Statements by PM Netanyahu
6 December 2012
Statements by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a Press Conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Office)
Prime Minister Netanyahu:
Thank you, Angela. Thank you, Chancellor Merkel. I want to thank you for your warm reception to me, and the warm reception of your government to my colleagues, our entire delegation.
I know, and I heard it again yesterday and today, how important to you is the relationship between Israel and Germany. You said it's not just another relationship; it's a special relationship and it's deeply felt, that you deeply feel it. And I appreciate it greatly. I appreciate the time and energy that you're devoting to strengthening this relationship, and I want to take this opportunity to make it absolutely clear that I have no doubt whatsoever about the depth of your commitment to Israel's security and to the well-being of the Jewish state.
We had an opportunity to have an excellent discussion last night, and it continued today. We spoke today about the various realms of cooperation – scientific, economic, academic, cultural – in every possible way between our two countries. But we devoted a great deal of time to the challenges that we face in this rapidly changing Middle East. We spoke about the need to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. We spoke about the need to ensure that Syria's stock of chemical weapons is not used or does not fall into the wrong hands, terrorist hands in this case. We spoke about the need to advance peace with the Palestinians.
Israel remains fully committed to achieving peace with the Palestinians, based on the principle of two states for two peoples, and in this peace, a demilitarized Palestinian state recognizes the Jewish state of Israel. I believe that the only way to achieve such a peace is through direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. I hope that the Palestinians will return to the negotiating table, that they do so without preconditions so that we can work together to forge a secure and lasting peace that address the needs of both Israelis and Palestinians alike.
Today I can say that in those discussions we also put in perspective – that's the way I would put it – we put in perspective, a genuine perspective, a real perspective, the many agreements that we have on all these issues and some others that I haven't mentioned, and put in perspective also the differences of view that we have, and we do have one or two. But I think that the overwhelming feeling that I come out of these talks with is that we have a friend and a partner for peace and security, for security and peace in the Middle East as we seek to give our peoples a hope and a future in the coming decade and decades.
As I said before, the Government-to-Government meeting also enabled us to discuss a variety of other fields in security and trade, in science and agriculture, and many other areas. We're going and opening up area after area for German-Israeli cooperation, and for that and for everything else, I want to thank you, Chancellor Merkel. Thank you.
Questions and Answers
PM Netanyahu:
Thank you.
I explained yesterday to Chancellor Merkel that we have been following the same policy for close to 45 years – that is, all Israeli governments have built in the Jewish neighborhoods of Jerusalem and in what are called the settlement blocs, which are really suburbs of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, where roughly 90% of Israeli citizens live in Judea and Samaria, in these suburbs that are very close to both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. So that's not a new policy, and in this sense from previous governments to me, there's no change and there hasn't been a change.
The second point is about E1: this is a small corridor between one of these suburbs east of Jerusalem – about 40,000 people live there. It's about two miles from Jerusalem. Successive governments from Yitzhak Rabin on down to my predecessor, Mr. Olmert, have also said that this will be incorporated in a final peace treaty between Israel. The curious thing is that most governments who have looked at these suggestions, these proposals over the years - including the Palestinians themselves as revealed in leaked documents - understand that these blocs, these arrangements are going to be part of Israel in a final political settlement of peace.
So I have not changed the policy. This is a consistent policy. My hope is that, as the dust settles, President Abbas decides to abandon unilateralism, as he went to the UN unilaterally – to abandon it, to return to the negotiations. We have our position; they have their positions. The only way to really resolve them is to do what the Chancellor and I did last night, and it's a long process. You have to sit down and you have to discuss these differences and to see if you can come to a resolution. I think, what the Chancellor told me last night, it doesn't happen overnight. It takes time.
Certainly between friends we can have disagreements, but we our friendship is solid and we understand that. With adversaries or former adversaries, it takes more time, but you can't finish a negotiation unless you start it. And Israel was and remains prepared to begin such direct negotiations without preconditions.
…Prime Minister Netanyahu, we heard last week in Israel that somebody in the Foreign Ministry said after the vote in the UN that we lost Europe. Is that your conviction? And if so, how do you get Europe back? Thank you very much.
Thank you. I don't think we lost Europe when we have virtually universal support for our defensive operation in Gaza against the rocketing of our civilians by Palestinian terrorists. I think there was virtually universal support. There is obviously a difference of view in Europe on the issue of settlements because most Europeans believe that the issue, the root cause of our conflict with the Palestinians is the settlements. The settlements issue is one that has to be resolved in negotiations, but it is not the root cause of our conflict because this conflict was waged from the areas adjacent to Israel for 50 years before there was a single settlement.
The attempt to wipe out the Jewish state was conducted from 1920 to 1967, 47 years, when there wasn't a singer Israeli settlement or a single Israeli soldier in the West Bank or in Gaza. Having departed these territories, for example from Gaza, the attacks continue on Israel. Why? Why are they rocketing Israel? We left Gaza. The answer is that those who oppose Israel, oppose Israel in any boundary. If it was merely a territorial question, we would have resolved it long ago. And I believe that we still have to exhaust the possibility that we'll have a partner who really wants a territorial solution and is not existentially opposed to Israel's presence there in any boundary. I think the root cause is not the settlements; it's an issue to be resolved.
The root cause is the opposition to the State of Israel in any border. I hope that we can engage at least part of the Palestinian people in a discussion about mutual coexistence, about mutual peace, about two states for two peoples, about a Jewish state living next to a Palestinian state, about security borders for Israel. This is our task.
Now, I haven't given up on it, and I'll tell you the best proof that I haven't given up on that and in trying to persuade fair-minded, decent people and decent leaders in Europe, the best proof that I believe that that is a worthwhile and achievable objective is that fact that I am here and will continue to work with Chancellor Merkel and with her government, to see how we can advance this realistic peace. We don't give up so quickly, on anything.
Yes, my question to Madam Chancellor first: Is Germany considering any other steps against Israel if Israel does continue with settlement expansion? And my question to Prime Minister Netanyahu, if you're willing, in Hebrew please, can you explain what caused this change of position within Europe in only two weeks?
Yes, is Germany considering any further steps if Israel does continue with settlement expansion?
Thank you. I think there is a lot of room for discussion and for seeking new ideas, because we haven't been able to break the mold. I suppose there is frustration in Europe that we haven't resolved the Palestinian problem, but remember that there have been six Israeli Prime Ministers since Oslo who have been unable to sign a peace accord with the Palestinian Authority, and it's not because of lack of trying from Yitzhak Rabin, through Shimon Peres, through myself to Ehud Barak and then Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert. Believe me, there were many generous offers that were given. Sometimes I think that, in their desire to see a quick fix to the problem, many European governments can be frustrated but, as I said, I never lack the patience or the willingness to discuss with any fair-minded and decent leaders, and there are quite a few, to discuss the facts: how often we have been prepared to sit down the Palestinians and negotiate; what kind of steps Israel has taken, including my own government, for the sake of advancing peace. I think that the more people look at this and we actually have a discussion, then they see that maybe there's a timidity on the Palestinian side, that they have not yet engaged in these kinds of direct negotiations, and as I say, the most important thing is that that peace will not be decided, not in the United Nations in New York, and not in Europe. It will be decided between Jerusalem and Ramallah, and the only way to advance that is to have those direct negotiations.
…And Prime Minister, are you less disappointed about the German abstention now that you talked to the Chancellor?
If you'd read the full quote, it began actually with my expression of appreciation for Chancellor Merkel's forthright support for Israel in our recent operation in Gaza, and by the way, it made a difference. I think it also helped us achieve a ceasefire, that kind of strong international support, which I thought it was very valuable. I then said that, even though I was disappointed with the German abstention, I knew that what guided Chancellor Merkel was her belief that this would somehow advance peace. My own comment is that the resolution, notwithstanding the intent, hardens Palestinian positions and may make it more difficult to enter into the direct negotiations that we all wish for. But I have no doubt about Chancellor Merkel's commitment to Israel – none whatsoever.

Vintage Train Party (27 photos)

I knew I was going to have a train themed party for Fin's 3rd Birthday during Fin's 2nd birthday party when the obsession became most obvious {while opening his gifts and saying "coo coo" over and over!}. The boy loves his "coo coos" {still doesn't have that cha sound down!} So, what's a mama to do! Yeah yeah, he loves his Thomas, like the rest of 'em, but he really loves any locomotive that makes a chugga chugga sound! So, I came up with a vintage train themed party.
Each guest received a Ticket to ride the Finley Express! With spaces to punch the month and day, each guest found when the Train was boarding, err, the party was starting! An interactive Ticket made guest's excited for a fun and nostalgic Train party experience!
At the party, a set of train tracks leading up to the front door, with kid-size Railroad Crossing signs was a sure hit! The birthday boy wore a custom designed t-shirt, using the designs from the printable party package. Red balloons, red & white polkadot paper, red bandanas and train tracks dressed up our house nicely. Each lil' Finley-Express-Passenger received a mini kraft bag filled with Railroad Essentials... a red bandana, wooden train whistle and a custom-wrapped box of crayons. Each bag was labeled with a personalized name tag, and sat nicely in front of a personalized printable banner! Delicious, individually packaged and custom-labeled train cookies were the perfect party favor for guests both young and old! Every detail, down to the water and juice boxes, tied into the look of the party! With custom-designed paper wraps, I was able to spice up something simple, like a bottle of water, and make it just a little more! At the "Hydration Station", printable party tags, signs, wraps & labels tied in all the details. Food label tent cards are a great way of bringing the theme of the party throughout, down to the food! I had so much fun coming up with fun, train-themed lingo for each label... Pumping Pistons Popcorn, Fizzling Fireboxes Fruit, Bubbling Boilers Boilers Birthday cake, to name a few!

Do you know what does and does not constitute a material alteration?
In the last few weeks, several clients have discussed large renovation projects which, unbeknownst to them, include material alterations requiring membership approval. In a Florida condominium, a material alteration or substantial addition to the common elements requires the approval of at least 75% of the total membership pursuant to the Condominium Act unless a lower percentage is specified in the Declaration of Condominium. Cooperative and homeowners' association boards similarly need to check their governing documents as well as the statutes governing them to determine the threshold needed to approve a material alteration or substantial addition.
Of course, the overarching question is what exactly constitutes a material alteration or substantial addition? You would be surprised at the answers you get when you ask people living in associations that question. Let's take a quick quiz and see how adept you are at spotting a material alteration.
Which of the following constitutes a material alteration in a Florida condominium?
a) Changing the roof from flat tile to barrel tile
b) Replacing old carpeting in the lobby with marble
c) Removing a large tree in the common park
d) Replacing the pool deck surface from Chattahoochee to stone
e) Changing the shuffleboard court to an outdoor seating area
f) Changing out old light fixtures to new energy-efficient LED lighting
g) Changing the paint color in the hallways from beige to light gray
Your potential answers are:
a) All of the above
b) None of the above
c) Everything except c and f
d) Everything except f
The answer is (drum-roll) all of the above constitute material alterations or substantial additions. Some of the above may not need a membership vote if the replacement material for the pool deck, for example, is needed because the original pool deck surface is no longer manufactured. Also, if a large tree is dead and requires removal, typically safety and security concerns trump the necessary material alteration vote. County or city mandates to undertake certain projects also will take priority. Still, each situation and proposed alteration is different so it is crucial that your board consult with your attorney to discuss whether or not your project requires membership approval prior to moving forward.

Familes for Conscious Living
I am a former Bradley Childbirth Educator, who is constantly adding to my knowledge of childbirth and pregnancy issues. I offer private classes that stress the importance of proper nutrition in the development of a healthy pregnancy for mother and baby. I also focus on preparation for birth that follows the 'Birthing from Within' ideas found within that book. These include a great deal of inner seeking to uncover subconscious blocks and fears, communication problems with your spouse or other significant persons in your life and more. We will tailor information and techniques for birthing naturally within hospital or home that emphasize relaxation and the attentive support of a husband or other 'coach.' I believe strongly in prudent consumerism and critical thinking for parents-to-be, and can assist you in understanding the relevant terminology, anatomy and pro/con information about the various interventions that often take place. If you have any faith in your body or the totally natural process that surrounds most pregnancies and births, I can help take you through the maze to a wonderful and empowering finish--the beautiful and peaceful birth of your child! I offer various length classes and intensity, but please expect to invest a minimum of 8 weeks of regular class time together.

I am a mother of four grown children, grandmother of two, Doula and Childbirth Educator. My life's work has been devoted to women and children.
In 2001 I trained and certified with DONA (Doulas of North America) and started my independent Doula service. Over the last six years I have worked with women and their partners in preparing them for their birthing experience. I found as I worked with couples that they were often unprepared for many aspects of the birthing experience, especially in a hospital environment. I found myself adding more and more information to present at my meetings with the couple as I visited them as a doula. It became apparent to me that there is a great need for birth education outside of the hospital environment. So in 2006, I trained and certified with Lamaze® International and now teach group classes in my community and also private classes in people's homes.
I believe that pregnant and laboring women are healthy people, and birth is a normal body function. That a woman's body is intelligent enough to make a human being and in turn knows how to birth one. I enjoy working with woman and their partners as they learn about birth, their bodies and their inner wisdom. I have been honored throughout the years to watch these families grow as they participate in a depth of joy that can only be found in mothering and fathering. Witnessing and sharing in that joy is truly beautiful.

Serving Greenwich/Stamford
through Westport, CT and
southern Westchester County, NY
HypnoBirthing® is a philosophy as much as it is an education in childbirth. You will learn self-hypnosis techniques that will make your birth faster, safer, and more comfortable. While most births last between 12-14 hours, the average HypnoBirthing® birth lasts 3 to 5 hours and reduces the need for drugs and medical intervention by 75%. HypnoBirthing also reduces breech presentation by 67% and results in substantially fewer Cesarean sections. How can this be? When a person reacts to fearful thoughts, the birthing body literally slows down in order to redirect blood away from the uterus and outward to the extremities. This causes "failure to progress", which not only slows labor, but causes the birthing body to counter-react by bringing on more intense surges. With HypnoBirthing®, you will learn the practical and mental techniques to remain calm, thoroughly relaxed and fully empowered. Statistics based on 496 births last year show that about 100% of HypnoBirthing® moms report to being "very satisfied" with their HypnoBirthing® birth experience. Discover HypnoBirthing®, and discover a safer, easier, more joyful and empowering method of childbirth.
Cynthia Overgard discovered HypnoBirthing® when she was 7 months pregnant. Despite her baby's large size of 8 lbs. 14 oz., Cynthia birthed her son gently and easily in just 3-1/2 hours. Her son was born without drugs or medical intervention of any kind in a free-standing birth center in Connecticut. Cynthia is certified by the HypnoBirthing® Institute. The course is 5 sessions, either in small groups or private classes in your own home. Classes are always forming, and are typically held evenings or weekends.

Eubanks: McIlroy must fully commit to game
Rory McIlroy struggled again Friday, and people again are asking what's wrong. The short answer, says Steve Eubanks, is that nothing is wrong that a little more maturity and focus won't fix.
By Steve Eubanks, PGA.com
Another major, another uncomfortable battery of questions for a young man on whom so many great expectations have been heaped.
Rory McIlroy struggled again, following up his solid opening round 67 at Royal Lytham & St. Annes with a not-very-good 75 on Friday to just squeak into the weekend.
He hadn't made it to the 18th green yet when the murmurs of "What's wrong with Rory?" filtered through the golf world.
The short answer is: Nothing is wrong that a little more maturity and focus won't fix. Certainly, McIlroy has had difficulty finding his footing on the major stage since capturing the U.S. Open at Congressional 13 long months ago.
He shot 74-75 on the weekend in Sandwich last year to finish tied for 25th, and then almost broke his wrist on a tree root at Atlanta Athletic Club in the PGA Championship. His weekend at Augusta National this year was even worse. He shot 77-76 that Saturday and Sunday in April after playing himself into contention in the first two rounds.
But at least he got to play that weekend. In San Francisco, he went home early, missing the cut at the U.S. Open a year after his record-setting win.
The silver lining for McIlroy is the fact that his swing mechanics are fine. Unlike the slump Tiger Woods has clawed his way out of -- where his focus was poor but his golf swing was worse -- McIlroy continues to swing the club beautifully. His effortless power is a model to be studied and mimicked.
His problem is his focus, or lack thereof.
After his Friday round, he said, "I wasn't committing to my tee shots and it was two minds a few times about what shots to hit off tees. I just really (have to) commit to it and try to get the ball in the fairway."
Commitment is difficult when you're 23 years old and you already have a major championship trophy and a beautiful, rich, famous girlfriend at home; when your every step is covered by the British tabloids like you're Mick Jagger and your every swing is analyzed like the Zapruder film.
But commitment and focus are what McIlroy needs if he is to reach the full potential of his talent. He will have to learn to tune out all the distractions around him and create an insular world where only he and his confidence reside.
Arnold Palmer was able to focus and commit and still maintain a great on-course relationship with his fans. Jack Nicklaus was so focused that his sons would have to remind him to wave to the cheering crowds as he walked by. Tiger's focus is legendary, much to the consternation of his fellow competitors, while Phil Mickelson often lets his need to try thrilling shots distract him from the commitment he has to score.
McIlroy has two more days to redeem himself at Lytham. But he will need to change his thinking.
After Friday's round he said, "I felt like I was hitting the ball pretty good on the range. I was losing a few to the left, so maybe that's why I was trying to protect that one and maybe why I missed a couple to the right early on."
The lesson he needs to learn has nothing to do with the golf swing. What he will have to do to win again is realize that "maybe" won't cut it in major championships. On this stage, only full commitment will do.

I don't know if you are old enough to remember hearing of Mrs Jordan the great comic actress?1 I once saw her, when I was six years old. At all events you are old enough to have heard of King William! Well, the man who drew these clever little pictures is a grandson2 of these two people, and takes I suppose his comic talent from the actress-grandmother. … I fell very ill again … and have been all these months confined to two rooms, coughing, and not sleeping, and very weak and dull. So, since my return from Scotland in the beginning of October, up to nearly the present time, I have had only a

fortnight (about Xmas) free from colds! The weather is now very favourable for the like of me, and I have been out a few times. But instead of walking twelve miles at a stretch, as was my practice, I now think much of twelve yards! My cough is nearly quite gone however, and I have no other ailment but weakness. In such a long confinement, I found consuming my own smoke3 about as much as I was up to. That I must certainly have managed to do; for Mr Carlyle has paid me so many compliments on my 'patience'! and compliment is not in Mr C's line.

Although Katie McGee won't continue leading Brunswick County Schools after June 30, 2010, she isn't ready to hang up her career as a superintendent.
"I'm not through being a school superintendent," she said. "The next chapter in my life, I hope I'll have the opportunity to do what I did here 10 years ago. That is to go into a school district and continue to lead one."
OCEAN ISLE BEACH—The Ocean Isle Beach Board of Commissioners received two bids from parties interested in purchasing the ABC store and property, but due to budget constraints, the sale has been put on hold.
"I think we're just going to have to put this off until we can come up with some better solutions," commissioner Dean Walters said Tuesday during the board's monthly meeting.
The cooler days of fall make for great working weather with the lower temperatures and humidity. For many who hail from colder climes, pruning trees and shrubs is on the list of chores, but our erratic fall and winter temperatures make heavy fall pruning a bad idea.
Many gardeners like to have a list of things to do for the start of each month. Hopefully, they will be able to check off the list before the month is up and this will provide them with a sense of accomplishment.
Others need to have a list just to remind them of gardening things to do before the weather sets in and it is too late. Whatever the reasons, you need to tack a list to the refrigerator as a reminder. I offer these suggestions for things to do this month:
Gardening tips for October
From motor oil to bird droppings to pesticides, pollutants have to go somewhere when it rains. Usually it's a quick trip to a nearby stream, river or lake. But it doesn't have to be.
As the population increases, and there's more growth, there are more rooftops and driveways. The water has to go somewhere. In most cases, it goes directly into a stream really fast with whatever is in it.
Sherri Leigh Balkcum of Sunset Beach and Michael Dean Woolard of Sunset Beach were married Aug. 28 at the Brunswick County Courthouse, with magistrate Doug Todd officiating.
The bride is the daughter of Sandra Boseman of Rocky Mount and the late William Boseman and Earle and Jewel Balkcum of Ocean Isle Beach.
She was given in marriage and escorted by her father.
The groom is the son of Anna Oglesby of Rocky Mount and the late James Woolard.
Christy Scott of Ash served as matron of honor, and Carl Scott of Ash served as best man.
Stacey Hewett of Shallotte and Jordan Scott McCumbee of Ash were married Sept. 5 at Premier Resorts, Barefoot Landing, in North Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Minister Jeffrey Britton officiated the ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of Ed and Debbie Lemon of Shallotte and Jimmy and Pam Hewett of Ocean Isle Beach.
The groom is the son of Dewayne and Marian McCumbee of Ash.
The bride was given in marriage by her parents and escorted by her father.
Tabitha and Brian Townsend of Ash are the parents of a daughter, Riley-Grace Caroline Townsend, born at 9:48 a.m. Sept. 30 at Brunswick Community Hospital.
She weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces and measured 21 inches long. She joins sisters Brooke Leigh, 6, and Hailee, 4.
Maternal grandfather is Rex Inman of Ash.
Paternal grandparents are Brenda Yovanoich of Polkton and the late Bobby Stewart Townsend.
Weeks have now elapsed since my unfortunate fall. And all is not yet well.
My first response to the dilemma was quite positive, I believe. Adjustment to being joined at the hip to an obliging mate came with a fair degree of ease. I convinced myself the persistent presence would be both beneficial and reassuring. I could do this. It might take some effort, but it was not beyond my reach... or stretch.

Antony Taylor Leads The Way To Victory In Minuteman Invitational
Sept. 16, 2012
AMHERST, Mass. - It was Antony Taylor that had the best race in the Minuteman Invitational, finishing the course in 24:20.90. Taylor paved the way for the rest of UMass and led them to their second first place finish overall of the 2012 season. UMass would place one, four and five to solidify a victory with 39 points while Stonehill College came in second as a team, due to great pack running in order to place nine through 13, with their lead man coming in third. Stonehill finished the day with 45 total points.
The closest to the sophomore Antony Taylor at the front of the pack was UConn's Ryan McGuire who came in at 24:24 37. Rounding off the top three of the meet was Ethan Penny who placed first for Stonehill College and had a time of 24:26.42. Two experienced Minutemen took the four and five spots to reign in the victory, those being junior Patrick McGowan and senior John O'Shea. The two finished just two seconds apart, McGowan coming in at 24:27.16 and O'Shea with a time of 24:29.38. After McGowan and O'Shea finished there wouldn't be another Minuteman to cross the finish line until the 24:58.40 mark when Michael Giardina placed 14th overall and fourth for the team. Giardina had Paul Merriman right behind him, finishing the UMass course in 25:00.21.
Next week the Minutemen will travel to Eugene, Oregon for the Dellinger Invitational on September 29. The Minutemen will look to finish September perfect after placing first overall in week one in a slight victory over Maine and claiming the top spot again tonight over Stonehill College, UConn, Amherst College and Keene State.

Most people realize when they're tired and look in the mirror that they don't look their best. But when you're well rested, happy, sailing through your day - check yourself out in the mirror and really take stock of how you look. Louise Hay even teaches something called, "mirror work" so you can learn a lot about yourself and how you feel by looking in the mirror.
My previous article on this top - click here, conveys how when you're happy and rested how much better you'll look, and how much less the busy-ness of your day (stress) will affect you.
If you stay up too late on a weeknight, overeat try to cram too much into your day, it can really take a toll on you!
Natural beauty means, taking care of yourself - putting yourself first.
- Meditate / pray (get some quality alone time)
- Breathe more deeply - you'd be surprised how this helps you let go of stress
- Exercise more: try stretching, yoga, dancing (all kinds), tai chi, qigong, pilates, running, skating, hoola-hooping, planking, or jumping on a trampoline
- Eat healthy, consciously enjoying all the foods you eat :)
- Be kind to your body: try massage, getting a facial, going for a pedicure, colonics
- Set healthy boundaries (at home and at work)
- Smile - even a fake smile for 20 minutes a day has been studied and proven to improve mood, lifting depression too!
- Learn to say no to "too many" requests - without the guilt (you don't have to solve the world's problems); If some activity doesn't directly impact you or your family - let it go
- Laugh - really laugh out loud! It's wonderful for your belly ;) Actually and honestly enjoy (In Joy) your days
- Be loving; Be in love - if not with someone else, then with yourself!
- Make work fun (I know that may not be easy unless you "love" your job) but somehow just find new ways to incorporate more joy into your work (more on that in another article, so stay tuned and FOLLOW me!)
Think about how having your job increases your joy, because you have a paycheck, work inside - maybe you have a "sit down" job or, work outside - and get exercise while getting paid and can breathe in the fresh air all day!
Eating lots of veggies can help too! And living in Central Florida you have ample farmers markets to to shop at where local fresh fruits and vegetables can be had fairly inexpensively. Google all of the wonderful antioxidant properties of dark green leafy vegetables for starters.
Kale is one of the best green vegetables - and you can hide it in many creative ways: add to soups, or add to smoothies. The fresher it is, the sweeter it tastes. I like to chop it very small and add raw garlic and onions with some oil and vinegar. If that's not enough I add a scoop of hummus and some other raw sliced veggies and take it for lunch. You can also add kale to homemade blended juices, smoothies, or soups to boost nutritional benefits - and hide it so your family won't even know its there! I love to buy large leaf kale (among other things) at Nature's Food Patch in Clearwater, FL.
Also, consume plenty of fresh citrus and juice - I buy a half gallon of tangerine juice and a half gallon of red grapefruit juice every Saturday at Florida Citrus Country in Seminole, FL. It's okay if you're not local - they'll ship to you!
Get a massage - the increase in blood circulation will also improve your look and feel. There are many different kinds of massage - some are designed to provide you an energy boost, some to relax, and many aid in therapeutic detoxification for your body. There are many licensed massage therapists (LMTs) near you - just Google search for them!
Get a colonic. Colonics help to detoxify your body and can improve skin tone and texture. My next visit will be with Pura Vida Wellness spa in Pinellas Park, FL.
You're skin is the largest organ in your body so when you're skin shows signs of aging or other problems, there can be a lot more going on underneath the surface. I think of my skin as my barometer to know what's going on inside of my body. Vibrant skin = great internal health! Google about "fingernails" - even your nails can tell you a lot about what's going on with your health (which is another reason I abhor those fake fingernails but that's another story that I need to write about).
Colonics may also provide other benefits such as: boosting your immune system, resolving gas, bloating, getting rid of parasites (and parasites are more than just worms), and other digestive issues.
There are many ways to naturally increase beauty - even small changes can have a big impact for your health, happiness, and well being.
Be kind to your body. And it will return aWEsOMe benefits to you!
Take it upon yourself to be healthy, joyful, vibrant, and beautiful. Be who you want to be.

The New York Jets, as expected, claimed receiver Braylon Edwards off waivers after he was officially released by the Seattle Seahawks.
The extremely thin at receiver Jets look to be extremely thick-skinned as well, willing to bring back a known problem player who just called the Jets brass "idiots' only a week ago.
But then again, the Jets are mathematically still in the playoff hunt, and there's no time for grudges.
They could conceivably run the table and finish at a respectable 9-7, but they will need help.
Edwards could come in and help immediately. Having already built a good rapport with QB Mark Sanchez, he could become a big contributor as he was in 2010, when he had 904 yards receiving and seven touchdowns.
"It feels great to be going home," Edwards tweeted. "Thanks to all of Jet Nation that continuously supported me and pushed for me. I'm back and it's go time."

College Hockey:MacArthur Parks Two In Terrier Win
No. 19 BU Tops No. 6 Vermont, 4-2
BOSTON — On a night when Vermont coach Kevin Sneddon missed the game because his wife was in labor, Boston University coach Jack Parker was the one ready to hand out cigars when the evening was over.
In an exciting battle in front of a boisterous sellout crowd of 6,138 at Agganis Arena, the No. 19 Terriers beat the previously undefeated and sixth-ranked Catamounts 4-2, as Peter MacArthur scored a pair of goals for the victors. John Curry stopped 19 of 21 shots, including several in the waning minutes as Vermont had temporary five-on-three, six-on-three, and six-on-four advantages to no avail.
Senior right wing Brady Leisenring notched a goal and an assist for the Catamounts, while Eric Thomassian and Brandon Yip each scored for the Terriers.
"It was almost a tale of three different games." Parker said. "The first game was wide-open; it was like a track meet: just up and down, up and down with opportunities for both clubs. Not great opportunities shooting-wise, but a lot of territorial things that looked like they would develop into something because of the speed of the game.
"I thought the second period was all us: We played extremely well, only gave up two shots. Played pretty smart, killing off a penalty, looking pretty good. We got a lot better with the D-zone coverage speed-wise to the puck.
"The third period I thought we were very much in control until we started taking stupid penalties: a too many men penalty; a penalty when we just pushed a guy in the head, and you're going to get a penalty on any kind of hit above the shoulders-we know that, and we took a penalty there. We had a five-on-three, six-on-three, six-on-four. And that's when John Curry really stood tall."
Assistant Coach Damian Digulian filled in for Sneddon. "Early on the first ten minutes I thought we came out and puck-watched quite a bit, let their momentum carry them and sat around watching," Digulian said. "Then after that we got our feet under us a little bit. But overall tonight we got away from the things that have made us successful so far this year blocking shots, backchecking hard, playing hard along the boards, etcetera. I think we just got away from Catamount hockey for the evening, and they took advantage of it. They played very, very well tonight."
An excellent Terrier forecheck produced the first BU goal. Jason Lawrence stole the puck in the left-wing end before centering to Thomassian in the slot. The junior centerman patiently picked a spot and beat Catamount goalie Joe Fallon with a wrister high on the glove side.
"I think he's playing much better, and I think this was the best game he's had," Parker said of Thomassian. "Not just because he got a goal but because he's much more poised with the puck, and he's playing harder defensively. He's not worried about his position and whether he's going to stay in the lineup. I think that's what was making him jumpy all the time, thinking 'If I make a mistake, I'm not going to play.'"
"Coach Parker and Coach [Mike] Boyle challenged me last spring," Thomassian said. "We had a pretty long conversation after the season ended about where I needed to go and where I was at. It helped me turn around pretty fast."
Less than two minutes later, BU notched a power-play goal for a promising 2-0 lead. After good sustained pressure on the man advantage, Kevin Schaeffer and Danny Spang who were "absolutely fabulous all night" according to Parker worked the puck around from the left point to MacArthur in the right-wing faceoff circle.
"We just had a great power play: moved the puck around really well, their penalty killers never really had a chance to set up because we kept moving the puck really quick," MacArthur said. "Schaeffer gave me a one-timer; I don't think Fallon knew it was coming. It just squeaked by."
Just when things were looking great for the home team, Vermont tied it when BU was caught off-guard on a 100-foot pass from Slavomir Tomko to Leisenring, setting up the breakaway and goal and 16:56. Then after a too many men bench minor Vermont struck again with just ten seconds left in the period, as Ryan Gunderson tipped in a shot by Jamie Sifers for his first goal of the season.
BU regained momentum early in the second, though, off an innocuous-looking play. "The second one was a broken play, first shift of the second period," MacArthur said. "I was coming in late; Boomer was trying to make a move and got poke checked. I picked it up just inside the blue line, and there was traffic in front, so I let one go, and luckily it found the back of the net."
"The goal he got is a typical Peter MacArthur goal," Parker said. "It's almost like the goalie's saying 'Hey, I didn't know you were going to shoot it: Tell me when you're going to shoot it next time, will you?' He's amazingly quick at getting his shot off, and he seems to disguise it. We've seen him get a number of goals from 40 feet because the goalie wasn't quite ready for it."
The crowd chanted for a penalty shot at 15:14 of the period when Tomko dove to knock down Yip on a breakaway. Referee Scott Hansen should have awarded one but instead just called a penalty.
At 18:51 of the period, John Laliberte got the puck behind the goal line and skated around to the right-wing side before teeing up a soft wrister by Brandon Yip to make it 4-2.
It stayed that way despite several foolish Terrier penalties in the last five minutes, forcing John Curry to come up big late in the game. Earlier, he stymied Leisenring on a partial breakaway after the winger stole the puck from Yip for a shorthanded bid. "He won it for us just like he did a lot last year," MacArthur said. "It's great to have that kind of confidence in your goaltender; it really changes the whole team when you know the guy between the pipes is going to make those three or big saves in a game."
Parker also praised captain Brad Zancanaro, a fixture on the ice through the many lopsided man advantages late in the game, and Matt Gilroy, who had "a hell of a night."
With the win, Jack Parker became the first coach to win 300 Hockey East games. "If I was going to try to rank this game on a scale of 1 to 10, it would be hard to," Parker admitted. "At times we were absolutely terrific, and we'd be a 10 or 11. But there were a few times when I thought, 'What are they thinking out there?' We went brain-dead a few times, and we got away with it tonight."
BU (2-2-0, 2-1-0) travels to Maine next for a Sunday afternoon game, while Vermont (7-1-0, 1-1-0) is off until Friday, when they'll host Providence.

Types of Kitchen Cabinets
The world, like the human body, is roughly two-thirds water. In the world of kitchen remodels, cabinets are like water on the Earth; they make up a large percentage of usable space. OK, so maybe that analogy wasn't exactly mind-blowing, but it exemplifies the importance of cabinetry in kitchen design.
In choosing cabinet materials and styles, the first step is choosing a cabinet type. Those overwhelmed by the many choices in cabinet styles will be happy to hear that there are primarily two types of cabinets. In general, cabinets are either face-frame or frameless. If you're ordering custom-built cabinets, that choice will be the first.
To Frame…
Face-frame cabinets are the most common design in American kitchens. This type has a frame built around the front of the cabinet box. Often, the cabinet box will actually encase several cabinets in a single run. The frames covering the edges of the box are typically 2.5" wide (3/4" thick) and the cabinet doors mount directly onto this face. The face facilitates a gap between doors of typically 1 to 1.5".
Face-frame and frameless cabinets also use different hinges and often different drawer slides. Hinges are usually mounted directly onto the face, so they're more decorative in appearance.
...Or Not To Frame
Frameless cabinets are also called European-style cabinets and are easily identified by the relative lack of a gap between doors. European cabinets don't come in one large cabinet box, but rather each cabinet is framed separately. So, the cabinet installer will install one cabinet at a time, affixing each frame to the frame before it. Instead of one 120" box, you'll get four 30" boxes.
The cabinet doors install directly to the cabinet box, so the hinges are concealed. Typically, a 1/8" gap between doors is maintained throughout. This gap, plus the concealed hinges, are really the only visible differences between face-framed and frameless cabinetry after installation.
Or Both?
There are cabinets that combine both face-frame and European cabinet types. The combination, somewhat non-creatively called Face-Frame European cabinetry, is made distinct by the type of hinge used. Manufacturers designed a concealed hinge that could be used with face-framed cabinets.
In the Door
While the type of cabinet door does not necessarily define the type of cabinet, there are two types worth mentioning. By and large, the majority of cabinet doors are overlay doors. In other words, the door operates based on its impact with the cabinet frame. But there are also inset doors, which mount so that the outside of the door is flush with the outside of the cabinet face. Of course, a concealed hinge is used, but inset doors can be used with face-frame cabinets as well.

4Culture, Artist Trust and the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture are pleased to announce the findings of the first ARTISTS UP pilot program, a three-agency collaborative initiative to better serve all artists throughout Seattle, King County and Washington State. In 2013, ARTISTS UP launched a pilot program for Latina/o artists consisting of a two-part information series and a community focus group. The information sessions were designed to demystify funding programs and processes, share best-practices through peer learning and build connections between artists and funders. The focus group gathered more in-depth information about how the organizations' funding programs could better serve Latina/o artists as well as other communities in the future.
Although Latinos make up 12% of Washington State's population, 9% of King County's population, and 7% of the City of Seattle's, significantly fewer Latino artists apply for grants from the ARTISTS UP agencies.
The pilot ARTISTS UP information series reached close to 40 Latina/o potential new artist applicants; for most this was their first face-to-face meeting with a funder. Among the finding was the need for networking and mentorship opportunities and a "hub" that can serve to connect Latina/o artists. Personal connections with other artists, especially for newcomers to the area, are crucial for participation. The three funders have begun to respond to the report findings by making incremental improvements and removing barriers to access. The Office of Arts and Culture has started to provide childcare at workshops, 4Culture has revised their upcoming artists projects criteria to be more in line with how artists work, and all three organizations are planning a mixer event to follow up with the Latino/a community.
An executive summary and the complete report is available at http://artistsup.org/resources.
Next Steps
The ARTISTS Up initiative will continue in 2014 with two informal sessions for the Asian/Asian American and African/African American artist communities in late spring or early summer. These events will be led by peer artists ambassadors to provide networking and mentoring support. The gatherings will continue to reach artists with little to no history with the funding organizations. The goal of these sessions will be to provide artists with the information, tools and encouragement to apply for funding and to build relationships with the funders as well as establish stronger connections to fellow artists.
ARTISTS UP is a unique collaboration between two government agencies and a non-profit organization that share an interest in establishing a multi-year work plan to make their funding programs accessible to more artists and better serve the communities of Seattle, King County and Washington State.

The downside to lionizing our pop-culture heroes for playing through pain—whether it's Dirk Nowitzki playing in the NBA finals with the flu or Jessie J serving as house artist during the VMAs with a bum leg—is that it encourages them to attempt to do so, even when doing so is a really, really bad idea. So it was with Rick Ross when he went back in the air in an attempt to make his Friday night gig in Memphis, despite having suffered a seizure on board a flight earlier that very day. It was a gesture of professionalism that fans won't quickly forget, but if he had died or been more permanently incapacitated when he had a second seizure aboard the jet, it obviously wouldn't have nearly been a price worth paying.
It's doubtful anyone in Atlanta will be terribly downtrodden, then, at the news that Rozay will be canceling his gig at the Tabernacle this Friday night, as the rapper continues to recuperate from his genuinely terrifying health scares. "We are disappointed he had to cancel, but completely understand that Rick Ross needs to take care of [himself] at this time" said concerts director George F. Baker III in a statement. "We hope he is better soon." As undoubtedly do we—after the last couple of years he's had, creeping his way into the hip-hop subconscious like no one outside of Young Money's Big Three, it's almost impossible to imagine pop culture in his absence.

Fraps & DayZ
Just wondering what settings you run to record DayZ with FRAPS.
What key did you bind recording to?
How much space are you using for your recordings?
I use PlayClaw to record, I did experiment with Fraps before making that choice but I found that it had way fewer options and the file sizes were a lot bigger.. so I went with PlayClaw.
To give you an idea of file sizes... around 40 mins of DayZ is about 8.5Gb recorded at 1920x1080 @30 fps. However, this was at night... I wouldn't be surprised if the compression (MJPEG) is no where near as good during the day. With Fraps... I'm betting it's going to be heaps higher cause as far as I can tell it outputs it pretty much raw.
These are my settings:
The files can get very large. I went a bought a 2T drive just to store my raw FRAPS footage while recording. For 1.5 hours of recorded footage, my file sizes are around 200G.
30 mins of recorded footage, can be 60G upwards.
Once I finish recording, I get rid of the files where there was no action. The ones I want, I go and create the clips I want with Sony Vegas, and then dump the raw file once I am finished with it.
The "Full Size" setting will give you HD results. But if you are concerned about file size, then go with "half size", and you could even reduce the FPS number to record at, to reduce the amount of data recorded. The end result will be that your video will not be as detailed in picture quality.
The reason I use Num+ for recording, is that I use TrackIR for freelook and zoom. You may wish to consider an alternative hotkey, as the Num+ key is the zoom key in Arma 2, and could cause problems if you use that key often to zoom. Your recording will be constantly stopping and starting.:shock:
Thanks for the help! I might checkout Play Claw and see how that goes.
I also might have a play around with Key combo to start & stop. Thanks!
i like to use MSI Afterburner, this program doesnt kill your FPS like Fraps does.
i record games at 80% quality 720p and 35 frames/sec, and an hour of recording takes upto 15gb of space :D
here is a sample of the video on these settings
I use Bandicam for all my recordings. Bandicam usually compresses reasonably well but I also usually run the files through HandBrake with custom settings for YouTube afterwards to get the file size even smaller.
I chose Bandicam over Fraps because of the compression; the ability to record the screen as well as applications; and that it didn't impact my FPS too much.
While recording DayZ I did run into some problems with recording so I wound back my version and haven't had the issue since.
A half hour recording at 720P, 25fps is usually about 3 to 4 Gb. Once they are processed through HandBrake the files are usually between 600 and 700 Mb. To put this in perspective, the files recorded from Bandicam are about 10% the size from Fraps. The Handbrake processed files are about 2% the size of the Fraps files.
I've used Bandicam for over a year now and love it. :)
I'm with ironside with this one.
I use MSI Afterburner too... also use a French program called Handbrake to do compression to MP4 so i can upload to Youtube. The settings can be modified so that the quality is better, the first one i did was just standard default settings. I opened handbrake, loaded the file and just compressed - didn't come out too badly.
this was 1360X768 res (i modify my BF3 ui to bring my mpa closer to the centre of my screen... as my screen is 32 inches) and done with the default settings - it was a 2 gig file compressed in 271MB for youtube upload.
EDIT: whoops... url for handbrake is http://handbrake.fr
I switched to Afterburner from FRAPS for a while when I was playing BF3 also. Afterburner is a great free program. The only problem I had with it, was that it only records 1 sound source. You can either have it record your mic, and no in-game sound, or vice versa.
I found it frustrating that only half of the conversations in my videos were being recorded. Hence I went back to FRAPS so I can record both my mic AND in-game sounds. Performance wise, I found FRAPS to cause a lot of input lag when playing BF3 for me. Afterburner was not as bad, but there was still an element of input lag.
I get no such issues in Arma 2 / DayZ with FRAPS, hence why I use that. File size is not an issue for me since I added the extra hard drive. Plus I like to record in HD.
Re: Bandicam... I tried this as well and I dunno. I just felt the quality of the videos were better from Fraps and Playclaw. It also would crash my machine when I changed some of the compression settings so I gave up experimenting in the end. Probably nothing wrong with it, I just couldn't get it working how I wanted in a reasonable amount of time. =)
So many choices! Argh! Might have to try a couple and figure it out.

So have you heard this latest hilarious kerfuffle? Last May 8, George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina engaged Sandra Fluke on the Twitter with the following gentlemanly remarks:
Isn't that sweet?
Ms. Fluke retweeted the kind remarks to her 36,000 followers, at which point it was noticed by the incomparable Tbogg. Now it seems George Tierney is upset that his name appears on the Google, and is threatening legal action. Hilarity ensues!
Whoever runs this site needs to take my damn comments off of it. I did not give you permission, nor did you ask me for it. It shows up on google and I will see a lawyer if this doesnt disappear. Ask me before posting bullshit about me. You fuckers had no right.
George Tierney Jr
And for damage control? He's now bragging about "Southern hospitality" and taking credit for curing a woman's cancer. Can it get any wingnuttier?
You don't want to miss Tbogg's Internet Man Does Not Want To Be On The Google Anymore for the rest of the story.


text: From the TightVNC web site ( http://www.tightvnc.com/ ): ================= TightVNC Features Local cursor handling. Cursor movements do not generate screen updates any more, remote cursor movements are processed locally by the viewer, so you do not see remote cursor pointer moving too slow behind the local cursor. Efficient compression algorithms. New Tight encoding is optimized for slow and medium-speed connections and thus generates much less traffic as compared to traditional VNC encodings. At the same time, TightVNC supports all the standard VNC encodings, so it can be easily configured to operate efficiently in fast network environments too. Configurable compression levels. You can choose any appropriate level of compromise between compression ratios and coding speed, depending on the your connection speed and processor power. Optional JPEG compression. If you don't care too much about perfect image quality, you can enable JPEG coder which would compress color-rich screen areas much more efficiently (and image quality level is configurable too). Web browser access. TightVNC includes greatly improved Java viewer with full support for Tight encoding, local cursor feature, 24-bit color mode, and more. The Java viewer applet can be accessed via built-in HTTP server as in the standard VNC. Operating under Unix and Windows. All new features listed above are available in both Unix and Win32 versions of TightVNC. Advanced Properties dialog in WinVNC. Unlike the standard VNC, TightVNC gives you a possibility to set a number of advanced settings directly from the WinVNC GUI, and to apply changed settings immediately. There is no need to launch regedit to set query options, connection priority, to allow loopback connections, disable HTTP server etc. Automatic SSH tunneling on Unix. Unix version of TightVNC viewer can tunnel connections via SSH automatically using local SSH or OpenSSH client installation. And more. A number of other improvements, performance optimizations and bugfixes. ================= Personally, I have found it to be much more stable, especially when used on Windows 9x/ME systems. The stalk WinVNC has a flaw that causes it to eat up system resources during the initial connection over a slow connection such as dial-up modem. In this situation, chances are your PC will run out of system resources and crash before the initial connection has been established. That was enough for me to switch over to TightVNC and I highly recommend it to anyone considering VNC. The developer, Constantin Kaplinsky, is also actively developping TightVNC which means that if you actually uncover a bug in the software, chances are Constantin will try to fix it in his next release. WinVNC development appears to be currently on hold as there hasn't been a new release in over two years. Disadvantages of TightVNC vs VNC? Probably the support for operating other than Unix, Windows and Java. The documentation is also incomplete though you can cetainly use AT&T's VNC docs for most things. I think it's hard to find reasons why anyone would consider VNC over TightVNC at this point in time. Perhaps one day when VNC development resumes things will change but for now, I would suggest you consider TightVNC.

RICHMOND — Mt. Vernon is one win away from redemption.
The 3A No. 6 Marauders defeated No. 7 Rushville 59-51 Saturday at the Richmond Semistate to earn a berth in the State Finals.
MV (22-4) will take on No. 2 Hamilton Heights (23-2) at 6 p.m. Saturday at Indiana State University's Hulman Center. The gold and black fell to Ft. Wayne Concordia 42-39 in last season's state championship.
At Crown Point Saturday, HH beat No. 4 Benton Central 69-58 to claim its first-ever semistate title.
The Marauders and Huskies met on Nov. 21 in Fortville, with Hamilton Heights winning 70-61.
Saturday at the 8,100-seat Tiernan Center, Mt. Vernon sprinted out to a 17-4 lead after a quarter, increasing its margin to 18 in the second before taking a 33-18 advantage into intermission.
MV was out in front 42-31 after three frames. But, the Lions (22-4) made a run in the fourth.
Rushville got within five on three separate occasions, but the Marauders hit 15-of-19 free throws in the final eight minutes to seal the triumph over their Hoosier Heritage Conference rivals.
"It feels wonderful," Mt. Vernon coach Julie Shelton said of MV's third semistate crown. "I couldn't be happier right now."
After their big start, the Marauders maintained a healthy lead until the Lions mounted an offensive early in the fourth quarter.
Rushville crept to within five points at 45-40 and 47-42, and were down five once again after Sarah Cook hit a free throw — her eighth point of the quarter — to get the Lions to 49-44 with 2:23 left on the clock.
The margin could have been trimmed further after MV's Rachel Houck was off on the front end of a one-and-one, but RV missed a layup on its next trip. Sydney Shelton wound up with the ball and was fouled.
Shelton hits both free throws, and the Marauders hit 10-of-12 from the charity stripe in the final one minute and 33 seconds to survive their fourth consecutive postseason nail-biter.
Mt. Vernon rallied past Chatard 58-54 in the Sectional 26 championship, then felled No. 1 Lebanon 45-44 and No. 14 Indian Creek 54-49 to claim the Danville regional.
"It's really fun to win those games. We've been fighting," said MV sophomore Shaely Duff, who contributed a career-high 15 points. "We've fought through everything. We came back to this point and knowing that this could be our last game, it's incredible."
The Marauders' dramatic postseason run has been a stark contrast to 2012, when they bulldozed their way through sectional, regional and semistate play by an average score of 69-34.
"These games have definitely made us closer," Sydney Shelton said of her team's playoff tightrope. "Now we know what to do in close games. We know who to get it to, what to do on defense and how to handle it."
The teams' first meeting came on Nov. 16 at Rushville. MV prevailed 68-66, with Shelton helping seal the victory from the foul line.
The freshman point guard was instrumental in crunch time again Saturday, sinking 8-of-8 freebies in the fourth quarter en route to a game-best 18 points.
Shelton tallied six of those points in the opening quarter, and her dribble-drive layups twice forced Rushville coach Melissa Marlow to signal for timeouts.
Erica Moore also had six points in the first quarter. The 6-0 junior controlled the paint on both ends, registering five rebounds and standing tall against the Lions' strong front line. Moore would finish with 14 points and nine rebounds.
MV's biggest advantage came at 22-4 following Houck's second triple, but the Lions closed well enough to leave room for a potential comeback in the second half.
"We didn't have an answer for Moore in the first half," offered Marlow, whose team shot 6-of-24 (25 percent) in the first two quarters. "She took away some rebounds, and that's usually our bread and butter. She took those away and I think that shell-shocked us a little bit."
RV was also careless with the ball in the opening two periods, turning the ball over 10 times.
"At halftime, we had a little meeting about how we weren't doing the things we were supposed to be doing individually and as a team," Marlow offered. "We pretty much called them out at halftime, just to get some fire.
"I thought the kids responded beautifully in the second half."
RV's Mackenzie Campbell scored eight of her team-best 16 points in the third quarter. The Lions outscored the Marauders 33-26 in the second half and limited them to 5-of-17 shooting (29 percent).
"We did a fantastic job on defense in the first half," Julie Shelton said. "In the second half, we got too spread out and a little tired. We were right back to letting them do what they wanted.
"Thank heavens we listened and did that in the first half."
Both teams shot under 40 percent for the game, with MV making 36.2 percent (17-of-47) and RV 37 percent (17-of-46).
The Marauders (21-of-25, 84 percent) and Lions (16-of-20, 80 percent) also shot well from the foul line.
Marlow hinted that the first-half turnovers, many of them traveling violations, proved to be the difference in the game.
"I told them all week we can't turn the ball over," said Marlow of her squad, which had 19 turnovers. "That was on our scouting report. Mt. Vernon makes you do that."
In Mt. Vernon and Hamilton Heights' first meeting, the Huskies led 28-11 after a quarter and 47-27 at half before holding off a furious Marauder rally.
Post-game, Julie Shelton confessed that she was already looking ahead to the State Finals, as well as thinking back to November when her squad registered 18 turnovers against the Huskies' press.
"Definitely going to be a battle of two totally different styles," she said. "In the first outing, they had their way. Hopefully we can prepare all week and be ready for their style."
Marlow witnessed the first MV-HH tilt and said the Huskies, who will be making their first State Finals appearance, are a better-shooting version of Lebanon.
She added that Hamilton Heights is a team with talented guard play — senior Dakota Weatherford was a 2012 Indiana Junior All-Star — but cannot match up with Moore in the paint.
"I don't see Hamilton Heights as a strong rebounding team," Marlow offered. "If Mt. Vernon can get it across half-court, they can dominate in the post.
"Hamilton Heights has got great guard play though, and they can shoot the lights out."
Notes: Cook (14 points, seven rebounds) and Keregan Niehoff (12 points, seven rebounds) delivered solid performances for the Lions. … In the first game at Richmond Saturday, Vincennes Rivet rallied past Southwestern (Shelbyville) 58-50 to advance to the Class A State Finals to take on Ft. Wayne Canterbury. … MV's other semistate titles came in 1977 and 2012. Rushville was looking for its fifth semistate crown. … Hamilton Heights is the only 3A school to defeat MV this season. Both of the Huskies' losses came to 4A schools (Noblesville, Westfield). … Rushville leaves the HHC starting next school year, but Marlow said she plans on scheduling a game against Mt. Vernon. … The Huskies beat Ft. Wayne Concordia 65-62 in the Bellmont regional final.

A Living Wage = A Human Right
Working alongside garment workers, trade unions, consumers and campaigners we are calling for those working in the garment industry to be paid a wage they can live on.
A major industry
The garment industry is a major employer across the world - in Asia for example over 15 million people are employed by the industry. With global brands making millions in profits every year this booming industry has come to rely on, and exploit, the cheap labour of millions of garment workers whose wages fall far short of a living wage.
The right to a living wage: A living wage should be earned in a standard working week (no more than 48 hours) and allow a garment worker to be able to buy food for herself and her family, pay the rent, pay for healthcare, clothing, transportation and education and have a small amount of savings for when something unexpected happens.
The lack of a living wage means many garment workers are forced to work long hours to earn overtime or bonuses and cannot risk taking refusing work due to unsafe working conditions or taking time off due to ill health. The low wages mean that workers often have to rely on loans just to make ends meet and have no savings to use if they find themselves out of work.
Identifying a living wage
Calculating a living wage is a vital first step in making a living wage a reality. Clean Clothes Campaign is a member of the Asia Floor Wage Alliance who have calculated a living wage for the region where so many rely on the garment industry to be able to live a decent life. The Asia Floor Wage Alliance had made a clear visual explanation of how a living wage is calculated.
Join our campaign
Sign our petition calling for all garment workers to receive a living wage.
A call for change
We are calling for:
- Clothing brands and companies to set concrete, measurable steps throughout their supply chain to ensure garment workers get paid a living wage.
- National governments in garment producing countries to make sure minimum wages are set at living wage standards.
- European governments to implement regulation to ensure companies are responsible for the impact they have on the lives of workers in their supply chain.

text: We've had a lot of fun featuring traditional Mexican attires in several issues of Costa Vallarta Luxury Living Magazine. So far, the series has included a bullfighter ("Dressed to Kill") a folk dancer ("Dressed to Dance") and "Dressed to Dance," where we featured a local Mariachi singer. For the upcoming issue, we decided to learn more about the traditional Yaqui Dance of the Deer, often performed in Vallarta Adventures' "Rhythms of the Night" and other similar venues. It is aptly named "Dressed to Die" for the dance consists of a deer being hunted by two Indians, eventually succumbing to their sharp spears. The following video features insights on the dance by Ramsés Cruz, one of the select dancers in town that expertly perform this dance on a regular basis.
