School Closings
2-17-14 School Headaches Due To The Weather On The Morning News With Dave Lee
New Prague initially had today on the calendar for a make up day….because of the weather…and guess what happened?
1-27-14 Denny Carlson On The WCCO Morning News With Dave Lee
4th day of school closings due to Extreme Cold…..are more to come? Listen to the Superintendent of Anoka Hennepin District talk with John Hines by clicking the link above.
Schools Cancel Classes Monday Due To Extreme Cold
Anoka-Hennepin School District has announced they will cancel classes for Monday, joining a number of other schools making the same decision.
Esme's Blog: A Note to School Administrators
To school administrators: I get it, your job is hard. But being a mom, dad or guardian of a child is too. I get that when the high is -10, schools should be closed. What I don't get is why these calls are not made sooner so that parents can make plans, not only for their children but for their own work schedules.
Forecast Cold Already Leading To School Closures
Snow forecast for this weekend and extreme cold expected early next week have led Rochester, Austin and Winona public schools to cancel classes for Monday, and other Minnesota school districts are thinking about it.
Will Extreme Cold Close Schools On Monday?
More severely cold temperatures are expected to hit Minnesota on Monday, and that means school could be cancelled yet again for thousands of students. Mary Olson, spokesperson for Anoka-Hennepin Schools, says the district has received many phone calls from parents asking if schools will be closed Monday due to the predicted cold. She says the district will wait until Sunday to make the call, but they will cancel school if the weather is cold as or colder than it's been on previous "cold days."
School Closures For Tuesday Up To Minn. Districts
Minnesota school districts will make their own calls about whether to resume classes Tuesday or keep buildings closed another day.
Scores Of Minnesota Schools Cancel Classes
Treacherous driving conditions have led scores of schools and school districts to cancel classes for the day across the southern half of Minnesota.
Snow Emergencies Abound, But MnDOT Pleased With Quick Clean Up
Thousands of Minnesota students had the day off, dozens of flights were canceled and the cleanup is far from over after the Twin Cities got hit with about a foot of snow over the past two days, culminating with Tuesday's heavy downfall.
Good Question: How Do Schools Decide To Delay Or Close?
We are in the age of the two-hour snow delay. Almost every time it snows, there's a long list of school with a late start time. Rarely do we see districts canceling classes.
Highways Reopen In Western Minnesota After Storm
Duluth, Itasca, International Falls and Grand Rapids are among northeastern Minnesota school districts canceling classes because of poor road conditions.
Fog, Ice Prompt School Closures Across SE Minn.
Schools throughout southeastern Minnesota are either closed or opening two hours late because of dense fog and icy roads.
Storm Closes Schools In Western Wisconsin
Snow plow drivers worked to clear roads of more than a foot of snow that fell in western Wisconsin.
Winter Storm Shuts MN Schools Down
A number of school districts reported delays and closings Wednesday morning, as a mix of sleet and snow continued to drop belated winter conditions on Minnesota.

PISCATAWAY, NJ - Senior Matt Campbell (Haddonfield, NJ) will represent the Rutgers swimming and diving team at the NCAA 2004 Division I Men's Swimming and Diving Championships, March 25-27, in East Meadow, NY.
Campbell will swim in the 50-meter freestyle on Thursday, March 25, and the
100-meter freestyle on Saturday, March 27. He is seeded 26th in 50 free and
41st in the 100 free.
Last season, Campbell became the first male Rutgers swimmer in 10 years to reach the NCAA Championships where he competed in the same two events and finished with the 12th fastest time in the country in the 50 free.
At the BIG EAST Championships, Feb. 19-21, where the Scarlet Knights registered a fourth-place finish, Campbell set the school record in the 100 free (44.32) and anchored the school record setting 400 free relay. For his efforts at the meet, he earned all-conference honors in the 100 free, the 200 free relay, the 400 medley relay, the 200 medley relay and the 400 free relay.
Campbell has also qualified for the U.S. Olympic swimming trials in Long Beach, CA, July 7-14 in the 50 free.

IRVING, Texas – Knee and hamstring problems continue to sideline Cowboys players, but the groin injuries have nearly ceased.
Defensive lineman
"I did individual and I did some metabolics after that, which is kind of like conditioning," Lissemore said after practice. "I'm just getting all the work I can and staying focused right now."
Lissemore, Sims and safety
Sims could still play this weekend against the Bengals after working on cutting and changing directions, but he hasn't been given the green light yet to return to practice. Lissemore is more confident about his availability this weekend after suiting up Tuesday.
"I'll be ready to play Saturday," Lissemore said. "I'm not sure (how much). It's up to the coaches."
Lissemore didn't feel any soreness from the groin injury he suffered. He said it's always frustrating to be injured, especially right now when he's learning a new defense, but he's used the time to watch practice and get tips from
Despite moving inside from 3-4 defensive end to the 4-3 one technique at tackle, Lissemore said he actually lost between 12 and 14 pounds from when he started camp. He's learned that this defense calls for the linemen – even the interior ones – to be able to run up field, despite possible chips and double teams. He initially thought he'd have to bulk up, but it was the opposite.
"Last year, I was taking on blockers and holding up the point, and this is about getting up field and moving the whole entire time, so you've got to be in great shape for that," Lissemore said. "The concept is to get up field and to get away from the blocker and cause penetration, cause blockers to be screwed up, essentially. So you're not taking a guy on quick and holding the point and pressing him out. It's different."
Ratliff's helped him out in that area. Lissemore said he worked with Ratliff on different techniques before the Arizona game.
"I can definitely play in this defense, it's just taking a little bit to transition," Lissemore said. "It's a little bit different than last year, playing the 3-4 defense, kind of two-gapping it. It's kind of forgetting everything I've learned for the past three years and training myself to do something different."
Lissemore isn't as accustomed to the 4-3 defense as Sims, who played it in past stops before joining the Cowboys' 3-4 system last year. Sims began to take some reps with the first team after a strong start to training camp, but the groin injury halted his progress.
"That was real frustrating," Sims said. "I was really frustrated. I was pissed off, but it's just a minor setback. I'm eager to get back out there and my journey and my goal is still not done. I still have got a lot that I want to accomplish this year, and I'm just ready to get back out there and prove myself."
Sims had never had a groin injury before, and he heard from other players it was essential that he take his time and treat it the right way so it didn't get worse.
"I'm really trying to make sure I do all the things right, taking it slow and not pushing myself too hard to where I hurt myself later on down the line," he said.

5 Biodegradable and Compostable Trash Bags
We've heard plastic bags take 1,000 years to decompose in a landfill. We don't know if that's an exact number, but there's no doubt that plastic bags are a huge drain on resources and a major environmental concern. Look to these biodegradable and compostable options instead:
1. Green Genius Biodegradable Bags: their bags are made with EcoPure, which basically turns their plastic bags into food for microbes. Made from 40% recycled plastic. Tall Kitchen and Outdoor Bags available. $5.99-$9.99 through these in-store retailers or online.
2. Bio-Bags: made from the material, Mater-Bi, which contains GMO-free starch, biodegradable polymers and other renewable resources. No polyethylene is used in the production process. They have a full line of biodegradable and compostable bags, including dog waste bags, lawn and leaf bags, cat pan liner bags, and a variety of kitchen trash can size bags. Available at most stores, or order through their website or Amazon.
3. Indaco Compostable Bags: full biodegradable and compostable within 120 days. 3 and 13 gallon sizes available. $8.99 through Amazon.
4. EcoSafe Biodegradable Bags: doggie bags, kitchen bags, and leaf, yard and garden bags available, $3.99-$9.99 through Amazon.
5. World Centric Compostable Bags: made from mixture of synthetic and starch based plastics. Soy based ink is used for printing on the bags. These bags will biodegrade between 90-180 days depending on situation. A variety of sizes available in bulk through Amazon.
If you've had negative or positive experiences with any of these brands, tell us below!

I bought the tall kitchen bio-bags before and didn't like them. They actually are not tall enough for some kitchen waste containers. Plus, they rip easily and don't have ties (you have to fill it less and tie it using the top of the bag). We switched to green genius and they're awesome! I ended up buying a bulk supply of them on amazon. They fit our trash container, are strong, and actually have a drawstring tie. Definitely, recommend the green genius!
We use the BioBag tall kitchen bags and are very happy with them. Their 'first generation' was much too thin and ripped easily, but bags we have purchased in the last 6 months are much thicker and stronger.
We used biobags to take our compost to the community garden and at the end of the season, the compost person claimed they caused a slimy mess in the bin. Now that we have our own backyard bin, we don't use them.
We got samples of the Green Genius bags at whole foods. They stretched thin in some places (we have a lot of trash!) where a good ol' glad bag would do fine, but it didn't break. We're probably going to buy them now because of this.
Biodegradable bags are amazing for home or municipal composting, and probably converted a lot of people who otherwise wouldn't want to deal with messy food scraps.
But my understanding was that you don't actually want things in landfills to decompose --- the decomposition releases gases and makes the ground unstable. If that's the case, biodegradable bags for garbage would be useless or even harmful.
Can anyone verify this? I thought landfills were designed to be as inert as possible.
Some compostable bags are only for use in industrial composters, that is at high heat. Do not use them in home or small community ones!
@michaelames: the way the trucks compress their loads and how they then move the garbage around with heavy machinery at the landfill, pretty sure the bag gets pierced or ripped at one point! If they were even airtight at the beginning...
I have to admit, I tried the BioBags about 6 months ago. The thing started to decompose in my garbage bin, before I could even take it out to the dumpster. Guess you should never put anything damp in them.
Also, I read that these CAN break down in anaerobic landfills. Which may explain why it broke down so easily. Great idea, but you need to be choosy about what you put in them. Kitchen garbage was not the best of ideas. Bedroom/bathroom tissues etc? Fine tho.
We've got some samples of the World Centric Compostable Bags. We've used them around the house/office a bit and they've been pretty solid.
I also help run a green buying collective and most of the feedback from our member small businesses has been that the bags are working well (e.g., one of our folks is using them as a liner in a burlap sack for compost that he sells in NYC and seems to really like them).
I've been really happy with Biobags. I've not had any problems with them decomposing in my trashcan. Also, I agree that the newer bags are thicker than the old ones.
Gents / Ladies
We need a larger variety of biodegradable kitchen bags, in particular I am looking for a 20 inch x 22 inch size, which fits my kitchen infrastructure best. The only size offered is 16x17 inches - who decided that this size to be the magic number??

For 2014, Schwinn revisited the Slicker city bike, staying true to its tried-and-tested construction for the most part, while updating the rest with a bunch of premium components. The Reynolds 520 chromoly steel frame and fork, a Shimano 9-speed drivetrain and a 46T alloy crank all add up to a comfortable and agile ride in any urban environment.
100 Minute
Created by Amsterdam-based 100 Minute, the Minute is "a small bike for great minds." Fast, strong, compact and agile, it will serve you well on your daily commutes and errands. It comes equipped with a duomatic system with two gears and a coaster brake, while the front features a practical mounted rack, with an integrated bungee cord to secure your cargo.
Looking back on more than 125 years worth of experience, storied Italian company Bianchi is a sure bet when it comes to premium bikes. The Pista is a classic fixed gear bike, widely acclaimed for is timeless design and superior quality among those in the know. There are better bikes out there, no doubt about that, but if you're willing to forego all the bells and whistles this beauty is an ideal choice.
Diamond Limited Edition
BIKEID updated its Diamond model with three sleek metallic colorways. Available in a limited run only, each frame is crafted from durable Chromoly steel, before being hand finished. Features include handmade leather grips by Beau Veló, a Tektro front brake, crankset by FSA Gimondi, as well as an Automatix two-speed hub by SRAM.
A modern take on the classically styled, urban, single-speed bike, the Oxbridge provides a more dynamic and direct feeling than a traditional city bike. It boasts a clean and slim frame design due to full cromo tubing, as well as a load of premium components, ensuring an unmatched riding experience.
Bowery Lane Bicycles
Bowery Lane Bicycles' Bones is hand cut, welded and assembled in small production runs at a small New York City workshop. Arguably the perfect choice for anyone looking for a no-nonsense bike at a reasonable price that takes you around town in style.
Track Classic
The Fuji Track Classic's frame is made from stiff and durable Elios 2 chromoly in a tight, traditional track geometry. However, unlike most straight up track bikes, it offers easier handling due to the fork's gentler rake. Furthermore, the frame and fork are drilled for brakes (which are included). This helps this track machine make an easy transition to the city streets. Additional features include forged alloy 46T track crank, 16T fixed cog and a KMC Z-510 chain.
The Overthrow
Minimalist style and maximum performance meet in Solé's The Overthrow. With the ability to cruise single-speed or pump fixie, the bike is a steal at only $399.
Cross-Check SS
This single-speed bike by Surly makes for a trusty companion on your daily commute, boasting a tough Cro-Moly frame and fork with mounts for racks and fenders, front and rear, and two sets of water bottle cage bosses. A riser bar, 42/17t gearing and big, meaty tires add the finishing touches to this versatile bike.
Tokyo Bikes
Tokyo Bikes offers a Zen-like riding experience with its CS model bike. Crafted to conquer the Japanese metropolis' busy streets, it comes equipped with a tough Cro-Mo steel frame available in a number of different colors to chose from. The road-style brakes are light, durable and efficient, while the Shimano 8 speed gives you just what you need to get to your destination.

2011 Cudahy High School Renaissance Award Winners
On Thursday, May 26 at 9 a.m., Cudahy High School held its annual Renaissance Assembly in the high school auditorium. At the assembly, more than 200 Cudahy High School students were honored for their work in the classroom throughout the 2010-2011 school year. To receive an invitation to the assembly, students must have either earned a 3.0 grade point average (GPA) or achieved perfect attendance for each of the first three quarters of the school year. Winners of the Renaissance student of the month awards during this school year also received an invitation to the assembly.
The mission of Cudahy High School's Renaissance Program is to recognize the efforts of students in the classroom. In addition to the year-end assembly, Renaissance rewards students every quarter if the students earn a GPA of 3.0 or higher, if they achieve perfect attendance, or if they improve their GPA by .5 or more from the previous quarter. Together, we celebrate with and recognize the accomplishments of our students.

Ticket #1330 (closed bug: fixed)
Filter fails when comparing some continuous values
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Ales Erjavec <ales.erjavec@…>

Description (last modified by Elaugaufein) (diff)
I was using code to create an instance and check if it was already in either of 2 tables before adding it to one of them , if it was in neither.
I put together some code that would create an instance and a filter but in testing the filter failed to generate any hits when applied to a test table with an instance drawn from that table using random_instance.
Further testing shows that the filter works with discrete values and with some continuous values (eg 1.0 works fine) but not with continuous values of arbitrary length (e.g comparing -0.04669319838285446 fails ). The comparison done by filter to instances in the table seems to be different to the true value of an instance. This also means that a filter to find a specific value in a table may fail.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - The 33rd Annual Tibbits Auction held Saturday night attracted a crowd of around 300 to the Tibbits Opera House in Coldwater and with more than 500 items donated, nearly $60,000 was raised to benefit the operations of the theatre.
"Going Hollywood" was the auction theme this year and guests entered the Tibbits along a red carpet, greeted by volunteers acting as interviewers and photographers as well as notable stars from the golden age of cinema. Adding to the special occasion, those using the theatre's new stairs then entered through the brand new 10 foot restored doors. Darren Spieth and Dan Satow, owners of Norton Auctioneers and Spieth & Satow Auctioneers, served as auctioneers for the event. Early in the bidding Satow took a moment to recognize the loss of David Norton who led the auction from the beginning and helped Tibbits raise over 1.3 million dollars through his years. Later in the program another long-time supporter of the auction, Ed Geishert, Sr. who also passed earlier this year was recognized. The highest bid was made by Norma Geishert for the Barton S. Tibbits sponsorship for four tickets for every event in the theatre for the year. Her winning bid was $4000.

I was looking for a wide legged pants for a long time and I was so happy that I found the perfect vintage one in my size and for a bargain. Before I go (online) shopping, I visit my favorite vintage store or thrift shop first. It always gives me a satisfying feeling when I find treasures for a good price! And another advantage...it's (mostly) one of a kind!
By the way...last week I found one of my greatest treasures! I'll share it soon on my blog!

As Indiana residents, we have legal access to our pick of the best fireworks available. However, the best fireworks are expensive, and I often find it hard to justify spending so much money on them when there are so many great fireworks shows around town. So instead of blowing your paycheck on fireworks this year, consider catching the Kiwanis Fireworks Display.
The Kiwanis Fireworks Display is a Fourth of July fireworks show held at the Old Capitol Golf Course in Corydon. Because it's in Corydon, it's usually much less crowded than anything in Louisville. If you want to avoid the mess and crowds of the Waterfront Independence Festival, the Kiwanis Fireworks Display is a good alternative.
Where the fireworks shows in Louisville are preceded by live music, art shows, and kids' attractions, the Kiwanis Fireworks Display is solely a fireworks show. The fireworks go off at 10 p.m., so get there early and bring something to sit on.

CHALMETTE, La. (AP) - Hundreds of mourners have dropped notes, cards and letters into a steel-gray casket in a symbolic burial of Hurricane Katrina.
One letter written by a child in red crayon said: "Go away from us." Other notes remembered the 1,800 victims of Katrina, which devastated New Orleans and other areas five years ago.
When the casket was finally closed, people applauded. Archbishop Gregory M. Aymond says he has been to many funerals but this was the first time he had heard applause when the casket was closed.
The casket, along with some of the anger, grief and frustration, was interred Sunday under an appropriately dark sky as rain pounded umbrellas.

This sauce was delicious! I added some tomato paste and some more molasses because I might have added a little too much pepper. I made half the recipe and we still had plenty left. I would use this on pork also.
Kansas City Barbecue Sauce
ehellmich Posted: 08/24/09
Princess222 Posted: 06/02/10
Excellent Sauce! The only adjustment I made was to simmer a bit longer as we prefer a thicker sauce. This is our barbeque sauce of choice.
crusnock Posted: 12/16/09
This is now our go-to barbecue sauce. I don't keep celery seed or smoked salt in the house, so I omitted these and added 1/2 tsp of celery salt. I find that when I make smaller batches, it doesn't need anywhere near 25 minutes. This sauce is also great on pulled pork.
jennyr15375 Posted: 09/04/11
I love this recipe! I can't find smoked salt, so I use seasoned salt instead. This is my go-to bbq chicken recipe when we have cookouts.
Yael13 Posted: 06/09/12
I've been making this recipe for years. I keep coming back to it. I can't believe how easy it is, and it's so delicious. It's tangy and spicy, with just a hint of sweetness. Perfection! You also do not have to use it with meat. While it's great on chicken or pretty much any rib (beef or pork), it's also equally good on vegetarian "meats" such as tofu, tempeh, and seitan.

Gerard is shocked by Monica's reaction to the news.
She flinched at his words yet still said nothing. He continued "She told Bert that if I didn't pay her support for the kid she would go to the press and tell them her story. About how she was a young fan who I hooked up with after a Warped concert while I was totally wasted. How I got her hooked on drugs, raped her and got her pregnant." He started pacing the room. Her silence was killing him. "Fuck, Monica please say something?"
She finally spoke "Why in the hell would you think for one minute I would be mad at you? I know you Gee, you would never do that to a woman no matter how fucked up you were. You tried to destroy yourself with the drugs not anyone else."
He stopped pacing with a shocked look on his face, "Be fucking pissed at me Monica. I deserve it. I just told you I might have a kid. A kid born because I was such a fuck-up. No I never raped her but the kid could be mine."
Monica stood and went to him. "The child might be yours. From what you told me about Liv it might not be. Gee, if she is on drugs I don't care whose child it really is, it shouldn't be left with her. We need to find out the truth. Why is she coming to you now? Why didn't she tell you about this child before?"
He shook his head "Fuck I don't know. That night at the Christmas Gala was the first time I had seen her since we broke up. I know she could have told me anytime. Maybe she needs the money for drugs. Liv is the one who introduced me to cocaine." He hated to think of his life back then. He hated that Monica was being forced to hear about it.
"We'll fact this together" Monica hugged him "I just thank God you made it through alive."
Her attitude shocked the hell out of him. She was facing this with such strength he didn't know what to say. She seemed to take charge of the situation. "You need to talk to Brain right away on the off chance she does go to the press."
He led her back to the bed and gently pushed her down. He sat next to her "Honey, I'm sorry my past is coming back to haunt us..." He had more to say but she cut him off.
"Gee, I love you and I am determined that nothing or no one is going to tear us apart.
Your mom told me to stop being afraid and to live. That is what I'm doing. Now find Brain and tell him."
Her newfound strength was confusing him. Not that he was unhappy in any way about it but still he didn't know how to react. "Monica, are you sure you are OK?"
She smiled at him, "Yea Gee, I'm OK. I'm O-fucking-K"
He rubbed his hand over his face, "Actually that is I'm NOT O-fucking-K"
She shook her head, "You say it your way and I'll say it mine. Gee, really we will face this together. I did a lot of thinking New Years Eve. It's time I make some changes in my life. The most important one is that I'm not running anymore from anything."
He wondered if this meant she was through running from her own past but now was not the time to find out. She was focused on helping him and he needed her resolve. Once more she told him to find Brain and he went out to look for him.
When he and Brian returned to the bedroom she was still sitting on the bed where he had left her. Quickly he filled his manager in on the situation. As expected Brain was upset. However, he agreed with Monica they needed to find out if the child was really Gerard's. He would start making calls in the morning before they took off for Chicago.
Brian spoke to them a few more minutes then announced he was leaving. Gerard walked him out of the party. Once in the hall Brian turned to Gerard with questions.
"OK I don't want to add any more shit on your plate but what's up with Monica? I mean most women would be at least a little upset about something like this. She doesn't seem upset at all. Don't get me wrong I think it's great she is supporting you and all it just seems sort of out of character for her"
"Shit man, I don't know what to think. I was so fucking sure she would be upset and say she wouldn't go on the tour with me. Instead she reacts like this. I don't know what to think"
Brian started down the hall "You got yourself one hell of a woman, Gee. Give her a hug for me" He disappeared into the elevator.
Gerard walked back into the party immediately looking for Monica. Over in the corner she was talking to Ray. At first he thought she might be telling him about what had just happened but they were laughing. Once more he was struck by pure blinding emotion. God, this was what love felt like. He watched her giggle at some stupid thing Ray said. She looked up and saw him watching her. Their eyes met and she simply smiled at him. His heart seemed to stop. Ray was talking to Alicia now and Monica walked across the room to him.
He put his arms around her and clung to her like a man drowning. Once more he tired to tell her how sorry he was. She placed her finger on his lips. "Gee stop it. I told you we will face this together. Now this is a party and you need to show your girl a good time."
He smiled "My girl, shit I like the sound of that. You are my girl, more than that, you are my life." He kissed her deeply wishing they were alone.
She seemed to read his mind "When I'm in your arms the rest of the world fades away." She whispered softly. "Tonight when you hold me in your arms Gee the world will fade away and there will just be you and me. Nothing will ever change that."

Confessions of a Borderline Binge Eater
Pages in this Story:
- My Wake-Up Call
- Hunger vs. Head Games
- Falling Off the Wagon
- Is Bingeing in My Genes?
- Nip Your Next Binge in the Bud
Falling Off the Wagon
Armed with these new insights, I wake up on Monday morning determined to have a binge-free week. The first few days are fine. I follow Binks' recommendations and find that eating small portions four or five times a day does keep me from feeling deprived and that I have fewer cravings. It's not even hard to turn down my boyfriend's suggestion of going out for wings and beer on Wednesday night; I've already planned to cook us a healthy meal of salmon, zucchini casserole, and baked potatoes.
Then the weekend arrives. I'll be driving four hours to visit my sister and help her paint her new house. Leaving at 10 a.m. means I'll be stopping en route for lunch. As I speed along the interstate, I begin planning the healthy meal I'll have at Subway. Lettuce, tomatoes, and low-fat cheese -- a six-inch, not the foot-long. By 12:30, my stomach is growling; I pull off at the next exit. No Subway in sight, so I turn in to Wendy's. I'll just get the kids' meal, I think.
"A Baconator, large fries, and a Vanilla Frosty," I say into the speaker box. Apparently, along with my toothbrush, I've left my willpower at home.
I inhale the entire meal, rub my Buddha belly and try to ignore the guilt that engulfs me for the rest of the drive. To compound matters, my sister orders pizza for dinner that night. I've already ruined my diet for the day, I tell myself, gearing up for a gorge-fest. In record time, I inhale five slices.
An hour later, I can no longer stand myself. I am a failure. A failure at eating like a normal person, and a failure at reforming my bad habits. After dinner, I lie on the couch and begin moaning. My sister shakes her head at me and tries to distract me from my self-induced pain. "What are you working on these days?" she asks. I start laughing in between groans. "An article on binge eating."
I remember Binks telling me that the way I feel after bingeing is important -- and that I should try to relieve any guilt with physical activity. A brisk stroll around the block doesn't exactly ease the bloating, but I have to admit, by the time I get back to the house the guilt has lightened a bit.
What do you think of this story? Leave a Comment.
I don't enjoy binge eating in the moment and I feel ashamed of myself afterwards. I want to get better. I have pinpointed the feeling of doing it as loneliness, anxiety or guilt about giving myself time to just sit and do nothing. Eating is an activity, it distracts me from my feelings. I want to work on allowing myself to just feel those feelings. It makes me feel less alone to know that other people struggle with this problem.10/20/2013 07:17:14 AM Report Abuse
This story is very inspiring to read. I am twenty-one years old and have been binge eating for the past four years twice a week. I am considered a lean person (5'8, 128lbs) so when I tell people that I binge eat they assume that I have a disordered image of eating. Last night, I ate a normal dinner of tofu and salad, a piece of pizza, 2 calzones, a hot chocolate and a large bowl of chocolate chips. While I did this, I felt completely out of control.10/20/2013 07:17:02 AM Report Abuse
I was a binge eater as a teen, a bulimic borderlining on anorexia in my 20's, and now in my 40's I'm back to binge eating. Guilt, self-hate, disgust, misery, fear of looking in the mirror.... Thanks for sharing your story; it's nice to know I am not alone.2/25/2013 07:11:50 PM Report Abuse

1. Free Phone Consultation (30 minutes) Whether you are seeking more information for yourself or for you child, want to know more about classes or private sessions, or just curious about this work can benefit you—this is where you will want to begin. It's risk free and it will give us an opportunity to connect and learn about one another. Then together, we will determine what the next step is.
*If you are parent please make sure to have some alone time, as I prefer not to talk about children in front of them unless they are involved in the conversation.
2. Introductory Session (90 minutes) Now once we have had our phone chat, we may have decided to book at least one private session or you may be skipping this step and heading straight into the classroom.
However, if you are brand new to the Feldenkrais Method, then I highly recommend scheduling a Introductory Session. In this initial session we will have a conversation with some leading questions, do a brief hands-on evaluation, and a short Awareness Through Movement exploration. Basically, we will explore a bit of both aspects of the Fekdenkrais Method so that you have a feel for what happens both in the group classes and in the private sessions.
I will give you my honest opinion for what is possible and together we come up with a plan that works for you. This could include private sessions, classes, a combination of the two or referral out.
3. Private Sessions (60 minutes) For most people, three to six lessons are recommended to lay the foundation. Most people feel a difference after just one class or private session. But for many, the method is so gentle and so unlike anything they have done before, that allowing a little time for their ability to sense the changes can be a life changing experience.
For some, a few sessions may be all they need before they are able to use the principles on their own in a basic way. Other people study for several months or years with varying intensities. The length of your study would depend on your learning style, your physical capacities, and own effort.
Many choose to continue doing private Feldenkrais Sessions as "tune ups" on a regular basis, be it monthly or seasonally, while attending regular Awareness Through Movement (ATM) Classes or doing recorded ATM lessons at home. The longer you continue to explore movement the Feldenkrais way, the more you will learn and the more you will improve.
4. Follow-Up Consultation (30 minutes) Every person that commits to a package of private sessions, receives a 30 minute consultation. This can be taken half-way through the series to clarify any questions that are arising, or at the end of the series to sum things up or create a plan for how to continue the work at home.
5. Join The Community This happen at any stage and in a variety of ways. You may choose to attend classes to both further your learning and connect with others interested in exploring movement and life mindfully. You may decide to share the love yourself and invite your friends and family to join in the Conscious Movements fun!
Book A Session
Buffy Owens is a talented somatic practitioner. She has an extremely gentle touch that produced significant results in my structural alignment. She helped me a lot during my pregnancy and is excellent with children! I always find Buffy extremely easy to communicate with and would recommend her to anyone.
1. Free Introductory Class: Join me for a free introductory prenatal class online—held on the First Friday of every other month. The Introductory Classes are held via Google Hangouts online, so if you are new to the cyber classes then you may want to book a one-on-one consult to make sure you are ready to go.

Are Protective Labor Market Institutions at the Root of Unemployment? A Critical Review of the Evidence
AbstractA rapidly expanding empirical literature has addressed the widely accepted claim that employment-unfriendly labor market institutions explain the pattern of unemployment across countries. The main culprits are held to be protective institutions, namely unemployment benefit entitlements, employment protection laws, and trade unions. Our assessment of the evidence offers little support for this orthodox view. The most compelling finding of the cross-country regression literature is the generally significant and robust effect of the standard measure of unemployment benefit generosity, but there are reasons to doubt both the economic importance of this relationship and the direction of causation. The micro evidence on the effects of major changes in benefit generosity on the exit rate out of unemployment has been frequently cited as supportive evidence, but these individual level effects vary widely across studies and, in any case, have no direct implication for changes in the aggregate unemployment rate (due to ``composition" and ``entitlement" effects). Finally, we find little evidence to suggest that 1990s reforms of core protective labor market institutions can explain much of either the success of the ``success stories" or the continued high unemployment of the large continental European countries. We conclude that the evidence is consistent with a more complex reality in which a variety of labor market models can be consistent with good employment performance.

Musical "animators" at MSF's Drouillard Hospital in Port-au-Prince can play a key role in getting traumatized patients to open up and talk to counselors. MSF psychologists say that patients are often suffering from "accumulated trauma" - the trauma that brings them into the hospital is only the latest in a series of losses and injuries stemming from the earthquake, the ongoing cholera epidemic, and the violence that has long haunted the country. This makes mental health care extremely important; MSF offers group therapy and one-on-one counseling at Drouillard Hospital.

All About Photosynth
Learn to use this innovative 3D photo experience and create one of your own.
With Microsoft's new Photosynth, you can create an interactive 3D viewing experience using a selection of digital photographs depicting the same scene or object. Photosynth examines images for similarities and uses that information to estimate the shape of the subject and the vantage point where each photo was taken. With this information, the space is recreated and used as a canvas to display and navigate through the photos.
Microsoft's Seadragon™ technology makes it possible to browse through dozens of 5, 10, or 100(!) megapixel photos effortlessly, without dealing with thumbnails and waiting around for large images to load. This immersive viewing experience is made possible on multiple operating systems by tapping into the power of Silverlight, Microsoft's rich web application technology.
With Photosynth, you can zoom in, rotate and move through a selection of images.
Creating Your Own
Creating the best synth starts with the right photos. This will help you understand how to take photos that Photosynth can use to create the best experience. These tips could save you from taking a few hundred pictures only to find out later that Photosynth won't put them together the way you imagined.
- Start small: Pick a simple subject first, such as a piece of furniture or a single painting. You should be able to make a great 10-photo synth in just a few minutes if you follow the tips below. Then move on to something more ambitious.
- Remember the "Rule of 3": Each part of the scene you're shooting should appear in at least three separate photos taken from different locations. This rule means that you are going to shoot a lot more photos for a synth than you would for any other purpose.
- Panorama first, then move around: Start by taking a panorama of your scene, then move around and take more photos from different angles and positions. If you just do a panorama you won't end up with a good 3-D experience.
- Have lots of overlap when shooting panoramas: Try for at least 50% overlap between photos.
- Limit the angles between photos: When moving around objects, try to get one photo every 25 degrees or so. That will make the synth work better. Larger angle differences on a subject won't match up.
- Shoot scenes with lots of detail and texture: The visual texture in the photos is what ties them together. A blank wall won't synth. One with lots of art or posters will work well.
- Don't crop images: It confuses Photosynth.
- Shoot wide shots: Wide angle shots (photos taken from farther away, or with your camera's lens zoomed all the way out) reconstruct more reliably than closer shots. It's good to have close-ups, too, but you'll want to have good coverage of your subject with lots of nice overlapping wide shots.
- Orientation: Make sure your photos are all right-side-up before you start synthing.
- Shoot for Highlights: Since you can call out your best shots when you're done synthing, think about specific areas of interest you'd want to highlight.
More details and further instructions are available at photosynth.net.
Ready to Make Your Own Synth?
A few things you should be aware of:
- All synths are uploaded to the web. They're big, so you need to use a broadband Internet connection.
- Synths are by default public and will be visible to everyone on the Internet. You can set the display preference to unlisted if you do not want your synth to be public.
- Currently the "synther" only runs on Windows
- You'll need to Sign Up for a Photosynth account. It uses Windows Live ID.

I'd probably shrug off that name myself and avoid reporting it, but I can see the reasoning. It's not even a roleplaying issue, to be honest. Viewing the appropriate Blizzard support article (http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=20368) we see:
Fantasy titles should be earned through the mechanics of the game, and should not be recreated through character naming. This category includes names which:
Consist of any title prefix attached to a character's name be it fantasy-based or not (i.e. Kingmike, Presidentsanchez)
If a player is found to have such a name for their character he/she may:
Be prompted to select a new name for the character upon next login. "
Dr. is, as you noted, a title. By the basic naming conventions applicable to all servers - not just roleplaying servers - this name isn't acceptable. Again, I probably wouldn't have reported it unless his conduct warranted the scrutiny, but it IS not an acceptable name by the standards Blizzard doesn't proactively enforce.

Pandamania in Striku Elementary School
Shortly before the end of school year on the 8th of May, 2014, the Lutheran Hour visited Striķu Elementary School. In this day children from 1 to 4th grade instead of their regular classes were able to participate in the "PandaManias" event. Together with their children we lived through the story of creation and went on an improvised traveling in the belly of the fish, like Jonah. After the common games kids participated in the workshop to make pins. One pin, each participant was able to keep for himself and the other had to be prepare for a friend.
Thank you, You, Lord, for every ch
ild that we met at this school!

PandaMania travels to Asia!
On 22 of April Lutheran Hour held the Vacation Bible School PandaMania in the Day Care Centre "Generations".
There were 50 kids from all over the Riga participating. Together with LHM Directors from Asia and Europe children were able to get to know different cultures. In the beggining of PandaMania we were listening to the Bible story about Jona, who travels around in the belly of the fish. Afterwards children were able to attend different work shops – we were learning the song in Tamil, we were dancing the folk dance of Indonesia, we were folding origami, watching the puppet show from Thailand and Myanmar and playing together with the people from Cambodia and Vietnam.
It was a truly nice afternoon in this day centre, children were participating in all the activities!
Thank You, Our Lord for Your Love – You Love each of us, no matter what our nationality is or what language do we speak!

ETS Seminar "Hospitality in the congregation" in Valmiera
On 25 March, 2014 we had the third seminar "On the way to the open church. Hospitality in the congregation" .This time there were the congregations from the location of Valmiera and Cesis gathered together. In this seminar we discussed what happens if the congregation becomes unfriendly and forgets about the hospitality. There already are a lot of examples all over the Europe what happens in these cases. Churches are closed, that is the sad reality in many countries, we don't want that to happen in Latvia.
Bishop Pavils Bruvers told everyone about the concept of the opened church. The bishop reminded us 3 important things that we should remember :1)spiritual growth (prayers) 2)fellowship (we must accept those who are different than we are) 3) virtue of hospitality. We have to be kind, help each other.
The youth band "Cum Laudem Deo" of the Valmiera congregation gave joy to everyone with their performance. On the conclusion pastor of this church Arnis Buss presented the passage from the Bible – "Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling" (1.Pet.4:9)
We would like to thank the congregation of Valmieras St.Simon's church for their hospitality during this seminar!

The Seed of Faith
On 20th of March Luthern Hour went to the Day Care Centre of Latvian Ev. Lutheran Church Generations. Today our theme was Faith as a mustard seed". The children were introduced with the similarity which we can read in the Mark's chapter 4. Afterwards children had an opportunity to plant the real seed so later they can watch it grow. For a great part of these kids this was the first time ever that they did something like that. The seeds are plant now, kids have to take care of their plants and wait for the product.
Thank You, Lord for planting the seeds of faith into our hearts. Give us Your mercy, so these seeds can grow.
It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade." (Mark 4:31-32)

Statement on Drought for the 4 and 12-month
periods ending 31st January 2006
ISSUED 3rd February 2006 by the National Climate Centre
In the short to medium term, patches of rainfall
deficiencies persist in eastern Australia, mainly Queensland, the
Bureau of Meteorology announced today. Despite abundant monsoon rains
in the NT, northern WA and parts of far north Queensland, the first
four months of the northern wet season were very dry and hot in central
Queensland. In addition, rainfall deficiencies for the past twelve months
are evident in parts of eastern and northern Queensland, as well as around
the western border regions of Queensland and NSW.
For the 4-month period from October to January,
serious rainfall deficiencies, with patches of severe deficiencies, have
developed around Longreach and Barcaldine in central Queensland. In addition,
there are also smaller patches of deficits west of Bourke in NSW, close to
the Queensland border. To make matters worse,
have been very high (highest on record in many cases) during this period
over the areas with rainfall deficits.
For the 12-month period from February to January,
rainfall deficiencies are evident between Bourke (NSW) and Charleville (Qld),
around Mackay on the central Queensland coast, and in smaller patches over
far northern Queensland (mainly Cape York Peninsula). A small area in far
southwest Victoria is also affected by deficiencies over this period.
Rainfall deficiency
maps for longer periods indicate that deficiencies at the
three year timescale, which are particularly relevant to water supplies,
remain prevalent in parts of eastern Australia, especially in Queensland.
Note: The terms used to describe rainfall in these
Drought Statements have the following meanings -
Serious deficiency
- rainfalls in the lowest 10% of historical totals,
but not in the lowest 5%
Severe deficiency
- rainfalls in the lowest 5% of historical totals
Lowest on record
- lowest since at least 1900 when the data analysed begin
Very much below average
- rainfalls in the lowest 10% of historical totals
Below average
- rainfalls in the lowest 30% of historical totals,
but not in the lowest 10%
- rainfalls in the middle 40% of historical totals
Above average
- rainfalls in the highest 30% of historical totals,
but not in the highest 10%
Very much above average
- rainfalls in the highest 10% of historical totals

Gray's Leaf Insect (Phyllium bioculatum)
Also known as the Malaysian leaf insect, Gray's leaf insect is a species of phasmid that is widespread throughout Southeast Asia. They typically inhabit tropical rainforests and other areas with large amounts of vegetation. Like other members of Phyllidae Gray's leaf insect is a leaf mimic, and a good one at that they will even mimic bite marks on leaves. Gray's leaf insect is a slow-moving herbivore and will feed on a wide variety of plant matter ranging from fruits, berries, leaves and various leaves.

Dir: Jacob Cheung Scr: Eddie Fong
Orig story: Ni Kuang
Cast: Max Mok, Irene Wan, Andy Lau, Sammo Hung
1988 / Colour / DCP / Cantonese / Chi & Eng Subtitles / 88min
What happens to a eunuch when the monarchy ceases to exist and he is thrown out to the street? Based on a true story, Lai Shi, China's Last Eunuch follows the comically tragic journey of Lai Shi, from his days as a eunuch in the palace to an attempt at a normal life and somehow being involved by revolutionary parties in the civil war. Max Mok lends a much-needed degree of childish innocence in his performance of Lai Shi, a simple man lost in a nation undergoing rapidly changes. The film marks the directorial debut of Jacob Cheung, who would continue to show his concern for giving a voice to the underdogs and the underprivileged in films like Cageman (1992) and Beyond the Sunset (1989).
