I will not live in a vegan bubble
The recent PETA campaign, like so many before it, is causing a split in the vegan community, as well as other activist groups. Here at T.O.F.U., we're taking our stand on one side of the line, but we're sad to see that many vegans are on the other side. Read More »

Home Theater Lighting & Automation
Avoid Screen Glare
For general illumination, install deep recessed downlights. A hanging chandelier or pendants will reflect off of your television screen, creating a glare. Wall sconces will form a non-reflective pathway, as long as the fronts are opaque. Similarly, table lamps with opaque shades can be used for tasks, like operating the remote control or eating popcorn.
Where to Place Lights
Recessed lighting is the best for overhead illumination because they will not be directed at the television screen. However, you can get more creative with your accent and task lighting. If you want your home theater to resemble a real movie theater, consider track lighting slightly above the floor and extending around the entire room.
Also, don't forget to install lighting around your home theater system. While you may not want it on during your viewing, it will help you to search through DVDs or connect external cables. Under-cabinet lighting provides the source of light you need, where you need it, without overpowering the space.

From Motley Fool:
As of December 2012, Microsoft had $64.8 billion in net cash, or $7.70 per share. Microsoft is expected to earn $2.85 per share in fiscal year 2013. With the current trading price of $27.55 per share, Microsoft is valued at 7x forward P/E, net of cash. If Microsoft uses half of its earnings to pay preferred dividends with a 5% yield, Microsoft could issue $155 billion, or $18.35 per share in preferred stock face value. With the adjusted EPS of $1.93, the value to common equity would be $13.50 per share. Thus, the total value of Microsoft would be $39.55 per share, a 43.5% upside potential.
Plausible! No matter how you look at msft, trading at these levels, with the amount of cash that it has and the number of innovations, and it is still the leading software company of the world, still controlling most if not all PC's make msft the most valuable and safest investment in the market. Without a doubt!!!!
This stock is the most undervalue and underappreciated stock on the planet. The innovations of Windows 8 that will be a part of every mobile devices and PC's will dominate and make msft King once again. Surface Pro (not Surface but the PRO) is sold out and production is ramped up. As I mentioned before, the Surface RT didn't sell well because it was the first version of its kind. Now the Pro, the second version, is sold out!!! Every touchpad companies are forced to cut down in size and price due to msft's Windows 8 and Surface-- the fear has just begun. College kids are sporting Surface like laptops at airports and campuses-- this is the trend of buying one computer that has everything!
This summer, the Xbox Kinect will revolutionize the gaming industry. NO MORE JOYSTICKS!!!! msft will be $50/shre by summer. Its market capital will be bigger than Aapl.

- Highly Qualified Teacher: According to NCLB, a teacher who has obtained full state teacher certification or has passed the state teacher licensing examination and holds a license to teach in the state. News Flash: They are all Highly Qualified. If they did meet this criteria they would not be teaching.
- Inclusion: The practice of placing students with disabilities in regular classrooms. As far as I can see all regular education rooms are or should be inclusion. There are so many conditions and disabilities that every room should be an Inclusion classroom.
- NCLB (No Child Left Behind): Signed into law by President Bush in 2002, No Child Left Behind sets performance guidelines for all schools and also stipulates what must be included in accountability reports to parents. Maybe it is me, do we need a law that says we will not leave children behind? Isn't our goal not to leave children behind? If this law went away tomorrow, would educators begin picking which children we would "Leave Behind" and which ones we "Would Not Leave Behind?"
- Whole Language: A teaching method that focuses on reading for meaning in context. It also doesn't teach children how to read. An interesting concept and strategies any teacher can use, but completely ineffective.
- Bullying : Repeated negative behavior that a person uses to take advantage of someone with less power. The problem is many parents call every negative behavior "bullying." I have no issue addressing any inappropriate behavior but bullying is long term negative behavior that is repeated. If a child makes a face on a bus once to another student that is probably not bullying.
- Scaffolding: An instructional technique in which the teacher breaks a complex task into smaller tasks and supports students as they learn, and then gradually shifts responsibility for learning to the students. I have no problem with this technique, except no one ever seems to know what it means or how to use it correctly in a sentence. Sometimes it is a noun and sometimes it is a verb. You just never know.
- Syllabication: The act of breaking big words up into smaller parts so they can be pronounced and spelled more easily. A fancy way of sounding out words one part at a time.
- Phonological Awareness: Refers to an individual's awareness of the phonological structure, or sound structure, of spoken words. Basically does the child know his/her letter sounds.
- Pedagogy: The study of being a teacher or the process of teaching. The term generally refers to strategies of instruction, or a style of instruction. So really pedagogy is just teaching.
- Instructional Leadership: Principal's role in setting clear goals, allocating resources to instruction, managing the curriculum, monitoring lesson plans, and evaluating teachers. The instructional leader makes instructional quality the top priority of the school and attempts to bring that vision to realization. The reason why I added this last one is that every principal wants to be an instructional leader. The problem is that all the regulations limit an principal's opportunity to really lead in this way. Finally, a principal can be the best instructional leader in the world but poor management or administrative practices will get an instructional leader fired every time.
I have been in Elementary Education for over fifteen years. In that time I have been a teacher of many grades and a principal of three elementary schools in Rhode Island. In these 15 years I have had thousands of conversations with teachers and parents about children and how they learn. I feel like I have helped a lot of people in this short time period. I decided to create this Blog as a forum for these kinds of conversations.

Washington Death with Dignity ballot initiative
Washington state's Death with Dignity ballot measure is taking over the airwaves. As you can imagine, the advertisements are more macabre than typical political
Washington state's Death with Dignity ballot measure is taking over the airwaves. As you can imagine, the advertisements are more macabre than typical political fare. Here are some ads and media against the initiative. Here are some in favor of the initiative.
As a political observer, I find the campaigns on both sides fascinating. Who are the voters targeted by the ads? Are there true "undecideds"? It strikes me as the sort of deeply personal issue about which most people would have an immediate, almost innate response; is this more a matter of "rolling out the base" on the respective sides of the issue?
These make for interesting case studies in delicate politics. The "arguments" being used and how each side "sells" its take on the initiative are pretty much the same as other political ads, e.g., they emphasize certain policy particulars, raise "the other side lied about..." issues, and lay out hypothetical good or bad outcomes that might have happened under the law or did happen under similar laws elsewhere. That said, these ads do seem more somber, perhaps even more respectful of the other side, than do most political ads.
Perhaps that's just me. Or maybe it owes to the fact that many of the stars of the ads are discussing deceased loved ones--or in some cases are themselves now deceased. I really can't tell: do the ads exhibit more decency than other ads, or does the viewer view them through a lens of decency due to the subject matter?

Pilgrims Nook is an easy drive away from the city of Canterbury and the picturesque and historical towns of Sandwich, Dover and Deal.
In Canterbury, why not visit the Cathedral or the beautiful ruins of Saint Augustine's monastery, or have Geoffrey Chaucer's famous Canterbury Tales brought to life for you at the Canterbury Tales experience? River Boat and ghost tours are also available to learn about the cities unique history. There is even a museum dedicated to Bagpuss and Rupert Bear. Canterbury also is a fantastic shopping destination with everything from vintage shops to high end department stores, and high high street and the area around the Cathedral boast almost every single type of restaurant you could think of.
Sandwich is a lovely little historic town with a quayside and lots of lovely little independent restaurants serving everything from Greek, to Thai to Italian food - it is the perfect distance from Pilgrims Nook to pop over to for a lovely dinner.
Dover is home to the famous White Cliffs which are wonderful to walk over, and also house preserved Second World War tunnels that are open to visitors as well as Dover castle which boasts views across to France on a clear day. Deal is home to Deal castle and the beautiful Walmer seafront and it's famous fish and chip shops and seafood restaurants. Alternatively why not hop on a cross channel ferry or the Channel Tunnel and head over to France for a day?

I would send Lipnitskaja and Tuktamysheva. Lipnitskaya can medal in an individual event, she MUST be on the team(if not, i will be so mad at RusFed). Tuktamysheva on the other hand would be a great part of a team event. Lipnitskaja can do short and then Liza can do a great FS. As for Sotnikova, she can bomb both SP and FS, so it is risky...
Fantastic GP debut for Pogorilaya. Julia should have her ticket stamped at this point, but Pogo certainly gave reason for Sotnikova and Tuktamysheva to start getting nervous. Although Sotnikova has a better shot still unless Pogo proves consistency.
That said, this isn't the first time I'm saying that IF Anna keeps this up, and if neither Liza nor Adelina can pull it together, she is both a contender and in fact should be granted the 2nd spot.
Anna has medalled at nearly every international event (if not every one-I could have missed some Senior B or other) that she has attended since she was a late addition to last year's Russian junior team.
Last year:
3rd Zagreb JGP (Her 2 JGPs were one week apart)
1st Chemnitz JGP
3rd JGPF
3rd World Juniors
This year:
1st CoC
In the midst of all that, she went through her growth spurt and still managed to keep her jumps.
She has a relatively weak field at TEB, and it's entirely possible she will make the GPF.
If she makes the GPF, I would not be at all surprised to see her PCS rise, particularly if she doesn't finish dead last there.
That's been the way PCS has worked in the past.
Look at the jump content from kostner and it's mind boggling sotnikova lost to her in the fs! Sotnikova messed up both flips, had no three jump combo because for some bizarre reason the 3 jump combo is after a flip, and didn't Do a 3/3 and had really low levels. She was beyond bad in her fs and was rescued by her sp. Russian nationals will be filled with eligible girls with great content in their fs. Because Adelina just has the worst fs deisgn of any current skater I wouldn't be surprised if she placed third at euros of Russians there. Her best hope involves lizas sp problems and judges/fed not giving pogorilaya the scores. The self inflicted wounds by sotnikova are so disturbing! How can a skater not stop doing Something That costs her over and over and over? She should have won coc easy but her fs had 2 flips! If her coaches won't change That she needs to take charge and when she does a fs do other jumps! Unless she's committed to the two flips and failure herself!
Yes, almost anything would be better than 2 flips, and particularly hanging the 3 jump combo on one of them
I think Anna is third best right now. I have Liza second. I think Liza looks more mature on the ice then Anna. Anna still looks like a junior. But if Liza can't get her SP together she will lose her spot for sure. But the future looks bright for Russia on the ladies side.
Let's face it this was the weakest GP in terms of competition for the Ladies event. Anna would have been off the podium at SC for instance. But it's going to be brutal for those 2 spots for the Russian girls.
Not saying it doesn't happen. But I would think that the judges and officials would make a point of standing on their own independence and integrity.
I prefer Elizaveta to Adelina. I think Elizaveta's problems are mental. She has some sort of mental block about the SP, because there is no reason for her to do as poorly as she does, given her fabulous long programs and flawless jump technique. On the other hand, Adelina's problems are due to poor jump technique. Her technique on her flutz, flip and axel is awful. She's never going to be able to get through a long program with her flawed jump technique, whereas Liza has the potential to skate better short programs if she gets over her mental block.

Colo. Legislature OKs expansion of firearms checks
DENVER -- A landmark expansion of background checks on firearm purchases was approved Friday by lawmakers in Colorado, a politically moderate state that was the site of 2012's mass shooting at a suburban Denver movie theater.
The bill previously passed the state Senate and now heads to Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, who is expected to sign it into law within two weeks.
Earlier this week, Colorado lawmakers approved a 15-round limit on ammunition magazines. It is also awaiting the expected approval of the governor.
The bill passed Friday expands cases when a $10 criminal background check would be required to legally transfer a gun. Republicans have opposed the bill, calling it an undue burden on law-abiding gun owners.
"We know for a fact that whatever law we pass, criminals won't care," said Republican Rep. Jerry Sonnenberg.
Colorado is the first state outside the East Coast to significantly ratchet back gun rights after the theater and school shootings. Colorado's gun debate was being watched closely because it's considered a swing state with both a gun-loving frontier past and an unfortunate history of mass shootings, including the 1999 Columbine High School attack.
"Are we going to stop all criminals from getting guns? No," said Democratic Rep. Beth McCann, a sponsor of the background checks bill. "But are we are going to put a barrier there, make it more difficult for them? Yes."
The move to expand background checks would be one of the most sweeping responses by Colorado to the 2012 shootings at the theater in Aurora, Colo., and at the elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
Expanded checks have been a top priority for Hickenlooper, who called for the proposal during his State of the State address in January.

A McLoud homeowner shot an intruder early Thursday morning, according to deputies.
The man called authorities saying he caught a burglar breaking into his home and shot him. The intruder fled, but later went to a hospital and had to undergo surgery.
He was in the intensive care unit Thursday night. Investigators said they don't expect the homeowner to be charged.

GRAND RAPIDS -- At least three people were injured Thursday night when a car rolled over on the East Beltline near Michigan and Fulton streets, pinning one person under the vehicle, according to police dispatch traffic.
One of those injured was a 20-year-old woman, who suffered hip and shoulder injuries when she was partially ejected from a vehicle, and it rolled on top of her.
She was conscious and talking to rescue workers at the scene, according to dispatch traffic. She was taken to Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital.
At least two other people were injured in the 11:15 p.m. crash -- a 22-year-old man, and a young woman who had two of her fingers nearly amputated in the accident, according to dispatch reports.

Worth of CrossFit
Back home I had a personal trainer. He was awesome. We'd do some circuit moves and some fight-style boxing. The gym membership was only 20$ a month at one of those Stuff-As-Many-Smelly-Teenagers-Who-Grunt-And-Stare-At-Themselves cheap gyms. But it had decent equipment and best of all, it had my trainer.
I didn't even need to use the gym if I had him there. And truth be told, as long as my bill was paid no one cared whether I was there or not, much like the many other gyms I had ever belonged to – from the cheap ones to the all-women ones to the big fancy ones.
But for me – and I get that not everyone is like this – having a trainer is an integral part of any fitness routine I plan on keeping. I love to walk and bike and play outside. But I suck at holding myself accountable on pushing myself through additional training. Workout videos such as P90 or 30-Day Shred work for some people who 1) can't afford a trainer and 2) can get the motivation and maintain the discipline needed to stay focused.
I can't.
And I stopped trying to force myself to try and stuck with what worked – my trainer. I got a pretty sweet deal on a package deal around the holidays and bought 25 sessions up front for an average price of 30$ a session. I met with him 2-3 times a week and he kept me on track, kept me pushing my body harder than I would have pushed it myself and made the workouts fun and less boring.
And then we moved from NJ to Iowa in May. I wasn't able to find a gym here I liked and since we have a pretty decent one in our apartment complex, I hated the thought of spending more on a different gym to try out trainer that might suck for a ton of money.
I tried kickboxing and had a pretty crappy experience.
And then reading through the Primal Blueprint forums and hearing good things from a lot of people, I decided to see if there was a CrossFit affiliate in my area. There was! Three lights away! I called and scheduled an intro session for yesterday morning.
For those of you who don't know what CrossFit is, here's the quick and dirty explanation becasue quite frankly, their explanation is scary: "CrossFit is a strength and conditioning fitness methodology that promotes broad and general overall physical fitness. CrossFit combines weightlifting, sprinting, and gymnastics" (from Wikipedia)
It's basically a circuit of intense strength training that takes only 15-25 minutes (not including the warmup and the stretching afterward). It's hard, I ain't gonna lie. But it's the best bang for your buck timewise and they do help you cater your training to your fitness level in the beginning. At least they should. And if they don't, they're jerks and find another affiliate.
I walked in yesterday and this chirpy cute little thing with a pixie haircut came up and introduced herself and immediately after that said, "Okay, this is what we're gonna do. Run 400m. Then body rows, pushups, and deep squats in 3 circuits of declining reps 21/15/9, and then another 400m run. Take a break if you need but you can do this. Ready, Go!"
There was no sitting down and me explaining "why I wanted to be fit." There was no judgement on my size or my inability to do any task I was given. There were no sales pictches. No fancy packets. There was just about 8 other people in their doing theird Workout of the Day (WOD) cheering for each other, high-fiving.
So I ran my 400 m. Then I died. Then I did the body rows. Then I died. Then I did the Pushups. And died. You get the point. I died a lot. And I took a lot of short breaks to catch my breath or get some water. And all the while Tinkerbell was there with me cheering me on. But I did it. In 19:08.
There are eight more "elemental" sessions, where I will do each one to learn all of the correct moves and workouts directly with one-on-one help. Then at the end of those elements classes, I repeat Day 1 to note my progress and improved time. After I "graduate" from those, I move onto regular WODs with the people who have signed up for that time slot. There are typically 8-10 people in each "class" and around 2-3 trainers walking around, helping, spotting, encouraging, correcting.
I handed over my credit card and signed up left because I know this is what I need. Short, intense training with people who will motivate me. People who will help me hold myself accountable and fit into my life with little time involvement rather than the 2 hours a day I used to spend in the gym 8 years ago.
For a lot of people, the cost puts them off. And I get it. I DO. But I'd like to offer this analysis.
Typical Gym Membership: Average $45 dollars a month
Average Personal Training Sessions: $40 a session (usually 30-minutes)
Average time most people feel they need to spend at the gym getting a workout: 1.5 hr
If you, on average, go to the gym 4 days a week and see a trainer even once a week, your monthly expenditure will be $205 dollars and 24 hours minimum a month. If you see a trainer three times a week like I did, that's $480 a month.
My CrossFit Affiliate:
Total Membership: $125 a month. Unlimited classes. Training, by definition, is a part of the deal.
Average time per WOD: 15-20 minutes.
Total time spend in gym per month: 8-10 hours.
And okay, you're now going to tell me that you don't need a trainer – you can't afford one. So you go to your regular gym and do the best you can for $45 a month. Say you have a coffee every day from Starbucks. At $2.75 a cup of coffee a day on your way to work, you could have an extra $55 a month in your pocket (and that's only M-F). Say you get lunch out once a week with your co-workers, 15$ average. That's 60$ a month.
Instead of paying for your Average Gym and not getting any support, any camaraderie, or lazing your way through workouts where you don't push yourself, you could cut out your morning coffee and weekly lunches and MAKE the money.
Now, I am not a CrossFit cult junkie. I'm not trying to tell you to quit your gym and join a XF gym. I get that it's a lot of money. I do. But I don't want to hear the excuse, "I really want to but it's too expensive," because if you REALLY wanted to, chances are you could. And if you choose to spend your money on that Starbucks or those lunches or whatever other luxury you've chosen, than that's ONE HUNDRED PERCENT okay. It really is.
But it's also not an insane concept to spend $125 on something that will get my ass out of the house, working hard with people who give a damn, and home all within the hour. If it makes me go – if it makes me push myself – than it's way worth more than the $50 I could spend per month in a contracted Big Named Gym where they don't even know my name and DREAD going.
I also get that some people have the motivation and discipline to do the WODs at home. I don't. I work from home all week. I like seeing people. I like pushing myself next to a chick half my size I know could kick my ass. It makes me feel strong and proud.
I look forward to starting this new adventure and seeing what it's going to do to my already-changing body. I can't wait to go back.
You know, once I can move again.
More Advil, please.

I'd like to express how saddened I am at the way the new changes being made at the YMCA by its new management, specifically the abrupt layoff of two of its finest staff members, Lori and Lisa.
These two women were an integral part of what made the YMCA all about: "building healthy families, healthy kids, and healthy communities."
It is impossible to replace people who have invested nearly two decades of their lives into this organization, going above and beyond the call of duty, which made it a uniquely personal community of Santa Clarita. In essence it gave a small-town feel to this ever-growing city.
No, you can't replace those kinds of people and the unique environment they brought with them. What is replaceable are those who use this unique organization for their own career advantage.

The eggs in your photo showing breakfast look fantastic. Your photos look like the meals I put together!
Hi sugar free life, I've just read through your journal and wanted to say well done.
Some of your recipes combinations are things I wouldn't have thought of... I'm certainly going to give your halva alternative a go :-)
One suggestion I have is to maybe stop weighing yourself daily. My worry is that being a slave to the scales causes undue stress and upset when your weight moves in the wrong direction. Do you think you could weigh weekly or fortnightly instead?
Just a thought :-)

Hello Sugarfreelife,
Have just had a read through your journal. You're doing great! I'm going to subscribe right now in the hope of seeing more yummy food pictures and cute kitten pictures (don't know which are better!).
Also love L Cohen and, funny coincidence, used to have the same Sandman quote in my email sig years ago (think it's Ovid originally?)
So I'll be reading and cheering you on.
Top quality kittens!
I fell in love with Neil Gaiman's work as a teenager although was probably more in love with Morpheus than with his creator (although clearly there are similarities...). Haven't read his new novel yet. Do you like China Mieville? I only started reading his stuff last year but some of it reminds me of Gaiman although perhaps less whimsical (for better or worse).
Sorry to hear it was a tough weekend. Hope you sleep better tonight. Looking forward to hearing how ADF goes for you. What's your plan calories-wise?
I had never had mascarpone cheese before reading your journal. I purchased some the other day - just to see what the fuss was about. Damn you
Hey, congratulations on the new low!
Jealous of your peaches from your neighbour's garden (were they gifts or did you "forage"? ). If I ever have my own house with a garden will be sure to have fruit trees and bushes.
Hey if there's a food worth temporarily forgetting your diet for, in my book it would definitely be home-made ice cream! At least you'll be able to see what they put in it. When we were camping a while ago we stumbled across a farm shop selling their home made ice cream. SO good. And you could see the cows grazing the field behind the shop.
No questions asked. Welcome back!

For nearly two decades, the Kiawah Island Triathlon has offered a goal for people from newbies to seasoned veterans to train for a challenging event at the end of the summer.
Additionally, the Olympic-distance event, featuring a 1.5K swim, 45K bike and 10K run, was the only triathlon in the area other than the Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series. It was the only recent event to feature an ocean swim.
But it appears that the Kiawah triathlon, held 19 times in total and 17 times consecutively, is history unless the organizer can work out a deal with officials inside the gates of Kiawah Island.
The issue is multifaceted, involving complaints about traffic by Kiawah Island residents and a race director staging a triathlon on private land leased to a public entity. It has caused some local weekend warriors to jump to conclusions, complain and generate rumors.
The email
Recently, triathlon race director Mike Loggins and Patt Loggins emailed past participants, saying that the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission "decided they no longer will allow us to hold the event at Beachwalker (County) Park."
"They (PRC officials) have cited safety concerns, inconveniencing their beachgoers on that day, and that Race Director Mike Loggins has been harsh to their park staff," the email stated, adding multiple editorial comments in parentheses. "In the end, the loser is you, the triathlete, and the (beneficiary) Low Country Little League."
The Logginses, who own The Extra Mile running shop and organize races through Logman Racing, urged that any opinions be directed via email to Donna Gueldner, the superintendent of PRC's Park & Recreation Services.
The response
As of last Thursday, Gueldner had received 29 emails from people, and she described the general tone of those emails as one of "disappointment."
"Quite a few (of them) think that the event is a PRC event and suggest that if the problem is the race director that we should hire someone else. ... The others say that it is well-organized and managed event and sing Mike Loggins' praises."
She added out-of-town participants asked why an event would be canceled that brings revenue to Kiawah's lodging and restaurants, "which makes me think they believe we (the commission) are Kiawah."
Gueldner's response to the emails was a form letter, which didn't make some senders happy, saying the decision was a "difficult one" and that the "increasing demands of the race have exceeded the capabilities of the park and the park's staff."
"We hope that the race directors are able to continue the event at a new location that is more suited to the race's needs," the email said, adding that it is not in the interests of PRC to "deprive local athletes to compete and commune in a fun, healthy event."
Traffic & Kiawah
Commission Executive Director Tom O'Rourke, who is a triathlete and runner himself and supportive of participant endurance sports, rarely gets into the nitty-gritty of operational issues such as this one. But he wanted to weigh in on it because PRC has been an advocate for physical fitness.
First, O'Rourke underscored that the commission did not cancel the event. After all, the triathlon is not PRC's to cancel.
Second, O'Rourke said the problem lies in the fact that the PRC does not own Beachwalker County Park, which has been nationally heralded as one of best beaches in the United States. Beachwalker, in fact, is the only park property that the commission leases, a 100-year arrangement that dates back to the original development of Kiawah Island.
"Over 30 years ago when the developers from Kuwait came to County Council to get their Development Agreement passed, the council told them they had to set some place aside for the public to gain access to the beach. A lease agreement was drawn up with very strict guidelines ... (and) stated that we will operate a 120-parking space parking lot and path to the beach."
O'Rourke says the closing of Folly Beach County Park in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene shifted a significant amount of beach traffic to Kiawah's Beachwalker in the past year, "causing a parking nightmare at Beachwalker." When the lot filled up, cars proceeded to the private gate at Kiawah or parked on the right of way.
That didn't make Kiawah residents happy.
A new venue?
O'Rourke says parking for the triathlon has been an issue for years, but when it was held this year, even in the early daylight hours of Sept. 15, it was the straw that broke the camel's back.
"The cars lined up later in the morning, and we got hammered (with complaints)," says O'Rourke. "When we go over the parking limit, they don't call Mike Loggins. They call us."
O'Rourke adds that keeping the triathlon, which draws 200-250 people once a year, wasn't a fight PRC was ready to put up. Also, since Kiawah Island demonstrated its capability to park thousands of cars for the PGA Championship, it certainly could park hundreds for a triathlon.
Last Thursday, Loggins had yet to contact anyone at Kiawah about hosting the event, but planned to call Kiawah Development Partners CEO Buddy Darby.
Meanwhile, Loggins characterizes the parking and traffic issue as "an excuse" to terminate the triathlon and that he has met every demand of the commission for years, such as lowering the registrant cap from 400 to 300 and moving the start time from 8 a.m. to 7:30 a.m.
For those distressed over the potential end of an event, I view this as simply growing pains of ever-more popular endurance sports events. I've seen events come and go, and while some hold a certain level of tradition, the void will be filled. There's simply too much demand, and money to be made. Stay tuned.

UNFCCC Publishes Documents on Bunker Fuels, GEF and GCF
10 November 2013: The UNFCCC has released documents for consideration during the Warsaw Climate Change Conference, which address information on bunker fuels, the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF). These topics will be considered under the agenda of different bodies during the upcoming days.
The document with information relevant to emissions from fuel used for international aviation and maritime transport (FCCC/SBSTA/2013/MISC.20) contains reports submitted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO). ICAO's report on the 38th Session of its Assembly indicates that the Assembly reaffirmed the collective global aspirational goals for the sector's CO2 emissions reductions, and agreed on a strategy to progress all elements of a basket of mitigation measures, namely aircraft technology, operational improvements, sustainable alternative fuels and market-based measures (MBMs). The Assembly agreed to develop a global MBM scheme for international aviation and urged that ICAO and its Member States express concern, through the UNFCCC process, on the potential disproportionate use of international aviation as a source for the mobilization of revenue for climate finance to the other sectors.
The IMO's Marine Environment Protection Committee report indicates that the issue to address greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from ships engaged in international trade was address during its 65th session, which addressed the importance of enhancing energy efficiency and reducing fuel consumption with subsequent reductions of CO2 emissions and other pollutants emitted to air from ships. Possible measures discussed include the use of a phased approach to implementation, with the focus of initial work being on data collection, as a basis for future technical work.
The addendum to the report of the GEF (FCCC/CP/2013/3/Add.2) contains the table on the status of national communications from non-Annex I Parties and the status of resources approved by the GEF Secretariat for non-Annex I Parties for the preparation of biennial update reports (BURs).
The report of the GCF (FCCC/CP/2013/6) contains information on the activities organized by the Fund, membership and adopted decisions, among other things. It was submitted for consideration by the UNFCCC COP, in accordance with decision 3/CP.17, which approved the GCF's governing instrument.

High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy
Brachytherapy or implant therapy is a form of radiotherapy in which small, encapsulated radioactive sources are placed directly into or near a tumor. "Brachy" is a Greek prefix meaning short. This refers to the fact that the treatment distance between the source and the tumor is very small. The history of brachytherapy goes back more than 100 years. At the turn of the century a Dr. Henri Danols of St. Louis Hospital in Paris used radium supplied by Marie and Pierre Curie to treat a cancer patient.
In order to appreciate the benefits of brachytherapy it is important to understand that successful radiotherapy is dependent on the ability to deliver as much radiation dose as possible to a cancer and as little as possible to normal tissues. A higher radiation dose will increase the chance of eradicating a tumor while reducing the dose to healthy organs will lower side effects. This process of increasing the tumor dose and reducing normal tissue dose is called conformal radiation therapy. Thus over the years there has been a much interest in making radiotherapy as conformal as possible.
By its nature, brachytherapy is inherently a more conformal type of treatment than external beam radiotherapy. External beam radiotherapy refers to x-ray therapy delivered by an accelerator. X-rays delivered by an accelerator must first pass through the patient body to reach the tumor. Thus the tumor is treated outside-in. However, in brachytherapy the patient is treated inside-out. The x-rays from the radioactive source are produced first inside the tumor and the tissues away from the tumor only receive the exit dose, which is signicantly less than the entrance dose.
However, while brachytherapy possessed some significant advantages there were also some disadvantages that prevented its wide spread use. Principle among the disadvantages was the fact that patients had to be admitted to the hospital for anywhere from 24 to 72 hours for treatment. This was because the sources used for brachytherapy contained small amounts of radioactivity. Hence, it took a significant amount of time to deliver the prescribed dose and thus the hospital admittance. This type of therapy is referred to as low-dose rate brachytherapy or LDR.
This has changed with the development of high-dose rate or HDR brachytherpy. In HDR the low activity source has been replaced with a high activity Iridium-192 source. The Iridium source is approximately 1000 times stronger than the older sources. However, the strength of the source also makes it hazardous for staff to handle. In order to deliver the Iridium source for treatment safely the HDR afterloader was developed. The afterloader is a device about the size and shape of a tall hydrant. The Iridium source, which is only about the size of a grass seed, is housed in a tungsten safe inside the afterloader when not in use. The afterloader is connected to a control unit and computer outside the treatment room via cables.
Before treatment an applicator is placed into or near a tumor. The applicator is typically a piece of plastic or metal with a hollow central channel. For example the applicator used in the treatment of endometrial cancer is a piece of plastic and is cylindrical in shape. After the applicator is placed in the patient it is attached to the afterloader via a guide tube or catheter. During treatment the radioactive source is driven remotely under computer control from the safe to the applicator. During this time staff use a television camera and monitor to observe the patient.
Because the x-ray fluence or output is so much higher with HDR the treatment takes only 10 to 20 minutes. Thus there is no need to admit a patient and the patient can be treated on an outpatient basis. Also since the treatment is much quicker it is a more comfortable procedure for the patient and there is less chance that the applicator will move during treatment and hence change the delivered dose. Thus you can be more confident that your delivered dose is the same as your planned dose. Furthermore, with the use of powerful planning computers it is possible to program an almost infinite number of different dwell positions or source locations and delivery times in an applicator. This allows the oncologist to optimize dose delivery or tailor the dose delivered for each particular patient to a degree not possible with LDR treatment.

The seas raged around us. Cold wind cut through our clothes and brought stinging tears to our eyes. We held to the rigging, knowing if we fell in, we were doomed. Determined, we pressed on in search of the treasure. Nothing would get in our way.
Leaping from the safety of our ship, we landed on the planking, skittering quickly so as not to lose our balance. At the end of the dock, we traverse the obstacles and slid quietly past the building. Nearing the corner, we spied our quarry, the golden ball.
"Arggghh!", our pirate band screamed, rushing from cover with our swords drawn. Finally, the ball resting in our hands, we danced our pirate jig in celebration...until someone kicked the golden ball over the fence of the playground.
No one really cared, because now we had to sneak back passed the teachers perched on the bench to get to our ship. Off on another adventure...

Wild boar meat was the likely cause of 9 trichinellosis cases diagnosed last year in Cook County, Illinois.
Trichinellosis is a parasitic infection caused by eating undercooked infected meat. The Illinois patients had eaten wild boar and deer meat from animals they hunted at a Missouri ranch in January 2013. Both kinds of meat were ground together into sausage and shared among 2 families. Trichinella spiralis larvae were identified in the sausage but not in the deer meat, implicating the boar meat (Greene YG et al. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2014;63[20]:451).

It's a form of therapy, technically a massage therapy technique, that apparently is worth multiple, relatively long drives in your car.
"I had Achilles tendinitis for two years," says Dr. Hugh Myrick, a local triathlete who competes on a state level. "I tried everything to get rid of it — typical rehab, NSAIDs (nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs), icing, stretching, rest — and nothing really worked."
Then he heard some triathletes in Columbia extolling Active Release Techniques, commonly known as ART.
Desperate for relief, Myrick decided to make his first trek to the capital city three years ago to see the only practitioner in the state at the time, Dr. Charles Renick. Within four sessions, Myrick's tendinitis was gone.
While he still seeks out rehab and massage to treat and prevent injuries, Myrick says the patented technique has become an important augmentation to staying healthy.
"There are a lot of things in medicine that demand a multidisciplinary approach," says the associate professor of psychiatry at the Medical University of South Carolina. "Sometimes you have to put all those things together to fix a problem."
ART was developed in 1988 by Dr. Michael Leahy, a chiropractor. While nearly 6,000 practitioners are certified to do it, few have made their way to South Carolina. Now, locals with chronic injuries have to drive only to Summerville to get relief for problems including plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica and De Quervain's tenosynovitis.
Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson set up shop on Main Street nearly 18 months ago. The 30-year-old Buffalo, N.Y., native moved here for the same reason most do — better weather — and found that he was filling a health care void. He's looking to open a satellite office closer to Charleston.
Like many practitioners, Jimerson is a chiropractor by training and trade. While in school, he heard about other chiropractic students using ART on patients and was astounded by the success rate. He started studying the technique and using it at the Veterans Administration hospital in Buffalo. While working at a chiropractic office near Buffalo, he started seeing 90 patients a day.
"I even had members of the (Buffalo) Bills and Sabres showing up at the door," says Jimerson.
ART is a soft-tissue massage technique that focuses on breaking up scar tissue, or adhesions, that build up on muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and/or nerves as a result of repetitive use or an injury. Scar tissue shortens muscles, increases tension on tendons and traps nerves, all of which can reduce range of motion and cause pain.
"It becomes a snowball effect," says Jimerson, noting that inflexibility and pain result in the body overcompensating in other ways that compromise good biomechanics. That results in reduced blood flow to the injured area, further exacerbating the problem by "starving" it of restorative nutrients.
Jimerson says he first asks patients about their injuries and backgrounds, if they have desk jobs and what activities they participate in. Then he proceeds to massage muscles that may not be in the injured area but may be part of the cause of the problems. For example, plantar fasciitis manifests itself with extreme foot pain, typically in the heel, but Jimerson may start looking for scar tissue in the individual muscle groups of the calf.
"I can physically feel the adhesions with my hands and work to break them up," he says.
Practitioners may use chiropractic adjustments as part of the therapy as well as prescribe certain exercises and stretches to restore strength, stability and flexibility to the affected area.
"ART is not the be-all, end-all solution to the problem," says Jimerson.
He adds that restoring pain-free range of motion is the goal, but that even people who are extremely flexible, including yoga instructors, have come to him for relief.
What is ART?
Active Release Techniques is a patented massage technique that focuses on the soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves) damaged by overuse or injury, which often results in pulls, tears and hypoxia, or not getting enough oxygen.Each of these factors can cause your body to produce tough, dense scar tissue in the affected area. That binds up and ties down tissues that need to move freely. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker, tension on tendons causes tendinitis, and nerves can become trapped. This can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength and pain.Every ART session is actually a combination of examination and treatment. The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the various soft tissues. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements, including 500 specific moves, that are unique to ART. They allow providers to identify and correct the specific problems that are affecting each individual patient.

If someone steals my PC, and actually cracks my passphrase, I'll have
to admit they've *earned* the data on my PC.

I hope not. I don't want anyone to have a master key to my key.
Did I miss something basic here? Is the remedy to this situation as
simple as immediately creating a revocation certificate (when one
creates a key), backing it up to floppy or CD or USB device or
whatever, then storing the backup in an offsite place (like a Safety
Deposit box)?

Every family has one, a historian of sorts. It's the person who chronicles all family events. It's the person who keeps everyone informed and connected. This person sends us e-mails, videos and blogs that show what the kids are up to and all their sweet milestones.
In my family, that person is my sister-in-law, Coreen. But her latest e-mail had nothing to do with the quirkiest sentence my nephew said the other day or my niece's new outfit. It was a challenge to save money.
As a consumer reporter, I feel compelled to pass on that challenge to you. It's called the 52-week money challenge and it's getting a lot of likes on Facebook. The concept is simple. Each week, you deposit the number of that week into a savings plan. For example, the first week of 2013, you would deposit $1; the second week, $2; and so on and so on. By the end of the year, you will have saved close to $1,400.
These days, financial experts advise people to save six months to a year of their annual income. That sounds like a tall order, but it's a necessary one in this rocky economy.
Actually, saving that amount can be overwhelming for a lot of Americans who don't by nature save money for the future. The 52-week savings plan is less intimidating and seems fairly easy to do. Besides, everyone loves a challenge, right?
My husband and I have already agreed to begin the 52-week challenge, and many others have promised to join the cause on social media. Hopefully, it will at least get you thinking about savings, and maybe you'll be up for the challenge.
Here are some other savings tips you might want to consider, courtesy of Mike Sullivan, chief education and operations officer of non-profit credit-counseling agency Take Charge America:
— When recording expenditures in your check register, round up to the next whole dollar (i.e. $ 42.55 gets entered as $43, and you have 45 cents extra). When you accumulate $50, move it to your savings account. Also, it is easier to balance your checkbook.
— Never spend change. Each day put the coins in a jar. When the jar is full, wrap the coins and deposit them in your savings account. Save more by wrapping them yourself or find a financial institution that does it for free. Do not use a pay machine at the grocery store.
— Get a cash-back credit card and deposit the cash into a savings account.
— Always consider half of all "extra money" as savings. Half of all tax refunds, gifts, payouts from class-action lawsuits, etc., should be deposited into a savings account.
— Most important: Always have something direct deposited into a savings account from your paycheck, even if it is only $5 a payday.

Silent Hill Shattered Memories
(Wii, PS2, PSP )
A creepy story marred by a subpar endingBy Patrick Atwell Score:
Feb 21, 2010 7:18PM PST
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is my first game in the series, and for the most part I was quite impressed. The story concerns Harry Mason, a man who survives a car crash only to realize he cannot find his daughter, Cheryl. Stuck in the town of Silent Hill during the middle of a terrible snowstorm and unsure of where to go, Harry's search is complicated by seemingly supernatural phenomena.
The town is incredibly creepy and perfect for a horror game; it is almost completely dark and deserted, with very few people to be found. All the necessary horror locations are here – an isolated cabin in the spooky woods, a run-down hospital, an empty high school, and plenty of long corridors.
As I explored the town, plenty of creepy little details kept me interested and on edge. It seems that every place you visit has a disturbing past, and one game mechanic actually lets you receive messages from the past, detailing these morbid events. As you continue on your search, it's your job to figure out which of these events are relevant to the main story and which are simply creepy diversions.
The psychology portion of the game, in which it adapts to the player, is interesting. I did see it working, but it wasn't a huge make-or-break deal for me. More noticeable (and frustrating) are the nightmare sequences. I was often forced to double back through an entire level attempting to avoid the creatures, which can not be fought or killed. The annoying repetition here actually ruined my sense of immersion a few times – instead of feeling like I was lost in a spooky haunted town, I just felt like I was playing a game that had gotten a bit too aggravating.
The main reason for the relatively low score, however, is the ending. Obviously, there are multiple endings, but in this case every ending shares a major revelation – one of those Shyamalan-style twists meant to change the way you think of everything that's happened before. I won't spoil it, but I will say that I found it to be a huge letdown – it wasn't original, and it made me feel cheated instead of pleasantly surprised.
That said, while it lasts, the experience is unnerving and a bit addictive. Despite some irritating downfalls, I feel safe in recommending you at least try Shattered Memories – so long as you don't get nightmares easily.

I don't like to rejoice in injury, and I won't. I would rather have the Jaguars win the AFC South with Peyton Manning leading the Colts, but that possibility would seem to be diminishing, at least in some capacity. Adam Schefter is reporting via Twitter that Peyton Manning is now listed, officially, as "out" against the Houston Texans:
"Not surprising but now official: Colts QB Peyton Manning out week 1 versus the Texans."
It's true that it's not a surprising development, but I wasn't sure I'd ever see the day where he didn't play because of injury. Truly a dark day for Colts fans everywhere.

handmade ice cream cones
I think today
is the perfect day to bid
one last farewell
to the fondest season of all.
A farewell to long summer days
and dinners outside.
To late night swims
and marshmallows by the fire.
To fishing trips,
summer markets
and lazy afternoons.
A farewell made up of
chocolate chip mint and handmade cones.
And drum roll please,
our new ice cream cone rollers!
xo, n
2 (60g) egg whites, room temperature
1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon (60g) icing sugar
15 grams granulated sugar
1 teaspoon (5g) pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon (42g) all purpose flour, sifted
a pinch of salt
2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted
unsalted butter for greasing the iron
In a medium bowl whisk together both types of sugar. Add the whites and whip until the mixture is frothy and ribbons begin to appear. Add the vanilla. Whisk in flour and salt and beat until well combined. Stir in the butter. Bake in a prepared and preheated waffle iron made especially for cones until golden. (As a general rule I bake 1 tablespoon of batter for 1 minute and 25 seconds on setting 5, but your machine may have different settings.) Repeat, greasing your iron as you go. Roll each waffle immediamtely after it comes off the machine (small cotton or latex gloves are helpful here). I like to leave a little space at the top of each roller but practice to get a shape you love, I think that's the fun part! You'll notice in these photos that I fold the bottom of my cones, but this is not necessary, it's simply an aesthitic choice. If you'd like them more traditional just skip folding them and pinch the bottoms into a clean point.
For those looking for a more traditional size we'll be adding a larger roller size to the shop in the next while.
And we're updating, watch for new items on Monday September 24th at 6pm EDT.
Join the list here.

Pacifico Ring
Pacifico Ring captures the rare event of a lunar eclipse within the night sky. It plays on the studio's curiosity with light, form and perception, combining an impressive set of bespoke technologies that mimic the movements of shadow and light from this night time experience.
Hanging above as a seemingly impossibly weightless glow, Pacifico Ring demonstrates precision and design married with immaculate fabrication. The gently pulsing dynamic light alters the surrounding environment by capturing objects in the room and creating a play of shadows that gently oscillates from around the suspended ring.
Each Pacifico Ring is sculpted in CAD and further CNC milled out of two solid 5mm sheet aluminium, bringing together absolute finesse and elegance. A nano array of bespoke white LEDs sits within the ring, creating an internal halo of light that moves dynamically, adding lighting volume to this otherwise impossibly flat ring.
Design and Production: Cinimod Studio
Electronics: White Wing Logic
Manufacturing: Mike Stoane Lighting
