Interview with Jeanette DePatie
(See end of posting for a special endorsement from Anne Kelly, President of Junonia)
Junonia: How did you come to write a book called The Fat Chick Works Out?
Jeanette: Let me give you a little background about me. I was very obsessed about my weight. Even though my husband always said I was OK, I couldn't accept it. So I went to the library to look for yet another weight-loss book and I ran across some books about size acceptance. I discovered that my chances of being and staying very thin were about 15%. I said to myself, if I tie my happiness to this idea that my body must be a certain size, then I'm giving myself only a 15% chance at happiness. Those odds suck! I wouldn't bet on a horse with those odds!
Junonia: So what did you do about your own happiness?
Jeanette: I became convinced that WHAT you do with your body is much more important than the number on a scale. What you feed your body, how you exercise, play, sleep, love, and find joy in your life—those are important.
I have always loved exercise, so I started to research the idea of teaching exercise to people of all sizes. And I became an aerobics instructor. I love teaching. But I wrote the book because I wanted to make my style of teaching available to more than the few people I directly teach.
And now Junonia is carrying the book and the DVDs!
Junonia: Let's go back to the title, The Fat Chick Works Out, how did you choose that?
I don't like to use the term overweight--I prefer the term fat. It's a descriptor like blond hair or blue eyes. When I talk to kids, I teach them about that word –and that is really powerful. A kid will say, you're fat, and I say, yes I'm fat, and you have brown hair. Isn't it great that we're all different. That's why I called my book The Fat Chick Works Out! I don't like euphemisms, because I find it's a way of apologizing for my size. Fat is just the way I am. Not everybody resonates with it, but a lot more people do than I expected.
Junonia: Tell us about becoming a certified trainer and what you have learned.
There is no special certification for exercise for fat people. However, there are some key things to look for if you are older, heavier, or just starting out.
First, it has to be fun. If you aren't eager to go back and try it again, look for some other form of exercise.It should be a non-competitive environment where you feel safe doing things your way. If you don't feel you can modify, or if the teacher isn't super excited about helping you, find somewhere else to work out.
Remember, you have to start where you are. Add 10% a week. A lot of people hear that and are discouraged. They feel 10% will take forever. But they need to understand that it is cumulative. When I started training seriously for a marathon, I could do 5-6 miles walking and running, at a time. It took me a whole year to train up to do a marathon. 10% adds up! There is chart in the book that shows you that if you can do 20 minutes now, you could be doing a lot of exercise at the end of the year! And by ramping up slowly, you won't be on crutches.
Here's another great tip: D.I.F. That stands for duration, intensity, and frequency. The 10% rule can apply to any of them – but only change ONE of those things at a time.
Junonia: What do you recommend people wear?
I am not a fashion expert. I tell beginner to just wear comfortable pants and shoes that fit well. A t-shirt from Wal-Mart will work. As you work out more, there are some options out there,. Junonia has the most selection, most sizes and more technical clothes for the widest variety of sports. I've been a customer for years. As an instructor it is very important to have the right clothes to convey a professional appearance. I gave Junonia a shout out on a slide show I did for CBS on 15 tips for fat exercisers. Click here for Junonia's collection of workout gear for the gym.
Junonia: OK here's the basic question: Why should anyone, and especially fat women exercise?
My youngest student is 8, oldest is 82. I have watched the difference it makes in people's lives. A lot of people talk about the long-term effects, and those are important, but there is also the instant gratification part. You start felling better from the first day or two you start to exercise. When you feel better, your life works better. Women feel better about themselves, their lives, they improve flexibility, and sleep better.
Junonia: What is your advice on getting started?
I always tell my students the hardest dance step in any aerobics class is the "walk in the door" step. Don't worry about what anyone else is thinking about you--only worry about what you are thinking about you. That's where you get your power. If buying beautiful workout clothes makes you feel great, you rock and roll. Go with whatever works for you.
Junonia: Let's go back to the Fat Chick Title, where did it come from?
One day I woke up and I decided I was The Fat Chick. I gave myself that name and that title is my power and my choice. The reaction from other people—I can't control it, so why try? It really has given me a lot of joy. Sometimes I get rather amazing looks at fitness conventions – I just did one in Beverly Hills, and there is a lot of botox and a lot of silicone and a lot of people looking at me funny. People are a little unsure, but I find the more that I keep a sense a humor, stay positive and own it--the more people gravitate to what I am saying.
I grew up in Wisconsin, I'm just a Midwestern girl at heart. There are a lot of people out there like me. As group we can decide we are OK and not waste money on things that make us feel bad about ourselves, but spend money on things that make us feel great, powerful and part of the world.
From Anne:
I interviewed Jeannette before I read her book. I was impressed talking with her, but after reading the book I'm a total fan. I devoured the book, reading it straight through! It is simply great. Designed as a 12-week guide to action, it is filled with completely solid information you can trust. It's not just the information you'll love. It is funny, well-written, and Jeanette absolutely nails how it is to be a larger woman trying to get active. She just keeps zinging you with her understanding, her joy, and she makes it just impossible to say no. I promise you will want to buy extra copies for friends, because you'll want to keep one for yourself! You'll keep coming back to it for practical advice and inspiration over and over. With Jeanette you will be safe, injury-free, and you will enjoy the journey. In fact, read the whole book. If you don't like it, return it for a full refund.
When (not if) you use this book to set and achieve one of the goals you've always intended to accomplish, I'd like to celebrate that with you and our readers. I know with Jeanette at your side (and in your face making you laugh) you'll achieve even more than you dreamed possible. Keep me posted! Anne

Get Hiking with Some Inspiration from Anna Huthmaker Creator of TrailDames.com
I just had the greatest conversation with one of the most inspiring people I've ever met. And I want you to meet her too! Her name is Anna Huthmaker, cellist, bow maker, hiker, and one of the bravest women I've even encountered. Her favorite definition of bravery is attributed to Roy Rogers who said that being brave wasn't about being un-afraid…it is about being scared and doing it anyway. Be sure to check out her blog and the organization she has created, dedicated to encouraging women hikers, especially "curvy hikers" at www.Traildames.org
She challenged her own sense of bravery by hiking 700 miles of the Appalachian Trail. She prepared for three years, and took 6 months away from her family's violin shop business in Duluth, Georgia, to achieve her dream. Shortly into her long-planned hike, she broke her foot in two places and had to spend eight weeks in a wheel chair. That wasn't enough to stop Anna. She shopped around until the third doctor told her she could get back on the trail. (Anna had taken the time off, rented out her place, and thought, if not now, when?) At 260 lbs and 5 ft tall, carrying a 30 pound pack, Anna wasn't the fastest person on the trail. Her hiking/camping companion, a marathon runner, would often be ahead of her. But Anna loved hiking alone, especially on a beautiful day, and never felt afraid on the trail. She put in an average of 10 miles a day.
She'll never forget the segment in the White Mountains of New Hampshire where she hiked for 8 hours to cover 2.5 miles. "That was hard." After finally making it to the shelter, she knew she had a hard decision to make. She left the trail the next day, taking a side path down to a highway, where she caught a ride into town. She cried that night as she lay in the hotel. "Until then I had always believed that if I willed it, my body would follow. It was a hard lesson to learn that no matter how strong my will, there were some things my body just couldn't do." Since she had promised her mom not to do anything really dangerous, she knew that that particular part of the trail wasn't a safe choice for her. Since she had always planned to be a "section" hiker, knowing that her speed and injuries would keep her from finishing the trail in one season as a 'thru-hiker', Anna found her sense of trail ethics was intact, and she skipped forward to another segment and just kept on hiking! "That is the great thing about hiking," she said, "if one mountain chews you up and spits you out, you just find yourself another mountain. " "There is too much beauty out there to let the hard stuff scare you away from it".
Her Appalachian Trail experience sort of "cracked open" her life. She asked her dad about what he thought about her volunteering for a month with kids in Africa, and he said, "If you can do what you did on the Appalachian Trail, I'm not worried, you can do anything!" So she did. She made friends who took her hiking in places where they needed a guide with a gun (it looked like something from the Civil War.) They walked past giraffe and herds of water buffalo, losing her shoes in a swamp as they skirted a dangerous solo water buffalo. She laughed, saying that it was 'sort of appropriate'. Her trail name is Mud Butt due to her innate talent for finding any muddy spot and falling in it. So the fact that she was floundering around in the mud in Africa was completely apropos.
From there she followed her dream to see the northern lights in the Arctic Circle, landing in a bush plane 1.5 hours from any road. Anna believes that there is so much goodness in the world, that when we can't absorb anymore, it all comes out in the Northern Lights. "They were amazing. We also dog sledded, rode snowmobiles, and stayed up all night with our small group of adventure travelers watching for the northern lights. I literally saw the night sky turn into a cathedral. It was totally worth the nerve-wracking plane ride and the 30-below temperatures!". Of course, it wasn't all romantic perfection. " I fell off the snowmobile….. three times. I'm not very coordinated!"
The Inca Trail of Peru was next for Anna. "It was the toughest hike of my life. Although the Appalachian Trail was hard, these were big mountains. Really big mountains. One day I hiked for 5 hours straight uphill with no stops. But it was gorgeous!" Thankfully, the government requires that all hikes be guided and camp each day was prepared by porters. Anna often hiked from 7:30 am until as late at 9:30 p.m. "It really threw the guides into a tizzy….technically all hikers have to be in camp by 5:00. But given my speed, there was no way that was going to happen! I would arrive at lunch two hours later than everyone else, eat something quickly and just keep moving. It was physically exhausting, but I am one of the few people that have been lucky enough to actually hike the Incan Trail under the light of a full moon. That kind of makes up for everything, don't you think?"
So what has Anna done lately? Three years ago she began Trail Dames, a hiking club for women of a curvy nature. "There wasn't an organization specifically for women. An organization to encourage them to get out, enjoy the outdoors and to hike." She called a meeting and decided that if three strangers showed up it would be a success. She knew her friends and family would support her, but she wanted to know if there were more women out there, especially curvy women. Nine strangers came to that first meeting, and the organization was off and hiking. "I think I knew early on that there was a possibility that I was on to something big, but the growth of the organization has been so organic that it just has felt right. Everything has been word of mouth and before I knew it, we had two thousand members and seven chapters!"
Her courage extends from hiking, to starting an organization. "Google is my friend. I didn't know how to set up a website, but in two hours, I had a website up and running – and I'm a complete non-techie. I spent the next four years asking for advice and flying by the seat of my pants. It has ended up being a much huger job than I anticipated, but the rewards have been much, much greater than I ever dreamed. And the true beauty of the group is that we have all done it together. The Dames support each other, help each other and celebrate together when we finish a hike. When I see a woman grinning and sweating and hugging their new friends on top of a mountain, I feel so proud of what we have all accomplished together."
Each year on the "birthday" of Trail Dames, an intrepid group of both new and seasoned hikers arrive at the remote start of the Appalachian Trail to hike the one mile up Springer Mountain. This year over 25 women made the hike, and at the top, they did the group's traditional "Dance of the Real Woman" to celebrate. "Sometimes they laugh and roll their eyes at me, but I know the power of celebrating your accomplishments! There are a lot of women out there who either feel like they can't climb a mountain, or truly can't. For that reason, we must never forget to celebrate what we have done. And hopefully, in our celebration, we will encourage those other women to come join us." On this spring day on top of Springer Mountain, there is a lot of celebrating going on. And lots of celebration of the simple joy of being on the mountain top, with a supportive group of women. As Anna says, "we don't often see wildlife on these hikes--we are talking and laughing too much! We ARE the wild life!!"
Next up, Anna used her newly honed Google skills to look up "how to run a conference" . There has never been a women's hiking and backpacking conference and who better to host it than the Trail Dames? This summer's Summit will be chock full of amazing speakers, documentaries and workshops. "We want to spread the joy of Trail Dames and a woman's hiking even further". The future holds a lot of wonder for Anna and her Trail Dames. She is in the process of registering Trail Dames as a fully charitable organization, and is working hard to spread Trail Dames chapters all over the U.S. "I want to do what Junonia has been doing for so many years – tell all women, no matter their size, that they can do it, they can achieve their dreams.
Anna, keep us posted on your next adventure!

QuikJersey Review
When the weather gets colder in the fall, it gets harder and harder to get motivated to take that walk first thing in the morning. I just want to pull the covers up, and snuggle in for an extra half hour of sleep.
It helps knowing that once I'm up, I can jump into my QuikJersey legging and jacket. The inside is brushed soft like a fleece blanket, so I know I won't feel that shock of the morning air once I am out of the house.
The other great thing is that when I get going on my walk, generating some of my own heat, this fabric will wick away any perspiration, so I won't feel clammy.
I also like the fact that this jacket looks great with my black jeans.

It Starts with Fiber!
It starts with the Fiber!
I've got a fascination with fiber animals lately. (You've probably noticed that Junonia always has wonderful fabrics, and that's because we know it starts with great fiber.) So last weekend I went out to the Shepherd's Harvest Festival here in Minnesota. Susan Noble our Director of Merchandise came with me and we had a blast. While Susan was picking up creative ideas from all the knitters, weavers, spinners and felters who were exhibiting there, I headed right to the animals.
Fun Animal Fiber Facts:
- Did you know that Lllama and Alpaca fibers are hollow inside making them much warmer and lighter than wool?
- Did you know that wool is naturally rain resistant because of the lanolin in it? That's why unprocessed wool makes your hands so soft. However, most wool has the lanolin washed out before it is made into fiber.
- Did you know the wool from each breed of sheep feels different and has different characteristics such as kinkiness (a natural springiness) or length, resulting in smoother or rougher feeling fiber?
- Did you know cashmere comes from the undercoat of goats?
- Did you know mohair comes from angora goats?
- Did you know angora comes from Rabbits? They were SO cute! But I remain confused as to why there are both angora goats and angora rabbits – although I think it comes from their common Turkish roots.
Picture: Here's Anne in a favorite old Junonia style from MMac petting a sheep. This beautiful sheep was so friendly. He was happy to have his picture taken with everyone. His owners are two young farmers getting into specialty farming.

Learning to Kayak
This was my second visit to Summer Sun Winter Moon for kayaking. Four of us girlfriends carpooled up north for this adventure. It was so much more relaxing this time, simply because my friend Katy and I had done it before. I love how Kathleen Anderson, the owner of the facility, makes sure that everyone is fully trained in all the safety procedures and is completely comfortable at each step. For a wimp like me, that makes all the difference between being stressed out and having fun.
This time I had two new experiences. It was my first time paddling and steering a tandem kayak and I really liked it! It was not much longer than a single, and was surprisingly easy to steer, especially with the rudder on the flat water kayaks we were using. It felt very stable. Kathleen pointed out that you can buy one tandem for less than two doubles. It is a lot heavier to put up on a car, but then, there are always two people around to help!
The other new experience was rolling out of a kayak. Even though it was on purpose, I was really nervous. But Kathleen was right. You just pop right up with the lifejacket doing all the work. The hard part was hoisting myself back up on the kayak, but with Kathleen coaching from another kayak, that went well, too. I now feel much more prepared to go out with friends, without a coach.
Kayaking is really enjoyable. It's so quiet and peaceful. It would be hard to carry all the camping stuff you can load into a canoe, but if you are a minimalist, it is certainly possible. The paddling motion is easy on the joints, and having someone show you how to be efficient really helps. You both pull and push at the same time, so it is a very balanced feel.
We had perfect weather, and of course I was perfectly dressed in my quick-drying QuikWik Capri's. CLICK HERE TO SEE ALL OUR QUIKWIK ITEMS. Other memories: The Milky Way above and stars down to the horizon, s'mores around the campfire, our cute off-the-grid solar powered cabin and sweet little outhouse, the sound of a wolf howling in the night followed by the chorus of her 40 sled dogs, a real Finnish sauna after a not-so-hard day's paddle, walking the sled dogs in the morning, picking wild raspberries, seeing eagles, lovely food, interesting conversation, great friends. Perfect. Check it out. www.summersunwintermoon.com

Photoshop? Something seems off here.
The word you're looking for is "titlessness."
Nice stomach cellulite
This is a tatoo artist's wet dream. A perfectly smooth, white canvas that has never felt the touch of needle and ink.
Maybe hippie sperm, but not needles or ink.
Is it statuary rape if there's no tits and the short shorts are already open for an assault?
It's not statutory rape if she's 21. That's her age—not to be confused with the casino game that could be dealt on her torso.
doh, she forgot her boobs home :(
This is one of those festivals that needs to consider a dress code.
"Please DO NOT dress like an idiot. Thank you!"
Nice bead curtains. Your shirt is interesting too.
Who knew that flat chests could sag so low?
The chick behind her is the party. Guaranteed.
is this the universal sign for 'Open for Business. For Anyone"?
Wow, absolutely no tits, huh? She must save a ton of money on bras.
Somewhere there's a milk carton with a picture of her tits on it…

First let me start by saying I know nothing off horses, but I am a dog behaviorist and trainer and I find all training of any animal fascinating. Lately I�ve been trying to prove my case to people about more ethical ways to rid nuisance barking in dogs. From what I understand back in the day it was a common practice to break in a horses, now looking back many people agree that this method for training a horses is now wrong and there are for more appropriate means to train a horses. (if I�m putting my foot in my mouth with this one let me know)� anyway I was just curious on how training horses has evolved over the past hundred year??? (books, resources, links are all helpful) I�m hoping to use this information to prove a point, that just because something has been done a certain way for years doesn�t mean that there isn�t a better method available and a change can be made.
Thanks for the help

E-book details Wecht cases, including 2 from Western Pennsylvania
Dawna Kaufmann, a self-described true-crime junkie, remembers channel-surfing at home in Los Angeles and becoming enthralled by "Dear Zachary," a documentary on the bizarre tale of a California native killed by a spurned lover in a Pennsylvania park.
When Kaufmann saw that Dr. Andrew Bagby was a resident at Latrobe Area Hospital when he was killed in Keystone State Park in Westmoreland County, she immediately telephoned Dr. Cyril Wecht, a forensic pathologist in Pittsburgh and her co-author on two crime-related books.
"I told him we've got to do something on that one," Kaufmann said.
The story is told in "Final Exams: True Crime Cases from Cyril Wecht," an e-book published by Planet Ann Rule that details four "twisty mysteries."
Kaufmann, a former comedy writer with Saturday Night Live, MADtv and The Arsenio Hall Show, said Wecht has a "wonderful gift" of reducing scientific, technical jargon into layman's term.
"Hell Hath No Fury ..." recounts the murder of Bagby, whose body was found on Nov. 6, 2001. Wecht figured there would soon be a trial for the accused killer, a physician who was working in Iowa.
But Dr. Shirley Turner fled to Canada and used its laws to thwart extradition, especially when she revealed she was pregnant with the victim's son.
Wecht describes the brutality of the murder: "Dr. Bagby's killer was at least 18 inches from him when he was first shot. The bullets hit his chest and face in rapid succession, although it's impossible to know which came first."
The killer shot Bagby five times and then kicked him in the head while he laid on the ground, Wecht would have testified. "I would also, in no uncertain terms, discuss the purposeful way the killer fired again and again and again and again and again, and cite my theory of how the forceful head blow could not have been attained in any innocent fashion. This was a cold-blooded attack and the victim needed justice," he said.
Turner thought she covered her tracks, Wecht said. She shot Bagby and immediately drove almost 1,000 miles to her home in Iowa. Police traced her movements by tracking her cellphone's signal.
Kate and David Bagby, deprived of their only child, were forced to deal with their son's murderer if they wanted to see their only grandchild. Canada officials gave Turner custody of baby Zachary.
When readers think it can't get worse, it does, Kaufman wrote. Turner, on the verge of being forced to face trial and cast aside by another man, drugged the baby, strapped him to her chest and jumped into the Atlantic Ocean, killing them both.
"That Bagby death was indeed an incredible tragedy, especially with the death of that baby. It was just horrible," Wecht recalled.
The Yelenic case
The book also details another murder in Western Pennsylvania.
"A Cousin's Quest" describes the struggle of Mary Ann Clark of Blairsville to see her beloved cousin's killer put behind bars. It describes the murder of affable dentist John J. Yelenic Jr. and the trial of his killer, former state police trooper Kevin Foley.
It delves into Yelenic's nasty divorce proceedings with Michele Yelenic, who later moved in with Foley, and their court fights over insurance, property and child custody.
Wecht testified against Foley during a 2009 trial. He is now serving a sentence of life in prison.
Yelenic suffered slashing wounds, most likely caused by the blade of a knife, before his head was forced through a window pane in the front door of his Blairsville home on April 13, 2006, Wecht told jurors.
"It was a carving. Not to be insensitive, but that's what you'd have to be doing to inflict those types of wounds to the chest, ear and cheek," Wecht testified.
Yelenic probably lived six to seven minutes after glass cut his right jugular vein, Wecht told jurors.
Wecht said he was impressed by Clark's persistence in avenging her cousin's murder, the work of Deputy Attorney General Anthony Krastek and the investigators to prosecute the case, and the DNA experts who tied Foley to the slaying.
"You know they had a damn good idea who was behind it early on. They first go to the spouse or girlfriend, and the job (Pittsburgh DNA expert) Mark Perlin did was really impressive," Wecht said.
"The Willing Victim" describes Wecht's work on the case of successful Manhattan motivational guru Jeffrey B. Locker, who induced an inner-city stranger named Kenneth Minor into killing him. "The Girl in the Pink Hat" tells the story of Jessica Lunsford, a 9-year-old girl from Florida who was kidnapped and murdered by a predator.
Kaufmann said she is amazed at Wecht's career of more than five decades, personally performing more than 18,000 autopsies and consulting worldwide on more than 38,000 others.
"He's the smartest and most decent person I know. He genuinely cares about people and their lives," Kaufmann said. "He keeps so busy, he makes everyone else seem as if they're standing still."

I bought this collection last year and they reached 4ft and flowered prolifically and the scent was amazing. This year they are almost 6ft tall and just come in to flower and are looking amazing again, highly recommended

music to my ears ... I want chicks too and this sounds like the perfect companion ...
By Matthew Deakins-Woodward 29-04-2012
I bought these along with the other tree lily collection in February 2012, planted them in March and all bulbs have come up and some are already 3 ft tall. I can't wait until the summer. Mix them with other lily specimens and other tall plants I have mine mixed with delphinium to support each other
By Charles Rickwood 03-11-2011
Bought tree lillies a few years ago and I am still amazed with them. Those pesky lilly beetles find the leaves too tough so there are very few holes in the leaves. Be careful where you site them. I had three in a tub under an open window of our conservatory, the scent was on occasions very overpowering. (Tip) Give them a dose of chicken poo, dug in around the shoot when it first shows, they love it
Thank you for your comments. Our horticultural expert would advise to take caution when using poultry manure as this is high in nitrogen and it can encourage excess green leafy growth and sacrifise blooms.
By Gina Moorjani 28-08-2011
These tree lilies are something special, wonderful scent that filled my whole house with perfume for at least 7 days, sadly I cut them due to the winds. Going to buy some for my mum as they are very special just like her. I love lilies and have many different types in the garden these are amongst my favorites.
By Paul Gough 27-07-2011
The lilies are now in full bloom with 5 or 6 flowers per per stem and the scent is amazing, the petals are clear of any blemishes.
By Valerie Hellard 06-07-2011
Beautiful lilies now 5ft tall with up to nine flowers now open on each stem. Love them so much I have bought more bulbs. These are now about 12 inches tall. All strong and healthy.Looking forward to your open weekend.
By Paul Gough 30-06-2011
Planted in large pots they are now 5ft tall, I have staked them but don't really need it as very strong stems, flowers waiting to open. Disease and pest free. Under planted with Coleus to shade roots. Very impressed and easy to grow.
By Paul Gough 30-06-2011
The Crystal Collection are strong healthy 5ft tall plants, waiting to bloom they have had no pests or diseases. I have staked them but don't really need to be, under planted with Coleus plants to shade the roots. Very impressed
By sally beal 05-06-2011
The Crystal Lilly tree collection is wonderful. I have strong healthy plants that are 5ft already in their first year. Buds are all there ready to flower ( 6 on every plant ) i can't wait for them to flower.

1940: School superintendents discuss teacher certification
New requirements for teacher certification were a hot topic when the Wisconsin Association of County School Superintendents met in April 1940 at the Hotel Wausau.
J.F. Waddell of Madison, senior assistant state superintendent of public instruction, outlined for the county superintendents the new requirement for two years of teacher training courses that had gone into effect just before the current school year. Teachers with one year of training would be allowed seven years after the expiration of their current certificates to obtain a second year of training, or their teaching permits would not be renewed.
"There are about 2,500 teachers in Wisconsin who will necessarily have to acquire additional schooling if they wish to continue teaching," Waddell was quoted as saying in the April 22, 1940, edition of the Wausau Daily Record-Herald.
A teacher who planned to marry within a year or two and preferred not to pursue the additional training should "marry now," Waddell said. Permits would not be extended for the extra year because "schools cannot serve for charity purposes."
Teachers who held life certificates would not be required to obtain the additional year of training, since the legislature previously had allowed such teachers to continue in the same capacity indefinitely.

Home Makeover Turns Deadly in The Burningmoore IncidentDeth_Banger
Jonathan William's upcoming faux documentary The Burningmoore Incident has us witnessing a home makeover television show film their pilot episode, but what they capture is the brutal killings of the crew.
With thanks to the guys over at STYD we have the trailer which you can check out below.
This actually looks pretty cool, I don't think its anything supernatural this time around, I think it's just some dude brutally killing people but it has been referenced as a psychological thriller so who knows.
Any fans of Queensryche out there? If there are then I'm sure you will recognise this name, Geoff Tate. He stars in the film and has also written an exclusive track for the film.
Synopsis: "The Burningmoore Incident focuses on the murderous rampage that took place in March of 2010, in Bayside Queens, as the construction team of Cole Contracting were being video taped by multiple cameras on the first day of what was to be a home makeover reality show. By sundown the house was a bloody scene of carnage."

Culture of Corruption
Feb 18, 2013, Vol. 18, No. 22 • By MATTHEW CONTINETTI
Caribbean-based company ICSSI had seen its lucrative contract to X-ray the cargo entering the Dominican Republic languish for years when, in 2011, it began searching for an investor with political pull. Perhaps someone with the right connections would be able to pressure the Dominicans into enforcing the contract, which was valued at somewhere between $500 million and $1 billion over 20 years. And that special someone, it seemed, was Salomon E. Melgen, a Dominican-born ophthalmologist and businessman in South Florida, who had acquired a reputation as a powerful and expansive donor to Democratic politicians de los Estados Unidos. Melgen bought a controlling stake in ICSSI. Maybe he could succeed where others had failed.
Last year, in the middle of the presidential election, Melgen's medical practice donated some $700,000 to Majority PAC, a "super" political action committee founded by former staffers to Senate majority leader Harry Reid. As a super-PAC, Majority PAC is allowed under federal law to accept unlimited contributions for "independent expenditures" not coordinated with candidates or campaigns.
The particular expenditures Majority PAC was interested in making independently were on behalf of Democratic Senate candidates, including $582,000 in support of New Jersey Democrat Bob Menendez, who was facing a rather inconsequential, don't-worry-be-happy challenge from Republican state senator Joe Kyrillos. And who happened to be a longtime pal of Dr. Salomon E. Melgen. And who suddenly developed an active and vocal interest in contract law.
Wasn't it a problem, Menendez asked during a July 31, 2012, hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, that Latin American and Caribbean nations were not fulfilling legally binding obligations? There was, for instance, one "company that has American investors that is seeking to—has a contract actually given to it by the—kind of ratified by the Dominican Congress—to do X-ray of all of the cargo that goes through the ports, which have been problematic and for which in the past narcotics have been included in those cargo. And they don't want to live by that contract either." So what was the United States government going to do about it?
Menendez raised similar concerns in conversations with State Department officials. What the U.S. government ended up doing about it, however, was probably not what he'd intended. For what the U.S. government, in the form of FBI and Department of Health and Human Services personnel, ended up doing was raiding the West Palm Beach offices of Dr. Melgen over the course of two days during the final week of January 2013. These federal personnel, according to reports, left with some 30 boxes of evidence. And that evidence would seem to pertain, also according to reports, to not one but two ongoing investigations. One involves allegations of Medicare fraud. The other involves allegations of public corruption.
This is bad news for Menendez. Melgen and his family, having contributed during the 2010 cycle more than $30,000 to Menendez, and more than $60,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which Menendez chaired at the time, are some of the senator's biggest donors. But Melgen is more than that. He also seems to have assumed an unofficial and unpaid position as Menendez's travel agent, ferrying the New Jersey Democrat to and from exclusive properties in the Dominican Republic on his private jet.
We know, for example, of three trips the friends made to the Caribbean in 2010. And we know that, up until about, oh, a month ago, Menendez had disclosed payment for only one of them: $5,380 for a trip in May 2010. Reimbursement for the other trips, the senator told reporters last week, sort of "fell through the cracks." After all, Bob Menendez is a very, very busy man. "I was in a big travel schedule in 2010."
It took two years, and the filing of an ethics complaint, for Menendez to acknowledge the remaining trips. He did this by writing a personal check to Melgen for the hefty amount of $58,500, suggesting the eye doctor charges payday-loan levels of interest. The senator and his office argue that the reimbursement settles the question of whether the previous nondisclosure violated ethics rules. And they are all too happy to reject and denounce accusations that Menendez and Melgen hired prostitutes, which is legal in the Dominican Republic, on their foreign trips. You know how it is: What happens in Casa de Campo . . .

New York Public Library
This talk will celebrate the centennial of the first Arab American novel. In 1911, Dodd, Mead, and Co. in New York City published Ameen Rihani's The Book of Khalid, a story of two boys from Lebanon who immigrate to the Little Syria neighborhood in Lower Manhattan and peddle on the streets. After exposure to the New York artistic and cultural environment of the period, the two return to Lebanon where, inspired by their New York experiences, they transform into political and social revolutionaries and become in conflict with the ruling Ottoman Empire. The work is considered the foundation of Arab American literature and is seen as a crucial influence on Kahlil Gibran's famous work The Prophet (1923). The New York Public Library is an especially appropriate venue as Rihani, who had no formal education, developed his literary knowledge from its holdings. Mr. Fine will talk about Ameen Rihani, the man, and The Book of Khalid and Dr. Khater will lecture on Little Syria at the turn of the 20th century.
Todd Fine is the director of Project Khalid, the centennial campaign for The Book of Khalid, and the editor of a new critical edition of The Book of Khalid under advance contract with Syracuse University Press.
Akram Khater is Prof. of Middle Eastern History at North Carolina State University. He is the author of Inventing Home: Emigration, Gender and the Making of a Lebanese Middle Class, 1861-1921; Sources in the History of the Middle East and numerous articles and reviews. He is currently producing a PBS documentary on the history of the Lebanese community in North Carolina.

Hello, ppl
I have a simple question
What is the best speed for recording of mp3, wave & other music file types on DVD-R discs ?
I mean the best speed in order to have the best quality of the recorded audio data.
Usually i record with 2x speed, but at the moment i have a bulk of DVD-R discs Verbatim, which minimum speed is 4x
Is it worth to record on 4x, will i have problems with the quality of the record ?

i think lower speed is always better for quality of record
It isn't. For comprehensive information on this matter, I'd head over to the Club Myce forums, there's a lot of talk about it. The general consensus is that very low speeds make the quality of your burn worse, as discs and recorders are tuned for their highest speeds. For the rest, it is black magic and involves a lot of trying and testing.
But that's of no relevance for the occasional burn. Just use the default speed and most of the time, you'll be fine.

The "Quality" of the Audio Data, or the Integrity of the data should be the same as long as the burn validates/verifies as OK (Like the 2nd post said). Else you have a failed burn, and have to burn the disc again.
The media should support the range of speed it specifies, and on any compatible drive. All settings should validate 100%, else there is defect on the media or the drive.
It's possible that a particular media+drive+setting combination may yield a higher percentage of successful burns, but I think nobody holds that data. The amount of media+drive+settings combinations possible is too large to perform those tests. It may very well be that the higher settings of a particular "combination" has been optimized and tested more, or it may be that for some other reason the slower settings are better, or maybe a setting in between! The truth is that nobody knows. And then you buy another brand of media, all that will change again.
In the past, where such high speeds were a breakthrough of both drive and media, the lower settings were considered more "Stable", but that shouldn't be the case today. Note that even though technology has advanced, priority will not always be quality. Some optical media out there focus on price before quality, and before durability.
Last but not least, remember to have backups of your data. Saving data exclusively on 1 piece of optical media, is probably a bad idea. So as long as you keep it on your hard drive or elsewhere, in case the optical media gets scratched over time, then you should be OK.

My own testing, some years ago, showed that even on discs that had no uncorrected errors, there was a huge variation in the number of correctable errors, I took this as an indication of how readable a disc might be on other drives, or in future years, so I wouldn't rely solely on whether or not the disc verifies, especially for archiving purposes.
Of course, for archiving I wouldn't use optical media anyway.

I'm trying to rip a DVD for my niece here. I so relied on this app.
Perhaps it's the unusual file-type I'm throwing at it, but I've never encountered this problem before. It tried to convert to DVD-mpeg as usual, but just seems to hang there on 'checking...' while the progress bar never even starts to fill up. Will report back in a minute.

On State of the Union, Powell says Obama may be biting off a bit more than he can chew.
It's a succulent leaf, thicker than spinach, but when you chew and eat it, it tastes identical to a raw oyster.
They chew this thing, a real thing, they do this until they foam at the mouth.
"I think we bit off more than we could chew," he told the FBI.
A new fuss over the public option would necessarily return health care to the front-burner and chew up a bunch of time.
If you shay it different, I'll chew your head like an apple caught in the crack of a door.
You mean that she did not—did not find your friend Bob something to chew upon?
At first, most persons dislike to chew it, but use soon renders it far from disagreeable.
He took a chew of tobacco and prepared to give his best attention.
How should she know that it was unable to chew, and was in the habit of swallowing buttons, beads, and other small articles whole?
Old English ceowan "to bite, gnaw, chew," from West Germanic *keuwwan (cf. Middle Low German keuwen, Dutch kauwen, Old High German kiuwan, German kauen), from PIE root *gyeu- "to chew" (cf. Old Church Slavonic živo "to chew," Lithuanian žiaunos "jaws," Persian javidan "to chew").
Figurative sense of "to think over" is from late 14c.; to chew the rag "discusss some matter" is from 1885, apparently originally British army slang. Related: Chewed; chewing. To chew (someone) out (1948) probably is military slang from World War II. Chewing gum is by 1843, American English, originally hardened secretions of the spruce tree.
c.1200, "an act of chewing," from chew (v.). Meaning "wad of tobacco chewed at one time" is from 1725; as a kind of chewy candy, by 1906.

text: Fox Theatre in Atlanta Posted on: December 15th, 2008 by admin 4 Comments Donna We attended the show tonight at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. My husband was very reluctant to go. He actually enjoyed the show. I thought it was great! It had a lot of awesome music and laughs and just a good time all around. It was everything I expected and more. We drove 100 miles for the show and it was worth every bit. Can't wait for the Nashville show on the 22nd. Thanks Amy and Vince for true entertainment. Linda My husband and I were at the Fox in Atlanta last night. We enjoyed every moment of the concert, and could not believe it when the time came to an end. Vince and Amy's rendition of Jeremy Camp's "Give Me Jesus" left not a dry eye in the house. The woman next to me was no longer a stranger as we looked through our purses for tissues to offer each other The song that Vince wrote about his brother "Bread and Water" had the crowd on their feet, and again, the tears flowing. What not just an incredible night of music, but an incredible bonding with two people who pour their music from their hearts. God Bless you both. Amy My best friend and I met the summer of 1987 at church camp in West Virginia, where we worked as co-counselors for a group of middle school girls. We bonded over all of the songs from "The Collection" and have followed Amy Grant's career together ever since. We attended the Christmas concert at The Fox on Monday and marveled that it took us 21 years to go to an Amy Grant concert together. It was a beautiful, funny, heartwarming and tear jerking evening. Vince and Amy are just perfect together. So refreshing. Merry Christmas and God Bless to All. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1yOBheGasY Joseph Hi, I am Joseph from Hong kong. Say hi with a cantonese version of Amy Grant's Baby Baby http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1yOBheGasY Cheers!

Study Says Young Women Aren't Ambitious; We Sigh And Get Back To Work
So, what are the personal goals that allegedly concern Millennial women? Obviously, baby making — in fact, personal goals relating to creating a family are the only ones mentioned in this study's infographic. We'd really like to know what other personal goals Millennial women have, as we like to think of life as more than just a choice between going to work and popping out kids. Having strong friendships, time for self-care, and being able to pursue interests outside of work seem like important personal goals to the Millennial women around here. While said women do worry about having to sacrifice those parts of their lives while spending long hours at the office, as for whether or not it's "worth the reward" in the long term, well, they don't really know yet: After all, they were only born in 1980-1992 (like the sample surveyed for this study).
As for this study's title claim that Millennial women are "redefining ambition in the workplace," it sounds a whole lot like what's being redefined is the glass ceiling. That is, it would appear that many young women would like it to be lower so they don't have to worry so much about being leaders at work (and instead can focus on being leaders in the home). Which is great for some people, for sure. But, we like to think that child rearing and professional success are not mutually exclusive. It's 2013, after all. (ZenoGroup.)

BOTHELL, Wash. - With a statewide nursing shortage looming and the need to educate nurses a priority, the Nursing Program at the University of Washington Bothell is working to improve Washington state's health care forecast. The program recently received a $286,899 Department of Education Noncompetitive Congressionally-directed Grant in support of its "Initiative to Train Nursing Faculty in Partnership with a Consortium of Colleges."
Created in response to growing state needs for a highly educated health care and nursing workforce, the Initiative aims to increase the number of nursing faculty teaching in Washington state's community and technical college nursing programs. By educating the next generation of nursing faculty, the Initiative will directly contribute to the education and increased numbers of highly skilled nurses practicing in our state.
The Initiative will meet these goals by:
1. Developing a consortium with area community and technical college nursing programs which will help to identify, recruit and mentor novice faculty;
2. Expanding the UW Bothell Master of Nursing program and admitting up to 20-25 additional students who are either faculty currently teaching or interested in teaching at consortium schools
3. Allocating scholarships ($160,000) to students currently in or planning careers in nursing education; and
4. Enhancing the quality of education for nurses and nursing faculty through the consortium, faculty-to-faculty connections, and novice faculty mentoring.
The consortium will include the following institutions, the majority (12) of which currently share articulation agreements with the UW Bothell Nursing Program: Bellevue Community College, Bellingham Technical College, Everett Community College, Highline Community College, Lake Washington Technical College, North Seattle Community College, Peninsula College, Renton Technical College, Seattle Central Community College, Shoreline Community College, Skagit Valley College (Mount Vernon and Whidbey Island campuses), South Seattle Community College, and Whatcom Community College.
This expanded partnership will strengthen UW Bothell's nursing education offerings to best meet the needs and opportunities identified by consortium faculty, enabling the program to continue to educate highly qualified nursing educators who will serve to prepare the region's next generation of nurses and health care professionals. Consortium schools are located in King, Island, Snohomish, Skagit, and Whatcom Counties with the schools' nursing alumni practicing throughout the state and region. 100% of these Congressionally directed dollars will be applied to the project.
UW Bothell is located in the state's 1st congressional district, represented by U.S. Representative Jay Inslee and U.S. Senators Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray, all of whom are to be noted for their efforts to support quality education and for working to address our state's health care crisis. Additional support was provided by Congressman Dave Reichert of the 8th congressional district.
About the UW Bothell Nursing Program: The UW Bothell Nursing Program offers two academic degree programs both of which serve working nurses who must balance work, families and social responsibilities. The first is the RN to BSN completion program which allows nurses whose pre-licensure nursing education was based in diploma or associate degree programs to complete their BSN through efficient scheduling of classes one day per week. Since the program was established in 1992, over 1,200 RN to BSN students have graduated from this program and most continue to live and work in the Northern Puget Sound region.
The second program offered is the Master of Nursing program which focuses on leadership in education, practice, policy, and program development. The cohort program is offered in either a 7 quarter or 11 quarter sequence of study, with classes scheduled one day a week. Since admitting its first students in 2002, 88 nurses have graduated from the program with twenty-eight (32%) currently serving as faculty in regional ADN and BSN programs.
More information about the program can be found at www.uwb.edu/nursing.
About UW Bothell: The University of Washington Bothell was founded in 1990 to serve King and Snohomish counties and north Puget Sound area students seeking bachelor's and master's degrees. UW Bothell offers degree programs in applied computing, business, nursing, education, computing and software systems, interdisciplinary arts and sciences, cultural studies, and policy studies. In addition to growing its Nursing Program, the institution is currently developing other programs to train students for careers in the health care and biomedical fields, thereby working to directly respond to community needs.

|Non-resident orthopaedic admissions to Dunedin Hospital, New Zealand: 1997 to 2004.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15980905 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|AIMS: The purpose of this study is to audit the numbers of non-residents requiring orthopaedic admission to our hospital and determine the effect of increasing tourist numbers and changes in Accident ACC regulations on healthcare resources. METHODS: Details of non-resident orthopaedic admissions for fiscal years 1997/8 to 2003/4 were analysed with respect to country of residence, mechanism of injury, case weights consumed, and actual costs. RESULTS: There has been no change in numbers of admissions or cost, averaging 32 cases (50 case weights [CWs]) per year. Most patients came from Asia (59 cases; 26%), then Australia (52 cases; 23%) and UK (40 cases; 18%). Snowsports accounted for 40% of admissions, Motor vehicle accidents (MVA) for 17%, and falls for 29%. Non-resident, non-MVA admissions have averaged 21 CWs per year since the changes in ACC regulations in 1999. DISCUSSION: Despite increasing tourist numbers, there has been no increase in numbers or CW of non-residents requiring orthopaedic admission. Although representing only a small proportion of the orthopaedic budget, they generate many hidden costs. The 50 CWs annually equates to approximately 13 major joint replacements per year. The increase in CWs consumed due to the ACC changes have had no corresponding increase in contracted orthopaedic volumes.

PC Boys Relying on Depth, Quickness Early On
Posted By Sports On December 1, 2011 @ 6:00 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
Pella Christian's coaching staff got their first look at the boys' team in a Varsity setting on Monday night, and now the Eagles are back at work in practice to prepare for their next contest.
Pella Christian boys head basketball coach Larry Hessing says one of the strengths of his team is their depth, and he says he expects the line-up to see a number of changes as the season progresses – particularly here in the early games on the schedule.
The Pella Christian boys basketball team heads to Alleman on Friday night to take on North Polk.

Johnson County prosecutors have dropped a case against an Overland Park man who had been charged with promoting prostitution.
Peng Zhang, 43, was scheduled to be tried starting Monday on a charge of maintaining or managing Lily Massage, which the complaint alleged was a house of prostitution. Instead, prosecutors dismissed the charge, a misdemeanor, on Sept. 21.
District Attorney spokesman Brian Burgess said today that prosecutors "didn't want to go forward with the case we had." Defense attorney Scott Toth said his client was innocent.
Zhang was one of six people charged May 12 in Johnson County District Court with alleged involvement in a prostitution ring. The charges were announced a day after federal prosecutors in Kansas City announced sex trafficking charges against four other people.
The federal prosecutors alleged those four were part of an operation that brought Chinese women to Johnson County to work as prostitutes.

If this is your role, explore this section of the SPA Guide for some tools and tips for handling the complexities of research project management. You will find more information on managing research projects in another section of this SPA Guide: Post-Award Fiscal Management.
Check Out the Checklist!
With all of the details you must monitor in award management, you may find the "New Award Checklist" pictured below helpful to post and use. With jobs like yours that are often so complex that it can be a challenge to keep up — doing everything correctly and on time — a checklist can often help to prevent oversights. Using a checklist can help you remember to do what you know needs to be done in the midst of multiple priorities.
Book Description
You may have heard of the Checklist Manifesto, the book that rocked the world of medicine when it was published in 2010. The author cites the introduction of checklists in one operating room for the prevention of 43 infections and 8 deaths as well as reducing the average length of patients' stays in the ICU by half and saving $2 million dollars in patient care costs.
Many administrators in various work settings outside of the medical world have also discovered the power of checklists. They have found that the use of checklists helps their staff manage increasingly complex and cumbersome jobs with fewer errors and less stress.
Click the book jacket on the left to go to the NC State library listing where you can download the E-book version of this publication.
New Award Checklist
The purpose of the checklist is to help make sure that you are thoroughly reviewing new awards and planning for the required award management actions and deliverables.
You may click the form below to download a PDF version of the draft. Feel free to print the checklist, try it out, and make copies for use in your college or department.
New Award Meetings
Office of Contracts and Grants staff can meet with college faculty and staff upon request to "kick off" projects in a New Award Meeting.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss compliance issues, grant details, specific guidelines, and responsibilities.
Arrange one of these meetings through your college research office for new faculty or administrative staff or for particularly complicated or multi-year projects.
Contact us if you have any questions or would like to schedule a New Award meeting.
Award Management Forms and References
You can find forms and references that you may need on the following Sponsored Programs & Regulatory Compliance Services (SPARCS) and Office of Contracts and Grants (CNG) pages:
- Send an e-mail to a University expert if your College Business Office cannot help on related questions.
- Send an e-mail to the webmaster for this site if you discover broken links or want to make suggestions for improvement of this guide.
