text: SAMI (Sydney university AAO MOS IFS) is a new multi-object IFU for the Anglo-Australian Telescope. It is the first on-sky application of innovative photonic imaging bundles called hexabundles, which will remove the aperture effects that have biased previous single-fibre multi-object astronomical surveys. A major galaxy survey using SAMI is now underway (http://sami-survey.org/) and has the potential to revolutionise our understanding of galaxies, with spatially-resolved spectroscopy of 3400 targets planned over the next 3 years. Scientific objectives of the SAMI galaxy survey will be outlined and I will present some early science results showing the effectiveness of hexabundles on sky and the potential of the survey.

Back in 2001, I posted an amateurish essay onmicropayments, written from my perspective as a willing-to-payconsumer that hoped to continue to enjoy quality content while theonline advertising market collapsed.
Embarrassingly it got picked up by Slashdot and was put up as the awkwardcounterpoint to anearlier article by Clay Shirkey, in which the authorcompetently, with research and everything, argued against theconcept.
Arguments were had and forgotten, and we all moved on. Lots ofgreatcontent disappeared from the web, advertisers got more and moredesperate, often malicious, and a long and horrible content droughtensued.
Eventually Google came onto the scene, bringing advertising tothe little guy, and the content market was reborn on the back ofAdsense.
Clay was held up as the victor, or more correctly was consideredthe only contender, and has been used for citations countless timessince, unquestionably proving the non-viability of anysmall-transaction system. I came across just such an article moments ago, as I do several times amonth.
Was Clay right Are people really psychologically unable tohandle small payments Is the idea of small-cost subscriptionpackages for websites an unworkable model, or do people just saythat because they like imagining that they're having a freelunch?
Lots of people seem to think so.
Then again, lots of people thought the Earth was flat, terriblethings would happen when we passed the speed of sound, it would beimpossible to full-text index the internet or to search iteconomically, and so on.
Take a moment to consider that there have been 2 billioniPhone apps sold, with a current average price hovering arounda dollar. There are predictions that the average price will rise inthe coming years, to a magnificent $2.37 by 2013.
This is for generally small, disposable apps that often dolittle, but because the cost is small and the transactionsurprisingly well lubricated by the iTunes process, a lot of peoplejust click "buy" and enjoy the experience. Look at Atwood himself —using him as an example given that he comes into play in thearticle I referenced earlier — who said:
My total bill for 3 screens worth of great iPhonesoftware applications About fifty bucks. I've paid morethan that for Xbox 360 games I ended up playing for a total ofmaybe three hours! About half of the apps were free, and the restwere a few bucks. I think the most I paid was $9.99, and that wasfor an entire library. What's revolutionary here isn't just thedevelopment ecosystem, but the economics that support it, too.At these crazy low prices, why not fill your phone withcool and useful apps? You might wonder if developers can reallymake a living selling apps that only cost 99 cents. Sure you can,if you sell hundreds of thousands of copies:
That's impossible! Clay Shirkey says so! Or at least that's whatpeople often interpret him as saying.
iTunes doesn't just service the iPhone app market. Aside fromits start selling music (usually sold by the track), countlesspeople are avoiding advertisers and buying network televisioncontent via the services. Marginally small amounts, but lowtransaction costs, technology, and the ease of purchase makes it aviable market.
iTunes doesn't own this nickle-and-dime market, though.
I enjoy the occasional bout of gaming on the xbox 360, and ittakes every opportunity it can to try to get me to partake of tinylittle purchases, some as low as $0.40. Want a game-specific theme?Want some bling for your avatar Want that car before you've"earned" it Want this amateur community game Come on, it's just acouple of points from some nebulous points pool that you can spendsimply by pressing A a couple of times, and when it empties youjust add a bunch more.
Of course, all of this naturally leads to the semantics of whata "micropayment" is, and inevitably people will argue that amicropayment must be paying sub-pennies by the page, or the KB, orthe image, or whatever. That isn't the spirit of it at all,however, and instead the origins of micropayments were easy toaccommodate payments of amounts that were traditionallyuneconomical to gather. In my mind iTunes absolutely supportsmicropayments the theory, because prior to that service it simplywasn't possible to sell applications for $1 or less. There was afairly lofty minimum threshold below which it wasn't worth yourtime.
That is no longer the case within certain spaces.
Which again brings us to the possibility of micropayments forwebsites that hold actual value: People need to quit pretendingthat micropayments are some disproven, unworkable theory. There area lot of us who simply abhor advertisement or economic coersion inall its forms (as you saw in the prior entry, the moment someoneadds commission links to what is purportedly a subjective review,my opinion of their credibility drops precipitously, and I'msuddenly wondering if they actually liked the product, or if theyjust fumbled around for something and pushed the first thing theyfound, using it to effectively tax the readership indirectly andterribly inefficiently), and who aren't cheap bastards. If you havea site of value, and if there were a trustworthy, credible andlubricated system like iTunes for Websites, the idea could havelegs.

Slovenia to Replace Port Chief in Corporate-Governance Fight
(Bloomberg) -- Slovenia is taking steps to replace the executives of Luka Koper d.d., a profitable port operator whose shares are outperforming the benchmark, deepening the controversy over the government's handling of state-owned businesses.
Shareholders led by the government on Thursday backed a no-confidence motion against Dragomir Matic, the president of the management board, as the state asset manager has alleged irregularities under his leadership. Matic rejects these claims. If rubber stamped by a supervisory board on Friday, Matic will lose his job despite a sharp increase in earnings since the 2014 start of his tenure.
Slovenia has had a fraught relationship with state companies, including lengthy delays on a pledge to the European Commission to sell Nova Ljubljanska Banka d.d. after a bailout. With general elections just months away, the government has been accused of inconsistency in its approach to corporate governance.
"The logical question arises why this scrutiny is against Luka Koper management and not against some other companies, also partially state owned, where results are clearly lagging," Saso Stanovnik, an economist at Alta Invest in Ljubljana said by email. "Profitability is clearly not the criteria."
Controlling Risks
The port operator's shares have risen 20 percent this year compared with the 11 percent rise of the Slovenian benchmark index of 11 most traded stocks. Luka Koper shares fell 0.3 percent to 29.70 euros as of 1:05 p.m. in Ljubljana.
Even though the company is performing quite well, the management hasn't been able to remove irregularities and hasn't controlled risks indicated in a PricewaterhouseCoopers report, the Slovenian Sovereign Holding said in response to emailed questions. The management no longer enjoys its trust, the agency said.
Business partners are finding it "hard to comprehend all these back-door dealings and political games," Matic said last week in an interview at the company's headquarters.
Still, Radivoj Pregelj, a portfolio manager at Zavarovalnica Triglav's asset management arm which holds Luka Koper stock, said high economic growth in the countries that receive the cargo leaving the port would support the company's performance even after a change in management. Dredging carried out in 2014 that enabled bigger ships to enter was also helping, he said.

We know that knowledge puffs up and that love builds up (1 Corinthians 8).
Still, what we prefer to offer to unbelievers and new believers is information instead of the costly commodity called agape. What makes new believers into disciples is fitting into a family through real relationships. They need accountability through relationships. They need to find opportunities to serve through relationships.
What best draws unbelievers to believe is a relationship with a believer through which they can discover the presence and person of Jesus, raised from the dead and enthroned on a human heart.

text: English gold rings engraved with images and inscriptions were highly desired in the 15th century. Iconographic rings were made almost exclusively in England, some with images of three or more saints. This iconographic ring is finely engraved with an image of the Trinity and decorated around a twisting band with flowers. The Trinity (or also Throne of Mercy) is found painted in 15th-century Books of Hours with prayers that urged the reader to picture themselves in the presence of the three-fold God. On rings, the image was thought to protect the wearer against evils and dangers. Here the goldsmith skillfully rendered the Trinity in a thumbnail-sized image, even showing Christ's wound with a single tap of the tool. Rings with twisted bands were also popular in 15th-century England, like the ring engraved "en bon an" in Gothic black letter script. Both French and English were spoken and written in court throughout 15th-century England, with "bon an" and other well-wishes inscribed in rings that were given as gifts for the New Year.

And not just for special occasions but to show appreciation, thoughtfulness or to bolster spirits during a rough patch.
It is during a person's life that flowers are most appreciated and have true meaning.
Sending flowers "after the fact" just seems more to assuage the sender's conscience or image.
To follow that sentiment, I am sending "flowers," while I can, to the Houma Outpatient Clinic in Southeast Louisiana Veteran's Health Care System. These flowers are not sent lightly. In fact, they are 40 years in delivery.
Forty years ago, when I left Vietnam and was "paroled" from the Army, I wanted nothing to do with anything military.
No association.
I call it "paroled" because when a draftee completed his two years of active duty, he was "paroled" to four years of inactive reserve duty.
He could be reactivated at any time.
Fortunately President Nixon — in addition to all his faults — was smarter than his recent successors and prosecuted only one war at a time, so the risk was small.
But just to be on the safe side, I hurried up and won a city council seat so that I would be considered "indispensable to the public good."
Regrettably, I didn't maintain contact with my Army buddies and even refused to use the free health care that is offered to veterans with service-connected injuries.
Ahh, the joys ignorant arrogance of self-determination brings.
Fast-forward 35 years.
My service-connected injuries were beginning to take their toll.
My close friends kept badgering me to seek Veterans Administration help.
I was still wallowing in ignorant arrogance and had heard horror stories about VA health care, so I was in no rush.
When the friend who was on my case most about getting help died, as a tribute to her caring and concern, I enrolled in the Veteran's Administration.
Now the flowers.
The Houma Outpatient Clinic in the Veterans Administration's Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System provides the best medical experience anyone could wish for, public or private.
The Houma Outpatient Clinic provides primary care for veterans in the bayou parishes.
When you walk into the Houma clinic, you get an immediate sense that veterans have confidence in the full range of medical treatment and counseling services they are receiving and a sense of genuine caring from the staff providing them.
Everyone is upbeat and positive, and appointments are on time.
I don't know if the staff members are overwhelmed. My guess is that they are since they are serving veterans from World War II through the present conflicts.
If so, that is never conveyed to veterans, and the staff always has the time to follow up with gentle but pointed prodding if veterans don't follow health initiatives. Even though appointments are required and preferred, they will work in veterans who need immediate, non-emergency care. If veterans require specialists, they are referred to the New Orleans clinic. Transportation is available from the Houma clinic to New Orleans.
So these flowers are sent on behalf of all veterans who appreciate the care received from the staff at the Houma Outpatient Clinic.
You are an asset and contribute a large part, though maybe unseen, to the good quality of life in the bayou region and that of thousands of resident veterans.

text: Headlines David Dahl remains cornerstone of Rockies' plan despite down year By Jake Shapiro Posted on December 21, 2017 [get_snippet] [theme-my-login show_title=0] Share Tweet Email Print Last week at the annual Winter Meetings, Colorado Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich gave away one of the essential parts to his plan. That plan's destination is the World Series but the plan itself has a player who didn't play a single game in the bigs as a cornerstone of it. Enter left fielder David Dahl. Dahl had a breakout rookie season in 2016, slashing .315/.359/.480 with seven homers, 24 RBI in just 63 games. He provided a spark in the form of consistency through his bat, speed and deft glove. The issue is that Dahl has not swung a bat since July 31 or played in a Rockies uniform since Spring Training. Sidelined in the spring with what was initially thought to be slight back pain, his injury problems morphed into stress reactions in Dahl's ribcage and his 2017 season disappeared. Dahl's injury may have haunted Colorado's sweet 2017 in some ways but if he can reemerge in 2018 the Rockies are in business.

Resource One Credit Union employees take the Introduction to Leadership course preparing them to learn the differences in managing and leading.
Resource One Credit Union annually provides a three-month training class to teach employees the difference between managing and leading. The course, Introduction to Leadership, teaches employees how to communicate effectively with their teams as leaders, not just managers. This class has been provided to educate employees on how to efficiently and positively lead their teams to success.
Introduction to Leadership uses assignments and experiences to instill proper leadership techniques. The coursework requires employees to take tests and written assignments containing well-considered responses and a high level of professionalism. Introduction to Leadership participants completed the program by assembling sack lunches to distribute to the homeless.
Program mentors were participants from the R1 Credit Union Leadership Team: Michael Moore, call center manager; Gina Yetman, underwriter; Jorge Colunga, branch manager; Jason Ruiz, branch manager; and Erika Reyes, branch manager.

CAES Substantive Principal Prof. Bernard Bashaasha Takes Over Office
- Thanks former leadership for steering the college system
- Reiterates his campaign promises of transparency and humility
- Calls for unity to address CAES Challenges
The former Ag. Principal CAES Prof. Samuel Kyamanywa handed over office to the Substantive Principal Prof. Bernard Bashaasha on August 1, 2013. The handover ceremony was moderated by the Deputy Principal Dr. Gorettie Nabanoga at the conference hall, School of Agricultural Sciences. It was attended by the college and university staff including representatives from the Directorate for Internal Audit and that of the Human Resources.
Outgoing Ag. Principal Prof. Samuel Kyamanywa presented a 27 paged handover report with 15 Appendices. Both the Outgoing and Incoming Professors stood up and exchanged instruments of power including eight documents namely; the document from the Esella retreat (31st May-2nd June, 2011), document for the proposed relocation of the college to Kabanyolo (dated Feb 2012), a report on CAES Major Achievements (2005-2011) and a copy of the Makerere University budget 2013/1014.
Other documents were the CAES Technologies and Innovations catalogue 2013, a copy of the College Statute of 9th March 2013, the Makerere University Organizational Manual and a copy of Makerere University Research Manual. There was also an exchange of office keys, two electronic gadgets, a file with two TOTAL fuel cards, hugging and switching seats.
In his remarks, the incoming Principal Prof. Bernard Bashaasha described the moment as an important milestone in the history of CAES. He thanked the outgoing Principal for steering the college at the time of the university transition from the faculty system into collegiate.
"I thank the outgoing Ag. Principal for his leadership and for laying the foundation of the college on which I promise to continue to build. I also thank the previous leaders for their contributions." Prof. Bashaasha said.
Prof. Bashaasha thanked God for the opportunity to serve and reminded those present that all leadership comes from God. He pledged to serve and work together with everybody to address CAES challenges.
"I realize the gravity of the challenges ahead of us and I consider serving as your Principal as servant ship that I accept with humility. I thank you for turning up in big numbers. I had not seen such large numbers at previous handover ceremonies. I am greatly humbled by your presence and your interest in the affairs of their college".
Prof. Bashaasha reiterated CAES potential in terms of immense and talented human resources, physical resources and infrastructure, current national development needs and the strategic position of agriculture, forestry, the environment and food in the African and the global economy.
He pledged to be a Principal for all and implored all staff to join hands to build a better CAES saying, the door to the Principal's office is wide open for business or a chat.
"I extend an open hand to all-those present and those absent. I ask that we should all focus on the future of the college with optimism. The college has a number of challenges that can only be successfully addressed by us working together. We need each other now than ever before." The professor appealed.
Prof. Bashaasha reiterated his campaign promises of transparency and humility and promised to be guided by them to move forward. He reminded members that he does not know how to pretend and requested all to revisit his manifesto-drawing attention to the abridged version.
He noted that his starting point will be the improvement of academic standards, consolidation of research achievements, improvement of staff welfare and implementation of a decentralized college management system.
Prof. Bashaasha also said that a team from the Principal's office would be drawing up a plan to visit all departments of the college, followed by visits to schools culminating in a college level meeting. These initial meetings would be intended as opportunities for familiarization, permit exchange of ideas and opinions on the way forward.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Steve Blake scored 13 of his 19 points in the third quarter, Pau Gasol and Nick Young each had 16, and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Utah Jazz 111-106 Friday night in the preseason finale for both teams. Gordon Hayward led Utah with 18 points and seven rebounds, and Alec Burks had 18 off the bench. Rudy Gobert got 12 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter to help the Jazz keep it close. A moment of silence was observed at Honda Center for Hall of Famer Bill Sharman, who coached the Lakers to their first NBA championship in Los Angeles in 1971-72 -- when they won a franchise-record 69 games and a league-record 33 in a row. Sharman died Friday at age 87 after suffering a stroke last Saturday. He had been a special consultant with the organization for the previous 23 seasons. Trailing by 15 points after three, the Jazz got as close as 100-96 on Lester Hudsons 3-pointer with 5:41 remaining. Hayward led Utah to a 53-51 halftime lead with 16 points, eight of them at the end of a 19-2 run that turned an 11-point deficit into a 48-42 advantage with 2:27 left in the second quarter. But the Lakers opened the third with a 20-6 run that put them ahead 71-59, and they increased the margin to 88-73 on Blakes 3-pointer with 8.4 seconds left in the quarter. The Lakers finished the preseason 4-4. It was their first training camp under coach Mike DAntoni, who was hired five games into last season after the team started out 1-4 under Mike Brown. The Lakers open the regular season Tuesday night against the Clippers, who won all four meetings last season. Utah will host Oklahoma City in its opener on Wednesday night after finishing its exhibition schedule a league-worst 1-7. "Im looking forward to it," coach Tyrone Corbin said. "Weve made some great strides in the exhibition season. Were starting over in some ways, so performance and consistency is going to be a key for us, along with how were going to perform in certain situations. "Its going to be different and theres going to be a lot of adjustments, so we have to make sure we stay on top of it and keep ourselves growing as much as we can." Clippers Jersey . Louis Blues just continue to roll -- especially against the Nashville Predators. Jamal Crawford Clippers Jersey . Simon (10-3) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks in 6 1-3 innings to break a tie with the Dodgers Zack Greinke and Cardinals Adam Wainwright for the NL lead in victories. Simon went to spring training as a relief pitcher and moved into the starting rotation when Mat Latos was recovering from elbow and knee surgeries. http://www.jerseyclippersshopofficial.c … ll-jersey/ .S. routed Sweden 7-0 Sunday to win its fourth straight title and seventh overall under-18 world championship. Olson earned his third shutout of the tournament and the Americans allowed only four goals in six games to set an International Ice Hockey Federation under-18 record. JJ Redick Jersey . Having won the first leg 1-0 in Barcelona, Madrid entered the match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium already in control and quickly sealed its place in the semifinals when Jese Rodriguez scored in the seventh minute. Paul Pierce Jersey . -- Max Domi scored twice and set up two more as the London Knights toppled the visiting Kingston Frontenacs 6-4 on Sunday in Ontario Hockey League action.CLEVELAND -- His arms folded across his chest, New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson watched helplessly as three Cleveland players streaked past him on the way to an uncontested layup. Woodson couldnt stop the Cavaliers. Right now, he cant do much about his sinking Knicks either. Kyrie Irving had 37 points and 11 assists and Jarrett Jack added 17 points, leading the Cavs to a 109-94 victory over the hard-to-figure Knicks on Tuesday night. Fresh off an embarrassing 41-point loss at home to Boston on Sunday, New York dropped to 5-15 and made Woodsons future even more uncertain. The Knicks have lost 11 of 13. "I dont have the answer to what we have to do," Carmelo Anthony said. "You cant coach or you cant teach energy. The losing is becoming unacceptable. Hopefully, everybody feels like that. I cant be the only one who is feeling like that." Irving scored 12 points in the third quarter, when the Cavs outscored the defenceless Knicks 33-20 and pulled away. Tristan Thompson added 12 points -- two on a ferocious put-back dunk -- and had nine rebounds as Cleveland won its fourth straight at home. Anthony scored 29 points and Amare Stoudemire had 15 for the Knicks, who erased an early 18-point deficit, gave it all back, fell behind by 19 and werent aggressive. New York attempted just five three throws. "This is all new to me," Stoudemire said. "Ive never been 5-15 before in my career. The only thing we can do is stay positive." Anthony said there are bigger things to worry about than any looming changes. "If we start thinking about that, were going to be 5-25," he said. "It will all go downhill." After being outscored 22-4 during one stretch of the second quarter, the Knicks got it together -- briefly. New York only trailed by three at halftime and the Knicks were showing some signs of life, one game after enduring the most lopsided loss in the NBA this season. Anthonys 3-pointer pulled New York within 53-52, but Thompson scored on a sensational, one-handed dunk, triggering an 8-0 run that made it 61-52. "I did take it out on the rim," said Thompson, who was frustrated by early foul trouble. "Sorry, rim." Irving hit a 3-pointer, and moments later, Clevelands Alonzo Gee tipped the ball away from New York guard Pablo Prigioni near midcourt. Gee picked up the loose ball and led a three-on-none Cavs break past Woodson, who stood on the sideline unable to prevent Cleeveland from scoring another easy basket.dddddddddddd The Cavs pushed their lead to 88-69 in the fourth quarter before the Knicks made one last run, getting within 90-77 on a jumper by Andrea Bargnani. But Jack hit a 3-pointer, Irving made one from long range and Cleveland finished off its largest win this season. With four wins in five games, the Cavs are beginning to shake out of their early season funk under coach Mike Brown. "We knew it was going to take some time," said Brown, in his second stint with Cleveland. "We knew we were going to take our lumps." Looking for a spark and some inside muscle at both ends to offset the loss of Tyson Chandler and Kenyon Martin, Woodson started Metta World Peace, who came off the bench in New Yorks first 19 games. "Metta has earned the right to be out there," Woodson said. "Hes patiently waited for his opportunity." Woodsons opportunity, on the other hand, could be ending. On Monday, New Yorks third-year coach said hes "up to the task" of fixing the Knicks. He may not have much more time to get them repaired. After the game, Woodson said he hopes to still be around when Chandler and Martin return. "Hopefully, Ill get a full deck and see where we are," he said. When the final horn sounded, Knicks assistant coach Herb Williams helped Woodson get out of his courtside chair by pushing him from behind. He may soon be pushed aside, but Anthony feels Woodson can still fix the Knicks. "Weve got to help him figure it out," Anthony said. "Hes not going to do it by himself. Weve got to help each other figure this out." NOTES: Chandler, out since Nov. 5 with a broken right leg, began practicing earlier this week and is encouraged by his progress. Chandler doesnt know exactly when hell be back in the lineup. "Im close. Im not that close," he said. "I know Im not game ready. I want to be able to get back on the court and give my team something as well as protect myself. When youre coming back from an injury, you just cant jump out there and not be afraid." ... Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon sat courtside and received a loud ovation when shown on the giant scoreboard during a timeout. ... New York hosts Chicago on Wednesday. ... Knicks G Raymond Felton aggravated a hamstring injury and played only 4 minutes after halftime. ... Longtime NBA referee Dick Bavetta celebrated his 74th birthday. Wholesale NFL Jerseys ' ' '

I've learned the secret to making soft cookies. Yes, I have to write a post on this because I am now obsessed with making and eating chocolate chip cookies.
I mentioned in Grace's birthday party post that I made her a big chocolate chip cookie cake instead of a normal cake. I did it for several reason, the main one being that she LOVES cookies, but also because I've been craving chocolate chip cookies lately. I have more cravings when I'm nursing than I do when I'm pregnant.
So over New Years weekend when my family was in town, I made a cookie cake to see how it would turn out. I'm glad I did, because this is what happened:
Do you notice all of the cookie parts all over the bottom of the oven? Yeah, they smelled awful. The cookie still tasted amazing though. I baked it on a Pampered Chef Baking Stone and I stuck to the Tollhouse recipe, there's no need to change a tried and true classic in my opinion. I can't make cookies without remembering the episode of Friends where Monica is trying to figure out Phoebe's grandmother's cookie recipe and it finally ends up being the Nestle Tollhouse recipe. I miss that show!
Anyway, I love cookies, but I don't like crunchy cookies. I love it when they're soft right out of the oven. A friend of mine from my cake class mentioned that if you take a flat spatula and press the cookies down flat as soon as they come out of the oven, they will stay moist for days. I figured it was worth a try and it worked! It took about 3 days for all of this cookie to get eaten and it was just as soft on the last day as it was on the first.
I learned my lesson with Grace's cookie cake and left more space along the edges of the stone for it to spread. A little still spilled over, but it was much better. Again, I flattened it with a spatula and it was moist and delicious for her party the next day. I think the guests agreed because it was gone within an hour!
Now I want cookies. I might have to send Mike to the store to get some butter!

Great idea! I have worked really hard to make the perfect chocolate chip cookie (my husbands favorite), and I believe I have perfected it. I wrote a blog post about it, with my secrets. Enjoy! http://daxandrebeccarushton.blogspot.com/2011/02/my-chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe.htmlReplyDelete

You're nailing your meal plan. You're training hard but appropriately for your goals. You're doing everything right. (But just a little bit of tough love– most people aren't 100% on point with those things, it might be worth double checking to make sure you're actually doing what you think you are.) So why isn't your body changing?
I don't know you. But I know people who are probably a lot like you. I suspect that you're probably at least a little bit stressed out. Or maybe you're just sort of crazy train all the time. Wherever you are, realize that stress is not doing your waistline any favors. I should make a series on stress, because it's a big, complicated problem. Until I can do that, understand that your tendency to carry a "spare tire" around your middle is likely directly related to stress, via the hormone cortisol. Hormones (and you have lots of them, not just the ones you learned about in Sex Ed) are chemical messengers that control so many things in your body, including whether you're full and satisfied or hungry and angry (hangry!). Cortisol is part of your body's fight or flight response. Its job is to get you ramped up, so you can deal with whatever emergency is headed your way. Your body is supposed to calm you back down once the crisis is over, but that's not really how we live our lives these days. We're in permanent freak out mode, and the body can't keep up. Our bodies and our brains are exhausted, whether we realize it or not. Because your body is so ramped up, you're likely not sleeping as well as you should, which means your body isn't getting the rest it needs to fix itself. Because your body is in a state of crisis, it also wants "survival" food, which in modern terms usually means sugary, fatty crapfood. It doesn't matter how awesome you are. Nobody craves broccoli and brussels sprouts when they are stressed. But here's the real kick in the (now larger, thanks a lot, cortisol) pants: high cortisol causes an increase in Belly Fat, which is not only enough to make even the most saintly want to cuss, it's also dangerous. Most belly fat is something called visceral fat– which is the kind that wraps around your organs. On the upside, if you're in the south, you can affectionately refer to this condition as "Dunlop Syndrome". As in "My Belly Dun Lopped Over My Belt". Ok, that's not much help.
I still don't have the body of my dreams, and this is a large part of the reason why. My trainer keeps telling me that I won't get to my goals until I learn to manage my stress, and so far, he is irritatingly right. However, it's not been in my best interest to point out that being nagged at to reduce my stress isn't so much helpful.
So that being said, here's my best list of things that help. I'm just still a work in progress on this one!
- Do more of what makes you happy and makes you feel like you. Do less of what you only do because people expect you to.
- Be willing to say no sometimes. The world functioned before you were here, and it will (hopefully) continue once you are gone.
- Practice noticing beauty. Maybe it's the way a child's face lights up when he sees ice cream, or the way the fall light dances through the leaves. Look for it, wherever you go. (If you're on Instagram, connect with me! While I always look for beauty, I often take pictures just as a way to keep me awake to fantastic things all around me.
- Practice Gratitude. Being a Negative Nelly (or Ned) doesn't help anything. But practicing gratitude changes your whole mindset. If you happen to be of the Christian tradition, consider a practice called the Examen, which is a very old practice popularized by St. Ignatius. You can read more here.)
- Practice Yoga and/or Meditation. The breath is very powerful, especially combined with purposeful stillness or purposeful movement. If you're not there yet, just practice breathing. Breathe to counts of 10, where you count one on the inhale, two on the exhale, etc. Once you hit ten, start over. Try it for 3 or 5 minutes, or whatever you have. If you really want to feel positive effects, practice breathing so your belly (not your chest) expands when you inhale.
- Walk. It's the same idea, but use it as a chance to breathe and notice beauty.
- Exercise. Ok, ok, most people tell you that walking is exercise, and it is to an extent. But I also mean do things where your heart rate gets up, and you expend a lot of energy. It gets your endorphins going, but a good sweat fest does wonders for clearing the brain.
What works for you? Would love to hear your comments!

The National Weather Service reported that more than a foot of snow was recorded in parts of the Southampton Town as a result of Winter Storm Grayson, or the "bomb cyclone."
While many stations in Southampton and East Hampton did not have recorded levels of snow, Eastport saw 14.5 inches of snow.
Joe Pollina, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Upton, said the snow levels were lower to the east.
"We were forecasting over a foot for portions on the East End," Mr. Pollina said on Friday. "We were pretty much on target."
Along with the snow, strong winds were also felt on the East End, with top speeds reported in areas like Shinnecock Bay, which had a gust of 54 mph, Mecox Bay, with a gust of 51 mph, and Montauk, with a gust of 46 mph.
PSEG Long Island officials reported that more than 21,694 customers on the island were affected by Thursday's storm, as heavy winds, snow and ice on electric lines posed an increased risk of downed lines and power outages. As of 8:45 p.m. Thursday night, PSEG officials said, 21,139 of those customers had their power restored.
Many schools and government offices remained closed on Friday as the East End worked to recover from a blizzard that dumped more than a foot of snow in some places.
All Southampton Town offices and facilities, including transfer stations were closed on Friday. In East Hampton, town offices and facilities were operating on a two-hour delay, but were expected to open.
Check local school websites for information on school closings.
State Assemblyman Fred Thiele said out of the 6,300 customers without power, one third of those customers are in Brookhaven and the five East End towns.
While the power outages have not lasted long and he has not heard of any serious accidents, Mr. Thiele said, he anticipates the state of emergency put in place by Governor Cuomo will continue to be in place through Thursday night.
Westhampton Beach Mayor Maria Moore said Village Department of Public Works crews have been out plowing the roads since early Thursday morning, but the strong winds and resulting drifting have made it difficult for them to make progress, especially on Dune Road.
"They plan to continue to plow through the night," Ms. Moore said. "People seem to be heading the warning and staying off the roads. Happily, no one has reported power outages yet."
In an email on Thursday, East Hampton Town Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc said that, all things considered, "everything is going well."
The newly inaugurated supervisor, who only started his position on Tuesday, said that he's received no reports of any major accidents on the roads since declaring a state of mergency at 9 a.m. He did note reports of power outages scattered throughout the town, including on Winding Way and Pleasant Lane. Gerard Drive also suffered power outages, and the road was closed, as high winds had made Gardiners Bay breach the causeway. The supervisor said Town Highway Department crews are still out plowing the roads.
"We are asking people to stay of the roads for their safety and for the safety and efficiency of the plow crews," the supervisor said.
Southampton Town declared a State of Emergency on Thursday morning as police and emergency crews work to clear the roads during the storm.
Plows were still focusing on plowing major roads on Thursday morning, where visibility is at 50 feet or less, according to Deputy Supervisor Frank Zappone.
"Our biggest problem right now is the visibility, the wind, and drifting snow," Mr. Zappone said.
There were about a dozen motor vehicle accidents reported of people who attempted to drive in the snow, according to the deputy supervisor. The crashes were largely single vehicle accidents, due to spinning out on the ice or the poor visibility levels.
Public Safety Director Steven Troyd described the visibility as a "white out."
"The winds are pretty strong and it's causing problems with people driving," Mr. Troyd added. "They shouldn't be on the roads."
Tuckahoe Road was closed on Thursday because of high snow drifts, Mr. Zappone noted.
Mr. Zappone is urging people to stay off the roads for their safety and to allow emergency personnel to do their jobs.
"The less traffic the more effective our road cleanup is going to be," Mr. Zappone said.
The town has an emergency center opened at police headquarters on Jackson Avenue where police, firefighters, and emergency medical services are available. Non emergency calls can be made to the center at 631-728-3400.
Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency across Long Island and other parts of the State, and issued a travel advisory for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday.
"In the face of blizzard conditions and freezing temperatures, I am declaring a state of emergency across New York City, Long Island and Westchester to urge New Yorkers to stay home, stay off the roads, and stay safe," Gov. Cuomo said in a press release. "We will continue to monitor the storm and have deployed hundreds of assets and personnel across the state and on Long Island, ready to respond and assist impacted communities. I ask all New Yorkers to stay informed, and continue to prepare for cold and snow."
The National Weather Service said blizzard conditions are expected through the afternoon.
David Stark, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Upton said the heavy snow and strong winds will start to drop off late Thursday afternoon, and the snow should stop between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Though the winds are expected to drop slightly, Mr. Stark said, they are still expected to be between 35 and 45 miles per hour during the day on Friday, and should weaken to 25 miles per hour on Saturday.
Temperatures on the East End are expected to drop to about 10 degrees overnight, and the wind chills will be between -5 and -10 degrees, Mr. Stark said.
He added, on Saturday, the temperatures are expected to drop into the single digits, with wind chills closer to -15 degrees.
East Hampton Town Supervisor Van Scoyoc declared a snow emergency on Thursday morning, beginning at 9 a.m.
Mr. Van Scoyoc said all cars parked on the roads need to be removed so that roads can be plowed.
Quogue Village Police Lieutenant Christopher Isola also asked that people stay off the roads to allow the Village Department of Public Works crews to plow the roads. He added that officers are out on patrol in four wheel drive vehicles and they are operating on normal staffing numbers.
As of Thursday morning, the villages of East Hampton, Westhampton Beach and Southampton have declared a state of emergency because of weather conditions.
The Westhampton Beach Village Hall is closed today and tonight's Board of Trustees meeting has been rescheduled tfor January 10 at 5pm.
Peter Sartorius, the mayor of the Village of Quogue, said the village office is closed and the highway department is plowing the roads.
"[The] fire department is on standby at the station and prepared to respond to calls if needed," Mr. Sartorius said. He added that the Village has the ability to email residents who have provided their email addresses, if needed.
The blizzard conditions have also forced many school districts to cancel operations for the day.
The National Weather service said blizzard conditions were seen across the East End of Long Island on Thursday morning, with high winds and heavy snow causing whiteout conditions, and a little thunder mixed in.
According to Tim Morrin, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Upton, snow was coming down at a rate of 2 inches per hour, with some areas even seeing 3 inches per hour, and winds were already gusting to between 45 and 50 miles per hour.
Some areas were expected to see up to 12 to 14 inches of snow, Mr. Morrin said, as conditions are expected to worsen throughout the day until the afternoon, when snow should taper off.
Still, Mr. Morrin said the conditions will stick around for a few days.
"After all is said and done, a shot of brutally cold arctic air will lock everything in place," Mr. Morrin said. Forecasts show temperatures dropping into the single digits following the storm, on Friday and Saturday.
"Blowing snow will be an issue for the next few days," Mr. Morrin added.
East Hampton Village officials said due to the impending weather conditions, Village Hall was closed on Thursday and the work session scheduled for the same day was cancelled.
East Hampton Town offices will be closed on Thursday, and Thursday night's scheduled Town Board meeting has been cancelled, the town announced Wednesday night.
The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for Southeast Suffolk County that goes into effect at 1 a.m. Thursday and runs through 1 a.m. Friday.
Officials are warning that strong winds could take down trees, power lines, and unsecured Christmas decorations.
Snow forecasts were upped to 8 to 12 inches, with drifts measuring up to 18 to 24 inches, according to the weather service.
Southampton Town Hall will be closed on Thursday, due to the storm, according to Deputy Supervisor Frank Zappone.
Many school districts are expected to close schools as well. Check district websites for more information.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning on Wednesday morning for Suffolk County from 1 a.m. Thursday through midnight on Thursday. The 'bomb cyclone' is expected to dump between 6 and 10 inches in much of the county, with higher accumulations to the eastern most portions of Long Island.
Bomb cyclones form "when a midlatitude cyclone rapidly intensifies, dropping at least 24 millibars over 24 hours," according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's website.
With gusts of wind between 45 and 50 mph, the National Weather Service said blizzard conditions are expected, along with heavy and drifting snow
The National Weather Service said a winter storm warning for heavy snow means severe winter weather conditions are expected, and could bring significant amounts of snow that will make travel dangerous. The National Weather Service suggests that an extra flashlight, food and water should be brought along if a person must travel.
A winter storm watch was issued for all of Suffolk County for Wednesday night through Thursday evening, with accumulations of snow predicted to be between 4 and 6 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
Snow is expected to begin falling during the evening commute on Wednesday evening, according to the National Weather Service, and should taper off by late Thursday.
Gale force winds between 30 and 40 miles per hour are expected, which could result in drifts formed by blowing snow and significantly reduced visibility.
On Tuesday, Faye Morrone, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Upton said the storm is expected to pull warmer temperatures from the south, bringing the temperature close to 32-degrees on the East End.
"It's really still something we need to monitor," she said. "It certainly does look like the East End of Long Island will get more snow than New York City. It's likely to be one of the more snowier spots."
The National Weather Service said a winter storm watch means there is potential for significant snow, sleet or ice accumulations that may impact travel.

Ruth Mildred George Lasco, of Surprise, AZ, gently fell into the arms of her Savior at 11:00 A.M., Saturday, January 20, 2018 in Sun City West, AZ. She was 96 years old, and was surrounded by children and grandchildren singing her favorite hymns.
Ruth was born in Philadelphia on June 24, 1921, the second of the late Edgar and Eva George's three daughters. She married John Lasco Jr. on September 30, 1939. John passed away July 12, 2012, at 95 years.
Ruth's life was as busy as a life could be. She and John had six children, all born while John was serving 28 years in the U.S. Navy, much of that time at sea. She was wildly-adaptable, making new homes for her growing family in many cities and states.
Ruth was as devoted to God's work as she was to her family, and quickly found a church home wherever the family was living. At her passing, she was a long-time member of Grace Community Church in Surprise.
She was also active, for much of her life, in Christian Women's Club, both in Arizona, and in Quincy, IL, where she and John lived from 1973 to 2001.
Ruth was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, and loved by all. Her heart was large enough to love all that she met . Generous in spirit and substance, she never had an enemy.
She is survived by five of her six children: Thomas Alan, of Altusried, Germany; Andrew James, of Surprise; Ruth Johann, of Penrose, CO; Susan, of San Diego, and Mary Jane, of Phoenix. She also counted nine grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and a great-grandchild scheduled to arrive in April, as her beloved family. Her son, John Richard, and his wife, Barbara, preceded her in death in 1978.
SERVICES: Visitation will be from 9 to 11 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 25, at Grace Community Church in Surprise. Funeral service will follow at 11 a.m. at the church, with the Rev. Cooper McWherter conducting. Interment will be in Sunland Memorial Park in Surprise.
MEMORIALS: In lieu of flowers, please donate, in Ruth's name, to the American Heart Association.

We-Flock Fabrics and Illustrations
'The name We-Flock came to me by chance, but its significance lies in the fact that we are all naturally drawn towards that which we feel is beautiful and intriguing', says Claudette Maskell, the latest illustrator and screen printer on our radar. This Cape Town-based graphic designer was awarded a stand as an Emerging Creative at Design Indaba 2012 and has a definite knack for creating unique fabrics and prints. Her intricate works are first drawn with ink and brush, are then digitally reworked and finally screen printed onto fabric or paper. When asked what inspires her unusual designs, Claudette told us that her illustrations explore aspects of ritualism, tribal art and patterning. She also finds motivation in street art, graffiti, pop culture symbolism and elements of mysticism in cultures, religions and nature. We certainly enjoy her eye for unexpected combinations and the cartoon-like appeal of her illustrations. After graduating with an Honours degree in Graphic Design at the University of the North West (NWU), Potchefstroom, in 2011, Claudette was also a three times Loerie finalist in print, craft and mixed media campaigns, and received a number of impressive accolades during her studies. Her prints are available at two Cape Town stores already: Vamp at 368 Albert Road, Woodstock, and Marigold at 21 De Lorentz Street, Oranjezicht. If you have any queries or wish to order any fabric or prints you can email Claudette at email@example.com.

Phonics Phrenzy II
Ninety-five percent of all words in English are spelled phonetically, as proponents of phonics love to tell us. Of course, that includes the word "phonics" itself, which, while technically phonetically spelled, you wouldn't want to teach the "ph" digraph first thing. So phonetically spelled words include a great number of words that are only marginally phonetic. And how do you count such words as "women" and "nation"?
More to the point, however, is that a relatively high proportion of words in primer and pre-primers, the very books beginning readers will be expected to "sound out," are in fact not phonetic. Note the following list of words:
|wass (rhymes with "mass")
|sayd (rhymes with "maid")
|too (rh. with "blue")
|sowm (rh. with "home")
|summ (rh. with"hum")
|hayve (rhymes with "wave")
|hav (rhymes with "salve")
|own(rhymes with moan")
|to, do, who
|toe, doe, whowe? (rhymes with "owe")
|too, doo, hoo (rhymes with "blue")
|ohnss? Or ownss?
None of them are phonetic, and all of them are common first grade words. Whatever the merits of phonics, there are proportionally more exceptions in the early vocabulary. So when phonics are supposedly most important, they are the least useful.
Some systems attempt to teach all the phonetic sounds before teaching any None of them are phonetic, and all of them are common first grade words. Whatever the merits of phonics, there are proportionally more exceptions in the early vocabulary. So when phonics are supposedly most important, they are the least useful.
Some systems attempt to teach all the phonetic sounds before teaching any words. In my opinion, this is the worst possible approach. Confusing children with exceptions, or advanced sounds they are not likely to encounter in their reading, only causes fatigue and discouragement. Just how useful is learning all those combinations? Ask yourself. How many of the so-called phonics rules do you know? Yet you are reading this post. Like so many instructional approaches, these "learn-all-the-possible-sounds-before-you-read" systems ignore the way we actually learn, the way we actually read.
As a mature reader, how often do you use phonics as you read? In truth, we only use it in cases where we encounter a new or unfamiliar word. Chances are you haven't had to sound out a single word in this post. Indeed, if you had to sound out each word as you went along, you'd soon tire of reading and give up the project. Phonics is not the way we read. Nor is it the way children read.
Phonics is excellent for remediation, for helping older poor readers overcome fear and difficulty. That is not what it is commonly used for. The most common application of phonics today is to artificially accelerate reading. No single task causes parents and teachers such anxiety as learning to read. Reading is the key to the world of learning, and as such, it is a gatekeeping skill. Difficulty or inability to read will make the rest of learning difficult or impossible. So the concern is understandable. Because of this anxiety, parents and teachers do what they usually do in such circumstances: they panic, and try to do too much, too soon.
After many years of observing, I can tell artificially accelerated students almost immediately. They always read phonetically, stilted, one syl-la-ble-at-a-time. Taught to read phonetically before their natural desire and readiness blossomed, they are still frozen in time. Some overcome the damage done by too early instruction through intelligence or sheer desire, but too many do not.
