Soft Minded Men
South-East Asian Gender Crossing
In Toraja society ... any warrior who had lost his taste for war and severing heads could abandon the warpath and become a woman and learn the religious arts. No one in Toraja society would condemn or ridicule him for his change in roles.
... boys who received a holy calling through spirit visitations were considered sacred and as basir were expected to live as women in honour of the tribe's bisexual godhead.
Across South East Asia there is an ancient tradition of crossing gender. In the folk tales of many societies we meet beings that change sex as a source of power. The famous witch of Balinese mythology, Rangda, is always impersonated by men in the ritual plays. In the traditional theatre of Java, Ludruk, a key figure is the transvestite, who teaches her audience the proper values of Javanese society. Before the arrival of Christianity and Islam, two religions which are particularly intolerant of gender-crossing, traditional priests and shamans from the Philippines to Indonesia permanently lived as women and were highly regarded by their societies. In this article we shall look at some of these social attitudes and compare them with modern day gender-crossing in Thailand, Java, Vietnam and elsewhere.
Perhaps a good place to start is with the tribal societies of Borneo because here perhaps we see the purest manifestation of the ancient practice of crossing gender. Among the Sea Dyaks gender-crossers were known from the first contact with European mariners, but our best reports are of a Land Dyak tribe known as Ngadju. Schwaner, a nineteenth century Dutch bigot, made this remark about the Ngadju trannies: "In spite of their loathsome calling they escape well-merited contempt". Harleland, another nineteenth century traveller to Borneo, cast a disapproving eye over the Ngadju with this comment about their shamans: "Dressed as women they are made use of at idolatrous feasts and for sodomic abominations and many of them are formally married to other men." What these early travellers to the region failed to appreciate due to their ethnocentric prejudices was the essential role of the tranny priests (basir or "unfertile") in Ngadju society.
The way anthropologist Hans Scharer interprets it, boys who received a holy calling through spirit visitations were considered sacred and as basir were expected to live as women in honour of the tribe's bisexual godhead. At the important new year ceremony of the Sacred Service the basir performed the ritual of the creation when male and female elements combined. In other words, the basir were essential for making sure that the cosmos remained unified. Without them the world would come asunder.
On the northern Indonesian island of Sulawesi (the Celebes) lived a warlike tribe, the Toradja, greatly feared for their headhunting habits. Men strove to become great war chiefs and take many heads. Yet the society had a place for men who abhorred war. These became bajasa (deceivers), or transgender priests who lived as women and were fully-accepted into that role. In a warlike society such as the Toradja any man who chose not to be a warrior had no other option but to become a woman. Incredibly though, any warrior who had lost his taste for war and severing heads could abandon the warpath and become a woman and learn the religious arts. No one in Toradja society would condemn or ridicule him for his change in roles.
Still on Sulawesi but south of the Toradja dwelt the once powerful kingdom of the Bugis. Their priests were a group of trannies called bissu (asexual or bisexual), so highly regarded that they lived in the palace with the king, who wanted always to be close to their source of magical power. The bissu behaved as women in every regard, but due to their intimacy with the court they were restricted to certain behaviours. According to the sixteenth century Portuguese traveller Paiva, any impropriety with the princess, into whose bedchamber the bissu could enter, could end in their drowning, or if found having sex with any of the courtly women they were boiled in oil.
Bugis culture has been totally uprooted with the intrusion of Islam. Yet the bissu still have an important role to play in Sulawesi society today, as healers, as custodians of sacred cult objects and as prophets. Even among the Muslim community of Sulawesi bissu are respected. One bissu and successful businessman, Haji Gandaria, who also became a Muslim, has been to Mecca eight times, including once dressed as a woman. Contrast this to the outrage expressed by the Muslim community of Java who opposed the return of Ruben Vivianto to Indonesia after a sex-reassignment operation.
Gender crossing was also widespread across the Philippines. When the Spaniards arrived in the sixteenth century they found Tagalog shamans on Luzon dressed as women praying to a hermaphrodite god. Once again we see the divine influence of bisexual gods on the society's holy men. However, to the south on the island of Negros the transgenders (bayot) of the Cebuans do not seem to have been priests or shamans. Today the bayot are only found in rural communities where they dress ambivalently and dress fully as women only during fiestas. They are not condemned by other Cebuans, nor are they highly regarded. A kind of joking relationship exists between them and their communities in which harmless teasing takes place. In Cebu City and Manila, though, we find the hardened attitude of Catholicism towards transgenders (or binabae as they are called in Tagalog). The binabae respond by adopting the western like attributes of transsexualism, with drag shows, prostitution and a strong desire for a sex-change dominating their lives.

NEW MADRID - When she reached for her ballot at the Missouri Music Educators Association meeting to vote for the "Outstanding District Choral Director," Judy Henry got a surprise. There on the list was her name.
Back at New Madrid County Central High School, she told her students about the surprise of the nomination. It was like "well duh." Henry recalled: "For them is was 'so, we already knew that.'"
While her students believed her to be outstanding, in July she will know her peers do too as she accepts the award during the Missouri Choral Directors Association's State Convention in Jefferson City.
And she takes pride in the company she is keeping. Among the other honorees are former Sikeston teacher, Willie Grega. "He gave me a lot of support when I first came here. I'm pleased to be sharing the roster with him."
Also on the list are eight other choral directors from across Missouri.
"I think at this stage in my career this really means a lot to me," Henry said about the honor. "They look at what you have done in the school-related choral experience. You only vote for people making an effort to move forward with their choral program in the schools."
And Henry likes to keep moving.
In her 12 years in the New Madrid County R-1 School District, she has taught choral music to junior high school and high school students. Last year she directed some 30 eighth graders in choral music and in the high school, the 45-member female chorus, the 25-member male chorus and the Singing Eagles, which is a select group of 50 young men and women.
Next year she will have her three high school choral groups, teach a music appreciation class where students can earn college credit and offer the school's first class in musical theater.
"I need a new challenge," she said with a smile about the new classes. Teaching choral music, she continued, gives her the best of both worlds.
"I have to constantly be teaching, working on the basics," she said. "But there is the creative aspect that is challenging. I have to make this new and fresh for myself, for the students and since we perform for the public, for the community too."
Next year's musical theater class perhaps will be the most creative challenge awaiting. She is spending her summer planning for the students, many of whom have already performed in two school musicals.
She plans to cover the background and history of musical theater and offer performing opportunities, such as a winter dinner theater, for these and her other students.
And as if her classes weren't enough, Henry will also serve next year as the all-state coordinator for the district overseeing the all-state auditions and selections.
Henry credits the support of the school administration with allowing her the opportunity to be active in her profession while introducing students to different musical experiences. These are experiences from which she hopes her students will learn more than just musical notes.
"I want them to go out of here as life-long learners. Have an experience which mean something to them all their lives," she said.
That is no problem said Jamie Russell, a member of Henry's choral groups, including Singing Eagles, and a 2002 NMCC grad. "She always keeps you on your toes - you are never not learning something in her classes. Yet, it is a lot of fun."
And she believes she gets something even more valuable from her students. "I really care about these kids. They are always there for me as I try to be for them. They feed me," she said adding a bit of explanation. "The present members of the Singing Eagles are so full of energy and creativity. When they are excited about performing, that is exciting for me."
She pointed out last year's Singing Eagles earned top ratings in competition. Next year's choir will have many returning performers.
"This has been a 12-year building process," she noted about the Singing Eagles and other choirs' successes. "The community has come to expect a high level of performance from us. Hopefully we can continue that.
"This will be the 13th year, hopefully that will be a lucky 13."

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Rhode Island has been awarded a five-year $11 million federal grant for substance-abuse prevention work which will include new research about prescription drug abuse among the state's teenagers and young adults.
The grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is aimed at reducing under-age drinking and marijuana use among 12- to-17-year-olds, and funding data collection and epidemiological research about prescription drug abuse in Rhode Island, according to officials at the state Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals.
About 11 percent of Rhode Island public high school students abuse prescription medications in their lifetime, according to the Youth Risk Behavior Survey conducted by SAMHSA.
About $2 million per year will be used to fund prevention efforts around underage drinking and marijuana use; the remaining $200,000 per year been set aside for the epidemiological research and data collection on prescription drug abuse, said Charles Williams, of the state BHDDH.
Part of the grant will be used to assist 12 communities identified deemed as having the greatest need, Williams said, in their efforts to prevent underage drinking and marijuana use among teenagers. They are: Burrilville, Cranston, Cumberland, Foster, Johnston, Lincoln, Little Compton, Newport, New Shoreham/Block Island, Providence, Scituate and Westerly.

Definition of WYSIWYG in English:
1980s: acronym from what you see is what you get.
see from Old English:
The see meaning 'to perceive with the eyes' perhaps comes from the same ancient root as Latin sequi 'to follow', seen in second and sequel. Referring to the district of a bishop or archbishop, see goes back to Latin sedere 'to sit' ( see seat). In the 1927 film The Jazz Singer Al Jolson uttered the aside 'You ain't heard nothing yet'. This became the model for similar phrases, notably you ain't seen nothing yet. The computer slogan what you see is what you get—abbreviated as WYSIWYG—began life in the USA; the first recorded example is from the New York Times in 1971. It refers to the representation of text on screen in a form exactly corresponding to its appearance on a printout. 'Why don't you come up and see me sometime?' will be forever associated with the vampish actress Mae West. What she actually said in the film She Done Him Wrong (1933) was 'Why don't you come up sometime, and see me?'. Mae West is remembered for a number of saucy quips, among them 'Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?' and 'It's not the men in my life that counts—it's the life in my men', while her buxom figure led to the inflatable life jacket issued to RAF personnel during the Second World War being called a Mae West.

IN PAST ARTICLES WE HAVE WARNED OF A PROBLEM associated with the recent 14-year period of unit sales growth (a long-term success we hadn't seen since the 1960s). That problem is the buildup of used motorcycles.
We can look back at history for insights. In 1986, the value of the Japanese yen increased 32 percent in just 12 months. This was hardly a small event. (Can you imagine the stock market dropping in price by that amount?) If there had been a correction in the money market within a relatively short time, all would have been OK; but there wasn't. The yen stayed at a relatively high value, and the dollar continued to weaken.
This happened just after Harley-Davidson petitioned the U.S. government for protection against the Japanese motorcycle companies for "dumping." The successful petition resulted in the government placing tariffs of at least 45 percent on all imported motorcycles with engines larger than 700cc.
The weakness of the dollar and the strength of foreign currencies caused a run on used bikes. People saw an opportunity to buy up used bikes and sell them in other countries through partners who were set up to handle the details of shipping and selling abroad.
Before this run on used bikes, there had been a huge buildup of used motorcycles in the United States, more than a million of which were Japanese sportbikes purchased before the Japanese yen jumped in price. So when the yen increased, so did the MSRPs of motorcycles, popular sportbikes in particular. Sales dropped like a ton of rocks.
Does any of this sound familiar? The U.S. dollar has been weakening for the past three years. The used bike population has been increasing for much longer. By 2003 the population of used streetbikes had increased to approximately 6.5 million units, about a third of which were cruisers. Half of those cruisers were of the Harley-Davidson brand.
Now the general economy is on the fringe of a recession, the population of used bikes is excessive, and too many retailers haven't got a clue as to how to merchandise used bikes, especially in a market like this. How many dealers use the off-season to recondition used bikes so they can be ready for sale in the spring? How many get financing for the purchase of popular used bikes that, with some work, would make for profitable sales? If these and other measures aren't taken, people who could be your customers will trade with each other instead.
And don't forget the auctioneers. They are busy handling the most popular used bikes, some of which are being shipped to other countries.
Some older dealers will find these times to be all too familiar. The bright side is that eventually the excess balance of used bikes will be sold, and the market, having survived the economic down-trend, will be ready for the new models that market research tells the OEMs to build.
In the meantime, learn how to deal with those used bikes. — DJB

Filing closes in most cases on Jan. 20
BENTON - With filing open for many city offices for more than a week, apparently candidates may have their minds on the holidays rather than politics. Many towns are still waiting for candidates to file.
But there is still plenty of time. Filing closes in most cases at 5 p.m. Jan. 20 for the positions to be filled in the April election.
Here is a look at some of the races developing:
The incumbents have filed for office in each of the wards to serve on the Benton Board of Aldermen. Geri Hennemann is seeking re-election in Ward 1 and Jim Arteme in Ward 2. Both are for two-year terms.
There are four two-year terms on the board to be filled in the Chaffee, but only two incumbents have indicated plans to seek election. Seeking re-election in Ward 2 is Robert Sullivan and in Ward 4, Jack Nordin. No one has filed for the Ward 1 seat currently held by Doug Dirnberger or for the Ward 3 position now filled by Mitchell Dooley.
No candidates have indicated they will seek election to the three openings on the Morley Board of Alderman. Terms up for election are the office of mayor, which is held by Hallie Granville; the Ward 1 seat now held by Tony Lackey; and the Ward 2 post currently filled by Ron Cookson. All are two-year terms.
Oran voters will elect four members to their Board of Aldermen and a collector next April. The only candidate to put their name in as of earlier this week was collector Marcia Roslen, who is seeking election again. The other seats to be filled are those currently held by Mayor Tom Urhahn, Ward 1 boardmember Ronnie Diebold, Ward 2 boardmember Bob Ressel, Ward 3 boardmember Debbie Madigan and Ward 4 boardmember Jim Westrich. All are two-year terms.
There will be six offices for New Madrid voters to fill in the April election. Already filed are incumbents Mayor Mark Baker, Collector Sherry Phillips and Municipal Judge Bill Boyd. No one has filed yet for the two year terms on the Board of Aldermen currently held by Richard St. Mary, Russell Riggs and Glen Medlin.
A race has developed in Lilbourn for the office of mayor. Incumbent Frank Ash is being challenged for the two-year term by Larry Joe Hamilton. Others seeking election are incumbents Yvonne Morgan, collector; Jamie Decourley, city marshal and Ward 1 Alderman Robert Taylor; while Alvin Bobo has filed for the Ward 2 seat now held by Larry Holtzhouser. No one has filed for the office of municipal judge which is now held by Richard Colwick.
No one had filed yet for the two two-year terms as aldermen on the board at Matthews.
There will be some decisions to be made by Morehouse voters as races develop for offices. In Ward 1, Dennis Kindle and L.V. Brothers have filed along with incumbent Board member Evelyn Comstock. Terry Landers and Jackie Hays Sr. have filed for the two-year term on the board in Ward 2 now held by Eddie Stinnett. Doug Triplett is seeking the one-year unexpired term as city marshal.
Portageville residents have until 4 p.m. Jan. 20 to indicate whether they will seek office in the April election. Already incumbent Lynn Doering has filed for her seat to represent Ward 1 and Bill Foster is seeking re-election as municipal police judge. No one has yet filed for the Ward 2 board seat now filled by Bruce Martin.
There are three board seats to be filled in April in East Prairie but no one had filed earlier this week. The positions are currently held by Billy Hatton, Ward 1; Harold Lemons, Ward 2; and Bobby McTigue, Ward 3.
Charleston, which has a city manager form of government, closed filing for the April election. Seeking election to three-years terms on the council are David Manker, Sandy Harvey and Jackie Whiteside.

Pakistan's army chief wants mass protests settled
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Officials in Pakistan say the country's powerful army chief has asked the government to hold negotiations with protesters to settle a mass demonstration outside parliament.
They say Gen. Rasheel Sharif made the request during a meeting today with Shahbaz Sharif, the younger brother of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The protesters have demanded the premier step down over allegations of fraud in last year's election.

Salam dear readers. How was your weekend?
I feel that I just had a very productive weekend.
Yesterday I joined Karnival Teratak Glam Raya to let go of some of my preloved stuffs. Hanis Zalikha was the mastermind of the whole event and I was offered to share a booth with my dear Lisa Surihani. So blessed. Thank you for the opportunity.
Though it was overwhelming and exhausting I had so much fun! It was so hard to say goodbye to my beloved stuffs but at least I get to meet its new owners and lovers.
I was happy to get to meet so many of my dear readers. Thank you so much for saying hi and for taking photos or selfies with me.
Anyways, many know know my love for sequins by now. So when Adrianna Yariqa came up with their raya collection, it was obvious that my choice would be the ones with sequins! Wanted the black and white one but it was sold out so I got this purple one. Its actually a baju kurung but I wore it like a top and a high-waisted skirt together with the shawl that came with it.
Purple sequins reminds me of purple pills. Random.
Love it!
I'm wearing my baju raya a bit too early, eh? Hehe

For teens, coping with stress, test anxiety, depression, feelings of inadequacy or fighting with parents can be difficult to deal with. Finding ways to lift yourself up, like yourself more, resolve conflicts and feel good about the future makes a difference. There are many ways teens can solve or escape these challenges.
A group of Christian Science youth from Western New York was called together by adults from the Buffalo-Kenmore Christian Science church to form a committee and discuss ways to help teens who are struggling. This group of youngsters, ranging in age from 11 to 18, met to discuss the most prevalent problems faced by teens and preteens today.
The purpose of the meetings was to identify problems and organize events that would help inspire and support teens. The committee is bringing Nate Frederick, a Christian Science practitioner and speaker, to Western New York. He will speak at 11 a.m. Saturday in the Kenmore Branch Library, 160 Delaware Road, Kenmore, and at 3 p.m. Sunday in the Frank E. Merriweather Jr. Library, 1324 Jefferson Ave.
Frederick's talk, titled "God's love … real, reliable and restorative: Solutions to your everyday problems big and small," explores the healing effect of faith through stories, animation, photography and song.
Frederick studied religion at New England's Hampshire College. After graduation, he traveled for a year, which included hiking in the Himalayas. Frederick moved to Boston in 2008 to work for the headquarters of First Church of Christ, Scientist, where he launched his public healing practice. While there, he also started the Monday through Friday, two-minute podcast series "Your Daily Lift," which can be found on the ChristianScience.com website.
During the group meetings, Ameline and Lorine Fauchon from Rosenheim, Germany, who are currently living with their family in Williamsville, shared their unique perspective of being new students to American schools. They commented on what they have observed while attending school here, as well as problems faced by German teens. They have seen kids deal with stress at school, peer pressure, depression, mental ups and downs caused by hormones, aggression, lack of awareness of limits, difficulty accepting authority and inferiority complex.
"Teens will find new ideas for solving their problems and discover maybe unknown possibilities by relying on the power of God," Ameline, a sophomore at Williamsville East High School, said.
"We are looking forward to a lot of new visitors to see that other teenagers are also interested in spiritual topics," said Lorine, a seventh-grader at Transit Middle School.
Jack Oshei, a freshman at the University at Buffalo, said he has learned a lot from the meetings to organize the events.
"I've learned how to write and tailor diverse letters to leaders in our community," he said, adding that he enjoyed the experience of working as a group, making decisions and feeling like a team.
The talks are open to people of all ages.
Eliza Lefebvre is a senior at Sweet Home High School.

Some people in the Palmetto State are getting back a lot of money, courtesy of the Department of Consumer Affairs.
The department says it recovered more than $100,000 for hundreds of people just about month ago. Now they say they have permission to refund a whole bunch of money to people who were customers of a credit repair company.
A spokesperson says Clean Credit USA has to refund $142,000 to nearly 500 customers.
The reason?
The state says it was a business that operated without a credit counseling license, and it charged fees that went well beyond what the Consumer Credit Counseling Act allows.
The refund will be coming to customers who entered into a contract with the company after December 1, 2005.
And on top of all that money, the company will have to pay $214,000 in fines.
All in all, the Department of Consumer Affairs says this is a big win for people in South Carolina, primarily because the credit counseling law is in place to protect people who are experiencing financial difficulties...not hurt them more.

Sulfonamide antibiotic allergy
ASCIA PCC Sulfonamide antibiotic allergy 2015143.47 KB
Note: This document uses spelling according to the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approved terminology for medicines (1999) in which the terms sulfur, sulfite, sulfate, and sulfonamide replace sulphur, sulphite, sulphate and sulphonamide.
Being told that one is allergic to sulfur commonly causes confusion, as many people wrongly assume that they will be allergic to multiple sulfur containing medicines or sulfite preservatives. It is important to know that sulfur is an important building block of life, and that allergic reactions to sulfonamide (sometimes called sulfur) antibiotics do not increase the likelihood that a person will also be allergic to sulfur powder, sulfite preservatives, or non-antibiotic sulfonamide medicines like some pain killers or diuretics (water tablets).
Sulfonamide antibiotic allergy
Sulfonamide antibiotics can cause allergic reactions, ranging from mild to severe rashes through to anaphylaxis, the most severe type of allergic reaction. If you are allergic to one sulfonamide antibiotic, you should avoid all other sulfonamide antibiotics. Sulfonamide antibiotics available on prescription in Australia include:
- Sulfamethoxazole used in combination with trimethoprim, available as Bactrim, Resprim or Septrin.
- Less commonly used sulfonamide antibiotics include Sulfadiazine (tablets, injection or cream), Sulfadoxine (for malaria), and Sulfacetamide antibiotic eye drops.
- Sulfasalazine (Salazopyrin, Pyralin), used in inflammatory bowel disease or arthritis, is a combination sulfapyridine (a sulfonamide antibiotic) and a salicylate.
If you have had an allergic reaction to Bactrim, Resprim or Septrin, there is no way of knowing whether the allergy was to sulfamethoxazole or to trimethoprim, therefore you should avoid trimethoprim (Alprim, Triprim) as well as sulfonamide antibiotics.
There are other types of sulfur containing substances
Elemental sulfur powder This is commonly used in gardening, and while irritation may occur from skin contact or inhalation, allergy has not been described.
Sulfates Some injectable drugs are sulfate compounds, for example heparin sulfate, dextran sulfate, morphine sulfate. The sulfates in soaps (such as sodium lauryl sulfate) are strong detergents and can irritate the skin or eyes, however sulfate itself does not cause allergic reactions. It is usually safe to use a sulfate when a person has a sulfonamide or a sulfite allergy.
Sulfite preservatives Commonly known as sulfur dioxide and metabisulfites, preservative numbers 220-228, sulfites are a group of compounds used to preserve flavour and colour and within food, inhibit bacterial growth, reduce spoilage, stop fresh food from spotting and turning brown and help preserve medication and increase shelf life. They are found most often found in wine, dried fruit, dried vegetables and sometimes sausages and salads. They can also occur naturally in low concentrations. Sulfites can cause adverse reactions which are similar to allergies but do not involve the immune system (intolerances), most commonly asthma symptoms in those with underlying asthma, sometimes allergic rhinitis (hay fever) like reactions, occasionally urticaria (hives) and very rarely, anaphylaxis (allergic shock). Additional information on sulfite sensitivity is provided in a separate information article on the ASCIA website. There is no relationship between sulfite sensitivity and sulfonamide antibiotic allergy.
Non-antibiotic sulfonamide medicines. Some medicines contain sulfonamide molecules unrelated to sulfonamide antibiotics (such as some fluid tablets, diabetes tablets, some pain killers/arthritis tablets).
* It is important to note that these medicines do not need to be avoided by people because they are allergic to sulfonamide antibiotics; the allergy rarely if ever "crosses over".
Confirming the diagnosis
Skin allergy testing may be useful in some cases of suspected sulfonamide antibiotic allergy, but is not considered useful for assessing adverse reactions to sulfite preservatives. Skin testing may assist in distinguishing between allergic reactions to sulfonamide antibiotics and those to trimethoprim in individuals who have reacted to combination antibiotics such as Bactrim, Septrin or Resprim. These procedures are normally conducted by medical specialists (Allergists / Clinical Immunologists).
The mainstay of management is avoidance. Those allergic to one sulfonamide antibiotic, should avoid all sulfonamide antibiotics. Since these antibiotics are not normally used in an emergency, wearing a MedicAlert bracelet is not routinely recommended. Desensitisation protocols to switch off antibiotic allergy temporarily are available should a sulfonamide antibiotic be the only suitable drug to use, but this is not possible in all cases of sulfonamide allergy, and this process does not work for sulfite preservative sensitivity.

I'm interested in finding a good defense for black against 1. e4 and I like the Owen Defense. I think it gives black fairly good chances of getting an equal game.
Please leave your comments about what you think of this opening. Also, if someone knows the opening more thouroughly than I do, please let me know if some of the moves I made were incorrect. Also, if anyone has a suggestion for white, post it and I'll post a game using that variation.
Owen's Defense is simply b6, which transposes to other defenses depending on how white replies and how black responds to white's subsequent moves. It's somewhat a flexible defense although you are pretty much dedicated to a fianchetto of the Bishop (although I have on occasion decline the fianchetto).
If you are not sure on the defense you should play or if you opponent always plays a certain way, it can throw them off to see b6 as a first move. It's not a good defense in itself though.
What's so bad about it? To me it seems pretty good.
Well, it is not so bad as to be a forced loss, but there are known ways for white to gain larger advanatge than against more solid defensive choices.
White plays with a smaller center e4 & d4, puts the B on d3 and Knights on c3 and e2 and gets easy advantage. Also lines with an early 5. Qe2 are rather advantageous for White.
No doubt, the ignorant will flail against it, but stronger players will be well armed to dismantle it and stop whatever trick, traps, and zaps are thematic, leaving Black with a dour position and no way to undermine the solid white center.
Main line: 1. e4 b6 2. d4 Bb7 3. Bd3! Nf6 4. Nc3 e6 5. Nge2! and white has easy play.
Oh c'mon Richie, you've got to give the refutation of the trappiest line:
1.e4 b6 2.d4 Bb7 3.Bd3? f5!
Or so some people think.
3. ...f5 is a blunder. One can even sac the exchange here and play exf5! and let black get his "trick" in.
4. exf5 Bxg2? 5. Qh5! g6 6.fxg6 Bg7 7. gxh7+ and Black is in serious deep poo.
And the line to refute it is...
With the sequence of moves you made in your example, no it does not look bad. Although, who said that is how white will/should play. I know that I would not make most of those moves you have there as white.
There are several.
I gave one nice tricky one above to steal money in blitz, although I usually play 4. Nc3 and beat it with a grinder on the weakened kingfield.
I cannot believe you steal money from the street hustlers in blitz, they need cash like anyone!
No, I win the money from the suits that work in the offices. I am (formerly) one of the homeless underclass that is hustling the haves.
I'm part of the grift against blokes like you, Ozzie.
Here's a look at the lines suggested with a short continuation
First: 1. e4 b6 2. d4 Bb7 3. Bd3! Nf6 4. Nc3 e6 5. Nge2!
The position seems about equal for both sides.
As for: 1.e4 b6 2.d4 Bb7 3.Bd3? f5! 4. exf5 Bxg2? 5. Qh5! g6 6.fxg6 Bg7 7. gxh7+ I will admit that this variation is easily to white's advantage, but only works if black plays 3... f5?
Benedictus: There is such a thing as opening theory. I refer to it:
5. ...Bb4? is a blunder. 6. a3 Bxc3 7. Nxc3 d6 and white is already close to +/-
After 5. Nge2 more usual (and viable) is 5 ....d6, c5 or d5. Giving up the Dark square bishop for no reason is a lemon.
Ok. So Bb4 is a bad move. Remember, I don't know this opening well yet.
If 5... d5 play seems about equal I think.
Benedictus, its time to stop arguing about why this opening is good. Its not good, its not bad but certainly allows white a good advantage. 5. ... d5 seems to be equal but white has a lead in development.
I really like owens defence. Since I dont have time to study other defences due to the amount there is on that defense (eg the sicilian which has about a million books ) I just study a simpler defense as black. when I was much younger I would play caro kann but I have not played in decades and even the caro kann has too much theory, now. So I settled for the unusual owens. I have had great success with it, because many seem to be thrown off by it so they are out of book real fast. I should say i have had great success with 1900 and below players. Anyone master and above I cant seem to beat with any opening unless they are on auto pilot and make a serious blunder.
Anyway I like the fact that not much material is readily available, so your opponent has to work to get info on the opening. I have gone through the book play b6 and I loved it, once you work through the games you will realize that while in theory black does not stand as well as with anohter opening, most players are not masters at least the ones I have played since I am just a club player/ borders star bucks player. So since most are not up on the opening they make a "bad" move and hence black has the advantage. It was easier to learn owens than to restudy all of the caro kann for me. And I have had a lot of success with it about a 90% win rate against 1900 and below. As white I play B4 and B3. But I like B4 a bit more.
So i guess it depends on what level of play you are at. I am not a professional and play for fun and find this defense very enjoyable and easy to learn, but I am not sure if its ay good if you are are really serious.
Isn't the ...Bb4 line in the Owen's defence just a bad French Winawer, because black has commited his other bishop to b7?
I'm referring to the first post, by benedictus: 1. e4 b6 2. d4 Bb7 3. Nc3 e6 4. Nf3 Bb4 5. Bd3 Bxc3+ 6. bxc3 d5 7. e5, isnt this a french winawer where white saved a tempo by not playing a3 and black already has ...b6 and ...Bb7 in.
This is not the refutation which was listed in Chess Life awhile back, but unfortunately the only move from that line that I recall is Nf3! at some point.
That is how and why I catch people with it.

Debbie: (about Makazian) I won't lie, he's dead. He didn't have a good thing to say about anyone. He did feel he could trust you, Tony. He said it a lot that at least with Tony Soprano, you knew where you stand.
Tony: I won't hurt a man I love because of some cop gossip from a degenerate fucking gambler with a badge.
Makazian: You know, you got an amazing ability to sum up a man's whole life in a single sentence. Degenerate gambler with a badge, huh? You're a pisser. You're a real pisser.
Altieri: Come on, it's a friendly card game.
FBI Agent: Relax, Jimmy. If I wanted to bust up card games, I'd have a doughnut in my mouth.
Mikey: I may be getting bumped up a notch or two. Tony Soprano's on his way out, and I mean as in forever.
Jojo: Oh, my God. He's going to jail?
Mikey: No, the other forever…
Tony: (about Vin) What did he come here for, therapy?
Debbie: You could say that.
Tony: Instead of a couch you use a bed. It's not a bad idea.
Debbie: Hey, who wouldn't want to sleep with their shrink?
Tony: What does that mean?
Debbie: You'd be amazed how much easier it is to open up, when you're naked and in the arms of some who cares for you.
Tony: (joking with Big Pussy about his son) He's a good lookin' kid. Are you sure he's yours?
Tony: Listen I want you to keep your eye on Pussy. There's something wrong with him. He's not himself.
Christopher: You're tellin' me. You know he hasn't even done his rounds in a week. He's startin' to look like an easy mark.
Paulie: I told him, someone owes you money, even if you gotta crawl, you get it.
Meadow: I don't think sex should be a punishable offense.
Tony: You know honey, that's where I agree with you. I don't think sex should be a punishable offense either. But I do think talking about sex at the breakfast table is a punishable offense. So no more sex talk, okay.
Meadow: It's the 90s. Parents are supposed to discuss sex with their children.
Tony: Yeah, but that's where you're wrong. You see out there it's the 1990s but in this house it's 1954. 1990s. 1954. So now and forever I don't want to hear any more sex talk.
Tony: So, your father tells me you're taking up astronomy in college.
Kevin: No, business.
Tony: Well how come he keeps sayin' you're takin' up space in school?
Vice Cop: Look at this; a doctor, a madam, a wiseguy, and a cop. That's what I call a vice superfecta.
Reporter: I don't what's more embarrassing-to be caught in a bordello or to be caught with the wiseguy.
Junior: We don't run, it's embarrassing.

Swain Tie Station and Transmission Lines
Overall Project Description
Electricity demand in western North Carolina continues to rise especially in Swain and Jackson counties. The reason is a combination of commercial and residential development, including the current expansion of Harrahs Cherokee Casino and Hotel.
In the coming years, the areas existing electrical infrastructure will be unable to support this rising demand. Thats why its important for Duke Energy to complete substantial upgrades to the grid, like the installation of the future Swain Tie Station and associated transmission line improvements. These projects will provide the area with ample electricity capacity for years to come.
Duke Energy held a public workshop about the project on Nov. 16, 2010, at the Swain County Community Center. The company presented information and visuals about the location of the future tie station and the route of the associated transmission lines. Duke Energy representatives also addressed questions from government officials and community members.
The Swain Tie Station will be located off of Industrial Park Road in Swain County. The associated transmission lines will originate at the existing Wests Mill Line and extend one-half mile north to the new tie station.
Site work is currently under way for the station. Construction of both the station and new transmission lines will begin in early 2012 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.
Please send your questions and comments to email@example.com.

I've been wondering about this. My assumption has been that the performance flight will be the early tee times while the open flight will all be later. They've always leaned toward the best players getting later tee times so I assume that will not change. I'm really looking forward to this as well. While I wish I could be a little more competitive with the big boys, I'm perfectly happy playing the performance flight. It's kind of like playing Pickard. If I shoot 51 out there I don't really care if it's against Fausch on some random evening, at a night of Bushwhackers, or at the Challenge. I'm gonna enjoy playing well at a great course no matter what the conditions are.

Cornerstones Builds New Co-op Housing for Artists on Alberta Avenue
June 30, 2011
Sixteen new apartment suites for artists will open with the help of a $2.4 million investment by the City of Edmonton and the Government of Alberta through the Cornerstones Affordable Housing Program.
ArtsHab Alberta Avenue is a new $3.7 million affordable housing cooperative building for artists that includes one-bedroom and studio suites as well as ground floor commercial space occupied by the Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts, which opened in 2010. An artists' co-operative will manage the residential units under a 50-year lease and make the units available to people involved in artistic endeavours at a maximum of 85 per cent of average market rents. Potential tenants are encouraged to apply online at Arts Habitat Association.
The project will increase the supply of local affordable housing and help the City of Edmonton and the Alberta Avenue community in their joint efforts to revitalize the 118th Avenue area.
"Edmonton's arts community is one of our city's great strengths," said Mayor Stephen Mandel. "ArtsHab Alberta Avenue is an innovative new building that will make housing and studio space available to those who work in the arts. It will help artists continue to enhance the rich fabric of our city by giving them a fitting place from which to share their vibrant and creative vision. This project is about revitalizing communities by investing in people."
Partners in the ArtsHab Alberta Avenue project include the Arts Habitat Association, the Edmonton Inner-City Housing Society and the Artists Urban Village.
"ArtsHab is a great example of how provincial-municipal partnerships can build a better Alberta," said Lindsay Blackett, Minister of Culture and Community Spirit. "By providing a hand up for hard-working, lower-income artists, they can be active contributors to the local economy and culture while further enriching the lives of Albertans."
"ArtsHab Alberta Avenue is home to Edmonton's first affordable housing co-op for artists," says Linda Huffman, General Manager of the Arts Habitat Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to finding, managing and developing space for the arts. "This project is a new cornerstone in the arts-led revitalization of 118 Avenue. The artists who form the co-op look forward to living and working in this dynamic community."
The City of Edmonton's Cornerstones Plan brings communities, businesses and governments together to develop affordable housing. Created by Edmonton City Council in partnership with the Government of Alberta and community organizations, the Cornerstones program supports Council's strategic vision to improve Edmonton's livability and manage growth.
As of year-end in 2010, 2,542 safe, secure homes have been provided for citizens and families in need under the Cornerstones program. The program has already exceeded City Council's goal to develop an additional 2,500 affordable homes by 2011.

Last year, prominent East Bay developers Joe Callahan and Jack Smith were gleeful about Garin Vista, their proposed hillside subdivision that would afford future residents a panoramic view of the San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco skylines.
Now, they are fighting furiously to stabilize the damaged slope, chopping off an 80-foot-deep section of hillside before the coming rainy season sends it slipping away. The deepest part of the slide is 140 feet deep, Callahan said.
"About May 7, as we're cutting up the hill, we experienced what can only be called a bulge in the midslope of the grading area," said Callahan, poring over a map and describing how "this whole mass, which is approximately 1.8 million cubic yards, has moved down the hill."
The landslide, known as a slump, came as an unpleasant surprise to the developers as they were about halfway through their regular cut-and-fill work, and it has jeopardized the economic feasibility of their project, they said. Callahan estimates it will cost up to $7 million to fix, and that is compounded by the problems caused by a poor housing market.
"It's gone through the sky. We really don't have a hold on it," said Smith, who was Hayward's mayor in the late 1960s.
For neighbors, the slide also presents concerns. On the west side of the hill, the slide already has encroached into more than an acre of Garin Park, owned by the East Bay Regional Park District. It has affected the parking lot of a nearby apartment complex.
And it has frustrated residents of Bodega Street, who complain of the daily din of a Ride of the Valkyries-style fleet of earth-moving vehicles.
A chain of eight to 12 of the 170-ton scrapers rumbles up and down the slope every day, tasked with emergency grading that will haul hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of soil off the hill by mid-October.
History of slides
For those who know Garin Vista by its old name, Blue Hill, the slide has not come as such a surprise. For one thing, the foot of the hill also marks the main trace of the Hayward fault.
"We were told when we moved in here almost 40 years ago that they'd never be able to build on that hill because it's unstable, it would slide," said neighbor Sharon Golden. "And during rainy seasons, it did slide."
Adelaide Moita, an 80-year-old Bodega Street resident who has lived beside the hill her entire life, said men have been tampering with the slope since before she was born.
The first one, according to local legend, was the Rev. Agapius Honcharenko, a fugitive Ukrainian anarchist and priest who established a 19th-century commune in the Hayward hills. The priest hoped he could find diamonds in the hill's bluish slate, Moita said.
"That was the rumor," she said. "I've heard it ever since I was little. I don't think he ever found any diamonds in it, though."
Next, for sure, came the quarry developers. The bulk of the boring happened at neighboring La Vista Quarry, whose dark, chiseled scars can still be seen from the opposite side of San Francisco Bay.
But inexperienced quarry workers also dug into Blue Hill, at a time before there were strict regulations on how to work the land for materials. Smith, who has family connections to the property dating back to the 19th century, said the quarry operations were haphazard and ended by the early 1950s.
"They just took the materials from the best areas there were," he said.
Smith has pledged over the years that the developments will improve, not worsen, the land by smoothing over the property's scars.
He said he still believes that's the case, but the developers and engineering partner Frank Berlogar did not foresee how deep into the earth the problems were. They didn't drill deep enough to find a dangerous layer of loose, granular material, they said.
"We missed the bad material by about 20 to 30 feet," Smith said. "We drilled 100-foot holes. If we drilled further, we would have known."
Another firm, Dublin-based DeSilva Gates, won city approval in 2005 to turn the La Vista Quarry into a 179-home subdivision. At the time, the same company was working to transform its steep-sided Leona Quarry in Oakland into a housing development, along with other quarries throughout the Bay Area.
That was followed in February 2006 by the Hayward City Council's split 5-2 vote to allow Smith's company to build another 125 homes at the Garin Vista site, just to the south. Current plans would link both developments with a new eastward extension of Tennyson Road that would loop back to Alquire Parkway.
But the La Vista project is largely on hold because of the problems with its neighbor, although Callahan said the poor housing market means that no one is in a big hurry anymore.
DeSilva is supplying the scrapers that Garin Vista developers are using to repair their slide. All of that excess dirt is dumped into a gully at the foot of the La Vista property that is designated by city leaders for a future public park.
Callahan said the park was not intended to have all that extra soil, but he insists the altered grading won't affect its viability the park would be the same size, just a little bit higher above sea level.
And although the hills are marked by several large green veins of asbestos-bearing serpentine, Callahan said all of the hauled material will be carefully capped according to environmental regulations.
Bob Bauman, Hayward's public works director, said city officials have been monitoring the landslide since it happened. Engineers worked with Garin Vista developers over the summer to formulate a testing regimen and repair plan that both city officials and developers could agree with.
A troublesome rock layer
The slump slide occurred because the underground gravelly layer of rock that developers didn't know about moved down the slope plane. A fissure ripped through the upper end of the hill, and a bulging mass of rock rests at the bottom.
Callahan said he is not sure if it is water-related, but the hills do often have seeps in them and water can fall from a much higher point, finding a soft spot, he said.
Slides are not uncommon in the East Bay hills, said Roland Burgmann, a geology professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and there is always an "unknown factor" when anyone seeks to grade a steep slope.
"If it's not strong bedrock, and you have a slope greater than the angle of repose, then effectively it's a sandpile," Burgmann said. "If you have a big pile of sand, then the hill will want to keep sliding down until it gets to that angle of repose."
City Councilman Olden Henson, who lives nearby and expressed enthusiasm about Garin Vista in 2006, said the incident might be a "telling point" that causes the city to "close the door on future development" in such areas.
His own subdivision has one unoccupied house because of a drainage-related slide several years ago, he said.
And Moita said that in the 1960s, a poorly managed subdivision project on today's Woodland Avenue caused a major slide that threatened her street.
"They cut the slope. There was water coming out of three places, and so the slope gave in and the water came around the road," she said. "They had a one-to-one slope and it was like 30 feet deep, straight up and down, practically. That was their fault."
She said she remembers going to Smith, who was mayor or councilman at the time, and being told the city couldn't do anything about it.
Today, Smith said he is committed to solving the neighborhood's latest land problems. He said that although it might come at a great cost to him, the end product might be a better development, with bigger lots and better views because of the smoother slope.
"We're not going to leave it, we're going to fix it," Callahan added. "We have an obligation to make this safe, and we're going to damn well do that."

NIST, IAPP Host Privacy Engineering Workshop in September 2014
From NIST Tech Beat: August 12, 2014
Jennifer Huergo
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will hold its second Privacy Engineering Workshop in San Jose, Calif., Sept. 15 and 16, 2014. The event is co-sponsored by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) and is part of NIST's efforts to address the lack of well-developed models, technical standards and best practices in privacy risk management.
The workshop will focus on a set of draft privacy engineering objectives and a risk model that were developed by NIST using input from its first workshop on the subject, held in April 2014. That initial meeting attracted participants from a broad array of companies, advocacy groups, associations, government agencies and universities, among others. It explored the idea that dealing with privacy issues needed a framework for analysis analogous to those used in other fields.
"The first workshop revealed a communication gap between the legal and policy experts and the design and engineering teams that makes it difficult for organizations to manage privacy concerns effectively, understand risks and implement mitigating controls," says Naomi Lefkovitz, senior privacy policy advisor at NIST. "The NIST privacy engineering work is an effort to bridge this gap. We want to help develop a privacy risk management framework that can help organizations get consistent and measurable results in privacy protection, and can help with the implementation of privacy principles such as the Fair Information Practice Principles."
NIST's draft privacy engineering objectives are predictability, manageability and confidentiality. They're meant to be used in much the same way that cybersecurity experts design for the trio of confidentiality, integrity and availability. An analysis framework helps organizations manage risk, design system requirements, and evaluate their effectiveness at achieving these objectives.
The draft system privacy risk management model provides a proposed method for organizations to allocate resources and make informed choices about privacy in systems. It is intended to help them identify where controls can most effectively be implemented and facilitate steps to mitigate privacy risks.
"Finding a common set of terms and definitions is key to improving the maturity of the privacy conversation, the same way as it was to improving security," says Suzanne Lightman, a senior information security advisor at NIST. "And while there are many sets of principles that address handling personal information, organizations and individuals still struggle to effectively communicate about privacy in the face of rapidly evolving technologies."
The September workshop participants will consider these draft concepts and their input will help NIST develop a report on privacy engineering that the organizers hope will guide users, owners, developers and designers of information systems that handle personal information so they can make purposeful decisions about resource allocation and effective implementation of controls to decrease risks to privacy.Access the privacy engineering objectives and risk model draft and register for the September workshop at www.nist.gov/itl/csd/privacy-engineering-workshop-september-15-16-2014.cfm.

Another water threat looms upstream
- From: The Advertiser
- November 27, 2012
THE notoriously short memories and self-interest of those charged with protecting Australia's fragile riverine ecosystems are again highlighted today.
On the one hand, there is the historic agreement on management of the Murray-Darling Basin, but at the same time there's myopia of the Queensland Government over the Lake Eyre Basin.
First, let us celebrate the historic achievement of national agreement on the Murray, which will return significant environmental flows to the river.
The relief of South Australian Liberal MPs over the decision by Tony Abbott to lock the Coalition into the Government plan was palpable, having been boxed into a corner in recent months over their inability to get on board the campaign to save a waterway of such significance to the future of the state.
But there are many other views in the Coalition, ranging up to a "steady as she goes" approach which would have guaranteed continuing problems into the future.
Bipartisanship is never easy in the Australian Parliament and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott should be commended for locking in the Coalition to a unified approach, and one which favours the environment and sustainability over short-term gain.
But as one crucial environmental and sustainability fight is won, another begins with the Liberal National Party Government in Queensland planning to use its large parliamentary majority to abolish the Wild Rivers Act which protects the rivers that feed Lake Eyre from over-exploitation.
The previous Queensland Labor government provided protection under the Wild Rivers Act earlier this year. But the incoming administration has signalled its intention to remove that protection, while putting some other system of its own in place.
These Channel Country Rivers the Georgina River, Diamantina River and Cooper's Creek take water from the tropical north of the country to the arid heart. Although infrequent, the influx is very significant environmentally and for tourism.
Waterbirds move in from coastal areas to feed and breed. Many of the pelicans, ducks, egrets and herons in SA are likely to have bred in Lake Eyre and the freshwater rivers feeding into it.
When the Act is repealed, this system will again be at risk of over-extraction for irrigation and mining.
Wi-fi a net gain for city
ADELAIDE needs points of difference to make the city stand out from its bigger rivals on the eastern seaboard as an attractive place to live, work and visit.
Rolling out free wi-fi in the city centre would be just such a point of difference. It would enhance South Australia's reputation as socially progressive, even if conservative on matters such as heritage.
The Adelaide City Council and State Government have taken the first step by offering $1.5 million to establish the wi-fi network.
It is now up to business to take that seed funding and develop a viable concept which will be easily accessible, efficient and well-publicised to locals and visitors.
Technology is closing the gaps of time and distance that have long been a drag on this state. A free wi-fi network will connect people in the city to friends, family, businesses and services near and far.
Adelaide will be well served by being well connected.

Breaking News: Judge Kent Cops Plea, Resigns
Well, that was quick. Texas federal judge Samuel Kent, whose criminal trial was slated to start today, has copped a plea. The jurist pleaded guilty to one count of obstruction of justice today and retired from the bench, avoiding a trial on several charges that he sexually abused two female employees. Click here for the story from the Houston Chronicle; here for an earlier LB post on Kent from today (which contains links to previous LB coverage).
"Judge Kent believes that this settlement is in the best interest of all involved," his attorney, Dick DeGuerin, said after this morning's hearing. "A trial would have been long, embarrassing and difficult for all involved."
The obstruction charge, which accuses Kent of lying to a panel that was investigating the sexual-abuse allegations, carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, although people close to the case expect the government to ask Vinson to sentence Kent to three years in prison. Sentencing is expected in May.

WAREHAM — The use of urgent care centers to deliver non-emergency health care without the need for appointments has worked so well for Southcoast Hospitals Group, the organization is opening its second site in September and is looking to build two more centers in the region.
Keith Hovan, CEO and president of Southcoast Health System, announced the plans for two new urgent care sites at the opening of the Southcoast Health Urgent Care Center in Wareham. The site officially opens for medical care on Sept. 2.
Speaking at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Wareham center, Hovan said the Westport site will be open later this year and work is being done to identify a fourth location. He did not specify where the Westport facility will be located.
The new Wareham facility provides medical care without an appointment when patients want it, Hovan said. It will be staffed with four professionals daily with some variation of physicians, allied health professionals, and registered nurses, in addition to front desk staff. It is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.
The center's location, in the Wareham Crossing retail plaza, provides easy access from I-195.
The Wareham facility is modeled after the Fairhaven Urgent Care Center which opened in 2013. That center saw double the amount of community use in its first six months than had been expected, Hovan said.
"What we learned is there is a real need for immediate care," said Dr. Pamela Spatz, a physician with 30 years of experience in emergency medicine, who will direct the Wareham facility.
The Wareham design was based on Fairhaven with some improvements, according to Spatz. One of the lessons learned was the need for more examination rooms and the addition of a triage room, she said.
Spatz described some of the ailments urgent care staff are equipped to handle as broken bones, sore throats, earaches, and tick bites.
"We diagnose things that need follow up," she said, noting that the facility is connected to Southcoast Health systems of care. "We can hook them up with our Patient Care Connect and help them get follow up appointments."
Spatz also noted that Southcoast's Rosebrook medical building, less than a mile away, has a staff of physicians and specialists, and medical imaging equipment that can be accessed when needed.

"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on,rely on or blame.The gift of life is yours;...and you alone is responsible for the quality of it." Dan Zadra
I broke my kind of diet not that I had one in the first place. I was laying in bed when all of a sudden I my mouth started watering profusely for POPTARTS! yes and not just the plain ones...the ones with icing on top. AND THEN i had PIZZA SMOTHERED IN RANCH! Goodness. Oh and this morning for breakfast I had a buffalo wrap. I might as well just go to taco bell if I'm going to do this stuff. I've never had a mouth watering craving before. Oh and the weird thing was after my workout yesterday I looked 10 times fatter than when I started. I looked it up and it says something like muscles softening..looking like fat? I don't remember at the moment but its gone down now. I look ten times better already! Today I felt like I was sick. I should have taken my temp but instead I sneezed and felt yucky and just wanted to sleep. Even though I was sick I decided to go to the gym just for a little while. My Workout: My goal was to go for 2 hours (before I got sick) but I just went for about an hour? I tried to run on the treadmill but I couldnt even run for a minute so I got on the bike and slowly peddled for 50 minutes. I then did some leg exercises with the leg machines (I really should learn the name of them for you). Then I got on one of those big rubber balls put a medician ball in my hands, extended my arms out infront of me and I laid down on the ball (with my legs off of it making a bridge +with my feet on the ground) and I did sit ups. Oh and I did a one minute plank.
My food goodness I don't even want to put it down so I'm not...oh wait its up above. Although for dinner I had tomato soup again with an avocado sandwich. I also took a ton of vitamin C and one of those "one a day women" pills. Hope I'm not sick tomorrow.
Hope you are doing well.

For the first time in Maranatha history, the Crusader football team notched a win on Israeli soil, with a 49-6 thumping of the newly formed Israeli National Blue and White Team.
Maranatha has also played local teams in Juvinac, France in 1995, North Ireland in 1998 but this was the first National team played in Crusader history.
The game also marked the first international competition in the history of Israel, in the sport of American football and the first 11-man football game for the Blue and White squad.
Maranatha waited no longer than the first Blue and White turnover to convert on their first play of the game, a 25-yard pass from quarterback Phil Littrell (Valrico, Fla.) to Josiah Brendemeuhl (Mishicot, Wis.).
The Israeli squad scored in the second quarter to trail just 7-6, but Drew DeLozier (Watertown, Wis.) and Jordan Dersch (Prattville, Ala.) each scored touchdowns and Shane Saxon's safety gave MBBC a 23-6 halftime lead.
The second half was all Maranatha, as all 21 players received significant playing time in front of 500 fans.
The post-game included media interviews with many players and coaches, as well as opportunity to sing "Victory in Jesus." The interviews found their way into this Washington Post article.
Maranatha alumnus Jay Armstead was instrumental in scheduling the game, having coached in both the IFL and the Israeli High School League. He was an assistant coach for the Israeli Blue and White Team. Jay and his wife Nancy were gracious hosts to the Crusaders throughout the week.
Coach Phil Price remarked, "We prayed for a long time prior to this event that God would glorify Himself through this and that He would use us to be a light for Him. Thank you to everyone for their prayer and financial support!"

Many of us think about scaling down our hours at the office when we become moms (heck, even if we aren't moms!). And a recent study finds that mothers who cut back a bit -- but don't quit altogether -- might be the happiest moms of all.
According to the study, published in the Journal of Family Psychology, moms who worked less than 33 hours per week were less depressed and had less work-family conflict than both stay-at-home moms and full-time moms. Interestingly, moms who worked either part- or full-time were less depressed than moms who didn't work at all.
So is working — but not to the point of burnout — the key to happiness? Ann Pleshette Murphy, parenting educator and author of The 7 Stages of Motherhood: Loving Your Life Without Losing Your Mind, says she isn't surprised to hear that part-time working moms seem to be the happiest.
When she was researching her book, Murphy says full-time working moms would often tell her they wished they could cut back to part-time, while many of the stay-at-home moms expressed a desire to have something to do that would reconnect them with the other parts of themselves, especially if they had jobs that they really loved before they had kids.
"Even those moms who really define themselves as moms and feel that being a mom is just as rewarding as any job they could have — even those moms, I would guess, crave a little adult time," says Murphy. "And there is certainly some satisfaction in earning some money, even if it's minimal." Moms who work full-time, on the other hand, often feel they have to "do it all," says Murphy, and therefore become highly pressured (though financially, and for the sake of your career, there's often no other choice).
So how can you feel happier and less stressed, regardless of how much you work? Here are Murphy's three tips:
1. Take the "slice of salami" approach.
Murphy has a friend who seems to accomplish one goal after another. Her secret? One slice at a time. Dream of writing a book? Start by writing 15 minutes a day, if that's all you can do. Want to reorganize your laundry-room/disaster area? Break the job down into very small, bite-sized slices, and slowly plug away at them.
2. Give yourself credit for ALL the little things you do.
"This is so important," says Murphy, who remembers fondly the time when her young son reminded her she had indeed accomplished a lot one day — including "finding Lego Man's hair!"
"Sitting with your child while he takes a bath, or playing a game before work in the morning — those aren't things you put on a to-do list, but they're essential, and they count."
3. Really DO take time for yourself.
Listen to that inner voice that tells you it's time to take some "me-time" to recharge your batteries. "If it's an absolutely gorgeous day and you've been at your desk, or folding laundry all day, get out! Go for a walk," she says. You deserve it. And you need it.

Some of indie's biggest stars performed in the name of hurricane relief at a benefit show on Saturday which included Dirty Projectors, Vampire Weekend, Real Estate, the Walkmen, Devendra Banhart, and Cass McCombs.
The instantly-sold-out show was held at St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Brooklyn to benefit Occupy Sandy, the organized relief effort created to assist victims of Hurricane Sandy. The show came together within just a couple of days boasted quite an impressive music lineup.
Highlights included a stripped-down and vocal-heavy performance by Dave Longstreth, Amber Coffman, and Haley Dekle of Dirty Projectors, 3/5ths of the Walkmen, joined by a horn section of friends and family members, and Devendra Banhart's whimsical (yet way too short) set.
