Mike Whitfield's Workout Finishers Review
Okay – So Mike Whitfield Reckons He's Created The 'Done-For-You' System That'll See The End To Weight Loss Plateau! This We've Got To See, Because If It Works…
You know, there are so many workout and fat loss programs on the market that it becomes easy to dismiss new ones as just more of the same old, same old. So, we're doing our best to put aside our cynicism when we see that fitness trainer, Mike Whitfield (who used to sport a 46" waist and wore XXXL clothes) is promoting his done-for-you system that will see you losing the lard without losing the muscle.
So, for the low down and dirty inside story on whether Workout Finishes is a saint or sinner, read on to find out our results.
What do you get for your money?
D'you know, somehow it's just more credible to take advice on weight loss and fitness from a person who genuinely used to wobble when they walked! After all, when you're desperate to lose weight and all you see is people with perfect bodies telling you what to do, it kinda makes it hard to swallow.
And Mike is very honest about how overweight and unfit he used to be, along with being frank about how he came to let himself become this way. So, let's see what the Workout Finishers actually consists of.
- Component #1 – The 40 Workout Finishers Manual. This consists of, yep – you guessed it – 40 interval and finisher techniques specifically designed to bust through those fat cells with the minimum amount of time. Plus, you also get detailed information about why these work as well as they do.
- Component #2 – The "Torch" Fat Loss Program. A four week program specifically designed to be complimentary to the 40 Workout Finishers manual. This provides you with exact information on reps, intensity and each part of the program – including video walk-thru instruction.
- Component #3 – Workout Training Log. Does exactly what it says in the title!
- Component #4 – Workout Finishers Exercise Library. A video walk-thru showing you the exact technique of every exercise in the program.
- Component #5 – The Simplified Nutrition Plan – because no weight and fat loss program is complete without simple, nutritional advice.

Who is it for?
When you first look at Workout Finishers you get the impression that it's simply for those who're already pretty fit, but have reached that awful 'plateau' stage where you just can't lose those last few pounds! You know, that 'what the hell else do I have to do to be able to fit back into those pants' frustration that you feel like screaming as you add another mile onto your treadmill run.
But actually, Workout Finishers offers advantages to people of all levels of fitness. And that means couch potatoes right up to those who are trying to drop those last few pounds without risking their hard-earned muscle tone. Both men and women, young and old. This is because with every Finisher exercise, there's also an easier version. And you can also combine the two together to really personalize your workout plan.
Plus – and this is quite unique with such an exercise plan, Workout Finishers is something that fitness trainers can also take advantage of, because once you've got this 'done-for-you' system down pat, you can use it to get the same outstanding results with your clients.
Who is Mike Whitfield?
Mike Whitfield is a certified fitness trainer who is not ashamed to admit that he used to be extremely overweight and unfit. In fact, this is probably a huge advantage, because he's got first-hand knowledge of the pain, hardship and sheer humiliation necessary to go from being fat and flabby, to gaining the body you've always dreamed of.
Champion of 'short, sharp workouts,' Mike is regularly featured on various fitness blogs, including Turbulence Training, Times Union, Men's Health and the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

The Pros
- One thing that's going to get a lot of people stoked about Workout Finishers is the length of the exercises. Not one for slogging out on hours of cardio per week, Mike's Workout Finishers is all about targeting the muscle groups in short, intense bursts. The result? Fat loss in the shortest possible workout time – which is surely an advantage in anyone's book.
- The video walk-thru of each exercise is a great plus. Because whilst pictures and text are great, you can't beat actually being able to see the technique with your own eyes.
- The nutrition part of the program is truly simple to understand. Loads of information condensed into exactly what you need to know, with no need to have a PhD in nutrition to understand it.
- You don't have to give up any of your favorite workouts to gain the advantage of Workout Finishers. Because, exactly as the name suggests, these are exercises you do to finish off your workout – and that boost your metabolism considerably over the following 24 hours or longer.
- A massive 60 day, no quibble money back guarantee if you're not satisfied with the product.

The Cons
- Well – much as we'd love to say that Workout Finishers is a miracle cure to fat loss, we're afraid it's not so. (But when we find that, we'll be sure to let you know – from the deck of our million dollar yacht, of course!). So, if you want to drop the pounds, you've gotta put in the effort – it's a simple matter of physics.
- Much as this is being marketed as a 'done-for-you' program, what Workout Finishers can't provide you with is motivation. You have to bring that along yourself. But, and this is true for most people, once you see the fat start to diminish, that gives you all the motivation that you'll ever need (and if it doesn't, then you probably didn't really want to get fit anyway).
The Bottom Line
Well, we've gotta hand it to Mike – because Workout Finishers does exactly what it says on the label. Sure – it's hard work. Sure – you need to be committed. But as a great addition to your current fitness regime, this is one program that certainly gets the thumbs up from us. And, as an added bonus, the science behind the Workout Finishers technique is likely to see you changing more of your workout for the better. After all, who honestly wants to be running that treadmill for one second longer than they need to? And once you get your head around exactly why Workout Finishers is so effective, here's betting that your whole attitude to fitness gets a makeover.
Well done, Mike!

Book Reviews
by Diane Hartman, John E. Moye
Seeds of Doubt, by Stephanie Kane
Reviewed by Diane Hartman
In her best book yet, Kane brings us to the very end of this mystery wondering what the heck is going to happen. Then, it ends perfectly.
But to the beginning: The "seed" in the title has a double meaning. Tiny nuances of doubt are sprinkled throughout the novel, steering the reader this way and that. Should you trust any one of them? All bets are off.
The main allusion in the title is to Rachel Boyd, who may or may not be a bad seed. We learn that she just got out of prison after serving 30 years for the murder of a young playmate, when both lived in "the quiet agricultural community of Vivian, Colorado." Now living with her brother Chris in the Denver Country Club area, perhaps she would have gone unnoticed, except for the kidnapping and murder of a six year-old named Benjamin Sparks. He was the son of the gardener who tended Chris' yard, and who happened to stay with Rachel while Chris and Ben's dad went to take care of something at Chris' work. That hot summer day, Rachel walked with Ben to get ice cream; they returned to the house and took a nap. When she woke up, she said, he was gone.
High-profile criminal defense lawyer Jackie Flowers is asked by her old boyfriend Dennis to defend Rachel. Chris Boyd, CEO of a large Denver bank, hands Jackie a check that's double her normal fee. Clear my sister, he says; hire whomever you need to get the job done.
At the arraignment, as Jackie spars with dowdy, hapless Cal Doby from the district attorney's office, the judge decides to release Rachel, but wants her to stay with someone besides her brother before the trial. Jackie finds herself volunteering to have Rachel live with her. One benefit to this arrangement is that Rachel worked in food service at the prison, and cooks wonderful meals. The downside is that the rekindling of romance between Dennis and Jackie becomes a little awkward. Rachel, beautiful and mysterious, is not forthcoming about the circumstances of the earlier murder, preferring to ask Jackie lots of personal questions.
Most readers will have become comfortable with the characters in Kane's previous books. Pilar, her private investigator, is a fast-driving, fast-talking, pretty woman who's very protective of Jackie. Next door lives Lily, a brilliant, stubborn and creative child adopted from China and not understood by her new parents—but who just adores Jackie. Then there's Dennis, responsible for Jackie having to leave the public defender's office and quite a dark character is the previous book. Can he be trusted?
Her empathy for the underdog come from Jackie's dyslexia, which caused so much humiliation and pain when she was small and still haunts her. Because she keeps it a secret, she gets into some scary situations. This figures heavily into the dramatic ending of this engaging book.
In Praise of Fair Colorado: The Practice of Poetry, History, and Judging, by Justice Greg Hobbs
Reviewed by John E. Moye
Justice Greg Hobbs' extensive and impressive anthology is a significant contribution of thoughtful poems, detailed diaries, eloquent speeches, short essays, personal letters, substantive articles, and judicial opinions by a man who sees the state of Colorado with eyes that admire its wilderness and beauty and are amazed at its resources and power. As his writings reflect his observations, his focus meanders through very serious and complicated topics in the law to whimsical comments about the environment.
The book presents a fascinating juxtaposition of Justice Hobbs' various writings into a collection of impressions of Colorado and its citizens. It's fun to develop your own interpretations of some of his poems. They are not always obvious. For example, I think he is verbally illustrating his judicial acumen with a Colorado-based example in "Our Own Peaches," where he wrote about breach of legal rights:
"The art of sealing breaches starts
His touching letter to his daughter, Emily, upon her commencement of law school begins his section on "Lawyers & Judges, Trail Guides & Mapmakers." He verbally develops all of the emotions of beginning law school, through the oath of admission and his views on ethics and the professional practice.
His expertise as a water lawyer is amply displayed and demonstrated in his section on "Water and the West."
He kept a diary of a trip to Mesa Verde in May 2003. The entries are peppered with history and details that demonstrate his vast understanding of the geology of the area and details of the civilization of the Anasazi.
Finally, nowhere is his intimate writing style more appreciated than in his judicial opinions, reproduced in part in the "Constitutional Perspectives" section. His dissent from Board of Education of Jefferson County v. Wilder describes the facts of the case in the style of a fascinating short story, while his historical facts and description of the use of tents as places of habitation makes the opinion in People v. Schafer an enjoyable read.
Readers of this book should feel indebted to Justice Hobbs for sharing his view of (and in some cases his vision for) the Colorado he observes and experiences. His book encompasses poetry, history, and judging, and his poems address law, justice, history, the environment, the water, the land, human rights, and family. After reading this book, you'll conclude that it would be difficult to find someone who cares more about Colorado and those subjects than Justice Hobbs.
Justice Hobbs has assigned all of the royalties from this book to the Legal Aid Foundation of Colorado. Copies of his book are available for $23.95 from Bradford Publishing Company, 303-292-2590.

Just another day on the flats. No fish could ever replace the bonefish. That being said it can be fun to target these over looked species of the shallows. It is amazing to see how different a fight a blacktip shark dishes versus one from the cuts and bluewater. Its almost as if the two are different species. Blacktips of the flat are bulldogs. Blacktips of the deep are complete athletes. Still these bulldogs put up a fun fight!

Welcome Catholic Moms! › Forums › Raising Great Kids! › placentophagy › Reply To: placentophagy
I'd honestly NEVER thought of a relatively normal, sane, human mother doing such a thing. Animals might, but that is instinct and, well, they are animals after all, right? They eat their own dung, too, nothing surprises me about animal behavior.
That said, when someone posted that someone was thinking of eating afterbirth, my reaction was: EW! DISGUSTING!
People are so WEIRD! I can't believe anyone could take offense to someone responding to "I'm going to eat my kid's placenta" with the workds "EW" "YUCK" and "DISGUSTING".
Don't I know other cultures do it? Um, well, other cultures do a lot of things I find strange and/or revolting. I took a lot of human behavior and anthropology classes that included a variety of things (never came across placentophagy until now, though, necrophagy but not that…grizzly either way in my book). Over time, people have done a LOT of things. I personally don't care if I'm offending a routine placenta-eater by saying "EW"…and I don't think that is narrow minded…but I heard, loud and clear, that it IS narrow minded to say "no, I don't eat human body parts".
How scary, though?! To think there are people who really ARE offended that someone would think the practice is gross. It just sounds like a New Age/Hippy thing to me. Trying to be "more in touch with nature" and that sort of thing.
I'm fine with the natural world, I just don't know if I would want to be that "cozy" with my "inner hamster" if you know what I mean.
Weird, just weird!! There were actually folks trading recipes!! On a major baby/pregnancy forum!
Sheez, I've got to get over this morning sickness so I can get back to my usual routine. This computer is becoming too much a part of my daily reading LOL. 😆

Fringe Benefits
Year 7, 1990. I used to watch the popular chicks draped over the bubblers at recess and wonder why the lads loved them so. Why had these girls nabbed the hottest (scrawny, arseless, crackly-voiced) boys in our grade? What did they have in common? After a lot of scribbling in notebooks and scientific analysis, I concluded that the successful chicks all seemed to have huge, gravity defying fringes. That's bangs to you Americans. These saucy babes had perfectly boring straight tresses in the back, but perched on their foreheads were magnificent works of art. The fringe stood noble, unmovable, a seperate entity. It was a careful construction, invariably bullied into place with half a can of hairspray. There were a few different species. Some shot straight up like a picket fence, others spiked violently to one side like a backslash. Then there was the mushroom, my personal favourite. It had a distinct core, then each bit of hair had to be individually pulled outward so it fanned from the centre like petals on a (very tacky) flower. I thought these chicks must have held the secret to man-snaring in their tidal waves of hair. Was there some mystical allure in their ponytails, scraped back so tight that their eyes narrowed like a cat? Was the scent of Taft SuperHold Laquer an aphrodesiac? By the end of Year 8, everyone had adopted the freaky fringe, even me. But I was still no more successful with the lads than the bookworm with the body odor or the skanks that trolled the canteen lines asking, "Have you got five cents?" Luckily I got older and realised that a particular hairstyle wasn't going to open the door to sweet sweet lovin'. There's no secret, no special formula to finding romance. Sometimes it just happens. Sometimes even while you're having a really bad hair day. There's a few people moaning about being alone on evil Valentine's Day today. Chin up, I say. There's friends and music and vibrators and chocolate and puppies to make you smile. And it could be worse, you could have a really stupid fringe.

In Virginia, a Longtime Republican Votes for Change
Sunday, February 10, 2008
GLEN ALLEN, Va. -- Laura Barchi DeBusk threw on her boots and sunglasses as the school bus rounded the corner. Clutching her preschooler's hand, she crossed the street along with half a dozen other stay-at-home moms. DeBusk and her neighbors -- Republicans all -- rarely discuss politics, but days before a primary election here she decided to send a little shock through her subdivision.
"You'll be surprised to know I'm voting for Barack Obama," DeBusk, 37, announced as the school bus pulled up.
"Really?" her friend Sherry Tierney, 36, said as their first-graders hopped off the bus. "Why?"
"I feel like we need to get out of the Bush black-and-white way of thinking," DeBusk said. "I feel like McCain would also say, 'It's my way or the highway.' . . . Obama's message of inclusion and working together is what we need."
"But he's so young," Tierney replied. "I like McCain."
"He's soooo old," DeBusk fired back. "What will he be, 80, when he finishes his term?"
In the well-to-do western suburbs of Richmond, most mothers in the Twin Hickory subdivision agreed with Tierney. The Republican front-runner's military service, his moderate streak and his history of working with Democrats were attractive to the mothers. In a state where voters are allowed to participate in either primary, they planned to vote Republican on Tuesday.
DeBusk likes a lot about Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), too, but it's not enough to overcome her disenchantment with a Republican Party she thinks is adrift and uninspired, both in Virginia and nationally. She voted for President Bush twice and regrets where he has taken the country and what she thinks he has done to the good name of the United States of America. She's tired of what she sees as a lackluster string of Republicans that have run and, lately, lost in a Virginia that seems more liberal by the day. And she watched with particular dismay as Republican Sen. George Allen's 2006 reelection campaign went up in flames after he uttered a remark perceived by many as racist.
"You get so disappointed, like, these are the people we are putting up?" DeBusk said. "Like, are you kidding me? This is who we have to choose from?"
The Laura DeBusks of the country are just the kind of voters that Sen. Obama (D-Ill.) has courted -- sick of what they've been offered, tired of where things are headed and willing to try something, anything, new. Exit polls from elections across the country last week showed that Obama won the majority of independent voters. DeBusk, like many voters, worries about Obama's lack of experience, and she disagrees with him on a handful of issues, particularly his tax policies. But her desire for change is so great, she's willing to take the chance.
"Even if he doesn't do everything the way I'd like, I really feel like he can move us forward," she said.
DeBusk was raised in a conservative military family where discipline, love of country and voting Republican were shared values. She respects McCain's military service, but she'll consider him only if Hillary Rodham Clinton is the Democratic nominee. She thinks Clinton is smart and capable but fears that Republicans so dislike the New York senator that the country will be polarized.

Nokia's Losses May Necessitate a Microsoft Bailout
Jason Mick
May 7, 2012 1:00 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: driftingfocus/flickr)
Company has $22B USD in assets, but is unlikely to be willing/able to sell them for different reasons
Nokia Oyj. (
) was once
number one in the phone market
. Number one in smartphones sold. Number one in total phones sold. But in 2010, the company was faced with a dilemma. Its smartphone operating system, Symbian, was growing at a steady pace. But overall, it was
being outpaced in growth
by Google Inc. (
) Android and Apple, Inc.'s (
) iOS. Nokia feared that clinging to Symbian could spell a slow death. So the company's board made a bold gambit and turned to former Microsoft Corp. (
) executive
Stephen Elop
for a change of pace.
Mr. Elop in January 2011 gave an impassioned speech labeling Symbian
as a "burning platform"
. Those words proved prophetic, though it's open to debate whether he created a self-fulfilling prophecy. Nokia went on to
proclaim Microsoft's Windows Phone
as the platform of the future, leaving Symbian
in an awkward spot
. Whether Symbian's subsequent
tumultuous plunge
was due to Nokia's abandonment or to customers' turning to better products in the form of Android and iOS is a hotly debated issue.
I. Now, Certainly, the Platform is Burning
But the facts are what they are. Today Nokia still is one of the top-five smartphone manufacturers, it still has over $22B USD in assets, and it has seen
from early Windows Phone efforts. But at the same time the company is
hemorrhaging cash
at an alarming pace and has seen
smartphone sales plunge
amid as the company slowly made its OS transition at a
frustratingly lackadaisical pace
that the situation at Nokia is bad enough that Microsoft may be forced to take more drastic action (in addition to
current payments
) to "bail out" its struggling partner. Microsoft has made no secret of the fact that it considers the phone market to be a
long term money loser
for it, but that it's
willing to pour billions
from its
$60B USD horde of cash
into this pit.
Microsoft may be forced to douse partner Nokia's "burning platform" in
a healing stream of cash. [Image Source: Mobus]
The new report quotes a "veteran technology banker" as commenting, "I don't see Microsoft owning Nokia, but it would definitely provide financing to the tune of a couple of billion dollars."
Another banker was cited as stating that Microsoft was unlikely to purchase Nokia, but was likely to either take an equity stake or offer a generous inter-company loan. A third banker was quoted as stating that other top phonemakers aren't terribly interested in vying with Microsoft for a controlling interest in the Euro giant who recent saw its credit
downgraded to junk
. Comments the third source, "I don't see it as a target for private equity either. It is still too expensive and too volatile. You would have to be prepared to catch a falling knife."
The financial veterans say that Microsoft has strong vested interests in keep Nokia's assets off the auction block. Not only does the firm provide Microsoft with a key smartphone hardware partner, but its intellectual property could prove a threat to Microsoft if it fell into the right hands.
II. Rich Assets Unlikely to be Sold for Different Reasons
The company's phone patent portfolio, is very strong -- particularly given it is less reliant on the kind "fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory" (FRAND) patents that
pack the portfolios
of such phone making giants as Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) and Motorola Mobility Inc. (
). FRAND patents are a lovely premise -- industry players cooperating for the betterment of customers and science/technology -- but in the harsh realities of today's hyper-litigious legal atmosphere, they're
essentially relegated to junk status
. Thus Nokia's strong collection of non-FRAND IP makes it a dangerous player.
Nokia reportedly forced
another non-FRAND powerhouse, Apple
, into
a favorable licensing deal
. And while Apple is oft blamed for starting the global phone "Patent Wars", an allegation supported by its late CEO Steven P. Jobs'
virulent anti-Android rhetoric
, it was arguably
Nokia who started the war
, suing Apple in October 2009.
The phonemaker represents a key threat IP-wise to Apple and the Android alliance. But it could also prove a godsend to Google, if its IP were to be put on the auction block. That would be a nightmare scenario for Microsoft, who allegedly has a rather weak smartphone portfolio, but which has shaken down a number of top Android device makers in what multiple Android allies
claim is a brilliant bluff
(Microsoft refuses to reveal what patents it is threatening to sue Android phonemakers over until
they license).
Microsoft would likely rather pay Nokia off than allow its patents to be sold to rival Google.

Aside from IP Nokia has two major assets it could sell off -- its
Navteq map services unit
and its stake in the
Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) joint venture
it holds with Germany's Siemens AG (
). The latter is the more likely of the two to be sold, but doubts of the likelihood of a sale burn bright, given the collapse of a previous sale offer from private interests. As for Navteq, a sale is very unlikely, say experts, given Nokia's resolute stand that it will not sell the unit, which it views as
a core pillar of its product differentiation.
III. Did Mr. Elop Start the Fire?
Some investors hint that it was a mistake to bring Mr. Elop and Microsoft into the house. States John Strand, founder and CEO of Danish consultancy Strand Consult, "Elop was not hired as a boss for a burning platform. He put the platform on fire."
Perhaps he's right, but the facts are about as ambiguous as possible -- when Mr. Elop took over Symbian was growing in unit sales, but seeing its market share burn away. Again it's impossible to say whether everything that's happened since -- plunging sales, the sluggish transition, etc. -- is solely Mr. Elop's fault.

But it's also hard to completely absolve the tech veteran of some degree of culpability. His precise measure of guilt in Nokia's mess is a
hot topic among analysts
, but their analysis should be recognized as nothing more than educated opinion.
Whatever set the fire; it's certain that Nokia has now been badly burned. And if there's one thing the analysts seem to agree on, it's that a Microsoft intervention may be vital and necessary for Nokia's survival.

- Meeks
On back of photo is written, "Nellie Meeks, killed by the Taylor boys." It would be interesting to know more about Nellie. A search turned up this link and others, http://www.ourancestry.com/meeks-murder.html
Nellie Meeks
Nellie grew to womanhood and married Albert Spray of North Salem. She died in 1910 shortly after giving birth to a daughter Hattie.
per story on Ancestry, this took place in Sullivan County, Mo.
Nellie's mother, father, 2
Nellie's mother, father, 2 sisters, and a baby who was born prematurely during the attack were all killed in May of 1894. Nellie was adopted by the prosecutor who tried their killer, Bill Taylor. George Taylor was also involved but managed to escape custody. Bill was convicted and hanged. Happened near Browning, MO, which sits on the county line between Sullivan and Linn.
A Question and More Info
Do you know the name of the prosecutor who adopted her? According to the 1900 census, which can be found at http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=home, Nellie Meeks, born Sep 1887, was living with John and Mary C. Page. They were in Union Township, Sullivan County. John was a farmer. At first I figured these were her maternal grandparents, since she is given as their granddaughter, but perhaps these could be the people who adopted her.
According to the Ancestry.com database "Missouri Marriage Records, 1805-2002", Nellie married Albert Spray 6 Jan 1904 in Milan, Sullivan county. His father and her guardians are listed as being present.
According to this same database, Hattie Spray married Wayne Jones 24 Nov 1919, also in Milan. On the 1910 census, Hattie, age 5, was living with her paternal grandparents. Her father, who is listed as widowed, was living with one of his brothers. They were all in Sullivan County.

Willem de Kooning
b. April 24, 1904 and died March 19, 1997
Willem de Kooning was born in
, the Netherlands, where he attended the Rotterdam Academy of Fine Arts and Techniques for eight years. He relocated to the United States in 1924 by becoming a stowaway. De Kooning in 1938 started working on series of male figures (
Two Men Standing, Man
, and
Seated Figure
) while also starting on a more purist series (
Pink Landscape
) of lyrically colored abstractions that continued into the 1940s. During this period Willem de Kooning created the representational
Woman and Standing Man
that was somewhat geometricized along with many untitled abstractions with biomorphic forms that increasingly suggest the presence of figures. Around 1945 the two methods were merged into the
Pink Angels
During the 1940's Willem de Kooning became increasingly identified with the Abstract Expressionist movement and in the 1950's was recognized as one of the leaders and he was also a part of the New York School along with Adolph Gottlieb, Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, and Robert Motherwell.
The recognizable charachteristic of de Kooning's style was the emphasis on complex figure ground ambiguity. Willem de Kooning's background figures would overlap his other figures causing them to appear in the foreground which in turn may be overlapped by dripping lines of paint which positioned the area into the background. In the 1950's de Kooning began to explore the subjec of women exclusively for example he started that summer with Woman I which went through many changes before it was completed in 1952.
De Kooning's artworks were figurative at a time when his fellow Abstract Expressionists were painting abstractly. The imagery he created used aggressive brushwork, intentionally placed colors, merged with the large eyes and squarely chiseled bodies reminiscent of early Mesopotamian artworks.
Around the late 1950's to early 1960's De Kooning evolved the path of his artwork into pure abstractions that related more to landscapes (
Bolton Landing
, 1957 and
Door to the River
, 1960) than to the the human figures. The paintings bore broad brushstrokes and calligraphic tendencies similar to works by Franz Kline.
De Kooning moved to East Hampton, Long Island and returned to depicting women while also refrencing the landscape (
Woman, Sag Harbor,
Clam Diggers
). He also created a number of works that were later cast in bronze.

NEW YORK (AP) - Exxon Mobil Corp., General Electric and other major energy companies will contribute at least $175 million to a 10-year global energy and climate research project at Stanford University.
Irving-based Exxon Mobil, the world's largest oil and gas company, will contribute $100 million to the project, which will allow Stanford scientists to investigate everything from hydrogen power to technologies aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
GE will give $50 million and Schlumberger Limited has committed to putting up $25 million. E.On AG, a German power company, said it intends to contribute $50 million.
Stanford will retain formal legal title to the technology and information developed under the Global Climate and Energy Project, as well as formal legal title to all patents sought, the university said Wednesday.
"This project gives us an opportunity to unleash the creativity of Stanford students and faculty on one of the grand challenges of the century," said Lynn Orr, who is stepping down as dean of Stanford's school of earth sciences to be director of the project.

IRS recruiting volunteers for 2013 tax season
The Columbus Dispatch - October 22, 2012 12:01 PM
The Internal Revenue Service is recruiting volunteers to help prepare tax returns next year for senior citizens, miltiary personnel and families with low to moderate incomes.
The IRS will have a recruting event from 10:30 a.m.to 1 p.m. Thursday on the third floor of the John W. Bricker Federal Building, 200 N. High St., for area federal employees interested in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance or Tax Counseling for the Elderly programs.
The IRS also is looking for volunteers who aren't federal employees and partner organizations to host tax return preparation and filing sties in communities throughout central Ohio, including community centers, libraries, schools and shopping malls.
Prior tax
preparation service is not required. The IRS provides training and needed materials to volunteers.
The IRS needs tax preparers, greeters, recruiters and equipment coordinators.
Last year, about 250 volunteers helped area residents prepare and file more than 4,000 federal income tax returns.
For more information, go to www.irs.gov and type in volunteer in the search box. Then send an email to email@example.com.

New Bond Movie To Give Modern Day Twist To Book 'Devil May Care'
The basis for next film installment of the James Bond franchise, with Daniel Craig returning in the role of super-spy James Bond, has been chosen.
According to a U.K. report, Craig and director Sam Mendes will be adapting Sebastian Faulks' book "Devil May Care" for the next film, the 24th in the series, set to open in late 2014.
Faulks wrote the 2008 novel, a sequel to The Man with The Golden Gun, to mark the 100th anniversary of Bond author Ian Fleming's birth, but attempts to bring the story to the big screen have previously been shelved due to its 1960s setting.
However, producers are now giving the idea another try, according to Britain's The Sun.
The book follows Bond as he does battle with an evil chemist who is plotting to destroy Britain, and reports suggest the story could be updated into a modern day setting for the new film.
Mendes recently confirmed he will be returning to the franchise to direct a second film after the success of his 2012 007 flick Skyfall, which became the most successful Bond film of all time.

The game is a re-match of last spring's NCAA Tournament Second Round match-up that saw the Bulldogs down the Mountaineers 77-54 in Pittsburgh, Pa.
The showcase event to launch the collegiate basketball season on ESPN began in November, 2008, and this will be the Bulldogs fourth straight appearance in the Tip-off Marathon. Last season Gonzaga defeated Washington State University in the McCarthey Athletic Center 89-81. The 2010-11 season saw the Zags fall to San Diego State University 79-76 at home as part of the CBE Classic, and in the fall of 2009 Gonzaga lost a hard-fought 75-71 decision at Michigan State University.
Gonzaga went 26-7 overall and 13-3 in the West Coast Conference last season while West Virginia finished 19-14 after going 9-9 in the BIG EAST, both teams earning at-large bids into the NCAA Tournament. The meeting was the first between the schools. The Bulldogs appeared in their 14th straight NCAA Tournament a year ago, while WVU was in its seventh tourney in the past eight years, including a trip to the 2010 Final Four.

I am serving the Church of Scotland as a minister member of the PCUSA- and find myself in some interesting situations regarding the age old Sunday School question.
As a national church, the C of S requires a chaplain for school assemblies (that's me!) and as a result, I feel that a lot of families think that their children "get enough church through school."
However, I always thought that Christian education was a church thing, and extended to all members, regardless of age, marital status, etc.
While we have difficulty with numbers in Sunday School on a weekly basis, we have created a worship space once a month for families (read children, grannies, parents, pet goldfish) that includes a worship encounter, rotational workshops for the family, and eventual interaction with the congregation remaining in the sanctuary. While we're still learning how to integrate these families into the whole of the congregation, we find that our "try something different and risk" approach has been fruitful.
We will have challenges regardless of time and place in our ministry... the hope is that we rise up to them, and think about our motivation behind "getting people into the door."

I certainly agree with emmcpnee.
The statement: "But there are so many other groups of people out there for the church to serve...retirees, singles, childless couples...that have no need of Sunday School" struck me as very odd, in that each one of those groups have as much need of "Sunday School" as our youth, whether they have been a Christian for 40 years or 40 days. Bible study is for a lifetime.
I understand the difficulty of teachers needing a break. I understand the feelings of many that they have not been given a spiritual gift of teaching. I do believe that the Holy Spirit will provide that gift for the use of the congregation.
I also believe that we shouldn't treat Sunday School as just another program. We need to remember to be prayerful and attentive for the Lord's leading. He may show your congregation a different way or time or structure in which to provide educational opportunities.

emmcphee said...
I respectfully disagree with "anonymous" - Sunday School is about much more than child care. All Christians are in need of some form of intentional Christian education and formation, not just the children. The more compelling argument for me would be the teachers saying, "I want to go to my class sometimes, too!" That's where rotating teachers' schedules can help - although probably in this situation as well. You just need more volunteer teachers, and then everyone can have one or more weeks off a month. The down side is less consistency for the kids, but how can we make this work for everybody? Families still have to make their choices about church, sunday school, and so on.
Lisbeth said... When I
Lisbeth said...
When I was young, Sunday School for kids was held at the same time as Worship for adults. Thus the day was not "too long" for the 11 and unders. 12 and olders (including adults) had Sunday School either before or after worship service. Volunteer teachers rotated so each taught a couple of weeks and attended worship a couple. Perhaps that type of system would bring more kids to classes.

At the risk of being overly forward, I'd like to draw your attention to my Sunday School website: http://storiesontheway.wordpress.com.
I'm developing a curriculum (free for use)that recognizes the reality of sporadic attendance and volunteer burnout. I don't have any strategies to increase commitment or attendance but I do hope to make Sunday School within our current parameters more effective and satisfying.
I think that Sunday School is too important a part of the church's mission to abandon it altogether, even in favour of other worthy work.

I have to agree with what the last anonymous said. Sometimes I look at how many different churches organize things it seems like they are too focused on too specific groups only (kids, young adults, etc.), rather than, while offering those, also offering general ways of connecting the whole community across different groupings.
I recognize that resources can be tight and you can't offer groups to cover every single type of person that could potentially attend. Just don't get obsessed with ones that aren't working currently, but instead recognize that the focus may have to change from time to time as things change within community over time.
There will be times when traditional Sunday school works and others where it doesn't and you need to focus scare resources else where.
But that's just my own insane .02
Anonymous said... As I
Anonymous said...
As I was reading this article, I couldn't help but think "maybe it's a sign that churches should start focusing on things other than Sunday School."
I know churches are fairly obsessed with getting families with young children to join. But there are so many other groups of people out there for the church to serve...retirees, singles, childless couples...that have no need of Sunday School.
Perhaps the decline of Sunday School points to different possibilities for churches

Chris Duckworth said...
During the program year we are likely to have 30-35 Sundays of Sunday School, accounting for days when class is canceled or replaced by intergenerational activities (ie, Sunday between Christmas and New Years, Sunday of Thanksgiving Weekend, Easter Sunday, and so forth). That's 30-35 contact hours/year in education programming ... about what the kids get in one week of public schooling.
We kept very good attendance figures this year in Sunday School, and we learned that with the exception of one exceptional family, even our best attending children missed Sunday School about 20-30% of the time. We're using a curriculum with distinct lesson themes/topics from week to week, and many of our learners are missing a significant amount of material.
We're reducing the number of traditional Sunday School lessons being taught in the 2010-2011 year and replacing those lessons with days of preparing for a church Bible Bee, lector training (for third grade and higher), and a creative class project (song, dance, mural ...). As an Associate Pastor, I work closely with the education ministry and will be preparing materials for these special activities. The hope is that an alternative activity helps the kids get enthusiastic about learning (ie, the Bible Bee), develop skills to contribute to the congregation's worship life (the lector training), and learn how to give creative expression to faith (the class project). It will hopefully also give a break to teachers by providing a different kind of Sunday morning activity.
Will all of these projects pan out? Perhaps not, but we're trying something different, recognizing that 30+ traditional Sunday School lessons is difficult for teachers and learners alike.

Maybe it's time for us to do some out of the box thinking. So many times we dig our heels in and become determined that we must continue doing things as they've always been done, thus missing opportunities for fresh ways of doing church and reaching the culture.

by TR Ramaswami
Army? Present Sir. Navy? Present Sir. Air Force? Present Sir. IB? Present Sir. No roll-call change in 65 years. More commands and R&AW created, but organizational / mental framework is still gora-style. Even the three chiefs AFTER 'independence' were British! Obsolete frameworks prevent new thinking. Recall the recent army vs air-force 'attack-helicopter tussle'. The Air-Chief seems to have forgotten the primary role of the air-force - to get to targets that the army or navy cannot reach fast enough. A WW II Air Chief said - the enemy's army is not the concern of my air-force - meaning the army needs all that it takes to tackle the other army - attack helicopters and even ground attack aircraft.
Why this obsolete structure, except "apparently good" in 1971? And that's only because Manekshaw had gumption? Because the supreme civilian authority - the neta - is blissfully happy to be ignorant. No army chief is going to win him elections. He is happy to leave matters to his Defence Secretary who virtually functions as the Chief of Defence Staff, with no operational knowledge or even responsibility. To compound this, foreign secretaries become National Security Advisors, including the perpetrator of the Sharm-el-Sheikh "Baluchistan" gaffe. Indian heavenly cadres, on being given any designation, out of sync with a 40-year career, immediately attain nirvana to function in the new avataram.
Defence & intelligence revamp starts only with knowledgeable netas taking charge - should know difference between guerillas and gorillas. No more POK, 1962, 1971 - all political snafus - and hare-brained post-1947 reduction plans of the army from 2 million to 2 lacs! Our army was just 4 lacs in 1962! That "hare" lost half his home state, worrying more about world peace when his own borders were burning. A true modern day Ne(h)ro. In 1947, facing a weaker force, POK could have been prevented, but he chose to go to the UN. Reverse stupidity came in 1962 - a more powerful army was taken head-on! Strategic IQ - zero - because negative marks are not allowed! Unfortunately babudom and netaraj have inherited his non-strategic genes. Our 'Defence' Ministers look so lost and incompetent. Can they defend even three stumps, let alone a nation?
'Army', 'Navy' and 'Air-Force' must be confined to dictionaries. We need only an IAF - Indian Armed Forces. To ensure that no mental barriers remain - all with the same uniform, ranks and rank badges - all banned for para-military and police forces. Concerns may be raised whether such unification could be dangerous. Nothing prevents someone from staging a coup right now. And you don't need Chiefs, C-in-Cs, Generals or even Colonels. Just an Osama style helicopter operation, to take mama mia, yuvraj, beti and jijaji - even one - as hostages - and everyone will run around like chickens with their heads off.
First, a CoDS with MoS status. The IAF will have a Ground & Tactical Force and a Nuclear & Strategic Force. Even Defence Secretary will come under CoDS. No rotation between the army, navy, air-force - they are all dead. The best man will be picked for the job. Adequate separation, to eliminate coup concerns which some editor is itching for, will be infused - there are several functional and reporting structures possible. How do we start? All commands, army - air force and air force - navy must first coincide and then amalgamate. Next, every officer before promotion to two-star rank, as part of NDC course, will do a stint with another relevant force. Gradually introduce it in earlier courses. Only those with "integrated attitudes" will go up.
The new defence structure dovetails into a new intelligence structure. Post 9/11, the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence stated - Law enforcement agencies just think differently from intelligence organizations. Intelligence analysts would doubtless make poor policemen and it has become very clear that policemen make poor intelligence analysts. So let cops control traffic, play chor-police, collect haftas and leave intelligence to the intelligent. Deputations to intelligence outfits must secure the nation, not the ruling party and officers' careers and cadres.
NSA heads the Joint Intelligence Committee - Director IB, Secretary (Security), Secretary R&AW, DG Armed Forces Intelligence and DG Revenue Intelligence. A new security function - DG Food & Water Security - an IAF officer, also joins the JIC. On top of the JIC sits the National Security Council - PM, Home, Foreign, Defence, Finance Ministers, NSA and CoDS only. Opposition Leader? Small is beautiful - recall Parkinson's Law - the probability of a committee doing something worthwhile is 1/2(to the power) n - 1 - where n is the number of members. An entirely new set up will inspire new strategic thinking that is woefully lacking. How about a really knowledgeable Parliamentary Oversight Committee. And revision of related 19th. century laws, and the Constitution, please. Otherwise 'security' will have to be spelt as "suck-rooty" as most, perhaps appropriately, pronounce it. We are already committing "federalicide".
D-day? Today, 21/11 - exactly 50 years since the 1962 nightmare ended. Operation 2020 - that's the deadline for IAF's and NSC's complete revamp. Well, that's it. You cannot expect a Goldwater-Nichols Act in 900 words.

Congestion Pricing Can Help Save Working NYC Families $2,300 Per Year
The choice for policymakers, Petro writes, should be clear: Congestion pricing could raise $420 million in new annual revenue, enough to close most of the MTA's current budget deficit and spare working New Yorkers the brunt of painful fare hikes and service cuts.
DMI is a progressive think-tank based in New York City with an explicit focus on middle class issues. Today's report puts the economic and equity impacts of congestion pricing front and center. If the MTA tries to balance its budget with only service cuts and fare hikes, Petro estimates that a transit-dependent family of four will be forced to spend an additional $2,300 a year to get around the city.
Fully 55 percent of New Yorkers commute to work via transit. In contrast, only five percent commute into the CBD by car, and they are disproportionately affluent [PDF]. "One of the most frustrating arguments against congestion pricing is that it would disproportionately hit the middle class," said Petro. "It's frustrating because it's so plainly untrue." The DMI report makes a strong case for why congestion pricing is exactly the kind of policy that supports New York's middle class.
What's more, Petro argues, congestion pricing would be the most fiscally and environmentally responsible way to fund the MTA. Congestion pricing wouldn't force the MTA to raid its capital budget just to keep buses and trains running and would also take 100,000 cars off the road, improving bus service for millions and reducing both greenhouse gas emissions and asthma-causing air pollution.
The MTA needs to balance its budget, one way or the other. Congestion pricing offers a fiscally sustainable and socially equitable revenue stream with major environmental benefits. That said, Petro's numbers show that the MTA's $783 million deficit -- caused principally by declining revenues and shrinking government funding -- can't be closed solely with the $420 million that Mayor Bloomberg's 2007 congestion pricing plan was projected to raise per year.
The details of the plan could be tweaked, however. "Some form of congestion pricing could be created to raise enough revenue to close the gap, if that's what the goal is," Petro said. If Albany gets its act together, could congestion pricing be passed quickly enough to avert the current crisis? Petro believes it's possible, although to get the money in time for this budget cycle, he says the MTA will have to take out an expensive short-term loan.
That's a small price to pay when the alternative is to collect $2,300 more in fares from every transit-riding family of four in New York City. "If another source of revenue is not found, that is what we're looking at," said Petro.

The Harvard Sailing Center is located on a barge in the Charles River Basin. The barge supports a two story structure. Half the sailing center contains changing rooms, rest rooms, and a boat repair shop while the other half houses the boats.
The boats are stored using our "unique" hanging system (unique doesn't begin to describe the operation). We haul boats out on racks using a crane. They are hung vertically and moved via a ceiling-mounted monorail. Despite its complexity, this system has functioned well for over thirty years.
There is one main string of floats used to tie up the boats once they are in the water as well as for boat rotation during regattas. Another string of floats is used to store our eight FJs and two 420s (since we cannot hang these types of boats).

THE Aviva Stadium is the focal point of Ireland's RBS 6 Nations campaign as they host both England and France, in Dublin 4, over the next few weeks, but Carton House, 30 kilometres west of Lansdowne Road, is the players' home for the championship.
The four-star hotel, spa and golf resort, outside Maynooth, Co Kildare, is an attractive prospect for anyone fancying to 'get away from it all' within proximity of the Irish capital. On a 1,000-acre estate, the one-time ancestral seat of the Earls of Kildare and Dukes of Leinster is among Ireland's greatest stately homes and boasts championship golf courses designed by Mark O'Meara and Colin Montgomerie.
After years of wasting hours of valuable match preparation in Dublin traffic, travelling from team hotels to training grounds, the greatest asset for the Ireland rugby team is that Carton is just a short walk from work.
The Carton House training facility, which boasts two FIFA-regulation soccer pitches and a GAA pitch the same size as Croke Park, also has two 100m x 70m rugby pitches and an additional training area for scrummaging drills, all 50 metres from the main entrance of the hotel.
However nice their previous base camps, in Killiney and Mount Merrion, at Citywest and in Wicklow, this is a much better situation for players and coaches alike.
"We were in Killiney, which was a lovely place, and the lads were at Citywest before that, but we had to travel across to the pitch, and we were wasting so much time on the trips to and from training," said Munster and Ireland second row, Donnacha Ryan. "This is a fantastic place to be. The pitch is right outside and it's unbelievable. We have everything here, a swimming pool, gym, although I don't think anyone's used the snooker room. That's probably just as well; send the louts down there and they'd probably tear it apart. But everyone here is very accommodating and always talking to (team manager) Mick Kearney, getting things we need, or organising stuff we'd like to do.
"We had the Irish boxers come in to us, in the autumn, and just listening to the set-up they have, compared to ourselves, and you think what the GAA clubs make do with, you do appreciate what we get."
So what do they get during the four weeks they spend at Carton, before and during the November series of tests, the intermittent weekends of mini-training camps, and the eight-week stretch across the Six Nations campaign? The training field may be the most photographed portion of the Ireland camp, but it is the tip of the iceberg in the day-to-day operation of Declan Kidney's team.
An on-site state-of-the-art gym, 18-metre swimming pool, sauna, steam-room and jacuzzi cater to the requirements of the Irish strength and conditioning team, while the stately home's former receptions rooms, including the elaborately decorated, Baroque-style 'gold salon' host the media for three or four press conferences each week, including team announcements co-ordinated by media manager, Karl Richardson.
The engine room of the Ireland Six Nations machine is the team room, the off-limits private space where Kidney and his backroom staff plot, plan, and hold team meetings, and where players go through copious files, and DVD clips of video analysis, get a rub down from masseurs, Dave Revins and Willie Bennett, or relax in a communal area.
Let Ryan give you a guided tour.
The team room: "We have one, big, open-plan room. The lads can use all the laptops there for video analysis, and all the coaches have their desks there, so we can go over and have a chat with them. We get some analysis done regularly and there'd be regular chats with Gert, Les, Declan, and Axel's there as well, now, which is great.
"It's where we eat, as well, in the middle of the room, for snacks or cereal or making a sandwich.
"Then, we have all the fitness in one area, all the physios, two masseurs and a rehab area, if the lads want to get some specific exercises done, for pre-hab and rehab, which is very important. And we have a GPS area, as well, where you can see what sort of mileage you're clocking up and your speeds.
"We have a projector and big screen in there, as well. Sky Sports News is on most of the time and, in the evenings, if anybody wants to watch a bit of TV they can sit down on the couches there. A lot of the lads would be watching (TV series) box sets. I'd be watching line-outs.
"Then, around the corner, there's a table-tennis table. A lot of the younger lads have taken that up. Zebo would have notions of himself, but, I have to say, I wouldn't be playing against Rog (Ronan O'Gara) or Drico (Brian O'Driscoll). Rog had tennis lessons when he was growing up, so he'd want to be good at it."
Of course, 'all work and no play', and all that, is pertinent when players are cooped up in the one place for any length of time. However comfortable the surroundings, the Ireland management is aware of the dangers of their players going stir crazy. To that end, Carton offers light relief beyond the house. The golf facilities are second to none, with the Golfing Union of Ireland headquartered on the grounds and acting as home, not just to the GUI National Academy, but also former Irish Open winner, Shane Lowry.
Carton House is Lowry's official attachment on tour, while, this summer, for the first time since 2006, the Montgomerie Course will host the Irish Open, the tournament Lowry won as an amateur in 2009.
Not only that, Carton boasts running trails through its woodlands, and various activities otherwise available to companies for team-building exercises, such as a 4x4 off-road driving course. Plenty of options to cater for most whims among a 33-strong playing squad.
Down time: "In the Argentina week, we went out onto the off-road driving course here, there's archery, and we also did some dual go-karting and you don't have to go anywhere, it's just outside," Ryan says. "Cian Healy tries to drive his (Land Rover) Defender around the off-road track and Peter O'Mahony loves all that type of stuff, as well.
"I love playing golf, as do a lot of the guys, and there's the two courses here, so that's brilliant. And, in Maynooth itself, you've got stuff to mix things up, as well, because monotony is the worse thing that can creep in. Plus, we can always go into Dublin. The lads went off shopping for some serious impulse-buying, some of the lads went looking for boogie boards and wetsuits, though I'd have nothing to do with that (have a chat with Keith Earls, maybe, and Conor Murray. They're looking to get into that for recovery, going to Lahinch after matches. It's my idea of hell, though).
"But you look to make the most of your down days. Our weekend is, maybe, a Wednesday, so we look to do something then.
"There might be an entertainment committee, but I do know the youngest person gets stung with having to do the cinema, they have to write a preview on how good the film is that we're going to watch. Dave Kilcoyne gave us a very detailed account of the last film I watched. It's just a bit of fun.
"We've also had Barry Murphy's band in, Hermitage Green, to play for us and they've brought in some fantastic speakers, as well. Michael O'Leary was in to us last year and the Irish boxing team. You'd think we'd be poles apart, but they're normal guys and it's interesting to meet them and ask them questions.
"And Christy Moore was in during the last Six Nations. He invites guys up to sing with him and that was a great thing for me to do, sing a song with him. He's a lovely man, just chatted away, and what other environment would you get to do that in? So, all that's good, it breaks up the monotony. We've had Padraig Harrington speak to us, Shane Lowry took us out on the driving range, lovely fella.
"We had a good bit of craic with Shane. Sean O'Brien broke Mike Kearney's driver trying to hit it like a hurley, but Shane said going on tour on your own, he would miss the team aspect of our sport, because of all the fun you can have. That's probably something we do take for granted at times, but it is fantastic."
