Graceful Degradation & Progressive Enhancement
Graceful degradation and progressive enhancement are two sides of the same coin. Both are — in this context — applied to make a web site accessible to any user agent, while providing improved aesthetics and/or usability for more capable browsers. The difference between the two is where you begin your approach.
Some time ago I wrote an article here about two very different approaches to web design: Visual Vs. Structural. The concepts of graceful degradation and progressive enhancement relate closely to those two approaches.
Graceful Degradation
Graceful degradation is the older of the two concepts. The term is also used in fields other than web design, such as fault tolerant mechanical or electrical systems.
The premise for graceful degradation is to first build for the latest and greatest, then add handlers for less capable devices. In other words, focus on the majority before catering to those outside the mainstream. This is quite similar to the visual approach of web design, where the first priority is to make it look good to most visitors.
A familiar example of graceful degradation is the
alt attribute for images. When used properly it provides a text equivalent that conveys the same information as the image to users who cannot perceive the image itself. The text equivalent is most likely not as aesthetically pleasing, and an image can say more than a thousand words, so the user experience is slightly degraded.
Using layout tables may be seen as one form of graceful degradation: if the CSS styling cannot be applied — e.g., in really old browsers — at least the basic page layout is retained. But it doesn't work very well for text browsers like Lynx and some mobile phone browsers, which do not support tables.
Another common occurrence in sites built from the graceful degradation point of view is the
Example One

Services

The JavaScript function may create a menu where "Products" and "Services" have sub-menus that drop down, fly out or expand when the user's mouse pointer hovers over the main items. The non-JavaScript alternative provides immediate access only to the main items, while the sub-menus are (presumably) included in similar
noscript elements on the respective interior pages.

I am having trouble with uploading my transect data. I go through all the steps but at the end when I click "save" it goes back to the first page and at the top highlighted in red is this notice,
Notice: Undefined index: occurrences in iform_dynamic_transect_sections_sample_occurrence::wrap_species_checklist_with_subsamples() (line 241 of D:\web sites\drupal7\sites\www.beewalk.org.uk\modules\iform\client_helpers\prebuilt_forms\dynamic_transect_sections_sample_occurrence.php).
and at the bottom of the page it says "An error occurred, invalid argument supplied for each".
Can anyone shed some light on what is going wrong because I haven't got a clue? All the data I enter in each box is correct.
Appreciate any help.
Hi Twiggy,
Could you let me know the name of your transect, so I can have a look?
Hi Richard.
My transect name is Birnie and Gaddon Loch LNR (in Fife). I have actually sorted this problem, it was just how I was entering the data, but thank you for offering to look.
I do have another problem. I hadn't finished filling in the habitat description of my transect but after I entered the data for my first walk I was unable to select any of the habitat options to complete my details. Would I be able to submit the habitat description to you or would it be better if I just started again with my online account?
Sorry to be any trouble
Hi Twiggy,
Yep, you can't change your transect data once you've submitted sightings - obviously we want the analysis to be based on what was there at the time! If you send the habitat data to the beewalk email I'll sort it
No problem. I will do that asap.
Thank you!

Outdoor Family Weekend Workshops Added Near D-FW, San Antonio
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Outdoor Family program is adding new weekend workshop dates in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Hill Country/San Antonio regions for the upcoming winter and spring months, after expanding into state parks around Austin and Houston this past summer and fall.
Workshops in state parks cost $55 per family (up to six people), and include individual car camping sites for each family, restrooms with hot showers, professional Park Ranger-led programs and instruction, overnight state park police officer public safety and security, a curriculum developed specifically for use and enjoyment of a state park, and state park Junior Ranger certification programs. The entire approach is 'Leave No Trace' Certified so it's environmentally friendly.
"There's no experience or equipment necessary for these workshops," said Chris Holmes, a state park regional interpreter who is organizing the new workshop series. "We recognize that many people in today's increasingly urban culture don't have the same skills or backgrounds as earlier generations of Texans. These weekend workshops offer a supportive environment where families can get started in safe and comfortable settings."
For example, the schedule for one upcoming state park weekend includes pitching tents, fire starting and outdoor cooking, and morning and night-time guided talks or tours with park rangers. Most workshops also include activities such as introductions to fishing, kayaking and trail adventure and exploration through GPS and geocaching.
In addition to the basic camping skills workshops, several sites will host special themed events. An introduction to backpacking workshop will be hosted at Enchanted Rock State Natural area. At Lake Casa Blanca State Park near Laredo, an interpreter for Spanish speaking campers will be available. Other special activities, such as river kayaking, sea kayaking, caving, and Dutch oven cooking, are offered as well.
For workshops in state parks, families are expected to bring their own food for the two-day workshops, and a suggested shopping and packing lists for meals and personal items will be provided.
These Texas Outdoor Family workshops are also offered at partner sites such as city and county parks. Fees for these workshops vary, but include all meals and typically the fee for a family of four is $150.
Toyota has come on board as a sponsor of Texas Outdoor Family, helping provide funding for equipment to make the weekend workshops possible, and more sponsors are being sought who want to help introduce families to nature and the outdoors.
Visit the Texas Outdoor Family Web page for more information, including the complete schedule of weekend workshops. Check the web pages regularly, as new workshops continue to be added to the schedule.
Families can register by calling (512) 389-8903 and speaking to a Texas Outdoor Family representative Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-to-6 p.m., or send e-mail to email@example.com anytime. After registration, a confirmation packet with directions and details will be sent.

How does a university grow while drastically reducing its impact on the environment? As paradoxical as this challenge sounds, Yale has embraced responsible growth as a critical part of its mission. The University is rapidly expanding—both in terms of its physical infrastructure and as a source of world-class research. As we grow we must find innovative approaches to minimize environmental impacts. Yale's commitment to responsible growth is evident throughout the University's scenic campus.
Yale's status as a sustainability leader is demonstrated by the release of its Sustainability Strategic Plan 2010-2013. The plan is a framework of goals and targets designed to advance Yale's efforts over the next three years. It recognizes the complexity of the University as an organization and focuses on best practices that conserve natural resources, create positive work environments, improve public health, and strengthen partnerships with the New Haven community.
Building on more than 300 years of dynamic history, Yale continues to set the pace for change. All over campus, men and women with varied interests develop cutting-edge practices and technologies, contribute to scholarship, and educate leaders who will help to set new standards for a more sustainable 21st century. As you learn more about Yale's efforts, keep in mind how you can bring it back to your organization, your community, and your home.

Has anyone tried Rabbitt TV? Sounds interesting but it also reminds me of Magic Jack, which I tried also. I had middling success with Magic Jack, at times I found it great, other times it would drive me mad.
Rabbitt TV promises something like 10,000 TV stations on your computer. If I could pull up the Reds home games I'd be satisfied but I'd use it for other teams as well. I carry my laptop with me when I'm on the road (which is often) and it claims to work in those also. So, ya' just throw it inthe bag and plug it into a USB port when you get to the hotel, plug it in and, with internet, it should be good to go. I'm not clear if it will work with wi-fi or not.
I've currently got Direct TV and their baseball program can get a little expensive and isn't portable. Rabbitt TV is currently offering one of these little plug-ins for $10.00 and no monthly fees.
Any help/thoughts would be appreciated.

BATAVIA, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio's governor and other officials are welcoming a food packaging and tableware company to a planned new site that will bring jobs to southwest Ohio.
Gov. John Kasich (KAY'-sik) will greet executives of Huhtamaki (HOO'-tuh-mah-kee) in Batavia around noon Tuesday. The company whose parent is based in Finland says it plans to invest at least $60 million in the site over the next three years and to create 237 jobs.
The company plans to make paper drink cups and distribute a range of products from a new converting facility and distribution center. It's at the site of a former Ford Motor Co. transmission plant, which also includes a University of Cincinnati campus.
Ohio, Clermont County and other local officials have worked with the company on the site and tax incentives.

The animals being summoned are they afflilated with only one village? i mean if Naruto from the Leaf summons a Toad then would someone from the Sand or Cloud also be able to summon a Toad?
188.8.131.52 (talk) 16:45, June 24, 2013 (UTC)
Why not? The stone statues at Mount Myōboku were those who have previously failed to master Sage Mode. They are likely much older than Konoha itself or even Shinobi system for that matter--Elveonora (talk) 17:49, June 24, 2013 (UTC)
Databooks state that these animals loyal to a specific village. That's why it's added to their infoboxes. It doesn't make much sense for an animal to be able to be summoned by ten different villages either way.--Cerez365™(talk) 13:27, June 25, 2013 (UTC)
Not toads though to my knowledge. EDIT: never mind then. Wouldn't their affiliation come through Jiraiya though? Else why aren't majority of Konoha shinobi toad summoners? Not to mention the blood contract scroll contained only a few fingerprints.--Elveonora (talk) 13:52, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

We're seeing dreamy wedding backdrops everywhere these days, so we thought it high time to create one of our own. And with a bit of crate paper, streamers and string, you can too. It's easier than it looks—we promise!
We measured a six foot string (butchers twine will do just fine). Then we measured 16 foot strips of crate paper and metallic streamers and knotted them at the top of the string, so 8 feet would fall on each side.
Tie each piece close together and be sure to alternate colors/textures as you go along. You can even fold the crate paper to create waves, or trim the sides to get a cool effect. Once you've covered the entire string, you're done. A voila! Use it as a backdrop for a photo booth, the dessert table or gift table.
If you try this idea yourself, or if you have any DIY ideas to share, send your photos to firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll post them for all of our fans and followers.

Kevin Smith
Name at birth: Kevin Patrick Smith
After finishing film school Kevin Smith made the low-budget comedy hit Clerks (1994), a classic in the cinematic sub-genre of "slacker movies." His other movies, Mall Rats (1995) and Chasing Amy (1999), featured many of the same characters and actors, and Smith carved out his own niche of the movies, a screen world littered with pop culture references like comic books and convenience stores, all conveyed in coarse but snappy dialogue. Actors who frequently appear in his films include Ben Affleck, Jason Lee and Matt Damon. Jason Mewes and Smith himself appear in his films as Jay and Silent Bob, respectively, two idle stoners who pop up for added comic relief. His other movies include the irreverent comedies Dogma (1999) and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001).
Smith co-executive produced the Damon-Affleck hit Good Will Hunting (1997)… Smith owns a comics store in New Jersey, and Jay and Silent Bob have been featured in the comics as well as an animated television series.

Evaluate this!
So as we've discussed, April has come and gone with many exciting awareness activities to prove it. Now that we are well on our way to Mid-May, brains at NSVRC are turning over the next campaign. Before we get ahead of ourselves, we want to make sure that as we move forward we take time to reflect, listen and learn about the past campaign.
This process is more officially called evaluation. Yes, it's about measuring, evidence, and the brass tacks that can be difficult to get excited over. But it's also about exciting things like hearing opinions, perspectives and ideas that enable us to draw lessons from past work to innovate for the future. Now that is exciting!
So what does evaluation looks like? Believe it or not, it's a rectangular or round piece of glass that reflects light. No wait, that's the definition of a mirror. But follow me; the process of evaluation is all about reflection. The NSVRC role is to get in front of the mirror and take a look at SAAM, ourselves and what may or may not be flattered by the artificial lighting. And you, as readers, friends and participants in this movement to end sexual violence, must use this mirror to see yourselves. That's right, because we need you and your insights in order to learn from and develop the SAAM campaign.
It goes without saying that we already ask a lot of you. All April long we asked you to show up in your community and online to represent the power we all have to end sexual violence. We ask you to be an advocate for healthy sexuality, an active bystander, a year-round agent of change who shares these messages with others too. We ask you to wear teal and participate in sexual violence prevention. We even ask you to read and comment [hint, hint!] on our blog posts. This is why you are awesome.
Now we are asking you to rev up that voice once more and get vocal with us. Please take the time to participate in the SAAM survey, and use your voice to help this campaign and movement grow. (Bonus: you could win a SAAM prize pack! Survey closes May 31.)
We are asking you to be honest, opinionated and straight-forward. SAAM doesn't want to go all April long with a spinach-filled smile in an effort to preserve feelings. We truly would like to know what worked, what didn't and how we can further support you, your campus, center or community. In the long run it will be well worth the growing pains.
Your time, involvement and feedback are deeply appreciated! Thank you!

HOUSTON - Two children are recovering in a hospital after they were burned by a downed power line.
The 3-year-old boy and 5-year-old girl were playing in their back yard in the 3200 block of Nutwood in northwest Harris County around 1:30 p.m. Sunday and came into contact with a power line.
"He blew the end of his finger off and the other took a piece of her toe off," uncle Cecil Davis said.
Officials said the power line was dangling in the yard for a few days and wasn't live, but it somehow came into contact with a live wire.
"My husband looked over the fence and the kids were down," neighbor Lauri McNeill said. "She wasn't breathing for a while. Her dad was doing CPR, finally got her to breathe."
Both children suffered second-degree burns and were rushed to Shriners Hospital in Galveston in critical condition. The girl had burns over 30 percent of her body and the boy was burned from the waist down, relatives said.
"I don't know if they were playing on it or if she tripped over it or what," Davis said. "The wind was blowing and, I guess, it banged against the transformer as it blew."
Children's Protective Service officials said they are looking into the situation.
"Two kids playing in their own back yard, minding their owned business and get burned and CPS wants to step in? Something is wrong," Davis said.
Davis said the children's father reported the downed line about two weeks ago.
"They said it was no problem because it was just a guide cable," Davis said.
CenterPoint Energy officials went to the home after the incident.
"After making the scene safe, we began conducting an investigation to determine what happened," a statement from CenterPoint Energy read. Additionally, we are in the process of reviewing phone records to determine call history on the account."

Our season-long garden party Summer Fest 2012 welcomes food and garden bloggers to feature garden-to-table recipes and tips. We'll feature favorite garden-to-table recipes and tips to help you enjoy the bounty, whether you're harvesting your own goodies or buying them fresh from the market. Fresh this week: apples.
Here are seven ways to cook apples into a delicious dessert:
1. Apple Crumble Bars (pictured above)
Turn a traditional apple crumble into a hand-held bar treat. Spread an apple butter and dried apple filling into an oat and flour base before scattering with streusel topping.
2. Dutch Apple Cake
Rachel Allen makes a Dutch apple cake that features a sugary crust. The apples sink to the bottom of the cake as they bake leaving a light sponge on top.
3. Salted Caramel Bread Pudding with Caramelized Apples
Combine the classic flavors of salted caramel pot de cream and cinnamon apple cake into this new take on bread pudding. Serve the gooey pudding topped with bourbon-doused apples.
4. Apple Turnover
Caramelize Honeycrisp, Cortland, Spartan or Empire apples and spoon into puff pastry for Chuck Hughes' tender turnover that goes great with soft, fresh sheep's or goat's milk cheese, yogurt or ice cream.
5. Apple-Studded Brown Butter Streusel Coffee Cake
Use Fuji or Gala apples to get the right texture. Since the cake should be tender, a tender-sweet apple is important. From the buttermilk batter to the deliciously nutty flavor the browned butter, this cake could become highly addictive.
6. Quercyan Apple Cake
Fill this French cake with eating apples that have been macerated in sugar, rum, orange flower water and lemon peel overnight so that they stay crisp and delicious.
7. Apple Crisp
Kelsey Nixon's 5-star apple crisp is a classic fall favorite. Sprinkle a toasted nut and oat topping over baking apples before baking until bubbling. Serve with warm vanilla bean ice cream or fresh whipped cream.

"Budget" has always been a word I kind of hate. It really kills the joy of shopping for, well, anything. But of course, it's a very important factor when it comes to BAB weddings.
I fell in love with the Wtoo Olivia gown in oatmeal. I went to try it on and absolutely love it. I have been trying to find a used one to buy, but they are still out of budget. Do you have any ideas of similar looks I could try? I can't seem to find anything like it. Thanks!!!
After chatting with our BAB, it turns out her magic number is $800. There's always an opportunity to have fun on a budget. This is no different. As always, the key is being open-minded when it comes to all the little details…
Wtoo Olivia Gown ($1,344 at Best Bridal Prices)
Nicole Miller Keyhole Goddess Gown ($630 retail, $100 rental at Rent The Runway)
Reem Acra Florence Gown ($3,000 retail, $400 rental at Rent The Runway)
Taffeta Ball Gown with Layered Tulle Skirt ($299.99 at David's Bridal)
Badgley Mischka Strapless Lace Gown ($715 at Shopbop)
BCBG Max Azria Magnolia Strapless Gown ($523.60 at Shopbop)
Silk Strapless Vintage Wedding Dress ($550 at Ann Taylor)
Tulle Ball Gown with Asymmetrical Draped Skirt ($699.99 at David's Bridal)
The color is the hardest thing to really match up. Not all these options hit that hue right on the head, but we play around with a palette that goes from white to peachy pink to a golden, movie star hue. Hopefully there is something in here that catches your eye!

Located in New York City, SCEPA is at the center of a network of leaders dedicated to progressive and innovative education and ideas.
SCEPA faculty are investigating the economics of climate change, from mitigation proposals to implementation.
SCEPA focuses on the U.S. economy, with an awareness of the global context of domestic economic developments.
A research institute within The New School's Economics Department, SCEPA is dedicated to collaboration between today's experts and tomorrow's leading economists.
SCEPA is working to reform a retirement system that is failing Americans.
- On Capitol Hill
- On Wall Street
- In the Press
- Policy Reform Work
Our projects are designed to empower policy makers to create positive change. With a focus on collaboration and outreach, we provide original, standards-based research on key policy issues.
SCEPA joined with the Economic Policy Institute on Capitol Hill to brief congressional staff and policy experts on tax expenditures, or incentives given through the tax code without scrutiny by Congress.
SCEPA economists are working on the prospects for a more progressive economic order to emerge from the shock of the recession. They have published papers and documents that place current events in a longer-term context as well as policy proposals to deal with short-term concerns. They are also documenting the emerging discussion of how the discipline of economics is reacting to the Great Recession and the questioning of conventional economic analysis.
Lance Taylor, a SCEPA Faculty Fellow, presents an overview of his new book, Maynard's Revenge, in a Google Tech Talk.
The book, published this November by Harvard University Press, is a timely analysis of mainstream macroeconomics, posing the need for a more useful and realistic economic analysis that can provide a better understanding of the ongoing global financial and economic crisis.
The government spends $143 billion through tax breaks in an effort to expand pension coverage and security. Yet, over half of the American workforce does not have a pension. Retirement insecurity hurts business plans, workers' lives and retiree well-being. Reform is needed.
SCEPA's Guaranteeing Retirement Income Project, sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation and in collaboration with Demos and the Economic Policy Institute, has a plan to guarantee safe and secure retirement income for all Americans.
SCEPA and EPI Host Capitol Hill Briefing on Tax Expenditures
- Details
On October 18, 2010,SCEPA and The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) joined on Capitol Hill to present a briefing titled, "Federal Budgeting for Retirement Security: Examining Tax Expenditures for 401(k)s and Other Retirement Plans." The event brought together a bipartisan panel of experts on the issue of tax expenditures and attracted a crowd of congressional staff, economists, advocates, and members of the press.
The event documented the limitations and costs of tax expenditures for private pension funds and presented responsible budgetary reforms for consideration by President Obama's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform.

I am sick of throwing out the boxes from Tic Tacs all the time and have now found a new use for them. Knit these people to place over the boxes. They have many uses:
a cover for your Tic Tacs in you handbag
a tooth box for the tooth fairy to put money in
kids can pass secret notes to each other inside
give one to each guest as a goody bag at a birthday party
sew up the bottom to enclose the box totally, fill with beads and make a rattle
They are knitted on 2 needles with just one seam up the back. Use 8 ply (worsted) yarn. A great project for a beginner.

Although the recently passed continuing resolution provides the Defense Department with an additional $10 billion that has allowed it to lighten up on planned furloughs, there remain serious shortfalls in funding that defense officials worry pose a readiness crisis.
The CR's added spending helps offset some of the most pressing financial issues, and it reduces sequestration's blow to the Pentagon from $46 billion to roughly $41 billion, according to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
Nonetheless, additional costs in overseas operations and a $22 billion shortfall for this fiscal year in operations and maintenance accounts mean that officials are scrambling to determine spending priorities.
"The biggest issue that we're going to be dealing with ... is the department's people and its mission, how these numbers are going to affect all that," Hagel said at a DOD press conference March 28. "How do we protect that? How do we implement that? We're going to be doing that with less. Where do we and how do we prioritize the threats and then the capabilities required to deal with threats? We'll continue to do everything possible."
Hagel, who recently directed Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey to conduct a comprehensive strategic review, admitted to uncertainties in what has become a strategic juggling act of financial and security priorities.
"This is an imperfect process," Hagel said. "Any decisions we make -- and we'll have to make some and will make some -- will be within the context of that imperfection, but we don't have any choices but to get through a very significant analysis...intensifying a review on everything."
Dempsey, also speaking at the press conference, said that the urgency of decision-making means the Pentagon must trade, to some degree, future readiness for sustained current operations.
"The uncomfortable truth is...on Monday, we'll be halfway through the fiscal year, and we'll be 80 percent spent in our operating funds," Dempsey said. "We don't yet have a satisfactory solution to that shortfall, and we're doing everything we can to stretch our readiness out."
The officials said some cuts are already being achieved by reducing training for non-deployed units and cutting back on base operating support, in addition to the furloughs. Although they have been able to reduce the number of furlough days from 22 to 14, which Hagel said will save DOD around $2.5 billion, there still is not enough flexibility to overcome serious concerns about military readiness.
"I want to make special mention of the word flexibility. To us, that just doesn't mean transfer authority and reprogramming," Dempsey said. "Those are necessary, but insufficient. I mean what I would describe as full flexibility. I'm talking about the unpopular, but unavoidable institutional reforms that will be necessary."
Among those unpopular reforms: cuts to facilities and equipment, as well as changes to acquisition processes and compensation structures, he said.
While both he and Hagel stressed that readiness will remain top priority, Dempsey said the current situation is both a period of readiness crisis and a period of adjustment.
"We're in the midst of trying to figure that out," Dempsey said. "This is not the deepest [contraction of defense budgets], but it is the steepest. This is the steepest decline in our budget ever."

Before you furlough all those folks, why don't you look at what DoD systems are "stove piped" and need to be eliminated through an enterprise environment? You could start with ALL Naval Logistics Systems on the East Coast.
Must be the new fuzzy math. All for political theater at the expense of the Federal serfs....
I remember at the onset, the DoD's big cut was $46 billion. Furloughs were to make up $5B with DoD having to find an additional $41B elsewhere. With the CR and additional $10B now DoD is saying they have to find the $41B in cuts because the additional funding received in the CR reduces the amount that they have to cut. If the furloughs made up that $5B then why now do we have to do furloughs in DoD at all? As a matter of fact, why isn't DoD now looking at just $36B to make up? I don't get the math here.
Simple, efficient, but not-union-possible solution -- demand managers / commanders at all levels furlough poorest rated one-third of their office an additional day per pay-period. I'll be office effectiveness will actually go up.
After three years of no raise, civil servants are being told that, due to poor planning and failed oversight, civil servants need to bear a significant portion of DoD budget shortfalls. Civilian policies are fair game, but we need to stop making existing civil servants the whipping boys for policy disputes, and the bank for funding shortfalls.

Well her didn't DNF but he didn't come close to anything he was really happy with. However 4 weeks later he took off an hour and 10 minutes giving himself a nice PR (for him).
So I will probably slug through Monkey with Drew and Shan.
The Greatest of All Time
If you were in 2:55 shape earlier in the year....I would think that slugging through a marathon for you would be running it at my pace.
So you're invited to run with me if you like
Yea yea...I heard you....knee surgery...no running....chicago...monkey...blah blah.
Oh Mighty Wing
It is so cool to train for that first marathon and run a farther distance that you have ever ran before! I learned a lot about discipline and mental toughness and how to run that far. But, I think I learned the most about proper fueling and hydration......the hard way.
S&M Collector
mental toughness... yeah we shall see how this goes as school starts back up. I've been going in a couple hours every day to work on stuff and have 0 desire to run in the afternoons yet... I know it's just an adjustment and i'll have to tough it out and then it will get better... last year (school year) I ran after school and loved it. So I'll have to try that next week. Run from the building instead of come home sit around a little bit then run.
Hydration and fueling are my arch nemesis I think. I'm still learning - it's tough.
I was dry heaving and shivering when it was over. I could hardly drive home and when I got home I was wrapped in a down comforter trying to get warm for an hour.
Can I run behind you and stare at your butt?
Oh this is normal. This happens to me on all of my long runs.
I'm usually cold the entire day.
Normal, right?
Oh no. Another Casa.
Not sure. I've only experienced it on my longer runs or the ones where I've made ran harder/faster than normal. Like Wednesday after the 10-miler. I was uncomfortably cold afterwards. I had to go in the hot tub and warm up first before I could swim.
Candice - I have to take a hot shower after all my long runs. To get warm - not wash the stink off. I'm normally pretty cold for a while afterwards if I don't.
I actually get cold a lot. Someone told me its because of low body fat.
I am the same way. The last time my bf was measured in June it was 7.2% at 176 lbs. And I get cold very easily. But oddly enough I sweat at night a lot.
I freeze at night.
My body fat is 11% right now. It was 8 when I was training for my last marathon. I suspect it will drop again for Monkey training.

The overall goal of this proposal is to assess modulation of immune mechanisms in endometriosis. Endometriosis is a common ailment affecting approximately five million reproductive-aged American women. We will test the efficacy of a novel immunomodulatory drug (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma, PPAR-gamma, agonist), rosiglitazone, to reduce peritoneal fluid cytokine concentrations in women with endometriosis compared with placebo controls (randomized controlled trial). Based on prior studies done by the investigator highlighting the major role of cytokines and the immune system in the genesis or propagation of endometriosis, these experiments could lead to improved translational treatment strategies and a better understanding of endometriosis. Acting through PPAR-gamma, TZDs inhibit proinflammatory cytokines as well as NF-kB, an important nuclear transcription factor for the production of many cytokines. Accordingly, since human endometrial epithelial and stromal cells contain PPAR-gamma, we felt it would be useful to evaluate the influence of a PPAR-gamma ligand, rosiglitazone, on the concentration of specific peritoneal fluid cytokines.
Comparison: After the pre-trial screening, eligible subjects with presumed endometriosis and age 18-45 will be consented and randomly assigned to receive either placebo (control) or rosiglitazone, Avandia®, 4 mg daily for 2 weeks. Peritoneal fluid will be collected at the time of surgery and the volume measured. All patients enrolled in the study will have their surgery during the follicular phase of the cycle in order to minimize differences in volume and cytokine concentration due to the cyclical changes. The primary measure will be the peritoneal fluid concentration comparisons of the two groups assessing six different cytokines: interleukin-1 beta, RANTES, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and vascular endothelial growth factor.

WWU 18th on EPA list of green energy purchasers
Western Washington University is 18th on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's list of the nation's top 20 green energy purchasers in higher education.
Western annually offsets 100 percent of its electrical consumption from green sources via purchases of renewable energy credits.
Western was the only college or university in the state of Washington on the recently released EPA list.
The genesis for Western's renewable energy program began more than eight years ago when a small group of Western students set a goal of having Western offset all of its electrical energy from a 100-percent renewable source. To meet that goal they proposed a student initiative to implement a fee that would offset the cost of purchasing renewable energy.
As a result of their efforts and significant research into renewable energy, Western moved to the forefront of the renewable energy field, becoming the first university in the country to implement a student fee for the purchase of green energy. The student initiative passed in a spring 2004 election with 84.7 percent approval. The WWU Board of Trustees approved the student fee, which went into effect in 2005 and which allows the university to offset all of its electricity use with purchases from renewable energy sources.
In spring 2010, the WWU student body voted overwhelmingly – more than 80 percent in favor – to renew the Green Energy Fee. In addition to funding the purchase of the renewable energy credits from the Endeavor Wind Farm in Iowa, the new fee on students also finances projects devoted to piloting measures in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and greenhouse-gas and solid waste reduction on WWU's campus, as well as allowing for the creation of permanent and student staff who will be tasked with working with student and faculty for development of projects.
Current projects include a 5kw solar array, high-efficiency hand-dryers, LED conversion for parking lot lights, water-bottle refilling stations, and hand towel composting. Current projects under review include solar water heating for the Wade King Student Recreation Center, building energy use dashboards, sustainability kiosks, and a pilot sustainable residence hall room. All projects will be assessed for application on a larger scale.
The Green Power Partnership is a voluntary EPA program that seeks to increase the use of green power among leading U.S. organizations. Green power is defined by the partnership as electricity products that are partially or entirely generated from environmentally preferable resources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, and low-impact biomass and hydro resources. For more information see EPA's website on the Top 20 College and University Partners list.

ONE in five of the 2,700 newly diagnosed cancer patients in Worcestershire - an estimated 500 patients each year - lack support from family and friends during their treatment and recovery, according to new research by Macmillan Cancer Support.
Of these, an estimated 200 people each year will receive no help whatsoever, facing cancer completely alone.
The Facing the Fight Alone report – which looks at the number, profile and experiences of isolated people living with cancer across the UK, found that the detrimental effects of isolation on the lives of people living with cancer are far-reaching.
More than half of isolated patients have skipped meals or not eaten properly due to a lack of support at home. More than one in four have not been able to wash themselves properly, while three in five have been unable to do household chores.
Isolation also makes it harder for cancer patients to self-manage their medical care. Over one in 10 have missed appointments to hospital or their GP, while one in six have been unable to pick up prescriptions for their medication.
David Crosby, general manager of Macmillan Cancer Support in Central and South West England said: "This research shows that isolation can have a truly shattering impact on people living with cancer. Patients are going hungry, missing medical appointments and even deciding to reject treatment altogether which could be putting their lives at risk — all because of a lack of support.
"But these figures are just the tip of the iceberg. As the number of people living with cancer is set to double from two to four million by 2030, isolation will become an increasing problem and we need to address this now.
"That's why we are launching a new campaign to help tackle this crisis and to ensure that in future, no-one faces cancer alone."
Macmillan Cancer Support is calling on health professionals to adopt the recommendations in the Facing the Fight Alone report.

Did you know?
Sanbona is just three hours by road from Cape Town in the heart of the Little Karoo on Route 62 − the world's longest wine route.
If you think of deserts, the vast sandscapes of the Sahara or the Namib, the world's oldest desert, might well come to mind. But did you know that South Africa is home to several deserts, including the legendary Kalahari?
There's another lesser-known desert, called the Karoo, and in the heart of the so-called Little Karoo (a semi-arid region inland from the Cape coast) you can discover a wonderland of awesome and breathtaking beauty – where towering mountains, layers and layers of golden sandstone, rocky ridges and jutting cliffs stand sentinel over stony plains, scrub, stunted trees and windblown bushes, and where, every spring, blankets of dazzlingly coloured wildflowers burst into life and stretch to distant horizons.
Go into the heart of the Little Karoo, which lies about three hours from Cape Town, and discover the conservation-conscious Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, one of South Africa's largest privately owned wildlife reserves, at the foot of the soaring Warmwaterberg mountains.
The distances seem immense – the reserve comprises 54 000ha of wilderness – and as far as the eye can see, there are jagged mountains, fantastical rock formations, plains large and small that are home to indigenous flora and fauna, as well as some rare San rock art dating back 3 500 years.
Yes, this is a game reserve, and yes, it does have the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo), but come here not just for the game and over 650 species of plants and 200 bird species, but also for the unique beauty of an awesome landscape.
The vastness of the reserve almost defies imagination, and yet amid this immensity you can find lions hunting (including fabled white lions), rhinos dozing in the sun, hippos cavorting in the massive natural dam, and plains game – zebra, giraffe, eland, kudu, gemsbok (oryx), springbok and wildebeest – and the rare and highly endangered riverine rabbit dotted about the reserve.
There really is no other place quite like Sanbona.

Fosters and Adoptions - We do not have a public facility. We have some fosters that volunteer their services. Many foster parents are people who have taken in strays and need help getting them sterilized and re-homed.
Care of foster pets – We provide sterilization to all that are old enough based on our veterinarian's statndards.. Rabies vaccinations to all old enough. Medical care for illness or injury. We provide advertisement for adoption in petfinder and all participating organizations. *Food can be provided to fosters' who are in need but not on a consecutive basis. Fosters are expected to be able to feed foster pets 80 % of the time. Flea medication is not consecutive but has been supplied when available through donations.
Adoption Process – We do screening & background checks for potential adopters, allow the ability of pet to 'pick' their new parents, and the right of foster parent to refuse adoption if necessary. Adoption Contract is also signed and a donation of $100-150 is requested from adopters unless otherwise specified.
Urgent Medical Care-We provide needs based urgent medical care for strays found by individuals. This may include antibiotic, pain management, worming, other needed medications, x-rays, medical appliances, surgery, even euthanasia if no other choice is available for good quality of life. Some medical tests that are indicated due to symptoms may be used as well.
*Note* If individual adopts this pet, any other medical care such as vaccinations or other services are not covered by BAV, except for cat sterilization if there is a financial need in order for them to give the pet a home & stop overpopulation.
Feline Sterilization in Fannin County – Sterilization for cats & kittens are provided at a low amount to needy caretakers of the stray overpopulation, owners that have fallen on hard times, shelter cats & kittens if needed. (Caretaker is defined as an individual who does not turn away a hungry animal, feeds them, & tries to take care for any of their other needs.)
Canine Sterilization - We are limited in the ability and amount for a large number of dogs, especially due to higher cost of surgery. We provide application assistance for owners to Oklahoma Spay Network and TCAP. If the owner cannot pay the amount, we make every effort to help them pay for it. All of this is contingent on fund availability.
Referral & Networking - We refer people to for medium-large dog sterilization needs. We try to help pay for voucher price if we can get donations directly for each individual need. Other referrals for more services may be to Texoma SPCA, Our Voices Matter, FAST-Fannnin Animal Services Team for lost & found pets, Ladonia Shelter, other local rescue organizations, and rescues outside of Fannin County for placement of pets, etc. We network to all rescues nearby and outside Fannin County through facebook, direct email, and phone for needy pets. We also make every effort to get Bonham Pound animals a Voice and to promote rescue, adoption, and foster for them.
Transportation – We provide transport for needy pets to sterilization appointments and to fellow rescues that take in Fannin County strays, owner surrenders, shelter pets. *The farthest we have transported has been 2 ½ hours from Fannin County.
Other Rescue Efforts- We have unusual circumstances in which a pet has been abandoned but we cannot take in immediately. We care for these animals on site, try to get rescues to take them in, and transport to rescues willing to take them. We can also keep overnight for some cats inside my home in separate room, for dogs in a 10x6 kennel w/temporary dog house before being transported to rescue that has already been set up. Cat trapping is done with either owner/caretaker help with alternative less stressful appliances or with large cat traps. **We do not like to use regular cat traps due to the stress the feline undergoes & the propensity for it to hurt itself attempting to free themselves. It is a last resort. We do not have dog traps available, so are only able to use persuasion, food, & patience.
Donations - We receive donations from the public. 99 % of these monetary donations go directly to our account at our rescue's veterinarian in Trenton, TX, Gray's Vet Services. We do not receive $5,000 + in donations per year, therefore we have not applied for a 501 © License which cost money that should go to animal rescue care, not the government. We request donations on facebook for particular needy animals. Those donations are used for that particular animal's urgent need, sterilization, and Rabies vaccination, but any remainder of those donations goes to the next animal in need.
Considerations – Demands for special treatment and complaints that we did not fully accomplish someone's expectations are not tolerated. Nor are complaints or disrespectful behavior towards the only veterinarian that is willing to help us help the animals. Our veterinarian uses all of her skills to help animals, but she is not God. We are also, ordinary, pay check to pay check people, who have other responsibilities outside the rescue business, therefore our time is not on an hourly and daily basis. I provide my own home number to needy pet caretakers and public to further wide spread pet retention, decrease in overpopulation, and reduce the huge numbers of deaths of euthanasia in the kill shelter in the area.
Most of our rescue animals, especially cats/kittens, are already sick with a common illness, and/or debilitated with worms, starvation, injury and they must be healthy in order to receive vaccinations. We are a small rescue with very limited funds and cannot always get animals that are fostered fully vetted before adopted. We rely of fosters to help financially if possible, and any vaccinations that have not been done previous to an adoption are expected to be completed by the adopter. We cannot fully vet each animal completely one vet trip. It often takes several before we are able to afford all the necessary vaccinations. Dogs are given top priority with Rabies vaccinations. Pups need Parvovirus vaccinations ASAP due to the virulent and deadly nature of the disease. Cats/kittens need the full 7 n 1 shot to protect them from extremely aggressive and virulent illnesses such as Panleukopenia.
Once an adoption application is processed, we make an appt for a home visit with the pet of your choice to see if both parties are right for each other.
If you don't recieve and email from us within 48 hours, please check your spam folder or call us at 903-449-4174. Thank you.
Our adoption process starts with a questionaire and a review of our adoption criteria. The most important thing to us is placing a pet in the right home, not just any home. Our adoption fees are based on pet, specials, and medical costs and the adoption donation renews costs of fostering animals so we can continue helping other animals to be fostered and medically cared for. A legal promissory agreement contract is signed by adopters and fosters.
Thank You!

How do you build effective, innovative, and sustainable organizations? Our friend Nigel Savage, Executive Director of Hazon, outlines what he's learned in the Jewish food justice organization's first thirteen years. It may seem obvious, but he says the key to success is WHAT we do and HOW we do it.
I founded Hazon as someone who was – and still is – fundamentally an idealist. The word hazon means "vision," and I continue to believe that vision counts for a great deal in changing the world for good. But as each year has gone by I have become steadily more interested in a wide range of organizational issues: a series of internal cultural attributes that have gradually become true of Hazon and that I believe account for some of our success, such as it is, these last thirteen years. As we continue to plan for the future sustainability of the organization, I have outlined a few factors that have helped Hazon advance organizationally.
His tips for other idealists hoping to maximize organizational impact:
- Connect a large vision with incremental steps
- Leverage key partnerships and relationships
- Focus on systems
- Deeply commit to iterative excellence
- Engage in learning, of all sorts
What do you think? Do you know of other organizations that have developed best practices to connect their vision and internal operations?

Shaw Floors recommends this product in the following areas: Product Specifications Flooring Type Tile & Stone Style CS38K TITAN 12X12 Color 00200 NATURAL Collection TITAN Product Type Glazed Ceramic Glaze Hardness Product Specifications Glaze Hardness Glaze Hardness The relative hardness of glazed tile is an important issue that should be addressed when selecting a tile. The test is performed by scratching the surface of the tile with different minerals and subjectively assigning a Method of Hardness "MOH's" number to the glaze. The softest mineral used is talc (a #1 rating if no scratch), the hardest is a diamond (a #10 rating if no scratch). Other minerals of varying hardness that provide MOH's values of five or greater are suitable for most residential floor applications while a value of seven or greater is normally recommended for commercial applications. Both abrasion resistance and glaze hardness should be addressed when considering using glazed tiles as floor products.

"These invitation definitely exceeded my expectations! I love WeddingPaperDivas new thermography collection; great quality! The staff and designers went out of their way to personalize my wedding invitations and made sure that what I envisioned is exactly what I received! I was able to customize wording/fonts/colors and formatting."
"I had originally planned on going with a custom design from a stationer. However, I loved the design on the Draped Elgance invitation and decided to utilize Wedding Paper Divas instead. This invitation (response card and thank yous in addition) far exceeded my expectations. I ordered in the gold font and the thermography printing style gives it a beautiful sheen in natural light. Additionally, I was more than happy with the quality of the standard paper option."

A workshop investigating the problems people face paying funeral bills wants to establish more support for the bereaved.
A Wiltshire Citizens Advice social policy report found that the average cost of a funeral is £3,284 with the overall cost being £7,114.
This second figure includes extras, known as disbursements, such as transport, florist, printing and legal costs which many don't anticipate.
Last Friday, representatives from the Citizens Advice Bureau, Wiltshire Council and funeral providers met, at St John's Parish Centre, to discuss ways of cutting costs and making the public aware of everything that needs to be paid for when someone dies.
Author of the report, Alison Dewar, a social policy volunteer, said: "Many of the people I spoke with had no idea how much a funeral actually costs, we need the help from MPs, GPs, care agencies and other organisations to make people aware of the debt they face.
"Many people are simply overwhelmed when organising a funeral, as it is of course a very difficult time and many don't know what is involved."
The report recommended a clear four step code be introduced with the main points suggested that cost awareness should be raised, funeral directors should clearly clarify charges, support should be given to those struggling to pay for services and that the public support funding process should be quickened.
Currently, those who struggle to pay for funerals can apply to the government's social fund funeral payment scheme but that only entitles applicants to up to £1,200 and the report also raises concerns about the success rate and eligibility.
Shelia Dicks, of Will Case & Partners and the Salisbury College of Funeral Sciences, said: "This is a splendid report and you know it something that the Citizens Advice Bureau will run with.
"There are a lot of costs out there but one thing I always say to my clients is that you don't have to spend large amounts of money to show you love someone, its the quality and personal touches that count, and a good funeral can be done quite cheaply."
Wiltshire Citizens Advice plan to work with the University of Bath to research the issue further and plan to set up a working group to take the report's recommendations forward.

Serves 6
1/2 cup mustard seed
6 tablespoons coriander seeds
1/4 cup whole allspice seeds

16 bay leaves
8 quarts water
1 dozen small new potatoes, scrubbed
2 large onions, unpeeled, cut in half crosswise

Blooming, Bouncing, BeginningRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I'm a blooming, bouncing beginning
A name not bound to only one meaning
Somewhere I fall prey to time and gravity
The other alternating the ups and downs for eternity
The last needs no ladder to rise above its original captivity
To poets a life cycle is brought
To pilots a lifeline/lifesaver they resort
To needy throats surely a life-support
Rumpelstiltskin I am not
But a bouquet for you who got me sort
AnswerThe word 'spring'.
As the flowering season: the buds bloom and die out/fall to the ground, and usually metaphorically means a start of something.
As the elastic body/device: theoretically it could stay in motion forever, and is used in pilot seats to eject them to safety in emergency situation.
As the water source: rose to surface through capillary effects, thirst-quenching for people in the desert.
What Next?
