Today's Courier Herald Column:
There was a time, not so long ago in this state, when declaring you were "pro-life" was generally understood and accepted both within the pro-life movement and those who oppose it. There were, inevitably, uncomfortable situations where those who were pro-life were willing to accept that parents, would-be parents, and higher powers would take precedence over established law. While many within the community generally agreed to disagree over situations involving rape, incest, and the life of the mother, those who generally agreed with most other pro-life concepts were welcome within the fold.
That was then. Today, the community seems more intent on purging those they deem less than pure, and expanding the litmus tests far beyond saving the lives created from an unplanned pregnancy.
The results have been counterproductive. The movement is split. The endorsements of pro-life groups that were -until very recently- required to win a GOP primary may now actually be hurting candidates. And the legislative priorities of the pro-life movement have moved so far from dealing with the issues of pregnancy that many who have taken a break from pro-life activism wouldn't recognize it if they were to return today.
It seems virtually impossible for an OBGYN to be supported by pro-life groups these days. Those who are responsible for the health of the unborn (and their mothers) during pregnancy are now generally rumored to be abortion doctors if they attempt to run for office. Such was the smear campaign launched against DeKalb Dr. Carla Roberts -one of the nation's leading physicians for gynecological surgery- and more recently against Dr. Dean Burke, who as an obstetrician seems to have delivered half of the babies born in Southwest Georgia.
Neither Roberts nor Burke were endorsed by Georgia Right to Life, despite their commitment to helping parents bring children into this world. Roberts was defeated in a Republican primary to Chris Boedeker, who later lost to incumbent Scott Holcomb. Burke defeated minister and former State Rep. Mike Keown who had been heavily backed by GRTL. Many after, however, noted that the rumors that the doctor they knew very well was actually an abortion doctor didn't sit well.
It's one thing for Georgia Right to Life to cost Republicans a seat in inner metro Atlanta. But for the organization to lose a candidate they supported in one of the state's most socially conservative areas should be considered evidence that the leaders of the movement are losing their followers, and the battle for their agenda.
It is not much different on the legislative front. After last year's successful passage of the fetal pain bill – limiting abortions after the fetus has the ability to feel pain – the "pro-life" bill this session is HB 481, calling for the ethical treatment of human embryos. It seeks to ban, among other things, the creation of animal-human hybrids.
It would be much easier to accept the push into these areas had the pro-life movement actually accomplished the goal that once unified them – overturning Roe vs. Wade. Despite the fact that Georgia and many other states have elected majorities that support pro-life legislation with up to three exceptions, the goal from the anti-abortion movement is purity on all parts of the issue, which now extends into opposition to in-vitro fertilization and human cloning experiments that are mostly the realm of science fiction, not science. And certainly not morality.
If pro-life forces wish to regain relevance, they would seek again to win hearts and minds. Instead of demanding purity from their own ranks, or smearing those in the medical community who help families during pregnancy, they should meet the people affected by crisis pregnancies where they are, and how they live.
More effort and attention needs to be given to pregnancy resource centers for mothers seeking an alternative to ending their pregnancies. And especially, the pro-life movement needs to work to help establish support networks for those mothers who choose life and carry their baby to term. Believing that lives begin at conception shouldn't mean turning our backs on those lives just because they've been born.
There are many working in the pro-life community who actively support these centers, and help mothers and children both during pregnancy and afterward. The pro-life cause would be greatly enhanced if this was the focus of the movement, instead of increasingly fringe legislation or underhanded acts of campaign desperation that too often, define the pro-life movement's public image today.

The Kremlin seems to have decided that the best defense is a strong offense. With the time remaining until the summit now counted in days rather than weeks, Moscow is accusing the United States of perfidy, of double standards on human rights, and of striving for military superiority over the Soviet Union at all costs.
At a Kremlin reception marking the 68th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev said, ``It is vital that distrust, hatred, and suspicion be eliminated from international relations.''
``As far as the Soviet Union is concerned, it has enough good will. It demonstrates this will by its action. If a businesslike, constructive approach, for which we are ready, prevails, then the forthcoming meeting in Geneva may prove to be fruitful and serve toward improving the international situation.''
If the Soviets are ready, what stands in the way?
Soviet Defense Minister Sergei Sokolov, standing atop the Lenin mausoleum in Red Square, gave the answer. He warned thousands of people gathered there for the annual Revolution Day military parade that the US is ``trying to dismantle the most important gains of the period of d'etente and ensure military superiority over the socialist community.''
The source of the ``greatest danger,'' he said, was the United States' plans to ``militarize outer space.''
Meanwhile, the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda printed an article yesterday based on an interview with KGB agent Vitaly Yurchenko (who, it should be noted, still has not been identifed in the Soviet news media as having any connection with the Soviet secret police.)
Mr. Yurchenko said he was kidnapped in Rome by the Central Intelligence Agency and kept prisoner at a secluded 5,500-acre estate near Fredricksburg, Va., while it tried to brainwash him.
He said he was drugged, forced to take ``tablets and narcotics'' every day.
He said a smaller-than-usual dose was given him before a meeting with CIA Director William Casey, but he professes to remember the meeting only dimly, ``as if I were in a mist.''
He claimed that Mr. Casey spoke to him about ``big politics and the summit meeting.'' That is the first time the Soviet media have tied the Yurchenko case directly to the summit. It will probably not be the last time.
But while the Soviet media heap invective on the US, Gorbachev is careful to appear above the fray.
A documentary has opened here in Moscow depicting his trip to Paris this fall. It is called ``Moscow-Paris, Constructive Dialogue.'' According to the Soviet news agency Tass, the film shows how Gorbachev ``demonstrated yet another time the Soviet Union's consistent striving to improve the international situation and curb the arms race'' and how he received a ``warm and cordial welcome'' during his first overseas trip as Soviet leader.
At the Kremlin, Gorbachev himself said, ``In our policy we support a constructive dialogue and a search for mutually beneficial agreements.''
``This also concerns relations with the United States of America,'' he noted.

Blac Chyna's love don't cost a thing, but Rob's lavish gift costs thousands
Rob Kardashian is totally whipped, and his lavish new gift for Blac Chyna is all the evidence we need to confirm this.
More: The Kardashians are being really unfair about Rob & Blac Chyna's engagement
The newly engaged pair are really sweet together, and they have no problem sharing their love for each other on social media. But Kardashian recently decided he wanted to spoil his fiancée, and he did so with a very expensive gift: a purple Lamborghini Huracán, which is worth around $200,000.
Clearly Chyna was thrilled with the present, and she took to Instagram to share a picture of her luxury vehicle, along with the caption, "Thank you baby for my Huracan Lamborghini @robkardashian."
Chyna also posted a video to Instagram in which she can be heard saying she was "so happy, so excited."
More: There's one Kardashian sister who Blac Chyna won't tolerate at her wedding
Sadly, the general public are less excited about the purchase.
"What a sucker!!!!" eltz_i_am wrote.
"Man She's using him Gold digging hoe," mvsicz5 shared.
While adriannamarierodriquez asked how Kardashian could even afford the purchase. She wrote, "How does rob even make money now and days? [sic]"
The reactions are disappointing, but we doubt Chyna is listening to the hate — and why should she?
While this lavish gift is interesting, it's not nearly as interesting as the picture Rob posted on his Instagram account of Blac Chyna, referring to her as his "beautiful wife." Um, what?
More: Fans are convinced Blac Chyna's pregnant, but it's probably just a food baby
Is it just a cute nickname, like "wifey," or did the pair elope? It would certainly make sense to elope and avoid all the Kardashian drama and media storm, but it's probably unlikely to have happened given that Chyna is reportedly already planning a massive wedding. One thing that is clear, though, is that fans are super confused.
Comments on the post include, "Wife? Did they elope," "Did they get married," and "wife?????" But there has also been a lot of unnecessary hate, which fan tifa06112 addressed.
She wrote, "And too everyone trying to sneak diss my girl.....Rob knows a good woman when he sees one. I love you two together, @robkardashian and @blacchyna Live Life. Be Happy. Love One Another."
Still, we've got to ask, are they really married?
What do you think? Did Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian elope? What do you think of his gift? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

Three words –
Gratitude, Love and Thanksgiving – are in the air.
Whether in the Pythagorean or Ancient Chaldean system, EACH
of the names either adds up to 3, 6 or 9. This 3-6-9 trilogy is referred to by
numerologists as the 'feeling' and 'emotional' triad of numbers.
The word 'Gratitude' resonates to 3 and 6.
'Love' adds up to 3 and 9.
And 'Thanksgiving' resonates to 3 and 6 – just like
The number 3 symbolizes joy and self expression. 6 represents
the cosmic parent, home and compassion. And 9 represents unconditional love,
culmination and the end of a cycle.
Each of these words symbolize deep feelings for our family,
friends, our home and our fellow human beings.
Did you notice how all three names add up to 3 in one of the
two systems? The flipside of this number is being scattered, inactive and
We all have a very strong connection to the 3-6-9 trilogy.
There are 24/6 hours in a day, 12/3 months in a year, 12/3
inches in a foot, 36/9 inches in a yard and 360/9 degrees in a circle. Speaking
of the number 9, it takes that many months from conception to the birth of a
baby. Very fitting, since 9 represents completion.
Gratitude and Love are like twin flames. When you feel love
you feel gratitude. And when you feel gratitude, you open your heart.
I am grateful to be sharing my life with you.
Happy Thanksgiving,

As a pack hound, the Otterhound is amiable with other dogs. As a hunter, he has an innate urge to follow the trails of mammals. Once on the trail, he is determined, single-minded and nearly impossible to dissuade from his task. Even though the Otterhound's job was not to kill his quarry, he will nonetheless give chase to small animals. The Otterhound loves to hunt, sniff, trail and, especially, swim. At home he is boisterous, amiable and easygoing (although stubborn), affectionate with his family, and quite good with children. Because the Otterhound was never traditionally kept as a pet, he is not among the most responsive of breeds. However, the Otterhound is a low-key dog that can function as a quiet companion.
The Otterhound needs daily exercise in a safe area or on a leash. He has a loud, melodious voice that carries for long distances. The Otterhound's coat requires only weekly brushing or combing. He may need his beard washed more frequently. Tidiness is not one of his virtues; the large, hairy feet tend to hold debris and mud, and the long hair around the mouth can hold water and food.
Major concerns: CHD, CTP, gastric torsion
Minor concerns: elbow dysplasia
Occasionally seen: none
Suggested tests: hip, elbow, blood
Life span: 10-13 years
Basset Hound
Black and Tan Coonhound
Dachshund (Standard)
American Foxhound
English Foxhound
Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen
One of the most unusual members of the hound group is the Otterhound, a hardy, tousled scenthound of uncertain origin. The breed may have originated in France, and closely resembles the old French Venden hound. Other breeds that may have played a part in his origin were the Welsh harrier, Southern hound (a foxhound-like breed), bloodhound or a type of water spaniel. Whatever the genetic makeup, the Otterhound came to fill a unique niche as a hunter of otters in England and is thus most associated with that country. King John kept the first documented packs of Otterhounds in 1212. The breed was useful for finding otters that were depleting fish in local streams. They would trail the otter to its den and bay when locating it. The hunters would then remove the Otterhounds and send small terriers to dispatch the otter. Otter hunting was never among the most popular of sports, lacking the formal trappings of fox hunting and taking place under wet and uncomfortable conditions. Nonetheless, the sport reached its peak during the latter half of the 19th century, when over 20 packs were hunting in Britain, but it essentially died out after the Second World War. The first Otterhound came to America at the beginning of the 20th century and was recognized by the AKC soon after. Otterhound aficionados have been especially adamant that the breed retain its functional characteristics, without succumbing to exaggerated grooming practices or the temptation to breed only for a competitive show dog. Even though this practice has maintained the true Otterhound type, the breed has never been especially popular as a show dog or pet. Despite the fact that the Otterhound is one of the most ancient of the English breeds, he is one of the rarest of English Kennel Club or AKC recognized breeds, verging perilously close to extinction.Copyright © 1998, 2005 by Barron's Educational Series, Inc. based on

Can we save our newsrooms with just one click? The answer, according to Adam Thomas, head of communications at Sourcefabric, is no. But we can figure out what exactly is going wrong in order to save them.
Journalism is always changing, as it is a faced-paced industry composed of complex networks that expand and contract. Traditional revenues fade; despite the fact that circulation may go up, ad revenue may simultaneously go down. This threatens innovation.

Hit the Skies with MX vs. ATV Reflex
MX vs. ATV is back, and currently in development for PS3, PSP, Xbox 360 and (for our Nintendo fans out there) the DS. MX vs. ATV Reflex has a major technology addition, which THQ refers to as the Rhythm Racing physics engine.
Unfortunately, the tech got its name for allowing players to get into the "rhythm of a race." No music or beats involved. This is the fourth installment in the series, and will introduce a new dual-stick control scheme that "separates man from machine." We'll have more for you as the game nears completion. Until then, stay tuned on PSLS!

Cooking With Bwog: Latin American Edition
Written by Bwog Staff
September 16, 200612:24 pm 4 Comments
Today begins the first installment of Cooking With Bwog, dedicated to providing quality, cheap, healthy, and easy recipes to make your meal-plan-free life as tasty as possible. If you have any amazing cooking secrets you'd like to share or questions for the Bwog Culinary Team, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. This week's feature is corn tortillas.
Cooking time: 30 seconds per tortilla
Ingredient: Masa, a dried corn dough mix that is not corn meal. Bwog uses Masarica by Goya. Los Vecinos Supermarket on 108th and
Cost for Ingredients: 1 bag of corn flour is $4 (makes 300 tortillas)
Utensils necessary: A stove, a frying pan or piece of metal, a bowl, a plastic bag and some scissors. You might also want a spatula if you unless you don't mind burnt fingers.
Instructions for making around 20 tortillas after the jump:
1. First, turn the stove on medium heat and put the pan or metal over it. Do not grease the pan. Then mix around 1 cup of masa flour in a bowl with 1 cup of water. The mix should form into a ball but be fairly dry and pebbly. It's really hard to form the tortillas if the flour is too moist, so if you have trouble forming the tortillas, add flour until it's easy.
2. To form the tortillas, first cut a circular piece of plastic out of the plastic bag. This will be your tortilla mold, and should be about the size of the human hand (10cm diameter).
3. Roll a golf-ball-sized ball of dough and place it in the center of your mold. Squish it flat with your hand. Then, using the fingers of one hand, push the dough out towards the edges of the mold while using your other hand to rotate the piece of plastic. The tortilla should be even and about 2 mm thick.
4. Pick up the tortilla, which should still be stuck to the plastic, and place it (with the plastic up, of course) on the hot pan. Peal the plastic off of the tortilla without ripping it. The tortilla needs around 15-20 seconds to cook on each side, or until it is sturdy and begins to brown. While it's cooking you can form the next tortilla. When they're done, put them in a contained space, such as under a cloth, so that they stay warm.

Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal arrives in France
1 September 2016
The 1738 Accord Royal reaches a symbolic stage in its journey by returning to its birthplace. Following tremendous success in the USA and a strong presence in Japan and South Africa, this connoisseur blend pays tribute to the 'Royal Accord'—a very special honor granted by King Louis XV to Rémy Martin in 1738.
In a continuous quest for excellence, Rémy Martin is proud to unveil this Fine Champagne cognac. Incomparably smooth on the palate, it was aged in toasted oak casks.
Impressed by the quality of the cognacs and the House expertise, King Louis XV of France gives Rémy Martin his 'Accord Royal' to plant new vines in 1738 in spite of the strict ban in place across the country. This rare privilege rewards the excellence of Rémy Martin expertise and was granted just 14 years after its creation.
To pay tribute to this defining moment in Rémy Martin history, in 1997, Cellar Master Georges Clot decides to create a unique blend inspired by the house's pioneering techniques. He thus selects eaux-de-vie distilled on lees in small copper stills and aged in Limousin-style toasted oak casks enriched with tannins.
The result is 1738 Accord Royal, a tribute to this distinction awarded 275 years ago by King Louis XV.

On 6 August 2015 a presidential decree was published announcing Portugal's ratification of the Unified Patent Court (UPC) Agreement. In April, Portugal's national parliament approved the UPC agreement, but it required presidential consent before it could be fully ratified. Now, subject to formal deposition of the instrument of ratification, Portugal will become the eighth EU member state to have ratified the Agreement, joining Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Luxembourg, Malta and Sweden.
A total of thirteen member states, which must include France, Germany and the UK, need to ratify the Agreement for it to enter into force. France has already ratified the Agreement and it is expected that Germany will begin work on the ratification process after the summer parliamentary recess. There has been speculation that UK ratification might be delayed due to the decision of the UK Government to hold a referendum by the end of 2017 on continued membership for the UK and Gibraltar of the European Union. However, the UK Intellectual Property Office has indicated that ratification will not be delayed and is expected by Q2 2016. Consistent with this, the UK Government today announced that it had taken a commercial lease of premises in the City of London to house the UK local division and the London branch of the central division. The premises will be ready for occupation by Q2 2016. This shows that the UK Government is starting to spend some hard cash on the project - which makes it all seem much more imminent.

Scope and Contents of the Collection
The Ruth S. Rafferty Papers consist of correspondence, a journal, essays and other writings, a scrapbook, memorabilia, a biographical note, obituaries, and photographs. The material in the collection primarily documents her social and academic life as a high school and Mount Holyoke College student and her subsequent work as a summer camp counselor and teacher. In five detailed letters written to her mother during her freshman year at Mount Holyoke, 1911-1912, she discusses parties, faculty members, campus food, a basketball game, a Mountain Day excursion, and her grades. Letters written during the summer of 1915 after her graduation from Mount Holyoke describe her activities as a counselor at a summer camp in Maine. The remaining eighteen letters in the collection reflect her life as a high school teacher in Hudson, New York. She discusses the size of the classroom, her students and colleagues, her workload, the lack of experienced teachers, and her living expenses. She also discusses her social life. Other documents in the collection include a journal in which she describes a high school trip to Washington D.C. in about 1909 with stops at Boston, Philadelphia, and New York City. The journal includes an account of her expenses during the trip. Among her writings is a short parody of Edward Lear's works entitled "Lear's Catalog" that contains illustrations of plant species such as the "Armcharia Comfortabilis,""Smalltoothcombia Domestica," and "Manypeeplia Upsidonia." The scrapbook dating from circa 1911-1926 contains newspaper clippings that mention her activities in high school and at Mount Holyoke, as well as several snapshots of Rafferty and her friends. Rounding out the collection are several programs, certificates, and greeting cards, her grammar school and high school diplomas, biographical notes and obituaries from 1921-1926, and more photographs of Rafferty and others.
This collection is organized into seven series:

They say, "The more the merrier." Completely true in the case of Comedy Nights with Kapil! This is one such show in which how many ever characters are introduced, it's just adds to the fun quotient. Last week we saw the introduction of Lachcha's latest crush Dulari.
For those who don't remember, Lachcha was last seen trying to woo Deepika Padukone when she came for Ram Leela promotions. Her heart almost melted at Lachcha's cute smile but sadly that story didn't work out. But he's back with his 'gaon ki chori' Dulari and this weekend we will get to see if he manages to impress her any further.
Talking about Dulari it is none other than Gaurav Gera playing this vivacious character. Last seen as Mrs. Pammi Pyaarelal Gaurav has already proven that he makes up for a pretty lady and in Comedy Nights too he plans to continue doing the same. While talking to us about his character he explained, "Dulari has a lot of potential and a lot of possibilities. Till now we have only seen a brief introduction to her character and I am happy by the way it has been shown. It leaves you with the feeling of wanting more."
But obviously when you become a part of such a huge show it's impossible to not feel the pressure and that's what has been happening with Gaurav. "The show is already such a big success and you come to know about that when you see fan pages on Facebook or even when you're in a party and friends and relatives start talking about last night's episode. But I'm happy to have Kiku Sharda by my side who plays the character of Palak. We're old friends and it feels nice to have someone I know in company."
While many characters are already popular from this show but Gutthi (played by Sunil Grover) had a special place in everyone's hearts and when he made an exit all were left heartbroken. Gaurav too felt the pain and commented, "As an audience I love Gutthi. In fact Sunil Grover is a very good friend of mine and I asked him to come back because he was doing a really good job and I want to truly see him in the show and enjoy. But that didn't happen and now some fans are comparing his character to mine. I even got abused by fans on Facebook. But its okay, these things happen and I can deal with it."
Well, we hope Gaurav soon makes a place for himself in the show and receives as much love from fans. In tonight's episode Dulaari will once again come out to entertain and we have been told that there will be a special segment wherein she will recite a poem for Rajkumar Shahid Kapoor. Do not miss this out!

SkinStudio help needed
Need help with fixing some bugs in WindowBlinds skin
Published on April 15, 2007 By

Last week I finished my 1st WindowBlinds skin and now I am starting to notice some bugs and I started fixing them but I can't seem to find a solution for the 2 following bugs.
I get a white border around the scrollbar and don't know how to remove it.
The second bug I need help with is that the 'Normal' text appears in SkinStudio in pink eventhough I set it in black. When skin is applied the text is black but still I'm worried that something is not good if the text shows pink in SkinStudio. So if anyone knows what I did wrong and how to fix it would be great.

For the scrollbars I would first check the size setting. Look for this under the 'Explorer' tab (on the left) Controls > Scrollbars the look for it in the 'Section' Tab, Scroolbar width. make sure its at the size you want. Many time its a good idea to have this and your images for the scrolls at the same size. Only other thought is you have the white space in your image but looking at the 2nd screenshot you don't.
The pink text is puzzeling, check to make sure none of your 'basic' colors (Explorer tab > Misc. > Colors - look in the 'Section' tab for all these) to see if you have any 'pink' there. If not then check you text color settings (Explorer tab > Misc. > Presets > Color Presets).

Your always going to have a a pixel,two of seperation in Internet explorer that isnt there in Explorer. Color pic that color and compare it to those in your classic colors, itll be one of those I do believe, Probably, a light shadow or windowframe color. Im half dead right now or I would have a look for u.
The pink maybe a text shadow, or u could be using a pinked bmp in a place that doesnt like it. Id suggest using tga for buttons. If you dont want the button skinned you can specify not to skin menubar buttons in its atrributes.
This isnt the version currently posted, if you want to upload the current version somewhere without updateing it.. like sendspace or soemthing i'll gladly take a look at it for u.

Democrat Tina Skeldon Wozniak, left, faces Republican Jonathan Anderson for county commissioner.
Enlarge | Buy This Image
Republicans filed Wednesday to run for five of nine Lucas County row office races on the ballot in 2012, leaving Democrats unopposed by Republicans for the offices of sheriff, prosecutor, coroner, and engineer. Wednesday was the filing deadline for the March 6 primary.
The Republican slate for county office includes Toledo City Councilman George Sarantou who decided only Wednesday to run for the open seat of county recorder rather than for county commissioner against incumbent Democrat Peter Gerken.
"I carefully considered the office of county commissioner as well as recorder and I just felt at this time, based on conversations with many people from many walks of life, I would be a very good candidate for Lucas County recorder," Mr. Sarantou said. He twice ran unsuccessfully for Lucas County commissioner, in 2006 and 2010. The current recorder, Democrat Jeanine Perry, has decided not to seek re-election.
Three Democrats filed petitions Wednesday for the recorder seat: Toledo City Councilman Phillip Copeland, Oregon City Councilman James Seaman, and Sylvania Township resident Kevin Eff, a lawyer.
A fourth possible Democratic candidate, Lisa Sobecki, opted not to run because she would have had to quit her job with the county Department of Job & Family Services to do so. Ms. Sobecki said Wednesday she had begun collecting signatures on her petitions but quit when she learned it was prohibited by the Ohio administrative code, which governs state employees, to even collect signatures. She said she did not know whether the violation would cost her her job.
"I tried to be honest and law-abiding and to follow the intent of the law," she said.

Republican Jonathan Anderson, vice chairman of the Lucas County GOP central committee, filed to run against Democratic Commissioner Tina Skeldon Wozniak. Republican Constantine Stamos, an unsuccessful 2009 Toledo City Council candidate, filed to run against Mr. Gerken.
Republican Norm Witzler filed against Lucas County Treasurer Wade Kapszukiewicz. In 2010, Mr. Witzler, a former Waterville councilman, started as the Republican candidate for county auditor against Democrat Anita Lopez and then withdrew to allow the party to substitute Gina Kaczala as the Republican nominee. Ms. Kaczala lost the election.
Hans Schnapp, an unsuccessful 2010 candidate for Toledo City Council, filed to run against incumbent Democrat Bernie Quilter for clerk of courts.
Two Democrats filed for the open seat of sheriff to replace Democrat James Telb, who is not seeking re-election. They are John Tharp, a major in the sheriff's department, of Monclova Township, and Raymond Collins, a retired deputy sheriff, of Swanton Township.
County Prosecutor Julia Bates, Engineer Keith Earley, and Coroner James Patrick, Democrats, will run unopposed.
Two Republicans filed for an open seat on the Ohio 6th District Court of Appeals: Lucas County Common Pleas Judge James Jensen and Toledo Municipal Judge Robert Christiansen. No Democrats filed. Incumbent Judge Peter Handwork, a Republican, is barred by his age from seeking another term.
One common pleas judge on the 2012 ballot will have a contest. Democrat Judge Myron Duhart, appointed last year to replace Democrat Judge Charles Doneghy, who resigned, will be opposed by Republican lawyer Kenneth Phillips.
Incumbent Common Pleas judges Stacy Cook (D), Gary Cook (D), James Bates (D), and Linda Jennings (R), Juvenile Court Judge Connie Zemmelman (D), and Domestic Relations Judge David Lewandowski (R) filed for re-election with no opposition.
Lucas County Republican chairman Jon Stainbrook said he was pleased with the slate that came together, noting that in some previous elections there were virtually no Republicans challenging Democrats on the ballot.
"We made sure that all the important offices that were winnable were covered. We made sure we fielded quality candidates and in some cases, placeholders," he said. He declined to identify the placeholders. A placeholder is someone expected to withdraw later if the party finds a more electable candidate.
Republican George Sarantou, left will run for recorder and will face either Phil Copeland, Jame Seaman, or Kevin Eff, who are squaring off int he Democratic primary.

Lucas County's four current state House members will all run again, and two have opposition.
Rep. Matt Szollosi (D., Oregon) will run in the 46th District and faces two Republican opponents -- David Kissinger, a registered nurse now working as a regional vice president for a health-care information technology company, and Steve Jasinski of South Toledo, a bicycle mechanic, who ran unsuccessfully for Toledo City Council in 2010. The district includes Maumee, South Toledo, Oregon, Springfield and Jerusalem townships, and the 18th Ward in East Toledo.
Barbara Sears (R., Monclova Township) filed for re-election in the 47th District. Filing against her was Democrat Jeff Bunck, a former Anthony Wayne School district teacher. The district includes western Lucas County and most of Fulton County.
State Rep. Teresa Fedor (D., Toledo) will run in the new 45th House District, which includes West Toledo, Washington Township, and most of East Toledo. Rep. Michael Ashford (D., Toledo) will run in the 44th District in Toledo's central city. Both are unopposed.
Wood County Commissioner Tim W. Brown, a Republican; Kelly Wicks, a Democrat, and Nathan Eberly, a Libertarian, filed for the 3rd District House seat in Wood County. Incumbent 3rd District Rep. Randy Gardner (R., Bowling Green) is not seeking re-election, and instead is running for the 2nd District Senate seat now held by Republican Mark Wagoner of Ottawa Hills. Mr. Wagoner is not seeking re-election. The Senate district includes western Lucas County, and Wood, Erie, and Ottawa counties.
Also filing for the 2nd Senate District, in addition to Mr. Gardner, were Republican Michelle McCauley of Sylvania and Democrat Jeff Bretz of North Baltimore.
Mr. Brown is in his fourth term on the Wood County board of commissioners.
"The most compelling aspect of the campaign is going to be jobs," Mr. Brown said. "We use Wood County as an example here. We have laid aside partisan differences … we have worked together on jobs to put citizens first."
Mr. Wicks, who operates a coffee shop and bookstore in Bowling Green, said in a statement that creating jobs would be his priority.
"I've been working to create jobs my entire adult life," he said. "And as I watch the things that have been happening in Columbus and the actions of Gov. John Kasich's administration, I could no longer ignore my desire to step up and run for office."
Incumbent state Rep. Rex Damschroder, a Republican, will run against Democrat William Edward Young in the 88th House District, which includes Sandusky County and most of Seneca County.
Incumbent 81st District Rep. Lynn Watchmann, a Republican, and John Vanover, a Democrat, filed for the seat covering Williams, Henry, and Putnam counties, and part of Fulton County.
In the 83th House District, which includes Hancock, Hardin and part of Logan counties, Republicans Robert Sprague and Kevin Rettig and Democrat John Kostyo filed.
State Rep. Matt Huffman (R., Lima) filed to run for re-election in the 4th House District covering Allen County. The Democratic candidate was Bo Huenke.
Filing for the 5th Congressional District were Republican incumbent Bob Latta of Bowling Green, Republican Robert Wallis of Convoy, Democrat Angela Zimmann of Springfield Township, Libertarian Eric Eberly, and Democrat Aaron Patterson of North Baltimore.
Filing for the 9th Congressional District were Democrats Marcy Kaptur of Toledo, Dennis Kucinich of Cleveland, and Graham Veysey of Cleveland, and Republicans Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher of Springfield Township and Steven Kraus of Huron.
Five Republicans filed for the U.S. Senate. They were Russell P. Bliss, Jr., of Willoughby; Donna K. Glisman of Graytown; Eric LaMont Gregory of Beavercreek; Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel of Beachwood, and Michael L. Pryce of Hudson. Democratic incumbent U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown of Avon filed for re-election. Joseph DeMare of Bowling Green filed for the Green Party.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Without a doubt, one of Rio's most attractive features are its world renowned beaches, presenting a culture that remains as popular with the local residents as it is with the thousands of travelers who frequent the city each year.
Ipanema and Leblon Beach
Ipanema and Leblon form one long beach, divided and defined by postos (posts) which serve to mark distance as well identify the varying themes and crowds of each particular area.
In short, Posto 8 is the stretch nearest to the Praça General Osório metro stop in Ipanema, and draws the most beach-goers on their way in from the outer neighborhoods, creating a more eclectic mix. It is also closest to Arpoador, meaning good surfing, or surf watching.
Posto 9 is popular amongst the young and beautiful with equally enviable tans and figures, armed with skate boards and tattoos. The area between Posto 9 and Posto 8 is known as the gay and lesbian spot, clearly marked by the rainbow flags.
Posto 10 is where the sports enthusiasts meet, due to the multitude of nets and greater space for soccer and volley ball, and also tends to attract a younger crowd. Posto 11 and 12 are known as the 'yummy mummy' beach since it seems to be especially popular with affluent mothers and their offspring.
Copacabana and Leme Beach
The huge beach of Copacabana is not quite as defined, however certain 'postos' of this beach usually attract various crowds. The most noticeable feature here is the renovations of the beach kiosks into full-service outdoor restaurants with underground kitchens.
The beginning of Copacabana, next to the Forte de Copacabana, is known as the fishermen's community beach where fresh fish is sold every morning. Near Posto 5 is where the infamous Club Help used to be, but the crowd there has moved on.Posto 2 attracts an alternative life-style crowd, including an area known as the gay and transvestite section.
Unlike Ipanema or Copacabana, the smaller Leme has no specific areas where certain types frequent. In this sense it is perhaps the most laid back of the four beaches with a rich mixing pot of bathers. Unfortunately, Copacabana and Leme beaches are said to be less safe than their neighbors in Ipanema or Leblon therefore visitors should be vigilant and leave valuables at home or at the hotel.
At the Beach
Most locals and beach regulars need no more than a kanga (sarong) and a soft patch of sand but for those requiring more support, there are barracas (vendors stationed every five to ten meters renting cadeiras (beach chairs) and guarda sol (umbrellas). Most speak enough English to take your money and up-sell some refreshments.
Chairs usually range from R$3 – R$5 and umbrellas for R$5-R$7 though some opportunists may try to charge tourists more during high season. It is, therefore, perfectly acceptable to haggle, and if necessary, seek a different vendor.
It is important to keep hydrated when out in the sun, especially mid-day, fortunately vendors regularly pace up and down the sand carrying food and drink. All of Rio's beaches are laced with kiosks selling water, soft drinks, chopp (beer), and fresh Agua de Coco (coconut water) for about R$3 – R$4 depending on the season and the proximity to Leblon (being the more affluent side, prices are normally higher).
During the early evening these Kiosks get busy as sunbathers move off the beach in favor of a refreshing Caipirinha which usually cost about R$8-R$10 and are occasionally accompanied by live music.
Swimming warnings must be heeded. Since Rio's beaches have nearly all been enlarged with sand banks it has created a situation of dangerous undercurrents, and it is important that bathers look out for red flag-posts that mark where it is not safe to swim. If in doubt, there are lifeguards to ask or simply bathe where the locals are.

The Choose to Save® Education Program
Financial security is one of the most important issues for most Americans. Whether it's putting kids through college, saving for an emergency, buying a house, or saving for retirement - having enough money for life's demands is among our biggest concerns. And yet, many Americans have not taken even the first steps toward a secure financial future.
The Emmy and Telly award-winning Choose to Save national public education and outreach program is dedicated to raising awareness about the need to plan and save for long-term personal financial security.
As part of its mission, Choose to Save develops user-friendly, multimedia materials to help individuals plan and save for their financial future, including:
- Public service announcements (PSAs) using humor, powerful images, and compelling information to encourage viewers (and listeners) to take charge of their financial future.

It includes free savings tools such as the Ballpark E$timate retirement planning worksheet, over 100 online calculators, brochures, savings tips, links to related resources, and other tools to help individuals and their family manage their finances. Visitors can also view and listen to the PSAs from the Web site.
- A variety of free savings tools and brochures focused on topics such as Saving for Your Familys Future, Just Starting Out, The Magic of Compounding, Maximizing Your Company Savings Plan, Why Open an IRA, Its Never Too Late to Save, and much more.
Developed by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) and its American Savings Education Council (ASEC) program, Choose to Save utilizes the power of the media to promote the idea that saving today is vital to a secure financial future.
The Choose to Save® public education program has delivered savings education to the public through radio and television since 1997. All radio and television public service announcements (PSAs) are nationally distributed on the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) and Associated Press (AP) Network feeds, with world-wide distribution via the American Armed Forces networks, military bases and navy ships.

What is a red-cockaded woodpecker?
A red-cockaded woodpecker is black and white with horizontal
stripes. It has a black head with large white check patches. Males
have a small red streak on the sides of the head, which is rarely
visible except with a high magnification spotting scope.
Where are red-cockaded woodpeckers found?
In Florida, the largest populations of red-cockaded woodpeckers
occur in the Apalachicola National Forest and Eglin Air Force Base,
but smaller populations can be found throughout a large portion of
the state. Florida's red-cockaded woodpecker population represents
25 percent of the nation's population. Historically, red-cockaded
woodpeckers were found throughout the southeastern United States
from Florida to New Jersey and Maryland, as far west as eastern
Texas, Oklahoma, to Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee. They no
longer occur in New Jersey, Maryland, Tennessee or Missouri.
Approximately how many red-cockaded woodpeckers are in
Florida's population of red-cockaded woodpeckers is estimated at
1,100 nesting pairs.
When was the RCW placed on Florida's imperiled species
The RCW was listed as either threatened or endangered by Florida's
wildlife agency from 1974 through 2003. In 2003, the Florida Fish
and Wildlife Conservation Commission reclassified the RCW as a
"species of special concern," meaning it still is at high risk of
extinction. In 2010, the Commission approved new rules for listing
imperiled species and the RCW was listed as federally endangered in
When was the red-cockaded woodpecker placed on the
federal Endangered Species List?
October 13, 1970.
Why is the red-cockaded woodpecker
Red-cockaded woodpeckers have become endangered due to population
declines, largely brought about by habitat destruction attributed
to logging, development and aggressive control of forest fires,
which historically maintained the open pinelands that RCWs require.
These actions have wiped out most of the South's long leaf pine
forests and put a stop to regular burning necessary to maintain
most healthy pines. Almost 97 percent of the red-cockaded
woodpecker habitat has been lost in the past 100 years.
Why are pine forests important to red-cockaded
Red-cockaded woodpeckers make their nests in cavities they create
in mature pine trees. They choose mature trees because older
pinewood is often soft, easily excavated, and has a smaller layer
of sapwood. Red-cockaded woodpeckers are the only southeastern bird
that excavates cavities in living pines.
What does a red-cockaded woodpecker eat?
Woodpeckers feed primarily on ants, beetles, caterpillars,
wood-boring insects, spiders, cockroaches and occasionally fruit
and berries.
What is the red-cockaded woodpecker's
Red-cockaded woodpeckers are typically found in open, park-like
pine forests maintained by fire. They require at least 75 acres for
nesting and feeding.
How do private landowners help in the recovery of the
red-cockaded woodpeckers in Florida?
Private landowners play a major role in the recovery of the
species because private lands provide habitat to as much as 10
percent of Florida's birds. Private lands also border public lands
that contain RCWs.
Land management techniques to help in the red-cockaded
woodpecker recovery include:
Besides private landowners, what is Florida doing for
the species?
Florida has joined forces with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
and our neighboring states in forming partnerships with private
landowners and creating Safe Harbor agreements to protect the
federally endangered red-cockaded woodpecker.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission carefully
manages the red-cockaded woodpecker on 6.5 million acres of
wildlife management areas.
FWC Facts:Approximately 1.7 million acres of Florida's remaining natural areas have been invaded by nonindigenous plant species, which have degraded and diminished our ecosystem.

Josh Windass is willing to wait before making a decision over his future.
Accrington Stanley ace Josh Windass has told BBC Sport that he will make his own decision over his future, with his father Dean telling him to leave the club.
Windass, 21, has hit ten goals in 20 games for Accrington so far this season, and his performances are beginning to attract interest.
The Sun report that Rangers are very keen on Windass, with new head of recruitment Frank McParland a big fan of the player having been calling the shots at Burnley earlier this season.
A fee of £250,000 allegedly could be enough to land Windass for Rangers in the January transfer window, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.
The midfielder is surely going to leave Accrington in order to join a bigger club, and father Dean Windass told the Hull Daily Mail last week that he has told his son to leave the club at the end of his contract.
With questions over his future, Windass has told BBC Sport that he - and not his father - will make the decision over his future, and is just focusing on his time at Accrington right now.
"I think he was just a bit upset by some things that have happened," said Windass. "That's the way he wants to deal with it - I didn't know he was doing it so it's up to him and that's just the way he wants to get it across. I think he feels that I'm under pressure to sign a contract but every decision I make will be my own decision, not his decision."
"There has been a lot of rumours and stuff like that but there has been nothing concrete hit the club or hit me so I just keep playing for Accrington and see what happens," he added.
An interesting aspect to think about for Rangers is that, whilst Josh will ultimately make the decision, father Dean Windass will also have some advice to give his son - and he enjoyed a fruitful spell in Scottish football.
Windass hit 31 goals in 93 games for Aberdeen, and having impressed in Scotland during his own career, he may well be keen to see his son make a similar move by joining Rangers, which would play right in to the hands of Gers boss Mark Warburton and head of recruitment McParland.

I just received my moissanite ring today. I was a bit concerned with the moodiness of the stones but I will say so far I LOVE it! I've seen my stone look pink and I giggled. Outside it's clear white but inside it's slightly buttery under fluorescent bulbs. Overall I am 100% happy. My hubs did a fantastic job!

The China Dog Meat Trade:
China's dog meat trade is a horrific commercial industry that slaughters 10 million dogs each year. Dogs are tied up, trucked long distances in cramped wire cages stuffed with dozens of other dogs, then beaten, burned or boiled alive. Nobody checks to see where these dogs came from – many are heartlessly ripped from their loving homes, or darted with poison on the streets and dragged away to the slaughterhouse.
Although it was once illegal to keep dogs as pets in China, times have changed and many households now include dogs as part of the family. Many Chinese are shunning dog meat and speaking out against it, and as a result, the number of dogs slaughters is decreasing throughout China. But dogs in China still face agonizing deaths for the dog meat trade and LCA will continue the fight against dog meat until the cruelty ends.
1. Sign the petition urging Chinese officials to end the dog meat trade.
2. Write a letter to the Chinese Embassy expressing your concerns about dog meat. Use this sample letter as a guide:
Dear Ambassador Cui Tiankai,
I respectfully urge the Chinese government to adopt an animal cruelty law to end the suffering of the 10 million dogs killed annually in China's dog meat trade and change the way all animals in China are treated. I have great respect for the Chinese people and Chinese civilization, but I am horrified to learn of the brutality to animals that current laws do not address. Dogs and other animals are sentient, feeling beings who need protection from the atrocities inflicted on them every day in the dog meat industry and elsewhere. I strongly urge the Chinese government to pass a law that would ban dog slaughter, and create the offense of cruelty to all animals that penalizes cruel treatment, confinement, transport, slaughter, and neglect.
[Your Name Here]
Send your letter to the following address:
Ambassador Cui Tiankai
Chinese Embassy Chancery
3505 International Pl N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20008
3. Make sure your U.S. Congress members are supporting the bills listed below. You can find your representatives' contact information here.
- H.Res. 30 - Condemning the Dog Meat Festival in Yulin, China, and urging China to end the dog meat trade - Introduced by Rep. Alcee L.Hastings (D-FL-20) on January 6, 2017, this resolution would create an official stance of the United States condemning the Yulin Dog Meat Festival and calling for an end to dog meat in China.
- H.R.1406 - Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act of 2017 - Introduced by Rep. Hastings on March 7, 2017, this bill would outlaw the slaughter, sale and consumption of dog and cat meat (which is currently legal in 44 states) in the U.S.
- H.Res.401 - Urging Asian countries and all nations to outlaw the dog and cat meat trade and to enforce existing laws against the trade. Introduced by Rep. Hastings on June 22, 2017.

Carbon Brief Staff17.02.2012 | 6:00pm
Why switch from carbon intensive energy sources like coal to lower-emissions options? The logic is that it's a necessary step to stop global temperatures from continuing to rise. So it may have come as a surprise to some yesterday to read this headline at the Mail Online: ' Switch to low-carbon power sources 'risks making global warming worse' study warns.
In fact, as we pointed out, this headline only tells half the story – a new study actually suggests that switching from coal to low-carbon energy can stabilise global temperature, it will just take a few decades before this happens – a point made by one of the authors Ken Caldeira in the video below.
Why? Largely because switching to 'green' energy means building new green energy plants, and this emits a lot of greenhouse gases, causing some additional warming. As you might expect, once the green energy plants are up and running their greenhouse gas emissions are substantially lower than coal plants, so in the long run the change would obviously lessen global warming.
The study also suggests that switching from coal to gas power has remarkably little effect on limiting temperature rise. In this video, Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution for Science, one of the study's authors, explaining his research and its findings:

Alyssa Milano And Scarlett Johansson Get Tossed Around
I think it was just a few days ago I reported that Alyssa Milano may have been getting cozy with Justin Timberlake. As everyone knows though, things move at incredible speeds in Hollywood, and it seems that Alyssa has already abandoned the good ship Timberlake for manlier, more athletic pastures.
According to Page Six Alyssa Milano was spotted making out with the Arizona Cardinal quarterback (Matt Leinhart) at a Sunday night CAA party at Mokai.
It was also a little while back that I told you all that Justin Timberlake and Scarlett Johansson were a number as well. Well can you guess what, or should I say who that rascal Scarlett was up to the other weekend?
Doing his best Justin Timberlake type imitation Star Magazine reports that the handsome QB was also tossing passes at Scarlett Johansson. According to a report, Leinart, 23, went to Miami's Pontiac Garage Stage for the Marc Anthony-Jennifer Lopez concert with Scarlett.
Appropriately enough Justin and Matt seem to be playing a little game of catch right now. And rather than using a football, they seem to be perfectly happy tossing around sexy stars instead. Can I play guys?

Android sales will not be affected by Apple iPhone 5C, report says
Apple has recently officially unveiled the Apple iPhone 5C, a mid-range version of the Apple iPhone 5S (successor of the Apple iPhone 5). According to a report, the new iPhone will not affect the sales of Android handsets.
DigiTimes reports, "Apple's iPhone 5c is unlikely to significantly affect sales of Android-based entry-level to mid-range smartphones due to its pricing, according to sources in the handset industry in China.
"Unlocked prices of the 16GB and 32GB iPhone 5c, which are set at US$549 and US$649, respectively, are too high for the entry-level and mid-range markets, especially for emerging markets, the sources commented.
"In other words, Apple still aims to maintain its share in the mid-range to high-end segment, while leaving the entry-level to mid-range for other brands, said the sources.
"While Apple may team up with China Mobile to promote the new iPhones in China, Apple's pricing for the iPhone 5c will allow local brands to continue to penetrate the entry-level to mid-range segment, the sources added.
"On the other hand, rivals including Samsung Electronics, Sony Mobile Communications and LG Electronics will begin to market new flagship models in the fourth quarter to fend off competition from the new iPhones, noted the sources.
"While the release of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c will help ramp up Apple's market share in the fourth quarter of 2013, Android phones will continue to account for 70-80% of the smartphone OS market in the quarter, while iOS will take up no higher than 20%, estimated the sources."
Has Apple made a mistake making the iPhone 5C a mid-range offering instead of entry-level? Let us know what you think through a comment on our Phones Limited Facebook page.

Check out the first official renders of the BlackBerry Priv
Not long ago, BlackBerry CEO John Chen revealed its plans of launching the BlackBerry Priv (formerly known as the BlackBerry Venice), its high-end Android-powered slider. Shortly after, a video showed Chen going hands-on on the device in an interview, but it seemed as if the CEO was having trouble working the Priv. Now, we can take a better look at the device, as the Canadian phone maker has posted the Priv's first official renders on its official blog Inside BlackBerry.
Official renders
When the BlackBerry Priv was yet to be announced, it generated a lot of interest among BlackBerry and Android fans alike. BlackBerry says that it will soon reveal when the device will be available in stores, and based on how the device has been received, we're guessing the device will sell like hotcakes. We're hoping the Priv gets the Canadian phone maker back in the green.
BlackBerry is yet to reveal what features the Priv has to offer or what we should expect under the hood. Fortunately, past leaks have the information you may be looking for. The Priv is rumoured to feature a 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels (Quad HD). From what we can see, it will feature a curved screen like the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, which past reports have revealed. Its camera combo is said to consist of an 18-megapixel rear-facing camera with OIS (optical image stabilisation) and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, which will be ideal for snapping selfies and video chat. Under the hood is said to be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 64-bit hexa-core processor with an Adreno 418 GPU, coupled with 3 GB of RAM. This is the same processor on board the LG G4. It is expected to run Android 5.1 (Lollipop) with BlackBerry 10 slapped on top, working as a custom UI.
The Priv, according to BlackBerry, was designed with privacy in mind, which is the reason why it is called the Priv.
It still remains a mystery when BlackBerry is planning to launch the BlackBerry Priv slider, but serial leakster Evan Blass (popularly known as @evleaks on Twitter), in a past tweet, said that the device will be sold by all four major US carriers in November. We still don't know when the device will be sold in the UK.
Want to know when the BlackBerry Priv will be available in the UK? Stay tuned here at Phones LTD for further announcements.

In 2008, we held a very successful Bento Challenge here on JustBento, which got a lot of people started with bento making. A lot has happened since then - many more people are aware of the advantages of making bentos a part of their daily lives for one thing. But after reading through all the questions posted to the previous open thread, and elsewhere, I think there is still a fair amount of confusion about what exactly is required to 'get into bentos'. In addition, many people have gone beyond the basic things and are looking to expand their bento making skills.
Therefore, this year I've decided to try something new: a series of somewhat structured Bento Courses, as well as some Basic Cooking courses over on Just Hungry. Here's how they will work:
I am planning to have at least a couple of beginner courses, as well as more advanced level ones. (It does rather depend on the success of the first couple of courses, which I have already planned out, so we'll see how it goes!)
So, here's the first course, which will start in February.
I'd really like to see how much interest there is in this, so if you think you would be interested in participating, let me know in the comments!
Follow and Like our Facebook Page! And visit our sister site, Just Hungry
I would definitely do this! Wonderful idea and thanks, Maki!
I try to take lunch 3-4 days a week, though I mostly live on sandwiches. I have one of the Zojirushi Classic Bento Vacuum Lunch Jars, which can keep food hot, but I hardly ever use it these days.
Interested! For some time I made bentos for myself, but then after moving and changing diet couldn't get back into the habit. I could use this course!
I'd love to do this. My lunches are unappetizing, repetitive, uninspired - in a word: BORING. My family and I have had enough! This sounds like just the kind of thing that will help me.
I think this is a great idea! I've started making bentos several times, but never for long enough to get into the habit of it, so having something else helping me along would be fantastic.
Count me in, too! :)
I would love to participate!!
This sounds like fun! I've slacked off on bentos the last few months, for a variety of personal reasons. I still pack almost all my lunches (and breakfasts!) to work, but they're just leftovers in a bowl. I miss the variety and creativity of bentos. This sounds like it will be a fun way to ease back into it :)
And I'm so glad you're feeling well enough to do this!!!
Very interesting! I would love to take the course <3
I just got your book, so this would be great!
I am interested in learning and exchanging and giving me a challenge !
I would love to take this course!
I'd like to do this. I started packing bento lunches and dinners while I was in school, but now that I'm graduated and still looking for a job I've completely stopped. I'd love to get back into it.
I think this is a great idea and would love to participate!
I'm in!
This sounds like so much fun! I'm definitely interested, and I will be following this. I pack bento lunches everyday, so the courses will let me sharpen my skills and gain new ones, I hope. New ideas are always good!
I'd love to take a course! I hope I'll be able to!
I too would be interested.
I'm interested in the later courses- I'll be out of the country in Feb and it sounds likes I'm already past that intro course anyway, as I used to make myself daily bentos for work. However, I'm more interested in the tips and tricks and actual Japanese food compared to the ones I was making that were more things I might have taken for lunch anyway :)
Yes please
Ooh, I think this is a fabulous idea! I recently got married and would really like to start packing lunches for myself & my husband - I think I'm finally ready to stop lurking here and actually make some bento!
I would love this. I've been wanting to try bentos for a while, but didn't know where to start.
Oh, I love this idea! I've been trying to start making bentos, so this might be able to give the proper motivation.
I'm interested!
Yes, I'd love to participate! Honnestly, I don't have the book yet, but when needed for the course, I will buy it. But I think the book alone will not do it for me. But together with the course I will take my chance to get introduced.
Sounds like a great idea! Would love to try it out! :)
Would be very interested in taking part!
I am in! LOve to meet like-minded people and can't wait for your other courses! Facebooks works well since I usually post my bentos online too :P heheh.
I've been wanting to make bentos ever since I discovered your site, (a year or two ago), and have recently felt like starting, so this course has came at no better time!
I would love to join in!
I'd be interested. I've been making bento from my daughter (3) and husband but would love to get better at it!
That actually sounds awesome. I am well known at work for eating the same lunch every day and I would like to branch out.
Look forward to the learning... especially from a teacher such as you. Thank you for your willingness to guide us.
I'm very interested; count me in, Maki! :>
I would love something like this. I got your Just Bento book for Christmas but have yet to make anything, so some weekly guidance would be amazing. Thank you!
This is a wonderful idea, I just shared it with some friends that will also be interested. I can't cook much, but I'm in!
This sounds wonderful! I would love to participate!
Very interest in beginner course and beyond
This is great! I'm starting full-time work again so, the timing is perfect.
I'd love to! I've been reading your site for the past few months but have yet to make a bento! (I'm a bit worried i'll screw it up)
This course seems awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
This sounds awesome!
That's seems to be a good way to follow my resolution less junk food and bring my lunch to work!!!
And it is starting just after my holidays, perfect!
I've been following you for a while now and have been too "scared" to start for fear of failing but if you are actually giving a beginners' course, then, here's to a brand new lunch life. I'd love to join in. Thanks!
I would love to participate in this!
This sounds great! Count me in!
I loved your book and am very excited about you offering more of your wisdom up! Count me in for sure.
Great! I just discovered Benton making. That's exactly what I would like to do. I'm fed up with cantine food at work.
Me and my mum are in. She doesn't know it yet, but I'll get her to it. ;)
She's got to do the Bento for my dad as well...
I would love to participate! I have your book, and have made a couple of proud attempts, but am still struggling to make it a habit. Thanks so much...what a great offer!
Im very curious as I've been trying to eat healthier in the hope to lose weight but havent been able to make one. I really wouldnt know where to start.

Anyway, I did it! and Malachi did too so I am so super proud of us both. Overall, this was an amazing experience for me. I definitely learned a lot about discipline, receiving grace from the Lord during challenging times, and being able to achieve things that I didn't think were possible for me.
Some of my highlights from this Whole 30 Challenge are:
1. Actually completing the 30 days without cheating once
2. Learning new recipes for meals
3. Doing pull ups Rx
4. Discovering that it is possible to make a grilled cheese sandwich for your son without taking a bite
5. Seeing more definition and tone in my body
6. Receiving so much love and support from my family and friends
7. Feeling more energized and less need for naps during the day
8. Dropping body fat-I lost 4%
9. Being able to do 100 burpees in 5:56 and intimidating my husband with my fast time so he doesn't try to do the WOD:)
10. Getting to share with a few people at the box that the Lord's grace is what is getting me through this challenge.
So, the take away is that this diet plan truly has a lot of benefits. I feel stronger, fitter, more energized, and overall just more in control of my eating habits. I really feel my view of food has changed from something that I indulged in to more of a fuel source for my body. I absolutely will stick with eating a Whole 9 diet, probably not 100%, but most of the time. Thanks for challenging us all Crossfit Strong! It has been an awesome 30 days!!!

As the UN considers a no-fly zone (and more) over Libya today, Qaddafi's forces move ever closer to the rebel stronghold of Benghazi. Some experts warn of a bloodbath if Qaddafi is not stopped--on February 22, Qaddafi himself declared he would "cleanse Libya house by house." Foreign Policy reminds us "the first reason for U.S. inaction to prevent the mass killing of civilians is supposed lack of knowledge" and what senior National Security Council official Samantha Power pointed out in her book A Problem From Hell: "The most common response is, 'We didn't know.' This is not true...Because genocide is usually veiled under the cover of war, some U.S. officials at first had genuine difficulty distinguishing deliberate atrocities against civilians from conventional conflict."
Reports out of Tripoli say that people there are afraid even to watch television. Certainly there has been silence in Twitter corners. One of the last dispatches from @Abukhit was March 3: "What should we do?"
