Skill Level Intermediate
In the past I used to find myself spending extra hours or even an extra day in an airport at least once a year, because I had done the time zone math incorrectly and arrived too late to board my flight, and from time to time I've scheduled a meeting in a different time zone at a time that was very inconvenient for other participants. In Outlook we solved both of these problems by allowing me to schedule not just times, but time zones, and by allowing me to reflect time zones on my calendar. When you open an appointment or create an appointment and choose a particular time Microsoft Outlook is storing that time not as 10 o'clock in the morning for example, but as a particular time based on zero time zone or Greenwich mean Time which is the time in Britain.
So I'm on the East Coast right now. If I were to choose a particular time it's actually -5 hours from London Time or -5 GMT. If I'm in the West Coast to the United States Pacific time, that's -8 GMT. In other words, whatever time it is in London it's going to roll around to being that time in Seattle or California eight hours later minus eight hours GMT. So this is how Outlook stores calendar information and that's why when I create an appointment Outlook is time zone aware.
If I create an appointment at 3 o'clock in the afternoon Eastern Time and email it to you or invite you to it and you're on the West Coast, you'll know that I'm actually inviting you to a meeting that is three hours earlier for you. My minus five hours, your minus eight hours, the difference is three hours and so it's very easy for Outlook to quickly do this math around time zones, much easier for Outlook than it is for me. One of the first things that I want to be able to do is actually look at more than one time zone.
I am going to switch to a Day view, I could do this in a Week view as well and earlier we learned how to change the detail level here in the time scale. I can also show an additional time zone by right-clicking in the time scale, right-clicking right in this area here and choosing Change Time Zone. So here are my Time Zones. Notice that I'm in Pacific Time right now, so I could say that this is PST and I can show a second time zone and the second time zone I am going to show I want it actually show Eastern Time.
So I am going to show EST and I'm going to choose Eastern Time US and Canada and say OK. So I see always right next to calendar my time zone, which says that if I set up an appointment here I will be setting it up for 10 o'clock in morning, but that it will be 1 o'clock in the Eastern zone. The beauty of this is that you can easily see when you're going to inconvenience people. You won't be doing the math backwards in your head and thinking, well, if we held at 10 o'clock it will be 7 a.m. there, right? No, it will be 1 p.m. One of the things I'm asked often is, can I show more than one time zone and the answer is, unfortunately no.
You can only show one. So right-click, go back to Change Time Zone, if I decide that when I'm setting up a series of appointments for when I'm traveling for example to Chicago that I want to just while I was setting these up be able to see my Chicago Time Zone; I can just label it Chicago. I can choose central time, say OK, and set up these appointments so that I'm clearly setting them up. I am on the phone with somebody and they say, can we meet at one o'clock and I say, yes, and I don't do this time zone math wrong, I have one o'clock Chicago Time.
While you're in his change time zone area there's a button that looks just ever so attractive that says Swap Time Zones. I want to strongly encourage you not to click the Swap Time Zones button. What it will do is it will take all of your appointments that are currently in your time zone, in this case Pacific Standard Time, and it will change them all to the other time zone and your calendar all of a sudden will be very different. So the Change, the Swap Time Zones function is really meant for I'm moving from being based in the Pacific Time zone, maybe my office in California, to working out of Chicago.
So I want to take all of the appointments that I already half and I'd like everything to be shifted to the Chicago Time zone. Again, don't click this just to see what it does or to find out what's going on with it, not a good idea. When you're done showing that second time zone just turn it off right here, and click OK. Now, that's a great way not to inconvenience people in other time zones when you're setting up appointments, but it hasn't taken care of my airport problem. Let me show you what it does that for me. When I create a new appointment, for example, I'm going to fly from Denver back to Michigan, and my flight time is at 11 o'clock in the morning, but that's 11 o'clock in the morning Eastern Time.
It's not the time in Denver. I'm going to click the Time Zones option here and I want to say that I'm going to be flying from Mountain Time and arriving in Eastern Time. So now when I put my flight times in they're going to make sense. So my flight is not at 11 o'clock in the morning in Eastern Time, my flight is at 11 o'clock in the morning in my own time and I will be landing at 5:15 p.m. Eastern Time. That makes perfect sense. Now when I synchronize Outlook with my smartphone or my iPhone or my Blackberry, Microsoft Outlook knows how to do the math.
So when I'm walking around in Denver and I asked for reminder three hours before my flight, I am going to get that reminder at eight o'clock in the morning Mountain Time, which is exactly what I want to have happen. So I won't be missing my flight at the airport by thinking, oh, I have a couple more hours to go, when I really don't. So whether you're scheduling appointments in a different time zone or need to have your calendar accurately reflect local times for travel, Outlook's Time Zone features always do the time zone math correctly and automatically every single time.

Caesar-Style Puntarelle
Puntarelle is a crisp, spiky Italian green related to chicory. If you can get it, you're in luck. If not, escarole is a great substitute.
Braised Duck Legs with Polenta and Wilted Chard
You can braise the duck on Saturday and crisp it Sunday, which pares down the day-of duties.
Rigatoni with Brussels Sprouts, Parmesan, Lemon, and Leek
If your largest skillet isn't large enough to hold 12 oz. pasta and toss everything together, dump the mixture back into the pot from cooking the rigatoni and toss.
Pasta e Fagioli with Escarole
Parmesan rind and a kitchen sink's worth of aromatics give heady flavor to this classic pasta fagioli recipe with beans and pasta.
Fennel Gratin with Walnut-Thyme Breadcrumbs
A doubly crunchy topping marks a breakthrough moment for creamy roasted fennel.
Celery Caesar Salad
We're into the celery-on-celery concept, but you could make this with celery root alone and it would be great.
Toasted Orecchiette with Veal Meatballs
If you prefer all-pork (or all-veal) meatballs, go ahead and make that change.
Endive and Fennel Gratin
The liquid will not submerge the endive at first, and that's okay. Take the gratin out of the oven after 10 minutes and press down with a spatula to submerge the endive in cream.
Fried Chicken Thighs with Cheesy Grits
If you prefer white-meat chicken, use skinless, boneless breasts that have been cut in half crosswise.
Bucatini with Walnut-Parsley Pesto
That parsley in your fridge is lonely! Let it hang with chiles and walnuts for your next weeknight pasta.

Peyton Manning can't do this all by himself.
Denver's defense will have to do its part if the Broncos are going to have the special kind of season so many expect of them. Football chief John Elway swapped unconventional quarterback Tim Tebow for the only four-time MVP in NFL history, seeking to add to the two Super Bowl trophies he won during his Hall of Fame playing career.
Besides landing the biggest prize in the free agency era in Manning, the Broncos made several changes on a defense led by former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio, Denver's eighth defensive coordinator in eight seasons.
The Broncos will be without leading tackler D.J. Williams to start the season, however, and maybe also Elvis Dumervil.

[1]It's A Mommy Thing 4 Older Women Do It Better! An assemblage of the most beautiful and depraved MILFs! Watch now on LiteroticaVOD! [2]Free Original Erotic Stories. [3]tag [4]Incest/Taboo[5]Christmas with MomPage 4 Christmas with Mom by[6]Ahabscribe(c) Mom raised an eyebrow and then used a finger to scoop some of my seed off her chin. Mom licked my cum off here finger and then leaned in, saying, "I always taught you to share!" and kissed me, smearing my own semen against my lips and face. We fell back into the bed, laughing and kissing until we were out of breath. Finally, I said, "I wish we could do this every Christmas, Mom." Mom purred happily and replied, "Sounds wonderful to me. I'll see what I can do." We curled up together and Mom began to softly snore. I held her for what seemed hours in my arms, looking down at the most beautiful woman I have ever known, marveling that this voluptuous, black haired woman, my mother was now my lover. Mom was smiling in her sleep, an angelic smile of one who is perfectly content. Finally, I drifted off to sleep as well. I woke to the smells of breakfast and Christmas dinner cooking. Mom was up, singing to herself as she cooked, wearing my sweatshirt and no longer worried about showing off her meaty ass or her lovely, furry pussy. Mom gave me a cock hardening kiss as she served me breakfast, her hand stroking my penis as she watched me eat. I helped her get the ham into the oven and then she said, she needed something in her oven as well and we retired to the bed for a sweet bout of lovemaking. Our Christmas Day passed by too quickly, our time divided by eating, talking and making love. Mom and I couldn't seem to keep our hands off each other. Even when my cock reached its temporary limits, I couldn't leave her alone, taking my sweet time in eating Mom's pussy, rendering her into a babbling, sobbing mass of orgasming woman. And we talked -- oh, how we talked! Things that had long been in our hearts were finally said that Christmas Day. Mom confessed that she had long harbored intense feelings for me -- "Not just lust, John, although I dreamed of your cock so many times," Mom said, "But, just knowing that I was in love with you, but thinking it was just a phase for you was so terrible. I knew you were infatuated with me, but I thought it was a phase you'd pass through and then move on. I've expected and feared for years that some girl would steal you away from me. I know it would be the right thing, but I knew it would break my heart!" "No one's going to steal me away, Mom. I'm your's heart and soul." I said in return, hugging her tightly. I confessed to her that I think I had been in love with her since I was a young teenager. "I was helping you plant flowers one day and I looked up from working a flower bed and you were maybe ten feet away, kneeling. You were dressed in old cut-off jean shorts and a skimpy halter top, that old green one with the bandana pattern, you remember? I looked up and you were looking at me and there was something about the way you were smiling at me. Your cheeks were dirt stained and you had your hair pulled back in pigtails and I felt my heart just swell. I could barely breathe, you looked so beautiful and happy and your smile did something to me, Mom. Since that day, I think I've been head over heels in love with you." I felt myself becoming choked up. "I guess I always have wanted this to happen, but I never really thought it would." I stroked Mom's face and said, "I'm the luckiest son in the world!" Mom did tear up then and leaned into me, kissing me after whispering, "I love you so much, John!" Our talk took us down many different paths. Mom discussed how unhappy she had been all the years, her lustful needs suppressed in a loveless marriage. Mom aroused herself as she talked about her desires and fantasies over the years, aching to be a part of the sexually free movements of the nineteen sixties and seventies. "There's a part of me, son, a sluttish, nymphomaniac side of me that has dreamed of becoming unleashed to satisfy all my naughty desires, to becoming besotted with sex, to celebrate my sexuality in front of the whole world." There was a hungry tone in Mom's voice, a quiet intensity that was both daunting and arousing. I wanted to see that side of Mom unleashed. Mom also piqued my curiosity as we discussed the incestuous nature of our relationship. We both agreed that the knowledge that we were mother and son was a very special and maybe essential ingredient to our relationship. I told Mom I couldn't imagine loving anyone. "Who loves a son as much as his mother?" I said. Mom nodded thoughtfully and replied, "Well, maybe we do come by it naturally. Incest runs in our family." That got my attention and I asked Mom what she meant, but she just smiled and said she wasn't ready to talk about that yet. "Someday soon, John, but let your mother have a few secrets a few months longer." Nothing I could say could make her elaborate on that, but now I was definitely intrigued. Our Christmas ended with Mom and me lying on a thick quilt in front of the Christmas tree, naked as the day we were born, using each other to keep warm. There, illuminated by the blinking lights, I made love to my mother again. We were both weary and a little sore, but this was a sweet, slow expression of our incestuous love that seemed to carry us into a dream world where Christmas seemed to go on and on as we treasured and enjoyed the ultimate Christmas gift of each other's love. For what seemed a joyous eternity, I thrust my hard, aching cock into Mom's slick, burning pussy, my eyes focusing on Mom's face as I kept her on the edge of orgasm, her mouth open as she panted, her eyes reflecting her desire, love and pleasure, and then biting her lower lip as finally our passion crested and once more I gave Mom a thick load of my seed, triggering her own incestuous orgasm. That wonderful moment also seemed to be suspended in time and even now, twenty years later, I remember that moment, our sweaty bodies cemented together, Mom's bountiful tits bouncing and rolling as she shook with orgasmic delight, her low crying of my name, Mom's arms and legs locked around my body, demanding a tighter, even more intimate embrace as her womb massaged and milked my cock of my semen. We fell asleep there, under the Christmas tree, Mom curled up against me, holding on to me tightly as if I was a Christmas miracle that would fade away come morning. Come the morning, we were still there, still in a lover's embrace. Christmas Day was over, but the love that had found bloom on that holiest of days was not about to fade, but was destined to be eternal, growing not fading as time has passed. Mom and I are still lovers, husband and wife in all ways that matter. We knew the snows would melt or be cleared, that Christmas would soon be a memory, but we also knew that snows would come again, that Christmas would return as it always will. This was simply our beginning and there is so much more to tell...

A nice quiet day to dig out from our winter storm. Here's a look at some of the numbers.
{}D.C. area Snow Totals
We will add to it overnight tonight and Saturday morning as a clipper swings through our area.{} Best chance of accumulating snow will be west of D.C. where you could get a few inches of snow.{} I am estimating around an inch for D.C. ,but it could be a little more or a little less.
{}Predicted Snow Starts Overnight
Some mixing with rain is possible, especially south of the city.{} Snow should stop just after the noon hour on Saturday with a quiet rest of the weekend.{} With all of this snow, we{} need a slow melt, and with highs in the mid 30s this weekend, that bodes well for us.{} Temperatures look to warm much more significantly late next week.

Effects of Climate Change on residential indoor-outdoor Air Exchange
Ilacqua, V., J. Dawson, M. Breen, S. Singer, AND A. Berg. Effects of Climate Change on residential indoor-outdoor Air Exchange. Presented at Indoor Air 2014, Hong Kong, HONG KONG, July 07 - 12, 2014.
INTRODUCTION: Climate change is expected to increase the mean and peak ambient temperatures, and perhaps wind patterns and intensity, while indoor environments will remain within the range of human thermal comfort. As passive air exchange through infiltration is partly driven by indoor/outdoor temperature differences, even small changes in ambient temperature can theoretically modify such differences considerably and, as a result, alter patterns of exposures to both indoor and outdoor pollutants. METHODS: We calculated changes in air fluxes through infiltration for prototypical detached homes in 9 metropolitan areas in the US (Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Phoenix, Seattle) from the 1970-2000 reference period to the mid-century (2040-2070) period. The LBNL model of infiltration was used in combination with climate data from 8 regionally downscaled climate models. RESULTS: Averaged over all study locations, seasons, and climate models, air exchange through infiltration would decrease by approximately 5%, varying from -7% for Boston, to -2% for Phoenix. Mean between-model uncertainty was about 8%. The range of predicted changes for specific months and models is -14 to +25%. While infiltration is projected to decrease overall, increased infiltration is predicted, within the range of model uncertainty, during the summer months, up to 20-30% for Atlanta and Houston. Seasonal and daily variability in infiltration, as indicated by its standard deviation, is expected to increase, particularly during the summer months. As a result of generally lower infiltration rates, exposure to indoor sources may be expected to rise, especially for less reactive indoor species (such as Radon), for which exposure would increase by approximately the same relative amount as infiltration decreases. CONCLUSIONS: Diminished air exchange in future climate scenarios may be expected to increase exposure to indoor sources of air pollution, unless these ventilation reductions are otherwise compensated. Exposure to ambient air pollution, conversely, would generally diminish, partially countering the effect of the climate change penalty on ambient air pollution, although exposures increases during summer months should be considered.
The purpose of this analysis is to understand the impact of climate change on residential exposure to indoor and outdoor sources of air pollution. This information can be used to inform guidelines for climate change adaptation, and exposure and risk modeling for future scenarios.

You have to sell your soul to be a star: Akshay Kumar
In a recent interview to a leading website, Akshay Kumar said that in today's time, it's really important for a star and his movie to cross 100 crore mark otherwise he will not get new films. He also said that to be an actor, one needs to be passionate; and to earn money, one needs to be bankable. According to Akshay to be a star is the most difficult thing because a star sells his soul everyday and every minute to survive in the film industry.
However, Akshay says that he does not care much about the ratings. His ultimate aim is to make people laugh through his movies.

BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - The summer months are usually a slow time of the season for a college basketball coach. It's a time to reflect, recruit, and rest up in the ever ending preparation one goes through in the building of a successful program.
Union head men's basketball coach Sean Gillespie, however, didn't do any of that this past summer. In fact, he found himself away from campus, his team, and most importantly his family, in fighting for a bigger cause: his country.
Earlier this year, Gillespie, 42, enlisted in Army National Guard basic training, fulfilling a dream he envisioned for many years.
The Call to Serve
Gillespie always had an idea he would someday volunteer his services to protect our country. Members of Gillespie's family served in the military (service in three Wars), including his father who was enlisted for 22 years. Gillespie also described himself as an "Army Brat", but, chose a different career path after college in coaching.
However, it was one event that rocked the foundation of our country that pushed Gillespie into service.
"The point for me was 9/11," said Gillespie. "I was 32 at the time, and that point, I felt a little patriotic and wanted to serve. So, really from 9/11, until now, the last 10 years, I've been involved in it, while trying to climb the career ladder."
That career path took Gillespie from Turkey, to Sterling College in Kansas, to here at Union in 2009. When he arrived in southeastern Kentucky, he finally acted on a promise he made to himself back on that dark day in 2001 and enlisted in the National Guard.
He needed permission from one important person first though.
"Over these last 10 years, my wife and I have had some deep discussions about it," he said. "So, finally in last October, I was doing some research online, and I learned that 42 was the age cutoff. So, from that point on, I told myself if I want to do this.
"I wasn't going to look back when I'm 45, 50, 55, and have any regrets about not doing it. At that point, I decided that I needed to make this happen."
Gillespie goes to Camp
So, on Easter Sunday in April, Gillespie packed up shop and headed to basic training at Ft. Benning outside of Columbus, Ga. There, Gillespie went through a grueling daily routine, much different from his own as a civilian.
Gone was his usual attire of a polo shirt and pressed pants, and on came Army fatigues. His weapon of choice was not a dry erase board and maker, but an actual weapon - a rifle. Instead of coaching young men, he was being drilled to the ground by a sergeant younger than he was.
"It was a little different at first," said Gillespie. "I'm 42 years old, having lived a civilian life, meaning that I choose when I eat, or use a restroom. When I got there, I learned real quick that the drill sergeants choose those times for you."
Gillespie, regardless of the age difference, still took his orders from his drill sergant, and eventually completed the program, losing over 30 pounds in the process after going through a rigourous training program.
Camp Difficult on Everyone
One of the common questions asked of Gillespie before he went off to basic training was how he was going to try to run two things while being away from Barbourville for so long: his program at Union, and his family.
Thankfully, Gillespie had a tremendous support system both on campus, and in his household.
"We just worked ahead," he said. "First, we accelerated our recruiting process, I got guys committed, and tried to knock a lot of that out right away. Second, our assistant coaches here kept the ball rolling in terms of recruiting. Coach (Jerrod) Stamford, who's now at Fort Hayes State, did a great job of keeping things going while I was gone."
At home, the results were very similar.
"My wife did a great job," he said. "She became the mom and the dad of the house. It was a challenge at times, I know she said when I came back that it was nice to have two adults in the house now to help take care of the kids. Having 7- and 14-year old daughters, it was a challenge.
"But, they did well. The military does a good job of having a support system built in. My wife was connected online with a support group, so they do a great job in supporting the spouses left behind."
Being an Inspiration to Others, while Defending the Homeland
At the end of the day, Gillespie's ultimate goal in going to basic training at this stage in his life was to not only serve our country but to show others that it can be done despite "real world" problems.
"I want to utilize this as a platform," he said. "At first, I kind of shied away from it. When people first heard I was going to basic, they'd shake my hand and thank me for what I've done for my country. I really feel like I haven't done anything yet. I really haven't, I only went through basic training.
"Think of the guys who are on the front lines right now."
Lastly, Gillespie firmly believes his time in basic training will help him, both on the court when the Bulldogs open their 2011-12 campaign and off of it.
"It can be a great example for our young men and lead in our basketball program," he said. "It shows that a guy that's 42, has a family and is comfortable in his career, made some sacrifices to serve. Hopefully they see some differences in me as a person and a leader. There are some things I learned in basic training, and not just the physical part stuff.
"There are some things that I learned that hopefully will make me a better coach, and husband and father to my kids."
Union opens the 2011-12 season Nov. 1 at Lindsey Wilson (Ky.).

Then I was told that I would have a credit limit of $2500 and of it $1000 cash would be available immediately if I needed it. The only thing I had to do was call and request it.
I called to make that request and I was told I had to make 3 months payments before I could receive the money. I asked for an 800 number to call by the number being long distance and I was told that there wasn't one.
I stated that I wanted to close my account and I wanted my $200 back because I didn't agree to the terms. The lady played a recording back of the conversation.
Naturally, terms that I agreed to were not on the tape. Everything that I agreed to was said before the recording started. I did agree for the deduction, but I was told that I had to first return the form that was coming in the mail along with a voided check before anything would be done.
I did not return that form. I was told that I had to give them $35 in order to close out my account. I called back again and I was told by Ian that he would close my account.
Today, March 20, 2003 I call my bank and another $200 had been deducted from my account from these same people. I called and the man stated that his records indicated that my account was closed.
He then put me on hold and stated that he was sorry for any inconvenience and they would credit my account back for the $400 and it would take 10 days. Now I don't understand why it will take so long. As quick as they can go in and take the money out of your account, they should be able to put it back in just as quickly.
I will be taking further action to get my money back. Now my account is messed up because of these ripoffs. I don't have $400 for them just to take because they want to and I'm the one who has to suffer while I wait to get my money back.

ART VIEW; Clemente: Slouching Toward Anonymity
By Roberta Smith
Published: December 2, 1990
PHILADELPHIA— Of all the art stars to emerge in the early 1980's, Francesco Clemente may be the most genuinely starlike. His exotic handsomeness, his distinctive way of dressing and his quiet, self-contained manner added up to a charisma that seemed made to order for Neo-Expressionism and the unprecedented media attention it attracted.
More to the point, in the early 80's in particular, this Italian artist, who is now 38, was such a ubiquitous motif in his own art that when one met him in person, it was a little like running into a famous actor on the street. The paintings, drawings, frescoes and prints he produced in such great numbers exuded a dreamlike aura, featuring their maker in an encyclopedic range of private states and fantasies, and physical gestures and postures. It was not surprising that Clemente in the flesh could seem both incredibly familiar and oddly out of place.
Better to have him back on paper or canvas, contemplating his various orifices, or those of his partners -- most often his wife, Alba -- or simply looking out at the viewer with that distinctive face. Alternately seductive and porcine, this waiflike face came with high cheekbones, widely spaced eyes and flaring nostrils that operated on a scale between Greta Garbo and Peter Lorre.
In the works on view in "Francesco Clemente: Three Worlds," a retrospective of about 200 of his works on paper at the Philadelphia Musem of Art through Dec. 23, Clemente pokes a finger up his nose in a small pastel from 1979; in a charcoal drawing from 1980 he sucks his thumb. In the hallucinatory "Naso," one of his great pastels from 1983, he multiplies the openings of his nose until they resemble a flock of killer freckles spread out across his face. "Semen," one of his best and most widely reproduced images, shows the artist floating toward us, as if suspended in a post-coital reverie or, perhaps, in amniotic fluid. There seemed to be no secret or possible mutation that Clemente wouldn't share.
In a sense, he may have pulled off one of the most seamless fusions of art and life of the Neo-Expressionist 15 minutes, a time when many artists tried to surround their work with the stuff of myth, or at least the stuff of high life style, as numerous issues of HG, Vanity Fair and Vogue can attest. But (to choose two prime examples) while Schnabel's carryings-on in print and image and gallery catalogue were never up to the level of his best art and Salle's more suave manipulations of the media seemed merely contrived, Clemente seemed somehow untarnished by such activities.
In his own subtle way, Clemente may have actually been the most publicity-minded of the Neo-Expressionists. Not only did he model clothes for Comme des Garcons catalogues, for example, like several of his peers; he even modeled them on the runway during a fashion show in Paris.
Yet Clemente pursued all this extra-art activity with an innate grace that verged on shyness and that helped make photographs of him seem like a natural extension of his art. They often exude the same mix of openness and artificiality that we encounter in his paintings and drawings. In addition, he can be self-obsessed and self-effacing at the same time. This talent may stem in part from his extensive exposure to and affinity for the art and religion of India, a country he first visited in 1973. Since then he has divided his time between New York, Rome and Madras.
For reasons that lie at the heart of his strengths and weaknesses as an artist, Clemente's presence never weighs heavily on the viewer. His work, even when large in size, generally has a modest, intimate quality that runs counter to the ponderous large-scale statements of much Neo-Expressionism. There's an elusive, floating neutrality to the persona he puts forth, a duality that is at once Eastern and Western, male and female, child and adult. Not by chance was an early article on Clemente, written by the critic Edit de Ak, titled "A Chameleon in a State of Grace.
This fall there have been several opportunities to reconsider Clemente's self-as-art. On the microcosmic level there was the unusual photograph of the artist, taken by a photographer named Paul Blanca in 1987, that announced his October exhibition at Sperone Westwater, a gallery in the SoHo district of Manhattan. In most of the paintings and watercolors in that show, Clemente struggled, with little success, to find alternatives to his own image, concentrating on stylized, often erotic, images of anonymous nudes and couples inspired by Indian sculpture.
To this eye, the announcement photograph upstaged the actual exhibition. It showed the artist clasping his cheeks in an expression of mock woe, but with the hands of a small child. The image conveyed the essence of Clemente's artistic temperament -- his man-child, man-woman duality, his concern with physical and emotional metamorphosis and the pensive, helpless passivity that underlies his art. The photograph elicited a slow double-take that echoed the gentle shocks of his work from the early 80's. It also reminded one that such shocks have been few in Clemente's recent art.

By Ms Jenn Domashevich (USACE)August 15, 2011
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- From cost-savings to community partnership, the multi-district U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) remediation project at Plum Brook Ordnance Works (PBOW) in Sandusky, Ohio, demonstrates what teamwork is all about.
The formerly used defense site (FUDS) manufactured explosives in support of the war effort during World War II. TNT Area C was one of three TNT manufacturing areas at PBOW and is currently undergoing soil remediation by the USACE Huntington District using alkaline hydrolysis.
"The work being executed at Plum Brook Ordnance Works is a great example of how our districts work together to complete FUDS projects," said David Dierken, Louisville District FUDS program manager. "Even though Huntington, Nashville and Louisville districts each play a different role in this project, our collaborative effort has allowed remediation work at Plum Brook to move forward with great results."
The alkaline hydrolysis process uses a caustic material and an iron catalyst. At PBOW, the Huntington District used liquid ferric sulfate and sodium hydroxide pellets to remove the contaminants of concern in 3,000 tons of excavated soil. Using a windrow turner, the treatment chemicals and the contaminated soil were mixed together. This is a variation on a common practice for soil remediation (known as composting) where chicken manure and other natural products are mixed into contaminated soil using a windrow turner.
"Once the chemicals are mixed into the soil, they start breaking down the nitroaromatics [industrial chemicals such as explosives]," said Lisa Humphreys, USACE Huntington District project technical coordinator. "It even goes so far as to break down the amino levels, which are at the bottom of the nitrochain. That's one thing that the alkaline hydrolysis process does that the composting doesn't do " break down the aminos as quickly."
At different sites in the past, an excavator bucket was used to mix the chemicals into the soil.
"We felt that by using the windrow turner, we'd get a much better mix of the chemicals in the soil," said Humphreys. "And if the process didn't work, we were already set up to do the composting, so we wouldn't have to double-handle material. So far, it's working out great."
By not using the chicken manure for the windrow composting, the soil does not have straw and other materials blended into it, creating more stable soil that could actually be used for structural backfill. Because of this, once remediated, the soil will be placed back in the trenches they were dug out of, instead of having to buy clean fill to replace it.
Only the hazardous soil is being remediated. The additional soil that was determined to be non-hazardous is being used by the local landfill as daily cover. This allows the Corps to dispose of the non-hazardous soil at a reduced rate and helps the landfill.
The alkaline hydrolysis process is fairly simple. The hardest part is actually putting the caustic chemicals on the windrows. Workers have to wear chemical-resistant suits, goggles, respirators, hard hats with face shields, and layers of gloves.
"This is the first time we've done the alkaline hydrolysis," said Humphreys. "The field guys have it down to a science. We haven't had any wind concerns because we're using pellets for the sodium hydroxide and by being so close to Sandusky Bay of Lake Erie, we do get some significant wind at the site. It's been good."
The USACE Nashville District serves as the project design team and developed the remediation alternatives for TNT Area C, one of which was alkaline hydrolysis. The Huntington District performs the actual remediation work, but they also worked with the Nashville District throughout the design process.
"This relationship has been in place since the early 1990s, and the team works very well together," said Huntington District project manager Rick Meadows.
The selected remedy provided the option to use alkaline hydrolysis and/or windrow composting. This remedy was written into the final plan of action, known as the Decision Document.
"We know that windrow composting works well, and we wanted to leave that flexibility in the Decision Document," said Meadows. "In case dealing with the caustic sodium hydroxide came to be too big of a safety concern or problem, we had another option already built in that gave the contractor some flexibility on how he was going to do the remedial work."
An added advantage to using the windrows for the alkaline hydrolysis process was that they could reuse a previous remediation area.
"We already had this remediation area developed and laid out to do the windrows on, so it was the perfect fit," said Meadows. "Being able to use the remediation area gave us a cost-savings from not having to develop new remediation areas each time. That's a big part of the cost."
In addition to reducing remediation costs, Huntington District has also provided work for local businesses.
"For the actual labor and equipment, everything is purchased or rented up in the Sandusky, Cleveland area," said Humphreys. "We're trying to keep it local and keep the money in the economy."
The FUDS program for the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division is managed by the USACE Louisville District, which is responsible for all projects within Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, West Virginia and Michigan. Because of the Huntington District's existing involvement with PBOW, they continue to manage this project and use Nashville as their design district.
"Even though the Louisville District is the program manager, you're getting the project technical management services from Huntington District and the design services from Nashville District," said Meadows. "So, we're all working together as one team to achieve the FUDS mission."

Shapewear also come in different control levels, from light to extra firm control. Body - Offers full coverage of the body and may include a built in underwire bra or soft cup. Most body shapers are bra sized. If you wear a 36C bra, you would buy a 36C body shapewear. Bust Style - Offers shaping that enhances the bust. This style is bra sized. Hips - Offers support of the hips and tummy. Your size is based on the same size as your panty. Thigh - Offers thigh shaping and tummy control. Usually is a long leg design with a special band to grip the leg and prevent it from rolling up. Size is determined by panty measurements. Tummy - Offers tummy control with extra panel in the front that smoothes the tummy areas. Waist - Offers shaping to create a smooth contour of the waist. Usually comes up to the bottom of your bra. Choosing Your Shapewear Support LevelLight Control - Lightly smoothes and shapes without binding. Moderate Control - Moderate control and can be worn comfortably for long periods of time. Firm Control - Offers firm control. Helps minimize problem areas. It can be comfortable but not ideal for all day wear. Extra Firm Control - Highest level of support. Offers reinforced panels and sometimes boning. Not ideal for all day wear. This is the highest level of support available in shapewear. Fitting Your ShapewearGrab a tape measure. Shapewear comes in many different styles. They allow you the option of choosing where you want that extra support. They also come in different control levels. They go from light to extra firm control. Measure your waist - Use a measuring tape. Wrap the measuring tape snuggly around the natural break in your waist without cinching. This is your waist measurement. Write the number down. Measure your hips - Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your hips. You can use a mirror to make sure that the tape is all the way around the hips. Make sure it's snug and parallel to the floor. Write down the number. The charts below can help you determine your correct size. Perfect Fit Panties, Girdles and ShapersHow to fit panties, girdles and shapers is typically the work of a few minutes. In most cases, all you need to do is measure the hips with a tape measure around the fullest part of your hips, and then measure the waist. Hip size is the leading factor in selecting the right size of panties, girdles and shapers, but the waist measurement does play a role and may require you to go up or down a size for comfort. Size May Vary While these charts (see below) can provide you with a general guideline for how to fit panties, girdles and shapers, keep in mind that size may vary by manufacturer. Some manufacturers may run larger than these charts, while others may be smaller. You may need to try a specific manufacturer to determine fit relative to your body size and shape. Shapewear Size Shapewear is typically measured on a Small-Medium-Large scale. The chart shows the average sizing for shapewear manufacturers based on hip and waist measurements. Daywear Size Daywear sizing is an arbitrary numerical sizing based on your hip measurement. The Bottom Line Panties, girdles and shapers tend to follow a few basic rules for fit, but finding the perfect fit for you may vary just as your body varies from other women. Waist, hip and stride proportions play a role in sizing. In many cases, following your slack or pant size is the best way to find the right fit for panties, girdles and shapers. This chart can serve as a rough guideline, but sizes do vary by manufacturer. Stride in Shapewear Sizing Shapewear stretches. If you have trouble with pants being too long or too short in the waist, go up a shapewear size if your pants are too short, and go down a size if your pants are too long. Because shapewear stretches, it can accommodate one size difference and the alternate sizing can help with length-related issues. Fitting a Body Briefer A body briefer provides you with a great look under your clothes, with a flattering shape and smooth lines. To find the right fit in a one-piece body briefer, consider your bra size, bottom size and torso length. To measure your torso, start from the high point of the shoulder, go over the bust and measure vertically to the end of your torso. This torso length chart can help you determine what size you need in one-piece briefers and other shapewear.

COLORADO SPRINGS - Was it love at first lift? Gold in Beijing may not be the only gold waiting for two unique Olympians who live in Colorado Springs.
63kg Natalie Woolfolk and Super-heavyweight Casey Burgener are weightlifters who love their sport. They also happen to love each other and are the only engaged couple on the USA Weightlifting team going to the 2008 Summer Games.
Casey's dad was Natalie's coach. He told her she was the girl that would marry his son. She didn't believe it.
"And then I met him and he's pretty cute," said Natalie.
"As for engaged couples representing the U.S., for the Olympics, we're the only ones," said Burgener.
You can usually find the two working out in the weightlifting room in Colorado Springs, where they are both resident athletes.
At first, they weren't sure if they would both make it to Beijing. Natalie won her spot on the team at the trials in Atlanta. Casey, however, was struggling.
"I was psychotic watching him," Natalie said. "He knew what he had to do, and he was the last lifter, so he put it on the bar and he had to scare us all, he missed it the first time and made everybody kind of freak out."
The pressure was mounting for Casey to make the team.
"The timing was all off. I'd been waiting I think close to 10 minutes and it was a big jump for me, so when I missed it, it was just some minor things," he said. "But once I felt the weight I knew I was going to get it."
"He did it and I freaked out," Natalie said. "It was awesome. It was beyond cool. I was extremely excited because I was going and he was going."
They've traveled together before.
After the 2007 World Championships in Thailand about 10 months ago, Casey talked Natalie into taking an even longer journey.
"We're going through the jungle," Natalie recalled. "And the guy that was driving, I guess, the elephant (we were on), he hops off. I was like freaking out, I didn't know what was going on because he was off the elephant and Casey starts saying how much he loves me. And I'm like I don't know what you're talking about right now because I was completely distracted. Anyways, and then he proposed to me and I got it."
The couple is planning a November wedding at Casey's home in California.

Nutrition is not for profit: Second International Conference on Nutrition
- Details
- Published on Friday, 21 November 2014 04:28
(Rome November 20th, 2014)
La Via Campesina and URGENCI, jointly with other Social movements, gathered in Rome for the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2), where Member States of FAO and WHO are discussing and adopting a framework for action on nutrition. This event, organised jointly by FAO and WHO, is happening 22 years after the first ICN, 22 years in which no improvements have been made by the international community; 22 years in which the private sector has captured nutrition as a business opportunity to provide a never-ending list of "nutrient-enriched" and GMO pseudo-solutions to consumers. Transnational corporations have no place in trade agreements or our food systems!
Shashe Smallholder Farmer Organisation (SFO): a true centre of agro-ecology

(Zimbabwe, Masvingo, October 20, 2014) Zimbabwe Small Organic Farmers Forum (ZIMSOFF) represents smallholder farmers practicing organic agriculture in Zimbabwe, a practice promoted through participatory ecological land use planning and management, and encourages value addition to uplift the welfare of members. The organization has about 19,000 smallholder farmers organized in four clusters, namely the western, eastern, northern and central. These clusters are made up of 64 Smallholder Farmer Organizations (SFOs) which nurture dynamic alliances. Shashe SFO, where the Agroecology School is located, is under the central cluster. Shashe farmers are beneficiaries of the Fast Track Land Reform Programme implemented by the Government of Zimbabwe in 2000. They are part of the 380 official land beneficiaries resettled in 2000 at the Shashe block of farms, which covers about 15,020 hectares. Of this area, about 23% was allocated for residential and arable purposes, the rest is grazing. The area is generally dry, receiving about 400mm of annual rainfall, and has deep soils (sandy loams, red clays and a mixture of the two). It was mainly used for ranching by the former white farmers. The new farmers have broadened the land use as they are now producing both crops and livestock
At Shashe farmers employ various agroecological practices to ensure food sovereignty, mitigate climate change effects and reduce dependence on bought-in agro-inputs thus retaining farm income within the family's purse. These practices include the use of organic manure, mulching, minimum tillage, multiple cropping, exchange and use of traditional seeds and open pollinated varieties, among others.

Family farming is a hot topic this year. The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations has declared 2014 the International Year of Family Farming. And last week, family farming was the focus of World Food Day 2014.
Of course there's is no guarantee that a family farm is well-run or sustainable. But the best farms - those that best preserve traditional food and culture, contribute to balanced and culturally appropriate diets, maintain agricultural biodiversity and use natural resources sustainably - tend to be family farms.
Mozambique: "Agroecological farming came to stay in Marracuene" — say the farmers

(Mozambique, Maputo, July 11, 2014) – the adopted agroecological farming methods are there to stay among the farmers in Marracuene, south Mozambique, says the farmers from Alfredo Nhamitete's farming Association, which is part of the National Farmers Union (União Nacional de Camponeses — UNAC). This resolve resulted from a knowledge exchange visit between the local farmers and the visiting members of Zimbabwe's Smallholder Organic Farmers Forum (ZIMSOFF) and La Via Campesina, on July 9.
The 280 association members produce different food crops such as yam, carrot, cabbage, onion, kale, beans, lettuce, eggplant, among others. Part of the produce is sold at the local market, and the earnings are equally shared among the members. "With that money I can send my children to school, and buy them school supplies", said a woman farmer, and member of the association.
