Despite an abbreviated week due to the Fourth of July holiday, last week was important to those hoping to win the Republican gubernatorial nomination. While the issue of gay marriage will continue to be a major issue in next year's elections, the state budget is most likely to be the number one issue on the minds of the voters when they enter the ballot box next November.
Governor Culver's budget took center stage again last week when the fiscal year 2009 budget came to a close on June 30th. The Legislative Services Agency, a non-partisan government agency that provides reporting and analysis of state revenue information, reported that the FY 2009 budget ended with a $161 million deficit. Governor Culver chose to dismiss LSA's report, even though the House, Senate, and Governor's office have agreed for the last few decades to abide by the numbers provided by the agency.
A number of Iowa Republicans were quick to echo the LSA's findings, however, out of the potential candidates for governor, Chris Rants was able to rise above the rest. Rants hit his stride last week, and in doing so, he was able to display the positive attributes that he brings to his gubernatorial campaign.
Long before the 2009 fiscal year came to a close, Rants had been sounding the warning that Governor Culver's budget would not balance. He also indicated that, unless Iowa's economy picked up substantially in June, the Governor wouldn't have the necessary funds at his disposal to cover the gap, meaning he would have to ask the legislature for more money. Rants was correct on both counts. However, instead of calling for an immediate special session, which Rants called on him to do, Governor Culver has opted to wait until the books officially close in September to make any modifications to the current state budget. Rants also identified a number of areas where the state could cut in order to save money during the legislative session.
Rants was the only Republican who called on Culver to respond to the FY 2009 budget deficit by demanding a special legislative session. Republican leaders in the House and Senate, as well as Rants' opponents for the gubernatorial nomination, lashed out at Culver's budgeting practices, but none called on him to immediately act. Some of the gubernatorial candidates even failed to even weigh in on the issue all together.
Christian Fong, the AEGON employee who officially entered the race for the Republican nomination for governor this past Tuesday afternoon, failed to respond to the news about the FY 2009 budget the following day. Fong wasn't the only GOP hopeful to pass on weighing in on Culver's budget. State Representative Rod Roberts and State Senator Jerry Behn both opted not to issue a statement on the LSA's end-of-the-fiscal-year report.
Bob Vander Plaats was quick to send out a statement following the news of Governor Culver's budget deficit. Vander Plaats called on Culver to make a fiscal new year's resolution to control his out-of-control spending. The following day, Vander Plaats called on Culver to freeze state workers' pay and work with legislative Republicans who proposed more than $300 million in budget cuts during the legislative session. While Vander Plaats was quick to respond, he also got sidetracked when he called on South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford to step down after admitting an affair with a woman from Argentina. Vander Plaats' statement on Sanford in the midst of the debate on Culver's budget deficit was odd and not necessary for him to do.
On the other hand, Rants was able to stay on message and go after Culver and his budget mess without having to use a quick or funny line. Rants stuck to the facts and was rewarded by being featured on Jan Michelson's radio show on WHO and in newspaper articles across the state.
Rants was also able to pit Governor Culver against his Democrat predecessor Tom Vilsack. Rants pointed out that when faced with a budget similar situation in 2001, then-Governor Vilsack called the legislature back in session to correct the course the state was on. Rants also was critical of a Republican administration when he said that he was "worried that we are backsliding to those days in the late 80's when the governor and legislature fudged the numbers to look good for an election."
It is interesting that Rants is the only one to forward these sorts of criticisms. Former State Auditor Richard Johnson is the co-chair of the Vander Plaats campaign and was very outspoken over the budget games that Rants is speaking of, yet Vander Plaats has not yet voiced that type of criticism of Culver.
It was easy to see that Chris Rants was in his comfort zone last week, but it's inexcusable for any quasi-gubernatorial candidate to pass on making a statement regarding the state budget last week. Rants was on message. He called for a special session, he offered areas of the budget that should be cut, and most importantly, he pitted Governor Culver's actions against what Governor Vilsack did in 2001.
The attention Rants was able to garner last week should help him to continue and grow his campaign around the state. While Rants still has some major obstacles in his path to the nomination, it is clear his campaign is off and running.

It's time to clean up the bramble patch: in order to maintain healthy and productive blackberries and raspberries we need to prune out the old to make room for the new.
Most brambles are biennial which means they fruit on second-year growth. Blackberries are easy to deal with, just remove the arching canes that fruited this year and trim up and attach the new growth from this summer to your trellis; this new growth will bear next summer's fruit. Repeat the same thing next year.

The other day someone congratulated our features editor, Sarah Gatling, on her promotion, which was nice, except she didn't get a promotion.
Sarah said if she got a promotion she'd like to be promoted to potentate -- that sounds like a cool thing to be, she said.
It reminded me of the hymn, "Crown Him With Many Crowns," in which Jesus is called "the potentate of time," and also reminded me that a few years ago, Sarah gave me a very old hymnal, copyrighted in 1924, called "Harvest Hymns."

I wonder, would you pay more if a font license allowed modifications for personal use and on behalf of clients?
Primary tabs
I think that the number of designers who would even want to, and are actually capable of doing so, is so low that any answer could not represent enough of a sample to be seriously considered when pricing fonts.
Like I said on Twitter, I think it's an interesting idea. You'd have sort of a consumer / extended license split. I'd ideally like the modification-friendliness to be an add-on that can be bought after purchase as well (since when one licenses a font one wouldn't necessarily already know if mods might be needed). This might make «normal» customers feel good for not paying for rights they don't need, and make «extended» clients happy too because paying an additional fee and modding oneself (provided one is capable of doing so) might seem more interesting than commissioning changes directly from the foundry (so the latter would of course lose some of the revenue from commissioned modifications, which would likely be much more expensive...).
It would indeed be nice if buying a font would be like
buying a new car, where you have a list of options that
add to the price, like a moonroof or heated seats. And
for the easily-overwhelmed shopper we could have
preset packages like cars have "Sport", etc.
So what's the list of options a font could come with?
Because you're not the user.
As a user of type, I would pay a modest sum for the right to modify. If the modification was to add more characters, improve the letterfit, etc, I would charge the extra modification fee back to my customers. I would of course first recommend to my customers that they not use such a font, but people get caught up in fashion.
To be clear: I wouldn't (usually) charge my customers for the needed work, only for having to pay the publisher more for the right to fix their font. If you find that too brutal, sorry. It would be different if the modifications anticipated were for, say, one-off logo use. But if the work is to fix the spacing, add extra characters, etc., it seems odd to have to pay for the right.
An interesting option would be that the right to do this kind of work was free, but the additions would have to be made available to the font publisher at no charge, so they could, if they chose, include them in future releases. That would make the end user think hard about the whole issue. I view my modified fonts as giving us a competitive advantage over other typesetters. To then give the font publisher the right to add my work to their fonts would (in my mind) lessen that advantage. It would make us end-users think about the issue with the shoe on the other foot.
It is an interesting question, Frode. I think the difference between the European and U.S. copyright laws points up the obvious on the question of allowing designers to modify fonts on behalf of their clients as well. In the States, you can copyright software, but not designs. So to be legal, you copy the font into the background layer of FontLab, then delete all the points on the front layer -- all you have is a gray mass that sort of represents the character(s). Then you autotrace. The result is legal, but also terrible. You will spend considerable time fixing the autotrace to get anything useful. Then make your modifications for the client. Being able to modify the font itself should cost less than your time is worth to do the the work of recreating the font. That way, everybody wins.
In Europe, I believe the copyright laws are different. But all that really means is you have to add a person who can draw, while looking at the characters. Then, all the etc. BTW, I believe some parts of the European copyright law are more reasonable than in the States -- It is a confusing situation.
Aside from the law, the point remains: if starting with the original font saves you time, then the font publisher is due some compensation for that savings.

I attended interesting classes today on soil and organic inputs to the garden.
The soil class included a chance to do a "shake test" of our soil structure.
I need to wait 24 hours for most of the clay to settle out before I will have the results
but it looks like our soil is a pretty nice loam -- yeah!
Soil ecology is fascinating to me. I hope to dig deeper into it, so to speak, in the weeks ahead.
The second session was taught by Naomi of Naomi's Organic Farm Supply.
It was an engaging looks at the various sources available for N-P-K and trace minerals.

Unanswered: Could not find stored procedure 'spc_AddInformation'.
After designing the database and completing the Java class to enter data into the database, I decided to take it home to work on the other pages for this application. (The data was transferring to the database with no problem at work). I restored the database and brought it home with me to setup it up on my pc at home. I setup the database at home and was able to load the driver and connect to the database but for some reason it can't find the stored procedure. The stored procedure is in the database but for some reason I keep getting this message -
SQL error.java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]Could not find stored procedure 'spc_AddInformation'.
I've worked all day to find the problem but no luck. Can somebody let me know what the problem could be? It's not the code in the Java class because Im connecting to the database and the stored procedure name is correct in the code. What could be the problem? Thank You.

This is a good product that infuses hair with keratin. After my first use I was somewhat impressed, flyaways were deminished and there was some added shine, other than that, its not worth the 28.00 I spent at walmart for it. I was hoping for more slip however I was dissappointed. Overall this product is slightly above meteocher. however I would not repurchace due to the price. Hopefully I can find it at target or perhaps online for a less expensive price.

Worth every penny. After a shower I lightly mist this all over my hair, and it dries to perfection. I don't have to do anything else to my hair, and it dries transformed--I was not expecting such amazing results considering how damaged my hair is.

Firstly: YOU SHOULD NOT USE THIS PRODUCT EVERY DAY! This is only to be used when hair is in desperate need for repair from either heat damage or chemical damage! Using this too often will dry your hair out more than it will help it!
Moving on, this stuff is absolutely wonderful for hair that is over processed! I'm in the process of going from dark brown to blonde, and so of course there is bleaching involved. I did a full head bleach today and as I was always experimenting with different color dyes and such, my hair had become quite over processed and the bleaching really took a toll. My hair was breaking off left and right and was left kind of a complete mess, so I ran to the drugstore to get another product, but unfortunately they didn't have it in stock. So, instead, I spotted this and had heard good things about it, so I picked it up instead. I purchased mine for full price at $17 at Shoppers Drug Mart. I wet my hair slightly, sprayed this all over, especially concentrating on the split, broken ends, and when it dried, WOW! I ran a brush through it gently (always brush very gently) and there was hardly any breakage, just some stray hairs like you would normally see. I have to say I was a bit skeptical about it as I know keratin and proteins can mess your hair right up, but I was beyond amazed at how drastically it affected my hair. (Note: I did use this in conjunction with Chi's Silk Infusion, which I swear by, so if you're suffering from dry hair and are looking for a good serum with heat protector, I would suggest checking it out.) The price is a bit up there, but since you hardly ever have to use it (seriously, only once in a blue moon) this bottle will last you FOREVER! So you're really getting great bang for your buck. Like other reviewers have mentioned, the packaging can be quite awkward if you have tiny hands, but it's still manageable and nothing that would deter me from using this product. Also, the smell is super yummy! Like a previous reviewer mentioned, it definitely smells like sexy man's cologne (like most of Chi's products I have found) Love it!

I swear I don't understand the way this works. I've used it directly from the spray on my hair and I didn't notice any results, plus with the continued use I started seeing no results (Yes, I now understand keratin cn't be used everyday, lol) Overall, in the past I didn't have any good experience with this.
But I found that spraying into my palms a decent amount, and then applying it on the surface of my hair made me get great results! It was silky soft and shiny! But It was also a tad greasy, probably I used too much (I sprayed on my palms 2-3 times) But I can't give a final judgement yet, I need to experiment more now that I found a way for it to work for me.
I love the scent.

AMAZING PRODUCT!!!! I use the Chi Infra shampoo with the Chi Nourish Intense Masque and then after my shower I spray in the Chi Keratin Mist. I love this line for when my hair is in need of strengthening (keratin.) This keeps my hair strong and prevents damage and breakage. Absolutely recommend this 100% for anyone who has weak, brittle hair in need of keratin. Keep in mind though - too much keratin will make your hair stiff and cause it to break.. So rotate moisturizing products into your routine. I like to rotate moisturizing shampoo's / conditioners into my routine but I use the Keratin Mist at least every other night. =) xo

Got this on 75% off clearance at Walgreens. Does using keratin on something dead like hair even do anything? I use this as a leave-in conditioner, and even though I didn't know you're supposed to use only occasionally, I do only use this on occasion. I always brush after to distribute the product evenly and detangle. Leaves my hair very soft after blow drying, but, nothing other brands of leave-in don't do. Definitely wouldn't pay full price for this item. The fat bottle is kind of hard to hold and spray if you have small hands, I use both hands to hold the bottle sometimes lol. It's a good product, but nothing I'm especially fanatical about. Maybe I will notice more results with continued use, which in that case, i will edit...

I'm in love with the CHI Keratin Mist, it's honestly such a simple product to achieve strong, healthier hair. As most of us know, keratin is a key ingredient that promotes stronger hair with more strength, therefore, it helps keep our hair strong to prevent from damage. A lot of people mistake this product for a heat protectant when it is really more of a light leave-in conditioner.
I don't currently use this anymore because I ran out of my last bottle quite some time ago, but i do remember this product doing wonders for my hair in terms of my hair's health. I straighten my hair every single day for school and almost every single weekend as well, and I swear, this product definitely has helped my hair stay very strong and combat that heat I was constantly giving it. I think the silk amino acids also helped reconstruct the damage I might of already had, too.
Overall, this product definitely is great because it's very lightweight and won't weigh the hair down. Also, it's very easy to use, I just sprayed it all over my damp hair before blowdrying, mind you, I also do add more products than just this one before drying my hair. This product smells good as well. For the cons, I'd say just the price and the packaging. It varies wherever you go, but on average, I'll see this selling for around $14 to $20. The packaging, because it is very wide and if you have small hands like I do, it can kind of be hard to hold the bottle without dropping it, but obviously that isn't a big deal.
I definitely recommend this product, though! It's hands down worth it if you ask me and it really will last you a while, too!

Great product! It is a protein treatment, yet very moisturizing. As all protein treatment is not to be overused. So probably one should use it after every wash for the first while and then lesser. But it leaves hair soft, very nice scented . It 's not cheap but you get really much product so it lasts a long time.

This product is great! First of all let me start out by saying I have had this for about three years and only touched it a few times, normally when I would use heat on my hair just for a little more protection/strength. I normally have pretty healthy hair and I never really noticed any different when I did use this product(only once in a blue moon) so I was never really impressed. Well recently I bleached my hair three times and my hair has been really in some need of some tlc. I saw the bottle sitting on the counter and decided to try it out on dead, dry hair. Especially the ends. Well I sprayed it on right after my shower and after my hair dried(I definitely sprayed too much because it has built up on my scalp and made my hair crispyish from the product not evenly distributed. and I know it is bad to put too much of any protein product on your hair but right now I am not concerned with that). I didnt mind the side effects that I brought upon myself because the next morning my hair is already on the path to success! My roots and mid-shaft is fine, and my ends are healing! I will continue to use this to help my hair regain its strength! Plus, when I bought it three years ago I found it on sale for $6! I will rebuy if I have to, but it is expensive at normal price and hopefully I wont need to!
Also, I have no complaints about the size of the bottle. Doesnt hurt my hand at all and I have tiny hands!

I wouldn't consider it a Holy Grail Product. It's okay. It definitely gives your hair some shine, but after a few times using it, it wasn't working that great anymore and I wouldn't use it all the time. Maybe every OTHER hair wash. It's a decent price considering on how much you get in the bottle. Found it at shoppers Drugmart in canada. I won't give up on this product, but I don't think I would buy it again.

Debunking the 'Love Just Happens' Mystery
I am a person raised by books. To say it inflicted tremendous positive effects in my overall growth as an individual is an understatement. Reading opens your mind and broadens your understanding of the world and people in general. However, you cannot base your whole worldview on books alone. We have something we call life to learn lots from.
One of those misconceptions of human emotions I got from books and films is that 'Love just happens naturally'. That love is a mysterious force that drives two people together. That some sort of inevitable 'hand of fate' is at play. That resisting love is futile and hopeless. That you are destined to fall in love with someone and there's nothing you can do about it.
From the beginning, even before I experienced falling in love, love presents an interesting concept for me. What drives us to love someone? Is love just a concoction of pheromones and brain chemicals and we are completely under control of its effect in our body? More importantly, can we control who we are going to fall in love with?
An article from the New York Times piqued my interest one boring afternoon. It is: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/11/fashion/modern-love-to-fall-in-love-with-anyone-do-this.html?_r=0. It is a clinical approach of falling in love with someone and teaching your body, brain chemicals, etc. to feel something for a person. It then concludes that: Love didn't happen to us. We're in love because we each made the choice to be.
The article may be a subject for more open-ended arguments, case-to-case situations of people falling in love without the brain knowing about it, or reminding that this doesn't speak out for everyone. Well, it did to me. I've been haggling myself why I can't establish a romantic relationship with anyone, and why the mysterious force hasn't been at work in my life.
Don't get me wrong, I've fallen in love quite a few times in my life. Some are unrequited, some are promising but have to be cut off for plenty of myriad reasons, some have no chance of working out at all. And all those experiences, I thought I've never been truly in love. Because in books, it's either the hero or the heroine loses his/her mind over a love interest and that, it doesn't make sense. I've never lost my mind over someone. In fact, I knew exactly why I like him. I made the choice and decision to be more than just friends, not because I couldn't help it.
To look at love in a clinical point of view can be boring. I mean, where's that mysterious force that binds us together for all eternity? Well, it set the record straight. We can be in control of our emotions. There is a big chance we can fall in love with someone if we willed it. If we get our hearts broken, we all have the guts to move on and look for someone more worthy of our affections. I guess what they say is true. The more you mature in love, the less exciting it gets. But hey, it all depends on perspective. It's your choice what to believe and what to live. 'Love happens' or 'you let love happen', it's a matter of enjoying love as it is.
It raises one point though. If we fall in love by choice, we also fall out of love by choice. It eventually completes a perfect circle.

In Interracial Intimacies, Randall Kennedy hits a nerve at the center of American society: race relations and our most intimate ties to each other. Writing with the same piercing intelligence he brought to his national bestseller Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word, Kennedy here challenges us to examine how prejudices and biases still fuel fears and inform our sexual, marital, and family choices.
Analyzing the tremendous changes in the history of America's racial dynamics, Kennedy takes us from the injustices of the slave era up to present-day battles over race matching adoption policies, which seek to pair children with adults of the same race. He tackles such subjects as the presence of sex in racial politics, the historic role of legal institutions in policing racial boundaries, and the real and imagined pleasures that have attended interracial intimacy. A bracing, much-needed look at the way we have lived in the past, Interracial Intimacies is also a hopeful book, offering a potent vision of our future as a multiracial democracy.
Kennedy, a Harvard Law School professor, relies heavily on case law but uses journalism, letters, novels, films, folklore and even personal ads — "SWM seeks SBF" — to draw a fascinatingly detailed portrait of a nation that remains conflicted and enthralled by crossings of the color line. His chapters on race mixing and children, particularly a long discussion of "passing," take us into a surreal and heartbreaking world where, because of race, children have denied their parents, parents have denied their children and the heavy hand of governmental authority still uses color to decide who can be a family. — Kate Manning

Fish rescued from leaf-blocked Caversham brook
Hundreds of fish have been rescued from a brook in Berkshire after it became blocked by leaves and debris.
The Environment Agency (EA) said about 400 fish, including roach and chub, had been affected by the "dam" which "built up over time" near Caversham Lock.
The fish are now being transferred to the main body of the River Thames, the EA said.
It added that the work, which started earlier, was on-going and said it expected more fish would need moving.

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
11:03 03 October 2013
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is proposing new rules that payday lenders must adhere to in order to protect consumers.
One of the proposals includes putting risk warnings on payday loan ads to advise borrowers about the dangers of debt.
The FCA also proposes the following: Lenders will not be able to roll over or extend loans more than twice, payday lenders may attempt to take out money out of the borrower's account just twice, lenders will inform anyone extending a loan about free debt service, and that FCA could order lenders to change misleading adverts.
Martin Wheatley, the FCA's chief executive, said: "Our aim is to create a regime that protects consumers and allows businesses to operate.
"There is a balance to be struck here, and to make sure we get it right we want to hear from as many interested parties as possible.
"We believe that payday lending has a place; many people make use of these loans and pay off their debt without a hitch, so we don't want to stop that happening. But this type of credit must only be offered to those that can afford it and payday lenders must not be allowed to drain money from a borrower's account."

Most of us watch porn when we are alone or when we are bored. Why do we hide and do this and act innocent when somebody talks about it boldly? Hmm...well, we do not have an answer for that, but what we do have in store are porn facts!
In this article, we have listed certain porn facts that'll totally blow your mind. Read all about it, here!
These are the facts that we generally do not get to know about, as discussing about porn is a taboo in this big, secretive world!
From what goes behind the scenes to the untold facts, we're here to share them all with you. These are some of the things that you should know about porn.
So, check them all out in this article as mentioned below...
Most Searched Word...
Do you know that "MILF" is the most frequently searched porn term on the Internet? Well, it is! When it comes to an Indian's search in porn, we'd prefer using the "Indian" category.
Men Focus On Face & Not Body
Who said men look at a woman's body while making love? They in fact love to focus on the facial expression of a woman. If you have been under the assumption that men love to see other parts, then you are wrong, my friend.
Biggest Porn Company
Most of us assume America to have the biggest porn industry, but that is not the fact, as Canada has the biggest porn industry!
How Many People Watch Porn Every Day?
At any given second of the day, there are at least 30 million people around the world who are watching porn! Woah, now that is a huge number!!
Content Is Sourced
Most of the big porn sites source their content from other parties. This helps the business grow well. This is how you get to see the same content even on a banned site!

Philip Rutnam, the most senior civil servant at the Department for Transport, made the admission as Patrick McLoughlin, the new Transport Secretary, stressed his "determination" to press ahead with the FirstGroup bid.
In his first public comments on the West Coast row, Mr McLoughlin told the Transport Select Committee he was "satisfied" the appropriate due diligence had been performed by the DfT before it awarded the prestigious franchise to FirstGroup.
Virgin Rail is seeking a judicial review of the decision amid claims the DfT "broke its own rules" when it handed the lucrative contract to FirstGroup.
Virgin believes its rival should have been forced to put up £600m in risk capital as a kind of insurance instead of the near £200m agreed by the DfT.
Under Virgin's bid, only £40m of risk capital would have been required.
When Mr Rutnam was asked by Conservative MP Kwasi Kwarteng if the risks associated with FirstGroup's bid were greater than for Virgin, given the difference in risk capital required, the civil servant replied: "Obviously the reason for asking for a larger subordinated loan facility is to reduce the risk to the taxpayer."
But he added: "If you look at it [FirstGroup's bid] in the round we are very clear that the judgment we made was in the interest of taxpayers as well as passengers."
When the DfT assessed FirstGroup's offer on value for money, it won by a "significant margin", Mr Rutnam added.
Mr McLoughlin said he had no intention to pause the West Coast process unless he was required to do so by the law.
Sir Richard has offered to run the West Coast services between London and Scotland for free if the judicial review delays the handover of the franchise on December 9.
However, the Transport Secretary hinted he would rather re-nationalise the line temporarily.
"There are powers that are available to me…to ensure that the West Coast Main Line is maintained and run after the 9th December," Mr McLoughlin said.
On Monday, Virgin admitted it had hoped to extract a 7pc profit margin from the new West Coast franchise compared with FirstGroup's 5pc profit expectation.

I stayed up late last night getting ready for a small New Year's party at Matt's flat in Albany!
which was used on top of my homemade taco dip!
a party favorite of piglets in blankies and some home baked herb feta cheese!
After cooking I came up with the idea of applying my newly found skill of paper hat making. So I decided to make pirate paper hats for the party tonight!
hat making: in progress.
"Hello, 2009! You're looking fine..."
I had a little supervisor with all my crafts.
One of my chubby kitties, Ryo-okki.
I hope tonight goes swell as everyone celebrates the new year! I enjoy little parties and getting ready for them, so I'm excited!

The state of Michigan has a deep talent pool in the class of 2012, and several Great Lakes State prospects have a chance to add significantly to their offer lists after summer camps.
Madison Heights (Mich.) Madison wide receiver Danny Larkins has received five MAC offers and has seen the interest from BCS schools pick up this spring as well. He picked up his two most recent offers in the last week.
"I went to Toledo for an unofficial visit Saturday," Larkins said. "It went great and they offered me. He said I could play receiver and special teams. He wanted me to commit right then and there."
Article Continues Below
"Last night, Buffalo called my head coach and my head coach told me today that they offered. I'm about to do some research on them on the Internet."
The other three schools to offer Larkins are Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan and Western Michigan, but he has seen an uptick in the interest from Big Ten schools as well. Several have been through his high school in the last month.
"I talked to Iowa for a minute and I called the Purdue coach because I wasn't in school that day. The Michigan State coach also came up," Larkins said. "Nebraska and Wisconsin are sending me a lot of mail."
Larkins knows for sure he will camp at Iowa this summer, and Michigan State will likely receive a camp visit as well. He is very familiar with the Spartans because they are an in-state school, and he has communicated with their coaching staff in recent days.
"They just told me to keep on working out and don't worry about anything," Larkins said. "They want me to keep on coming up to their school."
Larkins has been juggling his recruitment with his high school track season. He reported personal bests of 10.7 in the 100 meters and 21-feet in the long jump this spring.
Last fall, Larkins struggled with ankle problems throughout the season that limited him to just six games played, but he still managed 36 catches for 813 yards and six touchdowns in those six games. He also recorded an interception on defense and has the ability to play that side of the ball in college as well.
"[Colleges] are asking me what I really want to play and that it's my choice," Larkins said. "It's going to be a hard decision. We'll see how my senior year goes whether I go offense or defense."

Health anxiety, or 'hypochondria' as it is commonly known, is something I suffered with for years in my late teens and early adult life. Fortunately, I have now moved through this, and in the past 18 months, have entered a phase of deep, inner healing.
I am interested to hear the stories and experiences of other people that have suffered, or are still suffering with this life challenge. Please post away!... I'm sure whatever you share will benefit others greatly!
It's been said a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. But a lot of knowledge might kill you. I've always been interested to learn anything I can about how the body works and what it might need. I went through a phase where I thought every pain was possibly something I'd learned about. Then I realized I'm doing everything right so there can't really be much wrong with me. Power of positive thinking.

TONY EASTLEY: The Northern Territory Chief Minister Adam Giles has launched a scathing attack on the critics of his Government's controversial plan to force alcoholics into rehabilitation.
He's accused his critics of feeding off Aboriginal disadvantage and has told them to butt out.
The Government's alcohol policies have been criticised by members of the AMA (Australian Medical Association), the Northern Territory Police Association and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner Mick Gooda.
Sara Everingham reports from Darwin.
SARA EVERINGHAM: In the face of criticism, the Northern Territory Chief Minister Adam Giles has defended his Government's plan to force alcoholics into rehabilitation for up to three months.
Over the weekend, at a meeting of his Country Liberals party, he had a message for the critics of his Government's chief alcohol policy.
ADAM GILES: Let's say out there to all those, what I would categorise as leftie welfare orientated people, who rely on the misery and the poverty to sustain their own personal economy - get out of the way, piss off.
SARA EVERINGHAM: The Territory opposition's, Delia Lawrie, says the comments show the Territory Government is feeling the pressure.
DELIA LAWRIE: Doctors and rehab providers and police aren't lefties; they are experts telling the CLP (Country Liberal Party) that their laws won't work.
SARA EVERINGHAM: Critics of the Government's plan include health and legal groups such as the Australian Medical Association of the Northern Territory.
They say the scheme criminalises a health problem and that there's no evidence mandatory rehabilitation will work.
The Chief Minister makes no apologies for rolling out an untested scheme. Adam Giles describes it as a revolutionary approach.
ADAM GILES: This is about the rights of the children, about the rights of the women, and the men, who suffer the consequences of chronic alcoholics.
SARA EVERINGHAM: But, the NPY (Ngaanyatjarra, Pitjantjatjara and Yankukytjatjara) Women's Council, which represents Aboriginal women in central Australia, is not backing away from its criticism of the program.
The Council's Andrea Mason.
ANDREA MASON: I think it's quite compelling that the experts in the field, both in the health and justice systems, are saying that it's something of extreme concern, the legislation, and it's not going to get the result I guess that people are looking for in terms of having a wide-reach of success.
SARA EVERINGHAM: Under the Government's plan, people picked up by police for being drunk three times in two months will be assessed for mandatory rehabilitation.
There'll be criminal sanctions for people who repeatedly abscond from the treatment.
Priscilla Collins, from the North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency says the millions of dollars being allocated to the scheme could be better spent.
PRISCILLA COLLINS: If you want to go in and put legislation in place to improve a situation, you need to have evidence to support this. Under the new alcohol mandatory treatment legislation, there is no evidence to support it, and that's our huge concern is that you're going to be forcing people into a rehab, there's no evidence to support it, and at the end of the day, these people haven't committed a criminal offence.
SARA EVERINGHAM: The Northern Territory's alcohol policies have become another source of tension between the federal and Territory governments.
The Federal Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Jenny Macklin, says she's concerned that the Northern Territory Government is still failing to develop a comprehensive plan to tackle alcohol abuse and protect vulnerable people.
The Northern Territory Government is planning to begin the roll-out of its new alcohol policy next week.

When Is It Okay to Hug?
Sometimes people want to hug other people. There is not necessarily anything wrong with this, but in general there is too much hugging in today's society, and people should really lower their expectations of when and where they are entitled to hugs. I personally do not love to hug but society makes me.

Taking down the holiday decor today.
I was going to wait and do this in February.
But then something about these 50 degree days makes me ready for Spring.
So I am hauling all my greenery and snowmen to the basement today.
I know we all do this.
But why does it take making every room in your house a mess to redo one room?
I have things strung everywhere.
It's normal.
I am really into collections this week.
So this is {just part} of my galvanized collection.
I love the patina and vintage charm.
Little things I have collected {horded} over the years.
This is pretty simplified for me!
I may add some ivy between the watering cans.
Do you see Scoob?
I didn't even realize he was in the shot till after I had edited them!
He's chillin on the couch.

He's chillin on the couch.
The little sideboard is part of a hutch.
I took the top off and repainted it a while back.

I really love the smudgy green-brown look.
The wall shelf a friend made for us right after we built the house.
It was one of my first additions to the kitchen.
I am in love with this color.
I think I have green in every room.
That and reds.
Simple little garden angel and goose.
She was another gift from a friend.
My house is beginning to look like my garden...{again}
That is a good thing in my book.
So long snowmen... will not look for you again too soon.
Now march yourselves down to the basement.
Don't I wish!
Like to see more of my photography, garden and home?

Authorities in Bangladesh have lifted a nighttime curfew imposed in Dhaka and five other cities following last week's violent student protests.
The country's military-backed interim government announced the curfew last Wednesday following on-campus fighting in Dhaka between police and university students who were demanding an end to emergency rule.
The violence left one person dead and at least 150 others injured.
Soldiers had been stationed at the university since January, when officials canceled elections in response to violent political protests of alleged vote rigging. The interim government imposed a state of emergency and banned all political activities and demonstrations.

Item description for Say Goodbye to Stubborn Sin: A Surgeon Explains the Physiological Factors That Trigger It by Clark Gerhart & Jefferson Scott...Overview
A surgeon explains the physiological factors that trigger sin. Chapters include "Drives: fleshly drivenness," "Homeostasis: defending your steady state," "Reflexes: conditioned responses," and "Senses: living just to stimulate your receptors."
Community Description
Victory over the flesh is within your grasp! You love the Lord-so why can't you gain lasting victory over that one recurring sin? You've prayed for help and tried everybody's 10-point plan, but you find yourself back on your knees, asking God to forgive you for doing the thing you said you'd never do again.
Are you going to live with this misery forever? No! says Christian physician Clark Gerhart. In this fascinating new perspective on our fallen human nature, Dr. Gerhart explains what lies behind strongholds and how sin uses the body's God-given systems to urge you to continue in these behaviors. He then shows how God's work of sanctification can lead you into victory and peace. No longer will you be a slave to the pressure that drives you to the old disobedience. No longer will the flesh keep you in wretched defeat. Once you are free of the sin that so easily entangles, you'll even be equipped to minister to those around you.
If you have ever longed to enjoy Christian freedom, this message will help you:
* Understand the surprising link between stubborn sin and your body's processes
* Discover the common root of every recurring sin and what to do about it
* Identify repeated patterns of behavior in your life as signs of control by the flesh
* Grasp how the flesh is behind current and biblical events
* Learn the simple process that brings God's cleansing power

How to Be Interesting (and Useful) to C-Level ExecutivesMore and more, there is an increasing demand that salespeople, account managers, and operations people developing the skills to engage with senior level executives in their client and dream client companies.
The level of value we create as a sales organization is limited by our ability—or inability—to have the necessary dialogue that allows us to create higher levels of value. It isn't easy to develop the skills necessary to engage in a strategic dialogue with C-level executives. But there are some things that you can do to make it a lot easier—and to enjoy much greater success when you do.
Know How You Create ValueC-Level executives are consistently short on one thing: time. They are protective of their time because they have so little of it when you compare it to the demands of their organization and its stakeholders or against the results that they need to produce. This means you have a very limited time get your C-Level executives attention. You are expected to know exactly how you create value for companies like theirs, and you are expected to have some understanding of what you can do for them—even before you speak with them. This isn't always about research; it's about knowing who you are, what you do, and how you make a difference. When you call on high-level executives, you don't have the same time to build rapport as you might if you were calling on someone lower in an organization. Someone lower in the organization may need more time for rapport building because you are going to work closely with them should they choose to move forward with you. You also don't have time to fish around for ideas that might indicate some dissatisfaction. That might work where and when you have time, but you don't have that luxury here. You have to know how and what you can do to make a difference. This is why I believe it is a mistake to believe that you should always enter an organization at the top (this is, of course, a generalization and all generalizations are lies) You must able to ask questions that demonstrate you know where the issues are, and that you know how to increase revenue, increase profitability, and reduce costs (all dissatisfaction ultimately rolls up into one of these categories). Know how you create value and get to the point.
Possess the Business Acumen to See Through Their EyesTo sell and engage an organization at this level, you have to possess the business acumen necessary to see the business through your c-level executive's eyes. You may not ever be the subject matter expert that your c-level executive is when it comes to their business, but you better be able to quickly comprehend the big moving pieces that you touch. You have to understand what drives their business so you can relate what you do to pull those levers. You don't have to have a perfect understanding, but you better know how they look at their business. There are lots of c-level executives that will be willing to give you an education (or the rest of an education), but you have to have a basic fundamental understanding of how business works so you can keep up; this means you need business acumen. Your c-level executive is interested in talking about business. You have to be able to keep up.
Prove You Will Own the OutcomeC-level executives work for all kinds of shareholders. They have their management team to serve. They have their employees to serve. They have clients to serve. They have a board of directors to serve. The last thing in the world that they need is another dependent. To get a c-level executive's attention and be useful to them, you have to prove that you are going to own the outcome. This is what they want from you, and this is what they are willing to pay you for doing. To be interesting and useful to a c-level executive, you are going to have to demonstrate that you are going to own the outcome that you sell. They aren't hiring a salesperson to work for them; they are hiring a manager that will own the result and do what is necessary to ensure that it is achieved. Explain that you are going to own the outcome, and that you will be there to see the objective achieved.
Own the Next StepsWhat you want from a c-level executive is permission to proceed. You own the next step. All you need from them is their blessing to move forward. If they have to do work for you to move forward, it isn't going to get done and they won't need you. Instead, you are going to end up with unanswered voicemails, unanswered emails, and a serious sense of disappointment. If you need information, ask your c-level executive whom you should work with to get it. Then you go get the information. If you need access to people, ask the c-level executive to forward an email that you write and send to the parties you need to engage with. You aren't interesting and useful as a dependent. You are useful and interesting as someone who is going to get things done while they move on to other priorities. You have to take initiative. You do the work. You own the next step.

The Write Direction: A New Teacher's Practical Guide to Teaching Writing
and Its Application to the Workplace, 1e
Fred S. Wolff - Lynna Garber Kalna
Connect classroom writing instruction to the world we live in.
The Write Direction is an innovative and lively guide for new and prospective teachers on how to teach writing and build those important connections between classroom writing and writing for the corporate world. Based on the authors' belief that students need to explore and practice writing assignments that better prepare them for the working world, this book empowers teachers with a basic foundation to teach writing successfully and includes specific activities and strategies for improving their writing instruction. The result is a unique resource that examines the importance of teacher as writer, classroom environment, writing process, and six traits of writing; and how teachers can effectively implement these concepts to develop competent and confident writers for life.
What educators are saying about The Write Direction
"I would whole-heartedly recommend this book. I think that it is especially useful to beginning teachers because it incorporates into one place the wealth of expertise and experience a teacher needs to be effective. It takes lots of reading, years of experience and loads of training to attain the levels of these authors' understanding." Coby Troidl, North Collins CSD, North Collins,NY
"I don't know of another book that addresses [these] same issues. [The Write Direction] gives teachers a lot to think about in terms of teaching the principles and practice of good writing without being prescriptive. Good writing in school leads to better learning and higher grades therefore more opportunity. This is a message that all teachers need to get." Clare Oderman, Cedar Park Middle School, Portland, OR
Fred Wolff worked in public schools for 24 years, 19 years as a classroom teacher. For the past eight years he has helped teachers across the U.S. and in numerous international schools improve student writing. Wolff is a recipient of the Distinguished Teacher Award from the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars and of a Fulbright Program scholarship to study in Japan. He most recently wrote and co-produced an hour-long documentary about Holocaust survivors in his home state of New Hampshire.
Lynna Garber Kalna has a unique balance of 30 years' experience in the academic and corporate worlds, including teaching in the K-12 public school system and at a private college, as well as working as an educational consultant, freelance magazine writer, and corporate trainer. Kalna, who has received numerous awards including Professor of Merit and Professor of Distinction, serves as a keynote speaker for various organizations.

I love so many kinds all for different reasons. Magnolias, because they are so big and beautiful and have an amazing scent that reminds me of something good when I was little. Azaleas, because they are so delicate and I love the one petal with the spots. Orchids, because they are so perfect and detailed as if they aren't even real. Lantana, because they bring such gorgeous butterflies. Clovers, because my girls and I still like to sit and make clover jewelry and wear it like we are wearing the finest jewelry money can buy.
I guess my favorite would have to be the morning glory. Such a vibrant color with perfect petals and that striking color contrast. The morning glory is so beautiful in the sunrise, still wet with dew. Ah, how I love them.

STAGE 1 intro to acting
"I've been with ACS for just over two years, taking both private 1-2-1 tuition and group classes. I joined with no prior acting experience, and wasn't sure what to expect.
