Letting Go Quotes, Sayings about moving on
It hurts to say goodbye to someone you love but it's the best for both of us to move on.
And sometimes you just have to forget about that person you once liked and move on.
It's hard to hold on to something that you know would never be yours in any way you think of, you just have to learn to let go and face the fact that while good things never last…some don't even start..
The hardest part about breaking up is letting go of the last piece of your heart.
You can't start the next chapter if you keep re-reading the last one.
Sometimes it's better to move on than to hold on to a person who doesn't understand you. Sometimes your absence will teach what your presence cannot.
It's time to forget about the past, To wash away what happened last.
Move on, it's a chapter in the past, don't close the book, just turn the page.
Lesson in life:
A wise man sat in the audience and cracked a joke. Everybody laughs like crazy. After a moment, he cracked the same joke again. This time, less people laughed. He cracked the same joke again and again. When there is no laughter in the crowd, he smiled and said: "You can't laugh at the same joke again and again, but why do you keep crying over the same thing over and over again?
I'm done. I'm done texting you first. I'm done hoping you'll call and I'm done crying myself to sleep. You're just not worth it anymore.
Leaving you was probably the hardest thing I had to do. I made this decision, with listening to my brain, not my heart. Because my heart could never take that.
I left you, without thinking about what is going to happen. I left you without thinking about giving you another chance, because I knew it would be in vain. Falling in love with you, was the best thing that ever happened to me, but somehow, it became the worst. I don't know what I feel right now, is it regret? Pain? I don't know. All I know, is that, no matter what you did to me. Leaving you created a great emptiness. That none could ever fill.
I miss you.
I don't know why I'm still waiting.
I never stopped caring, but you did, and that's why I've moved on.
Be with someone who brings out the best in you not the stress in you.
One day I'll get over you, my tears will stop falling, putting on a smile will be easier and more real. I'll stop doubting myself and I'll stop trying to make up excuses for me and your mistakes. I'll be able to laugh again. I'll be able to walk by you with my head held high with no shame. I won't have to avoid seeing you or hate the person you are currently with. I'll be able to feel beautiful again and I won't hate you anymore. I won't hate myself anymore and I won't regret being with you, because being with you taught me things that I never would have learned without you. I will realize how strong I am and I will move on. You won't be forgotten because apparently you were my first love, but I won't want you anymore and your name will be easier to say. One day I will let you go and I'll move on.

Public Education: John Adams & The New Hampshire Constitution
The controversy over funding of public education in New Hampshire continues after more than a decade of court challenges and legislative initiatives. Much of the controversy centers on a dispute about the word "cherish" as it appears in Article 83 of the state constitution. The presentation will investigate the original meaning of that term as used by John Adams, who drafted the Massachusetts Constitution from which the New Hampshire document, including the disputed article, was taken. The talk will look at Adams's understanding of the connection between public education and republican government as articulated in political writings from throughout his career.

Rush Soccer is excited to announce the launch of our new Rush MentalSkills Acquisition Program! As one of the four pillars of the game (Technical, Tactical, Physical, Mental), the Rush M.A.P. is aimed to help Rush Player, Coaches and Parents with the mental side of soccer. Please see the note below from Program Director Lee Hancock:
My name is Lee Hancock I am the Director of the new Rush MentalSkills Acquisition Program – M.A.P. I, and my assistant David, would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the program and tell you a bit about it.
The Rush M.A.P. is a free program to Rush members designed to help Rush players, coaches and parents learn about, and ways they can apply, important mental, emotional and life skills. We call it the M.A.P. because we want to establish a picture in the minds of the players, coaches, and parents that through this program we are "charting a path for success in soccer and in life" by helping them acquire and implement important mental and emotional skills to navigate soccer and life's challenging situations.
In the Rush M.A.P. we will organize our content around 5 critical MentalSkill areas. We call these 5 areas the 5cs:
- Commitment – refers to ones desire, determination, and persistence to accomplish a task – it involves giving 100% and making sacrifices
- Concentration – refers to ones ability to focus or change their focus at key times
- Confidence – refers to ones belief in ones self, of those around them, and of ones capacities and abilities
- Communication – refers to ones ability to receive and provide effective information, and to interact with and influence those around them
- Control - refers to ones ability to maintain composure and control of ones emotions in a variety of situations, in various ways and through various means
We will use the Rushsoccer.com website as a place to provide information, examples, and application ideas for each of the 5cs. We will update the website often so you should check back often to see what new things we provide.
You will see on the left side bar a "M.A.P." button. If you click it you will link to the M.A.P. program front page. On that front page you will see a list of FAQ's that we answer. In addition, if you click on the top buttons on the M.A.P. front page (Coaches, Parents, Players, PDP programs, and Staff) there will be additional pieces of information, specific to that population/area. In addition, on those subpages there are explanations and video clips of the 5cs as well as explanations on how we intend to work with each group (coaches, parents, players).
We hope you enjoy your journey using our M.A.P. as a guide and of course we hope it makes an impact on your performance as a Rush athlete, parent or coach.

It's fun to receive presents. It also feels good to give to others. So what's the best way to budget your money, shop wisely and spend smart this holiday season? TFK asked for advice from Susan Beacham of Money Savvy Generation, a company that teaches money-management skills to kids.
"My first tip is to make a list and check it twice," says Beacham. She suggests that kids talk with their families about whom to include in their gift giving and how much to spend. Start by writing down names, Beacham says. Then put a dollar amount next to each name and add it up. Do you have enough money? If not, make changes. And don't forget—not everyone needs a store-bought gift. Beacham points out that some of the best presents are free. Add to your list the names of people you want to give gifts of "time and talent" (see "Gifts from the Heart," below).
Stretch That Dollar
Take the list with you to the store, and check off a person's name after each purchase. "Make sure that you do the math," says Beacham. "If you've just spent $30 on someone you were going to spend $25 on, you're going to have to spend $5 less on somebody else." The key to budgeting is staying within the boundaries you've set for yourself.
Want to get the best deals? Beacham says skip the mall. Visit craft fairs instead. Items sold there tend to be one of a kind, and often cost less than those at traditional stores. "You'll also be able to get a lot more value," says Beacham, "a lot more bang for your buck."
Gifts from the Heart
The best gifts don't cost a thing. Kids can give "time or talent," says Susan Beacham. Here are some of her top gift ideas.
-- For mom and dad, make coupons that can be traded in for your services, such as doing dishes.
-- For grandma, write a note telling her how special she is to you.
-- For a friend, create a work of art, like a poem, a drawing or a necklace.
-- For teachers, bake a yummy treat.
-- For people in your community, show that you care by volunteering. Find out who needs your help and what you can do. Giving your time to help others may end up being the best gift of all!

With the rising popularity of triathlon racing and the dozens of new sprint races popping up nationwide every year, it is exciting to see so many newcomers giving this swim-bike-run sport a tri.
To provide some pointers on entry-level gear, even for those on a tight budget, it's important to look at each individual sport:
This sport may be the least expensive in terms of needed equipment. For women, a competitive one-piece swimsuit is ideal, because it provides less drag than a two-piece suit. Most men wear briefs or jammers.Finding a comfortable pair of goggles that fits your face (and nose) might take a few tries with different brands, but at a price of around $13 is very affordable.While you don't have to invest in a wet suit right away, given the cost between $200 and $600, it is likely that you will want one for racing. Many triathlon clubs and race organizers provide wet suit rentals. A wet suit is typically a good investment because it provides flotation and less drag to allow swimmers to glide faster through the water with less effort. A neoprene suit can also serve as a mental "security blanket" in open-water races, because it allows you to float.
The bicycle is likely the biggest purchase you'll make to get started in this sport. But once again, by shopping around, you're bound to find a great deal on a new or used bike.The toughest decision for many beginners is whether to buy a road bike or triathlon-specific bike; tri bikes typically cost more. No matter which bike you pick, finding the right bike size and a correct bike set-up are key. Look to a reputable bike dealer or a friend with bike expertise for guidance. Never ride your bike without putting on a helmet first. It can save your life in a crash, and is mandatory for racing.Helmets come in various prices (from $50 up to $200). As long as they meet the safety standards of the Consumer Product Safety Commission and are clearly labeled by the manufacturer, your head is protected. You also want to invest in a pair of cycling shorts ($20 and up) and a bike jersey made out of breathable fabric ($20 and up), a pair of gloves and sunglasses.A saddle bag ($15) with a patch kit, spare tube, compact hand pump and CO2 cartridge may sound like a luxury item, but it is the best insurance for getting back on the road when you experience a flat tire. In a race, you'll be expected to know how to change a flat tire.
Anyone who has visited a local running shoe store may have experienced sticker shock. But any good coach or long-time runner will tell you that investing in a quality running shoe will provide support and comfort, and is the best insurance against running-related injuries.
Triathlon Apparel for Race Day
Invest in at least one tri-specific garment that can be worn for the swim, bike and run without the need to change between activities. Visit your local triathlon-specific store or go online to find the right size and preferred brand. Many athletes prefer wearing one-piece suits during racing; others prefer two-piece suits.Now you're on your way to becoming a triathlete and can enjoy all the wonderful benefits this sport has to offer: Cardiovascular fitness, meeting new friends to train and race with, feeling the adrenaline rush and pride and joy of finishing your very first triathlon race and likely getting hooked on a sport where professionals and amateurs (called age-groupers) race side by side.

text: Are you looking for a new challenge? Have you considered sitting for a second ACE exam? I know, I know, some of you are just starting your studies for your first ACE exam…but now is a good time for me to put the idea in your head. Maybe you are a group fitness instructor who is being approached for small group or individual training. Or you might be a personal trainer who realizes that their client base is starting to develop more health issues as they age. ACE currently has four certifications – Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, Health Coach, and Advanced Health and Fitness Specialist. The Personal Trainer certification and the Group Fitness Instructor certification are often the first step for most candidates. To sit for the PT or GFI exam, you must have a current CPR/AED certificate and be 18 years of age or older. When comparing the PT and GFI, both require candidates to know and understand the background sciences. And guess what? That information is the same for both exams! If you have taken the PT and decide to study for the GFI…it means you may be able to spend less time reviewing those background science chapters and can spend more time learning about the specifics of being a group fitness instructor. What if you decide the HC or AHFS is what you want to tackle next? The requirements for these exams are a bit different than the PT/GFI requirements. Of course, all exams require you have your CPR/AED certificate and be 18 years of age. HC also requires that candidates hold another ACE certification (GFI, PT, AHFS) or another NCCA personal trainer certification. HC candidates could also hold a Bachelor's degree (4 year degree) in exercise science or a related field in order to qualify for the exam. AHFS qualification is a little more detailed than HC. With AHFS, candidates need everything the HC candidate needs but also 300 documented hours of work experience. Questions about what type of work experience, how you document it, etc. are best addressed by the Exam Registration department, x783 As you might have noticed, the HC and AHFS exams build off the information you learned when you were preparing for your Personal Trainer exam…one of the reasons we list it (along with other ACE exams) as a pre-requisite for taking those exams. Other things to keep in mind if you choose to sit for a second exam is that the certification exam cost is reduced for ACE professionals…passing your second exam can provide continuing education credits towards renewal of your first exam…and you build your knowledge level with every exam! Holding multiple certificates – in different areas – may also provide a benefit when searching for employment or building your client base. If you're interested in taking the next step towards your second (or third!) certification with ACE, just check out the different certification pages on our website or contact one of our Education Consultants at 1-888-825-3636 x782 for more information.

Reviews of this property
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Suzana and Tomislav's apartment. They had really thought of everything that you might need and more.
They were easy going, friendly and were also easy to contact.
Tomislav greeted me when I arrived and was really helpful; explaining directions, giving recommendations of things to do and even maps. I felt very welcome and the apartment itself was lovely, very clean and well decorated. They really go the extra mile including candles, shower gel, an iron etc. I was very impressed.
At the end of their street you find another with some nice shops, a great supermarket and tram lines which can take you directly into the centre in around 10-15mins. A taxi was around 40-50kuna, which I found very reasonable.
I would highly recommend that you stay at this apartment. I can not fault anything about my visit and Tomislav could really not have been more helpful. I greatly appreciated the thought and effort they had put in to making the apartment and service greatly exceed my expectations, and provide a very pleasant stay.
10/10 :)
Simply hammer, happy again, very modern apartment and very friendly Besitzer.zum empfehlen.ca 1.3 km from the center.

The mirror image of the Greening Earth Society is the Center for Energy and Climate Solutions, a division of the Global Environment and Technology Foundation, which describes itself as "a nonprofit dedicated to building the infrastructure for sustainable development." The center's director, Joseph Romm, presents a view diametrically opposite to that of Huber and Mills. The Internet has not inflated energy use, he says, but instead produces a net savings of energy, mainly through "dematerialization." For example, software delivered online saves energy that would have been expended on manufacturing and shipping. Other efficiencies of electronic commerce allow companies to reduce inventory levels, saving the energy needed to build and operate warehouses. Telecommuting saves gasoline.
The trouble is, measuring these diffuse effects of computer and communications technology is probably even harder than documenting the direct electricity demand of the Internet. Furthermore, the two trends are not mutually exclusive; in principle, Romm and Mills could both be right. The Internet economy could be saving energy overall but still consuming more electric power—in effect siphoning energy out of automobile gas tanks and dumping it onto the coal heaps of electric generating stations.
On the specific issue of electricity consumption, Romm points out that growth in demand actually slackened at just about the time the Internet boom began. Before 1996, according to Romm's figures, electricity output was growing at 2.9 percent per year, but since then the growth rate has been only 2.2 percent. Therefore, if computers and the Net have suddenly introduced enormous new loads, other uses of electricity must have held steady or declined.
The governmental body charged with gathering statistics about the production and consumption of electricity is the Energy Information Administration, or EIA, within the Department of Energy. Their figures on consumption come from surveys of three sectors—residential, commercial and industrial—which each consume about a third of the nation's kilowatt-hours.
The EIA data on computer power demand were summarized in February 2000 by Jay E. Hakes, who was then the Administrator, in Congressional testimony. In the residential sector, Hakes said, PCs account for about 2 percent of electric power consumption, and in the commercial sector about 3 percent. Because computers are not a significant factor in the industrial energy budget, the computer's share of total electricity use works out to 1.6 percent.
One might suppose that the government statistics would carry enough weight to put an end to the argument, but there are enough complications and inconsistencies to leave room for doubt. In the residential survey, a PC was defined as a CPU and a monitor, but printers and other accessories were relegated to a different category, "electronics," which also included some audio and video equipment. The electronics category accounted for 10 percent of residential electricity use—five times the PC segment. How much of that 10 percent should be allocated to computer peripherals? In the commercial survey, laser printers were included in the computer category, but "Internet-related infrastructure equipment" was counted under another heading. Although it seems implausible that any rearrangement of the data could make up the difference between 1.6 percent and 8 or 13 percent, the differences in classification make comparisons awkward.

text: The USFSA will send the 3rd place finisher to the Games no matter who it is. The only exception might be if it is a junior skater they dont trust at all, but even that would be silly as any youngster could benefit from the Olympic experience, and it is not like the 3rd U.S lady (whoever it is) is any threat for anything more at the Games than maybe a respectable top 10 or top 12. If Agnes is placed 3rd at Nationals for another poor LP it obviously means the USFSA is still heavy on her bandwagon (for whatever reason) so even more certainly yes she would be sent in that case. If she places top 3 at Nationals with an actual strong performance, all the more reason for the USFSA who loves her for years now to send her. If Gao places 3rd it probably means she skated extremely well (given how she is scored at Nationals past) so yes she would be sent for sure too. The only way Mirai will be sent is if she places 3rd or higher as well.

About the Program
WSU offers a minor in Art History, which is very useful and rewarding to many students, some of whom have gone on to graduate studies in this field. There are also required courses in Art History in all three majors: Studio Art, Art Teaching, and Graphic Design.
The study of Art History is an integral part of the Liberal Arts. The visual art of any given culture can help us to understand this culture's beliefs, ideals, and assumptions, many of which are not immediately apparent (even and especially our own).
At Winona State University's Art Department, Art History is a component of all three of our degree programs, and is also offered as a minor. Because our department grants degrees to working artists, teachers, and designers, the Art History offerings stress modern and contemporary developments, which are, however, built upon an understanding of tradition.
Beginning courses introduce students to the breadth of styles and traditions, while providing valuable exercises in analysis and research. Upper level courses in a range of topics expose the student to primary source material by artists and critics, scholarly sources, as well as in-depth observation and discussion, in order to incite him or her to join the critical dialogue that defines the study of art. These upper level courses also hone the student's ability to pursue knowledge independently.
With the vibrant exhibition program of the Art Department's Watkins Gallery, the nearby Minnesota Marine Art Museum, other local and regional venues, and the world-class Minneapolis Institute of Art and Walker Art Center just over two hours away, there is ample opportunity for direct encounters with the objects of our study. At the same time, Art History at WSU takes advantage of the online communication and research tools available at a laptop university. While receiving instruction in proper scholarly research, students are also drawn into the ongoing national and international dialogue that is unfolding through blogs, museum and gallery websites, and respected publications with online components. By keeping a critical and discerning eye on the art world, students will learn that art is never only historical, and that an exhibition today of objects from 1940, 1280, or 500 BCE can impact what comes out of studios next week.

Are You an Apple or a Pear? How to Eat for Specific Body Types
ACE Fit Share
April 2, 2013, 12:00AM
Is your spring cleaning well underway? Have you considered adding your kitchen to the list of items to de-clutter and revitalize? If the goal of getting healthier is a constant, ongoing process at your house, a healthy kitchen makeover may be just what your family needs.
For a whole new kitchen that supports and encourages healthy eating and quality family time, follow our three-part plan. In Part 1 you learned how to have a healthier pantry, and now we'll show you how to give your refrigerator a makeover.
Part 2: Refrigerator Makeover
If you're like most people, you eat what is easiest to find and prepare. If food is buried in the back of a full refrigerator, it is unlikely to be eaten before it goes bad. Use this reality to your advantage by re-engineering the way you stock your refrigerator to make it easier and more appealing to eat nutrient-dense foods and less appealing to eat unhealthy items. Here's how:
Step 1
To strategically stock your refrigerator, you first need to clean it out. It is best to get on a schedule and do this weekly to minimize food spoilage and to keep your refrigerator clutter-free. Remove everything from the refrigerator, give the shelves a good cleaning and trash any expired foods or other items that no one is likely to ever eat.
Step 2
Take inventory of food you need to purchase to be able to prepare your planned meals for the week. Planning your meals helps to optimize the nutritional value of your meals and minimize waste.
Step 3
Now, strategically restock.
By simply reorganizing the refrigerator—making the healthier foods easier to find and the less-healthy ones less available—you will make great strides in improving the health of your family, without even having to say a word about it! The last step to complete your kitchen makeover: countertops and tables.

This month, the nominating committee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame meets to assemble a slate to vote on for 2011′s induction class. The factors that go into deciding who should be considered for induction aren't well known — this is a pretty secretive group. What is well known is that when you look at the list of previous nominees and inductees, there is a huge, glaring omission from the artists honored by the committee. Rush, the most successful power trio of all time and a group that has sold more consecutive gold and platinum records than everyone except the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, has never even had their name on the ballot.
Music is a subjective experience and while some listeners may not appreciate the Canadian band's sound or songs, it is difficult to ignore Rush based on their track record. The Hall of Fame's mission is to honor great achievement in rock and roll. So let's consider what Rush has done: The boys from Toronto have been together for more than four decades and in their current lineup for almost that entire time. During that period, they have released 19 studio records, 8 live albums and 10 compilations: a total of 37 records. Of those, 24 were certified gold and 14 as platinum, which led to the sale of more than 40 million records worldwide.
Each member has been recognized for outstanding achievement in playing his instrument by various publications in the music press and by his fellow artists. Countless musicians — from Trent Reznor to Les Claypool, Kirk Hammett to Billy Corgan and many, many more — cite Rush as an influence and inspiration. And, approaching the age of 60, they still go out on extensive tours, playing long, three-hour sets for their fans.
All of this success has come without any real mainstream attention. They have never enjoyed much radio support and they've never had a #1 album or single in the states. The intelligentsia of the music press have always marginalized the band, going so far as to openly mock them for much of the band's career. Still, all told, the facts attached to Canada's most popular and best-selling band should be more than enough to gain induction to the museum in Cleveland, Ohio.
But there is more to the story than just the numbers, oh yes. Being geeks, we can come up with some geeky reasons why Rush should be given this one little victory and be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For your consideration:

MdM is a winner in my book too. Great smell and quality scent.
I tried Arsene Lupin today at Harrods.
I loved the opening, full and rich, but said straight-away that it was very redolent of Mouchoir de Monsieur.
The drydown is staggeringly close to MdM. Very - and I do mean very - slightly warmer, but other than that it's MdM in a wooden clad bottle being sold for £140.00.
I'll stick with MdM I think.
In a world where people smell bad, it is the personal responsibility of every Basenoter to improve the world one SotD at a time...
MdM is a winner in my book too. Great smell and quality scent.
I love all three, Dandy, Voyou and MDM and don't really think either are similar to one another, personally.
I am not familiar with MdM. I thought it had a good amount of civet. I don't smell any civet on Dandy or Voyou.
Not seeing the MdM connection but will look again - always fun to explore.
I do pick up the family resemblance every now and then with subtle whiffs of the L'Ame d'un Héros / Chamade Pour Homme side of things.
"...her fragrance all in my keeping; softly she comes in the night." Lyrics, Gordon Lightfoot, "Softly."
I love Arsene Lupin (Dandy) but find MdM a difficult wear. Violets, cardamon and leather vs. a lavender bomb with civet.
What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence
I don't see any connection. Both dandified yes, bot one a soft fougère, the other a spicy leather.

Margaret Fuller 1810-1850
(Full name Sarah Margaret Fuller) American essayist, critic, travel writer, translator, and poet.
For additional information on Fuller's life and career, see .
Fuller was a distinguished literary and social critic and pioneering feminist. As a founding editor of the Transcendentalist journal the Dial and a contributor to other influential periodicals, she was instrumental in introducing European art and literature to the United States. In addition, her Woman in the Nineteenth Century (1855) is an important early American feminist treatise.
Biographical Information
Fuller was the first of nine children born to a lawyer and his wife. She received an extensive private education and became active in intellectual circles made up of Harvard and Cambridge students and faculty, later forming longstanding personal and professional relationships within the Transcendentalist movement, including friendships with Amos Bronson Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Horace Greeley, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. She participated in various liberal educational and social experiments, including Alcott's progressive Temple School and the Fruitlands and Brook Farm communal living experiments. Fuller's efforts to involve women in the country's intellectual life included a series of "Conversations" between 1939 and 1842, lectures on history, art, literature, and culture during which Fuller encouraged questions, discussion, and independent thought. Contemporary records, including the letters and diaries of the women who participated, attest to Fuller's brilliance as a speaker. Fuller worked closely with Emerson in developing editorial policy for the Dial magazine and served as its unpaid editor for its first two years of publication; the Dial failed within a year after Emerson assumed the editorship in 1842. After publishing literary criticism, social commentary, and travel essays in Greeley's New York Daily Tribune, Fuller obtained the post of literary editor of that journal in late 1844. Traveling to Europe in 1846, Fuller sent back firsthand accounts of the Risorgimento, the Italian liberal independence movement, to the Tribune, thus becoming one of the United States' first foreign correspondents. Fuller met and may have married Giovanni Ossoli in 1847; she was returning to the United States in 1850 with Ossoli and their son when her ship sank within sight of shore. Her body was never recovered.
Major Works
Fuller is best remembered for Woman in the Nineteenth Century, an acute assessment of the personal, social, professional, and political status of American women. Highly controversial in its time, particularly in calling for all professions to be open to women, this treatise was often condemned on religious grounds: Fuller's argument for equality between the sexes was held to controvert divine intent. Her travel essays and social commentary, first published periodically, were gathered and published in Papers on Literature and Art (1846), Summer on the Lakes, in 1843 (1844), and several posthumous collections. These works included vibrant landscape descriptions, discussion of the living conditions of Native American tribes, investigation into the treatment of incarcerated women, and feminist commentary. The dispatches that Fuller submitted from Europe to Greeley's New York Daily Tribune during the Risorgimento are generally acclaimed to contain some of her finest written work; in these firsthand accounts of the Italian fight for independence, Fuller demonstrated facility with vivid, terse, and profoundly moving reportage.
Critical Reception
Most assessments of Fuller's writing note that with the exception of her foreign correspondence from Italy, her literary style is overly ornate, allusive, and convoluted. Fuller's contemporaries reacted as much to her forceful personality as to her literary accomplishments, and commented more on her character and conversation than on her published works. Meaningful evaluation of her life and works was impeded when William Henry Channing, James Freeman Clark, and Ralph Waldo Emerson produced a heavily edited volume of posthumous Memoirs, seriously misrepresenting Fuller, revising passages from her letters and diaries as well as from works written for publication. Her reputation suffered further when Hawthorne based his portrayal of the alluring but strident and manipulative Zenobia in The Blithedate Romance on Fuller. The distortions of the more famous male associates who outlived Fuller colored popular impression of her for many decades. More balanced evaluation began in 1927 when Vernon Louis Parrington offered an evaluation of her written works in his Main Currents in American Thought. Since the late 1970s, scholarship and reinvestigation by primarily feminist critics has resulted in far more accurate estimation, acknowledging Fuller's contribution to the cultural life of nineteenth-century America and as a commentator on, and crusader to improve, the status of women.

"Evans is on the cusp of making a tilt at the very crest of motorsport." The international open wheel season may have opened in January in New Zealand with the Toyota Racing Series' first round in Invercargill, but the big boys got underway last weekend.
The opening round of the 2013 Formula One season in Melbourne heralds the start of the ball rolling for many single seater championships including the all-important feeder series GP2 and GP3.
The Australian Grand Prix may not have been an edge-of-the-seat, wheel bashing passing feast, but it did throw up a few surprises. Chief among them was Lotus and Kimi Raikkonen getting their second win and looking good while doing it.
New Zealand rising single seater star Mitch Evans was at the event to get acclimatised to the heat, after testing in European winter, in preparation for the opening round of the GP2 championship at Sepang in Malaysia this weekend.
Evans has successfully negotiated his way through various formulas, winning a number of championships along the way, to be on the cusp of making a tilt at the very crest of motorsport.
Through talent, perseverance and a touch of good fortune, the Aucklander clinched the GP3 title at the last round of the championship in September last year. Now though, he has a whole new ball game to contemplate.
GP2 sits just a notch down from F1 and as such the cars are demonstratively bigger and faster than he's used to, and the talent pool is also bigger and faster. Being one of the few rookies in the field of 26 cars is hard enough, but he's also the youngest and up against drivers some of who are in their fourth GP2 season.
You don't get a gig in an F1 feeder series by being a wallflower, but Evans is realistic about his prospects at Arden International and what he hopes to achieve this weekend.
"If I can get some points in Malaysia I'll be very happy," said Evans. "That's our first goal and I'm keeping everything low key when it comes to expectations.
"There are a lot of very good drivers in the field so I don't want too high expectations. Arden are happy with where I am at the moment and we'll find out where that is on the weekend."
Evans has been good in testing working his way up the time sheets steadily to finish inside the top 10 over the three days at the last test session in Barcelona, Spain with his best time making him sixth fastest.
"It was good to test in the wet and we were really competitive in both the rain and the dry finishing inside the top-10 each time. I can't really complain about that," said Evans.
On top of dealing with the car, Evans also has to contemplate a longer season, 12 rounds instead of eight and much longer races.
"Yeah it's going to be tough both physically and mentally but I've been training hard. The cars don't have any power steering and with all the extra downforce, cornering becomes more physical. I'm happy where I am at the moment.
"It's come around quick though, I'll be speaking to you guys very soon about what my first race is like," said Evans.
As a newcomer to the series Evans will be heading to a number of tracks he's not been on before. Arriving at a new circuit has never bothered Evans in the past and now that simulators are so good, he's been getting a lot of video seat time to understand the nuances of all the circuits he'll be on.
"I've done as much preparation as I can and now it's time to get the poker game face on and go and do the best I can," said Evans.
The 18-year-old will have to be in top shape physically and mentally in Sepang. The heat and humidity are brutal and the circuit is no push over. It's long, fast and very demanding.

Truckee track | Robust Wolverines squad off to strong start
March 21, 2013
Just two years ago, the Truckee High track and field team roster consisted of eight athletes. Last year, the team more than tripled in size to 28. This year, the team has managed to double in size again, becoming the largest sports team on campus with 60 student-athletes participating.
"With this many athletes, we are hoping to have some depth and coverage in all events to score points," said Truckee head coach Diana Yale.
In their first two Mount Rose League meets the past two weekends at Sparks, the Wolverines did not disappoint, registering 22 first-place finishes, and an additional 22 second- and third-place finishes, yielding a total of 44 podium finishes.
In the opening meet on March 9, Truckee was one of five teams participating, along with Sparks, North Tahoe, Whittell and Excel Christian.
Despite the fact that it was the team's first time on an actual track this season, Truckee dominated top spots in all boys and girls sprints, including wins by sophomore Eli Delaunay (100-meter dash), senior Adam Morgan (200 and 400), sophomore Tareyn Ryan (100) and Quinn Parker (200 and 400).
In distance events, sophomore Gabrielle Rinne won the 1,600 by a 40-second margin. Truckee also dominated the relay events, with both the boys and girls taking first place in the 4×400 and the 4×800. In field events, freshman Trevor McWhinney took top honors in the high jump.
A week later, two teams were added to the original mix, South Tahoe and Incline, which provided a much larger field of competitors. Still, Truckee registered impressive results.
Senior Jake Pettit dominated in the 100, shaving nearly a second off his personal record with a 10.94. Parker improved her 200 time from the previous week, easily winning by more than a second in 26.35. Junior Tobias Ziegler won the 400 by nearly three seconds in 53.24. And Rinne won the 800 by nearly 10 seconds, in 2:26.31.
Relays were equally successful, with Truckee boys winning the 200, 400 and 800 relays and the Truckee girls did the same with the 400m and 800m relays. In field events, senior Javier Virrey took top honors in both the long jump and the triple jump.
For complete results, see http://www.athletic.net.
"It's a hard-working, talented group of athletes, and also a young team," Yale said. But with the sheer numbers that have turned up to participate, help is needed. "We are looking for coaching help in field events to round out the coaching staff."
Next up on the schedule in the 41st Annual Fallon Elks Invitational on Saturday, with 28 teams from all NIAA divisions participating.

For some reason the wording of this website bothers me... Yes, they do mention that they are 'beneficial' insects, but still.
I suppose it's not inaccurate - some folks are deadly allergic and Africanized strains can be very aggresive.
To whit: I had a pissed off bee follow me into the shop today. Would NOT leave me alone. Finally I decided to quit shooing it away (I suppose I was frozen with panic) and just sat there while the bee settled on my arm and began to LICK me.
They are dangerous I tell ya!!!


text: Howdy, My wife and I just purchased a 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 4x4 Crew Cab last night after enjoying our 2008 Tacoma for a little over 2 years. We decided we wanted a bigger truck as we're trying to start a family and would like to tow a reasonably sized trailer (5-6000 lbs). I grew up with Chevy's all around me and have finally followed in the path of my grandparents (198? S-10, 1989 Chevy K1500) and parents (1993 Chevy C3500 and now a 2007.5 K2500HD). Loving the truck so far, already burned through half a tank of gas tooling around last night. :lol: I'm more familiar with Toyota trucks right now, but have read all the way through my Chevy manual since last night and am eager to learn more about it. Anyone else out there with a 2004 that has tips and advice on them? Thanks! PS I'll post pictures as soon

The goal of cosmetic surgery is to improve a person's appearance and, thus, self-esteem by changing the way she or he looks. Cosmetic surgery can be performed on any part of the face and body.
Before making an appointment to see a cosmetic surgeon, people should consider their motives for wanting to change how they look. Because cosmetic surgery can bring lasting and dramatic changes to the outside appearance, it is important to understand how these changes may affect people on the inside.
Many physical characteristics can be successfully changed through cosmetic surgery; others cannot. Good candidates for cosmetic surgery:
All surgeries, including cosmetic procedures, carry risk. Those with a history of cardiovascular disease, lung disease, diabetes or obesity have a higher risk of developing complications such as pneumonia, stroke, heart attack or blood clots in the legs or lungs. Smoking also increases risks and interferes with healing.
A meeting with the surgeon will include a discussion of these risks and others related to the patient's health history.
Possible complications for any surgical procedure include:
It is a good idea to bring a notepad to write down answers.

Are politics preventing your local government from being innovative?
Six reasons why government is not more innovative
Steve Denning recently wrote a great post titled How To Make Government Innovative Again. In his post Denning asks the following:
Why isn't the Government generally more agile? Why isn't innovation part of everything government does? Denning's answer to these questions are: "Simple. The constraints on talented people who work in government agencies are enormous." Denning lists six reasons why government is not more innovative.
1. Public sector agencies often have no clear mission
When an agency tries to satisfy everyone, it usually ends up satisfying no one.
2. Politics often intervenes
Legislators, intent on exercising control, constrain the agency from innovating in healthy directions.
3. Agencies' core competence: survival
In a political war zone, it is not surprising that agencies develop a core competence in survival.
4. The public sector is afflicted by management fads
Public sector agencies also suffer invasions of successive management fads from the private sector. Managers learn to keep their heads down, knowing that "this too shall pass."
5. Top managers don't stay for long
The political heads of agencies are often political appointees who don't stay for long. They are sometimes dismissive of previous activities of the agency and want to launch something "new" that they can call their own. They are often gone before much can happen. In this world, it is often safer for middle managers to wait for instructions and do what they are told, rather than stick their necks out for something that might become entangled in a political dogfight.
6. Staff are often demoralized
Living in a political war zone can be dispiriting, even for people at high levels.
Almost all of the reasons that government is not more innovative or that talented employees cannot make creative things happen, stem from politics. At the local level, I believe that a professional county or city manager can make a difference on all six of the above items. A professional manager that is evaluated every year has a vested interest in establishing a clear mission. A trained professional manager that does not have to campaign to win an election and who has the authority to hire and fire department heads will select people based on qualifications and not on politics. Overall, a municipality that is managed by a professional manager, usually has less of a political environment.
If you are interested in local government that is more innovative and where talented people can make a difference with their skills then encourage the adoption of a professional manager form of government. In my home town of Buffalo, NY (the third poorest city in the nation), machine politics has created a government where politics, patronage, and campaign cash drive government decisions more than new ideas. The only hope I see for turning things around is professional management, otherwise the six obstacles identified above will not change.

7. Politicians think they're god's gift to mankind and any "innovation" they think up will always work and if it fails, it's because the bureaucracy's fault for not trying hard enough. And any attempt to change (that means, improve) their cunning plan is sabotage and must be punished.
Let's make it a top 10 list, but then let's figure out ways to be positive and change things so that we all have better government, increased citizen participation, and more innovative ideas.
I tend to agree with Shawn,it's political. Government has their own agenda and could care less about efficiency, they just want more government and more control. Consider the NSA's new Spy Center their building in Utah, can you imagine how much time and money will be spent decrypting a single document? Think of the billions in taxpayer money spent on protecting the US homeland so far,and yet they have yet to even prove the threat exists,let alone arrest a single terrorist...It's insane !

Facebook launch new photo-viewing interface – downloading now supported
Note: Usually I'd wait until somebody else had blogged about this before putting virtual pen-to-paper, so that I could refer to official sources, gather opinion and all that jazz. But I've not spotted anybody else talking about this yet, so I'm assuming it might just have launched today…?
It appears that Facebook have revamped their photo-viewing interface, launching a new overlay window which pops up when you click on a photo. You can scroll through photos a lot more easily, as well as having the option to "Download this photo" – not just on your own photos, but on those of your friends too.
Photos uploaded in hi-res (another new option Facebook added recently) can be downloaded in hi-res too, which must be giving Facebook some data centre challenges right now!
Obviously it's a bit early to guess quite how this change will embed itself with users, but it certainly seems like Facebook is upping it's game when it comes to photo hosting. Despite the fact that – my volume – it's the biggest photo-hosting platform on the internet, compared to Flickr it has long been seen as lacking in terms of functionality. The recent change allowing Hi-res image hosting, along with this new way of viewing images would certainly imply that the wheels of change are now in motion…
[Here's a screenshot showing it – though you need to try it our for yourself to get the jist of it, since the window resizes as you resize the browser, so it's quite hard to get a screenshot of!]

Suspected white supremacist gang member sentenced to prison
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A man whose name came up during the investigation into the murder of Colorado's prisons chief is headed to prison on unrelated charges.
4th Judicial District Attorney Dan May says James Lohr pleaded guilty to vehicular eluding and Possession of a weapon by a previous offender. He was sentenced to 10.5 years behind bars.
Investigators think Lohr is a member of the 211 Crew prison gang. They say his name came up during the investigation into the murder of Colorado prison's chief Tom Clements.
Another 211 Crew member, Evan Ebel, is believed to have killed Clements. Investigators think Lohr spoke with Ebel in the days before the murder. Ebel later died in a shootout with police in Texas.
The charges that put Lohr behind bars this time stemmed from an April 5, 2013 incident in which police say Lohr refused to stop when they tried to pull him over near Platte and Union. Police say Lohr threw a gun from his car during the pursuit.

Alfredo di Lello, the Roman restaurateur who created his signature sauc.e in the 1920s, might be startled to find this streamlined version that still tastes rich enough to satisfy those deep creamy-pasta cravings. The addition of zucchini boosts the nutritional profile. And when cut into thin strands, it can be twirled gracefully on a fork.

Serves 2
Prep Time 30 min
Total Time 35 min.
Step 1
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Combine broth and garlic cloves in a small saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the garlic cloves are soft, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
After the garlic has simmered about 10 minutes, cook fettuccine in the boiling water, stirring often, for 8 minutes. Drop in zucchini and cook until the fettuccine is just tender, about 1 minute more.
Step 3
Meanwhile, transfer the garlic and broth to a blender. Process until the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute. (Use caution when blending hot liquids; see Tip.) Return the mixture to the pot and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add cornstarch mixture; whisk it until slightly thickened, about 15 seconds. Remove from the heat and whisk in sour cream, nutmeg and pepper. Return the pot to very low heat to keep the sauce warm. (Do not boil.)
Step 4
Drain the pasta and place in a large bowl. Add the sauce and 1/2 cup Parmesan; toss to coat well. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately, passing the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan separately.

A dependable, drinkable water supply is an absolute must for farm enterprises. Sources in Missouri include wells, cisterns, public water supplies, springs and ponds. Other important aspects of a water supply are the quantity needed, pumping, distribution and treatment.
The following books provide more detailed information on water sources:
Information is also available from the Drinking Water Hotline, 800-426-4791.
A properly constructed well usually will provide a dependable supply of high-quality water for a long time with little maintenance. Before contracting with a well driller, you may wish to become familiar with state regulations by reading Rules and Regulations of the Missouri Water Well Drillers Law, available from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Maps and Publications, P.O. Box 250, Rolla, Mo. 65401, 573-368-2125. Current price is $2 plus $1.50 for postage and handling.
The Department of Health has available a free guide sheet on Properly Drilled Well Construction and Submersible Pump Installation. Contact your local health department for a copy or for other information.
Information on availability of water, depth at which an adequate supply might be found and other geological information may be obtained from the Division of Geology and Land Survey, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, P.O. Box 250, 111 Fairgrounds Road, Rolla, Mo. 65401, 573-368-2165.
A cistern with enough capacity can provide water for domestic purposes, but a cistern usually is not adequate for livestock.
Cistern construction, drainage surfaces and filtering equipment are important considerations in preventing contamination of the water supply. A cistern must be large enough to provide water during periods of little or no rainfall, unless you can arrange to haul water to refill the cistern. Treatment of the water should be continuous to eliminate harmful bacteria.
A properly developed spring can provide water for domestic and farm use, if the amount of water available meets the needs through the year.
Springs do not necessarily provide safe water for drinking without treatment. In Missouri, the Department of Health will approve spring spring water supplies for domestic purposes if the spring is properly improved and water tests are satisfactory.
Ponds are a water source in many areas where other supplies are not available.
To be satisfactory, the pond's watershed should be about 10 times the surface area of the pond in clay pan areas. The entire drainage area should be grassed and free of livestock. A buffer strip at least 100 feet wide from the edge of the water should be grassed and free of shrubs and trees and livestock.
Pond water for domestic use should be filtered and treated. The filter may be a commercially available type or constructed on the site.
Many areas of Missouri have public water supplies available. Where available, this usually provides a dependable water supply that is constantly monitored and treated.
When other options are available, evaluate the cost of water. This includes the cost of developing, managing and maintaining a private system.

FDE: Virgin Machine vs. Full Machine
Anyways, it got me to wondering this...
If a person wanted the safest of safe end-effect from *software* Full-Disk Encryption (FDE), would that mean that the FDE software should be installed on a "virgin" machine before it was ever used, OR could you have a computer with tons of personal data on it - including residual data that was "deleted" yet not truly erased off the face of the HDD - and still encypt every last bit on the HDD??
(To clarify, this would be for a conventional magnetic HDD, and NOT one of the newer Flash drives.)
My fear is that if I installed something like TrueCrypt on my 4-year-old laptop, that there might be sector or blocks with: Old Cache Files, Data Deleted but not Erased, and so on that might somehow escape being encrypted?! (It seems like *software* FDE encrypts maybe 99% of your HDD, and I am worried about that last 1%...)
Does that make sense?
I am asking this for two reasons...
1.) I hope to buy a new MacBook Pro later this week, and I want to know if I need to set up FDE *before* actually using it to get the best effect?
2.) I have this ancient MacBook that has maybe 400GB of data on it, and I'm curious how effective installing something like TrueCrypt on it would be? (Would doing that so late in the game really protect ALL of my data, or just most of it?!)

Fried Ice Cream
Fried Ice Cream
1 quart vanilla ice cream
3 cups crushed vanilla wafers
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 egg whites
2 quarts canola oil for frying
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, scoop the ice cream into 8 1/2-cup sized balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Place in freezer and freeze until very firm, about 1 to 2 hours.
In a large bowl, lightly beat egg whites until they are slightly foamy. In another bowl or shallow dish, combine the wafers and cinnamon.
Roll the ice cream balls in the egg whites, then in the wafer mixture. Make sure the ice cream is completely covered. Place back on the baking sheet and freeze again until very firm, about 3 hours.
Place the canola oil in a heavy saucepan or deep fryer. Heat the oil until it is 375 degrees. Arrange paper towels on a plate (for draining the ice cream).
Using a basket or slotted spoon, place the ice cream balls in the hot oil. Fry one or two at a time. Fry for 10 to 15 seconds, just until the coating is golden. Place briefly on the paper towels to drain off oil.
Serve immediately.

Jan RN - I love your quilting. The dove is great.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Jan RN - I love your quilting. The dove is great.
I think these are some of the prettiest blocks I've seen. The colors are all so different. And the piecing-I thought we'd slack off a little, but no--you all nailed these blocks. Beautiful!!
It's great to see how different people express themselves with the same blocks. I enjoy looking at these. They are all beautiful.

Awareness about power conservation and even production is growing among milk producers
Too cheap for too long, dairy producers have tended to take energy costs for granted. But no more.
If the U.S. gas shortages of 1973 and 1979 were warnings of things to come, $4 diesel is proof that the days of cheap fuel and wasteful ways by farmers are gone. In their place is a growing understanding that they must use less energy, do more with it, and look at ways to produce some of their own.
It's a message that came through brightly at the 11th annual Northwest Harvesting Clean Energy Conference this week in Boise, Idaho. Featured on the program were early adopters who explained why and how energy efficiency makes both sense and dollars. One was a farmstead cheese maker who milks 60 cows. Another was Tony Vander Hulst (pictured here), a partner in Westpoint and Southfield Dairies in Wendell, ID, that milk 5,500.
According to 2010 milk production cost summaries gathered by the dairy accounting firm Genske, Mulder & Co., utilities and fuel and oil combined cost an average of $137.58 per cow per year. That not only makes energy the eighth largest production cost on dairies, but it's also one of the fastest rising.
Improving energy efficiency can be as simple and modest as switching conventional light bulbs with compact fluorescents, or as dramatic as replacing milking parlor pumps with variable-speed units. Truly jaw-dropping savings have been seen after utility company audits of irrigation water pumping practices and system reconfigurations.
A handful of pioneers in production of renewable energy also explained why they got started, how they're doing it, and what they've seen so far. Their stories were, frankly, illuminating both in terms of what is already being done on dairies and what the future may hold for the entire industry.

You are like a scorn ex girlfriend when it comes to the NBA.
cuz it's so ****ing corrupt, dude. youre so blinded because 90% of the time, it's your team doing the ripping off....
I mean, i KNOW youre upset if you dont get Paul....but, this trade STUNK of bull**** from the moment it was announced. A team owned by the NBA, who is tring to sell the team....and they are A) dumping one of hte best players in the league for NOTHING...to a team who is STEALING him, and MAKING MONEY OFF THE DEAL!!!!
And you think for some reason this is normal???

And then you post some twitter feed of a guy who called the NJ offer of 2 first rounders and a center for Howard "garbage"? quit drinkin the koolaide bro....
[/quote]
No Pizz, you are blind. The Pau trade at the time seemed bad but it turns out it was great for both teams. We gave them 3 first round picks and Marc Gasol who is a top 5 big man. The Grizzlies have totally rebounded as a franchise because of that trade.
Every NBA head on every website and TV show says the trade was completely fair and if anything the Lakers gave up too much. We traded the 6th man of the year and one of the best PF's in the game.
The Hornets were getting Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, Gordon Dragic, Lamar Odom plus draft picks. Those are 4 above average players. That team is better than most of the starting lineups in the NBA right now. They would not have found a better deal anywhere.
The Nets traded a 19 year old rookie and 2 1st rd picks for D Will. Arguably the best PG in the game. You are complaining about our trade? lol
It's not some guy either, It's John Hollinger. He probably knows more about the NBA than anyone. Granted it's his opinion but you get Lopez and 2 picks in return. If those picks bust out you got nothing for him. It's really not that good of a deal but I think the Magic would be dumb not to take it. Unless we offer Pau and Bynum which we may be doing now.

Reality television programs have become increasingly popular. Producers seek controversial and sometimes bizarre topics and situations. Remote island survival contests, talent shows, obstacle courses, frantic cooking competitions, beach house antics, and weight-loss challenges provide entertainment for many viewers. One of the most popular is called "The Biggest Loser."
Reality, as we all know, is far different than reality TV. A more sinister contest can take place around the bidding process for school building projects. It's called the Loser's Club. And, if you are not careful, your district could play a starring role.
Dishonest contractors have numerous ways to take advantage of districts, but the Loser's Club scam is among the most insidious. Vendors work together to position themselves for best advantage, leaving victimized districts with significantly inflated construction costs. How does it work?
School construction projects have always been a prime target for fraud because of their size and complexity. Typically, several contractors make competitive bids on a project. However, in tough economic times, contractors recognize that competition forces margins to be cut razor thin, resulting in minimal profit.
To resolve this dilemma, an unscrupulous group of contractors may collude. For example, all but one company will refuse to bid. A single contractor then submits an inflated bid, winning the contract with a hefty profit margin. The non-bidders, who make up the rest of the Loser's Club, don't win this time. But they are well-positioned to win upcoming projects because each vendor takes a turn at winning a contract.
