Coconino Community College
As the recently elected President of the Coconino Community College Foundation, I would like to thank all of those before me that have made the Foundation a powerful force in changing the lives of Coconino County residents.
The Foundation, the 501(c)(3) arm of the College, began only two years after the College was founded in 1991. It now provides over $70,000 in scholarships to more than 50 students and projects at the College. The Foundation is still in its infancy, in many ways, and is now under the umbrella of the Office of Institutional Advancement.
Participants in this year's Annual Meeting, Alumni & Awards Breakfast play a role in the success of the Institutional Advancement Office and ultimately, the Foundation. The Foundation Board is charged with supporting the mission and vision of Coconino Community College, through it's expertise, guidance, asking for major gifts, and the stewardship of donated funds and grants received by the College. The Foundation's Scholarship Committee, comprised of local volunteers and staff, oversees the scholarship process from application to awards. Your contributions, both large and modest, and the contributions of all supporters in Coconino County, are the fuel that feeds the Foundation, enabling the Board and the Advancement staff to do their jobs effectively and efficiently.
I look forward to serving the Foundation as President and working with the CCC leadership team, as well as all of you in the communities we serve. Together we will build an even stronger Foundation continuing the hard work of those that have given their time and financial support the past 17 years.
- Kevin Stephens, President, CCC Foundation
CCC Executive Director of Institutional Advancement Scott Talboom
Just two years after the College was founded in (1991), the CCC Foundation was established (1993) as a non-profit 501 (c)(3) and has had outstanding board and staff leadership, as well as broad-based community support, these past years. As Coconino Community College roars into it's 20's, the CCC Foundation will need to play an even larger role in the success of the College.
The hard work, encouragement and outstanding stewardship of those who created the Foundation leave us with the pillars on which to build an even greater organization - an organization that will help the College, and the learners we serve, thrive in a competitive world in the next 20 years and beyond.
The CCC Foundation is now part of an overarching department called Institutional Advancement. Think of the Advancement name as an umbrella covering Alumni, the Foundation, Development, Grants and Major Gifts, Marketing and Public Relations. All of these units are now part of a department charged with working cohesively to move the College forward by supporting students, faculty and staff through fundraising and marketing.
The potential of Institutional Advancement is great; we have only recently begun to develop an alumni program, asking our alumni to become an active part of our future. The grants and major gifts unit is also in its infancy and has great potential to bring in financial support from federal grants, Arizona-based and national foundations, and individual donors. These gifts and grants will help us expand capacity for our learners in the face of disappearing state aid.
Through strategic partnerships we can increase our efficiency, but still the bulk of our success depends on all of us in our communities who believe that an educated citizen is a better citizen, and necessary for public safety, economic development and humanity through the arts. Our success depends on everyone who believes that access to higher education for more of our citizens should be a priority. The Institutional Advancement staff is an important part of this process, and will need continued support from the Foundation Board and community volunteers and donors to accomplish our very ambitious goals. As your new Director of Institutional Advancement I am excited to be a part of this dynamic department, and proud to serve such an incredible institution. Changing people's lives for the better on a daily basis is a priviledge I will not take for granted. I look forward to working with all of you and playing a part in the success that we will achieve together as the College celebrates it's 20th anniversary.
- Scott Talboom, Executive Director of Institutional Advancement
Greetings! As you know, the 2008 - 2011 strategic plan for Coconino Community College was developed and approved by the Governing Board in May 2008 and embraces the following goal statements:
GOAL 1: By June 30, 2011, CCC will develop and establish sustainable funding options and optimize the utilization of existing resources.
GOAL 2: By June 30, 2011, CCC will improve the use of technology to enhance learning.
GOAL 3: By June 30, 2011, CCC will build greater awareness of its services throughout the District and collaborate with community partners to promote the economic health and vitality of the County.
GOAL 4: By June 30, 2011, CCC will incorporate more innovative strategies to enable achievement of individual learning goals.
GOAL 5: By June 30, 2011, CCC will establish a high quality workplace which values its employees and promotes a learner centered environment.
I am pleased and proud to announce that by December 2010, CCC had accomplished 62% of the 2010 - 2011 initatives, and as of June 2011, 93% of the 93 discrete tactical initiatives had been accomplished! This kind of success, in light of the many budget challenges, is nothing short of amazing!
Some examples of the many successfully completed initatives include:
As you can see, much has been accomplished and we are excited to complete this calendar year wrapping up strategic plan initatives as we await the results from our Higher Learning Commission site visit in November 2011!
As Foundation members, Friends of CCC, and members of the Coconino County community, you can feel proud that your community college is offering outstanding service with long-term sustainability as its focus. I look forward to working together to craft the next Coconino Community College strategic plan for 2012 - 2015. A sincere "THANK YOU" for all of your continued support.
- Dr. Leah L. Bornstein

-- Hello welcome to -- -- I'm Dr.
Low carb low fat gluten free Begin you name it.
There's a diet plan out there for you but if you like many Americans.
Even with total commitment.
You may not have success with the diet my guess that says is not your fault you may have been following the wrong diet for your metabolism.
All third of the -- dirt farmer diet solution.
Doctor -- opponents joins me today thank you Monica being here thank you I gotta go on the record I think that you are -- one of the best.
Persons -- medical doctors.
That really knows a lot about metabolism diets you know and you know we have a relationship for long time your book we just -- just came out of this is agreeable to have you break down.
Folks into two groups I guess.
The hunters.
And the farmers what's the difference.
Yes of these people are really very different kinds of people and they need different eating strategies different -- to lose weight and to get healthy -- and hunter is the one who's putting on -- more around the middle to -- that's more belly fat -- to -- that kind of got -- I'm like all right you maybe hunter.
And then -- the farmer to farmer puts on weight more under the skin and -- the hits the thigh area and those people need different diets to lose weight so.
-- and I tell right off the bat as I'm gaining weight you know as I got older because I I don't know I think I started as a farmer and the and I ended -- -- hundred happened -- happen right so I can like other things that I that I need to know about myself to identify that we'll.
Some -- your blood -- simple blood test can also help for example the blood sugar the triglycerides you've heard -- -- right well the hunters have higher triglyceride levels that's one of the fats in the blood.
Right very helpful very helpful also you may know.
Low HDL is typical but -- -- good cholesterol level is low with the hunters and the opposite.
But I farmers so that so there's a metabolic characteristic of metabolic footprint that's right and you could think of the hunter is the sort of pre diabetic.
Type of person and the farmer doesn't have that tendency right.
The so I guess and -- I know what you -- -- I guess what you say it is.
Before you go on the Internet and then picked the latest of the blogging -- from Hollywood.
Pop up.
Go see somebody.
-- go see your doctor Lucy you know we agreed to a four or read the book and and get that analysis -- No question because you're there lot of ways to lose weight of course is the grapefruit diets all the fad diets -- -- But if you want to do it right and get the right -- first you really need to know which type -- There's always that needed that cliche.
That we say well you know what eat less and exercise more and you gonna lose weight but sometimes that's not the case.
You know it's great to be great if that were true but unfortunately exercises and always make us lose weight you know we go to the gym we burn 300 calories and then you know -- happens you have a sports drink.
-- -- You know granola bar and their brother 300 calories and you know when you exercise of course your little hungrier than it so exciting though it's important and you got to do that to stay healthy.
It doesn't usually produces much weight loss as we'd like not eating less that's true you know for -- way we do have to eat less right question is -- -- less of everything or eat less of something.
Right any answers you need eat less of something and before you know what.
You should eat less of you need to know -- you're right.
One of the things that you we find the -- which I think is very important for people to know that's why this is important for you to buy the book.
Is that you talk about -- the different types of people but if you know whether -- -- -- reformer.
You could also address.
It had preventable diseases that are unique to those individuals -- -- about that.
That's why I like it so much is that and that's because it helps me as a doctor to know what to prevent right.
The hunters are heading for more heart troubles they're -- get high blood pressure.
Heart disease may be stroke later in life so that's what we really need to prevent -- -- hunters -- diabetes.
On the former site actually they live in today's world about five years longer and they don't get as much heart disease.
Of course you gotta get something so they get more cancer right.
Do you want to be.
A hunter or a farmer or do you wanna be neither what what's the goal here yet well if you wanna be hunter you -- eat like a -- If you wanna be a farmer you wanna eat like a farmer it's when the hunt treats like a farmer or vice Versa then we have -- problem oh yes so a hunters no better no worse than a farm as long as you're eating right.
Now hundred years ago believe it or not it was better to be a hunter.
The -- is actually have a little edge on longevity that's -- food was little scarce or background right if true this issue wanna be hunter if through his abundant you'd rather be a farmer okay.
-- people would say and but again.
-- full disclosure I think that this is one of the finest books ever.
Why did you write a -- Being that there's so many diet books out there.
There are so many -- -- and you know the reason I wanted her at the books because this is something that people are overlooking and that is there's two types of people they need to different -- approaches right so you have to know yourself like that that's the bottom line.
If you gonna die and -- and you wanna do -- properly.
You have to learn about your metabolism because -- two.
No no an and that's the cliche you can -- -- -- to time this guy who worked for me.
It didn't -- feel and and that's and that's nice -- out at a time right but -- with the right person right that could work more apparent what can people get more information you can by the book it's on -- -- dot com as well you can visit the website all right thank you for coming -- -- great.

Comments about Carhartt J130 Active Jac Flannel-lined Sandstone Duck:
delivery great
Great coat
By Adam
from PA
I bought this same coat eight years ago from Gemplers and it took all kinds of abuse until the zipper broke off last week. I enjoyed that coat so much I bought another one just like it.
Just right for NC
By Habitat Homee
from Raeford, NC
See all my reviews
I bought this coat as a winter coat here in NC. Combined with a wool sweater it should get me through the coldest nights. Gempler's description on it's construction was right-on. I think I bought the right coat, but only time will tell.
Want to wear it all the time
By Pat Gardener
from Charlottesville Va
Other staff have this coat, and for good reason. Lightweight warm and impervious to wind and drizzle. So comfortable I want to sleep in it.

I'm Glad I Bought This Outdoor Jacket!
By Peter Rabbit
from Bedford, NY
I am using this jacket for outdoor work and am very pleased with it. The tough, sturdy fabric resists thorns and prickers; the lining keeps it warm despite wind. It is surprisingly light for the protection it gives. So far the only drawback is that the zipper works badly, but silicone lube spray is helpful. I think this jacket is the best I have ever had for outdoor work.

This is our second one - we bought a too hard mattress for home and this saved it - then we had to move temporarily for my husband's job and moved into a very nice furnished apartment - but we were there 4 months when I went home for a visit (slept in our bed @home) and realized just how awful the bed at our temp apt was - bought another one of these and I am sleeping great!! You could put this thing on the floor and sleep great! Didn't smell - unrolled it at 3m and put it on bed at 6pm - slept on it that night. Can't say enough - you won't regret this buy! Even my husband who like firm - loves this - I like soft and it is great for us both.
It states 4 in memory foam topper, however only an inch to an inch and a half is actually memory foam. The other 2 1/2 to 3 inches is just regular cheap foam. If you really want a good memory foam pay the extra 50 bucks and get the full 4 inch memory foam.
I have purchased Serta memory foam toppers over the years as they wear out. I did not notice the smaller print that the memory foam was so thin. Instead of 4" of memory foam as this topper should be, Serta has decided to cheapen this topper by using regular foam with a thin layer of memory foam on the top of it, and only on one side to boot. Even sorrier of Serta is the fact that they do not cut the king size true to the shape of a king size mattress. They cheat you out of a good 3", which for tall people that need every inch of a king size, means your feet hang off the topper. Way to go corporate America (Serta)! Cheapen your products, charge more, and pocket the huge profits!!!
I was not pleased with the one ounce memory foam topper as it has limited quality for support. I wish I had done my homework to locate atleast a five ounce or even nine ounce memory foam. I predict that afer one month or less, I will not even know there is a topper on my bed. This has been a poor purchase, in my opinion.
I have been looking at these foam mattress toppers for a year and finally decided that it was worth it to try one rather than buy a new mattress. It came tightly wrapped in plastic and I unwound it on the floor and let it sit as the instructions stated for 24 hours.One of the main things I noticed was there was "no smell" to this product. I have a keen sense of smell and would not be able to use it if there was a chemical smell on it. We put it on our king size bed under the fitted mattress cover and it fit fine. It made our bed seems much higher but the sheets fit too.After the first night I felt an amazing difference when I woke up. Being skeptical, I waited for another night to see if my husband felt the way I did. We both agreed that we were waking up without the usual back aches and pains we had been experiencing. We both are sleeping better and waking up refreshed after a good nights sleep.We are thrilled with it and highly recommend this mattress topper to anyone!
I got exactly what I paid for. They aren't the highest quality on the market, but they are comfortable enough to sleep on and are a fair price
This is so soft. I purchased this for my friend who has cancer and she loves it. She was not sleeping very well because of her illness and her mattress but this topper has made it possible for her to sleep much better!! Now I can't get her out of bed.
Very firm, but top layer conforms to body as advertised. High quality. Great value.
We purchased a foam topper a few years ago from Overstock and loved it. It eventually wore out and we searched for a new one. This one sounded like a good one because of the two layers. We thought it would last much longer than the last one. We didn't realize it was so firm. We flipped it over to put the harder layer on the bottom and it is still a very firm foam topper. If very firm is what you want, this is the one for you. We are finding it too firm and uncomfortable but this item is too big and awkward to return. I will have to get another one soon. Not sleeping well on this one.
I was so excited to get this topper, and I hate that I'm disappointed in it! I tend to do my research before making purchases, but somehow I failed on this one. As others have stated, only 1-1.5" is memory foam, the rest is just plain foam that does nothing for me. Waste. Honestly though, that's not really what bothers me... it's the fact that the topper is a FULL FIVE INCHES SHORTER THAN MY QUEEN MATTRESS, and about 3" narrower. I just saw another review for a King memory foam topper that says the same. That pisses me off so much. I want my topper to fit. I guess you should get the size up and cut it down? This topper is for a full-size bed, not queen. I don't know who these 5 Star raters are, or maybe just some toppers are too small, but I would never re-purchase this. I wish I could send it back, but it's too much of a pain to try to fit it back in the box and carry it to the post office. Overstock/Serta Fail.

Daina, when you say "drive by" interpretation, were you referring to Romney's apology allegations that didn't exist? The man has no compassion whatsoever for his fellow Americans.
Zane, what you and Romney may feel or believe has nothing to do with facts. Hundreds of years ago, people believed the world was flat but believing did not make it a reality neither does believing almost half the country pays no taxes. That's ridiculous of any sane person to believe it. Where is Romney getting this misinformation?
Yeah, it's accurate all right, Thom. I agree....he didnt' say they were losers...that's the liberal media offering the typical "drive by" interpretation. Many of that 47% feel they are entitled. Govt. owes it to 'em! Romney wants to grow the economy and develop jobs to give these people a leg up. Hell, sounds great to me! Let's roll! Romney 2012!
sorry zitt, but if anyone buys anything they pay a tax you on the other hand since you want to talk responseability are you going to rehire all the americans you've destroyed? i only hope i get 2 meet your sorry redneck/republican/selfrightous/punk/hide behind your billionares, come to cali punk @ least then i'll have a job finally punking your snobish rich punk ass
I am sorry but I didn't hear him say anything about them being loser. He said what a majority of the people believe. There are people that live off the government. I feel as though it is the truth. This a poorly written article and very bias.

RCW 9.94A.140 Restitution.
(1) If restitution is ordered, the court shall determine the amount of restitution due at the sentencing hearing or within sixty days and may set the terms and conditions under which the defendant shall make restitution. Restitution ordered by a court pursuant to a criminal conviction shall be based on easily ascertainable damages for injury to or loss of property, actual expenses incurred for treatment for injury to persons, and lost wages resulting from injury. Restitution shall not include reimbursement for damages for mental anguish, pain and suffering, or other intangible losses, but may include the costs of counseling reasonably related to the offense. The amount of restitution shall not exceed double the amount of the offender's gain or the victim's loss from the commission of the crime. For the purposes of this section, the offender shall remain under the court's jurisdiction for a maximum term of ten years subsequent to the imposition of sentence. The portion of the sentence concerning restitution may be modified as to amount, terms and conditions during the ten-year period, regardless of the expiration of the offender's term of community supervision and regardless of the statutory maximum for the crime. The offender's compliance with the restitution shall be supervised by the department.
(2) Restitution may be ordered whenever the offender is convicted of an offense which results in injury to any person or damage to or loss of property. In addition, restitution may be ordered to pay for an injury, loss, or damage if the offender pleads guilty to a lesser offense or fewer offenses and agrees with the prosecutor's recommendation that the offender be required to pay restitution to a victim of an offense or offenses which are not prosecuted pursuant to a plea agreement.
(3) In addition to any sentence that may be imposed, an defendant who has been found guilty of an offense involving fraud or other deceptive practice or an organization which has been found guilty of any such offense may be ordered by the sentencing court to give notice of the conviction to the class of persons or to the sector of the public affected by the conviction or financially interested in the subject matter of the offense by mail, by advertising in designated areas or through designated media, or by other appropriate means.
(4) This section does not limit civil remedies or defenses available to the victim or defendant.
[1987 c 281 § 3; 1982 c 192 § 5; 1981 c 137 § 14. Recodified in 2001 as RCW 9.94A.750.]

On the heels of restructuring All-World DE DeMarcus Ware yesterday, the Dallas Cowboys are continuing to reshape the cap numbers for their 2013 version. Word has come out that Dallas has restructured the contracts of TE Jason Witten, along with those of last-year free agent guards Nate Livings and Mackenzy Bernadeau. These moves are made with the intention of Dallas getting under the projected $122-$123 million cap. UPDATE: Clarence Hill, Jr. of the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram has just indicated that the club has reached an agreement with Brandon Carr to restructure his deal and knock off an additional $10.5 million of cap space. The restructure was already built into Carr's contract last year, as his 2013 salary of $14.3 million was fully guaranteed.

Have you ever noticed that whenever our illustrious authors here at Eleven Warriors refer to OSU's current ranking, it's a little lower than you thought it was? That's because (for reasons that have never been made clear to me), Eleven Warriors uses SB Nation's BlogPoll rankings instead of the AP Poll rankings. Numerous times this season, I've seen commenters try to correct the ranking given in an article only to be told Eleven Warriors uses BlogPoll, not AP.
Well, it may be time to ditch BlogPoll. Friend of the site Luke Zimmermann, who runs "Land Grant Holyland," the OSU website affiliated with SB Nation, recently wrote an article sharing his frustration with the way that his fellow SB Nation bloggers have treated OSU in their voting. He points out that 8 of the SB Nation bloggers have refused to even include OSU in their rankings at all! Check out the article here: http://www.landgrantholyland.com/2012/11/22/3679018/ohio-state-one-of-two-undefeated-teams-7th-blogpoll-top-25 .
If even SB Nation blogger Luke Zimmermann is fed up with SB Nation's BlogPoll, then why are we still using it here? I say it's time to boycott BlogPoll here on Eleven Warriors. Let's start using the AP Poll instead. What do you think?

Grand Forks doctor uses technology to reach patients
Katie Tharaldson of Roseau, Minn., has three little faces at home, the result of pregnancies well-managed despite challenges from diabetes and the fact that her doctor is two hours away.By: Pamela Knudson, Grand Forks Herald
Katie Tharaldson of Roseau, Minn., has three little faces at home, the result of pregnancies well-managed despite challenges from diabetes and the fact that her doctor is two hours away.
She and Dr. Eric Johnson, of Grand Forks, a family physician and assistant medical director of the Diabetes Center at Altru Health System, overcame those hurdles by using technology that allowed him to closely monitor her condition.
Tharaldson, whose children are 5, 2, and 9 months, was diagnosed at age 10 with Type I diabetes, a disease that can pose significant risk in pregnancy.
During her pregnancies, she would see Johnson once a month in person in Grand Forks.
But between visits, every week, she downloaded her blood-sugar readings to a computer and sent them to Johnson for review.
If adjustments were needed, he would call or email her the same day, she said.
"It was short and fast (communication). For the doctor, there's no better control than being able to do that."
The data were captured and stored in a sensor that was attached to a pump which continuously delivered insulin to her bloodstream.
Doing the work of a pancreas, the pump releases dosages of short-acting insulin which kicks in consistently, she said.
"You can set the settings (on the pump) for times when you have a greater need" for insulin.
Johnson kept a close eye on her blood-sugar levels, in part, because she would have extreme lows, which is unusual in pregnant women, she said.
The chief advantage of being able to keep such frequent contact with the doctor was fast turnaround, so as "to not let things spiral out of control," she said. "You're not playing catch-up. The care is consistent."
Diabetic women can have large babies. Health professionals watch the developing fetus closely for any signs of risk, she said. "I had all safe pregnancies. They were all 8 pounds-plus and three weeks early."
In the years since her first pregnancy, diabetes-related technology has come a long way, she said. With each pregnancy, she grew more comfortable and secure about using it.
She was one of the first to communicate her diabetes data this way to Johnson, she said. "With the second pregnancy, I didn't have as many questions. And with the third, I was laid back and was doing more self-monitoring."
This type of communication is "much more slick," she said. "I have no complaints.
Embracing technology
While some physicians may shun technology or social media to connect with patients, others, like Johnson, are embracing it.
He connects with patients via email, as long as they understand it may not be secure, he said. "They may be having trouble understanding a complicated data set or question on an insulin pump."
He also communicates via Facebook which features information about diabetes.
He does not use Twitter, but does text-message his patients who are having problems, he said. His patients can also reach him on his personal cellphone.
Altru's comprehensive electronic health record, "from an efficiency and consistency standpoint, is outstanding," he said. "It helps us with the chronic disease management process."
He can remote-access the system from anywhere there's an internet connection or laptop, he said, and review medication lists, lab values and chart notes from other providers.
"Soon, we'll be able to access the record on smartphones as well."
Altru patients can access aspects of their own health records through a secure portal called MyHealth. They can also communicate through that system.
"If there's something they don't understand, say, a question about lab values, they can find out through messaging," he said.
Launched about a year ago, MyHealth provides lab results, immunization records, appointment scheduling, prescription renewal, growth charts, among other features.
Johnson also produces "very focused" educational pieces for providers and students on iTunes which can be accessed on a personal computer, iPhone or iPad, he said.
He covers a dozen diabetes topics, each running five to 10 minutes in length.
Johnson also expects more use of telemedicine for diabetes care, he said. That technology is not good for an initial evaluation but is useful for typical chronic disease management.

Has Mark Jackson recreated the mid-2000s Suns in Oakland?
Tuesday, May 14th, 2013
In the NBA, organizations always go through cycles, with periods of great success that often come to a dramatic, and sometimes ugly, close. That's the reason why the recent extended success by franchises such as the San Antonio Spurs is so shocking. It is for this reason that, especially for tormented franchises as Golden State and Phoenix, periods of success are remembered so fondly and vividly. Neither franchise has won a championship since 1975, and neither have even reached a NBA Finals since the '93 Suns took the Chicago Bulls to 6 games. (more…)

Some of the most amazing wines and spirits in the world are found at the most elegant resort in this nation. Yes, we are speaking about the King and Prince Resort, which has been highlighted in so many areas – everything from a primo golf course to spectacular dining experiences to having the most luxurious rooms and accommodations possible. Each week readers wait to be taken by the hand to the Golden Isles of Georgia to meet, greet and fall in love with even more amenities that King and Prince Resort provide their guests.
When it comes to this stunning locale, not only do the spirits of the guests and staff soar about as high as possible, seeing as that everyone is basking and relaxing in the lap of luxury while staring out at the stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, but King and Prince also goes one step further to provide the best 'spirits' to go along with that amazing mood shared by all that makes you wish your vacation would never come to an end.
On St. Simon's Island, spirits are being served that are truly set in a 'celebrity' and 'historical' world, as well as being the 'best of the best' when it comes to taste and aroma. And not only does this particular winery we are speaking about produce new lines and breakout 'hits' in all wine categories, but it also has a very close relationship to a man we all honor and remember for his brilliant imagination – Walt Disney.
The Miller Ranch and Silverado Vineyards is family-owned and operated. This very prominent family is part of the 'Disney' group. Founded by Walt Disney's daughter Diane and her husband, Ron Miller – who was Walt's right-hand-man, Silverado has nothing to do with theme parks and everything to do with pure and utter taste.
Now the parents of seven, and grandparents to fourteen, Ron and Diane have retired and do not actually work the winery. They do, however, sit on the Board, taste the new brands as they come out, and truly throw their love and support behind the family legacy.
The family's fingers are in various areas of the wine-making business. In fact, the label used on the bottles is actually a creation that came from the perspective of Walt's great-granddaughter, Annabelle Miller. The scene is of Annabelle's great grandmother's home overlooking the vineyards. This pencil/graphite sketch shows the 'down-to-earth' feel of the artisans who work the vineyard and represents the winery's true and utter balance between tradition and the future.
Winemaking, actually, has an amazing history; perhaps even more amazing than Disney's own legacy. It was over one hundred and twenty years ago that a man by the name of Robert Louis Stevenson actually wrote about his journey into what was then the wild country of the Napa Valley.
Living and writing from inside an abandoned home which was situated on the barren Silverado mine site, Stevenson truly spoke about what he saw for the future. The Gold Rush was not exactly a dream come true for a great many, and Stevenson thought that mines were not only a thing of the past – but that the world of wine was the wave of the future.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by ShoeBuyer My son likes them!
This is our second pair for my 8 year old son. They are easy to put on. He does not need to ask for help to tie them. He has weak ankles and these boots, with the inserts to correct his steps, have been a great help. Only thing they can improve on perhaps is the soles. Last pair lasted about 3.5-4 months - got a hole in the sole, he drags his feet, but the top is intact.
September 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sperrymom Great Overall Boot!
The soles flex easily. They are lightweight and extremely durable. The sole is also like that of a gymshoe which makes it very versatile. This is the second year in a row that I have purchased these boots from Sperry. The styles have been slightly different from year to year but still great!

We were hoping— without much basis in anything resembling reality— that the L28ET-powered 3rd-gen Firebird
When a team decides to build a 1956 Renault 4CV race car with mid-mounted VW Fox engine and BMW 1800 suspension, for 500 bucks... well, sometimes such an ambitious project isn't quite ready when the green flag waves.
Eyesore Racing, the only three-time LeMons champions in history
I don't have time to shoot many photos of the cars while I'm sniffing out Cheatonium-239 components in LeMons cars, so I let my CHDK-hacked camera shoot a photograph every 15 seconds. Enjoy.
Somewhere between Denver and Kansas— actually, at High Plains Raceway in Colorado— the LeMons Supreme Court spent Friday checking alleged $500 race cars for possible cheating and/or general awesomeness. Some of the former, vast quantities of the latter!
As we get closer to the aptly-named B.F.E. Grand Prix 24 Hours of LeMons in Colorado next weekend, I decided to pay a visit to the team building the first-ever LeMons Marlin. All I can say is: Ho-lee shit!

The Crypt Bookie has been doing great, but I think we could up it a little more. We should have a separate thread for each of the main events on each fight card with more better options then usual. Like whose going to score more takedowns then who, and how many submission attempts, or who lands more strikes than the other. These are a little more risky than our typical bets so its only natural that the pay out is greater, but not by much since theres generally a 50-50 chance you could get money or not. I would say maybe x1.5 or x2
---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------
Wouldn't be a bad idea either to offer a "Donate" button. Maybe give like 10,000 Crypt Cash for One Dollar. Its a lot, but it lets people know they can support the site and that your not trying to make a profit off of it.

- How to Read a Study Record
This project has the long-term goal of designing and validating a psychometrically sound inventory of PTSD-related functional impairment for active duty service members and veterans. The inventory will include assessments of multiple dimensions of functional impairment and their impact on quality of life and explicitly show how PTSD symptoms are related to functional impairment. By creating and validating an inventory to assess PTSD-related functioning--as they are perceived and reported by active military personnel and veterans--we hope to offer a useful tool for clinicians, researchers and military leaders. A measure of PTSD-related functional impairment will have enormous value from a health care perspective in terms of identifying individuals with the disorder and for promoting more efficient allocation of resources and efforts towards those who are in most need. We anticipate that the end product of this study, an efficient, empirically-based measure of PTSD-related functional impairment will have an immediate impact on the assessment and treatment of military-related PTSD, in terms of promoting more efficient allocation of resources and efforts towards those who are in most need. Such a measure will also assist with PTSD-related compensation and pension procedures and decisions by providing a means to more accurately assess PTSD-related functional impairment.

Curtis lives out of a suitcase and his diary reflects it. He's always seems to be on an plane travelling or in front of a camera filming. But he wouldn't have it any other way. See what Curtis is up to (and where) with a glimpse into his diary blog.
People ask me all the time for gluten-free recipes and I always point them to quinoa. It's the ancient grain that has it all. Healthy, flavourful and so simple to cook, it deserves a place at your dinner table whether you're going gluten-free or not. Quinoa isn't technically a grain. We call it that because you can use it like rice, barley, couscous and pasta. But quinoa is actually a seed from the quinoa plant and thousands of years ago, Inca warriors in South America relied on the nutrient-packed seed for power. We now know why. Unlike grains, quinoa is a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. It's also an amazing source of antioxidants and heart-healthy fatty acids, which remain intact even after cooking. But the best reason to start eating quinoa is the flavour. Cooked quinoa has a delicate, fluffy texture and a slightly nutty flavor. The most common variety is white and looks deceptively like couscous or millet. But red and black quinoa are popping up more often these days. As a rule, the darker the quinoa, the more crunchy in texture and nutty in flavor. Cooking quinoa couldn't be easier. Add one cup of quinoa and two cups of water or stock to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to simmer for 15 minutes. The white variety will become a translucent body with a little spiral tail and the seeds will stick together a bit. The red and black keep more of their seed shape when finished. Don't panic and add more water to the pan, they're supposed have a sturdier texture. Longer cooking won't soften the seeds more. You can use all three varieties of quinoa interchangeably in any recipe. As a guide, think of the white as a good substitute for rice. While lighter in texture, it has a similar creaminess that works in stir fries, soups, casseroles and warm side dishes. Some people even like it as a hot cereal, in place of cream of wheat or oatmeal. The texture of red and black quinoa makes them a beautiful addition to cold salads; they won't go mushy when tossed with vinaigrette. These types also shine when paired with smooth, buttery foods like avocados, winter squash or creamy cheeses. Black quinoa has a slight fruity flavor that underlies the nuttiness, so try it with citrus fruits and pears.
Store uncooked quinoa in the fridge in an airtight container. It should keep for 3 to 6 months.
Rinse quinoa before cooking, using a fine-mesh strainer. This removes any bitterness from the seed's coating.
Grind quinoa seeds in a coffee grinder to make gluten-free flour.
Toss into spinach or arugula salads with peaches and almonds.
Add eggs, breadcrumbs and grated cheese to cooked quinoa and form into patties. Sautee in a pan like a burger.
Top quinoa with a roasted vegetable hash and serve with a poached egg.
Serve quinoa under grilled asparagus or green beans. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil before serving.

Join us on April 5, 2013 for the Third Annual Gender & Communication Conference! 2:30-7:30 PM in Grise Hall.
About the Gender & Communication Conference
The Third Annual Gender & Communication Conference is a special opportunity for WKU students to gather and thoughtfully discuss topics of gender and how it relates to them personally and globally. WKU Faculty and Staff presenters will engage students to critically think and discuss how these topics apply to their everyday lives. Students will walk away with new insights and tools to effectively work and live with others in today's society.
Session Schedule
Session I
A.) Social Constructs Within the U.S. & U.K. Cosmopolitan Magazines - Grise Hall 134
Presented by Heidi Sisler - Explore the representations of femininity, masculinity, sexuality, and whiteness within the pages of the U.S. and U.K. Cosmopolitan™ Magazines. We will discuss how these representations act as indicators for the types of social, cultural, and political environments which create and distribute them and to explore the relationship between the ideologies held within those environments and finding evidence of those ideologies in the language and images of these magazines.
B.) Gender in the Media/Gender Stereotypes - Grise Hall 135
Presented by Zuri Thurman, Stephanie Lott, and Sharminic Washington - It has been said, "Whoever controls the media controls your mind." Do you believe
this is true? Could you be subconsciously brainwashed daily? In this presentationw
e will uncover how the media influences gender roles and stereotypes from Disney movies
to candy commercials.
Session II
A.) BRAS4CUBA: A Gender Service-Learning Project for Women by Women - Grise Hall 134
Presented by Tracy Jo Ingram & Meghan Kennedy - Explore the gendered implications of running a nationwide service learning project
developed for women, by women. Bras4Cuba began as a local donation drive for feminine
hygiene products and undergarments for women in Cuba that quickly gained considerable
attention in which gendered response patterns emerged.
B.) Gender & Community - Grise Hall 135
Presented by Crystal Hardeman and Lauren Cunningham - We all wear different hats. We are students, learners, teachers, men, women, leaders,
club members, daughters, sons from different backgrounds and places. How do we as
individuals navigate through our communities within our various roles while remaining
true to who we are? Join our interactive conversation about identity, gender, and
C.) Across the Lines - Grise Hall 143
Presented by Tim Gray - This session is designed to improve racial, cultural, and gender role understanding
within our university and global community through personal awareness, student engagement,
relationship building, and honest communication among students from various cultural
belief systems. Throughout the session we will cover a vast array of intriguing and
controversial subjects in an effort to encourage diversity of thought, perspective,
and approach to create an open and inclusive environment where both professional and
personal objectives and growth can be met.
Session III
A.) Gender Through Generations: Your Code, Past, Present, and Future - Grise Hall 135
Presented by Minnette Huck and Alicia Golston - Come join this interactive presentation as we explore how gender has changed throughout
several generations. Each participate will get to experience what is was like to be
a different or same gender in a different time period. This interactive discussion
based presentation will allow students to explore their own gender code as it relates
to their generation and what it means for their future.
B.) Social Media and its Effects on Courtship - Grise Hall 138
Presented by Jeff Long and Sarah Rigsby - The rise of social media has greatly impacted the way in which individuals communicate with one another. Romantic communication is no exception. This session will examine the impact of social media, dating websites and texting on courtship in the twenty-first century.
What Past Participants Had to Say:
"Made me wish I took 'Gender Communications' when I had the chance, and made me more aware of what I'll face post graduation."
"I really enjoyed this and I am definitely coming back next year."
"Great. Unedited. Refreshing."
"it was insightful, entertaining, and fun!"
"I thought it was a really good interactive session. It was a comfortable environment where people could speak up. It got to a deeper, a typical level, where you could talk about things not generally pointed out."
"I learned that people are just like me; we struggle with the same things when it comes to gender whether we are male or female. It was interesting to me that male as well as females struggle with self image."
"(I learned) to learn others' point of view and not to immediately respond without them finishing. (I learned to) honor people's decisions regardless of their beliefs, (my) beliefs; accept them for who they are."
*To guarantee a t-shirt and other conference items, please register by 4:00 pm Monday, March 25, 2013. Registration will remain open, however these items cannot be guaranteed for conference participants after this date.
