Poppy Delevingne's Modeling Pictures
Poppy Delevingne Reveals Her Next Move
Poppy Delevingne Reveals Her Next Move
Poppy Delevingne says she's not only ready to make a career change, but she's also leaving the UK to do it. "I'm off to Hollywood to try my luck as an actress," the model — and recently engaged sister of fellow Burberry face Cara — recently told the Daily Mail. "I've always wanted to be in films and I'm not sure I can stay a model forever."
And though Delevingne is definitely not the first model to make the switch to acting, she does already have a little experience under her belt. In 2000 she played the lead in the romantic short Perfect, and more recently in 2009, she had a small part in the Philip Seymour Hoffman period comedy Pirate Radio.
A look back at some of our favorite Delevingne modeling moments here, in the gallery.

Newer Business Jets Added to Adelaide and Sydney, Australia Late-Night List
March 3, 2015
Australian officials have added more than 80 business jet models to the list of aircraft allowed to operate during late-night curfew hours at Adelaide and Sydney airports The new list of variants deemed quiet enough to takeoff and land during curfew include Bombardier Challenger 600s, the Dassault Falcon 7X, Embraer's 500 and 505, Gulfstream 650ER, and many other models manufactured since the previous Sydney list was published a decade ago and the Adelaide list in 2000. NBAA welcomes the news from Australia that will provide additional operating flexibility for businesses seeking access to Adelaide and Sydney airports. Read more.
Temporary Exemption for Australian ADS-B Formalized as Mandate Takes Effect
Dec. 16, 2013
A Dec. 12 deadline was established by Australia's aviation authorities for all domestic and foreign aircraft to be ADS-B equipped and compliant for both private and commercial operations when flying at or above FL 290 within the Australian continent. Because of the complexity of obtaining certificates and installing the required equipment on aircraft, the authorities are allowing for temporary exemptions from the mandate in certain airspace. The exemption period runs from Dec. 12, 2013, through Dec. 11, 2015, and will not be extended under any circumstances. Learn more.
Australia Proposes Temporary Relief for ADS-B Requirements
Sept. 30, 2013
Operators flying in Australia may be able to take advantage of an exemption that would allow a two-year period of temporary relief from the ADS-B mandate set to take effect Dec. 12, 2013. On that date, all flights operating at FL290 and above will be required to be ADS-B equipped as part of an effort to help air traffic management cope with increasing air traffic in the upper altitudes. However, due to concerns from several aircraft manufacturers over delays in providing factory supported supplemental type certificates for the equipment, Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority is prepared to allow certain operators within defined airspace the ability to request a temporary exemption.

Considerations for Those With Business Missions to Japan
April 18, 2011
Should those using business aviation to reach Japan and other Asian destinations be concerned about exposure to dangerous levels of radiation as the nuclear crisis in Japan continues to unfold? While the situation requires continued monitoring, "There is no out- of-the-ordinary risk," according to Dr. Glenn Fjoven, a professor of nuclear and radiological engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. In this week's edition of the NBAA Flight Plan podcast, Dr. Fjoven and others who have coordinated recent missions into Japan share their perspectives. Read more and listen to the podcast.
NBAA Welcomes China's Move Toward Open Airspace
February 11, 2011
Over the more than 3,000,000 square miles of U.S. land area, only a tiny volume of airspace is restricted for civilian flight, and much of that is available when not in use by the military. Over China's similarly sized land mass, virtually none of the airspace has been available for civilian flights, at least not without multi-layered government pre-approvals that have been known to take weeks. Now, that seems to be changing. Learn more and view a map of the test site.
Operational Trial of 30/30 Separation Standards in Oakland OC3
October 3, 2005
Effective on December 22, 2005, at 0901 UTC, the FAA will introduce an operational trial of 30 nm lateral and 30 nm longitudinal (30/30) separation standards in Oceanic Sector 3 (OC3) of the Oakland Oceanic Flight Information Region. The policies, guidance and direction are available for download in PDF format and also will be published in the October 27, 2005, edition of the FAA Domestic/International NOTAM book. During the trial, the Oakland Air Route Traffic Control Center may apply 30/30 in OC3 between aircraft/operators meeting the aircraft equipage and authorization requirements stated in paragraph 4 of the notice. The trial will affect eligible aircraft operating between airports in the U.S. and those in Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and Tahiti. The FAA will post the notice on its Oceanic Procedures Branch web page within the next two weeks, and the page will be expanded to include documents such as the FAA, Australian and ICAO policy documents for operators to obtain authorization for RNP-4 operations.

Mr. Farley has experience preaching to and teaching high school and adult students (IBE). "Teaching in general is both a challenge and a delight that reaps wonderful benefits. This is certainly the case in regard to teaching the Bible. No other subject is more intellectually stimulating and personally applicable to both teacher and student. I pray that my students will grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ as a result of the high school Bible module series."
Mr. Manuel Mendoza is excited about the privilege of teaching students the Bible. He accepted Christ as his personal Savior at the age of 14. It wasn't until he was 21 years old that he knew the Lord's calling for his life was to preach His Word. "The Bible can convert the soul of the unbeliever, and it cleanses the soul of the believer. The Bible is important for our times, and, therefore, it must be taught accurately. For me, teaching the Bible is a great joy and privilege. My desire is to help guide your student through a life that is pleasing to Jesus Christ. My goal is for the student to strive for holy living by developing sound convictions based on God's Word."
Mr. May enjoys teaching from God's Word. "God's Word is powerful. It convicts, encourages, challenges, and strengthens the believer--and it is still the final and absolute authority for us today. All of God's Word is just as relevant and applicable to us as it was to those to whom it was originally written. For these reasons it is exciting and challenging to teach the Bible to your student. My goal is that each student will deepen his knowledge of God's Word, better understand how the Bible applies to him, and grow in his relationship with Christ."

Why Would You Need Hospital Valuation?
If you run or own a hospital, you have to go through a lot of different things in order to make sure that you can actually get things done and taken care of. Because of that, there are a lot of various things that you are going to take care of on the daily. What are you supposed to do then? Is there really anything that you can try to do or to take care of?
Actually, one of the most important things that you will need to deal with is hospital valuation. What is hospital valuation and why is it something that needs to be taken care of on a regular basis? What do you need to do in order to make sure that your hospital valuation is up instead of down? That's a good question, let's take a look.
What is hospital valuation?
One of the biggest questions that people ask is what this is in the first place? What does it even mean? In short, you're talking about everything that comes along with the value of the hospital. How much is it worth? What does that look like for you? Does it mean that you will be able to continue to thrive in your community, or are you going to have to make changes in order to make sure that you can actually go ahead and achieve the goals that you want to achieve for your community and your employees? That's what will get looked at.
What is Included?
The facility's condition. How does the facility look? Is it in the best condition that it can be in? Does it look like somewhere that can be trusted? And is it something that is actually going to help the community instead of making it harder for people to go ahead and get the health care that they need?
Market share. How much of the market share are you going to have access to? Do you have a lot of income from the market or is the income coming from elsewhere? If you're a privately traded company, are you trading well and does it look like you will continue to do so as time goes on? These are the sorts of questions that you need to answer and that you are going to work toward when you see it.
Income. How much are you making and where is that money coming from? Is it consistent? Are you staying afloat or are you starting to see that it's going to be a little bit of a struggle when it comes time for you to actually go ahead and get what you need in the world of income?
Contracting. Do you contract out at all? How do you do it? How do you pay them?
How Can You Get it Checked?
There are a lot of ways that you can go ahead and get it checked, but you want to go through an agency that is actually going to give you the resources that you need in order to feel confident about everything that you're doing. Not only that, but you also want to make sure that they know about the industry and will do all that they can so that you don't have to worry about any other issues that may come up. They can talk to you about what is wrong and how you want to move forward with the whole idea.
No matter what you may be trying to take care of or figure out, it's a good idea for you to go ahead and call an appraiser that can help you with your needs and how you plan on dealing with it. That being said, if you need to learn more about an appraiser and how they can help you to achieve your goals, you want to give us a call. We can help you to get one that works for your needs and that will allow you to know more about your hospital and how it is working to help the community and make it thrive as needed. Contact us today to get started and to see what you can do when it comes time for you to go ahead and get things done.

No one injured in Nashua condo blaze
April 23. 2013 8:54AM
NASHUA -- No one was injured Tuesday morning in a one-alarm blaze at a condominium complex on Cadogan Way.
The fire was reported at 5:11 a.m. in the middle unit of a five-unit, 2 1/2 story building at 9 Cadogan Way at Meadowview Estates.
According to Nashua Fire Rescue officials, arriving firefighters discovered heavy smoke coming from the basement where the fire started.
Those inside the unit were already out of the condo when firefighters arrived. The rest of the building was then evacuated.
Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze, confining the fire to the basement area. Smoke and heat damage were limited to the condo where the fire started, although adjacent units had minor smoke damage.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Nashua Fire Marshal's office.

Dave D'Onofrio's Patriots Notebook: Consistency is Pats' priorityDAVE D'ONOFRIO
December 26. 2012 11:14PM
When their team finishes doing battle with the Dolphins Sunday evening in Foxborough, Mass., the foremost subject on the minds of football fans across New England will be the playoffs. It's still possible the Patriots could finish anywhere from first to fourth in the AFC, depending how two several key match-ups play out, so the postseason permutations are numerous. And interesting.
But just because it'll be the first thing on everybody else's mind doesn't mean playoff seeding will be the Patriots' first priority on Sunday. Nor should it be.
If New England had handled its business in a more confidence-fostering fashion last Sunday in Jacksonville, rather than struggling to survive as a 23-16 victor over the lowly Jaguars, then perhaps the it could approach its regular-season finale with a broader view.
Had the Pats played well in that game, followin up on a good second half against the 49ers, then maybe they could keep an eye on the out-of-town scoreboard and try to manipulate the final seedings by giving a less-than-full effort if that's what they believed would render the scenario most in their favor.
However, the Patriots lost that right last weekend. When they "played pretty terrible" and were "lucky to win," according to Tom Brady, their focus became more introspective than extrinsic. Coupled with 35 bad minutes against the 49ers a week earlier, when they fell into a 31-3 hole, their performance in Jacksonville made clear that before they worry about match-ups and matters beyond their control, the Pats must first reestablish the high level of consistency they'd developed over a seven-game second-half winning streak.
The reemergence of that kind of consistency would mean far more to their playoff chances than any possible seeding could.
"It's always about consistency," New England coach Bill Belichick said on Wednesday. "I think you can look at every team in the league and find good plays and players doing things really well. These are professional football players. They're very talented. They can do a lot of things. The good teams, the good players - they do them more consistently.
"It's not about talent as much as it is consistent performance - teams and individual players."
The nature of football's postseason puts a particular emphasis on consistency given the way one subpar week - sometimes even one weak half or quarter - can spoil the six months of work it took to get there. There are no second chances, no best-of-seven series, no opportunities for redemption. It's one-and-done.
And if the Patriots play like they did last week, they'll be done no matter which of the other five AFC playoff teams is standing across the line of scrimmage.
So while the Patriots certainly know what's at stake in all the relevant contests, none should matter more to them than their own against Miami - and how seriously they seem to take that test is likely to show whether they understand that.
"I'm sure we'll all be aware of (the scenarios), yeah. No question," Brady said. "But I don't think that changes what our goal is for the weekend. I think we're trying to win this game regardless. It could be different if some other teams win, but that's really out of our control. We're just going to go out and try to win."
That wasn't overtly the case back in 2006, when the Patriots seemed to lose their regular-season finale on purpose in order to give themselves a better wild-card round match-up. And there are some who think the Patriots could benefit from letting the Dolphins beat them again this year if things don't go their way in Sunday's early games.
If Houston beats Indianapolis and Baltimore beats Cincinnati, some believe, the Patriots would give themselves their best chance of a long playoff run by losing and thereby dropping to the No. 4 seed. That assumes the Chiefs are incapable of pulling off a shocker over the currently top-ranked Broncos in Denver.
Under this scenario, New England would host a wild-card tilt against rookie quarterback Andrew Luck and the Colts, whom the Pats trounced at Gillette Stadium in November. Then, assuming Baltimore beat Cincinnati in the other AFC prelim, it would mean going to Houston instead of the mile-high and Peyton Manning-filled air of Denver in the divisional round.
Of course, if Houston loses to Indianapolis on Sunday, the Patriots could bypass the first round altogether merely by beating Miami. Or, if Houston and Denver both lose, a Patriots win would give them both a bye and home-field advantage throughout the AFC tournament. Or, if Houston and Denver both win, but Baltimore loses to Cincinnati, the Patriots are locked in as the No. 3 seed and will face the Bengals, no matter how they fare against the Dolphins this weekend.
Clearly this could still go a number of ways - none of which is fully within the Patriots' own control, and that should only accentuate the need for them to focus this week on the one thing they can dictate. That's attacking with playoff urgency the way they practice, the way they prepare and the way they perform on Sunday.
"I think it's about playing consistent football, and I think we've got to do a better job of that," Brady said.
"It hasn't been as consistent as we would have liked, but we've still got a chance to improve it."
And before they can focus on what lies ahead, the Patriots first must take full advantage of that chance.
Patriots Pro Bowlers
Seven New England Patriots have been named to the Pro Bowl, including Rob Gronkowski, Logan Mankins, Jerod Mayo and Vince Wilfork as starters for the AFC team. Tom Brady and Wes Welker were selected as backups, while Matthew Slater was named as the AFC's representative on special teams.
Peyton Manning, who led all players in fan voting, is the AFC starting quarterback. Brady has been named to a team-leading eight Pro Bowls. The game will be played Jan. 27 at Aloha Stadium in Hawaii.

When probation ends, sheriff gets gun backBy MARIA L. LA GANGA
Los Angeles Times
November 23. 2012 7:00PM
SAN FRANCISCO - This is what it's like to be Ross Mirkarimi, the love-him-or-hate-him sheriff of San Francisco.
Mayor Edwin M. Lee isn't talking to him. Women's advocates are considering a recall. A band of Mission District healers wants to restore him to spiritual health during a drumming and dancing commemoration of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Toward Women and Girls.
Oh, and he probably won't get his gun back until he's off probation.
It has been quite a year for Mirkarimi, starting with the revelation that he had grabbed his wife during a New Year's Eve fight, bruising her arm and leading to misdemeanor charges of domestic violence.
The sheriff eventually pleaded guilty to one count of false imprisonment and is now more than halfway through 52 weeks of domestic violence counseling. He will be on probation for three years.
Instead of ending the political theater, however, Mirkarimi's plea - which he now seems to regret - set off months of public furor. The mayor suspended him without pay. The city Ethics Commission voted 4 to 1 that he had committed official misconduct and should be removed from office.
But Mirkarimi's former colleagues on the Board of Supervisors instead voted last month to return him to the helm of the Sheriff's Department, after listening to hours of angry testimony from the sheriff's supporters, who questioned just what constituted domestic violence and attacked the advocates who work on the behalf of battered women.
"We all have disagreements with wife," declared one man. "That's our thing."
"All the things you domestic violence ladies say is nice and needs to be said," a woman said. "But go and find the women who really need to be helped, the ones who are shot, stabbed, beaten. Eliana doesn't need your help."
The Eliana in question is Venezuelan telenovela star Eliana Lopez, Mirkarimi's wife, with whom he has since reunited.
Now the mayor and District Attorney George Gascon want Mirkarimi to recuse himself from any responsibility that could possibly intersect with victims or perpetrators of domestic violence.
That's an awful lot of turf in the realm of San Francisco law enforcement.
The department oversees widely praised counseling programs for batterers. It supervises inmates who have been charged with domestic violence. Deputies serve restraining orders that protect battered women.
The sheriff also is responsible for disciplining deputies who have been brought up on domestic violence charges.
"As a result of your probationary status for a domestic violence crime, there is a clear conflict of interest," Gascon wrote to the sheriff last month, after Mirkarimi was reinstated with back pay. "As a result, you are not able to adequately perform the duties of your office that relate to crimes of domestic violence."
Mirkarimi emphatically disagrees. This week, during an appearance at the Commonwealth Club of California, he told the audience that such a point of view was "wrong in every aspect." If his nearly yearlong ordeal "has changed me, it's changed me for the better," Mirkarimi said when asked about whether he could be objective in his job. "What they're getting wrong is the fact that rarely does any matter related to a program or a policy about domestic violence reach the desk of the sheriff." Should that happen, he told Lee in a letter this month, "the matter will be determined independently by the Undersheriff with no input from me."
When asked about his deeply strained relationship with the mayor, Mirkarimi said he would "continue to send him love letters." He vowed not to back down from "doing the work on behalf of the people as I was elected to do."
It has been awkward, the sheriff admitted, to "communicate through the Chronicle," finding out how the mayor feels about him on Page One of San Francisco's biggest newspaper, responding in kind in the next day's edition.
But Mirkarimi wasn't beyond sending a message to Lee via the Commonwealth Club appearance, which will be broadcast in coming weeks on KQED Public Radio.
"I think that it's best that we do meet," Mirkarimi said. "I invite him to choose a venue that he would like. I'll meet with him in public. We'll have a public discussion, maybe in a forum like this. ... Because I believe he wants the same things as I want."
"Maybe some things, but not that meeting thing."
Said Lee spokesman Christine Falvey: "The mayor will meet with the sheriff when there is something to meet about." Until that time comes, she said in a text message, "the sheriff should be focused on the many public safety agencies that have concerns about his status as a probationer and overseeing intervention programs."

A call came into the CravenCommunicationsCenterabout 1:30 p.m.Friday that there was �a large dead animal on the highway on N.C. 101.�
A call came into the CravenCommunicationsCenterabout 1:30 p.m.Friday that there was �a large dead animal on the highway on N.C. 101.�
The species wasn�t identified but it could have been any of many deer, bear and fox struck over the holiday by vehicles in the area this fall.
John Robert Stephenson of Four Oaks was hunting black bear on game lands off N.C. 101 earlier in the day with his dogs, a combination, some mixed, of Plotts, Blue Ticks, Walkers and Beagles.
�The Plott is the state dog,� he said. �That breed started in the mountains of North Carolina.
According to the N.C. Secretary of State website, the Plott Hound breed did originate in the N.C. mountains around 1750 and is the only breed original to the state and one of just four of American origin. It was bred to hunt big game, especially wild boar, and named for Jonathan Plott.
Stephenson�s Plotts were used in his PittCountyhunt last week when he bagged a 660-pound black bear.
The largest black bear on record, about 880-pounds, was killed in CravenCountysome years ago not far from the PittCountyline.
A State Highway Patrol dispatcher in Williamston dispatcher said animal strikes have so far been the most frequent Thanksgiving holiday wreck calls in this area.
�Animals are out in large numbers,� agreed 1 st Sgt. Kevin Rock. �We have animal wrecks year round but this time of the year we have increased incidence compared to summer months. At this time they are moving more since winter is part of their mating season.�
Thanksgiving is peak hunting season also and that also keeps the animals moving but Rock said he doesn�t think hunting is a strong contributor to the increased animal-related accident numbers.
Asked what drivers can do to prevent an animal hit, Rock said, �The lucky ones can see the deer or animal coming but most often you never see it until you hit it.
�If you are fortunate enough to see, reduce speed and be aware they can jump into your path quickly,� he said. �They jump a long way and fast. Reduce speed and be aware. Do not swerve to miss the animal. It�s much better to strike the animal than run off road and perhaps have an even greater accident.

An accused person's right to a fair hearing is a cornerstone of American justice. But that right has been increasingly undermined in the nation's overburdened immigration courts, which have been starved of resources and stretched far too thin in recent years.
There are too few judges, and each is required to handle a crushing caseload. In Los Angeles County, for example, a typical immigration judge had more than 1,600 proceedings on his docket last year. By comparison, judges in federal court in Los Angeles, who are also considered by some to be overburdened, each handled an average of 446 cases.
And the backlog is growing. Consider the Los Angeles immigration court, the busiest in the nation. Since 2008, overall caseloads have increased from 38,000 to 52,000, yet the number of judges has grown from 25 in 2008 to just 31 today.
A recent report by the Justice Department's inspector general found that the strain on the courts has led to delays and inefficiencies that all too often force defendants to wait months, and sometimes years, before being allowed to make their cases to a judge. These defendants are all fighting deportation, and they include people seeking political asylum as well as legal residents convicted of misdemeanors. Many who are forced to endure long delays have never been convicted of a crime.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A mentally disabled Colorado man is fit to stand trial in the killing of a Montana teacher who disappeared after going out for a morning jog, according to a Friday ruling from a state judge in a case that has highlighted the social changes brought by an oil boom sweeping the Northern Plains.
Citing testimony from a state psychiatrist, Montana District Judge Richard Simonton indicated that the mental disabilities of Michael Keith Spell, 25, were mild enough that he could understand the case against him.
Spell is charged with the attempted kidnapping and murder of Sherry Arnold, 43. The Sidney High School math teacher was killed in January 2012 after going out for a morning jog. Her body was found more than two months later, buried in a shallow grave in a rural area of neighboring North Dakota.
Prosecutors have said they intend to seek the death penalty against Spell.
Co-defendant Lester Van Waters Jr., who was implicated by Spell as the killer, pleaded guilty in a deal with prosecutors that calls for him to testify against Spell.
Under that deal, Van Waters, 50, would escape a potential death sentence.
Experts for the defense said during a March competency hearing that Spell gets easily confused and is prone to forget even basic facts within minutes. They said that leaves him unable to meaningfully participate in the complex murder case, and noted that he was previously declared incompetent by a Colorado judge in a drug case.
But Simonton sided with the conclusions of Dr. Virginia Hill, a psychiatrist from the state mental hospital in Warm Springs who evaluated Spell when he was sent to the institution for testing last winter. Hill said Spell had matured mentally since the Colorado incompetency ruling, and he had benefited from being off drugs since his arrest in Arnold's murder.
"In Hill's opinion, Spell's adaptive functioning over the years has improved," Simonton wrote in his 16-page ruling. "The court agrees."
Lead defense attorney Al Avignone said Hill lacked the qualifications and expertise needed to fairly evaluate his client.
"We remain firmly convinced that Michael Spell is incompetent. Over 30 years I've had thousands of clients, and this is the first time I've had the opinion that my client is incompetent," Avignone said.
Avignone said he was considering filing a petition to the state Supreme Court to review the ruling, but he had not made a final decision.
The prosecution had cast Spell as a manipulative if mentally challenged conniver, eager to reduce his punishment by playing up his intellectual disability.
Spell's attorneys have not disputed he was involved in the events leading up to Arnold's murder, but they maintain that there is no conclusive evidence he was the one that killed her.
If Spell were ruled incompetent, the charges against him could be dismissed, and he would be committed to a state institution with the potential for eventual release.
Arnold's sister, Rhonda Whited-Rupp, said the prospect that Spell will stand trial "takes a load off" for her family.
"I know that will make my folks feel better, and me too," she said.
A trial date has not yet been set.
Still unresolved is whether Spell's disabilities — which both sides in the case describe as mild — will spare him the death penalty. A 2002 U.S. Supreme Court ruling banned the execution of mentally disabled defendants as cruel and unusual punishment.
Simonton said he was deferring a decision on that issue, but he addressed it indirectly in Friday's ruling.
"The court, with three justices dissenting, held that intellectually disabled criminals are not subject to the death penalty," Simonton wrote. "It did not say that intellectual disability equates to incompetency."
The case has unfolded against a backdrop of spiking crime rates in eastern Montana and neighboring parts of North Dakota, where an oil boom has transformed agricultural communities.
Court documents, including law-enforcement affidavits and testimony from Waters, said the defendants arrived in Montana in search of oil field jobs after a drug-fueled drive from Parachute, Colorado. Arnold died after Spell choked or otherwise asphyxiated her during an attempted abduction, according to prosecutors.
Following her disappearance, hundreds of Sidney residents turned out to search for Arnold, a popular teacher and mother of two who grew up on a ranch just outside town. The circumstances of her killing cast a pall over the once-quiet town now bustling with oil patch traffic.
Former Sidney Mayor Bret Smelser, a friend of Arnold's family, said a trial would help bring closure for the community.
"If this helps move the process along, the sooner the better for most of us out here," Smelser said. "It's taken a toll on the survivors because it's gone on so long and the outcome isn't predictable."

$800,000 sought for projects in New London
New London - As the city grapples with where to find millions of dollars to fix up municipal buildings in need of roofs, gutters, heating systems and structural repairs, the City Council will consider Monday new requests for another $800,000 to update computers, install surveillance cameras downtown and make improvements to City Pier to allow tall ships to tie up there safely.
City Council President Wade Hyslop, who also is chairman of the Finance Committee, said Friday the council needs to determine how it can fund the much-needed infrastructure repairs and what should be done first.
"We're going to have put together a capital improvement plan and figure out what to prioritize," he said.
The city is under orders from the local health department to repair a broken steam pipe and clean up a room filled with mold in City Hall, a project that could cost more than $50,000. It is looking at a decaying recreation center that needs a new roof, a fire headquarters that doesn't meet building codes and a high school that is not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
On Monday, the Finance Committee will look at other projects that the mayor's administration wants to move forward. The Finance Committee meets at 5 p.m. in City Hall, followed by the City Council at 7 p.m.
Tammy Daugherty, director of the Office of Development and Planning, is seeking about $300,000 to install a fendering system, bollards and mooring hardware at City Pier to accommodate large ships. Daugherty said the work needs to be done by spring, when both the Coast Guard barque Eagle and Mystic Seaport's Charles W. Morgan are expected to spend several days at the city's waterfront.
In 2012, the city re-opened the 350-foot pier behind Union Station following a $5 million reconstruction project. Timbers that support original pilings, which were installed in 1939, were replaced. The new design was supposed to allow 100-foot boats to dock at the outer ends of the pier.
Hyslop said it is not clear if the requested improvements were part of the original reconstruction project and weren't completed, or if they are new proposals. The money would be bonded, which is a long-term loan.
Another $300,000 bond request would cover the costs of designing and installing a video surveillance camera system throughout the downtown area, a program that Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio first proposed when he was elected in 2011.
Deputy Police Chief Peter Reichard, who has been actively working on the mayor's Public Safety Camera Initiative for several months, and Finance Director Jeff Smith, are asking the council to sign a contract with Omni Data Solutions of Woodbridge to design and install a "turnkey system." Omni already has contracts with Manchester, Bridgeport and Madison.
"Because of the complexity of designing and installing a modern ... video surveillance system we feel it would be in the City of New London's best interest to piggy-back off contracts entered into by similar Connecticut municipalities," the pair wrote in a Jan. 29 memo.
The proposed system for New London could include up to 40 cameras placed throughout the downtown area.
The city's Information Technology Department also is seeking about $200,000 for five separate proposals to replace old and nearly outdated computers and software systems, and to purchase 10 new in-car video cameras for police cars. The IT department also wants to update the city's computer servers and replace outdated 6-year-old firewalls that are in place to prevent hackers and other Internet threats.

"All I Really Need to Know, I learned in Kindergarten"
"All I Really Need to Know, I learned in Kindergarten"
- Robert Fulghum, 1988
Fulghum's simplistic recipe for learning important life skills at an early age sparked the imagination of the United States and the world. His slim collection of essays was on the New York Time's Bestseller list for nearly two years. Sixteen million copies have sold. It's been published in 27 languages in 103 countries. Millions around the world seemingly heard his clear, straightforward message.
Unfortunately, Fulghum was off by a few years!
New research confirms that important life skills are learned at an even earlier age than kindergarten. Such skills are fostered every day in classrooms serving infants to 5-year-olds, here in San Joaquin County and around the U.S. And, once learned, they carry over into adulthood.
James Heckman, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, was shocked by results from a failed adult job-training program when trainees were deficient of what Heckman calls "soft skills." Soft skills include paying attention, being able to focus, being curious and being open to new experiences. At the top of Heckman's list are two very important ones - being able to control your temper and not getting frustrated.
Heckman adds that you don't get these skills in high school, middle school or even elementary school. You get them in preschool.
When a curious journalist visited a high-quality preschool in Brooklyn, the teacher pointed out the soft skills her children were learning. What may have seemed like fun and games (play, snacks, painting, listening to stories) to the untrained eye, are a vehicle for learning soft skills. Soft skills include the ability to resolve conflicts ("I had it first - No, you didn't!"), how to share, how to negotiate, how to talk things out. As Heckman states, "These are the skills they (preschoolers) will need to make it through a day of work when they're 30." (Blumberg, 2011)
Heckman also cites the benefits of investing in early education when he talks about the much-acclaimed Perry Preschool Project, based in Ypsilanti, Mich.
This longitudinal study is hailed as a milestone when studying of the impact of quality preschool programs. David Weikart, founder of the program, tracked those who had had a preschool experience in his Michigan program and a control group that had no similar experience. What he found has and continues to radically change thinking on the value of early education.
Two fellow economists who work for the Federal Reserve Bank agree with Heckman. Rolnick and Grunewald (2007) state, "Cost-benefit analyses of the Perry Preschool Program, the Abecedarian Project, The Chicago Parent-Child Centers, and the Elmira Prenatal/Early Infancy Project showed annual rates of return, adjusted for inflation, ranging between 7 percent and 18 percent."
Even Ben Bernanke champions early education as a good investment when he said, "Although education and acquisition of skills is a lifelong process, starting early in life is crucial."
And, the benefits last well into adulthood. Examples: The arrest rate for Weikart's preschool group was significantly lower, teen pregnancies were lower, and earnings were higher for those that had been to preschool.
Weikart found a host of other findings that pointed to the value of a quality early education experience. In economists' lingo, the cost-benefit ratio is well worth the investment in early education. Weikart has proven that for every dollar invested in such programs, the payoff is more than $7. (Businessmen take heed!)
With all the attention being given to testing the "hard skills" - language and reading and math skills - shouldn't we also foster the development of the soft skills that have their roots at the preschool level?
And shouldn't there be support for and development of soft skills in the home? Sibling rivalry should be taken seriously and seen as an opportunity to teach conflict resolution. Waiting your turn teaches patience and fairness. Sharing can and must be modeled and developed at home. All of this can be fostered and learned by the preschool children, according to Heckman.
I hope parents, teachers and, especially, businesspeople take heed of Heckman and others' message. We realize that early education in both hard and soft skills is a long-term investment. However, it's an investment worth making, not only for the future of our children, but for a more prosperous economy and a more civil society as well.

Age: Kindergarten
Kindergarten marks the start of "real school" for many children. Even if they have gone to preschool children often feel like kindergarten is when school really starts. For parents, kindergarten can mark big changes as well. Children may be tired, cranky, and not want to do long drawn out activities at home. Below you will find a lot of fun and quick early literacy activities, math games, and art activities.

Jaffrey man dies in Peterborough crash involving PSNH truckBy MEGHAN PIERCE

The budget for the pre-school art program at St. Vincent de Paul School is big, but so are the results.
"We really push them," said teacher's aide Kara Richardson as students swirled paint thickened with wheat flour into van Gogh-like flowers during a class in April. "There's a lot of listening, a lot of direction following, and we see real growth afterward."
The art classes don't begin until late in the school year, after most of the 4-year-olds have turned 5 and learned to function in a classroom setting.
"They wouldn't be ready for it in the fall," said program director Kathy Barnett. "That six months is huge."
During each class students learn about a famous artist — 16 in all. The first class focuses on Piet Mondrian, a good introduction because the artist's colorful geometric compositions are easy for children to appreciate, said Barnett. They progress to Andy Warhol, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, and end with Georgia O'Keeffe. Students learn a little about the artist's life and artistic style, and each day they make artwork using a technique similar to the artist's.
For Alexander Calder, students make hanging mobiles with wire. During the class on Ansel Adams, students shoot photographs in the school yard. Because many people believe Michelangelo painted his famous murals on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel while lying on his back, students do the same, lying on the floor with the paper taped to the bottom of a table. And for Jackson Pollack, a unit that requires good weather because the mess is easier to clean up outdoors, students don protective clothing and splatter paint just as the artist did.
Like all endeavors, some children are better at it than others.
"Some get it done in 20 minutes, some can barely get it down in an hour," said Richardson. Getting 5-year-olds to concentrate for that long is an accomplishment. "It's very taxing on their attention."
Children begin to grasp abstract concepts with the activity — at first, naming their works can be difficult, but they soon get the hang of it. In making their own versions of van Gogh's famous sunflower painting, the young artists were quick to assign titles — "Flowers for my Mom and Dad," "In the House, In the Living Room, on the Table," and "Flowers in a Glass Pot."
While students are learning about the creative endeavors of famous artists, they are not really practicing creative expression themselves. Rather, they are learning to listen and follow direction, a skill that is key to all future learning. The artwork, with its squishy paint, intriguing shapes and other colorful materials helps them focus in on the task. The endeavor leaves an impression that lasts.
"My son still talks about the classes," said teacher's aide Amy Sanders when 13-year-old Reed stopped by at the end of the school day. "His artwork is still hanging in the house." Information he learned when he was 5 helped him answer correctly during a recent scholastic bowl competition, he said.
"Their little brains are so open," said Barnett. "Just like a sponge."
The unit culminates in an art show at the beginning of May. Because each student shows about 15 pieces, the exhibition is quite large. It's been a beloved event at the school since the program began in 2001, said Barnett.
While she is a great advocate of the program now, Barnett admits she was a little skeptical when she first came to St. Vincent de Paul nine years ago. Organization is important in a pre-school classroom, and art classes — with an abundance of messy supplies — are an organizational nightmare. And while the classes are intense for the students, they are even more intense for the teachers who give each student one-on-one attention to ensure that projects turn out correctly. After her first year, however, Barnett was sold.
"I saw the value in it, how much growth that takes place in the child," she said. Not only do they learn to follow directions, they learn abstract concepts and spacial concepts like up and down. They also gain an appreciation of art history that lasts a lifetime, she said.
"The results are worth every minute of it," Barnett said.

In the book Puer Zingiberi Panis, the second story has the line "Musca araneam magnam in araneum vidit."
I think this means "The fly sees the large spider on the web.".
Shouldn't 'araneum' be in the ablative? The previous line is 'Et oscillare incipit' The large spider is swinging on the web, would that account for the use of the accusative?

The Record's recommended spots to find fish in the Central Valley and beyond.
If you believe the experts, an increase in water temperature turns on striped bass and, sure enough, on Feb. 14 the bass began feeding. Water is 51 to 52 degrees and though it might dip with Tuesday's rain, conditions appear to be just right.
Barry Canevaro of Fish Hookers Sportfishing in Isleton said trolling improved exponentially starting last Thursday on the Sacramento River, where the water is crystal clear and void of pesky floating vegetation.
"Striper fishing really turned on early this year and the bite was good, especially since it is still winter," Canevaro said. "The best bite is the incoming tide with shallow-running lures, such as the P-Line Angry Eye. We've been hooking easy limits in the 7- to 9-pound bracket every morning."
He confided the top of the incoming tide and the change was literally "wide open" for trollers above and below Rio Vista.
"Sturgeon are the target for many anglers, especially around Liberty and Joice islands, and farther west of the Mothball Fleet. The problem is, most of the sturgeon are undersized shakers.
Steve Talmadge of Flash Fishing in Martinez is working the deeper water by the decadent ships, dunking grass shrimp. On Monday, his clients caught four sturgeon, five stripers and three flounder, releasing all but a 57-inch sturgeon.
Shoreline anglers target mainly catfish with chicken liver, clams and cut mackerel and sardines. Some work jigs and small live minnows near docks and pilings for crappie.
Ocean - Quiet except for the party boat that offers a combination trip for sand dabs, mackerel and giant squid. Rough seas and high surf have curbed the pot pulling for Dungeness crabs.
San Pablo Bay - Slow sturgeon bite because of a herring spawn that attracted all the fish. There are more striped bass in the bay than usual, with the top catch going about 15 pounds. Most are shakers measuring less than 18 inches. Trolling or casting worm-tailed jigs produces plenty of action on the top of the tide.
American - Final call for winter-run steelhead to 12 pounds. The run is waning but there still are quality fish on the upper end above Grist Mill access. Flies, nightcrawlers and silver lures do the number.
Klamath - Good run of 3- to 5-pound steelhead and a mix of half-pounders from Seiad Valley to Happy Camp. On the Trinity River, steelhead are found below Junction City.
Sacramento - No end to wild rainbow trout, 12 to 20 inches, that fall to flies, nightcrawlers, crickets and lures, such as Hot Shot and Wiggle Wart. Best run is from Redding to Red Bluff.
Amador - More than 1,000 pounds of trophy-sized Donaldson trout are bared to the center of the lake and released every weekday morning. But even a relatively small impoundment that is chock full of fish doesn't guarantee a good bite. Thursday found heavy angling pressure but few trout taken except by those who were on the water early and towed broken-backed Rapalas. A number of 2- to 4-pound trout fell throughout the day to Power Bait, flies and Needlefish. Some anglers pioneer and bounce jigs over sunken islands for crappie.
Camanche - Probably the most consistent of the planted trout lakes for trollers. Limits are improbable, but hooking 18- to 20-inch rainbows, with chance of taking a rare 5- to 8-pounder makes the effort worthwhile. Crappie are showing for jigs and small minnows. Bank anglers take some trout at north and south ramps and also the South Shore Pond.
Don Pedro - Guide Danny Layne of Twain Harte runs the river canyon above Moccasin Point for fair rainbow trout action. Bows measure about 18 inches and get after dodgers or flashers trailed by a nightcrawler. Magic depth is 15 to 20 feet. Layne will offer a free seminar, "Tips for Kokanee Fishing," at 6:30 p.m. Friday, and 1:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Bass Pro Shops in Manteca.
Hogan - Little pressure, but striped bass to 3 pounds get after bait and jigs on the upper end of the Calaveras River arm.
Los Vaqueros - Planted with trout and fishing is good, especially from the bank at South Cove or from an anchored boat at the back of most any cove. Power Bait or inflated nightcrawlers slathered with garlic scent will do the trick. Rolling also improves for rainbows. Striped bass are scarce. Lake elevation is 116,000 acre feet, well above the capacity of the old dam.
New Melones - Dropping about two feet a week with topwater temperatures running 50 to 54 degrees. Trolling for trout is slow. Better chance is for bank anglers who toss baits that float. They'll score a couple rainbows per rod. Largest trout of the week was a 3.3-pounder claimed on a lure cast from the shore. Black bass are numerous but small, getting after crawdad or shad patterned plastics. Crappie are available for the few that try.
Pardee - Re-opened Friday for the season with large numbers of anglers tossing bait and lures from the Recreation Area shoreline for catchable-sized trout. Approximately 8,000 pounds of trout were stocked last week with another batch to follow. Lake level is 12 feet from spilling and clear.

Access to energy improves lives, livelihoods
19 May, 2014 (Kathmandu) — Energy poverty is a serious challenge in developing countries that condemns nearly 1.3 billion people to absolute poverty. Lack of access to modern energy can have serious impediment to education, health and livelihood opportunities. In Nepal alone, a country known for huge hydro-electricity potential, more than 27 percent of the population have no access to electricity.
To address these problems, UNDP has been working with the Government of Nepal and other development partners since 1996 to provide electricity to the poorest communities that are not connected to the national grid through Micro-Hydro plants. The outcomes have been transformative leading to a visible improvement in living standards.
During his visit to Nepal last week, UN Assistant Secretary General and UNDP Regional Director for Asia Pacific Haoliang Xu travelled to Pinthali village of Mangaltar Village Development Committee in Kavre District, the site of one such plant, to learn firsthand how access to modern renewable energy can reduce poverty and improve living standards.
Villagers told Xu that that their lives have changed considerably since the Micro-Hydro was built in the village by the Government of Nepal with support from UNDP and the World Bank: Access to electricity has allowed children to study at night leading to a decrease in school dropout rates, and agro processing mill powered by Micro-Hydro provides services in the village saving time. It has also decreased drudgery for women who previously spent hours collecting firewood and fetching water daily.
More importantly, canal used to bring water to the power plant has also allowed villagers to irrigate farms. This has led to considerable crop yields: Last year the villagers sold beans worth RS 10 million (USD 100, 000), besides garlic and other products.
Community members told Xu that prior to the construction of the Micro-Hydro, the villagers struggled with sustenance farming and that there were sanitation and health problems. Besides, women had very little role in village's public life. That's something of the past today.
The community is much better off now. In fact they are building a monastery in the village with key artisans brought from Bhutan—with women working shoulder to shoulder with men to bring about a qualitative improvement in the life of the villagers.
The level of awareness among the villagers is very high. They are now seeking access to better farming equipment to modernize agriculture so that their yields and earning are even better.
UNDP, in partnership with the Government of Nepal's Alternative Energy Promotion Centre, supports villages that are remote and off-grid, with renewable services. Since 1996, nearly 90,000 remote households have been connected with a renewable energy source with UNDP's support.
Xu said that he was very excited to see the sustained transformative changes taking place in the villages from one small intervention. In his meetings with Government officials, he called for scaling up renewable energy interventions aimed at poorest communities through more public and private funding.
International experience has shown that lack of access to energy can limit achievement of all MDG goals. The Secretary General's Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative precisely seeks to address this huge cost of energy poverty. The initiative hopes to provide universal access to modern energy services, double the global rate of energy efficiency and share of renewable energy by 2030.
If the transformation seen in Nepal's Pinthali village is any indication, universal access to renewable energy will certainly make huge impact in the lives of the poor both in Nepal and abroad.

Low Vitamin D Increases Breast Cancer Risk
By Michael A. Smith, MDbreast cancer awareness month, an annual campaign designed to increase awareness of the disease.
Although many of the various pink-colored campaigns have done a good job reminding us of the importance of self-screening and early detection methods, very little emphasis has been given to prevention.
This is especially true when it comes to modifiable risk factors – that is, risk factors that can be eliminated through better diet, exercise, lifestyle changes, and even nutritional supplements.
To date, we know that maintaining a healthy weight, exercising, and avoiding alcohol are good ways to protective yourself. But are there any other protective measures we can take? There certainly are.
In fact, new research suggests that low vitamin D may actually increase your risk of breast cancer. As such, optimizing your vitamin D blood level should be a top priority if your goal is to ward off breast cancer and live a long, healthy life.

Memorial boys take city track meet for 10th straight year
May 17. 2013 11:27PM
MANCHESTER - They run, jump and throw without a glaring weakness on the depth chart. The boys of Manchester Memorial are consistent, too, winning the Manchester City Track and Field Meet at the Clem Lemire Athletic Complex for the 10th year in a row.
Junior Shawn Case, who personifies the overall talent and strategy of the Crusaders, won the 110-meter hurdles, 300-meter hurdles, triple jump and pole vault. Case alone racked up 24 points, and Memorial crushed the five-team field with 130 points. Central was runner-up at 54 points, followed by Trinity High (52), West (25) and Derryfield School of Manchester.
"We have a lot of guys who are good at a variety of events," Memorial coach Tom Lynch said. "We may not have a super stud, but our guys are very versatile."
The Central girls, narrowly defeated by Memorial in last year's city meet, scored 113 points to beat Memorial (78), West (31), Trinity (31) and Derryfield (10).
Memorial senior Zach Reynolds won the 1,600 meters with a strong finish, posting a personal-best time of 4 minutes, 34.82 seconds. An hour later, Reynolds locked onto the inside lane and won the 800 meters at 2:08.26. Sophomore Brett Hoerner continued a breakout season, capturing second place in the 1,600 and fourth place in the 800.
"Zach ran so hard in the 1,600 that I really didn't think he could win the 800," Lynch said.
The Crusaders racked up dozens of points on field events. Kris Burke won the discus at 135 feet, 11 inches, and Adam O'Neil eked out a javelin victory (133 feet, 3 inches) by defeating Trinity's Matt McDevitt by 2 inches.
The Central girls dominated the distance runs, taking five of the top six spots in the 1,600 and 3,200. Derryfield's Casey Hecox won the 1,600 at 5:40.71, followed by a convoy of Central runners, including Carolyn Larkins, Holly Webster, Eliza Conrad, Rebecca Walker and Laurel Gagnon.
"The city meet is where the team comes together. There's a lot of team spirit, showing our Central pride, and we really like to win," said Gagnon, a senior, who took third in the 3200.
Gagnon, of Hooksett, was described by her teammates as an "inspirational runner" and awesome violinist.
"I really believe in leading by example instead of trying not to be bossy and pushy," said Gagnon, asked about her leadership skills. "I try to set an example for the younger girls. We work together and have a positive attitude."
Gagnon, home-schooled since kindergarten, plans to attend Park University in Missouri and continue refining her musical talents. She has been playing violin since age 3 and has twice played with the Granite State Symphony.
"It's my passion. It's like my voice. I can perform my thoughts that I can't do through words," said Gagnon, whose younger brother, Abram, won the 3,200 for the Little Green.
Central soph Maryjune Lachance took the 400 and 800 meters, and senior Meg Brockett won the 3,200. Trinity freshman Amanda Torres made an impressive debut in the city meet, winning the 100 at 13.25 and the 200 at 27.46.

Don't React
So what do we do when we don't know what to do? First, stop, takea deep breath and don't do anything. Eckhart Tolle, spiritual teacher and author of Stillness Speaks says to "become at ease with the state of 'not knowing'." It is having faith and trusting what you do know in the unknown.
Knowing, for example, that the tide will recede, the vast encumbrances of our lives will pass. Sure you may not know if you're making the right decisions, but there are no guarantees in life anyway. In all situations, there is an undercurrent of change and risk lurking just beneath the surface.

Absence of fear is not a prerequisite for action.
Absence of fear is not a prerequisite for action.
After owning two businesses for two decades, I finally got a real job... dream job actually! Combining my passions of technology, education, and skydiving, I was hired in January 2017 by the United States Parachute Association as Director of IT. Sadly, I am no longer taking on new web programming projects, but I'm still skydiving and teaching certification courses through Xcelskydiving and of course writing! Also, I am still available for public speaking events... just email me. This blog site serves to display my numerous previously published works as well as satisfy my continued urge for sharing my insights... you know, those thoughts you have at 4 o'clock in the morning.
Female Skydiving Instructors
Educational Foundation for Skydivers
USPA's Skydive School
After being DZO of Skydive Kansas for 21 years, I accepted a full time position at USPA as Director of IT. I'm still traveling to teach courses as an eXaminer with Xcelskydiving. But I have never believed in spreading thin or watering down. After much contemplation, I made the bittersweet decision to close my dropzone. In an email to regular jumpers, I explain by starting with:
The only thing that stays the same is that things change.
In the third century BC, Aristotle penned the timeless words, "The more I know, the more I know I don't know." Since then, countless people in numerous time periods have restated this realization using various wording. Aristotle's statement and the others like it are the hallmark of those who are recovering casualties of the Dunning-Kruger Effect, a phenomenon explored in a series of experiments by David Dunning and Justin Kruger at the Cornell University Department of Psychology in 1999. These experiments—reportedly inspired by a bank robber who knew that lemon juice could be used as invisible ink and covered his face in it thinking it would render him invisible—set out to test a human psychological trait many before have witnessed: People with below average skill or knowledge tend to grossly overestimate their own abilities.
I don't know how many times I get this response when someone finds out I'm a skydiver. "Oh, I would love to jump, but I'm afraid of heights!"
I heard this so many times that I developed a rehearsed retort: I used to say, "So am I." So I tried to mix it up and reply, "I'm not afraid of heights, but I am afraid of widths!" That attempt at humor went right past most people.
But it occurred to me once after hearing this quip for the umpteenth time in so many days, when people say they are afraid of heights, they are implying that the height itself could hurt them. Why wouldn't someone say instead, what they really mean, "Oh, I would love to jump, but I'm afraid of hitting the ground at a high rate of speed and either being injured badly or dying."
Sun slowly overtakes the shadow in the hangar as the overhead door moans, opening to reveal a bright blue sky. My manifester has not yet arrived, so I busy myself closing a tandem rig, taking out trash, vacuuming, cleaning the bathroom... The first group of tandems walks around the corner. I greet them, briefly introduce myself, and apologize for the toilet brush in my hand. I get their paperwork started, then take their payment, start them on the training video. They are a 30 something aged group of guys who brought their family out to watch. Stereotypically, the big guys are jumping, and their wives just watch their kids and mumble how they would never jump out of a perfectly good airplane.
After the video finishes, I start training them for their tandem jump. Slowly the realization comes over one man's face, as he then asks, "So, we're jumping with you? You're a tandem instructor?"
I'm still surprised and laugh at times when I get this reaction, although I understand it: from their perspective, they see a small framed gal, 5'5 and 110 pounds, who is cleaning the bathroom and taking care of office work.
Let me share with you my anecdotes -- more for encouragement rather than instruction -- the secrets of a female tandem instructor…
Two individuals can do greater things together than the effect of their separate acheivements.
Everyone credits Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Sherpa as the first to summit Mount Everest. But that is certainly not true....
Goal setting, self-improvement, advancement, augmentation, progress, development... It's a constant and insatiable chase to an over-glorified, vague end game that never ends. I like activity, but I don't like that race. So, here's what being a lazy drummer taught me about getting better at stuff.
Do you know what 120 mile per hour wind sounds like? That's the wind flowing past your body in freefall. It sounds like...
"What's wrong with you?"
"For being so smart, you sure are stupid."
"You're being lazy."
The mean person saying these things to me is... me. These phrases come from the tape recorder in my head that plays over and over. We all "beat ourselves up" with our dysfunctional internal dialogue. It's not helpful. But how do you erase these phrases and record better ones?
My new job has me with set office hours, so even though I'm sure I'm still getting some exercise, I have struggled with feeling more sedentary. But how do I ride this change without ill side effects?
I bought a treadmill desk.
A skydiving student of mine remarked to me recently, "My non-skydiving friends just don't understand why I skydive. They don't take chances with their lives." I replied, "That's not true. Do they ever drive on a two lane highway? When another car comes from the other direction, there's a closing speed of 120 mph, same as our closing speed to the ground when we are in freefall, yet at a distance of only a few feet. The difference is, I can see this huge planet Earth coming at me 10,000 feet away, but I can avoid hitting it at deadly speed simply by pulling a little handle. On the highway, you never know what that guy in the other lane will do at the last second. He could be messing with his cell phone or under the influence… or eating his sandwich or texting grandma."
What are the risks we accept unaware, without thinking?

Cold and Flu
Sore nose
Why is my nostril hard and sore? My right nostril is quite hard and sore. I`ve been stuffed up for days, in addition to having a sore throat. I`m afraid that I have a staph infection because my right nostril is hard and sore but there is no obvious culprit (pimple, etc.). Also, the soreness is not from blowing my nose.
For refrence, my boyfriend has a boil on his thigh but it has not popped and I have avoided him since he discovered the boil. I`m hoping that my sore nostril has no relation to this information.

Looking for Father of Thomas WALKER born 1820
I am trying to establish the details of the father of Thomas WALKER born 1820 in Messingham Lincolnshire, according to Census details. I have established that his fathers name was William and that he had died prior to 1842 when Thomas married, William is shown as deceased and occupation as farmer, on the marriage certificate. I have searched parish records for Messingham but cannot find the birth of Thomas recorded, there is however a William Walker who is recorded as the father of other children in Messingham at that time, no occupation shown. The mystery is if this is the father of Thomas why was the birth not recorded. Can any body help.
