|Involvement of corticotropin-releasing factor in the anorexia induced by exercise.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 2207704 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The role of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) in the sex-dependent anorexia induced by exercise was investigated in male Wistar rats. Each rat was implanted with a permanent guide cannula that was stereotaxically positioned close to the right lateral ventricle of the brain. During the recovery period, which lasted 10 days, rats were accustomed to eat three meals per day. The onset of each meal occurred every 8 hours. During a meal, rats were allowed free access to a pelleted stock diet for one hour. Ten days after the surgery, rats were injected in the right lateral ventricle of the brain with either saline or 100 micrograms of alpha-helical CRF (9-41), a selective CRF antagonist. Fifteen minutes after the injections, half of the rats were forced to exercise while the others were allowed to rest. The exercise consisted of a moderately intense period of running on a motor-driven treadmill during 40 minutes. Immediately after the period of exercise, animals were offered food, and the amount eaten during the meal period was carefully measured. The results indicate that the exercised rats ate less food than resting animals when saline was infused prior to subjecting the animals to running. In addition, in saline-treated animals, growth of exercised rats was slower than that of resting rats during the day following exercise. Contrastingly, in rats infused with alpha-helical CRF (9-41) exercise exerted no effect on food intake, neither did it reduce body weight gain of the rats. The present results suggest that CRF plays a major role in the anorexia caused by exercise in male rats.

Wicked Eddies (An RM Outdoor Adventures Mystery)
Item Description
Book two in the RM Outdoor Adventure Mystery series by Agatha Award finalist Beth Groundwater.
Fly fishing is dangerous? River ranger Mandy Tanner had no idea until days before a huge tournament in Salida, Colorado. True, the Arkansas River can be a man-eater, but the rapids weren't responsible for driving a hatchet into the neck of would-be competitor Howie Abbott—a secretive man who may have been cheating. While casting about for suspects, Mandy seeks clues from Abbott's family members, including her best friend, bartender Cynthia Abbott. But when Cynthia becomes the prime suspect, Mandy realizes that trolling for the true killer has plunged her way too deep into wicked eddies.
Wicked Eddies is a finalist for The Rocky Award for best mystery novel set in the Left Coast Crime Geographical Region

A small plane pulling a Geico banner crashed UPSIDE DOWN into a house in Northglenn on Monday.
Luckily the pilot survived with no major injuries, and no one was home when it happened . . . even the two dogs and the pet lizard inside weren't hurt. But the crash DID start a fire.
Luckily the pilot also happened to be a trained FIREFIGHTER. His name is Brian Veatch, and when he realized the house was on fire, he jumped out of the cockpit and started battling it with a GARDEN hose.
It's not clear how much damage the fire caused, but the fire department eventually put it out.
And here's the WEIRDEST part. It also turns out Brian used to OWN the house. The police don't think he crashed into it on purpose, it was just a crazy coincidence. Apparently he lived there from 2000 until 2003.
According to Brian's boss, he was supposed to fly the Geico banner over a Colorado Rockies game. Then the plane lost power, and he was trying to land in a nearby field.

Guitarists get all the glory, but it's the rhythm section that makes the band. While a melody or lyric often remains as the salient part of the song in a listener's memory, it's the way the song moves that first opens space in the listener's consciousness. Beneath the star-encrusted surface of rock history are the unsung rhythm sections that drove the evolution of style and continue to define the sound of scenes and genres.
The duo of drummer Ian White and bassist Mitch Masterson are a formidable local example. They might be regarded as the house band for Swordpaw Studios, the recording space in Troy's Oakwood Community Center. As a rhythm section and production team, they've lent their touch to a number of local bands and recording projects. Their most enduring group has been Bear Grass, the folk-rock quartet fronted by Katie Hammon, but they've recently begun to shop their services around, lending subtle support to kindred acts.
In late April, one of those acts, Careers, released a short EP of the work they've been busily plying in local clubs. The band is largely a vehicle for Stephen Stanley (formely of Barons in the Attic), whose unadorned vocals and reverb-drenched guitar is matched nicely by Meagan Duffy's ever-tasteful sensibilities. Le Rêve is the kind of record the tube amplifier was invented to produce, with Stanley and Duffy's Fenders chiming angelically over the understated pulse from White and Masterson. "It's the far off place between here and dreaming where we'll finally meet," Stanley sings on "Lucid Lullabye," charting the gauzy distance the rhythm section must maintain to support the band's forays into dream pop and shoegaze.
The duo step forward a few paces with Great Mutations, a trio rounded out by singer-guitarist Matthew Thouin. The band's debut, Cheap Stuff, will come out in July. Thouin's sensibilities lean on '90s indie rock, with cursory nods to Pavement and Guided by Voices but with the thorny Gen X angst scrubbed away. A better contemporary reference might be to the major-key pop rock of bands like Real Estate and Pure X, whose brandishment of sunny consonance seems almost ironic at first until its reliability proves brazen. This formula gives White and Masterson a little more space and a brighter tempo to flex within, but they're careful never to step on Thouin's measured melodies. Recorded between Swordpaw and Thouin's home studio, the record is studio pop of the most sturdy architecture, with keyboards, strings and harmonica sprinkled in for that high-resolution glow. Cheap Stuff is a kind of blues for first-world affliction, using the approximated perfection of verse and chorus as an antidote to the culture of domestic good-enough. "Each solution fine but never feeling like the best," Thouin sings on the title track, "left on the fence, and all your friends say don't be so sensitive, only to find their best years spent in offices."
White and Masterson's unobstrusiveness on both of these releases is their great gift, as well as their shy brand. Good pop becomes subliminal on some level and for that to happen the rhythm section has to be good about covering their tracks.

School leaders say they're looking at a "horrible" situation if state lawmakers don't strike a deal on school funding soon.
School officials say they're running out of time to prepare budgets for next year and it's still not clear when the Legislature will approve a funding increase. The Solon School Board passed a resolution this week calling for lawmakers to raise per-pupil state support by 4 percent for the next two years and to do so sooner than later.
Until a funding bill is approved, school administrators say they're left guessing. ...

The Cowboy Symposium is upon us and we have an opportunity to go back to days of yesterday and look at the pages of the past. There is cowboy food from the chuck wagons and cowboy music, stories, and poetry. Put on your cowboy duds, dude out, and take a trip back into the history of the wild west in New Mexico.
I am grateful and thankful for those who have gone before and provide us with a rich heritage for our state. The pioneers come with an exploring heart. Some were traders. Some were miners. Some were ranchers. Some were farmers. But all had the spirit of adventure. They were all looking for adventures which had never before been experienced.
Some looked for riches. Some looked for new and unique situations. Some just wanted to be the first to see and do. Some wanted fame. Most risked everything and lost. A few risked everything and won. To be in New Mexico in the early days was a gamble, and the stakes were high.
Of course, the Native Americans were here first. They knew the land, its riches and its poverty. They know the dangers and the comforts. We celebrate with the residents of the Mescalero Reservation from time to time in the year. So we celebrate both cowboys and Indians in a respectful and wholesome way. They are all a part of our history and tradition.
Let us be faithful to keep and not forget the history and traditions of our forefathers. They are treasures to be kept and honored. From the wisdom of the past, we get help for today and hope for tomorrow.
And don't forget that there treasures to be had and remembrances to be brought to mind by the different vendors of songs and stuff. And the Good News Band of the J Bar J Country Church will be leading the worship service at 10 AM on Sunday morning. With Gospel singers like Jack and Deb Stone and Justin Trevino and others your Sunday and week will be ready with spiritual thoughts and songs.

Joe Armstrong will defend his PhD Thesis of Friday December 5th at 10:00 at IT Universitet KTH Kista Sal 4. Map showing forum
Thesis supervisor: Prof. Seif Haridi, IMIT/LECS, KTH.
Opponent: Prof Jean-Bernard Stefani, INRIA Project SARDES.
The thesis committee: Prof. Axel Jantsch, IMIT, KTH, Prof. Peter Van Roy, Universite Catholique, Belgium and Docent Konstantinos Sagonas, Uppsala Universitet.
Thesis Title: Making reliable distributed systems in the presence of software errors
Thesis Abstract:
The work described in this thesis is the result of a research program started in 1981 to find better ways of programming Telecom applications. These applications are large programs which despite careful testing will probably contain many errors when the program is put into service. We assume that such programs do contain errors, and investigate methods for building reliable systems despite such errors.
The research has resulted in the development of a new programming language (called Erlang), together with a design methodology, and set of libraries for building robust systems (called OTP). At the time of writing the technology described here is used in a number of major Ericsson, and Nortel products. A number of small companies have also been formed which exploit the technology.
The central problem addressed by this thesis is the problem of constructing reliable systems from programs which may themselves contain errors. Constructing such systems imposes a number of requirements on any programming language that is to be used for the construction. I discuss these language requirements, and show how they are satisfied by Erlang.
Problems can be solved in a programming language, or in the standard libraries which accompany the language. I argue how certain of the requirements necessary to build a fault-tolerant system are solved in the language, and others are solved in the standard libraries. Together these form a basis for building fault-tolerant software systems.
No theory is complete without proof that the ideas work in practice. To demonstrate that these ideas work in practice I present a number of case studies of large commercially successful products which use this technology. At the time of writing the largest of these projects is a major Ericsson product, having over a million lines of Erlang code. This product (the AXD301) is thought to be one of the most reliable products ever made by Ericsson.
Finally, I ask if the goal of finding better ways to program Telecom applications was fulfilled --- I also point to areas where I think the system could be improved.
The thesis is available here.

text: White House: We Had Nothing to Do With Freed Illegals Decision came from immigration officials, says press secretary By Matt Cantor, Newser User Posted Feb 28, 2013 8:04 AM CST STORY COMMENTS (199) (Newser) – As the sequestration game of "not it" continues, the White House yesterday insisted it played no part in the decision to release hundreds of detained illegal immigrants, as some Republicans had alleged. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials made the move "without any input from the White House, as a result of fiscal uncertainty over the continuing resolution, as well as possible sequester," said press secretary Jay Carney. A Homeland Security official told the Hill that it was just a larger-scale occurrence of a regular event, noting that ICE transitions illegal immigrants from detention centers into its less expensive supervision program almost daily.

It's been raining off and on today. I forgot to grab my umbrella when leaving this house this morning, but don't have anything outside I need to do.
First class today was the geology lab. Got out of there a little earlier then I normally do. Teaching time was a bit short and I don't have to turn in Homework for two weeks.
I was so relieved.
I also got in 20 minutes of walking this morning. I had the taxi drop me off across the street so I could buy a salad for lunch. It takes about 10 minutes to get to campus from walmart. Then when I was at work I was asked to go grab some three ring binders. The lady I work for got an email that there were some free ones on campus. We need them for paperwork. So I went around campus looking for the dolly and then the binders. Just to find out the binders were already taken. By the time I got back to the office it had been 10 minutes. Which is awesome, because I got paid to go walk for 10 minutes.
After work and my lunch I went to D.B.T. Which is my group therapy. It went pretty well today. During one part the instructor told us to look at the window. Two does had just started to graze on the lawn. Which was very calming to watch.
After class I gave up my snack to get close to the does. I had an apple set aside to munch on, but wanted to be in the moment and enjoy the wildlife while it was right there. Besides the deers on campus or very calm. There use to getting food and even candy from the students.
I then went into the tutoring lab and got logged on to the computer. When I opened my email I had a response from my teacher about my statistics homework. The assignment I was working on was not going to be a graded homework set. Once I found that out I just had to give a sigh of relief. That's when I started on my research homework for geology.
The whole time I was doing the research I thought it had to be done tonight. I thought it was due on FRIDAY. when I got done with the first set of question I noticed the date on the homework page was the wrong number. So I checked the calendar and it's not even due till MONDAY.
At least I have it half way completed.
My next move for today is to go home and relax. I do know I have two quizzes tomorrow, but can continue studying for those at home. Plus I'm sure I'm ready for them. I need to worry more about geology than statistics. I may hate statistics but I have an A in it. I'm on the very edge of getting a B in Geology. Doesn't help I boomed the first quiz but I can drop it at the end of term.
That reminds me, I have something to do next Saturday. It's the last time extra credit will be offered for geology and I need it. Only sucky part is that I have to right up a paper about the lecture, but it's over things we are discussing in class.

Re: A Curiosity QuestionGALACT1C0s117 Feb 16, 2013 7:39 AM (in response to ladylucina)
i won't give you a negative comment because i know what you feel, I'm an above average player and I don't feel like i'm the best player i know that there is always someone better, Also I like to change my style a lot, for example against really good players I play slower and change to an assault rifle and try to take an advantage in every gunfight. I've only met one guy that was really good and beat everytime even when I was headglitching this guy had an amazing shot and great reaction time.
Re: A Curiosity Questionladylucina Feb 16, 2013 7:44 AM (in response to GALACT1C0s117)
I mix up my style to. I have class set ups with SMG's, AR's, LMG,s, Shotguns and Snipers lol. All for a different style of play whenever I need to change it up or not even when I need to change it up, just when I feel I want to have a different game to the previous one. There was 3 different players on that team last night that really did outplay and outsmart me. I changed class a few times lol.
Re: A Curiosity QuestionMojo33 Feb 16, 2013 7:49 AM (in response to ladylucina)
Well said.
Me, I have no delusions about my skill level. Most of my games, my performance is average at best.
Occassionally I'll have a game at one extreme or the other. When I'm doing exceptionally well, it is thrilling and exciting. When I do particularly poorly, it can be incredibly frustrating.
We all have good games and bad. I try to learn from my mistakes whenever possible, shrug off the bad games as best as I can, and move on. Dwelling on my poor performance is not going to make me play any better. In fact, getting worked up about it only makes me more frustrated, and causes me to play worse.
I try not to make excuses when I lose. I try to avoid taking it so seriously that I get too worked up when I lose. It is only a game, after all, and I am supposed to be playing it for fun.
If I'm not able to have fun with it, or find I'm getting to frustated, I simply turn it off and find something else to do.
Re: A Curiosity Questionladylucina Feb 16, 2013 7:53 AM (in response to Mojo33)
very well said mojo. I totally agree. I don't get worked up either. I am like you, I try to learn from my mistakes etc. I don't go around saying my teammates were bad bla bla. Just accept defeat and move on is the way to go. But your reply is a great post

Dear Cesar,
My daughter has a ten-month-old black cocker spaniel. She has a submissive urination problem, like all female cocker spaniels. My own cocker spaniel has outgrown this problem. However, my daughter's cocker is getting worse. She has a six-year-old boy and four-year-old girl and a four-year-old viszla. My daughter's cocker Ginny is now urinating in her crate. She urinates if you talk to her, if the kids play with her, and even if her husband reaches down to pet her. My daughter has tried everything and is ready to get rid of the puppy.
HELP! Do you have any advice on what to do???
Thank you,
Fran Petersen
See Cesar's answer below
Dear Fran:
There are no problem breeds. It's a common habit to blame a dog's troublesome behaviors on its breed, but this is something that I personally disagree with. You say that all female cockers have submissive urination problems, but I know of many cocker spaniels who don't urinate when submitting, or when called to be in a submissive position. Conversely, I've experienced a multitude of other full and mixed breeds - small and large - that do exhibit this particular problem! Be careful about writing a dog off because it's got a reputation as a "problem breed." I believe there are no problem breeds, only problem owners.
Do not reward unwanted behavior. It sounds like Ginny may be easily excitable. If so, talking to her and petting her when she is in an unstable, excited state is not recommended. It only nurtures the unwanted behavior. What she may need is to release her pent-up energy, then return to a quiet, safe space.
Recommendations. I recommend a four-step approach to correct Giniy's submissive urination problem:
1. Take Ginny out on walks more frequently.
2. Make an appointment with her vet to see if there are any health issues, such as a bladder or kidney infection.
3. If Ginny's health checks out, then I'd advise contacting a qualified dog trainer who can help with Ginny's potty training.
4. Your daughter will benefit from learning how to set the rules, boundaries, and limitations Giny needs.
An insecure dog will often display submissive urination issues, the best way to work on her self-esteem is by socializing your dog. Best of luck!
Stay calm and assertive,
Cesar Millan

Debugging Flash applications with Firefox extensions
Using ExternalInterface and Firebug
Lately, the day job has had me busting booty on a Flash/ActionScript project that makes considerable use of the ExternalInterface class.
One way to do this is using the Firebug console. Set up a simple debug function embedded in your HTML or in an external JavaScript file:
function debug(data){ console.log(data); }. Then pass troubleshooting data to it using
ExternalInterface.call('debug','data you want to write'); just as you would with
I even used this technique to dump XML data to the console. Works amazingly well.
A minor drawback: compiler errors won't be written to the console. Instead you will see a generic error message, and your movie won't load.
Using Flash Tracer
For a more robust option, try Flash Tracer, a Firefox extension by Alessandro Crugnola. Flash Tracer uses native Flash logging to deliver
trace() messages directly to the browser. To use it, you'll need to install a debug version of the Flash Player.
Using LiveHTTPHeaders
Sometimes when sending and receiving data to and from a server, you can't tell what's wrong by looking at your Flash application. There could be an error in your server side code. Or perhaps there's a problem with the data you're sending. This is where LiveHTTPHeaders comes in handy.
LiveHTTPHeaders shows both browser-and-Flash request headers and server response headers. It also sends encoded GET and POST data from HTML forms or ActionScript
URLRequest() /
URLVariables() /
URLLoader() operations.
This extension won't show the actual data the server has returned. But you can use it to spot things like invisible line break characters and internal server errors.

More opinions needed
Posted on 30. Jun, 2008 by Kenny.
I'd like your opinion on this poster. It is an 11×17 inch poster. I really like the design and the simplicity of it all. I already have postcards that go into more detail. Is this enough for my poster or does it need more info? The postcard is here. Help me out here. Oh, and I have to get this off to the printer in the early afternoon, so if you have an opinion and the time, I'd appreciate it!
BTW, I'm going to post the original files for all these graphics I'm working on on the site in a few days. I can include it all except for the backgrounds that I purchased. The license states that I cannot share or give away the files, however, I will give you the link to the file I used so you can download it yourself (not very expensive anyway).… Read the rest

Training timeliness
Posted on 30. Jun, 2008 by Kenny.
The other day I wrote a post about timeliness here. Some of the comments added to the post in a way that I thought I'd write a little more. Interestingly enough, I wrote about this issue specifically about 14 months ago. Timeliness. It's something we all struggle with. Kids are late. Volunteers are late. Parents are late. What do we do?
"I'm going to train my parents to be on time."
Yeah, I've said that. Have you?
Unfortunately, I don't think its necessarily right to think of it that way. It's not my job to get parents to sign up for stuff on time. However, we all understand the value of timeliness. If we only get an hour a week with these kids, we want the full hour, right? Or when we're planning camp, it totally throws us off when 40 registrations come in a few days before we leave for camp. So, it's not really about "training our parents" but more about setting policies for the purpose of creating ministry excellence. Here are some examples:
Late registration price increases. A lot of times I'll do this for camps. Initially I did this as motivation for parents to sign up their kids on time. However, I found that it really didn't help that much. However, late registrations often cost more money. I'll usually order t-shirts by the time registration closes. I always order extra shirts because you know someone else always signs up and I'd feel horrible if 140 kids got a t-shirt and one didn't. So I order enough to handle late registrations and the price increase pays for the extra shirt. Sometimes extra supplies are needed at the last minute and we have to pay extra to get it on time, so price increases help with this.… Read the rest

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
Posted on 29. Jun, 2008 by Kenny.
Here is a link to a web site my wife came across the other day. CAUTION! Don't got there yet… let me prep you as you may not want to go there. Trust me!
My wife met someone recently who is a volunteer photographer for a foundation called "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep." I had no idea anything like this existed and it's simply powerful. Perhaps there are photographers at your church who'd be willing to volunteer for something like this. I can think of few things more touching that this.
Here's the deal. Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep is a network of volunteer photographers who go to hospitals and homes to take pictures of children who have passed away shortly after birth or are are going to die due to a complication or illness. Most of these parents will only enjoy holding their child in their arms for minutes to days and these photographers provide beautiful memories that the parents can cherish forever. These aren't morbid or disturbing photos, but beautiful and touching scenes.
I'll caution you though, viewing these photos will absolutely rip your heart out. If you're up to it, I do encourage you to visit the link, view the pictures and read the stories from these parents who lost their children. I'm not an overly emotional man, but I was fighting back the tears. Sara and I lost babies at 8 and 10 weeks. When we got pregnant with Titus, we were on pins and needles at every doctor visit. On the day of delivery, I was holding my breath. I really knew he was going to be healthy and strong, but true joy and relief came when I saw him suck in air and let out that beautiful little cry! How precious is life?… Read the rest

Dopey graphics don't cut it anymore!
Posted on 28. Jun, 2008 by Kenny.
I'd like to say that they never worked, but as a kid I was a big fan of Psalty the Singing Songbook and Charity the Church Mouse. I had the records and cassette tapes with the kiddie-dopey illustrations… and I think I loved it. Children's Pastors take notice… it's not the 80's anymore!
Always having been a young Children's Pastor, I've tired my best to create an elementary ministry that related to the kids we were trying to reach. What seemed to work for me as a 5th grader did not work for me. I remember being so frustrated with music options 8-10 years ago. I couldn't find worship songs that didn't sound like the music was recorded with toy instruments. We wore out Big House as it was the only song that I wasn't embarrassed to do with my 4th and 5th graders.
Over the years, I always tried to push the envelope on what music we'd play as kids were hanging out. In the early years of ministry, DC Talk (those kids loved Jesus Freak) and Five Iron Frenzy were winners. The WOW music videos were usually pretty good, but even in recent years I felt the need to even grab some of the edgier that really grabbed those older boys. The boy band and girl groups had nothing on the power chords of a spiky haired rock band. On occasion I'd have a parent complain that the music was a little mature. At least I knew I was pushing the envelope.
Well, I think all of this is true of the images we use as well. Whether it be a logo, a flyer or our web site. Fact is, dopey graphics don't cut it anymore. A few years ago I created a new logo for my summer camp (called Camp Extreme).… Read the rest

A new pet peeve
Posted on 27. Jun, 2008 by Kenny.
Okay, I just came across a new pet peeve of mine. I was hanging out in the check-in area on Sunday and it was about 15 minutes after the service started and I mentioned something about shutting down check-in. Someone responded that it was too early and people here are on Gateway time. That was the second time I heard that since I've been here. The last time was a few weeks ago. I was sitting in morph (a new discipleship program) and the speaker said something about only having a handful of registrations a week before, but now there were more than 60 people participating. He said something about this being the Gateway Way. All this sounded familiar.
However, I put 2 and 2 together today. I got an email from a previous co-worker at Cross Timbers. She was talking about how registrations come in slow and at the last minute. She said, "You know how it is on CT time."
You know what?I think I can even remember back to my first full time position at a church in IN. I seem to remember talking about how people arrive at the last minute or sign up for stuff late.
So, this is my pet peeve. Based on my past experience, people are late and like to wait until the last minute. Sure, not everyone is like this, but enough are. I really don't think it's that unique, based on my experience. How about you? Have you experienced this with your ministry, or is everyone always on time? I think I'm going to start standing up for this. The next time someone says that this is "Gateway time" I'm going to boldly stand and say, "No. This isn't Gateway time… it's reality. People are late here just like they are at every other church in this country (and let me tell you, go down to a church in some other countries and they'll give you some real examples of "late.")!"

Wow, everyone really is trying to embrace the culture, huh?
Posted on 26. Jun, 2008 by Kenny.
Yesterday I was doing a little research. I have a phone appointment in a week with someone who is attending our church and has left her Catholic roots. In the past, Church was always a "thing" to do…and not really enjoyed. But now she and her family look forward to coming to Gateway every week and they are growing in their relationship with Christ. She has two kids and she in a bit of a precarious spot. They know they're in the right place here at Gateway, but due to her deep rooted past, she's really nervous about not having her kids observe the sacraments (ie. Confirmation, Communion etc…). It's just that part of letting go, but still being concerned with the "what if I'm wrong… am I screwing up my kids' eternity?
So, I was doing a little research and I came across this web site.
You go St. Ignatius!
I don't know if this is an effort of the Catholic Church to better engage with what is culturally relevant, or just an opportunity for some who are Catholic that want to show their faith in a relevant way. I give them props for making the effort. If I was Catholic, I'd be all over the brown "Sacred Heart of Jesus" Tee or the "Romantic Catholic" hoodie.
Bellow are images of some of my favorites. Oh and if I saw someone wearing the St. Francis shirt with the rope around the waist, I can't say I wouldn't laugh at them. Oh, and I'm kinda cracking up at the "today I'll stay pure" shirt that is printed backwards to remind you to stay pure when you see it in the mirror.

Summer Serve
Posted on 26. Jun, 2008 by Kenny.
I'm throwing this one out to my readers. I want to find out what you do.
When coming to a new church you usually inherit a lot of stuff. You also inherit volunteer schedules and routines. At Gateway I inherited one things I really like and one thing I don't like too much. First of all, a majority of our volunteers serve every week. That's just awesome. The thing I don't like so much is that traditionally a large number of these volunteers would take the summer months off and a recruiting push would be done in May called "Summer Serve." The idea was that a new team is recruited to serve for the summer while most of the regulars took time off. The advantage was that many of those who signed up for Summer Serve would stick with it into the next year. The disadvantage, you've got a whole new team to train and enlist in ministry.
Have any of your guys experienced this? I can tell you that I don't love it. I'm all for giving my volunteers some time off. I'll give them time off whenever they need it. However, I don't see letting all my team off for 2-3 months all at the same time. I understand the "why," but I don't love it.
So, this Spring we didn't do it… kinda. Well, I actually got her too late to do an official Summer Serve push. The announcement I made last Sunday was where we would normally do a Summer Serve push (about a month late though), but instead I made it about serving on a permanent basis.
Have any of you experienced Summer Serve? Was it a really successful thing or a necessary evil?

The Holy Ghost and me
Posted on 25. Jun, 2008 by Kenny.
A few weeks ago my blogging friend Sam wrote a very intriguing post here. I was disappointed that there were only two comments… both of them mine. However, I'm pretty sure I know why no one had much to say. I think it's rare for us to link the Holy Spirit and recruiting together. It kind of was for me too.
A few weeks ago I finished writing an article on the Holy Spirit's role in recruiting. Writing this article was amazingly refreshing and a great reminder of the things I often forget or neglect. Here's all I can say. They Holy Spirit wants to help and we need to remember to let him. He proved it to me in a beautiful bit of confirmation that I'd love to tell you about.
I finished writing this article just before the weekend… about letting the Holy Spirit help in your recruitment process. After service that Sunday, my wife came up to me and said, "Remind me to tell you about the person I saw in the garage (our coffee/bookstore) today." It wasn't until later that night that I remembered to ask. She then went on to tell me about someone she saw earlier that day. There was this man who came up to the husband of my Early Childhood Director. He seemed very outgoing and fun. More importantly, he really engaged with his kids… he had them eating out of his hands, so to speak. Sara said, "you gotta get this guy on your team."
So, I then sent an email to my Early Childhood Director's husband. I prefaced the email saying, "This is a highly unusual request." I went on to tell him what Sara saw and that I'd like to connect with him if he's not serving somewhere else.… Read the rest

West Brighton Fire Department coats hang at the firehouse as Rochester firefighters, now working there, chat during a shift last year in Brighton.
- Filed Under
The West Brighton Fire Protection District's fate got muddier Tuesday night when the Henrietta Fire District withdrew its offer to assume coverage there, scuttling for the moment the best compromise the West Brighton firefighters and the town of Brighton had been able to muster.
Discussions between the West Brighton and Henrietta fire departments broke down over who would dictate how West Brighton's cash, about $350,000, would be spent once it was transferred to Henrietta. West Brighton wanted a guarantee that Henrietta would buy a truck soon and station it in West Brighton; Henrietta ...

that wow…
my 30's has been one doozy of a decade.
in the last 9 years I have…
opened a successful restaurant that was my dream job for 8+ years
closed a restaurant.
wrote not just one cookbook – but 2 quite successful kosher ones..and started work on my third!

be ones that are ALL
leading me FORWARD in the right direction!
so Happy Birthday to me….

Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes
Most years for my birthday my mother would make this strawberry shortcake. It is the best one I have ever eaten & truly the simplest of recipes to make. In Tastebuds it was on the menu from day one & we used the sponge cake part of this recipe all the time for other delicious cakes & cupcakes.
This year I am making this recipe in cupcake form for me & my Tunie B. to enjoy!!
For the sponge cake:
7 eggs separated
¼ tsp. baking powder
¼ cup oil
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 tsp. grated lemon zest
¼ cup orange juice
1 cup flour
3/4cup sugar
For the strawberry cream topping:
1 container whipping cream
1 ½ cup fresh or frozen strawberries
Confectioners' sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Separate the eggs and place in individual mixing bowls. Using a mixer, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until mixture turns creamy and lemony colored. Continue beating on low speed and add the baking powder, oil, vanilla extract and grated lemon zest until combined. Add the orange juice, a little at a time, and then the flour. Beat on low speed until just combined.
Beat the egg whites on high speed until they form stiff peaks.
Tip: You will know that your eggs whites are stiff when you dip the whisk into the egg whites and slowly pull up; the egg whites will form a peak and stay that way.
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg white batter into the egg yolk batter until just combined. DO NOT OVERMIX
Divide batter into mini cupcake holders evenly, continuing until batter is used up.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Let cakes cool completely before frosting.
In a food processor or blender, add strawberries and confectioners' sugar and blend. The amount of confectioners' sugar you add depends on the sweetness of the strawberries you use. With a mixer, whip the cream until stiff. Add the strawberry mixture and mix until the cream turns a light pink. If the cream becomes too liquidy, add more confectioners' sugar. The starch in the sugar helps absorb the liquid.
To prepare the cupcakes, using a pastry bag fitted with star tip or a knife, frost top and decorate with fresh strawberries.

It's a great way to directly support the local agriculture business in the region. Besides, this is the freshest food you'll find short of picking it yourself! I love supporting the local vendors who handcraft their own products, too (i.e., soaps, herbs, etc.). You know exactly what you're getting and where it came from.

Cock Ring Styles while you may be curious as to how a cock ring works you first need to find out which style is best for beginners with cock rings.

Strechable shaft and balls Cock Ring
This style not only increase your penis size by drawing blood into the penis but enhances your orgasms as the ring around the testicles take longer to ejaculate.
Our Rubixxx Kameleon is one of these types, requiring more effort to put on and remove, but offers increased orgasm sensations because the testicles are also constrained taking a longer time for men to ejaculate, thus making your orgasm longer in duration, and increased intensity.

Research Analysis
Author and homeschool researcher Milton Gaither writes: "This new study tries very hard to overcome one of the most persistent deficiencies of his [Brian Ray's] previous work (and the 1999 Rudner study)–the near exclusive reliance on HSLDA's advertisement to recruit subjects, leading to unrepresentative samples. This time around Ray tried to recruit families from outside of the HSLDA orbit. Did he succeed? Not really."

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Ive tried installing the 4.4.2 ROM Achidroid N7000 on my phone using TWRP but it skipped the MD5 check and said "Installation failed/aborted....". I then tried an AOSP 4.4.2 ROM but it said the same error message. After that, I gave up and tried to use the phone. When it booted up, it froze on the Samsung logo and wouldnt boot up completely. Ive tried doing a FDR through the custom recoveries but still the same thing happens. I really dont know what to do. I have an i9300 under 4.3.

Carroll County Commissioners inked an agreement Thursday with Radius Hospitality Management of Canton to renovate, operate and develop Atwwod Lake Resort & Conference Center.
Carroll County Commissioners on Thursday signed a long-expected agreement with Radius Hospitality Management of Canton to work together to renovate, operate and develop Atwood Lake Resort & Conference Center, its golf courses and the remainder of the 500-acre property.
Commissioners had been working on the five-year management agreement for months.
"We wanted to make sure it was right," said Commissioner Tom Wheaton.
"It's great to have a lease in place with the correct checks and balances, not only for the county but for Radius Hospitality as well," said Commission President Jeff Ohler.
"Our ultimate goal of bringing back jobs to the lodge and creating additional revenue for those businesses that are in close proximity is within sight," Ohler said.
The agreement requires county commissioners to pay for all repairs, replacements and improvements required to reopen the lodge. That includes the purchase of initial inventory and supplies.
For now, those funds will be taken from the capital improvement fund. But the county is expecting to use $1.2 million it receives from an gas-and-oil lease signing bonus. Timing of that income stream isn't yet known.
Ohler said taxpayers will not be responsible for the Atwood project.
An agreement was signed in June with Sierra Buckeye for mineral rights to the 500-acre property surrounding the lodge.
When drilling begins, commissioners will receive $2.25 million in the first phase of the contract. The agreement includes a no-drill clause for the lodge property worth $1,500 per acre, or a total payment of $750,000 if no drilling is done.
If the lease agreement is renewed after three years, the county could receive an additional $3 million for those oil and gas rights.
The February agreement transferring ownership of the property from the Muskingum Watershed Conservation District specified that all funds received by Carroll County for mineral rights must be reinvested into the 500-acre property, which includes the golf courses.
The 36-page agreement allows the county to receive a percentage of the room rental from the lodge after receipts exceed $1.75 million per year.
• From $1.75 million to $2.5 million per year, the county will receive 3 percent of the annual room revenue.
• From $2,500,001 to $3.5 million, the county will receive 4 percent of annual room revenue and 5 percent of net operating income for the lease year.
• When rental receipts exceed $3.5 million, the county will receive 5 percent of annual room revenue and 5 percent of net operating income for the lease year.
The lodge was closed in 2010 after MWCD officials claimed the property was losing more than $159,000 per year since it opening in 1965. It was reported the lodge lost more than $1 million in its final two years of operation.
However, Radius president Scott Yaeger said he hopes to have the lodge open by Oct. 1.
Page 2 of 2 - Commissioners and Radius plan to have the par-3 and 9-hole golf courses open this fall. Re-opening of the 18-hole golf course is expected to take considerably longer.
On May 11, Yaeger outlined the company's vision to expand and renovate the lodge, including:
• The possibility of an indoor water park.
• Renovation of The Chalet restaurant.
• Renovation of the par-71 championship golf course, including a new irrigation system and seven new holes.
• Installation of lighting and renovations for the new par-3 golf course .
• Development of tennis, basketball and boccie courts; disc golf; a sledding hill; ice skating rink; paintball area; archery; skeet shooting; and hiking and mountain bike trails.
• Eventually doubling or even tripling the current number (104) of guest rooms.
• Future plans such as 25 to 40 new cabin or villa units.
Radius and commissioners are working with representatives of Kent State University at Tuscarawas for the university to offer instruction at the lodge on golf-course maintenance, hospitality, horticulture and other areas of classroom instruction.
Oil and gas companies have already contacted Radius regarding the rental of blocks of rooms for their employees already working in the county.
Yaeger had said getting the rooms filled is a priority in getting the lodge open.

I am so disappointed in the Detroit Free Press' failure to endorse Proposal 2. Michigan's working families are under attack by corporate special interests, and the Free Press is standing mute as it happens.
I cannot understand how a decision like this can be made without all the facts. Collective bargaining gives firefighters, police officers and nurses a voice to ensure that there is adequate staffing to keep our communities safe.
Proposal 2 gives Michigan's working families a voice to negotiate for fair wages, benefits and safer working conditions that are good for us all.
Margaritte Thomas
Don't believe the lies
It is unbelievable that your paper would reinforce the lies about child safety as part of its recommendation for a "no" vote on Proposal 2. Federal and state criminal laws require background checks for teachers and other school officials, and those laws are not subject to bargaining. Licensing requirements for police and other public safety officers also fall outside of the collective bargaining process.
This proposal is about men and women having the right to collectively bargain a fair living wage and not give up those rights by the swipe of a pen in Lansing.
Robert J. Wells
Appropriate for the state Constitution
There are so many scary comments about Proposal 2, one would think the world is going to end if all workers have the right to collectively bargain wages, benefits and working conditions. Look at the historical record: Unions and collective bargaining built the middle class. That is not union rhetoric; it is fact. Take it away and watch all workers slide further into poverty and worsening working conditions.
The Constitution wasn't carved in stone and carried down from the mountain. It is a living document. People have the right to petition, and the world won't end if Proposal 2 passes. It doesn't radically alter the document.
Jeff Leonhardt
Traverse City
What Prop 2 protects
I have been a teacher for more than 20 years. My profession demands top-notch education and continuous professional development. I welcome that, because I want to continue to improve as an educator.
Collective bargaining in our district ensures that your child will not have more than 35 students in a middle-school classroom. It ensures that your children will be in a safe environment and have experts choose the curriculum.
Michigan's governor claims not to be against unions, but he doesn't have to be against us. All he has to do is not give a school district enough money to pay its teachers and he will drive it into the red. His emergency manager law allows his EM to terminate contracts with our union and our school board.
Kathy Fox
Not another Wisconsin
Your decision to tell readers to vote "no" on Proposal 2 is wrong.
Lansing politicians are rolling back current laws that protect wages, hours and safe working conditions. We should not wait until our rights are completely gone before we protect them. Proposal 2 will protect working people from the attacks by right-wing extremists who are more interested in protecting big business.
I urge Michigan citizens to vote "yes" on Proposal 2. We will not be the next Wisconsin!

Parent Mentor Program
Who can apply for a TACA Parent Mentor?:
- Custodial and primary caregiver of a child diagnosed with Autism, Aspergers or PDDNOS
- Child must either live with you, or you must be their conservator
- Must live in the United States
How is the TACA Mentor Program Unique?
Frequently Asked Questions About the Program
Read the TACA Guidelines for Parent Mentors
Contact the TACA Parent Mentor Program Coordinator
The TACA Mentor program is not merely a listing of well-meaning parents but a fully developed, managed program offering experienced, trained, supported, qualified Mentors to guide new parents on the Autism Journey. Our program is unique in the autism community and supports our mission: For families who have just received the autism diagnosis, TACA aims to speed up the cycle time from the autism diagnosis to effective treatments.
Screening – All Mentors are screened and trained before acceptance into the Mentor program. TACA Mentors must meet criteria in 14 categories to be accepted into the program.
Experience – TACA Mentors are volunteer parents who have been doing Medical interventions for a minimum of two years and have experience in all other aspects of the autism journey that our Mentees ask for. The TACA Mentor program began in 2003 and has served over 900 families in 6 languages.
Training – All TACA Mentors must go through a mandatory training before being matched with a new family. TACA also offers monthly trainings that cover new therapies, treatments or other relevant topics to help keep TACA Mentors up to date and informed on subjects that they may not have dealt with in regards to their own child. TACA also offers opportunities for our Mentors to work at local and national conferences and events.
Support – TACA has many tools to help support our TACA Mentors such as:
- Yahoo! Group dedicated to supporting Mentors-only
- Yahoo! Group to help Mentees get connected to the community and get varied feedback
- Ongoing Mentor trainings
- Same-day email support
- Call-in hotline for urgent help
- TACA's Live Chat
- TACA's thorough website
- Printed Autism Journey Guide
- TACA's Autism Journey Blueprints (included in the Autism Journey Guide)
- E-newsletters
- Monthly meetings in 27 locations
- Coffee Talk meetings in 18 locations
- Our website and Autism Journey Guide in Spanish.
Legal protection – TACA offers all Mentors legal protection through our legally binding, insurance coverage agreement that all Mentees must sign before being accepted into the program.
Targeted Mentor Matches – Mentees and Mentors are matched on many possible criteria, such as locality, language spoken, therapies, specific medical issues or treatment, age and much more, depending on what the Mentee family needs.
We believe that families need Mentors who have been down the 'road of hard knocks' and have already gotten their kids into a good place before helping new families. This means the Mentors have learned how to find resources, learned the basic laws, how to advocate, and can walk parents through the diet and Medical treatment basics. This experience is very important to a good Mentor and we believe new parents deserve, and need, trained, supported and experienced Mentors to guide them properly and safely.
1. What is a parent mentor?
Answer: A parent mentor is a parent with two or more years of personal experience on the autism journey. Mentors provide general advice and assistance to new families with regards to medical treatment, diet, education, and community resources.
2. What does a parent mentor provide?
Answer: Parent mentors provide general support for newly diagnosed families. Read the TACA Guidelines for Parent Mentors.
3. Does a parent mentor get paid to help?
Answer: NO. These parent mentors are volunteers and parents just like you. They are not paid for their services and genuinely want to help by volunteering their time. They know how it feels to have a child diagnosed with autism – the frustration of learning the "system" and the desire to help their child be the best they can. Because of this experience, they want to share what they know with other families to help them get a jump start on the process.
4. How does a parent mentor get trained?
Answer: Most parent mentors are trained by the "road of hard knocks" by experiencing autism with their child and learning life lessons along the way. TACA provides regular parent mentor trainings to improve the knowledge base for our mentors, provide quality control, and ensure consistency in the support model and information delivery.
5. How do I sign up to RECEIVE a parent mentor?
Answer: To receive a parent mentor – new families are required to:
- Watch the webinar about the mentor program here: www.tacanow.org/about-taca/programs-services/for-mentees
- Fill out the online application form (password for the form will be provided when you complete the webinar)
Note: Sorry, we cannot assign a parent mentor until the webinar is viewed and the online application form is completed and signed electronically. A valid email address is REQUIRED in order for Mentees to be matched to a Mentor.
6. How do I sign up to BECOME a parent mentor?
Answer: Due to the overwhelming response to the TACA Parent Mentor Program, more parent mentors are needed!! Please apply online by completing the online Parent Mentor Application. Thank you for considering becoming a parent mentor to a newly diagnosed family in need!
7. How many TACA parent mentors exist?
Answer: Currently there are more than 200 parent mentors across the nation. We try to offer a parent mentor that lives near you. Sometimes this is not possible. We will try our best to offer a mentor as close to your home as possible.
8. WHERE do these parent mentors live and help new families?
Answer: Currently we only have mentors in the United States. We do not have any Mentors in the US Territories of Puerto Rico or Guam at this time. Please do not apply for a Mentor if you live outside the 50 US states.
9. Once I fill out my mentor agreement how long will it take to get my parent mentor assigned to me?
Answer: Typically this process takes less than two weeks. Once you have viewed the webinar, completed the online application form and a parent mentor is identified we will notify you via email only. Sometimes there are delays in this process and we will do our best to assign a mentor as soon as possible and as volunteer mentors are available.
10. How do I communicate with my parent mentor?
Answer: Parent mentor introductions are done first via email. It is up to the parties if they wish to communicate beyond email via phone or in person. We always suggest that families first make the introduction via email.
11. What can I do to hit the ground running once I get my new parent mentor?
Answer: That is easy! Make your question list! Just jot down your questions and concerns as it relates to your child. See a sample check list.
12. Anything else?
Be sure to attend regularly scheduled TACA meetings in your area! There is always new information to learn and share. These meetings are a great place for you to exchange information with many TACA friends and families. Please join us.

Refunds - Parent Plus
Overpayment refunds are not released until at minimum three (3) days after the conclusion of the drop/add period for the term or session and only once the account is actually overpaid with disbursed funds. Please plan accordingly for expenses, such as books, at the beginning of the term or session.
What is a Parent Plus Loan?
Parent Plus Loans are loans a parent can take that are used to help pay a student's expenses at Kutztown University. These loans are applied for at www.studentloans.gov by the parent. The parent upon approval would need to sign a Master Promissory Note (MPN) with their FAFSA (US Dept of Ed) pin # (not the student's). The loan repayment is the responsibility of the parent.
Who gets refunds on the students account?
When a students account is overpaid, a refund is issued (no sooner than three {3} days after the conclusion of drop/add). If the overpayment is caused by:
- Aid in the student's name, the refund is released to the student (following the Golden Bear Debit Card refund program and preferences).
- The disbursement of the Parent Plus loan - the refund must go to the parent who took the loan. Parent Plus refunds are currently only issued as a paper check, and mailed to the parent's address.
Additionally, a parent at the point of application can designate if refunds should go to the student OR the parent. That selection will be processed by Financial Aid and entered into the system to refund accordingly.
Can I give permission to have a Parent Plus refund released to my son/daughter?
Yes. A parent has the right to request Kutztown University to release this refund to the student instead. This release form must be completed, and returned, prior to the disbursement of the Parent Plus loan to guarantee the processing of the refund to the student. If received after the disbursement, but prior to the refund, we will do our best. Once a refund is processed it cannot be reversed and re-issued. Submission instructions are on the form.
We would recommend the Parent Plus release form be used, if the parent elected the refund to go to the parent, and changed their mind after the loan application.
Is there a benefit to refunding the student or parent?
This certainly depends on many factors. How quickly do you need the funds? Are they for rent in an off campus situation? Is it just reimbursement to yourself for book expenses? You need to evaluate the needs and urgency on funding.
Remember, parent refunds are paper checks that are are mailed the parent who took the loan, and their address on the loan application. Student refunds however, have 3 choices, 2 of which may be more quickly received. Students have the option of Direct Deposit to a checking or savings account, they can use the One Account with Higher One (a FDIC insured bank account) using the Golden Bear Debit Card for access, or they too can choose a paper check.
If youare not sure about the best choice for your family and its needs, do feel free to contact us to discuss the options in more depth. We are glad to help and offer choices!
