What causes finger clubbing?
The exact cause of finger clubbing is not known, but it is a common symptom of respiratory disease, congenital heart disease, and gastrointestinal disorders.
Respiratory disease causes of finger clubbing
Finger clubbing may be caused by respiratory diseases including:
- Bronchiectasis (destruction and widening of the large airways)
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including emphysema and chronic bronchitis
- Cystic fibrosis (thick mucus in the lungs and respiratory tract)
- Lung abscess
- Lung cancer
- Pulmonary fibrosis (scarring of the lungs)
Congenital cardiac disease causes of finger clubbing
Finger clubbing can also be caused by congenital cardiac diseases including:
- Tetralogy of Fallot (combination of four structural defects)
- Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR; rare condition in which the pulmonary veins do not empty into the heart)
- Transposition of the great vessels (rare condition in which the major vessels entering or leaving the heart are misconnected
Gastrointestinal disease causes of finger clubbing
Finger clubbing can also be caused by gastrointestinal diseases including:
- Celiac disease (severe sensitivity to gluten from wheat and other grains that causes intestinal damage)
- Cirrhosis of the liver
- Inflammatory bowel disease (includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis)
- Liver cancer
Other causes of finger clubbing
Finger clubbing can also have other causes including:
- Acromegaly (gigantism caused by a pituitary tumor)
- Atrial myxoma (tumor arising within heart)
- Dysentery (infectious inflammation of the colon, causing severe diarrhea)
- Endocarditis (inflammation of heart tissue, often infectious)
- Graves' disease (type of hyperthyroidism resulting in excessive thyroid hormone production)
- Hodgkin's lymphoma (cancer of the lymph tissues)
- Pregnancy
Questions for diagnosing the cause of finger clubbing
To diagnose your condition, your doctor or licensed health care practitioner will ask you several questions related to your finger clubbing including:
- Do you have any other symptoms?
- Do you have difficulty breathing?
- What medications are you taking?
- When did you first notice finger clubbing?
What are the potential complications of finger clubbing?
Because finger clubbing can be due to serious diseases that cause cyanosis, failure to seek treatment can result in serious complications and permanent damage. Once the underlying cause is diagnosed, it is important for you to follow the treatment plan that you and your health care professional design specifically for you to reduce the risk of potential complications including:
- Heart failure
- Long-term physical disability
- Organ failure or dysfunction
- Respiratory failure
- Spread of cancer
- Spread of infection

Abstract: Aging populations across advanced industrialized countries are expected to have a great impact on a range of socio-economic policies, ranging from welfare and pensions provision to industrial, labor market and financial policies. While populations are aging there has also been a drop in birth rates. Demographic change is acknowledged as a policy concern within many advanced industrialized countries, but discussions about low fertility are not explicitly expressed in terms of policy objectives. Governments, sensitive to the authoritarian implications of prescriptive natalist policies, focus instead on programs that aim to enable choice about childbearing; in concrete terms this means measures such as one-off payments, improving childcare availability, and addressing worklife balance concerns.1 As an issue, low fertility is seen as a particular problem for a number of European and East Asian advanced industrialized countries. Germany and Japan stand out in having experienced especially low fertility over a sustained period of time, while countries with an established and generous welfare state or long traditions of migration appear to buck these trends among members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Abstract: The digital world of the 21st century is increasingly the world of automatic decision making. In such a world, an ever larger number of tasks are relegated to computers which gather and process data as well as suggest or make decisions silently and with little supervision. This situation has been made possible by a transfer of a staggering portion of our daily lives from the offline world to the Internet. It is a truism that automation would be impossible without our willing participation on the Internet. We freely take part in social networks, post on blogs, and send our emails. On the other hand, it is equally true that we are increasingly monitored by the state, by profit‐maximizing corporations and by our fellow citizens and that these methods of monitoring are becoming smarter. Vast amounts of data which have become available and which we contribute, form what we today call "big data".1 This is then harvested for connections and correlations and profiles created that can be used for commercial and other purposes. We fear this world but are also dependant on it. The creation of these profiles and their usage is an uncharted territory for the social sciences as much as it is a strange territory for the regulators. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8914

How firms organize the production of user modifications in the computer games industryJeppesen, Lars Bo (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Modding – the modification of existing products by consumers – is increasingly exploited by manufacturers to enhance product development and sales. In the computer games industry modding has evolved into a development model in which users act as unpaid "complementors" to manufacturers' product platforms. This article explains how manufacturers can profit from their abilities to organize and facilitate a process of innovation by user communities and capture the value of the innovations produced in such communities. When managed strategically, two distinct, but not mutually exclusive business models appear from the production of user complements: firstly, a manufacturer can let the (free) user complements "drift" in the user communities, where they increase the value to consumers of owning the given platform and thus can be expected to generate increased platform sales, and secondly, a manufacturer can incorporate and commercialize the best complements found in the user communities. Keywords: innovation, modding, user communities, software platform, business model. JEL code(s): L21; L23; O31; O32 URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7227

Abstract: This WP presents the empirical foundations for the development of the CasMaCat workbench. A series of experiments are being run to establish basic facts about translator behaviour in computer-aided translation, focusing on the use of visualization options and input modalities while post-editing machine translation (sections 1 and 2). Another series of studies deals with cognitive modelling and individual di erences in translation production, in particular translator types and translation/post-editing styles (sections 3 and 4). This deliverable, D1.2, is a progress report on user interface studies, cognitive and user modelling. It reports on post-editing and interactive translation experiments, as well as cognitive modelling covering Tasks 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.5. It also addresses the issues that were raised in the last review report for the project period M1 to M12, in particular: the basic facts about the translator behaviour in CAT (sections 1 and 4) highlighting usage of visualization and input modalities (see also D5.3). the individual di erences in translator types and translation styles, (section 3, see also terminology, section A.1) the results and conclusions of preliminary studies conducted to investigate post-editing and translation styles (section 2 and 5) From the experiments and analyses so far, it is clear that the data collected in the CRITT TPR-DB (Translation Process Research database) is an essential resource to achieve the Cas- MaCat project goals. It allows for large-scale in depth studies of human translation processes and thus serves as a basis of information to empirically grounded future development of the CasMaCat workbench. It attracts an international research community to investigate human translation processes under various conditions and to arrive at a more advanced level of understanding. Additional language pairs and more data increase the chances to better underpin the conclusions needed, as will be shown in this report, and as concluded in section 5.

Abstract: For at styrke kompetenceniveauet i de maritime erhverv i Danmark er 10 partnere, bestående af relevante uddannelsesinstitutioner og maritime interesseorganisationer, gået sammen om projektet 'Danmarks Maritime Klynge' (DKMK). Med et særligt fokus på kompetenceudvikling inden for den maritime sektor udvikles og oprettes der i projektet flere maritime uddannelsesforløb i form af fag og kurser på bachelor- og kandidatniveau, der arbejdes på at skabe nemmere afkørsler til kandidatuddannelser for professionsbachelorer, og der udarbejdes relevante maritime efteruddannelsestilbud. Som en indledende del af projektet har projektets partnere via en række analyseaktiviteter set nærmere på, hvilke udfordringer, muligheder og behov de maritime erhverv i Danmark står over for i relation til uddannelse, kompetence og arbejdskraft. Ligeledes er der i inspirationsøjemed blevet set på, hvordan andre førende maritime nationer har valgt at støtte op om udviklingen af deres maritime klynger. Analyserne er foretaget på et overordnet niveau og mere uddannelsesspecifikke analyser vil blive foretaget af de enkelte partnere i den resterende projektperiode.

Managing and Researching Inclusive SchoolsRatner, Helene (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This thesis examines "reflexivity" as the key theme for understanding how Danish school managers work with the currently influential political vision of including students with special needs in the common school (educating children aged 5-16). Despite repeated attempts to realize the vision of inclusion, the number of students referred to special pedagogical services, and thus segregated from the common school, has continued to grow, especially since 1995. There is a widespread consent that this development is due to the schools' practices and socially constructed categories of "special needs" and "normalcy." Pedagogical scholars and recent policy initiatives posit that schools can achieve the much-wanted cultural change towards inclusion if teachers reflect (more) on their mindsets and practices. When advocating inclusion, scholars often refer to school managers as "leaders of meaning construction," thus emphasizing their importance in facilitating cultural change. Existing knowledge practices are depicted as too "durable" with the unintended side-effects of segregation and budget overruns, and school managers are, following, encouraged making teachers change their practices through (self-) reflexivity.

Abstract: We study the properties of foreign exchange risk premiums that can explain the forward bias puzzle, de¯ned as the tendency of high-interest rate currencies to ap- preciate rather than depreciate. These risk premiums arise endogenously from the no-arbitrage condition relating the term structure of interest rates and exchange rates. Estimating a±ne (multi-currency) term structure models reveals a noticeable tradeo® between matching depreciation rates and accuracy in pricing bonds. Risk premiums implied by our global a±ne model generate unbiased predictions for cur- rency excess returns and are closely related to global risk aversion, the business cycle, and traditional exchange rate fundamentals.

Investigating formal and informal CSR practices and the views of managers and workers in SME garment companies in South AfricaJeppesen, Søren; Kothuis, Bas (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The article seeks to contribute to the SMEs and CSR literature in developing countries by providing; a) a 'Southern' SME perspective, which includes the voices of managers and workers, b) a perspective of CSR, which opens up to informal CSR practices that SMEs undertake, and c) an analysis of the key institutional issues affecting the CSR practices of SMEs. It presents perceptions of CSR practices among 21 SMEs in the garment industry in South Africa, based on 40 interviews with managers and 19 interviews with workers through the use of qualitative and quantitative interview frameworks. It highlights a high degree of similarities between managers and workers, though knowledge of (cognitive level) the concept 'CSR' differ considerably. Informal practices are widespread and of key importance to the SMEs, expressed by managers and workers alike. History, industry and manager-workers relations are found to be important factors in explaining the CSR perceptions and level of practices. It is suggested that future research investigate the role of informal practices further and explore the role of institutional theory. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9083

Theory and ExamplesClemmensen, Torkil (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this chapter, I will review current approaches to online sociability and present and exemplify a psychological theory, the Social Reality theory, of online sociability. By analyzing sociability in a virtual world based university course, I will present and analyze examples on how to understand the students' design of the conditions for sociability as communication about cultural symbols, such as avatars and virtual landscapes, and the social reality of perceived groups of people. The analysis results will be used to illustrate different kinds of online sociability: superficial, convivial, and negative sociability. The chapter suggests solutions and recommendations to designers and researchers with a focus on online communities and networked communication. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6440

Abstract: We consider a model of commercial television market, where private broadcasters coexist with a public television broadcaster. Assuming that the public TV station follows a policy of Ramsey pricing whereas the private stations are profit maximizers, we consider the equilibria in this market and compare with a situation where the public station is privatized and acts as another private TV broadcaster. A closer scrutiny of the market for commercial television leads to a distinction between target rating points, which are the prime unit of account in TV advertising, and net coverage, which is the final goal of advertisers. Working with net coverage as the fundamental concept, we exploit the models of competition between public and private price and quantity in order to show that privatization of the public TV station entails a welfare loss and results in TV advertising becoming more expensive.

The continuation of my experiment in making at least one recipe per week involving 5 ingredients or less continues with the creation of the 2 ingredient ice cream bread. This recipe was so intriguing to me I almost couldn't wait to make it.
The biggest decision to make was, what kind of ice cream to use. At first, I thought about going with vanilla… just to get a feel for the recipe and to see if the recipe worked. As I scoured the ice cream isle in the market for what seemed like an eternity… I ended up going with Häagen-Dazs® Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream.
2 cups Ice cream (full fat, premium)
1.5 cups of self-rising flour
Preheat oven to 350 and spray/grease loaf pan. Stir flour into soft/melted ice cream until blended well, then add to baking pan. Bake 42-48 minutes. Cool for a few minutes and convert to wire rack. Serve
I wanted, more than anything to come out saying that this recipe was a complete success. That is was absolutely delicious and that everyone out there should try it… The truth is, it wasn't bad… but it wasn't delicious. I think the recipe has potential… but I wouldn't make it again "as is". As you can see I did add a handful of chocolate chips – because I had them. If is wasn't for those few morsels of joy… not sure I would have eaten my entire slice. I also think it might be more delicious if frosted… but I want it to be delicious straight from the oven.
I plan to work on this recipe. Perhaps use a different ice cream, less flour and add another ingredient. Once I come up with a final product that I feel is worthy… I will share it with you.
If you have tried this recipe… or plan to… please reply and let me know what you think/thought of it!

PAUL GIGOT: One thing is sure, the first debate was serious and substantive, and voters could get a very clear idea of the differences between the two candidates. Most of it centered on the war in Iraq.
KERRY: Iraq was not even close to the center of the war on terror before the president invaded it. And he rushed the war in Iraq without a plan to win the peace. You don't take America to war unless you have a plan to win the peace. This president just -- I don't know if he sees what's really happening out there. But it's getting worse by the day.
BUSH: My opponent says help is on the way, but what kind of message does it say to our troops in harm's way, "wrong war, wrong place, wrong time?" That's not a message a commander-in-chief gives, or that this is a great diversion. As well, help is on the way, but it's certainly hard to tell it when he voted against the 87 billion dollar supplemental to provide equipment for our troops, and then said he actually did vote for it before he voted against it.
KERRY: Well, you know, when I talked about the 87 billion, I made a mistake in how I talk about the war. But the President made a mistake in invading Iraq. Which is worse?"
PAUL GIGOT: Dan, I thought we really did get a very clear distinction between the two candidates on the Iraq war. John Kerry hit again and again that this was a mistake, a colossal mistake. Do you think he was convincing and persuading people that it was a mistake and that he has a plan for victory?
DAN HENNINGER: I don't think he necessarily convinced anyone that it was a mistake. And he doesn't have a plan for victory. What he has is a plan to get out, to leave. He clearly thinks it was a mistake. He has no intention of staying in Iraq. They're not going to cut and run, but he's going to unwind our involvement there. Whereas, the President is clearly committed not only to Iraq and the Middle East and transforming the systems of government there. That is a very clear distinction, a real choice.
PAUL GIGOT: What are the hints there, that he is going to pull out, Susan? Is that right? Do you agree with Dan's argument? He is saying, look, we'll start to pull out with six months if we get enough allies. He is sending some signals that he thinks this is a diversion.
SUSAN LEE: Well, he is, because he has to distinguish himself from Bush because this is a presidential campaign. But I think that if you listened to everything he was saying on Thursday night, he was saying that he was going to be prudent and cautious about pulling out troops, and he did say, answering, I might say, your editorial, he said several times he was in it to win.
Now what made me nervous is, he still hasn't developed the second leg of his argument against Bush and the war in Iraq. And he was very close. He's got to be able to answer. When Bush says, "The world is safer because of Saddam Hussein being in jail," Kerry has got to be able to say, "But would it have been safer if we had Osama bin Laden in jail?"
PAUL GIGOT: He did also bring up the word Fallujah, which I was surprised at. Of course, that is the thing that we've criticized the president for, not pursuing the terrorists in that sanctuary, which has really created some staging areas for the terrorists to strike our troops. But he didn't pursue that, and then say, "Here's what I'm going to do, and I'm absolutely going to clear those out." He just brought it up as if he felt obliged to, but then he didn't pursue it. Were you persuaded, Dorothy?
DOROTHY RABINOWITZ: I was not. But I laughed when you said, but he didn't pursue it with specifics, because this is what we're all waiting for, a specific from him, like Eisenhower's "I will go to Korea." Maybe, he didn't say what he would do in Korea. But something. But to say merely, "I have a plan."
PAUL GIGOT: Dan, we've supported the war in Iraq for a long time, going back before this president was in office. Did the president make the best case for that effort that you've heard?
DAN HENNINGER: No, absolutely not. I think he's really got to step it up in these debates, anyway. I thought his answer on Iraq was really quite disorganized, as it was on proliferation. But this is the President. He's been sitting in the Oval Office every day dealing with Iraq, and he didn't talk about the victory in Najaf over the Sadr militia, nor did he talk about the reconstruction that has been going on by the soldiers, rebuilding the school systems over there. And the fact that the north and the south, by and large, are stabilized. He could have gone through a list of achievements over there. Instead, he dropped it.
PAUL GIGOT: Bush is strongest at the vision level, whereas Kerry is stronger at the detail level, it seems to me. And on an issue as complicated as Iraq, you really have to be able to make the case for both.
All right, let's go to another piece of tape here. One of the differences that came through clearly in the debate revolved around using international alliances to help solve problems ranging from Iraq to nuclear proliferation, Kerry more in favor, Bush more skeptical.
KERRY: No president, through all of American history, has ever ceded, and nor would I, the right to pre-empt in any way necessary to protect the United States of America. But if and when you do it, Jim, you've got to do it in a way that passes the test, that passes the global test, where your countrymen, your people understand fully why you're doing what you're doing, and you can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons.
BUSH: I'm not exactly sure what you mean, "passes the global test," you take preemptive action if you pass a global test. My attitude is, you take pre-emptive action in order to protect the American people. That you act in order to make this country secure.
PAUL GIGOT: Susan, my Republican sources were saying after the debate that they thought that this was the one big opening that John Kerry gave them. And the next day, in Allentown, the President brought up this "global test" subject. Do you think it really is a political opening for the President to hit back at John Kerry on the question of who's best on the terror war?
SUSAN LEE: Oh yes, I think it takes back everything that Kerry was at great pains to say during the debate, which is I am not going to seek permission to go to war. With this one sentence, he just kind of erased it. And if he calls attention to the other stuff then he's going to be accused of being a flip flopper again. But I will say that Bush muddied his own water by later on in the debate talking about having multi-lateral talks with North Korea, where Kerry was kind of for a more stripped down, bilateral talks. And the whole discussion really was one of those discussions that only people who live in Washington could really love.
DOROTHY RABINOWITZ: You know, it's really true that however he may have muddied the water there, it's really Kerry who went back to the kind of thing that has done him in overall, this vague reference to, "we have to explain to the people," and "we have to explain to the world." And Bush's instincts were very clear and on target there. He smelled the trap that Kerry got himself in.
PAUL GIGOT: Let's deal with the substance here for a second of allies. Do we have a prospect of getting them, other than the Iraqis who we're recruiting and training? I mean, the French foreign minister said this week, "We're not helping." The Germans have said flat out, "We're not helping." Who is really going to come to our aid in Iraq, whether or not John Kerry is elected or George Bush is re-elected?
DAN HENNINGER: Well, this is a very key issue. And this is why I thought the debate -- it was a terrific debate, it was very substantive. It offered the American people a choice. I mean, we're talking about two separate world views here, whether it is Iraq or whether it is proliferation or Iran or the next crisis down the road. John Kerry believes in diplomacy and using international institutions, and Germany and France, to surround a problem and work it. Whereas, George Bush, the Republican administration, believes in leaning more harder and going beyond merely international institutions and support to work a problem. These are two entirely different ways of dealing with the world. And I think the American people were served very well by being given a clear choice in that debate.
PAUL GIGOT: Yeah, I think that's going to be a choice that is driven here between now and the election. We're going to hear a lot more of this.
So let's go to another segment here. One of the themes of the debate was the issue of character. As President Bush continued to press his description of Kerry sending mixed messages that would make it impossible for him to be an effective leader. Kerry, in turn, sharpened his attack on the President, seeming to call him stubborn and inflexible.
KERRY: It's one thing to be certain. But you can be certain and be wrong. It's another to be certain and be right, or be certain and be moving in the right direction, or be certain about a principle and then learn new facts and take those new facts and put them to use in order to change and get your policy right.
BUSH: Listen, I fully agree that one should shift tactics. But what I won't do is change my core values. Because of politics, or because of pressure. There's enormous pressure on the president. He cannot wilt under that pressure. Otherwise, the world won't be better off.
PAUL GIGOT: Dorothy, before the debates conventional wisdom was that -- and all the polls showed, really -- that John Kerry was behind President Bush on these issues of personal qualities, leadership, whether you can stick to your convictions, likeability. Do you think John Kerry addressed any of those weaknesses, and made up some ground on those questions.
DOROTHY RABINOWITZ: I think he did. I think he dropped he Old Testament prophet tone just a little bit, and began to talk like a regular person. But just a little bit. I mean, it didn't go great. And he lost that sort of haranguing tone of the prosecutor in there. So that he lowered the decibel level. It was a softer tone. Those things matter. This is television.
PAUL GIGOT: One of the best things that happened, I thought, for John Kerry was the timing. The lights. They said basically, you've got to keep your answer short. You've got to keep it right within those limits. And he did. And he was disciplined, instead of the rambling John Kerry we often see on the --
DANIEL HENNINGER: He ought to carry those lights around with him on the campaign trail.
PAUL GIGOT: Yes. But the President is still making this issue about personal fortitude, I'll stick with it, John Kerry won't. Did he score any points?
SUSAN LEE: Well I thought that John Kerry's best moment was when he said, "I have never wilted in my life." Right away, in my mind, a news reel started unfolding of Kerry as a young man fighting the war in Viet Nam, of Kerry testifying against -- all these things, Kerry being beat up in the campaign. And yet, there was Kerry, standing there on Thursday night, good shirt, right? Good hairdo, fabulous suit. And I thought, yeah, okay, this guy will never wilt.
PAUL GIGOT: All right. Quickly, the debates often change election. The debates in 1960, 1980, 2000 arguably did. Other debates don't. We don't remember them: 1984, 1988, '92, '96. Quickly, do you think this debate changed the dynamics of this election in a way that is lifting John Kerry to where he has a chance to win?
SUSAN LEE: Yeah, I think this is 1980. I think this is Carter/Reagan, when after the debate people felt much more comfortable with Reagan than they had.
PAUL GIGOT: Dan?
DAN HENNINGER: It's not a normal election, and it's a historic war election. We have two men who definitely disagree on the way to conduct the war on terror. I think it is a historic election.
PAUL GIGOT: Dorothy?
DOROTHY RABINOWITZ: I don't think it's a seminal change. I think it's an improvement in John Kerry's chances, slightly. I think it is -- as everyone said, it will tighten the polls a bit.
PAUL GIGOT: Yeah, he prevented a run-away. But we've still got a long way to go, and I think President Bush still comes out of this with the edge. All right. Thank you. Next subject.

Data Doesn't Add Up For Dress Code Policy
Story by: Courtney Roszak
All throughout our high school career we constantly hear teachers say the same things… "We are getting you ready for the real world." Or "We are preparing you for college." It seems those two lines are something we hear on a daily basis. This year, however, students are also hearing those lines when it comes to the new dress policy, and they are responding in a not so happy manner.
At the start of the 2012-2013 school year, each class was called to the auditorium, as always, for their class meeting where students received a little reminder of the schools rules. A new part added in this year was the ever so strict dress code that changed rules for both males and females on how they dress.
Students responded fast to the changes, some even booing, but others soon started to question the policy, asking themselves and others, how does this affect my education and why are there the new changes?
The goal of the new dress code, according to Dean of Students, Kevin Formolo, is to "prepare students for appropriate apparel to wear to an interview or job, and to give South High a promotable appearance that says students are serious about their education."
What I would like to know is, how can administration determine if students take their education seriously based on how they dress? The young adults of the 1960s are now politicians, business leaders and owners...they wore jeans and "hippy" clothes that people didn't like back then!
School is different from work or an interview. I think it is safe to say a majority of South students know what is appropriate to wear to an interview and what is not. Going to school is not the same as going to work.
Last year, at the end of the 2011-2012 school year, administration distributed a survey at South asking 105 employees what they thought were some of the biggest problems in the school. Formolo shared the results of the survey with the Lake Breeze.
The dress code did not make the top five, and yet it is one of the number one changes being done this school year! Dress code had a zero percent response to being a problem in the classroom that affected student learning. Last year, there were zero referrals due to dress code, and even though there is no box on referrals that say "Dress Code," there is always the "other" box that can be marked.
I believe that with the data gathered, the administration may be focusing too heavily on the dress code while there are other important issues going on that were mentioned in the survey...such as inappropriate language/insubordination at school.
There should be a limit on what students can and cannot wear, however there is always a line for what may be too over the top. How does seeing a girl's strap affect learning in the classroom? It doesn't for the majority of students.
High school students, usually by the age of fifteen, know what is classy and what is close to that line of being trashy. Students know what to wear; they shouldn't have to be worrying if their inseam is three inches when they could be doing more important things, like studying for that big test. Let's try to keep South a positive place of learning while giving students a bit of freedom and listening to the data that is given in surveys.

Elk County has been a land of firsts for Nick Mirra.
Mirra debuted in 2009 and won his first match here, then won the CWF (Championship Wrestling Federation) Allegheny Mountains Championship last year in the area.
Now, he defends that title for the first time Saturday as he is scheduled to face "Hot Stuff" Chris Marx at the Ridgway Rumble put on by CWF as a benefit for the Bodien family. The show is slated to start at 7 p.m. at the Central Hose Company along North Broad Street in Ridgway.
The Rising Stars 16U boys traveled to Orlando, Fla. to compete in the 2011 Division II AAU Nationals from July 25-30.
Current Ridgway basketball players Eric Matheson and Sam Roselli were part of this AAU team.
The third annual Ridgway YMCA Kids Triathlon was held July 30 with 14 triathletes participating. Based at the Ridgway YMCA, the event consisted of swimming, biking, and running. The swim leg was held in the YMCA pool, and the bike and run legs were held on nearby streets. The transition area for T1 (swim to bike) and T2 (bike to run) was located behind the former Ridgway Armory building.

One of the words that comes to mind when I think about Panama is "diversity." For such a small country, the array of landscapes, plants and animals here is truly astonishing! And I think our Panama Multisport trips, with their great blend of activities offer the ideal introduction to such variety. In fact, you'll probably come away from your trip having done and seen more with Backroads in six days than you'd experience in a couple weeks on your own!- Regional Manager, Latin America

text: We've chosen to take a look at Arbitron Inc (NYSE:ARB) because today's bullish price action caused the stock to bounce off the support of a nine-month trendline. As you can see from the chart below, the ascending trendline has propped up the price several times in the past and we'd expect that this time it will be no different. Technical traders will hold a bullish outlook on this stock until the price closes below trendline. We've also noticed that the price is testing the previous swing high that was created in April (shown by the horizontal line). This level will likely provide additional support when the bears try to send the price lower again.

I wanted to start a new thread on this, since there is so much good information that this subject requires. Let's collect as much info and tips as we can!
I'm starting with a general overview of the chamber reaming process that I have read. I know from my limited experience that the condition of the lathe is important. If you can't true up the lathe, then you don't need to be reaming a barrel on it!
The lathe requires a steady-rest to be used to support the barrel. That gives you two support points - both the head and the steady rest. You must true up the barrel so there is little, if any, runout. This is the most time-consuming part of the process. PREPARATION IS KEY! Only if the barrel is properly prepared can the reamer do its work.
Use plenty of cutting oil, and be sure to clear chips as often as possible. Low RPMs are important so the reamer doesn't dull or seize. Recommendations I've read are "up to " 200 RPM for the reamer.
If you are not sure that the outer diameter of the barrl is true, then use the dial indicator to measure against a tight-fitting plug in the bore. That will ensure the chamber is calibrated to the bore and not the outside barrel diameter. This may not be a necessary step.
With the barrel true, use a starter bit to cut a shallow recess in the barrel. This will help keep the cutter aligned when it starts to bite. Use either a roughing reamer or an under-sized drill bit to start the cut. Cut to a point before the chamber shoulder should begin. Then remove the rougher and use a finishing reamer for the final part of the cut.
Use either a headspace gauge or some other measuring device to measure the depth of the cut. Too deep and you'll have to remove metal from the breech to get it right. Too shallow, keep on cutting.
A new tool I've discovered (thank Bradrock!) is a "floating reamer holder" that lets a slightly out-of-spec tailstock do the work. It lets the reamer "float" by using either a spinning collar or a ball bearing for the axial thrust. The reamer is held in place by either a box wrench or a tap wrench.
Finally, you can polish the chamber with sand paper or a dremel polishing wheel, then with a metal polish like Flitz.
You guys out there with more experience and knowledge on this topic, please post more info, or corrections to my short explanation!

Product description
An inside look at how the battle off the field affects the competition on the field of america's most popular sport--from one of the Nfl's most successful and respected head coaches.Fresh off the sidelines from a nine-year stint as one of the most successful leaders in pro football, Super Bowl-winning head coach Brian Billick has written a book about the sport he knows and loves, giving readers a fresh perspective on America's Game. Combining his own experiences with a wealth of new interviews gained through his unsurpassed access to pro football's most influential figures, Billick has written a vibrant, compelling account of the true state of the game today, and the dangers that it faces in the near future. The National Football League stands as perhaps America's last great mass entertainment, the rare enterprise that brings together a broad cross-section of our increasingly niche-driven marketplace. But even as the game has grown more popular, so has the financial pressure and stakes for all concerned. In this taut, lucid breakdown of the game's inner workings, Billick shows how dynasties are built and teams assembled, and he explains in detail how the economic pressures of the modern NFL can affect coaches and players alike. Billick welcomes fans into the locker rooms and the boardrooms for a revealing portrait of pro football and a penetrating look at the forces that will vie for control of America's most popular game in the future.

Review quote
"Like Brian Billick, I've experienced the ultimate highs and lows of being a head coach in the NFL, so I read "More Than a Game" with great personal interest. Brian writes with fascinating detail about a wide range of topics facing the sport. There's eye-opening perspective on how the game has evolved, and how he sees it changing in the future. If you care about pro football, this is a tremendous book and a pleasure to read -- I felt like I was in the room and on the field with him in each chapter." -- Super Bowl-winning head coach Jon Gruden

2-in-1 Decompression Back Belt with FREE Magic Heat Pad
How It Works
The HoPhysio Decompression Belt is a revolutionary new product engineered to help relieve a lifetime of back pain in as little as 30 minutes.
The Decompression Belt helps provide relief for:
The Decompression Belt is clinically observed to help (click on subject to read more):
- Decompress lower back joints & spinal discs
- Lift & keep upper body weight off lower back
- Stabilizes lower back & improves posture
- Strengthens back and core
- Stretch & relieve tight lower back muscles
- Relieve lower back pain & stiffness
Decompress lower back joints & spinal discs
As the HoPhysio Belt inflates with air, it expands vertically, gently stretching and tractioning the lower back. This gentle traction helps decompress the spinal discs.
Decompression helps relieve pressure off pinched nerves, degenerative, herniated, and bulging discs. Relieving the pressure allows degenerative discs to get the water, oxygen, and nutrients it requires for faster healing. It permits herniated and bulging discs to return to their normal position and condition. And reducing the constriction on pinched nerves such as the sciatic nerve helps relieve shooting leg pains.
In fact, a recent study involving 219 patients with degenerative disc diseases and herniated discs found that of those who completed spinal decompression therapy, 86% showed immediate improvement and resolution of their symptoms. (1)
With the HoPhysio Belt, you don't need to make appointments and go to expensive clinics. The HoPhysio Belt makes home physio possible and affordable for people with chronic back pain. Now you can decompress your back whether you're standing, walking, sitting, or lying down.

Lift & keep upper body weight off lower back
Pressure equals pain. Whether it's work-related, gravity, or simply the weight of your upper body – pressure on your lower back can cause pain. If you could unload some weight off your back, you could have less back pain.
The HoPhysio Decompression Belt is not just a regular support belt. When it is inflated, it increases in height by 4 inches (7.5 cm). Since the Belt cradles the hip and the lower rib cage, it helps lift your upper body, unloading the weight off the lower back and allowing the muscles to relax. In doing so, the Belt helps decrease pressure on your back, stretches tight muscles, and decompresses the discs. Less pressure means less pain.
In fact, it has been demonstrated that the Belt can lift at least 20 lbs off your back. Imagine taking 20 lbs of painful pressure off your back! Imagine the relief!
Stabilizes lower back & improves posture
With aging, regular wear & tear, degenerative and herniated discs, the back can become unstable. Sometimes, the simple act of bending forward can trigger severe back pain and muscle spasms. This occurs because the muscles are working so hard to hold the spine together.
By providing strong support and stabilization for the lower back, the HoPhysio Belt helps prevent this from occurring. The Belt helps hold your mid-section together to help support and stabilize your spine and muscles.
With such support, you will stand taller and straighter, because it helps stop you from slouching. This not only helps improve your posture, but also helps reduces the strain and pain on your back.
Strengthens back and core
Contrary to common belief, wearing the HoPhysio Belt will not weaken your back. In fact, it can actually help strengthen your back and core.
With the HoPhysio Belt, you can get the support and pain relief you need to be active and do the things you've always avoided. By being active, you engage your back and abdominal muscles (collectively, your core) which helps keep them strong and healthy.
Stretch & relieve tight lower back muscles
With injuries and misalignments (eg. Herniated or bulging disc, spinal stenosis, scoliosis), the surrounding muscles may automatically contract to help support and protect the area of pain. Over time, these muscle contractions can lead to tight muscles and severe muscle tension. Muscle tension can cause stress on the spine and aggravate lower back pain.
When inflated, the HoPhysio Belt gently pushes down on the hip and up on the lower rib to help stretch the muscles of the lower back. Stretching can help elongate muscles to help reduce stress on the surrounding joints. It can also help increase your range of motion and improve your flexibility to help make daily activities easier
Relieve lower back pain & stiffness
By providing decompression therapy, relieving painful pressure, stabilizing the lower back, improving core strength, and stretching tight muscles, many people have reported getting fast relief from their lower back pain using the HoPhysio Decompression Belt.

South Carolina's upcoming GOP primary got some attention Monday from Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart."
Stewart introduced a segment by Daily Show reporter Jordan Klepper by asking, "How can conservative voters tell who is the real Mr. Right?"
Klepper says Republican members of Congress all over the nation are worried about primary opposition from the right, except for S.C. Sen. Lindsey Graham.
"Lindsey Graham is the most conservative person in the U.S. Senate race," Graham supporter and former U.S. representative Bob Inglis tells Klepper.
Then the camera switches to Bill Connor, who tells Klepper "I believe I am the true conservative in this race." Next up are two supporters of Lee Bright, who say that he is the most conservative.
Not mentioned in the segment were four other Graham challengers: Det Bowers, Richard Cash, Benjamin Dunn and Nancy Mace.

These boys are very hot and very straight but most of all they are broke. Rather then lose their apartment, girlfriend, etc. they do sexual things with other guys for some quick cash.
Kaydin and Tom have known each other for six years and to top that off both have been laid off from work. With no money coming in they were quickly getting behind on their bills and wanted to find a way to make some money. They gave me a call and we discussed what I would be able to use them for. Both agreed to giving oral a try when they would do the shoot. We setup a date for them to come up to the studio. When both guys arrived they seemed a little tired, so I actually gave them some downtime to just chill and relax before we were to start doing the shoot. Taking a seat on the bed, Kaydin sat on the left side of the bed and Tom on the right. Going over an introduction we talked for a bit about what they have been up do, and were going to be doing in the shoot.

Groups host drug-free, alcohol-free alternative to weeklong holiday at McCaughan Park
CORPUS CHRISTI - While thousands partied Tuesday on area beaches, hundreds gathered downtown for an alternative to the typical spring break experience.
The fifth annual Break the Norm event at McCaughan Park featured games, music and prizes geared toward purely sober fun.
It's hosted each year by the Coastal Bend AIDS Foundation as an option for families looking to avoid the beads, booze and debauchery often seen at the beach.
Emilee Garza, 8, got to experience firsthand how difficult it can be to ride a tricycle after drinking too much thanks to special goggles that mimic the effects of intoxication.
Several nonprofits and local organizations promoted drug-free, alcohol-free lifestyles with pamphlets and informative displays. Hurricane Alley Roller Derby League members let youngsters know you can be sober and still be cool.
With moon jumps, a dunking booth and face painting, visitors had plenty to do instead of imbibe, organizers said.
And judging by the event's big crowd, that's OK with a large portion of this year's spring breakers.

Stanley Cup Nighton June 12, 2012 at 12:00 am
Kings won the Cup! Okay, I'm not a huge Kings fan, but after 45 years, they're due. And any year the Leafs don't win the Cup is a good year by me.
But the main reason I wanted the Kings to win the Cup was that Dustin Penner is from Winkler, and he's going to bring the Cup back to Southern Manitoba. Party with Lord Stanley's mug!
Kind of a Canadian tradition to get your picture taken with the Stanley Cup, but I refused to touch it (you're not supposed to touch it til you win it; I'm still sort of hoping to get drafted by the Canadiens).

its the first time i picked up a pen in days
my minds at a block, I'm being pulled in a thousand different ways
i know what i want to say, but don't know how to say it
its on the tip of my pen but the ink is faded
I'm speechless, I'm lock jawed tight
I'm up side down being turned inside out
digging deep trying to figure this out
im like a kid that climbed a tree, thats to afraid to climb down
I'm stuck at the top, someone please get me down
i need an idea, some kind of map to follow
give me a plan or a thought to borrow
maybe I'll take a nap and awake tomorrow
and the words will flow like no tomorrow


text: 2014 NFL Draft: Will Clarke would be great fit at LB for Philadelphia Eagles 2014 NFL Draft: Will Clarke would be great fit at LB for Philadelphia Eagles Current Football Featured On Campus SHARE Chris Humphrey , April 19, 2014 / 441 0 Before hearing his name called at Radio City Music Hall, the ears of former West Virginia Mountaineer Will Clarke are surely burning as his name continues to be a topic of conversation as next month's NFL Draft approaches. The latest buzz surrounding Clarke focuses not only on his selection by a division winner from last year, but also a potential position change if he makes it to the NFL. At West Virginia's Pro Day in March, the Philadelphia Eagles were in attendance at the Caperton Indoor Practice Facility and did the majority of their drills with Clarke at the linebacker position instead of defensive end or tackle. If it ends up being the linebacker position, Clarke will give Philadelphia something they desperately need going forward in coach Chip Kelly's second year: pressure. Najee Goode, a former linebacker from 2008-2011 at West Virginia, has been on the Philadelphia roster since last September after being waived by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Goode and Clarke crossed paths for two seasons (2010 and 2011) during their respective times in Morgantown. In his four seasons, Clarke finished his career tied for No. 6 all-time at West Virginia with 31.5 tackles for a loss with former Mountaineer Adam Lehnortt. However, Philadelphia ranked dead last in the NFL against the pass last season as the defense was shredded by opponents in a league increasingly leaning toward the wide open passing games popularized in the collegiate ranks. The team also finished outside of the top 15 in terms of sacks for the second straight year for a defense that usually terrorizes opposing quarterbacks in years past. Clarke has a great resume of measurables for a move to linebacker for Philadelphia with impressive speed even though he carries more than 270 pounds on his 6'6 frame. At this combine weight and height, Clarke is taller than any other linebacker for Philadelphia and matches pound-for-pound with two-time Pro Bowler, Trent Cole. That seems like a recipe to be a future playmaker on the defensive side of the ball, if he were given a chance. Whether these rumors of being selected and changing positions comes to fruition with the Eagles, Clarke would be following a similar path of former Mountaineer and current Super Bowl champion Bruce Irvin. Clarke certainly would not argue with retracing that path as a member of the Eagles. Follow Chris on Twitter on @_CBH_ and WVU Pros at @WVUPros.

Soon after that news, Matthews says, a pregnant inmate who was having early contractions came up to the window and held up a tiny sac of tissue. "'Nurse,' she said, 'I think I just miscarried,'" Matthews recalls. "It was extremely loud in there, the staff nurse had her hands tied, and it made me feel horrible. I often felt very concerned that patients were not going to make it through their pregnancies, and I left a lot of times feeling worthless because I couldn't do anything about it."
The usually healthy Matthews was then hit with a series of flu-like bouts she couldn't shake for months.
* * *
In March 2003, Matthews remembers, her request for a small refrigerator to store diabetic patients' insulin had been rejected once again. "I was so tired of asking and asking for one that I just went out and bought a used one," she says. She later learned that the men's jail would be receiving five new refrigerators. "I was so sick of it."
One spring morning not long after that, Matthews came in at 4 a.m. for her shift and heard screaming. She went to the infirmary and saw the patient in the window. "I saw that her face was just swollen from having cried and cried so much. She looked at me through the glass and said, 'I have a migraine headache, and I can't take it anymore.'" The banging and screeching spilling from the cells on either side of her had kept her up all night.
"I had been in there lots of times when people had been screaming and yelling and things had been very bad, but never had a patient that was medical come up to the door and look me in the eyes and say, 'I can't take it anymore.'"
Afterward, Matthews broke out in a cold sweat. The chest pressure that had been creeping up on her during her shifts became stronger. A co-worker told her she looked pale, that she should go home. She eventually went to the doctor, who said she likely had a stress-induced ulcer. He gave her medication, and Matthews went back to work.
By now, the nightmares had begun, and she was sleeping only a few hours a night. In April, when she went back for a checkup, she broke down. "I just cried and cried and cried, and I couldn't stop," she says. Her doctor referred her to a string of specialists, psychiatrists and psychologists. She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and post-traumatic stress disorder, brought on, her doctors concluded, by her work environment.
The county doctor confirmed that her illness was stress-related, and she was approved for Worker's Compensation benefits. She left her post for what she hoped would be only a short time. It's been five years. She hasn't been paid a dime in Worker's Compensation in two years and is fighting for disability-insurance payments. She'd like to return to work someday, she says, but more than anything, she'd like to know that something will be done about the women's jail. "Here were are, five years later, and the women are still in the same [infirmary] area. The only thing they've changed is the name."

It's all about the money, money, money… and food?
{image credit :: audrey sue via pinterest}
My husband and I recently began working our way through Suze Orman's self-help guide to financial freedom. With more than a little student loan debt (grad school don't come cheap!), we were wanted to ensure that we were most wisely planning for our financial future.
I personally think Suze Orman is brilliant, witty, and intuitive (sensing the crush I have?), so I was willing to do about anything she suggested. One of the first exercises in the workbook asked us to spend some time reflecting on our financial histories. Specifically, she wanted us to go back to childhood and think about our first memories of money and the beliefs, assumptions, and feelings that originated there. Having dreaded doing a workbook on money matters, I was relieved at this task. Deep psychological exploration? This I could handle!
Despite a smidge of initial skepticism (Memories, my husband questioned? Where does this book talk about our 401k options?), we took the plunge and started talking about early memories of money. While we come from very similar upbringings in terms of economic status, the ways that our families (and eventually we) thought about money were very different. Suddenly, so many of the disagreements that we have today about money (which, maybe surprisingly, aren't many) came into clearer focus. We weren't just disagreeing on how to allocate retirement savings – we were (subconsciously) talking about some of our deepest insecurities and fears.
As I started digging into my own financial formation, I began to think about just how much matters of money affect and reflect our relationships with food and ourselves. As a psychologist who treats eating disorders, it's interesting to me to see these connections play out for my patients as well.
It's not uncommon for someone who restricts their food to restrict their spending as well. Oftentimes I understand these behaviors as intimately tied to one another – a person will describe feeling unworthy to eat or consume, whether it's food or material items. They might spend money on others, but they will rewear tattered clothing, deny themselves typical "splurges," and in general avoid taking for themselves. In my understanding, the root of these behaviors lies squarely on the issue of shame. Can I be seen? Do I deserve? Am I okay?
For most individuals, a pattern of dietary restriction isn't sustainable in the long-run. Eventually, they engage in binge eating because their bodies and minds are so ravaged from a period of restriction and starvation. This pattern happens almost identically with spending. If we deny ourselves buying the things we want and need for so long, eventually we "crack" and buy something we're not even sure we want, oftentimes spending more than we had previously saved. A personal example was when I had agreed to not buy new clothes for a year in order to save money (I admittedly had a pretty full closet). Within the first two weeks, I found myself on online retailers and Pinterest looking at new fashions – things I never did before! It reminded me of the Minnesota starvation experiment when men were restricted food intake for many weeks. Soon the men started exhibited a significant preoccupation with food, reporting dreaming about it, imagining it, playing with it when it was available. The lesson? Restriction doesn't work! And the resulting feelings of shame and self-blame when one "breaks down" then just perpetuate the cycle.
What this all means is that if you struggle with your relationship food, you might also want to take a closer look at your finances as well. Notice if you can find similar patterns emerging, and if you might benefit from some professional guidance.
Do you see your relationship with food being connected to your relationship with money?

It is absolutely connected…inextricably! As I have worked on my food issues, money issues have surfaced. As I get "better" with food, I get better with money, too.

I love how Geneen Roth explored how our relationship with money mirrors our relationship with food. It all comes down to restrictors and permitters.

From my personal experience, I think you are right. There is a connection between money and food restrictions.
Money was very tight growing up and I still feel the importance of saving. I also prefer to live simply.
The Husband and his family are very different. They don't over spent, but are not afraid to buy the nicest they can afford or a little better. We have a lot of what I consider luxury items that the Hubby wants. Items that make life more comfortable, but not always a necessity in my opinion.
Our eating habits kind of follow this line of thought. I tend to eat what I need or a little less vs. over filling myself.

My husband and I have no restrictions when it comes to food. We spend so much for it. Our main concern is that, we work hard to be able to eat what we want to eat. Aside from spending for our child of course. We focus on food rather than things which are not that important at home.

Yes, there's clearly a parallel–those who struggle with compulsive eating and compulsive spending, as you describe. But the "wack a mole" effect also occurs–when eating disorders are coming under control we may see an increase in spending issues–not because they are feeling better but because it becomes their alternative coping.
BTW, I once saw a great video on the Ancel Key's experiment you describe; any idea where to find it?

I find that I always spend guilt-free on food without thinking.. which leads to a lot of overspending. Groceries and eating out alike.
Other things like clothes, electronics and make up… I always think before I buy because I DO feel guilty with big purchases (and too many of them).

Being single is probably the only reason I don't have a problem with food. I eat when i'm hungry, and only then, irregardless of what/when anyone else eats. My body feels and works better when I only eat twice a day, and and that tends to be minimally processed, dairy-free food. In other words: expensive!
How do I handle the food/money quandry? By knowing my limits, and what I don't want in my life. What I don't need: cable tv, alcohol, cigarettes, soda, a dishwasher, a mortage. Since when did renting lose all respectbility? There are alot of places where a lease is a lot cheaper than mortage payments (can you tell I like my apartment?).
What I do need: LED lightbulbs (expensive but worth the investment), an powerswitches, the know-how to keep my almost four year old computer in tip top shape. Dryerballs. And a DivaCup (I don't sell them, but if you search "DivaCup" they'll definitely save you a lot of money). Get your hair done at a cosmotology school for super cheap, they get "graded" by an instructor on each cut, so they'll be super careful!.
Just my two cents. Good luck.

Food and money issues are connected. The money that one has determines how the consume food and what type of foods they consume, and therefore in the event that has issues with money they will tend to have issues with the food they consume.

June 18, 2008
Lamar head coach Steve Roccaforte has announced the hiring of George "Tic" Price as an assistant coach.
Price has 28 years of coaching experience, including 10 as a head coach, with nine combined NCAA and NIT appearances to his credit. He has taken four different teams to postseason play.
"I am extremely excited to have him with us," Roccaforte said.. "He is a veteran coach with a lot of experience, an excellent recruiter and very good floor coach. When the opportunity arose to hire Tic, I couldn't pass it up considering his expertise and knowledge of the game."
Price spent the 2007-08 season as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at North Texas. The Mean Green recorded their second straight 20-win season and notched a school-record 15 home victories. UNT signed three players for the upcoming season including Eric Tramiel, a first team junior college all-America selection.
Southland Conference followers may remember Price from the six seasons he spent on the staff at McNeese State, including five as the head coach. During the 2000-01 season, he was the associate head coach for a team that went 22-9, produced the best turnaround in the NCAA and a nation-leading 17-game conference winning streak, won the SLC title and played in the NIT.
A year later Price took over as head coach and led the Cowboys to a 21-8 record, the SLC regular-season and tournament titles and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. McNeese went 74-68 in his tenure as the head coach from 2001-06.
Price went to McNeese following three years as the head coach at New Orleans and two as the head coach at Memphis. He went 30-27 at UM as the Tigers reached the second round of NIT with a 17-12 mark in his first year.
His time in New Orleans marked his first career head coaching job and saw the Privateers win 20 games each season with a trip to the NCAA Tournament as a No. 11 seed in 1996 and an NIT bid in 1997.
As a head coach he has won 10 different coaching honors including Southland Conference coach of the year, Sun Belt Conference coach of the year, Louisiana Sports Writers Association collegiate coach of the year and NABC District 8 coach of the year.
He is married to the former Jamie Lynn Simms and the couple has two children, a son Ryan who played for his father at McNeese State and a daughter, Chanel.

An original creation based on stories by South American writers, this production will embody the spirit of magical realism to create an absurd world in which everything is possible: A man who vomits rabbits, a library containing all the world's knowledge, bizarre instructions on how to cry or climb a staircase. This production will feature a collaboration with local theatre artist Dario Tangleson, specializing in developing original pieces through a physical acting style in the spirit of Italian Commedia del'arte.
Performed in the Westlund Black Box, Facing South will also be available for performances throughout the community and region.

Not until Lewis acknowledged her story in the 1994 autobiography "Uncommon Knowledge" did the general public know the truth: Lewis was not the adopted daughter of Hollywood starlet Loretta Young, but had been conceived out of wedlock by Young […] [Read More]

While we are off on our beach vacation, I am leaving you with a small Summer Reading list. I asked each one of these wonderful bloggers a couple of questions to give you an idea of who they are. I hope that you enjoy these blogs as much as I do and that you visit often.
Today being Friday it's about food. These two wonderful food bloggers are not only brilliant cooks but also amazing photographers that draw you in with every post.
Sprouted Kitchen: Never has healthy food looked so good. With photos that draw you right in, Sprouted Kitchen gets you every time. The authors of 'The Sprouted Kitchen' cookbook make your stomach grumble.
1. What is your favourite blog that you can't wait to read as soon as a new post is published?
Oh man, I can't pick just one! I love the writing on Seven Spoons, Happyyolks and Smitten Kitchen. I love Heidi's ideas at 101cookbooks, Ashley's creativity on Not Without Salt and I have a dozen more I check often.
2. How is it to work on cooking a meal with a camera documenting all your steps?
I am pretty quick in the kitchen, so it's tough for me to slow down so Hugh can document the process a bit. Even when he is photographing something, I move on to the next step because I can't handle being still in the kitchen! It's a place of productivity for me, just standing around drives me nuts. I've gotten better because I realize he can only do what he does well, when I give him the tool to do so by slowing down :) It's fun to do together, good for both of us!
Not Without Salt: Fresh seasonal recipes and exotic travel - all documented with amazing photography and great story telling. Ashley's tomato pesto is my favourite.
1. What is your favourite blog that you can't wait to read as soon as a new post is published?
Both Sprouted Kitchen and Seven Spoons - Those are the two that force me to drop everything if I see a new post is up. With beautiful imagery and dreamy words they lift me out of the chaos of the day to day and fill me with inspiration and fresh burst of energy.
2. How does all your travel affect your cooking and photography style?
