Embry-Riddle outside hitter Jordan Holcomb was named a first-team NAIA volleyball All-American on Monday.
The former Warner Christian standout from New Smyrna Beach led the Eagles with 440 kills this season. She was ERAU's only first-teamer. Senior outside hitter Taylor Martin and senior setter Adriana Vazquez were named to the third team, while senior middle blocker Gloria Kemp was named to the NAIA Scholar-Athlete team. Kemp has a 3.62 GPA.
The Eagles finished the season at 29-6, losing a tiebreak set to try to get out of pool play at the NAIA championships. ERAU's four seniors finished their careers with a perfect 52-0 regular-season Sun Conference record.

A modern day love story amid the crazy materialism of our consumer society, Surrounded is a true story and by far the most personal of my books. It's told in three parts: one part social commentary, one part letter, and one part poem - tied together through photographs and a single burning question. Enjoy!
David King has been taking pictures since his father taught him the difference between shutter speed and f-stop when he was a child. He has been writing fiction and non-fiction since his mother taught him his first big word: "articulate," at age 6. Moving to Boston for university, he studied electrical engineering & photography at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Wellesley College and the New England School of Photography. After working many years as an engineer, David moved into a VW camper in 2003 and spent four years living nomadically, traveling throughout the United States and overseas. In 2007 he returned to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he currently lives with his wife and traveling companion Deonnie Moodie. email@example.com www.BlurryBike.com

Splashy Affair
Nobody looks prettier than when he or she has a sunny disposition, so Modern Luxury Dallas took over the pool at Blue Print for a beauty-laden summer party. Ladies and their beaus sipped chilled mojitos and vodka lemonades courtesy of Patrón and Ultimat, nibbled on fresh bites from Private Social—including platters of colorful macarons—and enjoyed a bevvy of fun beauty bars. Big hits were Lure Salon's on-site braid mavens, who twisted everyone's hair into Greek goddess plaits, Muse The Salon's samples of the brand new TIGI make-up and Balmain hair extensions, and Natura Bisse's delightfully relaxing hand treatments and citrus-laden C+C Vitamin Splash, now a refreshing staple in everyone's bag. Guests such as Ivan and Melissa Bank, Catherine Cody, Natura Bisse's Carla Coindreau, Brooke Gallagher, Shezad and Naila Malik and Alison Volk, all joined in the poolside activities for a day of fun in the sun.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Plant Care Techniques
Breeding Your Own Squash (page 3 of 6)
by Carol Deppe
How to Save Your Own Seed
Save your own seeds and you'll have many more to plant next spring
You can save seed from any standard or heirloom variety. You cannot however, save seed from F1 hybrid varieties, because they don't breed true (offspring will not necessarily resemble the parents).
Selection. The first technique for successful hand pollination and seed saving is selection. This is the most basic plant breeding method. To select is to choose which genes and characteristics to perpetuate. We do it by saving seed from the best plants. Superior plants are more likely to produce superior offspring. Which are best? How do we decide? Here are some basic guidelines to consider when planning your garden with seed saving in mind.
Grow several plants of any variety you plan to save seed from. There are two reasons. First, if you have only one or two plants, it may be difficult or even impossible to find a female flower and a male flower at the right stage for hand-pollinating simultaneously. With three or more plants, it's usually easy. Second, with several plants, you can save seed from the best. With just one or two plants, you end up having to save from all the plants, not just the best.
Plant plenty of seed if possible. I like to plant six seeds in a hill and thin to the one or two that germinate and grow most vigorously. This way, I automatically select for lines that germinate and grow well under my growing conditions.
Examine the plants before you start hand pollination. Don't use male or female buds from plants that are small, stunted, off-type, or otherwise obviously inferior. Remember that both parents (the pollen-donating male plant and the bud-carrying female one) matter.
Keep a record of which plants the male and female flowers for different hand pollinations come from. Often individual plants of a single variety are different enough to matter. In addition, varieties sometimes contain a few off-types. If one plant turns out to be something other than what it should have been, you will want to know, for example, which hand pollination it donated the pollen for.
Both self- and cross-pollinations have advantages. That is, you can use pollen from the same plant or a different plant. Self-pollinating means a loss of genetic heterogeneity in the next generation, which is an advantage if the individual plant turns out to be exceptionally good. Its seed will produce plants that are more uniform and more like their superior parent than the seed you started with. On the other hand, pollinating a female flower with pollen from a different plant of the same variety does a better job of maintaining all the genetic variability present in the variety so that it is there for you to select from in the future. Some species and varieties lose vigor if they are inbred (self-pollinated generation after generation), a phenomenon called--inbreeding depression. But it doesn't seriously affect squashes and pumpkins.
The second stage of selection comes at the end of the season, when the fruits are mature or nearly mature, but before harvest. Evaluate the individual plants, and make notes about early maturity, yield, and other important characteristics. It is important to consider the whole plant, not just the individual fruit. Don't be fooled into being impressed by the biggest fruit, for example, if the plant had only one fruit but is supposed to have several.
The proof is in the eating. The final stage of evaluation comes when you eat the fruits. I make notes about flavor (if different from what I expect), and how thick the flesh is.
If I end up with many hand pollinations that seem equivalent, I may pool the cleaned seed. Often, however, my various records indicate that one hand-pollinated fruit represents the "best" parents. I set that seed aside for planting the next year.

PCC in the News
News: High-Scoring Jackson Helps Pierce Upset PCC No. 4 Women's Basketball
Under the radar but certainly a formidable opponent, the unranked Los Angeles Pierce College women's basketball team ended visiting state No. 4-rated Pasadena City College's six-game winning streak Wednesday, 81-77, thanks to the spectacular play of flashy guard Monica Jackson. The 5-foot-6 sophomore, the state's leading scorer in 2010-11, poured in 31 points.
Fresh off of two tournament titles, PCC (7-3 record) found no answer in trying to defend Jackson, who frequently made quick drives to the basket from a variety of angles while also sinking several baseline jumpers. Jackson helped Pierce (7-3) take a commanding 43-27 halftime lead.
The Lancers, though, responded in the second half behind the skills of their own talented sophomore point guard Desiree Loving. Scoring all 18 of her points in the second half, Loving helped PCC mount a fast and furious 13-2 run to open the final 20 minute period.
With 12:30 left, Skai Thompson's fast-break basket gave the Lancers their only lead of the game, 53-52. Pierce regained the lead, 57-55, on a pair of free throws by Gasia Sarkis. Jackson would help the Brahmas pull away as she sank five straight shots as they went ahead 73-63.
PCC made one last charge, cutting it to 78-75 with 35 seconds left on a 3-pointer by Thompson. The transfer guard, who totaled 17 points, five rebounds, five assists and three steals, missed on two other long-range attempts that both were on target but not enough to drop in.
Lancers center Kaitlyn Parks picked up another double-double with a team-high 21 points and 12 rebounds (plus four blocks). Parks was 9-for-14 from the field. Tyler Crockom added five points and seven assists while Kiara Philips tallied seven points and grabbed five rebounds.
For Pierce, Amari Hampton netted five 3-pointers as part of her 24 points. The Brahmas made nine treys overall to four for PCC in what was the only statistical department where there was a a distinct advantage by either team.
The Lancers will travel to face Ventura College on Saturday, Dec. 21 in a 7 p.m. non-conference tip-off.

I'm a christian living in the UK. Some people on here have intimated that atheists in the US are persecuted in some ways. I have no idea what this means, but would very interested to find out. So the questions is how? Its a genuine question, and i'm not looking for discussion on whether God exists etc, just the topic at hand. Thanks.

I am an atheist from Spain and I can tell you. YES! not only in theUS, but all over the World there are millions o atheists in the "closet" for fear of being discriminated against, even persecuted, tortured and executed in religious dictatorships. In Latin America, atheists are very isolated in many communities, surrounded by ignorant, fanatic believers... 93% of US scientists are in the "closet" at work and declare themselves non believers in private.
I am from south africa and i promise you it happens there. i was about 15 when i came out atheist and suffered the backlash, At school i had my fellow students, teachers, the principal and the preachers that used to come around every thursday all call me evil, a devil worshiper, continualy tell me how i was going to burn in hell for all eternity etc etc. In a school of nearly a thousand people i was the only atheist there untill i made a handfull of friends and turned them onto atheism.but then when that was noticed their parents would get a call from concerned teachers and parents about how i was a bad influence and atheist and a majority of the time they would be told they where not allowed to be friends with me.
and the same happened when i left school and started working. as soon as it was known i was an atheist i would be shunned, delegated the worst work and let go at the slightest opportunity.
I Can promise you it is not easy being atheist in a highly religious country and i cant tell you just how amazing it is to live in England where religion is not an issue. Infact i have found among the younger generation it is very uncommon to find a believing christian
It depends on your definition of persecution. Atheists are generally misunderstood, reviled, and discriminated against in certain ways in the United States. However, persecution would be a bit hyperbolic when compared to what persecution represents in other scenarios and in other countries.
Also, the U.S. is a large country, geographically speaking. An atheist living in New York would likely have a vastly different experience than one living in Des Moines, who in turn would have a different experience than one living in the deep south.
All in all, most Americans don't trust atheists and would elect to public office candidates of a different religion before choosing an atheist. There are many stereotypes and misunderstandings among the general population regarding atheism.
I am from the USA and yes, atheists are persecuted. I have had a stalker that harrasses me almost daily on youtube and I have even had death threats.
I am going to try and give some information about persecution and the behavior of some Christians and Christian groups in the United States in regards to non-believing citizens here. I will try and not get into a war of words regarding the general aspects of atheism vs. religious peoples beliefs, as your inquiry seems honest and fair.
I have lived in the United States for 51 years. I have been an atheist since my early teens (really as soon as I could really form an informed personal decision on the matter.) In grade school I received constant ridicule by many christian schoolmates regarding my non-belief. Even the parents of the religiously inclined students harassed me, and attempts were made by some teachers to somehow change my atheist perspective (this was in a public school, not a religious institution) I have been fired from jobs because people found out about my atheist viewpoints. I have never pushed my philosophies on any one,especially in the work environment. I do not and have never hidden or not been honest to anyone about my lack of a belief in supernatural beings or religions in general. Traveling through the bible belt in America as a child and early teen, did learn to have fear for my life and well being from many religious people, as they seemed to consider an non-believer/atheist on the same negative platform as Hitler, Stalin the Antichrist or countless other objects of hate.,
There are still states in the U.S. that ban a atheist from holding public office. To even consider the attempt to run for election in publicly held offices you would need to be a christian or lie about your atheism. There is one elected official in the US senate and house that admits to not having a belief in some kind of god or gods.
As an adult I have had many threats on my life and property from certain christian peoples and groups. Today I was told by other workers at my job that I was not to bring any of my science books to read while on break, and that I better not tell anyone of my lack of belief in the supernatural. I work at a large aero-space company that has government contracts, and thankfully if I am fired for my atheism, many lawyers are in the wings to sue the heck out of them. But you need to know that in many other jobs in the United States that have a small amount of employees, you can be fired for not believing in christianity, and people have no real protection against this intolerance.
I have many many more personal experiences, and can bring to the front countless other experiences of other atheists that have had similar unpleasant events brought on by the intolerance of many christians in this country. I have met some christians that actually seem to at least follow the basic teachings of the christian religion and respect other peoples viewpoints, but the environment here can be just as dangerous and unfair as a fundamental Islamic controlled society.
Facts and rationality do not need to bend and contort against the force of irrational and supernatural based belief structures....rationality and facts are not held in check even by the force of a psuedo-democracy The positive aspect for me and many of the non-believing citizens here in the United States, is that our population is now the second largest social/ philosophical grouping here. We just need to exert our social and political energy to demand a secular and fair government and public domain. We need to show our faces and come out of the "closet" not to be intimidated by religious fundamentalists determined to silence science and the rational behavior of many of our best citizens. I think that you do not have a clear picture of what it feels like to be marginalized and yes, even persecuted for you beliefs or in my case a lack of those beliefs in this environment.
I have tried to give some insight into the situation in many areas of the United States regarding your inquiry, I hope that I did not get too verbose and get my strong convictions and words to the point that I may have offended you.....But you did put forth a question and an inquiry that I felt needed an answer...
With the hope of mutual respect and understanding,
Jeff C, In the state of Arizona,
I'm twenty-two years old, I've been an Atheist for nine years, three years publicly. I've lost two jobs (fired for minor, never-been-enforced-before-in-the-entire-company infractions after co-workers complained about me not being a Christian) and about one-hundred friends since my 'coming out'. I've had tires slashed, windows smashed, waste smeared on my car. I routinely receive death threats, hate mail, and the like.
And on one occasion where "get out of the us atheist scum" was carved into my front door, the officer I was dealing with told me he wouldn't help anyone who didn't love Jesus. After filing a complaint with the department about his behavior, the complaint and any record of him responding to my call mysteriously disappeared. That was while living in a smaller community (~8000 people) where I had moved to after graduating high school, because the rent was super cheap. I moved back to my hometown now (~500,000 people) and things are mostly better. I still get death threats via social networking and text message, but the vandalism has ceased, at least.
Those 8000 people probably were all a single family. Inbreds.
Glad to hear it's better now.
I think everybody who has a belief of some sort can plead that they are oppressed in some way or other. Compared to the oppression of gays, women, and the poor in the U.S., I have little to complain about. Whenever you find yourself in a minority of some sort, you can plead oppression.
I am still for the most part "in the closet" with my atheism, not from my family, but mostly because I fear for the backlash against my family. Right now, I live in a larger community where I have friends who can help and support me if needed. Back home, my parents live in a town of 3000 or so, and the high school just put on the play Godspell which was accepted without any criticism for being put on in a public school. Lack of religion is viewed as horrific, even in a place where meth busts and teenage pregnancies are considered norm.
My family knows my views, and I can talk freely with them about it. Its the townspeople that I fear with tell them that they have spawned a son of satan in the absolutely serious manner.
I live in Chicago, IL. Not exactly the bible belt. But there is a stigma to it. I loss a couple of friends because I'm a atheist. But I never really hung out with them anyway so I don't care.
I think they weren't real friends, then, but just people you knew and maybe hung with a bit.

If you've ever used a flash when taking pictures, you've probably noticed that the people in your pictures sometimes appear to have red eyes. This is called red eye, and is caused by the camera flash bouncing off of the person's retina. You can minimize red eye by using the red eye reduction feature in your camera. You can also use Windows Photo Gallery to reduce or eliminate red eye in your pictures after they've been taken.
Open Windows Photo Gallery by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Photo Gallery.
Click the picture you want to correct, and then, on the toolbar, click Fix.
In the Fix pane, click Fix Red Eye.
Click the upper-left corner of the first eye that you want to correct, and then drag the mouse pointer to the lower-right corner of the eye to create a selection around the eye.
Repeat the selection for each eye that you want to correct.
You can increase the amount of red eye that you remove by selecting an eye more than once.
If Fix Red Eye doesn't appear to have any effect on your picture, the eyes might be too dark. Try clicking Auto Adjust first, and then click Fix Red Eye.

I did a Google search on the meaning of Sasuke's name...
I did a Google search on the meaning of Sasuke's name...
ajg;djfakljfdkl;sjdf YOU BASTARDS give spoiler warnings PLEASE. PLEASE. I said to myself "hey how about i catch up on this thread" and see names and people dying. I DID NOT NEED TO KNOW!
Gah... I just saw that too. I'm only as far as the American version. I think its stupid and has bad voice overs, but I still prefer it over subbed youtube episodes.
[SIZE="1"]Pairs: The Blind Eye of Deception [DSX] | The Ninjassassin [Sasuke] | The Hadouken! [The Azn Party Boy]
You should watch this. It makes more sense than most other Naruto dubs.
Yeah. I am too. Though, the one new epsiode a week thing made me start reading the manga instead and, in a turn of events, I kinda spoiled Shippuuden for myself. Ah, well. It's nice to see it animated.
Pichubro who is your favorite character?
Spoiler warning if you hate to find out how far people get or something
It's a tie between Tobi and Itachi, but I also like Sasori
Naruto (Because he never gets anywhere in the ranks)
Kiba, Shikamaru, and Hinata. I always liked those three.
I like both Neji and Kakashi for different reasons
Sai, definitely
Kage: (from any village)
It's a tie between Gaara (OMG! SPOILER) and Yondaime (Fourth Hokage)
Others: The ferret from the second movie and the kyuubi.
But, there are too many people to have just one favorite. That's what I like about Naruto: You get bored with one character and there's always another character to fill up your time.
thanks for the warning i wanted to read all of your post but i cant bring myself to ruin it!
Me too! ^_^ My favorite characters are (first on down) Kakashi (donno why; I just like him a lot..), then Gaara, then probably... Sasuke or Naruto... Whichever lost that one is next. Everyone else I like (or dislike ^^) equally.
[SIZE="1"]Pairs: The Blind Eye of Deception [DSX] | The Ninjassassin [Sasuke] | The Hadouken! [The Azn Party Boy]
I'm as far as America -_-
I can't find any episodes on youtube >_<
Sasuke oo-cii-ha
(former poke'mon master)
Oh... I just realized.
If it says 204, thats episode 4 of season 2 right?
No. That means episode 204...
I know the American dub is either on ep. 86 or 87...
I just checked, 86. That was about 3 episodes ago. I think 90 is the next one I need, but everytime I search that I get episodes 204, etc. because they are 90 minutes long -_-
That happened to me too. I scearched pages and pages. (Eventually, I found them)
I usually type in "Naruto # of epsiode" and that give me good results.
Try this: If you find someone who has uploaded tons of episodes, see if they have the ones you need. Some also take requests and upload the ones you want too.
But at least he had some decency not to follow his brother and [spoiler] kill his best friend to get the mangen-something sharingan
I kind of like Sasuke. Hilarious -- A little brat I live with (but am not related to in any way) has Sasuke as his favorite character. Here's the funny thing: he thinks he's like Sasuke, too. This kid (Alan's his name) is mega-wimpy (both physically and emotionally), short, stupid, geeky, and a momma's boy. He has nothing in common with Sasuke beyond the fact that they are both human, and both males (and sometimes I wonder if Alan is really a boy too).

A 15-year-old Milford High School student is facing criminal charges after allegedly attacking a classmate last month.
Police said an investigation into the incident, which reportedly occurred at the high school on Jan. 17, revealed the male teen grabbed a 15-year-old female classmate in a hallway and pinned her against a wall.
As the girl attempted to flee, the boy kissed her without her consent, according to Milford Police Department spokesman Lt. Dwight Young.
The boy eventually released the girl when other students walked by them, he said.
The boy was arrested Feb. 5 and charged with unlawful imprisonment and offensive touching.
He later was released to the custody of his parents.

Say I have two random variables X and Y from the same class of distributions, but with different means and variances (X and Y are parameterized differently). Say the variance converges to zero as a function of n, but the mean is not a function of n. Can it be formally proven, without giving the actual pdf of X and Y, that their overlap area (defined the integral over the entire domain of min(f,g), where f,g are the respective pdfs) converges to zero when n goes to infinity? Perhaps this is too obvious...?

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The answer is yes. Let's assume the means verify $\mu_X < \mu_Y$, and let $c =(\mu_X +\mu_Y)/2$ the middle point. The "overlap area" (?) is
$$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \min(f_X(x),f_Y(x)) dx = \int_{-\infty}^c \cdots dx + \int_{c}^{\infty} \cdots dx$$
The second term is:
$$\int_c^{\infty} \min(f_X(x),f_Y(x)) dx \le \int_c^{\infty} f_X(x) dx =P(X \ge c) \le P\left(|X - \mu_X| \ge \epsilon\right)\le \frac{\sigma_X^2}{\epsilon^2}$$
where $\epsilon = c/2$, and we've used the Chebyshev's inequality. Because the variance $\sigma_X^2$ tends to zero, so does this term; and the same goes to the other. Then, $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \min(f_X(x),f_Y(x)) dx \to 0$
As long as the means are different, when variances go to zero, overlap goes to nothing.

Did he just say "I'm Doctor, a time traveler?" as opposed to THE Doctor? I guess it is his name, but it sounds weird to me. Will we get It makes more sense with the Master: "Hello, I'm Master." Okay, I guess I'll have to get used to it.
How does a propellor driven aircraft move in space, when there is no mass of air to be accelerated backwards causing a reaction - i.e. forward thrust? I'll suspend my disbelief if they come up with a good one, but honestly - basic Physics!
Dude thanks for not leaving out the USA and sadly(I sort of like Knowing what happens next) But oh well I still need to see Matt S. has the Doctor cause Dav. was my only Doctor.

Welcome back to this morning's hot links for a one-stop shop look at the top news stories of the day. Let's jump in!
1. More on Ron Washington and drugs
The Buzz: I'm no drug expert, but since when did cocaine become an introductory, one-time consumption drug for 57-year-old men? It seems that many in the sports nation are in agreement that the Rangers were kind not to fire him, but Washington deserved some level of punishment. The bigger question is what is going on with Washington?
2. Tiger Woods does not have the Masters plan
The Buzz:Tiger Woods' return to the Masters will either show his great arrogance or his great, well, greatness. Michael Wilbon's column in today's Washington Post outlines exactly why so many are questioning his return to the most prestigious golf tournament of the year with no warm-up tournaments. "That his first tournament back is the Masters is, well, odd. It's like Kobe or LeBron deciding to skip warmup games in March or April and just report to work for the playoffs. Skipping Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill, where a member of the Mount Rushmore of golf could put his arm around Tiger and help usher him back into the fray, is wasting an enormous resource of potential strength, not to mention goodwill" – Wilbon.
3. Orlando Magic built for an NBA championship
The Buzz:Take it from an expert, San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich. After the Magic dismantled the Spurs 110-84 Wednesday, Popovich said this "I think they are built for championships. They have everything that it takes. . . .They have all the elements there. It's a matter of being consistent and focused." And he's not alone in the sentiment. ESPN First Take analyst Skip Bayless predicted the Magic will win it all if Vince Carter continues to play well according to his twitter account @realskipbayless Thursday morning. Maybe Mickey Mouse land will finally see that ring.
4. Tim Tebow and the Redskins?
The Buzz:Surprisingly, a quarterback who is so beloved can't seem to find any love in the NFL. In a poll conducted by the Washington Post, over half of the fans said they would not want to see Tebow in D.C. (And this is coming from a team with Jason Campbell at the helm)
5. Michael Jordan new Bobcats owner
The Buzz:His airness already snagged a win under his belt as the new owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. But can Jordan turn Charlotte into an NBA city or will it remain a college hoops mecca?
6. Sandra Bullock and Elin Woods could share something in common
The Buzz: It's a sad day for Sandra Bullock. After a heart-warming speeches dedicated to husband Jesse James, she has reportedly moved out of their Southern California home just days after James was accused of cheating.
The Buzz: Lee was suspended and fined by the MLB for throwing a pitch over the head hitter. Ron Washington snorted cocaine and is serving no punishment. Ponder on that.
8. Oklahoma center Keith Gallon taking cash under the table?
The Buzz:We've all learned our lesson about second guessing tmz. The website is alleging that Gallon is in violation of NCAA rules by accepting $3,000 from a Merrill Lynch advisor.
9. More bad news about the firing of Seton Hall coach Bobby Gonzalez
The Buzz: When it rains, it pours. Apparently no one is in Gonzalez's corner.
10. Texas men's basketball went down the drain
The Buzz:Is that the sound of a sink I hear? That would be Texas men's basketball. I have had many sleepless nights about the demise of my alma mater. Apparently Justin Mason thinks the Horns are just playing in a tough conference.

It's a long way from the Georgia cotton fields to the Waldorf Astoria. Ha! And I can tell you that I owe it to Owen Bradley, the great musicians that I've worked with, and the great songwriters who have seen fit to share their creativity with me through the years. And most of all, I owe it to rock and roll. I'm honored. Thank you so very much.

Have you ever stopped to consider the possibility that when it comes to romance, there is an actual formula behind who you find yourself attracted to? You may consciously be aware that you prefer men who are funny, intelligent, handsome, or ambitious, but what if I were to tell you that there is so much more to this formula – and the majority of it is hidden deep in your psyche.
There are numerous factors that go into determining who sparks our interest and who we pick as partners. Love, attraction and pheromones are certainly key components, but there are countless others that dictate the choices we make. Exploring this subject matter has always fascinated me and over the past several years I have tenaciously focused on solving this mystery.
For example, consider Barbara's predicament. A beautiful and lively woman, she was left by her husband several years ago after he revealed his involvement with another woman. Her husband was a demanding guy with many acute narcissistic qualities that other's regularly noticed. But to her, it didn't resonate. She was devastated when he left. Is it simply an accident that today she is involved with a man that is even more narcissistic than her ex?
My client Rita is sharp and savvy, yet she continually struggles to make sense of her marriage. She and her husband argue better than they get along, and both are experts at pushing each other's buttons. She is often frustrated and angry at her circumstances. She is also oblivious to the multi-layered dynamics that are at play between them, which contribute to their problematic relationship.
Over the past thirty years, women in the United States have become nearly autonomous when it comes to making relationship decisions. We are freer today than we've ever been to make our own choices regarding romance. Yet time and again I encounter really smart women who find themselves in complicated dating patterns, difficult relationships, and disastrous divorces. And most are completely unaware that there are actual circumstances that merged together which lead them right smack into these unfortunate situations.
There are many coincidences in life, but few coincidences in love. You might have met him by chance, but there is a reason you chose him among others, and there are other reasons yet that determined the trajectory of your relationship. Through my research I discovered that from the beginning of life, countless little nuances merged together to influence our dating, romance and breakup behaviors. In order to explore these crucial factors I created a revolutionary exercise called "creating your personal love map". Deciphering that vast amount of information will help you both understand and deeply enhance your romantic relationships.
The map examines four aspects from your earlier life that influenced the formation of your personality today. It forces you to ask yourself a host of questions surrounding the categories outlined below, and it enables you to engage in meaningful self reflection:
Biological: What part has genetics played in the development of your personality?
Cultural: What part has society, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic class, and the culture in which you were raised played in the development of your personality?
Social: Reflect on how your self-esteem was formed, and compare that with how you were perceived or perceived yourself as a child through young adulthood.
Psychological: How you were raised and how you "attached" to your parents has enormous influence on how you developed.
Through evaluating and understanding these fundamentals, you will be able to have a much clearer picture of your relationship motivation and behavior, and you'll be more proficient in conducting a fuller assessment of your partner's or ex's motivation and behavior. Decoding this information is a critical component in the creation of emotional intelligence and relationship proficiency.
Love mapping will enable you to discover intriguing knowledge about yourself. Some particulars may emerge that may surprisingly show you how strong and emotionally healthy you actually are. Others may surface that will enable you to identify and then break any dysfunctional dating or relationship patterns you may have. Identifying this information and pledging to modifications will allow you to go forward engaging in healthier relationships in all areas of your life.
As you can see, there are numerous reasons to engage in love mapping. You can begin the process of creating yours by visiting my website. So start creating yours today – it will never steer you wrong.

Châteaux of the Loire : Michelin's recommendations
The castles in the Loire Valley look like a vision straight out of a fairytale with their many lanterns, gables, dormer windows, columns, lofty chimneys, turrets and pinnacles! Chambord, Chenonceau and Azay-le-Rideau illustrate a key period in the history of architecture and also a certain sensibility. Before they were built, architecture and buildings had never really inspired people in quite the same way.
On closer examination, the legacy of the Loire Valley is incredibly diverse, ranging from fortresses (like Angers and Loches) to Renaissance palaces ( Blois and Amboise) and classic castles ( Azay-le-Rideau, Chaumont-sur-Loire and Cheverny).
In addition to fascinating architecture, some castles are also of interest for other reasons such as the tapestry collections at Brissac and Langeais, furniture at Serrant (a historic monument), or the garden at Villandry.
The Loire Valley castles can be visited all year long, and children are welcome too: fifty sites have created fun and instructive games for them. Huddled around them are towns with rich pasts and art treasures – Blois, Tours, Chinon, Angers – and homes evoking the memory of Rabelais, Descartes, Leonardo da Vinci and Balzac.
The Loire, Europe's last untamed river, is the natural setting that has allowed these towns and castles to be preserved throughout the ages. Nowadays the sloping vineyards on its banks produce divine Loire Valley wines including Vouvray, Saumur, Bourgueil and Sancerre.

kcdyer, Wednesday November 19, 2008 - 1:45pm
Last night was a lovely evening get-together for all the members of the SiWC Board of Directors (minus Estelle, who was unable to make it) and plus Ingrid, our intrepid conference assistant and myself. A good time was had by all, and we continued our discussion (essentially begun on the last day of the conference, 2008) about plans for Conference, 2009.
(News and a Contest after the fold...)
First, I guess I should say (and call me crazy, because I know you do-- and what's worse, you're right!) I accepted the Board's offer to return as Conference Coordinator for 2009.
<author pauses here for quick sanity-check and to go through vivid-tights drawer for future supplies...>
And second...we've decided to celebrate by having our first SiWC Blog book give-away. Editor Valerie Gray of Harlequin Books (Mira Imprint) has donated a selection of books to our conference, and here's your chance to win.
As usual, we continue to accept suggestions for potential speakers for our 2009 conference. We always take the recommendations of our attendees very seriously, and pore over the evaluation sheets for the months after every conference ends. Now here's your chance to do the same thing on-line. If you know of an author or presenter (editor, agent, film-maker, publisher) you'd like to take a workshop from at SiWC 2009, put up your suggestion in the comments section of this post. Bonus points if you include a link to the individual's website! if you'd like, tell us what year you attended SiWC, and if you're planning to return in 2009, but the contest is not limited to former attendees. Any reader of this blog can enter!
Now let's see...today is Wednesday. We'll close this contest Friday night (November 21, 2008) at midnight PST. At that point, all the eligible names will go in a hat and we will announce the winners on Saturday, right here on the blog.
(Please note above photo is reduced to a pencil sketch due to crazed hairstyle of blog author...)
First prize -- 4 Mira Novels: WATCH ME by Brenda Novak, THE DEAD ROOM by Heather Graham, TRUST ME by Brenda Novak & THE STOLEN by Jason Pinter.
Second prize -- 3 Mira Novels: BACK ON BLOSSOM STREET by Debbie Macomber, HEART OF FIRE by Kat Martin & 8 SANDPIPER WAY, by Debbie Macomber
So go ahead -- make your suggestions. I'll add them to the list of names the SiWC Board of Directors is currently considering for 2009.
And good luck!

My Tentative Suggestions...
Oh kc, can we really suggest anyone? I would love to *finally* make it up to SiWC and take classes from all the authors who return each year. Plus, I'd love it if you guys could get Paul Auster (http://www.paulauster.co.uk/) - he was at the Blue Metropolis festival one year here in Montreal, and I missed him!
kcdyer replied on Permalink
Hi Deniz
...it would be great to see you at last! I'll add Paul's name to our list.
And yes, you can suggest anyone. We will consider all suggestions, but bear in mind that this is not just for authors who read -- we are a teaching conference, so we want authors who are willing to share their wisdom and experience, as well as other members of the industry -- agents, editors, publishers, publicists, film-makers...

Shanna Swendson
I want to recommend the fantasy/romance writer Shanna Swendson. I mentioned this briefly on the feedback form this year but the more I read her blog, the more wonderful things I learn from this writer who was previously in marketing.
http://shanna-s.livejournal.com/ is her blog. She covers topics that are useful and interesting to writers - from character archetypes, to the hero's journey and THOSE archetypes, to her latest discussion about the Publishing Doom Loop.
I think she could add a wonderful dimension to the conference and be a valuable speaker.

The chairman of Arkansas' Senate Education Committee is proposing easing the rules on public school student transfers after a federal judge struck down the state's school choice law.
Republican Sen. Johnny Key of Mountain Home on Wednesday proposed amending the state's school choice law to allow students to transfer — unless they're in a district that has a pending desegregation court order or judicial decree.
A federal judge in June struck down the 1989 school choice law, saying race couldn't be the only factor considered in deciding whether students could transfer between districts.
The state is appealing the decision but lawmakers have said they want to look at revising the law during this year's session.

New York, N.Y. – The University of Arizona Wildcat No. 8 men's and women's track and field teams are split up among two meets this weekend. A portion of the Wildcats are competing at the Armory Collegiate Invitational in New York, N.Y. The other group of Wildcats is competing in the Mountain T's Invitational in Flagstaff, Ariz. In New York, Saturday's field events are set to start at 8:45 a.m. EST while the track events will start at 11 a.m. In Flagstaff on Saturday, the heptathlon will start at 8 a.m. MST The field events will begin at 10 a.m. while the running events start at 10:30 a.m.
"I thought the day went really well," Head Coach Fred Harvey said. "We're all really excited to be here at this competition. The whole environment in terms of the intensity of competing here at a historical place like The Armory. Being in New York, having to take the subway to get to the track, it has been a great experience for everyone. Obviously, we have some quality athletes but I think the level of expectations when you compete at a meet like this really go up."
Sophomore Nnenya Hailey clocked a time of 8.29 in the preliminary round of the 60-meter hurdles championship section. That time was the fastest overall in the preliminary round. Sophomore Traci-Lynn Hicks' time of 8.69 in the preliminary round was good for a spot in the semifinal. She clocked a time of 8.77 in the semifinal and failed to advance. In the semifinal, Hailey clocked a time of 8.25; that was good for first place overall in the semifinal round. In the final, Hailey clocked a personal-best time of 8.21 good for first place overall and No. 11 in the country.
"I feel like I ran well today," Hailey said. "I had a goal for the day, to beat the school record, which is 8.17. But, considering where I came from and what I was doing last year, I'm pretty excited with how I ran today. (The warm-up area) was super hot, I've been here before so I knew what to expect but today they had the heat on and there were so many people in there. That was just something I had to overcome, but I think it helped because I was warmer. The races (so close together) wasn't so bad, I actually liked the running closer because I'm still warm and I don't have to do a new warm-up. You have to go through the rounds in college so I loved it, today was a good day. I moved up today in the national rankings, I'm really trying to make it to the NCAA Championships, I've never been in the 60-meter hurdles so that's my goal right now."
Senior Shapri Romero won heat four of the 400-meter sprint championship section with a personal-best time of 52.98. That time is No. 4 in the country on the season. Romero's time was the top preliminary time and was good for a spot in Saturday's final at 4:19 p.m. Senior Tamara Pridgett clocked a time of 56.53 but did not advance to the final. On the men's side, freshman Miles Parish won heat eight and earned the second-fastest time overall at 47.69 in the preliminary round. The final will take place on Saturday at 4:33 p.m.
Junior Shakayla McEaddy, a last-minute addition to the trip, competed in the women's high jump collegiate section and earned a first-place finish with a personal-best clearance of 5-10 (1.78m). That mark is tied for No. 23 in the country. Senior Amber Passalaqua posted a personal-best mark of 19-2.75 (5.86m) in the women's long jump collegiate section. Passalaqua, the pentathlete and New York native, earned a fourth-place finish overall. In the 60-meter hurdles, Passalaqua clocked a time of 8.92, the second-fastest time of her career.
"I was really happy with how the day went," McEaddy said. "One of the girls couldn't make the trip and they chose me to replace her. I wanted to make sure I had a good meet and show them they made a good decision. I've been really close to clearing 5-10 for a while now so to finally get passed that feels good. I'm a little disappointed I didn't clear 5-11.25 (1.81m) but I had some good attempts. I know I can do better and I'll have another chance to improve next week in New Mexico."
In the 60-meter dash championship section, senior Germe Poston clocked a time of 7.50 in the preliminary round. In the semifinal, Poston's time of 7.48 was good for seventh place overall and ties the second-best time of her career. Poston ran in the final and earned a seventh-place finish with a time of 7.49, her third-best time ever. Senior Alyssa Hasslen earned a third-place finish in the women's shot put championship section with a toss of 52-11 (16.13m). Junior Baillie Gibson had a mark of 51-7 (15.72m) and earned a seventh-place finish.
"I'm really excited about where we are going," Harvey said. "Nnenya (Hailey) won the 60-meter hurdles, Shapri Romero being able to come out and run a personal best, Miles Parish ran really well. We had a mishap with the distance medley relay; I'm really disappointed for those ladies. One great story, Shakayla (McEaddy) made this trip, she wasn't originally on the trip but we had some tickets open up, she gets a ticket and she wins the college high jump. That is a great story within itself. We're focused on what we need to do tomorrow and we'll get some good performances under our belt."

|Shin wins Portland City Open
MOSCOW, Idaho - Even though the Idaho men's tennis team didn't have a collegiate tournament to compete in, many of the players took it upon themselves to travel and play in open tournaments in the region last weekend.
Idaho's Alan Shin competed in and won the singles draw at the Portland City Championships, and advanced to the doubles finals with fellow Vandal Andrew Dobbs, before defaulting the finals in order to return to Moscow for class on Monday. The tournament was open to any member of the United States Tennis Association, and included several strong current and former college tennis players.
Abid Akbar, Jose Bendeck, Jake Knox and Kevin Lee traveled to the EWU USTA Campus Showdown, where Akbar advanced to the singles finals. That event was coordinated by the USTA, and allowed junior players, current and former college players and men's open players to compete against each other.
"It is great to see that some of our guys are going out and finding and taking part in additional competition on their own," Idaho coach Jeff Beaman said. "It is also great to see that in addition to the extra experience they are achieving strong results."
The Vandals will wrap up their fall schedule at the PNW Intercollegiate, hosted by the University of Washington, Nov. 5-7.

What to Expect After Radiation Therapy for Bladder Cancer
Because radiation affects normal cells as well as cancer cells, you may have some side effects from this treatment. Usually, the risk of side effects is far less than the benefit of killing cancer cells. Many people have no side effects at all. If you do have them, they relate to the dose of radiation you get and the area of your cancer, and they are generally limited to the area that's been treated.
The side effects of radiation treatment can be unpleasant, but they usually aren't dangerous. Talk with your doctor or nurse about how to control them. Most of these usually go away a few weeks after you stop getting treatment.
Here are some side effects that are common with radiation treatment:
Mild skin irritation where the radiation was given
Bladder irritation caused by the radiation
Diarrhea, due to irritation of the rectum caused by radiation
Urinary incontinence
Impotence in men
Vaginal dryness in women
Nausea or vomiting
Bowel incontinence
It may be helpful to keep a log of your side effect symptoms. A written list will make it easier for you to remember your questions at your appointments. It will also make it much easier for your medical team to identify appropriate treatments for your concerns.
