Had To…
I often say we are who we are today because of the total thoughts, actions, habits we've done over time in our lives.
Everyday is a new day and we are a new person, but at the same time, we also have to deal with our old self. When we allow the old self to rule, we will follow our feelings instead of operating in self-control. Self-control is a fruit of our new nature, and all we need to do is develop it. We can develop self-control by using it, just as we can develop muscles by using them.
Exercising self-control is a form of freedom. You don't have to do what you feel like doing. You're free to do what you know is wise. Discipline and self-control will help you be the person you want to be. Don't ever say, "I just don't have any self-control," because the truth is that you do have it, but it needs to be exercised in order to be strong.
Our recent Progression NOT Perfection challenge had a TON of great example of participants operating in self control. Here is one…
I think I will start by saying the challenge was as much mental as it was physical. Meal planning and organizing grocery trips was tough but the actual meal prep and cooking in batches big enough so that we could have compliant leftovers required a big change to our eating routine! My wife and I have never planned meals out for a week or done much in the way of crockpot meals/casseroles. We'd often make choices with convenience in mind; picking up fast food or ordering pizza was a common occurrence, we knew it wasn't healthy, but with two young boys we thought it was what we had time for.
I could tell you what a healthy meal looked like, what I might eat if I only ever had the time to make it… Shocking to me was that for the entire challenge we ate compliant and ate all but three meals at home (two at Ode and one at Pappy's). I used to drink diet mt. dew like water and now I drink water like its water and damn if I've had one caffeine headache from my San Pallegrino. I've often wondered what all our Tupperware and food storage containers were for and wouldn't you know it, veggies, meat, salads, potatoes, even berries all fit really nice and make packing lunches for hospital shifts really easy! I'm sure everyone that has done a whole30 has read the line, "it's not that I can't have something (ice cream, alcohol, a whole loaf of cinnamon raisin bread) it's that I'm choosing not to." and that self-empowering concept, that I'm in control of my food choices and that good food nourishes my whole self, body and mind, is something I am thankfully taking away from the challenge and carrying forward on this fitness journey.
The hardest part of the challenge was talking myself into doing it. Chris texted me about setting up a nutrition meeting, which I'd been putting off for months because I knew that I wasn't making good choices and didn't want to hear it from someone else, and he mentioned the upcoming challenge. I joked back, "what's the challenge? Who can eat the least?" I was being a smart*ss, I also didn't know how wrong I would be about the portions! It took me until the last day to sign up. I told myself, if I really do this challenge I have to make it an investment in myself; so I gave Annie $60 in cash so that I had a real, tangible moment in which I committed myself to making a change.
I'm a 3x/week member and with work, my family, jobs around the house I had been making excuses since September, when I joined CPM, as to why I couldn't always make it to all 3 classes any given week. With the flexibility of only going 3 times a week I would cherry-pick my workouts and skip a day if the workout looked too difficult or daunting. So to make it to 4x/week, no more excuses. I had to go workout everyday I wasn't working at the hospital, had to juggle my boys with my wife's schedule, had to get out of bed at some ungodly hour like 6am and make my way to the Western Mall knowing that I'd never get my boys to nap at the same time and let me make up my missed sleep. For the first week or two it was a lot of "had" to's but as the challenge continued I started seeing all the things I "got" to do. I got to see results from the workouts and in the way my clothes were fitting, got to cook for and with my family lots of new recipes and foods, and got to wake up with more clarity and energy. The workouts have gotten better, not easier. I surprise myself with new PR lifts, faster rowing/running, longer stretches of double unders without misses, better form/technique, and shorter breaks to catch my breath. The challenge was Progress not Perfection…in 5 weeks I've seen a lot of progress and I can't wait to see what happens going forward!
Great job Dan "the man" Lindquist

Thursday, March 29, 2007I wish I was in a better state to write this, but meh, I've been awake for a very long time now, I'm supposed to be graduating from college today and my alarm is going to ring in about 2 hours. I'm currently drinking camomile tea to at least get me sleeping, and then come 7am I'm so heading to Starbucks.
This whole week has been surprisingly fun. I got my feedback on the week last night and it was all positive. They even said that in 6 months time I should think about fasttracking it to SFS. Never really thought about it to be honest, and before I get ahead of myself I have to keep remembering that they're desperate for SFS's. So yeah what was supposed to make me feel special is something else.
The one disappointing thing about college is that in economy class training you get to sample the food in the mock up. They must assume that we're all dieting in the Premium Cabins because I hardly ate anything that wasn't in the cafeteria. I think I had 2 teaspoons of Umm Ali and that was it. So upset :-(
Just to update other matters - the promo job I had went well, got paid 3.5hrs pay for doing 5 minutes of standing around. And on the romance front I think things have fizzled with my Greek spunk. He keeps promising to come over here and it never happens. Unless I see him in person here then I'm not going to get any more involved. Meanwhile, there was a pilot I wrote about before (I might have edited the post, for fear of him reading what I wrote) who keeps SMSing me. We're hopefully going to go dune biking. Considering how tragic I am behind the wheel of any vehicle this should make for a very interesting day.
Until then, will be off to my Graduation, and then to Sydney...

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- Don't bother checking Expedia.com for a holiday flight via US Airways.
The carrier announced it has made the "difficult but necessary decision" to stop using Expedia as a sales agent after the seller raised the booking fee it charges consumer to purchase US Airways tickets from $5 to $8.99. The Expedia booking fee for other airlines remains at $5, the company said.
In the US Airways UAIR news release, the carrier indicated Expedia raised the fee in lieu of the airline agreeing to advertise on the site. The company also sent e-mail to its frequent fliers saying the Expedia move "unfairly puts our customers in the middle of discussions with Expedia about its desire to significantly increase the commission it charges US Airways for selling our tickets." Expedia is owned by InterActiveCorp IACI, +0.00%
Coke to sell "pop" online
Coca Cola Music 2004 will debut next month, offering United Kingdom consumers a Coke-branded online music store. The Web site, MyCokeMusic.com, says more than 250,000 tracks will be available at a price of about $1.20 each. The move into online music sales has less to do with making money than associating the brand with what's new and cool, Reuters reported. The beverage company KO, +1.17% will also sponsor an "official" weekly report of the most popular music downloads.
Pressure on e-music prices
Prices have to fall if the online music business is going to go mainstream and be profitable, according to comments heard at IHollywood Forum's Music 2.0 conference in Los Angeles. Music companies, however, say they can't afford to drop prices. Ipsos-Insight, a research firm, reported consumers thought $7.99 was the most attractive price for a digital-music album. Current pricing is generally $9.99. One student said at 99 cents a song for online music, she'd be more likely to buy a CD. Several other students on the panel agreed with the sentiment, one adding, "If it's 30 cents I would buy it." An executive from Apple Computer AAPL, +0.62% reported its ITunes Music Store has sold about 20 million songs since its launch in May, CNet reported.
Yahoo prices broadband bundle aggressively
Yahoo's new package of services and content for broadband subscribers could be tough competition for similar offerings from Microsoft MSFT, +1.50% and America Online TWX, -28.57% At $5.95 a month, Yahoo Plus undercuts AOL for Broadband ($14.95/month) and MSN's expected Premium ($9.95/month). The Yahoo YHOO offering includes additional e-mail accounts, online storage, commercial-free Internet radio and video news, sports and entertainment programming. "Consumers moving to broadband often revisit their existing Internet service relationships, and are looking for a range of new options," said Jim Brock, senior vice president of Communications and Consumer Services. "No other company can match the breadth of (our) tools and services," Brock said.
Holidays will boost online music sales
Online music stores and services, along with portable music players, will be big hits for online merchants this year, according to David Card, an analyst at Jupiter Research. "They're not quite this season's DVD player, but they will be a strong holiday shopping combination," he said. Card added his research suggests shipments of MP3 players will almost double this year to 3.5 million units, and grow 50 percent for the next three years. By 2006, there will be 26 million players in consumers' hands, "establishing a critical mass of users that will help spur digital music sales," he said.

Pension providers say they will look to force all fund managers to publish transaction costs, regardless of whether they are signed up to the Investment Management Association's voluntary disclosure rules.
Earlier this month the Association of British Insurers announced plans to improve the disclosure of costs and charges.
It said transaction cost publication would be based on voluntary IMA disclosure rules, leading shadow pensions minister Gregg McClymont to raise concerns the costs would only be available if the underlying fund managers were signed up to the IMA code.
So far, 14 pension providers have signed up to the new ABI standards, due to be implemented next summer for new automatic enrolment schemes and by 31 December 2015 for older schemes.
ABI director of life, savings and protection Stephen Gay says: "The commitment to disclose transaction costs will not be dependent on adoption of the IMA's code by fund managers.
"The providers who have signed the ABI code will simply ask fund managers to disclose transaction costs to them.
"Our members have an ongoing relationship with all fund managers they use and we would expect those managers to take very seriously any request made of them."
Keyte Ltd director Robin Keyte says: "Clear disclosure of transaction costs is crucial because they can be significant.
"But this is not going to be straightforward and we still do not know exactly how clearly the providers are going to display this information."
An IMA spokeswoman says: "We welcome the ABI's endorsement of our guidance and look forward to working with them to improve consistency and transparency for pension scheme members."

Wrongful-arrest lawsuit settled in pizzeria death
March 11, 2004
A New Baltimore man wrongly jailed for six months in the 2000 slaying of a teenage pizzeria worker says a $300,000-plus settlement of his civil suit against police will help him start a new life -- but it won't end his family's nightmares or stop the accusing stares that follow him.
And while the settlement is about to change Jonathon Kaled's life, legal experts said the suit's outcome won't affect how police handle interrogations and false confessions.
Kaled, now 21, acknowledged Wednesday that some people still feel he played a role in the October 2000 slaying of 16-year-old Justin Mello, who was shot execution-style while working at Mancino's Pizza & Grinders in New Baltimore.
He has denied the allegations for more than three years and said he's lived with constant fear since his April 2001 release from the Macomb County Jail.
"I don't want to see anyone here," he said of his hometown. "I get a nauseating feeling, especially at dark driving through New Baltimore."
With his settlement, he plans to buy a house in another town, he said, and start a business.
Kaled was arrested a week after Mello was killed.
He and codefendant Frank Kuecken confessed in written and oral statements. They quickly recanted, saying overzealous police officers coerced them.
They were held in jail for six months based on the confessions. Ultimately, the 9mm gun used to kill Mello was discovered with two other Anchor Bay-area men who have since been charged with his death.
A third New Baltimore man, Matthew Daniels, also had been arrested. Charges were dismissed for lack of evidence. Daniels, then 16, also filed a suit in federal court, but most of the counts have been dismissed, said his lawyer, David Steingold.
Brian Kutinsky, Kaled's lawyer in the civil suit, said the settlement is a victory.
"It was a long, rocky road," he said Tuesday.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit, alleged that the officers interviewing Kaled violated his constitutional rights. Some of the counts were dismissed, but, in a July opinion filed by U.S. District Judge Lawrence Zatkoff, two remained -- conspiracy to violate state and federal law and substantive violations of the Constitution.
The officers had appealed the judge's opinion, asking that all charges be dismissed. In the meantime, the sides settled, Kutinsky said.
Kuecken, 20, who was fatally stabbed in October 2001, had filed a separate suit. His and Kaled's suits were combined.
Paul Stablein, a Royal Oak lawyer who represents Kuecken's estate, said he expects to know whether the estate will receive a settlement within a few weeks.
Martin Bugbee, a former detective sergeant with the Michigan State Police, was named in the suit. Shanon Akans, spokeswoman for the Michigan State Police, said she was not familiar with the case and could not comment.
Other defendants include Dwayne Borowicz and Charles Esser of the New Baltimore Police Department. Lawyers for them could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Legal experts said such settlements can't be considered a victory because they typically don't assign guilt.
"I don't think that anyone is going to recognize anything stemming from that settlement other than the plaintiff," said Southfield lawyer David A. Robinson, a former Detroit officer who now handles police misconduct cases.
Defense lawyer Steve Fishman agreed: "If it is a high-profile crime, my guess is that officers will continue to do whatever they feel they need to do to 'solve' the crime."
The men charged in Mello's death, David Baumann and Dennis Bryan, are awaiting trial in Florida for the slaying of a Subway employee.
Kaled's mother, Cheryl Stepnioski, said, "It's been a long haul for the whole family. For Jon, it's a way for him to move on."

Liberal books unaudited, Harper charges
Today in Parliament the Tories exposed Liberals regarding their "audits." Perhaps some of the parliament IP's that I have had visit my site read these two articles that I wrote over the weekend :
Were the Liberal Party's finances "audited"? (part 1)
Were the Liberal Party's finances "audited"? (part 2)
From the Globe and Mail: (excerpts)
Ottawa — Conservative Leader Stephen Harper suggested Tuesday in the House of Commons that full audits were never done on the Liberal Party's books with regard to the sponsorship inquiry.
"It [the government] claimed full audits were done on the Liberal Party's books to find dirty sponsorship money. This is not true. Pricewaterhouse Coopers even states emphatically that what they did does not constitute an audit. Will the Prime Minister admit that an audit was never done, only reviews?"
"So let me ask the moral authority [an ironic reference to the Prime Minister], Pricewaterhouse Coopers says that what they're doing here do not constitute an audit. Deloitte says our services were engaged to perform a forensic accounting review. No audits. Will the Prime Minister admit that, contrary to what the government has told Canadians, they never performed an audit?, Mr. Harper asked.
"Yet the Prime Minister, a former finance minister, had the nerve to pretend this was a real audit. Now we learn of money laundering, extortion, kickbacks, bribes, envelopes of money. No wonder the Prime Minister was frantically waving around his whitewash audit," Ms. Ablonczy said.
From CTV:
Conservatives attack Liberals over 'audits'
"Not only were these not full audits, but the Liberal Party refused to supply the accountants with all the necessary documentation," Harper said.
"According to Deloitte and Touche, they were forced to rely on the Liberal Party for the accuracy of the information," the Conservative leader said to laughs from his caucus.
On the weekend, Public Works Minister Scott Brison told CTV's Question Period that an "audit" had been performed on the Liberal Party's books and that no irregularities were found.
In response to Harper on Tuesday, Brison quoted from the Deloitte and Touche report: "We made sure to obtain detailed supported documents for every amount deposited in the Liberal Party accounts in the period covered by this mandate."
Harper continued his attack, saying the Liberals set the rules for what transactions were examined.
"That didn't include any money to riding associations, which is where the sponsorship money was funneled," he said.
When Calgary Conservative MP Diane Ablonczy tried to continue the line of questioning, she was shut down by Speaker Peter Milliken.
Earlier, Harper had said the accounting firms themselves admitted they never performed an audit.

Stavolta abbiamo rischiato di brutto!
"I would rather eat my own testicles than reform The Smiths, and that's saying something for a vegetarian." e "Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am"), la conferma e' arrivata anche da Johnny Marr: "I don't really want to get into figures, but yes, I was made an offer for the Smiths to reform at Coachella, I was also offered twice as much for us to play in New York, Hyde Park and God knows where else."

Grove City High School girls basketball coach Dale Corbett believes his team is prepared to challenge the top squads in the OCC-Ohio Division.
Grove City High School girls basketball coach Dale Corbett believes his team is prepared to challenge the top squads in the OCC-Ohio Division.
Although the Greyhounds lost two key players from a year ago to graduation in guard Miranda Frase and center Kristen Mesler, Corbett is excited about his team's potential and thinks it's ready to close the gap in the league standings.
Last season, Grove City went 8-14 overall and 2-12 in the league to finish seventh behind champion Reynoldsburg (12-2) and Gahanna (11-3).
"I think we can beat some people," said Corbett, whose team opens Monday, Dec. 2, at Central Crossing and begins league play Dec. 5 as host to Reynoldsburg. "We're better. We're more athletic than what we've been. We can shoot pretty well and on a good night we can give some people problems."
The top returnee is 5-foot-11 senior forward Bree Kilgus, who led the team in scoring last season at 8.4 points per game.
"We're more optimistic than last year and the year before because we're getting better team chemistry, so we're working better together," Kilgus said. "We lost some really good seniors, but we have a couple good freshmen and other people are stepping up this year, so we're looking to improve."
Senior guard Jen Draper (5-7) returns after deciding not to play last season. As a sophomore, she was special mention all-league.
"It's nice to have (Draper) back," Corbett said. "She belongs on the floor."
Also expected to contend for starting spots are senior forwards Michaela Antrobus (5-8) and Megan Darst (5-10) and 5-10 junior guard Kayla Mitchell.
"When Kayla is hot shooting the ball, she can carry a team," Corbett said.
He said 5-10 freshman guard Gina Conti also should contribute.
Senior guard Jordan Sargent (5-6), junior guard Cayla Maddy (5-5) and sophomore guard Ally Hutchison (5-4) also return.
Juniors Kaycee Damron (5-3, guard) and Tabitha Reid (6-2, center) round out the team.
"We're more athletic and our offense has been the strength all preseason, and all of a sudden we can't throw it in the ocean," Corbett said after a scrimmage against Dublin Jerome on Nov. 16. "Offense is one of those things that are correctible. As long as you play good defense, you're going to be OK and our defense has been pretty good."
Last season, Frase averaged 8.0 points and was special mention all-league and Mesler averaged 7.1 rebounds and was honorable mention all-league.
Corbett expects Reynoldsburg and Gahanna again to be the favorites in what he hopes will be a competitive league.
"You can't do anything about it and you're not going to sit there and apologize, but it is a very good division," Corbett said.
Last season, Reynoldsburg and Gahanna reached regional semifinals.
"We just want to improve as a team and just get better every game we go out there," Kilgus said.

It's unknown how long a woman, whose car rolled off an embankment in Sydney's west, had been inside the vehicle before police found the wreckage.
The woman's body was discovered about midday on Monday near Elizabeth Drive in Cecil Hills, after a vehicle was noticed in bushland.
It comes as police in northern NSW investigate the death of man, who was reportedly intoxicated and sped away from officers, then crashed his car into a pole in Murwillumbah.

I'm especially proud to be an Episcopalian today, after the confirmation of Gene Robinson as bishop of New Hampshire, the first openly gay bishop on Anglican history. All very exciting, the more so for happening right here in Minneapolis. As you'll see from the story there were a couple of 11th hour allegations made against him, but they were investigated and found to be baseless, and his nomination was successfully passed.
From what I've heard he is definitely the best qualified for the job, and it's a great message to the community about what our church believes and who they welcome and minister to. It would have been a great shame to have to tell people that they had to hide who they were, how they are made, for the sake of appeasing a conservative minority and against the spirit of reconciliation, hope and caring.

Population Europe, the network of Europe's leading demographic research centres, just released a new policy briefing on Social Inequalities in Mortality - The Increasing Advantage of the Married. Among its key messages, the briefing shows how married individuals live longer than the non-married, and in Norway and some other countries, this mortality gap has become larger over recent decades. Among the never-married in Norway, mortality did not fall over the last decades of the 20th century, and in 2005-08, mortality was as high for them as it was for the married three decades earlier.
The increasing mortality disadvantage of the non-married is particularly alarming in light of the large size of this population group. The group will probably become even larger over the next decades, although this is likely accompanied by an increasing proportion of cohabitants among the non-married, which may diminish their excess mortality compared to the married. Should attempts be made to improve the health situation for the non-married in particular, better knowledge about the reasons for their disadvantage would be very helpful.

This novel I am actually quite excited to share about, because The Way We Live Now is a satirical tirade upon society written by Anthony Trollope, and considered to be one of his masterpieces.
I first heard of this book when surfing through period drama movies on Amazon, and upon seeing the BBC movie cover with Matthew MacFadyen and David Suchet, I was immediately curious to learn if it was an actual book. It was, I found, and I promptly put it on hold at the library, in December of 2010. Unfortunately, having a injurious habit of checking out more books than I can possibly read, simply to enjoy their company, I didn't have time to read it throughout the whole nine weeks I had it. And it wasn't until December of 2011 that I checked it out again.
In a way, I am glad. In December of 2010, I did not enjoy the process of constructive evaluation that can be enjoyed when reading a story. I would have either thrown it aside, as of little value, or not evaluated it as properly and thoroughly as I should. But by December 2011 I was much more ready--or should I say willing--to do this, with the result that I discovered a treasure that ranks with my top favorites.
Proceed, and you shall discover why.
Trollope and His Work
Bullied and snubbed at the high-brow schools he attended, Trollope contemplated suicide at the age of 12. Fortunately for the literary world, in the case of this book at least, he overcame the impulse. Fortunately also, he created vivid imaginary play worlds in his times of daydreaming. Francis Trollope, his father, fled to Belgium due to a failing legal practice and creditor's threats, where his wife and children joined him, and Anthony took a clerkship in a post office, beginning to rack up debts of his own. In 1841, at the age of 26, he volunteered for a transferal to an office in Ireland, where he met his future wife, Rose, and married her in 1844. Due to the long train rides necessary to his duties as postal clerk, he developed a disciplined writing routine, and began in earnest to perfect the talent that he had already begun before his marriage. After writing several novels based in Ireland, and the first of his Barsetshire Novels from an inspirational trip to England, he returned to England with another postal position in 1859, along with his family. After a varied nine years of his postal duties, and writing short stories and novels, he resigned his position in the postal service to run for a seat in the House of Commons. He finished last of four candidates. Continuing to focus on his career as an author, in 1871 he travelled to Australia, both to visit his son and to collect material for a new book. And in 1872, upon his return to England, he wrote and published The Way We Live Now as a satirical hand-slap to remind his fellow countrymen to focus not so much on the gold gilding, as to realize the value of solid gold character. To use his own words:
The Plot
The Way We Live Now comprises the stories of three families. Oh, yes, there are numerous subplots. But for the sake of simplification, I shall condense the synopsis into the points below.
Lady Francis Carbury, very poor and aspiring writer of trashy novels, is out to make sure that her children are well settled in life. With a dissipate son, Felix, who spends his time at the 'Beargarden' gambling; and a stubborn daughter, Hetta, who simply will not marry for money; the poor lady is constantly harried in her attempts to give her son just a little virtue, and her daughter just a little vice to settle them properly in life.
Paul Montague, friend of Hetta's spurned lover Roger Carbury, is involved with an American firm trying to raise money to build a railway company that will stretch across the United States. He can't get out of the firm--he's in a bit too deep financially, and he can't say 'no'--so he comes with a fellow partner to help raise money for the railroad in England. Which will bring huge profits to all aspiring Londoners, of course. In between his frequent trips to America and England, he meets and engages himself to a beautiful--and possibly wicked--woman from the southern United States. Unfortunately for him, his rash love begins to wane as soon as he meets Hetta Carbury, and he breaks off the engagement. Weak-willed and compassionate, he cannot refuse when the woman pursues him to England and pleads for just one more meeting...and just one more...and just one more...
So these two situations go, until one man brings the whole of London together in a frenzy to fall at his feet. The insanely rich Augustus Melmotte sets up house in town after a long bout abroad. This accounts for his foreign accent, because he claims to be an Englishman, and of course he wouldn't lie about that. This man, with a rich only child Marie, and an obedient and submissive wife, scatters his favors and sets about raking up capitol while society treasures his every condescension. And as he takes an interest in Montague's American railroad--establishing himself as chairman of the English branch, in fact--he is soon on the front page of the newspapers.
Felix, attracted by Melmotte's daughter Marie and her prospect of being the inheritor of vast sums, makes secret love to her, only to be discovered a payed off by the father with a position in the railway firm. But Marie won't give up, and Felix isn't indifferent to breaking his word as long as he receives the cold hard cash.
Melmotte rises higher and higher, securing a position in Parliament...Hetta refuses to marry her mother's choice...Paul Montague cannot tear himself away from his ex-fiancee...and Felix Carbury is simply happy to spend his days and his cash at the club...
With laudable skill, Trollope weaves a masterpiece of political, social, and personal drama.
The Movie
BBC adapted this work with Andrew Davies, but they didn't do a very good job according to reviews on Amazon. They added in themes of adultery, which Trollope didn't include at all, and they preferred to leave some of the endings darker and more hopeless than Trollope did. I have not seen the movie myself, but I read all the reviews, and very few of them gave it a favorable rating. All in all, the casting is excellent with Matthew MacFadyen as Felix Carbury and David Suchet as Melmotte (some of you will think of Aslan in the Narnia audio dramatizations.) But characters should go a little farther than accurate looks, and include accurate portrayal. Beyond those few points I couldn't say as I've not seen it myself, but with what I have read I am content to stick with the book, and I wouldn't give the movie a very high recommendation ethics-wise.
My Thoughts
He's not a page-turner like Dickens. Or rather, I should say he gives you just enough to keep you reading, but not the excess of drama that is Dickens's trademark. But I found him to be highly enjoyable. Also he writes his conclusions quite fast. You'll be strung along and strung along, and then in a couple of pages he makes an end to that particular character. He doesn't believe in standing and lamenting over what he leaves behind. But don't let that put you off, as he takes care of everything thoroughly. :)
He had a little language here and there, but not as much as Dickens might, and much less than is typically found in the works of his day.
I don't know what Trollope's religious beliefs were. He mentions God in the text a couple of times, and not in a bad way either, but I can't really see from that what his worldview is. He did manage to catch two great Christian values, though, in the conclusion to his plots: number one, when children do not honor their parents, it does not go well with them. And number two, you reap what you sow. Good works produce a good crop, and bad works produce a bad crop. I've never read another fiction book that expresses the moral of the story so clearly, without ever putting it into writing.

Registration for CE lessons is simple – no admissions course of is required, and many CE courses don't require prerequisite coursework.
Unlike for-credit score learning , Continuing Education encompasses noncredit courses, due to this fact lessons don't depend toward a level. However, many Continuing Education programs prepare you for trade-acknowledged licensure and certifications. Successful completion of these programs earns persevering with training models (CEU's) for the coed. Whether you want higher job opportunities or you're looking to attempt something new, there is sure to be a Continuing Education course for you.
The query I get requested probably the most is about GPA and GRE. If you're low in either of those, which means it will likely be more difficult for you to get previous the preliminary culling part of the selection course of. Think about it. PTCAS (the centralized software heart for many physical therapy colleges) permits for huge numbers of applications to numerous schools. So it isn't out of the norm for 50 spots in a physical remedy class to get 1000 applicants. That quantity needs to be cut drastically as a result of no school will interview that many individuals.
Hi! I'm 26 years previous and I graduated in 2009 with a B.A. in Journalism however after three and a half years of working in news, I determined to go away the biz and am now in social media. However, after developing an important ardour for well being, health and body motion inside the previous yr, I'm now critically contemplating changing into a Physical Therapist. I'm working in the direction of my certification as a gaggle health teacher and am enthusiastic about changing into licensed in Zumba gold (geriatrics) and Pilates this summer season. Will this assist my application stand out as far as non-teachers are involved? My undergrad GPA is 3.09 however I'm going to make sure I kick ass in my science pre reqs.
In addition to unbiased study, the usage of convention-sort group study, which can include research networks (which may, in lots of instances, meet together online) in addition to different types of seminars/workshops, can be utilized to facilitate learning. A combination of traditional, distance, and convention-kind examine, or two of those three methods, may be used for a particular continuing training course or program.

Whew! Now before you all start to think that this was too difficult, just know that there were very few questions that everyone missed. Just like the pub quizzes I tirelessly researched (The Chieftain, The Bitter End, Mad Dog in the Fog, The Nag's Head and King's X), I tried to put in a little something for everyone from haute cuisine to pop culture. Rest assured, it's mighty hard to stump a Chowhound!
Until next year...
a sante,
P.S. the quiz will hopefully be "reprinted" on the Offcial Chowing with the Hounds website along with the recipes and pictures of this fantastic event and Chowhound fundraiser! (thanks Rochelle)

When I meet with sellers, I often hear some variation of the same "myths"…
Typically buyers look in more than one neighborhood, so in fact you may have more success with an agent who understands what buyers are looking for and where else they might find it. A good agent will know more than just your neighborhood—they will know all the neighborhoods where your competition will be, and where buyers will be looking! "Neighborhood specialists" often don't even live near the area in which they claim to be 'specialists'–that's just where they choose to send their postcards. Always interview at least one agent besides your 'neighborhood specialist' to compare services being offered, and think about whether you would be more comfortable with an agent who, when a buyer comes calling, represents only YOUR home rather than yours, and the guy's down the street, and the woman's down the block – all your competition!
I should choose the agent who puts the highest value on my home.
Open Houses are just for "looky loos" and nosy neighbors, so I've been told I shouldn't do them. Most of today's buyers start their search on the internet, and the majority either haven't yet selected an agent or areplanning to represent themselves. For those buyers, they have no way of seeing your home other than contacting the listing agent or going to an open house. Most people are too intimidated to call "off the sign" and so open houses are more important than ever before to get the most potential buyers through your home as possible.
If you are looking to sell your home, please contact me – I'd love to detail for you the services that I provide to my clients!

Today I am thankful for this motorcycle. It was not mine, it belonged to an older friend of mine. He let me borrow his Harley for my wedding day... a day that many of my friends and family will never forget. Although, they will not forget it because my wife and I got married that day, they will remember it because of this motorcycle.
You, we got married outdoors in a park. It was beautiful. We thought it would be great if I rode in during the ceremony on a motorcycle. I am not sure who's idea it was...but I liked it all the same. So, I borrowed the bike, we went through the rehearsals, and everything was perfect. We were ready for the big day and my big entrance.
When showtime came, I made my way into the park on the bike, but had failed to think through the grass being damp in certain areas as well as my slick dress shoes. Long story short...I crashed the motorcycle...during my wedding ceremony. At the time I didn't even think it was real - there was no way that could really be happening. But, alas, it did.
As mortified as I was that all this happened - and yes I was fine, the motorcycle was dented but fine too - looking back that crash was the coolest thing that could have happened. Now, forever etched in the minds of my friends and family is the day I crashed a motorcycle during my wedding. They will never forget that day, nor will they ever let me live it down. And I am ok with that. I am ok of always remembering and being reminded of one of the greatest days of my life...the day I married my best friend.
So, today, I am thankful for this motorcycle. May it ever live in infamy.

About this title
People ∙ O: The Oprah Magazine ∙ Financial Times ∙ Kansas City Star ∙ BookPage ∙ Kirkus Reviews ∙ Publishers Weekly ∙ Booklist
With a voice as distinctive and original as that of The Lovely Bones, and for the fans of the speculative fiction of Margaret Atwood, Karen Thompson Walker's The Age of Miracles is a luminous, haunting, and unforgettable debut novel about coming of age set against the backdrop of an utterly altered world.
"It still amazes me how little we really knew. . . . Maybe everything that happened to me and my family had nothing at all to do with the slowing. It's possible, I guess. But I doubt it. I doubt it very much."
On a seemingly ordinary Saturday in a California suburb, Julia and her family awake to discover, along with the rest of the world, that the rotation of the earth has suddenly begun to slow. The days and nights grow longer and longer, gravity is affected, the environment is thrown into disarray. Yet as she struggles to navigate an ever-shifting landscape, Julia is also coping with the normal disasters of everyday life—the fissures in her parents' marriage, the loss of old friends, the hopeful anguish of first love, the bizarre behavior of her grandfather who, convinced of a government conspiracy, spends his days obsessively cataloging his possessions. As Julia adjusts to the new normal, the slowing inexorably continues.
Praise for The Age of Miracles
"A stunner."—Justin Cronin
"A genuinely moving tale that mixes the real and surreal, the ordinary and the extraordinary, with impressive fluency and flair."—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Gripping drama . . . flawlessly written; it could be the most assured debut by an American writer since Jennifer Egan's Emerald City."—The Denver Post
"If you begin this book, you'll be loath to set it down until you've reached its end."—San Francisco Chronicle
"Provides solace with its wisdom, compassion, and elegance."—Curtis Sittenfeld
Amazon Best Books of the Month, June 2012: In The Age of Miracles, the world is ending not with a bang so much as a long, drawn-out whimper. And it turns out the whimper can be a lot harder to cope with. The Earth's rotation slows, gradually stretching out days and nights and subtly affecting the planet's gravity. The looming apocalypse parallels the adolescent struggles of 10-year-old Julia, as her comfortable suburban life succumbs to a sort of domestic deterioration. Julia confronts her parents' faltering marriage, illness, the death of a loved one, her first love, and her first heartbreak. Karen Thompson Walker is a gifted storyteller. Her language is precise and poetic, but style never overpowers the realism she imbues to her characters and the slowing Earth they inhabit. Most impressively, Thompson Walker has written a coming-of-age tale that asks whether it's worth coming of age at all in a world that might end at any minute. Like the best stories about the end of the world, The Age of Miracles is about the existence of hope and whether it can prevail in the face of uncertainty. --Kevin Nguyen
Q&A with Karen Thompson Walker
Q. In The Age of Miracles, you envision a natural phenomenon that threatens the entire world. This "slowing" is global, yet you decided to focus on Julia. Why?
A. Julia's voice--the voice of a young woman looking back on her adolescence--came into my head as soon as I had the idea of the slowing. It was the only way I could imagine writing the book. Adolescence is an extraordinary time of life, a period when the simple passage of time results in dramatic consequences, when we grow and change at seemingly impossible speeds. It seemed natural to tell the story of the slowing, which is partly about time, in the context of middle school. It was also a way of concentrating on the fine-grain details of everyday life, which was very important to me. I was interested in exploring the ways in which life carries on, even in the face of profound uncertainty.
Julia felt like a natural narrator for this story because she listens more than she speaks, and she watches more than she acts. I think the fact that Julia is an only child is part of why she's so observant. Julia also places a very high value on her friendships, and is unusually attuned to the subtle tensions in her parents' marriage, which increase as the slowing unfolds.
Q. The details of how such a slowing would affect us and our environment are rendered quite realistically. How did you get these details right?
A. No one knows exactly what would happen if the rotation of the earth slowed the way it does in my book, so I had some freedom. I did some research at the outset, but I came across many of my favorite details accidentally. Whenever I read an article that contained a potentially relevant detail--anything from sleep disorders, to new technologies for growing plants in greenhouses, to the various ways people and governments reacted to the financial crisis--I would knit it into the fabric of the book. After I finished the book, I had an astrophysicist read it for scientific accuracy, which was an extremely nerve-racking experience. I was relieved by how many of my details he found plausible, but made some adjustments based on what he said.
In general, I wanted my book to seem as real as possible. I recently read a Guardian interview with the Portuguese writer José Saramago, who said that his books were about "the possibility of the impossible." He explained that even if the premise of a book seemed "impossible," it was important to him that the development of that premise be logical and rational. That's exactly the way I wanted The Age of Miracles to function.
Q. Like Julia, you grew up in Southern California, where natural disasters are always looming. Do you think this influenced you in writing of The Age of Miracles?
A. I grew up in San Diego on a cul-de-sac of tract houses much like the one where The Age of Miracles takes place. In most ways, California was a very pleasant place to grow up. But it could also be a little scary. I remember how the sky would sometimes fill with smoke during fire season, how the smoke hung in the air for days at a time, burning our throats and turning everything slightly orange. I remember the way the windows rattled at the start of every earthquake, and the way the chandelier above our dinner table would swing back and forth until the shaking stopped. I sometimes couldn't sleep at night, worried that an earthquake or a fire would strike at night. But when I think of those years now, I realize that my novel grew partly out of my lifelong habit of imagining disaster.
If I've given the impression that I was constantly afraid as a child, that's not right. In fact, one of the things I remember most vividly about living in California is the way we mostly ignored the possibility of danger. We always knew that the "big one"--the giant earthquake that scientists believe will one day hit the region--could strike at any time, but mostly we lived as if it never would. Life often felt idyllic: We played soccer, we went swimming, we went walking on the beach. A little bit of denial is part of what it means to live in California. Then again, maybe that's also just part of being alive. I really wanted to capture that feeling in The Age of Miracles.

For 2017, passengers on cybersecurity flights better fasten their seat belts low and tight because we expect severe turbulence. IoT explodes as a target and a vector for security threats.

|Almost ready to go! Got the bumpers painted last night, and reinstalled all of the interior trim panels, handles, etc. (along with the left front stoneguard which I forgot to install when I did the others for some reason).
Tonight: put the bumpers back together and mount them, bolt the top back on, and she's roadworthy other than all the stainless trim and JH badges, etc.
Also going to fabricate and install my custom hood prop tonight (came up with an interesting approach using something that will fit under the hood but still allow lots of headroom for working on the engine). About $6 worth of raw materials and an hour or so to make it. I'll have pictures after it's installed.

Add Variations Quantity Field in Woocommerce
We got many request to have an option to set Add Quantity Fields to Variations in Woocommerce. Although we have PPOM plugin which allow users to add 14 types of input with awesome file upload (image upload) support. So now we just added a new Field in our latest version 6.3 called: Variation Quantity
This Variation Quantity Fields works in two ways:
When Price Set for Variations
Now if we have products with different price for each size (variation) we can set it too. In this case total of this sizes will be added on top of Product price. Screenshot left will give you clear understanding of this example.
In cart?
In cart total price will be considered after adding options/variations prices into product and quantity will NOT be increased in this case.
NO Price Set for Variations
We have example where we want to allow users to add quantities for different sizes of a T-Shirt. And these all Sizes has same price as set Product Price. So when user set quantities against each it increases the default quantity for all sizes quantities. For more clear understanding please see screenshot on left side.
In Cart?
Cart will contain information about sizes selected and set quantity. Price will also set as product base price which is default behavior of woocommerce when add product into cart with quantity. See screenshot left.

Post-traumatic corneal laceration repair by using fibrin glue with or without partial suture
(results will display both Free Papers & Poster)
Session Details
Session Title: Cornea Surgical II
Session Date/Time: Tuesday 16/09/2014 | 08:00-10:30

Abstract Details
To report the outcome of five cases of post-traumatic full thickness corneal laceration of varying sizes repaired by using fibrin glue.
Vasan Eye Care Hospital
Five consecutive cases of corneal perforation of 2.2 to 8.0 mm with shallow anterior chamber were included in the study. First two cases had 2.2 mm corneal wound involving the visual axis. Case-1 had intra-corneal wooden foreign body with traumatic cataract. Third and fourth cases had 6.0 mm tongue-shaped perforation, whereas fifth case had 8.0 mm perforation with iris prolapse. Fourth and fifth cases had traumatic cataract also. In third and fourth cases one 10-0 nylon was placed to secure the wound initially. In all cases anterior chamber was filled with air through separate side port. Wound areas were kept dry, followed by placement of fibrin glue (TISSEEL, Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Glendale, CA). All patients received 300 ml intravenous mannitol of 20% in the recovery room.
Postoperative period was uneventful with single suture removal on 7th day for third and fourth cases. Main outcome measurements were wound healing, astigmatism profile and visual recovery. Wound apposition was excellent with minimal scarring and early visual recovery. All patients gained BCVA of 20/20 with or without cataract surgery. Topography showed astigmatism within acceptable limit.
Thus the reported technique is a simple, less time consuming as well as effective way to manage corneal laceration of varying sizes. We need a long term study with more number of cases.

In this fast life style nobody has time to think even for the self, then how can we imagine the possibility of Love & care for family members? Everyone is living in different world under the same roof. Even within very room people has limited their life in books, mobiles, lappy, and other Electronic Gadgets. Sometimes they leave their comfort zone if something unusual happens in their life or society and again go to enjoy their life. On 16 November 2008, Aarushi & Hemraj were killed in Noida near Delhi. Without making any delay Local Police caught Rajesh Talwar & Nupur Talwar for this double murder. But due to several reasons case was given to CBI, but nothing special came out. Lastly on 26 November 2013 Dentist couple Rajesh Talwar & Nupur Talwar got Life Imprisionment in CBI Court. But many questions are yet unanswered. What is special message in this case? Will parents take extra care of their children? What will be impact on the emotion of parents towards children? Will children take any lesson? Do it?

she lives
I could go into a litany of why I haven't been blogging, but I'll keep it short and sweet to save you the agony of my drama queen whining and say…
*signed FINAL divorce papers
*been sick
*still sick
*every other adjective that describes the above 4 items
*decided that being the mother of a little boy with Asperger's is blank (insert own adjective or adverb here) as if I didn't know that before
there is a but…God is good all the time. All the time God is good. Sometimes things are rough and sometimes I don't feel like I know where I'm going or what I'm doing, but God does. And if I quiet myself and listen to his still small voice I'm okay. He just blesses my socks off by being God. The one stable thing in my life. He doesn't change. His character isn't different than it was 2000 or 4000 years ago. And sometimes I could kick myself for not figuring this all out sooner. I wish I hadn't tried to fill that God shaped hole with alcohol or sex or food or tv or books or movies. I wish I'd understood that God just wants me. Not perfect me. Not spiffed up polished me. Just broken little Nattie who mumbles and has low self esteem and ALL the baggage that I was carrying around with me.
God wants you too.
Did I say this would be a simple entry? Well sometimes I just gotta say, Glory! Sometimes my soul is just shouting and dancing even when my body feels like mush. Can I get a GLORY in the house?

Grandmother, the Orioles and the Colts
For you youngsters in the audience, the Colts used to be a Baltimore football team. To this day I have trouble pronouncing the word Indianapolis when it proceeds Colts. I am very happy that the Baltimore team is called the Ravens because it gives a literary flavor to the Baltimore aviary, but I have yet to get used to the idea that the Colts are elsewhere.
I digress.
I would be calmly reading a book (in whatever town we happened to be living in at at the time) when I would hear a tapping not at my chamber door but on a window. My grandmother would be waving wildly. Once in the house, accompanied by my diminutive grandfather and a couple of cousins, she would hold forth, frequently on sports. I would listen, but not challenge her interpretation of wins and losses.
Her view was simple. Baltimore teams won because they were brilliant. When they lost it was because they had been induced to throw games.
I understood her feeling about the Orioles. Was there a ball Brooks Robinson couldn't catch? And yes, Boog Powell and Frank Robinson were brilliant, but could any team win every game? I would give her skeptical looks, but would return to the book I was reading while she regaled my father and whomever else would listen about the natural superiority of Baltimore sports teams.
My grandmother's ire was raised most dramatically after the Baltimore Colts lost to the New York Jets in Superbowl III. I don't recall how soon after this loss she made a surprise visit to our home, but she was still wound up about Johnny Unitas being defeated by Joe Namath.
The adults in the room must have been uninterested in arguing with her about the game because suddenly I, who knew nothing about sports and cared less, found myself catechized thusly:
Who's the best quarterback in football?
Johnny Unitas.
Who has the smartest mouth in football?
Joe Namath.
How could the New York Jets defeat the Baltimore Colts?
They played a better game.
How could the New York Jets defeat the Baltimore Colts?
The Colts threw the game.
She turned to my father. "See, even a child could tell that something was fishy."
This would be the last time I would give in so easily to my grandmother. In the years to come the discussions would be about politics, a subject about which I did care, and another sort of game would be joined.

What a character ! She would not have liked yours truly - -- I know zilch re baseball. When I worked at a private school on my first job in Manhattan - the rich kids all talked about the uncle of one of the boys a baseball star named Joe Namath ... I had no earthly idea who HE was! tjstrawReplyDelete

So one of my friends just pointed out to me that I said "proceed" when I meant "precede." AAARGH. I hate it when I make stupid mistakes like that.ReplyDelete
This is so funny. Steph. My grandmother knew nothing of sports, but her six sons were all great baseball fans. Five for the Yankees and one for the New York Giants. When they were at work, she would listen to the games on the radio so that when they called her up she could give them the scores. I became a baseball fan because I was often assigned to listen while I did my chores so I could report the scores to her, so she could report to them!ReplyDelete
