir in Central Park. To punctuate this occasion-the coincidence of a ribbon cutting and a daily jog-the Commissioner sounded an air horn, and the runners set off.
This renovation, funded by the Henry J. Nias Foundation, in partnership with the Central Park Conservancy, reconstructed the landscape around the reservoir between the runner's track and the bridle path. The landscape around the reservoir suffers from the popularity of the track. Runners, equestrians, dog walkers, and pedestrians cross through this area to enter and exit the track. The entrance at 90th Street has been refurbished, and is now a space for runners to gather, stretch and rest. With new benches, a drinking fountain, and information kiosk, this area has become a meeting place and resting area for runners and parks patrons. Parks has also revegetated the area, refurbished the turf and meadow areas, stabilized embankments, and regraded the bridle path.
The reservoir area of Central Park and the track around it are highly used areas in the park. The running track bears the pounding feet of about 5,000 runners a day, and is for many New Yorkers an integral part of keeping fit and healthy.
Guaranteed to be the busiest Parks properties in the Emerald Empire over the next two weeks, Yankee and Shea Stadium prepare to host New York baseball fans of opposing loyalties at the first Subway Series since 1956. This could be the Yankee's fourth championship in the last five years, or the Mets' first since 1986. The phenomenon of two NY teams pitted against each other promises to divide Parkies who normally work side by side in harmony. Who are you rooting for? E mail "Schaffer" (no first name) to cast your vote as a baseball fan and as a Parkie. Results will be recorded in the Plant.
New Yorkers of all ages will come to Central Park to pick pumpkins, design their own costumes, create arts & crafts, listen to Broadway performances, compete in costume contests, dress their pets, watch children's shows, get spooked in a Haunted House, get their faces painted, and more. We are asking for your help in providing volunteer staff for the event. All volunteers will receive Halloween hats, lunch, and shirts. In turn, volunteers will be asked to staff the venues from 9:45 a.m. through 3:00 p.m. For example, they will help children pick pumpkins, will paint faces, and will assist costume designers. To volunteer, please call Katie Langhammer at (212) 360-1361 or e mail her at email@example.com

More than 100 community leaders and residents turned out Monday morning to greet Commissioner Stern, elected officials and band members from Public School 45 at a groundbreaking ceremony for the $2 million second phase of a $5 million reconstruction of Clove Lakes Park on Staten Island. "It is obvious that this community is concerned with the preservation of Staten Island parks," said Staten Island Borough President Ralph J. Lamberty. "And our response is to thank you for keeping us focused on the right goals."

Pinback, with Tim Kinsella
Mid-'00s contemporaries Modest Mouse and Death Cab for Cutie broke through to the mainstream playing a similar kind of cold, earnest rock, but no such luck for Pinback. The San Diego act is maybe a little too unassuming for the masses — no monster hooks, no sexy back story — but the dynamic interplay between core members Rob Crow and Zack Smith has resulted in some very smart, fresh, math-y (in a good way) rock songs over the years. Opener Tim Kinsella is a veteran of Cap'n Jazz, Owls, Joan of Arc, and a few other bands that shepherded emo music into a more mature, musically inventive place.

KKFI New Blood: The Next Generation
John Velghe & the Prodigal Sons, Amy Farrand, and Hearts of Darkness are among the local acts lined up for this fundraiser for community-radio station KKFI 90.1. Promoting the city's culture on the airwaves can be a thankless endeavor, so throw these folks a bone, or whatever they're asking for at the door.
Saturday, June 16, at Davey's Uptown Ramblers Club (3402 Main, 816-931-3122)
Jimmy Cliff, with 77 Jefferson
Jimmy Cliff has been collaborating of late with Tim Armstrong of Rancid, which is pretty amazing. It's unclear how that will influence the Grinders performance of the unofficial reggae ambassador to the world, but I'm thinking it couldn't hurt. The local reggae dudes in 77 Jefferson open.
Friday, June 15, at Crossroads KC at Grinders (417 East 18th Street, 816-472-5454)
Gin Blossoms
Gin Blossoms never got much critical love, and the cool bands of today never cite them as an influence. They deserve better. New Miserable Experience is an alt-rock classic, stacked with pop-rock hit after pop-rock hit. And who among you will deny the chops so plainly evident in such songs as "Lost Horizon" and "Til I Hear It From You"? I dare you to do so in my presence.

Summer Breeze: Yacht Rock Tribute
If you like piña coladas or Michael McDonald's husky voice or riding the way the wind does, you'd do well to stop by this annual party, which returns to RecordBar after last year's show at now-shuttered Crosstown Station. Bandleader Chris Sieggen is guiding a crew of local and ex-pat musicians through a set highlighting the easy-breezy sounds of the Doobie Brothers, Boz Scaggs, Hall and Oates, Steely Dan, and various one-hit wonders of 1970s AM radio. The band is tight, and sailing attire is encouraged (seriously).
Friday, June 15, at RecordBar (1020 Westport Road, 816-753-5207)
Broncho, with Be/Non and Soft Reeds
Tulsa's Broncho runs on the twin engines of classic power pop and punk rock; the band wouldn't have been out of place on the much-loved Kansas City label Titan Records in the late 1970s and early '80s. Opening are two local bands that also draw inspiration from the sounds of the 1970s: Soft Reeds (nervous glam rock) and Be/Non (theatrical psych).
Friday, June 15, at the Riot Room (4048 Broadway, 816-442-8179)
Wymond Miles, with Gemini Revolution and Ambulants
Sacred Bones Records is pretty much killing it these days. The label's current roster includes the Men, Zola Jesus, Psychic Ills, and Moon Duo — also, Fresh & Onlys guitarist Wymond Miles, who just released his moody, British-sounding, '80s-influenced debut LP, Under the Pale Moon, on the label. Opening this FOKL show is Gemini Revolution, a new project from Monta At Odds' Dedric Moore.
