Erin Strauss was the BAU Section Chief, the direct superior to SSA Aaron Hotchner. Her job lies in administration, and she had little field experience.
Strauss seemed to be under the impression that Hotch's team was disorganized and posed a threat to the BAU, prompting her to enlist Emily Prentiss to spy on the team (a maneuver that backfired when Prentiss resigned her position instead) and to attempt Hotch's removal from the BAU with a pending investigation on his methods. She backed off her attention from the team after experiencing first hand what the team lives with every case in the field (In Name and Blood) but not before making sure that they understood that none of them will ever be able to move up in any higher positions within the FBI (though this opinion appears to have been proven wrong in later episodes).
In the episode "100," Strauss conducted the inquiry into the events surrounding the actual beating to death of George Foyet. She questioned each team member in turn to get to the bottom of the situation and ensure that "a bloodbath like this never happens again." She finally questioned Hotch, who told her that he believed if Foyet were allowed to get up off of the floor, he would have killed Jack too. She effectively cleared him saying, "That's good enough for me." She also fell away from her cold and spiteful personality that was the norm for most previous episodes and sincerely told Hotch how sorry she was and that "if there is anything you [Hotch] or your son need..." she would help.
In the episode Self-Fulfilling Prophecy, it is revealed that Strauss is fighting alcoholism and that Hotch knew that she was getting help. However, it seems that she had relapsed and she tries to keep it a secret. In the end, Hotch and Morgan arrange for her to be checked in privately. In the Season Seven two-part finale Hit and Run, she is hired to supervise the hostage situation at the Colonial Liberty Bank perpetrated by the infamous Face Cards. Hotch convinces her to delay the Director's order for SWAT teams to move in. By the end of Run, she thanks Morgan for finding out about her drinking problem and even jokes to him that Morgan won't be happy when she returns to duty when he states it will be an honor to have her back, possibly her first instance at displaying humor to the team. She is present at JJ and Will's wedding and happily dances with Rossi and the team, showing that she might have become a better person towards them.
Strauss becomes more prominent in Season Eight. It is revealed in The Silencer that the newest member of the BAU team, Alex Blake, worked with her during the Amerithrax case, during which Strauss left her to take the fall when a linguistics flub led to the arrest of the wrong suspect. As a result, Blake didn't get along with her afterwards. At the end of The Silencer, Strauss tries apologizing to her, but she is turned down. In Carbon Copy, she specifically oversees the investigation into the Replicator, and by the end of the episode, she apologizes to Blake again, and this time, her apology is accepted. In Brothers Hotchner, she is abducted by the Replicator, later revealed to be a disgruntled FBI agent named John Curtis, whom she left to take the blame along with Blake following the Amerithrax case. In The Replicator, Curtis poisons her with spiked wine and leaves her to die. She is found on the streets by Hotch, and she admits that the Replicator forced her at gunpoint to drink again. She dies in Hotch's arms after begging him to stay with her as she doesn't want to die alone. Strauss indirectly helps defeat Curtis post-mortem when Rossi uses her sobriety chip to escape his trap, leaving him to apparently die in an explosion. After her funeral, the team celebrates her life during dinner at Rossi's garden, discussing happy stories of her time with them and acknowledging her as a good woman, friend, and mother.
Initially being an antagonist to the team, Strauss's opinion of the BAU appears to have changed due to her experiences in the field during the episode In Name and Blood and seeing the aftermath of the events in 100. She appeared to be very disturbed while reading the autopsy report on Haley and determined Hotch was justified in killing Foyet. She also expresses concern for Hotch in 25 to Life and that she is glad he is taking some time off. It is, however, in the episode The Stranger that she showed that all animosity with the BAU that she had once held had vanished. Strauss told Hotch that his team had dealt with terrible things in one year, namely the "death" of Emily Prentiss and the events surrounding Foyet, but that they had dealt with them exceptionally. She also told Hotch that she was taking some time off due to reasons that are believed to be personal and that she wanted him to take care of the departments under her responsibility while she was absent. Through Season Three to Season Five, Strauss changes from being an antagonist to the team, to a woman that understands the difficulties that the team goes through and has started to respect them. In About Face, she apparently doesn't believe people can be selfless. Its revealed that she is an alcoholic, something that ruined her relationship with her children. By the time of her death in The Replicator, she is over a year sober and a sponsor to other alcoholics, having developed a strong animosity for alcohol, but is forced to drink again before she dies at the hands of the Replicator.
- Though Strauss is stated to have little field experience, Morgan told the team after her death that she was an excellent shooter ("The Replicator").
- Strauss's FBI database username was "Strauss_E_218" ("The Replicator").

The Cleveland 25 Cleveland Place, 212-274-0900, NoLIta, Manhattan It's surprising to find such a sprawling patch of land in downtown Manhattan, almost enough real estate to put up another building. The Cleveland's brick-lined backyard, bordered by raised planting beds and vines creeping up trellises, provides privacy and peace. Its blue and white patio chairs suggest the Mediterranean Sea; suitably, Greek and Middle Eastern accents embroider the New American menu. At breakfast are eggs with chopped salad, labne and feta, and at lunch there's a healthy mix of sandwiches and seafood. Dinner includes roast chicken with black quinoa and seven-hour braised lamb shank with couscous. Fans of biodynamic and organic wines will be glad to find a compelling collection chosen by savvy, young owners Paul Shaked and Hudson Solomon.

Note: This question has been adapted from a Mormon young single adult Relief Society dinner discussion to fit the format of this column.
Dear Angela,
When dating, do you automatically discard the guy who isn't a member or who can't take you to the temple? He loves you, he treats you well, he makes you feel good and he respects your faith. You love him, you feel connected to him and cared for by him but he cannot take you to the temple. So, what now?
SLC YSA Women
Dear SLC YSA Women,
This was a great discussion with strong and lively opinions. A person's journey to the temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a deeply personal and spiritual one, so it can be an emotional topic.
Some women felt that if the temple is your goal, then you would never be happy with a man who couldn't take you there. Others felt like shared religions and/or standards were just one piece to a "successful marriage" equation, and even others expressed the notion that they don't want to put pressure on a relationship by always expecting his/her partner to change for them.
Like I said, very lively discussion!
We hear the phrase "choose someone who will take you to the temple," and I've always loved that counsel. It evokes this imagery of a princess being led by the hand to one of the most sacred and beautiful places on the earth and reminds us that we are daughters of a Heavenly Father who wants the best for us.
During this conversation, however, I started to imagine something new. What if the man you love doesn't know the way to the temple? Doesn't know why he would even want to go there? And therefore can't lead you? Do you give up on the "fairy tale"? Or does the story just change a little bit?
When trying to reach any destination, if you're the one who knows the way, you can speak up and say so, meaning: If he can't lead you, you lead him. Or if you both aren't sure, then walk together, side-by-side, learning as you go.
The important thing is, as a couple, having an eternal family as your goal and relying on your Father in Heaven. Maybe your path won't look the same as everyone else's, but it will be yours and it will be eternal. I'm sure it will take honesty in the relationship and time, effort and prayer (progression always does), but you don't need to automatically discard someone because they can't currently take you to the temple. You can lead the way, and your leadership will bless him and generations to follow.
This goes for the ladies and the gents.

I was in agreement until you said Poile couldn't do Ovechkin for Weber. The Preds would be falling all over themselves and couldn't call the NHL offices fast enough to accept if that offer was out there. Let's be real for a minute. Ovechkin is a name and a face with worldwide recognition. In other words, a player Nashville would KILL to have.
Carlson + Kuz us exactly what I would ask for from the Caps (assuming no acquisition of big $$ players).

Zez Confrey
Zez Confrey
Edward Elzear "Zez" Confrey was born in Peru, IL, and began to play piano at the tender age of four. Maturing rapidly, Confrey was already leading his own dance band in high school. Post-graduation, Confrey undertook a course of study in serious music at the Chicago Musical College and there became enamored of the French Impressionists, whose "modernistic" sense of harmony would play a key role in his work as a composer and pianist. In 1915, Confrey took his first professional job as a music demonstrator in the Chicago office of Harry von Tilzer's company, and there published his first songs. In 1917 Confrey joined the U.S. Navy, but got no closer to the front lines than playing in a Navy-sponsored revue called Leave It to the Sailors. During this run, Confrey cut his first piano roll for the Imperial Company, a song from the show called "Over the Top."

Two Terre Haute City Councilmen were informed of the state's conflict of interest law in a state audit published last week by the Indiana State Board of Accounts.
Councilmen John Mullican, D-6th, and George Azar, D-at large, were both informed by auditors that they must file written disclosure statements any time they sell goods or services to "the governmental entity" they serve.
Mullican, who owns Goetz Printing and Copy Center in Terre Haute, sold printing services to the city police and fire departments during 2011. Azar's Saratoga Restaurant catered a "workshop" for the Terre Haute Wastewater Utility the same year.
Mullican's sales to the city totaled $3,129, according to the audit. Azar's catering bill for the workshop was $792, "of which about $125 was labor," he stated in a response to the audit.
Both councilmen, speaking to the Tribune-Star on Thursday, said they were unaware they were required to file a disclosure before such sales, which the audit referred to as "immaterial transactions."
"I never gave it a thought," Azar said. "I just didn't think it was any kind of a conflict." Since learning of the audit, Azar said he has catered one city event, the firefighter's ball, for which he filed the appropriate paperwork. That event was funded by donations and ticket sales, Azar noted.
Mullican said he has stopped doing business with the city in light of the audit. In a written response to the audit, Mullican also stated he did not believe the rule applied in his case.
As a councilmen, Mullican said he is part of the legislative branch of the city while the police and fire departments are part of the executive branch. However, in his written response, Mullican also stated he will comply with the State Board of Accounts "interpretation" of the law "so as to avoid any question or controversies in the future."
Speaking Thursday to the Tribune-Star, Mullican said he has been doing printing jobs for the police and fire departments for many years, including years before he was elected to the Council in 2007.
"I was never a part of any decision making process for the police department or the fire department," Mullican told the Tribune-Star. "Somebody calls me for a price quote and I give them a price." Sometimes he gets the jobs, sometimes not, he added.
n As reported in Thursday's Tribune-Star, the audit also showed a large negative balance in the city's critical general fund. The audit, using an accrual accounting method, showed a $6.4 million deficit at the end of 2011 in the fund, which pays for much of the city's day-to-day expenses. City officials, using a cash-flow accounting basis, have stated the general fund deficit was $4.5 million at the end of 2011.
The cash-flow basis is the more useful, said Mayor Duke Bennett, reached Friday. The $1.9 million in additional liabilities shown in the accrual figure included expenses covered in 2012, he said. The cash-flow basis allows city officials to keep tabs on immediate expenses and pay the city's bills, he said.
"The cash fund tells us if we have enough money to pay all the bills," Bennett said.
Bennett also called attention to another finding of the audit showing the city's total assets increased by more than $6 million in 2011.
"The overall health of the city is good," Bennett said. "We've made progress in 2012."
To deal with the shortfall in the general fund, Bennett said the city is hoping to find new revenue sources, such as a potential food and beverage tax and a proposed fee for trash pickup. As far as potential budget cuts, he was not prepared to say what those might be.
"I don't want higher taxes for anybody, but we have to pay for basic services," Bennett said, adding that state lawmakers are proposing new cuts in revenue for cities and towns during the current legislative session.
n In the 2011 report, state auditors also called attention to promotional expenses incurred by the Terre Haute Fire Training facility, also known as the Vigo County Emergency Responder Training Academy, stating the city lacked the necessary ordinance governing the expenses.
In 2011, the training facility budget included $2,000 for promotional expenses. The expenses included a donation to the Terre Haute Children's Museum for the "100 Men who Cook" event, the Terre Haute Fire Department to sponsor a golf team and the Terre Haute Police Department for a golf outing. A donation was also made to the Council on Domestic Abuse (CODA) for dinner tickets, according to the audit.
Several city department budgets include promotional expenses, including the Human Relations Commission, Fire Department, Police Department, Parks Department and the mayor's office. The training facility opened in 2009.
In a written response to the audit, City Controller Leslie Ellis stated a city policy on promotional items does not exist but is being written and "will be approved by the Board of Public Works and Safety." All departments allowed to make promotional expenses will follow the new policy, she stated.
Promotional line items in the city's overall 2011 budget amounted to about $70,000. Some of those expenses are reimbursed by private donations, Ellis said.
Speaking Friday to the Tribune-Star, Mayor Bennett said he was pleased that the fire training facility, which came under criticism during the 2011 mayoral race, got an overall good financial review in the audit. State officials "reviewed that closely," he said.

Republican leaders in the Statehouse say getting rid of the business personal property tax would lure manufacturers and other big job-creators to the state. But a chorus of mayors say the loss of revenue would hit communities already struggling with the impact of state-imposed property tax caps. -

De Guzman eyeing permanent Swans deal
The 25-year-old has impressed since joining Swansea on a season-long loan from Villarreal, and he was again on form as he netted a superb second-half double in the 3-1 win over the Potters.
"If there is an opportunity I would really love to stay," he said. "I am very happy here. It's a great group, not just the players but the guys around the place, the staff and the fans. It's a family club and I really like that. There is something good happening here and I like being part of it."

Youth experience excellence at Lakelse
Through a donation from Ridley Terminals Inc. and in partnership with Excellence Seminars International, The Pursuit of Excellence Youth program was offered to youth from across the Pacific Northwest Aug. 8-10 at Lakelse.
Some of the accolades and testimonials from the young adults included: "I learned a ton about myself", "I am more willing to get out of my comfort zone", "I am going to participate more in my life, at school and with new friends". A few comments from parents included: "Kudos to the program creators", "My daughter is so positive about the changes she is going to make", "It benefited my daughter in teaching her more about herself, conflict resolution, leadership skills, just to name a few things".
Even the caretaker of the camp facility sent forward an email (and he was not involved), "What a great job Wanetta (the facilitator) and her crew did in helping these young adults feel good about themselves".
What an opportunity for 34 young adults, aged 15-19, to be able to participate in a youth development camp of this calibre here in the north. This workshop is usually offered only in the Vancouver area and only once a year.
This offering was the result of the willingness of a group who have experienced the professional and personal benefit of The Excellence Series. They approached Ridley Terminals Inc., to support the program.
The success of the youth residential workshop was also due to the volunteer contribution of a logistical support team from Rupert that included, Lori and Paul McWilliams, Tanya Jordan, Kate McWilliams, Rebecca Smith, Brianne Bartel, Khris White, Zoe Zentner and Branden Skaar.
Ridley Terminals takes great pride in promoting educational programs in the community, especially programs that allow youth to develop their full potential. A thank-you note signed by all the youth is on its way to the president and board of Ridley.
There is no doubt the ripple effect from those young leaders in the community will be far reaching!
For those wishing more information on the workshop that was offered email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.excellenceseminars.com

BK Twitter feeds grows by 20,000 following hacking
Burger King's official feed is up-and-running today and boasting 20,000 new followers, after it was hijacked yesterday by hackers who changed is branding to arch-rival McDonalds.
Burger King: regains control of its Twitter account
Burger King's first Tweet today following the hijacking was "Interesting day here at BURGER KING, but we're back! Welcome to our new followers. Hope you all stick around."
Yesterday's hackers put up the McDonalds logo and sent out messages for over an hour, before the account was shut down by Twitter.
The hackers told Burger King's 89,000-plus followers that the company had "just got sold to McDonald's because the whopper flopped".
Further posts on the account contained racial slurs, obscenities and references to drug use. No one has admitted to being behind the stunt but the hacking group Anonymous tweeted about the incident extensively.
A Burger King spokesman said: "We apologise to our followers who have been receiving erroneous tweets about other members of our industry and additional inappropriate topics."
Before the hacking, the Burger King Twitter feed had 89,000 followers, which has now grown to over 110,000.
McDonald's posted a message on its own Twitter feed which read: "We empathise with our @BurgerKing counterparts. Rest assured, we had nothing to do with the hacking."
The incident is similar to the messages sent out by a HMV employee after the struggling retailer fell into administration.

I remember my first Bluetooth headset review. I was skeptical. I felt like a giant asshole when I wore it. And I'll say this much - my opinion on them hasn't changed much. Wearing one outside of a moving vehicle or a closed office just strikes me as rude. Is it any way, shape, or form harming me when people do it? No, but neither are Crocs, and I think many of us have "feelings" about them.
I'm a big fan of cutting the cord. But this time I'm not talking about cancelling your cable and moving your Judge Judy marathons online - I'm all about going wireless in the audio department. Wireless speakers, wireless streaming, and, of course, wireless portable audio.
My Previous Bluetooth Daily Driver - Sony HBH-IS800
Up until a few weeks ago, I was using Sony's HBH-IS800, which deserves a separate review of its own if I ever get to it.
Transformer Prime owners in the U.S. are waking up this morning to a notification of a new OTA update that should bring improved Wi-Fi and Bluetooth performance, along with a new kernel. Since there's no official changelog just yet, little is known for sure what else this update packs, but we're hearing that it also brings a fix for the random reboot issue that plagued many users after the update to Ice Cream Sandwich last month.
Jawbone's popular JAMBOX Bluetooth speaker is going to be getting a younger, but much larger sibling dubbed simply BIG JAMBOX soon. This information comes from a recent FCC filing (via WirelessGoodness) which doesn't seem to reveal much of anything past the new name. However, armed with this knowledge, I was able to dig up an earlier report by iLounge which caught wind of something they called JAMBOX BIG back in November.
For those unwilling to sacrifice the latest hardware (and software) for the rather dated Sony Xperia Play's convenient physical game controls, Gametel has introduced a Bluetooth controller with a familiar button layout that will accommodate just about any Android-powered phone. Even better, the Bluetooth controller has its own battery, charged via micro USB.
Gametel says that the controller is already compatible with over 200 games, and phones powered by Ice Cream Sandwich can make effective use of built-in controller APIs.
I've been on a bit of a headphone kick lately, and have tried out a number of sets from various manufacturers. The only on-ear headphones I've tried during this time, though, have been AKG's K 830 BT's, the company's only high fidelity Bluetooth headphones. Bluetooth headphones remain a relatively young technology, and have been growing steadily as more and more computers and smartphones adopt the A2DP Bluetooth audio transmission standard.
Do you like connectivity? Well, today you're getting a chance to win what is probably the most connectable Android tablet around, the Toshiba Thrive. Our friends at Toshiba have graciously provided us with one, along with a Toshiba Wireless Keyboard for maximizing your tablet productivity.
When I first picked up my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, I didn't see any reason to pick up a Bluetooth keyboard. After all, how could a keyboard improve my tablet experience? After finally giving in and trying out Logitech's Keyboard Case, I was convinced. Bluetooth keyboards seem to make tablets infinitely more productive, and make an extremely handy accessory. The only trouble is, they seem to be rather expensive. Luckily, Best Buy has Logitech's Bluetooth Keyboard for Android 3.0+ tablets on sale for just $39.99.
In the last couple of days, I've been closely interacting with Harald Mueller, the developer behind Android Wi-Fi Tether for root users, a free and open source tethering app for Android. Android Wi-Fi Tether is pretty much a de-facto app when when it comes to tethering on Android devices that have native Wi-Fi tethering disabled (thanks, carriers), and is what I consider one of the most important apps in our supposedly open ecosystem.
This diminutive little guy is more than meets the eye. It weighs 21 grams, which is the same as the bag of the Cotton Candy it is codenamed after. The unassuming USB stick is actually an Android 2.3 Gingerbread powered device that packs a wallop. Here are its specs:
- Dual-core 1.2-GHz Samsung Exynos ARM CPU
- 802.11n Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
- HDMI-out
- microSD card slot
The magic happens when you plug Cotton Candy into a Windows or OSX device.

Is there room for punctuated equilibrium in macroevolution?
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Volume , Issue , 26 August 2013, Pages
Matthew W. Pennell, Luke J. Harmon and Josef C. Uyeda
AbstractThe long-controversial theory of punctuated equilibrium (PE) asserts that speciation causes rapid evolution against a backdrop of stasis. PE is currently undergoing a resurgence driven by new developments in statistical methods. However, we argue that PE is actually a tangle of four unnecessarily conflated questions: (i) is evolution gradualistic or pulsed? (ii) does trait evolution occur mainly at speciation or within a lineage? (iii) are changes at speciation adaptive or neutral? and (iv) how important is species selection in shaping patterns of diversity? We discuss progress towards answering these four questions but argue that combining these conceptually distinct ideas under the single framework of PE is distracting and confusing, and more likely to hinder progress than to spur it.

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Volume 26, Issue 1, 1 January 2011, Pages 30-37
Gregory P. Dietl and Karl W. Flessa
AbstractGeohistorical data and analyses are playing an increasingly important role in conservation biology practice and policy. In this review, we discuss examples of how the near-time and deep-time fossil record can be used to understand the ecological and evolutionary responses of species to changes in their environment. We show that beyond providing crucial baseline data, the conservation paleobiology perspective helps us to identify which species will be most vulnerable and what kinds of responses will be most common. We stress that inclusion of geohistorical data in our decision-making process provides a more scientifically robust basis for conservation policies than those dependent on short-term observations alone.

Tracing the Evolution of Avian Wing Digits
Current Biology, Volume 23, Issue 12, 17 June 2013, Pages R538-R544
Xing Xu and Susan Mackem
SummaryIt is widely accepted that birds are a subgroup of dinosaurs, but there is an apparent conflict: modern birds have been thought to possess only the middle three fingers (digits II-III-IV) of an idealized five-digit tetrapod hand based on embryological data, but their Mesozoic tetanuran dinosaur ancestors are considered to have the first three digits (I-II-III) based on fossil evidence. How could such an evolutionary quirk arise? Various hypotheses have been proposed to resolve this paradox. Adding to the confusion, some recent developmental studies support a I-II-III designation for avian wing digits whereas some recent paleontological data are consistent with a II-III-IV identification of the Mesozoic tetanuran digits. A comprehensive analysis of both paleontological and developmental data suggests that the evolution of the avian wing digits may have been driven by homeotic transformations of digit identity, which are more likely to have occurred in a partial and piecemeal manner. Additionally, recent genetic studies in mouse models showing plausible mechanisms for central digit loss invite consideration of new alternative possibilities (I-II-IV or I-III-IV) for the homologies of avian wing digits. While much progress has been made, some advances point to the complexity of the problem and a final resolution to this ongoing debate demands additional work from both paleontological and developmental perspectives, which will surely yield new insights on mechanisms of evolutionary adaptation.

• We provide a framework for integrating paleontological and neontological research.• Our conceptual framework shows how fossil and contemporary data can be combined.• We give four examples of opportunities arising from a combined approach.
Current patterns of biological diversity are influenced by both historical and present-day factors, yet research in ecology and evolution is largely split between paleontological and neontological studies. Responding to recent calls for integration, we provide a conceptual framework that capitalizes on data and methods from both disciplines to investigate fundamental processes. We highlight the opportunities arising from a combined approach with four examples: (i) which mechanisms generate spatial and temporal variation in diversity; (ii) how traits evolve; (iii) what determines the temporal dynamics of geographical ranges and ecological niches; and (iv) how species–environment and biotic interactions shape community structure. Our framework provides conceptual guidelines for combining paleontological and neontological perspectives to unravel the fundamental processes shaping life on Earth.

'Faith in the Scientific Age' at Bedford church
Do you feel like you have to just park your brains outside when you enter a house of worship?
If you have had similar questions you may want to attend a forum and discussion, "Faith in the Scientific Age," at Bedford Presbyterian Church on Sunday, May 5.
The speaker will be Rev. Stephen Row, a Presbyterian minister and high school science and math teacher. A graduate of Harvard University and Princeton Theological Seminary, Rev. Row has made it a lifelong passion to find harmony between the two seemingly disparate worlds of science and religion.
"I've always loved science," says Row. "When I was a young child, my father and I used to sit on the front porch and gaze at the stars. Ever since then I have been awed by the wonder and beauty of the natural universe. I made up my mind to find out more about how this all happened."
When he entered college, Row intended to concentrate in theoretical physics. That changed as he began to experience a spiritual awakening.
As he pondered a decision to enter the ministry, Row was confronted with the dilemma between his newfound faith and his scientific curiosity.
The forum will begin 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 5, following a light luncheon at noon in the Bedford Presbyterian Church Parlor, 4 Church Road.

Meaning, pushing harder is NOT always what helps you progress.
Are you the type of fitness connoisseur that thinks two classes are better than one? Are you the yogi that always takes the hardest variation in a pose even if it causes harm?
Are you the athlete that pushes yourself beyond your limits day in and day out?
From the outside, it might seem as though you are exceptional in your physical pursuits.
But, in fact, what you are doing is missing the mark in maximizing your physical potential.
We live in a world of polarity, duality, yin and yong.
If something goes up it must come down.
If you slay yourself in the gym one day, you must take it easy the next.
I didn't make the rules, its just natural law.
And the truly advanced fitness connoisseur, yogi, athlete takes an enlightened approach to exercise by not degrading the body faster than it can repair.
It takes incredible self-perceptiveness and practice to know how to go to your edges of training without going beyond them.
My advice???
Make a practice of working with the natural rhythms of your body and attuning to its needs.
Do this and you will truly flourish in more ways than just your fitness.
There is a deeper, and truly advanced exercise happening under the surface of all of this.
The exercise of Self-Honoring.

Grand Union Canal
The Grand Union Canal is Britain's longest, the trunk route of the canals, linking London to Birmingham passing through rolling countryside, industrious towns peaceful villages.
There's plenty to see along the Grand Union Canal. From the vibrant heart of London, it leads you out into the rolling Chiltern Hills, through rural Northamptonshire and Warwickshire and into the Birmingham suburbs.
The canal's striking historic features include the dramatic span of the Iron Trunk Aqueduct and the steeply climbing Hatton Lock Flight, set in charming Warwickshire countryside. The Canal Museum at Stoke Bruerne gives a fascinating glimpse into this waterway's past.
Many branches lead off from the mainline to towns along the way, making great diversions if you have time to explore. The longest of these is the Leicester Line. Others include the Aylesbury Arm, Market Harborough Arm and Northampton Arm.
The Paddington Arm runs through a lively and attractive area of West London, full of bars, restaurants, shops, Middle Eastern cafes, juice bars and a terraced canalside seating area at Sheldon Square.
The Slough Arm is an unexpectedly green and rural bit of canal, passing through the pretty town of Iver. It is a great place to escape the crowds on the nearby London waterways.

The history
The word Union offers a clue to the heritage of this canal. The Grand Union Canal was never constructed as an entity, but is the result of an amalgamation in 1929 of several independent waterways - the oldest being the navigations around the River Soar in Leicestershire, the longest the Grand Junction Canal from Braunston to the River Thames.
With further acquisitions following the formation of the Grand Union Canal Company, the conglomeration amounted to more than 300 miles, including arms and links to Leicester and industrial Nottinghamshire. But the essential component was the direct main line from Birmingham to London, of which the Grand Junction Canal and its branches formed the backbone.
Speeding up the traffic
The advent of the railways forced the waterways to adapt in order to survive. The duplication of locks at, for example, Stoke Bruerne is an early example of attempts to speed up traffic. In the 1930s a scheme to upgrade the northern section of the Grand Union became one of the last large-scale modernisation programmes to be undertaken on a canal network which, having already endured sustained railway competition, was also now beginning to be hit by the switch to road transport.
Long lengths were dredged and strengthened with concrete bank protection. Bridges were widened or replaced, and the narrow gauge locks between Braunston and Birmingham were replaced with broad gauge locks to allow passage of boats in excess of 60 tons between the Capital and the 'Second City'.
The ambitious scheme was stalled just short of target by financial pressures and the intervention of World War II. The final few locks into Birmingham remained narrow, and the canal was frequently too shallow for wide boats to pass each other. Nevertheless, large-scale commercial trade continued along the Grand Union until the 1960s, and the main line was a vital route in wartime for coal to London and materials for arms manufacture to Birmingham.
The remains of the old narrow locks can still sometimes be seen alongside their larger replacements. But although the tunnels were broad-gauge, they could only accommodate wide boats travelling in one direction at a time. As a result, the working pair of narrowboats remained the staple craft.
Working narrowboats
Coupled with the canal modernisation was an ambitious programme to build the largest fleet of working narrowboats in the country, the Grand Union Canal Carrying Company. More historic GUCCC boats survive today than from any other carrying company. But other famous names are also associated with the Grand Union, including Fellows, Morton & Clayton (FMC) - whose distinctive boats were often described as the aristocrats of the narrow canals - and Pickfords, trading on their promise to hold themselves responsible for goods committed to their care.
Are you planning a day out?
The Grand Union Canal is lined with attractions and museums, which make a great day out for all the family.

Points on a plane (self.math)
submitted 5 months ago by kickmedown
The question asks to find a point on a plane given z=f(x,y) and a vector {a,b,c}. I read the section twice it doesn't once mention a problem like this, the next section covers gradients so I shouldn't use those, so I am a little confused. Do I take the partial derivatives of the function for x and y and then set those equal to the component of the normal vector? that would make sense, but for a z coordinate I am still lost.
[–]anonymous11235 4 points5 points6 points 5 months ago
I think you need to (a) write the question verbatim and (b) post this on /r/cheatatmathhomework
[–]kickmedown[S] 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
I haven't gotten much luck there. I did leave out one detail but okay the question is: Find the points on the graph z=3x2 - 4y2 at which the vector n= {3,2,2} is normal to the tangent plane
[–][deleted] 5 months ago
i know it was crucial i didn't leave it out on purpose, no need to lecture me
[–]anonymous11235 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
Yeah, see that's a lot more clear what you want. Before you abstracted a bit too much.
Do you know how to find normals to planes? And separately, do you know how to find tangent planes to functions at a given point? It's a little trickier than that, but thinking along those lines may help.

St. Helena, California
When you play croquet at Meadowood, the Napa resort that's spread out over 250 wooded acres near the town of Saint Helena, you are encouraged to keep a wine glass in hand at all times … even if it does prevent a good grip on the mallet. It's all part of Meadowood's white-gloved country-club glamour. It's not only the croquet or the countless other activities -- from hiking to wine tasting to yoga -- that have people oohing and ahhing; Meadowood's restaurant sends foodies across the globe into reverie.

He has written a book called Twirlymen: the Unlikely History of Cricket's Greatest Spin Bowlers.
Sunday 19 May 2013
Half a lifetime ago, when I played there for London Schools, I was convinced that Arundel was the most beautiful ground in all England.
The home of the Duke of Norfolk's XI is what you might show a Martian who was looking for England and had a spaceship to catch. Set near the castle, this bowl-shaped amphitheatre looks like it was designed by some celestial giant who, having scooped three and a half acres out of the Sussex countryside, felt guilty about the scar and so covered it with the most beautiful thing he could imagine.
There are trees all around, giving a feeling of seclusion – almost privacy – except for one side, where a large gap unveils the most glorious view of the Weald. No shortage of visiting batsmen have made a mistress of this horizon, fancying their chances of dispatching some trundler for a huge maximum, only to find their stumps flying.
The 15th Duke of Norfolk built the ground in 1895. His daughter-in-law, Lavinia, responded to the death of her husband Bernard, the 16th Duke, by setting up the Friends of Arundel Castle Cricket Club. They completed an indoor school in 1990.
This triumvirate – aesthetic beauty, glimmering heritage, and investment in the future – always made Arundel seem to me unsurpassed among the hundreds of cricket grounds I have seen over the years. And yet, over the past year – and yesterday specifically – I've become convinced that there is a ground in England which surpasses even Arundel for sheer visual enchantment.
Wormsley is a name that conjures Kenneth Grahame or Lewis Carroll; and when the late Paul Getty conjured this ground two decades ago, there was something childish and make-believe about his vision. Just past the road to Stokenchurch, it sits high above sea-level in the unspeakably beautiful undulations of Buckinghamshire – a view shared by the red kites who duck and weave high above.
What strikes you is a majestic simplicity; carved into the rolling hills, the view from the pavilion is split-level, a green surface under an alternately blue or grey sky. One end is known as the Dibley end, because it's just a few fields from where they filmed "The Vicar of Dibley". The pitch itself is at a sunken level, creating an embankment where hundreds of spectators can gather, and often do. A large, thatched pavilion is adorned with images of the greats who scored hundreds here, Brian Lara among them.
I played here for the first time last year. My side, Authors CC, were up against the always Tory-heavy Lords and Commoners XI, and as we drove in yesterday for this year's fixture, the ground seemed yet more exquisite and unimprovable than I remembered. Tim Munton and Mark Foster have done a superb job in maintaining it, preserving an isolated spot of Arcadian beauty in just the manner Getty would have wanted.
I realise that describing Arundel and Wormsley as two of England's most beautiful grounds is hardly original. But the point is that all cricket fans have their favourite grounds, dramatic spots with a special claim on their affections. And unlike Arundel and Wormsley, most of those are completely unknown to the wider public.
Avorians CC near Cobham in Surrey, for instance, is a stunning, tranquil place – and yet most fans have never heard of it. Lynton and Lynmouth in Devon, Frogmore in Berkshire and Armadillos CC's ground at Sheffield Park all could claim to be among England's most beautiful grounds.
And where else? If you think you've seen a contender for the title of England's most beautiful cricket ground let me know via Twitter and I'll report back in a few weeks.

Budget now for spring break trips
With spring break around the corner, affordable vacation plans are on many people's minds.
Bobbie Shaffett, family resource management specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, said early planning is the key to budgeting for a vacation. She suggested that would-be vacationers calculate the expected cost of transportation, lodging, meals and entertainment, then compare that figure to the amount the budget will actually allow.
Ideally, travelers will have enough lead time to calculate the amount needed for the trip, divide the anticipated total cost by the number of pay periods before the vacation and determine how much to save from each paycheck.
