Judo is a Japanese combat method that was created in 1882 by Professor Jigoro Kano. It was derived from several Jujutsu styles, including Kito-Ryu and Tenjin-Shinyo Ryu. Its founder wanted to implement basic principles of maximum efficiency with minimum effort, as well as some principles of modern sports into Judo. The Japanese government recognized Judo in 1886 and its first school, the Kodokan Judo Institute, is still the highest authority for this system. Judo was intended to be a non-violent fighting style that also shapes the character of the practitioner.
History / Origins
The word Judo is said to originate from 1889. It comprises of two characters, "ju" meaning "softness, gentleness" and "do" meaning "way or art". Both of these components originate from the Chinese language. The name of Judo is usually translated as "the gentle way" and it represents the idea of a non-violent martial art.
Judo originates from the elaborate Jujutsu technique. Founding of the Takenouchi-ryu art system in 1532 is considered as the beginning of Jujutsu forms. Jujutsu was widely practiced and popular, but its glory began to fade after the Meiji Restoration in 1868, when the era of samurai rule came to an end. The art fell into decline with the infiltration of Western Culture.(1) However, Jigoro Kano, who practiced several forms of Jujutsu, saw that many masters had to pursue alternative careers in order to keep their schools alive. He then came to an idea of creating a new martial arts style from ancient self-defence forms. In 1882 he created an art that is known as Kodokan Judo. Although he was just 21 years old at the time, he founded the school and dojo at a Buddhist temple and started teaching students.
He chose to include all the strong points of different Jujutsu schools. At that time, numerous Jujutsu students were known as aggressive and thuggish and had the reputation of "bad boys." Kano decided to compile the most effective points of this technique, but chose to exclude aggressive practices. He also emphasised the formation of one's character.(2) He then proceeded to visit Europe in 1889 to spread his knowledge. The sport was introduced into the Olympics in 1964 and since then has been practiced by millions of people throughout the world.(3)
Judo has become one of the most popular martial arts in the world. Numerous practitioners study it in Japan and overseas. It is taught as a form of self-defence, a fighting technique and as a sports discipline. Almost every sports centre has a Judo school that teaches practitioners of all ages. The Kodokan Judo Institute currently resides in Bunkyo, Tokyo, Japan and has over 1,000 Tatami mats. It still remains one of the most notable schools of this martial art. Numerous international groups organize a wide range of Judo events every year. Apart from the Olympics, Judo is practiced in numerous events, including events organized by the International Judo Federation. The sport can also be spotted being used in MMA competitions, including the Ultimate Fighting Championship and it has gained huge popularity.
Judo gained popularity in Japan after an 1886 contest held by the Tokyo police. At the event, a Judo team defeated the most famous Jujutsu school of the time. Shortly after, the technique was implemented into the Japanese physical education system..(4)
There is an anecdote regarding Kano's trip to Europe in 1889. On the boat, a foreigner made fun of him. Kano then proceeded to throw him down, but put his hand under the man's head in order to save him from getting hurt. On this occasion he also showed Judo's principle of consideration toward the opponent.(5)

Rachel Vincent Quotes About FeelingsQuotes about: Feelings
My pulse whooshed in my ears so fast I could barely hear myself speak. "I only have—" "Two days." He squeezed my hand. "So what? You can spend them feeling sorry for yourself, or you can let me help make them the best two days of your life, and my afterlife. So what's it gonna be?" I stared into his eyes, like I'd never seen him before. And I hadn't—not like this. But he'd obviously seen me, better than anyone else ever had. "Well?" Tod watched me, his hand still warm in mine. In answer, I leaned forward and kissed him again.
Alec licked his spoon, then set it on the table and popped his drink open. "Okay, I may be breaking some kind of girl bonding rule or something, but can I offer you a guy's perspective on this?" I frowned, my spoon halfway to my mouth. "Is this gonna make me want to hit you?" He shrugged. "Maybe. But it's the truth. Here goes: kissing back is an instinct. Unless the girl smells like a sewer or has tentacles feeling you up independently, a guy's first instinct is to kiss back. That's how it works. What's important is how long that kissing back lasted. So...how long?
Even before the withdrawal sets in, you'll do anything to get that feeling back, because as long as it lasts, nothing's wrong. It doesn't matter if you forget something, or lose something. Or if you fail someone. Nothing's wrong and everything feels good, and you never want it to end.

1. Re: BAM: first steps. Reportsuser100012345 Apr 18, 2013 9:00 AM (in response to 1002504)when you say server1 ,server2 and server do you mean they are in cluster?
Are they soa server?
you can use BAM adapter or sensor to create BAM reports.
BAM report basically takes the data from database and displays it in a graphical format.
so if you able to retrieve the mentioned item in a table you can create a report for all of them.
Adapter and sensor are created on design time using jdevleoper gui.
2. Re: BAM: first steps. Reports1002504 Apr 23, 2013 7:22 AM (in response to user100012345)yes, servers are in cluster and there are servers not in.
what do you mean "they soa server"? this servers with web-services.
Could you please explain me how BAM takes data for reports. Does it take data from BAM-schemes? Does we need add the ability to our web-services that must provide data to BAM DB?
It very important fro us that we can with bam-adapter takes data from weblogic or we need add the ability in web-services to provide data in BAM.

Ancilla College first approached MKS in December of 2014 to discuss the protocol for adding a new residence hall and dining commons to their campus. At the time, Ancilla was a commuter-only college. Building a residence hall was deemed vital for continued growth and cementing their future. It wasn't until MKS invited Ancilla College to tour the Indiana Tech campus in January of 2015 that they decided MKS was the right partner for them. The partnership MKS has built over the years with Indiana Tech was evident as we toured the grounds. During the tour, our process came to life, the buildings illustrating the journey from conception to reality.
MKS began the formal planning process with Ancilla College at the end of January 2015 by holding weekly meetings and listening to those invested in the college to identify specific needs. MKS worked hand in hand with Ancilla and its sponsor, The Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ, to create an efficient and functional plan for the residence hall and dining commons, systematically determining space requirements and whittling down any unnecessary square footage.
The design stage moved rather quickly, since we were able to modify a similar residence hall design that MKS had built in previous years. MKS worked closely with Ancilla to create the most efficient building possible, all while maintaining their priorities. While MKS was finalizing the construction documents, MKS was busy orchestrating a plan/schedule that would allow for students to move into the residence hall by early August of the same year – not an easy feat! The decision was made to begin site work before drawings were complete; a bold decision to maintain the aggressive schedule.
With March came the completion of all site work. By that time, MKS had finalized the construction drawings. Construction commenced the beginning of April, and the last nail was hammered in time to turn over the keys to Ancilla at the beginning of August. Students were able to move into the new 96-bed facility, featuring private bathrooms, a fireplace and meeting spaces. The response from prospective students was so overwhelming the decision was made to house 3 students per room! This successful enrollment response reinforced the need for an additional residence hall. MKS and Ancilla continued their successful partnership by building a second residence hall on campus, which opened its doors in July of 2016.
A Summer Project
Construction took place from the beginning of April to the beginning of August.
Move-In Ready
Residence hall was ready for students to move in by the start of the school year.
Comforts of Home
96-bed facility featuring private bathrooms, a fireplace, and meeting spaces.
Enrollment Jump
Successful enrollment response led to the building of a second residence hall.

The Night Listener (2006)
directed by
Patrick Stettner
featuring Robin Williams, Toni Collette, Bobby Cannavale, Joe Morton, Sandra Oh, Rory Culkin
A man whose life has been touched by tragic illness is drawn into the life of another victim whose story has an unsettling twist in this drama. ... Show synopsis A man whose life has been touched by tragic illness is drawn into the life of another victim whose story has an unsettling twist in this drama. Gabriel Noone (Robin Williams) is a radio talk show host who has developed a loyal following for his deeply personal on-air monologues, many of which deal with his relationship with his companion Jess (Bobby Cannavale), who is HIV-positive and struggling with his health. When Jess' condition improves, he surprises Gabriel by announcing he needs his space and has decided to break up with him. Gabriel is shaken and feels creatively blocked until Ashe (Joe Morton), a friend in the publishing business, gives him an advance copy of a memoir by Pete Logand (Rory Culkin), a 14-year-old boy living with AIDS. Pete's book is a harrowing memoir of a childhood fraught with abuse of all sorts meted out at the hands of his parents, and Gabriel is deeply moved by his story. One night, Gabriel gets a phone call from Pete, who claims to be a big fan of his radio show, but the call is cut off by Donna (Toni Collette), Pete's stern and protective stepmother. While Gabriel admires Pete's book, he begins to question its veracity, and with the help of Anna (Sandra Oh) tries to research the facts behind the story. As he uncovers more loose ends, Gabriel begins to suspect that Pete isn't the true author of the work, and that Donna has created his terrible past in the name of literary celebrity. The Night Listener was adapted from the novel by Armistead Maupin. Mark Deming, Rovi

Sure the thought counts, but the gift itself matters, too. Some gifts present a clear and present danger when bestowed upon a spouse and should be avoided at all costs. Here are 10 gifts that could be hazardous to your marriage:
2. Sexy underwear (or anything else you're dying to see them in ). Nothing says "It's all about me" more than gifting something that makes you happier than the recipient.
3. Exercise equipment. This category includes gym memberships and healthy-eating cookbooks. Unless you are providing something they specifically requested, your well-intentioned gift may not be well-received!
4. Home improvements. Even if one spouse has been wanting a bigger bathroom or modernized cabinets, making the project "a gift" sets up the recipient to be responsible for any mishaps or frustrations that might be part of the process. (Just because it doesn't make a great gift, doesn't mean you can't still use the big home-improvement announcement to earn additional spousal-brownie-points!)
5. Gift card. Think about it – how different is that from just handing your spouse some cash and telling them to go buy their own gift? Well, there is one difference – you are now dictating exactly where they must buy their own gift from.
6. Anything on your own wish list. See #2, above.
7. Perfume or cologne they've never worn before. First of all, there may be a reason they've never worn it. Second, what it smells like on the paper tester isn't necessarily what it's going to smell like on someone's body. Unless indicated otherwise, assume your spouse wants some say about how they smell.
8. That item you have both been planning and saving for. Do NOT "surprise" your spouse by making the final decision on the vacation you have been debating for the last few months or picking the recliner that will sit for years to come in the living room. And examine the reasons you would even want to – is it intended to delight, or put an end to a discussion you are tired of having? If you immediately responded: "to delight, of course," you need to realize that might not be the same conclusion your spouse reaches.
9. Nothing. Even if that is what they ask for. Gift-giving is about putting yourself out there to do something kind for the one you love. "Nothing" does not serve that goal. Nor does it honor your mate. "Something" does not have to be expensive, extravagant, or even wrap-able. It just has to be a little more thoughtful than "nothing."
10. Anything that comes with payments. Yes, this is worse than nothing. It is the exact opposite of "the gift that keeps on giving." It is the gift that keeps depleting. No gift should come with a bill.
Looking for a great gift for your husband, your dad or that special father in your life? Skip the predictable shirt, tie and golf balls and go right to the fun stuff! No matter what your budget is, you'll find a gift from these 10 Fun Father's Day Finds guaranteed to make him smile!
2. Bicycle Pizza Cutter – for a cycle enthusiast or the guy who makes a mean pizza, here's a pizza cutter with pizzaz! ($12)
3. Superman book support – what better gift is there to give that supportive guy who loves to read?! ($35 each)
4. Batman apron – If your super hero is more into cooking than reading, how about an apron to celebrate his super strength? ($12)
5. Beef Jerky Kit – who says guys don't do crafty? Just add meat to this do-it-yourself jerky kit to give a gift with a little spice! ($30)
6. Sriracha key chain – For the guy who eats on the go and doesn't like to be without his heat, this little handy-dandy refillable sriracha bottle keychain serves a dual purpose. Don't forget to have a bottle of sriracha handy to fill from – you don't want to be like the gifter who gives the toy without the batteries! (Starting from $5 for a single on up for sets)
7. Hammer and nail organizer – because no matter what the job, there's just no reason to have a dull desk! ($58)
8. Coffee cookie mug – Sweeten his morning coffee with a stash of his favorite cookies ($18 for the mug – you're on your own for the cookies!)
9. Exercise mat – Now here's a yoga mat that stands out in a crowd. Did I say "yoga mat?" I meant to say BROga mat! ($40-$70 – unless you save by catching the sale that ends on June 20!)
10. The Cooper Kit – For the dad with children from 5 to 9 years old – the one who's still a kid-at-heart himself – the Cooper Kit might be the perfect gift. It's a subscription to a mini adventure. Every 3 months a box arrives full of fun for dad and offspring to work on together. A bit of a splurge at $260 for the four deliveries, it turns Father's Day into Father/Child year!
Are you looking for the perfect way to express your love to you favorite Valentine? Something that says I am SO grateful I have you in my life? Something that has more impact than chocolates and more staying power than flowers? Maybe the best gift you and your spouse can give each other is Project Valentine.
You and your mate know that you are loved – that each of you think the other is special. How about joining together to create that same wonderful feeling for someone else? There are so many people who don't have a Valentine – and you both are in the perfect place to say: "Will you be mine?"
Use the funds you would have spent on each other for over-priced flowers (you know costs double for V-day, right?) and unnecessary chocolate (no excuses to sabotage those New Years Resolutions!) to buy Valentines or sweet treats for somebody who could use some love.
Here are some Project Valentine ideas:
Project Valentine is the perfect gift for you and your spouse to give each other. What better way to express your love than by helping others feel it first hand?[Note: Project Valentine could be one of those experiences that ends up being one of those "jar moments" referred to in the last post!]
One of the toughest situations to deal with in the aftermath of divorce is holiday visitation with the children. As if the holiday season by itself wasn't stressful enough, dealing with only having the children for part of the holiday in addition to making sure they get to where they're suppose to be for the other part of the holiday can send stress levels right off the chart! As a Family Law attorney who often represents children, I field a lot of calls from frustrated parents this time of year – and here's what I tell them. Whether there are hard feelings to or from your ex or you both get along great, these five tips can make the holiday visitation less stressful for you, your ex, and – more importantly – your children.
1. Transition your child before the doorbell rings. I'm often told by parents that the child just doesn't want to go to the other parent's for the holidays, they want to stay right where they are. This may be true, and/or there may be a legitimate reason the child feels this way. But often the reluctance to go is because they are enjoying what they're doing or are afraid they're going to miss out on something. To overcome the latter two, prepare ahead of time. Watch how you talk about activities the child won't be a part of – don't tell him "how sad" you will be that he can't be there for them. There's nothing to be sad about (on the outside!) because he gets to spend time with the other parent, too. Make sure the game being played or movie being watched ends a substantial amount of time before the other parent picks up to avoid the child ending up being resentful that he has to "stop having fun" when it's time to go.
2. Have the extra packing done, too. Most people don't wait until the last minute to pack up the child's visitation suitcase with clothes, nightwear and toiletries. But those little last-minute round-ups that leave the ex cooling his or her heels at the door (deliberately??) are unnecessary. Make a checklist as you think of things the child needs to have with her (medicine, gifts for the other family members, that book for the report she has to write over the break) and make sure they are packed and ready to go well ahead of time. Give your child the gift of a stress-free (or at least less-stressed) transition – one where they don't start out with an irritated parent annoyed at them or grumbling about you.
3. Limit incoming phone and text message interruptions. Unless there is a court-ordered (or previously agreed-upon) phone visitation time, you don't have to answer phone calls from the other parent during meals, gift exchanges, movies, family gatherings and other events where it would be disruptive to the child. I am not suggesting you don't allow phone visitation during your holiday period with your child. On the contrary, I'm suggesting you plan for it. Have the child call the other parent, or answer calls, during times when the child is not engaged in fun events. Initiate (or take) the calls in a quiet place or room free of distractions so that the child can enjoy his chat with the other parent and not "just get through" it.
4. Limit outgoing phone and text message intrusions. Assume your ex has read the paragraph above and try to be sensitive about the intrusiveness of your own visitation calls. While negotiating prior to the visit for set times to speak to the child via phone may seem like a good idea, psychologist Arlene Schaefer says that arrangement is "all about the parents." She says kids don't like to be ripped from what they're doing to have a conversation they often don't feel like having – which can leave the calling parent feeling slighted and resentful toward the other parent who is perceived as not encouraging the contact. The better arrangement includes flexibility – maybe an agreement for the child to call "after her shower" or in the morning while breakfast is being cooked.
5. Anticipate and plan for the obstacles. Two complaints I hear often from divorced parents is that their ex is always late for exchanges and/or the the child is tuckered out upon arrival. Whether it's deliberate sabotage or just insensitivity, the result of chronic lateness or turning over sleep-deprived children is the same – conflict, more stress, and potentially ruined plans. You have no power to change the offender – but you can prepare for the offense. Don't create tight deadlines on yourself by making plans that you can only be timely for if the other parent is timely. Allow plenty of time between pick-up and any event – it's easier to "kill time" if you're early than dealing with stress, frustration and resentment that accompany rushing to make it to wherever you're headed. If your child routinely is tired when she arrives from the other parent's custody, plan ahead so that she has time to take a nap before heading out for the evening's entertainment. Or factor in some down-time on the first day of visitation. Or plan for an early evening on the night of arrival so that on the first full day of visitation everyone can hit the ground running. While it may not seem right that you should have to construct your plans around the other parent's offending behavior, doing so totally annihilates you ex's power to ruin your plans or create a stressful start to your holiday time with your child.

Are you trying to come up with a gift idea for your husband or wife that is truly special? Something that says: you are so incredible that you deserve this one-of-a-kind gift, something that's been created just for you! As a spouse, you are in the unique position of being the one who can take one of your spouse's precious memories and make it come to life!
To generate some ideas about what memory may be gift-worthy, ask yourself these questions:
If you're memory-gift consists of a single precious item, you're ready for Step 2. If, however, your memory is an event, place, or loved one, you have a little gathering to do. If your spouse has some mementos collected, you're off and running. Let me give you an example. My husband had been on his high school's President's Physical Fitness Team and on their second trip to compete in the finals in Washington, D.C., they took first place in the nation. Having trained rigorously with his teammates for three years, he had formed some special friendships and memories – including a parade given in his hometown in honor of the team. A corresponding scrapbook had been stowed away with his medals for years. I mean, where do you put such things 20 years after the fact? Yet they were too special to just discard, and running across them every once in a while made him smile. Always up for finding ways to keep that smile going, I pilfered the scrapbook* for some of the yellowed newspaper articles, found some team photos, added the medals to the mix and arranged them all in a shadowbox I had purchased at a hobby store. It did, indeed, put a huge smile on his face when he opened his gift, and it looks quite nice hanging in his computer room. Not to mention the satisfaction I received from presenting him with something that he was finally unable to guess prior to opening!
Photos will work for all the categories that aren't a particular item. You might want to check with your spouse's friends or family members who might have pictures of the event that they can contribute or copy for your project. Memorabilia and souvenirs are great additions to recreate the memory of events and places. But don't despair if such items were not thoughtfully retained by your spouse for your use here. There are many ways to put together a meaningful collection or supplement any existing picture and memorabilia. Here's some suggestions:
For an event: Check out the internet for pictures of where it took place, quotes that can be printed out that compliment the experience (childhood, friendship, adventure, etc.), and pictures of tickets, programs, articles, or write-ups regarding the event. You might find trinkets that correlate at a craft or hobby store – things like a miniature representation of the school mascot or a miniature rocking chair. Most craft stores have a whole section dedicated to miniatures-almost-anything-you-can-think-of!
For a place: In addition to the event suggestions, look for things like postcards, travel brochures, maps, drink or food recipe cards, and pictures or small objects that represent the culture.
For a missed loved one: A picture of a meaningful place or shared interest, lyrics to a song, a poem or quote about the type of relationship, an object that belonged to the person or pet, a miniature object which represents an activity they did together (tennis rackets, movie popcorn container, playing cards, paintbrush) or an interest they shared (ballet shoes, gardening gloves, workshop tools, etc.).
You want to package your memory-gift in a way that it can be easily displayed on a wall, shelf, or furniture surface.
Framing works best for flat items such as:
Shadowboxes work best for items that are small or combinations of flat and non-flat collections such as:
Cubes, plastic boxes, glass or plastic display containers come in a variety of sizes and shapes and work for larger items such as:
You are in the unique position of being the only one who has access to both your spouse's memories AND the drawers and dusty basement boxes they keep the reminders in. The combination is a heady best-gift-ever-waiting-to-happen. And only YOU can be the one that makes sure it does! Giving your spouse the gift of a fond memory made tangible will have him or her smiling long after the holiday is over!
*Pilfering scrapbooks is NOT recommended if they were put together with loving care by your spouse!
Have you ever tried to stir up some "what we are thankful for" discussion at Thanksgiving dinner, only to be met with blank faces? Or the spouting of obligatory mini-lists such as: "I'm thankful for my spouse. And my children." Which are not bad things to express thankfulness for – especially if the spouse and children are present – but it doesn't inspire further conversational contributions. If you're looking for friends and family to go a little deeper – to evoke a memory of person or place each is grateful for – lose the generic (and somewhat tired) request. To get the gratitude flowing along with the feast, get specific. You can toss out topics or pass around a bowl containing slips of paper with topics for dinner attendees to draw from. Here are 15 questions to help put the "thanks" into your Thanksgiving dinner conversation.
It may seem like the word "favorite" could be substituted for some of the "thankfuls" and "gratefuls" – but that might be a different discussion. For instance, my favorite teacher – the one who made class so enjoyable – is not the teacher I'm most grateful for. While I certainly appreciated the fun teacher, the one I have gratitude for is the one that saw something in me and required me to improve and grow. Asking specific questions can generate meaningful conversation that puts a spotlight on the "thanks" in Thanksgiving.

Let's be honest – flowers and candy are kind of an easy out for Valentine's Day. They're nice, sure – but not the most creative gift choice. And what's the deal with the price of roses doubling just for the occasion?? Costs skyrocket like the price of gas on Labor Day weekend – for no other reason than people will pay more to give the traditional gift. So buck the system. Be a Valentine's Day rebel. Here are a dozen (roseless!) gift ideas to that will get you thinking outside the chocolate box!
1. Vanity license plate. Get that special saying or nickname on a license plate – and your loved one will have your special sentiments with them where ever they go!
2. Newspaper greeting. If you live in a small town, buying a page, half page, quarter page or smaller of the local newspaper is probably an option. You can have it say whatever you want – and even include that special picture that will make your mate smile. What goes better with a morning cup of coffee like a personalized newspaper?!
3. Etched mirror. Take a hanging mirror from your wall to a glass etcher and have that meaningful quote, symbol or picture etched permanently in the place your mate will see reflected around their face for years to come! For a bigger splurge, hire the etcher to come to your home and do the bathroom mirror.
4. Create a secret code. Do something simple like having the letters in your own names represent different letters. Give your mate a card with your secret message (maybe where you're going for dinner?) with instruction on the back for how to crack the code. When the day is over you'll still have your code to tweet or send Facebook message that only the two of you will understand!
5. Name a star for them. Really. The International Star Registry has several "packages" for star-naming available. They even have coordinates of your personalized star included. Additional splurge? Buy, rent or borrow a telescope to have it aiming at your mate's new star when you present your gift!
6. Personalized office supplies. Staplers, tape dispensers, letter holders and pens can be boring. Unless they're a reminder that you are loved! Go traditional with your mate's name, or make it even more personal with an inside joke, favorite song lyric, or other meaningful engraving.
7. Workplace delivery. Instead of sending those predictable (and grossly overpriced) roses to the workplace, how about surprising your mate with lunch delivered from their favorite restaurant, or a special coffee and pastry for their morning break?
8. Personalized games. Dice and playing cards can be personalized with words and pictures. Want to go bigger? How about personalizing a whole board game like this Make Your Opoly Board Game? Operating on a tight budget? There's an app for that! In this case, a My Monopoly Game app that allows you to create and print personalized stickers to go over an existing game board.
9. Customized T-shirts. Have a special message printed on a T-Shirt or Sweatshirt so they can wear your love all year round!
10. A calendar. Boring? Not if you have few mystery dates penned in for upcoming months. Now the mundane qualifies as a gift that keeps on giving!
11. The selfie presentation. Want to take your mate to a special movie, dinner, or other event? Take a picture of yourself holding the tickets or menu and download the picture as wallpaper on your mate's computer. What better way to start the day then turning on the computer and having the promise of a gift-to-come virtually presented?
10. Happily-ever-after book ending. Draft a Love Letter and glue it to the back inside cover of the book they're reading for a very special ending!
With horns tooting, fireworks popping, and Auld Lang Syne blaring off the TV, it's pretty hard to miss the arrival of the New Year. But just in case you slept through the hoopla and haven't heard any official announcement, here's 10 ways you can tell the New Year is here without leaving your house or looking at a calendar!
1. Your spouse announced you both have new memberships at the local gym. Again.
2. The ads in your junk mail are for White Sales instead of toys and electronics.
3. Magazines, newspapers, and your toiletries are organized in baskets and colorful containers that have suddenly appeared.
4. You hear: "Is this deductible?" a lot.
5. The refrigerator is full of good-for-you stuff.
6. You're the only one in your neighborhood that still has Christmas lights on at night.
7. Your spouse hasn't sworn/eaten ice cream/indulged in whatever they consider to be their bad habit for over a week.
8. People have stopped sending you tweets, instagrams and Facebook posts of their darling pets wearing antlers or Santa hats.
9. The cookie stockpile is dwindling.
10. You have sworn off making New Year's Resolutions. Again.
What's the number one sign that the New Year has arrived at YOUR house?

Whatever the weather, here's wishing you a blessed and very MERRY CHRISTMAS!
This time of year can be absolutely crazy! We have so much to do, so many places to go, so many lists to write, so many things to remember. With all the hustle and bustle going on, it's easy to overlook something. Or someone. One way to avoid being caught with a memory short and a gift shy is to have some great gifts on hand to present to those very special people you care about – but forgot. A great have-on-hand gift is one that is useful, not tied to a particular age, gender, or ethnicity, and – maybe most important of all – is something you wouldn't mind owning if this is the year you forget nobody! Here are five that qualify!
1. Amaryllis in a box. This fast-growing flower comes in oodles of colors – including a cool peppermint striped variety – and can be found in big box stores and garden stores for $5-$10. The recipient will be delighted with the giant blooms (about 8 inches!) that erupt within 4-6 weeks indoors and last another two weeks on average. Bonus: the box is an easy-to-wrap shape.
2. Bottled Quick-Bread. Layering these common ingredients in a bottle – or clear jar – with the simple instructions makes an attractive gift that anybody would eat up! Click on the picture for this Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Quick Bread recipe and how-to. Bonus: the mix lasts 2-3 months at room temperature.
3. Holiday CD. Classics, instrumentals, children's favorites, Big Band editions, country Christmas . . . there's more choices and places to buy them than ornaments on a crowded tree! Bonus: If this one's not claimed by Christmas Day, you can use it immediately – no mixing or growing required!
4. Flavored Hot Chocolate Mix. You can present your gift in a jar as pictured, or fill cellophane bags, tie off and tuck them in a festive Christmas mug for two gifts in one! Click on the picture for this French Vanilla recipe. Bonus: this can be made in a batch and divided up to create multiple gifts.
5. Windowsill herb garden. The pictured kit was found on Amazon.com for $18.68 (give or take a few pennies), but you should be able to find something similar at a local lawn and garden type store. From attractive package, to something that looks nice in the kitchen, to something one can eat, this gift has it all! Bonus: It's the gift that keeps on giving. Italian herb rubs, rosemary bread – there's so many yummy possibilities you may want to gift this to one who lives close enough to share!Related:

I have a confession. I am addicted to food blogs. One of my favorite fixes is looking at Deb's food on Smitten Kitchen. A few weeks ago she featured a corn, buttermilk, and chive popover recipe that looks awesome.
For those of you not familiar with popovers, they are the American version of a Yorkshire pudding, which is a sort of eggy roll that can be savory or sweet. Traditional Yorkshire puddings are usually made with the drippings from a roast, but drippings are not necessary for popovers (although I'm sure it would make them even more delicious).
I am a competent cook, but I have never made popovers before and was intimidated because apparently lots of people have trouble making them "pop". There are two schools of thought on making popovers. One says you should use preheated pans and turn the oven down part way through the cooking time and the other starts the popovers in a cold oven and uses a steady temperature. I looked for a basic recipe using method number two and here are the results:
Mmmm, popover perfection. (Okay, well, not quite perfection. They're a little dark in a couple spots because I started them in the toaster oven and then panicked because it heats too quickly for these and then switched them to the regular oven.)
Good news too: you only need four ingredients to make these! FOUR!
Anyway, the intimidation was for naught. These are easy and you can make them in a muffin tin, ramekins, or popover pan. Try them out!
Foolproof Popovers
(adapted from LAURIE's recipe)
(Yields about 7 popovers in a standard muffin tin.)
2 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1. Mix everything together. Batter can be slighly lumpy but make sure eggs are broken up and incorporated.
2. Thoroughly grease your pan and fill the tins ( or whatever you're using) 3/4 full of batter.
3.Put the tin in a COLD oven and set the temperature for 450 degrees. Cook for 30 minutes and do not open the oven. (In the last 5 minutes you can crack the oven an inch or two to check that they aren't overly browning). The popovers should be medium to dark brown. Best when warm from oven.

Property in Jalon, Costa Blanca North
The town of Jalon is set in the heart of the delightful Jalon Valley, one of Spain's most green and attractive places to live. Sheltered by mountains, the valley enjoys a typical subtropical Mediterranean climate – with over 320 days of sunshine a year, but without the overwhelming heat and humidity experienced in other parts of Spain.
Jalon takes its name from the river that meanders through the town – which you can cross by paddling across the ford or take the more conventional (but less fun!) route over the bridge. It' a pretty place, with whitewashed houses, and winding cobbled streets – famous for its blue domed church, and the fountain in the town square which is where the market is held on Tuesday mornings.
On Saturdays, there is a huge car boot and antiques sale on the river bank. With a good range of bars and restaurants, shops and banks, Jalon has everything you need for day to day living. Jalon is famed for its wines – gutsy reds and sweet Moscatels – there are several bodegas in Jalon where you can sample the local wines before buying. Wine is sold by the litre so bring your empties!
Calpe is an easy 20 minute drive – and there is no end of gorgeous beaches to discover along the coast. The nearest airport is Alicante – about 80 kilometres (around an hour by car) and Valencia airport is around 120 kilometres away (about an hour and twenty minutes by car).
The great advantage of buying inland property in Spain is the cost – we have some beautiful detached villas in Jalon, many with pools and sizeable plots of land, and you will be pleasantly surprised at how much further your money goes when you direct your search away from the well known coastal property hot spots. It's the best of all worlds: gorgeous countryside, in a peaceful setting, yet only a short drive to the stunning beaches of the Costa Blanca.

Jean-Marc Ayrault quotes
The fight against terrorism cannot be effective if we do not link it to resolving the Syrian situation.feedback
Use of chemical weapons is appalling and should be punished because it is a war crime.feedback
France is still seeking to talk with its partners on the Security Council ... Russia in particular. These crimes must not remain unpunished. ... One day, international justice will rule on Assad.feedback
Apr 06 2017
(The first stage) is not to go in ourselves, under the pretext that the US President may have a rush of blood to the head, and get onto a war footing.feedback
A new and particularly serious chemical attack took place this morning in Idlib province. The first information suggests a large number of victims, including children. I condemn this disgusting act. In the face of such serious actions that threaten international security, I ask for everyone not to shirk their responsibilities. With this in mind, I ask for an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council.feedback
The use of chemical weapons constitutes an unacceptable violation of the convention against chemical weapons and is another example of the barbarity that the Syrian people have been under for so many years.feedback
It's a test. That's why France repeats the messages, notably to the Americans, to clarify their position. I told them that we need clarity. What's your position? The question is to know, yes or no, whether the Americans support a political transition in Syria, which means organising this transition, elections, and that at the end of the process, the question of Assad's departure is asked.feedback
First I would like to express all my solidarity for the victims and all my condolences to the Russian people. We do not know yet the causes, but we stand close to all those who suffer. That is why I want to express now my solidarity in the name of France.feedback
If we want to defeat terrorism in Syria we don't just need to defeat Daesh, we also must fight its causes.feedback
Mar 23 2017
We must say no to those who want to kill our democracy. We will not put up walls.feedback
This terrible violence wounds us, and strikes us in the heart, because we cannot but express first of all our solidarity, our affection and in particular with the victims. It's an incredibly violent attack, which targets people and in a symbolic place, that of the British parliamentary democracy, so it has meaning. We cannot but interpret it that way.feedback
It's an attack of incredible violence and significance, targeting people in a symbolic place, that of the seat of British parliamentary democracy.feedback
It (Lafarge) should reflect upon what its interests are. There are other clients who will be stunned by this. Lafarge says it doesn't do politics... Very well, but I would say companies... also have social and environmental responsibilities.feedback
This kind of interference in French democratic life is unacceptable. The French will not accept anyone dictating their [electoral] choices.feedback
Mar 01 2017
In view of the enormous challenges Europe faces, we must not ratchet down our ambitions for the common European project. The EU is far more than an internal market.feedback
Feb 18 2017
I was struck that he never mentioned the EU.feedback
The meeting showed that Russians and Ukrainians had no other option, but to respect Minsk. They have no alternatives. We agree to meet quickly, perhaps in three weeks, to see if we can advance on the ceasefire, withdrawal of heavy weapons and exchange of prisoners. We need a lot of patience, because we can see a lack of will on either side.feedback
The question is not funding NATO or changing budgets, but how Europe can ... improve its deployability without creating a European army.feedback
Feb 17 2017
It is important and absolutely instrumental for us to have a close dialogue with the United States on the Syrian issue and on many other issues.feedback
With Russia we have some serious points of disagreement and they have to be put on the table. It's not by making friendly statements that problems will be resolved. The deal must be completely respected by Iran, but it is out of the question to open up a new construction site for an agreement that was reached in difficulty. I sense that there was a difference of opinion or at least question marks.feedback
Feb 16 2017
Between the campaign speech, the tweets and what I heard from Tillerson, it's the start of clarification.feedback
Feb 15 2017
We will not accept any interference whatsoever in our electoral process, no more from Russia by the way than from any other state. This is a question of our democracy, our sovereignty, our national independence.feedback
Terrorism knows no nationality. Discrimination is no response.feedback
I'm coming as the defender of the accord, but to be vigilant and explain that they (the Iranians) must be irreproachable. We harbour real concerns about the U.S. administration's attitude towards this agreement. We want this agreement to be respected. It is in the common interest of the international community that it is.feedback
We had hoped Iran would be less aggressive in the region.feedback
Welcoming refugees who flee war and oppression is part of our duty.feedback
We wish for the success of today's meeting. But I don't know if we're going to reach a real agreement. We hope for negotiations to resume in Geneva.feedback
Jan 19 2017
But it's not about punishing the United Kingdom, who says it's about punishment? I heard that expression used by my counterpart. In any case, it's not the position of France.feedback
Jan 19 2017
There will be no cherry picking. But there is no question of punishing the United Kingdom. That is not the position of France.feedback
Jan 17 2017
It is the unity of the Europeans.feedback
Jan 16 2017
The best way to defend Europe, that's what Mr. Trump is inviting us to do, is to remain united, is to stand together and not forget that the strength of Europeans is their unity.feedback
Jan 16 2017
The best way to defend Europe – and it is at Trump's invitation – is to say united, together as a bloc.feedback
"When you are president of the United States, … you can't have such an entrenched, unilateral position,". "You have to seek to contribute to creating the conditions for peace.".feedback
Jan 15 2017
Our collective responsibility is now is to get Israelis and Palestinians back to the negotiation table together. (..) Because only dialogue allows us to achieve the two state solution and to bring peace and security to the Middle East.feedback
Jan 15 2017
A two-state solution is the only possible one.feedback
Jan 15 2017
Both parties are very far apart and their relationship is one of distrust – a particularly dangerous situation. Our collective responsibility is to bring Israelis and Palestinians back to the negotiating table. We know it is difficult, but is there an alternative? No, there isn't.feedback
Dec 22 2016
France is still determined to hold a conference in Paris to reaffirm the necessity of a two-state solution.feedback
France calls on each side, in particular the regime and its supporters, to be responsible so that this resolution is implemented without delay and a lasting ceasefire is put in place across the country.feedback
I call on the United Nations to use without delay all the mechanisms to establish the truth of what is happening in Aleppo so that the international community does not let these crimes remain unpunished.feedback
What peace do they want? The peace of cemeteries? Negotiations must start again, the opposition is ready to negotiate without preconditions.feedback
The battle for Aleppo is not aiming to defeat terrorism but to try to eradicate all political opposition, and they aim above all to use violence to shore up a dictator who is scorned.feedback
The first thing we must do in Aleppo and across all of Syria is stop the fighting, the bombardments and allow access for humanitarian aid.feedback
The goal is to liquidate the opposition, much more than to fight the Al-Nusra Front, like we are.feedback
We have to recreate the conditions for a two-state solution and we are determined more than ever to do everything to implement our initiative. The sooner the better.feedback
There is a logic of total war with incredible brutality of the Assad regime that aims at conquering useful Syria. It's a dramatic situation that will only get worse.feedback
It would weaken the objective of resolving this conflict and would be a victory to those who endangered the security of a country.feedback
Abandoning the Minsk accords would be a mistake for our strategic interests.feedback
France is taking an initiative to confront the strategy of total war by the regime and its allies, who are taking advantage of the uncertainty in the United States.feedback
Nov 14 2016
Europe must not wait for the decisions of others. It should defend its interests and its strategic role in the world.feedback
Nov 14 2016
We will make clear our desire for strategic autonomy and to use the tools that will allow us to act.feedback
Nov 13 2016

France remains committed as long as the jihadist threat continues to weigh on the future of these countries. What message would we be sending if we envisaged a reduction of our effort?

Rasheedah, Rayquan, Raysha, Rahiem
In 2009, Rasheedah and her three children moved into an apartment in Sojourner House, a Pittsburgh based organization that provides housing, rehabilitation, career, and childcare services to single moms who are recovering addicts. At least once a week, I would visit with Rasheedah and her family. The children instantly took a liking to my camera, and each visit I would bring a different piece of equipment with me.
Eventually, I gave them a small point and shoot camera to keep for the duration of the project. After a couple of months, I gathered all of the photographs and worked with the family to compile them into a series of small books. I also worked with the family on small writing projects, and their responses are also featured in the book.
Each of the books is hand bound with hand written calligraphy on the front. Once finished, they were given to Rasheedah and her family as gifts - to be displayed in their home. The photographs give the viewer insight into the daily life of Rasheedah and her children, documenting everything from the banal to the extraordinary. As a result, they break down stereotypes related to addiction, and explore the struggles and triumphs of being a single mother.

A Clarke County Superior Court jury convicted an Athens man Friday in the 2003 stabbing death of his ex-girlfriend after she ended their abusive six-year relationship.

Chief Judge Lawton Stephens sentenced 41-year-old Terry Lewis Smith to life in prison without the possibility of parole on two counts of murder and one count of aggravated assault.
Stephens said the sentence was mandatory because Smith is a four-time convicted felon.
Jurors deliberated over two days after hearing three days of testimony.
Prosecutors said Smith stabbed 24-year-old Kashebia Lundy in a jealous rage as she returned to her home on Lankford Court in southeastern Clarke County early on the morning of Nov. 26, 2003, after she was with another man.
Stephens called the case a "prime example of what victim advocates have been telling us for years," that women are most at risk of being murdered after ending abusive relationships.
"The worst part was he left a little girl without a mother, and now has to pay the price by spending the rest of his life in a Georgia prison," the judge said.
After Lundy ended the relationship, Smith stalked and harassed her, threatening to kill her if they couldn't be together.
The prosecutor, Western Judicial Circuit Chief Deputy Assistant District Attorney Matt Karzen, said the verdict was "absolutely appropriate" because, "This was an unimaginable tragedy. Kashebia wasn't even 25 years old and had a 9-year-old daughter."
It was the daughter who found Lundy's body. She woke up at about 7 a.m., couldn't find her mother anywhere in the home and looked out a window to see her on the ground.
In his closing argument Thursday, Karzen portrayed Smith as an extremely jealous and possessive person who frequently abused Lundy. They met soon after Lundy graduated from high school and moved here from her hometown of Sparta, he said, and by the time she broke up with Smith, Lundy had become head of her household, caring for her daughter, brother and mother.
"It was with this new perspective she finally realized this has got to stop" and got out of the abusive relationship, Karzen told jurors.
During the trial, which involved more than 30 witnesses and about 100 exhibits, Karzen built a mostly circumstantial case against Smith, in which he said the much-older defendant took advantage of an impressionable, 17-year-old girl he met soon after she moved to Athens looking for a job. By the time Lundy broke up with Smith, she had matured, become head of her household and provided for her mother, brother and 9-year-old daughter.
Smith stalked Lundy so she had him barred from her neighborhood, Karzen said, and witnesses described the defendant mumbling to himself outside Lundy's window on four different nights the week before the murder, and on other occasions "lurking about" Lundy's home in a mask.
The day she was killed, Lundy spent about 90 minutes with a new boyfriend and returned home after dropping the man off at about 2:30 a.m., Karzen said.
As she got out of her car, Smith approached her from behind, stabbing her in the neck and chest, the prosecutor said.
Smith was arrested at the friend's house soon after Lundy's body was found.

A triathlete typically hires a coach for a specific purpose. Usually, this purpose includes wanting to race faster and/or longer, maximize available training time, or minimize injury risk and reoccurrence. A healthy coach-athlete relationship is one in which the coach helps the athlete successfully reach their goals while simultaneously maximizing their enjoyment of the triathlon experience.
In most cases, this means the coach delivers a training plan and helps the athlete execute that plan. Additionally, the coach will likely be called upon to offer support, advice and expertise to ensure their athlete's success. A coach will expect honest feedback from the athlete so that they can, in turn, provide the best available product to the athlete.
An athlete should hire a coach because he or she is an expert in their field. Therefore, the athlete will need to enter the relationship with an open mind and trust in the coach. The athlete should remember their coach works for him or her, so the athlete should expect to see ongoing movement towards their goal as well as respect for their limitations and priorities. Family, career, faith, social plans and other responsibilities need to be taken into consideration when the coach creates training plans.
The coach-athlete relationship is most productive when the there is open and honest communication between the athlete and their coach. The athlete should regularly update the coach as to their fitness gains, recovery levels or anything else the coach may need to keep in mind when making adjustments to the training plan. The coach should communicate honest assessments of things like the athlete's objectives, limitations and training consistency.
An athlete should do their due diligence when hiring a coach--similar to when selecting a doctor, accountant or any other professional service. The athlete should ensure the coach has a proven track record of delivering results to athletes similar to them, and that the coach can provide the same results within the limitations of the athlete A coach should look to work with athletes who are dedicated to achieving their goals and willing to put in the work necessary to do so.
Perhaps (obviously) I am biased, but the available data also confirms that athletes who work with a coach consistently perform at a higher level than those that do not. It is common for self-taught athletes to hire a coach when taking on half or full distance triathlons, but coaches can have great success with short course athletes as well. Whenever the athlete is ready to take their performance to the next level or simply train and race in a more efficient manner, hiring a coach is a great strategy.
Looking for your own triathlon coach? The TriDot triathlon training system is a one-of-a-kind, patents-pending coaching and training system that takes the guesswork out of triathlon training and racing.

text: I'm re-posting this so it doesn't get lost in the other thread about battery drain. Would the moderator please sticky this note? Many of you - like myself - have been having significant battery drain/signal issues on your Incredible. If you want to ever get the issue fix, read below: I went to the VZW store today to swap out my phone because my battery would drain to 0% in a few hours with little or no use, but they didn't have any in-store to give me, nor did they have any new batteries. I told them that I thought the problem was the signal dropping in and out, and they acted like this was the first time they'd heard that. I went around to the various phones in the store and noticed that all the Incredibles were at -90 dbm, while the Droid Eris', for example, were at -70. It's clear there is some kind of signal problem here. I called VZW customer service and they are sending me out a new phone, which I'm almost certain will NOT fix the problem, since this is either a phone-wide hardware problem or a software issue. When I called VZW, I asked how many people before me had called about this issue, and the agent told me they had "absolutely no reported issues with the Incredible yet." That, of course, makes no sense, since one peek at this board will tell you there is a signal and battery drain issue. The agent then told me that Verizon needs three customer complaints on a particular issue before it is sent to the manufacturer. So, they've logged my serial number - and I'm the first. We need a bunch of other people to call VZW customer service and say: 1) the signal is weak/dropping out, toggling between 1x and 3g 2) The battery is dying far too quickly, possibly as a result of #1. If nobody calls, the issue WILL NOT be sent to HTC, and thus will not get fixed. So everyone, please inundate VZW with phone calls and tell them the Incredible needs an update immediately.
