Assuming I went for the crossover again
Sonic Diver Infinity
It's external appearance mostly remain unchanged, however, it's internal system had undergo massive overhaul thanks to the technology shared by I.S. academy. Field projector and Passive Inertia Canceler had been applied to increase it's defense capability, while at the same time improving it's mobility to a whole new level. Reduced dependence and advanced nanomachine preservation system allow for tripled operation time as well as nanosuit recycling, reducing flight-hour cost to a quarter of the original model.
T-301D2 Vic Viper Mk.II
Is built by applying Vic Viper spare parts to outsized Sonic Diver/Infinite Stratos hybrid frame, allowing similar transformation to it's smaller brethren (Humanoid A-Mode and birdlike G-Mode). Possessing stronger defensive measure and higher mobility than that of original viper, it nevertheless came with a drawback, such as relative high maintenance cost, increased weight, and weaker firepower.

I might need to come up with something better later... Then again, the reason why you don't look down is because when it comes to the IS, you seek to do something different than merely making a war machine like the others, something that's not what the IS is intended for in the context of the status quo.

It does smell like a wee bit like angst at a distance. Can't say much but I'd think there's definitely some tragic elements there.
Finally done marathon-ing SAO. My my, it's quite intense towards the end... What's the worst damage that can be inflicted if a sixteen year-old punches someone in the face with armor-padded knuckles?
By "armor-padded" I mean titanium-alloy armor-padded.

I'll have to read again for that. Only thing I could gather is that she's so responsible that she's willing to put herself in harm's way, with only an IS-scaled weapon, to protect the Silver Gospel from Madoka(Who was in an IS during then).

Well, alright then.
I have some things in mind with her. The main problem I have with her is her exact age. It's stated that she's in her 20s, and if it turns out that she's 21-22 years of age, then I think I can go on with that. 23 might be really pushing it...
If she's older, then I'll just have to drop the ideas I have for her.

I would, but now that my fiction's going to tie into the actual canon storyline, the last thing I want to do is stray off of it. Basically, I want to be as close to the canon as possible.
So, have you seen the "Enigma-Gears" info a few pages back?

Point of reference to anyone writing a drinking scene without having ever drunk... Sake burns in your stomach and not in your throat. Not sure if it's sweet sake or normal sake but it goes down like juice until it reaches the back of your throat. There it ignites until it feels like a rock dropped down into your gut...

Western alcohol goes into your mouth either burning hot or burning cold. Either way it's refreshing sort of aquired taste and sensation. The bitterness accents subtle sweetness and flavors while it goes down smoothly through the throat onwards. The burning generally stops at the lungs but can drop at the stomach it you drink suddenly or attempt a bottom's up. The satisfying sigh after such heavy drinking is both the gasp for air and the need to alleviate the fumes of alcohol overcoming one's senses.
If I had to compare, wibnes and brandy feel like getting punched in the head, or gut depending whether you drink calmly or hurriedly. Sake is just full on body blows.

Motivation Enough
Pastor Steve Ellison
One of the greatest problems in today's church in America is a lack of motivation. In fact this may be the largest unresolved issue in modern Christianity. We have unlimited supplies of easily affordable copies of the Bible in almost every language. We have almost innumerable English translations. We have comfortable meeting places and virtually no persecution. And yet the great unanswered question of our day is: How can we get people to move? In Titus 3:3-7, the Holy Spirit answered this question. He gave us two sure-fire methods that we can use to get ourselves and others motivated enough to get off the pew and in the game. Titus 3:3-8 states, "For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. 4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, 5 He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." NASU
Verse three challenges us to think back about what we were like before Christ redeemed us. The list is pretty comprehensive and sobering. We (yes, you and I) were foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to sin, and hateful. In short, we were wasting our lives. Our Christian obligation and responsibility to the lost is much easier to accept when we take a little trip down memory lane remembering that we were once exactly like them. Perhaps they irritate us. Perhaps they are spiteful to us. If they are, we must remember that we were once just like them, if not worse.
The second motivational tool also involves remembering. Verses four to seven force us to recall the unmerited and marvelous mercies of God. Verse four speaks of an epiphany. God's kindness and love simply appeared; it shone forth. Verse five reminds us that God saved us certainly not because of anything good in us but rather simply because of His great mercy. God caught us and cleaned us. He regenerated us; made us new creations. He gave us Christ and the Holy Spirit. His grace justified us. Free of charge, He gave us eternal life. May I remind you that according to Romans 5:10, He did all of this while we were still His enemies.
Can we possibly need more motivation to get out of our seats and join God in His redemptive work? Surely our trip down memory lane reminding us about the pit from which we were dug and the undeserved eternal life which He has given us is motivation enough. Peter understood this also. 1 Peter 2:9-10 states, "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy." ESV It is a privilege to proclaim the excellencies of Him who saved you. Surely, that is motivation enough. ……..…..email@example.com

UPDATE: Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater's efforts to put bring all state contracts into the open on a state-run transparency web site was hit with a major setback as House leaders used the budget conference process to insert broad exemptions into the transparency effort.
Rather than post all contract data on a secure statewide website for the public to view, the House General Government Appropriations Committee wants to exempt all the Cabinet agencies and the judicial branch from the review. That would include all contracts handled by the Department of Financial Services, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Attorney General and the judicial branch, including state attorneys. Only the governor's agencies would be included in the disclosure.
In addition, if bills moving through the Legislature this session are passed, all Medicaid managed care agreements would be shifted from the governor's Agency for Health Care Administration to the Department of Financial Services and those high-profile contracts would not be required to be posted on the public website.
"We kind of see this as a first step,'' said Rep. Clay Ingram, R-Pensacola, chairman of the House Government Operations and Appropriations Subcommitee. "We wanted to begin the process of posting contracts online. We thought that by exempting the Cabinet agencies for the time being is the best approach. The thought is to extend it later."
Sen. Alan Hays, chairman of the Senate General Government Committee, presented the Senate's offer, which rejected the House exemptions. Instead, the Senate wants the House to adopt its proposal that would require the governor that maintain a single website to host the state's budget transparency process while the CFO's web site would have to include all state agencies, including the judicial branch.
Florida's $72 billion budget is comprised of $50 billion in outsourced contracts and grants to private and not-for-profit companies. Atwater has urged lawmakers to require state agencies to post their contracdts online to allow the public to scrutinize them. The more scrutiny, the less likely contracts will be extended without cause, or costs approved without performance measures, Atwater argues.
The House and Senate have been advancing Atwater's idea through HB 5401 and SB 1764, which do not include the exemptions. Atwater spokeswoman Anna Alexopoulos said that CFO was disappointed that any agency would be exempted from posting its contracts on the website, known as the Florida Accountability Contract Tracking System. "Our department has already put our contract information online,'' she said.
Hays said that because the two chambers appear to be so divided over the issue, it is likely to be decided by House Speaker Will Weatherford and Senate President Don Gaetz.

How To Upgrade a Kitchen with Chalkboard Paint Meg's February Jumpstart Project 2009
Project: Kitchen Up-Grade
Name: Meg
Time: One afternoon
Cost: $10-$20
Meg's kitchen is the command center of her home, but it's rather bare and has little storage. She and her husband have been meaning to hang art, start a calendar system, and get organized, and the Jumpstart gave them just the push they needed! See how they upgraded with some simple tools, a shelf, and chalkboard paint.
Chalkboard paint
Paint brushes
Painters tape
2 vintage brackets.
Our kitchen is HUGE but making it functional has taken a lot of planning and time. It is a large room but has little to no storage or counter space. This is also the only space where we like to have our calendar and grocery lists. So this Sunday we did a much-needed up-grade to the heart of our home.
First, I took everything off the walls. It was all a bit cluttered and didn't have a unifying design. So I took everything down.
Then I went over to the wall where we want our calendar and lists and taped the border of where we want our chalkboard paint.
I shook and stirred my paint, and gave the taped area two coats of paint.
While that was drying, I plotted out where the shelf would go on the other wall. My husband and I hung the brackets and placed the shelf on top. It is just a simple white shelf, but we used ornate black vintage brackets.
Our large Beatles piece went above the shelf, and I starting hanging the plates and other prints.
Once the chalkboard paint dried I hung our dry-erase calendar and added the finishing touches.
Our kitchen has a lot more storage space with the new shelf, and bringing the storage up frees the counter-space below. The wall by the door is now very functional and can be used to help plan our weeks out. We've been meaning to do this forever, but the Jumpstart got us going!
The vintage shelf brackets brought the shelf to a whole other level. I highly suggest this.

A quick recap of the last 10 tournaments at the TPC at River Highlands:
Bubba Watson trailed by six strokes heading into Sunday, but shot a final-round 66 to finish in a three-way tie at 14-under-par 266 with Scott Verplank and Corey Pavin. On the first playoff hole, Watson's birdie was matched by Verplank. Pavin was eliminated with a par. The second playoff hole was the par-3 16th hole where Verplank failed to make par from behind the green and Watson made a two-putt par to earn his first tour win.
2009 Travelers Championship
Kenny Perry shot a tournament-record 258 (22 under) to earn his 14th career PGA Tour victory. The 48-year-old Perry held a five-stroke lead heading into the final four holes Sunday but had to fend off a late-charging Paul Goydos, who eagled No. 15 and made birdie on the 16th. Perry answered and put the tournament away on the 17th after hitting his approach shot to 8 feet and making birdie.
2008 Travelers Championship
Stewart Cink earned his fifth PGA Tour victory. Leading by one stroke as he approached the final hole, Cink drilled a 366-yard tee shot, the longest drive of the tournament's final round, into the crowds lining the 18th hole. He recovered, made par and finished 18-under par for the tournament. His score of 66-64-65-67-262 marked a personal best for 72 holes. Cink got his first PGA Tour victory at this tournament during his rookie year in 1997 and joined just five other players who had recorded multiple wins at Connecticut's PGA event: Billy Casper (1963, 1965, 1968, 1973), Arnold Palmer (1956, 1960), Peter Jacobsen (1984, 2003), Paul Azinger (1987, 1989) and Phil Mickelson (2001, 2002).
2007 Travelers Championship
On the final hole of regulation, Trinity grad Jay Williamson put his second shot about 12 feet from the hole. Hunter Mahan answered, putting his between Williamson's and the hole. Williamson two-putted, while Mahan sunk the birdie to go to a sudden-death playoff. In a repeat of the last hole in regulation, Williamson and Mahan hit the fairway with their tee shots. Williamson's second shot stopped about where Mahan's was the last time they played the hole. Mahan lofted a 9-iron to within 2 feet. When Williamson missed the birdie putt, Mahan tapped in for the win.
2006 Buick Championship
Fairfield native J.J. Henry won his first and only tour title. That year, he had five top-10 finishes and earned more than $2.3 million.
2005 Buick Championship
Brad Faxon tied the course record by shooting 61 on Sunday. That score put him at 14 under and into a tie with Tjaart van der Walt. Faxon birdied the first hole of the sudden-death playoff to win his seventh PGA Tour event.
2004 Buick Championship
Woody Austin calmly made a 6-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole to defeat Tim Herron and earn $756,000, the largest check in his nine-year PGA Tour career.
2003 Greater Hartford Open
Peter Jacobsen shot a 3-under 67 for a two-stroke win, his first tour title in eight years. Jacobsen, who also won the tournament in 1984, had at least a share of the lead for all four rounds and led by one stroke after 54 holes. As Jacobsen's final putt dropped, his 21-year-old daughter Kristen ran onto the green and into his arms. She was a toddler the last time he won in Cromwell.
2002 Canon Greater Hartford Open
Phil Mickelson shot 66-64 on the weekend and came from five shots back Sunday to become the first Canon GHO champion to successfully defend his title. He defeated Davis Love III and Jonathan Kaye by one stroke with a birdie on the 72nd hole. With arguably the best PGA Tour field in the history of the GHO -- one that included Mickelson, Love, Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia, Greg Norman and Vijay Singh -- a record 323,000 spectators turned out during the week.
2001 Canon Greater Hartford Open
After shooting a career-best 61 on Saturday, Phil Mickelson sealed a thrilling one-shot victory on the final hole. The win capped a week that saw former champions Arnold Palmer and Lee Trevino and record crowds of more than 318,000 fans celebrate the GHO's 50th anniversary..

By Andy Guess at Inside Higher Ed
It started as a student accusation of harassment against a long-tenured professor. Now, with the faculty's backing, the dispute has turned into a showdown over autonomy, academic freedom and governance procedures.
Donald Hindley first learned through twin October 30 letters that he was deemed in violation of Brandeis University's nondiscrimination policy for allegedly uttering "inappropriate and racially derogatory statements." The provost, Marty Krauss, informed the professor of politics that a "monitor" would observe his classroom and that he would be required to attend "anti-discrimination training." The administration's sanctions were deemed unusual by veteran observers of academic freedom, such as the American Association of University Professors, and the allegations set off a furor among faculty members at the institution, named for the free-expression defender and Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis.
"Brandeis still refuses to let me or my lawyers know what I am supposed to have said or done that allegedly constituted racial harassment and/or discrimination," Hindley said in an e-mail.
Last month, the provost rejected an appeal by the university's Committee on Faculty Rights and Responsibilities, leading Hindley to seek counsel and outside backing to pressure the university directly. At issue is a fundamental dispute about which is more important: protecting academic freedom, or ensuring students' willingness to come forward with allegations of harassment?
The monitoring of his class has stopped this semester, and Hindley has so far refused to participate in the mandated training sessions. According to statements he and others have made to campus newspapers, the allegations revolve around students' interpretation of comments he made using the term "wetback," a derogatory reference to Mexican immigrants. Hindley, who has taught at Brandeis for almost 50 years, said he was using the term in his Latin American politics course in the context of explaining how it had been used historically. The department chair, Steven L. Burg, has previously said that at least two students approached him separately about Hindley's remarks.
A campus publication, The Brandeis Hoot, pseudonymously interviewed one of the students, who said Hindley had used phrases like "mi petite negrita" and "wetbacks."
"It seems to me that the administration is almost happy this came about, so they can nail him," the student told the paper. "He's been around forever and I've heard comments of dislike from the past decades-there have been other complaints [about] that. I think they're attempting to give him his due process now since he has been here so long-at least that's the impression that I've heard."
Officials from the university declined to comment last week, but pressure mounted on Wednesday when the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education publicized Hindley's case on its Web site.
The dispute first escalated when the Faculty Senate took up the issue in a November 8 emergency session, unanimously expressing that it was "seriously concerned about procedures…. The Human Resources policies stress the importance of resolving such issues in an 'informal manner' with 'flexible' solutions. Furthermore, the Provost's letter to the professor includes reference to 'termination' as a possibility if the professor does not accept the suggested remedies. This violates section VIIC2a of the Faculty Handbook: 'When considering suspension or dismissal, the Provost will first consult with the Faculty Senate Council.' No such consultation occurred before this letter was delivered."
Accepting Hindley's appeal, the Committee on Faculty Rights and Responsibilities wrote to the provost on November 29, asking her to fully reverse her decision, citing threats to academic freedom, procedural irregularities and excessive punishments. For example, the committee said that the sanctions against Hindley should have been lifted under the appeals process; instead, a monitor was immediately sent to his classes after the decision.
The committee argues that the administration didn't follow basic procedures as outlined in the Faculty Handbook and the nondiscrimination policy, such as allowing Hindley to choose a witness to be present throughout the process. Responding to the committee's letter on December 10, the provost rejected its findings and referred to "errors, both factual and legal," in the analysis. "I am committed to academic freedom for our faculty and students, but I am equally committed to the principle that we will not tolerate racially harassing speech," Krauss wrote.
She continued that when interviewed by the investigator, Hindley admitted to making the remarks but was "dismissive of their impact." (Hindley, for his part, has referred to the proceedings as "the Stalin purges.")
Krauss cited portions of the university's nondiscrimination procedures stating that those rules, not the Faculty Handbook, govern the process of handling such allegations. The faculty committee, in asserting its power to appeal the ruling, maintains that the handbook grants it jurisdiction in the case. Neither side is backing down, as a response the committee sent to the Faculty Senate chairman on the same day, December 10, made clear:
"We must face the possibility that our faculty dispute resolution process is breaking down. The latest conflict with the Provost over jurisdiction, legal interpretations, and complex facts may have entered the stage where further exchanges are futile, or at least too complicated for most faculty colleagues to follow in detail. There is something very serious that is now broken, and the Senate may be the only route for restoring some sense of order."Download file "Harassment vs. academic freedom, round two"

Institutional Review Board
The mission of the College of Saint Benedict (CSB) and Saint John's University (SJU) Institutional Review Board (IRB) is to protect the dignity and rights of participants in research conducted either on or by members of the CSB and SJU communities.
Why Does the IRB Exist?
The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University requires that all research activities involving human subjects comply with the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects (45 CFR 46). The IRB exists to ensure that:
- Risks have been minimized and reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits;
- Informed consent will be obtained from subjects and appropriately documented; and
- The privacy and safety of subjects will be maintained.
The responsibility for identifying specific risks to human participants rests with the researcher. If you are a CSB/SJU faculty member, administrator, staff member, or student, you must submit an application to the IRB and receive written approval before you can begin recruiting subjects.
What is Research?
The Federal Register (Volume 56, Number 117, Tuesday, June 18, 1991) defines research as "a systematic investigation, including research development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge" (p. 28013). In most cases, federally funded research requires IRB approval. For more information on federal guidelines see the Human Subjects Regulations Decision Chart.
Does My Study Qualify as Research?
If you believe based on the definition above that your study qualifies as research, you must submit an IRB application. To determine the type of application you will need to submit, please go to the IRB Application Page.
There may be activities that occur at the institutions that are labeled research but they fall outside of the strict definition of research from the Federal Register. These activities may not require a submission of an IRB application. Examples of these activities are:
- Research that Occurs within the Context of a Class - Classroom activities that are solely instructional do not need to be reviewed as long as the work fits ALL of the following:
Is a normal part of the student's course work, the only participants are students in the class;
Is supervised by a faculty member;
Has as its primary purpose the development of the student's research skills;
Does not deal with issues of a sensitive nature;
Is not research that is expected to result in publication or some other form of public dissemination. Note, scholarship and creativity day is considered public dissemination.
- Oral History
- Journalism
- Research not using human subjects (if animal research is being conducted please review Animal Use and Care Committee Policies
- Program evaluation
When must I submit an application and why?
The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University requires that all research activities involving human subjects comply with the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects (45 CFR 46). According to this policy, research activities that intervene in people's lives, observe human behavior, or use data obtained directly or indirectly from living individuals must be reviewed and approved by an Institutional Review Board to ensure that:
- Risks have been minimized and reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits;
- Informed consent will be obtained from subjects and appropriately documented; and
- The privacy and safety of subjects will be maintained.
Please note: The vast majority of research will not fit the exempt category and must be reviewed. If you are unsure if your project qualifies as research please contact Bob Kachelski, the IRB chair. If an IRB application is not needed there are still expectations related to ethical conduct of research.
Ethical Conduct of Research
Adhering to the principles of ethical conduct of research is required of all projects involving human subjects:
- Evaluation of Ethical Acceptability of Research. The researcher is responsible for determining the ethical acceptability of the research and must incorporate any safeguards necessary to protect human subjects.
- Ethical Practice. The research establishes and maintains responsibility for ethical conduct of research including protections for human subjects and others involved in the project. This includes reporting any adverse events immediately to the IRB, informing the IRB of any changes in the study protocol prior to implementation, and maintaining documents (informed consent) for a period of three (3) years after completion of the research.
- Freedom from Coercion. Participants must be free to decide whether or not to participate in the research without this impacting the relationship of the participant with others involved directly or indirectly (including the College/University) with the research. Participants also have the right to end their research participation at any time.
- Debriefing. Any research that methodologically requires deception must include a statement of debriefing at the conclusion of the research. The debriefing must include the rationale for the need for deception, full clarification of the study purpose, and removal of any misconceptions. The researcher is responsible for taking measures to assure that no damaging consequences occur as a result of deception and that appropriate support is provided to research participants.
- Freedom from Harm. The researcher is responsible for protecting participants from harm that may result from the research protocol whenever possible. This includes any related physical and emotional discomforts and harm that may occur prior to, during, or after the research. A research procedure that is likely to result in serious or long-term harm will not be approved. The researcher is responsible for identifying undesired consequences of the research and notifying appropriate authorities, including the IRB chair. The researcher is responsible for providing recommendations for appropriate aftercare.
- Confidentiality. All research subjects have the right to complete confidentiality of the data and information given to the researchers. The simplest way to guarantee confidentiality is to collect data without any identifying information. However, it is sometimes necessary to collect identifying information, such as when data is collected at different times in the study and needs to be matched. This is best accomplished by using confidential numerical codes, strictly limiting access to the list that matches numerical codes with the subjects' names, and storing this list in a secure location. Once data has been collected, all such lists and numerical codes can be deleted or shredded. The privacy and confidentiality of research data provided by the participants must be respected and the procedures for doing so described in the IRB application.

Amid HIV Stigma and Negativity, Celebrating the 'Lollipops and Butterflies'
December 6, 2013
I remember a few years back when my oldest son had become quite a handful as he entered his teen years. In between his monosyllabic grunts and barely audible moans we were supposed to interpret his needs or better yet be amazingly adept mind-readers just to get through each 24-, no make that 12-hour, time period. He came out on the other side of those years OK and is doing really great. We as his parents wear our badges of bravery and show our scars proudly, especially in front of our 14-year-old son, as if to say, "you try any of that S**T, we have YOUR NUMBER ... Don't even think about it Bucko!!" So far, so good ... but really the parenting season has only just begun. It gets harder as they get older, we have found; don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
Anyway, my favorite themes with my oldest as he managed to spew the wrongdoings of the world against him were always ones of hope, faith, joy, peace, understanding and love ... He summed it up as "Lollipops and Butterflies." It's the perfect catch phrase for all that warm, fuzzy stuff and the "angels" that deliver it that we really can't explain or find a reason for that just effortlessly helps us over the rough patch, through the day and into the dawn of tomorrow. We all have them. Maybe it's hard to find them. Maybe they are so minute that you can't see them and it takes someone else -- a partner, a parent, a friend, a lover, a cousin, a sister, a brother, an aunt, a child, etc. -- to see them for you.
I know I've been blessed with quite a few angels on my path of life that have helped me to see my "Lollipop and Butterfly" moments with clarity. These angels have appeared in my times of despair and when I needed them most, all without me asking. Oftentimes these angels went on their way after and we haven't connected again for many years later. I know they were there though when I needed them most. They gave me clarity to see things as they truly were and they gave me the support to make it through just another day. Without them even knowing it, they became the reason my crappy day turned into a good day. They put a smile on my face, a little laughter in my soul and brightness in my affect.
My son and I were talking this week about the progress he has made in the last couple years as he is now a young adult and getting ready to go out into the world on his own in a few months as he has joined the military. He chuckled at my remembrance of the "Lollipops and Butterflies." He can see them now too. Maybe not as clear as I do; but he acknowledges they exist. He has a girlfriend now. He says sappy things have started to run off on him. They have agreed to no secrets in their relationship. He told his girlfriend, "my mom has AIDS." He was nervous. She was understanding but she asked him to let me tell her when I was ready.
I had a particularly annoying experience with uneducated health care professionals over the past few weeks, not just once but twice. I had a doctor ask me "So you have AIDS ... When do you think you will get HIV?" and I had a young research professional not understand that you canNOT get HIV through casual contact and she felt the need to use a tissue to handle my purse to hand it to me so that I could get something out of it while I was undergoing my magnet treatment. I was trying to understand how and why in 2013 this lack of education is still out there. I was extremely upset, agitated and saddened. The last thing I wanted to do was risk telling my son's 18-year-old girlfriend that I had AIDS. It did not seem like a very good choice. I told him I would have a discussion with her eventually. My son knew that my eventually could be a really, really, really long time.
So I waited. I continued to live my life, host her at our house, eat with her, laugh with her, hang out with her, take my medicine in front of her, laugh in front of her -- in other words do everything normal people do. I made no special arrangements. I didn't alter my way of living at all. We just lived our lives. We talked about a million different issues and subjects. Finally, one night we cooked out in our backyard and my son had several of his friends over. It was a really hectic weekend as the teens came and went. At the end of the night, his girlfriend and I were still sitting out on the patio and she started to ask me some very personal questions. I started to answer them and then stopped. I knew she knew. I asked her why she didn't just come out and ask me. I asked her if there was anything she needed to know or wanted to know. She said she just wanted me to tell her so that she would know that I trusted her with this information. Then she said "I love you."
At that very moment a big yellow and white butterfly came right in between us and landed on the glass table for 2 seconds and then took off again. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. We both laughed and laughed and laughed and called out to my son! "Lollipops and Butterflies!"
I forgot all the negativity, discrimination and stupidity that I had recently endured. I celebrated that very good moment in between. It was just another of so many in my life. I hope you can find yours.
Until next time.

A proposed wood pellet storage facility for the Morehead City port is an opportunity to modernize facilities and support the state�s largest industry, port officials said.
MOREHEAD CITY � A proposed wood pellet storage facility for the Morehead City port is an opportunity to modernize facilities and support the state�s largest industry, port officials said.
Thomas Bradshaw, executive director of the North Carolina Ports, said agribusiness is North Carolina�s largest economy at $74 billion a year and that the North Carolina Maritime Strategy noted market potential in areas such as the export of wood pellets.
Bradshaw said the report showed a growing demand for wood products over the next 10 years as European electric utilities move away from burning coal.
�Utility companies in Europe have made the conscious decision to go to burning less coal and reduce their carbon footprint,� he said.
The countries are looking to the Southeast United States, particularly North Carolina. And it�s a chance for the Morehead City port, which already exports wood chips, to expand on a product is already does well with.
�We saw that as an opportunity and that�s why we pursued it,� said Bradshaw.
But there were questions, and Bradshaw and other state representatives attended a special meeting Tuesday with the Morehead City Town Council and Carteret County Board of Commissioners to provide information on the proposed project.
Morehead City Mayor Jerry Jones asked about public safety and fire suppression at the facility.
Mark Blake, with the engineering department of the N.C. State Ports Authority, said there are no formal designs for the facility, which is in the conceptual stage, but it will be state-of-the art and equipped with fire suppression equipment along the conveyor belt and computer sensors and temperature control within a dome storage areas.
Within the local community, the impact on traffic, particularly the trains that run through downtown Morehead City, are a concern. While a representative from Norfolk Southern could not be present, Bradshaw presented information provided.
The railroad said there would be no more than 75 cars in a single train and the company expects the number to be closer to 65 cars based on current volume expectations.
Only one train at a time can be handled on the line between New Bern and Morehead City.
Bradshaw said that the additional train traffic is expected to translate into about an additional train a day for five or six days a week.
Bradshaw said the ports authority and railroad will work together to address traffic logistics.
�We�ll try to move them at odd hours so there�s no disruption to tourism traffic,� he said.
The two entities are also working on design options, such as a loop track to the port allowing it to pull entire trains onto the port at one time in order to minimize interruptions on U.S. 70.
The plans are to locate the facility on the northeast corner of the main terminal. Morehead City Councilman Demus Thompson asked why the port�s Radio Island property wasn�t used for the facility. Bradshaw said the goal is to have the facility up and operational by Jan. 1, and that wouldn�t be possible using Radio Island.
�We can�t get there any quicker at another location,� Bradshaw said.
Clay Altizer with the N.C. Forest Service said Eastern North Carolina has the forestry resources to support the demand and keep a sustainable resource.
�There�s certainly room for the wood pellet industry,� he said.
The forest resource would primarily be from forests on privately held land.
Local officials said they want to see the project done right and agreed that it could be an economic boost to the area and the state.
�This could be a catalyst for economic growth,� Morehead City Councilman Harvey Walker said.

Microsoft reported largely positive earnings for its second fiscal quarter today.
Revenue for the quarter, which ended on Dec. 31, 2012, was $21.5 billion, up from $20.9 billion in the previous year's Q2 period. The company beat earnings-per-share expectations for the quarter by one cent at 0.76 earnings per share. Profit or net income was $6.4 billion, which was down compared with the $6.6 billion figure reported in last year's Q2 period. After-hours trading showed a 2.06% dip in Microsoft's stock price today, per Yahoo Finance reporting.
The Q2 earnings were affected by various deferrals associated with Microsoft's promotional sales campaigns, including the Windows and Office upgrade offers. However, Microsoft's financial results for this quarter also included earnings from early Windows 8 sales.
Unlike Microsoft's Q1 results, the Windows Division was the top money maker in this period. It brought in $5.9 billion, up 24% compared with last year's Q2 period. Server and Tools placed second, bringing in $5.2 billion revenue, up 9% vs. last year's Q2 period. The Online Services Division was up 11 percent, delivering $869 million in revenue for the quarter.
The two divisions that faltered this quarter were the Microsoft Business Division and the Entertainment and Devices Division. The Business Division pulled in $5.7 billion, down 10% compared with last year's Q2 revenue result. Microsoft's earnings statement claims that Business Division earnings were really down just 3% for the quarter, using non-GAAP accounting methods, if upgrade and presales offerings are considered. The Entertainment and Devices Division produced $3.8 billion in revenue, down 11% compared with last year's Q2 period. If that figure were adjusted with non-GAAP accounting, factoring in a video game revenue deferral, the revenue decrease for the Entertainment and Devices Division would be just 2%, according to Microsoft.
Microsoft noted some positive signs on the horizon. Chief Financial Officer Peter Klein indicated in a released statement that the company's licensing renewals across the Windows, Server and Tools and Business Divisions "grew double digits" for the quarter.
Microsoft's Q2 financials can be accessed at this page.

There's certainly a lot of food related advice for pregnant women - no raw eggs, no liver, no unpasteurised dairy products, go easy with the caffeine, go easy with the tuna, no marlin and swordfish and no raw fish or shellfish. There's also conflicting advice about eating peanuts (of particular concern as my husband has eczema).
The advice I've found and been given, however, is focused almost entirely on foods found in European diets.
I'd be very grateful to learn which foods women in Japan are recommended to eat and avoid.
For instance, I understand that Korean women are urged to eat plenty of wakame, but I've also heard that Japanese women might be told to take care not to eat too much wakame and other seaweeds. I'm also not sure about Calpis.
I'll be spending a couple of weeks in Japan next month, so I'd be very grateful for any information that will help me maintain an adventurous diet. If there are any sashimi/sushi items that are considered risk free I'd particularly like to know about them. It's bad enough that I've developed an acute aversion for any kind of green tea!
Many thanks!
Hmmm... what would those be?
Kappamaki (nori, rice and cucumber) and that's it, I can't think of any others that can be found in Japan.
The alternatives that are probably safe to eat include inari sushi (rice, mirin soaked tofu and sesame) and maki-sushi with fried prawns or other fried/grilled seafoods, like anago or unagi eel
Tamago sushi (rice topped with rolled omelet) should be fine as the egg is cooked.
Here's some fried prawn onigiri I had last year http://bp2.blogger.com/_n1sjt7SfiAw/SFuZ9IEV09I/AAAAAAAAAKs/TDMaAq_1Vhg/... don't know what they're called though (EDIT now I do, tenmusu, a speciality of the Nagoya region... which is where the photo was taken)
There are other onigiri made with cooked salmon, ume, konbu, kelp, tuna-mayo etc I can still have.
But these are all very tame choices I'm already very familiar with.
What I'm not sure about is if the same advice about not eating raw fish applies to eating fish in Japan as it may be processed/treated differently. And then there are other fuzzy areas like the fish used in heavily vinegared styles of sushi such as narezushi. It's not technically cooked, so is it OK?
Hi Loretta,
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
This is what I've seen from some Japanese sites about eating recommendations for pregnant women.
- Aim for +50 calories more than your normal daily intake of calories during the first trimester, +250 calories during the second trimester, +500 during the third trimester; and +450 calories when you are nursing.
- Eat lots of calcium, especially in the form of dairy products, also whole little fish like chirimenjako and shirasuboshi, nuts, seeds. The developing baby will absorb the calcium it needs from the mother's body anyway, so the extra calcium is especially necessary for the mother's health. I guess in that sense Calpis is fine since it's dairy based, though it is high in sugar so you should probably just have it in moderation.
- Eats lots of folic acid (aka Vitamin M). This can be from foods like spinach, dried wakame, organ meats, egg yolk, milk and beans. Some sites also recommend taking folic acid and/or general B-complex supplements (though you have to take any 'take supplements' advice with a grain of salt...the nutritional supplement business is booming in Japan)
- Eat iron-rich foods like green leafy vegetables, organ meats, red meat
- Fish in general is recommended as being highly nutritious and safe, but certain fish that may be high in mercury are to be eaten in moderation. The main culprit here is tuna.
I found this page (English) on the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare site: Advice for Pregnant Women on Fish Consumption concerning Mercury Contamination. This has a list of fish consumed in Japan that is deemed to have high mercury levels, which should be eaten sparingly if at all by pregnant women. That list is from 2001 though - this Japanese page is a bit more up to date. Basically if you aren't eating dolphin(!) and whale(!) the fish to eat sparingly would be various kinds of tuna, yellow porgy, maybe some types of cod.
Japanese sites don't really advise against eating raw fish per se, just to watch out for fish that could be high in mercury. I know this goes against what Western sites say. If you like sushi, you could have sushi made with tamagoyaki, kanpyou (dried gourd, used in futomaki and kanpyoumaki), pickled vegetables, etc if you want to avoid fish - or boiled/fried shrimp (prawns), cooked eel (unagi, anago), etc. too. Or you could just avoid maguro sushi and enjoy whitefish sushi and so on.
That's the scientific info. On a sort of folk medicine level, in general pregant women are recommended not to eat food that are too cooling (or yin) to the body. For instance, there is a saying 'akinasu yome ni kuwasuna' (Don't let the daughter-in-law eat autumn eggplant(aubergines)) - this is supposed to be because eggplants, like other members of the nightshade family (tomatoes, potatoes, etc) are supposed to have a cooling effect on the body, which is not good for pregnant or nursing females in particular and females in general. If you want to look up that sort of thing, look into macrobiotics or Chinese herbal pages about 'yang' (warming), 'yin/yang' (balanced) and 'yin' (cooling) foods.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Thanks Maki!
Eating more than before is rather difficult at the moment. Just keeping what I eat down is a challenge so I'm trying to make every mouthful count, nutritionally speaking. But I'm hoping that I'll be feeling better by April.
Both those lists and the run down you gave are very useful and I'm very grateful you've taken the time to help me make informed choices. My UK GP mirrored the advice about folic acid, particularly for the past three months, and it's the only supplement I've taken.
I notice that the hoya sample that was tested had no mercury traces. I wonder if I'm going to be brave enough to finally give that delicacy a try! :D
Thanks again!
enhorabuena loretta!! :D
This is cool... we are thinking about having a baby so this info is great for me too! :D
Also, pregant women are supposed not to eat raw meat (this includes spanish ham, roast beef, carpaccio, and so on) so take a look on what you eat!
Mmm... now I have a crush for inarizushi... >_<

The only meat I eat now is fish, but it's still good to know the advice from the Spanish authorities.
The only Spanish food I've cut out from my diet is horchata de chufa. I normally get a big supply of tiger nuts each year and make it myself, but there are bacteria issues with these tubers, particularly when they're stored over long periods (and the conditions I can store them in are far from perfect). I've never got sick yet from drinking horchata, but this is not a time in my life to be taking risks, especially now my immune system is at a low.
i didn't know horchata was 'dangerous'. I absolutely LOVE it (my grandmother's family was from Alicante) but I cut it out from my diet ... because it's too much fattening lol!
How should chufas be stored anyway? :)
I asked my mum and she said you should avoid all kind of fiambre (even chorizo is raw meat even if it has too much paprika and spices for the develop of any bacteria) and boquerones en vinagre (that's also raw!). Also, any food that is too spicy could have a risk but I guess the best thing you should do is to ask your doctor ! :D
Loretta - if you're having nausea issues, ginger has a natural anti-nausea effect. If you like ginger try including some in your meals. I really craved sushi ginger during my pregnancy - it calmed my stomach! Ginger tea has the same effect.
This is where too much information can make things tricky.
The first sign of pregnancy for me (and one I only recognised with hindsight) was a total aversion to tea and caffeinated drinks. I then found out that caffeine has adverse effects on a foetus. I had a similar experience with ginger - I absolutely can't stand the stuff now. But a doctor friend told me that one theory for the nausea/sickness is that the foetus releases an enzyme to protect itself. Ginger seems to suppress the action of this enzyme. Nausea is often seen as a good sign for the foetus' well being so I can only assume that, if it is an enzyme that's being released, it's doing some good. So the jury is out as to whether ginger is a good idea or not. Personally, and I say this because I've come to trust and respect the food aversions I now have (which are minimal) I'd rather not take it. And I've partly come to this decision because the taste of ginger has 'changed' for me, anything with ginger tastes like it has dirt/silt mixed into it. But I stress, everyone is different, so I would hate anyone to consider my comments of universal value.
But thanks for the tip! It does seem to help a lot of people.
I should have made it clearer about the 'dangerous horchata' comment.
When the chufas/tigernuts are pulled out of the ground they go through a long and rigorous process of cleaning and drying. They are dried out for at least 3 months in dark, well ventilated conditions. And shaken/turned on a daily basis throughout this time. They are checked for quality and thoroughly cleaned/disinfected. How the chufas are disinfected varies depending on the company/horchateria processing them. Some use chemicals, others go through a sort of pasteurisation process (try Helados Gori in Alicante for excellent horchata without the chemicals/bleaches - and don't offend the owner by drinking it through a straw! :D ).
When I receive a bag of chufas, I have no idea what process was applied to it other than the fact that the contents have been dried. I also don't know how long those chufas were in the bag for. Keeping them wrapped in plastic will increase the bacteria (perhaps even fungal) content. Also, I just don't have the facilities at home to keep them in a fresh, well ventilated location over long periods.
The reason this becomes an issue is that chufas aren't cooked in order to make horchata, they're used raw. So any unseen nasties will make it into the finished product. I just scrub and rinse and soak them overnight and blitz them in a liquidiser with the other ingredients before straining and drinking it.
Homemade horchata with chufas that have been kept in humid, warm conditions for long periods may be dangerous.
Horchata made from freshly purchased chufas kept in ideal conditions or bought from a reputable horchateria is not at all dangerous.
Chufas are extremely nutritious and low in cholesterol, so I assume it's the amount of sugar that gets poured into horchata that makes you consider it to be fattening. How about making your own? See how little sugar you can get away with adding to it. As long as you have a blender/liquidiser and some cloth to strain it through it's very easy to do.
oookay now I understand! thanks for the explanation :D
I've thought about making my own horchata several times but as I'm the only one drinking it (my husband hates it) i think the same as i thought when first making homemade soy milk (maki's recipe)... It'll be a damn lot of horchata/soy milk and it will spoil anyway. So... the easiest thing to do is to buy a bottle now and then.
When I lived in valencia and alicante due to my job, i had horchata with fartons. I love it... aw... >_<
Mostly off-topic, but your post is bringing back (now-)fond memories of having to race to the grocery store down the street on my bike because Mom realized she was out of ginger - it seemed some days that all she'd drink was icewater with lemon and grated ginger XD It's weird to hear that ginger might be bad now - I'm super-concious of what I eat, so I'm not looking forward to getting pregnant, I'll probably change my diet every time I read an article XD
"Stop having the boring tuna; stop having the boring life" - Vince Offer
I can't tell you how useful (and reassuring) this thread was for me on my recent trip.
Having just started to recover from excessive sickness a few days before departing for Tokyo, by the time I arrived I was ready to make ammends and eat, and eat, and eat.
Due to the circumstances of my visit I went to quite a few formal lunches and had some rather large and elaborate meals - the advice here made me much more comfortable about eating sashimi and guided me in my sushi choices. Even hoya turned up as an option in an izakaya and I had no reservation whatsover about trying it (loved it!).
The 12 days went way too quickly, but I gained just over 1.5 kilos in that time and my health improved enormously.
I don't think I'll ever forget eating chirashi sushi with family and friends pausing every now and again to catch my breath as sakura fubuki blew past.
we are thinking about having a baby so this info is great for me too! I asked my mum and she said you should avoid all kind of fiambre (even chorizo is raw meat even if it has too much paprika and spices for the develop of any bacteria) and boquerones en vinagre (that's also raw!). Also, any food that is too spicy could have a risk but I guess the best thing you should do is to ask your doctor.

Thanks Anne!
Boquerones/agritos (anchovy fillets marinated in vinegar) are the perfect example of why a Doctor in the UK wouldn't necessarily be the best person to advise me on what food I should be avoiding in Spain.
Commercially available boquerones should be absolutely fine to eat as Spanish law requires that the fillets be frozen (at -18C for 24-48 hours) at some point to ensure that they are free from parasites (Anisakiasis). So the little round tubs of boquerones available at supermarkets are safe (the law means that any fish meant to be eaten raw/vinegared is treated in the same way - fish preserved with salt is fine). However, boquerones made at home (and this could include those at some bars or restaurants) won't necessarily have been pre-frozen so that the risk of parasitic infection is eliminated. A Doctor in London couldn't possibly be expected to know this. I would think it a real shame to avoid boquerones completely because I didn't understand what the risks involved actually were.
And even for the food available in the Doctor's own country, the risks aren't always clear. In this instance I'm thinking of cheese and all the messy and conflicting advice associated with it. But at least with English and Spanish speaking countries I can inform myself and decide on the risks using my own judgement (which is why I'm happy to eat Gruyere made with unpasteurised milk but will avoid Camembert made with pasteurised milk).
Congratulations to you! Will this be your first?
My first introductions to Japanese food came during my pregnancies! Miso became my best friend, as one of my midwives recommended it for nausea/vomiting (I have hyperemesis with my pgs, so I am glad to report that this helped), and it's so much better for rehydrating than electrolyte replacement drinks. I was also advised to seek out gobo, which was excellent advice, because I always felt better after eating it. I got conflicting advice about seaweeds. Some said to eat it, because it's healthy, helps regulate bp, has plenty of minerals. Others said it could be contaminated just as some fish are contaminated with mercury. As I had a very difficult time keeping myself fed and hydrated adequately, I ended up just eating what would "work". Sea vegetables worked for me, so I kept eating them.
Eggs shouldn't be a problem as long as they are cooked throughout. In fact, one pregnancy diet recommends eating at least two eggs a day. I don't know a lot about Japanese food, but what those things (gobo, miso, seaweed) really helped me through.
Thanks c-helle,
pregnancy is over now, and although I had a short (and very welcome) period of respite from the hyperemisis which coincided with that trip to Japan, it ended coming back and getting more aggressive during the end of the pregnancy - keeping liquid down was a huge problem and I ended up on a drip :(
Thanks for the tips about gobo and miso, also my father-in-law had suggested wakame as Korean women are advised to eat plenty of this seaweed during pregnancy.
And yes, first child. I have no idea how others manage tough pregnancies with a toddler to contend with - you have my respect and my awe.
Heh. How do you like the idea of this:
A guy I work with and his wife had unexpected twins (not totally, they knew there was one on the way) when their first daughter was about 18 months. One of the twins was diagnosed with hip dysplasia so had to be in one of those plaster casts that sets them in a horse riding position. Then the eldest child was diagnosed with the same thing! So Kevin's poor wife was stuck coping with three kids under two, two of whom were in waist to ankle plaster casts for several months. That's my idea of parent hell.
My blog is Food and Shoes
Congratulations! It is so wonderful to snuggle a new baby. I hate that you ended up on a drip; I know that it is so uncomfortable (don't we have to move so much, just to make ourselves comfortable when we're pregnant?).
Honestly, my second pregnancy with toddler in tow was much easier, despite . I suppose because I knew I could "do" pregnancy and birth.
I loved wakame! I picked it up accidentally--I couldn't find the kombu--but I am now so glad I did, as my son loves it too.

LAUREL HILL � A Dec. 7 "journey to Bethlehem" won't take visitors over an arduous desert trail like the one undertaken 2,000 years ago.
LAUREL HILL � A Dec. 7 "journey to Bethlehem" won't take visitors over an arduous desert trail like the one undertaken 2,000 years ago.
But it will help attendees experience more personally the wondrous drama that unfolded before Jesus' birth, organizers of the fourth annual Laurel Hill Presbyterian Church Living Nativity said.
The Living Nativity, which starts at 6 p.m., will remain open until 8:30 p.m. to accommodate visitors who also want to attend the 5:30 p.m. Crestview Main Street Christmas parade, the Rev. Mark Broadhead said.
"Families can enjoy the fun of the Main Street parade (and) then 'follow the star' to Laurel Hill to experience the spiritual side of Christmas," Broadhead said. "We're only a 16-minute drive north of Winn-Dixie."
As guests follow a candlelit path winding around the historic 1905 Laurel Hill Presbyterian Church's yard, they will encounter actors portraying the holy family.
New to this year's nativity program are the three wise men, Broadhead said, who join Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, King Herod and an Imperial Roman census worker in sharing the Christmas story.
Fellowship and refreshments follow each visitor's journey.
As the event grows, Laurel Hill and Crestview Presbyterian church members who produce the program welcome help from other denominations' members, organizers said.
This year, students and adults from First Baptist and Magnolia Baptist Churches of Laurel Hill; and Live Oak Baptist and the First United Methodist Churches of Crestview will perform roles and help run the event.
WHAT: Laurel Hill Living Nativity with music, fellowship and refreshments
WHEN: 6-8:30 p.m. Dec. 7
WHERE: Laurel Hill Presbyterian Church, 8115 Fourth St., Laurel Hill. Parking is at the Laurel Hill School track north of the church.

Washboard Prose by Andy Scheer

This post is a reminder that simply getting a manuscript published doesn't mean a writer has "arrived" or has little more to learn. At writers conferences I admire multi-published authors who aren't too proud to sit in workshops to learn from other writers or editors.

Your experience is one I've also had. It's frustrating as a new author to read a book I know I could improve - and I'm not trying to sound arrogant. I've cringed at some books and wondered how they found their way into print. Yet they also encourage me to sharpen my own prose. I can always learn something - even if it's what *not* to do.

I am also often pulled from a story because of bad writing. But what I find interesting is that if I like a story, I am blind to the technical blunders. I have a friend who is an editor and she's stuff I don't see at all.
She told me once that Harry Potter is full of "He remonstrated" and other ridiculous dialogue tags. I didn't believe. I pulled down one of the books and opened a page at random and I counted something like 23 bad dialogue tags. And I had not noticed a single one when I read the books.

I had the exact same experience after editing my manuscript. I've stopped reading several times to say to my wife, "look at this, I just took this out of my story!" I just assumed that when you are a successful writer, editors are less likely to critique your work.

If I have to read about one more man who barks and snarls and growls, I'm going to stop buying romance. I do understand your frustration. And then again, an author I've never heard about before might have me pulled right in with the stellar writing.

Emmanuel College's Commencement Ceremony is Saturday, May 10, at 10:30 a.m. in the John W. Swails Center Auditorium as approximately 150 graduates transition from college classes to career choices.
Delivering this year's commencement address is Dr. Culbreth Young Melton, who served as the sixth president of the College from 1970 to 1983. He is a 1947 graduate of Emmanuel and joined the faculty full time in the 1960s.
"Dr. C.Y. Melton has distinguished himself as a scholar, administrator and teacher," says EC President Michael Stewart. "His love for Christ is profoundly evident, and his love for Emmanuel College is contagious. He has left a mark on the College that will be remembered forever. Celebrating our 95 years as an institution would not be complete without him."
Under Dr. Melton's administration, a four-year School of Christian Ministries was inaugurated and accredited by the American Association of Bible Colleges. The Shaw-Leslie Library was constructed, and the overall quality of the institution improved.
Encourage the students in your life to attend Emmanuel College through a Referral Scholarship! Click here for details about requesting your referral cards.
Founded in 1919, Emmanuel College is a Christ-centered liberal arts institution that strives to prepare students to become Christlike disciples who integrate faith, learning and living for effective careers, scholarship and service. It is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award associate and baccalaureate degrees.

From organized volunteer programs to model airplanes to AOPA's AV8RS, teachers have a variety of resources to help them integrate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) into their curriculum.
Educators who attended Teachers' Day at EAA AirVenture on July 30 learned that STEM components can be as elaborate as bringing an airplane into a school to provide hands-on training in a shop class context, or as basic as having students watch an aviation film. The free half-day workshop was sponsored by Build a Plane, a nonprofit group that promotes aviation and aerospace education. Build a Plane solicits aircraft donations and places the airplanes free of charge so that students can repair or rebuild them. To date, 250 projects have been placed in schools around the nation. An Aeronca project is parked in front of the Build a Plane tent at AirVenture, Executive Director Katrina Bradshaw told the group. "If anyone is interested, it is looking for a home," she said.
As the General Aviation Manufacturers Association searches for ways to help teachers facilitate the STEM education of the nation's young people, "what we found is that as manufacturers we weren't tapping into the whole spectrum of what we need to keep this industry going forward," said GAMA President Pete Bunce. "That's people to design, build, and maintain [aircraft]." It's one of the reasons GAMA and Build a Plane teamed up to sponsor a nationwide competition in which teams of students used software to design an airplane. Two teams of students from high schools in Michigan and Minnesota won the grand prize, and were sent to the Glasair Aviation facility in Arlington, Wash., to build two airplanes via Glasair's Two Weeks to Taxi program. The airplanes were completed and flown to AirVenture. A feature article on the contest is slated to run in the October 2013 AOPA Pilot.
The GAMA/Build a Plane project was "an incredible experience," said Jeppesen CEO Mark Van Tine, who worked alongside the teenagers on one of the airplanes. "How do we make STEM real? How do we make it tangible for people? Building components for an airplane takes real precision, takes a lot of science and engineering and chemistry. This program was a chance to do that." It was an experiment, he said, and added, "As we went through this process, on the second day we realized we had something really special."
Youth Aviation Adventure "gets kids jazzed about aviation" through half-day programs typically run on Saturdays at airports, said Dan Kiser, who founded Youth Aviation Adventure in 1997 along with Steve Wathen. Aimed at children ages 12 to 18, YAA includes 10 learning modules on all facets of aviation using a curriculum designed with the assistance of The Ohio State University. More than 11,000 people have attended a Youth Aviation Adventure program, including children and adults, he said. "I think we do some good in that area in lighting some interest in some of the adults who go through the program," he said. YAA has 26 partner programs in 13 states, with a goal to reach 50 states and 25,000 youths per year by 2017, he said.
Airplane models are a perfect means to engage young children in aviation and keep them interested until they're old enough to begin formal flight training, said Bill Pritchett, education director with the Academy of Model Aeronautics. AMA offers free membership to people age 19 or younger, and an online activity center called AMA Flight School answers questions about how to build and learn to fly a model airplane, and also has information for teachers.
"You can help kids become pilots now," AMA's Gordon Schimmel said. "We don't have to wait or defer gratification until they're old enough to solo." There are more than 2,400 model airplane clubs that can provide many activities for children as they wait for Young Eagles rides, for example. "Aviators can get a feel for flight control before they take to the skies," he said.
AOPA offers a wide selection of tools for teachers in its PATH (Pilots And Teachers Handbook) materials, said Katie Pribyl, vice president of communications. The free PATH Handbook includes 11 modules for middle-school-aged students, along with worksheets, exercises, quizzes, and learning objectives on topics such as weight and balance, flight controls, weather, and aviation history. It can be ordered from AOPA or downloaded free of charge. Pribyl said. Supplemental materials are available for other age groups, including connect-the-dots puzzles for kindergarten through third grade and an aviation career guide for those in grades 9 through 12.
AOPA's youth membership program known as AV8RS launched one year ago and now has 4,500 participants, Pribyl said. Geared to ages 13 through 18, AV8RS is meant to be complementary to other programs, she said. The program includes a digital subscription to Flight Training magazine, a dedicated bimonthly newsletter, opportunities to win scholarships, and free access to AOPA's toll-free Pilot Information Center help line. A social media component on Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, and a blog "really gets these kids into a community of like-minded kids who are going in the same direction," Pribyl said.

I watched Marisa's tutorial on how to use the templates and saw that she had her colors and fonts planned out ahead of time before actually assembling the page. I don't know if she did it because she knew she was going to be recording it or if that's how she does it all the time, but I had never thought of that before. I, most of the time, just find a picture or two I want to use and figure out what kind of "theme". Then open anything and everything I might want to use on the layout in photoshop, move all the elements to the background paper, and then sort through them to see what fits with what my image is and delete anything that doesn't. Then spend forever looking at all my fonts figuring out which one I want to use. I'm VERY disorganized in my process, so I'm just curious what everyone else does to prepare for a layout and how I can improve my preparation.
What is your process when making a page?
When I'm working on a kit, I will often select the fonts ahead of time along with the color palette so I don't have to think about it later on.
My process is more similar to yours. I start with the photos, which usually drives theme selection. Then I look through my elements to see what I have available supporting the theme. If I like the colors of those, then I'll look for papers and other elements to complement. I sometimes recolor papers and elements but more often I find what I need in my stash. I've been collecting for a while now so have a lot to choose from.
Interesting question... I've never really given it much thought. For me my process starts with photos then I look for a template/sketch, kit and extras that will work for what I have in mind. I too tend to open up all files in my program and just start placing them in my layout. As for fonts, I tend to use the same ones. As for colors that will depend on my kit choice - I do like to match my font color to the layout colors.
Marisa: That is a good idea! I get frustrated when I'm working on a page and can't find the font that matches what I want, and I have SO MANY of them that it can take me longer to find a font than it took me to make the page. lol.
Shannon and Tasha: Good to know I'm not the only one!
When I actually do get around to putting a page together rather than just collecting everything I usually start with a kit. If I find I need something extra, then I'll go hunting through my stash to see what I have that will work. A lot of times, if I don't have an element that I want to add but don't have it in my stash, then I'm off on another tangent trying to make it myself. So, I'm a bit scattered with my process and it could take me days to finish up a layout. That's probably why I don't do too many of them. Plus the fact that I don't have that many pictures I can scrap - except for my cats and dog and husband sleeping on the couch...
@Brittany: My process is very close to yours, Shannon's and Tasha's. Ironically, I guess that's because that's what I've always done paper scrapping... so it just carried over to digi-scrapping naturally. right or wrong. The only exception is when whatever I'm scrapping is very themed (Ie: Love/Valentine's Album or Christmas) or a specific home decor project that would definitely before more color related, so of course I would have those pre-meditated to match my room colors.

Angelina Jolie is Brad Pitt's 'Maleficent' at Hollywood Premiere!
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt hold hands while arriving at premiere of her new flick Maleficent held at the El Capitan Theatre on Wednesday (May 28) in Hollywood.
A few weeks ago, the 38-year-old actress sported a black dress while supporting the 50-year-old actor at his 2014 Make It Right Foundation Gala in New Orleans, La.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Angelina Jolie
"I want them to do it for fun only, and when they get older, if they decide to be actors, I would just ask that that's not the center of their lives," Angie recently shared to ABC about her kids going into acting. "That's an aspect but they are involved in many other things, because I don't think it's a healthy focus as the center of your life."
FYI: Angelina is wearing Atelier Versace and Brad is wearing Gucci.

I really want to save the tribute video to Mario that was played after he retired. It's on the official site and I've tried to save it, but it won't save. I've also played it and tried to record it with a screen recorder but it always plays back as a black screen after.
Anyone know of any way that i can do this? I really want to add it to my collection.
Thanks for your help.

USC finally does something right. Like them to win by about 14-17
Usc - 38 Georgia Tech - 14
Trojans -10 under 64
Love watching the Sun Bowl at the local American Legion Post. It sort of gets the New Years Eve party started early. After a 2 year hiatus, the Trojans re-appear on the Bowl scene and they do it gangnam style. Tech just doesn't match-up against this Trojan squad.
USC - Under
lots of nfl talent with injury problems for usc. i got on them early before barkley out and lee and mcneal questionable. 3000+ yd QB, 1600+ yd receiver and 800+ yd RB...lots of offense with issues.
prima facie, USC looks disinterested...I think its a gangsta mirage...
its Monte Kiffen's last game as a coach...the man has had an outstanding career of innovation on the D side of the ball...
sure Lane is a spoiled marginal coach, but if he can stay out of trouble (which is a big if), he is building something there at SC.
i think, with over a month to prepare for that Ga Tech D, even with the loss of Barkley and possibly Lee, USC's talent a depth will manhandle an otherwise bad one dimensional Ga Tech team.
if nothing else, those USC players will want to send Monte out on top with a resounding victory.
I'll take the Men of Troy -7.5 to cover...
Ga Tech 17

Sharp / Square ML predictor is now calling for a bet on GT. This indicator is 7-1 this bowl season and but I am now becoming leery of a reversal to the mean for this indicator.. Still, I will keep on playing it until it shows signs of regression. Play GT3. CE Diff likes GT by 12% margin. The good handicappers that I watch are trending toward GT. Ideally, I like a 15% margin and this indicator is only hitting 50% for bowl season as the bookies are hammering the good handicappers thus far. Play GT4. USC numbers were built primarily with Barkley at QB most of season. I am concerned that the new QB may spark USC to a big win which is why I am keeping the bet at 1 unit. Any sign of late steam on GT will increase GT to a 2 unit play. This would mean that smart money is discounting Wittek, the new USC QB.
These reasons are SOLID. I love the "reversion to the mean" trend, its a statistic fact, absent of emotion. You can also apply that to the NFL over/ unders as the entire year unfolds.
you GT backers and your stat, motivation standard deviation dorks must have missed G Tech's 21 point loss to Middle Tenn as a 28 point favorite...I bet USC has watched that game and know exactly what they need to do...USC went score for score with teh best Offense in the nation in Oregon...and M Kiffen has shut down running option teams back in the day...you keep looking at your charts while the rest of us count how many TD's USC racks up...
