This past winter we did an extended comparison and product review between the Klim Powerxross Pullover and Togwotee Bib with the FXR Vertical Attack Bib and Jacket. Both brands are specifically designed for aggressive mountain riders.
Usually during the season we tend to gravitate to one product or the other. However, this past winter we found that both brands delivered what they promised-functional protection and comfortable fit.
Similarities-Both FXR and Klim recognize the need to provide a lightweight breathable suit for active western riders, while still offering enough insulating features to keep one warm on those cold mornings. Although both offer styles of jackets which are designed to maintain body warmth in a cold environment, the Powerxross and Vertical Attack jackets are fairly light and work best when the rider is more active.
In other words, if you're merely sitting on your sled and driving, you may get cold. If you're active and riding, you will likely generate enough body warmth to keep you comfortable. Your riding style will dictate whether you should consider these jackets or whether you should consider something of a heavier design. And naturally, layering is a preferred option to both.
Likes-Both are breathable and wear well in mountain riding conditions. Both are just light enough that you can layer on colder mornings or if you're spending a bunch of time on the trail. Once in the trees or when temperatures warm a bit, you can remove your inner layer and be comfortable for the rest of the day.
Dislikes-Whoever thought of designing the bib zipper to rotate from the hip to the back of the heel must have been extremely flexible. But for us overweight, out-of-shape guys, twisting and turning our upper body to reach the back to our heels after riding all day is not an easy thing to do.
In other words, when you get dressed (all nice and dry), you are starting in an area that is easy to reach (at the side of your hip) and you pull the zipper down (which is easy since you're pulling down against something that is secure). But at the end of the day when you are tired and wet, you start in an area difficult to reach (the back of your foot) and you are pulling up against a frozen zipper which becomes less secure the more you pull.
If you like functional pockets, both Klim and FXR offer you standard pants pocket plus the cargo pockets that are positioned midway between your waist and knee. The FXR may be slightly lighter weight, but both offered sufficient protection throughout the winter. Both have distinguishable features that make each special. The FXR has belt loops and a built-in waist adjustment to offer a slimmer fit. The Klim bibs feature pockets on the chest area that are perfect for glasses or cell phones.
Both offer leg gators. The Klim gators tend to be a little more sufficient for keeping the snow from slipping up the legs when stomping around in the powder. The FXR bibs are probably designed more for trail riding protection. Also, both bibs provide knee padding.
As for the jackets, we had two distinct styles. The Klim is a pullover with a large kangaroo pouch in the front. The FXR is a standard jacket which zips up the front. (Both manufacturers offer both styles.) The jacket style lends itself to smaller pockets . but there are four of them on the coat.
Both jackets feature arm gators that allow you to hook your thumbs in the inner liner and keep the wind and cold from sneaking up the arms. Both also zip up the front collar to make a mock turtle collar protection. Both also provide ventilation zippers under the arm pits.
Each set of clothing has its strengths and very few, if any, weaknesses.
The Klim Powerxross Pullover retails for $279.99 and the Togwotee Bib for $389.99. The FXR Vertical Attack Jacket retails for $299.99 (although at the time of our deadline it was on sale for $259.99 on the FXR website) and the Vertical Attack Bib for $299.99 (on sale for $279.99).

Hello! Welcome to This Spicy Life… Happy summer, everyone! Sorry I have been absent again for such a long stretch. We went on vacation for a few weeks in June. I have been trying to catch up with the home and kid stuff – the garden is wild with weeds and veggies and the kids are wild with energy and summer activities.
Today I'm featuring a spicy refrigerator pickle recipe from my friend Leena. We stayed at her house during our vacation and we ate this pickle with breakfast, then lunch and then dinner almost everyday! It was that good! She generously shared her recipe with me so now I am making it a staple in our home. BTW, Leena has a treasure trove of delicious recipes up her sleeve that I hope to include here in the future.
If you have never tried Indian pickles, you are in for a treat. They are spicy, but sometimes sweet, tangy, crisp and salty morsels of goodness that usually accompany simple Indian meals. Meals like rice and dal or roti and raita/yogurt can be made into something a lot more fantastic by the addition of a little pickle on the side. You can buy pickles at Indian grocery stores as well as some regular grocery stores. Experiment with one or two brands to see what you like. We love pickle so much in our house that I just counted 16 jars/bags of pickle ready to eat. Some good basic pickles to start out with are lemon, mixed pickle and maybe tomato or garlic.
The following recipe is a simple pickle to make but it may be a little difficult to find the ingredients. The green mangoes that are used are not the typical sweet variety that are found in most grocery stores in the US. They are a different variety of mango that stays sour (but with a mango taste) even when they become soft. This mango can be found in many Indian / Asian grocery stores and sometimes in Latin stores. If you find them, try to get the firmest fruits possible.
The other ingredient that should be readily available at an Indian grocery is "Pickle Masala". Choose one that contains only coarse red chili and fenugreek seeds (and maybe salt). I found a couple of different brands in my local store.
The pickle will take a few days to ripen and it tastes better the longer it sits. Be sure to put the pickle in a sterilized or very clean jar as this will help the pickle keep longer in the refrigerator.
If you don't know how to cut mangoes, check out this link.
Fiery Fresh Mango Pickle
Makes about 4 cups
- 4 firm green mangoes, peeled and cut in small chunks
- 2 tbsp turmeric powder
- 6 – 10 tbsp "pickle masala" made from course chili powder and fenugreek seeds
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 cup oil (canola, grapeseed or olive oil – not extra virgin)
- Place the cut mango in a large bowl.
- Stir in the turmeric powder.
- Allow to sit for 1 hour at room temperature.
- Move the mango pieces to a colander and allow to drain for 15 minutes.
- Spread the mango pieces on a tea towel (an old one since the turmeric will stain) or paper towels. Pat dry and allow to sit at room temp for 30 – 60 minutes.
- Return the mango pieces to the bowl and add 6 tbsp of the masala and about 2 tsp salt. Mix well and taste. Add more masala and salt until you have the flavor that you like. Pickles are supposed to be spicy, so don't hold back too much! Also, the "raw" masala hasn't mellowed yet, so the pickle may have a somewhat bitter taste at this point. Have faith…it will turn out great!
- Cover the bowl and let it sit at room temp for two days, stirring once in the morning and once in the evening.
- Place the pickle (it's almost done!) in a sterilized or extremely clean glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Pour the 1/2 cup oil over the top of the pickle and put the lid on the jar.
- Place the jar outside during the day in the sun for a course of two days. (When I made this the first time we had very hazy, cloudy days. I didn't place it outside but did let it sit out on the counter in my kitchen – it turned out fine.)
- You will see that most of the oil is absorbed into the mango and the masala. The pickle is ready to eat. Store in the refrigerator. This should last for at least several weeks or longer.

Tides, Earth's Rotation Among Sources of Giant Underwater Waves
ScienceDaily — Scientists at the University of Rhode Island are gaining new insight into the mechanisms that generate huge, steep underwater waves that occur between layers of warm and cold water in coastal regions of the world's oceans.
David Farmer, a physical oceanographer and dean of the URI Graduate School of Oceanography, together with student Qiang Li, said that large amplitude, nonlinear internal waves can reach heights of 150 meters or more in the South China Sea, and the effects they have on surface wave fields ensure that they are readily observable from space.
Farmer and Li are reporting results of their research at the Ocean Sciences Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in Portland, Ore.
"The large waves in the South China Sea have attracted a fair bit of attention in recent years," Farmer said, "but much of this has been directed at the interaction of the waves with the sloping continental shelf of mainland China where they break, overturn and produce intense mixing. Our focus is on the way in which they are generated in Luzon Strait, between Taiwan and the Philippines, and the way they evolve as they propagate westwards across the deep ocean basin of the South China Sea."
Farmer and Li studied the evolution of large internal waves occurring at tidal periods generated by currents traversing submarine ridges in Luzon Strait. As these waves travel west through the South China Sea, they steepen and evolve into packets of steep, energetic waves occurring at periods of 20-30 minutes. It is these energetic short period waves that modulate the ocean surface roughness, making their presence observable from satellites in space.
The URI scientists' observations showed that the Earth's rotation modifies internal waves as they travel cross the deep basin. This effect mainly influences the internal waves that form on the 24-hour period of diurnal tides, dispersing the energy and inhibiting the steepening process. Internal waves that form on the semi-diurnal tides are not affected in this way, are more readily steepened and then break into the energetic, short period waves.
Farmer and Li studied internal waves in the South China Sea using pressure equipped inverted echo-sounders, instruments developed by scientists at the University of Rhode Island. From the seafloor, the device transmits an acoustic pulse and then listens for the echo from the sea surface. Sound travels faster through warm water than it does through cold water, so changes in the echo delay allow measurement of the thickness of the warm surface layer, enabling the shape and size of passing internal waves to be recorded.
According to Farmer, nonlinear internal waves impact the ocean in many ways: stirring up sediment on the sea floor, creating hazards to offshore engineering structures, interfering with submarine navigation, and greatly affecting propagation of underwater sound. Internal waves also appear to have significant, if not fully understood, biological impacts, and in shallow water environments they can mix water masses and modify coastal circulation.

Toothaches in Conroe
If you have a tooth that becomes painful when you eat something that is hot or cold, or when pressure is placed upon it, you most likely have a tooth that needs to have a root canal treatment. At Pioneer Dentistry of Conroe, our expert dentist, Dr. Okey Okechukwu, can determine the exact cause of your toothache and provide you with treatment at our Conroe dental office.
There are different reasons for a toothache. If you have a tooth that has infected or damaged pulp in the center, you will need to have a root canal treatment in order to save the tooth. Other common causes for toothaches are a tooth that has a dental cavity and becomes painful when you eat something that is sweet. Wisdom teeth are also common causes of toothaches, and when they cause problems, are usually extracted, as they are not needed in the mouth. Toothaches can also be caused by gum problems. At our Conroe dental office, our expert dentist will determine exactly what is causing your tooth problem and let you know which treatment is needed. If you need to have a root canal treatment to save the tooth, this will be determined by a clinical exam, as well as the findings of an x-ray. Today, patients are able to have root canal procedures performed at our office while they remain perfectly comfortable. This is due to our use of modern dental anesthesia, state-of-the-art technology, and the most recent proven dental techniques. Whenever possible, our dentist will want to save a tooth, rather than have it removed. The good news is the root canal procedures are able to save teeth in over 90% of cases. The sooner a root canal procedure is performed, the more likely it is to be effective, so you will always want to take an appointment to visit our dental practice sooner, rather than later.
For an appointment to be seen by our top-notch dentists at our Conroe dental office, simply contact us today.

Here are three key elements for what could come next for coaching. Which one speaks most to you?
Deepen our relationship with and narratives about fear. Thresholds are not for the faint-hearted or ill-prepared. Be a guardian at those gates so people can embrace their fear and move through it rather than have to project it onto others and move away from it. Create safe places where they freely express their fear, learn to self-regulate, and transmute its energy into something more generative. Bring people into contact with the Unknown so it becomes their ally not their enemy. What is your story about fear?
Deepen our commitment to be proactive not just reactive. Our work as coaches is often about responding to the needs our clients bring to us and in terms that are 'in' at that moment. While this makes for a solid business strategy, it often means we are addressing symptoms not causes and enabling people to merely cope instead of boldly create. For example, rather than making schools more 'positive', why are we not supporting efforts to completely reinvent them? It is about proactively stepping toward the Unknown not just reactively attending to the Known. What is your story about your role?
Deepen our willingness to see our shared humanity. Coaching has largely been about facilitating growth through one to one conversations. It seems time now to move beyond that to see whole organizations or communities as a coachee. Time to move beyond what separates us to focus more on what unites us. It seems now that everything becomes polarized so quickly as expressions of our anxieties about the Unknown future. In response, I've started to focus on compassionately seeing each person first and foremost as a human and each group as part of a shared humanity. What is your story about people?

This newstory gave me a respit from chasing or being chased by change. Love the question about "your story of fear." Fear is storied after all! Cheers from Croatia...
7/21/2016 01:24:02 pm
David, love the reinvention sentiments. Individuals, families, organisations, communities and institutions. Thank you for your work and ongoing inspirations! Loretta
David Drake
7/26/2016 09:13:52 am
Thanks, Loretta. As per Sharon's comment, I feel a new energy now to move beyond the personal transformation side of narrative coaching to explore how to use it more explicitly on a broader scale. Keen to get my next book done and see where it takes me. Hope all is well for you....

Hello,David. Another South African coach here and a follower of your work. All 3 points so relevant here in SA and all over the world. Our role as coaches is the new story for our work.
David Drake

Thanks, Sharon. Always fun to learn about those who are walking along side me. I'm still keen to find a way to bring more of this work to South Africa.

Hi David. Paul from NZ here. 'Deepen our relationships with and narratives about fear' resonates with me. Getting immersed in the C/M field now through study, I am working with teachers in schools where hidden fears create massive barriers to success. Becoming comfortable with the unknown...I like this statement.
David Drake
7/26/2016 09:10:15 am
Thanks, Paul. Sounds like you are doing good work in schools. So much of our growth as humans seems to come from facing re-narrating our fears so we can move further into the unknown.

I appreciate the following and comments this blog receives, and give all thanks and credit to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It may seem odd that this blog appears to focus on the folly of mankind's continuous warfare, but I believe I can still enjoy this hobby so long as I put Him first in all I do. Maranatha!

To Whom It May Concern:
I am formally applying for the position of goat herder within your company. Do you have a company? LLC? I couldn't find any mention of you on Google. No matter either way as I am still interested.
Unfortunately, I currently do not have any education or training within the field of goat herding but, you see, I'm looking for a new line of work and since I don't really know where to start, I figured I might as well try to do something that looked fulfilling from a movie I saw once.
Plus I like goats. Or at least I think I do. I think I petted one once at a petting zoo when I was ten and even though that was — years ago it was a defining moment in my formative years I like to think.
Maybe you're confused as to why someone with my formal corporate training in marketing and advertising — twelve years of graphic design and art direction, an excellent portfolio working for some of the best brands in the business — would want to leave that salary and herd goats?
Well, you see, this isn't the future I was promised and since, as it seems currently, that all bets are off, I figure I might as well put all my talent and drive into something a little more fulfilling. Something that has a lot of hours outdoors, working with animals, enjoying the elements. Because if I have to sit in a chair for eight hours one more day I'm afraid that I might implode or spontaneously combust and when they're selling museum tickets to my mummified room and tourists are standing outside just beyond the velvet rope they'll see a little charred artist's recreation of me and the Tour Guide will say:
"He never left."
I look forward to your response.

While anorexics hop from one site to another and use everchanging hashtags to avoid bans on their pro-ana content, a new study shows that so-called thinspiration blogs could actually be a prelude to recovery.
Researchers at Indiana University interviewed 33 female pro-ana bloggers between ages 15 and 33. About two-thirds lived in the United States. The Indiana team acknowledged that their study findings are different from media coverage and other research about the pro-ana community.
While anorexics' posted writings and photos can be disturbing, study results revealed that pro-ana bloggers are looking for support, rather than trying to recruit others to follow their unhealthy path.
Anorexia nervosa is classified as a mental disorder and afflicts more than 11 million people in the United States, according to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders. Anorexics lose between 15-60% of their healthy body weight.
"These communities are providing support, albeit supporting an illness that may result in someone's death," Nicole Martins, research team member, said in a statement. "But until they're ready to go and seek recovery on their own terms, this might actually be a way of prolonging their life, so that they are mentally ready to tackle their recovery process."
Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest all have policies to ban users who post material that promotes anorexia as a viable lifestyle. But pro-ana photos, advice and comments have not disappeared. For instance, a search for photos with the hashtag #thin produced more than 170,000 results on Instagram, including one with the comment, "Someone make me look like this please?"
But the study suggests that most pro-ana bloggers realize they have a serious problem. Of the 33 women interviewed, 27 defined their eating disorder as a mental illness and six said it was a coping mechanism. Contrary to previous research based on content analysis of the blogs, only three of those interviewed called anorexia a "lifestyle."
The majority of the sample reported that blogging about their illness improves their mood, and they found relief through their writing.
"I think that's encouraging that a majority don't look at it as a lifestyle," Martins said. "The silver lining is there that if they realize that it's a disease, then maybe they'll eventually seek help for it. But right now this is how they're coping."

Florian Bergér made his mark on the San Diego track in today's Free Practice sessions. The current Challenger Cup title holder was masterful in his flying when he topped the timesheets of both Free Practice sessions.
The German pilot managed to knock nearly three seconds off his time in the afternoon session, stopping the clock in 1:09.073. His Challenger Class rivals didn't even come close to catching Bergér. Kevin Coleman was closest in Free Practice, but was 3.439s slower than Bergér.
New Challenger Kenny Chiang was third fastest in only his second flight in the track during the afternoon session, crossing the finish line in 1:12.562, just 0.050s behind Coleman.
Baptiste Vignes and Daniel Genevey, the other two new Challengers finished fifth and sixth in Free Practice 2.
The first Free Practice session went as anyone would expect with the more experienced pilots coming out on top. Bergér set the fastest time crossing the Start/Finish Gate in 1:12.307. It was enough to see him top of the timesheet even though he picked up a two second penalty for incorrect level through the gate, just below him was local hero, Coleman who was just 0.882s slower.
Vignes was third on the timesheet, and actually set a faster time in the earlier session, a great achievement at his second race. Czepiela was fourth after a penalty-filled session that saw him finish with a best time of 1:14.580. He was also fourth in the later session, but managed to quell his penalty count.
The six pilots will be reviewing their times and lines ready for Qualifying tomorrow, you can follow all the action HERE.

Heaven & Hell Pay Tribute To Ronnie James Dio At High Voltage Festival
According to a show review by Classic Rock Magazine, Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Vinny Appice sent shivers down the spine, as they delivered the ultimate tribute to the man who's not there. It has to be said that singers Jorn Lande (MASTERPLAN) and Glenn Hughes (ex-DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) did a stunning job, not only reminding us all of the tragic loss – and there are some truly tearful moments – but also underlining the way Dio's legacy has united us all. And when Wendy Dio comes on to read out a message out the cancer charity Stand Up And Shout, there are tears in almost every eye,. Mind you, Heaven & Hell also offer the day's most surreal moment, when Phil Anselmo dashes on during the encore of Neon Knights and snatches the microphone from an aghast Hughes. Hat stand time."
According to Setlist.fm, the set-list was as follows:
'The Mob Rules' (Jorn Lande vocals)
'I' (Jorn Lande vocals)
'Country Girl (Glenn Hughes vocals)
'Children of the Sea (Glenn Hughes vocals)
'Turn Up The Night (Jorn Lande vocals)
'Bible Black' (Glenn Hughes vocals)
'Die Young' (Jorn Lande vocals)
'Heaven and Hell' (Jorn Lande/Glenn Hughes vocals
'Neon Knights (Jorn Lande/Glenn Hughes vocals)

Apparently, today was a slow news day.
So Fox News evidently decided to pore through our millions of user-created pages on My.BarackObama.com and put a screenshot of inflammatory content on the front page of FoxNews.com.
You see, more than 700,000 people have created accounts on the system. You can create one right now if you choose, in about a minute -- anyone can.
Now, from time to time people get up to no good -- creating fake profiles (like one for Sean Hannity created today), or posting profane or inappropriate content. When they do, the community reports the offending content and if it violates our terms of service it is removed (as the Sean Hannity profile was).
My.BarackObama.com has been at the core of our bottom-up organizing strategy. The tools available have been put to work by a community of supporters that is bigger and more powerful than anything presidential politics has ever seen.
Evidently, Fox News didn't think it was a big deal that hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans are participating in the democratic process creating groups and local events in communities all across the country.
But they did think it was a big deal that one random person on the Internet, without the knowledge of the Obama campaign, posted a profile in the system with the image of the New Black Panther Party on it.
When we were alerted of the existence of this page, we pulled it down. Yet even after we pulled the page, Fox News continues to disingenuously and prominently feature this "story" on their homepage.
Dear FoxNews and every other so-called news agency:
I truly believe that we have come to a point in our history where we must make a decision about who we are as a nation. Are we a nation that's only objective is to continue with the dumbing down of
The definition of patriotism is: devoted love, support, and defense of one's country; national loyalty.
True love for one's country is exhibited by actions, not words. True love is illustrated by what one is willing to risk in order to help another grow and become greater. Some call it tough love. I call it nurturing. In order to nurture effectively you have to be willing to take the blinders off, recognize the character defects, and help them towards growth. The key phrase here is RECOGNIZE THE CHARACTER DEFECTS. Yesterday, Senator Obama potentially risked his presidential nomination for the good of this country. THAT IS PATRIOTISM. What has NewsCorp risked for the good of our country?
Now I understand that NewsCorp is a business and that the purpose of the business is to increase shareholder value. However, one has to question an entity that has portrayed itself as a source of true journalism yet has to answer not to the community in which it is supposed to serve; but to shareholders and the corporations that give it money to advertise. So in truth, NewsCorp's true customer is not us, the consumer; but the mega corporations that advertise on its airwaves, etc. And that would be fine, if NewsCorp were honest about its true reason for being.
Unfortunately, the American public still views journalists as one of the checks and balances of our society. NewsCorp has absolutely failed in this regard. Not only have you compared one of the most courageous presidential candidates in recent history to Adolph Hitler, you are now scouring mybarackobama.com for rogue blogs. Your tactics do not alleviate my suspicion that FoxNews itself could be the perpetrator of these rogue pages. If Bill O'Reilly would compare our candidate to Adolph Hitler; if FoxNews will continuously give voice to verbal terrorists like Ann Coulter and portray it as news or true journalism; if FoxNews continues to report lies (as it did with the madrassa stories) pandering to fear and the lowest common denominator while only offering small insignificant retractions; then FoxNews has set itself up to be the object of suspicion when it starts to report on trivial matters as these.
You are on notice FoxNews and every other so-called news agency. This time is different. This time we will not follow blindly like lemmings. This time we will rise up and say, "That just won't do". This time we will rise up and say, "NOT THIS TIME". We want truth, we want justice and we're sick and tired of FoxNews lying to the American public and calling itself a voice of the people.

Harrison Talent Acquisition Solutions enable you to hire the right talent - and do it quickly. Our library of 6500 Job Success Formulas makes it easy for you to create customized assessments. Our job analysis enables you to automatically generate custom assessments using your unique job specific criteria while at the same time creating a clear consensus with other hiring stakeholders.
Our automatically generated pre-employment screening targets your specific requirements for qualification. It measures eligibility factors such as education, experience and skills producing an overall "eligibility score" that saves up to 80% administration time by ranking the applicants according to eligibility. It eliminates the need to review resumes except for qualified candidates. In addition to making deeply informed recruiting and hiring decisions, employers utilizing Harrison's Talent Acquisition Solutions reduce time to hire and minimize assessment costs. Most importantly, the system provides an overall score as a guideline for each step in the recruitment process ensuring the best candidates are hired.
For qualified applicants, the assessment process automatically proceeds to a behavioural questionnaire. The results of the behavioural questionnaire are calculated based on the job analysis for the specific job. It automatically selects from 175 factors to measure only job specific behavioural requirements. In addition to assessing behavioural competencies, it evaluates likely employee engagement and job satisfaction. By focusing on both the employee's and employer's needs, Harrison measures the degree to which mutual needs will be met, resulting in higher levels of employee engagement and retention. In addition, the easy-to-understand reports empower managers with on-boarding tools that facilitate accelerated engagement and performance.
Harrison's proprietary SmartQuestionnaire™ contains multiple layers of technological and psychological mechanisms to detect and prevent deception while minimizing the time it takes to complete the questionnaire (25 minutes). Harrison's ParadoxTechnology™ reveals whether strong behavioural tendencies are actually strengths or derailers in a given role-something other assessments fail to do. The Enjoyment Performance Methodology accurately predicts performance, engagement, retention, job satisfaction and career potential. Harrison's Decision Analytics identify the precise factors that will facilitate or inhibit success in the job.
Harrison Assessment's automated process and recruitment system dramatically elevates the quality of interviews by consistently focusing on key success factors and revealing behavioural issues that normally take months or years to discover. It transforms the candidate experience by enabling the interviewer to focus on mutual needs rather than only the needs of the company. It provides the interviewer with the key information necessary to offer top talent what they want.

San Diego Chargers Preview
LT's getting older. Shawne Merriman should be going under the knife. Antonio Gates is limping. So what. They still are one of the best teams in the NFL, which could easily be holding the Lombardi Trophy at season's end.
Offensively they are a powerhouse. LaDainian Tomlinson is the best Running Back in the league. He is so versatile and elusive. Michael Turner has moved on the Hotlanta, but Darren Sproles and Jacob Hester are ready to jump in and fill that role. Philip Rivers appears recovered from his knee injury. So much so that at times he can't remember which one he hurt. He has had more time to develop a rapport with Chris Chambers and Vincent Jackson will probably hit this year since last year was his supposed "breakout year". All too often that happens a year late. Antonio Gates should be fresh once he gets the rust off from missing the preseason with a toe injury. Their Offensive Line is Rock Solid and Nate Kaeding is one of the best Kickers in the game.
Defensively it all depends on how Shawne Merriman holds up. Personally, I think he should have surgery, but I'm not the one who makes that decision. As stupid as it is for Merriman to risk his career on it, it's equally negligent for the Chargers to allow it. Stephen Cooper (108 Tackles), Matt Wilhelm (97 Tackles), and Shaun Phillips (8.5 Sacks) complete one of the best Linebacking units in the league. Luis Castillo anchors their Defensive Front. Antonio Cromartie picked off 10 passes last year. Clinton Hart (85 tackles) was solid at Safety.
They are going to go as far as Shawne Merriman allows them. Sure, they can win withouth him, but it's going to be an emotional blow. If they decided before the season started to shut him down, they could have prepared better. I still think they will win the AFC West and make it to the AFC Title Game.
Fantasy-wise they are loaded. LT is your #1 pick. Antonio Gates is the first or second Tight End selected. Philip Rivers is a fantasy starting QB. Chris Chambers makes a great #2 or #3 wideout. Vincent Jackson is good for WR depth. Nate Kaeding should be one of the first Kickers taken (in the last round of course). San Diego Defense should be one of the first taken as well.

My love for food has been well documented. I'm not sure if my Asian baby obsession has made it onto the blog. Either way my future happiness wholly consists of these two things. No pressure Future Boyfriend.
You can imagine my fat kid and broody joy when I discovered the Youtube series Rino Which Eats World Various Dishes.
Rino is a little Japanese girl who clearly has one of the best moms ever. Her mom (and sometimes dad) cooks her various dishes from around the world. Then she eats them. The videos also show mom making the food which is like food porn. Sometimes her adorable brother appears but she does not like to share her food. We have that in common.
Here is a video of her eating Pad Thai, one of my desert island food choices.
Just a warning, these videos are addictive so remember to stop watching :)
Ex-Oh! Ex-Oh!

Odette en Ville
25 Rue du Châtelain
+ 32 (0) 26402626
While the XXL hotels always give me the impression of being locked away in Alcatraz, "Odette", with its old world charm and its eight fantastic bedrooms, makes me want to live there all year.
Initially, Odette was a country lady. She only received her guests in Williers, one of the smallest villages in France, barely a few kilometres from Belgium. After a while she wanted to experience some of the buzz of the city. So Odette went to Brussels, to the Châtelain district.
True to her philosophy, Odette created an exclusive space characterised by unpretentious luxury that encourages rest. The hotel's eight rooms all offer the same peaceful atmosphere, but each one is unique. For the autumn evenings, when there is a chill wind, I prefer the one with an open fireplace. The soporific powers of these bedrooms are such that I almost always end up regretting that there is so much to do in Brussels... Odette makes you want to spend the day tucked up under a warm, soft duvet!
I work as a fashion consultant, tear through the papers every morning, race off to concerts whenever I can and claim ""belgitude"" as a guarantee of original quality! My little extra: new shops, trendy concept-stores, organic restaurants and artists' workshops.

– yesterday was a good day - we needed to get some packs of Green newspapers from York cellar so decided to go by bike from Beverley - wearing our Green tabards of course. It was a nice ride via Cherry Burton and Etton. We ate our lunch by St Helens Well on the old railway line nr Mkt Weighton with all the ribbons attached to the tree. A robin came close for crumbs. Dropped in at 'Caring for Cats' (Mkt Wtn) open day…why do people apparently avoid black cats?...then to other side of A1079 (which is NOT bike-friendly): cuppa at pub at Melbourne and visited the Pocklington Canal where volunteers run free boat trips. We took a nice rural back route into York thru Heslington and over the Millennium bridge. Snuck into Fairfax Corner (www.fairfaxcorner.co.uk ) as the guests were out, watered pots in yard, changed clothes in shed , used outside loo, strapped papers onto trolley , had G & T and water with Rachel, and caught bus home - where Bill slept all the way and I put the world to rights with a very thoughtful lollipop man from Cottingham!...

Kelanen the hero-god of swordsmen and his two intelligent swords Sureguard and Swiftdoom. There is probably plenty of examples of intelligent weapons in fantasy literature and D&D in general, but does any character have TWO of them? Kelanen might not be so fortunate however as my comic from 2010 suggests. That's because intelligent items don't always have the same intent as their owner. Check it out and enjoy the puns!
p.s. be sure to read the annotations at the end of the comic.

Designing Pod Self-Disciplines
Programming your mind is an ongoing process that involves intention, focus & flow. The more you practice, the better you get & the sooner you realize your goals...
Elizabeth Bohorquez, RN, C.Ht
Sugar....the Hidden Eating Disorder - Who's Killing the Kids is a book/workbook/workshop in our Parenting the Parent Series. Visit with me as I design the metaphors for this & other projects in progress.
I'm happy to share some complimentary mp3 downloads with you. Each is a full interactive self-hypnosis session. Current ones include...
Serious Goal Building &
Becoming Consistent
Take a moment to relax deeply. Remember, you want to slow your brain waves, turning off & releasing all stress chemicals. This is centering, making yourself ready for new mind programming.
Outside each Pod is a chair. I ask you to sit in the chair, inviting stillness to enter your mind and body. There are many ways to do this. A simple technique is to breathe from your lower belly, just as if it contained a balloon of any color you desire. I like to sense my body being gently pulled down by magnets. It is perfectly fine to be standing instead of sitting. The chair is simply a metaphor for centering before entering the Pod Room. I also like to enhance my centering by imaging a golden egg surrounding my entire body. As I tilt my eyes up about twenty degrees, I locate my mind screen. This is where I will communicate with my subconscious mind.
There are many different ways for me to communicate. I can choose images or place words or simply think word-thoughts or combine both. I can ask questions or ask for what I would like or need. I always communicate "as if " I already had what I wanted ", perhaps wanting to know more about it or how I obtained it.
When working with daily self-discipline Pods, I might ask my subconscious mind how to make these better or how to highly motivate them. This works especially well when looking to re-program behaviors that are highly etched, such as disorderly eating or addictions.
Think of each Pod as a separate room that is only about the specific activity of choice. Everything in that room is related. While you will be familiar with many of the things in the Pod Room, there will be other things that are new to you, some of which you may not even be able to see clearly right now. You can also enter Pod Rooms just in the theater of your mind. This is especially useful when looking to highly create or to rehabilitate in a particular area that has been problematic in the past. Simply take some time to wander about, investigating whatever interests you. Allow your intuition to play out.
It's time to replace old automatic pilot behaviors and patterns, many heavily etched in your subconscious mind. You will be placing new mind programs directly over these, etching them again and again. Some will be edited versions, others brand new, highly original multi-faceted patterns and behaviors. This etching action is called consistency. Perhaps you heard that word somewhere and have personally experienced how difficult it is to come by. That is only because you didn't know the four steps you are learning here. These new etchings will become your new automatic pilot programs.
In the beginning these will feel like new shoes, but after twenty days or so, they will flow quite easily. You already know about Pod Rooms and the communication chair that sits outside. You also know how to communicate with your subconscious mind.
If you visit my website you will find an example of a daily self-discipline Pod Plan in the Mind & Body Fitness Boot Camp. Actually it's one of mine that I'm happy to share with you. When I design my plans, I have space for thirty days. I print this out and place it in my journal. Each day I enter the date, giving myself a check mark after communicating & entering each Pod room. This is called focused re-etching. It is key to building a sound self-disciplined program.
My basic, daily self-discipline Pod Rooms are very well designed with what is needed for my high level health & performance. My subconscious mind often shows me new areas, as well as how to make things easier & better. This then connects to other areas in my life. The Pods are mentoring my other goals, building them into Automatic Pods.
It you have particular addictions, it is important to add Pod Rooms for these, for example for not smoking or not drinking. I happen to have a sugar free Pod Room. I may not put a check in it every day, but my subconscious mind knows that it is there and therefore motivates me in the right direction.
My students and patients find it very useful when I share my own Interactive Self-Hypnotic experiences with them, so I would like to invite you inside some of my personal Pods. It might help you to know that I'm no different from anyone else. I must actively work to stay focused on what's important to my health for everything hinges on that. If I am physically healthy, my mind will work well & I'll be able to achieve my goals in all areas of my life. If I'm not healthy, then quite simply everything falls apart.
There are only 24 hours in a day. 8 of those I spend sleeping. It is very important for me to have a healthy sleep coupled with healing dream states. I know that if my Pods are properly designed, my sleep quality will be enhanced because all is connected. My Pods reflect my personal needs. Some of yours may be the same as mine while others will be different. The Pod names may be similar, but life inside the Pods will reflect who you are, where you have been, as well as where you want to go. Let me walk you through some of mine and give you their background, as well as their future plans.
I have a tendency towards gaining weight, I'm certainly fond of sugar, as well as some junk foods that I desire when stressed. I have difficulty motivating myself to exercise regularly. I have a tendency to over-work, this being another unhealthy stress-releaser.
My day begins by waking up, recognizing my exercise Pod. Since this isn't a favorite of mine, I have to mentally sit in the chair outside the Pod to center myself. Once centered, I can access the inner motivation imagery that will place me in process. It takes a few weeks for the motivation to etch over the old mind programs, but once this happens it becomes much easier to move from the negative into the positive. Inside the Pod I visualize all aspects of the exercise routine, from enjoying my clothes, my music, the beauty of the early morning, etc. These are examples of simple motivators that will be received immediately, thereby taking care of immediate gratification. Other motivators are health related, as well as how my pants fit. There are negative motivators inside the Pod as well. I only get involved in those when absolutely necessary. I prefer not to motivate myself in negative ways, but sometimes it just has to be that way.
My meal Pods come next & while similar as far as motivators go, they do have their own personalities. In the past, when I was involved in disorderly eating, I had developed some very bad habits. Sometimes they come to visit, especially during high stress. The chairs outside these Pods are utilized quite frequently. This is where I let go of those old habit fragments, such as wanting fast food instead of eating my planned lunch, etc. I also utilize those chairs when tempted to binge or to purchase binge type foods. Again, the chair becomes the interrupter of the old behavior, allowing me to center and come back to my reality.
I have a Pod for water because I tend to forget to drink it. My old habits were very unhealthy in this regard, including having an ongoing mug of coffee or can of diet soda sitting on my desk. I need eight glasses of water each day, delivered throughout the day. Just having the Pod in place works well for me. My subconscious mind reminds me throughout the day to drink the water. It's rather like having a personal assistant.
I'm no different from any of you reading this book. If I don't have a discipline in place, the winds of life blow me around. That means that I'm not in charge of the direction & so I work the very same four steps you are learning here. I do need Pods for them or I'll forget, getting lost in the demands & pressures that life delivers.
It's not uncommon for my subconscious to wake me up, reminding me to practice interactive awareness or self-hypnosis, only to have me answer "don't be ridiculous. I have too much to do." My subconscious mind does not back off from my emotional child behaviors, instead points me to the chair outside the Pod. Remember, the purpose of setting up the discipline is to engage your own subconscious mind to assist you in reaching your desired goals. Your mind is not your parent, but your assistant.

CRN's 'Day on the Hill' Connects Top Industry Executives With Members of CongressTargeted News Service |
WASHINGTON, June 26 -- The Council for Responsible Nutrition issued the following news release: More than 70 high-level executives representing member companies of the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), the dietary supplement industry's leading trade association, convened at the U.S. Capitol this week to urge Congress to pass the Designer Anabolic Steroid Control Act (DASCA) of 2014. In addition, the delegation expressed its opposition to the Dietary Supplement Labeling Act (DSLA) and urged increased enforcement of existing legal requirements. The meetings with legislators took place during CRN's 11th annual "Day on the Hill," the association's executive legislative fly-in event. According to CRN's Ingrid Lebert, director, government relations, who manages the day, "This was our most successful annual event to date, with the highest number of participants from CRN member companies and Congress." In meetings with close to 60 congressional offices, CRN and its members emphasized the importance of passing DASCA to help protect consumers from illegal anabolic steroid products masquerading as dietary supplements. By making it easier for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to target new anabolic steroids as they enter the market, DASCA serves to protect the reputation of those responsible dietary supplement companies that provide consumers with legitimate, high-quality and beneficial supplements, including those used for sports nutrition and performance. Conversely, industry leaders urged lawmakers to oppose DSLA, which would impose new burdens on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Institute of Medicine and industry, noting it is duplicative of current laws and self-regulatory programs and would place unfair requirements on law-abiding, responsible companies while doing nothing to protect consumers from unscrupulous actors who already ignore the law. Participants reminded Congress that a regulatory framework is already in place that addresses DSLA provisions, that the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) works, and that dietary supplements are safe, regulated and beneficial. In addition, CRN shared information from the Frost & Sullivan economic report, "Smart Prevention - Health Care Cost Savings Resulting from the Targeted Use of Dietary Supplements," (http://www.crnusa.org/CRNfoundation/HCCS/) which demonstrates that supplementation at preventive intake levels in high-risk populations can reduce the number of disease-associated medical events, representing the potential for hundreds of millions--and in some cases, billions--of dollars of savings. The report was funded through a grant from the CRN Foundation. "CRN and its members are highly respected on Capitol Hill by legislators and their staff as responsible players in the dietary supplement industry--the good guys," said Mike Greene, vice president, government relations, CRN. "CRN's 'Day on the Hill' was a success in bringing senior level faces from trustworthy companies to sit down with their representatives and staff in Washington and reinforce the mainstream status of dietary supplements in our country. CRN and our member companies are committed to working with legislators and regulators to ensure the more than 150 million Americans who take dietary supplements continue to have access to safe and beneficial products." CRN's members participating in the "Day on the Hill" enjoyed the recognition developed not only by their own companies' upstanding practices, but also from CRN's efforts. CRN President and CEO Steve Mister testified before Congress (http://www.crnusa.org/CRNPR14-Testimony-Weight-loss-061714.html) the week before during a Senate hearing on "Protecting Consumers from False and Deceptive Advertising of Weight-Loss Products," and described "a tale of two industries," in reference to the responsible companies following the laws and the outliers that aren't. In addition, this week CRN ran full-page ads (http://www.crnusa.org/DOH-14/files/CRN-HillPubsAdSample.pdf) in CQ Roll Call, National Journal Daily, and Politico, emphasizing the role of vitamins in healthy people's lives. "CRN's 'Day on the Hill' comes at a critical time for the dietary supplement industry," said Kate Houston, director of government relations for Cargill, and chair of CRN's Government Relations Committee. "After meeting with dozens of key lawmakers, there's no doubt that CRN members are making an impact." TNS 24KuanRap-140627 30FurigayJof-4780502 30FurigayJof

|Toboggan Beach, Alaska oil/canvas 40x30in
shoemaker series in a group show called Knowledge Is Power at the URI Extension campus downtown Providence. Thursday, Oct. 18 *!Gallery Night!* is the opening, from 5 to 9.
Which is probably it for the exhibits for awhile, but I'm glad to have gotten some studio time in recently, especially as it is still warm enough to work without preheating my studio for two hours. The insulation is going up little by little though, and I hope to make workable this winter, as I need to paint like a maniac for about a year for two planned exhibits in the fall of 2013.
I'm also going to heat up the griddle for experimentation in encaustic. I've long been interested in learning the archaic hot wax technique so finally broke down and took a class at RISD. My first piece was, how shall I say it, a total mess, failure—a piece so ugly that passing bees made a wide berth around it and denied any part in supplying the beeswax for the monstrosity. So I have high hopes for the medium. Especially as I am thinking of using it in a multimedia painting with my disappointing piece from a previous glass casting class. I rise to the challenge!
Voices of the Wilderness residency is accepted. Just try keeping me out of Alaska!

With news of a top female Yahoo! executive being sued for alleged sexual harassment and coercion on Friday going viral almost instantly, many are shocked at such a high-profile case involving a woman. The case became even more novel when it was discovered that the subordinate employee who filed the suit against both the executive and Yahoo! was also female. This latest sexual harassment case is garnering extra attention in the media because of the perceived rarity of suits against females, but many do not realize just how common these cases are.
Software Engineer Nan Shi filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against her supervisor, Yahoo! executive Maria Zhang on July 11 after what she said was months of threats, coercion, forced labor and eventual wrongful termination. Shi is naming Yahoo! in the suit as well because she said when she went to the HR department at Yahoo!, she was placed on paid leave and then terminated. The suit claimed that in addition to sexual coercion, Zhang forced Shi to move into Yahoo! corporate housing and then insisted on living with her. She also allegedly forced Shi to work long hours on weekends and evenings, threatening the engineer with termination, loss of stock options, and a black mark on her future career if she did not comply. Shi says when she did finally begin protesting and refused to continue the relationship, Zhang treated her unfairly at work, giving her poor reviews and promoting other less senior engineers ahead of her. Yahoo! is vehemently denying any wrongdoing on the part of Maria Zhang or in terminating Nan Shi's employment.
It's unclear whether Shi went to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) after her termination before filing her civil suit. Employees who feel that they have been terminated wrongfully due to a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 may file a claim with the EEOC before pursuing damages. The EEOC acts as a mediator makes recommendations to both the employer and the employee about whether the law has been violated. It can also be asked to provide testimony on its findings on a case in civil or criminal court.
The EEOC considers sexual harassment a violation of Title VII because it is considered a physical or psychological manifestation of gender discrimination which affects the victim's employment adversely in some way. The EEOC says in no uncertain terms that sexual harassment can come from a man or a woman, and it does not necessarily have to be between people of the opposite sex. The prevalent thought has been that sexual harassment is mostly perpetrated by men towards women, but just how common suits against females are seems to be open to debate. Even less common is the idea of same-sex harassment, and what can be involved in these types of cases.
The recent case of Nan Shi and Maria Zhang is being seen as part of a rash of sexual harassment suits in the tech industry, a culture which is seen to be dominated by men. This fact is in itself a misnomer, as women currently hold top positions at 33 tech companies, with nine women sitting on the board of directors. Three women are on the board at Google alone. Likewise, the case of Shi v. Zhang and Yahoo! is seen as novel because the harasser is a woman, and even more special because the case involves two women. One publication which reported on the story stated that this case of harassment between two women was the first of its kind.
In actual fact, sexual harassment cases in which women are implicated seem to happen more frequently than many people would expect. In 2013, the percentage of sexual harassment cases filed by men in the U.S. was about 17.6, up about 1.5 percent from 2011. That's about 1250 cases in one year. Of course, not all of those cases were necessarily filed against women, as at least seven cases in the past year have been same-sex cases, though the EEOC is not officially tracking them in their statistics. Some of these cases were just as high-profile as Nan Shi's case, with companies like Prada, Armani, Cheesecake Factory and the USA Network implicated in the suits.
Sexual harassment, especially same-sex, is not always about coercion to or referencing of sex acts. Many of the same-sex cases on record were filed by a male subordinate for another male for making homosexual or "unmanly" references, such as in the 2011 case of Boh Bros. Construction. Similarly, many cases filed by male subordinates against female supervisors have been for making homosexual slurs or belittling an employee by making diminutive sexual comments.
Sexual harassment in the workplace is far from a black-and-white issue. As broader terms are defined for what constitutes this type of sex discrimination, it is not surprising that suits which used to seem anomalous are on the rise. It may be surprising to some people how common sexual harassment cases against females actually are, and even more surprising that same-sex cases seem to be increasing as well. The EEOC has had its parameters set up to be all-inclusive and include all genders and types of discrimination in its guidelines since the 80s. The increase in suits formerly thought to be uncommon is thus less about any new guidelines when it comes to this form of discrimination. It appears to be more about different groups of workers looking into their rights and exercising them, no matter who is doing the discriminating.

I have worn these for a while now and I still don't know how good they work.
The first day I wore them, my calves felt tighter or achy in the morning. The next couple of days I didn't feel tightness, but I started getting a pain in my lower back. A few days later, the pain went into the back of my legs. Now the pain I was feeling wasn't a work out stretch in the legs, but leg and lower back aches. I decided to leave them alone for a while.
I went back to them a couple of weeks later, and the same thing happened. I haven't worn them since. I think the heel is too hard. I was at a store where they sold knock-offs and I asked what the feed back was on them. The sales person said they reviews were 50/50. Love em or hate em.
My conclusion is the same. Some people swear by them, I don't. My back and legs hurt and that out weighs how tone my legs would get. I think walking around in comfortable wedge heals will give you better results.
Have you tried the Shape-Ups? Do yo think they work or heard they do?

Mean tweets generally suck. (Pos-vibes for life.) But celebrities reading the barbs that schlubs blurt about them behind the safety of a screen? How did we live before Jimmy Kimmel Live! invented this series? Dunno, but the perfection has somehow been polished to an even brighter sheen with a new spin, "Mean Tweets Live."
Watch as Salma Hayek and Halle Berry deal with breast-deprived creeps, Jeff Bridges gets called "a disturbed hobo" and Benedict Cumberbatch finds himself likened to "a cat's anus." And that's just the beginning.
It's an impressive feat, for these celebs to not only read the grossest critiques possible, but to do it in front of a large crowd rather than a camera backstage. The latest, livest "Celebrities Read Mean Tweets" also features Kristen Bell, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Bette Midler, Liam Neeson, Emily Blunt, Andrew Garfield and Jack Black, among a bunch more.

It's long been used to stimulate growth, but not this kind.
Scientists believe Viagra could be the key to helping underweight babies grow during pregnancy, potentially reducing births of premature babies, still births and long term defects.
The little blue pill which is more commonly associated with making babies than saving them, will be given to pregnant women to see if it can boost blood flow to the womb.
About 10 per cent of babies are born underweight, and severe cases of growth restriction can lead to still births or extremely pre-term deliveries.
Babies who survive very premature deliveries risk complications such as cerebral palsy, blindness and brain damage.
There are no current treatments for women expecting underweight babies.
"It's really frustrating and upsetting to see these women day-to-day, knowing the hardship they face... and be able to offer nothing other than support," obstetrician Charlotte Oyston said.
The international clinical trial, which is the first of its kind and kicks off in New Zealand, will recruit mothers whose babies are most at risk of complications due to their stunted weight gain.
Headed by Gravida: National Centre for Growth and Development, the trial will select more than 120 expectant mothers suffering from severe intrauterine growth restriction in major centres across New Zealand and Australia.
The generic version of Viagra, sildenafil citrate, will be tested against a placebo with scientists hoping to arouse a reaction that will boost the growth of babies.
The drug works by targeting the lining of blood vessels causing the vessels to relax and increase blood flow.
"You'll be familiar with the effect in the male pelvis, where it increases blood flow to a particular part of the body," Gravida director Professor Phil Baker said.
"However, our thinking was that there would be a similar focused effect in the female pelvis."
The trial comes after 15 years of early-stage research during which tests were carried out on pregnant mice.
Scientists were able to significantly increase body weight in baby mice suffering from growth restriction.
The purpose of the trial is to test both the safety and effectiveness of using the erectile dysfunction drug on pregnant women, however scientists believe there will be few side effects.
Clinical trial leader Katie Groom said the medication was already used on pregnant women who suffer from serious hypertension.
Gravida expects to begin recruiting pregnant women in October.
Australian and NZ results should be completed by 2016 with data from other centres, including the UK, Ireland, Holland, Canada and the US, expected in 2018.

"Someone Like Me" as written by Elizabeth Margaret Mcclarnon and Ciaron David Bell....
Don't let your head rule your heart
Don't let your world be torn apart
Don't keep it all to yourself
Just let all your emotions run free
With someone like me
That's the way it should be
Someone like me
I know it's hard when you're feeling down
To lift your feet apart from the ground
We make mistakes
But doesn't everybody
You don't always have to agree
With someone like me
That's the way it should be
Someone like me
We know the story so far
I know what you want and who you are
Let all your emotions run free
You don't always have to agree
With someone like me
But that's the way it should be
Someone like me
Someone like me

WILLIAMSPORT - Making bricks seemed to pose a bit of a challenge for Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Derrick Alexander, whose typical day on the job involves catching footballs and avoiding defensive backs.
Alexander and teammates Michael Jackson and Tony Siragusa tried their best Wednesday as they pounded bread loaf-sized lumps of clay into wooden molds, making a few of the bricks that could end up being used in the construction of the new Ravens stadium in Baltimore.
"I never knew that so much went into making bricks, and how much manual labor was involved," Alexander said at the Cushwa brick plant, where about 1.2 million bricks are being made for the new stadium.

Among the goals of the Strategic Plan are to support diversity and strengthen partnerships with local communities. Humboldt State is doing both by joining several local and regional partners for an initiative called "Our North Coast."
Led by the Humboldt Area Foundation, this 18-month initiative of public talks and intensive workshops—conducted by the UC Berkeley Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society—is aimed at creating a more welcoming and inviting climate for all cultures and backgrounds in Humboldt and Del Norte counties.
Humboldt State is hosting an inaugural event with Haas Institute director and renowned expert in civil rights and civil liberties, john a. powell. His public talk on The Science of Equality: Addressing Racial Anxiety, Implicit Bias & Stereotype Threat will be at 1 p.m., Thursday, May 5 in Goodwin Forum. Other Haas Institute staff will give future "Our North Coast" talks.
The initiative also includes classes for participants from various local organizations. They will explore best practices, tools, and resources. And they will create, test, and implement equitable, inclusive practices and policies.
By participating in "Our North Coast" HSU will be working directly with other leading community organizations to strengthen the wider North Coast community by identifying biases, creating solutions, and beginning to reverse the impact of inequality.

From TimesOnline.co.uk - June 20, 2006
The days are long gone when blowing a brass instrument was a male preserve. Even so, the young trumpeter Alison Balsom remains a singular figure. It's not that she's long and blonde; it's the roar of her talent that makes her stand out, along with her knack for breaking down barriers and making the trumpet so much more than a toot machine.
Olympian agility, a liquid tone, immense subtleties of phrasing: all were abundant in the Spitalfields concert shared with another young British firework, the percussionist Colin Currie. His programme note about Jolivet's Heptade nailed the work's pleasures exactly: as if the avant-garde pioneer Edgard Varèse was relaxing in a jazz club. Changing moods and scenery come easily to Balsom; bolstered by Currie and John Reid's piano, she scorched the earth marvellously with Piazzolla and de Falla, and summoned the blue ghost of Ravel in Henri Tomasi's smoochy Nocturne. Alone, Currie drilled the wood blocks in Louis Andriessen's Woodpecker: a ferocious and exciting performance.
The disappointment was the premiere of Django Bates's Alison in Space, a BBC Radio 3 and Royal Philharmonic Society commission, with Bates in place at the keyboards. Easy enough to suggest an interplanetary journey with arpeggiated whooshes and spectral tintinnabulation. But to marshal a satisfying 15-minute composition, the sounds needed stronger structural support.
There were no vacant thoughts from the Royal Academy of Music student composers heard in the earlier RAM Manson Ensemble concert with Peter Maxwell Davies. These world premieres filled fewer minutes and clung tightly to their composition gambits, all involving processes of transformation. Jordan Hunt's Morceaux Trouvés and Elspeth Brooke's Spillage easily held the attention; Maxim Bendall's With flesh, and blood, and small change fell only a little behind.
Weaving in and out were PMD's pungent Instrumental Motets of the 1970s, reworkings of 16th-century Scottish pieces: a brilliant composition masterclass. All received gutsy performances from the RAM students; this was a concert full of hope.

According to Mayo Clinic, Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease that causes the thyroid to overproduce and over-secrete thyroid hormones. This results in hyperthyroidism and can cause a wide variety of symptoms to occur.
According to Mayo Clinic, Graves' disease can cause anxiety, irritability, tremors, heat sensitivity, weight loss, extreme hunger, frequent bowel movements, bulging eyes, thick skin on the tops of the feet and rapid heartbeat. Not everyone who develops Graves' disease experiences all of these symptoms, but many people experience weight loss due to the overproduction of thyroid hormone. The disease must be treated with medications and does not resolve on its own since it is mediated by the immune system, states Mayo Clinic.
