It takes a lot of skill and hard work to establish a world record in speed pumpkin carving. Steve Clarke, a sixth-grade teacher from Havertown, Pennsylvania, should know. Clarke has set multiple world records for carving pumpkins quickly. When he competes, he must cut out two eyes, two eyebrows, a nose, a mouth, and two ears as fast as possible, and then put the lid back on for the pumpkin to count. But Clarke knows something else about pumpkin carving. It's easier to get a record than to keep it.
Reclaiming a Record
For over a decade, Clarke held the record for carving the fastest face into a pumpkin.
He took the title in 2000, when he carved a pumpkin face in 74.8 seconds. That time was 19 seconds better than what previous record-holder Jerry Ayers had accomplished. From there, Clarke beat his own record five times. In 2006, he set his best time during a competition at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. He was taking part in the Food Network Challenge: Guinness World Records Week. His winning time was 24.03 seconds!
The only problem is that someone finally bested that mark. On October 7, 2010, David Finkle from the United Kingdom set the new time at 20.1 seconds. Clarke was not able to beat that mark this year, but he has definite plans to return the record to Pennsylvania. After Halloween, he will go to local pumpkin farms and get surplus pumpkins to practice designs and new techniques so he's prepared to reclaim the record next season.
Other Pumpkin Prizes
While he waits to win the single pumpkin carving title, Clarke can enjoy his other carving feats. He currently holds a different world record. It took him only three hours, thirty-three minutes and 49 seconds to become the fastest person to carve faces into an entire ton of pumpkins.
Clarke has enjoyed some perks that came because of his pumpkin-carving prowess. He has been featured on a trading card, and also on the Guinness World Records 2011 calendar. He was once the answer to a question on the game show Jeopardy. And way back in 1999, he carved more than 30 pumpkins at the Halloween party of then-Vice President Al Gore.
What was the best pumpkin he's ever carved? "That would have to be The Scream, a copy of the painting by Edvard Munch. It was a very intricate design that was a challenge to carve," said Clarke.

From I Spy to iPods – History goes high tech at Fort Nelson - Thursday, 3 November 2011
The Royal Armouries today launches its brand new state-of-the-art education facilities at Fort Nelson – using the latest interactive technology to make history come alive for Hampshire primary schoolchildren.
Pupils from Northern Junior School will become German spies for the day (November 2), using iPods to explore this fully-restored Victorian fort and to learn about its vital role in the Second World War.
The new education service is part of the £3.5m revamp of Fort Nelson, supported by a grant of over £2m from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Armed with secret instruction documents, children from the Portchester School will infiltrate the Fort in a Key Stage 2 (KS2) Second World War history session – Spies Like Us.
Education officer Eileen Clegg said, "These exciting and innovative sessions give pupils a unique insight into Fort Nelson's role during the Second World War. They will find out what went on at the Fort, its strengths and weaknesses, and how to formulate a plan of attack. They will also discover Fort Nelson's role in protecting the South Coast from enemy air-raids, and about the lives of people who worked here during wartime.
"The children will use a mix of role play and the latest technology, to gather information from around the Fort. They will discover the areas that were vital to operations in 1940 as by following a special route – like a Treasure Hunt – with excitement building as they go."
Once their mission is accomplished, they will then upload their work directly from iPods to Wizkid, the Hampshire County Council online learning platform. This will allow them to access their work once they are back in their school classrooms. Schools without Wizkid access will be provided with memory sticks.
The Spies Like Us sessions are just part of the new-look education service, launched in the Royal Armouries education centre.
The programme also includes:
- First World Sessions, covering Trench Warfare, A Soldier's Life at Fort Nelson and WWI Study Day (KS3 and 4).
- Science sessions*, covering Catapults and Trebuchets (KS3 and 4).
- Florence Nightingale – including sessions in the new hospital gallery (KS 1).
- Hog Tales and the Fort's Furry Friends (KS1) – learn about materials science through the traditional children's story, The Three Little Pigs, plus discover the animals and plants' habitats on Portsdown Hill.
- Victorians (KS2) – learn about why Fort Nelson was built, and the lives and times of the people who lived there and built it.
- Science – Two sessions focusing on Catapults and Trebuchets, plus Eggstreme Armour (KS2).
Museum creative director Peter Armstrong said, "Where better than to learn about history than this stunning Victorian Fort, which has been fully refurbished in a sympathetic and meaningful way. Children can tread the paths of the Victorians, and First and Second World War soldiers, and see for themselves how they lived their lives."
The education visits are available during term time. Visit www.royalarmouries.org for more details and teachers' notes.

Pocatello family rescues child slaves from Nepal
POCATELLO, Idaho - While most 12-year old students are inundated with school projects, Fatima Rahim, 12, recently took on a big project of her own - to give child slaves in other countries a chance to go to school, starting in Nepal.
"Most people don't realize there's still slavery going on and it didn't end with Martin Luther King Jr. and Abraham Lincoln," Fatima said. "But in different places around the world there are people working as human slaves in dangerous conditions that could get them killed easily."
That's when Fatima and her family found seven year old Aasha working in a brick kiln in Nepal.
"There were a bunch of young kids working with harsh, toxic, smoke and so many dangerous things," Fatima said.
The Rahim family founded the JRM Foundation for Humanity and are working with the Little Sisters Fund, both based in Idaho, to bring these child slaves out of bondage and into classrooms.
Fatima learned there are currently 27 million slaves worldwide, and out of those, 18 million are children.
She said even though child slavery and bonded labor are still illegal in Nepal, there's a lack of oversight and for a lot of these kids, they don't have a choice but to work in such conditions in order to pay off generations of debt that have been handed down.
"The debt just keeps getting greater and greater and greater and they just keep passing it on. So, they need someone to come in and break that cycle."
Fatima's mother Beena Rahim said it's possible to make a greater difference, although the task seems daunting when you think of how many children are bound to 14-hour labor-intensive days, everyday for the rest of their lives.
"When you think about overcoming these huge obstacles in the world, you kind of overwhelm and overburden yourself," Rahim said. "But when you aim to help one person at a time, it's a lot more doable."
The Rahims cannot use Aasha's real name to protect her from anyone who might come after her. They said "Aasha" means "hope" in Nepalese.
They were also able to rescue Aasha's older sister and their cousin who are now going to school full time in the capital of Katmandu.

Has Twitter strengthened call to actions or created more dissent for their messages?
Last week most people would not have been able to piece together a cohesive description of Uganda war lord, Joseph Kony. Today, as a result of Facebook and Twitter, most are well acquainted with Kony and the terrorist organization he heads, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). The movement to educate the world on Joseph Kony's crimes against humanity have gained positive momentum and support but have also received flak from skeptics.
The widely popular 30 minute video entitled "KONY 2012" was uploaded to YouTube and Vimeo on March 5th and has been shared, liked, tweeted and re-posted millions of times. The non-profit organization who created the video, Invisible Children, hoped to educate the world on the now notorious war criminal and bring him to justice.
Kony was indicted for his crimes by the International Criminal Court in The Hage, Netherlands in 2005 but has since evaded capture. Since the video has gone viral, there has been an estimated 9.5 million tweets including the word Kony and may be the fastest growing viral video to date. According to Jason Russell, the co-founder of Invisible Children, the campaign raised $5 million in the first 48 hours.
There are two opposing opinions on utilizing social media tools for protest. Social media is accessible on any phone with a data plan making sites like Twitter a place to organize, update and mobilize support in a faster fashion than ever before. With the use of hashtags, tweeters have the advantage of following up-to-the-minute information via tweet, video, links and photographs. Users are able to re-tweet to a wider audience and in some instances tweets are transmitted to large publications and news agencies. Many news programs now report happenings on Twitter, and urge viewers to follow hashtags of importance.
While this micro-blogging site is doing wonders for co-ordination in times of chaos, one drawback of live feed is that opponents are able to keep up with new meeting places and police activities. During the 2009 G20 Summit in London England, police monitored sites like Twitter and Facebook weeks before the meetings began in hopes of staying one step ahead of protestors.
After officials disrupted Facebook, Twitter and Blackberry Messenger services during the early days of the Egyptian Revolution, Barack Obama famously called upon Egypt to reverse their, "interference with access to the Internet, with cellphone service and to social networks that do so much to connect people in the 21st century."
3 Movements shaped by Twitter
Political: Egyptian Revolution
And above all, we saw a new generation emerge — a generation that uses their own creativity and talent and technology to call for a government that represented their hopes and not their fears; a government that is responsive to their boundless aspirations. One Egyptian put it simply: Most people have discovered in the last few days…that they are worth something, and this cannot be taken away from them anymore, ever. – Barak Obama
When anti-government protests began in Egypt on January 25th, 2011 over unemployment and government corruption issues, thousands of citizens marched towards downtown Cairo to demonstrate.
When rallies began to spread countrywide, protest organizers relied heavily on social media sites to create rally points, coordinate activity, keep in touch with loved ones, document police brutality via video and photos. Millions of people around the world kept their eyes on Twitter feeds for up to the minute information; those who lent a kind word of support to the protestors empowered the people of the movement.
Two days after the rallying began, Facebook, Twitter and Blackberry Messenger services were disrupted. The following day Internet and mobile phone text message users also reported major disruption to services as the country prepared for a new wave of protest. The Egyptian president followed implementations set previously by Pakistan and Iran to block all social media sites to curb the uprising and take the power away from the people. Unfortunately for Mubarak, key deciders and supporters from around the world already heard the cry of the Egyptian people.
Economical: Occupy Wall Street
OWS is fighting back against the corrosive power of major banks and multinational corporations over the democratic process, and the role of Wall Street in creating an economic collapse that has caused the greatest recession in generations. The movement is inspired by popular uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, and aims to expose how the richest 1% of people are writing the rules of an unfair global economy that is foreclosing on our future. – ows.org
A movement proposed by Adbusters along with the hashtag #occupywallstreet, asked the "99%" to protest Wall Street behavior during an economic crisis where the majority of Americans are jobless, broke, in debt and cannot afford healthcare. In a culture saturated with social media, it was obvious that sites like Twitter would be used in the same way as the Egyptian movement: to activate, educate and organize. Like any effort that heavily relies on technology, key players and inside information were permeated. On October 15th Gawker released an exclusive story on a New York security consultant named Thomas Ryan who infiltrated one of the main Occupy Wall Street internal mailing groups and handed over the information to authorities and corporations which had been targeted by protestors to discredit the movement.
Culture: Team Coco
"I know what you guys are thinking: 'Hey, it's the guy from Twitter." – Conan O'Brien
While it may not be the most essential movement in the history of demonstrations, it did change the way we feel about our week night talk show hosts. When Conan refused to take the later time slot on NBC after being given The Tonight Show back in 2009, all hell broke loose on the internet and thousands began defending the redhead's honor, while bashing Jay Leno's quest for a time slot which (eventually) secured him better ratings. When the tongue in cheek hashtag #teamcoco became a trending topic, social media analysts pointed out that Twitter sentiment for NBC became tremendously negative as the days went on. The movement was becoming anti-NBC rather than Pro Conan. And, as if it was a political movement, people began protesting outside the Universal Studios lot, Conan's old studio at 30 Rockafeller as well as Chicago and Seattle. "The Internet has a way of making people a little more brave, and a bit more outspoken," said Mr. Mitchell, the designer of the famous Team Coco illustration. Eventually, Conan found a home on TBS and still has a very prominent presence on the internet.

A Touch of British Romance in St. Louis
The Cheshire • St. Louis, MO
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in an Epic King Poolside Room
- Euro-Continental Breakfast for Two
- British Tea Service
- Complimentary Appetizer at Fox & Hounds Tavern or by the Pool
The Destination
Historically dubbed the "Gateway to the West," St. Louis still buzzes with the adventurous spirit of a new frontier, where trendy neighborhoods, cozy cafes, pulsing music stages, and eclectic dining spots favor just about any fancy. The sports set will cheer for the city's year-round athletic events and 13 professional championships; music junkies will dance to live jazz, blues, folk rock, and classical piano at music bars downtown; and foodies and beer enthusiasts will want want to eat at the award-winning culinary bistros and historic microbreweries. Truly a "City of a Thousand Sights," St. Louis is a gateway city for any taste.
The Digs
You'll know you've arrived at The Cheshire when you spot the signature red phone booth that sits in front of this AAA Four Diamond-rated hotel. More than 80 years old, this recently refurbished icon embodies the charm of a traditional British inn, its thick wood walls housing decades of memories and stories, like the hardcover books that reside in each of the hotel's literary-themed novelty suites. Modern additions to the hotel include a heated outdoor pool, butler-style turndown service, and plush bathrobes. Still, the rich hardwood floors, built-in dressers, and oversize vanities recall a bygone era.
In the evening, pop into the Fox & Hounds Tavern, a mainstay of the The Cheshire's British roots, where you'll get a complimentary appetizer during your stay. Rich leather banquettes offer intimate seating, a stone fireplace evokes foggy England nights, more than a dozen varieties of whiskey line the shelves, and a menu of pub classics (bangers and mash, lamb sliders) ties it all together.

First Lady Michelle Obama wants America's kids to eat right, exercise more and keep their weight in check. Obama introduced the Let's Move campaign yesterday. The goal of the program is to reduce childhood obesity, or being overweight, for kids today and in the future. "We're determined to finally take on one of the most serious threats to our [children's] future, and that's the epidemic of obesity in America today," she said.
Obesity is a big problem in the United States. Nearly one in five kids, ages 6 to 19 are overweight. During a person's lifetime, carrying too much weight can lead to serious illnesses, which can lead to higher health costs for everyone.
Let's Move will get families, communities, schools, politicians and newspapers, magazines and TV to join together and "solve the problem of childhood obesity in a generation so that children born today will reach adulthood at a healthy weight," Obama said at a press conference. The plan includes getting food stores to sell healthier foods and schools to serve healthier, less fatty, meals. Obama wants schools to offer regular gym classes and for communities to build places where kids can play safely.
Cut the Fat
Many health experts blame the rising population of obese kids on diets that contain a lot of fat and sugar and that are light on fresh vegetables and fruits. Also, American kids aren't exercising enough to burn up those extra calories.
Mrs. Obama is not only speaking about better diets as a First Lady but also as a mom. She and her kids, Sasha and Malia, discussed the need to eat better and to keep track of what they eat. The changes include serving smaller portions at meals, saving dessert only for weekends, and instead of drinking sugary sodas, switching to water, milk and fresh-squeezed juices. "The point is that small changes make a difference," she told CNN. The First Lady has also set an example by planting a White House vegetable garden. She hopes the garden will inspire people to plant one, too.
Obama summed up her plans for her Let's Move campaign by quoting President Franklin D. Roosevelt. "We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future." And if Obama's plan works, our future will be in excellent shape.

PR-B Schools look at security in light of Connecticut school tragedy
Last month's elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., which left 20 young children and six educators dead, had many parents concerned about the safety of their own children at area schools.
"I think we all feel shaken by this and I understand how hard it is for parents to send their children to school today," Pine River-Backus Superintendent Cathy Bettino said right after the tragedy.
Bettino said she and other school staff met the Monday after the tragedy to discuss the district's safety procedures at both the elementary and high school buildings.
Bettino said the district has had a good security process since renovations were made at each school building's main entrance two years ago. There is only one entrance open during the school day at each building. Visitors must check in at each office in order to gain entrance to each building.
Still, Bettino said she and her staff decided to increase security by adding another step in the process of entering the school buildings. She did not specify what that step would be.
In a letter sent home with students, Bettino urged parents to use only the office entrances when visiting the schools and check in at the office immediately when they arrive.
She also asked that parents and other visitors make sure they let the office staff know when they are leaving the building. She sent home tips for parents on how to help them discuss the tragedy with their children.
Bettino reminded parents that despite the devastating tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., schools continue to be a safe place.
"We want them to be safe," Bettino said. "Making sure our children are safe at school is our No. 1 priority."

Re: mushroom soup for maddie rose
Chunky Mushroom Soup with Garlic Ciabatta.
20 gm sliced Dried Mushrooms
1 tbl Flavorless oil, such as sunflower oil
10 gm (1/2oz) butter
1 lrg onion, peeled and chopped
1 x glove garlic, peeled and crushed
450 gm (1lb) white closed-cap mushrooms, roughly chopped
3 tbl Madeira or Sweet Sherry
1 x vegetable stock cube
1 x level tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon (or 1 level dessertspoon dried tarragon)
142 ml soured cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the Ciabatta:
6 clv garlic (skinned)
2 x level tablespoons coarsely grated cheddar cheese (I used Feta and it was great)
75 gm (3oz) butter, softened
1/2 tsp sea salt (or ordinary salt)
1 x ready to bake Ciabatta loaf
Put the dried mushrooms in a jug and add 275ml (10fl oz) of boiling water. Heat the oil and butter in a large saucepan, then add the onion and cook for 10 minutes, stirring, until starting to soften. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Now add the fresh mushrooms, stir well and cook for 10 minutes. Add the Madeira or sherry, bring to the boil and bubble for a moment. Add the dried mushrooms and their liquid, plus 425ml (15fl oz) cold water and the stock cube. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside while you make the Ciabatta.
To make the Ciabatta, pop the garlic cloves on a baking tray and place in the oven for 10 minutes, until they start to release their fragrance. Cool slightly, then peel and crush.
Mix together the garlic, cheese, butter and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Split the loaf horizontally and spread both cut sides with the cheese mixture. Place on a baking sheet, cut side up, and bake for about 10 minutes, until golden.
To finish the soup, whiz with a hand blender until broken up but still chunky. Return to the heat and add the tarragon and soured cream. Season to taste and heat until piping hot. Cut the Ciabatta into slices and serve with the soup.

The data on travel time to work were derived from answers to Question 28. This question was asked of people who indicated in Question 23 that they worked at some time during the reference week, and who reported in Question 25 that they worked outside their home. Travel time to work refers to the total number of minutes that it usually took the worker to get from home to work during the reference week. The elapsed time includes time spent waiting for public transportation, picking up passengers in carpools, and time spent in other activities related to getting to work. (See "Reference Week.")

In a new beek,I live in Virginia 30 miles south of Charlottesville. Just wondering about what time the fall scould start,and do you think we will have one?
I don't know about schyuler but we have a abundance of golden rod here that typically starts to bloom mid to late August and last till about the first frost I have been able to build my hives up on that for winter before but not really end up with any surplus. As far as if we will have a good fall flow?. Pray for rain. I have also gotten a surplus from thistle from late June through July but not this year way to dry.
Thanks for the info,We need som rain bad ,way to dry.Scould I be feeding?
If you think they need it you can I was feeding a couple of nucs I made up at the end of June but once I thought they were off to a good start I stop. They don't have enough stores to make it through the winter on yet but I figured I still have enough time to let them go at it on there own and see where they are at towards the end of August, first of September.If they are light then I will start pouring the feed to them. It will not hurt to feed them now if you think they are really light but if they aren't I don't see no reason for spending money on sugar. If we get a fall flow it won't take them long to be ready for winter. One thing to make sure is that you don't want to start any robbing which is easy to do when you have a couple of hives with dry conditions like now and sugar syrup on the hives.

Any tips for a hobbyist transitioning to a sideliner bee business???
I would really appreciate any tips ranging from equipment choices, minimizing overhead, increasing proficiency of operation (feeding choices, management), etc. I am still relatively small overwintering about 60 colonies right now, but have been growing steadily, at the minimum doubling annually. So far I have been trying to let the hobby pay for its own growth. I have been realizing that management techniques and equipment choices require optimization to transition to a productive business! I realize this is a broad topic, but any input would be appreciated!
These are the areas of beekeeping I am involved with:
1. Selling nucleus colonies (Any tips on commercially feeding nucs?)
2. Selling some queens (This year I am working on setting up an incubator to house cells, any tips?)
3. Honey production (Any tips on a honey extractor choice for my operation size?)

The world's top climate scientists on Friday unveiled their much-anticipated assessment of global warming and the conclusion couldn't be more definitive: It is "extremely likely" that human activity is the "dominant cause of climate change observed since the 1950s."
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said they are 95 percent convinced that global warming is both occurring and man-made. This is an increase from the United Nations-sponsored panel's last assessment, issued in 2007, when they said with 90 percent certainty that global warming was real and caused by man.
One anecdote that didn't appear in the report, however, is that the IPCC's new calculations essentially support the conclusions drawn in Bill McKibben's now-famous Rolling Stone article from 2012, "Global Warming's Terrifying New Math."
In that story, the climate hawk and founder of 350.org, posited that there were three key numbers that global policymakers needed to focus on to prevent calamitous climate change.
1) The First Number: 2° Celsius [3.6° Fahrenheit]: This is the temperature rise we need to target if we want to have our best chance of averting multiple catastrophes and amplifying carbon cycle feedbacks.
The IPCC agrees with McKibben, and McKibben got his number from prior IPCC reports: Two degrees is still considered "safe."
2) The Second Number: 565 Gigatons: Scientists estimate that humans can pour roughly 565 more gigatons of carbon…into the atmosphere by midcentury and still have some reasonable hope of staying below two degrees. ('Reasonable,' in this case, means four chances in five, or somewhat worse odds than playing Russian roulette with a six-shooter.)"
Here's where the IPCC starts to make the math a little harder. As of 2011, we had emitted roughly 531 billion tons of carbon since the Industrial Revolution, meaning we have already burned through about 53 percent of a targeted one-trillion-ton carbon budget. So we only have 469 billion tons—not 565 billion tons, as McKibben wrote—left to spend in our carbon budget.
The trouble is that we've greatly increased population and industrialization since the start of the Industrial Revolution—it took us 250 years to burn the first half, but at our current rate we'll burn through the second half in the next 30 years.
3) The Third Number: 2,795 Gigatons: "This number is the scariest of all—one that, for the first time, meshes the political and scientific dimensions of our dilemma….The number describes the amount of carbon already contained in the proven coal and oil and gas reserves of the fossil-fuel companies, and the countries (think Venezuela or Kuwait) that act like fossil-fuel companies. In short, it's the fossil fuel we're currently planning to burn.
The new consensus from the IPCC puts this number closer to 3,000 gigatons, or 205 more than McKibben projected. Though, to be sure, it's hard to pin down, as new discoveries are made and new technologies are invented.
But what's critical for humanity is the gigatons that we can afford to burn, not what we keep on finding we can't burn. Indeed, every proposed coal mine needs to be evaluated in the same way a lobster dinner does for a person on a budget: 'Can we afford this or will it blow a hole in our budget?'
McKibben had estimated leaving 79.8 percent of the fossil fuels in the ground (565 gigatons divided by 2,795 gigatons)—a daunting challenge of math, policy and politics. The IPCC's new math is even more terrifying: 469 gigatons divided by 3,000 gigatons, or 84.3 percent of the world's fossil fuels need to remain forever untouched.
"In a way, the biggest development since the last IPCC report is the now obvious idea that we have to leave most of the carbon we've found underground," McKibben told TakePart on Friday. "Global warming is a big math problem, and the bottom line is now clearly in focus."
Mary Robinson, president of Ireland from 1990 to 1997, agreed with McKibben, telling The Guardian that governments would have to confront the harsh reality that much of their fossil fuel reserves, and accompanying economic value, would have to be left behind if runaway emissions were not to threaten the climate. "There is a global limit on a safe level of emissions," she said. "That means major fossil fuel reserves must be left in the ground. That has huge implications for economic and social development."
One item left out of the IPCC report: The impact of climate change on human society and planetary ecosystems. That section of the assessment isn't due for another six months. For now, the math alone paints a terrifying picture.

text: To those of you who have taken on the challenge of attaining professional recognition in your chosen field, kudos to you! While you may be overwhelmed by having to study for and take the test (we understand), take heart in knowing that successful test-takers who have gone before you have used common strategies that may also help you. Before stepping into a different role here at ACE, I was an ACE Study Coach for a little over five years, and I was fortunate enough to work with individuals like you who were determined to earn a professionally recognized fitness certification. In that time, I saw one key ingredient in the success of the candidates who passed their ACE exams on their first attempts: They regularly scheduled a great deal of their study time seeking out a front row seat to personally experience how the science and technical aspects in the manuals could be put in to action. They did this by attending workshops or completing home study courses related to their varied interests. So the common strategy I saw with these candidates had to do with how these successful test-takers structured their time as they prepared for their exam. Of course, they spent regular sessions throughout the week reading and testing themselves on their study skills just like the rest of their peers, but they split from the rest of the pack when they proactively sought out workshops and home study courses. Doing this served two purposes: It allowed them to hear and see how the science was applied, thereby strengthening their knowledge. These courses or day-long workshops were a welcome reward for all the hard work they were investing in their chosen crafts. These extracurricular "field trips" seemed to spark an ever-present curiosity in their approach to the material they were studying. What topics do courses and workshops cover? In my new role as the Continuing Education Coordinator, I am evaluating the content of many of these same courses. As you can imagine, many amazing conferences, workshops and home study courses pass over my desk for review. These courses have been carefully constructed by experienced leaders in the fitness industry who are presenting classes that fitness professionals can take to improve their skills at any level. And, their topics run the whole gamut — from developing choreography to mastering elements of elegant yoga poses. They provide methodology workshops on how to set up your own Boot Camps or how to market your sessions to targeted groups like AARP members. From trainings in indoor cycling to courses related to how to engage your client and start up your business to how to apply functional training and sound assessment principles in to your daily sessions, the list goes on. While we all love to learn more about exercise science, I am sure you will agree it is the application of the science that brings it all full circle. As the list of these courses is as varied as there are ways to move, all of these course presenters have one thing in common — they are savvy to the fact that involving you in a workshop or conference, or engaging you in a DVD or online course of interest, will help you begin to really grasp what you have been learning, taking your expertise to a higher level. You will begin to quickly, "get it" and you'll start to find that the following equation is true: Exercise Science + Creativity + Planning = A Career in Fitness! As a new fitness professional, you will continue to explore different paths in the industry as you finish up your studies. You will step up and take the test, and then all of a sudden — poof! — you will be out there in the fitness arena! Soon, you will be the professional who engages others as you continue to become more inspired! And, as you expose yourself to different types of courses and workshops, you will begin to get a feel for what types of clients you want to work with, and in what environment. Your expertise will kick up a notch as your continuing education now has progressed to a new level. So, what's my advice to you as you progress through your studies? Take a few continuing education home study courses, such as this free ACE IFT webinar; or, go to a local conference or workshop! Get your training for yourself, as only YOU can be your best advocate.

Petrosyan vs. Kyshenko ** Result **
The first Fight Code event of the year just ended, and Giorgio Petrosyan beat Artur Kyshenko by unanimous decision.
They met in the main event of the event, Petrosyan being the number one fighter in all of kickboxing and Kyshenko a top five fighter in the 70kg division. Many thought this might be Giorgio's toughest test yet, as Kyshenko is a huge fighter for the 70kg weight class, often taking fights far above the weight limit. Kyshenko has been top 5 for some time now. He was one of the few top fighters that Giorgio had never faced.
Petrosyan simply outclassed Kyshenko, putting on a masterful performance. It was vintage Giorgio Petrosyan, living up to his moniker of "The Doctor." Giorgio's counter punches threw Kyshenko off for the whole fight, leaving the Ukrainian fighter based out of Mike's Gym clearly rattled at points. Even when the fight turned into clinch grappling, Giorgio still got the better of Kyshenko, who was much bigger and stronger and can bully opponents.
Easily the best part of Giorgio's performance was his movement. He had Kyshenko looking clueless at times, taking angles, moving in and out. Giorgio would out-manuevre Kyshenko to such a great extent a few times that he basically had Artur's back. He would move in, throw the straight left and move right back out before Kyshenko could even get a punch off, missing by miles at times.
I've seen a lot of people say that they're "not impressed" by Giorgio's performance or thought he "didn't look good." I think that's crazy. Giorgio Petrosyan just completely shut down a top 5 fighter in the world and made him look lost for a large portion of the fight. It was truly a masterful display of technical skills to completely stifle Artur Kyshenko.

I will put this in the film room thread as wel but just in case U didnt see this

Doug Martin vs Arizona State 2011 "Las Vegas Bowl"

Redeye, whats your thoughts/film on any DE's coming in the draft this year that could fall to the 2nd or 3rd rd. Obviously you cant see the future, but some guys that could be great value in the 2nd/3rd?
[/quote]Im not really feeling any of these pass rushers to be honest with U.[/quote]Whitney Mercilus looks fantastic! I actually hope we can somehow get him to go with JPP for our future DE tandem. I think Mercilus is the closest thing to JPP since JPP.. I think he rises to far up the draft for us though.. I'm thinking Janoris Jenkins at this point because i expect mercilus, kuechly, richardson and decastro to all be gone by the time we select.. I'm now hoping for Janoris Jenkins, Chase Minnifield, Pete Konz(if he comes out), Dwayne Allen, or Jerel Worthy..[/quote]I havent disagreed with U much this season but I do disagree with U about Mercilus.I dont think he is a bad prospect but I dont see anywhere near the elite level athletic ability JPP possess's .JPP had an insane burst off the line of scrimmage,Mercilus doesnt have that.What is similar about Mercilus and JPP is the motor.Both players play hard dont take plays off and are relentless.I do like that quality about Mercilus. Mercilus isnt so much about elite athleticism but hard work.Mercilus is also pretty well refined as a player.He uses his hands and arms real well. He reminds me more of a Derrick Morgan or Robert Ayers prospect then JPP or Aldon Smith.[/quote]Got to agree w/ Redeye on Whitney Mercilus. Not a bad prospect, but nowhere near the level of JPP. I actually think Nick Perry of USC is a much better defensive end.
[/quote] Its fine to dissagree Either way Whitney is gonna be a stud and i think u lead the nation in sacks and forced fumbles when your litteraly the focus of offensive lines unless your very athletic Hes fantastic!
[/quote][/quote]I've still got Southern Cal DE Nick Perry rated higher than Mercilus.

There are various causes for infertility in women. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease known as PID is the major reason for women's infertility. It is caused by blocked fallopian tubes. Ovulation disorder is also another factor for female infertility. Birth defects involve the structure of the uterus and uterine fibroids are associated with frequent miscarriage. Age of women is also another factor for infertility because egg production from women's ovaries reduces with age.


text: To become an ACE-certified Personal Trainer, one of the hurdles you have to jump over is the famed multiple-choice certification exam. Ever since Frederick J. Kelly, in 1914, at the University of Kansas, invented this approach, students have struggled with no real clue how to approach and analyze multiple-choice questions. Some people create so much stress and anxiety over these tests that they continually postpone taking it. To help you overcome anxiety and succeed, you simply need to understand the system behind multiple-choice tests. The first anatomy lesson of multiple-choice exams is the structure of the standard question. It consists of two basic elements: the stem and the alternative answers. The stem, or the problem, is often in the form of a question or an incomplete sentence. The answers, or alternatives, contain one correct answer and several incorrect or distractor answers. Here are two sample questions that demonstrate this specific anatomy. Pick out the question and incomplete stem, and identify the correct answer and the distractors: 1. A client in the maintenance stage of the transtheoretical model of behavior change: Choose one. A. Increases his or her chances of success by focusing on minor violations and slip-ups in the program B. Is more likely to relapse if the exercise program is varied and challenging C. Is best served through activities that provide a variety of exercise routines to counter boredom D. Will be more likely to relapse if there is some degree of flexibility in the program 2. Julie has just completed an exercise confidence survey as part of her initial consultation. She indicated that she has low confidence in her ability to stick with an exercise program after a long, tiring day at work. Which of the following strategies would be the BEST option for enhancing Julie's adherence to her exercise program? Choose one. A. Recommend that she perform an extended warm-up prior to her exercise sessions following work. B. Suggest scheduling her workout sessions before work or during her lunch hour. C. Request that she take a mid-day nap so she is more refreshed for her evening workouts. D. Offer her a reward of a T-shirt, water bottle, and workout towel after completing 10 Understand that the answer is provided to you in these questions. Knowing how to properly guess helps, too. Of course, you need to know your material. But knowing how to take the test and analyze test questions is essential for success. For example, the distractors are meant to be, well, distracting. They can lead to second-guessing and anxiety if they are written well. Here's how to beat distractors. Focus on the stem. Cover the distractors (the answers) before you start reading the questions. (This is called the "cover-up" technique.) Predict the answer as you read the question. Then cross off the choices that are totally silly. Next, treat each answer as if it is true or false, and read them that way. Select the answer that appears "most true." Try rephrasing the stem as a statement with each answer as a part of it. Does it seem accurate? Answers that provide a range of numbers often hide the correct response in the middle range. The extremes are likely distractors. Watch out for words like none, never, all, always, and only. They are often keys to wrong answers. Also, be alert to the style of an option—if it is very different from the others, it may be a sign that it's incorrect. Grammar of the stem often matches the grammar of the correct answer. When "All of the above" is an alternative, choose it if at least one of the answers is true, and more likely when it appears another may be true as well. When two answers use phrasing that is very similar, it's likely one of those is the correct answer. Distractors are more typically written in a way that is opposite the correct answer. Should you change your first response if you have a nagging doubt about your answer? Many say, "no, don't change your answer." However, there is research backed by sound statistics suggesting that you should not necessarily rely on and trust your first instinct. If additional thought suggests that changing an answer feels right, know this: More than twenty studies indicate that "right to wrong" changes are about 20.2%, while "wrong to right" changes are about 57.8% (Benjamin, Cavell & Shallenberger, 1984). The point is, don't be afraid to change if you feel you have good reason to do so. Good luck in your studies and be sure to use sound test-taking strategies to identify correct answers. By the way, did you discern the correct answers in the sample questions at the beginning of the article? Hint: they follow the guidelines provided here.

Lightning lose to River Lakes boys in playoffs
The No. 8 seeded River Lakes (Cold Spring Rocori) snapped a 4-4 tie after two periods with five goals in the third session to defeat the ninth-seeded Northern Lakes Lightning boys' hockey team 9-5 in the Section 8AA play-in game on Saturday, Feb. 16, in Richmond.
The Lightning end the season 10-14 overall. The Stars, 11-15 overall, advanced to play No. 3 seed Moorhead on Tuesday, Feb. 19.
The Lightning assumed a 2-0 lead as Aspen Florey scored, assisted by Nick Olson and Kegan Couture, at 12:05 of the opening period, and then Nick Blanchette tallied, assisted by Kyle Narveson, at 13:22. River Lakes cut the lead in half late in the period when Stefan Tomovic tallied.
Florey notched an unassisted goal early in the second period to make it 3-1, but Jake Herges answered for the Stars just 45 seconds later. River Lakes tied it at 6:02 of the middle session on a goal by Ethan Parsons. Ben Moe scored one minute later, assisted by Blanchette and Gaven Bickford, to give the Lightning a 4-3 lead. A goal by Grant Thompson tied it for the Stars later in the period.
"I was happy with first period, and the second period was okay," said Northern Lakes coach Shawn Chambers. "So I thought we were the better team after two periods.
River Lakes scored the first two goals of the third period before Northern Lakes' cut the deficit to 6-5 on a goal by Olson, assisted by Florey and Alex Galligan, at 6:09 of the final period. Tomovic then netted a pair of goals in a span of 1:30 to complete his hat trick. Thompson added a final goal with 21 seconds remaining.
"We made some mistakes, and gave up two bad goals in the third period," Chambers said. "We started getting too aggressive, and (River Lakes) scored a couple more goals."
Winning goaltender Chris Skluzacek stopped 26 shots while losing netminder Mitch Stangel had 32 saves. Nick Bergeson had four assists for the Stars.
"It would have been nice to get a Class AA (playoff) win," Chambers said. "We've been in the Class AA level in four of the past six years and have not won a playoff game."
The Lightning have lost two Section 8AA quarterfinal games, and have lost to River Lakes in the play-in round the past two seasons.
Scoring leaders for the Lightning this season were Couture with 16 goals and 33 points; Moe had 24 goals and 38 points; Florey had 17 goals and 29 points; Bickford added 4 goals and 22 points; and Narveson had eight goals and 18 points.
Northern Lakes 2 2 1 – 5
River Lakes 1 3 5 – 9

[quote user="MattMeyerBud"][quote user="bigblue4417"]Had the Giants beat the Skins twice, the Seahawks and the Eagles the 2nd game they would have been 13-3 and STILL the 4th seed.
LOL so much for that theory.
But what about the SF game? lol
i saw that stat yesterday.. i thought it was ****ing AWESOME
i prefer things to of gone down the way they did knowing that.* It really contributed to where we are now and I think we are playing the best football in the NFL as of right now.
I think had we won those we might of gotten fat and complacent.
I'm over at a packers message board. Not as many ocol posters as I thought there would be.
Alot of ****** bags.* GOD do I want this game even more now.
[/quote]Fight the good fight for us over there MMB. I like the way we drove to the playoff's this year. It is better for us to play wildcard weekend, build momentum and keep rolling. We're playing our best ball at the best time.

EDA makes budget request presentation
The Crosslake City Council on Monday, Aug. 26, heard a presentation from Crosslake Economic Development Authority (EDA) President Patty Norgaard on new budget requests for 2014.
This is the first time the EDA has made such requests.
Norgaard said the budget requests would be to fund current and future EDA projects. The goal of the EDA, she said, is to support the development of a strong, diversified and growing economic base and create a favorable climate for economic development and ongoing business activities.
The EDA has provided support to several area businesses, including Rustica and Cross Tech.
Norgaard said the EDA's plans are in keeping with the city's community plan that was accepted in 2008. Norgaard said the funding would create diverse economic opportunity, attract business, create employment opportunities, support infrastructure and preserve and protect natural resources.
In all, the EDA requested a $46,000 budget. The council did not discuss the budget request, but plans to address the subject at its next budget meeting at 3 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29.
In other business Aug. 26, the council:
• Decided to send a letter to the Crow Wing County Board requesting it review its current ATV ordinances. The council received a letter from a resident requesting the council do so. The resident, Arlen Stensby, is hoping the county will allow class 2 ATVs along County Road 66. Currently both class 1 (classic ATVs that are straddled when ridden) and class 2 (ATVs with seats more resembling a car) are prohibited on the road.
• Voted to make consulting city administrator Dan Vogt the supervisory authority to the city's department heads.
• Chose to withhold $10,000 in payment to Anderson Brothers Construction after rainfall left standing pools on the new tennis courts. The withheld money will be paid after the issue is fixed and proper drainage is established.
• Accepted a generous donation from community member John Hart to the police and fire departments. Hart donated $30,000 to the fire department for a new vehicle and $10,000 to the police department for non-lethal equipment and upgrades.

With much of summer behind us, this weekend marked the return of one of entertainment's most intriguing productions – a true phenomenon. And I'm not talking about the 40th anniversary of Woodstock. Not that there's anything wrong with that groundbreaking celebration of mud, music and Free (or at least discounted) Love. No, I'm talking about the celebration of advertising, witty banter, snappy suits, dangerous curves & midday martinis otherwise known as Mad Men. (Full disclosure: it is, in my opinion, the best show on television, what with Thirtysomething off the air). So did you all catch Mad Men's Season 3 premiere last night? If you didn't, don't worry — AMC is running run it again and again so everyone gets to see what all the fabulous fuss is abut. Last night it bowed to I'm told record numbers of viewership , nor did it disappoint. Season 3 kickoff in a nutshell: Hunky Don Draper (Jon Hamm) is in a LOT of trouble with his newly preggers wife Betty (January Jones)…the ad agency has been taken over by the British (headed up by a cool but possibly dastardly Jared Harris)… Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss) can't get no respect …and Sal (Bryan Batt) might not be as happily married as everyone thinks… Pete Campbell (Vincent Kartheiser) and Ken Cosgrove (Aaron Staton) are stunned to learn the true identity of their new boss… and there's a very intense childhood flashback to do with "milk & hog fat". So tune in if you didn't already. Now… with this in mind we move to today's featured poll, and it's all about Mad Men. Well, actually, it's not. It's about Mad Men's women. Because after all, aren't these gorgeous, talented and devious broads the ones wearing the pants in the show? Sure looks that way! That said, which of these delicious ladies is your fave? Betty (January Jones) Joan (Christina Hendricks), or Peggy (Elisabeth Moss)? Let us know.

I haven't seen Mad Men yet — I still need to rent the 1st season!! I wish I wasn't such a slacker about watching it in the first place. All anyone can talk about is how great of a show it is.

Wow! Huge score for S&Z! Well deserved. Now I can enjoy the rest of the competition without the nerves. LOL
everything was literally perfect and textbook exact. i was so nervous, i made them look cautious for myself...i will get an ulcer by the end of ice dance
nooo....Italian tv is still broadcasting luge!!! I hope in a few minutes they will switch on figure skating and re-show S/Z....I'm getting so excited and can't see anything because streaming doesn't work with my connection...
wow!!! 76+!!!! thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Shen and Zhao
This is going to be the most relaxing Olympic skating event I've ever watched. S/Z put down the gauntlet, now all we need to watch is the rest of the field trying to catch S/Z and not being able to do it hehehe!
I love the Vancouver Website. Gives us the element levels immediately instead of having to wait for the protocols.
I wouldn't have wanted to skate after S/Z. 42.18 for the Estonians.
OMG - I almost cried I was so nervous. Wow - fantastic. Now I can just sit back and enjoy.
39.30 for the Poles. Time for the Americans in flight #2!
Eurosport is reairing S/Z's performance for a second!

Reviews of this property
I have already been here in 2012 and so we decided to book this B&B again.
It is perfectly located. 5 minutes away (by foot) from the Termini and 10-15 minutes (by foot) from the Coloseum. There is a metro station when you step out of the door. We didn`t use the metro at all, because we love to explore everything by foot. The room is typical italian style, old but nice. The shower head is a little bit to weak / low and the sink of the wash-bowl was not working well, but these are the only negative points. We got a breakfast coupon for a bar close to the B&B, where we could get a cafe and a cornetto in the morning. Sergio is very friendly and we loved to stay here.
The room is lovely- air conditioned which I think is important in Rome in the summer, en suite bathroom, lots of space, great kitchen and a perfect pizza take away downstairs- best pizza we've had in Italy so far.
It literally is 10 min from the Colosseum, 2 min from the underground and another 10 min from the Rome's central bus station.
Sergio is very friendly and knowledgeable, will provide you with a tourist map of the city, we just wished we had more time to spend in Rome.
Everything was really good and i definitely recommend staying at this place! Great room, nice host and a really good location - best place to stay in rome.
Our host was WONDERFUL, very helpful always and the room was very clean, very convenient, had everything we could want and more! Our room was a good size, everything worked well, plumbing & wifi, perfect, very cute kitchen and others that were staying there were very friendly & quiet, as was the neighborhood. Metro & busing were convenient, breakfast was just enough & gourmet by American standards. We'd love to come back & stay!
The entire process through Wimdu, especially with the room manager on site, Sergio was very pleasant and uncomplicated. Sergio is very attentive and courteous, explains everything you need and are a lot of tips, is polite, charming, but never intrusive. For an extra praise and a big thank you.
Our room was as described, very cozy and located primarily absolutely quiet to the backyard. In the wet everything worked.
For breakfast we were given a voucher for the bar opposite for every day. We were able to come to terms and the lady there was also very friendly, so the breakfast was not so bad and one in the morning got a taste of Roman life.
Die komplette Abwicklung über Wimdu, vor allem auch mit dem Zimmerverwalter vor Ort, Sergio, war überaus angenehm und völlig unkompliziert. Sergio ist sehr aufmerksam und zuvorkommend, erläutert alles Notwendige und gibt viele Tipps, ist dabei höflich, charmant, aber niemals aufdringlich. Dafür ein Extralob und ein dickes Dankeschön.
Unser Zimmer war wie beschrieben, sehr gemütlich und vor allem absolut ruhig zum Hinterhof gelegen. In der Nasszelle funktionierte alles.
Zum Frühstück erhielten wir für jeden Tag einen Gutschein für die Bar gegenüber. Damit konnten wir uns arrangieren und die Dame dort war ebenfalls sehr freundlich, so dass das Frühstück gar nicht so schlecht war und man schon morgens einen Eindruck vom römischen Stadtleben bekam.
Room very cozy. Near the center and the station. The host very friendly, gave us directions and a map of the city.
Habitación muy acogedora. Cerca del centro y de la estación. El anfitrión muy amable, nos dio indicaciones y un mapa de la ciudad.
Stayed for 4 nights. Excellent overall accommodation. Sergio greeted us at the door and gave some great suggestions of the sights to see and places to go. The accommodation is in a great location literally 20 seconds walk from the nearest subway. From the subway you can then reach all of Rome within minutes. We also walked a lot and it was convenient for the Collaseum and Forum, and the beautiful Santa Maria Maggiore. The room itself was nice, clean and large. Bathroom was nice. Breakfast was served in the communal kitchen, with the usual Italian sweet style breakfast fare. I would recommend Domus Cinthia. It was also very close to the Termini railway station, so convenient for our late arrival into Rome. We hope to return again someday!
Very good Bed & Breakfast close to Termini Station and next to the Metro which will bring you to all the highlights of Rome. The room has everything you need (including Airco). Sergio is a very good host with enough knowledge about all the things you can do in Rome. Choice in breakfast options is not much, so we went most of the times to a cafe at the corner of the street with fresh croissants and cappuchino.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Just saw the photos of this at EE. Beautiful work again, Bill. Really like the new script maker's mark!
Now is not the time to bother me. And it's always now. Wiley Miller
Very nice pattern
thanks guys.
Lucretia, glad you like it. I guess those engraving lessons worked huh?
very tasty Bill
Question: can the back edge of the heel section be slightly chamfered? would this help finger fatigue for people who rest their middle finger against this edge for a long time. I saw this little feature on a Kitaeji knife from Shigefusa, thought it was a good idea

As a kid I remember going over the Ridge Route when the original Grapevine section existed. Heading through Lebec, I remember seeing the old hotel on the side of the road. Even in those days it was a spooky sight, kind of a Psycho feeling. - MargyReplyDelete

Movie Review: TrollHunter
Norwegian director Andre Ovredal raises the bar for the 'found footage' horror documentary genre.
Director: André Øvredal Rating: PG-13 Studio: Filmkameratene A/S
If any balloon of pretense needed pricking, it's the whole "found footage" horror documentary thing foisted on us by the ridiculously over-praised The Blair Witch Project and successors like Paranormal Activity. That clichéd nonsense gets sent up with bone-dry wit, low humor and high style by Norwegian director André Øvredal in the deadpan and highly entertaining Trollhunter.
The idea is that we're looking at unedited, mysteriously abandoned footage from a student film crew who slowly—way too slowly—came to realize that trolls aren't just mythical ogres out of fairytales. It turns out that Norway's picturesque fjords, forests and mountains are teeming with giant, scary-funny, out-of-control trolls that must constantly be contained or else the country's human and animal population will be decimated. Who knew?
The whole movie, a little King Kong here, a little Moby Dick and Jaws there, zings with humor, and although the "students" are generic and tiresome, Otto Jespersen as the grouchy, tired, overworked, underpaid civil servant title character almost steals the show. The real stars, though, are the computer-generated trolls and director Øvredal, who stages some powerful, frightening and touching sequences—especially one on a bridge involving some poor animals and superb use of silence. You'll see.
The movie is riddled with inconsistencies, goofs and false steps (let alone its being easily 20 minutes too long) but, hey, it's a fun, silly, sometimes thrilling ride. Director Christopher Columbus has already announced an American remake. Talk about frightening.


text: I bought my 2008 GMC Sierra Denali used, I opted to get the 3 year 36000 mile warranty they were offering me. I wanted to get aftermarket exhaust installed on the truck, which would cost me 200 bucks at the local muffler shop. Well the dealership where I got the truck is trying to tell me that if I install the aftermarket exhaust, it will void my warranty, but we can do the same thing for 1000 bucks and its not going to void the warranty. So I guess my question is are they just trying to get 1000 bucks out of me, or will it really void my warranty?
