WINDFORCE™ 3X Anti-Turbulence Cooling - Super Cool! Super Quiet!
GV-R797OC-3GD and GV-R795WF3-3GD feature WINDFORCE™ 3X Cooling Technology, GIGABYTE's innovative new generation triple-fan solution with patented anti-turbulence inclined fans and three 8mm pure copper heat pipes. The combination of anti-turbulence inclined fans and pure copper heat pipes helps to reduce excessive heat and minimizes the flow of turbulence between fans. For GV-R797OC-3GD and GV-R795WF3-3GD, GIGABYTE creates the unique "Triangle Cool" Technology (patent pending) to enhance the speed of heat dissipation.
"Triangle Cool" Technology
Different from traditional linear heat transfer solution, GV-R797OC-3GD and GV-R795WF3-3GD are equipped with GIGABYTE's latest exclusive "Triangle Cool" Technology to reach a better cooling performance. The latest patent pending technology combines fin with clip module in a special triangle shape. With the original anti-turbulence structure plus the new triangle cooling design, it enhances the efficiency of heat dissipation dramatically by minimizing the flow of turbulence between fans. Therefore, the "Triangle Cool" Technology enables GV-R797OC-3GD and GV-R795WF3-3GD to provide a more efficient air flow for the cooling system. It's proved that the temperature of GV-R797OC-3GD is reduced by 15% compared to stock fan by "Triangle Cool" Technology design.

This card along with never settle bundle it just so great deal - mind that this is NOT 800MHz as stated but comes as 1GHz Card. Bit noisy during gaming but i never expected that kind of GPU to be silent. I have tested this card on 1200/1400 and its stable but frankly i do not even need more power so its running on stock 1000MHz/1250MHZ (5000 effectively) Thanks BT.

Oh I've upgraded my graphics card before but this time it's serious. I decided to treat myself not to a make-do cheapo card but an (almost) top-of-the-line piece of kit.
I can play games at 1920x1200, 60FPS, 100FPS even 200FPS that make my PS3 weep with feelings of inadequacy.
I can use it to mine cryptocurrencies.
Hell, I can even do both at the same time.
6/5 buy this card without hesitation.

- BART strike: Marathon negotiations conclude after nearly 14 hours; talks to resume Sunday
Bay Area commuters awoke to good news Monday morning: BART trains were running, and there would be no BART strike for at least one week.
Gov. Jerry Brown intervened Sunday night, just two hours before the 11:59 p.m. strike deadline. He imposed a seven-day injunction against any work stoppage, while at the same time appointing a three-person panel to investigate the contentious contract talks between BART and its unionized workers.
The news was well-received in Alameda County.
"I'm pretty relieved," said Erick Villegas, 21, who was headed from Oakland's 19th Street station to the North Berkeley station shortly before 5 a.m. Monday morning. "I just got in from San Diego, so if BART wasn't running right now I'd be in a lot trouble. I hope they get it settled, get something long-term worked out. I hate to be not knowing."
"I feel good that they didn't (strike)," said Daon Danol, 19, who works at San Francisco Airport. "I would have had to find some other way to get to work. I hope they find a way to solve the problem."
Walter Wright, who works in Walnut Creek, said a BART strike would have been a hardship for people making a reverse commute.
"No one cares about people going the other way," Wright said. "They only care about people going to San Francisco. I feel like part of the forgotten community. I hope they'll settle it and there won't be a strike."
Some riders expressed frustration with BART workers.
"I think they get paid enough," said Gloria Sanders. "I'd work for BART for half the money they get. It's a shame they're going through this, it's greed."
BART rider, Derek Nagle, 24, wasn't happy that he had to wake himself up late Sunday night to monitor the state of the negotiations.
"I'm very irritated that I had to wait until late at night to figure it out," Nagle said.
There was evidence that some commuters did not set their alarms for midnight, but instead woke up Monday morning and proceeded with alternate transportation plans. Photos from Twitter users showed empty seats in BART cars that would normally be packed for the morning rush hour. San Francisco Bay Ferry announced it would proceed with plans to run "an enhanced schedule" Monday. KTVU reported that shuttle buses, intended as alternative transportation for displaced BART riders, were lined up at the Walnut Creek station.
In East Contra Costa County, the commute seemed to proceed as usual. At the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART station, dozens of passengers at a time rushed to catch the train. Jignasa Borg of Pittsburg was among those jogging up the stairs. She scrapped plans to take the shuttle into Concord and a bus to San Francisco when she found out at 4 a.m. this morning that the BART strike had been averted.
"I'm glad the governor stepped in," she said, adding that she was able to get a little extra sleep upon finding out.
Antioch resident Beverly Garcia said "I was just so thrilled and happy." Garcia and three others had planned to carpool to work, but went ahead with their regular BART routine when finding out Sunday night trains would run on schedule.
At the Hillcrest Park and Ride, Devonaire Bryant of Antioch said he was "excited" that BART did not strike, because he did not have to "worry or have too much stress" in getting to Walnut Creek on a day where he had an interview for a job promotion.
In West Contra Costa County, BART trains were running on time, and ridership seemed on par with a normal morning commute. A BART employee in the entrance kiosk at the Richmond station said rider volume was unchanged, and said the morning was as smooth as any other. A BART Police cruiser sat on the concrete pad near the entrance, and an officer paced nearby. Taxi cabs sat idle in the parking lot, with the drivers standing outside.
"I was hoping all weekend that this strike wouldn't happen," said Frankie Costello, a Richmond resident who uses BART to get to various East Bay locations where she works as a street vendor. "When I woke up, I listened, and when I heard that sound the train makes I knew my day was going to be much easier."
Costello said when BART isn't running, she has to rely on AC Transit.
"The bus isn't too bad, I'm just glad that I have an option," Costello said. "Now if the train and the bus were both out, then we'd have a real problem."
Commuters who decided to drive into San Francisco faced a nightmarish surprise -- a brutal backup on the Bay Bridge caused when a big-rig fire closed two lanes on westbound I-80 just before 6 a.m. The lanes were expected to be closed for at least four hours.
BART management on Sunday evening asked Brown to order a 60-day cooling off period. The governor instead appointed Jacob Applesmith, a senior adviser to Brown and director of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, Micki Callahan, San Francisco Human Resources director, and Robert Balgenorth, president of the State Building and Construction Trades Council of California, to investigate the negotiations and issue a report by Sunday. At that point, Brown could make a decision whether or not to call for a 60-day cooling off period
In his letter to BART management and union officials, Brown urged them to continue negotiating. At a news conference Monday morning, Antonette Bryant, president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555, said she was unsure when the sides would meet again.
"Because we're getting ready for this board of inquiry, I don't know," she said, adding that she believed the board's findings would "corroborate what we've been saying."
Sunday marked the second time in a month that Brown had intervened in BART talks. He ordered a 30-day cooling off period on July 5, ending a 4 1/2-day strike.
"It ended up being our only option to keep the trains running," said BART Board President Tom Radulovich of the request for action from the governor. "We had the potential of a strike in October versus the reality of a strike tomorrow and we just didn't want to see this shut down again."
Some union representatives were unhappy with Brown's action.
"We want a contract," said Pete Castelli, executive director of the local Service Employees International Union Local 1021. "How long does this have to go on?"
In a tweet, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee commended Brown:
"I applaud @JerryBrownGov for his decisive action so that Bay Area residents will not endure a debilitating #BARTstrike on Monday."
But on the website for SEIC Local 1021, BART's largest labor union, an updated strike clock counted down the seconds until next Sunday night.

The annual Bluegrass Tournament for Kids fishing day at City Lake brought out several local youngster show enjoyed enormous success at the local facility.
The event is sponsored by the Taylor County Sportsman's Club.
With a name like Whitey Outlaw, he might be suited to be a country-western star or maybe a World Wrestling fighter, but those who know the name, know he is one of the top crappie fishing pros in the country.
Whitey has been fishing crappie tournaments since he was 15, when he won his first tournament on his home lake, Santee Cooper in South Carolina.
He has fished every CrappieMasters major tourney since and he and his partner, Mike Parrott won the organization's Classic three years ago.
Often people have described a boat as a hole in the water in which to throw money — or something like that. And, there is considerable truth in the saying.
As I sit at the computer writing this column, the boat repair guy is due on Monday to work on my old 60-horse motor. There's always something to repair, to spend money on.
But, on the flip side, my boats have always given me lots of pleasure fishing the Ohio River, skiing, exploring river banks for a picnic spot, watching birds or just enjoying the scenery at Kentucky Lake or Green River.
There still are people who make maple syrup. It's tasty, a sign of spring, and a lot of work.
Maple syrup time is time when the wonderful aroma of cooking syrup can wafts its way down the valleys from sugar camp hills.
Making maple syrup is almost a lost art. Most people who make the sweet, tasty syrup in this part of the country do it for the enjoyment and make enough to earn a few bucks and provide a supply for family and friends.
Although snow has been scarce this winter, snow still has been on my mind, and snow brought to mind something I really enjoyed in my younger years — snow ice cream. The fact is, I still enjoy it.
Sometimes March produces some big snows. They don't last long, but long enough for ice cream.
Growing up, ice cream was a real treat. It was something very special.
Remember the craze about the Big O bass lure? There were tales of them being rented on a day-to-day basis.
Everybody wanted one back in 1967. Founder Fred Young couldn't build them fast enough. They were handcrafted from balsa wood.
Eventually, Cotton Cordell's company obtained the rights to the lure and began mass producing the lure, which caught lots of big fish.
There have been other lure crazes, but that was the biggest I recall until maybe now. Now, it's the Alabama rig. It's a bass catching sensation.
Ignorance of the law isn't a valid excuse when it comes to wildlife violations. However, it is relatively easy to violate the letter of the law even though your intentions are good.
Refreshing your memory related to the law is wise. And besides, regulations change.
When crappie fishing from a boat, is it better to push your lines or pull your baits? Why use all the same rods? Why number them? Why fish the rods out the front of the boat when trolling rather than the sides?
These were some of the questions that Bill Braswell, a former Kentucky conservation officer, answered at a recent Crappie Master seminar at Bass Pro Shops store in Orlando, Fla. His tournament trail fishing partner, Dan Dannenmueller, also provided information and answers during the seminar.
More than a decade ago, two of my English Setter bird dogs disappeared in different incidents. One was never found, the other returned.
Then several years ago, my two rat terriers escaped from the motor home while parked in a remote section of a campground in North Little Rock, Ark. I spent a sleepless night until they returned just before daylight. Having perts disappear when traveling is especially worrisome.

A great addition to our nursery Review by Amanda
Price Value Quality
I thought this was a bit of a frivolous purchase at first, but am so happy we bought it! It's nice to have warm wipes on hand in our little one's room (especially in the middle of the night). The cloths that came with it are so soft - but we use them for bathtime and just bought some cheap coloured cloths to use as wipes instead. The warmer also has a light on the front of it that works as a great nightlight in the nursery! The only con is that I find I have to replace the sponge insert about every 3 weeks, as opposed to the 3 months they suggest. Worth the money!Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
A note from the bynature.ca team: Thanks for your review! It's possible you are not following the maintenance instructions accurately if you're finding the need to replace the pillow package (sponge) as often as you suggest. Please contact us if you are missing the instructions for maintenance. Water should be added often to maintain the effectiveness of the pillow insert. Alternately, you may be clogging the pillow prematurely (effecting the regulation of the evaporation and condensation inside the warmer) if you add any extras to your solution (other than just water). Ideally the pillow should last a minimum of 3 months, longer if maintained well. If you are using a homemade wipe solution, you should wet the wipes with this when you remove them from the warmer, rather than include this inside of the warmer. (Posted on 1/1/11)
Makes cloth wipes so much easier to use Review by Mellissa
Value Quality Price
I thought this was utterly frivolous when I had my 1st child. We were using disposable wipes at the time and thought why do they need to be warm. With my second, we decided to use cloth wipes since we were going to be full-time cloth diapering.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
I found some information about cloth wipe solutions, but it all seemed like extra work that wasn't completely necessary. Now I'm using nothing but water (occasional drop of lavender essential oil in the water), cloth wipes and the wipe warmer. I wouldn't go back! This product makes cloth wipes so much easier. And I will not use disposable wipes any more. I can't clean up a mess with less than 3 wipes! No mess has won over the Kissaluv wipes, water and this warmer. Well worth the money. (Posted on 3/22/12)
Great wipes warmer Review by Bee
Value Quality Price
I too thought this was a rather splurge-y item, but I've really enjoyed having it. Baby loves the warm wipes, and I love that they are reusable. I personally recommend using flannel wipes rather than the brand's bamboo ones (too thick). I keep a bunch rolled up in a little drawer underneath the warmer and replenish when empty. I just put in one row at a time, spritz with a bum wash spray a few times then pour water over top. They're warm by the time he needs his next change!

Great product... thought I wouldn't need it but so happy I got one Review by Malinda

A warm cloth wipe cleans up the mess easily and usually only need 1. My husband swears he's getting sprayed less because there isn't the shock of a cold wipe first thing in the morning on our little guys bottom.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
I tried laying the wipes flat in the warmer once but it didn't warm them up the same way rolling them does.
I mix in a bowl 2 cups of water and a touch of soap.. stir it up and pour it over the wipes. I rinse the moisture pillow once a week. (Posted on 11/13/13)
In theory, a great idea but in reality a bum deal. Review by Taryn
Price Value Quality
I was pretty excited about this product. I set it up with great expectations as per the directions. I used baby facecloths and water. A week later, there is a funky smell coming from the unit when I open it. The dang "antibacterial" moisture pillow went moldy! I contacted the company and they had great customer service and sent me a replacement pillow and gave me cleaning instructions and directed me to use distilled water (please note the instructions for the pillow show tap water being used). I ran into the same problem within two weeks even with weekly cleaning with distiller water. Grrrrrr! A waste of money, really.
A message from the bynature.ca family: We're sorry to hear you've had so much trouble with your wipes warmer. There are a number of reasons mold might continue to grow in a contaminated environment, but this is not something that is normal for the wipe warmer. We're happy to continue to work with you to see if we can help troubleshoot, and hopefully we'll help solve the problem you're having. Thanks for your patience! (Posted on 7/6/11)

I didn't know this person when she turned to me and said, "Your god lets children die." I had just been sitting there trying with another friend to make sense of the recent tragedies. As we spoke, I began to see that we shared a common anger with the injustices we both witnessed in the world. Her argument was no push for atheism but a search for answers.
Though not stated in its entirety here, her argument followed a familiar pattern to anyone who dares to be a spokesperson for God.
She alluded to the atrocities seen everywhere these days. I take the bait and claim that evil exists, claiming that you know a tree by its fruit. She asked, "Can God prevent evil?" If I say "no" then God is not all-powerful. I say, "yes" so she asked, "Does God know about all the evil?"
If I say "no" then God is not all knowing. So I say, "yes" and she asked, "Does God want to prevent evil?" But if I say "no" then God is not good, loving or even nice. So, I answer, "Yes, God wants to prevent evil."
"Then why does all this bad stuff happen? Couldn't an all-powerful god have created a world with free will for humans without all of the seemingly needless suffering? And if He/She did this to test us, wouldn't an all knowing god know ahead of time know how we would perform making a test irrelevant? I mean, couldn't an omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent God just destroy or better yet not even create Satan, or evil personified?"
"And if He could then why didn't He?"
Epicurus' riddle, the logical problem of evil, has been giving heaven's public relations department trouble for centuries.
Never one to shy away from a good argument or to let my amateur status keep me from speaking as an authority, I engaged the woman's question.
I've not been plagued by a need to know anything for certain. I appreciate mystery whether it's the kind of mystery that is born from love like stacking presents under a dying tree and attributing it to a fat man in a red suit. I even like the mystery that is born from mischievousness like when you move a friend's skis over five or more ski racks while he is in the bathroom at the bottom of the chairlift.
One of these mysteries is sweet and one is bitter. Neither the pleasure of Santa Claus or the prick of being pranked makes one more alive than the other. In fact, if you think that one of these experience is preferable to the other, then you need to ask yourself a series of questions; "Who thinks this is preferable?" "Who is this who thinks?" And "Who am I?" See where those lead you.
The young woman I was speaking to answered that she is a "bug on a rock, hurling through space, no more significant than an amoeba in the ocean and no less significant than the expanding universe." Even if it were true, this answer lacks appeal in our image-conscious, Madison Avenue nation. It's not an answer that is likely to be found in someone's online bio.
I offered my personal alternative answer. I told her that, "I am an imperfect person who needs the loving redemption of God, like a ski hill needs a dump. And I am a person who through faith in the living Jesus Christ came to have hope of an eternity in heaven, a place by all descriptions I've heard, sounds like a 'catching a fish on every cast,' 'ski two feet of fresh snow every morning' kind of place."
Then I realized that I had made a colossal boo boo. I had mentioned JC and conjured up images of every clinic destroying, queer folk bashing hater, and conquistador that there ever was. I knew better. Monsignor molesters and pedophile priests make Satan's existence unnecessary.
I retreated and asked that she do JC the favor of not judging him by people who use his name. I've often felt that there would be more people drawn to the faith if there were less "Christians" and more Christ-like people.
"OK then," she said, "how can your god sit by and not intervene when 'his child' screams in agony?"
"I know it's not the same thing," I said, "but parents watch kids suffer all the time. Consider a mother and father could prevent broken bones and all kinds of pain by not allowing them into the park at Keystone. But by denying them the opportunity to try, you deny them the chance to fly"
How smug this must have seemed. How sure of myself.
"Try this scenario," she said. "A 4 year old pees in her panties. Mom gets pissed and holds the toddler's fingers over the open flame of a gas stove. The baby screams in agony and passes out from the pain. Mom waits for her to wake up and does it again. Your god watched, listened and did nothing. Kind of sadistic, don't ya think?"
She curled her left hand under her sleeve, turned around and left. I haven't spoken to her since.
There's a lake by our house, a little wooded area I pass through and with views of the mountains. The next morning the sun hit the frozen water and sent light sparkling in every direction. Still thinking of our conversation, I have no logical response to her question and accusation. I wish I would have expressed sympathy or told her that her story sucks like Newtown sucked, and Aurora, Columbine and Virginia Tech all sucked.
But then I can taste chocolate chip cookies, warm from my wife's oven. It's as real as can be. I become suddenly grateful that like the sweet taste of this cookie, the work of the creator comes to me less through my reason and more through my senses. The air feels cold in my nose and I head back home.

Dothan, Alabama – Nearly 26 million Americans have diabetes – including 434,800 diagnosed people in Alabama. It is estimated that at least 1 out of 4 people with diabetes don't even know they have the disease. Additionally, nearly 79 million adults in the United States have prediabetes, a condition that increases their chances of developing type 2 diabetes.
In support of American Diabetes Association Alert Day® (Tuesday, March 26), the National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) and Sambora Vaughan are encouraging people to find out if they are at risk for type 2 diabetes. If left undiagnosed or untreated, diabetes can lead to serious health problems including heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney disease, amputation, and even death.
If you have a family history of diabetes – such as a mother, father, brother, or sister with diabetes – or if you had diabetes during pregnancy – you could have a higher chance of developing the disease. You can't change your family's health history, but knowing about it can help you take action NOW to prevent or delay the development of this serious disease. Diabetes is the 6th leading cause of death in Alabama!
Other risk factors for diabetes include being overweight or obese, physically inactive, and over the age of 45. Diabetes is also more common in African Americans, people of African Ancestry, Hispanics and Latinos, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders. Caucasian people have a higher rate of Type 1.
"I am encouraging everyone to know their risk for diabetes by talking to their family about their family history of diabetes and finding out if you – or someone you love – could be at risk for diabetes,"
For more information or to take the risk test you can contact Sambora Vaughan at 334-718-6088 or email@example.com

A Very Good PenI am a pen lover and I collect all kinds of pens. I know in and out of pens, especially fountain pens and this pen is really awesome. I heard from a friend who is in UK that the price over there in stores is like 120 British Pounds which is like Rs 7000/- but we are getting this for about 2000 here and the quality is superb, the ink flow is flawless. It is a heavy pen, which is the best for me cuz I like heavy pens. It feels good to hold a heavy fountain pen. The quality is really good. If you are a pen lover or if you want to feel the essence of writing then I think you should definitely go … (Expand)

Extremely smooth, wet nib with great looksI love fountain pens and this was my first serious buy. The pen looks beautiful, a little heavy but well balanced. Design and detailing is superb. The medium nib is wet and thicker than a Lamy medium. Although extremely smooth, that might be an issue if someone with small hand writing wants to use it on regular basis. To my surprise, mine came with a faulty converter and somewhat ruined my confidence on Sheaffer's piston filling mechanism. But I hope this was an one off aberration. There was no option to replace, so had to return it. Refund took time, but was hassle free. I even wrote to Sheaf… (Expand)

Gift basedI have gifted this to my best friend and as far as I have heard, this pen writes smoothly with genuine ink, which they give with the box itself. The body is a bit bulky and it suits the needs of those who admire big pens which can easily be gripped and also the price I bought it for was decent.

Kids Coping With Divorce
In this article
Divorce can be wrenching when kids are involved, but there's a lot you can do to help children cope. If you're a parent dealing with divorce, try to remember that your child needs you now more than ever. Offering reassurance, hope, and a sense of stability can help ease the effects of divorce on children of all ages.
Children Coping With Divorce: Nine Dos and Don'ts
Isolina Ricci, PhD, a family therapist and author of Mom's House, Dad's House, says, "When children are free to love both of their parents without conflict of loyalty, to have access to them both without fear of losing either, they can get on with the totally absorbing business of growing up, on schedule."
Use these nine tips to help minimize the negative effects of divorce on your kids:
- Don't confide in your children about adult concerns like disagreements with your spouse or money worries. Find a friend or therapist to confide in instead.
- Don't "bad mouth" your ex. If you have a dispute with your ex-spouse, don't expose your children to your conflicts and frustration.
- Don't quiz your child about the other parent or what goes on at the other parent's house. It's fine to ask general questions about your child's time there, but don't snoop.
- Don't introduce major changes in your child's life if you can help it. Try to keep to your usual family routines and community ties.
- Do continue to parent as you always have. You may feel guilty that your kids have to cope with divorce, but it won't help to shower them with special gifts or let them stay up late. They'll feel more secure if you're firm and consistent.
- Do encourage kids to call the other parent when they have news or just to chat. Keep the other parent informed about school events and other activities.
- Do learn more about how to help your child cope with divorce. Many national organizations can help families understand the effect of divorce on children, such as the San Francisco-based nonprofit Kids' Turn, which offers workshops for kids and parents.
- Do get help for a child having trouble coping with divorce. A young child may show regressive behavior like excessive clinginess or bedwetting, while an older child may become angry, aggressive, withdrawn, depressed, or have problems in school. A therapist can provide a safe place for your child to express his or her feelings.
- Do seek help if you and your ex can't interact without hostility. A family therapist or professional mediator can help you develop a more friendly communication style -- one with fewer negative effects on your kids.

10 Secrets I Learned at Makeup Artist School
Want the tricks professional makeup artists use without going to makeup school yourself? We went to a makeup academy and got the goods -- see our cheat sheet now
Stewart says the biggest mistake women make with brows is choosing a color that's too dark. Dark brows can make you look older, she says, so pick a color that's a couple shades lighter than your hair.
If you're using a pencil: For a realistic look, apply more pressure at the bottom of the stroke where the root would be. Ease off on the pressure as you flick your stroke upward, using small strokes to make it most look like hair, says Hawker.
If you're using a powder: Brush the powder starting from the outer corner of your brow and work against the direction of your hair growth. This ensures a more natural finish by allowing the brow hair to sit over the powder, so that your brows don't look drawn in, says Prior. Make sure to emphasize the arch with your color, and taper off at the inner corners so you don't look angry.

Members of the Eliza Pillars State Nursing Association and District 16 Mississippi Nurses Association kicked off a big project Saturday at the auditorium of EMEPA. They are trying to target health care disparities among minority groups. The nurses offered free health screening and education on certain health concerns.
Members of the Eliza Pillars Nursing Association are working hard to identify problems within health care throughout the state of Mississippi. This is a project members have been focusing on for the past year. Betty Cryer is the President of the Eliza Pillar State Nursing Association. She explains what areas of health care have become the association's priorities.
"One of our primary focuses has been four areas. We are dealing with the top four issues within the state of Mississippi. Obesity, diabetes, stroke, and hypertension," describes Betty Cryer.
And obesity is a major concern for Mississippians. For the sixth year in a row, Mississippi has had the highest rate of adult obesity - 33.8 percent - of any state in the Union. Mississippi women had a slightly higher rate at 34.9 percent. African Americans in the state had a much higher rate at 42.9 percent. With this in mind, members of the association want community members to take responsibility for their own health.
"We are trying to teach them the importance of wellness and taking self-control of your own illness."
Erica Clark is a member of the nursing association. She is one of the individuals trying to teach community members about their own health. Clark encourages everyone to educate themselves when it comes to any health matter.
"I'm here to do education for the people of our community to teach them about early detection, so that they will know their status and how to access proper health care," explains Erica Clark.
Heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the U.S., cancer, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes all are closely associated with obesity. Mississippi is a front runner in those diseases as well. For Melanie Anderson, another member of the nursing association, health awareness can help get these diseases in better control.
"It's important for nurses, such as myself, to come to seminars like this, first because as a nurse I took an oath; an oath to give back to my community. For one, I love to do service and this is one way of giving back. And what better way than to take ownership than to know about our own health," says Melanie Anderson.

The Inside Politics column incorrectly reported that Ralph and Norma Hernandez of Antioch were recalled from the City Council. They are former Antioch council members, but neither was recalled.
Venerable journalist and author Peter Schrag perfectly summed up California's 11 state ballot measures a few days ago.
"State government: The more we fix it, the worse it gets," he wrote in the Sacramento Bee.
Coincidentally, the Public Policy Institute of California's survey last week on voters' attitudes toward improving democracy contained two pertinent findings:
In other words, people who don't know the first thing about state and local government finances think they are making great decisions.
That explains a lot.
Don't you be one of those uninformed voters.
Yeah, the state voter guide is roughly 50,000 words but it's not exactly Tolstoy's "War and Peace." (588,000 words.)
Here's a tip veteran finance policy expert Fred Silva gave to the Contra Costa Leadership Alumni in Walnut Creek when the group met Thursday for a discussion about the statewide tax measures: Don't bother reading the whole voter guide, just the three or four pages per measure from the nonpartisan legislative analyst.
Sorry, there's no 140-character Twitter version. Yet.
speaking of time: A jury found Clayton Vice Mayor Joe Medrano guilty last week of felony embezzlement and put a hitch in his re-election hopes.
Medrano's former business partners portrayed him during an eight-day trial as an insurance broker who twisted information and stole money from their company, wrote Contra Costa Times reporter David DeBolt.
Medrano's council colleagues must now decide whether to remove Medrano from office immediately or leave his fate up to voters.
campaign heats up: Chevron clearly believes in helping fate along when it comes to voters' choices in the fierce 11-candidate Richmond City Council race.
The oil company-funded political action committee sent out a second blistering mailer targeting progressive peace activist Marilyn Langlois, a close ally of Richmond Mayor Gayle McLaughlin.
The first flier detailed Langlois' refusal to pay her federal income taxes as an anti-war statement.
The second mailer features four published statements, where Langlois writes that there is "sufficient evidence to indicate" that "elites" within the U.S. "military industrial complex" and the Central Intelligence Agency helped facilitate the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Langlois isn't alone. The 9/11 Truth movement has plenty of followers.
But for most folks, the suggestion that the U.S. government helped orchestrate the death of nearly 3,000 of its own citizens is pretty far out there.
See the mailer and the committee's backup documents at www.MaryilynLangloisFacts.com. For Langlois' own campaign materials, visit www.marilynlanglois.net.
AND FINALLY: Former Antioch councilmembers and married gadflies Ralph and Norma Hernandez have topped themselves.
In the pair's published voter guide opposition argument to the Antioch Unified School District's $56.5 million bond measure, they wrote:
" ... AUSD continues to want more money no matter what! Bending over and taking it from them isn't the answer either!"
It's bad enough that any citizen would choose to use this appalling language on a school bond measure, of all things.
But how on earth did this crass and offensive sentence survive the voter guide editing process?
As it turns out, county election clerks cannot legally edit pro and con statements submitted for publication in the voter guide.
The statements are made available for a 10-day review and if someone objects to the content, the clerk's office will evaluate the request, said Registrar of Voters Steve Weir.
That's too bad.
Well, one can always consider the source and vote accordingly.

Your kids will sleep easier knowing that their pal Pablo is watching over them. A little foam puts a friendly face on an ordinary night light.
Catch the Backyardigans on Nick Jr.
Cut out a blue circle of foamie for Pablo's head. Ours is about 1 inch in diameter. Then cut out two wings. Ours are the length of the nightlight and about 1 1/2 inches at their widest part. Cut a small bow tie from the blue foamie, as well.
From red foamie, cut a half-round for Pablo's beanie.
From yellow foamie, cut a beak and a small triangle to go on the beanie.
Secure the wiggly eyes to the face, then glue on the beak. Glue the yellow triangle onto the beanie. Glue the beanie to the head. Let dry.
Meanwhile, glue the two wings onto the sides of the night-light. Also glue on the bow tie.

One of Britain's top historians takes on a previously unexplored area of Churchill's wartime efforts in this much anticipated follow on to a successful study last year of Churchill's navy. Entirely original in his approach, Lavery considers the practicalities of transporting a prime minister through dangerous skies and across hostile oceans in a time of global war. Readers learn that like most of the British war effort, Churchill's voyages were under-planned and improvised. The many firsthand accounts that are included offer an intimate portrait of the man through the eyes of his traveling companions, ministers, and top military officers, and secretaries and typists, as well as the ship and aircraft crews responsible for his safety. The book concludes with an examination of the legacy of the voyages, especially with regard to air travel and developing world statesmanship.
Praise for Churchill Goes to War
"The book fills a needed void in naval studies of the Second World War and naval historians and Churchill enthusiasts will not be disappointed. The volume has excellent maps detailing the course of each journey and a nice selection of photographs. It is an informative and most enjoyable read."
– International Journal of Naval History
"Lavery may sometimes tell readers more than they ever thought possible to know about logistics and flight-paths, but he also tells us much that is well worth our knowing."
— Journal of Cold War Studies, Volume 13, Number 3

7.3-3 Patronizing Prostitute from Motor Vehicle -- § 53a-83a
Revised to December 1, 2007
The defendant is charged [in count __] with patronizing a prostitute from a motor vehicle. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of patronizing a prostitute from a motor vehicle when (he/she), while occupying a motor vehicle: <insert appropriate subsection:>1
§ 53a-83a (a) (1): pursuant to a prior understanding, pays a fee to another person as compensation for such person or a third person having engaged in sexual conduct with (him/her).
§ 53a-83a (a) (2): pays or agrees to pay a fee to another person pursuant to an understanding that in return therefore such person or a third person will engage in sexual conduct with (him/her).
§ 53a-83a (a) (3): solicits or requests another person to engage in sexual conduct with (him/her) in return for a fee.
§ 53a-83a (a) (4): engages in sexual conduct for which a fee was paid or agreed to be paid.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Occupied
motor vehicle
The first element is that the defendant occupied a motor vehicle. "Motor vehicle" means all vehicles used on a public highway and includes an automobile.
Element 2 - Patronized a
The second element is that while occupying a motor vehicle, the defendant <specify the alleged conduct>. Sexual conduct has its ordinary meaning, that is, conduct of a sexual nature.2 The respective sex of the defendant and other person is immaterial.
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant occupied a motor vehicle, and 2) while in the motor vehicle <summarize allegations>.
If you unanimously find that
the state has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of
patronizing a prostitute from a motor vehicle, then you shall find the
defendant guilty. On the other hand, if you unanimously find that the
state has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements,
you shall then find the defendant not guilty.
1 The three alternative ways of committing this offense vary in the timing of the transaction and whether a third party procurer is involved. The gist of the crime is the agreement to pay a fee for sexual services. Tailor the instruction to the facts alleged.
2 See State v. Allen, 37 Conn. Sup. 506, 510-11 (App. Sess. 1980).

I have a cold and a sore throat but I still ran 3 miles even though it felt like I had weight on my chest. My next run will be on Christmas and Yes I will still run that day, I may be the only out there but that's okay
Hi Folks-
I've been lurking a while. I started C25K in October. I am fixing to head out on my W8D2 run. I had to repeat a few of the middle weeks (3, 4, and 5 I think) - things seem easier now. But not easy. I am 40 (part of the reason I started), weigh 245, and very slow. Monday's 28 minute run only covered 1.65 miles. I am as surprised as anyone could be at how much I am enjoying this!
I am starting to think about what's next. I have had some mild shin splints, easily controlled by ice and ibuprofen. They don't bother me every run. My left heel is a greater concern - I have a touch of PF, I think. I don't want to ramp up time or mileage too fast, lest I exacerbate the problem (a night splint, stretching, and icing have helped quite a bit). I do like having a set schedule and a goal, though. I am thinking about G28K next? Or perhaps I should just stick to a 30 minute run and slowly add a fourth day?
flamom, good job sticking to your run day. I shifted my runs last week so this week I'll run Christmas Eve and the day after.
TXmom, congrats on your progress and welcome. For what to do next, I'm going to stick with about 3 miles for a little bit. I'd like to increase my speed and finish the 3 miles feeling a bit stronger.

Graduated C25K: 26 December 2010
Upcoming races:
Well I ran 1.86 in my 28 minutes. I am closing in on two miles. Feeling pretty jazzed right now.
Am I allowed to say I graduated C25K next week if I don't actually run 5K?
My daughter just ran out the door with my Droid phone for the music and GPS running app. She'll knock out 3 miles without blinking. Ah, youth. To give her her due, I was never interested in any running that involved more than one lap around the track at her age, or any age, until recently. She does it just as a weight control and general fitness thing.
Great job Txmomof5!
I love the C25K - it really got me running. I can't imagine not running now. I have been running for about a year and a half now. I did a 5K and a 10K and now wanting to do the Triple Crown in Louisville which is a 5K in late February, a 10K in middle of March, and then a 10 miler at the end of March. There is also a half marathon/marathon at the end of April.
I started running at 260 and now I just broke into the 230s. I am pretty slow but I have been getting a little bit faster. I think losing weight is the easiest way for me to get faster.
I only run outside so winter I have to be dedicated. I have to have cold weather gear - over 30 degrees I am fine and the dark I have reflecting lights and a flashlight.
Yeah, I am hoping losing some weight will help me speed up, too. After all, I am carrying the equivalent of two 50 lb bags of horse feed around that I certainly don't need. That actually encourages me - "Gee think how speedy I'll be with no bags of feed on my back". Quite the mental picture.
Hi everyone! I haven't posted much, but I am so excited and I had to share with people who understand. I did 4.2 miles today in 55 minutes and only walked 5 of those minutes!!! I have never done that before. The most I had jogged before was 10 min, but today I just felt good and kept going. Every time I got tired I would just look ahead and say, I will run to that spot, and then just kept going. Thanks for letting me share. I feel like yelling it to everyone I see, but that would just get me a lot of weird looks.

Thanks gdsmit1! You're right about the weight loss. It will definitely take a change in diet. But it will also require exercise...something that's not in my daily regime. I stated I would begin my C25K on Monday but I got a little anxious and started today. I downloaded the C25K app for my droid and couldn't wait to use it. It really helped! I didn't feel tired after the run and I can't wait until Saturday to do it again. I feel really good about it this program!
Great job running 4.5 in 55 and Congrats to all who started running this week!
Good job folks.
Today was W9D2. Boy was it windy. I really should have put on a hat, my ears were freezing. But I got warmed up quickly and the wind was just mildly annoying. Ended up running 34 minutes for 2.8 miles. Sure is easier to get a quicker speed on the treadmill. I hit a point where I was almost ready to walk a bit, but I got behind a guy that was running at a speed that I probably should run and I paced off him. Worked great. I kept an eye on my 305 every time I felt that I was getting really tired and saw that this always coincided with my heart rate getting in the 160+ range, so I would slow it down a little more and keep an eye on the 305 to make sure my heart rate was dropping still. Seemed to work pretty well.

This is the first time I've run without a rest day in between. I couldn't figure out how to work in a run tomorrow. It went surprisingly well - my average pace was 30 sec/m faster.
So, that's Weeek 8 Day 3 done - on to Week 9 Monday!
Hi guys!
Happy Holidays to all.
I haven't posted in a while. Not entirely sure how long it's been. But I've been a little crazy with the holidays and my husband has been off work this week (a good thing!)..
I didn't run for a week, due to a leg thing.. I tried to run Monday, but ended up walking it. It's alright. Probably needed the rest. .
I ran 5 today. 1:12. I'm happy. My last 5 was 1:14 Hey there Christmas PR. YAY..
I did more intervals today run/walk as I felt unsure how my leg would feel. It was freezing and windy and I really wanted to quit. But I finished the miles as per my Half training plan. I'm hoping to be able to run my full plan this week. I've discovered that the more I use the foam roller, the better I feel. My shin splints seem to be going away. YAY! Even with the up in distance, all good.
Here's a foto of my awesome Newts with my super rad snowflake socks from today's run. The second foto is my frozen face after the miles were done. The third is a foto of my gorgeous boys this morning before we opened gifts.
Happy Holidays everyone! I'm going to try to be more active here. I hope you all are well!!!

Graduation run today. I did my normal route. No walking at all. No parades or fanfare, but I did raise my arms a la Rocky.
Now to figure out what to shoot for next. I'm really thinking that I'm just going to continue the regular route every other day for a little while. I'm still pretty tired at the end of my run. I'd like to get to the point where I finish the run and not be completely worn out. Maybe do this for a month or so and then look at other running plans.
One other thing, got on the scale this morning and it was down to 201.5. When I drop below 200, you guys aren't going to kick me out of the tread, are you?

Forgot to mention that I saw my first pair of VFFs on the trail today. I didn't notice them as the guy was running towards me the first time. I was busy looking at the odd shorts. Now keep in mind it was 27F and really windy. On the way back, he was running towards me again and I noticed the all black VFFs.
Interesting that he wasn't freezing. There were also people playing hockey on the pond that I run around.

The long wait for snow this year, on top of last year's disappointing winter season, has affected tourists' plans for their holiday vacations. In general, resort bookings are down as potential visitors remain cautious.
Occupancy at 16 mountain resorts has decreased by 12.3 percent in December as compared with last December, according to data gathered by the Mountain Travel Research Program (MTRiP). The trend continues with on-the-books occupancy for December through May down by 2.8 percent.
But in Breckenridge, it's another story.
Research done by MTRiP shows that December on-the-books occupancy has increased by 2 percent in Breckenridge as compared with last year. The picture looks even better from December through May with a 7 percent increase.
"Last year was a relatively slow snow year, so consumers have been reluctant to engage this year until there's a big snow message that convinces the reluctant consumers that the resorts are back in Mother Nature's favor," said Ralf Garrison, director of MTRiP.
While low snow affects the resorts across the board, certain aspects at Breckenridge lend it a distinct advantage. Elevation, reputation and location are all working in favor of Breckenridge.
"The resorts who have high elevations and a good reputation and have a strong local following are picking up faster than other resorts are," said Garrison. "A big brand is like a magnet - the bigger the magnet, the more it can attract."
In addition to its tall mountains and good name, Breckenridge is conveniently located for visitors who are driving from nearby states and the Front Range. When snow comes late, short-drive travelers flock and Breckenridge benefits.
"It's a little bit of a fickle consumer environment now," said Tom Foley, operations director at MTRiP. "The recent snow is doing everybody a ton of good and Breckenridge is on that list. Consumers are anxious to get out and ski and enjoy themselves."
However, it's not just the snow that's calling visitors to Breckenridge.
"It used to be that skiing was the only thing you did at the resort. Nowadays there's an overall winter resort festive party," said Garrison. "The more non-mountain things there are to do, the more the guests are assured that they're going to have plenty of options for their vacation time regardless of the natural snow."
Breckenridge has more to offer than just ski slopes and the fact that visitors realize that shows in the numbers. Rachel Zerowin of the Breckenridge Resort Chamber cites shopping options and the vibrant art scene as further draws to the town.
"We can accommodate the whole range of traveler," Zerowin said. "The artistic district is doing great things (and) between shopping and dining in town, a diverse group of people can come to Breckenridge and enjoy it."
Whether numbers were up or down at the time of the report, increased snowfall will provide positive effects.
"The snow conversation is going to carry on, no matter what happens over the short term," Garrison said. "We're going to catch up over December, but not fully recover. Now it's what's going to happen in the second half of the game."
In addition to hoping for snow, the resorts, particularly Breckenridge, can thank their current visitors for strengthening the season later on.
"The guests who come for Christmas go home with messages that have a lot to do with end of season," Garrison said. "Nowadays anybody that has a smart phone has the equivalent of a broadcast studio in their pocket. With social media, they start conveying the message for the resorts. It's all about momentum. A good experience at Christmas communicated through social media ... will have a lot to do with a positive balance at the (end of the) season."

Deficit unprecedented in Obama's eight years

If the Republicans would try to solve problems instead of trying defeat President Obama maybe some solutions and progress would be made to reduce the deficit. As long as the Republicans want to push the stick in President Obama's eye little headway will be made regarding the national budget/deficit. President Obama won the election...Republicans need to*****it up and put their "big girl dress on" and deal with it...as an adult!

The economy is recovering slowly. Deficits are beginning to go in the right direction. But we are a long way from where we need to be. The deficits had been increasing at alarming rates almost from the day that George W. Bush stepped into office. He and a republican controlled congress sent us into two wars and implemented tax cuts.
It would be the equivalent of getting a pay cut, your spouse gets laid off so you increase your children's allowance, buy a new car and take a family vacation to EuroDisney for 2 weeks.

Sunday night will be all about Hollywood when film lovers gather for Oscar night at 5:30 p.m. at Fatty's Pizzeria, 106 S. Ridge St. in Breckenridge.
The Breckenridge Festival of Film brings back the event after a break of several years, turning the upstairs of the restaurant into a screening room to broadcast the 85th Annual Academy Awards live.
"We have not had this event for many years as it was replaced with a very successful Mystery Dinner," said Ambur Stevens of the Breckenridge Festival of Film (BFF). "However, we felt the need to break from that tradition and get back to film. And what better way than the Academy Awards?"
The evening features a red carpet, a $5 ballot to guess winners, a trivia contest, food and a champagne toast. There will be prizes including cash, movie tickets, Subway coupons, pizza certificates and even a couple of trophies.
Event coordinator Phyllis Martinez has her picks for the special night. "This was a great year for movies. My personal favorite - but I don't think it's going to win - is 'Lincoln.'"
"Personally I think 'Argo' is going to win," said BFF programming director Dianna Nilsson. "And Daniel Day Lewis will win best actor."
The film and actor have both been recognized with other awards this year, including a Golden Globe and Critics' Choice.
On Sunday, eventgoers are encouraged to get in the spirit of the Oscars and dress up for the red carpet. "Of course, all Hollywood glitz and glamour - it's gonna be fun," said Martinez. "I think that everybody who loves movies will have a good time."
Throughout the year, the Breckenridge Festival of Film organizes a number of benefits to support the festival, among them last November's "Hollywood and Wine," which has been the most successful, Nilsson said.
Volunteers are currently reviewing films for this year's festival, which will be held Sept. 19-22.
Tickets for the Oscar night are $25. For reservations and more information call (970) 485-0813 or visit www.breckfilmfest.com.

Mr Davies has challenged those conclusions by making submissions upon the judge's consideration of the applicant's views upon some of the events of greater significance.

Those who remember always that they know nothing, and who have become willing to learn everything, will learn it. But whenever they trust themselves, they will not learn. They have destroyed their motivation for learning by thinking they already know. Think not you understand anything until you pass the test of perfect peace, for peace and understanding go together and never can be found alone. Each brings the other with it, for it is the law of God they be not separate. They are cause and effect, each to the other, so where one is absent the other cannot be.

Call not upon the ego for anything; it is only this that you need do. The Holy Spirit will, of himself, fill every mind that so makes room for him.
Your part is very simple. You need only recognize that everything you learned you do not want. Ask to be taught, and do not use your experiences to confirm what you have learned. When your peace is threatened or disturbed in any way, say to yourself:
I do not know what anything, including this, means. And so I do not know how to respond to it. And I will not use my own past learning as the light to guide me now.
By this refusal to attempt to teach yourself what you do not know, the Guide Whom God has given you will speak to you. He will take his rightful place in your awareness the instant you abandon it, and offer it to him.
