One source of our inspiraton…and what green lifestyle design means
By Marcie Barnes
For those of you unfamiliar with the term "lifestyle design," it was coined by bestselling author Timothy Ferriss about five years ago in tandem with the writing and release of his first book, The 4-Hour Workweek. You can read all about it on his blog. In short, Tim is all about choosing the most efficient paths in life that lead to health and happiness. And he's done the research to back up everything he says, trust me.
Now those of you who know me are aware of the fact that I have been a volunteer member of Tim's team since the very early days of 4-Hour Workweek. I actually stumbled across Tim and his book before it became a bestseller, and was fascinated and inspired by his personal case studies and writing. That said, I give a great deal of credit to Tim and his books (his most recent one, The 4-Hour Body, actually delves into more detail about why eating "green", in particular, is also almost always the best choice for your health as well as for the health of the planet). Both books have certainly improved my life and have given me, in part, the insight and motivation to bring you this site — where we will delve more deeply into the world of green lifestyle design.
In this video, circa 2008, Tim addresses each of the major categories that we will also be addressing here — mostly conservation, food and transportation-related questions from our friends at treehugger. Most importantly, he talks about the kinds of choices we can make in our lives to be more "green" – without doing things like living totally off the grid and raising our own food. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. But because, as Tim says, that would be completely unrealistic for most of us…and we agree.
Without further ado, I present to you Mr. Tim Ferriss on green lifestyle design:

SXSW Eco: Let's Stop Talking About Sustainability: How Our Current Vocabulary is Failing Us
By Marcie Barnes
Panelists: Andrew Hutson – Project Manager, Corporate Partnerships for Environmental Defense Fund; Gary Lawrence – VP and Chief Sustainability Officer, AECOM; Jeff Nesbit – Executive Director, Climate Nexus; John Rooks – President and Founder, The SOAP Group; Brooke Buchanan – Director of Communications for Sustainability, Wal-Mart.
Perspectives on how to approach different audiences with a different narrative.
Nuggets from the panel:
Words like sustainability cause people's eyes to glaze over all the time. What do we need to be doing differently? We need to be able to have a conversation. No one will use the word 'climate' in Washington right now. Don't lead with ideas that threaten people's core beliefs, etc. People seek out ideas that conform to their core beliefs. If you hear something that challenges your core belief, you tune it out or look for it's fault(s).
You have to tell the story in a compelling way to each audience. We're passionate but talk about it in sterile terms.
To most people 'sustainability' means nothing. Needs to be communicated that it's about outcomes for humans, not the environment. It's a great word for companies, executives, etc. but not for regular people. They understand simpler things like clean air, clean water.
The language in the national security and the 'fundamental' audiences is vastly different from in the environmental movement.
Wal-Mart does not plan to rate all of their products on their sustainability scale, they are working on it but there are too many.
The word happiness matters, sustainability tends to be all about risk. People like us can make a difference in the future in our species. The language problem is critical, we have to focus on the things that drive people's daily concerns.
Correlation between evolution denialists & climate denialists – do not talk science with them, should be more about "creation care." Recycling creates jobs, etc.
"We don't need to save the planet, the planet will survive, we need to save us." – Nesbit
We've dropped the moral argument, we need to make that argument without finger-wagging.
Empathy is very important when communicating with people who "don't understand."

SXSW Eco: Building a Better Climate Movement
By Marcie Barnes
Panelists: Courtney Hight – Co-Executive Director, Energy Action Coalition; John Pflueger – Principal Environmental Strategist for Dell; Tom Brookes – Managing Director, Energy Strategy Centre; Bee Moorhead – Director of Texas Interfaith Power and Light.
Nuggets from panel:
More and more companies are publishing corporate responsibility reports. The climate movement is not an official one with a flag and a logo, but a defacto one. From the corporate perspective [Dell] pays attention to what customers want and ask for.
It's not clear whether or not there is a climate movement. What is it? A left-wing campaign? A common agenda for change? A lifestyle choice? A new economic narrative? Is the left wing really inherently badly organized?
It is perceived to be a left wing issue, in the faith community, the synthesis is between rules and love, between two ways of engaging the world. About how do we live with each other. There's not a movement that's effective.
The movement is very fragmented. We need business, personal , individual, massive projects that the governement will invest in, people with coal plants nearby are already part of climate change issues, regardless of political affiliation.
It looks like there is a a positive ramp-up over time in recent years – a positive curve. The people occupying wall street have been personally impacted, climate change is not an immediate personal experience for most, but there are those dying from coal plant emissions, mining side-effects, etc…people are pissed and seeing the massive grip of corporate control and they decide to go wall street, we need to connect to that and learn lessons from that.
Graphic: Key Components of the Climate Change Denial Machine – should the climate movement go up against each point in order to move forward? None of the political agreements (Kyoto, etc.) are doing what they were intended to do. The debate in America is more intense but the rest of the world is also not "up to snuff."
Addressing the real problem means addressing the money chain / corporate component and also making personal choices. It's hard to pinpoint one bad guy in the climate movement (in comparison to pinpointing Wall Street, etc.) Campaign finance reform will be an important avenue. Our President is not talking about climate change, it has become a hush issue.
We need to organize better. On power – we've got to give the other side some space in order to start a conversation, not keep yelling at them.
SXSW Eco: God, Guns, and Greens: Forging Unlikely Allies in the Fight for Safe Food
By Marcie Barnes
Speaker: Simran Sethi – Associate Professor, University of Kansas and award-winning journalist and academic who teaches on sustainability, environmentalism, and social justice.
Sharing what she learned after moving from NYC to Kansas.
In NYC she denounced climate denialists, in Kansas she has learned to understand their concerns. In NYC she talked about farmers, in Kansas she is learning to farm. Food connects to all of us, we cherish food.
Percentage of Americans who believe the globe is warming has risen to 83%, up from last year. We don't like to believe things that don't coordinate with our personal perception, we have been perceiving warm.
Research shows that there is only so much we can worry about at one time. The way to make information relevent, is to work within existing cares we already have, not something new.
Environmentalism is not just about climate, grids, etc. it's also about our relationship to the earth and our connections with others. We are stewards of God's garden and are commanded to cultivate and care for it. We are intrinsically connected to, not separate from, our ecosystem.
The conventional farmer shopping at Wal-Mart knows a lot more about climate cycles, the environment, etc. than she does. Large-scale agribiz is the only form of farming that has grown over the last [30] years.
"If you are what you eat, and especially if you eat industrial food, as 99 percent of Americans do, what you are is 'corn'." – Michael Pollan
Our access to food is becoming a luxury, food prices are predicted to rise without even considering the effects of global warming. For people of faith, this should be unacceptable. 9/10 of the world's calories now come from 10 food commodities.
On genetically modified organisms (GMOs) – All the big GMO seed companies started out as chemical companies. They take the sovergnty of seeds out of the hands of farmers and into the hands of corporations. Whoever controls the world's seeds controls the world's food supply. Monsanto has 647 biotech patents & are the largest GMO seed producer. They are feeding the animals & the gas tanks with biofuels – most of the big NGOs who support these companies are heavily invested in them. They will supply seeds for free to farmers in need but require them to sign contracts [and buy their chemicals]. GMO seeds are a manipulation of natural DNA processes. Those traits would never naturally occur [as opposed to cross-pollination, etc.]
However the GMO seeds can cross-pollinate with heirloom or organic crops and contaminate them (and vice-versa). The smallest farmers with the fewest resources are the ones being sued by these companies for raising seeds that have been patented (due to cross-pollenation/seed drift). Terminator seeds have been genetically modified to not reproduce. Crop will grow normally but the seed does not generate.
Study on GMOs' impact on pregnant women (gylsophate) showed that it showed up in 100% of blood/umbilical cord samples because mothers ate meat that ate the GMO corn, etc.
The saving seed tradition that farmers have relied on has been ruined by these corporations. Reference: Genesis 29-31 God is the master of all nature. We can't tackle climate change without tackling agriculture, must reach farmers. Take this back to your communities and make a difference, we have to try harder and do more.
Ballot initiative in California underway to label GMOs, spread the word to help them set a precedent. Obama supported labeling during campaign [Coalition asks for GM food labeling].
Start with what people love, people can meet in the middle with gardening/farming, don't talk about politics. Don't ambush with information. Community gardens reconnect people the source of their sustenance.
Stunned that there has not been more reporting around the fact that the Gates Foundation is heavily invested in Monsanto. Get this information out there. Do research and share the information.
Make the land we already have more efficient. There is a lot of research to show "we can feed the world" without GMOs. [Big Ag Won't Feed the World].
SXSW Eco: Feast and Famine: The Global Food Paradox
By Marcie Barnes
A panel of three experts on the discrepancy between obesity and hunger, and the global food crisis.
Panelists: Peggy Neu – President of Monday Campaign: Kristen Sitchler – Garden Grants & Legal Manager of FoodCorps; Neil Miller – Farmers Around the World, Executive Director of World Farming Relief.
Moderator: Marla Camp – publisher of Edible Austin Magazine.
Feeding the world with cheap calories has only exasperated health problems, etc. will explore solutions, collectively come up with imperatives to take back to use in our daily lives.
Miller: A lot more interest from people wanting to train for starting small farms, urban gardens, school gardens, etc. in the last 5 years. Works with international partners as well as local school systems. Has an international and local perspective on hunger.
Sitchler: FoodCorps was born out of a concern for the obesity epidemic in America. Goal of how to best address those issues. Great way to reach out to children is to engage them in schools, where some eat 3 meals a day. Engage children in school gardens, bring produce from local farms into schools.
Neu: Started the modern Meatless Monday – which actually started in WWI to conserve food and help feed war-ravaged areas. The modern incarnation started in 2003. Goal to get people to eat less meat due to health and environmental impacts. Spread virally through the internet and has been featured by celebrity chefs and on major outlets.
Nuggets from panel:
Reference to Bittman's recent article on "Is Junk Food Really Cheaper?"
We've created an economy/policies that create cheap food that leads to obesity when those foods are readily available and cheap.
In Haiti, the local rice costs 2x what the rice imported from America costs due to Haiti being forced to reduce their rice tariffs, and US rice farmers were receive huge subsidies, which have been increasing each year. After the earthquake in Haiti, President Clinton made a public apology for his policies which he acknowledged ruined their rice economy in order to help the US farmers. We need to look more towards production of fruits and vegetables in America and not to compete with farmers in countries where they need those kinds of calories.
Statistics on FoodCorp's first year – built 20 new school gardens, 49 revitalized, delivered 1600 lbs. of produce to families in need, started thousands of programs. The communities are receptive. Kids are thrilled to get outside and have a "salad party."
Policy issues regarding school gardens vary by location, FoodCorp finds it is often a misunderstanding that they can work through, barriers can be removed at the local level in many cases.
Kids are taught to give back to the community, grow a row for the Food Bank, sharing through community gardens, etc.
How to challenge the issue of subsidies – the farm bill, surveys are showing that a slight majority of people want the subsidies cut. It is a very complicated issue, it would be hard to pull out subsidies all at once and watch the farm economies in rural America tank. Perhaps we should subsidize healthy foods instead.
The American Agriculture Alliance (industry-funded) is publicly against Meatless Monday, etc. – which means they are making a difference. The US Farmers & Ranchers Association want to change the perception of farmers and big ag. We don't want to put these companies out of business but influence they way they operate, shift their paradigms.
Cargill's new "natural turkey" is a product of what consumers want but within the USDA guidelines they are still barn-kept, corn-fed.
SXSW Eco Session "Straight to the Point" Community Action, Safe Drinking Water, Ending the Coal Industry…
By Marcie Barnes
Experimental Data Visualization: Leveraging Personal and Community Action
Green Maps can take on different neighborhoods, different issues. Getting people outdoors in Stockholm, biodiversity in Singapore, etc. Can help map corporate social responsibility. Many tools you can repurpose for your community.
Sol Design Lab is creating solar charging stations for bikes, cell phones electric vehicles, etc. Mission: "to create interactive and inspiring solutions for urban sustainability, public art, and design."
Using Carbon Financing to Provide Sustainable Access to Safe Drinking Water
"Environmental health is directly connected to human health…and social health" Lifestraw is a water filter that works by gravity so it is very clean. Since people are no longer boiling their water, there's a tangible impact on the carbon market. It's unique because it's a way to adapt current regulation to allow for an innovative project.
No More Coal: The Business Case for Ending an Industry
(Gil Friend, CEO of Natural Logic Inc.) Coal from a business perspective purely (not health or environmental). The global subsidy to fossil fuels is range, so say 200 billion. The market value of global coal industry = $155B. If we shut this down and used the money saved on subsidies and shut down the mines, cleaned up all the rivers, air, etc. there would still be money left over. We have a society focused on just the bottom line.
The real costs of a gallon of gas are $15-$20/gallon when you consider subsidies, military, taxes, health effects. Subsidies on fossil = 6x the subsidies on clean energy. These are political decisions, not economic decisions. Nuclear subsidies at 140% the actual energy being produced. Transitions not easy – seeing some movement on wall street – different industries have different risk in terms of carbon, health, etc. Investment shifts are getting attention.
What do we do? Zero out subsidies. Have an "unusual" coalition to take down all subsidies which will shift the favor towards renewables. Demand transparency. Most subsidized companies do not disclose the subsidy amounts (or consider environmental impact, etc.) Get CFOs into the sustainability game. They own risk & value and need to be at the table. "Sometimes the invisible hand needs an invisible foot."
Keep Austin Neutral – Austin's Leadership in Climate Protection
They want to be the most livable city in the country. Sustainability is in the core of their city planning, and they are planning with climate change effects in mind. Plan to be using all renewable energy by 2020, have a 100% green vehicle fleet, Austin is the largest city in the country right now buying 100% renewable energy through wind power credits. In the press yesterday because of all this: http://www.environmentalleader.com/2011/10/03/city-of-austin-texas-goes-100-renewable/

Traveling Like a Budget Babe
Who ever said penny-pinchers couldn't be classy? First let's break down, "Classy." Pearls? A Chanel GST shopper tote? Perfectly nude heels? How about confidence? Intelligence? It's not just about the look; it's that air of distinction we get, like when we raise our pinky while drinking our nightly glass of wine #oliviapopestyle. Don't just look cultured; be cultured by travelling and experiencing the world. Whether you have student loans, you're saving for that coveted purse or life just got in the way, you can still have the world at your fingertips, by travelling on a budget.
Seek It Out!
It's all about being that PowerB!tch. Make use of the reason you got those student loans in the first place and put your brain to good work. The strong and intelligent woman you are can travel anywhere you damn well please, just by finding the right deals.
- Find Cheap Flights on flight websites like Skyscanner.com and CheapOAir.com where you can quickly compare flights to find the cheapest deal.
- Squat. Not just for a perky butt. We mean be a squatter…a legal one…by housesitting. Know a friend in Australia who needs someone to keep an eye on their home? Drop everything and figure it out. Start at House Sitters America, Mind My House and the Caretaker Gazette.
- You don't need fancy. Travel is about the real and the raw experience. Stay at hostels or rent rooms from locals through sites like Airbnb.com to get a feel for the area's hot spots and hidden treasures, and snap the hell out of them on your Instagram.
- Connect. Have a pilot friend or know a friend of a friend who works for an airline? Take them out to lunch and request a buddy pass! Use those persuasive skills of yours and turn that lunch into a discount trip to Greece (handsome friend of a friend may or may not be invited #summerfling).
Get Your Sh!t Together
Before you throw around the million excuses of why you can't travel or don't have the funds for your next adventure, look around. Did you need that flat-screen TV? I mean how many Real Housewives can you really binge-watch? Was your last weekender a blur because of all the parties, sprees or whatever else you did to soak up the California sun? Let's scale back a little so we can really experience the world:
- Pick something you can live without and live without it. "Maybe if you just drank less Starbucks you could…" said every financial advisor ever. If you didn't spend that $4 a day on your latte, you could save $1,460 a year! That has to be a round-trip flight to London.
- Go Generic. As much as it irritates you to not use your favorite brand, go for generic or don't buy brands at all. Do you really need another pair of aviators? If you really want another, get your next pair on your next trip! There's something to look forward to.
- Zero Big Weekends = One Big Trip. A weekend trip here and there can be tempting…just imagine getting those macarons you want, but in France.
- Wine + Netflix. Put the money you'd normally spend on a night out into your savings and voila.
- Ask for Money (really). Next time you're due a present, ask for something related to travel. If you're too shy to ask straight up for those bills, ask for gift cards related to traveling (air mileage, travel goods stores etc.).
Shameless Selfies
You're halfway across the world, so go selfie crazy. You're always wondering, "how do they have the time and money to travel?" as you're scrolling through your Facebook feed, but now it's time for people to wonder how you did it. Plus, selfies are a way for you to look back with your kids at your younger years when you were cool and well traveled. Your face in the picture is just further evidence of your former coolness.
So spread your fiscally responsible wings and fly into paradise (or cityscape, your choice).

Former South African President Nelson Mandela has been re-admitted to hospital with a recurrence of a lung infection. A statement from the South African presidency said Mr Mandela, 94, had been admitted just before midnight.
Mr Mandela spent 18 days in hospital in December undergoing treatment for a lung infection and gallstones. He is widely regarded as the father of the nation for leading the struggle against apartheid. Mr Mandela served as South Africa's first black president from 1994 to 1999.
However, his health has caused concern for some time. A presidential spokesman told the BBC that Mr Mandela was conscious and was receiving the best possible medical treatment. "I think we need to be clear that the doctors are attending to Madiba [Mr Mandela] on a continuous basis," spokesman Mac Maharaj said.
"They prefer to act on the side of caution, and the moment they felt there was a recurrence of the lung infection, they felt that it warranted immediate hospitalisation given his age and given his history." However, the BBC's Andrew Harding in South Africa says the abrupt nature of Mr Mandela's late-night admission is likely to raise concerns.
Appeal for prayers The government statement said President Jacob Zuma wished Mr Mandela a speedy recovery.
Key dates
"We appeal to the people of South Africa and the world to pray for our beloved Madiba and his family and to keep them in their thoughts. We have full confidence in the medical team and know that they will do everything possible to ensure recovery," President Zuma said. The former president is often fondly referred to by his clan name, Madiba.
It is the fourth time Mr Mandela has been admitted to hospital in just over two years.
He first contracted tuberculosis in the 1980s while detained on the windswept Robben Island where he served 18 of the 27 years he was imprisoned for sabotage. His lungs are said to have been damaged when he worked in a prison quarry. Despite his long imprisonment, Mr Mandela forgave his former enemies and as president urged South Africans of all races to work together and seek reconciliation. In 1993 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
The treatment he received in December 2012 was his longest spell in hospital since leaving prison in 1990. Earlier this month he spent a night in hospital following a check-up. Mr Mandela retired from public life in 2004 and has been rarely seen in public since. He lives in Qunu, a small rural village in Eastern Cape province, where he says he spent the happiest days of his childhood.

Recent studies have established that hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are quiescent in homeostatic conditions but undergo extensive cell cycle and expansion upon bone marrow (BM) transplantation or hematopoietic injury. The molecular basis for HSC activation and expansion is not completely understood. In this study, we found that key developmentally critical genes controlling hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) generation were up-regulated in HSPCs upon hematopoietic injury. In particular, we found that the ETS transcription factor Ets variant 2 (Etv2; also known as Er71) was up-regulated by reactive oxygen species in HSPCs and was necessary in a cell-autonomous manner for HSPC expansion and regeneration after BM transplantation and hematopoietic injury. We found c-Kit to be downstream of ETV2. As such, lentiviral c-Kit expression rescued Etv2-deficient HSPC proliferation defects in vitro and in short-term BM transplantation in vivo. These findings demonstrate that Etv2 is an important regulator of hematopoietic regeneration.

In the beginning of Crazy, I talk about how most of my childhood was spent wanting to be a Psychiatrist. When I was at the pediatrician, which was part of a large medical practice, I had seen a man who my mom called "The Feelings Doctor." I was fascinated with the idea that it was possible to heal "inside pain," and something just stuck. It was like an indelible imprint, bam! That was it, I was going to be a Psychiatrist.
Little did I know the Feelings Doctor wasn't actually a Psychiatrist. In fact, when I found out he was another type of mental health professional I didn't really care. Nor did I care about the fact that I sucked at science and that medical school would be something completely uninteresting and possibly even outside of my realm of abilities (for a humorous take on how I ended up becoming a Psychologist, click here). I was hellbent on becoming a Psychiatrist, to the point that I completed all my pre-med requirements (with barely a C average) and even went on medical school interviews, hating every minute of the experience. I identified with Psychiatry and I pursued it, flouting reason or real interest.
Identity in all walks of life is important. It connects us to other people in the same group, creating communities and a sense of connection. If you're an athlete or sports fan, there's an intense bond with others who share in the team's successes and failures. When you live in a city, you tend to defend it against outsiders who may bash it, even if they are right. You protect your group and the bond that you experience which, simply put, feels fucking great (one unfortunate, potential side effect of strong identity is the development of hate, which you can read about here).
Hanging out with BL1Y and Philalawyer has taught me a few things about lawyers. Far too many are already in the legal mentality well before they know anything about it. No real research is done. Before the LSAT is even taken so many have fallen prey to the bullshit concepts of money, power or even justice. We hear that a law degree opens up so many doors that it may be considered foolish not to pursue it.
I could have completely fucked up my life had I gone to medical school, had I attempted to cash in on that identity. The most likely scenario is that I would have failed out, which is clearly not the best bullet point on a resume or C.V. Alternatively, I would have survived and completed a residency in Psychiatry.* But then I would have been a glorified drug dealer, seeing dozens of patients per week, with a prescription pad as my main therapeutic tool. Very few, if any, psychiatrists do actual psychotherapy (my true love) and it's unlikely I would have ever discovered it. I was very, very fortunate to learn what I was actually getting into before the shit hit the fan.
The pearl of wisdom here: resist the temptation for a vocational identity until you truly get what that identity means. You don't need to be the upstart, the hotshot wunderkind who really knows his life course before college is even done. You get a small number of mulligans in life. Use your time in school (and possibly beyond) to cash those in, to make mistakes, to see where you fit. Otherwise, be well-prepared to be as inherently miserable as most of the writers on this site. Which means, of course, that I'll likely be seeing you in my office in a few years...
* Interestingly, many psychiatrists I know have told me that they went into that particular field of medicine because they completed medical school only to learn that they didn't really want to be doctors. Psychiatry kept them away from medicine in many ways: regular hours, no blood, no surgery and medical emergencies only on very rare occasions. ^

Understandably, on the New Year's Eve lots of people were out till late night and thought the taxi hailing service like Uber was the safest way to get back home. But, Uber proved them wrong by charging as much as $400 or more for just under 30-minute rides.
But, on the other side, there were also customers who seemed to agree that the surge pricing was a better alternative compared to drunken driving and a DUI ticket. But, most people felt Uber was simply taking undue advantage of people who tried to be responsible.
On the other hand, Uber stated on its website that surge pricing is a measure to ensure reliability. The website statement went on to say that there is a limited number of drivers that the company connect the customer with when there is a demand surge. The surge prices help in making more drivers available. Uber also stated that pricing is clearly notified, and it is only when the customers accept the higher pricing that a driver is connected to the customer.
Some customers also opted for the standard taxi services that offer stable pricing and is more regulated compared to services like Uber. Some others used the social media to vent their ire.
But, despite the protests on surge pricing, ride-sharing companies did roaring business ferrying the New Year revelers safely back home in many cities around the nation. Notably, these ride-sharing companies have been growing in popularity particularly after they started offering the convenience of hailing taxis through a smartphone app.
Uber uses the surge pricing in most cities around the world where they operate. The company defends the surge pricing stating that customers always have the option of not accepting the higher prices and looking elsewhere to hire a cab.
Uber also stated that about 60% customers across the U.S. paid regular fares on the New Years Eve. However, it went on to say that between 12.01 and 12.30 a.m. the demand spiked by as much as 250% which was 70% more than last year. At the peak, there was 165 drop offs every second which was dramatically higher than 85 trips per second in the previous year.
Uber had also published a guide for New Year's Eve rides explaining price surges and recommended calling for a ride early on in the night as well as immediately past midnight to avoid the maximum surge prices. Uber added that a fare estimate is also given to customers before they confirm a ride.

Blue-Skinned Family, Benjamin "Benjy" Stacy so frightened maternity doctors with the color of his skin — "as Blue as Lake Louise" — that he was rushed just hours after his birth in 1975 to University of Kentucky Medical Center.
In an unusual story that involves both genetics and geography, an entire family from isolated Appalachia was tinged blue. Their ancestral line began six generations earlier with a French orphan, Martin Fugate, who settled in Eastern Kentucky.
Doctors don't see much of the rare blood disorder today, because mountain people have dispersed and the family gene pool is much more diverse. But the Fugates' story still offers a window into a medical mystery that was solved through modern genetics and the sleuth-like energy of Dr. Madison Cawein III, a hematologist at the University of Kentucky's Lexington Medical Clinic.
The most detailed account, "Blue People of Troublesome Creek," was published in 1982 by the University of Indiana's Cathy Trost, who described Benjy's skin as "almost purple." The Fugate progeny had a genetic condition called methemoglobinemia, which was passed down through a recessive gene and blossomed through intermarriage.

Beattie aims to stay
By Mark Buckingham
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Celtic starlet Craig Beattie is not looking to leave the club on loan.Celtic starlet Craig Beattie is not looking to leave the club on loan to accrue first team experience.
Beattie has made just one appearance for the SPL champions this season, with his path to the first team blocked by the likes of Henri Camara and Juninho.
The promising young forward signed a new contract with The Bhoys back in January but does not feel it is necessary to move away from Parkhead to play football regularly.
He is aware of the competition for a spot in Martin O'Neill's line-up but is content to knuckle down and force his way past his team-mates.
"I made my decision when I signed for Celtic as a teenager," said the 20-year-old.
"I knew I was joining a massive club and I pushed myself to the extent that I made the first team squad.
"Now I've got to work hard to grab the manager's attention. I'm looking for a break and the summer signings made no difference to my situation.
"You have to fight for the right to get a game and show patience at the same time.
"Managers have squads because they need replacements for those who are injured or rested."

You are asking some challenging and profound questions. I like it!
I can delve into the subject without first questioning your assumption that there is a higher power, because it is true in my experience.
And the timing of your question fits neatly with a hub just published, "How to Regain Connection with Your Higher Self."
The subject easily filled a hub, and answering your question would fill another. I will follow your writings with interest.
Oddly, focusing too much on discussing the subject can diminish our experience, as it becomes intellectual and the ego is satisfied without actually living it!
We will serve higher power when we aren't thinking about it, when it is a natural act from a pure heart. We can choose our values and wantings consciously, practice the art of letting go, accept the happening of life, internalize our authority rather than give it away, and clear the obstructions within for higher power to flow.

She whispers, "I'm supposed to take you home."
"Not yet," Abel says. "Please, just not yet."
All Abel wants is a little bit of magic in his life. Enough money so his mom doesn't cry at night. Healing for his broken body. And maybe a few answers about his past.
When Abel discovers letters to him from the dad he believed dead, he wonders if magic has come to the hills of Mattingly, Virginia, after all. But not everything is as it seems.
With a lot of questions and a little bit of hope, Abel decides to run away to find the truth. But danger follows him from the moment he jumps his first boxcar, forcing Abel to rely upon his simpleminded friend Willie—a man wanted for murder who knows more about truth than most—and a beautiful young woman who was already on the train. From Appalachia to the Tennessee wilds and through the Carolina mountains, the name of a single small town beckons: Fairhope. That is where Abel believes his magic lays. But will it be the sort that will bring a broken boy healing? And is that the magic that will one day lead him home?

Ireland's gaffers manage to make enthralling tale
Trevor Keane's book on Irish managers never strikes a false note, says Willie O'Dea
Older football fans have a hazy recollection of somebody called Johnny Carey who supposedly managed the Irish international football team back in those dim and distant days when Cuchulainn was busily founding the GAA.
As far as the younger generation is concerned however, Irish international football management began with Jack Charlton. A surprising amount even think it finished with him also. In fact Jack Charlton was Ireland's tenth manager. There have been five since, including Giovanni Trapattoni.
Ever hear of a man called Mick Meagan? No. Or Seán Thomas? No. You may be surprised to learn that they both managed Ireland.
After a glittering management career, firstly with Shamrock Rovers and later with Bohemians, Mick Meagan was appointed manager of the Irish team in September 1969. His reign lasted barely two years. During that period Ireland played 12 matches of which they won not a single one. In fact, they lost nine of them.
Yet Mick Meagan was the first manager of an Ireland international side who had the power to select the players. It took many years but Ireland eventually reaped the rewards of the decision to appoint Meagan in 1969.
Seán Thomas's international management career was even shorter; he was in charge of Ireland for only one game, away to Norway on June 6, 1973, which finished in a 1-1 draw. His period in charge was a brief interlude between the tenures of Liam Tuohy and Johnny Giles.
Johnny Carey was Ireland's first manager from November 1955 to February 1967 but it wasn't until 1969 that its resemblance to a constitutional monarch was changed. The manager had the title, but no real power. A panel of selectors chose the team and the role of manager was largely confined to giving an 'inspiring' pre-match speech to the players, with the possibility of a few follow-up words at half-time.
All these nuggets of football history and many, many more are contained in Gaffers, a new book which chronicles 50 years of Irish football managers written by Limerickman, Trevor Keane.
For anybody interested in the beautiful game, it is an enthralling read. The writing style is attractively vivid and pacy. It is replete with anecdotes, about the dispositions, practices, foibles and eccentricities of the various managers, which range from the astonishing to the hilarious.
Yet through it all the carefully crafted prose never strikes a false note. If Trapattoni's team can reproduce the magic of the Charlton era, then football will come to increasingly dominate everyday conversation. If that happens those who have not read this book will be at a distinct disadvantage.
A percentage of the royalties of the sale of this book are committed to the Diabetes Federation of Ireland. In view of the sheer volume of people afflicted by this unfortunate condition, I do not need to emphasise how worthy that cause is. This alone represents a good reason to buy this book. But those who buy it will discover there are many, many more.

South Coast, MA (PressExposure) June 17, 2009 -- Dr. David Robinson, former Chiropractor and Certified Personal Trainer says Americans can and should forever forget about expensive, time consuming diet pills and weight loss programs. His new book, Transforming Body, Mind and Spirit ~ The NonDiet Way to Live Fit, Trim, Healthy for Life (Strategic), reveals the simple methods used by top personal trainers to help their clients achieve permanent results in eliminating body fat.
Robinson states that this information is not secret and is not necessarily insidersâ knowledge, but well-known techniques so often ignored by the general public for use of intensely marketed weight loss products or programs.
The approaches in Robinson's book are basic methods implemented by Olympic athletes and their trainers to stay fit and lean. In addition, his book offers readers how to self-evaluate their health and lifestyle and how to save money on health care and coverage.
Robinson manages to get this short book chock full of the essentials needed to be fit, trim and healthy for life and save money. In a country where, for decades, Americansâ lifestyles have been extremely unhealthy and they have been apathetic about it, resulting in dramatically worsened levels of health, decreasing life expectancy and the number of cases of chronic disease exploding, this book is most timely

Duke says freshman Jayson Tatum will miss the Blue Devils' two exhibition games with a sprained left foot.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski announced the extent of Tatum's injury Wednesday, one day after he was hurt during practice.
The school says the anticipated recovery time is two weeks and Krzyzewski said it was "the best possible news" because it's "a manageable injury that will not impact Jayson long-term."
Tatum will not play in exhibition games against Virginia State on Friday night or Augustana on Nov. 4.
Tatum is a 6-foot-8 forward and key member of a six-man freshman class that has the Blue Devils voted No. 1 in the coaches' preseason Top 25. The Associated Press poll will be released Monday.

"Scientists have often been baffled by the existence of spontaneous order in the universe. The laws of thermodynamics seem to dictate the opposite, that nature should inexorably degenerate toward a state of greater disorder, greater entropy. Yet all around us we see magnificent structures—galaxies, cells, ecosystems, human beings—that have all somehow managed to assemble themselves."
I was recently clearing out some old junk when I happened to come across an old Playstation 2 and a couple of games. In a more innocent time I, like many other men, frittered away countless hours playing video games, but one of the games I rediscovered recently rekindled some old memories and when I caved in to temptation and hooked it up I could see why.
It goes without saying that this author is not usually prone to exploring the world of games, especially games from 12 years ago which belong to a dead genre, but on replaying a game called R-type Final it occurred to me that what I was seeing was essentially the struggle which Nationalists find themselves in today, but on a deeper, 'meta' level.
R-Type Final is, as the name suggests, the last entry in the R-type franchise by Japanese creator Kazuma Kujo. The game-play is incredibly simplistic, the player controls a small spaceship, the screen moves from left to right and the task of the player is to shoot, blow-up and destroy waves of enemies which flood the screen, the more skillful the player becomes the more stages are unlocked. R-Type Final belongs to old school "Shoot em up" genre.
Where R-Type Final becomes more interesting from an Alt-Right perspective is when we take a closer look at the background story and the nature of the enemy within the game.
The Bydo
The frenetic action of R-Type Final takes place 600 years from now, the player traverses planets, hyper-space, enemy laboratories, asteroids and even other dimensions in the war against "The Bydo".
Unlike most games or movies of this type, the Bydo are not simply a race of aliens trying to conquer earth, they/ it are a refutation of the natural order in its entirety. They are an assault on the very idea of nature and what we would think of as 'natural'. The task of the player in this curious game is to wage war upon 'anti-nature'.
The Bydo themselves range from simplistic robots to battleships, and from bio-mechanical monstrosities to huge pulsating blobs of non-descript matter. As the player progresses through the game more stages become available and more secrets unlocked. The Bydo, it turns out, are man-made. Hundreds of years ago humans were conducting a form of genetic engineering and the experiment went awry, terrifying the humans who then propelled the bio-mass into space…and now it has returned.
The Bydo are a more extreme incarnation of the Borg from Star Trek, however, the Borg only assimilate humanoids, the Bydo assimilate everything.
Like liberalism and globalism both spread viral-like across space and even time!..breaking down all structures and identities, leaving nothing but a self replicating mass in their wake. The end game of liberalism/globalism is the creation of an amorphous blob of race-less consumers, in this 'Brave New World' everybody will be 'sexually liberated' which means the standard family structure will be smashed, and when the birth rate collapses there's always more units to import or, perhaps in the future, genetically engineer into existence, so the consumerism can continue and the usurious debt to High Finance paid for eternity.
Orwell was wrong, the future of the human race is not a boot stamping on a face forever, it's a transsexual mulatto making monthly installments to watch porn on an I-Phone.
We often use and see the term "degenerate" being used as a slur by Christians, conservatives and nationalists to describe liberals and leftists. Note that the word 'gene' sits in the middle of 'degenerate'. So ultimately to be degenerate is be damaging to one's own genes.
A quick Google search reveals what the antonym (opposite) of degenerate is:
As a force which roams the universe absorbing genetic coding and then bastardizing it and reproducing it as bio-mechanical "beings" the Bydo are degeneracy incarnate. In one standout stage the player is stalked by a giant snake which looks strikingly similar to male genitalia, the 'snake' eventually disappears inside of a giant heart via an entrance which looks like female genitalia. The Bydo are actually mocking the natural heterosexual means of reproduction.
What follows from that is the final stage, the player literally enters a plasma soup, in the foreground are thousands of small virus type creatures, antibodies, and in the background a naked man and woman embrace and begin to have sex:
What we are witnessing in the above video, besides a display of astonishingly skillful game playing, is the final confrontation between the natural and the degenerate. The symbolism of the copulating couple is a reminder of what this is all for, the transference of genes through time and entropy. This is what Nationalism comes down to in the end. The word 'Nation' is derived from the Latin 'Natio' which literally means birth, and is directly related to 'natal' and 'nature' and 'native'.
There simply cannot be a higher moral code than the safe guarding of one's own genes and 'birth-right', any values system which holds an abstract principle above it is by definition 'degenerate'.
And yet we live in an age where boys are encouraged to identify as girls, people wander around not having the faintest idea what their ethnic and racial heritage is, anti-identity is the new identity.
Ethno-nationalists are relative late comers to this ancient war, Christians see it in spiritual terms, light versus dark, good versus evil, logos versus anti-logos.
The key players on the other side, the (((agents of chaos))) have seen their power increase exponentially, the more like the Bydo humanity becomes, the tighter their grip on the cultural and political choke points become.
The question is…can we ever really win?
The final boss of R-Type Final is not a gigantic beast or space station, or a hooked nose banker, it's a large putrid blob, and before the player puts it down for good it frantically spawns all manner of replicants, monsters and freaks. But it has no higher purpose other than to simply 'be'. It's all for nothing, chaos for chaos's sake, it's a nullity, a void.
What we have is nature, and as far as allies go, they don't come much better than that….

An Irish woman has become the first adult in the world to receive a revolutionary remote controlled 'robo spine'.
Deirdre McDonnell was diagnosed with scoliosis as a newborn baby. After undergoing the first of many operations at just six weeks old, surgeons decided to try the pioneering MAGEC rod operation back in June 2014.
After three decades of living in pain with a 130 degree 'C' shaped spine, surgeons performed an operation that involved screwing magnetic rods in to Deidre's spine. These rods can now be controlled externally to correct the curvature and straighten her spine.
Deirdre said: 'The operation has completely changed my life. Before, I could only walk short distances without being in pain but now I love to walk everywhere.
'After more than 30 years of operations and taking painkillers, I'm finally hopeful for the future.'
Up until now, the £15,000 procedure has only been performed on children, as it was thought only to be effective for early onset scoliosis – typically diagnosed before the age of ten.
Thanks to the success of Deirdre's operation, doctors are now hopeful that the bone implant will help other adults, many of whom have undergone a number of unsuccessful and painful invasive surgeries in an attempt to straighten and lengthen their spine.

With Super Bowl weekend upon us Jim and me were talking about what we were going to stuff our faces with on Super Bowl Sunday and the same old food that we've done every year kept coming up… pizza and wings…. and in my case copious amounts of beer.
And then we discovered the Pizza Cone… BRILLIANT!!! The Pizza Cone is a cone-shaped crust filled with fresh, Italian ingredients.
It's exactly what it sounds like…a pizza in a cone and Kono Pizza in Edison, NJ has brought this amazing (and why didn't I think of it) idea to America from Italy. And this morning Emilio Verde and Joe Bellavia stopped by the studio with boxes of Pizza cones for us to try… Jim stuck with the breakfast cone and I went for the Chicken Parm… delicious…. the crust is crispy and the pizza is already folded… so if you're lazy it's one less step for you. It's so easy to eat… no dripping… and, as I said… delicious.
And it's perfect for your Super Bowl party…instead of what everyone else is having!
We also had Greg Kinlaw on the phone with us this morning…one of the entrepreneurs who brought this international craze to Jersey and it's amazing how much this Southern boy knows about pizza.

The Robert Morris Colonials went on the road and earned a split in the state of Connecticut. After losing a tough game to Quinnipiac Bobcats by two points on Thursday night, they rebounded today by upending the Sacred Heart Pioneers, 68-63.
The Colonials are now 18-9 overall and tied in the conference with the Long Island-Brooklyn Blackbirds. However, the Colonials have the head-to-head tiebreaker on the Blackbirds due to a 60-57 win in Brooklyn earlier in the season.
What was most impressive about the Colonials win today was that they responded under extreme adversity.
They were seemingly in foul trouble all day long but still led a 16 point lead with just under four minutes to go. However, the Pioneers went on a 15-1 run and the Colonials had to dig deep to pull the game out.
Head Coach Andy Toole, one of the youngest head coaches in the country, made a great coaching decision late in the game.
Up three points with 9.6 seconds remaining, he decided to foul the Pioneers after they inbounded the ball and took a few dribbles to half court. The decision chopped a few valuable seconds off the clock before the Pioneers went to the line to shoot two free throws. The Pioneers ended up missing both free throws and eventually losing the game.
Toole should be applauded for fouling when the opponent was already in the double bonus. Bo Ryan, Wisconsin Badgers head coach, had two fouls to give, yes to give, and allowed the Michigan Wolverines to connect on a 3-point shot, which would have won the game for Michigan if not for a buzzer beater game-tying 3-point shot.
Toole made a tough choice and it paid off.
It will be those types of in-game decisions that will make Robert Morris the favorite to win the NEC regular season title.

Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley's most RELAXED interview
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS: THE MOVIE reunites Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley as the iconic Edina and Patsy along with the rest of the original cast from the BBC TV sitcom.
Hughesy and Kate caught up with Jennifer and Joanna in what they're labelling, their most relaxed interview ever!
Appropriate for their big screen debut, Edina and Patsy are still oozing glitz and glamour, living the high life they are accustomed to; shopping, drinking and clubbing their way around London's trendiest hotspots. Blamed for a major incident at an uber fashionable launch party, they become entangled in a media storm and are relentlessly pursued by the paparazzi. Fleeing penniless to the glamorous playground of the super-rich, the French Riviera, they hatch a plan to make permanent their escape and live the high life forever more!
In true Ab Fab style, the cast will be joined by a host of A-list stars from the acting, music and fashion worlds.
Absolutely Fabulous hits Australian cinemas on August 4.

How People Change
About the Book
How People Change
Why do so many Christians remain ineffective, unproductive and unchanged by the power of the gospel and the promises of God for their lives? And, why don't the commands and principles of Scripture seem to work in the real world? In their new book, HOW PEOPLE CHANGE (Punch Press, May 2006), authors Timothy S. Lane and Paul David Tripp strike a chord in the hearts of those who sometimes doubt that the grace of Christ is really powerful enough to produce good, lasting fruit in such a troubled and troubling world.
A changed heart is the bright promise of the gospel. Yet, there are many people who know the Lord but whose lives fail to produce the expected fruit of faith. Their lives are not characterized by peaceful, loving relationships, a sweet, natural, day-by-day worship of the Lord, a wholesome and balanced relationship to material things and ongoing spiritual growth. Instead, these believers leave a trail of broken relationships, a knowledgeable but impersonal walk with God, a struggle with material things and a definite lack of personal growth.
In HOW PEOPLE CHANGE, Timothy and Paul show readers what's wrong with this picture --- and how they can revolutionize it. While explaining the biblical pattern for change in a clear, practical way, the authors give the answers to some of our most plaguing questions:
- What resources do we really have in Christ to deal with our heart struggles?
- What power does Christ give us as we battle subtle yet powerful idols?
- Why is the Cross the only place of hope if our greatest problems are within us?
- What difference does the gospel make in the here and now?
- How does the gospel help us respond to difficulties while at the same time giving us meaning, purpose and identity?
Rather than a simplistic explanation of the Christian life, HOW PEOPLE CHANGE is a celebration of the Lord and his daily provision of grace. The authors tenderly invite readers to rejoice in a grace that not only forgives, but also truly and forever changes us from the deepest, darkest corners of our hearts to the smallest action and every idle word.

Feb 14, 2014 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
Each of the Skaneateles indoor track and field teams would emerge from the Onondaga High School League Division 2 championship meets at SRC Arena with strong finishes.
For the girls Lakers, the meet ended up resembling the Section III Class B meet, in that it did quite well on Thursday night, finishing second with 83.5 points, but again found itself trailing Cazenovia, who earned the championship with 153.5 points.
Kaitlyn Neal still dominated the 3,000-meter run, putting up a time of 10 minutes, 29.70 seconds to pull away from Cazenovia's Jeanette Cudney (11:16.68) and the rest of the field. Then, in the 1,500-meter run, Madeline Adams won big in 5:01.79, with Cazenovia's Megan Henderson (5:18.25) far back in the second spot.
Skaneateles also prevailed in the 4×400 relay, where the quartet of Julia Willcox, Olivia Gage, Taylor Woodruff and Aubreah Lynn prevailed in a thriller with Cazenovia, hanging on at the end to finish in 4:20.79 to the other Lakers' 4:20.92.
Going two-for-two in relays, Skaneateles also won in the 4×200, where Gage and Woodruff, joined by Amanda Wetmore and Katelyn Ellison, got a time of 1:52.20, again with Cazenovia (1:54.27) claiming the second spot.
Alana Navaroli needed a throw of 31 feet 10 ½ inches to win the shot put, with no other competitor close as Tully's Ally Snyder (27'11") was second. Navaroli also gained fourth place in the triple jump with a top leap of of 27'6 ¼".
Keely Gregg cleared 7'6" to finish second to Cazenovia's Liz Pittman (8 feet) in the pole vault. Willcox, in 1:49.51, finished second to Cazenovia's Samantha Gates (1:47.35) in the 600-meter run. Wetmore gained third place in the 55-meter dash in 7.70 seconds, while Woodruff took third (14'5 ½") in the long jump and Lynn was fifth (4'4") in the high jump.
A night earlier, the boys Lakers rose all the way to third place in an 11-team field l, with 66 points, just behind runner-up Tully (69 points), though both of them would trail Jordan-Elbridge, whose 104 points produced a league title.
Skaneateles won two of the three relay races. First, in the 4×400, Connor Hill, Griffin Lawson, Cooper Watt and Patrick Biver finished in three minutes, 40.60 seconds, routing the field as Tully, in 3:54.51, was nearly 14 seconds behind in the second spot.
Of course, the 4×200 relay would be closer, but the Lakers still won it as Hill, Biver, Lawson and Cooper Watt teamed up for a time of 1:36.86, leaving Cazenovia (1:40.76), who finished second, nearly four seconds back.
Not content with his relay efforts, Hill also won on his own, in the 300-meter dash, as his time of 37.76 seconds beat Tully's Ross Kennedy (39.22 seconds) by 1.46 seconds. Biver finished fourth in 39.70 seconds.
Andrew Weiss earned a victory in the long jump, going 17 feet 9 ½ inches to hold off J-E's Tyler Jackson (17'6 ¾") as Lawson made his way to third place with a top leap of 17'6 ¼".
Sepp Martin, in the shot put, threw it 39 feet 4 inches, getting to second place behind CBA's Connor Agnew (44'6"), as Martin's teammate, Zach Schneider, had a fourth-place throw of 38'7 ¾". Watt made his way to fourth place in the 600-meter run in 1:32.05. Joe Capozza was eighth in the 1,000-meter run with a time of 3:17.53.
Many of these top Skaneateles athletes head back to SRC Arena next Wednesday night for the Section III state qualifier, looking for spots in the March 1 state meet at Cornell University's Barton Hall.

text: Hey guys- me again, So about 4 months ago I took apart the trigger on my 10/22 and stoned and polished my sear and hammer to drop the trigger from 8lbs to 2.5 approximately. Here is the issue, the trigger after a box of rounds failed to reset and couldn't be pushed forward either. Racking the bolt back I could fire the gun one round at a time, I did this until, to my dismay, the gun went full auto. Anybody that is having these slam fire issues, I have the fix. I took apart my trigger housing, flipped the trigger reset spring and gave it a little stretch (2 coils) and then I thought the sear and hammer may be too smooth so I took a Sharp screw driver and gave a slight indent to both parts. It increased the pull by .36 ounces. However now it has zero issues. Cleaned up and works great. No mote trigger or auto problems. Hope this helps anyone having similar issues. posted using Outdoor Hub Campfire

Mission Statement
Saint Raphael Academy is a diocesan, Catholic, college preparatory school founded in the tradition of Saint John Baptist de La Salle and rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Academy provides a comprehensive secondary education to young men and women from diverse backgrounds and prepares each student for a life dedicated to learning, leadership, and service.
Seal of the Academy
"Signum Fidei"—the Sign of Faith. These words come from Saint John Baptist de La Salle's instructions to the Brothers to see all with the eyes of faith. Faith, one of the three theological virtues, is considered one of the foundations of the Christian life.
The star is the symbol of faith. It is also reminiscent of the Mother of God, under the title "Our Lady of the Star." Mary, the Mother of God, is seen as bringing the Light of Life, Jesus, into the world.
The fleur-de-lis, emblazoned shield, and scallop shell are taken from the De La Salle Family coat of arms. The fleur-de-lis is the symbol of Saint Joseph, who is also one of the patrons of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. The scallop shell is the symbol of Saint John the Baptist, patron of St. LaSalle, who baptized Jesus in the Jordan River.
St. John Baptist de La Salle
Founder of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, Patron of Christian Teachers.
John Baptist de La Salle was born into a world very different from our own. He was the first son of wealthy parents living in France over 300 years ago. Born at Reims, John Baptist de La Salle received the tonsure at age eleven and was named Canon of the Reims Cathedral at sixteen. Though he had to assume the administration of family affairs after his parents died, he completed his theological studies and was ordained a priest on April 9, 1678.Two years later he received a doctorate in theology. Meanwhile he became tentatively involved with a group of rough and barely literate young men in order to establish schools for poor boys.
At that time a few people lived in luxury, but most of the people were extremely poor: peasants in the country, and slum dwellers in the towns. Only, a few could send their children to school; most children had little hope for the future. Moved by the plight of the poor who seemed so "far from salvation" either in this world or the next, he determined to put his own talents and advanced education at the service of the children "often left to themselves and badly brought up." To be more effective, he abandoned his family home, moved in with the teachers, renounced his position as Canon and his wealth, and so formed the community that became known as the Brothers of the Christian Schools.
His enterprise met opposition from the ecclesiastical authorities who resisted the creation of a new form of religious life, a community of consecrated laymen to conduct gratuitous schools "together and by association." The educational establishment resented his innovative methods and his insistence on gratuity for all, regardless of whether they could afford to pay. Nevertheless De La Salle and his Brothers succeeded in creating a network of quality schools throughout France that featured instruction in the vernacular, students grouped according to ability and achievement, integration of religious instruction with secular subjects, well-prepared teachers with a sense of vocation and mission, and the involvement of parents. In addition, De La Salle pioneered in programs for training lay teachers, Sunday courses for working young men, and one of the first institutions in France for the care of delinquents. Worn out by austerities and exhausting labours, he died at Saint Yon near Rouen early in 1719 on Good Friday, only weeks before his sixty-eighth birthday.
John Baptist de La Salle was a pioneer in founding training colleges for teachers, reform schools for delinquents, technical schools, and secondary schools for modern languages, arts, and sciences. His work quickly spread through France and, after his death, continued to spread across the globe. In 1900 John Baptist de La Salle was declared a Saint. In 1950, because of his life and inspirational writings, he was made Patron Saint of all those who work in the field of education. John Baptist de La Salle inspired others how to teach and care for young people, how to meet failure and frailty with compassion, how to affirm, strengthen and heal. At the present time there are De La Salle schools in 80 different countries around the globe.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Posted on 10/20/2014
The cause of breast cancer has gained a lot of exposure and awareness in recent years, especially thanks to the National Football League. You may have noticed the touches of pink on NFL players' uniforms this month, as October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. According to Komen.org, "In 2012, breast cancer accounted for nearly 25% of all cancers." Here are a few tips from Komen.org to help you diagnose breast cancer or help someone going through the experience:
What is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is the result of malfunctioning cells and there is an increase in cell growth and not cell death. The balance between cell growth and cell death is crucial to organ systems. The result of this growth is a malignant tumor, meaning cancer.
Mammography Screening
Regular mammography screening is important in early detection. If there is a family history of breast cancer, screenings are recommended to start as early as in your twenties. Not all breast cancers are diagnosed through mammography, so self-evaluation is crucial. Visit Komen.org for the most common symptoms.
Social Support
If someone you love is diagnosed with breast cancer, it is important to provide social support through their wide range of emotions. Your loved one will experience shock, fear, sadness and anger. Time may ease these emotions, but your support will be crucial. Social support reduces anxiety, depression, fatigue and many other emotional symptoms of cancer.

|Reviews for I'm Writing This With My Left Hand
| Erestor Silvertongue chapter 1 . 9/17/2013
Absolutely BRILLIANT. Witty, meaningful and excellently worded. Have favourited.
| Fortune Zyne chapter 1 . 3/16/2012
Well done!
| To-AntigoneEvenstar chapter 1 . 9/30/2010
Imaginative and awesome. I absolutely love it.
| Emily chapter 1 . 1/7/2010
Interesting and very good. Depressing and dark, but with a touch of humor none the less. Makes you think better of Maedhros.
| Raging Pineapples chapter 1 . 7/29/2009
Something about this poem is captivating. Very short and sweet-I like it )
| Greensleeves the Great chapter 1 . 9/2/2008
This is...not beautiful, exactly, but very haunting, and it makes you want to read it again. I wonder if some part of Maedhros knew what was going to happen?
This is a totally irreverent question that breaks the poem's spell, but what was he writing with?
| Melannen Halfelven chapter 1 . 4/22/2006
I like!
| Tindomiel chapter 1 . 4/2/2006
Enigmatic, witty, curious, strangely provoking, and I'm running out of descriptions! Apart from the ingenius idea of Maedhros's occupations on thangorodrim, this is a very clever piece of poetry.
| Mislef chapter 1 . 12/14/2005
Ooh, I like this poem. I don't know much about the fandom, but something about it... I really liked it.
| Avalon Estel chapter 1 . 11/18/2005
Wow! This was so simple, without any sign of flourish, and yet it speaks with Maedhros' voice as clear as anything I've read. I regard you as a master, Vana.
| Mariette chapter 1 . 11/6/2005
Usually, I am not fond of poetry, especially fan poetry.
Let it be known I have found an exception.
I really, really like this poem. It's simplicity gives it the complexity. What is not said is nearly as important as what is said, and what is said is doen so eloquently. Of course, I love the mere idea of it - what would one say when chained to a mountain by their hand?
I don't think I can gush anymore without merely babbling coherently, so I'll just say that I love this poem, and leave it at that.
| RavenLady chapter 1 . 11/3/2005
It's hard to choose, but I think this is my favorite of your poems. This has to be one of the most tangible Tolkien-inspired poems I've seen. The agony of the situation is all between the lines, not at all exaggerated, and the result is brutal and real and just. Ouch. *recovers* *adores*
| Halfwest chapter 1 . 11/3/2005
As short and simple as this piece is, I would say without hesitation that it is one of the more poignant poems I have ever read in Tolkien fandom. Beautiful.
| phantasmagorienne chapter 1 . 10/17/2005
I've been going through your writings (and plan to leave a slew of comments over time), but I keep coming back to this one. I don't know what exactly it is that attracts me so deeply. I love the complicated simplicity of it; the way it seems to teem with tangled thoughts and emotions beneath its calm words. It sounds as if Maedhros is attempting to make sense of his situation, make it seem more accessable and simple; to steady his thoughts before they get out of control. Beautifully done (and I love you for the semicolons, just because I am a semicolon fangirl).
| Unsung Heroine chapter 1 . 9/7/2005
Whoa. *desperate lack of words*
I'm rather speechless right now. I'd never have the guts to write something like that, I guess (and I'd need far too many words to utter what you did in so few, hehe). It may sound strange, but this seems to affect the reader most not for what is said but for what is left unsaid. Does that make sense right now? I'm sometimes so clumsy with words it is a miracle in itself that I manage to write my stories... ;-) I really liked this.
