Filled Focaccia with Ham and Melted Fontina
I suppose I would describe this as a kind of hot, home-made sandwich. Lovely to serve straight from the oven for lunch. We've used ham, cheese and sage here, but any kind of filling at all would be fine, including vegetables such as mushrooms or preserved artichokes, or salami – the permutations are endless.
Serves 4

You will also need a breadmaker, and a baking tray measuring 11 x 16 inches (28 x 40 cm), well greased (or a pizza baking stone).
This recipe is taken from How to Cook Book Three
Pop the ingredients for the dough, including 5 fl oz (150 ml) water into the breadmaker in the order your manual instructs. Set it to the dough only setting (as the focaccia is going to be baked in the oven) and press the start button.
Meanwhile, towards the end of the time, prepare the filling ingredients, separating the slices of ham and cutting the cheese into thin slices. When the dough is ready, remove it from the machine, turn it out on to a flat, lightly floured surface, divide it into two and then roll out one half to form a rough, rounded rectangle about 11 x 8 inches (28 x 20 cm).
Then place it on a baking tray (or pizza stone) and arrange the slices of ham on top, making sure they go right up to the edge. Follow this with the cheese, right up to the edge again, then scatter over the sage. Now give it a good seasoning of freshly milled black pepper. Then roll out the remaining dough, lay it on top of the first, pinching the edges together all the way round to completely enclose the filling. Now cover it with a clean tea cloth and leave it to puff up again for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6, 400°F (200°C).
When the dough is ready, make 15 little dimples in it with your finger and press in the sprigs of rosemary. Finally, drizzle over the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is crisp and golden. Serve the focaccia, cut into squares or wedges, straight from the oven.

Superpatriotism by Michael Parenti (San Francisco: City Lights Books, 2004, 160 paages)
to imagine the brainstorming session it took to satisfy the acronym,
"USA PATRIOT Act." The solution: "Uniting and Strengt-
hening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept
and Obstruct Terrorism Act," is not only cumbersome, it assigns
the "patriotism" label to those who support the squashing
of civil rights. The subliminal influence of this paradox manifests
itself in that vociferous breed of human often heard suggesting
that critics of U.S. policies should either pipe down or leave the
Parenti identifies this phenomenon as "the readiness to follow
national leaders unquestioningly in their dealings with other countries,
especially in confrontations involving military force." He
calls this trend "superpatriotism."
(the book) is, at essence, a how-to-manual. "It seems that
the America our super- patriots claim to love is neither a geographical
or demographic totality, nor a cultural heritage as such, nor really
a land of such unlimited freedom and economic opportunity and prosperity,"
Parenti writes. "The superpatriot's America is a simplified
ideological abstraction, an emotive symbol represented by other
abstract symbols like the flag. It is the object of a faithlike
devotion, unencumbered by honest history."
stated that way, it appears astonishingly transparent. But place
it within the context of a white supremacist capitalist patriarchy
like the USA and things get a bit more complicated. Parenti has
spent his life trying to de-complicate such matters and this book
is a crowning achievement in demystification.
the superpatriot," he explains, "those who do not share
in this uncritical Americanism ought to go live in some other country."
We've all faced that one: "Don't you love your country?"
"If you hate America so much, why live here?" "Love
it or leave it." "My country: right or wrong." As
President George H.W. Bush once intoned, "I will never apologize
for the United States of America. I don't care what the facts
breaks down the "reasoning" behind such dogma and in the
process dismantles the facile arguments and declarations of those
who have hijacked the concept of patriotism. With a familiar blend
of outrage and humor, Parenti provides the insights and the facts
one needs when responding to emotional rebuttals like those above
and those being bandied about more than ever since 9/11. He offers
precisely the kind of information that could prevent a debate from
turning into a personal quarrel…especially, as Parenti explains,
when "the protestors are made the issue instead of the policies
they are protesting."
the most seasoned dissident can wilt under the pressure of being
labeled "anti-American." Even a critic armed with facts
and figures may be drawn into a battle of personalities that distracts
from the issues that spawned it. Parenti counters: "We critics
of U.S. policy are not directing our protests against that entity
known as America but against particular U.S. leaders who, we feel,
do not represent the interests of the American people or any other
people, but who advance the goals of a privileged coterie.
says Parenti, "we should show gratitude for our freedom to
dissent by refraining from dissenting; and if we speak freely and
critically we are proving ourselves ungrateful and therefore unworthy
of the right to speak.
seems," he concludes, "we 'abuse' our rights
by simply using them."
chapters that address topics like religion, sports, the military,
and the omnipresent "We're number one" mentality,
Superpatriotism is clearly the product of many years of dealing
with all angles of U.S. society—and the influences that have
corrupted it to the point where our level of patriotism is judged
by our level of obedience.
the test of patriotism comes only by reflexively falling into lockstep
behind the leader whenever the flag is waved," Parenti declares,
"then what we have is a formula for dictatorship, not demo-
our upside-down world of ever-evolving word definitions, Michael
Parenti's Superpatriotism points us in the direction
of truth, justice, and a far more equitable "American Way."

Hi, I'm a Grade 11 high school drop out because of my own family problems and I want to rewrite my grade 11 again, but I cant go back to school because now I'm working. Please is there any school that can offer me to write at home? And I will be very happy if it can be cheaper because I really need my Matric to study further so I can reach my goals and live up to my dreams.
I am not aware of any distance learning centres where grades 11 and 12 can be done while you are working a full time job. You can do your FET certificate through colleges such as Damelin, but I am not sure of the logistical arrangements regarding class attendance. You must also remember that in order to get a matric certificate you will need to submit a portfolio of CASS activities, some of which are done through the entire FET phase (grades 10, 11 and 12), and this ongoing assessment has to have been moderated throughout. The only advice I can give is to contact your local education department offices http://www.education.gov.za/ or to contact one of the private colleges like Damelin, as they will be able to assist you.

Reuters reports this morning that Japan's lower house of parliament has passed a law authorizing creation of a new nuclear regulatory agency. The second paragraph of the story stands out to me:
The 2011 Fukushima disaster cast a harsh spotlight on the cozy ties between regulators, politicians and utilities – known as Japan's "nuclear village" – that experts say were a major factor in the failure to avert the crisis triggered when a huge earthquake and tsunami devastated the plant, causing meltdowns.
The underlying cause of the "nuclear village" where regulators are captured by the industry they regulate and the politicians also are owned by the same system applies equally as well to the situation that enabled the meltdown of global financial markets in 2008. There is far less recognition of the village aspect of Wall Street's lack of regulation in the financial crisis, and where there have been moves ostensibly toward regulation or even prosecution of crimes, they have been a sham:
On March 9 — 45 days after the speech and 30 days after the announcement — we met with Schneiderman in New York City and asked him for an update. He had just returned from Washington, where he had been personally looking for office space. As of that date, he had no office, no phones, no staff and no executive director. None of the 55 staff members promised by Holder had materialized. On April 2, we bumped into Schneiderman on a train leaving Washington for New York and learned that the situation was the same.
Tuesday, calls to the Justice Department's switchboard requesting to be connected with the working group produced the answer, "I really don't know where to send you." After being transferred to the attorney general's office and asking for a phone number for the working group, the answer was, "I'm not aware of one."
The promises of the President have led to little or no concrete action.
In fact, the new Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Working Group was the sixth such entity formed since the start of the financial crisis in 2009. The grand total of staff working for all of the previous five groups was one, according to a surprised Schneiderman. In Washington, where staffs grow like cherry blossoms, this is a remarkable occurrence.
We are led to conclude that Donovan was right. The settlement and working group — taken together — were a coup: a public relations coup for the White House and the banks. The media hailed the resolution for a few days and then turned their attention to other topics and controversies.
But for 12 million American homeowners, collectively $700 billion under water, this was just another in a long series of sham transactions.
Perhaps in homage to the Schneiderman and other sham units, the Reuters article on Japan's new agency does show a bit of caution regarding the new agency:
The legislation, however, swiftly came under fire for appearing to weaken the government's commitment to decommissioning reactors after 40 years in operation, even as it drafts an energy program to reduce nuclear power's role.
Under a deal ending months of bickering by ruling and opposition parties, the new regulatory commission could revise a rule limiting the life of reactors to 40 years in principle.
"Does this reflect the sentiment of the citizens, who are seeking an exit from nuclear power?" queried an editorial in the Tokyo Shimbun daily. "Won't it instead make what was supposed to be a rare exception par for the course?"
And as for the coziness between politicians in the US and the financial industry, we need look no further than Wednesday's appearance by Jamie Dimon before the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. One of Marcy's tweets during the hearing says all we need to know about that "hearing":
Japan's response to its meltdown has been to shut down all nuclear plants while the framework for how they will operate if they are allowed to restart is debated. Imagine how much better off the world would be if JP Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs had been shut down while a proper regulatory framework for them was developed.
Before the massive earthquake and tsunami in Japan on March 11, 2011, about a third of the country's electricity was supplied by the 54 nuclear power plants scattered throughout the country. In the intervening time, those nuclear reactors not directly damaged on March 11 have been shutting down for inspections and public opposition is preventing their re-start. The final plant remaining online, the number 3 reactor at the Tomari plant in Hokkaido, will be powered down late Saturday night into Sunday morning.
The Washington Post describes the political process by which the plants have been shut down:
The break from nuclear power is less a matter of policy than political paralysis. Japan's central government has recommitted to nuclear power in the wake of last year's triple meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi, but those authorities haven't yet convinced host communities and provincial governors that nuclear power is necessary — or that a tarnished and yet-unreformed regulatory agency is up to the job of ensuring safety.
Because Japan depends on local consensus for its nuclear decisions, those maintenance checkups — mandated every 13 months — have turned into indefinite shutdowns, and resource-poor Japan has scrambled to import costlier fossil fuels to fill the energy void.
Before the Fukushima accident, Japan operated 54 commercial reactors, which accounted for about one-third of the country's energy supply. But in the last year, 17 of those reactors were either damaged by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami or shut down because of government request. Thirty-six others were shuttered after inspections and have not been restarted.
The New York Times has more on the political standoff: Continue reading

At least 10 people have been arrested following a major drug raid in Boone County.
Jennifer Vint, Shelbie Darrell Vint, Sara Beth Bolyard, Mary Kathryn Borwder, Paul Michael Smith, Clinton Halley, Joseph Garland Bias, Timothy Brown, Scotty Hagert and Charles Scott Kingery have all been taken to the Southwestern Regional Jail, according to State Police
The bonds on those arrested ranged from $100,000 to $200,000 for each person.
State Police Sgt. Charles Sutphin said an undercover drug buy was made in the county about 6:30 a.m. Friday.
A raid was then conducted at a residence on Bias Branch Road in Madison.
In making the arrests police found heroin, marijuana, an active methamphetamine lab and a number of prescription drugs.
Authorities said an active meth lab was discovered inside a Boone County home where two people were living, and those residents were arrested.
Meth product also was hanging from the ceiling in another Boone County residence.
The suspects were arrested at multiple locations throughout the county, State Police said.
A criminal complaint alleges some of the suspects delivered marijuana, hydrocodone or methamphetamine.
Police said most of the arrests are not connected.
All the suspects are part of an investigation that has been under way for several months, police added. Some of the suspects have been charged with selling the drugs three to four times to undercover officers.
The 10 named in the arrests:

I'm a jade'd New Yorker....I just took my two nephews from Dululth Minn. there to wow and impress...and yes the food was good. the salad is big...but the appetizers and the entree...Kobe Steak....small portion ...yet very tasty.....I walked away still hungry ..(which I prefer over stuffed or filled feeling).....the bill for three drinking sodas and entres came to $103.50 which I thought was fine....not unexpected....the only thing that disappointed me was the room was not that OOh and Ahh ...looking for me... O.K. a 18ft statue with goldfish get's borring....real fast....the openness of the room is what bothered me even though I was in a banquet off to the side....maybe being on the second floor would have been more interesting....Oh well....I'm hard to impress or be wow'd.......so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt....I'm sure most people are impressed with the decorum.....especially tourists which I saw a lot of!

Knowing a bit about Japan and Kobe beef, I decided to ask the waiter - um.. is this really Kobe beef from Kobe Japan? "Yes, Yes, of course" he replied - then I said - no, it's not - you cannot import beef from Japan because of mad cow. The waiter quickly said - oh well, it's not raised in Japan- it's from Texas. Kobe beef on menus in the USA is half Wagyu breed mixed with more common breeds. Japanese genuine Kobe is more than just the breed- it is beer fed and massaged daily. Do not waste your money on American Kobe beef - just get a marbled rib eye... After that exchange - I ordered the filet mignon with wasabi crust - it was not a very good filet. The waiter was rude, and the Kung Pao chicken my friend had was subpar.

We've heard so much about Tao and how great it was, so we took advantage of restaurant week to check it out. The atmosphere is fabulous, I must say. however, the food was not so good. The peking duck spring rolls were mushy inside and came with a honey mustard sauce. Then the "kung pao chicken" came and it was basically sweet & sour chicken with peanuts sprinkled on top. Even the dessert wasn't good. I would recommend going for drinks for the experience but not to eat!

We decided to try TAO and we were disappointed. The prices are way too high, the portions were very small (I was still hungry after we left), and the service was subpar. Our waiter was unfriendly and surly and he kept insisting we get appetizers and the same thing with the desserts. He never smiled once. The place is loud, too crowded and as a New Yorker, way too touristy.

I was visiting New York from Toronto, and I booked a reservation a week ago. Coming from a restaurant entreprenuer background, the experience at TAO was remarkable and outstanding.. First we were greeted by the host which were very well coordinated and friendly and fulfilled our specific needs to have a table right next to the 18 foot buddha statue. As expected a busy friday night we waited at the bar upstairs enjoying a couple of Lychee martinis, a must try....plus enjoying the techno fusion jazz music. We got our table although the music was a little loud, the ambience from the chinese writings on the ceilings and restaurant layout upstairs facing the buddha statue. There was a gentleman playing a saxophone with the music walking all over the restaurant...and the desserts GIANT fortune cookie with white and chocolate mousse for $10 a MUST TRY TRICE...As well get the TAO double CD, breath taking comparison to any night club. Make sure you have a fat wallet but for exquisite taste of sushi, dimsum and entertainment its worth every penny. TAO, 2 thumbs up....a new era in fusion asian cusine with a touch of lounge techno jazz. ....feels like a night club while fine dining....will definitely come again....should have more special events of food testing or theme nights. Thanks for the unforgettable experience.

Reunion May
21-22, 2004
From the Alumni House:
Andy Semmel started
a new job in the U.S. State Department:
deputy assistant secretary for nuclear nonproliferation.
From Sam Maczko:
Paul Graf and his wife, Jane '62,
live in a blufftop home overlooking Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. The Grafs have two daughters
and three grandchildren. The last two are 16-month-old twin boys. Before retiring in
September 2002, Paul was a pastor of the Moravian Church Northern Province. Pastoring
in Sturgeon Bay has been exciting and rewarding, he says. The area has grown, and Paul
was chairman of the board of directors of his district camp, Mount Morris, overseeing
a $2 million expansion.
He also served on the board of a local food pantry and clothing store,
a project of the ecumenical community of churches. Paul continues in retirement as a
bishop of the Moravian Unity, serving as a consultant to Moravian churches and as a pastor
to their clergy and families. He describes his career as fulfilling and humbling, while
bringing a great sense of accomplishment.
I caught up with Paul while he and Jane were vacationing in Florida after
a church meeting in Winston-Salem, N.C. In Florida, they visited Burke Johnson,
who started college with us, graduated from Guilford College, then came back to the Seminary
(M.D.V. '67). The Grafs enjoy traveling and plan on doing more of it now that they
are retired. Paul also enjoys boating, fishing, reading, gardening, writing, hiking,
and a little home maintenance.
John Bregman, Ken Sepe, Joe Castellano,
and I see each other regularly. Most recently, we watched the Super Bowl at John's
new home. Ken, Joe, and I played in the 11th annual Rocco Calvo Invitational Alumni Golf
Tournament in November and almost froze to death. Later that evening, we attended the
third annual Alumni Awards Ceremony. Roy Goshorn '58 received
the Comenius Award for his productive and rewarding career in the news media.
Joe is involved with the recolonization of the Omicron Gamma Omega fraternity
on campus.
From Peter French:
The Class of '60 needs to be in closer touch, and I volunteered to
seek out their stories. Joe Iampietro and his wife, Marylou, have lived
in Alexandria, Va., for 40 years. After three decades as a teacher and administrator,
Joe is retired but continues to work as a test administrator for the Department of Defense.
He wants to see a large group come back for our 45th reunion in two years.
David Schattschneider retired in May 2002 from his position
as dean and vice president of Moravian Theological Seminary, and Doris, his wife, retired
last May after 33 years in the mathematics department of the College. They plan to stay
in Bethlehem, continue various academic pursuits, and travel. They are proud of daughter
Laura's Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley and post-doctoral fellowship
at UCLA.
In Washington D.C., Nancy Baker Traubitz retired from
a long career as an English professor and now serves as director of outreach programs
for the Center for Renaissance and Baroque Studies at the University of Maryland. Nancy
and Henry's son graduated from Lehigh University and their daughter from Gettysburg
College. Two grandchildren complete the picture.
As for me, I retired in 1999 as president of Newberry College in South
Carolina, then stumbled into this great job on the shores of Sarasota Bay. I am associate
vice president and dean of academic affairs as well as professor of African studies at
the University of South Florida's Sarasota campus. My good friend Tony
Falco '57 has joined me as an adjunct professor of marketing, and we play
golf as often as we can. Grace and I celebrated our 36th anniversary in December. Our
son Matt is a business analyst for Comcast in Fort Myers and our daughter Kate works
for the state Department of Revenue in Tallahassee.
Lt. Col. Bernard Nehring was awarded a Golden Jubilee
Medal recognizing him as an outstanding citizen of Niagara, Ontario, Canada. He had organized
special ceremonies there to commemorate General Sir Isaac Brock, who led British and
Canadian military forces in the War of 1812.
Reunion May 21-22, 2004
From Kathy Werst Detwiler:
Vespers 2002 was the occasion of a fine reunion of Moravian College alumni.
Pat and Monk Morelli, Roy Goshorn '58, and I
reminisced about college days.
Holiday greetings from Pat Conover Diener contained news
of her participation in Crop Walk, the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life,
and Habitat for Humanity during the past months. Our talented classmate Mary
Lesin Mackenzie Ayala shared holiday news of her children and grandchildren,
an enthusiastic group of surfers. "See the miracles" is Mary's wish
to you all.
David Thaeler Jr. and several generations of his family
have kept the Moravian Church tradition of a Christmas putz (indoor Nativity display)
alive. Theirs has been open to the public since 1974. In 1990, it was moved to their
church and has been made more beautiful with help from their fellow parishioners.
Fritz Toner was inducted into the Lehigh Valley Hall of
Fame in February 2003.
Robert G. Smerko retired April 30 from the presidency
of the Chlorine Institute, an international trade association. He had been president
since 1986.
From Pearl
I received a letter from Elaine Thomasch Nolfa after our
45th reunion. Elaine was pleased to see Marian Wagner '54, who
had been an R.A. She heard from Regina Kelly Stephenson, whose two sons
are in the military. She also sent a notice of the death of Hinda Hausman's
brother-in-law, Nathan Silverberg, of Bethlehem.
Shirley Kunsman Bilheimer misses her husband, Harold,
who died this year. Graduates of Bethlehem High School remember Harold, who was an English
teacher there before becoming an administrator. Shirley retired from public school administration
but is teaching an education course at a local college.
My oldest sister, Gladys, and her husband, Joseph Mayer '50,
celebrated their golden wedding anniversary February 1, and their five children hosted
a celebration in March. The Mayers have three grandchildren; the youngest, a boy, was
born in January to their son Fred and his wife, Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer, author of the
guidebook Insulin Pump Therapy Demystified.
Cornelia Schlotter has become a New Jersey master gardener
and was honored for her volunteer work. She diagnoses plant illnesses at nurseries in
Camden and Burlington counties, using skills fine-tuned through years of medical laboratory
analysis at Temple University Hospital.
From Helen Desh Woodbridge '54:
At the 2002 Moravian College Vespers, Cornelia Schlotter, Karen
Johnson Berry, Pearl Stein, and Bev Bell '56
had a reunion of their own.
From the Alumni House:
We extend our sympathy to Roland Passaro on the death
of his wife, Suzanne Evans Passaro '55.
Above, Sarah
Dreydoppel with her mother, Susan Lenius Dreydoppel '74, her father, Otto Dreydoppel
Jr. '74, and her grandfather, Otto Dreydoppel Sr. '52. Below, Robert Frey
with his mother, Jane, and his father, William Frey '73.

Trial Tactics
Committee Chair
Sirote & Permutt PC
Birmingham, AL
Leadership Join Subcommittee Join Committee My Communities
|2015 Trial Tactics Committee Trials and Tribulations Vol 21 Issue 2.pdf
Committee Overview
The Trial Tactics Committee is one of DRI's largest committees. This Committee is dedicated to helping the defense lawyer perfect the skills required to excel as a trial lawyer, advocate, speaker and writer. The Committee focuses on the critical tools you need to sharpen your skills as an advocate, negotiator and communicator in all settings, whether at deposition, trial, mediation or oral argument.
The focus of the Committee is to reach out to all substantive areas of DRI's membership, to transfer those skills and knowledge that work well in the courtroom to the myriad other areas of defense law where the arts of effective communication and persuasion can lead to the successful resolution of disputes. This goal will be met through the Committee's newsletter, Trials and Tribulations, and other publications. The Committee will continue to publish several articles provided by its members in the issues of For The Defense dedicated to the Trial Tactics Committee. Through these dedicated issues, our members will have numerous opportunities to be published in a highly regarded national publication.
The Committee also works periodically on Defense Library Series publications concerning all aspects of trial work, from discovery to pre-trial motions through trial.
In March of each year, the Committee will produce its annual Damages seminar in Las Vegas, Nevada, carrying on the highly successful tradition begun by Al Parnell over a decade ago. A great number of nationally renowned experts will educate lawyers, claims handlers and clients on the latest research and techniques to try to minimize damage awards in personal injury lawsuits
The Committee has also partnered with other committees to present interesting and varied seminars such as the Complex Medicine seminar which we co-chaired with the Medical Liability Committee.
There are many opportunities for members to speak and write through these programs and publications. We welcome anyone who would like to become actively involved in our Committee. We encourage members of diverse backgrounds to participate. We look forward to hearing from you soon and seeing you at our seminars, as well as at the Annual Meeting in October.

LCD screen runs at wrong frequency
i've been trying to install linux on my laptop for the first time and i am having a problem with the screen running at the wrong frequency.
I installed mandrake linux 10.1, & nvidia driver 1.0-7167. Since i have a widescreen display (1280x854) I put a modeline in the XF86Config file:
ModeLine "1280x854" 85.26 1280 1296 1552 1792 854 854 861 892
and i am pretty sure it's right. Problem is, when i choose "1280x854" from the list of resolutions, i get a refresh rate of 53Hz, not 60. As far as i understand all LCD panels run at 60Hz, and i don't want to damage my laptop by running the screen at the wrong frequency.
Any suggestions about how i can fix this or what can be wrong?
For the moment i've given up using linux as there is not much point if the screen can't run at native resolution..... All other resolutions are fixed at 60hz it's just the one i want that is at 53Hz.... Is this because of the driver??
Thanks in advance,
(i have a GForce 4 440 Go 64M graphics card).

Book Excerpt
The Big Miss
Continued (page 3 of 4)
Exclusive Podcast
Haney's The Big Miss
Golf Digest Senior Writer Jaime Diaz discusses Hank Haney's new book, The Big Miss: My Years Coaching Tiger Woods
And just like that, he did. He used the grip the next two rounds at Dallas, and though he shot 70-69 to finish in a tie for fourth, he never complained about it. It was the fastest Tiger ever accepted any change I ever proposed to him, and the astounding thing is that it was probably the biggest change we ever made. Even though it was a grip that cost him some distance because it slightly restricted his hand action, Tiger never complained about the sacrifice and continued to hold the club more in the palm the entire time I coached him. The whole weird way it happened remains improbable to me and is a good example of how Tiger was simply different. I can't imagine another player adjusting to a grip change so quickly.
Psychologically, Tiger was entering a difficult time in 2007. At the top of the bell curve of a career, expectation is greater than ever, but by definition decline overtakes improvement. Certainly Tiger wasn't going to concede reaching the top of the curve, but even he had to know he was very close, and it was going to take all he had to keep pushing against the forces of time. And it didn't help that the standard he'd established meant criticism -- of his swing, of his putting, of his attitude -- whenever he didn't win. No player in history had ever faced such high expectations. There were a few times when he was taking hits for not winning one of the first three majors of the year, and the weight of it all would show, and he'd say, "Nothing is ever good enough."
Related: Tiger's testy reaction to Haney's book
For me, the job got harder. There was more urgency and less fun. Tiger was more irritable and impatient. The process of improvement had been his emphasis when we first started our work, but he began to be much more concerned about results, or in his words, "getting the W." He never mentioned Nicklaus' record, but it started to weigh more heavily at every major. And Tiger's actions indicated he believed he had less time to do it than everyone else thought.
In retrospect, 2007 was when Tiger began to lose the joy of playing and began to look at his career as something he wanted to get over with sooner rather than later. And the most obvious sign was his growing obsession with the military.
His fixation really came out when he played a SEALs video game. Tiger would put on headphones, through which an animated commander would give him orders for the next mission to be carried out. The objective was to keep overcoming increasingly difficult tests. Tiger would get totally immersed, sitting on the edge of the couch, as intense and focused as if he were playing in a major championship.
It had gone far beyond video games, into the real world. That its roots were in his connection to his father, Earl, who'd achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Army Special Forces and served in Vietnam, had been clear for a few years. Right after the 2004 Masters, only a month after we'd begun working together, Tiger went to Fort Bragg, N.C., to do four days of Army special-operations training. With Earl in attendance, Tiger did two tandem parachute jumps, engaged in hand-to-hand combat exercises, went on four-mile runs wearing combat boots, and did drills in a wind tunnel. Tiger loved it, but his physical therapist, Keith Kleven, went a little crazy worrying about the further damage Tiger might be doing to his left knee.
Tiger's military activities began to take the form of two- or three-day sessions at naval and marine outposts involving exercises with Navy SEALs teams, and they would increase dramatically. Less than two weeks after Earl's funeral and three weeks before the 2006 U.S. Open at Winged Foot, Tiger had gone to installations near San Diego for a three-day session in parachuting. In my long email to Tiger after that tournament, here's what I said:
With the U.S. Open 18 days away, do you think it was a good idea to go on a Navy SEALs mission? You need to get that whole SEALs thing out of your system and stick to playing Navy SEAL on the video games. I can tell by the way you are talking and acting that you still want to become a Navy SEAL. Man, are you crazy? You have history to make in golf and people to influence and help. Focus on your destiny, and that isn't flushing bad guys out of buildings in Iraq. Just play the video games some more. That Navy SEAL stuff is serious business. They use real bullets.
I took a dismissive tone in that email because I really thought the military stuff was a phase that Tiger would soon realize was ridiculous. I was trying to shake him back to his senses regarding this G.I. Joe fantasy. But a year later, I realized I'd underestimated. When we were at his house and he was watching the Military Channel or the BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEALs) DVD, an exercise or training mission would catch his eye and he'd make a comment like, "That would be cool," or "I'd really like to do that." He was telling me that this SEAL thing was more than fun and games to him. One morning I was in the kitchen when he came back from a long run around Isleworth, and I noticed he was wearing Army boots. Tiger admitted that he'd worn the heavy shoes before on the same route. "I beat my best time," he said.
The military became central to his life, and in 2007 Tiger probably went on half a dozen SEALs trips. When the new season began, one of Tiger's first public acts was to visit a "special warfare" SEALs unit on the Tuesday of Torrey Pines. According to news reports, he told the assembled group at a facility in Coronado, outside San Diego, "If I hadn't been in golf, I would have been here with you guys. When I was younger, I always dreamed of being a Navy SEAL." The first PGA Tour event where he was named host -- the 2007 AT&T National -- took place outside Washington, D.C., over the July 4 weekend and allowed active military personnel into the gates free.
I was beginning to realize that his sentiment ran deep, and that as incredible as it seemed, Tiger was seriously considering becoming a Navy SEAL. I didn't know how he'd go about it, but when he talked about it, it was clear that he had a plan. After finding out that the Navy SEAL age limit is 28, I asked Tiger about his being too old to join. "It's not a problem," he said. "They're making a special age exception for me."

Motortrend gets its hand on the F10 M5 for an in depth evaluation and performance testing. They achieved an impressive 3.7sec 0-60mph and 11.9sec quarter mile (@ 120.3mph).
Along the way they call the F10 M5 probably the best M5 ever, from driver feedback to all-out performance. We see their complaint about the large gap between comfort and sport mode as a positive as it means that the new M5′s range and effectiveness while wearing its many hats is better than ever.
Check out the full … CONTINUED
CAR Magazine is next up with its M5 comparo in which the F10 M5 is matched against the E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR. The question asked is whether the new M5 can relclaim the title of best super saloon? See for yourself inside.
Autobild pits the new M5 (F10) against the main competitors in the medium-large sports sedan segment – the CTS-V, E36 AMG with Performance Pack, and the Jaguar XFR. See inside for the comparison and track results from and between these impressive cars.
The 2012 M5 deliveries keep rolling into M5POST as a lucky UK member has just brought his Azurite Black Individual F10 M5 home!
F10 M5 owners don't seem to be at a lack of words when it comes to describing the euphoria of experiencing the new M5 for the first time as an owner, so check out the review inside.
We now have our first Singapore Grey F10 M5 delivery! The car went to lucky M5POST member Aussie F10M. As with all our other new M5 owners so far, he's hardly able to contain his gushing, but that seems to be the trend with most everyone who experiences the 2012 BMW M5.
Aussie F10M has been kind enough to share his experience so far as well as some photos of his new baby, so please read on inside.
It seems that the 2012 M5 (F10) increasingly needs to look to full out sports cars in order to find the appropriate competition. Multiple outlets have already compared it against the Nissan GT-R and now Autoweek pits the F10 M5 against the Jaguary XKR-S in a showdown of two cars which possess both gentlemanlike and hooligan traits.
An alpine white F10 M5 has now been delivered to a site member – Singularity. Although the owner and car are now experiencing some wintry weather, we nonetheless get some nice insight and review of another new M5.
There's now been several deliveries in our M5 forums and more to come as we head towards the warmer weather of Spring and especially when US deliveries begin this Summer.

Well respected automotive reviewer Chris Harris drives the F10 M5 and the Nissan GT-R. He admits that the two are not really rival cars, but what's important is that the two are both great cars he enjoyed immensely (just look at his reaction), and in which he appreciated every mile and every minute.
Site member clar, owner of both a frozen grey F10 M5 and E92 M3, has now completed run-in / break in on his new M5 and is able to give a proper performance review and comparison of his M5 versus M3.
See this excellent review inside as clar covers power, steering, handling, and more of his two M cars.
European Car reviews the new BMW M5 F10, which they call BMW's twin turbo superhero. Their conclusion? The new M5 is every bit as tractable as the E60 M5 and its chassis and brakes are flat out superior. Unlike the E60 M5, the new M5 is more user friendly.
Congratulations to our member clar for taking delivery of the first frozen grey F10 M5! This isn't clar's first frozen gray M car though as the M5 will join his frozen grey M3! He gives us his full owner experience so far, together with some excellent photos of the beautiful frozen gray and sakhir orange interior combination.
German magazine Autozeitung has pitted the new BMW M5 (F10) against its bigger cousin. The F10 M5 is powered the S63Tu, an improved version of the BMW X6M's S63 engine. Given the S63Tu's enhancements over the S63 and the F10 M5′s lighter weight, the M5 winning in all categories and placing in 1st is certainly not surprising.
What is interesting however is to see more real world F10 M5 performance test results.
They were able to get the F10 M5 from 0-100km/h (62mph) in 4.2 seconds and from … CONTINUED
Ben Barry at CAR magazine was apparently on Santa's good-boys list as he's currently driving a F10 M5 long term tester.

Let's have a look.

You may bring in your own food and drink so long as it complies with the Stadium's Conditions of Entry. In summary this means that alcoholic beverages, cans and glass bottles cannot enter the venue and if stored in an esky, basket or bag it must be able to fit underneath a standard venue seat in order to avoid obstruction of aisles and walkways.

Different Yet Similar
Despite the differences in religious affiliations, we all worship together, and we see each other as belonging to the same Father.
Citizens of the Kingdom of God
Our commission is to make disciples of all nations, acting as Jesus' hands and feet during our time on earth, seeing children, families, and communities released from spiritual and physical poverty in His name.
It's Better to Be Inside the Ark
Despite all the difficulties, conflicts, and unbearable situations, it is better to be inside the Church than outside the Church. It is better to be under God's covering than outside of it.
They Know
We emphasize God's Word in the curriculum at the student centers. The tutors who impart the Word to the children are a blessing to the program and the beneficiaries.
Is the Word in You?
Where have you kept the "Word"? Having the Bible in your bag, under your pillow, or on your desk is not enough. The only way to walk blameless before God is by reading and meditating on it, allowing the Word to prune you, shape you, and enable you to become a candidate for heaven.
Don't Forget What You Look Like
We've heard so many sermons and we've been exposed to the Word of God for many years, but many of us still find that we are not growing as we should be. This happens because we don't take any action and usually end up forgetting what He's told us.
Being and Not Knowing
As the scripture says, it is a message to obey, not just listen to. The message we received, the Word of God, was created to be obeyed, not merely listened to, just like phones were created to be tools for communication between people, not as decorative items just to look at.
Let the Wise Listen
We sometimes fail to listen to advice because we are looking for the "right" person, someone of equal standing. We need to listen regardless of the speaker. Pride can hinder our ability to listen; humility has a way of enabling us to listen.
United We Build
The men of Babel were very responsive to the call from their leaders. Many might have taken offense with each other, but instead they ignored it, accepted each other, and continued building together.
God's Expectations
God will use us, in the midst of such inauspicious circumstances, to help others know Christ.
He Will Teach, Instruct, and Guide
In every journey we should continually commit to God the steps on the way to where we are going. For in Him, we move and have our being to bear good fruit, fruit that lasts. Without Him, we can do nothing.
Gaining Understanding
In difficult situations, our deepest desire is to have understanding and hope for the outcome. All we want to know is what's going on and how we can fix it.
The Touch of a Sparrow
This small bird was being used to deliver a reminder to two anxious men, that "not even one of these sparrows is forgotten by God," and, oh, of how much more value we are to our Heavenly Father!
Let's Praise Him
God takes pleasure from those who praise Him in a quiet atmosphere and those who praise with lots of sounds and bodily expressions.
Satisfy the Lord
Doing our duty for the day alone does not suffice; we have to spend time satisfying the Lord by ministering to Him through worship and prayer until our heart is content, after which we can begin to rest.
Time to Celebrate and Remember
The blessing of rain the people received gave them physical security and food but didn't give them spiritual or emotional health. Jesus' provision in the life of a human being is so that we can be completely satiated and allows us be a source of abundant life.
The River of God
A river is a source of power. It provides irrigation. It flows. Sometimes, it overflows. It can be destructive. It's a mode of transportation. It's a place where we can become clean, and a place of refreshment and relaxation. The river of God is full of water.
Angels Unaware
He came and sat across from where the drunken man was lying, on the berth right in front of her. He mumbled something about taking care of her, and he just sat there and watched the drunken man until her stop came.
What Miracles Are Made Of
Difficulty is the very atmosphere of miracles. Actually, difficulty is a miracle in its first stage. If it's to be a great miracle, the condition is not just difficulty, it's impossibility.
God Thinks About You
God has a purpose for each one of us, and His intention is to bless us and shape the character of Christ in us. For those who walk under His will, everything that happens in life has a divine purpose.
I See God in That Bag of Ice
At that very moment, it was as if God said, "You are not alone. I am with you." A supernatural peace came over them. That bag of ice was a symbol that God was not surprised by this accident and that He would care for us throughout the ordeal that followed.

How to Eat Properly
Three Parts:Making Healthy Food ChoicesEating the Right AmountBuilding Healthy Ideas About Food
You always hear people talking about eating properly and eating better, but how exactly do you do that? If you want to improve your health and get your body feeling good and strong, follow the advice below to start eating properly!
Part 1 of 3: Making Healthy Food Choices
1Eat a balanced diet. Include a healthy balance of nutrient-rich carbohydrates, protein, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. This will help make sure your body gets the right balance of the vital vitamins and minerals it needs in order to keep you strong and healthy. Try to eat a diet of 30% vegetables, 20% fruit, 20% carbohydrates (starches like wheat, rice, and corn), 20% protein (which is found in meat, beans, and legumes), and 10% dairy products.[1]Ad
2Don't skip meals. Definitely eat breakfast, as this starts your metabolism going early in the morning (since it slows down at night because you haven't eaten anything for awhile). You will also want to make sure to eat at regular intervals, to help make sure your body has the fuel it needs to run all day.
3Don't waste calories on drinks. It is a good idea to drink only water or calorie-free drinks such as tea or black coffee whenever possible. Sugary drinks and juices may have hundreds of calories, and they don't make you feel any fuller. In essence, drinking them does nothing for you except quench your thirst and add calories to your count for the day.
- Drinks like fresh-squeezed juice are fine, however.
- If you want to still drink fruit juices but want to lessen the amount of sugar you are getting, water the juice down by at least 30%. You can increase this over time as you become accustomed to the taste.
4Eat fewer unhealthy fats and empty calories. Generally reduce the amount of unhealthy saturated and trans fats in your diet. These are found in foods like chips, margarine, and many boxed or frozen foods. You'll also want to cut out foods with empty calories, or ones which give you calories without giving you a proportional amount of nutrients (think white bread, chips, and candy). Both can lead you to gain weight or minimize the amount of healthy food you do eat.
5Eat more nutrient rich foods. Try to focus on eating foods which deliver lots of vital nutrients to your body. These are foods rich in vitamins and minerals. You can try citrus fruits, dark greens like kale and spinach, grains like brown rice and quinoa, lean proteins like lentils and chicken, and calcium rich dairy products like low-fat cottage cheese.Ad
Part 2 of 3: Eating the Right Amount
1Eat only when you're hungry. Many people seem to think that people get hungry at about 9 AM, 12 noon, and again at 6 PM. While this may be a generally good schedule for eating, remember that you don't have to eat at mealtime if you're not hungry yet. Also, if you are hungry between meals, go ahead and have a healthy snack. It's not good to starve yourself between meals: if you allow yourself to become too hungry, you'll just overeat when the meal comes.
- Know what hungry feels like. Don't eat just because you're bored! Know that being hungry is a feeling of needing food, any food, in the pit of your stomach.
- Eat Slowly and stop eating when you're satisfied, not when you're full. After you're done eating, your stomach should not feel empty, but also not completely full. If you feel stuffed, you ate too much food. Acquire the habit of eating slowly so you can stop when you are satisfied, not full; the brain needs about 20 minutes to get the "Not hungry anymore" signal.
2Eat better portion sizes. Remember that your stomach is about the size of your fist. Don't expect to stuff 10 times that amount of food into it without negative consequences. Something many people don't realize is that your stomach will stretch when you're used to eating a lot. If you only eat small amounts of food at a time, your stomach won't stretch out so much. With a smaller stomach, it won't take as much to make you feel full.
- Calorie counting may make portion control easier. The average adult needs 2000 calories a day.
- Don't worry about how many calories you're eating in a particular meal. The calories only matter over the course of the entire day. You can break up your calories into many smaller meals, two large ones, or anything in between. It's up to you. Breaking up your meals may be better for your metabolism, however.
3Watch your caloric intake. Calories are our body's fuel. If you eat too many, your body will save up some of the extra (for a rainy day) and this is what makes us gain too much weight. Try counting your daily calories to make sure you aren't exceeding the limit necessary to maintain your weight. If you're eating way too many, or you want to lose weight, try cutting down your daily caloric intake to a reasonable amount and pair this with exercise.
4Drink lots of water every day. This is very important. You may think you are hungry when, in fact, you are really just thirsty. It also makes your liver and kidney a lot happier. Try adding a slice of lemon, lime, or orange to your water for a great taste; cucumber slices for an even crispier taste!
- Eight 8oz glasses of water are recommended for most adults, though some people need more and some people need less.
Part 3 of 3: Building Healthy Ideas About Food
1Don't get suckered in to fat diets. Sufficient protein and a variety of fats (including Omega 3 fat, commonly found in fish oil) are essential to the body functioning correctly, and many healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables are inherently high in carbohydrates. Don't fall for fat diets that involve restricting any one macro nutrient.
2Give yourself smart treats. You can treat yourself to tasty food without having to eat cake or cookies. There are plenty of healthy alternatives that are just as good. Try freezing low-fat Greek yogurt for an alternative to ice cream. Strawberries are a good alternative to candies. A peanut butter and banana sandwich is a good replacement for a s'more.
3Save your sweet-eating opportunities. You know that you're going to eat some sweets at some point: your neighbor's birthday cake, Christmas dessert at your grandma's house, the chocolate your boyfriend got you, or the cookies that your kid made you. And, of course, everyone wants to indulge and splurge every once in a while. The key is to allow yourself sweets at only these special times. It's a mistake to eat sweets regularly so that when you do reach these must-eat sweet times you've over-indulged.
4Don't fantasize about food. Do you ever watch TV makes and notice you want to eat more? It's because of all those mouth-watering commercials with close ups of perfectly prepared food. Don't watch these, as it does nothing but make you think about food. Also, don't fantasize on your own time about just how great devouring an entire ice-cream cone would be. Just push it out of your mind and think of something else. This will help you crave those things less.
5Don't eat a huge meal when you go out. It's very reasonable to want to eat a delicious meal at a restaurant, especially if you aren't a very good cook. But understand that restaurant meals are often way too big. You shouldn't eat that much food in one sitting! Instead, eat only half the meal and save the rest for lunch the next day. You can also order an appetizer, rather than a full meal if you know those portions may be better.Ad
We could really use your help!
- Sometimes stomach noises don't indicate hunger, only the digestion process, which creates noises and gurgles in your stomach. Usually, hunger pangs are louder and have a slower repetition, like "Pang"...then a few seconds or minutes later... "Pang", that pattern instead. If you skip breakfast or working out etc is the most time you get this feeling.
- Remember that there is a difference between being hungry and having an appetite. Sometimes you can crave food just because you want the taste but you don't really feel hungry (that is, your stomach isn't grumbling, and you don't feel pangs of hunger in your gut).
- Eat SLOWLY! Savor every bite! You will feel satisfied with less calories but not deprived since you are really enjoying. Your brain will "register" that nice experience and you will want to repeat it (You could acquire the habit of eating slowly in as little as 21 days of this nice experiences).
- Fruits, vegetables, and nuts are nutritious and tasty things to eat. It's best to eat some portions of them everyday to maintain hunger control.
- A trick to help thwart (or postpone) a craving: when craving food (esp. junk food) shortly before a scheduled meal, use toothpaste to brush your tongue (brushing teeth too much can be bad for gums). This triggers an automatic aversion to eating anything for a short while because few flavors go well with toothpaste. This simple act can stop the craving for junk food in its tracks, or at the very least, hold it off long enough for you to prepare/arrive at a much healthier meal. Good breath is, of course, an added bonus.
- Do not compare yourself to models and actors on TV. Most people will never appear as perfect as them (unless you can afford a personal trainer and nutritionist to work with you for hours every day!). Instead concentrate on a healthy lifestyle suited for you.
- Sometimes when you are hungry, you only actually need fluids. So satisfy your thirst by drinking water or fresh fruit juice, and your hunger will go away. Forget about eating while you drink a refreshing glass of water. It's really hard to drink too much water.
- Ask yourself, 'Am I really hungry, or am I bored?'
- Put an extra plate on the dinner table and put some of your meal on it for lunch tomorrow. After reading this article, you may see that your meal portion is too large. Normally you just work through it, but this time you'll offload enough for a second meal, and possibly avoid feeling bloated.
- Also, the first sign of feeling content with the amount of food you have eaten, is feeling thirsty.
- Stick with it. This isn't something you will only do for a little while. It is a complete lifestyle that you must re-adjust yourself to until it becomes second nature.
- Trying eating with chopsticks when possible to slow your eating down. Though this may take some time to get used to!
- To help with eating slowly, make it a habit to put down your utensils every time you take a bite. Don't pick them up again until you've chewed and swallowed.
- Research more diet resources on the web, at your local library, or talk to your doctor.
- Although an Ayurvedic practitioner will tell you that brushing or scraping the tongue will stimulate the digestive system, speeding up the body's reaction to hunger, if you want to use this method of postponing a craving or food desire, maybe try mouthwash instead.
- Drink one glass of water before eating, this is an illusion which makes the stomach seem filled up, even when it is not.
- Try using chopsticks. It slows you down, giving your feeling of "full" a chance to catch up.
- Read the label of any flavored water that you choose, as many of them have as many calories, some even more than soda.
- Remember first and foremost that your lifestyle, including eating and exercising, is meant to take care of your body, not harm it.
- Do not make food the focus of your life, including being obsessive about what you eat and how you eat. This behavior will put you at risk for an eating disorder.
- Don't talk with your mouth full! Nobody looks good with chewed up food in their mouth.

About the Industry
Atmospheric Emissions
Source of emissions
The extraction, stabilisation and export of hydrocarbons involve several processes that give rise to atmospheric emissions. These include combustion to provide electrical power and to drive compressors and pumps; flaring of excess gas for safety and during well testing; venting during tank loading and incidental releases from fire fighting and refrigeration plant.
Combustion and flaring result in emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH4) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and sulphur (SOx). Small amounts of nitrous oxide (N2O) are also released. Venting releases Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and methane, whilst firefighting and refrigeration releases Halon and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
Potential environmental impacts
Atmospheric emissions from offshore operations are implicated in several potential impacts:
- Anthropogenic global warming - which is attributable to greenhouse gas emissions notably CO2 and CH4
- Stratospheric ozone depletion – caused by halon and CFCs which are known collectively as Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS)
- Ground level ozone formation – caused by reactions between VOCs and NOx
- Acidification – caused by emissions of acid gases such as NOx and SOx
Emissions from combustion and flaring are most significant because of their global impact. Although ODS have the potential for global impact they are used in relatively small amounts offshore. The potential for ozone formation and acidification is minimised by the geographic location of most offshore installations.
Key control and mitigation measures
Atmospheric emissions offshore are tightly controlled by international, European and national regulations.
The International Maritime Organisation regulates emissions of ODS, NOx, SOx and VOCS from ships through MARPOL 73/78 Annexe VI. MARPOL defines offshore installations and drilling rigs as ships and the Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships) Regulations 2008 implement the requirements in the UK.
The European Union Greenhouse Gas Emission Trading Scheme, Directive 2003/87/EC (EU ETS) is implemented in the UK by The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme 2005 (the 2005 Regulations) as amended which apply the scheme to offshore installations having combustion facilities with a combined rated thermal input of above 20 MW (th).
EC Directive 96/61 on Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control which is implemented in the UK through the Offshore Combustion Installations (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Regulations 2001 (amended in 2007). No offshore combustion installation can be operated except in accordance with a permit issued under the PPC Regulations.
EU Regulation EC 1005/2009 on Ozone Depleting Substances will be implemented by the Environmental Protection (Controls on Ozone Depleting Substances) Regulations 2010.
Gas venting and flaring are both subject to consent under the Petroleum Act 1998 which has the objective to conserve gas, a finite energy resource, by avoiding unnecessary wastage during the production of hydrocarbons. Consent to Vent is required under the Energy Act 1976. Consents to vent includes venting of gases from onboard crude oil storage tanks e.g. for FPSOs during crude oil filling operations.
EEMS, the upstream oil and gas industry environmental database, provides the vehicle for offshore oil and gas industry emissions to be incorporated into annual UK inventories of atmospheric emissions that are required under a number of international conventions and EU instruments. In addition to atmospheric reporting through EEMS there are other statutory reporting requirements under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme.

By Staff Sgt. Rebecca Doucette, USA Special to American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17, 2008 Utah Army National Guard Sgt. Jill Stevens' "personal combat zone" has shifted from Afghanistan to Nevada, from a minefield to a beauty contest, from combat boots to high heels.
The 24-year-old Stevens also is Miss Utah, and she is a contestant in the Miss America Pageant in Las Vegas, which will be televised Jan. 26 on The Learning Channel.
Stevens, a combat medic with the Utah Guard, has a resume that isn't what you would typically expect from a soldier, or a pageant contestant, for that matter: graduate, summa cum laude, Southern Utah University; soldier, Army National Guard; veteran, Operation Enduring Freedom, Afghanistan; contestant, 2008 Miss America Live.
If she wins the crown, Stevens will be the first Miss America to have served in a combat zone, a pageant spokesperson said. She would become the 80th Miss America overall for the pageant, which began in 1921, according to the Miss America Web site. (There were eight years when a new Miss America was not named).
In her duties as Miss Utah, Stevens has traveled from Florida to California, from the destruction of Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana to the streets of Washington, D.C. She has spoken to generals from 40 countries.
Back in Utah, she talks about her military experiences with students from preschool through college and challenges them to push-up contests.
"We have our personal combat zone," Stevens tells students. "I served in one in Afghanistan. We all have them in life, whether it be with school, family, peer pressure or finding a career. It's our own minefield and we have to learn to dodge the mines by keeping focus on the target, not doubting ourselves, and believing what our potential is and what we can do."
Like other citizen-soldiers and -airmen, Stevens stays busy and balances life out of uniform with life in uniform. She recently said she hopes the pageant audience and judges see beyond her military uniform to the full complexity of her life.
"I don't want to showcase this in a, 'Oh, look at me, I'm a soldier, I serve my country, you should pick me' kind of way," she said. "I want them to think. I want them to look at Jill Stevens and see the whole picture of everything that I do, and being a soldier is a huge part of that, but there's a lot more."
Nevertheless, her pageant platform mirrors the Guard's domestic playbook: "Ready when disaster strikes – emergency preparedness for everyone."
"That comes from my soldier side of being ready for anything," Stevens said. "As a medic, we have to be ready for any injury that we face on missions."
And Stevens draws on her Guard experiences – from Basic Combat Training to a combat zone – in her talks with students.
"I talk about going through the gas chamber, and I relate that to doubt in our lives," she said. "I talk about shooting at a range, relating that to goals – how we need to keep focused on the target. I talk about running through a minefield in life."
The final stop on her run for the title of Miss America is a four-day competition in Las Vegas, culminating with the crowning of the winner on national TV.
Conspicuously absent from the competition will be Stevens' military uniform. But with the help of the American Legion, at least 50 of her fellow soldiers will attend the final night of the pageant at Planet Hollywood on Jan 26.
That arrangement started when a former Miss America, Sharlene Wells, called the Miss America Organization to say that a group of Utah National Guard soldiers wanted to come to the pageant and show their support, but had no budget to buy tickets.
The organization in turn called the American Legion, which offered to sponsor the soldiers and pay for their tickets to attend.
"The motto for the American Legion is 'for God and Country,' and that's exactly what Stevens is doing," said Joe March, the Legion's public relations director. "She stands as a great example of a proud American who is dedicated not only to her country, but to her community and her comrades."
As she goes into the competition, Stevens said "My target is Miss America. The military has taught me if I practice, work hard at it and keep focus on the target, I'll be ready."
(Editor's note: Staff Sgt. Jim Greenhill contributed to this report. Greenhill and Staff Sgt. Rebecca Doucette work for the National Guard Bureau.)


text: I had soooooo much blood taken three weeks ago and I will be going over the results with my doc tomorrow. She called today and said we will go over everything else tomorrow but that I have a vitamin D deficiency and I needed to start taking vitamin d with calcium and then an additional 1000mg of vitamin d by itself. Does anyone else have a vitamin d deficiency????? Daily I take the recommended amount for an adult. I live in the desert where it is always sunny and I spend lots of time out in the sun. I just stopped eating dairy a few weeks ago...after the blood was taken. I am sure it is very normal but I just wondered if anyone else may have some answers for me......thank you :D

Step 1: Build your based for piping in compressed air
As I said, I used items around the house - so I had a water hose splicer,
Step 2: Connect Pieces to build base.
Step 3: Build your pneumatic cylinder.
This was the really easy part for me. I just needed to know how much I wanted my prop to be lifted up and cut a piece of 3/4 inch pipe just about that length. This will house your piston and eventually connected to the base I build earlier.
I'd use a rigged box to trigger the pop up. A push rod attached to the lid triggers the air gun. What you put in the box is up to you.
The other idea is use a pull cord with a "Pull for treat" sign on it. Once again triggers the airgun and pop up.
Lastly for the pop up I'd mount the piston horizontally and on the end I'd place a fake hand. For a Quick and easy hand simply get a pair of rubber kitchen gloves. (Green ones are best...looks alien when done) Cut one of the gloves into tiny triangle shapes. Then using rubber cement, glue the shapes to the second glove for "scales". Inflate the modded glove and attach. Camoflage behind a curtain.
Nicely done.
