text: Live Life Fully: Could you be addicted to stress? By Linda Arnold June 30, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Let's face it. Some people just can't relax. It's actually stressful for them.How can this be? After all, most dreams described by lottery winner wannabes usually include a chaise longue on a secluded beach with turquoise water and a sailboat in the background.For a number of folks, though, this would be torture. They have to keep moving, achieving and accomplishing. They can't sit still. And they often feel like they're being propelled through space without enough time to do what they really want.While it's true there are many demands on us these days, this type of behavior can often occur when we're trying to avoid dealing with other issues in our lives. We tell ourselves -- and the world -- we're just so busy! And that's quite a noble excuse. If left unchecked, though, a cycle of negativity can set in with complaints about not having enough time to get everything done.You know the feeling. You should be grateful for what you have in life and focus on the positive things. Yet, those negative thoughts have such a sneaky way of creeping in.That's OK -- to a point. It's good to acknowledge our anxieties and feel our feelings. It's just when we allow those negative thoughts to mushroom -- and take over our consciousness -- that we can get into trouble.Then we start focusing on what we don't want to happen. And those repetitive negative thoughts, coupled with extreme emotional charges, act like a magnet to draw those things toward us, according to the universal Law of Attraction. Like attracts like. With negative thoughts, the more worried and fearful we become, the more worries and fears we attract. On a physiological level, stress causes the section of our brain known as the hypothalamus to secrete cortisol, the "stress hormone."For a lot of folks, the experience of cortisol in our system becomes so normal that not feeling stressed results in our emotional discomfort. Yikes -- it's like we're addicted! Maybe not in the clinical sense, but it sure can feel like it.Negativity has actually been likened to an addiction: It causes a physiological response; it can feel compulsory at times; and it can be very difficult to shake, explains author and life coach Anisa Aven.Here's a startling concept. When some folks don't feel stressed, they begin to fear they're "not prepared" or not "doing enough" or that they could be setting themselves up for disappointment. These examples represent only a few of the many reasons people become addicted to stress (and, thus, the stress hormone, cortisol). Aven relates the example of war veterans coming home and having problems readjusting. Unfortunately, this scenario is happening way too often in today's world. When veterans come home -- long after they've left the traumatic battlefield -- they often continue to experience the stress of being on edge and not being able to let their guard down.When they reflect on what keeps them up at night, it's often a fear that if they're not hypervigilant about all the things that could go wrong, then their families won't be protected. They believe if they're not prepared for negative scenarios and something bad happens, it's because they weren't aware and responsive to the signs of danger.And, yet, that level of being "uptight" could actually backfire and contribute to negative things happening. You've probably heard about athletes accomplishing great feats when they're "in the zone." It's during these times of being fully present and "in the flow" that we can have the greatest access to our highest level of performance.We've all heard about the adrenaline rush. Being on "high alert" for too long, though, can really take its toll on our bodies. Too much cortisol pounding through our system over time can lead to adrenal exhaustion. Once we've reached adrenal exhaustion and feel wiped out, according to Aven, it can be very difficult to maintain a positive thought. This then results in a cycle of negative thoughts and further adrenal exhaustion -- a never-ending loop of more reasons to be negative. And to stay on that emotional treadmill.Consider the following quote from a self-admitted "stressaholic": "I feel the physical response and even find myself confused when I try not to be stressed. It's like my body doesn't know how to behave if I actually choose to trust and flow with life. It feels like I'm going through withdrawals. My stomach turns and I feel anxious -- like I need a quick anger or fear fix to get myself back to normal."Wow. That speaks volumes. It's been said that the root of all man's problems stems from the inability to sit quietly in a room with his thoughts. Easier said than done, though.The first step is acknowledging the behavior. Then there are lots of options for dealing with it. One size doesn't fit all. It really depends on the individual situation and the person involved. Some people find relief from quieting down out in nature or working off their stress through exercise. Others find meditation helpful. Counseling can be effective, as can techniques such as Emotional Freedom Technique and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. And, in extreme cases, the adrenal exhaustion can be treated medically.The important thing is to find what works best for the situation at hand -- and to stick with a plan. Your habitual stress took years to form. And it won't go away in a couple of weeks.Who knew a substance produced by our own bodies -- cortisol -- could become addictive? You can definitely break the cycle, though, and loosen the grip stress has on you.

Muskingum College Center for Advancement of Learning and P.L.U.S. Organization sponsors Re-envisioning Learning Disabilities, by noted authority Jack M. Fletcher on Friday, April 16
APRIL 6, 2004 - The Muskingum College Center for Advancement of Learning the P.L.U.S. Organization will sponsor Re-envisioning Learning Disabilities, a presentation by noted authority Jack M. Fletcher, Ph.D., on Friday, April 16 at 10:00 a.m. in room 343 of Boyd Science Center on the campus. There is no admission charge for this event.
Seating is limited, so those wishing to attend this presentation should RSVP no later than April 14 by calling Michelle Butler at 740-826-8280 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The program on the 16th will begin at 9:30 a.m. with registration and pre-program refreshments in the lobby of Boyd Science Center. Fletcher will speak from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and a question and answer period will follow. The day's events will conclude by 12:00 p.m.
Fletcher is a professor in the department of pediatrics at the University of Texas-Houston Health Center, and associate director of the Center for Academic and Reading Skills.
A child neuropsychologist, Fletcher has, over 25 years, completed research on many aspects of the development of reading, language and other cognitive skills in children. He has worked extensively on issues related to language and attention problems, including definition and classification, neurobiological correlates and, most recently, intervention.
Fletcher is principal investigator of a multidisciplinary grant funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the U.S. Department of Education, and the National Science Foundation, under the Interagency Educational Research Initiative. He also is part of a large consortium of investigators from the University of Houston, University of Texas-Houston, University of Texas-Austin and California State University-Long Beach, in addition to the President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education.
In 2003, Fletcher received the Samuel T. Orton award from the International Dyslexia Association.
The Muskingum College Center for Advancement of Learning P.L.U.S. Program's learning strategy model is designed to empower, rather than rescue students.
The program's learning consultants challenge students to develop skills both academically and socially, leading to self-direction, confidence and independence.

Voting for Wiltshire's youth parliament elections starts on Monday.
For the last two years Wiltshire has had the highest turnout of any youth election process in England with 70 percent of 11 to 19-year-olds voting.
Organisers are hoping this year will also attract a good turnout as young people are elected to be involved in the Wiltshire Assembly of Youth (WAY) and the UK Youth Parliament.
Election week runs from Monday to noon on Sunday, February 10, with voting free by text message – free text number is 80800.
This year, 11 candidates are standing. For the North, Chloe Lintern of Corsham, Hannah Kamphaug and Kieran Mulvaney, both of Chippenham, and Bill Crookes from Malmesbury, for the West, Caitlin Thacker of Trowbridge, James Davies from Bradford on Avon and Jordan Green of Melksham, and for the East, Charles McGrath, Aodhan Burnell and Josh Constable, all from Salisbury, and Sam Gallacher of Amesbury.
WAY was set up by Wiltshire Council's predecessor Wiltshire County Council, with members sitting on a number of strategic boards for Wiltshire Council, ensuring children and young people's views and best interests are heard. They have influence on decisions affecting children, safeguarding and services delivered to young people.
Recent achievements by WAY have included hosting a Young People's Mental Health Conference which resulted in the creation of a Young People's Mental Health Charter which all schools and mental health service providers are being asked to sign up to this year.
Wiltshire also has six representatives sitting on the UK Youth Parliament, who meet with their south west peers every six to eight weeks to discuss local issues and trends across the region.
Ellie Vesey-Thompson, 18, from Marlborough is the current UKYP East representative. She said: "I think this is something very relevant for young people everywhere right now. With the job market becoming increasingly competitive, now more than ever we must ensure that all young people are receiving an education that will be relevant to them in life."
Lionel Grundy, cabinet member for children's services said: "Having these people keep us aware of what issues are affecting young people is key to our decision making. It's excellent that we have had such a good turnout in voting for these candidates and we hope this will be the case for this election as well."
Information on all the candidate's manifestos is available to view at www.sparksite.co.uk.

The editor says that they don't link out, because they don't and forgot why they don't (though they do have inactive links to sources).
My position is that active links
- are simply easier to use
- correspond with the free sharing spirit of the Web
- are a sign of respect towards sources, newsmakers, companies, etc.
Another point concerns linking to their own material, but it's another topic.
The main questions are: should a reputable, editorial news site/newspaper:
- always place active links to sources
- link to companies, people, bloggers
- other [news] articles on the topic, which shed more or different light on the topic
- news/articles that pose an opposing point of view?
While it'd be interestng to learn different hues opinion on the matter (though I suspect, I know EGOL's already ), I'd really appreciate you mentioning news or newspaper sites that do link out actively and which, maybe, have published guidelines on linking out. I only know SEL/Daggle.com, but maybe you do know a few more? Sites with news, not standalone bloggers (Danny is an exception, because he's a chief editor/journalist ).
I ask, because I've been given an example of a Spiegel article, which only links to two of its own articles, and I can't argue that Spiegel isn't a trusted publication
Thank you.

A FREE festival in Milford Haven this weekend is offering two days of dance for professionals, enthusiasts and those who want to get their bodies moving for the first time.
Arts Care Gofal Celf (ACGC) is holding its fifth annual dance festival, D14, at the port of Milford Haven on June 14 and 15.
The festival's first day will feature a sponsored danceathon, which aims to raise £4,000 for ACGC's Touch Trust outreach project. This provides a unique creative movement project to children and young people living with physical or learning disabilities, those with autistic spectrum disorder and those living with multiple and profoundly complex needs.
Participants will be able to join in four very different one hour workshops, all lead by professionals, with the aim of dancing for as long as possible. It costs £5 to join in and sponsor forms are available from ACGC's dance development manager Laura Jenkins.
The Sunday features seven hours of free workshops and performances in a myriad of styles from belly dance to musical theatre.
The festival's main stage will host performances by choreographers, dance companies, groups, troops, colleges, community companies and soloists.
Lucy James, Marketing Manager at the Port of Milford Haven, said the Port was "delighted to be supporting the D14 festival".
"After a consultation with the organisers, Arts Care Gofal Celf, we realised that after four years of successful one-day events taking place in conjunction with Pembrokeshire Fish Week and great support from Pembrokeshire County Council, that the programme could support a two-day celebration.
"The enthusiasm of ACGC has been infectious and we're excited to be supporting them to make this two-day event a great success."

Great installation (#290 above)!
Even in the dead of winter, we're generating more power than anticipated. So far we've hit 6 kW rate... might need to put a #11 on the dial once the summer comes, as we're exceding expectations.
- Steve and Rosanna, Fri, 3 Feb 2012 1:01PM
Interested to know whether I should think about installing one
- Yajun Zhang, Fri, 25 Mar 2011 3:30PM
My DHW system (#80) is operating flawlessly, saving me at least 200 gal of heating oil year. Thanks Cotuit Solar!
- Louis de Geofroy, Fri, 30 Apr 2010 5:54AM
Conrad and crew.
The 80 sq ft solar DHW you installed in late August '08 works like a champ. So far (now Dec. 4) close to 90% of hot water has come from the sun.
Great job!

A Worrisome Crack in Support
The sharp drop in the markets on Wednesday is meaningful and disturbing. Just two days ago, I was saying we could see a rally to the upper part of the consolidation but then a return to and test of the support around 1395. Since then, we have seen both, plus we have seen a failure of the support.
That is a very worrisome development, in that the 1395 level in the S&P 500 has been evident ever since August, when it was the bottom of a consolidation not unlike what we have seen in the last two weeks. I suggested that recent trading could have been the right shoulder of a large head-and-shoulders formation. Therefore, the break of that key level is a break of the neckline, and it points to a likely further slide, to perhaps as low as 1330....226 more words left in this article.

The Cleveland Orchestra Performs Musical Soundtrack for Charlie Chaplin's 'Modern Times' 12/11
The Cleveland Orchestra performs the musical soundtrack for a showing of the 1936 classic film, Modern Times. In the final appearance of Chaplin's iconic Little Tramp (the character that brought him world fame), the incomparable actor-director created a comedy about man's struggle to survive in the industrialized world during the Great Depression. William Eddins conducts the Orchestra. Performing with the Orchestra in the roles of singing waiters will be Brent Chamberlin, Jason Levy, Rohan Mandelia, and Matthew Rizer.
Charlie Chaplin not only wrote, directed, and starred in Modern Times; he also produced the film and created much of the music for it (although the tunes he came up with were arranged and orchestrated by others). Although almost entirely a silent film (with synchronized sound effects), Modern Times is the first film in which Chaplin's voice is heard, singing Léo Daniderff's comical song "Je cherche après Titine" ("I'm looking for Titine"). In Modern Times, the song is also known as "The Nonsense Song" because Chaplin's character has to make up the words as he sings, having just lost the song lyrics that he had jotted on his shirt cuff.

David Reutimann will replace Landon Cassill while Travis Kvapil will return to the two-car BK Racing stable in 2013.
The organization, which bought most of the equipment from the now-defunct Red Bull Racing prior to last season, plans to continue with two Cup cars this year.
Reutimann, who drove two races for the team last year among his 25 overall Cup starts, will replace Cassill, who finished 31st in the standings last year and said last week that he could not come to an agreement with the team for 2013.
Pat Tryson, who was at Front Row Motorsports for much of last season, will be the crew chief for Reutimann. Tryson replaced Doug Richert, who will oversee both crew chiefs.
Kvapil, 27th in the standings last year despite not having a ride for the Daytona 500, will continue to have Todd Anderson as crew chief.
The team also announced the hiring of former Denny Hamlin crew chief Mike Ford as its competition director and former Eric McClure crew chief Rick Carpenter as its assistant general manager.

The nine members of Slipknot were able to keep their faces well-hidden for many years, but with the rise in popularity of the band Stone Sour, which features vocalist Corey Taylor and guitarist Jim Root, along with the unmasked interviews within the 2006 'Voliminal: Inside the Nine' DVD, Slipknot's identities were eventually revealed.
Although Slipknot members such as Craig Jones and Chris Fehn still fly below the radar while unmasked, such individuals as Corey Taylor, Shawn Crahan and others have become instantly recognizable by fans. Below are pictures of every Slipknot member unmasked, including the band's late bassist Paul Gray. Behold, the true faces of Slipknot:

Summer break is over, which means only one thing—school is back in session! But before your kids sharpen their pencils and crack open their books, you'll want to make sure everything is in order before the first bell rings. Check out these cool ideas to help your favorite students get organized as they prepare to go back to school.
A is for Assignments
Do your kids have a designated place to organize their assignments and classroom handouts at home? You don't want them keeping their papers in their backpack, where lessons can get crumpled and ripped. Plus, they may need to refer to those notes later in the school year.
Help your children organize their work throughout the school year by creating a simple filing system. Customize file folders with Avery File Folder Labels so they can organize their schoolwork by class, subject, or specific project, and place these folders on a file folder rack or holder. Your little scholars can reference their paperwork as needed to prepare for big tests and write those reports.
Backpack Design for File Folder Labels
Pencil Design for File Folder Labels
School Bus Design for File Folder Labels
B is for Belongings
The students in your kids' classes may have similar binders, lunch boxes, and other supplies that can get lost in the hustle and bustle of a busy school day. How can they tell whose is whose?
Make it easy for your kids to identify what's theirs and avoid any mix-up by marking their personal property. Just personalize these hard-to-miss label designs, print on Avery Round Labels and Avery Address Labels, and attach to their belongings.
Backpack Design - Round Labels | Address Labels
Pencil Design - Round Labels | Address Labels
School Bus Design - Round Labels | Address Labels
C is for Clothing
When your son or daughter brings a jacket to school on a chilly day or if they use a cloth lunch bag, there's always a chance these items can get misplaced or find their way into Lost & Found.
Personalized articles of clothing and lunch bags can help finders identify the rightful owner. Just add your child's name to these design templates, print the transfer onto Avery Fabric Transfers, and iron them inside their clothing or cloth lunch bag for easy identification.
Backpack Design for Fabric Transfers
Pencil Design for Fabric Transfers
School Bus Design for Fabric Transfers
As you gear up the family to get ready for school, make it a plan to spend some quality time with your favorite back-to-schoolers to create these easy-to-use, customizable projects together. With items like these to help your children get organized, getting a fresh start to the new school year will be as easy as A-B-C!

Stadium and other Baylor projects moving right along
While the Baylor campus has been quiet over Christmas break, construction projects have been moving ahead at full steam.
The video above gives a good look at 15 months worth of work on Baylor's newly renamed McLane Stadium. (Check out the live construction camera here.) With eight months to go until the first kickoff, brick and glass are going up at an astonishing pace.
Later this year, work will begin on the recently announced Beauchamp Athletics Nutrition Center, which will go up between the Simpson Athletics and Academic Center and the Baylor Marina on University Parks Drive. The new dining facility will complement Baylor Athletics' existing nutrition assessment and education programs with a dedicated athletics nutrition center.
Across campus, initial work is underway at the site of the future Paul L. Foster Campus for Business and Innovation. Expected to be ready for fall 2015, the new home for the Hankamer School of Business will go up at the intersection of 3rd Street and Bagby Avenue, across from the East Village Residential Community.
Sic 'em, Baylor construction projects!

How to Ignore People
This article is marked as a stub. You can help wikiHow by improving it.
Follow these steps if you want to ignore someone. Ignoring people can be both good and bad--it depends on the person you want to ignore. Ignoring people that wish to assist you is only harming yourself.
Think of a person you want to ignore. Focus your thoughts on all the reasons you don't want him or her as part of your life. Ignoring someone can be difficult and is the last step you should take, so your reasons must be firm.
Refrain from all communication with the person. Don't return calls, emails, text messages or letters.
Try to ignore him or her by not saying hello to him or her when you cross paths.
Manage your schedule so you don't come into contact with that person.
Change your phone number, email, and IM address, if necesary.
Enjoy the peace of knowing that person is not actively a part of your life.
Don't pay attention to the bitter remarks that the person makes.
Keep yourself busy with your own activities, maybe try to develop a new hobby just to get away from the person.
Never make eye contact with the person.
If you ever come across this person in a shop or store, pretend you don't see them; use tunnel vision. Change your walking speed, stop, and turn irrationally. If they say something to you, tell them that you are in a rush and you really must go. If all else fails, just keep quiet.
If you decide to really ignore someone for a prolonged period, you must expect that he/she will never talk to you again and be okay with that.
Ignoring someone can cause feelings of deep animosity. Be aware that the person you're ignoring might potentially physically assault or try to harm you in response to your treatment, but most of the time if you will ignore someone it will be over. Walk away from them, do not ignore then and then try to confront them or even try to confront them at all let them come to you when they are ready again.
At some point, you might want to communicate with the person that you have decided to ignore and settle the argument. Remember this may not always be possible or reasonable and you don't have to. If it is a person that you have to work with or associate with then at some point you may have to, so be nice.
Don't fall for the other persons sweet talk. Stay strong and be confident.

Things to ignore when debugging an ASP.NET Hang - Update for .NET 2.0
I often get questions like "what is this thread doing?". A lot of the time it is about threads that are essential to the process but completely unrelated to the problem at hand.
A while back, in the beginnings of this blog, I wrote a post about what threads you can ignore so you can focus on what is important, and according to the blog stats, it turned out to be one of the most popular posts. Since then a lot of people have wanted to see an update for 2.0.
Rather than repeating the whole post I'll just show the ones that have a new look and feel... and if you are interested in finding out a bit more about what they are, check out the old post

SKI Magazine ranks Summit County resorts high
October 20, 2012
SKI Magazine's annual reader poll results of the top 30 ski areas in North America placed three Summit County resorts among the rankings.
Breckenridge Ski Resort, Copper Mountain and Keystone Resort were all voted in the top 30 with Breckenridge, topping the Summit County ranking at 14th place.
The winner of the ranking was Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia, with last year's winner, Deer Valley in Park City, Utah, ranking second.
Breckenridge dropped five spots and out of the top 10, from ninth to 14th place in this year's poll, with SKI pointing out that readers mentioned the area's crowds and cold, windy weather as the downside; while praising the area's terrain parks and nightlife.
"We are incredibly proud that Breckenridge Ski Resort continues to be one of the most popular ski resorts in the U.S. and recognized by skiers and snowboarders worldwide," said Kristen Petit-Stewert, spokeswoman for Breckenridge Ski Resort. "There are many different media outlets publishing rankings of all kinds, but our focus remains squarely on our guests and we pay careful attention to all of their feedback."
Copper dropped from 18 to 20 in the rankings, scoring high on terrain, but losing ground for an unlively apres-ski scene, according to the magazine.

Nonetheless, ski area officials say reader poll rankings point this ski season in the right direction.
"Copper Mountain has always been known for its convenient access via the Interstate 70 corridor, so it was no surprise that the resort received this recognition," said Katherine Bush, spokeswoman for Copper. "Copper's terrain park crew works hard to develop safe, unique and progressive features inside the parks, and we're pleased that SKI Magazine readers have recognized this team's efforts."
Keystone Resort was ranked 26th, praised for its variety and family friendly staff.
"Keystone is thrilled to be considered among the top resorts in North America and we're honored to be in such great company on the list," said Laura Parquette, communications manager for Keystone.
Three resorts from Summit County represented among the top 30 list continentwide shows the quality of the local mountain ranges.
"It's great to see our neighbors in the county so well represented, and we congratulate all of the listed resorts," Parquette said.
More Colorado areas were included in the top 10 than any other state or province, with Vail ranking number three, Snowmass at number eight, rated high for variety and family skiing, and Beaver Creek at number nine for grooming, overall experience and customer service.
Aspen took the number 12 spot, followed by Steamboat, Breckenridge, Crested Butte and Aspen Highlands, with Snowbird, Mammoth, Taos and Copper rounding out the top 20.

HAYWARD — Commuters were scrambling Wednesday morning after a fatality on BART tracks shut down trains south of San Leandro for more than 12 hours.
The South Hayward, Union City and Fremont stations all were closed after the incident, which occurred near the South Hayward station about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, BART spokesman Jim Allison said.
The person who died was described as male but his identity was not released. The person was not an employee and an initial investigation by police showed no signs of foul play, Allison said.
The tracks reopened about 7:50 a.m., and residual delays of 15 to 20 minutes lasted through the morning. BART police completed their investigation about 6:30 a.m., and BART's operations department then inspected the tracks, Allison said.
The shutdown drew riders to the Bay Fair station in San Leandro, where commuters had been told to catch Richmond and San Francisco-bound trains. AC Transit buses were an option, though BART was unable to provide a bus bridge.
When trains arrived shortly after 8 a.m. Wednesday at the South Hayward station, about 200 passengers spilled out, some running to their jobs.
"I hope," said Renee Washington, 50, "that my boss will understand how late I am."
Allison said AC Transit was asked but not able to provide a bus bridge.
BART officials issued an advisory at 4:15 a.m. that service was down, urging passengers to catch trains at the Bay Fair station or use alternative transportation.
AC Transit driver James Thomas, 53, said he received a phone call from his daughter while stationed outside the South Hayward station about 9 a.m. and said she told him it took 1½ hours to reach her destination after leaving from the Pittsburg-Bay Point station.

The inauguration of the complex was presided over by the Apostolic Nuncio of El Salvador, Bishop Giacinto Berloco.
On March 25th the new The Center for Integral Community
Development, CIDECO, was blessed and inaugurated in La Herradura, El
Salvador. The initiative provides new homes for 115 families who
lost everything in the two tremendous earthquakes of 2001. Each
apartment is 70 square meters and comes complete with three
bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and a small
garden. The inauguration of the complex was presided over by
the Apostolic Nuncio of El Salvador, Bishop Giacinto Berloco. Among
the participants in the ceremony were the vice president of
the republic, Carlos Quintanilla, and Father Alejandro Ortega, LC, territorial
director of the Legion of Christ in
Mexico. History of the Project In January and February of
2001, El Salvador was ravaged by two massive earthquakes that
caused the deaths of 1,259 people and destroyed more than
153,000 homes. Nearly one-sixth of the population was left homeless.
This disaster awakened a spirit of solidarity throughout the country
and the whole world. A group of Regnum Christi members offered a concrete solution to this natural
disaster by organizing an initiative entitled Solidarity Saturdays, where groups
of volunteers would collect food and other goods on Saturdays
to help those families most in need. Fundamental to the
effort was the work of the Evangelizadores de Tiempo Completo,
Catholic World Mission´s full-time lay

missionaries, who scoured the countryside
to bring the earthquake victims to relief sites and who
directed the distribution of aid. After this first initiative, many
volunteers and businessmen realized how desperate the need for a
more stable and lasting solution truly was. Striving to fulfill
that goal, in the first months of 2002, construction began
on the CIDECO in La Herradura on the outskirts of
San Salvador, the area most devastated by the quakes.Description of
´Living Stones:´ CIDECO "La Herradura"In addition to the 115 homes,
the new CIDECO includes a bilingual school, Mano Amiga San
Antonio, which covers preschool to high school. It is also
equipped with the Our Lady of Lourdes medical clinic, built
with the help of the local and international governments under
the supervision of the medical school of the Anáhuac University
of Mexico. These facilities will serve not only residents but
the entire surrounding area. Another important facet is the community
center where residents can take part in social activities. Still
on the construction list is The Integral Training Center whose
focus will be to help residents learn trades and improve
their quality of life.The residents all have found employment and
on-the-job training in the nearby industrial corridor established by the
federal government. This provides these families the first financial
stability they have ever experienced.The second part of the construction
project, which will more than double the number of homes,
will begin shortly bringing even greater hope and joy
to the citizens of El Salvador. Each home costs $7,000
to build, but through a ´matching program´ with the El
Salvador government, new homeowners will receive a low-interest mortgage for
half that amount if donors will put up the first
half of the cost. For just $3,500, you can
provide a family with a dignified home. Donations in any
amount may be made through Catholic World Mission. See
the website www.CatholicWorldMission.org and donate on-line, specifying
´Living Stones´ as the project you would like to support,
or send checks to Catholic World Mission ´Living Stones,´ 33

We've been raising cash for Action Alerts PLUS because we figure that stocks don't grow to the skies, and that's where they were headed. We bet that the Fed's outlook would be a good excuse for others to sell, and the uncertainty of Friday's employment number only gives you another excuse to ring the register.
I mean, you can only go up so much on the same news over and over -- and the news is fine, not blowout. We had a weak GDP number (that I explain away). We had earnings that are fine. We had housing that is fine. We had no growth in Europe -- and that is fine, too.
You can only go up for so far on "fine" without feeling like Larry Fine, the dumbest of the Three Stooges.
All that said, I think this market remains in "Mason Storm" mode, the Steven Seagal character in Hard to Kill that remains popular with "Mad Money" head writer Cliff Mason and me. In the movie, Storm was shot and remained in a coma for years but came out strong enough, after some training, to take on a corrupt politician and an army of thugs -- and he still managed to prevail because he had a superior attitude and a superior state of mind.
I like the imagery, if only because it is a reminder of a market that seems fictional in its run with almost every sector performing well.
Of course, if we get something "better than fine" -- meaning a couple of upside surprises from some of the remaining industrials and retailers and a decent employment number -- we could be right on track.
In the interim, after enjoying the best January most can recall, we're back in the coma stage for the moment. When the market comes to, I wouldn't be surprised if it challenges those highs that are so tantalizing right now but aren't yet ready to be taken out.

It's a rare thing to find Matthew McConaughey wearing a shirt, let alone a suit, but PEOPLE's former Sexiest Man Alive indeed suited up – in brown and orange plaid, no less – to plug his latest film, We Are Marshall. And when the film is released on Dec. 22, you might recognize McConaughey's '70s-inspired threads. Why? Well, he sported those suits in the film. Like another actor who has been caught wearing his costumes off-screen, McConaughey explains that his clothes brought things into focus for him. "The plaid suit helped me find the character," he told the press. "I loved it. Still wearing them!" Fair enough, but we think McConaughey might just have a flair for the '70s. What do you think about McConaughey's dated threads? And should actors still wear their costumes when filming wraps?

Topic: My husband's molecular testing results
Today we received the report of Foundation Medicine's molecular analysis of my husband's tumor. The analysis revealed three genetic mutations; one of these is identified in about 25% of CC tumors, one is rarely found in CC but is more common in skin tumors, and one has not prevoiusly been identified in CC patients but is sometimes found in lung tumors. The report was unable to identify any FDA-approved drugs tageting these mutations but did identify related clinical trials that may be useful. Our oncologist has consulted with a specialist at the U of Chicago and the consensus was to continue my husband's current chemo regimen (FOLFIRINOX) as long as it is effective. If it is not effective at some point, then we will move toward clinical trials.
While I had hoped that approved drugs targeting the mutations would already be available, I am still glad we received this information. Particularly when dealing with a disease as diverse as CC, I think it is helpful to know all we can about the tumor. At present only a small percentage of oncologists are ordering molecular analysis but I think it will eventually become routine. The costs are going down but this analysis is still quite expensive and is not always covered by insurance.
My husband had his second FOLFIRINOX treatment today. He will have a scan at the end of his fourth treatment so we will then know whether the chemo is working. The good news so far is that his side effects have been minimal and the oncologist is very pleased that he is tolerating it so well.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

After shaky first inning, 'angry' Blackley settles down
PHOENIX -- Not once has Travis Blackley broke camp on a big league roster. On Saturday, the A's lefty made strides to potentially make that happen.
Inconsistent for much of the spring, Blackley appeared to be in for another forgettable outing, enabling the Angels to score three times in the first inning. Then he retired six of his final eight batters without allowing another run.
The transformation, he said, stemmed from "my intensity behind the pitch."
"I started getting to that fine line of anger, not to the point where I lost it, but angry where I thought, 'C'mon, this has got to change,'" he said. "There was a little more zip maybe, and I started getting that rhythm going, and the trust came along with it, started getting ahead of hitters. And that's how I felt last year. It felt good to finally feel like that. I was very pleased the way I came back after that first inning."
Blackley struck out four overall, including Mike Trout and Albert Pujols, while battling a heavy right-handed lineup. He found he wasn't keeping them honest with his fastball in the first inning, and by doing that in his final two frames, his breaking balls were better for it. His fastball, by the way, has some added velocity this spring, after Blackley put on 8-10 pounds this winter.
"That first inning, I threw a lot of junk early and they were laying off it so I got myself in bad counts," he said. "The second and third innings, I went right at them with the two-seamer and put myself in a better position to succeed and that's what happened.
"Considering it could have been a really bad day after the first, I'm happy with how it turned out. Today was the best I've felt since last year. Normally I'd be upset about three runs in three innings, but I'm actually real happy about that."
Blackley was highly versatile for the A's as a starter and reliever last year and is out of options, seemingly making his chances of remaining on the team as a reliever strong. But manager Bob Melvin wouldn't tip his hand when asked about Blackley's roster status following his Saturday start.
And while Melvin was happy to see Blackley throw all of his pitches for strikes, he noted, "You don't want to go out there and give up three runs in the first inning, either."
Said Blackley: "As for making the team, I'm just trying to put that out of my head and compete. Worrying about it won't change anything. I just gotta show that I'm the same guy I was last year, pitch ahead in counts, pitch to contact … be economical and stay out of those big innings."

Grapes grown on a sun-drenched gentle slope in Redcrest, surrounded on one side by towering redwood trees, have produced several wines that took top honors at the 2012 Humboldt County Fair.
Rosina Vineyards was selected as the Best Humboldt County Winery; its 2007 pinot noir received double gold awards, named as the Best Wine Made with Humboldt County grapes and the Best Red Wine in the Humboldt County Fair competition. Best white wine in the competition was Fieldbrook Winery's Arrequin Vineyard's (Redwood Valley) 2011 Chardonnay.
Three other Rosina Vineyard wines captured awards; the Humboldt County pinot noir rosè received double gold awards, the 2008 pinot noir received a silver ribbon, and the 2009 pinot noir, a bronze ribbon.
Several years ago Fieldbrook Winery's Bob Hodgson took the lead in establishing a professional scoring system for judging the Humboldt County Fair wine competition. This year's event organizer was North Coast Co-op's Bob Stockwell. Oregon mathematician Neil Hulkower assisted with this year's scoring and tallying of results.
"The fair is delighted to have the cooperation of the Humboldt Wine Association in encouraging their members and other area wineries to participate," said Humboldt County Fair entries and exhibits coordinator Susan Combes. She also expressed her appreciation to Hodgson and Stockwell for their contributions to improve the competition, and to The Ivanhoe's Barb Mogni for help to make the event run smoothly, and for obtaining the original judges, several of whom still serve on the panel.
In the Eel River Valley, Ferndale's Frog Alley Winery captured two gold, one silver and three bronze ribbons, and Monument Vineyards in Rio Dell brought home one gold ribbon and one bronze ribbon.
Southern Humboldt wineries to take home awards included Briceland Vineyards, with a total of 12, including a double gold for its 2010 Lake County Syrah; Riverbend Cellars in Myers Flat with two silver ribbons and 2 bronze ribbons; Lost Coast Vineyards with three bronze ribbons; and Elk Prairie Vineyard with a bronze ribbon for its 2009 pinot noir.

When we go to visit my grandparents in Bellingham, Washington we go to a local cheese farm to buy cheese.
This beef burger is combined with sauteed vegetables and wine, then topped off with a sun-dried tomato pesto and spinach leaves on a grilled onion roll.
I wanted to create a burger that had a gourmet appeal and old school burger toppings.
I love a burger with lots of ingredients, but hate the mess of trying to bite into a huge burger. I thought it would be great if every thing was on the inside!
Der Knappnberger speaks of all there is in me, as an American and as a Texan. I was born and raised in Texas and I know there is one thing Texans love above all else...breakfast!
While growing up in the Pacific Northwest, my family always enjoyed stopping at local "hamburger joints' for a quick meal.
The outskirts of Philly are teeming with country farms offering a wide range of seasonal produce. In getting into the autumn months apples and (especially) mushrooms reign supreme!
This recipe was inspired by the flavors of the Alps -- and in particular the kinds of dishes one would find at an Austrian Heuriger (a restaurant that serves new wine and accompanying dishes).
Although I prefer natural lump charcoal for its smokey flavor, there are times when I need to fire up the gas grill for convenience sake.
My middle son says at my age I need to stay mobile. I love puttering around my kitchen and backyard.
Most of my cooking at home is best by instantaneous creative efforts. Whatever we have is usually thrown together in an explosion of taste.
This succulant burger combines a few ingredients you don't typically find in a burger ... brown sugar, sesame seeds and cocoa powder.
Juicy big beef burgers and grilled Chanterelle mushrooms are topped with a tasty cheese fondue and then sprinkled with Chipotle Chili Barbeque spiked shallots in crusty French bread.

Not just for Slurpees, coffee and glazed donuts anymore, 7-Eleven convenience stores are aiming high in their fresh food ambitions.
In a New York Times interview in late December, the retailer said it aims to have 20% of sales come from fresh foods in its American and Canadian stores, which would be double current levels.
"We're aspiring to be more of a food and beverage company, and that aligns with what the consumer now wants, which is more tasty, healthy, fresh food choices," Joseph DePinto, the chief executive of 7-Eleven, a subsidiary of the Japanese company Seven & i Holdings, told the Times.
The world's biggest convenience store chain, founded in 1927 in Texas, now operates, franchises and licenses approximately 7,550 stores in the U.S., according to the company's website. The company said it sells 320 fresh bakery items every minute and 169 million donut and pastry items in a year.
In total, 7-Eleven chain has 48,000 stores in 16 countries.
Steve Lutz, executive vice president of the Nielsen Perishables Group, said he couldn't speak to 7-Eleven's performance with fresh foods because those numbers are not public.
"We know that in general fresh foods are doing pretty well in a number of these small quick serve alternative format stores," he said.
Lutz said prepared sandwiches, deli items, prepared meals on the go, and convenient and prepared fruits and vegetables are being offered to cultivate consumers who want to eat healthy on the go.
"Those stores are getting traction in food and to the extent that fruits and vegetables are becoming more convenient friendly, the products become more workable for those formats.
The Times story reported the chain has assembled of culinary and food science experts to help it develop new convenient and tasty menu items. One new menu item cited is called the Bistro Snack Protein Pack, featuring mini pita rounds, cheddar cheese cubes, grapes, celery, baby carrots and humus.
More and more of the nearly 150,000 convenience stores in the U.S. are looking at expanding fresh food sales, said Dick Meyer, president of Mesa, Ariz.-based Meyer & Associates, a convenience store consulting firm.
Of the 150,000 convenience stores in the U.S., about 90,000 are operated by single-store operators.
"Those people are a mixed bag and they are as good as their distributors," he said.
Core-Mark International, South San Francisco, Calif., is a distributor to 29,000 retail operations in North America through 28 distribution centers, and Meyer said the company has ramped up its fresh offerings to convenience stores.
Temple, Texas-based McClane Company Inc., is the biggest distributor to convenience stores, Meyer said, supplying perhaps about 40,000 convenience stores, including 7-Elevens, Valeros and others.
Foodservice demands daily deliveries, which is difficult for a convenience store that usually gets weekly or twice a week delivery.
Highlighting fresh food is the latest ways that some convenience stores are appealing to changing consumer needs, Meyer said. In the 1970s, convenience stores had only begun to offer gasoline. He said it didn't take long for convenience stores to become the top outlet for gas.
Fresh food is more complicated than gas or coffee, Meyer said, and not all convenience stores have embraced the challenge since fresh food began to appear in stores in the 1990s.
Meyer said the highly regarded QuikTrip Corporation, headquartered in Tulsa, Okla., increased its focus on fresh foods about five years ago. The $10 billion chain has 600 stores in 11 states. Now QuikTrip has daily delivery of fresh foods from its it distribution centers.
Kwiktrip, based in Lacrosse, Wis., is another convenience store chain that has had success with fresh. "They have their own commissary and trucks going every day to the store, and they sell 10 million pounds of bananas every year," Meyer said.
He said Subway, which has been a client of Meyer, has been successful in expanding its restaurants in convenience stores into a billion-dollar division.
Lutz said Schotts and Wawa convenience stores have also been strong performers with fresh and prepared foods.
Meyer said convenience stores have more points of distribution than other retail sector, so those outlets have tremendous opportunities because of the traffic they draw.
Convenience stores have more ATMs, sell more coffee and sell more gas than any other retail outlet, Meyer said. "They're convenient, they are on the way to work, they are on the way home, and it takes five minutes to get in and get out," he said.
The key for produce suppliers is finding stores that can successfully execute fresh food and providing them the logistical solutions to make fresh food work, Meyer said.
Lutz said foodservice distributors often bring products to convenience stores because they are familiar with delivering product in small batches.
"Produce has an opportunity to have find the good operators," he said. "If you have (successful operators) and distribution daily so things are fresh, boy, you can sell them anything," he said.

Johnny Davis will be on Kevin Lee's show. Sometime between now and 11:00, I don't know when, I'm guessing in the 10:00 hour
He'll be on in a few minutes, must be 9:30
Damn online thing wont work for me, keep us updated UB
Thanks UB, Kevin Lee just commented that he hears the Pacers really like Powell.
Thinks Greene and Powell stand the best chance to make it.
Tinsley has now hired a chef and has begun lifting weights for the first time.
Why Not Us ?
GOOD, We need to keep Orien Green and Josh Powell on this roster.
To be honest, it just seems a bit comical that Greene has to fight for a roster spot. He's going to be a solid contributor, if he gets the chance.
I like what I hear, who is ready for Sunday?
JD is on right now
JD will be in charge of the offense, trying to get an uptempo style of basketball.
aiight keep us updated, i think we should keep Snap Hunter.
So, JD with the O, Person with the D....what's RC gonna do?
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
Blue card Jamaal every chance he gets?
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
As least we know.
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
And people blame his history of injuries on the medical staff.
This is absolutely amazing that a man with that much cash flow was uninterested in making his body the best it could be, to work for that paycheck.
The past few days have really got me in a positive mood, even on Jax, but Tins just keeps tumbling down and down with me.
Good God he must be dense.
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
Well, technically it took JO something like 6 years to hire a personal chef, right? 4 years in Portland, then 2 with the Pacers. I'm not excusing Tinsley, but some people won't believe the stove is hot until they've touched it.
lol @ Jamaal not being liked because he didnt hire a chef earlier in his career. Thats great. Hate on.
I'm more worried about the lifting weights comment.
Weight lifting has been a proven vital part of athletics as far back as ancient Rome, and I'm sure even farther.
That's completely S-T-U-P-I-D.
That's great. Keep the blindfold on.
I don't think anyone is saying, "we have to get rid of Jamaal because he didn't have a chef!" Rather, I'd say it's more like, "Why would he not take better care of himself?" Sure, they're regular people, too, but Jamaal has had enough health problems to consider it before now.
I'm in the camp that says, "Well, I'm glad he finally took these steps" instead of "why didn't he before?" Maybe, even Tins is trying to fix his problems. Could you imagine if JO, Jack, and Tins all worked on themselves individually and came into this season healthy and focused? We might make some real noise if that happened.
OK, I'll put the Kool-Aid down...I'm drinking too much of this stuff...
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
Bet the new chef doesn't include any Snickers bars.
The best exercise of the human heart is reaching down and picking someone else up.
Too much weight on a frame not intended can be unhealthy.
It was also reported that JO worked his total body this year, instead of just his upper body. That get's you in big trouble, and I'd lay money on it that it was a big reason for his lower body injuries.
College players lift weights EVERYDAY. Most highschool players lift weights 3-4 times a week. It's a proven science. It works, but only if you do it correctly (or at all.)
I can't believe they didn't make him atleast do something, maybe not intensely, but atleast lift something other than his water bottle.

When her 5-year-old son vanished from the backyard, Mrs. Bogart knew just where to find him. Perched on the platform that held the icehouse, Charles Bogart would be watching the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad trains chugging by.
The Bogarts lived in Newport and according to Charles, "There was nothing between us and the tracks."
Perennial rose bushes grace either side of the monument; and for the past 90 years they have faithfully sent forth abundant blossoms. It is as if the rose bushes themselves acknowledge the great service rendered by the soldier whose remains rest beneath the ground under their outstretched roots.
He stood six feet tall. His finely chiseled face was framed by curly brown hair, and according to an admirer, his gray eyes "reflected strength of character."
One Northern newspaper branded him "the king of horse thieves, a bandit, a freebooter, no better than a thug," while in the South he was admired as "the thunderbold of the Confederacy." Most Owen countians supported his cause, embraced his ideology and offered him sanctuary whenever he visited the area.
Her thickly lashed gentle eyes gazing from the photo reflected a serene spirit. Despite her size she was well proportioned, and like many of her kind she holds a special place in the hearts of those who care for her.
"Dear Mom and all,
I'm writing you a few lines to say hello and tell you that I'm getting along fine. Well Mom, we left Missouri Monday and arrived in Louisiana Tuesday about 12 o'clock. Well Mom I don't have much to say, but I'll give you my address anyway … tell them all hello and give them my best wishes … it's awful beautiful out here and the trees are all pine. Well, I'll have more time to write the next time.
Love, Marvin"
"He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not…"
Many a young girl recites these words as she pulls petals off a flower. The purpose is to reveal the true intent of an admirer.
Sayings, superstitions and old wives tales were tucked away in the memories and embedded in the culture of early Owen County settlers. Most were of Scotch-Irish, German and English descent, and along with their few belongings, they brought a rich legacy of these sayings from Europe to the New World.
He was a yarn-spinner and a rail-splitter. He was mostly self-educated but went on to become a storekeeper, a lawyer and the president of the United States.
He and his future wife were both born in Kentucky. He came into the world in a rough-hewn cabin, she in a luxurious home in Lexington. He was famous for his wit, honesty, and compassion; all of which served him well as he led this divided country during a most volatile tragic time.
Many may recall the old saying, "There's more than one way to skin a cat." After spending the afternoon celebrating the 96th birthday of Monterey resident and historical society member Lela Maude Hawkins, I discovered there is more than one way to kill a snake.
"When our boys have crossed the ocean. There to die in No Man's Land
Oh, what true and brave devotion. As we see them take their stand.
We will pray for their returning. And we'll keep the home fires burning;
We will one and all be true. While our boys are nobly dying
For the flag. Red, White and Blue."
It stands atop a slight rise facing Highway 127. Its alabaster exterior evokes a picturesque portrait of a country church waiting to usher a community of believers into a worshipful haven. Though small, the vestibule has the honor of both welcoming visitors and members; and is a place at the end of a service for handshaking as the congregation adamantly declares approval of the sermon.
For almost 100 years, the small, white church has faithfully served the community of Poplar Grove in northern Owen County.

hi guys,
I know you cant disabled the back button, and I don't really want to - but is there any way to stop a code block running again if a user clicks back?
I am writing a quick and dirty (low budget) wizard in PHP for one of my clients and it post's back to itself until it follows X amount of steps. Everything is running as I'd wished but I just want to catch this eventuality.
Many thanks.
I guess it is more javascript issue: something like that?
In PHP you can just check in session latest request of that user to see if they are the same, I guess.
I haven't tried this (so consider it a theory), but if you set your Cache header to no-cache so the pages can't be cached, the browser might now allow the back button to be invoked, or if it did, it would show a message stating the page has expired and to refresh to get the latest version of it.
Worth a shot
What I really want is to distinguish between the submit button being pressed to go forward (postback), and the back button being pressed on the browser.
I have an Object stored in a session variable which has data added to it with every step, if one were to go backwards the data would be added twice and thats what id like to avoid is possible.
I can understand that The problem you will face (that hopefully using the Cache header with no-cache will solve) is the browser is serving a cached copy of the page, so your script isn't executing to load that previous step (so nothing in your script will block it), but you could check when the form is submitted again, does the data already exist and should I update it?
Or you can try using no-cache and verify that the browser doesn't load a cached version to the user.
Will give that a bash tommorow If any other PHP pro's have any suggestions as well they are most welcome
Well, in the short term;Write a 'executed' code into the session; dont execute the code block if the session holds that value.This is obviously easier to do with form input.
For example:
<input type='hidden' name='formid' value='<?php echo time(); ?>'>
if(!isset($_SESSION[$_POST['formid']])) {
$_SESSION[$_POST['formid']] = '';
If they push the back button (and thus, resubmit the form), $_SESSION will hold the value of formid already, and not execute the code.
Thats a damn good idea, im going to try that - will let you know how I get on!!

text: The Texans had good talent for a while and they were expected to win long before they did. However, they really only won because someone had to fill the void created by the total collapse of the Colts. The Broncos did have a miracle season and if you had a hall of fame QB there, well, it sounds like Super Bowl to me. The 49ers play in the weakest division in all of football. Someone has to win it and Seattle did the year or two before with a losing record. When a team is beaten down the way the Colts are, they are not going to recover in three, four or even five years. I have not seen one expert say anything except that it will be a struggle that will take several years. Yes, some fans are unrealistic (as always) and predict great things in two or three years. You really need to visit Las Vegas and lay some money down if you really believe that. The odds are way in your favor.......This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

When a library opens its doors, it's opening up opportunity, knowledge and, ultimately empowerment. One-hundred year ago, the LaSalle Public Library opened its doors, giving people a chance to travel wherever their imaginations could take them. That's more than just public service, that's changing lives.
