As women, I think we are all driven to be creative in some way. The way in which our creativity takes shape is what sets us apart from "everybody else." The way doesn't matter. What matters is the expression that comes from the heart.
I was thinking about this the other night as I stirred (and stirred, and stirred) butterscotch pudding. I'd never made butterscotch pudding and even now I'm not sure what possessed me to search the myriad of recipes that came up when I searched "butterscotch pudding recipe" and then spend the 40 minutes it took to make said butterscotch pudding.
That no one in my family wanted. But I'm not bitter.
Anyway, this is not about butterscotch pudding, much as some of you may love butterscotch pudding. I mean my family doesn't but I couldn't know that until I'd made it. And wasted a good 40 minutes of my life. Again, not bitter.
Ahem. Moving on.
This is about the pride I felt when I finished the pudding (I had no idea at this point that ungrateful children were going to turn their nose up at it) and put it all in a dish and stood back and thought, "That is butterscotch pudding. I took random ingredients off a shelf and I stirred (and stirred, and stirred) them together, and voila! I made butterscotch pudding. There was nothing and now there is something."
And then my thoughts went from there, as thoughts are prone to do. (At least mine are. Tell me I'm not alone in this.) I started thinking of all the "there was nothing, now there is something" activities we women enjoy.
Crafting... there was just some strips of cloth and a wire hanger and now there's a wreath.
Writing... there was a blank page and a blinking cursor. Now there is a book. Or a blog post. Or a journal. Or a poem.
Motherhood... there was just a womb and a wish and now there is a whole, live person.
Painting... there was just a vast white canvas and now there is an image captured.
Photography... there was just a camera and some kids and now there are memories preserved forever.
Decorating... there was just a plain, cold room and now there is a warm, welcoming space that perfectly reflects the personality and priorities of the people who live there.
Knitting... there was just some yarn and needles and now there is a blanket, or a sweater, or a coffee cup cozy. (That was for my mom.)
Music... there was just an instrument and some sheet music and now there are songs that strangers know by heart.
Fashion... there was just some fabric used to cover up people so they don't walk around naked, now there's a vast, endless stream of colors and styles to reflect preference and personalities.
... You get the idea. The point isn't how you express your creativity. The point is that I know there's something that gets your blood pumping harder. It's the place your mind goes when there's nothing else demanding your brain waves. It's wired deep down inside you and-- even if you ignore it-- it won't go away.
May I just challenge you not to ignore it? To take one little step towards it today? To not be afraid of it or ashamed of it or apologize for it? To live the passionate, creative life you know you're meant for. Yes, still be a mom and a wife and a worker bee, but carve out time for creativity somehow, somewhere in the rush of your days. You'll be a happier, more satisfied woman when you do. Because we were wired to create. And to live a life that denies that is only half living. Test me and see if I'm right.

pe this, so you might think I'm a fool for doing all this work in the first place. If my back isn't better, I'm not climbing better, and I can't even oil myself up and pose anyone down then why, pray tell, am I bothering to train at all?It's a fair question and I have a very reasonable answer; it's my job. I need to experiment if just to get a better idea about what works and doesn't. That way when we film a program to sell we have a better understanding of why it works the way it does. Theory is great and all, but when it comes to training programs practicality is all that matters. We run our prospective programs through test groups and use those who succeed to market our products. But before we test a product on the masses we test it on me, and I use my experience to decide if it's ready to test on a larger audience or if it needs to change. But that isn't the real answer. I trained like this when it wasn't my job . It's my passion, and has been so since I was a little kid. I like to see how training affects the body and I'm always looking for the next great secret. And even though some of my experimental training programs have worked and others have not it's pretty safe to say that training as an overall lifestyle works pretty well. As I approach 50 I can look back and say that I've put my body through the wringer and it still works better than most. I've had a countless number of minor injuries but I've avoided major injury and never had a surgery. And while pushing my limits has resulted in overtraining, minor breakdown, mistiming a peak and countless other setbacks my body's ability to perform, according to the Jack LaLanne age test , still pegs me at 29, the peak age for a human. Countless hours are frittered away discussing training theory; what works, what doesn't; is Insanity better than P90X?, Crossfit better than HIIT?, Mentzer's "Heavy Duty" or Arnold's "Encyclopedia"?, yadda, yadda

As the refugee crisis in Europe stumbles into its second winter, mothers have a particularly difficult task ahead of them
ATHENS, Greece - In 2015, over one million refugees from war torn countries including Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan arrived on Europe's doorstep after having crossed the Mediterranean and Aegean seas in overcrowded, flimsy boats and dinghies.
Most of those who landed on Greek shores throughout 2015 and the early months of 2016 moved onwards into central Europe within weeks of their arrival. Some 50,000, however, found themselves unexpectedly stranded in Greece after the EU struck a deal with Turkey in March 2016. The border with Macedonia - the most popular land route to central Europe - was slammed shut soon thereafter.
Awa Bayo, 25, from Serrekonda, Gambia, and her 16-month-old daughter, Maria, have now been stranded in Athens for over six months (MEE/Fahrinisa Oswald)
Despite the deteriorating conditions in camps across Greece, and the increasingly poor treatment of refugees throughout Europe, refugees continue to trickle in through the Greek islands on a near-daily basis. With the Macedonian border closed, Greece is struggling under the weight of increasingly desperate refugees and migrants.
Munira Shahkar, 20, from Afghanistan, is currently staying in a camp in Oinofyta, a small town on the outskirts of Athens (MEE/Fahrinisa Oswald)
"Earlier this year, there were several changes in and around Greece on asylum and migration routes, including the closure in the north and stricter border control from Turkey," explains Roland Schoenbauer, spokesman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
This, in turn, led "to some 50,000 refugees and migrants being stranded in Greece - a country that has not been prepared for accommodating such a large number of men, women and children and whose asylum authorities have been overwhelmed with issues like registration and processing asylum claims," Schoenbauer continued.
Approximately two-thirds of the stranded refugees languishing in camps and shelters across Greece are women and children - the most vulnerable, according to Schoenbauer.
"After my son was born, I'm very happy here. I'm busy with my son and I forgot to be a refugee," says Munira Shahkar (MEE/Fahrinisa Oswald)
They are women like Aria Taheri, a 23-year-old Afghan who gave birth to her first child in a camp in Oinofyta, a small town on the outskirts of Athens. Taheri left Afghanistan in early 2016 with her husband and his family after they had been targeted by the Taliban for her husband's work as an independent contractor with the US military. She was three months pregnant.
"I was sure I was going to die. I had my son in my stomach and I thought we would both die there," Aria Taheri says of her journey by boat from Turkey to Greek shores (MEE/Fahrinisa Oswald)
Like most of the incoming refugees in early 2016, Taheri and her family intended to keep moving until they reached central Europe, where she hoped to give birth. But, with the ratification of the EU-Turkey deal on 20 March and the closure of the border with Macedonia soon thereafter, Taheri and her family were stranded in Athens mid-journey. They reached their destination on 4 April 2016.
Taheri's story is much like thousands of others, mostly Afghan refugees now languishing in camps across the country.
Motherhood as a refugee is a unique struggle with which a large percentage of the current refugee population in Greece is burdened. Protecting their children from physical harm is only one small aspect of the incredible responsibility refugee mothers face.
Maryam Sheikh Mohammed, 27, from Hasakah, Syria, made the journey to Greece by boat with her husband and four children, the youngest of whom was only seven months old (MEE/Fahrinisa Oswald)
"It's a big responsibility for me," said Maryam Sheikh Mohammed, a Kurdish mother of four from Syria who made the journey earlier this year with her husband and four small children. "I worry about their health. I don't worry about mine, I only care about my children," she continued while she struggled to feed them dinner one night at the City Plaza Hotel in central Athens.
"All of us were afraid. We don't know how to swim and we came without life vests, because we stayed for two months in Turkey and we spent all our money. I was scared until the Greek police came and picked us up" (MEE/Fahrinisa Oswald)
The abandoned hotel was occupied by leftists nearly one year ago and has since been home to 400 refugees from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
But Afghans are not the only ones whose lives are in limbo. With the overburdened registration and asylum processing system in Greece, many Syrians, Kurds and Iraqis also find themselves waiting indefinitely, with little information to help them cope with their situation.
Dania Kasem, a Syrian refugee from Damascus, arrived in Greece in early 2016 with her three-year-old son, Amar. She immediately began the family reunification process, but was told it could take upwards of one year to be reunited with her husband in Germany.
Dania Kasem, 25, and her three-year-old son Amar, from Damascus, Syria, were on their way to join her husband in Germany when they got stuck in Athens (MEE/Fahrinisa Oswald)
For eight months she waited, without a single update, for her case to be processed. "My son understands the situation, and he's always asking when he will go meet his father; when he will get on a plane and go to Germany," Kasem explained over sweet Syrian coffee in her room at the City Plaza Hotel.
In early December, nearly one year after starting the family reunification process, Kasem received word that she and her son would be able to join her husband in the new year. Kasem is Syrian and therefore considered one of the lucky ones, as Afghan asylum seekers are increasingly being rejected and sent back to their homeland.
Giving birth in a camp
The psychological aspect of caring for children and protecting them from harm - both physical and emotional - is an aspect of the refugee experience that is only now coming to light as more and more mothers remain stranded for months on end in deteriorating camps, and more women are giving birth, sometimes for the first time, in these camps.
Awa, like many other asylum seekers, are no longer qualified as refugees because they are not from Syria (MEE/Fahrinisa Oswald)
In a statement from the UNHCR regarding psychological support for refugees, particularly in regards to the benefits it gives mothers and their children, Scoenbauer stated that conditions in many camps and shelters across the country are vastly improving, so that now "beneficiaries are also provided with psychosocial, legal and interpretation services".
But for some refugee mothers, it is too little too late. For Aziza Alizade, a slight 21-year-old woman from the Ghazni province in Afghanistan, being stuck in a makeshift camp at the Piraeus Port in central Athens for several months over the brutal Greek summer led to a miscarriage.
Aziza Alizada, 21, fled Afghanistan after the Taliban killed three of her husband's friends (MEE/ Fahrinisa Oswald)
"It's so painful for me," she said as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I escaped from the Talib[an] in Afghanistan and we came here to have a safe and comfortable life, but we came here and we lost our baby."
Aziza Alizada fell ill to food poisoning at a makeshift camp in Piraeus and lost her baby after vomiting for hours (MEE/Fahrinisa Oswald)

FREEPORT — Nomination papers for seats on the Town Council, Water District Board of Trustees and Sewer District Board of Trustees were due Wednesday, Sept. 9, but by Tuesday afternoon, not all papers had been returned.
There are three council seats up for election in November. Incumbent District 4 Councilor Jim Cassida was the only person to pick up and return papers for his seat, and incumbent Councilor Charlotte Bishop was the only candidate to return papers for her at-large seat.
District 1 Councilor Genie Beaulieu announced her plan to resign on Aug. 11 with one year of her three-year term remaining. She said she and her husband decided it was time to travel and visit family and friends. She served 11 years on the council and will resign effective Nov. 10.
According to Town Clerk Beverly Curry, only Sara Gideon of Bow Street took out papers to serve the one year remaining in Beaulieu's three-year term. She had not returned them as of Tuesday.
In addition to the council race, there are three seats on the Sewer District Board of Trustees and one seat on the Water District Board of Trustees to fill in November. All of those are for three-year terms.
The three seats available on the Sewer District Board of Trustees are held by Leon Arsenault, Don Bail and Brenden Alterio. Four people took out papers for those seats, but only two turned them back in, and none were incumbents.
Sewer District Chairman Arsenault said he would not run for re-election and that his "two or three terms were enough."
"I have enjoyed my time on the board very much," he said on Tuesday. "But I am nearing 90 and think it is time to give some others a chance."
According to Arsenault, board member Alterio moved out of Freeport and cannot seek re-election.
"There are a few of us on the board who are getting older, it is time for new members," he said.
Residents who have shown interest in the Sewer District board are Fire Chief Darrell Fournier of Fournier Drive, and Timothy Whitacre of Sandy Beach Drive. According to Curry, they returned their papers while two others who took out papers have not.
Leland Arris III of Glenview Road, son of current board member Leland Arris Jr., and Arthur Colvin of Grant Road, took out papers, but had not returned them by Tuesday.
Fournier said he was interested in running for a seat on the Sewer District board because he is concerned about water quality within the bay. He also said he would like to offer his experience as a fire chief and could help with grant writing. Because the Sewer District board is a quasi-municipal board, Fournier said he can participate in that and remain the fire chief.
"I hope there is a contest for these seats," Fournier said. "I hope more people return papers."
For the Water District position, incumbent Maryann Schwanda picked up, but had not returned, her nomination papers as of Tuesday.
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3.

A maintenance man from Underwood who went on a '15 minute joyride' in his boss's Mercedes while drunk and carrying drugs was spared prison.
Nottingham Magistrates Court heard that Tony Mugford, 23, of Derby Road, had been out drinking with his boss, Shaun Bright, on Saturday, November 28.
But after Mr Bright called it a night and went to bed, Mugford, who has not passed his driving test, decided to visit his ex-girlfriend.
Neil O'Sullivan, defending, said: "As he had no means of transport he borrowed Mr Bright's car. Mr Bright was woken by his son at 11.20pm who told him that his car was being stolen from the drive."
They rang the police and 15 minutes later Mugford was pulled over by police on Church Lane, in Brinsley.
When breathalysed Mugford was found to have 44 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35 micrograms of alcohol.
Police also found a £20 bag of cannabis on him.
Mugford admitted drink driving, taking without the owner's consent, driving without insurance or a license, and possession of cannabis.
On Tuesday Deputy District Judge French said: "All of these issues made it more likely that you would have an accident. You went on a 15 minute joyride.
"You have exploited the good nature of your employer."
The court heard that Mugford's employer, who runs a property development company, would continue to keep him on as a maintenance man.
He was given a community order and told to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work and attend a drug rehabilitation course for three months.
He was disqualified from driving for 18 months and must pay a £60 surcharge, a criminal courts charge of £180 and £85 in costs.

AnonD-78985, 24 Jan 2013Yes but 808 was beaten in a lot of area also.Remember Galaxy Camera is a fully fledged point and shoot camera...where 808 is a smartphone equipped with a brilliant camera technology...Galaxy Camera beats the 808 any some area I agree because of its HW difference, like 20+x zoom! 808 and N8 already hit as the best companion for pro photographers. Whats the innovation in Galaxy Camera? putting camera in to mobile or mobile into camera, either way 808 has done both. even with big sensor 808 will rest in your hand easily. just imagine you are calling some one using Galaxy camera, like holding a silver brick!!!
Guys, don't fight between Nokia or so call windows OS and android. Apple is laughing right now. We should suppore other than apple iOS :p
I wonder how they're going to make a phone with a 38MP sensor compact. The Lumia 920 already had enough criticism about its size and weight, and that has a much smaller 8MP OIS sensor. Perhaps PureView Phase 3 is about making cameras ultra small without sacrificing performance?
AnonD-82273, 24 Jan 2013Then I guess you should have read the page correctly before jumping with your DSLR knowledge..... moreYes but 808 was beaten in a lot of area also.
AnonD-80584, 23 Jan 2013you know wats so great about news like this? it attracts all the android fan boys that get all... moreVery well said, hats off to you. :)
I am an android user and im lovin it. why so much hate for Nokia anyway? so glad they have this kind of phone for camera freaks
Now this is what we call innovation...other manufacturers should stop using this word. Especially Samsung and Apple. Both of them just upgrading their hardware just like we do for our pc's every 3 year. only thing I want is to optimize the size of the phone...bigger sensor will have bigger size as well. Cant blame Nokia on that...
AnonD-85611, 23 Jan 2013I'm a Nokia fan but WTF are you saying?????? First, DSLR stands for Digital Single Lens Refle... moreThen I guess you should have read the page correctly before jumping with your DSLR knowledge...808 PureView uses a 8 MP but it has got a bigger lens of 41 MP. This new WP will be using the same thing 8MP Hardware and bigger sensor to oversampling. You should read the review of 808 Pureview in www.dpreview.com (website for photographers like gsmarena for us). 808 PV comparison is done between best Point & Shoot cameras and starting level DSLRs...for the DROID fans read the review of 808 PV vs Samsung Galaxy Camera. being a full PoS camera it wouldn't beat the 808 PV in most of the areas......
Carol, 24 Jan 2013Even though i should just keep it for me, cause you become more then hopeless. I just give you... moreLol you got me. I can admit that i have made a mistakes by thinking that dslr and point and shoot cam are the same. What I was trying to say is that am waiting for a god point and shoot + smartphone combo. The high end point and shoot cam can be better than some dslr.the Polaroid iM1836 is a good exemple of that.
AnonD-70562, 24 Jan 2013well said buddy. XD.. Poor android fan., leeching on nokias forum..duh.!only droid-fan will bash other phone , they think their phone is the best in the world but nothing~!
Boom! Sorry SGS4, you ain't taking no King title this year. Pureview EOS FTW!
This year, Nokia + WP8 = killing spree. No chance to fight back, Android boots. Fire in the hole!!!
....hmm, people nowadays:
> nokia with pureview (41mp + ios) - total crap
> Crapple with purpleview - total innovation
....f*** logic...Nokia is BACK!!!...live with it!!!

We're looking for a nice quiet place where we can stay and eat lunch while we wait for my aunt to finish work. Session Road's kind of crowded and "too busy" already so I tried looking for other places other the ones near our hotel in CJH. I was so happy when I found this cafe in looloo. Yayy!!
PATCH CAFE is an all-day breakfast slash source of comfort food kind of place. Think of Banapple + Mary Grace combined but in Baguio and w fresher greens and more affordable dishes. This cafe is located inside Bloomfields Hotel. I think this is the hotel restaurant. It wouldn't be hard finding this because it's super near SM Baguio. But if you have a car, parking's kinda hard. So cab it is! Haha!
We ordered the following - Breakfast Pizza (280), Seafood Marinara Pasta (180), and Garden Patch Salad (130).
My lola enjoyed her pasta, al dente noodles, generous amount of seafood added, and w the right level of sourness and spiciness. 🏼
Salad was refreshing! Made w Fresh greens + Cucumber + Peanut brittle + Fresh Strawberries + Strawberry dressing = Baguio Salad. It's sooo good and sobrang mura!
I love salad and greens (because healthy and fiber ) but breakfast food is love and egg is lyf, the breakfast pizza was my favorite. Imagine a huge thin crispy pizza topped w cheese and all the breakfast goodness you can ever ask for - ham, bacon, tapa, longanisa bits, and FRIED QUAIL EGG!!! YAS YAS YASS!!!!!!!!!!!
For dessert, we tried the NEW YORK CHEESECAKE and chocolate cake aka the DEVIL'S FOOD. Both were sinfully good and yummy and not overly sweet. 🏼

Probably my best dining experience in Baguio so far. I loved the breakfast pizza as well as my iced coffee! Their chocolate praline made for a good ending to my meal. My sister said their matcha drink was good and affordable. Mura din mga cupcakes nila.
I loved the interiors, mejo artsy and elegant but at the same time giving a casual vibe.

Stayed in Bloomfield Hotel for 2 nights. And we really enjoy it. The ambiance of the hotel very artsy, the friendly staffs, clean rooms and most especially the good quality of the foods in Patch Cafe.
The breakfast is free they call it Complimentary Breakfasts, it includes in our stay in Bloomfield Hotel. I try the American Breakfast a choice of Ham, Bacon or Sausage with Bread and Strawberry and Butter. For the drinks, a choice of Hot Coffee, Hot Tea and Juice. We also try the Green Soup and Green Patch, we really love their food, so yummy. Affordable price and a must try. Will surely go back here when we visit Baguio again.

Balanced plate indeed. The spare rib's sweet and chili flavor complements the cheesy garlicky baked potato and the tangy salad cleanse up the palette after enjoying the juicy ribs and soft starch. Simple but superb. Loved the dish! 🏻

Went to this cafe for lunch, around Christmas time last year. I remember ordering a bruschetta and hazelnut latte. Both of which exceeded my expectations. I don't like to assume a place's food or service is of good quality because of the way the interior is decorated...but this place has all those things and more. Would gladly travel back to Baguio for this place again.

Thanks Jacy L for adding this venue to the |looloo data base!
Anyway, a late review is better than no review! I wanted to do justice to Patch Cafe's Daing na Bangus. This breakfast came free with our stay in Bloomfield hotel last Dec 27. I'm not a fan of free breakfast meals and consider them as just fuel for the day. This bangus is by far probably my only exception. Perfect salty taste and absolutely no hidden fish bones. Very well cooked, crispy outside, soft inside. In fact, I tried to ask for an extra serving but to no avail.
I wish all fixed complementary breakfasts were like this!

Read the Words
August 22, 2008 Leave a comment
by Tim Cushman
Read the Words is a fabulous, FREE web service for converting text into speech. Instantly, many teachers will think of using this site for their special education and non-English speaking students. I would argue that the applications for this web tool is far wider.
Think about the flow of the normal school day. Hectic? How about making more of your teacher notes or other handouts available as an audio recording instead of paper handouts (be mindful of copyright)? Creating a digital reading and distributing the file to your class takes less time then running photocopies and saves precious school resources.
Read the Words has potential for some unique student projects. For example, you might want to translate student writing pieces to an "audiobook" that could be posted on your classroom web site with different voices for each character. The audio file could add some extra flair to traditional projects like Interactive PowerPoint to relay information or give directions.
Read the Words is a singularly-purposed app that does its job well. You can copy and paste text to the site or upload a PDF, Word doc, HTML file, RSS feed, or website address. Read the Words will convert the text into an MP3 file that can be loaded on your iPod or MP3 player as well as giving you a URL for embedding the audio file into a website. Don't worry about losing your recordings. All conversions will be saved for your exclusive use on the Read the Words website under the "My Recordings" tab.
It only gets better. Read the Words will read in English, Spanish, and French in fifteen different voice and at a user-controlled speed. Worried about conversion speed? Read the Words will convert an hour's worth of audio in literally 60 seconds. Trouble with mispronounced text in your recording? Type the problem words phonetically.
Text to speech technology has a mixed history – mostly disappointing. I admit that the voice quality from Read the Words aspires to be at the level of KITT from the old Knight Rider series, but that is not exactly an equitable comparison since KITT had an actor doing voice-over AND David Hasselhoff riding in the driver's seat. Try it out for yourself. I used Read the Words to convert this post to speech. However, I could not get the code to work properly within WordPress (and yes, I did follow the directions). Read the Words was very fast in converting this post to MP3, with a processing time of exactly four seconds.
What are your ideas and experiences with Read the Words?

The Department of Mental Health says "Thank you"
A "thank you" for the Department of Corrections and the Southern State Correctional Facility
To the Staff from Commissioner Pallito
Today, Commissioner Moulton surprised us with a presentation of a plaque thanking the Department of Corrections and the Southern State Correctional Facility for helping their clients after Tropical Storm Irene. Commissioner Moulton also included a letter which she read during the presentation.
"On behalf of the DOC, thank you and your staff for their hard work and for accommodating our fellow AHS Department during their time of need."
Dr. Burroughs-Biron is headed to Springfield tomorrow. I have asked her to present you with the Plaque and letter and I would like you to display the plaque somewhere in your entry way.
Thank you again for your hard work,
A Letter from the Department of Mental Health
Dear Commissioner Pallito:
On behalf of the Department of Mental Health, I would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to you and your staff for the sacrifice made by the Department of Corrections following Tropical Storm Irene's destruction of the Vermont State Hospital. This resulted in the displacement of our patients, and Corrections stepped forward to clear a unit for a small contingent of patients who could not access hospital beds. While this affected the Southern State Correctional facility, we recognize the significant impact closure of this unit had throughout your entire system.
We would also like to thank the staff of Southern State Correctional facility for assisting us with special accommodations for our staff and patients, while enduring the increased traffic of staff and family members onto the unit. We are very grateful for this extension of assistance during our time of crisis. Thank you!
Sincerely yours,
Mary D. Moulton
Department of Mental Health

My friends ridiculed me so much for even thinking about getting an apple. When i brought it home, they changed their mind, many of them are even now in the market to get apple laptops. It was absolutely amazing; it make my friends $3000+ Dell look like it was from the stone age. I could not be more impressed with the operating system or just the aesthetics of the system on a whole. It is very clean, no nonsense stickers odd curves. I was looking to get the 16" VAIO until I went to downtown santa monica one day and happened to stumble into the Mac Store. I saw the 17" powerbook and just had to have it. Im actually now looking to sell my PC since it just doesnt compare. (Im anyone is looking its a Athlon 1900+ with ti4600, 512 DDR, 19" CRT, etc etc etc) lol. Just wanted to recommend to ANYONE looking for a laptop to look into the powerbook line. Im EXTREMELY impressed. Thanks Apple..

Interview an Athlete
Tennis Player
I have chosen to interview a tennis player, "John". Although not a professional tennis player he competes with family members every other weekend. In addition to eating a well balanced diet and maintaining a healthy weight John keeps himself hydrated by drinking sports drinks, which he believes, gives him an edge. His sports drink of choice is Gatorage Tiger because it has L-Theanine and advanced electrolytes.
L. Theanine is an amino acid, which is found in tea, it claims to help support and maintain mental acuity and focus. Research shows that L-Theanine, directly stimulates the production of alpha brain waves, creating a state of deep relaxation and mental alertness similar to what is achieved through meditation. Second, L-theanine is involved in the formation of the inhibitory neurotransmitter, producing the key relaxation effect resulting in improved memory. There are currently no known side affects.
Gatorade Tiger has 25% more electrolytes than any other sports drink. The hydration requirement, which determined the amount of electrolytes, was done by measuring the sweat rate, sweat electrolyte concentration, fluid and electrolyte balance, energy needs and strategy for hydration. Research has shown that electrolytes are lost during sweating and must be replaced in order to avoid dehydration, which may be caused by exercise.
My interview with the tennis player indicates to me that even a casual athlete is concerned about supplementation and is seeking an edge over the competition, which supplements promise to deliver. Although some research on L-Theanine shows that it cause relaxation and alertness there is no research to support that it helps an athlete with their game. I suggested to John, the tennis player that as long as he stays hydrated during the game eats well-balanced meals and stays away from supplements that should be enough of an edge on his opponent to help him win the game.

This small cut stone hotel is on a height overlooking Kileany Bay and Kilronan harbour; just 3 minutes walk from the main centre, Ostan Arann is the only hotel on the biggest of the Aran Islands and is becoming very popular with both visitors and locals.
A young, very professional, team - brothers, Keith and Niall Madigan and Chef Damien Lyons, all from Ennis - took over this warmly comfortable hotel in 2015 and have made Inis Mor their home. They are fully open from April to October and available throughout the winter for special events, including The Ted Fest (last week in February).
All the island's big events are held at the hotel, from celebrations to funeral meals, and their wedding pack would tempt anyone to have the big day here (horse and trap to and from the church, reception in the most beautiful marquee overlooking the sea and a complimentary 1st anniversary dinner).
With an open fire in the stone fireplace and traditional Irish music at weekends, their An Síbín Pub is the most popular spot in the hotel. This two-tiered room is also an excellent dining destination, serving wholesome food in an atmospheric setting - often with traditional music played on the ground floor and bar food served on the higher level.
The restaurant, Madigans @ The Hotel, has a view of the bay from 3 long small windows at one end; it is mainly used for groups and there's a communal balcony running along the front of the hotel, decked with sea hardy shrubs.
Five of the 22 very comfortable and en-suite bedrooms have good views of the bay and harbour (as do nine more recently added high-spec chalet rooms), and all are really cosy, which would tempt you to holiday on the island even of season. There is a lift, power showers, seven TV channels, direct dial telephone, iron, hair-dryer, and tea/coffee stand - all contributing to a modern island - and the hotel serves a very good breakfast too.

BHS Thespians to Present Free Production of One-Act, War-Time Play, "Bury the Dead"
By Julie Perine on February 08, 2018 via Connect-Bridgeport.com
Bridgeport High School Thespian Troupe #7549 takes its one-act play, "Bury the Dead," to the Regional Thespian Festival, Saturday at Fairmont Senior High School.
But before that, the student actors are bringing the production to the public. At 7 p.m. Friday, the 45-minute show will be performed at the BHS theater with no admission cost. "Bury the Dead" is an ensemble show, meaning that there are no lead roles and that everyone has their moment to shine on stage, said Director Trina Byard. Thirty-two cast and crew members are involved.
"Bury the Dead" is a thought-provoking piece written by Irwin Shaw in the 1930s, said BHS Theater Teacher/Thespian Faculty Sponsor Jared St. Martin Brown.
"It takes place in a hypothetical war and, of course, the playwright is really familiar with the Great War – now called World War I – and he would have also been noticing people rising to power in Europe and he was probably concerned about the threat of war," St. Martin Brown said. "So, this play discusses the human cost of war. What you have is a bunch of people fighting for their lives and rejecting the inevitable death that comes from military conflict."
Though not violent in nature, it is a very heavy piece in that it deals with deep emotions and the value of life, he said. It is recommended for teens and adults.
It's important, St. Martin Brown said, for actors to develop plays of serious nature.
"Every play has a message; even a funny play can have a serious message. But sometimes, we like to do a serious play with a serious message," he said. "It gives students a chance to deal with some acting they wouldn't normally do in a happier play – a chance to exercise those skills to convey a serious subject in a serious way – and it also gives the audience another aspect of theater arts. Theater can deal with serious subjects. It doesn't have to be light entertainment. It can ask big questions."
The show is challenging and its preparation happened to land right in the midst of rehearsals for the all-school production of "BARNUM" - to be performed Feb. 24-25 at BHS.
"About 60 percent of our actors are also in 'BARNUM' and most of the kids in the crew are working on both," Byard said. "But this is for our Thespian Festival competition and we decided to take on the challenge. The kids really enjoy going to Thespian Festival. They were up for the challenge, so we were up for the challenge."
They are handling that challenge in an amazing way, said Byard, adding that it's so important to the Thespians to gain public support.
"They feed off the energy of the audience so that just helps boost their morale for what they will be facing the next day," she said.
For the past three years, the BHS Thespian Troupe #7549 has advanced to the state level and their shows have placed in the top five at states. Two have advanced to national competition, Byard said.
In addition to the one-act play, the troupe will enter some tech projects, including a costume design entry, a short film entry and a script-writing entry.

Stay ahead of developments in federal and state health care law, regulation and transactions with timely, expert news and analysis.
By Sara Hansard
Steve Larsen, director of the federal office in charge of regulating health insurance under the reform law, will step down from his position in mid-July, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services acting Administrator Marilyn Tavenner told agency employees in a June 15 email.
Mike Hash, director of the Office of Health Reform in the Department of Health and Human Services, will be interim director of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO) while a permanent successor is found for Larsen, who is director of CCIIO and deputy administrator of CMS.
Tavenner told agency employees, "Steve and I have worked closely over the past year in our efforts to incorporate the work of CCIIO into CMS. Together we have leveraged CMS' strengths as we took on these new responsibilities and I am proud of our efforts to hold insurance companies accountable to consumers and our work with states and others to build a new insurance marketplace." Larsen's efforts "helped to lay the foundation for our continued success and have put us on a path to make sure that these new marketplaces are available to consumers in every state in 2014," she said.
Larsen will be executive vice president at Optum, a health services and information technology company that is part of UnitedHealth Group Inc., of Minnetonka, Minn., the company confirmed. UnitedHealth Group is the parent company of UnitedHealthcare, the largest health insurer in the United States in terms of policyholders and revenues.
"We are excited to welcome Steve Larsen to Optum," company spokesman Matthew Stearns told BNA in an email. "Steve's extensive, broad-based experience in health care will further enhance the support Optum provides to the health system and consumers in a rapidly evolving environment."
Larsen became director of CCIIO in 2011 when the unit was reorganized and moved into CMS, as HHS implemented the health insurance regulation provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. He had previously been director of the Division of Insurance Oversight in the HHS office that was the predecessor to CCIIO.
Larsen has led CCIIO during the early phase of implementing PPACA, which was signed into law in 2010. During his tenure, CCIIO has issued numerous regulations, including the controversial decision to require entities affiliated with religious organizations, such as religious hospitals and schools, to cover contraceptive services without requiring cost sharing.
The Catholic Health Association June 15 sent a letter to Tavenner objecting to the contraceptive coverage regulation, specifically a March advance notice of proposed rulemaking on preventive services (CMS-9968-ANPRM) under the health reform law (see previous article). CHA asked that CMS "at the very least" expand the definition of a religious employer to make clear that Catholic hospitals and health care organizations are exempt from the contraceptive mandate (see related article).
The Supreme Court is expected to issue its ruling on the constitutionality of PPACA by the end of June.
Prior to joining the Obama administration to implement PPACA, Larsen served in a number of capacities at Amerigroup Corp., a public managed care company serving Medicaid and Medicare beneficiaries, according to his biography on the CCIIO website. Larsen also was Maryland insurance commissioner for six years, chairman of the Maryland Public Service Commission for Gov. Martin O'Malley (D), and a partner with law firm Saul Ewing LLP.
"Steve did a remarkable job implementing massive changes in our health insurance system and took a lot of abuse as the point person for implementation," Washington and Lee University Law Professor Timothy Jost told BNA in an email. "I will miss him."
Opponents of PPACA linked Larsen's departure with difficulties in implementing the law. "ObamaCare--the president's signature domestic achievement--utterly depends on each state having a health insurance 'exchange' up and running by 2014," Michael Cannon, director of health policy studies at the Cato Institute, told BNA in an email. "Larsen's office is supposed to create 15 or 30 or more of these new government bureaucracies with exactly no money. I would resign too," he said.

With this whole process comes a lot of thoughts, with a lot of thoughts the need for an outlet arises...thus the blog.
Saturday, January 1, 2011
I must admit...
I always wanted a son first. (Hear me out though, this isn't a complain post) I think part of the reason is that I was always very envious of the whole "big brother protector" deal that some of my friends had and because I never knew that dynamic, I always thought it was better...therefore, I wanted it. Also, little girls are so dramatic and bossy and emotional and a million other annoying things that I was terrified I'd successfully raise a girl that was like the ones I never understood in high school or that I'd raise a little girl who wanted to.....GASP....take ballet or be a cheerleader. GAG. I was definitely more of a tomboy growing up. I played soccer from ages 4-16, caught bugs, didn't care if I got dirty, liked hanging with my dad in the garage pretend fixing my bike, went to the hardware store with my grandpa. I would play dress up and paint my nails, have slumber parties with my girlfriends and prank call the boys we all liked but I was never a ballet dancing-cheerleading drama mama. Now, don't get me wrong, in my adult life I have grown to love the "girly" things, however, deep in the darkest recesses of my mind, a little girl was always there. For some strange reason I always felt like I would have a girl first, don't know why, I just did. As it turns out, they're pretty darn fun! You can do their hair different ways, they're definitely more fun to shop for, there are definitely better decorating ideas...it seems that everything in stores made for girls are just more fantastic than the ones made for boys! I've already figured out ways I can allow her involvement in things of an ultra girly nature without wanting to vomit...perhaps she'll learn hip hop/breakdancing instead of tap/ballet, perhaps I'll work hard enough to raise a kind hearted little girl who won't feel the need to allow girly drama to consume her life but the truth is I'll love her always.

Streaming Cafe is hosting an Artist Showcase this Friday, June 10th featuring original works from local artist Nikki Balfour. The "open house" art show will run from 5pm to 9pm and will also include tunes from "Groove Lounge", local up and coming DJ's.
Some of Nikki's art will be on display at the cafe until June 24th so come down and enjoy!
Nikki Balfour Bio
For me painting is about freedom. I've been devoted to it for the last five years. This has been a time filled with many challenges, joys, and constant growth.
As a painter I am driven by emotions and words, which often create the mood that I desire to portray. I am passionate about exploring new subjects, and am refreshed by discovering new creative outlets.
Freestyle/abstract painting has been a large part of my development as an artist, whether it be working out of my studio or painting on stage with live music. In a live setting, painting and music feed off each other, creating moments of energetic creativity that would otherwise go undiscovered.
My most recent series 'Doorways and WIndows', created layer by layer using only a small palette knife, incorporates the methods and techniques that I've discovered through abstract painting. The result is a body of work that is unlike anything that I have done up to this point. The exciting thing is that no matter what subject or style I approach, these abstract techniques are a foundational thread throughout everything that I paint.
I love color, movement, and the freedom to express myself. Painting allows me to explore new worlds. I look forward to many years of creativity ahead, and fully immersing myself in the possibilities that await me.

The Overade folding helmet is the product of a collaboration between engineer Philippe Arrouart and Patrick Jouffret of French design firm Agence 360, a company who've previously worked on Look's Kéo Blade pedal and 920/986 cross-country bikes.
According to the agency's Julien Primard, the lid is aimed at people using public bike hire schemes, and other urban cyclists. "This creation is the result of an observation," he told BikeRadar via email. "Very few users of self-service bicycle use a helmet.
"In urban areas, the main obstacle to the wearing of a bicycle helmet is that it becomes cumbersome after use. Thanks to its folding system, Overade can easily store in a small bag while providing comfort and a level of protection like a standard bicycle helmet."
Overade is meant to fold and fit in a bag or purse, perfect for those who frequently use bike-share
The helmet started life as a design project, with working prototypes first emerging in 2010. It's now been decided to put it into production, for sale later this year. There's no word yet on price, release date or US/UK availability. There'll be a single, unisex model.
Overade say the lid will adhere to the same safety standards as a non-folding helmet. "The fact that it folds must be an advantage and not affect the design," said Primard. It's already received design awards from the City of Paris (Grands Prix de l'Innovation 2010) and French industrial body APCI (Etoile de l'Observeur du Design 2012).

A two-ship B-1 Bomber formation will grace the sky at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, April 14, to kick off New Mexico State University ROTC's 109th annual President's Pass-in-Review ceremony on the Horseshoe Parade Grounds on the NMSU campus.
Pass-in-Review is a time-honored tradition that dates back to Alexander the Great. The intent was to parade the forces before the commander general to indicate the troop's readiness to go into battle.
NMSU President Barbara Couture will be this year's guest speaker and will preside over the event that will highlight both the Army and Air Force ROTC program's accomplishments over the past year.
"Today, our celebration pays tribute to the longevity of ROTC on this campus and the hard work of our cadets who chose to follow in the footsteps of the long line before them," Air Force ROTC Lt. Col. Stephen Groll said. "The idea that we have freedom in this nation to celebrate over a century of military presence and participation on this campus really makes you take stock of all the things that are truly remarkable about NMSU."
Following the ceremony on the Horseshoe, an awards ceremony will take place at 4:30 p.m. in Hardman Hall on campus. Cadets will be honored with local, regional and national awards and privately funded scholarship stipends.
Members of the community are invited to attend these events.
"We are proud of the cadets in our program," Groll said. "One of our core values is 'service before self.' What we do in the military is ultimately about service to others. We are accountable to the citizens and communities we represent, protect and serve. We want them to be part of this event so they know how much our service to them means and how proud they should be of the military leaders we are producing here at NMSU."

To be honest with you, I'm finding it very difficult to come back to full time work. It is much harder than I anticipated and I'm trying almost every day but still no good luck. November was much better but December has been bad. I'm hoping that from January 2011, I can really start working fulltime. One of the problems that I find is that I'm trying to be a perfectionist and as a result, I have to suffer from a lot of negative energy.
For example, when writing this entry, I am concerned whether it is becoming good or making any sense. This is really foolish of me because the reality is that I have still not been able to come back to my full capacity. When I can come back to my full capacity and then I should bother about quality. From tomorrow, I will not think of quality at all but focus on just writing. I know that it is a very long journey of becoming a successful writer. It may take another 10 years but I will try my best to achieve the dream.
This is the thing that I will try to remember from tomorrow. It is indeed a very long journey in life to become successful as a writer. I have to face many limitations and to be honest with you, I'm very lucky that I could find blogging nearly five years ago. So, from now, I waited only focus on working fulltime and forget everything else. In January, my only focus will be to work fulltime and nothing else. I would not bother even if the content that I create is absolutely trash without any kind of quality.
Instead, I will try to a remind myself every day that quality comes after trying a lot.

Ritual Uber Alles - Part 3 - Ladies and Tefillin
Recently two Modern Orthodox schools, SAR Academy in Riverdale and Rabbi Haskel Lookstein's Ramaz school made waves within the Jewish world by announcing that girls who wished to wear tefillin during davening would be allowed to do so.
Naturally this has resulted in waves of outrage from the right side of Orthodoxy and waves of outrage at the outrage from the left side. On the right folks like Rav Steven Pruzansky and others like him can see nothing good in this. They note the lack of approval for this practice amongst the halachic sources and remain concerned that letting young women wear tefillin is a first step towards Reformativism and a meddling with the mesorah. For folks on the left any opposition to these girls is unacceptable and presents an exclusionary Judaism that they don't want to be part of.
Let's cut through a few things. Technically there's no issur to prevent these young ladies from putting on tefillin whenever they want. There is an issue over whether or not they can make a beracha since they are not obligated but these kinds of things have been argued about for years when women decided they wanted to start waving a lulav at Sukkos but nowhere does it say in Shulchan Aruch that women are outright forbidden to put on tefillin.
That doesn't mean the classical codes have nothing to say on the matter. While acknowledging the technical lack of an issur the Rem"a clearly states his discomfort with the idea. There are, in fact, no sources I could find while reviewing the subject over Shabbos that are comfortable with the idea or even say "Well, if she really, really wants to..." In other words, while the lack of prohibition exists the concept of women putting on tefillin is not recommended by the authorities.
Now for many on the left this is no barrier. They will point out that Michal, the daughter Shaul wore tefillin. They rarely point out the next part of the Gemara where Chazal said that the contemporary authorities protested against her. They'll point out that Rashi's daughters wore tefillin. Well, once your father knows as much as Rashi...
In fact there is no answer to give a woman determined to wear tefillin. She's going to do it and if a Rav pushes back she might use the rebuf to jump ship to the local Conservative synagogue. Certainly the Rav will be roudnly criticized by the relevant folks for daring to deny the young lady her "right" to get closer to God through the tefillin.
Leaving this aside one must then ask: why does a young lady want to wear tefillin in the first place?
Let me point out that there is one reason why men wear tefillin: because God said to. When I get up in the morning, before I daven Shacharis I put on my tefillin because I have to. If I decide one morning that the tefillin aren't doing anything for me it doesn't matter. I still have to put them on.
What's more, despite popular appearances tefillin aren't tied to the daily prayers. If one wakes up on a desert island one morning bereft of one's possessions one still must daven, even without any tefillin in sight. And in the reverse, if I decide I don't want to pray one morning I still have the obligation to put my tefillin on. Yes, we make a connection between the two because nowadays that's the only time we wear them but really one does not depend on the other.
Which brings us back to these young ladies. I have no doubt that they pray every morning with great sincerity and conviction. As far as their actual obligations go al pi halacha they fulfill them. So why the need to put on tefillin? They are not chayav in the mitzvah. They don't get the same reward as if they fulfilled something they are obligated to do. They annoy many people by doing it. So why the urge?
I will suggest that there is a simple reason: because the boys do it. Remember what I've been saying about the role of ritual in Judaism nowadays: it's everything. The more rituals you do, the more Judaism you're doing. When a boy goes to pray he puts on his tefillin. When a girl goes to pray she just gets to open a siddur. In a ritual-centred model of Judaism why wouldn't the young lady get the impression that the boy is doing more than her? If she sincerely desires to have the best prayer experience possible why wouldn't she see adding tefillin to her prayers to bring them up to the same level as the boy's?
The actual halachic position is simple: a girl without tefillin and a boy wearing them are both in the optimal position for davening.
The perceived ritual position is also simple: the more you do, the frummer you are. Until that perception is changed one cannot argue against the "Morethodoxy" folks and their desire to change Judaism to suit their underlying secular liberal values.
Once again ritual has taken over reason and become the defining feature of our practice of Judaism. That doesn't mean it's correct.

What Rama are you reading? The Rama says "mochim b'yadam" -- not only should it not be done, but we should protest against it.
Rabbi Pruzansky from Teaneck, NJ is now part of the "right-wing?" I guess compared to R' Avi Weiss and R' Lookstein he is, but if that's your yardstick then just about everyone is on the right.

I would say that breaking down gender roles creates a slippery slope that allows faggots to say they can have families of 2 fathers or 2 mothers and it's perfectly fine for the kids.
Of course we straight people know that men and women bring different things to the table in a marriage.

It is pretty clear that facts really have nothing to do with people's positions here. Nobody is really honest. It all depends on your outlook--how you look at the world. Do you embrace change or do your look backwards? Do you fear new things? Do you have empathy for other people or are you tribal, protecting your "own", be it gender, religious group or whatever.

There might be 2 problems that I have never heard discussed.Both
would also apply to tzitzit.
Aleph; al titgodedu. Example on Chol Hamoed those Ashkenazim who are noheg to lay Tephillin without a bracha must refrain from doing so in a place where people are noheg not to. Rather they should do it at home before they go to shul.
Bet; Beged ish.
Now everyone can start throwing tomatoes at my assertion.

1) Lo Tisgodedu - the minhag in many shuls is for those who are wearing tefillin to go into the ezras nashim, as there is a mechitza that seperates them from the rest of the tzibur to avoid lo tisgodedu.
2) Targum Yonasan Devarim 22:5 says tefillin is kli gever. The question Achronim discuss is how to fit that with the Chazal that Michal bas Shaul wore tefillin.

I raised both your objections over at DovBear and got plenty of tomatoes thrown at me.
Chaim, that minhag is an excellent solution for the schools in quesiton since then both the men and women wearing tefillin will be in the ezras nashim! 8-)
