Carolyn Bennett St. Paul's, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great pleasure to invite everyone to explore the new website of the Subcommitee on the Status of Persons with Disabilities at www.parl.gc.ca/disability.
We want Canadians to become more aware of, and involved in, our work as parliamentarians and as members of this subcommittee.
We hope that this website will become a way for citizens to participate in our study of the Canada pension plan disability program. Why is this site important? One can use the site to get information and resources about the subcommittee's study.
For us it is vital that people have information about what we are doing so they can understand more about the CPP disability program, the largest federal disability income program, how it works and what can be done to improve it.
We want Canadians to understand the challenges that exist with this program and to participate in our search for ways to deal with them.
We are putting a broad range of information on the site: evidence and minutes, the presentations that the subcommittee has heard, and previous reports and how the government has responded to them.
As we move through our study of the CPP disability program the website will--

Winemaker of the Year Award
Statements By Members

Walt Lastewka St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise in the House of Commons today to offer congratulations to Ms. Sue-Ann Staff, the wine master of Pillitteri Estates Winery, who was the first woman to be voted Winemaker of the Year at the Ontario Wine Awards.
Ms. Staff's family has deep roots in the Niagara region. Her ancestors settled in the region in the late 1700s and the Staff family started farming grapes in 1895. Sue-Ann studied winemaking at the acclaimed Roseworthy wine university in Australia and remained there for several years to perfect her craft by making wine for Simon Gilbert Wine Services.
Winning the prestigious Winemaker of the Year Award at a relatively young age and after only six years as a winemaker is certainly a testament to Sue-Ann's skill and craftsmanship.
I congratulate Sue-Ann Staff and Pillitteri Estates Winery, and I say well done.
Aboriginal Affairs

Canadian Alliance
Brian Pallister Portage—Lisgar, MB
Mr. Speaker, they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The first nations governance act is another in a series of well meaning federal government initiatives that would not work.
The species at risk legislation would not work to protect species because it does not show respect for landowners. The animal cruelty act would not protect animals because it does not show respect for farmers. The first nations governance act would not work either because it does not respect Canada's aboriginal peoples.
The consultation process was designed to circumvent democratically elected first nation leaders, and the participation rates were abysmal. The act would not address the principal concerns of the Canadian Alliance and aboriginal peoples such as health care, poverty, housing and economic development.
The Liberals love bureaucracy, and if one loves bureaucracy one will love this act. However if one is really interested in building a partnership that respects the priorities of aboriginal Canadians and non-aboriginal Canadians alike, this act is a road to nowhere.
Government of Quebec
Statements By Members

Yvan Loubier Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Government of Quebec once again demonstrated its lead position in North America as far as social policy is concerned, by introducing an anti-poverty bill and action plan that reflect the wishes of a determined community.
Having cleaned up public finances and passed anti-deficit legislation, the Parti Quebecois government has completed the cycle of the collective and profound wish of Quebecers to live in a society that is financially healthy, one with equal opportunity for all, and compassion for its least advantaged members.
Quebec can be proud of the steps it has taken to battle the deficit and create this safety net: $5 a day daycare, indexed social assistance. Now it can be prouder still of this masterpiece: a stringent and stimulating anti-poverty bill.
Congratulations to Bernard Landry, who committed himself to battle poverty as far back as his Verchères speech. Bravo to Linda Goupil and the Parti Quebecois government.
First Capital Day
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
John Godfrey Don Valley West, ON
Mr. Speaker, as you so well know, when tracing the history of our great nation one of the key dates that deserves attention is June 15, 1841, the day on which the first parliament of the united provinces of Canada was opened by Governor General Lord Sydenham in Kingston, Ontario.
One hundred and sixty-one years later Canada has given Kingston this attention by recognizing it as Canada's first capital, and June 15 is officially celebrated in Kingston as First Capital Day.
Shortly after the union of Canada in February, 1841 a large building originally commissioned as a hospital was rented out to the new Government of Canada to house the legislative council and the legislative assembly. Eventually, however, Kingston's insufficient number of office buildings forced parliament to move to Montreal where it opened on November 28, 1844.
I congratulate Kingston on this celebration and invite all Canadians who take pride in our past to visit this historic first capital on June 15. I expect to see you there, Mr. Speaker, leading the parade.

Carol Skelton Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar, SK
The Shawinigan sidewinder strikes again.
Early in 2000 when decent Canadians were embracing the new millennium and their promises of self improvement it was bad business as usual for the Liberals. An internal audit of public works revealed the next 1,000 years would be like the last 100 with Liberals bilking taxpayers to enrich cronies and supporters.
Red flags went up and the Prime Minister sent his most trusted advisers to bury it. A sanitized version went on the Internet and the Prime Minister breathed easy knowing he could campaign with no worry about a scandal with his fingerprints all over it. He could have put an end to that terrible waste of public money. He could have said "Stop, because it stinks to high heaven". Instead he scuttled for cover and let the torrent of dollars continue to flow to cronies and supporters.
What are we witnessing today? A government in meltdown led by a Prime Minister who had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing but chose not to.

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize the award winning efforts of Mr. David Margolis of Winners Canada in Mississauga.
As this year's winner of the Distinguished Canadian Retailer of the Year Award this retailer has demonstrated outstanding leadership in both the business and public sectors. The Retail Council of Canada presents the award annually to a retailer who has a key role in the local community.
Giving back to the community has always been a personal and corporate priority for Mr. Margolis and Winners Canada, so it is with great pleasure that I rise today to congratulate both Mr. Margolis and Winners Canada on their accomplishments.
Disability Tax Credit

June 13th, 2002 / 2:05 p.m.
Peter Stoffer Sackville—Musquodoboit Valley—Eastern Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, I would like to reiterate to the House before it rises that one of the most despicable acts the government has ever performed on the people of Canada is the attack on those most vulnerable in our society: people who claim the disability tax credit.
Last September over 106,000 Canadians received a shock in the mail when double amputees, people who are deaf, people who are blind and people with severe disabilities were told they had to go back to their doctors to prove that indeed they were missing their legs, they were still blind or they were still deaf so the government would not take away their small disability tax credit that is a maximum of $960.
Shame on each and every Liberal government member for attacking the most vulnerable in our society.
Award Winners at Gala des Mercuriades
Statements By Members

Diane Bourgeois Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, at the recent gala des Mercuriades, two municipalities from my riding particularly distinguished themselves.
I want to congratulate the City of Boisbriand for being named the 2002 City of the Year. Mayor Robert Poirier, his administrators and the residents of Boisbriand have every reason to be proud of this honour.
Even though they are very affected by the upcoming closure of the GM plant, all are making huge efforts to maintain their town's excellent financial situation and to ensure an enviable quality of life.
I also want to mention that the town of Rosemère distinguished itself by winning the "Coup de coeur" award for its taxation system.
Mayor Deschênes was able to manage efficiently the municipality's finances, thus maintaining one of the best taxation levels in Quebec.
The Bloc Quebecois sends its warm congratulations to those who are responsible for these successes, and it is very honoured to represent them in the House of Commons.
Windsor, Nova Scotia

Scott Brison Kings—Hants, NS
Mr. Speaker, as early as 1800 the game we now know as hockey was played in Windsor, a town in Canada's oldest province of Nova Scotia.
The Kingston, Ontario based Society for International Hockey Research which meets annually in that central Canadian city released a report yesterday to refute Windsor's legitimate claim as hockey's birthplace. It is wrong, and its anger at Windsor's legitimate claim is a poor reason to issue a study that the organization itself concedes is both unfinished and does not represent the full story.
Windsor residents Mayor Anna Allen, historian Garth Vaughn, and hockey enthusiast Howard Dill welcome all Canadians to visit their town and the Windsor Hockey Heritage Centre to view for themselves the substantial evidence supporting Windsor's claim.
From Canada's first college to the oldest continually operating agricultural fair in North America, to the home of the father of North American humour himself, Thomas Haliburton, Windsor is the town of big firsts including the birthplace of Canada's number one pastime: hockey.
Firearms Registration
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Garry Breitkreuz Yorkton—Melville, SK
Mr. Speaker, access to information documents show that the justice minister has already privatized the gun registry and has spent more than $17.6 million in the process.
Documents show that BDP Business Data Services Limited has been processing firearms licences for two years and gun registrations for at least the last six months. This despite the fact that the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has still not completed his investigation into the privacy implications of the government's privatization plans for the Canadian firearms program.
The justice minister said privatization would improve services, but since BDP became involved in July of 2000 the number of firearms licences issued with the wrong photograph increased from zero in 1999 to hundreds in the last two years, a dramatic increase.
What happened to the justice minister's claims that the gun registry was working well and his promise of offering very good services through privatization? That is certainly not happening.
Figure Skating
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Hélène Scherrer Louis-Hébert, QC
Mr. Speaker, today, I want to pay tribute to the Canadians who proposed changes to the figure skating judging system. These changes were approved by the International Skating Union, at its congress meeting in Japan, from June 2 to June 6, 2002.
Major questions were raised regarding the judging of figure skating competitions, and we are pleased that Canadians played a key role by proposing solutions that will improve the sport and allow all Canadians to compete in a fair and just context.
We all remember the incident at the Salt Lake City Olympic Games, which resulted in medals being awarded to Canada following protracted appeals, and in response to public outcry over the conduct of figure skating judges.
We hope that, following the most recent proposals adopted by the International Skating Union, our athletes and all the athletes of the world will be able to take part in fair competitions and be judged on their sport achievements.
Once again, I congratulate the Canadian Figure Skating Association for the key role that it played in proposing such solutions.

Grant Hill Macleod, AB
Mr. Speaker, the ethics counsellor was surprisingly candid today in committee. He plainly stated that he is powerless, that the Prime Minister's actions when he contacted the BDC president were outside the new guidelines and that these new guidelines had no impact whatsoever on the ethical problems that the government has been under for the last two months.
Why is the Prime Minister paralyzed and cannot give us an ethics commissioner who reports to parliament which he promised?

Mr. Speaker, I am surprised that the first words out of the hon. member's mouth are not an apology for the outrageous accusations made yesterday that somehow or other the property at Harrington Lake was misused. After a cheque, I might add cashed, has been made public for $20,000 to compensate the NCC for the use of that property, I cannot believe the deafening silence from the Alliance Party for not getting up and apologizing. Day after day they make these outrageous--

Morning Briefing: 10 Things You Should Know
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Here are 10 things you should know for Monday, July 15:
1. -- U.S. stock futures were pointing to gains on Wall Street Monday despite a slowdown in China's economic growth.
China's economy in the second quarter grew 7.5% from a year earlier; in the previous quarter, growth was 7.7%.
Asian stocks finished Monday's session with gains. China's Shanghai Composite Index rose 1% to close at 2,059.39. Markets in Japan were closed for a public holiday.
European stocks were rising.
2. -- The economic calendar in the U.S. Monday includes retail sales for June at 8:30 a.m. EDT, the Empire State Manufacturing Index for July at 8:30 a.m., and business inventories for May at 10 a.m.
3. -- U.S. stocks on Friday ended with gains as strong earnings offset soft economic data.
The S&P 500 gained 0.31% to hit an all-time closing high at 1,680.19. The index gained 2.96% for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.02% to 15,464.30. The blue-chip index increased 1.07% for the week. The Nasdaq closed up 0.61% to 3,600.08. The tech-heavy index rose 3.47% last week.
4. -- Citigroup
Citigroup's earnings will be released at 8 a.m.
5. -- Apple
The iPod and iPhone maker has begun hiring "aggressively" for the project in recent weeks, people familiar with Apple's plans for the wearable device told the newspaper.
The move by Apple shows it has stepped up development but indicates the project involves "hard engineering problems that they've not been able to solve," one source said.
AT&T will pick up Leap's Cricket brand and about 5 million subscribers on its CDMA network, under Friday's proposed deal.
Leap shares closed at $7.98 a share on Friday, but soared in after-hours trading to $17.31.
7. -- Hedge fund Starboard Value LP, which owns a big stake in Smithfield Foods
Smithfield agreed in May to be bought by Shuanghui for $34 a share, or $4.7 billion.
Starboard said last month it had taken a 5.7% stake in Smithfield.

Are we green enough?
Where are the conservationists, naturalists and environmentalists in Pittsford? Well-hidden, that's for sure. I've talked to Historic Pittsford, the Town, the Village, residents who know and are part of the history of Pittsford, and, so far, after two months of calling, questioning, searching — I haven't found a single current green initiative.
Maria Radzinski told me about a big push to protect farmland in Pittsford in the 90′s launched by the Green Belt Association which saved local farmland by purchasing development rights. "The Town of Pittsford and its residents kept farming local before it was fashionable," says Radzinski. "The Sweeney Farm Market, Powers Farm Market and Hopkins Farm Market wouldn't be here today if the Town hadn't purchased the land rights." Radzinski was an active member of Green Belt in the late 80′s and early 90′s until her work schedule no longer allowed time to volunteer.
Mary Menze, a board member of Historic Pittsford remembers the Green Belt Association. A farm girl, she and generations of her family, called the Village home. It was where she grew up, went to school, attended church. She agrees that the efforts of Green Belt and the Town to retain agricultural land were essential to preserving the historic heritage and character of the Village. Her family owned Knickerbocker Farm.
Paul Schenkel, Commissioner of Public Works for the Town, told me about a retrofit project initiated by the Town of Pittsford's Green Committee to replace lights in town facilities with more energy efficient lighting. The project included replacing frigs and water fountains in town buildings and parks.
According to Schenkel, the Town recycles lawn debris that it generates–another plus for the environment. The Town has five active parks, some passive parks and a trail network. Natural resources abound here. "We have some very mature green space in the Town," notes Schenkel. I learned from Schenkel that Pittsford is exempt from notifying residents when pesticides are used.
All in all, it seems the environment is a mere footnote in our town these days. Why is that?
Becoming complacent about environmental issues opens the door to pollution. Clean air, clean water, good land, the preservation of natural resources–all are essential to a better quality of life.
To Dorothy at Historic Pittsford, and all the volunteers there who contribute their time and effort to the historic preservation of the Village, thank you for your years of volunteering.
To the rest of us–who care about the environment but don't know where to begin, let's get started. Other nearby towns have some great models Pittsford can emulate and environmental leaders who are ready to share their ideas. I ask you, with all the issues facing our environment today, are we green enough?
If you're working on environmental issues in Pittsford, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Out of your entire list, I think the demographic he's dealing with (close to an urban area, but still suburban, lot's of pizza places, but not that many WFOs) would be the closest to yours. You might want to give him a call. I think you'd be far enough away to not pose a threat to his business.We haven't broached this subject yet, but, after looking at pizzerias in my area recently, I noticed there were a few WFO places. I think it might be worth mentioning, that, thanks to some WFO joints that run their ovens low and/or don't know how to use them, the public may not respond as favorably to the WFO branding as you might think.

We've created a decaffeinated version of our popular Earl Grey that has all the rich flavor with less than 6 mg of caffeine per cup (compared with 40 mg for our regular Earl Grey and 90 mg in a cup of coffee). Stash Decaf Earl Grey is made with naturally decaffeinated black teas using a completely natural European process which removes 99. 5% of the caffeine but retains all the flavor, color and aroma of the tea.
Earl Grey is a black tea flavored with bergamot, an oil extracted from a pear-shaped Mediterranean citrus fruit about the size of an orange. Our Decaf Earl Grey is a versatile tea, at its best in the afternoon or after dinner. It brews a beautiful amber cup with a distinctive flavor and lightly fragrant aroma. Delicious plain, this tea may also be served with sugar and milk. Plus it makes a wonderful, refreshing iced tea.
We actively maintain signed statements from our ingredient suppliers stating that all ingredients purchased by Stash Tea Company are gluten-free. We do not use barley malt in any of our blends.
Since 1972, Stash has been dedicated to providing premium quality teas. Our passion for quality teas is unmatched. We source from premier tea gardens, sampling hundreds of teas but selecting only a handful for our customers. We search for unique, often rare - and above all, exceptional - teas to share with you. For our herbal and flavored blends, we buy whole herbs and spices from the world's best sources and, for superior flavor, mill them right before blending.
Suggested Use
To savor the full flavor of our teas, bring fresh water to a rolling boil. Pour hot water directly over the tea bag in a pre-heated pot or cup. Brew 3-5 minutes or to desired taste. One tea bag makes 8 ounces of hot tea. For iced tea, brew double strength.
Other Ingredients
100% Natural Ingredients
Naturally decaffeinated black teas and oil of bergamot.

Topic: Problem using a one-to-many relationship
I have a problem using a one-to-many relationship in my ruby code.
Yes, I have searched through this forum and many others to get the exact changes I need to make to my code to get the whole thing working but could not find a correct one to go with.
Here is my set up so far -
1. Have 2 models - person and role. The person and role have a many-to-one relationship with the person.role_id pointing to role.id.
2. Made changes in the two models like this.
person.rb ---> belongs_to :role.role_id;
role.rb --->has_many :person;
3. I want to show the roles when creating a person, so I added this code in my _forms.rhtml of person view.

Role

@roles = Role.find(:all, :order => "id")
collection_select(:role, :name, @roles, :id, :name)
4. The drop down appears all right, but when creating a person, the role_id goes as NULL so i am not able to associate a person to a role.
Any ideas on what else I should be doing to get this working.?

Hidden Springs
- State Forest
R.R. 1, Box 200
Strasburg, IL 62465
Hidden Springs State Forest (formerly known as Shelby State Forest) consists of approximately 1,200 acres of land near Clarksburg, 10 miles southeast of Shelbyville.
History The name Hidden Springs was selected to designate this particular state forest because of the seven known springs on the property which were used for drinking water by the early settlers. Over the years these springs have been covered over by natural situation and vegetation (hence the name "Hidden Springs"). Rocky Spring and Quicksand Spring have access trails.
The entire forest area was originally planned as a state lake. These plans were altered when the construction of Shelbyville Reservoir began. The property was then assigned to the Division of Forestry in 1960 to be managed as a state forest. Following reorganization of the department in 1975 the property was reassigned to the Division of Land and Historic Sites. The area continues to be managed under the concept of multiple-use --- sound timber and resource management complimented by compatible recreational opportunities.
Terrain The forest ownership consists of three separate tracts covering portions of eight sections of land. The terrain varies from flat bottomland areas along Richland Creek (which flows diagonally from northeast to southwest the entire length of the forest) to relatively steep hillsides. Generally the topography is gently rolling and broken by small draws and streams.
Trees Native trees in the forest include white, red, black, bur, post, pin, shingle and chinquapin oaks; ash; hickory; sugar maple; sycamore; silver maple; black walnut; and cottonwood. Plantations of native and introduced species include white, red and scotch pine; red cedar; sweet gum, butternuts; tulip poplar; black locust; and cottonwoods. In addition, many other shrubs and minor individual species of trees are located throughout the forest.
A white pine and a scotch pine seed orchard are managed for the production of superior seed for use at the state tree nurseries. White pine coves are collected in August before the cones open and the seeds are allowed to fall out. Volunteer groups help collect scotch pine cones during the fall. Many different types of seeds and nuts are collected throughout the forest and sent to the state nurseries for processing and planting.
Thinning of some of the many pine plantations has begun, with the thinned areas being used for wildlife food and cover plantings. Eliminated trees are "chipped" and the shredded wood is spread on the forest trails. A demonstration pine management area shows the desired thinning and pruning process to be carried out in the pine plantations.
Management aims also include the growing of hardwoods, such as oak and black walnut. A forest improvement demonstration area shows the types of trees which would be removed in properly managed woodlands. Several areas are being managed for black walnut production using corrective pruning and vegetation control. Six experimental burn plots are maintained to show the effects of woods fire.
Some of the forest property, when first acquired, showed the detrimental effects of erosion. Immediate steps were initiated to reduce the ravages to the topsoil. Reforestation, terracing, grass seeding, sodding and toe wall construction are practices in use at Hidden Springs to stabilize the soil. Close cooperation with the Soil Conservation Services technical personnel has been beneficial.
Picnicking Rolling Meadows picnic area offers a large shelter, drinking water, playground equipment, privies, tables, stoves and a fire ring. Red Bud Lane, on the south end of this area, provides three small secluded sites. A small picnic area at the Big Tree has tables and stoves.
Camping Reservations are accepted. Possum Creek, a Class "C" campground, includes drinking water, privies, sanitary disposal station, pedestal stoves, fire blocks and a fire ring. Campers may set up camp on the site of their choice. Forest staff issue permits on routine rounds. Shady Grove Campground accommodates groups by reservation only. Ground fires in both areas are allowed only in the fire rings provided.
Fishing Five fishing ponds, two accessible by vehicle, the other three by foot only, are found on the forest property. Fish stocked are bass, bluegill, redear and channel catfish. Richland Creek flows the length of the forest but fishing opportunities are negligible. Swimming anywhere on forest property is strictly prohibited.
Hiking Possum Hollow Nature Trail, 3/4 mile in length, provides access to Park Pond and the pine seed orchard. Trail guides, available at the headquarters, campground, and picnic area, guide the visitor to the 35 interpretive stations. The Big Tree Trail, one mile in length, features a sycamore 78 inches in diameter, one of the largest to be found in Illinois. Rocky Spring Trail, three miles in length, includes Rocky Spring, a forest improvement area, walnut production areas and varied land and vegetation types. Seventeen miles of fire lanes also provide access to remote areas of the forest. Your cooperation in keeping both motorcycles and horses off foot trails and fire lanes is appreciated.
A pleasurable and peaceful forest environment awaits the visitor. A bird check list is available at the headquarters to those who come to enjoy the many songbirds on the area. Flowers and mushrooms grow prolifically throughout the forest.
Except for the 240 acres where the headquarters, campground and Rolling Meadows picnic area are located, the entire area is open to hunting. Only shotgun and bow and arrow are permitted. Hunting fact sheets and maps concerning species and times are available at 10 hunter parking lots or the forest headquarters. Hunters are required to complete hunter survey cards for each hunting trip. Please consult the forest superintendent if in question about boundaries, hours, or any other aspect of the hunting program. Wildlife food plots, providing habitat for the varied wildlife population are scattered throughout the area.

Melissa Stockwell Blog - Opening Ceremonies on their way
Opening ceremonies are a month tomorrow. It set in a bit how close everything is when I was at home this weekend. When I said goodbye to people they were wishing me luck since I won't see them again till after the games. It is sooooo close I can't believe it. I am going to be ready. With a good taper I feel I could be ready now. I am just so excited and honored to be there in the first place I can't wait to see what will come of it all. It's bound to be something good.
This week has started off good. A few difficult practices but nothing extremely difficult yet. We'll see what the week brings.
The Opening ceremonies for the Olympic Games are this Fri and I am so excited to see them and to watch the competition. Watching trials pumped me up and got me even more excited and motivated than I already was and I know watching the Olympics will do the same plus some. My favorites to watch are gymnastics and obviously, swimming. There are bound to be a number of world records broken and my favorite part is the looks on their face when it happens. It's the look when you realize your time that says it all. That all the hard work and dedication paid off and that dreams really do come true. I can't wait for it.
You should all go to the website www.takepride.com and check out the t-shirt labeled 'Stronger'. Take Pride is an organization that makes shirts based on stories of soldier's coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan. They have many shirts that tell some awesome stories through the artwork on the shirts. This last shirt is my own, based on my story and has been in the works for a few weeks. I love the outcome and I, of course, think you should all buy one...:) 20% of the proceeds go to the Wounded Warrior Project which is an organization I am a big part of. I serve on the board of directors and they have helped me significantly in pursuit of my swimming goals. Check it out and let me know what you think, hopefully you like the t-shirt as much as I do.
I was in Chicago last weekend and it was absolutely fantastic. It was my husband and I's first time back in Chicago in over 2 months and we walked into an extremely hot house smelling of mustiness. After many hours it cooled off and we were able to clean it up, unpack and organize some things. It was so nice to be back in our house with all of our stuff and be together for a weekend. I have to admit that it is hard to come back to the OTC and my dorm room after being back there. It makes me realize how much I have to come back to after Beijing. First and foremost, my husband Dick, but just the comforts of home and getting back into work and being able to hang out with our Chicago friends...it is something I am looking forward to. That being said, I am so happy that things have turned out the way they have. I was hesitant to leave Chicago and come out here back in Jan. but looking back I wouldn't have it any other way. Just goes to show that sometimes you got to take a chance on something and hope it turns out for the best.
I saw this quote the other day and I love it. It says:
"There's no tomorrow, there's no next week, there's no next season; IT'S ONCE EVERY 4 YEARS"
And every 4 years it is....
Hopefully you will all watch the opening ceremonies and be as glued to the TV as I will be once they start.

Though the influence of hellish cowboys like the late Dimebag Darrell looms large down South, it ain't all squealing monster truck riffs in the former Confederacy. Some Southern bands prefer the slow churn of doom metal.
For instance, Pallbearer, the Arkansas combo that invades Ace of Cups this Thursday, applies haunting vocals and spiraling guitar harmonies to the glacial proceedings. On their new "Sorrow and Extinction" LP, they prove that doom doesn't have to mean unapproachable molasses, using the genre as a launchpad for new adventures in hi-fi.
Royal Thunder and Before the Eyewall round out the bill.

Advanced Micro Devices and Havok, a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel Corp., said that they would collaborate to optimize Havok physics engine for AMD's x86 microprocessors as well as investigate possibilities to optimize the engine for the company's ATI Radeon graphics processing units (GPUs).
"As the complexity and visual fidelity of video games increases, AMD wants to take advantage of opportunities to improve the game experience. By working with the clear market leader in physics software, AMD can optimize our platforms to consistently deliver the best possible visual experience to the gamer," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager of graphics products group at AMD.
As part of the collaboration, Havok and AMD plan to further optimize the full range of Havok technologies on AMD x86 superscalar processors. The two companies will also investigate the use of AMD's massively parallel ATI Radeon GPUs to manage appropriate aspects of physical world simulation in the future.
Previously,, when Havok was an independent company, a special physics effects engine called Havok FX that could compute physics on graphics processors was in-development. However, when Intel acquired Havok, the development of Havok FX was stopped and the solution is not mentioned on the company's web-site anymore.
"The feedback that we consistently receive from leading game developers is that core game play simulation should be performed on CPU cores. The clear priority of game developers is performance and scalability on of the CPU. Beyond core simulation, however, the capabilities of massively parallel products offer technical possibilities for computing certain types of simulation. We look forward to working with AMD to explore these possibilities," said David O'Meara, managing director of Havok.
Earlier this year graphics chip designer Nvidia Corp. acquired Ageia, another developer of physics engines, with the aim to redesign its software and enable computing of physics on GPUs.

I know that rinsing pu-erh is mandatory, what about whites?
I have some high grade white in the fridge which I do not rinse because the vendor told me it was unnecessary.
However, I have a large bag of lower grade Bai Mudan which I rinse quickly.It is a rougher and fuller brew with black, more broken leaves and a fair amount of silvery tips which I drink on a everyday basis. Pour in, pour out hot water immediately before first infusion.
I do think it improves the first infusion but is it a waste?

Size & Fit Details
Slim vintage oxford shirt in white
Slim vintage oxford shirt in white is rated out of 5 by 7.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeff from A high-quality classic Oxford shirts (especially in light blue or white) are a classic, ubiquitous shirt. It's an essential item for those who prefer their casual wear to be more than just a t-shirt and J.Crew separates itself from other stores by creating a pretty high-quality shirt at an affordable price (aka, when there's a 30% off sale).

Rated 5 out of 5 by SkinnyGuy62 from Why have I not discovered these before!?! What an awesome shirt!!! This slime fit Oxford is exactly the kind of shirt I can dress up for any weekend night out,dress down for the day off,or layer up for a cool look at work! The fabric is sturdy,but not too thick...so it breathes well and can be layered with other things and not be to bulky. The trimmed down slim fit keeps the traditional Oxford style,but makes it a more modern fit with it being slimmer through the body and arms. I plan to buy a LOT of these in many colors...Thanks J Crew!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Justin from It's pretty good The color of white is not too bright and the fit is ok as well.
Date published: 2015-01-18
Rated 4 out of 5 by J2theCrew from Decent OCBD While it is "cut more narrowly," if you stick with your charted J. Crew size, i.e., don't size down, this will give you a trim but comfortable fit. I'm 6.1, 190 pounds, and the Large is perfect. Trim but comfortable, with just enough room in the chest and waist so that the shirt not only looks good when I'm standing but also lets me breathe when I sit or bend down. Fabric and details, like the buttons, seem to be good quality. I only wish the collar were a little bigger and had more of a roll.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MossyLawn from Love The Vintage Oxford Shirts While these are cut for men, I wear them slightly oversized with jeans, cardigans and necklaces. I love the thick, nubby fabric of the Men's oxford shirts.

Rod Machado's discussion of listening to ATC and ATIS reminded us that we get many, many questions from student pilots about talking on the radio. So that's why we posed the following question in the April Flight Training: How comfortable are you when communicating with ATC?
If our poll results can be extrapolated, many of us are comfortable in the ATC environment–but only because we train or fly in the system regularly. A good many of us are still struggling to sound like Joe Cool, and some of us won't talk to ATC at all. Here's how things stacked up:
- 50 percent of respondents to the poll said they train at a towered field, so they're OK.
- 25 percent said they stumble on the radio.
- 19 percent said they fly out of a nontowered field, but their communication skills are OK.
- And 6 percent said they don't talk to ATC.
- Listen to the pros. Use LiveATC to listen in to any number of airports big and small. (A feed for our own homedrome, KFDK, was just added!) Alternatively, a sunny afternoon and a bench at the airport with a handheld transceiver can be a great way to spend your afternoon and pick up communications tips. If you can, ride along with a pilot friend. Don't do anything in the right seat except focus on how he or she talks on the radio.
- Understand what you're trying to communicate, and why. Bob Gardner's Say Again, Please, is one of the best books available to help you with this. It's available at many aviation retailers. ASA also sells a companion tutorial that can be played on a computer or MP3 player. The Air Safety Institute's Say It Right: Mastering Radio Communication is a FREE interactive online course. (It does use Flash.)
- Practice, practice, practice. You can go whole-hog with something like Comm1's VFR Radio Simulator, which lets you practice dialogue using a headset and your computer (and is a very neat program that's been on the market quite a few years). Or you can keep it simple by practicing your radio calls in the car or in the shower. I'm told that you might accidentally tell your spouse that you're turning base when you crank the steering wheel in the car toward the driveway.
What did we leave out? Share your best tips for improving your radio technique in the Comments section.
"Since You Asked" polls appear monthly in the digital edition of Flight Training. If you'd like to switch your magazine from paper to digital at no additional charge, go here or call Member Services 800-USA-AOPA weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern.—Jill W. Tallman

First Time Bike Riders in Sunriver
Back in 1968, the developers of Sunriver Resort wanted to create a resort community that discouraged auto travel and encouraged folks to get on their bikes. 35 miles of paved, level bike paths wind through Sunriver's 3,300 acres and for decades bikes have been the preferred method of transport. It's no wonder why so many kids come to Sunriver to learn to ride. Below are some first time biking stories from Sunriver visitors.
Robin Domogalla Miller - "My youngest son learned to ride his bike there. The street used to be called Squaw Mountain. He had broken his leg in three places the summer before and he was so scared to try because he didn't want to break his leg! After much encouragement, he rode around and around the cul-de-sac, with everyone watching and cheering him on!"
Julia Lewis Hilbun - "In 1976ish I learned how to ride a 3 speed bike in SR. My first experience w/hand brakes. I remeber that yellow bike well. We had a vaca house at #3 Little Court Lane and used to love to ride thru the tunnels to the mall and the pool."
Missy White - "33 years ago my parents said I had to learn how to ride my bike if I wanted to take it to Sunriver. Well I didn't learn before we left but I got to bring it anyway. My older sister took me out on a trail near the stables and I rode that bike for the first time!"
Stephanie Morlan-Haaland - "Our now 7 year old learned to ride on the trails from circle 10 to the north pool! We plan to teach our 5 year old on those same paths this summer!"
Laura Devin - "Both of my kids, now age 12 and 8, learned to ride their bikes in SR...the culdesac and bike paths are wonderful for learning to ride without training wheels."
Karen Kelley Mares - "I learned to ride my bike in Sunriver without training wheels in 1977 at Meadow House #33. Our daughter learned to ride her bike in 2008 on the circle on Spyglass Lane. Sunriver is the perfect place to learn to ride."

Bartender by Araki Joh & Kenji Nagatomo
Summary from Wikipedia:
Bartender follows the nightlife of Ryū Sasakura, a bartending prodigy who is said to mix the best cocktails anyone has ever tasted. Sasakura bides his time in a bar named Eden Hall, hidden in a nook of the Ginza district in downtown Tokyo. It is said that normal people cannot simply find and enter Eden Hall, but they must be invited in by the host. Over the course of the anime, various figures of high and low stature, all of who share unusual troubles and heavy burdens, are "invited" into Eden Hall and are treated to Sasakura's fine drinks, which, with guidance from the young bartender, lead the customers to reflect on their lives and decide on a course of action to tackle with their problems.__________________________________________________ ________
Hey, did a quick search and nothing came up.
Has anyone read the manga here. I've only seen a couple of the anime episodes and think it looks alright. I've looked for the manga to see what thats like. Yet to see it in a shop, also haven't managed to find downloads to scanlations / seen a lot of dead links. Just wondering on anime/manga differences, the anime is 11 eps and the manga is 11 volumes ongoing so i imagine theres a lot more in the manga and whether anyone else liked it?

So what if you're deathly allergic to soy? Most of these recipes call for soy-based meat substitutes.
Organic TVP granules make a great less expensive and safer substitute for veggie crumbles. It is textured vegetable protein and can be purchased as a dry shelf staple item and sold in bulk in a lot of places. You add water to it and your seasonings that you would put in taco meat and it makes a vegan alternative to traditional taco meat. I have served it to unsuspecting meat eaters for years and never had an issues. I plan on making this over the weekend. It sounds great.
I like the canned version. I don't have the time to "Swiss Family Robinson" everything, and at least the fuzzy animals were left out of the equation. Good work PETA
My family enjoyed this recipe. I used low sodium beans and taco seasoning and Daiya cheddar. I served this with fresh guacamole and sliced black olives. Looking forward to having leftovers for lunch today. This recipe says 6 servings but I would say there are 8-10 large servings. When I make this again I will leave out the burger crumbles or use tempeh due to personal preferences.
Blech. When a recipe mentions an actual brand name you know how it is being funded. Meh. I came here looking for vegan recipes, not synthetic sludge from a can that corporate america calls food. Yes that may sound harsh but it's not like anyone from PETA will actually read this and offer recipes from real whole actual foods that are comprised of one ingredient foods like corn. or corn and salt. not freaking fritos.
Great Recipe! Most of my non-vegan family loved it and so did my neighbor and her kids. Found out recently I'm allergic to dairy and eggs and that started my re-education of nutrition and a move to vegan eating. I prefer a whole foods, plant based, tons of veggie diet but this was a good "comfort/convenience" food recipe or good for those just giving up meat and need a great replacement. Definately read lables as several meatless products do contain egg or dairy. 🙂
Morningstar also admits to using GMOs in their food. Perhaps using another brand of crumbles or use beans only.
A few things weren't clear, which I'll mention here in case it helps others: Should vegetarian crumbles be frozen, thawed, or prepped according to Taco Seasoning instructions? (I used them frozen.) The corn tortillas are the small size. The recipe instructions say "a handful of green onion," which didn't indicate if this was all or only some of the two that were chopped. (I put them all in at that point.) Also, there are four instances of the enchilada sauce, so I put in 1/4 can each time. Took 60 minutes in my oven. The serving size is large. This is a tasty recipe!
Sign me up
I was expecting a more friendly recipe, but everything is processed and canned. My alternative to make this recipe more healthy is replace the vegetarian burger crumbles with potato. A homemade enchilada salsa is easy to do: green tomatoes and green chili and onion in the blender with some salt and water for green enchiladas. Cooking the beans yourself is a good idea too, best flavor, less salt.
Be sure and read the labels. Morningstar includes dairy in most of their crumbles: egg whites.

Many pet owners are ecstatic that the weather is warmer and their furry friends can play outside. However, it is important to remember the laws and regulations for pets that can impact your wallet along with your pooch. According to the Danvers Patch, dog owners should be aware of the local laws because they can be fined for simple things such as allowing your dog to go on a walk without a leash.
Several towns require that a resident registers their furry friend, and there is a licensing fee that goes with it. The animal control office can fine individuals if they jave a pet that has not been licensed. Also, in some parts of the U.S., people will have to pay $25 if their pooch is not on a leash. Bringing something to pick up after your four-legged companion often is required along with the proper vaccinations, according to the news source.
Each town and city has a different set of rules, and it is important to find out exactly what your town requires.
According to the ASPCA, all vaccinations are not required for each pooch or feline. Therefore, it is important for individuals to discuss vaccination options with their veterinarian. These doctors will be able to outline the proper and necessary vaccinations to ensure good pet health.

Patrons eat at a taco stand, as the body of a man lies on the pavement, in Ciudad Obregon August 10, 2010. According to local media, the man died after suffering a fatal heart attack. Picture taken August 10, 2010. REUTERS/Francisco Gonzalez Bolon/Expreso
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
The food must be REALLY good.
So much for human compassion.
No sense letting a good taco go to waste. The guy's already dead anyway.
That's messed up!
Well, at least they had the decency to throw a tablecloth over the poor stiff!
What's that spot by his head? Did the dying man drop his own taco on the sidewalk as he shuffled off this mortal coil?
The longer I live, the less I understand the disconnect/indifference to life that some have.
There has to be the lyrics to a song here somewhere.
They could have at least sat him up in a chair and made it look like he was enjoying a meal.
I don't know what Mexico has corresponding to the US "911" but maybe the medics came earlier, declared him good and dead, and covered the body up to await the arrival of a hearse.
When I kick the bucket, once the doctors have verified that saving my life would be impossible, I don't care if a crowd eats tacos around me. Shoot, share some tacos with the paramedics and the undertaker, too, my treat (I can't take it with me).
RIMMER and LISTER just stare at him.
CAT: (To LISTER) There's just no consoling him. (Leaves.)
Fatal heart attack caused by being shot thru the heart.
I thought of Fawlty Towers:
"I'm a doctor and I want my sausages!"
>> Whats that spot by his head?
I don't know, but that propane tank looks suspicious.
Welcome to Earth...
Third world culture. Ain't it wonderful? Can't see why anyone in the U.S. would object to it moving north...
I'd like to teach the world to die
As at this taco stand;
The peppers hot kill like a shot
And the meat's like rubber bands
I have seen the same thing in bars after shootings, the police will take care of the body but the rest of the people have to get back to their business.
Wastin' away in tacoville. Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, but I think, it's a burriot's fault..
'burrito's fault'
Strange people, strange culture.
Yeah, unfettered immigration from that country is a GREAT idea.
"Can I have the rest of that?..."
Coming to a taco hell near you.
Oh, c'mon. At least somebody didn't steal his shoes, that's progress.
Why is it there was a blood there? Did the person fell and hit the pave?
jeez... at least mop up the blood, some one might slip on it and sue!
To die for, dude. :-)
Reminds me of the punk band ,Fear"A man had a heart attack on the streets of Manhattan,he died there while we just stood there lookin at him.We didn't care"
The Trouble With Harry
If life is this cheap to average Mexicans on the street, just imagine how little it means to the "sociopaths" in their drug cartels, kidnapping rings, and government.
All coming soon, thanks to the sociopaths in our government, via reconquista to a state or city or neighborhood near you.
It's a nominally Roman Catholic society, with stress on the nominally.
Not everything goes better with a Coke.
But if he is dead what can be done? If it just happened moments earlier should everyone flee the scene, or should they say a prayer for the man and finish their food?
I once visited Cd. Obregon with an ex girlfriend who was from there. I may have dined there one evening.
The permanent pause that refreshes.
Actually, a similar thing happened in Tulsa a few months ago, only it was a Chicken Hut (near MLK Blvd.)
"Can I have the rest of that?..."
Sounds like the Benny Hill skit where the guy gets his food, looks at his watch, gets up and leaves, only to come back to find Benny eating his meal!
Thank you, thank you, thank you ~ yes, that is the solution to the conundrum ~ some gotta' eat and have short lunchbreaks, and yet he is dead.
I want to reconsider my thoughts on this one a bit.
Thanks for that Tulsa article. Man, what kind of people has this American society given birth to? This is damn scarey. It's like zombies have taken over human bodies.
Restrooms had to be checked nightly to be sure that no one had passed as they passed. Any stall door that remained closed too long was suspect and more than one geezer was interrupted in their struggles by well meaning welfare checks. Had to get em before rigor mortis set in in that position and a special casket required. The strain of their last mortal act sent them to the pearly gates in droves. Cause of death: cheese.
You're the first Red Dwarf fan I've ever encountered at FR.
On large (2K+ people) cruise ships it is not a rare occasion that someone's body needs to be put in an empty freezer until the ship returns to it's home port.
That explains the blood splatter...
Do they get at least a partial refund? I mean, a freezer ain't exactly first class.

Kulikowski: Boston Bombing Tests Corporate Sponsorships
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Are corporate sponsorships of big sporting events still worth it?
While federal authorities and the city of Boston still figure out exactly what happened at the Boston Marathon on Monday in which two explosions left three people dead and more than 100 injured, one has to wonder -- even in the early days -- is it worth it to be a backer of a big event when a major tragedy like this hits?
The bombing, which is now officially being treated as an "act of terrorism" by the Obama Administration, isn't exactly the kind of press a corporate sponsor wants at an event it's backing.
Major sponsors of the Boston Marathon include: John Hancock Financial, the event's longtime main sponsor and a division of Manulife Financial
So far there isn't much talk about corporate sponsors backing out - the corporate line from several companies was mainly of support, condolences and making sure their own employees at the event were accounted for and safe.
In fact, the high-profile marathon is likely to attract even more sponsors next year, if only to show their "support" to the city and the event itself, experts say.
"Will people come back next year
Longer term, without the proper security controls and contingency plans in place, companies are likely to take a closer look at the percentage of their ad budgets spent on major sponsorships, experts say.

Cassadaga Job Corps graduates embark on career pathway
CASSADAGA – The Cassadaga Job Corps Academy celebrated the achievement of 48 students who participated in commencement exercises on Wednesday afternoon at the Academy. The Academy gym was filled with jubilant family, friends and staff, many of whom supported the class along their journey to graduation.
While enrolled at the Academy the young men and women completed training to begin a career in healthcare or construction and many also earned their GED or high school diploma while there. Academy Director Ann Anderson greeted those in attendance and thanked the graduates and their families for their hard work, dedication and commitment to be successful.
Student Government Association President and member of the graduating class Shattiana Martin congratulated her classmates in her address. She asked that they continue to strive to be the best they can be and follow their hearts.
Acting as keynote speaker for this graduation ceremony was Mayor Anthony j. Dolce.
Dolce discussed his experience as a teacher, telling the class that "there are few better pleasures in life than receiving a good education, gaining a strong work ethic and sustaining the drive to always do better in life."
Dolce worked as an Academic Instructor at the Academy until he was elected mayor. He discussed his experience and reported that "I had the privilege of seeing what dedicated students can do when they put their minds to it. From a teacher's eyes I have seen you grasp new ideas, new systems of understanding and implement them in your life for the better. I have seen students come in with so little, and leave with so much."
He concluded by congratulating the class and wishing them luck on the road ahead.
Included in the commencement exercise were several awards and scholarships recognizing top performing students from all areas of the Academy. Recognized for top performance in Career Technical Training were Anthony Herrera, Carpentry; Matthew Saunders, CVS Pharmacy Technician; Jetta Moss, Certified Nurses' Aide; Shana Brown, Painting; Hector Martinez, Plumbing and Nicholas White, Electrical.
Students who are recognized for top performance in their trade are provided with a cash scholarship awarded by the Cassadaga Job Corps Community Relations Council. Jennifer Hazelton, academics manager, presented Ia Reh with overall top student for achievement in Academics while Lee Reh was awarded with the best overall student from the Social Development Department by Social Development Director Sylvia Swan.
Career Transition Services Manager Dayna Schultz recognized Hector Martinez for demonstrating outstanding employability skills.
The Good Citizen Award, presented by Academy Standards and Incentives Officer Richard Chase, was awarded to Shattiana Martin.
In 2012 the Academy saw 272 students depart with their diploma, training certificate or both. Students will enter the workforce, college, the military or a Job Corps Advanced Training program once they depart Cassadaga. Job Corps provides training with a focus on ensuring students develop both the technical ability as well as critical employability skills today's competitive workforce demands.
All students attend on a federal scholarship pending their eligibility as per Job Corps guidelines. While most students reside on campus local students may be considered for non-residential status.
For more information or to inquire about hiring Job Corps graduates please visit cassadaga.jobcorps.gov or call Adam Dolce, business and community liaison, at 716-595-4237.

Well at least we now know why Ken Block "just ain't care" about smashing up his Ford Fiesta rally car recently. It's because he's getting a full brand makeover including a new team name, new paint scheme and even a new headquarters. Formerly known as Monster World Rally Team, Block and his Fiesta will now be competing under the Hoonigan Racing Division name, which is based out of a new 12,000 square foot facility located in Park City, UT.

Tod Machover: …but not simpler…Posted by Jay Batzner in CD Review, tags: CD Review, chamber music, electronics, iO quartet, Jay Batzner, Michael Chertock, Odense Symphony, orchestra, Paul Mann, String quartet, Tod Machover
Odense Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Paul Mann
iO Quartet
Bridge Records
- Sparkler for orchestra and live electronics
- Interlude 1 – "After Bach"
- Three Hyper-Dim-Sums for string quartet
- Interlude 2 – "After Byrd"
- …but not simpler… for string quartet
- Jeux Deux for Hyperpiano and orchestra (Michael Chertock, Hyperpiano)
The intersection of music and technology is one that is constantly fraught with peril. The balance between these two elements is difficult and when both elements click some sublime music can be made. Tod Machover's career has been largely built through the application of technology onto musical environments (or the application of music onto technological environments). This disc shows that sometimes the balance is just right but sometimes technology can seem superfluous or, even worse, a detriment.
Sparkler is an appealing orchestral work that riffs on Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" with Coplandish harmonies and orchestration. The live electronics are balanced well in the orchestral textures but more often than not they are overshadowed by the colorful instrumentation Machover uses on his various gestures. I don't find that the usage of live electronics really enhances the piece to a point that they are wholly necessary.
The string quartet portion of the disc is very well handled. Two interludes, one based on Bach and the other on Byrd, are fixed media pieces meant to sound like an augmented string quartet. The textures to both of these pieces is interesting and each interlude matches up well with the following acoustic piece. The timbre of the instruments does have an edge to it that denies a purely acoustic origin. Instead of the thickening texture emerging as a surprise, an unexpected moment of "I thought I was listening to just four people," that virtual instrument sound serves as an aural obligation for the work to build into something that the performers alone could not create.
When Machover is entirely acoustic, the pieces work quite well. The 3 Hyper-Dim-Sums are charming miniatures for string quartet, played with vigor and nuance by the iO Quartet. …but not simpler… transitions beautifully from the Byrd interlude and continues to be colorful and engaging. Machover certainly knows color and he uses all means of string sounds in this floating 14 minute movement.
Jeux Deux, a three movement concerto for Hyperpiano and orchestra, has wit and energy about it but again the technology is more often a sore thumb than an ally. It could be that piano virtuosity has reached a state where I simply can't tell when the piano is using technology to supplement the performer but the times when the technology is ouvert, it is painfully so. Mechanical trills, devoid of humanity, are just irritating. The concept behind the piece, one that uses a computer to augment and enhance the piano's material in real time, is an intriguing one, but to my ears this is a case of the technological idea winning over the musical implementation.

Hooked on Hundreds - Page 2
What have you learned from racing so many back-to-back 100s this year?
I have learned that we can do so much more than we think. It is the hardest times in life we remember. A painful struggle can turn into a glorious victory if you are patient and believe in yourself.
How did you get into ultrarunning?
On a bus ride once, I overheard some people talking about ultras. At the time, I didn't even know what an ultra was. I became fascinated by these "people." I signed up for the Sunmart 50 Mile in Texas and ran it on very little training. During the last five miles, I cried and said, "No more ultras!" Six months later, I ran my first 100—and have never looked back.
What appeals to you about ultrarunning?
Ultrarunning appeals to me because I love being outside and moving my body. There is no greater feeling than to look ahead to a faraway mountain range, reach it, climb over it and look back at where you have been. Running is my passion, and being in the mountains is living.
How has trail running positively influenced your life?
Trail running has given me a greater appreciation of the beauty around me. I often refer to the woods as my church. It is where I feel most alive. Running also has given me a deeper understanding of how important our bodies are: strong yet extremely fragile. We must take care of them. Good health is a gift.
What is your diet like?
I like meat. I try to eat organic as much as possible, lots of fruits and vegetables. With all the travel this year, though, I must confess: I could have used a sponsorship from McDonald's or Dunkin Donuts! It was an expensive year so I had to cut back on expensive food.
Tell us about your life outside of running.
Scott and I live on my 55-acre farm with two horses and a dog. I have a small, close family consisting of my dad, step mom and brother; I lost my mom to cancer. I used to show horses (eventing), but now they are just family pets. I am also an avid sailor with a lifetime goal of acquiring a blue water boat and sailing to Europe. I grew up with boats. I actually lived on one for two years with my family. I also enjoy yoga and farm work.
Race plans for 2013?
To run a 72-hour race.

Hi all, I'm new to the forum but have been an I-Beam user for some years now since my Ibanez 12 string was fitted with the I-Beam system.
I know there are plenty of different pick-ups available but everybody is jealous of the sound from my 12 string when played through my PA system. I couldn't ask for a better sound.
Because of that I chose to install the I-Beam active in my Prudencio Saez classical and I'm elated with the result. Played through my Marshall AS50D amp it's true and mellow, and even better through the PA system.
However one thing I need to mention. We were just about to drill the hole for the end-pin jack when I realised that the jack plug would be directly in line with my inner thigh when playing in the classical position.
We drilled further around the body so the jack plug would be pointing at the floor between my legs and fitted a spacer/reinforcing block to hold the end-pin securely.
I'm just wondering if it would not be an idea for L R Baggs to advise potential users of this issue. Maybe some classical guitarists could manage the end pin but for me it would have been a disaster.

FORESTVILLE – An accident left one student dead, two injured and one in handcuffs. Luckily, it was a mock driving while intoxicated crash held at the Forestville Middle/High School and not a real crash.
The program, coordinated by Ron Hasson of Starflight and the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office STOP DWI program, was held for sophomores, juniors and seniors. Students saw a "program designed to be a clear reminder for each of you, as we enter our prom season, the realities of the dangers of impaired or unsafe driving," Principal Patrick Moses said. Students saw National Honor Society members act out three different scenarios following a prom.
Seniors Emily Dillenburg and Emily Gilman were grabbing items at home for a sleepover before meeting up with friends at a local restaurant. A group was already at the restaurant waiting for friends while others were playing a drinking game at a party. Senior Adam Pleva and Junior Jacob Nosbisch were seen leaving the party to purchase more beer. The skit ended with another group reaching the restaurant and wondering where Dillenburg and Gilman were. They decided the two girls must have gotten stuck in a detour for an accident.
Students were ushered outside to see the crash scene – a head-on collision between a car and a Jeep on Route 39 – staged in the back parking lot. Forestville Fire Department and Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office responded where Dillenburg and Gilman, who were in the car, were injured; Gilman was transported by Starflight and Dillenburg, the driver, was pronounced dead. Pleva, the other driver, was arrested for DWI. Nosbisch, his passenger, was extricated from the vehicle by the jaws of life and taken to the hospital. Dillenburg, who was pronounced dead by Coroner Warren Riles, was placed in a body bag and then into the back of a hearse. Students witnessed Pleva being arraigned by Hanover Town Justice Walter Klyczek. He was charged with DWI, speed not reasonable and prudent, unlawful possession of marijuana, failure to keep right and second-degree vehicular manslaughter. The maximum sentence is seven years in prison, or a $5,000 fine, but could be both in addition to five years probation. Bail was set at $10,000 cash or $20,000 property.
Mark Woolley of Riles and Woolley Funeral Home contacted Dillenburg's family to make arrangements. He suggested the family bring clothing with "long sleeves and have a high collar" due to injuries sustained. A service was held for Dillenburg; a casket with her softball jersey and glove laid on top was on the auditorium stage. Teacher Todd Langworthy has known Dillenburg her entire life and spoke of how those who knew her said "she was one of the happiest people that you ever met." A recorded message from Dillenburg said she will never get the chance to go to college or get married, now that a drunk driver took her life.
"I've always been daddy's little girl, now I'm daddy's little angel. Thank you for always protecting me … now I have the chance to protect you," Dillenburg said.
Sheriff Deputies Josh Ostrander and Thomas Delcamp spoke with the students about the fines and fees associated with a DWI charge and zero tolerance in the state. The fines and fees associated could cost several thousands of dollars, between bail, fees and fines, losing your license and lawyer fees. New York state has zero tolerance for anyone under 21; meaning no alcohol can be found in someone's system. Delcamp said impaired driving by alcohol, prescription drugs or other narcotics will be found by a blood or urine sample. Ostrander said any amount of drugs will impair someone's judgment.
More than one in four alcohol-related crashes are attributed to high-school-aged individuals. Many accidents related to alcohol involve missing curves or driver distraction, Delcamp said. Adding impairment by drugs or alcohol is increasing the risk of an accident. Ostrander said just one person in a car needs to step up and be a designated driver to prevent impaired driving crashes.
"Even in their slightest usage (drugs) start to diminish your ability to do divided attention tasks," Ostrander said.
Riles recounted his graduation night more than 50 years ago to students. Riles, who was working for a funeral director, wanted to go out with his friends to a party but his father had said no. Riles ended up at an accident to see his friend's vehicle had been involved in a train accident. Riles said the accident put a "dark cloud" on his class reunions for a long time.
Moses was proud of the students' reactions to the program, saying they took a lot away. Dillenburg is highly involved in school, is class president and is known by many, making it more personal. Many students had tears in their eyes by the end.
"Obviously the tighter (the class) … will have more of a personal impact, but how students interact with the program is the most important thing," he said.
Moses was thankful to everyone who was a part of the program, which was held prior to Forestville's prom being held Saturday.
"All of this wouldn't be possible without everybody who contributed and volunteered to make the day and the program really what it is. I'm just so thankful for everybody's time and efforts, both inside of the district and outside as well."
Others who helped with the program were Norm's Garage, which donated and towed the vehicles; Dave Rowley of WDOE, who recorded a newscast; Triple M Sound, which helped with music and effects, and students Emily Burgoes, who sang while Fabi Logan played piano.

In the fall and spring, the Office of Development comes alive each evening with the energy and excitement of students. Their mission is to increase Annual Giving participation among alumni, while also establishing ties with those who are not able to come back to campus. As a matter of fact, these students are the key element to increasing Annual Giving participation and to DSU's overall success.
When you are contacted, the student will first make sure that your mailing address (including e-mail) and employment information are correct, and then update you on any recent news or upcoming events on campus. The student will then ask for your support of this year's Annual Giving Drive. Your gifts help to support academic needs at the University, such as scholarships and special needs that benefit students, as well as provide support for DSU athletics. When you make a pledge by phone, you will receive confirmation by mail. You may designate the pledge to a particular program or fund if you so desire. Upon request, we will send you additional information. We hope that you will be able to participate and to ensure that DSU will maintain its reputation for academic excellence – now, and for future generations!
Our callers are committed to assisting us with maintaining and improving the DSU experience for current and future students. These students value the quality education that they receive at DSU, and they realize the life-long advantages that it provides. For this reason, our Phone-a-thon callers are not only contacting alumni to ask for support, but they are also calling to thank them for the great opportunities and experiences that they are receiving at DSU!

I like this better than the collagen powder products. I just add it to water and gulp it down. Just be aware that it doesn't dissolve very well, so if you have trouble swallowing you might want to look for another option.
Great powder, dissolves well.

I use this powder to make homemade jelly/gello without the nasties you get in the boxed stuff from the supermarket. I also use it to add to my homemade yogurt to thicken it up, plus in my daughters' homemade baby formula. Lots of uses!
