John Polidori (1795-1821) returns to England and prepares to meet his fate...
London, February 1821 John strode across the bustle of Piccadilly, the wide road alive with people even at this late hour. He was glad to turn his steps towards home and to disappear into the huddle of dark streets that was Soho. He felt more at ease here in the shadows than he did in the melee of the West End. There, flaming torches lit the way, gilding the streets with an orange glow...Read On

Two horny girls have a quickie in an alley on the way to a party.
It was 4 o'clock, and I was driving me and my girlfriend, Emily, through downtown to get to a party at a college friend's apartment. He lived about fifteen miles out from where we lived, out in the suburbs. He and I had known each other since high school, and he was the one who introduced me to Emily. He set up a date between us. I had worn my frilly blue blouse and a pair of skinny jeans. I...Read On

Thanksgiving will never be the same again.
I have always looked forward to Thanksgiving. It is a special time for our family. My wife and I have been married for ten years and every year, we always go to her family's house for Thanksgiving dinner. (We have Christmas at out house.) I like Thanksgiving, if for no other reason than I get to see family members we don't normally get to see but once a year, like my wife's younger...Read On

Trudy is an accommodating wife
'Was she any good?' It's four in the morning, and I watch my husband undress. Aaron has just arrived home and, momentarily, I feel sorry for him as he finds it impossible to look me in the eye. He drops his jeans to the floor, leaving them in a crumpled heap, and that will probably infuriate me in the morning. But, right now, his untidiness is irrelevant. I have other things to think...Read On

There's benefits to working with the one you love.
"Mhmm. Oh. Ahh, you feel so good. Keep fucking me." Amy had been fantasizing about having sex in the ambulance she ran. Now that her boyfriend, Kevin, was stationed with her, it was possible. Still, she worried her partner, or another firefighter, would catch them, but she decided it was worth the risk. Kevin grunted, pulled her close, and exploded deep inside of her. They quickly...Read On

June 23, 2008 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: Adjunct Eligibility Change- HDFS Screen- Important Announcement
SUBJECT 2: Local Agency Plan (LAP) Training and
District Meeting with the WIC Director Directions and Times
SUBJECT 3: Important Announcement - Morning Session of the June 2008 Program Updates Training Canceled
SUBJECT 4: Nutrition Education Opportunity
SUBJECT 5: Voter Registration Timelines
SUBJECT 6: Value Enhanced Nutrition Assessment (VENA) 3 Step Counseling Training in November
- Adjunct Eligibility Change- HDFS Screen- Important Announcement: A change will be coming soon regarding adjunct eligibility. Previously some children and infants with incomes above 185% of poverty would show on the HDFS, MCII and FAMIS screens as being adjunctly eligible because they were enrolled in Medicaid/MoHealthNet. Effective July 7, 2008 children and infants will show as being adjuntly eligible for WIC by virtue of being on Medicaid/MoHealthNet only if their incomes are at or below 185% of poverty. Also effective July 7, 2008 use only the HDFS screen to determine adjunct eligibility for Medicaid/MoHealthNet. Do not use the MCII or FAMIS screens to check for Medicaid/MoHealthNet enrollment. You may still use the MCII screen for Medicaid/MoHealthNet billing information and you may use FAMIS for determining adjunct eligibility for the participant from being on TANF or food stamps. Some children and infants who were previously adjunctly eligible for WIC services because they were receiving Medicaid/MoHealthNet no longer will be eligible effective July7.
The HDFS screen will be modified to show whether or not the participant is on Medicaid/MoHealthNet and is adjuntly eligible for WIC. The revised field will be labeled as "MOHEALTHNET" and the answer will be Yes or No. Yes means the participant is adjunctly eligible for WIC. No means the participant is not adjunctly eligible for WIC.
Example #1: The answer is no. This means the participant is not adjunctly eligible for the WIC program. Either the participant is not on Medicaid/MoHealthNet or the participant is on Medicaid/MoHealthNet but their income is greater than 185% of poverty or the participant has applied for Medicaid/MoHealthNet but their eligibility has not yet been determined.
Example #2: The answer is yes. This means the participant is on Medicaid/MoHealthNet. The income is equal to or less than 185% of poverty and the participant is adjunctly eligible for WIC.
If you have questions, contact Mark Davis at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-526-5323 or 800-392-8209.
- Local Agency Plan (LAP) Training and District Meeting with the WIC Director Directions and Times: Local Agency Plan (LAP) Training and District Meeting with the WIC Director is scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at each location. Remember this is a one day training we have for two days at each location to accommodate all the agencies in the area. We are excited about the new on-line WIC tool. State office staff will bring laptop computers for each agency to use; those attending from each agency will share this computer. You will not need to bring a laptop computer as many of you have done in the past.
The registration contact for LAP training is Jeannie Phelps, email@example.com or 573-526-5270 or 800-392-8209. For more information about LAP training contact Glenn Studebaker at email@example.com or 573-751-6198 or 800-392-8209.

- Important Announcement - Morning Session of the June 2008 Program Updates Training Canceled: The new WIC data system, MOWINS, will be unable to issue the new children's food packages by the pilot testing period this fall. Based on this development, we will not be implementing the new children's food package October 1, 2008 as previously planned. Based on this new information, the decision was made to cancel the morning session of the program updates training scheduled for June 10, 11, 12, 24, 25, and 27. Please note: Those agencies that have not implemented trimonthly check issuance are still required to attend the afternoon session to receive training on how to implement this program change effective October 1, 2008.
All individuals signed up for the remaining program updates training will be contacted by phone and email to let them know of this change. We deeply regret any inconvenience that this causes agencies. We did not know that the changes required for issuing the new food packages in MOWINS regardless of participant category are interrelated and cannot be made in time for us to implement the new children's food packages October 1, 2008.
The PowerPoint presentation of the USDA food packages information, which was included in the training, will be made available to all agencies for their use. We apologize for the short notice, but canceling training seemed better than having local staff spend time away from their agencies learning about program changes that may not be implemented until later next year. If you have any questions, please contact your district team or D'Anne Ward at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Nutrition Education Opportunity: WIC Registered Dietitians, Nutritionists, Registered Nurses, Certified Nurse Midwives, Nurse Practitioners, Physicians, and other Public Health Professionals who serve preconceptual, pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding women will want to take advantage of this two-day National Maternal Nutrition Intensive Course, shown by video stream on September 16-17, 2008 in Jefferson City. This year's continuing education program focuses on the improvement of maternal and infant health through the delivery of risk-appropriate high-quality nutrition services. This training is presented by the University of Minnesota's School of Public Health and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Bureau of WIC and Nutrition Services, Nutrition Training Institute. Also, sponsored by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration at the U.S. Department of Health and the Human Services and Food and Nutrition Service at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Please see the attached registration brochure for details or contact Michelle Nienhuis at 573-751-6244 or email@example.com.
- Voter Registration Timelines: The Secretary of State office has prepared a short reminder for all agencies that offer voter registration applications. The attached reminder notes four important dates for voter registration in order for individuals to vote in upcoming elections. Please remind your staff of these dates and the WIC program requirement to offer voter registration services.
- Value Enhanced Nutrition Assessment (VENA) 3 Step Counseling Training in November: This will be mandatory for all CPAs (RDs, Nutritionists, RNs) unless verification of attendance at a previous VENA Training, Breastfeeding Coordinator Training or Breastfeeding Peer Counseling Training can be provided. The one-day sessions will provide continuing education to WIC staff to increase their knowledge in areas that are specific to their scope of practice. This interactive continuing education is designed to assist in encouraging and sustaining successful nutrition counseling using VENA guidelines. We will discuss strategies the staff can use during the counseling session at the WIC clinic that can quickly identify participant's motivation to change and their emotions for enhancing the learning process of the counseling session. We will also instruct the attendees on developing active listening techniques, ways to evaluate their teaching techniques and to identify which techniques work best with which type of WIC participant. The training will be delivered on-site at several locations and dates throughout the state. The CPAs must attend, but all WIC staff is encouraged to attend. Training will be held from 8:30am to 4:00pm. Please see the attached registration brochure for details or contact Michelle Nienhuis at 573-751-6244 or email@example.com.

I stepped onto South American soil for the first time to participate in TechCamp Lima, the tenth such TechCamp. TechCamps are the pillar of Secretary Clinton's Civil Society 2.0 initiative and organized and run by the Secretary's Innovation team and the Office of eDiplomacy in close collaboration with local embassies.
Perched cliff-side, bustling Lima crouches over the Pacific teeming with a third of Peru's population. An incredibly diverse country, Peruvians point out its three major regions: coast, sierra, and jungle, each with starkly contrasting histories and culture. The NGOs participating in TechCamp Lima work in many sectors. However, they share the broader goal of bridging Peru's differences and promoting progress based on social inclusion whereby all Peruvians benefit from the growing economy and global openness of this dynamic country.
In a space that ESAN University generously made available May 10-11, 33 representatives from civil society organizations that operate throughout the coastal, Andean and eastern jungle areas of Peru convened with technology experts under the theme Democracia Intercultural, or intercultural democracy. Over the course of two days, participants posed problem statements and worked toward solutions to issues such as, "How can we keep anti-corruption activists connected in the 23 regions of Peru?" and "How can we extend our coverage with the same budget?" As part of the interactive model of TechCamp, technologists shared success stories with NGO representatives during a "Speed-Geeking" session (see a short video example I shot here). Technologists then held training sessions on simple and effective technologies that organizations can easily implement, such as mapping open data, or using SMS to reach a wider audience. Steve Long, a colleague from the Department of State's Information Technology organization taught sessions on quickly producing and editing quality videos on participants' own mobile phones.
My favorite aspect of TechCamp is not that NGOs come and listen to tech experts, but rather that civil society members and technologists engage each other on an equal footing, with representatives of the different organizations "owning" the problems they address every day in their work. The incredible synergy of TechCamp is difficult to describe, perhaps best left to the participants themselves, who do an exceptional job in this series of video interviews I recorded on their experiences.
And there were coffee breaks! These served not only as a venue for fostering connections but were necessary to sustain the energy of the participants who braved the famous Lima traffic to get an early start on solving their organizations' challenges through technology. On day one, participants developed problem statements and on day two they worked in small groups to tackle the problem. Technologists whose expertise ranged from visualizing open data and SMS to geo mapping and social media strategy partnered with Peruvian NGOs that focus on issues of social inclusion, language, land justice, and transparency in government. Together these groups did much more than identify issues that could be better addressed through the use of technology. They initiated measurable progress toward solutions. This is precisely what TechCamp is designed to do.
As an entry-level officer in the Foreign Service, I felt privileged to contribute both by supporting the Embassy's social media outreach and stepping into the role of "tech trainer." On both days of the conference I worked with several participants on how to set up a Ustream account as a simple way to broadcast to an audience, or connect with team members in disparate areas. I never imagined that I would have something to teach veteran organizers in my first tour as a diplomat, but I saw two participants take the lesson to heart and create an impromptu interview moments after creating their own Ustream channel.
During TechCamp Lima I had the privilege of experiencing first hand Peruvian hospitality and to savor Peru's world-famous cuisine. I survived the daredevil taxi driving, and even managed to enjoy these sometimes wild rides through the city. On my first trip south of the Equator I'm happy to have had the chance to meet and work with people dedicated to improving the lives of Peruvians, including an incredible team from the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Peru as well as their local partner Escuelab. The excitement from TechCamp Lima continues online as participants use social media to collaborate. I invite you visit our storify page to get a sense of how TechCamp Lima unfolded in real time via social media, and watch this short video which effectively summarizes the experience.

Eastman Kodak Co.'s bankruptcy filing on Jan. 19 sent shock waves through the Rochester region.
However, another noteworthy news item released the same day, the December employment report from the state Department of Labor, offers hope that the local economy is strong enough to withstand and surmount the problems of its leading manufacturing employer.
The Labor Department data showed 440,600 private-sector jobs in the five-county metropolitan area, 12,500 more than a year earlier. This 2.8 percent increase was a full percentage point above the U.S. average, and it was the ninth consecutive month when local job growth had topped the national norm.
Perhaps more telling, the latest figure was incrementally higher than the 439,600 private jobs in December 2007, the official starting point of the Great Recession. Rochester is one of only a handful of U.S. labor markets to have surpassed its pre-recession employment threshold and is the only Upstate New York region to do so (Figure 1).
Job creation was broad-based, with even the local manufacturing sector adding a net 200 jobs during the year-the first gain since 1997.
Still, the primary drivers of the hiring surge were the same ones responsible for Rochester's ongoing economic reorientation: education, health care and professional and business services.
Business services employment rose by 4,500 jobs in 2011, while private education and health care added 2,100.
While much uncertainty will swirl around Kodak's bankruptcy restructuring over the coming year, it is instructive to examine the evolving nature of private payroll wage disbursements to gather clues about Rochester's economic future.
Total wages paid to local manufacturing workers in the 12 months ended in March 2002 were $4.6 billion, essentially equal to those of professional and business services and private education and health care employees (Figure 2).
Flash forward to June 2011, and annualized wages paid to business services and "eds and meds" workers were $7.2 billion-double the $3.6 billion industrial total.
The upshot of this trend is clear: Regardless of how Kodak's reorganization is resolved, the continuing repositioning of the Rochester economy through the growth of its new employment leaders, as well as the spinoff growth accruing to other sectors, will help the region move forward in 2012 and beyond.

About the Author: Helen Reidy serves as Cultural and Education Specialist at the U.S. Consulate Sydney in Australia.
Surrounded by tractors, turbines, scanners and motorcycles -- all made in America -- Secretary Clinton spoke to a group of U.S. business executives at Australia's biggest port, the Port of Melbourne, in Victoria.
It's the Secretary's second day in Melbourne, Australia's second largest city, and while summer may be just around the corner, the 30 mph winds and a threatening storm suggest otherwise. The Yarra River on which the Port is situated has white caps. It's 2:35 in the afternoon, and the Secretary has already had a full day -- five events so far and more to come.
Arriving at the Port, Secretary Clinton is greeted by Port of Melbourne Corporation Chairman, Bill Scales, who guides her through a display of U.S products from the Port's customers: a John Deere tractor, whose distinctive green is instantly recognizable across the farms of Australia; a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide, as used by the Australian Federal Police; a Caterpillar Off-highway Truck, a familiar sight at mines and construction sites around the country; and a GE Portable Ultrasound monitor.
Inside the Port's education facility, with representatives from 20 U.S. companies, the Secretary tells the story of American exports and the U.S. economy: "[S]ales translate into jobs in communities across America -- jobs assembling the products we export, jobs selling them, and even jobs shipping them here to Australia."
Secretary Clinton's remarks highlight the strength of American exports underpinning Australia-U.S. trade ties, "Australia and America are already very close allies, and have been for nearly sixty years. But ever since we signed the U.S.-Australia Free Trade Agreement, our deepening economic ties have added an important new dimension to an already strong relationship."
The Secretary's message also illustrates the mutual benefits everyone derives from trade -- including the 325,000 Australians employed by American companies. Beyond being one of America's largest trade partners, Australia is a strong advocate of trade liberalization throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The latest effort to lower trade barriers in the region is the Trans-Pacific Partnership, an agreement which Australia is helping to negotiate.
The event ends with Secretary Clinton shaking hands with the American business leaders and the room is energized. She leaves to attend to more State Department business -- six events down, five to go, today!
You can read the Secretary's complete remarks here.
Sarah in Washington, DC writes:
I'm glad to hear that John Deere green is known around the world. It's comforting to know that we have such strong ties with Australia.
Marcial C.D.M. in Spain writes:
I think Australia is a great partner for all the countries.
Wanda W. in Texas writes:
We are proud you represent the USA, Secretary Hillary Clinton.

PETALUMA, Calif. – The creators of hands-free hydration have once again introduced another bright idea. Now available nationwide, the CamelBak® All Clear™ Microbiological UV Water Purifier is a portable water purification system that takes the worry, hassle and guesswork out of making water microbiologically safe for drinking – in just 60 seconds.
All Clear features a high-powered ultraviolet light that neutralizes 99.9999 percent of bacteria, 99.99 percent of viruses and 99.9 percent of protozoa. In three simple steps, users secure the cap, hold the power button down for 2 seconds and rotate the bottle allowing the ultraviolet light technology to destroy and neutralize waterborne viruses and bacteria. An LCD screen reveals when the purification cycle is complete and thus when the water is safe to drink.
All Clear (MSRP $99) is extremely fast, sterilizing 0.75 liters of water in 60 seconds, and the bulb lasts more than 10,000 cycles – the equivalent of purifying 3 liters per day for nearly seven years. It is ideally suited for global adventurers, backcountry enthusiasts, disaster preparedness kits, family camping trips and everyday situations where water quality is questionable.
"We recognized that the activities and travels of our consumers often take them places where clean drinking water isn't readily available, so we wanted to provide a portable, easy-to-use system to overcome that challenge," said Jon Austen, Director of Product Management for CamelBak. "We're using the same technology that has been safely and effectively used as a germicidal disinfection agent in water treatment facilities for decades, but in a simple, take-anywhere system."

Adirondack leaves hit fall midpoint
Leaves are at their midpoint of fall color change in most of the Adirondack Park, a time when brilliant red and orange treetops leap out from their largely green forest background.
"In Franklin County, foliage spotters in the Mt. Arab/Tupper Lake areas expect 45-50 percent color change by the weekend with muted-to-average hues of goldenrod, mustard and pumpkin predominating," reads the state's Fall Color Report on the I Love New York website. "Some trees are starting to show a burgundy glow with some scarlet tints.
"In Old Forge, in Herkimer County, expect 35 percent color change by weekend with leaves of muted brilliance. Shades of burgundy and gold along with some splashes of reds and oranges are contrasting nicely with the evergreens.
"In Essex County, in Wilmington, foliage spotters at Whiteface Mountain project 25 percent leaf transition as fall shades of red and orange continue to emerge from the green backdrop. Nearby Lake Placid is also projecting 25 percent color change with green, red and orange leaves of average brilliance.
"Indian Lake leaf peepers expect 20-25 percent color change in the Hamilton County community this weekend. Green is still the predominating color across the landscape, but the brilliant reds of the 'swamp' maples have arrived and shades of yellow are on the way."
The report shows that roughly half the state is experiencing some fall color change, but only the Adirondacks are at their midpoint. In the North Country, only the Lake Champlain Valley has no fall tints yet.
Other parts of New York with no change yet are the Finger Lakes area, Rochester and Buffalo, Albany, parts of the Catskills, the lower Hudson valley, New York City and most of Long Island.
State economic development officials update their Fall Color Report weekly based on field reports.

Almost three weeks ago I had my tonsils removed at the young age of thirty-six.
"It's so much harder to get your tonsils out as an adult," many warned me and…they were right!
I've had two emergency Cesarean sections and I have to say, the recovery was not nearly as brutal as recovering from my tonsillectomy.
Why is that? I think because I totally misunderstood basic anatomy.
I thought my tonsils were deep down in my throat. It would make sense, right? After all, they were coming out because of chronic strep throat episodes.
In actuality, the tonsils are neighbors to the back of your mouth.
I thought I'd have a nasty sore throat for a few weeks – nothing I couldn't handle after three years of seemingly continous strep.
Instead, what I had was an unexpected assault to my entire mouth.
The first thing I noticed when I woke up from surgery was how swollen my tongue was – I felt like one of those tortoises you see at the zoo with the abnormally large tongue.
Then, once the pain injections wore off, I realized how excruciating my entire mouth felt – teeth, roof, lips and all. This pain radiated out into my ears – which was another place of pain I didn't expect.
In fact, the ear pain was probably the worst to deal with during the first week of recovery.
I actually wondered if somehow my eardrums were punctured during surgery, but the emergency room doctor I saw on day five of my recovery for dehydration (due to the mouth pain and inability to drink) assured me my ears were intact.
I truly hope none of you Moms reading this Blog ever have to have your tonsils out, but if you do, I'm going to conclude with a few bits of advice:
- Enlist help! You will need help taking care of your kiddos for about ten days. Actually, forget "help," you will need someone to take care of your kiddos for about ten days. I am not kidding. I wish I was.
- Drink! With a tongue like a tortoise and pain worse than a c-section it is almost impossible to drink during the first week, but you have to. I didn't and I ended up in the emergency room for an IV.
- Embrace Cream of Wheat For me, Cream of Wheat was the Holy Grail of Tonsillectomy Cuisine. Popsicles were actually painful after Day 3 and broth made me queasy. Cream of Wheat was the perfect concoction to get down easily and still coat my stomach enough so I wasn't completely starving.
- Seek support online I didn't realize until after my surgery when I was Googling things like "abnormally enlarged tongue" and "punctured eardrums" that there is actually an entire online network of support for adult tonsillectomy "survivors." Who knew!? Some of the best sites I found were Tonsillectomy Recovery (it has a forum) and Shucker's Adult Tonsillectomy Blog.
- Don't expect to sleep I actually thought a perk of my surgery recovery would be sleep. Wrong. There are no perks. Like a cruel joke, sleeping makes the mouth pain worse because you wake up so dry. It is the most painful part of recovery – waking up – and it gets to the point you don't even want to sleep. Sorry to be such a kill-joy, but it's true.
- This too shall pass Just when you think your tongue will never feel normal again and you will never be able to eat more than Cream of Wheat, your pain seriously dissipates in a matter of 24 hours. For me, this happened at Day Ten. I did have nausea for about five days after as the scabs from the surgery made their way from my throat to my tummy, but the pain was over. And, kind of like childbirth, you forget the pain of the horrible tonsillectomy experience pretty quickly. Nearly three weeks later, the hellish experience is beginning to fade, which is why I'm writing this blog.

text: Shaved on the sides leaving a good length on the top is key to getting the perfect pompadour. What's great about this pompadour is that we are use to seeing a lot of sleek ones but ruffed up and messy definitely works and looks very original, which we don't see quite too often. It might be a little challenging to get it to stand up right but to be quite honest it's not that big of deal how it falls since the look is a messy look after all. so let it flow naturally and have fun with it.

Wells Fargo's Earnings Troubles Are Hidden In Plain Sight: Street Whispers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Wells Fargo (WFC) investors beware: The bank's biggest issues don't involve accounting gimmicks or trillions of dollars in hidden risky bets. Instead, they are the same earnings time bomb that has everyone from regional lenders to Wall Street titans worried: Interest rates and the prospect a mortgage refinancing boom fizzles in early 2013.
Although a recent The Atlantic magazine article attempts to paint a picture of hidden mischief scattered throughout the bank's financial statements, investors should only really care about a Federal Reserve -fueled interest rate quandary that Wells Fargo faces this year and beyond . In fact, understanding Wells Fargo's earnings illustrates why the bank isn't the financial bogeyman some in the media might make it seem.
The core dilemma for Wells Fargo headed into the fourth quarter is whether fees the bank collects for underwriting and refinancing mortgages, in addition to other types of loans, will be able to offset a foreseeable decline in interest-based earnings, on the heels a third round of Federal Reserve easing unleashed in September that targeted the mortgage market.
In the wake of the Fed's intervention -- which sets a target of $40 billion a month in mortgage asset purchases -- rates offered by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have fallen to or near record low levels. Those low rates cast doubt on the spread between what Wells Fargo's earns on mortgages it owns and what it costs to fund the loans -- a business that often accounts for 50% of the bank's overall revenue.
On the flipside of the coin, record low rates have bolstered Wells Fargo's fee-based mortgage refinancing activity, which accounts for a big chunk of its remaining revenue and helped the bank to steady earnings growth in 2012.
The challenge for Wells Fargo, as TheStreet noted in September, is that a government-supported refinancing boom may peter out well before interest rates -- and spreads -- rise, putting the bank's impressive earnings growth at risk starting this year.
In the third quarter, a troubling interplay between interest-rate based earnings
In spite of record earnings, the quarter raised investor and analyst eyebrows, which remain headed into the fourth quarter.
On an earnings call and in subsequent investor presentations through 2012, Wells Fargo chief financial officer Tim Sloan repeatedly told investors that while the bank isn't ready to call a bottom in its net interest margin declines -- they fell a greater than expected 25-basis points in the third quarter -- he's confident the bank's lending growth and a set of fee based businesses, which includes trading and wealth management, will be able to drive growing interest income and earnings in coming quarters.

Unmotivated to Run? Read This.
6 "head games" to play to help you get running again
Photo by BigStockPhoto
"People make a big mistake when they say, 'I need to be motivated.' You motivate yourself. I might inspire somebody, but that person has to be motivated within themselves first. Look inside yourself, believe in yourself, put in the hard work, and your dreams will unfold." –Billy Mills, 10,000-meter Olympic gold medalist at the 1964 Tokyo Games
Editor's Note: In his book 'RUN SIMPLE: A Minimalist Approach to Fitness and Well Being,' Duncan Larkin offers runners tips for simplifying—ditching fancy gear and gadgets in order to reap the "maximum physical and mental benefits of running," along with eliminating boredom and preventing burnout. In these excerpts from chapter 8, 'Head Games,' Larkin explains how to deal with six negative sentiments that often plague runners.
I Don't Feel Like Running Today
You aren't human if this thought doesn't enter your mind at least once a week.
Running takes a lot out of you. It can be especially rough on your feet and legs. Your body remembers this, and so you can become conditioned to resisting this prolonged bout of inevitable suffering. Throw in elements like a blizzard, heat wave, or tropical storm, and these negative feelings are compounded.
The best way to combat this thought is to tell yourself that you are going to put on your trainers and run for at least 10 minutes. No matter what, you will put forth that small effort. That is the arrangement. If you start trying to make deals with yourself—crafting excuses why the 10-minute rule is baloney—then set the timer on your watch, take a deep breath, and put feet to pavement.
Usually, by the time your alarm goes off, you'll be happy you're running. Ten minutes is a good duration, because by the time it expires, it will take you at least 10 minutes to return home, giving you approximately 20 minutes of running for that session—not a bad period of time of exercise when you were contemplating doing none.
One thing to try when you've lost all sense of motivation in the middle of a run is to start walking. Walking is not going to give you the same training stimulus as running, but it's decent exercise nonetheless; it's putting your legs in motion, which is better than calling a loved one and asking to be picked up at the side of the road.
Something else to think about when you have no desire to run is the nobility of any type of self-improvement. By being a runner of any ability, you are someone who is taking positive steps toward improving your health. Many people make excuses not to exercise, but on this particular day, you weren't one of them. You got out there and gave it your best. When the bad times come for you, think of this concept. And when you get outside and take your first steps on a run, listen to your feet hitting the pavement. Count the steps and think that for every step you hear, you are getting healthier and transforming yourself into a better runner.

I recently discussed our pesky human tendency to limit and debase our thinking about economics to the temporary and material. Much like Judas, who reacted bitterly to Mary's outpouring of expensive ointment, we neglect to contemplate what eternal purposes God might have for this or that material good and the ways through which it might be used or distributed.
C.S. Lewis captures the tendency powerfully in his book, The Great Divorce, providing a clear contrast of heaven and hell through a series of conversations and spiritual choices.
Beginning the story in a dreary town described as being "always in the rain and always in evening twilight," Lewis provides us with a setting very much like earth but with a bit more darkness and—take note—a bit more surface-level comfort and security ("they have no Needs," as one character describes it).
Lewis follows one man's journey beyond the town (which we quickly discover to be hell or some type of purgatory), toward an ever-increasing light (which we quickly discover to be heaven). Along the way, he encounters a series of fellow travelers, each struggling with his or her own obstacle to the divine—an earthbound idol that must be pried from their paws.
In one particular conversation, Lewis points specifically to the economic sphere, using a character he calls "the Intelligent Man" to propose an economic solution that, according to his limited, earthbound assumptions, will certainly relieve what he believes to be an inevitable, ever-increasing darkness:
What's the trouble about this place? Not that people are quarrelsome—that's only human nature and was always the same even on earth. The trouble is they have no Needs. You get everything you want (not very good quality, of course) by just imagining it. That's why it never costs any trouble to move to another street or build another house. In other words, there's no proper economic basis for any community life. If they needed real shops, chaps would have to stay near where the real shops were. If they needed real houses, they'd have to stay near where builders were. It's scarcity that enables a society to exist. Well, that's where I come in…I'd start a little business. I'd have something to sell. You'd soon get people coming to live near-centralisation. Two fully-inhabited streets would accommodate the people that are now spread over a million square miles of empty streets. I'd make a nice little profit and be a public benefactor as well.
His approach has some charming elements, to be sure. Indeed, if I myself were to encounter a dreary town such as this, I, too, would be quick to emphasize the positive socializing effects of market collaboration and cooperation. "The townspeople boast an unhealthy and isolating sense of entitlement," I might be tempted to say. "Thus, we should proceed to foster a healthy web of bottom-up independence, interconnectedness, collaboration, and specialization." (more…)

Hartford Courant, March 20, 2013
Hartford Courant, March 20, 2013: State lawmakers are considering a bill that would require the University of Connecticut to continue paying for the education of athletes who lose their scholarships due to injury, illness or even a coach's decision. UNH professor Allen Sack says most schools, including UConn, only offer one-year renewable athletic scholarships and adds that students currently have no legal protection should a school decide not to renew that scholarship.

Broadwater would make long-term commitment to Dist. 88
NEW ULM – Addressing an audience of about 50 at a community forum in the District 88 auditorium on Monday, superintendent finalist Jean Broadwater summed up her background and job experience and answered wide-ranging questions.
Broadwater, current Superintendent of Schools in Houston – a smaller community near Rochester – is one of two finalists for the position.
The other finalist, Jeff Bertrang, superintendent of Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop (GFW) Public Schools, will attend a similar meeting and other events today.
The job is being vacated at the end of this school year by retiring Superintendent Harold Remme.
Broadwater introduced herself as a native of the LaCrosse, Wis., area, the oldest of nine children. Her parents were farmers.
She started her career as an eighth-grade teacher in the Milwaukee public school system, teaching for eight years.
In time, she went on to obtain a principal's and a superintendent's licenses, and advanced degrees in educational leadership, administration and curriculum. Broadwater has completed her doctoral work, but not written a doctoral dissertation.
Her administrative experience includes six years as a high school principal at West Bend, Wis., and four years as a superintendent at Kewaunee, Wis., and Houston.
A single parent, she has a son who is finishing college.
Broadwater answered questions about her beliefs about the role of technology in education; how she sees her community role as it pertains to youth; her experience in resolving facilities issues and referendums; her views on new state rules on teacher evaluation; her experience of, and views on, interaction with parochial schools; her knowledge of PLCs (professional learning communities of teachers); and some other matters.
Partial highlights:
She noted that technology decisions are often district-specific.
She referenced, in part, "bring your own device" initiatives, pointing out that users need to be engaged as part of the process of technology integration in the classroom.
A district needs to create a specific culture/climate for an initiative to work, taking into account factors such as infrastructure, wireless capabilities, bandwidth, etc.
She also stressed the need to offer continuous support to faculty, in whatever a district decides to do.
She stressed she would make a "purposeful" effort to be involved in leadership organizations and look for opportunities to build partnerships with businesses, intended to keep young people here.
On new principal and teacher evaluation systems required by the state starting next year, she noted, in part, that models work best if those involved buy into and take ownership of the process; models prioritizing professional growth work well.
She listed specific efforts in this area she has been involved in.
Broadwater cited her specific experience with Q-comp (a way of rewarding teachers, sometimes considered merit pay) and PLC (professional learning community) systems.
She emphasized the need to cooperate and share resources with non-public systems.
Broadwater also outlined a transitional plan that would allow her to learn about SWOTs (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) in the district, by gathering and analyzing, confidentially, information from various groups, discussing findings and solutions with the school board, and potentially engaging in strategic planning.
Broadwater said in her closing remarks that she would be honored, if selected, to spend the next 8-10 years of her professional career in New Ulm, buying a home and retiring here.
Earlier in the day, Broadwater toured school buildings with Remme. She also met with administrators who filled out feedback forms for the school board to consider when deliberating their choice of the next superintendent.
She ended her day with a dinner and a further conversation with the school board.
After the process is repeated with Bertrang today, the school board will meet to deliberate their final choice tonight. The board will decide by the end of the day with which candidate to enter contract negotiations.
Broadwater and Bertrang were chosen from a shortlist of six semi-finalists, out of a field of 15 applicants.
The process is facilitated by consultants Ed Waltman and Butch Hanson from the South Central Service Co-op, which provides this service free of charge to member districts.

On the GI Metal peels, what is the difference between using the solid metal peels and the perforated style ones with holes?
Perforated ones allow for removal of excess flour on bottom of pizza.
The one negative about the GI peels is that they nick very easily.
Matthew,How many times have I told you not to use the peels to "motivate" your employees?
I know, but it does such a great job doubling as a human swatter that it makes it hard for me to resist.
I got mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond and it is just a simple wooden one, it was only $10. Most people use a wooden one to put the pizza in the oven, and a metal one to get it out since dough has a tendency to stick to a metal peel if you are prepping it on the peel itself. Maybe someone with more experience will chime in too and give you some advice, but this is what I've gathered from a lot of reading on this forum. Good luck!
Yep. You can swing a perforated peel with a higher velocity due to decreased air resistance, but there is something to be said for the increased mass of the non-perforated ones. I keep both handy and select based on how fast the employee is moving.

Recently, a Delta flight made minor headlines when an engine failed during cruise, and the flight was forced to divert to Phoenix. The mainstream media and much of the flying public seem to think that such an event is met with a rising crescendo of music and heroes saving the day, followed by a commercial break.
In the real world, this is rarely the case, especially in a jet.
The reality is that losing an engine in cruise is just not that big of a deal in an airliner, be it a turboprop or a jet. The design criteria are such that, on takeoff, the airplane has a reserve of 100 percent power; that is, it can lose an engine during the takeoff roll and still safely continue the takeoff while clearing all obstacles in the departure path. It will then be able to return and land. It stands to reason that shutting down an engine in cruise is less of a problem.
A spontaneous engine failure with a turbine engine in cruise is truly rare. More common is a need to shut down an engine as a precaution. The crew might get a message saying that a bleed air system has developed a leak, or vibration is exceeding allowable tolerances, or oil pressure is declining. In a jet, the crew will work the shutdown through the checklist, and it is possible that nobody on board would even know about it–though they may feel a bit of a yaw. On a turboprop, it will be unmistakable, as the airplane will not only yaw, but the passengers on the affected side will see the propeller stop propelling; that's pretty hard to hide.
I've only had to shut down an engine once in my career, and because it was a turboprop, the captain decided we should brief the flight attendant and make an announcement to the passengers first. That became my job. Afterward, we shut the engine down and continued to our destination, which was also the closest, most suitable airport. I've also been on one airplane as a passenger when the crew had to shut the engine down. In the cabin, we never knew it as it was so smooth, until the captain came on the public address system and told us what had happened.
The obvious question is what about altitude? It is clearly no big deal when over flat terrain. In the mountains, it is a different story. The crew will have available the information needed to determine the single-engine ceiling for the day based on weight, temperature, and altitude. If terrain is an issue, the flight planning process should have already taken that into account by choosing a route that allows the crew to descend to its new maximum altitude while turning away from the terrain or joining a safer airway before leveling off. Each airframe manufacturer and each airline may do things slightly differently, but the goal is the same: put the crew in the safest possible position to make a safe emergency single-engine landing.
Cue the music…—By Chip Wright


text: This look is a more relaxed version of the high and tight, the norm for men in the service. Instead of the sides and back being shaved or buzzed down to the scalp, a length of an eighth to a quarter of an inch is allowed, and even trails down in front of the ear to the jaw for a matching five o'clock shadow. Hair on top of the head is markedly longer, and styled up and towards the center of the skull, except near the hairline, where it is styled back. This short hair is easy to maintain and gives off a young and stylish vibe.

Dear Friends and Colleagues:
The plan adopted by the 1811 General Assembly for the founding of the
Seminary the next year stated broadly that its mission was "to provide for
the church an adequate supply and succession of able and faithful
ministers of the New Testament."
Of the variety of forms such ministry assumes today, the plan mentions
only two: pastors and missionaries. While the latter have diminished in
number the past several decades, the need for pastors increases.
Presently, in fact, the "adequate supply" of ministers for the pastoral
office can no longer be taken for granted.
One encouraging sign was the exit interviews of the Class of 2001, which
stated that the single most influential experience of their three years at
the Seminary was field education, that is, exposure to the life of
congregations and the pastors who serve them.
Perhaps that explains why only 40 percent of the Class of 2001 identified
pastoral ministry as their vocational goal upon entering the Seminary and
60 percent did so upon graduation.
This issue
of inSpire features pastoral ministry and some of those here who prepare
students for this understanding of what Calvin called "the first office of
the church."
Faithfully yours,
Thomas W. Gillespie

Coast of Castellón
Les Playetes, Oropesa del Mar
Castellón Planetarium
Heliópolis beach, Benicassim
Water park in Benicassim
Peñíscola Castle
You'll find Castellón on the Spanish Mediterranean coast in the north of the Region of Valencia, with over 120 kilometres of coastline and some of the loveliest beaches in the area.
There are a total of 16 coastal towns and villages to explore, some as famous as Benicàssim, Benicarló and Oropesa del Mar. Castellón has eight nature reserves. Two of them have undeveloped coastlines: the Sierra de Irta nature reserve (with coastal sites like Peñíscola and Alcalà de Xivert-Alcossebre) and the Prat de Cabanes-Torreblanca nature reserve. Highly recommended (and particularly for scuba-diving) is a visit to the Islas Columbretes nature and marine reserve. Water sports The various yacht clubs, sailing schools and marinas in Castelló all offer the opportunity to enjoy sailing, scuba diving and kayaking, as well as renting waterbikes. Discover the interior Although you might not think so from the beach, Castellón is a very mountainous area. It is well worth venturing into the interior to explore mediaeval towns such as Morella.

1) It was difficult to stretch this wet of dough without making the center extremely thin. Any tips?2) Am I looking for a more chewy crust or more airy? Mine was definitely on the more chewy side. It was very good, but just wondering what the standard is. Maybe I overworked it while stretching it out. There seemed to be so little IDY, is 0.03% a reasonable amount?
As far as I know, the percentage of yeast (along with temperature) only affects how slow or quickly the dough ferments. American styles tend to produce quicker same day doughs requiring more yeast. NP guys here typically advocate longer ferments and digestibility and use much smaller amounts of yeast. You can tailor your dough to your schedule by adjusting yeast amounts and temp of fermentation.
I used the recipe shown here http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,21730.msg219699.html#msg219699But I don't have cake yeast, so I used the yeast conversion chart to get to IDY. If my math was right...that would make it 0.03% IDY.I incorporated 75% of the flour, salt, IDY and water. I mixed in my KA for two minutes and then let rest for 20 mins. I then mixed on 1/4 speed for 5 mins and then slowly incorporated the remaining flour and mixed for another 5 mins total. I let it rest again for 20 mins. I split and balled the dough. I put in a sealed plastic container and put in the fridge for 22 hours. No reballing, but 10 mins may be be overworking the dough.
Here's a couple shot from this afternoon's bake. Trying my own deflector design, the Mmmphlector v1.0. I'll release this after a couple more bakes.Getting closer.
Here's a couple shot from this afternoon's bake. Getting closer.
I love that it's so quick to start this oven up to bake just a couple pizzas. Working on some dessert pizzas. Only wanted to make them, not eat them, I had a very happy neighbor. 1) smores2) marscapone mixed with valhrona cocoa and a little sugar, sour cherry spread and homemade chocolate syrup (not pretty but pretty tasty, picture is all washed out, that is not how the crust looked)
NY/coal style pie. I made this dough for a 16" pie for a home gas oven but ended up baking it in the BS. Had to understretch it a bit but it still came out purdy good. Pie baked right at 4m. Last pic is me fooling around with an extra dough ball.
Love that Smores idea. We are planning a community pizza party in a few weeks with little kids all over the place. ThxDave

Fraud Alert
World Vision and several other charitable agencies have been subject to recent "phishing" attacks (email scams). The scams claim to offer job opportunities (one in particular falsely claims to come from our chief financial officer, Larry Probus), are requests to convert funds, or are requests to forward financial transactions directly to field programs.
If you have received an email in connection with a job or financial opportunity, we urge you not to respond. These emails are not legitimate. Either delete the email or report it to www.ic3.gov.

Hey there!
On the 19/20th of August I am co-organising Ultrachip (www.ultrachip.co.uk/). A chiptune music event. Anyhow I was wondering on the availability of the Gallery on these dates (I heard it might be empty?). If it is available, we would like to show interactive videos on the gallery walls - possibly some form of early computer games...
let me know! cheers,

Tutoring, Guided Study, Study Help
Student Success Center
Student Success Center (SSC) provides quality, student-centered academic support services to help students achieve success.
The Writing Center
The Writing Center provides a place where writers can talk to other writers about their writing projects. Within the center, students can expect nonjudgmental and helpful comments on their work. Our writing tutors are student "peers" and they are the very best sources for support and guidance on other students' work because, having gone through the English Department Writing Program, they understand the concerns other students have about their writing.
