Well, one thing I like about not losing weight one week is that so far I've been able to make up for it the following week. I weighed in this morning at 224, that's down 2 lbs from my last weigh-in. And with yesterday being my 60 day mark, that puts me down 12 lbs total. Hoorah.
I'm not having a problem with not eating primal, but I am having a problem not scheduling meals and having them readily available. I've been looking at some cookbooks, but with my wife thinking that this is nuts it;s sorta difficult to get her to even look at cookbooks and plan things with me, so what I'm cooking is just stuff for single person meals. I hate that part of it.
Not been able to exercise as much as I'd like, only really got in two sessions this past week, gotta do more there. I've noticed my lower back really is giving me fits though when I do my push-ups, at least on my last 3 or 4 in each set.
I think I'll just grok on from here....

Contents Move List Combos Controlling the Ground Controlling the Air With lighting quick speed and tricky mix-ups, Fei Long is the perfect choice for players who want to rush down their opponents. Outside of being able pressure with his Rekkaken and fast normal moves, he now has a command grab in Street Fighter 4 that will allow him to catch blocking opponenets off guard and follow up with a combo. The command grab is slow and does not have the best range though, so you will have to condition your opponent to needlessly block with the threat of a Focus Attack Dash Canceled Shienkyaku. Move List
Street Fighter 4 'MyCheats Fei Long Combo' Video
Medium or Hard Punch, Rekkaken His basic close range combo. Does good damage and if the first hit of the Rekkaken is blocked, you can delay the second hit or dash in for a throw. Hard Punch, Shienkyaku Another close range combo. You can Focus Attack Dash cancel the Shienkayaku and follow up with another Shienkyaku or Rekkukyaku. Rekkukyaku, Hard Punch, Rekkaken This is a great combo since the Rekkukyaku is Fei Longs best way to start a combo from long range. The Rekkukyaku can also avoid fireballs and projectiles when timed correctly so it's a good way to punish characters who zone with projectiles. Crouching Medium Punch, Super Fei Long's crouching Medium Punch has good range so this is a good combo to finish the match with when you have full meter. Tenshin, Hard Punch, Rekkaken or Shienkyaku Being able to combo off a command grab is one of Fei Long's main strengths and he can either follow up with a Rekkaken or Focus Attack Dash Cancel a Shiekyaku for more hits. Controlling the Ground You will want to take advantage of Fei Long's fast dash, Rekkukyaku and long reaching normal moves, Hard Punch and crouching Hard Punch to control move in on your opponent. Once you are in close you can use the threat of his Shienkyaku to catch blocking opponents with his command grab. Fei Long's Rekkukyaku when timed right will fly over projectiles (EX version will pass right through them) so this is a great move to close the distance with projectile throwing characters. When the last hit connects you can combo into standing Hard Punch which leads to many combo possibilities, so even against non-projectile throwing characters this is a good move to use. When it is blocked you are fairly safe and usually only have to worry about teching a grab or you can also go for a Focus Attack Dash Canceled Shienkyaku if you have the meter which will hit their throw attempts. The Rekkukyaku can also cross-up downed opponents as they rise when spaced correctly. His Rekkakens move him forward and can be used to catch wiffed moves from his opponents so it is a good move to use from about a character lengths away. Just like in previous games he can delay each hit so even if the first hit is blocked, not only is he safe from throws but he can punish many of his opponents counter attacks with the second delayed hit or a Shienkyakyu . Once you work your way in, he now has a command grab that can snatch blocking opponents and follow up with a combo. It is relatively slow and does not have the best range (slightly more range than a normal throw) so you will have to set it up by using a standing Light Punch to put the opponent in block stun or the threat of a Focus Attack Dash Canceled Shienkyaku to keep them blocking in fear of being juggled. Also, since it does have slightly more range than a normal throw you can punish wiffed throws with it, but be careful because the distance is subtle and if you wiff you will leave yourself open to being punished with a counter attack. Also, after a blocked Rekkaken, you can walk forward slightly and attempt to catch them with this command grab. As far as his normal moves are concerned, his crouching and standing Hard Punch has great range and good speed. His forward and Medium Kick is also a great normal move because it is very quick and hits overhead.
Controlling the Air
Fei Long's best special move to stop jump in attacks is his Shienkyaku in that it works like a Dragon Punch. It does not have the same angle as say Ryu, Ken or Sagats uppercuts but it is still a great way to take people out of the air when they are right above you. His standing Hard Kick is a great anti-air move and will stop most jump in attacks that are above him and infront of him. His Medium Kick is also a good option but is not as reliable as his Hard Kick and does less damge. GO TO STREET FIGHTER 4 CHARACTER SELECTION

MILWAUKIE -- As the football players finished their homework, they got up from their desks and mingled outside the classroom, leaving the others to their studies.
Standing near the doorway, first-year Milwaukie High School coach Don Johnson scanned his handwritten list of player names and each one's missing assignments from the previous week.
"Did you finish your math?" Johnson asked as senior strong safety DaJuan Gant passed into the hallway. "And what about this other class?
"Stay close, because we're going to watch film here in about 10 minutes."
Johnson's attention to academics has helped raise the football team's cumulative grade-point average from a 1.75 last spring to about a 2.93 this fall, and is helping some athletes reach eligibility requirements to play Division I college football.
The Mustangs' week starts with an hour-long study hall at 3:15 p.m. every Monday, and it's been that way since Johnson took over as head coach. He expects players to use that time to do what they need to do to stay on top of their schoolwork, whether that's retaking a test, seeking help from a teacher, or working on assignments.
"We take this very seriously," said Johnson, in his first head coaching position. "How can you play sports without good grades? I love my kids like my own, so I'm going to treat them like my own. That's how it goes."
Johnson's no-nonsense approach is changing lives.
Take Mustangs senior wide receiver Kendrick Bourne.
With Johnson's help, the 6-foot-2, 175-pound transfer from Benson has done an about-face. Bourne is passing all of his classes with As or Bs, his overall GPA has gone from a 1.90 to a 2.591 and climbing, and he's starting to hear from Division I schools that a year ago had little or no interest in him.
"I know I can play college football," Bourne said. "It's just the grades with me."
While at Benson, Bourne said he "ran with the wrong crowd." He spent as much time hanging out at Holladay Park and the Lloyd Center shopping mall as he did going to class, and he got suspended from the football team because of his poor grades and other off-field transgressions.
Then Bourne transferred to Milwaukie, and things changed.
"Coach Johnson started setting everything up for me to do what I need to do to go to a Division I school," Bourne said. "I've been talking to Idaho, Washington State and Portland State. I'm hoping to talk to some more, for sure.
"I've just got to work hard and hit the books. That's all it is."
Bourne took the SAT two weeks ago and is almost certain he scored well enough to meet the NCAA's eligibility requirements to qualify for a Division I athletic scholarship.
"The thing about Kendrick is, once he gets his SAT scores back and schools know he's a complete green light, things will heat up, big time," said Johnson, who was on the phone last week with Colorado coach Jon Embree regarding Bourne. "He's come a long way in a very short time. I'm proud of him."
Junior wide receiver Tyler Spencer saw his grades jump from a C-average to a B-average under Johnson's watch.
"When Coach Johnson told me I wasn't going to play if I didn't get my grades up, I snapped and I got my stuff together," Spencer said.
Spencer would rather not think about where he might be if he had stayed on the path he was on before Johnson arrived.
"I probably would have fell back further grade-wise and not cared after that," he said.
Eligibility rules vary by district. At Milwaukie, a student-athlete must be passing five classes to compete, which means someone could earn all Ds and be eligible. However, Johnson wants to hold his players to a higher standard than the district minimum, which he said is something he learned from his father, Don Sr., the current defensive line coach with the San Diego Chargers, when he was an assistant at UCLA under Bob Toledo and Karl Dorrell.
It helps, too, that Johnson is in charge of campus security at Milwaukie, which makes it easy for him to keep tabs on his players and stay in contact with their teachers.
"We do grade checks every week and progress reports every day," said Johnson, who maintained a B-average while playing defensive tackle and majoring in marketing at Azusa Pacific University. "I won't say the culture I've tried to develop was non-existent before I got here, because we have kids like Griffin Johnson and Mitchell Wilcox who have never had less than an 'A' in their entire life. But we're on top of it."
What happens if he sees an 'F' on a progress report?
"You have until the end of the week to fix it or you don't play," Johnson said.
Success in the classroom has also translated into success on the field for the Mustangs, who are 6-2 overall and 4-2 in the Northwest Oregon Conference after Friday's 46-26 victory over crosstown rival Putnam.
Friday's victory also guaranteed the Mustangs their first winning season since they went 7-4 in 1991.
"Obviously, with the football team, there's the win-loss record, which is huge," Milwaukie principal Mark Pinder said. "But the more important piece is the academics. Coach Johnson holds those kids accountable and they don't want to mess with Coach.
"For football players, because they're usually the biggest kids around and they tend to draw in popularity in a school, if they are being leaders and going to class, other kids see that and say, 'Well, that's what I need to do, too.'"
Added vice principal Tim Taylor: "The part I'm taking from the change in the football program and the change in the success that they're having is that we've got a critical mass of kids going in the right direction and that changes the culture of the school.
"Coach Johnson is doing a great job and we're all pulling rope in the same direction, so that feels good."
Johnson hopes his players see that his program is about more than wins and losses.
"It's not like you're just sitting here getting football out of somebody and saying, 'I just need you for four quarters,'" Johnson said. "No, I'm not here to have you gain 1,000 yards. I'm here to help you with your life and achieve something. So, it's a whole different ball game.
"This is a year-long task. It's not, 'While you're playing football, I want you to have good grades.' I'm going to be on you until you walk out of here and across that stage."

Influencer: The Power to Change Anything
Joseph Grenny
President, VitalSmarts
Provo, Utah
General Session Speaker, 2008 APWA Congress
Editor's Note: Joseph Grenny is one of the Keynote Speakers at the 2008 APWA Congress in New Orleans, Louisiana. His General Session presentation is entitled "Influencer: The Power to Change Anything" and takes place at 8:30 a.m. Monday, August 18. Grenny will also give a presentation entitled "Applying the 'Influencer' Principles: How to Change Almost Anything" at 2:00 p.m. that afternoon. For more information on our upcoming Congress, please visit our website at www.apwa.net/Meetings/Congress/2008.
We are surrounded by profound, pervasive and persistent problems like AIDS, poverty, drug addiction, crime and divorce. These problems are so complex and powerful that they leave us feeling baffled and helpless.
Unfortunately, our workplaces are not immune. As HR leaders, we develop compelling strategies that are certain to overhaul corporate culture or decrease employee turnover; but then our people fail miserably to execute our plan and our workplace becomes beset with poor quality, employee dissatisfaction and lousy performance.
It's All About Behavior
Our research shows that failure to implement change is the result of leaders' inability to influence new behavior.
One CEO we worked with declared failure on a Lean/Six Sigma effort after six years and millions spent in resources. When asked why he gave up, he lamented, "I'm tired of trying to teach old dogs new tricks. I haven't figured out how to make Six Sigma part of our culture. And it's too expensive to keep trying."
Unfortunately, like this CEO, we've become so accustomed to influence failures that we've stopped searching for methods to succeed.
In Search of Influencers
Thankfully, coping and carping aren't necessary. It turns out it is possible to influence most any behavior with surprisingly predictable success.
A quiet community of practitioners around the world uses powerful influence principles to solve the world's most challenging problems. They succeed by influencing profoundly entrenched behaviors in rapid, sustainable and effective ways. And not surprisingly, their success was consistently attributable to three principles:
Find Vital Behaviors
The gifted influencers we studied focused their efforts on the few vital behaviors that if enacted regularly, consistently and without exception will bring about the desired results.
Dr. Donald Hopkins and his team at the Carter Center embarked on an audacious quest to eradicate the Guinea worm—the world's largest human parasite which has no cure or vaccine. Its life cycle begins when villagers drink water from a contaminated pond. The worm's eggs hatch in the stomach and grow in the victim's body. When the worm reaches three feet in length, it secretes acid and burrows through the body toward the nearest surface. As it approaches the skin, painful blisters form. The only relief is to soak the affected body part in the pond which bursts the blister and releases thousands of eggs into the water source perpetuating the cycle.
After studying this profound, persistent problem, Dr. Hopkins and his team realized they could eradicate the worm from any village by focusing on three vital behaviors:
If every villager enacted these three vital behaviors consistently for a year, the life cycle would be broken and the guinea worm would be eradicated from that village—forever!
Make Change Inevitable
To make change inevitable you must ensure that vital behaviors are enacted every time, all the time, without exception. So how do influencers accomplish this seemingly impossible feat?
Master influencers understand that behavior is determined by six sources of influence. They work assiduously to uncover the hidden causes of current behavior. Then they amass a combination of all six of these sources in support of new behavior.
The root cause of disappointment and underperformance is not a failure of ideas; it's a failure of influence. The most important capacity we possess is our ability to influence behavior—that of ourselves or others. With a modest increase in influence repertoire and skills, any leader can generate substantial progress to the results he or she cares about most.

As luck would have it, my recent Irish vacation was like the life of Riley.
Irish jokes rained down on us daily, with even more frequency than the "liquid sunshine." Our taste buds did the Irish Riverdance over the farm-fresh food. And, we kicked up our heels in the castles, the manors and the Emerald Isle's green countryside at every opportunity.
Statistics say U.S. citizens outnumber U.K. visitors 3 to 1, and so we "butter the Irish bread," so to speak. The Irish like and appreciate Americans - imagine that!

Here are some highlights of my visit there as well as dining and activity suggestions:
Double your fun in Dublin
We started off with a bang at the No. 1 tourist spot in Dublin: the Guinness Storehouse. Outside the historic structures at St. James Gate, horse-and-carriage taxis waited on cobblestone streets - and inside the seven-story visitor experience, we gazed up through the Guinness World Records' tallest glass pint, five stories high.
In 1759, Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease on four acres here for 45 pounds. Now, it encompasses 50 acres and the brewery produces 3 million pints a day.
The visitor's goal is the Gravity Bar, with panoramic views of Dublin and beyond. But first, you must make your way up each level. It took us hours. We sipped, inhaled hop and barley scents in aroma rooms, poured the "perfect pint," got certificates to prove it, listened to guides, toured historical sights, shopped at the retail outlet and ate at a restaurant.
"The USA is 23 percent of our visitors market," Executive Chef Justin O'Connor told us at the Brewers Dining Hall. "We make beef and Guinness stew, and we've added Irish mussels in Guinness cream sauce, Irish smoked salmon on Guinness bread and chocolate truffles with Guinness. Classic food, simply done, from local suppliers and Irish fields."
With pints in hand, we popped up to the Gravity Bar, and it was a sea of yellow and blue athletic shirts and shenanigans as the Swedish hurling team was there en masse, drinking dark and creamy brew the day before their big game. Oh, my Guinness! It sure was fun.
In front of St. Patrick's Cathedral, we overheard, "How does the world know Jesus was Irish?"
"Well, he had a dozen drinking buddies! He lived at home till he was 33! He thought his mother was a virgin! His mother thought he was God!"
Even late-great Irish writer Oscar Wilde had his tomfoolery quote pinned up on a nearby building.
"Work is the curse of the drinking class," we read, before walking to Old Jameson Distillery, circa 1780, to see how work was done in the old days.
We took one of the 30-minute daytime tours that delighted us with its laugh-out-loud introductory movie. Lo and behold, the Swedish hurling team was at Jamesons, gearing up even more for the big game.
The literary life
Indubitably, Dublin offers much more than just beer and whiskey tours. Literary types may peruse the James Joyce Museum, George Bernard Shaw's birthplace and the National Library. Dublin is a UNESCO City of Literature with a claim on Nobel Prize winners such as William Butler Yeats.
The most famous literary attraction is Trinity College & Book of Kells, which transports you straight into a "Harry Potter" film fantasy. Do go there and capture the magnificence and grandeur of the upper-level library.
Trinity College researchers have traced President Barack Obama's family tree on his mother's side to the 17th century, when his 6th-great-grandfather, Michael Kearney, they say, was a successful Dublin wigmaker and politician.
For sports fans only
There are more than 300 golf courses in the country - no wonder Ireland is so green! At least 80 are oceanfront, and others are situated on loughs and heaths.
"The Irish love dog racing, too," says Mike O'Dwyer, owner of Mulligans on the Blue and Fabiani's, who was in Dublin when we were there to race his greyhound, Hawaii Kinsale. "Dublin's Shelbourne Park runs races three times a week. Plus, there are 32 other dog tracks in the country."
Horses are also an Irish passion as much as a tradition. There are 28 horse tracks countrywide and 233 racing days each year, you can bet on it.
You may also bet on hurling matches. I would have put my money on Paddy Power that weekend. But believe it or not, the Swedes won! Hmm . . . wonder what the Irish hurling team was doing the day before?
"This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever," Sigmund Freud allegedly said about the lifestyle of the Irish.
Dublin's culinary scene
We couldn't have been more pleased to stumble upon Fade St. Social by famous Irish Chef Dylan McGrath on our first night in Dublin. This forward-thinking seasonal cuisine restaurant boasts a cool, clean Scandinavian design, yet it's situated in a Georgian brick building.
We grabbed the last seats at the gastro-pub's tapas bar, where we devoured popcorn chicken, oysters with chilled cured salmon cream and lemon-salmon dressing, and Irish beef carpaccio with celeriac and apple remoulade.
Across Drury Street from Fade St. Social is the Brooks Hotel, with its Jasmine Bar, a fabulously quiet spot for cool jazz on the piano. Voted one of the "Great Whisky Bars of the World" by Whisky Magazine and listed on the Whiskey Trail of Ireland, Jasmine pours more than 100 different varietals and offers the Whiskey Tasting Experience with Connemara Peat Single Malt and Midleton Very Rare 2006. By the way, it's spelled with an "e" in Ireland and without in Scotland.
Temple Bar is a pub as well as the most popular nighttime tourist area of Dublin. Prices are higher here than where locals hang out. Patrons may drink outside, and cigarette smoke is as thick as the streets packed with raucous Swedes and other young tourists from many countries.
"What butter and whiskey won't cure, there is no cure for," shouted an Irishman near Ha'penny Bridge. Speaking of Irish butter, it's the best.
Grafton Street is like a restaurant row. Bewley's Cafe offers lunchtime drama shows and evening cabaret, jazz and comedy. Cafe en Seine was a great find on Dawson Street, a sprawling art deco masterpiece with three-story atrium, art nouveau glass, tall trees and statues.
We discovered Avoca Cafe on Suffolk Street next to Trinity College, quenching our thirst from a jug of housemade lemonade, and dove into the seafood board of crisp lemon sole, poached Clare Island salmon, roast Spanish prawns and Castletown crab with tartare sauce.
We heard all about the Reading Room on Simmonscourt Road in Dublin, and it didn't disappoint. The Four Seasons' day and night eatery was surprisingly casual, and affordable to boot. The menu listed nibbles, sharing boards, soups, salads, classic sandwiches, mains and desserts.
The maritime sharing board had a fun presentation of warm garlic brown crab claws and shrimps in jars along with chilled oysters and fragrant mussels. We nibbled on crispy confit of pork belly with pickled beets with apple and vanilla puree, chorizo and grapefruit salad.
But the best meal we had in Dublin was at The Cellar at the Merrion Hotel across the street from Leinster House parliament building, near St. Stephens Green.
The Cellar may not be the five-star Merrion's top restaurant, Patrick Guilbaud, but under its vaulted ceilings and in its crooks and crannies comes off-the-charts cuisine.
We savored starters such as terrine of venison and duck confit with Clementine mustard and raisin-pecan croutes; and Liscannor crab with sweet corn veloute.
Entrees such as Kilmore Quay grilled black sole with garlic spinach, lemon-caper noisette paired with Domaine Vacheron Sancerre from the Loire Valley blew us away.
The Merrion also offers a slice of the 19th century with Art Tea, a lavish afternoon of miniature sweets inspired by J.B. Yeats and William Scott.
Sip Earl Grey, superior oolong or jasmine pearl green tea and savor savories, breads and cakes and outrageous handcrafted Art Tea pastries.
The hotel itself is a Georgian masterpiece with intricate details and inspiring gardens. It's located right around the corner from O'Donaghues pub and inn and Foley's pub, both famous for their Irish music.
Sheridan's Cheesemongers in Dublin, Galway, Waterford and Meath purvey excellent farmhouse picks such as Bellingham blue and Mount Callan. The expert staff offers plentiful tastes from giant wheels. You may bring pasteurized cheeses home to the U.S., no problem.
But one thing you won't find anywhere is corned beef and cabbage. Executive Chef Fintan Ryan of Carlton Airport Hotel in Dublin comes to Maui each year to cook hundreds of pounds of it for Mulligans on the Blue's annual St. Patrick's Day party in Wailea. "In Ireland," he says. "We use bacon and cook it with cabbage. The bacon is more like cured pork. The way Americans eat it is a New England thing."
You'll adore Adare
A multiple winner in Ireland's prestigious Tidy Towns competition, Adare is derived from the Celtic words, "Ath Dara," or "ford of the oak," referring to a fallen tree bridge that was a passage over the River Maigue, now replaced with a "new" 12th-century arch.
By the Middle Ages, Adare was a large settlement, boasting the Desmond Castle and three monasteries, the Franciscan and the Augustinian friaries and the Trinitarian Abbey. Tourists may visit the ruins and buildings.
By 1820, the Earl of Dunraven started to build the legendary Adare Manor. He never saw its completion, as it took 35 years to finish. Adare Manor is exquisite, rivaling any castle I've seen in Ireland. It remained a private family estate until 1982, when the Kane family from Florida restored it to its former glory; now it's a five-star hotel.
Today, Adare is a tiny village of 2,000 people with thatched-roof cottages housing boutiques and restaurants. A magnificent park runs along the River Maige.
We stayed in the heart of the village at four-star Dunraven Arms. The hotel dates back to 1792 and is a former estate coach house. The bulletin board displays pictures of guests Teddy Kennedy and Michael Douglas.
Its award-winning Maigue Restaurant offers views of the thatched cottages and park. Famous for roast beef and baked Limerick ham carved from the trolley, it also serves Irish prawn bisque with brandy cream; Bluebell Falls goat cheese salad with beets, oranges and roasted pine nuts; and creme brulee with lavender shortbread and fresh raspberries.
More and more castles
An easy 25-minute drive from our base at Dunraven Arms in Adare was Bunratty Castle & Folk Park in County Clare. Along with Knappogue and Dunguaire castles, Bunratty takes you back in time with medieval banquets on long oak tables, candlelight and open fires. Tap your feet to Irish singers and musicians, sip honey mead from a goblet, and dine on four-course meals and select wines.
We chose to tour Bunratty by day and enjoy lunch just outside the castle grounds at the original Durty Nelly's pub, established in 1620. We slurped three fresh oysters on the half shell and a glass of Guinness.
Next up was King John's Castle in Limerick. Situated on the River Shannon, its towers offer the highest observation point of the city. The renovated castle is an ultra-modern visitor experience with touch-screen technology that lets you explore castle life, siege and warfare.
Of course, you'll be told you "must kiss the Blarney Stone" at Blarney Castle, as it gives the gift of eloquent gab. You also must shop at nearby Blarney Woollen Mills, with bargain deals on Waterford crystal and Irish linens.
Cong is King
We drove north from Galway City and sang along to songs such as "The Irish Rover," and "Molly Malone" on our new Irish pub CD.
We stopped at the thatched-roof home of a family friend and walked past a gaggle of ducks, sleeping dogs and 99 fat sheep before being warmly welcomed indoors.
Then it was off to Village Cong, County Mayo where director John Ford filmed the John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara movie, "The Quiet Man," which in 1952 put Ireland on the world tourist map.
Danagher's pub that was in the film is still there, and we enjoyed music there one night by the peat fire in the stone fireplace.
The five-star Ashord Castle is a five-minute walk away. Situated on Lough Corrib, Ireland's second-largest lake, its foundation was laid in 1228. It changed hands several times over the centuries and was upgraded and expanded. It's just sublime. Once the Guinness family estate, it became a luxury hotel in 1939.
New owners, Red Carnation hotel group, will close it January to March for even more renovations.
We felt like royalty walking the manicured grounds boasting a golf course, gardens and fountains, and we tried our hand at falconry and it was epic. A lifetime memory. The castle offers clay shooting, horseback riding and bicycling as well.
We took a boat ride with Corrib Cruises. Capt. David Luskin said his grandfather built the antique boathouse across the moat from the castle. He took us to Inchagoill Island, where we toured ancient ruins. We also docked near Oscar Wilde's home, next to the castle.
As for cuisine and service, Ashford Castle was impeccable in every detail. Five-star all the way, at its George V restaurant.
We went for the gusto with the four-course meal. Cream of fennel-lime soup was topped with air-dried lamb; organic leaves with custard of Cooleeney cheese, sunflower seed brittle and caramelized red-onion dressing; reed cooked rack of lamb with goat cheese potatoes and fresh mint; and dark chocolate Bavarois with wild berries.
Powerscourt rules
Just 40 minutes south of Dublin is Enniskerry in County Wicklow. You may drive there from Dublin, or stay the night in classic old-world bed-and-breakfasts or the five-star Ritz-Carlton Powerscourt.
Picturesque Enniskerry set the film stage for Laurence Oliver's 1944 "Henry V" and the 2007 "P.S. I Love You," starring Gerard Butler.
Just five minutes away from the village square is famous Powerscourt Estate and Gardens, the location for "The Count of Monte Cristo."
In the 13th century, a medieval castle was built and in 1730, the first Viscount Powerscourt commissioned a 68-room Palladian mansion. Now restored to its former glory after a fire in 1974, Powerscourt houses Avoca mall, the Terrace Cafe and a museum for children.
In the house, you pay to tour the Powerscourt Gardens and then you stroll past statues, terraced paths, rose gardens, ponds and a pet cemetery. Redwoods and oaks tower above.
Powerscourt Waterfalls is the highest in Ireland and a short drive from the estate. Ritz-Carlton Powerscourt also offers visits to the River Walk, tranquil forest pathways that were built by the viscount in 1868 so he could fish.
The hotel resembles Powerscourt Estate and is just a five-minute walk away. It houses the epic Gordon Ramsay restaurant, where we dined after touring the gardens on the freshest Atlantic halibut with carrot puree and coriander, gnocchi, salted peach, soy and ginger; and loin of Wicklow lamb, eggplant puree, risolle, baby artichoke and cherry tomatoes, as well as passion fruit souffle with salted caramel ice cream.
Another Enniskerry "must do" is to drive through Wicklow Mountains National Park, with glacial bogs, hills of heather with plump sheep, forests, rivers and waterfalls. A great picnic spot is Glendalough glacial lake, with ancient monastic settlements.
Gallant Galway
Ireland's happening west coast city jumps with nightlife as well as daytime activities, culture and music. Yet, its cobblestone streets and ancient doors and buildings will have you stepping back in time to a place that evokes medieval Ireland.
Galway Market is the place to go for farm-fresh produce and arts and crafts. Galway Atlantaquaria as well as Leisureland are perfect for kids. The city also boasts five universities and tons of restaurants.
Galway's seafood reigns supreme, and the city just celebrated with a big Oyster Festival.
We dined at O'Grady's on the Pier and Hotel Meyrick's Oyster Grill Restaurant, the latter offering large Victorian windows with views of Eyre Square, where John F. Kennedy once gave a passionate speech about his Irish heritage.
We had the table d'hote menu: crostini with woodland mushrooms and blue cheese; grilled fillet of North Atlantic cod with sundried tomato and basil butter; and lemon posset for dessert.
House Hotel in Galway's historic Latin Quarter, just off Quay Square and Spanish Arch, offers an early-bird two course meal that puts out some fine seafood.
First family of food
Modern Ireland is planets apart from its troubled past, which included the Great Famine between 1845 and 1852, when a million people died of starvation and a million fled the country. It's no wonder that today the Irish have a love of food.
In 2013, The Gathering is a nationwide promo inviting all of the clans that left to return and celebrate events such as the Galway Oyster Festival and the Bram Stoker Experience: Get Sucked into Sligo.
The Ballymaloe Literary Festival of Food and Wine was one of many events at the Ballymaloe House & Cookery School, owned by the Allen family. Former Mauian Tom "Knockninny" Kelly now lives in Portumna, Ireland. He told me I "must" go to Ballymaloe to dine and meet the Allens.
Kelly went with his grandparents 41 years ago, and the matriarch, Myrtle Allen, is still vibrant and fun. We dined with her and daughter Darina Allen, the Emerald Isle's most famous chef and a best-selling author and TV personality - and the rest of the Allen family, including farmer Rory Allen, who has windsurfed at Hookipa and loves Maui.
Darina is chairwoman of Slow Food Ireland, and she was the featured speaker along with Ireland's prime minister the day before at the Grow Your Own event in Waterford.
Situated near Cobh on the southern tip of Ireland, Ballymaloe is 14 fields away from the Atlantic Ocean. It has ancient walled organic gardens, a bird sanctuary, a swimming pool, a coffee store, a gift shop, a grain-house ballroom, and a beautiful estate house that serves as a hotel with restaurant.
Everything on the buffet came from the farm, such as free-range pork, beef, lamb, duck and turkey. All were the best ever.
We were also served the most flavorful spiced carrot-tomato soup, Shanagarry stuffed peppers, and seafood such as mussels and clams in the Goan style.
"I've taught thousands at the cooking school," says Darina. "It's impossible to give an exact figure. I have had so many Americans who have attended both our 12-week certificate courses as well as shorter one-day, two-and-a-half day and five-day courses."
So many Mauians I've spoken with love to vacation in Ireland, including MauiGrown Coffee's Kimo Falconer, Green Ti's Erika Oleska, Maui Culinary Academy's Julie Umetsu, Cafe O'Lei's Michael and Dana Pastula, Green Realty Group's Lisa Teichner, Five Palms' Eileen Gallegos, and Mulligans on the Blue's Damian Nestor. Even Mick Fleetwood just performed in Dublin last month with Fleetwood Mac. If you have the chance, do go there. It will be the life of Riley.

Sinkhole opens up after water main breaks in Hackettstown, NJ
Crews had a big mess on their hands Tuesday in Hackettstown, N.J.
According to police, a water main broke in the area of 110 Ferris Place.
During the water main break, a sinkhole formed.
The waterline was repaired Tuesday and after a brief outage, service was restored to about 20 customers.
No one was evacuated.
Officials said it wasn't clear if the sinkhole was already under the ground or if the water main break caused the sinkhole.
Ferris Place will remain closed between Deerfield Drive and Carter Terrace until further notice, officials said.
Another sinkhole opened up Thursday following a water main break in the 100 block of College View Drive. On Saturday, it continued to grow, causing part of a resident's driveway to collapse, police said.

Whether they were voted out of office, or if they didn't run in the election, politicians are legally allowed to collect a 'transition payment' from the Quebec government.
The calculation is based on either the person's salary over the last 12 months, or the highest salary over a period of 36 uninterrupted months worked.
The Journal de Quebec reports that outgoing premier Pauline Marois will not be taking the $181,000 payout she's entitled to.
When Marois left politics for the first time in 2006, she claimed a $128,000 transition payment.
She had promised not to accept a second payout.
Former student leader and now ex-MNA Leo Bureau-Blouin will have access to a $35,000 transition payment, according to the Journal de Montreal. He was only in office for 18 months.

The Times wine writer picks her favourite reds for the warmer months
2008 Saint Joseph, Les Chaponnes, Gabriel Meffre, France
Sainsbury's, down to £8.79 until June 29 2008 was not as good a vintage in the northern Rhône as 2007. No matter, this tasty rhône red made from the syrah grape is tailormade for summer, equally at home with barbecued meats as it is with beef carpaccio with a strong mustard sauce. Hand-harvested, mature syrah given a lengthy three-week maceration on skins, fermentation in tank and then ageing in French oak barrels for over a year, yields a seductive black pepper-spiked, blackberry and blueberry-layered red. Scoop this up before it goes back

During this contentious process, the boundaries of the political are redrawn, and economic and political scales redefined. Many countries have experienced institutional voids with regard to the new challenges posed by state re-scaling. The current financial crisis in the Euro zone is a case in point. This also applies to the management of cross-border water and natural resources, the coordination of regional developments, the regulation of human and capital flows, and so on. Existing scholarship has long studied societies where the absence or weakness of particular institutions inhibits social and economic development. Yet until more recently insufficient attention was paid to the questions of how and under what circumstances institutional can voids be filled. Whereas a growing number of studies ( e.g. Khanna and Palepu 1997) have documented intriguing cases where entrepreneurial actors - public and private, organizational and individual - have trespassed on the boundaries of formal rules and institutions to create new space of governance that performs important coordinating functions, there is still a dearth of evidence concerning the problems of void-filling during state re-scaling. This workshop seeks to address this gap in the existing scholarship.
Objectives of the Workshop
The workshop is the third event in a series of joint symposiums and workshops. The first symposium on Institutional Voids and the Governance of Developing Economies took place on 16 May 2011. The second workshop on State Restructuring and Rescaling in Comparative Perspective will be held on 3-4 December 2012. The fourth workshop is planned to take place in December 2013.
The current workshop aims to combine the insights and findings from the two previous workshops on institutional voids and state re-scaling respectively. The goal is to look at the crisscrossing between these two frontiers of research so as to generate new research questions and scholarly agenda.
Specifically, the workshop seeks to address the following questions:
1) examination of empirical cases about the process of state restructuring and re-scaling in a globalizing world;
2) identification of institutional voids as a result of scaling up or scaling down during the re-territorization of the national state;
3) analysis of the social, political, coalitional, and economic contexts that facilitate the filling of voids by the creation of alternative forms of governance and the consequences; and
4) reflection upon existing theories of the state, sub-national and supra-national politics, and institutional change, as well as conventional concepts about the national-international division, public-private boundary, and the state-market dichotomy.
Submission Instructions
An abstract of not more than 500 words together with a short CV should be submitted in digital format before 1 November 2012. Please go to our webform to submit your abstract.
Selected abstracted will be notified before 30 November 2012. The full paper should be sent in digital format before 15 April 2013.
The organizer will provide hotel accommodation for two nights (12 and 13 May 2013). Participants are expected to take care of their own travel expenses.

Both older and recent literature on transfer pricing is not unified about the opinion whether optimal transfer price should be equal to marginal cost of supplying company and set by centralized decision (of vertically integrated multibusiness enterprise headquarters) or whether it should be set by negotiation or even set on level of market (arms-length) price. Those, who argue for setting transfer price by negotiation or at the market price base their arguments on market imperfections like information asymmetry, motivation of managers, et cetera. This paper deals inter alia with problem of methodology transfer pricing mathematical modelling. We prove that optimal transfer price should be equal to average cost of the supplying division plus part (or whole) economic profit of the multibusiness enterprise (hereinafter "MBE"), independent on the market conditions at the market of either intermediate or final product. Setting transfer price on the level of marginal cost is inefficient and would earlier or later lead to loss of MBE's ability to compete its rivals.

If you're a FreshBooks user, you know how simple and easy it is to create and send invoices using FreshBooks. FreshBooks is great for developers too. In addition to providing a comprehensive list of API functions, FreshBooks also implements Webhooks. Webhooks allow developers to configure Freshbooks to call external web services whenever an event occurs within Freshbooks. For instance, if you would like a text (SMS) message sent every time an invoice is created, you can register to have a text messaging web service invoked whenever the "invoice.create" event occurs. You can also use Webhooks to synchronize your FreshBooks data with other systems.
itDuzzit makes using FreshBooks Webhooks easy.
For non-developers, itDuzzit provides pre-built webhooks that send text message notifications from FreshBooks.
For a customized solution, you can easily build your own Webhook service using our visual duzzit editor. Start off using the FreshBooks Webhook template, which contains all the necessary logic to support the Webhook registration process. The editor also gives you drag-and-drop access to over 60 FreshBooks API calls.
Here's a video showing how its done:

Gingrich Returns To Speaking Circuit
Run don't walk. [UPDATED]
Newt Gingrich is back on the speaking circuit, but it's not clear that the presidential campaign has enhanced his value.
The Worldwide Speakers Group is offering Gingrich for speaking events in Washington, D.C. starting at $25,000 per speech, according to a source familiar with his arrangement.
The fees increase from there depending on the location of the event, and Gingrich charges more than $100,000 for speeches in Europe and Asia, the source said.
That puts his speaking fees below James Carville's and Mike Huckabee's, which can be seen here, but Gingrich — who is trying to reassemble his private sector empire after a presidential bid that left it in ruins — may be able to make up on volume what he loses on sticker price.
During the campaign, Gingrich cited his speaking fees as a guarantee of probity.
I did no lobbying of any kind – period," Gingrich said. "I'm going to be really direct, OK? I was charging $60,000 a speech. And the number of speeches was going up, not down. Normally, celebrities leave and they gradually sell fewer speeches every year. We were selling more."UPDATE: Gingrich spokesman RC Hammond said the new rates are not in fact a discount:
Inside the beltway has bounced from $20,000 to $25,000.
Continental U.S. remains at $60,000 a speech.
And, heading abroad is as much as $150,000.
Turns out there is a demand for new ideas, solutions and innovation Newt is booked into the fall.
UPDATE: A source sends on Gingrich's fee schedule, which offers speeches for $50,000 on the East Coast, $60,000 on the West Coast.

Make sure that you put the dad's name on the birth certificate so that the welfare agency makes him pay child support when you collect your check from the county.
That's commendable as long as you're self supporting. But if finances are a problem and you have to go on the public dole, he should be held responsible, not the taxpayers. Health insurance alone is a huge expense and not all employers cover the cost of insuring your family these days, at least not in America they don't.
Best wishes to you Sweetheart!
My mum raised all of us alone and no I never felt like I needed a dad so just make sure the people involved with your kid treat them right... Had a dad in foster care... Believe me was better without one...
yes this has happened to me, my father walked out when I was 7 and he told me he was leaving and why. And you're right this will mess a kid up a bit, but I got over it and grew out of it. He calls every now and then most of time asking me to send him a picture of his grandchildren, saying that he made a mistake in leaving. I told me children they should draw him stick figures when they get time and we may or may not send them. I refused to be like my father and even though it was hard I stayed in my children's life even after the divorce. I have 4 kids all over 19 now (2 boys and 2 girls) all finished highschool and off doing various things and no grandchildren just yet. It's your choice on how you live your life and who you allow in or put out.
My mom left my dad due to him being totally worthless. The man is allergic to work. I'm raising my kids on my own and they're teenagers now. Omg! It's tough I won't lie. But you can do it.

When many Mexican-Americans gather to make tamales, a Christmas tradition unfolds.
Families come together to make this Mexican dish during the holiday season as a way to foster togetherness.
"We are all busy, and this brings us all together for holidays," Rudy Mendez, 59, says of his family's Christmas tamale-making tradition, started 36 years ago by Mendez's late parents, Lillian and Rudy. "There's a certain part of me that thinks I am supposed to do this for my family, and I feel the tradition has to go on."
Mendez's family gathered earlier this month to make a whopping 765 tamales (minus a few dozen eaten during the process).
Tamale parties, called tamalades, are "a wonderful time to get the whole family together," says Maria Elana Rodriguez of Allen Park, Mich., a Mexican cuisine historian and author of "Detroit's Mexicantown." "That's what it's all about."
Rodriguez likened tamale making to a cookie exchange.
"If you want to take tamales home, you've got to help," she says.
Tamales consist of a filling, such as seasoned pork coated with a layer of masa (a dough made of finely ground corn mixed with seasonings), all wrapped in a corn husk.
This is a busy time for tortilla factories and tamalerias that make the masa.
"I will go through at least 3,000-5,000 pounds of corn dough in a matter of two weeks during this time," says Susana Garza-Villarreal, 52, owner of Tamaleria Nuevo Leon in Detroit. "I have people coming ... picking up 85 pounds of corn dough. They come every year, and they have been for nearly 20 years."
For Mendez, this year was the first time the tamale-making took place at his home. He still makes them the old school way � the way his parents taught him to make them.
The dried ancho chiles are seeded and stemmed by hand and cooked in water to soften. The cumino (cumin seed) are ground in a Mexican molcajete � a stone bowl made of volcanic rock (think of a mortar and pestle).
Mendez remembers the process, but also relies on hand-written recipes from his mother. There are several tamale recipes in the copper box that record various years and the amounts of meat and seasoning for each tamalade.
Planning and prepping for the family event started five days before. There were 45 pounds of pork butt to order, as well as bags of dried chili peppers and the masa.
On tamale-making day, family and friends arrived from around Detroit in shifts to make the tamales. Some people have been lending a hand for years. Most of them started out as husk runners, who are responsible for soaking husks. Now they sit and chat, spreading masa on the husks, topping with the meat and rolling.
"It's an awesome time, because we don't see each other as much as we used to," Fronczak says. "It gives us a chance to catch up."
Fronczak says he likes spreading the masa and has a knack for it.
"You work hard but the rewards are great," he says.
The end result: tasty tamales wrapped with love.
"It's handmade and family-made," Mendez says.
>For perfect tamales
Here are some tamale-making tips from the Mendez family's annual tamalade:
*The pork should be cooked until it is so tender that it's easily shredded with a fork. Gabriel (Goldie) Mendez says it should be stringy, not clumpy.
*Make the sauce ahead of time. Rudy Mendez makes the sauce for the pork the day before. The sauce, a blend of ancho chiles and seasoning, is poured over and mixed in with the cooked meat and chilled overnight. "The sauce gives the meat its flavor and color," Mendez says.
*Soak corn husks in warm water for about 20 minutes to make them soft and pliable.
*Spread the masa with care. On the shiny side of the corn husk, which must be patted dry, spread the masa starting about half way down on the husk and working up to the widest point.
The traditional way to spread the masa is to use a butter knife, though one helper, Walt Fronczak, used a putty knife this year with great success. Spread the masa to within about one-half inch of the top edge. If the masa is too thick, the tamale will not cook all the way through. If it is too thin, the tamale will fall apart.
*To add the filling, spread a small amount (about 2 tablespoons) on the masa along one edge. Fold the corn husk over once. Then bring up and fold over the bottom edge so it will tuck in as you continue rolling. Finish rolling to form a neat little package.
Steam the tamales for about 35 minutes.
Serve immediately. Or cool, wrap and freeze.

otherwise, our goal is to protect animals and work to raise their

bankruptcy law, constitutional law, criminal law, environmental law, estate planning,

Butterfly Effect, The
All his life, Evan Treborn (Ashton Kutcher) has had blackouts whenever a traumatic experience happened. Each time he asks what happened, his friends don't want to tell him about it. His mother asks him to keep a diary as that may help against the blackouts but although he follows her request carefully, it doesn't do much.
Several years later, he's in college and it's been seven years since he's had a blackout again. He wants to celebrate this event but when he finds his old diaries back, he starts to read in them. When he reaches a passage near one of the blackouts, he suddenly goes back to the moment he was reading about. When he wakes back up, he's back in his own time but with one small difference: he's got a scar on his body where he burnt himself with a cigarette when he was back in his youth. It becomes clear to him that he can alter history by going back in time. He decides to go back to a moment in time that was a real shock for him and his girlfriend and changes things. However, with one change, a lot of other things change as well and when he returns to the present time, not everything is as good as he would have wanted it to be…
Sound and Vision:
The image contains quite a lot of grain and overall this Blu-ray doesn't really stand its ground when compared to other recent releases, even when looking at other Blu-rays that are transfers from DVD. Things could have been a lot better.
The sound is just as good as we got from the DVD thanks to a very ambient DTS-HD track. However, the Editor's Cut DVD also had a DTS-ES 6.1 track and the difference in minimal.
Ashton Kutcher shows in The Butterfly Effect that he can act and together with a decent supporting cast and a great storyline, we get a fantastic movie experience.
On the technical side, we're quite disappointed as this release doesn't have sparkle-clean image quality and doesn't really manage to do better on the sound part than the DTS-ES track that we got on the Director's Cut DVD. Add to that the complete absense of extras and we can only say that this Blu-ray is a major disappointment overall and doesn't even manage to stand up to the aforementioned DVD.
If you've got the DVD there's no reason to go out and buy this Blu-ray.

"Dumping thousands of convicted criminals in our neighborhoods is reckless and irresponsible," Antonovich said. "It is pathetic to have Justice Stephen Reinhardt -- husband of ACLU Director Ramona Ripston - advance the agenda of the American Criminal Liberties Union and its efforts to decriminalize the criminal justice system."
"This decision undermines local government's ability to provide public safety services and needs to be appealed to the United States Supreme Court," he added.
If the Court's ruling stands, California's 33 prisons, which currently house 150,354 inmates would have to be reduced to 109,763 inmates, resulting in a court-ordered reduction of 40,591 inmates.

Signed Limited-Edition Hall of Fame Induction Photo Cards with Mantle, DiMaggio, and Williams (30)
Starting Bid - $300.00, Sold For - $2,350.00
Please Note: There are only three cards in this set postmarked from Cooperstown (Palmer, Morgan, and Jenkins), not four as originally described in the catalog.
Collector's series of thirty different Hall of Fame player photo cards, each signed by the respective player: Mantle, T. Williams, DiMaggio, Mays, Berra, Musial, Koufax, Stargell, Gehringer, Snider, Appling, Mize, Barlick, Mathews, Banks, Yastrzemski, Kiner, Kaline, Palmer, Morgan, Jenkins, Roberts, Boudreau, Schoendienst, B. Robinson, Feller, Irvin, Spahn, Kell, and Bench. Each card (10 x 8 inches) is printed on cardboard stock and features a high-quality photograph of the player on the left side. The right side prominently displays the date of his Hall of Fame induction as well as many of his career statistics. Along the lower margin it is noted that these cards were manufactured in 1989 by TV Sports Mailbag Inc., of Yorktown Heights, N.Y., and were limited in their distribution to only 1,000 for each player. It is our understanding that in later years the company produced additional player cards in larger quantities, but these early cards issued by the company were produced in very limited numbers. This set has been very much overlooked by collectors and, as intended, they provide an extremely attractive signature forum for the many legendary players featured here, twelve of whom are now deceased. They are perfect for framing or album storage as large signed cards. All of the signatures have been penned in blue Sharpie, with the exception of Gehringer (black Sharpie), and grade "10" with the exception of Bench ("6," bleeding). Four of the cards have been postmarked from Cooperstown on the day corresponding to the respective player's Hall of Fame induction date. Near Mint condition overall. These are very substantial and rarely seen. Total: 30 signed cards. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $300. Estimate $500/$1,000. SOLD FOR $2,350.00
