MARTINSBURG - Blue and pink enveloped the conference room of the Holiday Inn in Martinsburg Friday, the universal colors to welcome newborns and expecting mothers setting the theme for UniCare's third annual community baby shower.
UniCare Health Plan of West Virginia Inc. hosted its annual baby shower for local moms and moms-to-be as an opportunity to celebrate young life and educate moms on best baby practices.
"It's a statewide initiative to educate new moms. We find that a lot of new moms and expecting moms have a lot of questions, which is normal. We're trying to help them with those questions and offer resources to try and connect them to, so after the shower, they can contact with any further questions," said Billie Moore, senior health promotion consultant for UniCare.

Moms and moms-to-be line up to visit the vendors at UniCare Health Plan of West Virginia Inc.'s third annual community baby shower to learn about different aspects of how to care for their baby.
Teresa Cavagnaro holds her eight-month-old son Carson while being treated to lunch at the third annual community baby shower.
Approximately 10 vendors were at the baby shower, offering the moms informational pamphlets, answering questions and distributing goodie bags. Vendors included Shanandoah Community Health, Women, Infants and Children, Building Our Lives Drug Free Initiative, Right From the Start and others.
To celebrate the new moms and children, each vendor provided an item to be raffled off, including car seats, diaper packages, play sets and more. Moms were also given baby blankets courtesy of Project Linus.
While celebrating the mothers with gifts and lunch, the event also featured guest speakers who provided information on both prenatal and postnatal care. Topics included immunizations, safe sleep positions for newborns and breastfeeding.
"We find that a lot of moms don't go back for that postpartum visit, especially in West Virginia. So we're really trying to make sure they know how important that is to take care of themselves so they can take care of that baby," Moore said.
New moms Brooke Greenfield, with her son Robert Miller, and Natasha Lashbaugh, with her son Landyn Shepherd, attended the event to spend time together and to meet other moms. Greenfield and Lashbaugh met while pregnant at the same time and had their babies within a month of each other.
"I don't have many friends who are pregnant or have had babies, so they don't understand," Greenfield said.
As a new mother, Greenfield said her favorite part of being a mom is spending time with Robert, seeing his smile and watching him crawl.
"He just learned 'I love you.' It makes it worth it, the up-all-night and long days and first thing in the morning. It's just worth it. I love waking up to him and seeing that smile," Greenfield said.

Twenty of the world's top adventurers share the dazzling new frontiers they've discovered, as well as their all-time classic trips to add to your list. Plus: Don't miss the must-have gear they take on every trip. —Kate Siber

Europe may be steeped in over a century of ski culture, but for wilderness and solitude, few countries beat Canada. Find the mother lode in British Columbia's interior, which sees some 50 feet of annual snowfall, mountains that few people have ever skied—let alone laid eyes upon—and an astonishing dearth of crowds.
"Golden, Revelstoke, Fernie, Kimberly—this whole zone in interior B.C. is chock full of great ski resorts," says Dueck. Take Revelstoke, for example: It has more than 3,000 acres and a thigh-burning 5,620 vertical-foot drop from summit to base, the biggest in North America.
Of course, that's only one resort. Interior British Columbia is also full of cat-skiing operations, heli-ski operations, backcountry huts, and road-accessed backcountry ski guides for any persuasion of skier or snowboarder. Dueck's favorite? Chatter Creek, a cat- and heli-skiing company based out of Golden.
"In my experience, Chatter Creek has everything you could want," says Dueck. "It's got big mountain lines, it's got chutes, it's got cliffs, it's got lots and lots of pillows, and they get an abundant amount of snow. I've been there three times now, but I've only begun to scratch the surface of what their tenure has to offer."
Chatter Creek offers cat-skiing and heli-skiing vacations. Resorts in interior British Columbia include Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, Fernie Alpine Resort, and Revelstoke Mountain Resort.
Athlete Bio
In 2012, at Powder Mountain Catskiing near Whistler, British Columbia, Josh Dueck became the first paraplegic skier ever to land a backflip. Though his main love is pushing the boundaries of big-mountain skiing as an adaptive athlete, Dueck also holds his own on a race course. In 2010, he won a silver medal for Canada at the Paralympics, and in 2011, he won gold in the mono ski cross at the X Games.

"I'm super fortunate to get to go on a lot of adventures," says Dueck. "For me, to be able to take some photos and look back on them is super cool—and also to be able to share. I love putting together little slide shows, and most recently with the technology of Instagram, I love tracking my story. The power of photos goes a long way."

Being that March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness month, I am going to go a little more clinical today. Part of staying fit is taking care of yourself. For example, eating non-processed foods, curbing heavy alcohol intake, staying active, annual physicals, a visit to the dentist and booking a simple cancer screening (that can save your life) are a few ways you have control over your health. I am not going to go Katie Couric on you and film my own colonoscopy; however, I am happy to promote the procedure. Unfortunately Couric's husband, as a result of colon cancer, suffered an untimely death. This is why Katie Couric's mission is to promote the benefits of a colonoscopy.
The truth of the matter is that you or someone you love can have colon cancer and not even know it. This asymptomatic disease is a silent killer that sneaks up on you in its later stages. Colorectal cancer is one of the few cancers that, thanks to the benefits of technology, can be indicated early-on. The benefits of the colonoscopy is that you can completely eliminate the needless suffering of individuals who have waited too long to discover that they have this disease. If the disease is caught early, it is estimated the medical community can save 40,000 lives through screening and early treatment.
Here are 6 Steps to lowering your risk of colorectal cancer:
1. Get regular colorectal cancer screenings beginning at age 50. If you have a personal or family history of colorectal cancer or colorectal polyps, or a personal history of another cancer or inflammatory bowel disease, talk to your doctor about earlier screening.
2. Eat between 25 to 30 grams of fiber each day from fruits, vegetables, whole grain bread and cereals, nuts and beans.
3. Eat a low-fat diet.
4. Eat foods with folate such as leafy green vegetables.
5. If you consume alcohol, drink only in moderation. Alcohol and tobacco in combination are linked to colorectal cancer and other gastrointestinal cancers. If you use tobacco, quit. If you don't use tobacco, don't start.
6. Exercise for at least 20 minutes three to four days each week. Moderate exercise such as walking, gardening or climbing steps may help reduce your risk.
Thank you to Dr. Gary Siemons of the Colon & Rectal Surgical Associates of South Jersey for bringing to my attention that March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month! If you are 50 years old of age or older and have not received a colonoscopy, please get screened as soon as possible. As you can see from the video above, the procedure is comfortable and, more importantly, can save your life.

Mountain Day 2 Calls for Strengthening Global Mountain Agenda in Multilateral Negotiations
3 December 2012: Mountain Day 2, which focused on the topic "Mainstreaming Rio+20 outcomes in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) processes for prosperous, resilient, and sustainable mountain ecosystems and communities," took place in Doha, Qatar, on 3 December 2012, on the sidelines of the 18th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 18) to the UNFCCC.
It was organized by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) and the Mountain Partnership Secretariat (MPS)/Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO), in the context of the Strategic Initiative for Mountains and Climate Change funded by the Development Grant Facility of the World Bank. Other sponsors and partners included the Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), Water and Climate Coalition (WCC), the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the ICIMOD-based Himalayan Climate Change Adaptation Programme (HICAP) and the Government of Nepal.
The Day started with a keynote speech by Gyan Chandra Acharya, UN Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States, who emphasized the need for coordinated work between the Rio Conventions. Acharya noted the need to include mountains in the Conventions' action plans. Keshab Man Shakya, Co-Chair of the Day and Minister of Environment, Science and Technology, Nepal, highlighted the challenges of addressing sustainability in a rapidly changing climate, emphasizing that such challenges call for partnerships and increased funding for financing climate adaptation in mountain environments. Marco Onida, Secretary General of the Permanent Secretariat of the Alpine Convention and the other Co-Chair of the Day, stressed the importance of coming together to push the mountain agenda, as mountains may not always be a political priority for many countries.
The main output of the session was a series of Key Messages to negotiators at COP 18. Thomas Hofer, MPS/FAO, noted that: mountains' role as the "water towers of the world" is threatened by the melting of glaciers; mountain communities are used to coping with climate variability but the effects of climate change are very strong, and thus they need support for implementing adaptation strategies and for capacity development; and there is a need for partnerships and strong and rigorous science to understand and address climate change in mountain ecosystems, which are extremely complex.

|The Dunderberg or "Thunder Mountain" on the left is said to be the home of the "Heer of Dunderberg", the Storm King of the Hudson Highlands who wreaks havoc on sailors that travel these waters.
The most dangerous part of the voyage, the Dutch sailors believed, was from the southern gateway of the Hudson Highlands known as Dunderberg, to Pollepel Island. It is easy to see why the sailors of old were intimidated by these mountains looming towards them. The river narrows at this point as it passes through the Appalachian Mountain range. The Dunderberg as it was named, "Dunder" meaning thunder and "berg" for mountain, or loosely translated as "Thunder Mountain" was believed to be the home of a Heer or King. So the rough translation of Heer of Dunderberg is the King of Thunder Mountain. Over the years, some simply referred to him as the "Storm King". This distinction was given because of the horrific weather the sailors would experience once they rounded the Dunderberg. It was bad from the entrance at the sea, but the Hudson Highlands were so bad, that many ships and seamen were lost due to the storms; they refused to navigate those waters for some time. Only the bravest would do so and when they did, they would lower their top sails in reverence to the Heer of Dundenberg, hoping that their ships and crew would be spared.
The Dutch sailors described the Goblin King as a small round imp like creature wearing a light colored sugar-loaf hat. It is rumored that he would leave this mast on some of the ships that were under his attack. And when the ship would be in the clear, the hat would blow away. He is also referred to as the Imp of Donderberg.
Sailors would tack horseshoes to the masts of their ship for good luck while sailing the Heer of Dunderberg's domain. They were truly afraid of these waters. They also had fear of seeing the ghostly "Storm Ship" said to be manned by the Heer's goblin army. This would be a sign that a ship was in danger. Once it approached, the horrific winds, thunder, lightening and rain would bear down on a ship until it was sunk. The Dutch thought that this ship came from the land of their ancestors over in Europe where the haunting of witches and goblins were common, and that the Heer of Dunderberg summoned the ship to the Hudson Valley to cast it's evil upon the sailors.
Once the sailors made it past Pollepel Island, they felt that they were safe from the wrath of the Heer of Dunderberg. This island was thought to be the northern most outpost of the Goblin King and his army. Even the early Native Americans were deathly afraid of this island for some reason. They refused to go there at night, terrified of the sprits that dwelled there. Over the years, soldiers who fought the Natives, knew this and would hide there at night for protection. At one point, the Dutch believed that a sailor's right of passage for the first time through the Heer of Dunderberg's domain, was to be dropped off on the island on the northbound voyage and then be picked up on the return trip. If they survived, then they would be given leniency by the Storm King. The island itself however, has had a history of evil and destruction in it's more recent years. Bannerman Castle is living proof that the island need be left to the Heer and his Goblins.
|Pollepel Island, according to Dutch sailors of old, is the northern most boundary of the domain of the Heer of Dunderberg, Storm King of the Hudson Highlands There can be found the remains of Bannerman Castle.
If you drive up the Hudson Valley today or take the train northward along the river, you can see the Dunderberg still marking the gateway to the highlands as well as Pollepel Island with the ruins of a castle as a reminder that some evil exists here. Or, you can take a boat if you dare to meet the Heer of Dunderberg.

In contrast to analytic tool paths, three-axis-style, single-point-of-contact cuts rely on multiple, successive passes and often require secondary finishing operations to bring the feature to spec.
Construction of a ruled surface can begin by arranging two shapes, such as this square and circle, in parallel planes, as shown here. To create the surface, the vertical line sweeps around the perimeter of each shape.
The vertical lines visible on this ruled surface are perfectly straight. This might lead some to believe that the shape could be cut analytically using the side of the tool.
However, the normal vectors—depicted here as lines protruding away from the surface—point in different directions. Any tool used to cut this shape would have to be offset according to these vectors. Thus, analytic cutting with the side of the tool is impossible.

Jenn, our cover girl!
Jenn, our cover girl!
5'2", 55 years, Primal since April. Pre-Primal weight loss, from 216.6 to 157.8
Primal low: 140.2 (Dec. 3) Goal weight: 135?
Main Primal goal: beating back my CFS enough to function more normally and start writing again
More and more, our life has been governed by specialists, who know too little of what lies outside their province to be able to know enough about what takes place within it.
- Lewis Mumford
Thanks Ladies. Geo, I'm not at my goal either, but Joe wanted people at all stages of their Paleo journeys. He kept trying to reassure me to keep the bikini pics, but I'm glad I changed to the one that's in the book. I think you can see a significant difference (in the profile shot, anyway). Someday, I'll take goal shots.
Paula, I hadn't thought about that, but you're right.
I think I've decided to stop fighting the crazy cravings like I was and to just ride it out til January. It seems the harder I fight them right now, the more likely I am to give in to them. I'll just do my best to keep things primal and once January rolls around, I'll do a Whole30 to get back on track to losing the weight. For the time being, I'll stick with 80/20. Recently, my 20 has been those stupid Betty Crocker gluten free treats. I made 3 pans (8x8) of brownies this weekend. Brad and I ate our way through one pan on Saturday. I made a pan last night for Brady to take to school for his snacks this week. I made a separate pan for our household after that. I had two last night. But I think I'll be scaling back on those without much trouble b/c they made my stomach upset last night. Too much sugar, I suspect.
Next week, Brady will be taking apples to school I think. Anyone know what kind of potion to use on them to keep them from turning brown? Last night he ate an entire apple. I had to peel it, but he ate it all. I was quite surprised. I think I can send him with a baggie of apples one day, a baggie of orange slices the next, and alternate for the week. And maybe some nuts for a protein punch.
Potty training didn't go as well as I had hoped this weekend. I finally gave up mid-day yesterday. We'd had too many accidents for me to feel confident enough to send her to school in undies today, so we're back to pull-ups. Might try again with the undies next weekend. Or maybe we'll wait until after the holidays are over so we don't have to keep pottying on our brain while we're trying to relax and socialize with family.
*sigh* I'm so unsettled about my weight. I want to do a whole30 b/c I know it'll help shed some of this weight I've packed on again (up to 189 this morning) but at the same time, I don't want to go through the sugar fight... I'm very unhappy that I'm back up to 189... Of course, I shouldn't be that upset b/c it's only a 5 lb gain, and surely 90% of it is water weight and can be shed in a week - which is what pushes me to want to buckle down to 100% paleo for the next two weeks. I could start right now... only problem is that I had white potatoes for breakfast and every subsequent breakfast this week also contains white potatoes, as does my lunch. I can't bring myself to waste 4 breakfasts and Brad won't eat them b/c 1. he has his own breakfasts, and 2. I put green peppers and onions in mine.
I'll stick to primal I guess. Strict primal. No 20%... 100% Primal. This week and next. Shed this water, hopefully drop a couple more lbs maybe to hit the pre-baby weight, maybe 3 to hit the 40 lbs mark (THAT would be cool). Keep in touch with me, gals, b/c the sugar thing is really kicking my ass.
I'll either run or walk over lunch every day this week. Ramping up to 20 minute runs this week. I'll run today (20 minutes), walk tomorrow for 45 minutes, and alternate for the rest of the week.
My clothes still fit, but I don't feel as good. Yesterday I had my first "OMG I MUST EAT SOMETHING RIGHT NOW I DON'T CARE WHAT IT IS" moment in a LOOOONG time. What did I eat??? 3 Almond Joys and half a bag of salted almonds. I was grocery shopping and was completely fine the whole time despite not having lunch. Then I sampled the "fancy" cheese the gal had at the store. I had 3 little pieces of this expensive habanero cheese. OMG delish! (Didn't have the money in the budget to buy some - it was $5.99 for a small block) That started the ravenous hunger. I was hunting (hahaha, literally) for something I could eat easily and cheaply. I sought out a Dove Dark Chocolate bar, but found none. Ended up grabbing 3 Almond Joys and eating the crap out of them. I started out with good intentions. Bought a cabbage and some shredded broccoli to make fish when I got home, but I couldn't wait. THAT tells me just how out of control things have gotten. I'm back to ravenous, blood sugar crashing, hunger. Must clean it up. MUST.
Ok, I think I've rambled long enough. Need to go catch up on some journals. Have a good day, everyone.
Quick question about supplements:
Is there an ideal time to take them? Currently, I take them with breakfast, but I wonder if they don't get fully absorbed b/c of all the other goodies for my body to pick through. Wondering if it would be beneficial to take my probiotic, cod livers, vitamin C, selenium and vitamin D at night with my magnesium and only take the mass quantity of b's with food (they make me sick if I don't take them with food). The fishy burps won't be bothersome b/c I'll be sleeping...
Just curious if it matters or not.
Depends on the supplement and depends on the person. Amino acids should be taken solo (before food, at least 30 minutes is the usual rule), except for 5-HTP, which is better absorbed when taken with food. B vitamins and Iron need food or they can make you feel sick. Some people find fish oil gives them burps if they take it at a different time (before, during, or after food, I never figured it out for myself), you just have to experiment. My doctor told me to take probiotics with food, but I read in other places to take it 30 minutes before so it has a better chance of getting to the intestines. I take Vitamin D with breakfast to make sure it has the best chance to get absorbed, since it's fat soluble. Vitamin C is water soluble, so you could take it solo (since I'm using mine to aid digestion, I take it separate from meals). Overall, I try not to drink with meals except to get things down, if needed, because I don't want to dilute my stomach acid.
Depression Lies
Apples: squirt citrus juice on them, if he'll take it that way.
I hear ya. My No- Vember quickly degenerated into Fuckitvember. I still think that if I get back on a schedule, my eating will fix itself. Geek seems to agree, and wants to tighten up his eating too. We're gonna try getting up earlier by alarm and seeing if that fixes any of it.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"
My Latest Journal
So I turned in an overtime request for 1 hour and 15 minutes. My boss told me that if I'm going to start turning in overtime, I need to ensure I'm to work on time... wth? I will admit that it's nothing unusual for me to be 5 or 10 minutes late most days each week b/c of one thing or another, but all last week and the week before (hell, probably the whole month before), I've been skipping my lunch because I haven't been going to the gym. I've always used my lunch for gym time and have eated at my desk when I have returned to work... I guess she's not noticed this. I didn't say anything b/c I'm too non-confrontational. It's only the second time I have ever turned in an OT request, and I actually cheated myself out of 30 minutes of overtime b/c I turned in the wrong form... It just bothers me that she'd think I was cheating the system or whatever. I rarely EVER turn in an OT request simply b/c you have to have a minimum of 15 minutes a day to report before you can report it and on very rare occasion do I have more than 5 or 10 minutes a day. I also was under the impression that b/c of budget cuts and what-not, we weren't allowed to take OT, so I hadn't ever turned it in before and just shrugged my shoulders and washed it away...
I was late by a half hour one day not last week, but the week prior when my dogs decided to galavant around town instead of coming back after doing their outside business, but I was also here for a half hour past my end time b/c we were still going over calendars for the week. I specifically asked her if it would be ok to use that half hour to make up for the half hour that morning and she said yes.
In addition, if I've noticed I'm a few minutes late, I always try to stay a few minutes late to make up for it... like this morning, I was getting out of my car at 8:00 on the dot, so I figure I was probably 5 minutes late by the time I walked up to the office. For that, I will stay 5 minutes late tonight... Besides, I NEVER get out of here at exactly 4:30 every day. Most days I get in my car and notice it's already a quarter to 5 before I am driving off (I don't park that far from the building that it would take 15 minutes to walk to my car - it's at most 100 yards)
I guess I better be a bit more diligent about getting to work on time and not skipping lunch since it's apparently not covering the few minutes late I have been. Trust me... I don't want to get fired, so I do what needs to be done to make up the time if I'm late... apparently there's not much of an honor system so I'll need to communicate that I'm staying 5 minutes late to make up for the 5 minutes this morning. *smh*
There are only 4 of us in this office... you'd think it wouldn't be that hard to notice if someone had skipped their lunch. *I* notice when people don't take lunch... But I also figure everyone is an adult here and for the safety of their jobs, they'll make up any missing time, whether it be 3 or 10 or 30 or 60 minutes...
Pineapple juice will keep apples from turning brown. and adds a nice kick to the flavor!
You can do the 100% -- easy peasy!
I take all my supplements in the morning or as soon as I eat something since I take some mega B's - I don't think it matters a whole bunch though.
1. Love ME no matter what noises are screaming at me, or who is trying to tear me down.
2. Eat to heal
3. Move to live
4. Embrace today
5. Live with intention
6. Respect my body
7. Cultivate joy
8. Find my passion
9. Meditate on peace in my soul
I'll keep doing it the way I am then. As it is now, I take my D's with Cod Livers, so lots of fat for them to bind to.
I was feeling especially anxious after catching up on Sabine's journal. I hate to see my friends (even if they're just internet friends) suffer through so much. I felt so helpless because there's nothing I can do to help ease her worries. So, I decided to take a break and go for a run...
Ran 20 min. Covered 1.81 miles. Wish I'd covered more ground and disappointed with an 11mm (min/mile) pace. It felt like I'd gone further than that. I was really hoping to be closer to 2 miles. Most everything felt good. I had a single twinge in my left hamstring. Going to email Dr. Lake to see what she thinks that's all about. I feel this same twinge every time I run. Legs felt heavy at about the 15 minute mark, but pushed through and finished strong. Here's a link you can use to see my map and elevation change: Jenn Tyler's Private Profile
Not hungry for lunch yet. It's 1:45 and I'm not hungry... wonder if I'll get hungry before it no longer makes sense to eat a whole meal. Dinner tonight is tacos! So excited for tacos!! I made my own taco seasoning yesterday! I hope it's good.

Didn't use anything but our memory for this list while looking at Dallas' all-time roster. We just became Pens fans last week. Hopefully didn't miss any. First up: STU BARNES STTTTTUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. Even though he did a bunch for the Pens (had 17G-30G-20G) during his three-year stay in the late '90s, first thing when we think of him is this goal in Game 5 of the Pens 2001 series against the Sabres. What a devastating moment this was at the time. Still get that sinking feeling watching it. Gary Thorne = chills. MATTHEW BARNABY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Read more… JOHAN HEDBERG WTF What a rush it was during that 2001 playoff run. Probably played the best net of his career in Games 6 and 7 of this series. http://youtube.com/watch?v=_UyHmV0t7Xk KEVIN HATCHER We remember being pissed at Kevin Hatcher for some reason. ALEX GOLIGOSKI We've already had visions of a Dallas-Pens Cup Final. Alex Goligoski will score some huge goal. CHRIS CONNER #NeverForget ROB BROWN PHILIPPE BOUCHER Solid defenseman for the Pens during the 2009 Cup run. Scored the GWG in Game 1 against Carolina. JIM JOHNSON DAN KESA Any excuse to show this: JAMES NEAL James Neal is James Neal MATT NISKANEN Matt Niskanen is Matt Niskanen. RON TUGNUTT We always loved Tugnutt. Pens' financial woes meant Tugnutt had to go. DARRYL SYDOR On the ice for Talbot's last-minute goal in Game 5 against the Wings. SERGEI ZUBOV shoooooooooooottttttttttttt THE OTHER GUYS And here's the rest of the guys who either didn't really generate a lot of solid memories or we mentioned them in the San Jose post.

Maison Oberman has resembled the X Factor HQ these past two weeks. I kid you not. Mr O works in the music industry and is not quiet about vocalising his opinions. On the occasions that X Factor has graced our screens, he can be heard passing damning judgement on the delusionals who take part. Mr O has always picked out the winner on any talent show we have ever watched together from the first round of auditions. And that goes for my daughter's recent cheder competition of Davener of the Week.
I have always liked a singalong. I think it was ingrained in me from my BBYO days when around a camp fire at a national convention eighty or so of my contemporaries would holler out, in five part harmony, All The Leaves Are Brown by the Mamas and Papas - and a very tricky rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody.
Over the years, I have always enjoyed warbling my favourite tunes at top volume in the shower, bath or doing the housework. Mr O can frequently be heard shouting: "Please stop that racket, I'm trying to watch the football."
Knowing what a harsh critic he is, I was nervous to tell him of my latest venture. I can't tell you as I've signed a confidentiality clause. But suffice to say it involves singing and will end up on prime time TV. It makes my toes curl just thinking about it.
I've managed to have a few 'rehearsals' without my own mini-Simon Cowell noticing. But things took a distinct turn for the worse this week when a guitar was delivered with the note: "We forgot to mention but you've got to learn to play this too".
Mr O, expert guitar player and producer of urban 'cool' tunes, has been subjected to my hollering and twangling day and night. Do you remember the face drops of Cowell and Morgan when Susan Boyle opened her moustachioed mouth and sang like an angel? Do you remember their smirks turning to smiles as the sound of a million cash registers reverberated in their ears? I am like an anti-Susan Boyle.
Every time I stand up on our makeshift stage (the foot stool in the lounge) and open my mouth to sing, my husbands face turns from hopeful smiling to nervousness. As I paw incomprehensibly at the guitar with what he informs me is a 'pick', his feedback has become ever more withering: "You sound like a crow".
How I long for Louis Walsh or Amanda Holden. Someone with a kindly face and and a bon mot. "You definitely deserve to be here tonight Tracy-Ann. You've got a long career ahead of you" (two weeks until The Apprentice is back on).
I fully expected my four year old daughter to offer me some comfort in a Cheryl Cole "I may not be able to sing either but I've done alright" kind of way.
But she was even harsher than her father: "That sounded horrible, Mummy. Stop it!"
Simon, if you're looking for a replacement judge, your search is over.

The "View New Content" (commonly abbreviated to "VNC" on this community) and "My Content" search routines are important tools for most communities using IP.Board. While we have made improvements to these tools in 3.2 to improve both the reliability of both features, and the interface, we wanted to spend a little time enhancing the functionality of both tools as well. We realize that many of our customers have various suggestions and ideas for these tools, and while we cannot implement every suggestion put forth, we did want to implement some of the most useful and common requests where possible.
Search In Titles
In IP.Board 3.1, there is a global "Search in titles" checkbox available for all content types when using the advanced search form, however there is then an additional option for the forums content type specifically to search in "titles and posts" or "just in titles".
Naturally, this is somewhat confusing and contradictory. Additionally, it limits certain functionality to the forums application alone, functionality that may be useful in other applications. We have resolved this in IP.Board 3.2 by removing the forum-specific option (the second arrow in the previous screenshot) and enhancing the global option to allow you to specify "Search title and content", "Only search in titles", and "Only search in content".
This level of customization for searches in any application should help you better find content when you know where the search terms may be contained.
Moving and Merging Topics
In IP.Board 3.1 we added multi-moderation to the search results page, however many of our more astute customers noticed right away that the ability to merge topics and move topics was a glaring omission. This was not a mistake (there are additional challenges at the code-level with regards to forum permissions for moving topics), however we have overcome these limitations for IP.Board 3.2 and are happy to announce that you will now be able to merge and move topics right from the search results screen.
Sorting and Ordering User Content
In IP.Board 3.1, you are unable to sort or order a user's content, forcing you to review content from a user in a date-based fashion. While there is nothing immediately wrong with this approach, we have enhanced IP.Board 3.2 to now allow you to sort and order user content in any fashion supported by the application or content type.
We expect that this small but useful change will help you better find content individual users have submitted to the community.
Default VNC Method
A minor change, but one we have seen requested many times on these forums, we have added an ACP setting to allow the administrator to define the default "View New Content" method. You can now specify for your new users whether they should see "Content I have not read" by default, or "Content since my last visit". Users can still overide this when viewing the VNC results, but now you will be able to define the default that you feel is best for your community.
Content Filters for VNC
In the previous screenshot for "My Content", you will see that there are filters to drill down to "Topics I participated in", "Topics I started", and "Posts I made". This is a useful feature when viewing a user's content ... so we decided to expand it to the VNC search results as well.
The option "Posts I made" is not relevant to view new content (if you made the post, it will never be new of course), so this option is not present. However, you can now filter VNC results down to "Topics I participated in" and "Topics I started", allowing you an easy way to review new content on the community in topics that you are interested in. When combined with the new filter "Content I am following", you have a granular level of control over your content discovery process never before seen in forum software!
Forum Filtering in VNC
Another oft-requested feature, we have added the ability for user's to filter which forums they wish to see results from in the VNC search results screen.
Under the 'Other Filters' area in VNC, you will have an option "Filter by forum", which will launch a modal popup allowing you to specify which forums you wish to see content from. These filters are remembered (between sessions and across separate computers), with an indicator to let the user know when the filter is being applied.
We Hope You Enjoy!
While we realize that these changes do not necessarily satisfy everyone's wishes for VNC and My Content in IP.Board 3.2, we believe they will help resolve some of the most common limitations in the system, giving you greater flexibility and control over your searches. These changes should help members better find the content they are looking for and interested in, increasing activity on your site, and increasing probability of return for new users finding their way around. We will of course continue to improve VNC and all areas of IP.Board based on our client feedback.
Feel free to comment on this blog entry below or, if you have feedback unrelated to this blog entry, start a new topic in our feedback forum. If you have feedback related to changes beyond what this entry is referring to, please start a feedback topic. Be sure to check the What's New in IP.Board 3.2 topic for a running list of announced changes!

FormsFaculty of Education
Student Request to Withdraw from Program
published: 19-Aug-2011 PDF (487kb) StudentWithdrawalForm1314.pdf
Voluntary Withdrawal
Students may withdraw voluntarily, without academic penalty, prior to deadlines published in the Undergraduate Academic Calendar (see Academic Dates for the appropriate terms). It is recommended that students consult with the Deans Office before withdrawing. In such cases, the students must drop all their courses on LORIS and make arrangements with the Faculty of Education Technical Support office for the return or purchase of their laptop in order to withdraw from the program and the University. Students wishing to return after having withdrawn completely must reapply through the Ontario Universities Application Centre (OUAC) by the application deadline.
Temporary Withdrawal
Student requests for temporary withdrawal from the program will be considered only under serious medical circumstances or for compassionate reasons. If a temporary withdrawal is granted, credit will be given for any courses for which all requirements have been completed. Depending on the timing of the withdrawal, credit for field days and block practicum placements may not be granted. The student must withdraw from the University and may not attend their PDS site for the remainder of the academic year without the approval of the PDS principal and the Field Experience Officer. In the subsequent academic year, the student may be assigned to a new PDS site for the year. The student must register in and complete all courses which were not completed successfully in their initial year in the program.
Students should normally meet with the Dean or Associate Dean and/or the Field Experience Officer before making a formal request for temporary withdrawal from the program, in order to discuss their situation and options. When requesting a temporary withdrawal from the program, students must submit to the Deans Office a written request indicating the reason why a temporary withdrawal is being requested and, if the reason is a medical concern, a medical certificate and any other documentation that may be relevant in supporting their request. Students must contact the Deans Office at least six weeks prior to the term registration period to confirm their intention to return to the program.

Yes, this solution is very explicitly dependent on the E event model. I confess, it scares me every time I depend on the E event model...but I do it anyway because it really is safe and it really is convenient, and it really is easy to understand. I think it's just scary because it's different, different enough so it feels like you're depending on an implementation dependency (but you're not, of course, it is an explicit guarantee of the language). Anyway, as you can tell, I'm sold on it :-)

Important: This is an archived story, the event referenced is in the past.
For more information, please call 304.526.6317
Free screenings for stroke risk, peripheral vascular disease and blood pressure and fasting blood tests for glucose and cholesterol will be provided from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, May 30, in center court of the Huntington Mall.
This free community event is hosted by health professionals from CHH's Advanced Primary Stroke Center and Marshall Neuroscience in recognition of National Stroke Awareness Month. They will offer information and screenings to help you better understand your risk of having a stroke, and they will be joined by specialists providing information about diabetes, senior health and nutrition. This event marks the end of CHH's month-long Stroke Awareness Campaign, which used informational graphics throughout the mall to promote the importance of recognizing stroke signs and acting fast to seek medical attention.
Stroke is a serious emergency that can strike at any time and at any age; one out of four strokes occur in people under the age of 65. About seven million Americans 20 years of age or older have had a stroke, and 40 Americans experience stroke each day, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
"It is important to always be watching for signs and symptoms of stroke and we are proud to participate this month in activities and public campaigns to teach about the life-saving warning signs of stroke," said Mitzi Beckett, BSN, RN, Stroke Program Coordinator for the Advanced Primary Stroke Center at Cabell Huntington Hospital. "A fast response to someone suffering a stroke is critical and could save a life."
For more information about this event or your stroke risk, please call 304.526.6317.

Rumi Forum
User Stats
Profile Images
User Bio
TO SEE ALL RUMI FORUM VIDEOS PLEASE VISIT youtube.com/user/RumiForum
Rumi Forum was founded in 1999 with the mission to foster interfaith and intercultural dialogue, stimulate thinking and exchange of opinions on supporting and fostering democracy and peace all over the world and to provide a common platform for education and information exchange.
With this mission, the Forum set up 2 Centers under its umbrella, namely;
Center for Policy Studies
Center for Interfaith and Intercultural Dialogue.
The principal goal of the Rumi Forum is to promote peace in the world and contribute to a peaceful coexistence of the adherents of different faiths, cultures, ethnicities and races. For that to be achieved, we believe that everyone must be respectful to the environment and to all creatures' right to exist, believe in the sanctity of human rights and democracy and use all means at hand to make this coexistence possible. To this end, we promote education, exchange of information, opinions and expertise, with a special focus on including as diverse a range of viewpoints as possible in our activities. Our modest contribution to this universal aim consists of conferences, seminars, panel discussions, common projects, scholarships, publications, meetings, trips and several other activities.
Commensurate with its mission, the Forum takes its name from the 13th. Century Sufi philosopher-poet Mawlana Jalaladdin Rumi, whose reach embraced all humanity as personified by his message, "Come, whoever you are, come…" We welcome everyone who has a desire to explore 'the other' in the spirit of mutual respect and tolerance.
Rumi's universal message serves as the basis of our mission, which is to facilitate dialogue by promoting love to transform hate, understanding to prevent misinterpretation, flexibility against rigidity, and, above all, tolerance to overcome bigotry.
We have no one particular agenda and no inherent ideology, other than respect and genuine concern for the spiritual quality and welfare of life on this planet of ours.
We are a non-partisan organization; however, in principal, we support activities pertaining to the better service to humanity, such as promoting conflict resolution within and between nations. As such, we are committed to universal values of freedom, justice, democracy and the rights of all living beings.
Rumi Forum warmly welcomes everyone who wishes to work with us and supports the work of organizations and individuals in furthering peaceful relations, respect, and understanding between people of different faiths, beliefs and ideologies. We make efforts to be absolutely inclusive, and deny participation to no one.
We are open uniformly to adherents of all views and encourage a free exchange of opinions. We recognize and honor the specific differences that distinguish individuals and cultural groups, yet seek the common principles and values through which they can be harmonized.

Many of the loyal readers here (thanks again), have been discussing the idea that if the Hawks were to pursue Crumpler it would mean the end of the Trufant era. Along with this discussion is the question of how much a top corner is worth. If, and i am not suggesting they will ,the Hawks let Tru walk because he wants more money than god, here could be a replacement. We all know how Tim Ruskell likes his former players. This is guy that has gotten it done over the years and I don't think anybody can complain about his size, "At 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, he was one of the most physical corners in the NFL."
It is possible that the Hawks could get Brian Kelly and Alge Crumpler for the same price as Tru. The team would be getting long in the tooth, but the Defense overall is still pretty young. Also, it would allow the team the freedom of taking the best players off the board in April, instead of trying to fill needs.

1. Atrium SSO with JBOSS and LinuxJohn Baker Sep 17, 2011 1:56 PM (in response to Alex NameToUpdate)
1. AtriumSSO doesn't provide SSO for the BMC Mid Tier. See this link: http://www.javasystemsolutions.com/jss/ssoplugin/comparisons
2. JBoss uses a Tomcat engine, so any Tomcat based application should run in JBoss. The exact versioning of Tomcat/JBoss is a little tedious, because JBoss 4.2.3 is very old but has bits of Tomcat 5.5 in it. So the Tomcat component will accept the OpenSSO (which is AtriumSSO) JEE filter. BMC won't have tested it though.
3. BMC recommend separate hardware for AtriumSSO. You could run it all together on one machine, but OpenSSO is a huge beast of a product (ie 650Mb of code that no-one understands), so you'll need something powerful.

2. Atrium SSO with JBOSS and LinuxMatthieu Laurenceau Sep 21, 2011 9:55 PM (in response to Alex NameToUpdate)
Hi Alex.
1. Is it worth running Atrium SSO with only AR?
While the real merit of Atrium SSO is the ability to support SSO between BMC products, adding Atrium SSO to an AR System brings in additional authentication capabilities. For example, Atrium SSO 7.6.04 supports RSA SecurId and CAC, in addition to LDAP/AD. Also, differing authentication modules can be combined using chaining to perform as a single authentication source.
Even if the decision to not use Atrium SSO now with a single AR Server is made, Atrium SSO can be added to the system later when the capabilities provided can be put to better use.
2. Does Atrium SSO work with JBoss?
Yep, tested and supported.
The Atrium SSO server runs in a Tomcat v6 container on Windows, Linux, or Solaris. However, the BMC products which integrate with Atrium SSO run on all of these platforms along with AIX and HP/UX, and, in addition, the containers JBoss 4 & 5, Tomcat 5.5, Websphere 6 & 7, Weblogic 10, and ServletExec 5 & 6.
3. Can I run all three components on same Linux machine?
It depends. The main limiting factors would be the number of AR applications desired, the number of users accessing system, and the amount of load those users would generate.
Countering these factors would of course be the hardware used to run the components.
Generally, the load on the Atrium SSO server isn't very much (as compared to the AR server, mid-tier, or the AR database) as the SSO server is mainly used for login and then to validate sessions during the users work time.
Bench ideas: on a small dev box (4gb, 2-3.0GHz CPU) showed Atrium SSO could support 4,000+ simultaneous users WITH caching turned off (default cache is 3 minutes) AND the system never came near 100% load (60%-70%).

3. Atrium SSO with JBOSS and LinuxJohn Baker Sep 21, 2011 10:15 PM (in response to Matthieu Laurenceau)
It's important that users understand AtriumSSO, also known as OpenSSO, was never designed for AR System and does not bring BMC products together. Each one has a separate user repository, and with AtriumSSO, users have to manage a user repository for each product.
Indeed, there are knowledge base articles on the issue, discussed in this ARSlist post: http://www.javasystemsolutions.com/arslist/view/89041729

FLINT, MI – Security for the Crim has always been a major concern at all of the previous 36 events in the past but in year No. 37, safety is elevated to a new level.
Following the bombing at the famous Boston Marathon race earlier this year, Crim organizers are taking every precaution to prevent something like that from happening in Flint through Saturday. Local, state and federal police agencies are cooperating to make sure everything run smoothy.
"We were certainly far more aware of (security) and as soon as the bombings happened in Boston we knew that things were not going to be the same again this year and that security would be a heightened issue," said Crim Race Director Andrew Younger. "Everyone is stepping up to make sure that people know that they can come to an event like the Crim and not have to worry.
"So, all they have to think about is their race or their volunteer service that they're providing or the friend or family member who is racing," he added. "That's all they need to think about."
After the tragic events in Boston earlier this year, law enforcement and security groups reached out to the Crim to offer assistance. The state and city police departments have always carried out sweeps before the Crim to make sure the area is safe, but that will be even more intense this year.
"Everybody's sensitive to the fact that there was a bombing in Boston and it's on everyone's mind, so we're taking some pretty significant steps to counteract that," said Flint Police Department Lt. Jim Peterson. "We've got the FBI and the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms folks as well as Michigan State Police, us and the Genesee County Sheriff's Department. We've all made it a priority and we're a few steps above what we'd usually be."
University of Michigan-Flint Police Lt. Phil Smith is helping with the same technology coverage for the Crim as last weekend's Back to the Bricks, which it hasn't had in the past. UM-Flint will give the Crim the full use of all 150 video cameras at the university to monitor the safety of racers and spectators. The ATF is also letting the Crim use cameras within the course itself that were planted during Back to the Bricks, to look out for the race.
"Joint communications and cooperative efforts between responders led us to where we are today," Smith said. "We will have all commanders within the emergency operation center managing this technology along with all the communications for it. Whoever has a piece in communications will sit in our emergency operation center just like they did for Back to the Bricks."
More personnel are also being supplied from the Crim's medical partners while fewer people will receive all-access badges, for security purposes. Boston Marathon Race Director Dave McGillivray is scheduled to appear at that HealthPlus Crim Festival of Races in Flint as a special guest, arriving Thursday, but the longtime organizer wasn't involved in devising a safety plan for the race. McGillivray accepted the invitation from Crim Director of Race Services Pat Ball while the two were at a conference on short notice.
"I'm sure that they have a great team in place to do things like I would expect an organization like them to do it," McGillivray told MLive-Flint Journal in July. "In being there, I'll observe things myself and see if I have anything to offer at the end."

Maps and images have provided a unique access to many scholarly domains as well as diverse literary and visual genres. We would like to invite inquiry in the topics related to the transmission of representation of space along the Silk Road, for two thousand years the most important connection between the Far East, the Middle East and Europe. "Visual knowledge" has been chosen as the central theme to encourage comparisons in methodological approaches across disciplines such as art history, Asian studies, astronomy, cartography, climatology, cultural studies, geography, history of religion, history of science, Islamic studies, Medieval studies, post-colonial studies, travel literature, etc.
City and country maps, landscape paintings and crude drawings have shaped the perceptions of space and time in singularly complex ways. Astronomical and mathematical sketches have deeply influenced our understanding of the cosmos. Texts and images of deities and saints have merged into many religious traditions. The Silk Road has allowed the transmission of such representations. While scholars have thoroughly studied the transmission of texts across cultures, much less is known on the ways in which visual representation has been copied and adapted to new circumstances -- or faked. A selection of the conference papers will be published with an academic publisher of international reputation.
Venue and Date: University of Zurich, May 14-15, 2004. We hopefully will be able to cover the travel and accommodation expenses of a limited number of speakers.

We were all washing up after the Christmas Eve meal. (Have the ham on Christmas Eve, cook the turkey on Christmas Day and serve it with the leftover ham. Works every time.)
Enough booze had flowed and enough Annie Lennox had been played that the atmosphere was convivial and the discussion loose.
This year the guest list was entirely Antipodean. (One was born in England but grew up in New Zealand so it still counts.)
In London this is known colloquially as an "orphans' Christmas". Speaking of Antipodeans, the discussion turns to Tim Minchin having his atheist song banned from the Jonathan Ross Show.
I really like Tim Minchin. I say this. I also say the song -however mildly amusing- feels about three years too late as it feels like the atheist discussion has moved on from straw man pilloring. (So 2008.) He should have just done the unofficial "London Antipodean Christmas Song". (Below.)
One of my dear friends agrees with me about liking Tim Minchin. She uses as an example how he told his four year old daughter the "truth" when she asked him what happens when we die. According to Tim we just end. My friend waits for a response.
This is a wizard moment.
For you to understand this wizard moment, a little context is required. We can probably all agree that 2011 has been a mostly shit year. Economically, politically, seismically… you name it. But also on a micro level. It seems to everyone I have spoken to that the tragedy count for 2011; deaths, illnesses, layoffs, etc; is much higher than other years. (Perhaps the end of the world will be a billion billion little paper cuts rather than one big boom?)
My dear friend is no different. She's returning home much earlier than she wanted because her fiancé's job situation is so dire he's close to breakdown. The dream holiday she had been excited about all year was cruelly cancelled at the last minute (by her fiancé's boss). Her mother on the other side of the world has just kicked cancer in the balls for the second time in the last five years. She is not so much as agreeing with Tim Minchin as she is tabling a discussion topic she would like input on. My input.
We all know how this goes. Magical folk -perhaps inevitably- become the proverbial witch in the forest cottage for our muggle friends. We are the ones they turn to for this type of thing. And not just the practical 2am discussions in the yard over gin and too many cigarettes about how to clear the ghost from the new boyfriend's house or whatever. (Though those discussions did happen, obviously. It's a party, after all.)
So I pause, hang up the dish towel and consider my options. The temptation to start barking orders and pointing at each guest in turn was resisted: "Oh Hell no! You. Get the tealights out of that drawer. You. Go upstairs and get the sandalwood out of the middle cupboard. You. Go and pull the Buffy-themed ouija board off the shelf in the front room. You. Clear the table. Let's fucking invite some relatives round for a little Christmas drink and see what you think after that, yeah?" No. This is probably what I would have done if I were spending Christmas with you and the topic came up. (But you didn't invite me. No, no.. that's fine. Whatever.) However, this is a very different crowd.
And that's basically the key to playing the wizard at parties. Know your audience. What you want to talk about is rarely what they want to hear.
The objective is still the same. The topic is tabled because my friend wants to know it's okay to believe life continues beyond the meatsuit. She wants her hopes and nascent beliefs validated by her peers. She doesn't need to know how to summon Hermanubis to allow clear messages to pass between the worlds.
My inner protocol droid suggests a new strategy: let Reason win. So instead I say
"How nice for Tim's daughter to have a father that knows everything. Not that I'm questioning his right to raise his kid according to his beliefs (and even in this case I one hundred percent mean that) but it's just simply bad science to make a truth claim without the evidence to support it. I wholly support his goal of making sure she grows up without the fear of some afterlife punishment affecting her happiness choices but there have been a number of interesting developments over the last couple of years that provide clear scientific proof of human psi abilities and the extension of consciousness beyond the brain… there are also tens of thousands of documented cases of past life memories verified by county records and such.
When I asked my own father -who is on the atheist end of agnostic- the very same question he said 'well… some people believe we go to Heaven. Other people believe that something else happens. Other people believe nothing happens. But I personally don't know.'
If it were me I would have said something like that. Except for the last bit. Because, for whatever it's worth and a variety of reasons I'm not going to go into, personally I am extremely confident in the continuation of existence beyond death and I don't really care who knows it. More wine?"
My friend breaks into a half smile of peaceful recognition. Oddly, so does my flatmate whom I have always assumed (based on her taste in Guardianista boyfriends) was a staunch atheist.
It was some successful party wizardry, then. But also I think it's just not being a dickbag. In my late teens and early twenties I would have answered with a template response: "I've spoken to too many dead people not to have a healthy appreciation for the afterlife." (Is it just me or is life after death one of the perennial top three dinner party topics?)
But really this is just making oneself the centre of attention: look at me, I'm all witchy and shit. Let me regale you with my awesomeness. And that marginalises other guests because you move the topic of conversation away from something they feel they can contribute to. (Boasting about magical exploits with non-magical folk is like hanging out with the kids three years below you at school so you can pretend you're cool.)
Focusing instead on -in this case- parenting style means the conversation can keep going and also more neatly achieves the magical goal: making some people I love who are going through a rough patch feel a little bit better about the world.
That's really what was asked of this particular wizard at this particular party:
On a cold, dark night at the end of a cold, dark year my friend wanted to know that at least one other person thinks everything turns out all right in the end. That, one way or another, like Tim Minchin, we'll be drinking white wine in the sun.

Press release - 1/21/2008
Published 1/21/2008 (all press releases for this day)
On 01/21/08 at approximately 1353 hours officers responded to a call of shots fired in the 400 block of East Guava Street. Nobody was injured during the shooting but several shell casings were located. A search of the area for the suspects was conducted with negative results. During the investigation it was determined to be gang/tagger related.
Investigators from the Violent Crimes Unit received information that the suspect vehicle was located in the 2400 block of Tulare Pl. Officers secured the residence until a search warrant could be obtained. Further investigation revealed there was enough probable cause to support additional search warrants based on association with other gang members/tagging crews. As a result search warrants were executed at several locations in Oxnard and a residence in Camarillo. Several weapons including two assault rifles and several handguns along with items of gang paraphernalia were located and seized.
If anyone has information regarding the incident is encouraged to contact Detective Kujawa at 385-7547 or Crime Stoppers at 385-TALK.
An investigation is continuing.

Addressing the concern on the defensive line that Pete Carroll expressed this week, the Seahawks have signed DT Amon Gordon to the 53-man roster. Gordon saw preseason action with the team this year, but was ultimately cut and picked up by the Titans, after he stood out quite nicely in a preseason game against that very team.
To make room for the move, OL Allen Barbre became a roster casualty. Since Gordon already knows the defense, he'll likely suit up and see time on the field on Sunday against the Chiefs.

HAHA. i think its just to be funny. i think he is just a baby but him owning a store is what makes it so darn funny!
WTF is he, is he a baby or is he a midget? At first I was preety sure he was a kid, but then when you visit him in the shop, he grunts with a pretty haggard voice, and the fact that he is a pretty small kid monopolising a store
If the Xbox 360 console falls and hits someone, especially a small child, it could cause serious injury.
HAHA. i think its just to be funny. i think he is just a baby but him owning a store is what makes it so darn funny!

The Champions Just Keep Coming
Tribute by Don Talbot
It was 32 years ago that swimming coach Ken Wood moved to Townsville to replace Laurie Lawrence, who took over NSM Hurstville Club when Don Talbot accepted a position in Canada. In the nine years that Wood coached in Townsville, Lesleigh Hervey was selected on Australa's 1976 Olympic team and Michelle Pearson moved from Bundaberg to train with Wood and gained selection on Australia's 1978 Commonwealth Games Team for Canada. Freestyle sprinter Fiona Moore gained selection on two Australian teams. In 1973 she defeated Tracy Wickham at Crystal Palace London in the 100m Freestyle.
It was 1975 that Wood's Townsville Squad won the gold medal count at the Queensland Championships. This achievement has not been equalled previously, or since, in any state in Australia, where a country club defeated metropolitan clubs.
In 1981 Coach Wood was offered a position at the Australia Institute of Sport womens swim team, working with Bill Sweetinham. In 1984 together they placed seven women on Australia's Olympic Team.
Wood returned to Brisbane in 1984 and set up his programme at De Las Salle College's 50m-Heated complex at Scarborough, moving to Redcliffe Memorial Pool with business partner John Dempsey when that pool was upgraded to an indoor facility in 2001.
Legendary Australian Olympic Coach Don Talbot stated recently that Wood's club programme over a 20-year period was arguably the most prolific producer of Australia representatives in recent history. He attributed this success to Wood's coaching philosophy of discipline and constantly challenging his swimmers to take that extra step. Talbot stated he has serious concerns in the trends appearing with some Australian coaches tending to allow their swimmers to do that they want to do, instead of what they have to do.
Don Talbot's swimmers have won 13 Individual Olympic gold medals.
Since 1985 swimmers coached by Wood have been representative on Australia teams every year up to and including 2012.
The achievements over the past 20 years include:
- Queensland State Gold Medallists - in excess of 345
- National Open Gold Medallists - 86
- National Age Gold Medallists - 152
- International Gold Medallists (including relays) - 61
- World Records (short and long course, not including relays) - 15
- Olympic Records - 8
- Australia Records - 110
- Squad Swimmers Represented Australia 108 times since 1984
- Wood has coached on 28 Australian Teams since 1984 including Olympic Games, World Championships, Commonwealth Games, Pan Pacific Games.

Those really look flaky and toothsome. Their crescent shape makes them look so fancy too.

Yes! Every recipe should have an accompanying picture! I hate it when they don't, which is why I like to read blogs, they have the pictures included so I have an idea of what to expect. That's also why I have a recipe program on my computer, every recipe has a photo. It's much easier to browse for my meal plan that way.
I'm not certain from what you wrote above, what exactly were you unsatisfied with regarding this recipe? The assembly?
- November 21, 2010 12:32 AM

I agree with you, every recipe should have a picture accompanying it. I think it makes the cookbook much easier to read! The cookies look great, the crescent shape is very beautiful.

Sounds similar to rugelach but a different texture. They do look delicious!
- November 21, 2010 10:04 AM

I agree about the picture. It's hard to make something if you don't know what it's supposed to look like. But these turned out great! They look so good!
- November 22, 2010 1:00 AM
- shaz said...
Definitely agree about pictures, although I own very many tome-like cookbooks with almost NO pictures at all :) But then there are cookbooks I bought specifically because of the pictures. These cookies look great and I could definitely see myself eating some for breakfast.
- November 22, 2010 9:08 PM
- Tracy said...
These look wonderful! And I agree, cookbooks should have a photo of every recipe!
- November 23, 2010 12:19 AM

I also agree with the pictures! These cookies look great, nice to see something a little different to the typical cookie.

These look wonderfully delicious! I even have homemade apricot jam and I love almond!

Dating is a form of courtship consisting of social activities done by two people with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a partner in an intimate relationship or as a spouse. While the term has several meanings, it usually refers to the act of meeting and engaging in some mutually agreed upon social activity in public, together, as a couple. The protocols and practices of dating, and the terms used to describe it, vary considerably from country to country. The most common idea is two people trying out a relationship and exploring whether they're compatible by going out together in public as a couple, who may or may not yet be having sexual relations. This period of courtship is sometimes seen as a precursor to engagement or marriage. From the perspective of the history of humans in civilization, dating as an institution is a relatively recent phenomenon which has mainly emerged in the last few centuries. From the standpoint of anthropology and sociology, dating is...

Kumbo's Barack Obama Fan Club
January 20th, 2009 was a momentous day in the history of the United States. Barack Obama's inauguration was televised and celebrated around the world, and Kumbo, Cameroon was no exception.
The Kumbo Barack Obama Fan Club prepared for weeks for the event. The club, complete with President, Secretary, and board, was founded as a non-profit organization to support the work and sentiments of Obama. The Himalayan Institute staff received an invitation from the club to attend an all day celebration. The agenda was as follows:
Time — Activity
8:00am — Run Cross Country
10:00am — Speeches from the Club President
10:30am — Award of Prizes
11:00am — Achaba Boys Display
12:00am — Dance
5:00pm — Screening of the Inauguration
The HIC staff joined the club to watch the inauguration. The audience broke into cheers and applause as Obama said, "…all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness." To the people of Cameroon, Obama's election is a hopeful reminder that even the poorest and most oppressed people can pull themselves up to their rightful state of equality, dignity, and success.
The club will use the money raised during the day's events to support local HIV/AIDS clinics as well as a children's hospital.

Domestic Flight
|Nepal's domestic network includes some of the most remote and spectacular airstrips in the world. Many are on mountain sides surrounded by high peaks. Therefore, if there are clouds or high winds, the pilot cannot land. Domestic service in Nepal is famous for delayed or cancelled due weather or techinical problem however since degulation of the domestic airline business there are number of private companies operating flights whose provide better service. Domestic Airlines companies connect different destinations such as Pokhara, Bhairawa, Biratnager, Nepaljung in the soft sector and Lukla, Jomsom, Phaplu, Taplejung etc. for mountain region.
