Anquan Boldin had a look on his face in the second half of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals that words could not possibly do justice. It might best be described as a mixture of desire, focus, self-confidence and rage.
And if you understand and appreciate the powerful role that emotion plays in professional football, it was — no exaggeration — beautiful.
Boldin caught seven passes for 145 yards in the Ravens stunning 30-27 comeback victory at M&T Bank Stadium in what was easily the best game he's played while wearing a Ravens jersey. But those numbers can't really put in proper context just how important he was in the win against Arizona, the team he spent seven seasons with before he was traded to Baltimore.
Baltimore's offense has been flat-lining of late, and in the second half on Sunday, Boldin might as well have been a human defibrillator.
He didn't just get open against Arizona's secondary, he brought the Ravens back to life by demanding the ball. He screamed for it, in fact, even when he wasn't open. When Joe Flacco threw it to him, he either caught it for a big gain or lured the Cardinals into committing a penalty. Of all the Ravens who had a hand in the biggest comeback in team history, it's fair to say that no one looked more furious, or more determined, to finish the job in the second half.
"I mean, some games are just like that," Boldin said when asked about the Ravens repeatedly targeting him. "That's one of the reasons I was brought here. There's a lot of times when you are covered. If a guy is on you, in this league, that's open. So Joe was able to put the ball in the right place, and I was able to make a play on it."
Boldin's assessment was probably a little modest. On the Ravens opening drive of the third quarter, he caught a 37-yard pass, then drew a pass interference penalty that set up a 1-yard Ray Rice touchdown that made it 27-13.
"Anquan made a couple catches, and I think in some ways it sparked everybody else," said Ravens coach John Harbaugh. "Then you saw Dennis [Pitta] make a couple of catches, and Ed [Dickson] make a catch or two. Once guys start making catches, and guys start getting the feeling that we can make plays, I think it really just helps everybody. Anquan was definitely the catalyst in the whole thing."
Later in the third quarter, Flacco seemed to realize Boldin could out-run or out-muscle his man — cornerback A.J. Jefferson — on pretty much every play, and the two hooked up on passes for 21, 23, 27 and 9 yards during an 88-yard drive. Boldin drew yet another pass interference penalty on Patrick Peterson, and the Ravens pulled within 24-20 on a second 1-yard TD run by Rice.
"They had his arm pinned down once or twice, and he still made catches," Harbaugh said. "It was Anquan that got us going from the jump."
Boldin, of course, shrugged off the suggestion that playing against his old team, the same team that didn't think he was worthy of a big contract extension, had anything to do with the way he played.
"For me, it doesn't matter," Boldin said. "I'm a Raven."
Perhaps understandably, no member of the Ravens seemed more appreciative of Boldin's effort against the Cardinals than offensive coordinator Cam Cameron. After the Ravens' dismal offensive showing against the Jaguars, Cameron spent a week getting flogged by both fans and the media. Standing in the locker room after the game, Cameron looked a lot like someone had removed (at least for now) a fleet of pianos from his back.
"Anquan Boldin is a star," Cameron said. "He always has been. I think you saw a lot of trust between Joe and Anquan today. You see the growth between them. 'Q' is an amazing guy on game day. I love him. He's such a team guy. He wants the ball, but he's a team guy, and that's a big part of our game."
Boldin isn't very big on showboating. He's such a intense competitor, it's rare to see him do anything after a catch other than flip the ball to the referee and jog back to the huddle for the next play. But he couldn't resist making a fist and pounding his chest a few times during the Ravens comeback. It was almost as if he was reminding his teammates, and the rest of the football world, that his team still had a heartbeat.

text: Dear annelideans, Not for the first time I was asked my opinion about the possible origin of the fouling species Hydroides elegans. Five years ago I gave a lecture on the topic of shiptransported serpulids during one of the ICES meetings, a slightly adapted transcript of what I said is given below. Maybe you can shoot at it, in order to get a better hypothesis. HYDROIDES ELEGANS As for Hydroides elegans, it probably is the most widespread harbour- fouling serpulid in tropical and subtropical conditions in both Old and New World. Again, it is very difficult to reconstruct its centre of origin. We do have some pointers. H. elegans was first described by Haswell (1883) from Sydney Harbour, but this does not necessarily mean that this is the centre of origin. The first Mediterranean record of elegans dates back to 1888, from a fouling community in the harbour of Naples (Zibrowius 1992: 91). In the Mediterranean, H. elegans is restricted to lagoonal and harbour communities, it is absent from the open coasts. The same holds for the tropical Antillean island of Curaçao, where H. elegans was found for the first time in the main harbour Schottegat by me in 1970*, and only recently (1975-1985) spread into some other semi-enclosed lagoons, where it is replacing the local lagoonal species (sanctaecrucis and alatalateralis). From this we may infer that elegans probably is not indigenous to the Antilles. On the other hand, H. elegans seems to have a more natural distribution in Australia. According to Allen (1953) it occurred rarely other than on certain sea-weeds at a depth of about 20 metres at the time of its discovery in 1883. This, and certainly the depth of 20 metres, in my opinion smells of natural occurrence rather than of introduction by shipfouling. Allen mentions that observations made by docking officers indicate that elegans was seldom, if ever, seen on ships fouled in the thirties, whereas it was the most important fouling organism in Port Jackson in the fifties. He hypothesizes its rise in importance to be due to the increasing pollution in the harbour, a hypothesis corroborated by later research by Moran & Grant (1984). Furthermore, H. elegans is part of a complex of 6 taxa (Hydroides norvegicus Gunnerus, 1768, longispinosus Imajima, 1976, multispinosus Marenzeller, 1885, nanhaiensis Wu & Chen, 1981, H. centrospina** Wu & Chen, 1981), of which the last 4 occur in tropical Australia and Indonesia***. In my eyes, this all makes an Australian origin the most likely. *sifting through older collections of P. Wagenaar Hummelinck I recently (re)discovered specimens in fouling samples from a Venezuelan Destroyer in Schottegat (100dreds) and a few from a buoy in Caracasbaai, both records from 1955, and two specimens from outer Piscaderabaai in 1967, so it probably will have been introduced at an earlier date than 1970. However, this does not change my views, in very many samples by Wagenaar hummelinck from enclosed lagoons earlier than the seventies elegans is not found. **Fiege & Sun, 1999 synonymized centrospina with longispinosus. ***I left out the implied biogeographic axiom that as a general rule, that part of the globe in which at present a natural group of animals is represented by the largest number of species must be considered the centre of its dispersal. I know there are exceptions to this "rule", but combined with the other arguments . . . . . Also, the "natural group" has not yet been corroborated by a cladistic analysis, but those efforts I made, all placed the mentioned taxa in one clade. wormly dr.

The story of the Samaritan woman at the well is a familiar passage from John's Gospel, rich in allusion and meaning. Jacob's Well, the main setting of the story, was an historic public watering hole and meeting place, where earlier encounters between Isaac and Rebekah and Jacob and Rachel had taken place. Moses also met his wife, Zipporah, at a well. The setting hints at the possibility that yet another important relationship is about to commence.
The question of thirst and the provision of water also bring to mind Israel's complaining in the wilderness, until Moses struck the rock from which water flowed to slake their thirst. Hovering in the background of the dialogue between Jesus and this woman is the plaintive question raised then: "Is the Lord among us or not?" It is a timeless question, the question I daresay we've all asked at one time or another, whenever we've found ourselves in a desert place; dried out, bone tired, and parched. In those times when it seems like God has brought us this far, only to abandon us, we, too, can wonder if the well has run dry.
We don't know much about this Samaritan woman. The Western church treats her much like Mary Magdalene: as an icon of fallen womanhood restored to moral propriety. Of course, there is none of that in John's story. Jesus says nothing of repentance or sin, as he does with the woman caught in adultery later in John's Gospel.
We can assume that the people of Sychar treated her like an outcast. There is no other explanation for her being at the well at noon, alone during the heat of the day, rather than in the morning or evening when everyone else came to the well to gather water and gossip. Only a woman already marginalized would appear in public unaccompanied by a male relative. In the course of her conversation with Jesus, we learn that she has had five husbands and is now dependent upon a man with whom she is not married. That is a tragic situation, but not necessarily sinful; she could have been a widow, and only men could initiate divorce in that time and place. Her initial responses to Jesus are guarded, even a bit cynical. She is hardly a woman on the make.
Although the people of Sychar treated her as a scapegoat, Jesus does not, so why should we perpetuate her victimization? Whereas others saw her as a wanton among respectable people, a mere woman in a man's world, a Samaritan heretic cut-off from God's chosen people, Jesus saw her as a vessel of living water welling up to eternal life. Being seen in this way changes everything for her. She had internalized the image reflected in the contemptuous faces of the people around her. Her heart had become well defended against the world, with a rocklike armor. But Jesus touched her heart, and living water flowed out from the rock. That current of love was so powerful that it washed over the whole community.
Jesus saw her whole, telling her everything she had ever done! Can you imagine? He accepted every bit of who she had been and who she was and said, "I see a spring of water gushing up in you to eternal life. Isn't that the water you really want? Isn't this who you really are?" He tells her not to get caught up by the invidious distinctions we make based on religion and ethnicity and gender, worrying about who is in and who is out, who is right and who is wrong: none of that matters. What matters is worshipping God in spirit and in truth, whether in Jerusalem or Samaria, Rome or Canterbury, Mecca or Bodh Gaya. The location of the well is unimportant. Just drink deeply.
Jesus invites her into an intimate relationship with God without preconditions. She doesn't need to change in any way to drink this living water. But having drunk deeply, her world would change in ways she couldn't have possibly imagined. She became the first apostle, beating out even Mary Magdalene for the title.
We are told that she left her water jar behind and ran back to Sychar, telling everyone in town that she has met the Messiah. She can hardly believe it herself, "He cannot be the Messiah, can he?" What is even more amazing is that many of them believed her! This woman, who had made herself as small and defended against them as she possibly could, sneaking to the well at midday to avoid attention, was suddenly in their face; and not with bitter recriminations at having been victimized by them, but with an offer of a love the she just could not keep dammed up.
Even more believed because of Jesus' word. The Samaritan woman did not point to herself, but to the one who healed her. "They said to the woman, 'It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world.'" This is what a good apostle does: invites people to tap into the flow of living water themselves. God desires an intimate, loving relationship with absolutely everybody.
If the Western church has looked down its collective nose at the Samaritan woman, the Eastern church saw her very differently. In the hagiography of Eastern Orthodoxy, the Samaritan woman, along with her sisters and her son, were baptized at Pentecost. At her baptism, she took the name, Photini, which means, "enlightened one." She then began a wide-ranging missionary career, which eventually brought her to Rome, where she attempted to convert none other than the emperor, Nero, who had already ordered her arrest! When he asked her why she had come to Rome, she replied, "We have come to teach you to believe in Christ."
Three years passed, during which Nero tried and failed to get her and her companions to renounce Christ through a combination of temptation and torture. In fact, it resulted in the conversion of Nero's daughter, Domnina, to the Christina faith. Their prison became a joyful center of Christian preaching and worship. Nero finally ordered Photini's death. Guess how she became a martyr? By being thrown down a well. And so she became St. Photini, hailed by the fathers of the Eastern church as an apostle, as reflected in the Troparion to St. Photini:
"Illuminated by the Holy Spirit, All-Glorious One, from Christ the Savior you drank the water of salvation. With open hand you give it to those who thirst. Great martyr, St. Photini, equal to the Apostles, pray to Christ for the salvation of our souls."
The Samaritan woman became St. Photini. She discovered within herself a well of living water gushing up to eternal life by looking into the face of Jesus, and seeing reflected there her image as the beloved caught in the gaze of the divine lover.
The true nature of your Beloved.
In His loving eyes your every thought,
Word and movement is always-
Always Beautiful."
The Sufi mystic, Hafiz, expresses what I imagine St. Photini must have experienced so powerfully in her encounter with Jesus at Jacob's well. There commenced a new and important relationship – a relationship that forever answered the question, "Is the Lord among us or not?" with a resounding, "Yes! He is here. He has always been here." St. Photini knew herself loved, and she invited absolutely everybody, even Nero, to discover this truth for themselves.
God desires an intimate, loving relationship with you, without preconditions. You do not have to change to be loved, but being loved, you will be changed forever. Amen.

When her mother died, Cheryl Strayed was cast into an abyss. To pull herself out of it, she tried sex, drugs, and long-distance hiking – although not simultaneously. She put drug use and empty relationships behind her (although just barely) before she set off on a solitary 1,100-mile hike on the Pacific Crest Trail.
That's not to say that Strayed was well prepared for what she was undertaking. She had never backpacked before and spent the night before she left pulling brand-new outdoors equipment out of its packaging.
Yet despite all the odds, Strayed's journey was at least as transcendent as it was turbulent. She faced down hunger, thirst, injury, fatigue, boredom, loss, bad weather, and wild animals. Yet she also reached new levels of joy, accomplishment, courage, peace, and found extraordinary companionship.
I recently had a chance to talk with Strayed about her trip and her new book Wild. Here are excerpts of our conversation:
One of the last things your mother said to you was, "You're a seeker." What were you seeking and did you find it on the trail?
I think what she really meant by that – and I think this has been true throughout my life – is that I've always been somebody who asked a lot of questions and I think that was what made me a writer. I was always curious about other people's lives and wanted to know why they did certain things. Even as a child I would say things like, "Why did you fall in love with your wife?" So I was always curious about the underneath things. When I decided to hike the trail I was very literally seeking a different way of being in the world. I was having such a difficult time [due to] grief over my mother. And so I think that I knew that I needed to go somewhere that was like home and the wilderness was that.
What was the best gift the trail gave you?
The greatest gift was a sense of my own resilience. By that I mean something deeper than what confidence is. When we feel confident I think that a lot of times we think that that means that we're going to be able to succeed at something and dominate something and master something. You know, it's all those kind of winning and on-top things. The kind of confidence that I got on the PCT was more like, "Whatever it is that happens I'll be OK." To carry everything that I needed on my back ... to say "Here's what I actually need to survive" and it's stuff that I can carry on my back. That's really powerful. And to do it while carrying it over this difficult terrain and in difficult weather. It just gave me this sense of my own strength and resilience.
What was your worst moment?
There were times all along the way when the physical circumstances would meet the negative thought patterns. I would just get so angry at myself. I would say why do I have to be out here? You know, think of all the other things a 26-year-old woman could be doing right now. And I'm just out there in the wilderness and so when it would be really searingly hot and my feet would be absolutely killing me I would be hungry and just thinking about all the things I did not have. I would get into one of those negative thought patterns and that was so hard. I just wanted off.
You mailed yourself some wonderful books that you could collect at way stations along the way. What did the books contribute to your trip?
They very important to me. They were my entertainment. Remember, this is 1995. Now people take their iPods, their MP3 players, podcasts of radio shows. They're listening to books on tape, audio books, and music. They have a different relationship to silence than I did. Every chance I got, every time I'd be sitting down having a snack or a break or having a meal at night, I'd be reading those books. I felt that, the way we get lost in a book in regular life was just amplified and magnified by about 1,000 when the only world that you can lose yourself in is that book.
You tell some amazing stories about "trail magic" – the kindnesses that seemed to be showered on you out there. Was that because you are a woman and were traveling alone?
I think I would have encountered trail magic [anyway], I think that everyone does. But I think that you get a lot more trail magic when you're a woman alone. The flip side of being seen as weak is that nobody's threatened by a woman alone. So people open themselves up to you. Also they saw me as vulnerable so they wanted to help me. It was very interesting to experience this endless kindness. When people understand that you are on this wilderness journey, people are so excited about that. Even people who would never want to do it themselves. They kind of want to live it vicariously through you. Any long-distance hiker ends up being a little bit like a celebrity.
Were you underprepared for the experience?
In a lot of ways I was prepared. I spent months preparing, organizing my boxes, and doing all the planning and stuff. The part that I was really unprepared for was the part about what it was like to really be out on the trail. I certainly could have been way better prepared. For example I could have gone backpacking before. Or tested the equipment. There are all kinds of rules I broke. On the other hand, and others who have hiked long distance will agree with this, there is only a certain amount you can do to be prepared. You can't replicate hiking for a long, long time unless you hike for a long, long time.
Who would you be if you hadn't taken this trip?
I think that if I hadn't hiked the PCT, I would have found myself out of that sorrow in some other fashion. Maybe the PCT was the hardest and fastest way to sort of shake myself back into the life that I needed to live, so it sort of sped that process along because it was so intense.
You're sure to have wanna-be Imitators who will consider hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. What advice would you give them?
The book's only been out a day, and already I've received a few e-mails from people saying, "I'm going to this. I'm going to do what you did." And it's funny to me because, on the one hand, that's wonderful. Because, aside from having kids and marrying my husband, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail is the best thing that I've ever done. Absolutely no question. I would do it again in a heartbeat. And I also would recommend to anyone else to do it. But it's also true that everyone has to find their own journey, their own path, and I don't know that they necessarily need to follow mine so literally. There are all kinds of journeys that we can go on. And they don't necessarily even involve leaving your city.

On December 29, 1972, at 11:42pm, Eastern Air Lines Flight 401 and its 163 passengers crashed in the Everglades. It was the first crash of a wide-body aircraft and at the time, was the second deadliest single-aircraft disaster in the nation.
A landing gear indicator light had blown in the cockpit, and the crew busied themselves with the problem. In so doing, they failed to notice they were allowing the plane to go into a gradual descent. In the darkness of the night and without visual reference over the swamp, they realized their error far too late, as the black box cockpit recording reveals the Captain saying, "Hey! What's happening here?" just seconds before impact.
In the aftermath of the disaster, spare parts salvaged from Flight 401's crashed Lockheed L-1011 were used on other planes. According to some sources, Eastern Air Lines employees on those flights using 401's spare parts began seeing ghosts of the dead Captain Loft and his flight engineer Don Repo.
The ghosts of Loft and Repo seem to have an unusual fixation on galley ovens. In one anecdote, a flight attendant observed the ghost of Repo fixing a galley oven; Another attendant claims to have seen Repo's face looking out at her from inside the oven on board Tri-Star 318. She ran to get two colleagues to see the apparition, and they saw it too. One of them, so the story is told, had been a friend of Repo's and recognized him immediately. All three say Repo's head in the oven spoke, and warned them, "Watch out for fire on this airplane."
One of the vice-presidents of Eastern Airlines even claimed he sat next to Captain Loft's ghost on a plane, and that the ghost then vanished right before his eyes.
John G. Fuller, in his 1976 book The Ghost of Flight 401, collected and compiled these anecdotes. Eastern Air Lines CEO Frank Borman was not happy about the ghost stories and decried them as "garbage". For a time, he considered suing Fuller and his publisher for libel, but decided in the end that would only provide further publicity for the book. He was no doubt even less thrilled when the book become a made-for-television movie in 1978.
The Flight Safety Foundation, on the other hand, seemed to take the matter very seriously, and commented on the phenomena: "The reports were given by experienced and trustworthy pilots and crew. We consider them significant."

Biased story?
As a 25-year-old unschooling "graduate" with three younger unschooled siblings, I found Anthony Lane's article on homeschooling ("One of these things ..." cover story, Jan. 31) extremely biased and misleading.
As Cheryl Lindsey Seelhoff wrote in her essay "Who Stole Homeschooling?" conservative Christians have done a lovely job of taking homeschooling to heart and shouting loudly about it all the time, making it seem to the general public they are the only group interested in homeschooling.
My parents homeschooled us because they felt children should be taken care of and taught by their parents, not by an exterior system of people. There was no religious slant. We do exist! We simply don't feel the need to constantly separate ourselves from the world by hiding from it and talking about it all the time.
Those are hallmarks of conservative Christians in general, not just of homeschooled conservative Christians. Christians are welcome to homeschool, but I wish they'd tone down the separatist rhetoric.
The "lack of socialization" myth is just that a myth. My homeschool group in southern Indiana had over 50 families, and we had many activities. While I had plenty of friends and social interaction, my social network included many age groups and backgrounds.
I volunteered at the local hospital, played in various bands, played county league soccer and raced mountain bikes in a state series. I believe my childhood socialization surpassed that of most school kids.
Perhaps the article was so biased because the majority of homeschoolers in El Paso County are religious. However, I think Lane should have done a better job of either representing homeschooling in its more balanced nationwide variety, or of making the article definitively local in scope.
I like the Indy, and read it every week, but I am disappointed in this article.

Deaf rep
It's ironic that I received a brochure (prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense) from Rep. Doug Lamborn, titled "2008 Priorities and Update," listing one of his goals as "constituent outreach." Lamborn has built himself a track record of neither listening to his constituency nor taking action.
This is especially evident in the matter of the Browns Canyon Wilderness initiative. At a meeting last April, attended by veterans, NRA members, Republicans and Independents among others, Lamborn stated he would meet with Friends of Browns Canyon representatives to rebut the comments made by a small, special-interest group in opposition to the initiative.
Lamborn was asked by Buffalo Peaks Backcountry Horsemen (BBH) to ride Browns to see the area first-hand. Lamborn stated that he would love to. BBH sent a follow-up letter asking Lamborn to ride Browns. Lamborn never responded.
The Arkansas River Outfitters Association sent Lamborn an invitation to raft the Arkansas via Browns. Again, no response.
He has received nearly 3,000 postcards and well over 100 handwritten letters supporting Browns. As far as I know, Lamborn hasn't responded to any, including my own.
Lamborn's office has been contacted numerous times to schedule a meeting and presentation on Browns, and these requests have never been acknowledged. A delegation traveled to Washington, D.C. this past summer, and Lamborn did not meet with them, though he had ample advance notice.
Not only is Lamborn ignoring concerned, tax-paying, voting sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts, his inattention spreads to issues such as illegal immigration and others. Lamborn has proven he'll say and do just about anything to get elected, and then do whatever he pleases once in office.
Lamborn's brochure says, "I am always looking for better ways to hear from you." How about getting a hearing aid and reading glasses, Doug?

Un-green 14
I received a report from Manitou Springs School District 14 and noticed the shiny, glossy paper. Didn't seem too Earth-friendly, so I called about it.
The eight-page, two-sided report was on paper that was not recycled, because it was "cheaper" to be anti-environment and use dioxin-bleached, fresh-from-living-trees paper. The school made a conscious choice not to go with recycled paper.
The money spent for 5,500 copies was $3,213, I was told by D-14, but that was only the initial apparent costs.
Ecological costs would include fossil fuels used to chop down the trees (there goes the forest), grind them up, bleach them (there goes air quality) and package and ship the paper (more fossil fuel). There's the hidden cost to people living where the trees are downed, for their loss of forest environment. Forests are the lungs of the planet.
I am shocked the school chose not to use recycled, post-consumer paper. The trees are more valuable as trees than as this shiny booklet destined for the landfill. Doesn't the school teach ecology and environmental responsibility?
I would rather not be forced to participate in this by receiving such mailings, nor do I approve of my tax dollars going to non-green, unsustainable projects. I thought about all the folks I know who will not even read this report (though they will get one!) and the report will go right into the trash, or hopefully the recycle bin.
Wouldn't it make more sense to have interested people request the information and send it to them, rather than sending one to everyone and their dog? I hope school leaders will re-think the policies.
Anyone who doesn't understand the reasons for "being green," or why "cheap" isn't cheap, can go to storyofstuff.com/index.html. "Cheap" isn't really cheap, unless it is green from start to finish.

Utilities' fuzzy math
Today, I received my Colorado Springs Utilities bill. The newsletter (that customers receive and pay for whether we want it or not) dated January 2007, though CSU meant 2008, had a front-page story about price changes approved by City Council in October 2007. The article states: "The changes result in a 2.3 percent increase to the typical overall residential bill."
Whenever CSU talks about the "typical residential customer," it's wise to check to see if you are a typical customer. A subtle way to place more burden on customers who conserve the most or use very little because they live in small homes is to increase the daily service or daily access charges rather than commodity charges. Daily fees are the charges customers pay even if they use absolutely nothing during the month.
Based on my December and January bills, the natural gas daily access charge rose 4.45 percent, the gas commodity charge rose 3.31 percent, the wastewater service charge rose 15.35 percent and the wastewater commodity charge rose 3.45 percent.
That is much different than the advertised "typical residential customers rate increase of 2.3 percent." Just to belong to Club CSU, all residential customers pay $33.32 every 30 days. That, by the way, is a 6.3 percent increase from 2007.
If you are an above-average customer using more than the average amount of commodities, please thank those of us who are helping you to pay your bill. If you own a gas-guzzler, this type of pricing structure would be beneficial at the gas pumps, too. Just think, those global warming-conscious, econo-car owners would get to pay more per gallon so you could pay less.

Wiretapped out
Last August, Congress passed the Protect America Act, amending wiretap statutes to allow our government to continue warrantless wiretapping with no oversight of all domestic calls made by every American within our borders. The act was pushed with the same hyperbole and fear-mongering about "ticking time bombs" and "elevated terrorist chatter" that has defined post-9/11 America.
The act was set to expire Feb. 1 but was extended for 15 days. President Bush has called for renewal, adding retroactive immunity from prosecution for telecom companies involved (AT&T and Verizon, chiefly). The government and these telecoms have been recording whom you call, how long the calls are and perhaps much more since February 2001, well before Sept. 11 and in direct contravention of the law.
The Bush administration, unwilling to educate Congress about the nature and scope of wiretapping, fears recent lawsuits by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation will finally break the veil of secrecy and expose yet another unconstitutional, illegal program.
Democrat Sens. Harry Reid and Jay Rockefeller pushed in recent weeks for a permanent extension of the PAA, including retroactive immunity for telecoms, exactly as Bush has asked.
The courageous efforts of Sens. Chris Dodd and Russ Feingold to filibuster the rubberstamping of this unlawful program have prevented it from being rammed through the Senate, and now it and proposed amendments (most focused on immunity) are up for discussion.
Contact your senators and House representatives and express your feelings about the renewal and especially the retroactive immunity. They will vote on these issues over the next few weeks.
Far too long, illegal and unconstitutional activities of the Bush administration have gone unchecked and unseen. Let's give courts and the people an opportunity to review this program and turn our back on fear-mongering and law-breaking.

D-49 board: absent
I attended a community meeting on Jan. 31 to give input on the Falcon School District 49 superintendent search. This was an opportunity to give the D-49 school board our opinion on what we felt was important in a superintendent.
Imagine my surprise when an attorney and a consultant ran the meeting and no board member attended.
The 60 teachers, staff and parents were told the meeting was being tape-recorded and the board would listen to it "later." The legal reason given was that potential candidates could be in the audience, and this would adversely affect the process. Also, we were told, the board had many meetings recently, so the members didn't have time to attend.
The message sent was that their time was more valuable than ours, and the opinions of the community were not important.
How much taxpayers' money was wasted on paying a high-priced lawyer and consultant that should have gone to students and improved achievement?
If the board doesn't have time to hear our opinion, maybe we need a new board that does have time for the community and kids' education.

1978 Datsun OtherThis is a really cool little car that was previously owned by a mechanic. I bought the car to restore, but I have decided to build a Datsun 610 instead.
This car has been sorted mechanically, runs like a champ. It has a clean title. Starts right up, all the electrical works. The windows roll up and down smoothly. Doors open and close easily. Clean California car. It's a solid foundation that would make a great first classic or daily driver for any enthusiast.
I took the US spec bumpers off the car, because it looks better without them, but I will include them with the sale. Check the pics. I also have the passenger side trim that is not shown.
Buyer must arrange shipping or they can pick the car up in San Diego free of charge.
Any questions let me know.

Sundried Personal Trainer Vicky will be taking you through a 10 week training plan to get you on your road to either your first or a faster 10k!
Vicky Gardner is Personal Trainer and writer at Sundried. My best advice with training is to 'think outside the box', change and adapt things so it suits you and you'll never get bored!"
This Sundried workout is designed to improve your running time and pace and get you passed the 10k finish line in just 10 weeks.
We may not all be as good as the Olympians, but at Sundried we believe every step counts. Whilst you may not be the strongest or the fastest, if you train hard, you will get results.
Congratulations. You've decided you want to do a 10k run, well done you.
Now let's feed you all the knowledge we can to make sure you not only run 10k, but you feel great doing it.
Over the next 10 weeks, we'll set you three challenges a week to incorporate into your training regime to get you ready for a 10k race.
10k is a great distance, sitting at 6.2 miles it's in between the casual fun run of the 5k, but short of the time load of training for a half marathon. With the right attitude, training routine and effort, anyone can run a 10k.
Before the Go: Planning and preparation prevents a poor performance.
Invest in the right activewear. Your active wear could be the difference between a good run, and giving up.
The right running clothes will wick sweat, keep your body cool, protect you from chafing and make you look the part. With summer on the way it's starting to warm up so we recommend layering your clothing so you are prepared for all weather conditions - unfortunately our weather isn't quite as good as Rio's.
Women need to invest in a supportive sports bar as running is high impact on the chest.
As well as finding active wear which is designed to last, the right pair of trainers is essential.
Personal Trainer Jess Tonking says: "Make sure you have decent trainers! Go to a running shop so they can assess your running style and help to choose the right pair. You don't have to necessarily buy from them as this may come at a cost but with the right trainers you have less risk of injury."
Once you're kitted out, it's time to set the plan. Now, luckily for you, Sundried have got you covered, as for the next 10 weeks we will keeping you up to date with a weekly schedule to get you to 10k in 10 weeks. Don't worry, we won't make you run 10k in the first week and there's no fitness test to pass, all we ask is that you follow the plan and give it your best, the rest will come.
Each week we recommend you complete a minimum of 3 runs. Why 3? Because 3 is the magic number of course! But really, 3 runs is simple to fit into your usual routine, it will give you time to recover and progress plus you can easily add more training should you feel the need. Your weekly routine will contain:
Run 1: Day 1
For your first run, your intervals are most likely to be between power- walking and running, however as you get fitter, these will be sprints and jogs. Interval training increases your V02 max, which is your lungs ability to uptake Oxygen and transport it around your body. Increasing this will help you last the distance in the long run.
Warm up: Spend 3-5 minutes warming the body up, this can be anything from a walk to a light jog. Circle the arms to warm up the shoulders and allow your heart rate to creep up to over 130 bpm, your heart rate training zone should correspond to your level of intensity.
Intervals: Jog for 2 minutes, Sprint for 30 seconds. Repeat 10 times, lasting a total of 25 minutes. As this is your first run the push intervals are followed by plenty of recovery to allow your heart rate to come back down in between sets.
Cool Down: Walk for 2-3 minutes before completing a minimum of 5 minutes of cool down stretches, you may want to incorporate a foam roller if you suffer from tight calves.
Run 2: Day 3
Tempo runs should be comfortably hard. You should be aiming to maintain a tough pace, for 20 minutes. For most people, a tempo run is about 25 to 30 seconds per mile slower than their current 5K race pace. Tempo runs, provide a direct and important benefit in longer races for runners at any level, from novice to the elite, by practising maintaining your effort at the lactate threshold you'll be able to run faster when it comes to your 10k.
Run 3: Day 5
Your first distance run eases you in, we're going to start with a 5k, that's half the target running distance. Run at a steady pace as best as you can and record your time, we will be referring back to this in later weeks, so keep note! Remember that this is your first distance run and in 10 weeks, you'll be seeing significantly different results to the ones you do now!
Sundried Trainer Tips: At Sundried, all our members of staff are REPS level 3 personal trainers, so the office is filled with training hints, tips and advice. Each week of your training routine, we'll throw together our favourite insights to keep you on track.
WEEK ONE TIPS "It's all about mindset- compartmentalise your run! By doing this your run doesn't feel like it's such a hard slog. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, ease yourself in, follow your programme and you'll hit your running goals." Jess.
"Grab a running buddy, if you've got someone else to try and keep up with, you'll run that little bit harder. You're also less likely to cancel if there's someone to let down other than yourself!" Vicky.
"Don't try and run too far on your first go. You've got to pace yourself, with a 10 week programme, there's plenty of time for your distance to grow and your speed to improve" Daniel.

The Season Has Begun!
At 3:58pm today, Saturday, Feb 28th, 2015 Mom laid the first egg of the 2015 season at the MNB nest! Congrats to all!
Thanks to Lolaboo two2 for the vid of the hatch!
Goodbye, Robin.
As I sit here stunned and saddened by the death of Robin Williams I harken back to the first time i met him. It was while I was working on a Blake Edwards film in 1984. We were shooting a wedding scene at a church in Santa Monica for a film called Micky and Maude. I was sitting at my cart doing what I normally did, recording and playing back what we were shooting, when I became aware of a presence behind me. I turned to look to see who it was as many of the crew would look over my shoulder at my monitor to watch the action as it happened. I was surprised to see a quiet, reserved man who I didn't recognize at first as being one of the people who would normally show up in that spot. As I turned to get a better look it hit me who he was. I asked if I could do anything for him and offered him my chair so he could see my monitor better. He declined and said not to make a fuss as he was just there to talk to Blake about a project they were thinking of doing together. He didn't want anyone to make a fuss and tried to act like just another spectator to what we were doing. He was very kind and self effacing and didn't act like a star at all. We talked a bit about his work and I told him I was a big fan and that I hoped he and Blake would do a project together as I would love to work with him also. He said that he hoped it would all work out, too. He seemed embarrassed by the attention people were paying to him and it appeared he wanted to be treated just like everybody else. I was impressed by this and it made me like him even more. He and Blake never did get that project off the ground which is sad as the combination of the best comic and the best comedy director would have resulted in a phenomenal movie , in my opinion.
As it turns out I did have a chance to work with him in 1997. I was hired to work on a film called "Father's Day" that starred Robin and Billy Crystal. Ivan Reitman of "Ghostbusters" fame was the director and with such a combo it seemed that it was going to be non-stop laughs from the word go. It was and we all had a great time making the movie. There were some days when we did scenes with a crowd of extras where Robin would be so busy entertaining them that we had trouble actually getting the movie made. It was all great fun, everyone had a great time and I am sad that that was the only project I got to work with him on.
The world has lost one of it's greatest entertainers today. Robin's body of work, that ranged from a goofy alien to a serial killer to a disc jockey to an inspiring teacher to any of the other roles he took for his own has few equals in the pantheon of movie stars. His humanitarian work with Comic Relief points up what a good soul he was behind the scenes also. He was a marvelous human being and we will all miss him. And I will miss a friend and colleague who was kind, generous, and the funniest man I have ever known. Rest well, Robin! You earned it.
Nest Update 6 August 2014 – A Farewell From Firetruck1988
Another season has come and gone at the mnbound nest cam. Dad seemed to have his OSD under control this season and mom is still mom. This season did not go quite as planned as you are all aware. I was really excited when mom laid the the third egg and was saddened when Skye died. You may have noticed that I was not as active as a mod this season as I was last season. This was due to starting a new job back in March that kept me away from the cam and chat several days a week. I plan on spending my time until the cam returns watching sea eagles and the Florida cams. My mod avatars are washed and are now hanging up for the off season. The mod team will gather again when the cam returns sometime early next year. Until then we will stay in touch with each other. I cannot wait to see what surprises mom and dad will have for us next season. Fly free and safe Arky and Dakota keep out of trouble. Until next season this is firetruck1988 signing off good night going 10-8 (available) from mod duty.
Nest Update 5 August 2014 – A Good Bye Until Next Season From Eaglesoarfree
What a privilege it has been to watch our amazing eagle family again this year! Mom and Dad entertained us with many antics….Dad's OSD, stick placement "disagreements", Mom and Dad staring each other down over a couple of tasty fishies! ☺ Then the biggest surprise of all…3 eggs!! A first for this nest! Even though beautiful Skye was only with us for about a week, she will remain in our hearts forever!! She will be the angel that will watch over Arky and Dakota as they soar high and free in the sky!
Arky and Dakota brought us many memorable moments…bonkfests, wingercizing, clown feet, hissy fits, squeefests. We rejoiced as they reached each new milestone…standing up, walking, branching, and finally fledging and growing into the strong, proud, fierce eagles they have become. May you always soar high and free!
I want to thank MNB and BBC for bringing us these incredible views of the nest and the surrounding area with the best cam on the net by far! It was so breathtaking to see the world through the eagles' eyes! BBC's cam gnomes certainly outdid themselves day after day bringing us gorgeous views and we got to see many different wildlife. Talon's blog was such a treat to read when I missed something happening on the nest. His humor, compassion, and love for this eagle family was evident by the dedication he showed by writing the best blog (and picture captions) on the net! Thanks Talon!
Birdbrain and dragonlainey there aren't enough words to express my gratitude for all of your hard work on the vids this season. The wonder and beauty in your vids helped me see what I missed and also will give me something to watch in the off season when I am going through "withdrawls." Your talent and dedication are much appreciated.
Our chatters were once again the absolute best! No matter what the circumstances you always followed our only rule: Be Nice. It was such fun discussing and learning about our eagles but it was also fun to share personal experiences. We became a family because of this amazing nest and I look forward to seeing all of you in the 2015 season!!
Nest Update – 3 August 2014- All Good Things..….Part One
Good Evening, Fellow BaldEagleVidLovers!!!
I have decided to split this final blog into several parts. Tonights portion will be a salute to the fine folks that have labored tirelessly to bring us the highlights of the season and preserve them for us to view as we wait for the cams to come back up on a new nesting season next year. The next parts will be end of the season blogs by the moderators that started the season at MN Bound and ended it with us at For The Love Of Nests and Critters. Then I will try to wrap it all up with my final eagle blog of the season. That's not to say I'll be hiding till next season, it's just I will be discussing more mundane things than eagles in the off season.
Before the season began I was informed by our superb videographer of last year, 989Razzle, that she would not be able to be with us this year as she was moving house and that getting it ready, selling it, finding a new house and actually moving would leave her no time to do vids. She suggested several people to fill in and when I queried them if they could help us out 2 (actually 3) said they would be glad to. Birdbrain56 and Dragonlainey (Rick and Elaine Black) graciously offered their services to help preserve the season for us. As we know Birdbrain had to stop early in the season for personal reasons. We would like to express our extreme gratitude for what she did contribute and that we would be glad to have her back on the team again someday.
As for Dragonlainey what can I say?? They did a marvelous job for us under their own, at times, trying circumstances. At last count I believe they said they were over 400 vids for the season and if you have never done one let me tell you that is one heck of a lot of work and dedication. They were even doing vids for other nests at the same time! They always came through for us and we appreciate each and every video they made. So, THANKS Elaine and Rick, for a job well done!
Elaine has put together a retrospective of the season in 14 parts that are listed here below. They are divided up in categories so find your favorite activity and start there!

Chocolate Fondue, Updated
Does the thought of chocolate fondue conjure up visions of tacky chocolate fountains being stabbed at by guests holding cotton-ball textured strawberries impaled on tiny spears? Not a very appetizing image. Now, consider this updated idea I recently tried at the Scharffen Berger store in San Francisco's Ferry Building: thick chunks of crusty bread dipped into a mixture of warm bittersweet chocolate and creme fraiche and finished with a small pinch of crunchy sea salt. There, feeling better?
At first, I was skeptical when the store clerk at Scharffen Berger offered me a taste of chocolate fondue. But I'm not one to turn down a free sample of chocolate, especially from a chocolatier as revered as Scharffen Berger. Plus, as a food blogger, I had an obligation to say yes. (That's right, I did it for you!) Needless to say, I was very very happy I did.
What set this apart from the icky fondues of my past was first and foremost the quality of chocolate. Scharffen Berger uses their 70% Bittersweet chocolate, mixed with butter, creme fraiche and vanilla. The piece of crusty bread for dipping added texture and introduced that wonderful taste pairing of chocolate and yeast (think chocolate croissant.) But of course, what really put this over the top was the sprinkle of sea salt which made the chocolate taste even more intense. Chocolate fondue, all grown-up.
It's not hard to reproduce this at home. Scharffen Berger has a great recipe on their site. You don't even need a fondue pot (although they are kind of fun.) Place the fondue in the middle of the table in a heavy bowl or even the pot it was made in. Then just tear up a loaf of crusty bread and pass little bowls of flakey sea salt (I like Maldon.) The tiny spears are optional.
Get the recipe: Chocolate Fondue from the Scharffen Berger website.

Welcome to Doom Charts, representing some of the finest bloggers, radio and podcasters and album reviewers from the doom-stoner underground around the globe. Each month, our critics submit their picks for the best new doom-sludge metal and stoner-psychedelic rock albums. The results are compiled and tabulated into the chart below. This is a one-stop shop for the best new albums in the world.
As we roll into October and the weather slowly changes for the worst we find ourselves being treated once again to a new edition of the Doom Chart. The list containing all the hot albums of the past and upcoming month. Last month had saw Kadavar peaking at the Number One spot. Are they still there or has a gust of wind blown the band away? Find out for yourself and head on over to the Doom Chart!
Spoiler alert for Number 18
On Number 18 we find an instrumental masterpiece full of intricate details and overwhelming accuracy. Like a high prized Swiss clock it turns and shifts and balances out at the exact right moment every time again. The time-umbrella concept really feels like an righteous adventure, and thanks to all the minutiae you keep discovering all kinds of little musical trinkets with every new listening session. Yes, Glowsun outdid themselves this time around and the band definitely deserves their moment of glory…

Mavic's Aksium wheels have always impressed us. For the money, we're hard-pressed to find any other wheels equal to the abuse that we actually throw at training wheels, year after year, spring after spring. Given that it bears the same name, we know we shouldn't be surprised by the Aksium Elite Helmet's versatility and low weight, but what we still are.
The helmet incorporates several of the features that set apart Mavic's more expensive helmets. The exhaustive cranial mapping, the Elite Fit Pad, The Ergo Hold Retention System — all are present here. The Aksium Elite does have one big omission when compared to the Ksyrium Elite, though: 25g of claimed weight. In a rare coup for the Aksium name, the helmet manages to outpace its Ksyrium counterpart on the scale. We suspect the weight difference owes to the Ksyrium model's more aggressive aerodynamic shaping, but anyone strapping the Aksium Elite on at the bottom of an alpine climb will appreciate those missing grams.

So far so good!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This helmet is very lightweight, well ventilated and fits great! No complaints yet!
Not the color
I order the color 1976/black and is not the same in the picture, i reseve a red helmet, I return immediatly.
Love this helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Feather lite for the price with great venting. I could not be happier!

I have a Roland C-330 organ which I use with HW only (not with the organ internal sounds, only as a console), and I also have a Kontakt 5 with a Stainway grand sample. So instead of starting HW I start Kontakt 5 and select the Grand pianos sample, until here everything is ok, but when playing a key no sound out of the system unless I strike the key with an unusual force, like to strike with a hammer. The roland is key sensitive and in the menu I have the following
Velocity value
The keyboard's velocity will be used
The specified value will be used as the velocity.
Does any one know what can I do to play the piano sound on this keyboard, as if it was a normal piano keyboard ?.
I can't find the solution myself so Thank you for your help.

He Said Marriage Isn't For Him, & She Can't Change Him
Dear Veronica,
I just read the entirety of your hub on men who say they
aren't ready for marriage. Read a few others too.
Ready for my saga? Ok, here I go, trying to keep it short.
The stats: I am 27 and he turns 40 this year. We've been together 4 years and lived together for 3.5 of them.
I'm ready for engagement/marriage and he is not (I've been ready for more than a bit). The last time we had a sit down serious talk about it his reasons were two-fold. (1) He grew up in a small town where everyone got married at 19 and had babies and stayed in that tiny small town forever. He considers himself the antithesis of this small town and never considered marriage something he needed. He also grew up around a lot of bad marriages. I basically su m up this reason as "he has a bad opinion of marriage." (2) His family situation is messy. Are they invited to the wedding? Which ones? What will the repercussions be if none/some are invited?
This conversation was about a year ago. Some amazing things have happened on the family front where relations have been patched and overall I think it would be fine at this point if they all were invited. No scenes would happen and people would be happy. I have no idea what is going on with the other issue though. His attitudes on marriage I can't change, I can only tell him that marriage is important to me, very important.
We have animals together and a joint lease. I have the money to get married at any time, and would be willing to pay for the whole thing, although I don't think he'd let me. (I wasn't specifically saving for a wedding, we could just as easily use that money for a house, but we live in an expensive area so we may never own a house!) He tells me verbally all the time that he wants to be with me forever. He treats me very well and we hardly ever argue. Our relationship is great, it's easy, and it makes us both happy. Even though I'd really like to be engaged now and married in the next 1-2 years, I'm still happy most of the time.
I thought it was interesting one of his reasons was basically,"marriage isn't for me" but his second reason was "what's going to happen at the reception?!" To me it indicates that he has at least contemplated us getting married and what our wedding would be like, enough that he mentioned it to me as a reason for not getting married. Sorta doesn't go with the first reason.
It's probably about the time to have another serious talk, I suppose. I try to limit them to once or twice a year so as not to be a nag, and it's been a year.
Interested in your thoughts!!
Dear Waiting,
Thinking about what he'd do at a wedding he doesn't want to be in, shouldn't be the focus. Let's focus on the real issue. We don't have to guess at his feelings on getting married at all. He could not have been clearer.
He says, "Marriage isn't for me."
You said marriage is important to you, yet you got involved with a man pushing 40 who knows what he wants, who doesn't want to get married. Three and a half years of living together, you've become the eternal girlfriend of a man who has clearly said he doesn't want to get married.
Your letter is written in such a way that asks, now what should you do to continue on your path of denying what he wants and trying to change him.
He's 40. His age matters because at his age, a man is pretty clearly developed. He knows what he wants. It's not like a 21 year old making a statement about something he can't actually know yet. A young man in his early 20's may develop, live, learn, establish his life, and discover that in 5 or 10 years he feels differently about relationships. It's not out of the question.
A man in his late 30's on the other hand, pretty much knows who he is, what he wants, what he can do, and what his life is going to be.
Confusing his aversion to having a wedding with his not wanting to get married isn't helping.
Here's an example.
If I watched the movie Open Water with you, and I said I would never ever want to be abandoned like that by a ship in the ocean. And then I said, "And, omg why didn't she poke at the shark's eyes? They say the eye is so vulnerable."
Would you say, well if she's thinking about the shark's eyes in the water then surely that's a contradiction, and she DOES possibly want to be abandoned by a ship in the ocean.
He's been clear about not wanting to get married from the beginning. But you chose to be involved with him. You even moved in after only 6 months, and stayed for 3 ½ years.
The relationship sounds good: having a joint lease, responsibilities together, a nice life where he reassures you of his feelings and his desire to be with you in the future. Many women would be jealous. The only issue is that "once or twice a year" you bring up this major complete life change that he let you know early on he was not going to pursue. Notice he isn't asking you once or twice a year, have you changed your mind and given up on this marriage thing and come to his way of thinking yet.
Talk to him. That doesn't mean try again to change him on what he's clearly told you. It means, see if the two of you can find an acceptable compromise.
A Commitment Ceremony with some or all of your friends might let you plan the big day without the legal document. Having legalities addressed with Wills, Power of Attorney, joint accounts and other arrangements can be made fairly easily if that's a good compromise for both of you.
If you can't compromise on what you want, it should be a major indicator for you about why he doesn't want to completely change on what he wants.
You're going to have to accept the fact that just as he stated clearly in the beginning, marriage isn't for him. He is not going to marry you. Since you've spent 3 1/2 years being the eternal girlfriend and proving to him that you'll be there even though he isn't marrying you, you are going to have to make some drastic changes.
Without ultimatums, just the way he has been clear with his desires without giving you ultimatums, you have to be clear with him. Tell him this isn't the relationship you want. Tell him you need to begin separating belongings, and money, and leases, and pets. You need to go. Set a calendar of events for this departure. It shouldn't involve any anger, since he's done nothing wrong. Tell him you'll being looking for a new place, or that he has to. Tell him one of you needs to be out by the first of March. Begin the packing, and the separating. Be nice. Be sad. Be communicative. But be focused. And don't be mad.
If there is a chance in hell that he is going to change his mind, it will only be when you've followed through. Follow your clear path on the way to what you want. Seeing you smiling but sad, leaving to pursue what you want out of life will show him he can't have his cake and eat it too. He has to shit or get off the pot. He has to re-evaluate what he wants right away. Does he still want not to get married. Or does he want you.
Keep focused on two facts:
1 - He only has two options. He can have his life married with you, or, he can have his life unmarried without you. There is no third choice. The one you're living right now is that third choice. You have to take that off the table completely. If you back slide and let him have you unmarried, you've blown it. You have to follow through.
2 – If he really is debating changing his mind on marriage because he doesn't want to lose you, the way you behave through this is going to make or break it. You can reinforce that you are someone he should want to be around. Remind him of how funny you are, how easy to live with, how much he enjoys himself when he's around you.
Or you could be mad at him for something that isn't his fault, fight scream throw tantrums and be a bitch. It shouldn't be hard to guess that if you behave like a bitch, he will say to himself, "See? I don't want to get married!" It will be hard not to take your feelings out on him. But he really didn't do anything wrong. He didn't mislead you. You can't be mad at him because you couldn't change him. You made a bad choice. Suck it up. Be on your best behavior. It might make all the difference.
But don't hold your breath. Separate from him for you, not because you think it will make him do something he doesn't want to do. If you want to be married, you deserve to be married. Next time, listen. Don't get involved with someone that is telling you they aren't going to marry you.

If you have a relationship question, email it to me, maybe I can help.
I believe better for you to leave him if he still not wants to get marry.
Hi Veronica,
Thanks for your lengthy response. I probably left something out of my story. He used to talk about marrying me. A lot. The first year we were together, when we were both in that deeply in love irrational place. He said I was the first person that ever made him want to get married, etc. He said we should run off to Reno, etc.
Of course this information doesn't necessarily change anything if he's now come out of the clouds and gotten back to how he really feels about marriage. Just, I suppose, defending my 22-year old self that didn't know he was anti-marriage. And my 23-year old self. My 24 year old self found out though...
I never wanted to be the kind of person that tries to change someone else. We've always been a compromise type of couple. I'm open to the idea of a commitment ceremony, some legal paperwork giving each of us rights, just getting rings, some combination of these, etc, but so far he isn't so I've let it go.
Hopefully what I'm about to say isn't a terrible idea, and I'm not filtering what you've said the way I want to hear it the way I've seen others. I think it might be good for us to talk about marriage one more time. I lay it all out. Why it's important to me, why I want it, why it would make me happy. I'll acknowledge that he may never want to marry me (he makes a point of saying "I never say never") and after this conversation I'm going to push marriage out of my mind. I will not bring it up as a serious topic again. The ball is in his court and I know it's a very small ball and I won't be expecting or waiting for anything. Being with him is more important than being married. Of those choices you gave? I'd rather be unmarried with him than without him. And I'm going to tell him that. (Some might say that's dumb, then he for sure would never marry me, but it's the truth, so why withhold it? I like removing all the pressure.) It's time for me to let go. If he changes, he changes, but it may never happen and it's not worth clouding my brain with any negativity. He's a really amazing person and we're lucky just to have found each other.
I'm going to save this conversation for a few months from now I think. We have too much going on right now and I want him to be relaxed. He doesn't even have to say anything, just listen. =)
Thanks again for making a hub for my question. I enjoy reading them!

The genomics research community is facing a time of tremendous opportunity and challenge as it deals with the increasing amounts of data produced by ever improving technology platforms. The vast amounts of data of diverse types (sequence, expression, epigenetic, RNAi screens, etc.) offer the prospect of integrating different views of biological states, and the promise of a deeper mechanistic understanding. However, such integration is out of reach for most biologists. The increasing need to use multiple sophisticated computational methods and tools to gain insights from the wealth of available data poses a major barrier. The number of computational tools and methods has also grown quickly over the past few years increasing the difficulty of finding the appropriate ones to use and getting them to work easily together. As a result, many biologists rely on the few tools they may already be accustomed to and thus are unable to take advantage of more advanced approaches that could transform biomedical research. In this Program Project we propose to tackle the challenge of integrative genomic analysis by leveraging the power of new methods for sharing data and applications that are appearing on the World Wide Web in other domains. We will develop GenomeSpace, a modular and extensible computational environment where a wide range of analytical methods and tools can interoperate and be made accessible to biologists. GenomeSpace will be a community-driven site where tool developers can easily share their methods and users can adopt and use them. Thus, while tools will continue their independent development efforts and retain their own look and feel, they will also be able to interoperate with a wealth of other methods, tools, and genomics resources. We will drive the GenomeSpace development in two ways. Six successful and popular software packages (Genomica, GenePattern, (Cytoscape, the Integrative Genomics Viewer, Galaxy, and the UCSC Genome Browser) will seed GenomeSpace with the capability for integrative genomic analysis, while guiding the development of the infrastructure to ensure the widest range of architectures and applications can participate. Three Driving Biological Projects - in cancer genomics, epigenomics, and hematopoiesis - will test the ability of GenomeSpace to perform important analyses in the context of real biological problems. Together, they will ensure we provide unprecedented accessibility for computational analysis for genomics data, thus transforming integrative genomics analysis and biomedical research.
The GenomeSpace community Web environment will put the universe of genomic analysis tools within the reach of all biomedical researchers. Through the integrative analysis of genomic data from diverse sources and types, GenomeSpace users will be able to address a variety of problems at the forefront of biomedical research including patient diagnosis and prognosis, identification of new drug targets, and understanding biological mechanisms.

What does your PLN look like? What does it do for you teaching?
Many of the long-term projects we were involved in were incredibly valuable but difficult to sustain once they were finished and we moved on to the next one. There had to be a better way to sustain the excitement we'd built up and the changes we'd made. We also needed to be able to have a way that supported new staff into these changes or they would be easily lost.
My PLN had been the source of sustainability for me. New Zealand educators are fantastic at creating and sustaining online PLNs so I've taken this idea along with my learning about Communities of Practice and turned it into my research. Ownership of the learning is key and leads to motivation, excitement and engagement about learning. These ideas are adaptable for all ages, especially our students but that's a whole other story, and research focus!
So what does my PLN look like?
It is everything to my learning and teaching. Some people might be surprised by the inclusion of my students but they are an incredibly important part and a conversation a few years ago when we were setting up their individual blogs taught me a valuable lesson.
We were adding their individual blogs to the sidebar of the class blog and they asked why mine wasn't on there. I said to them that I didn't think they'd need mine on there and that they may not understand what I was writing about. Not my smartest assumption. Their reply, (they were 9 and 10 year-olds):
"We might not understand it all the time but you're a learner too and it should be on there."
This was so true so it is on there and quite a few of the students are still followers of the blog and I receive comments / questions from them. The power of Student Voice can never be underestimated.
My initial research on Communities of Practice for teacher professional learning has lead to the following presentation. It's just initial research at this stage but I want to change what we do and how we learn and our PLNs are a powerful way to do it.

Report: Dos Anjos-McGregor, Holm-Tate Title Bouts Set for UFC 197 in Las Vegas
UFC 197 is shaping up to be an event to remember.
Multiple outlets are reporting that the March pay-per-view event will feature a pair of blockbuster title bouts, as Rafael dos Anjos will defend the lightweight strap against Conor McGregor, while Holly Holm will face Miesha Tate for bantamweight gold. UFC 197 is expected to take place in Las Vegas on March 5 after originally being announced for Rio de Janeiro. Bleacher Report on Thursday first brought word of the card, although the UFC has yet to confirm the bookings.
Related » Opinion: Calling Shots and Breaking Promises with McGregor vs. Dos Anjos
After capturing the lightweight strap with a lopsided five-round verdict over Anthony Pettis at UFC 185, dos Anjos made his first defense in emphatic fashion, as he stopped Donald Cerrone in just 66 seconds in the UFC on Fox 17 headliner on Dec. 19. The Kings MMA product has won 10 of his last 11 bouts in the Octagon.
McGregor capped off a memorable 2015 at UFC 194 with a 13-second knockout of reigning featherweight king Jose Aldo. The "Notorious" Irishman, who is arguably the Las Vegas-based promotion's fastest rising star, expressed a desire to become a two-division champion following his win over Aldo while adding that he has no plans to vacate the 145-pound belt.
Holm pulled off a shocking upset at UFC 193 when she scored a technical knockout triumph over Ronda Rousey 59 seconds into round two of their headlining clash in Melbourne on Nov. 14. The Jackson-Wink MMA member was initially expected to defend the belt in a rematch with Rousey, but UFC President Dana White on Wednesday revealed that Holm would fight a different opponent before facing Rousey again.
Tate, who came up short in her first bid for the bantamweight strap against Rousey at UFC 168, has won four straight fights since that defeat. Most recently, "Cupcake" took a unanimous decision triumph over Jessica Eye at UFC on Fox 16 in July.
