On the Connection between Weighted Norm Inequalities, Commutators and
We show that the class of weights $w$ for which the Calderon operator is bounded on $L^p(w)$ can be used to develop a theory of real interpolation which is more general and exhibits new features when compared to the usual variants of the Lions-Peetre methods. In particular we obtain extrapolation theorems (in the sense of Rubio de Francia's theory) and reiteration theorems for these methods. We also consider interpolation methods associated with the classes of weights for which the Calderon operator is bounded on weighted Lorentz spaces and obtain similar results. We extend the commutator theorems associated with the real method of interpolation in several directions. We obtain weighted norm inequalities for higher order commutators as well as commutators of fractional order.One application of our results gives new weighted norm inequalities for higher order commutators of singular integrals with multiplications by BMO functions. We also introduce analogs of the space BMO in order to consider the relationship between commutators for Calderon type operators and their corresponding classes of weights.

Sharon Osbourne's eternal eating dilemma
- Bang Showbiz
- 8 May 2010
Sharon Osbourne has confessed she doesn't think she will ever be able to get her eating problems fully under control
Sharon Osbourne doesn't think she'll ever get her eating under control.
The outspoken star - who has previously battled bulimia - says she will always be haunted by her food issues and still overeats, although she tries to hide it from her family.
She said: "Eating is my Achilles heel. I'm addicted to food and every day I wake up and think, 'Today is the day that I'm not going to overeat.' But that's my thing in life, and I'm overweight, I am, but.
"I still have my big binges. Just the other weekend I was hiding from Kelly in the cupboard eating Maltesers; I can eat things in ridiculous amounts. And then I have to hide the wrappers because I know my other daughter Aimee will find them."
Sharon knows her family - husband Ozzy, son Jack and Kelly and Aimee - get upset but she doesn't think she can be helped.
She said in an interview with Glamour magazine: "Ozzy worries because of my health, but it's my kids who get really upset. For example, Aimee wouldn't even talk to me the other night because she was so upset about what I was eating.
"But nothing works for me. I have a very big self-destructive streak. Everybody has something, but I do everything to extremes."

Rovers midfielder Bayly promises to pick his battles
Hoops midfielder will only put on 'Hannibal' mask at the right time
SHAMROCK Rovers midfielder Robert Bayly is adamant that the Hoops can still fight their way back into the title race, even if he has to control his own aggression to make it possible.
Leaders Dundalk are in control at the top of the table and they host Bohemians at Oriel Park tonight aiming to maintain their four-point lead over Cork at the summit.
The Hoops, who welcome Sligo Rovers to Tallaght this evening, are 13 points off the pace in fourth albeit with the controversially postponed game against Bohemians in hand.
Bayly, a colourful character with a chequered disciplinary history, is refusing to rule out a charge and is drawing on his previous title win with Rovers in 2010 for encouragement.
"I remember the last time I was here we were nine points clear with three or four games to go and we only won it on goal difference," he stresses. "So I wouldn't be too worried about the points difference."
After his stint with the Hoops, Bayly had short-lived spells with Bohemians, Monaghan United, Longford Town and Shelbourne before finding himself unemployed last winter.
Few expected the former Leeds trainee to get another chance with Rovers given his propensity for flying off the handle and getting into unnecessary trouble.
He accepts his reputation was deserved, and understands why Trevor Croly's pre-season call raised eyebrows.
"I didn't do myself many favours, did I?" he says. "I'd always have a bite back at a ref or if someone hit me in a tackle, I'd have to win the next tackle.
"I found myself playing a lot better this season when you play your own game and you're not worried about what other people are doing or holding grudges in games or holding grudges from before.
"If you are going to keep reacting then you are going to be fighting relegation battles because you won't be at Shamrock Rovers."
Still, the player known simply around the league as 'Boccer' retains plenty of the attributes that mark him out as a unique individual.
His combative streak brought him into conflict with new Rovers boss Pat Fenlon when they worked together at Bohs. Observers recall screaming matches between the pair that effectively spelled the end of his Dalymount existence.
But they've quickly put their differences aside. "It's been good, decent. He doesn't like it when you call him 'Trevor' in the mornings though," jokes the 26-year-old.
"He was great at Bohs but then we had a bit of a falling out but we cleared that up when he came in, thank God. When he came in, he said 'everybody has a clean slate..including you Boccer' and I was happy."
Indeed, Fenlon has placed his faith in the Dubliner, recognising the fact that he can bring a certain bite to proceedings. For all that he's toned down his behaviour, Bayly is prepared to mix it up when required.
"I have that streak in my game and it's just about finding the balance really," he explains, breaking into another smile. "Sometimes you need to put the Hannibal mask on! And you can wheel me back out."
Rovers need a favour from their arch rivals Bohs in Louth tonight. Manager Owen Heary respects Stephen Kenny's charges and has promised that his team will adopt a positive approach to the fixture.
"I think we'll do OK," says Heary who is struggling for bodies defensively. "It is a tough one. They're top of the table and they're there for a reason.
"We're not going to sit back and see how we fare out. We'll have to go and have a go. If we lose by having a go then no problem."
Stephen Kenny has urged the Dundalk public to respond in even greater numbers for the run-in with club officials just happy to be preparing for a football match after the furore surrounding the €18,000 fine arising from the waving of a Palestine flag in their Europa League loss to Hadjuk Split last month.

libertine coffee bar
On the corner of Broad St. & Pacific St. (7am - 6pm)
coffee bar...
Libertine has always found a priority in a well caffeinated lifestyle. We have always incorporated locally roasted coffee into our beers (see Coffeetine and Freddy Got Finger-Limed). We started making barrel aged cold brew coffee to feed our daily coffee routine as we worked. Libertine Coffee Bar is a continuation of our coffee addiction, a place to share our cold brew coffee, and kombucha .
Working with Slake Roastery from Cambria, CA we offer a flavorful variation of roasts, served fresh daily. We also feature flavored selections of cold brew coffee with Honey Co beans on tap, in addition to our barrel aged kombucha. Confections include specialty donuts from SLO Donut Company, in addition to a number of great morning treats made by a variety local chefs.
Warm vibes and street side relaxing in downtown SLO makes Libertine Coffee Bar an excellent morning choice!

Publisher's Description▼▲
Readers have repeatedly called The Lord of the Rings the most important book of our age--absorbing all 1,500 of its pages with an almost fanatical interest and seeing the Peter Jackson movies in unprecedented numbers. Readers from ages 8 to 80 keep turning to Tolkien because here, in this magical kingdom, they are immersed in depth after depth of significance and meaning--perceiving the Hope that can be found amidst despair, the Charity that overcomes vengeance, and the Faith that springs from the strange power of weakness. The Gospel According to Tolkien examines biblical and Christian themes that are found in the works of J. R. R. Tolkien. Follow Ralph Wood as he takes us through the theological depths of Tolkien's literary legacy.
Author Bio▼▲
Library Journal▼▲
Now brought to the big screen, J.R.R. Tolkien's three-volume fantasy novel has been continuously popular since its original publication in 1954. A devout Catholic, the Oxford don was at the same time enamored of the ancient Norse pagan tales. While many see the trilogy as simply a pagan story with little or no hint of Christianity, both of these authors argue that the book has a very definite Christian message-a message that Tolkien himself said was fundamental to the work. Wood's (religion, Baylor Univ.) book, which comes from the publisher of several other "Gospel According to" books, argues that Tolkien's is a deeply Christian work, but since Tolkien disliked allegory, the Christian message is seen in the plot and the imagery. He finds in the story portrayals of the traditional Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love and offers a "theological reflection" on the epic, concentrating particularly on the question of evil. Dickerson (English, Middlebury Coll.; The Finnsburg Encounter) takes a somewhat less religious approach, focusing more on the moral dimensions of the story and the idea of free will. He argues that Tolkien's interest is in showing that moral victory is more important than military victory and that the novel's greatest heroes are those who remain true to their calling, not those who win battles. He deals with the question of religion only at the end. Both authors consider book and film, and both have a more ecumenical perspective than does Bradley Birzer in J.R.R. Tolkien's Sanctifying Myth, which takes a more Catholic approach. Given what is sure to be a renewed interest in Tolkien's epic, both would be worthwhile purchases for all libraries.-Augustine J. Curley, Newark Abbey, NJ Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
Publisher's Weekly▼▲
Readers and fans of J.R.R. Tolkien have long been aware of the Christian underpinnings of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Still, Tolkien has not been without his religious critics, including those who have read a fascination with paganism into the pre-Christian world of Tolkien's creation. Wood, a professor of theology and literature at Baylor University, responds to those critics with an academically sound retort of "Nonsense!" Acknowledging straight off that Rings is devoid of any traces of "formal religion," Wood offers countless pieces of evidence that support his analysis of the full-fledged, deeply Christian theology of the mythological culture of Middle-earth. And he does so convincingly. Even longtime fans of Rings who have never questioned the books' Christian elements will undoubtedly discover new insights, so rich is Wood's analysis of Tolkien's gospel. But be forewarned: This is not a book for the casual reader. Rather, it is a somewhat scholarly endeavor for those who want a more thorough understanding of the underlying themes that have made The Lord of the Rings novels, as well as Tolkien's other writings, such enduring treasures. Wood teases out those themes-life and death, good and evil, courage and cowardice, mercy and justice and of course, faith, hope, and love-to reveal the faith-filled nature of Tolkien's theocentric and sacramental, albeit fictional, world.

It is obvious the author has read all the Tolkien books and has many thoughtful insights to impart. I would have given the book a rating of 5 on all topics except I personally regard hardcovers as more sturdy (less likely the pages will fall out after repeated readings) than paperbacks so gave one less mark for the book on that point regarding "quality" - I have not had the book long.

Ed Whittenburg5 Stars Out Of 5January 27, 2004Ed WhittenburgThis is an insightful and engaging book that is very helpful as an interpretive guide to Tolkien's masterwork. It is of graduate school classroom caliber, but also accessible to the fan who understands there is more than just a great book or movie at work here. Themes of hope, love, friendship, courage, providence, grace, and redemption are covered. I found myself eagerly anticipating what each section of this book would cover, and enjoyed taking another look at the book. Though I have only read the Hobbit, and the Lord of the Rings in the past year, I have come to understand why it is the most important book from the 20th Century. These volumes have now taken their place in humility next to the Bible as the most influential writings in my life. Their lessons are as applicable to everyday life now as they were 50 years ago. I am enjoying sharing these compelling stories with my children, and hope to share them someday with my grandchildren. I am currently trying to convince my wife, a high school English teacher, to set aside her preference for all things Shakespearean and begin her own mission...quest...thing.

Sometimes an operation cannot be replayed until another operation is complete. For example, when an add operation is followed by a modify operation on the same entry, the server must wait for the add operation to be completed before starting the modify operation.
Such dependencies are quite rare and are generally necessary for a few operations only. Most operations do not have dependencies (since most are modify operations). In such cases, it is necessary to replay operations in parallel to obtain the best performance with multi-CPU servers.
The replication model is built on the assumption that operation dependencies are rare. The replication mechanism therefore always tries to replay operations in parallel, and only switches to processing operation dependencies if an operation fails to replay.

Over 7,000 Nurses, Midwives declare indefinite strike
These nurses work in regional and all the major government hospitals across the country.
The strike will take effect from today. This is the third group of nurses to declare strike in two weeks.
Addressing a press conference in Accra on Saturday, the Spokesperson of the group, Douglas Adu Fokuo said they are not convinced by the promises made by the Minister of Employment, and until the monies are paid, the over seven thousand nurses will stay off work.
"After several deliberations and our persistent patience to receive these monies, our government and authorities failed us.The promises they gave us and the reassurances were not implemented hence the leadership and entire membership of the coalition have come to the crossroads where going back to the workplace is an impossibility until all our standing arrears are paid.
"We hereby declare an indefinite strike from Monday 5, October 2015. We will swiftly return to work when all of us receive messages that there is payment," Douglas stated.
In a related development, Nurses at the Accra Psychiatric Hospital have also rejected government's call on them to return to the work after they embarked on an indefinite strike over unpaid salaries.
Speaking to Citi News, spokesperson for the nurses Emmanuel Feberi said they will not be in the best of mind to work if they return without their monies.
"…I think it is better for nurses to stay home, just have their peace of mind, then when everything is paid...they can go back and …take care of the patient…"

Residents of a small town in the Similkameen region are banding together to build a permanent roof over their outdoor ice rink, despite having a budget far short of the estimated cost of the project.
The 300 people who live in Tulameen, B.C. say that winter snow ruins the natural ice, but bids to construct a new roof cost two to three times more than the $300,000 the town had for the project.
Instead of paying a contractor, the community decided to build the roof themselves with local companies, stores and families providing the labour, equipment and some materials.
"It's just a complete community effort on this place," says Rod Hassell, one of the organizers for the construction project.
"Everybody has just been absolutely amazing. The truckers, the equipment, the concrete guys—someone brought in dirt. Just amazing. Someone donated scaffolding. It just goes on," says Mardi Hassell, a key organizer and Rod's wife.
The roof is expected to be completed this week, and Mardi Hassell hopes it will enhance Tulameen as an outdoor recreation destination.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|0 - 7 nights
Feel at home on Mt. Desert Island. Our 4 bedroom, 2 bath house is located in the quiet village of Seal Harbor. The house is furnished with cable TV, VCR, and DVD player, wireless internet access, a gas grill, and a washer and dryer. A large wrap-around porch includes a screened-in section and is perfect for relaxing or dining. Acadia National Park carriage roads and trails are virtually at your doorstep and the Village Green and town beach are a quarter-mile walk. Wildwood Stables is less than 1 mile. Bar Harbor shopping and dining are a 15 minute drive. We can offer information about restaurants, entertainment, and children's activities and we can recommend activities in the National Park to suit your interests.
First floor: kitchen, dining room, living room, bath, laundry area, 2 bedrooms one with double bed and one with two twin beds. Second floor: two bedrooms each with a double bed and a full bath.
Enjoyed the porch when at the house. Great location for touring/hiking etc.
I can't really imagine a better place as a base for discovering what Acadia has to offer. The title for the listing really sums it up. It was very nice to meet Joan and Allan. I wish it could have been a longer stay.
This house was perfect for our 2 families to vacation together. We were able to walk down to the beach at Seal Harbor every morning and were very close to the Park Loop Road. A lot of little household items were provided which was very convenient when cooking meals or packing lunches for hikes.
This house was a great location for easy access to Acadia NP -- hiking, biking, driving. Also, short drive to Northeast Harbor, where day cruises depart from.
Had lots of room, including a lovely porch.
However, the furnishings are mostly old -- like a first post-college apartment in the 1960s.
So, we would recommend for families.
Wonderful house and great landlords. House has absolutely everything one could want and owners are incredibly organized so everything is easy to find and if there is a question they will respond.
Blueberry muffins waiting for us. House is very spacious and comfortable. Quiet neighborhood. Walk to beach and few stores in town in one direction, walked to Jordan Pond house in the other direction. We hope to be back there next year.
It was perfect...Less then a mile to Wildwood stables where you can board your horse and ride the carriage trails and see the beautiful Acadia on horseback. The property was very clean and had every thing you could possibly need and more. The owner was very nice and welcomed us with a batch of homemade cookies and a map to the stables. I would higly recommend this property and hope that I can make it back this year.
Hiking on mountain trails, walking or biking or horseback riding on carriage roads, boat excursions including whale watches, harbor cruises and ferries to off-shore islands, museums, numerous ranger-led activities in Acadia National Park, beaches and lakes, dining, shopping, theater and concerts.

"The spiral continues to bring the red horse upon the lands.
The tablets are following it's tail, the Red Kachina!
All that was revealed can not be hidden, never again.
What was corrupted will now strike fast, lead by Machiva.
The Uprising has begun inside and
The Uprising has begun on the outside
It has crossed over."---Gwen
In 2010, several of us went to the National Rainbow Gathering in the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania. We met with a self-proclaimed Shaman and had a few meetings discussing prophecies there were expected to be soon filled. Every year on the Fourth of July, we are silent until noon. We spoke to some of the Elders and asked for consent to break the silence early by speaking the prophecies to the masses, while the children were gone and in Kiddie Village. While Rainbow Family in Main Meadow continued to OM, four of us stood in a circle around the Peace Pole and spoke of many prophecies. We spoke of the Phoenix Rising. We spoke of the Hopi Prophcies and their warnings of the Blue and Red Kachina, of the Natural Purification, of the need to know where your water is, know where your garden is, and make right relations. We spoke of the Sennica Indians offer to extend their protection during the Purification to their brothers and sisters, the Rainbow Tribe. It was said that the BP Oil spill was only the beginning. We warned the people they needed to be prepared, they needed to embrace the Great Awakening, and find balance in themselves and encourage it throughout the world. We said "We Can Not Be Silent Anymore!" And then we quieted and OM'ed with the rest, and it one of the most magickal and mind blowing experiences I have ever had. I asked for the protection from Akasha, the Great Spirit, to bless our people. The energy radiated out of me like a funnel and swirled dozens of feet above my head and the colors fell back on the family like rain drops. A young woman found me afterwards, crying, and said "You were so colorful!" and hugged me.
Some people were not so appreciative of our message. It angered some. It scared others. Some mocked us and laughed. But the message was given and many accepted it. But I would think now, even those skeptics, might be reconsidering what we said. Since this event, the spiral has spread throughout the world, the revolts have begun, the cyber war has peaked, people are rebelling, governments are taking more power and murdering their own people daily, war has increased, Nuclear radiation and waste fills the Pacific Ocean, the Golf Stream has changed, the poles are shifting, many ice walls have sunk, the weather has changed drastically, records occur by the thousands mostly due to record breaking Solar Flares. Natural Disasters increase in strength and consistency every day.
We have also brought down the False Veil. Since then, the truth, in so many things, is being revealed, whether it's affecting a relationship, or a country in arms. I can see the energy vibrating from the earth and the sky. I can see the shadows from the OtherWorlds, and the voices of the Earth are speaking to us all. We can hear it. We can feel it. Kether and Malkuth become closer to each other every second. More people are awakening every day and coming forward with their own Truth. Reports of paranormal and supernatural activity has increased drastically. We still have so much work to do, and we are seriously running out of time. The Tower Falls this year. What will happen? It is hard to say. what we did vibrated and echoed through the world. "I cannot be silent anymore!" It is time to find our temples, our sacred space, where we can be safe. It is time to resist the growing rift in the world which brings extremities, imbalance, corruption, abuse of Mother Earth, and takes away all our liberties. It is time to become One with the Spirit. Not caring does not protect you. Ignoring it will not make it go away. Indifference is man's greatest weakness and allows the greatest of evils to persist. We are the bringers of the messages from beyond the stars. The Prophets awaken and the people are afraid.
Here are the prophecies of No-Eyes, a Chippewa Medicine Woman. Notice, that most of these events, have come to pass very recently, and have not improved much since. Notice that over three quarters of these events have already begun to unfold, or have been unleashed fully on the world.

If your 'diet starts on Monday' mantra has failed you on many occasions and those good intentions of detoxing go down the toilet when your mid-afternoon chocolate craving trumps your homemade carrot stick and celery combo - you're not alone.
In fact, you're in good company as Brits spend 14 years of their life trying to (and failing) to stick to a diet.
According to a survey of 2,000 people by Philips, yo-yo dieters of Britain spend between four to five months a year counting calories and obsessing over each mouthful.
The study also predicts that in the future, one in 10 women will spend even more years of their lives dieting (up to 18 years in total) as they become more determined to shed the weight.
See Also:
So what drives us to become serial dieters?
While one in four people admit that images of super svelte celebrities make them want to diet, 66% revealed that it's the thought of wearing skimpier clothes in the summer that motivate them to get into shape.
And it's not just women who dread revealing all in a bikini or strapless tops when the weather heats up – the study also discovered a growing trend of male dieters who spend around two to three months a year trying to lose weight in time for summer.
Men are also much more likely to stick to their diet plan, as only one in four ditch their diet earlier than planned compared to one in three women, who fall off the wagon before they've reached their target weight.
The biggest reasons why dieters gave up on their healthy eating plan was boredom (32%) and lack of discipline (21%).
Diet & nutrition expert Rachael Anne Hill told HuffPost Lifestyle: "It's clear that the arrival of spring also brings pressure for people to shape up for summer. People would be much better adopting a healthy lifestyle all year round, without concentrating their efforts on a few select months."


text: The Freebooter wiki last edited by susurniek on 06/05/16 06:43AM View full history HistoryIn the near future of an alternate universe of Earth-982, Brandon Cross was a young student of Hawkeye and the Swordsman and trained under them for several years after the terrible conflict that saw most of the Avengers killed and permanently blinded the Master Marksman. Shortly after a new incarnation of the Avengers known as A-Next was formed, Brandon adopted a purple and black costume similar to his instructors as the rougish ladies' man and weapons master Freebooter.The Dream Team!One of the Founders of A-Next, Mainframe almost immediately sought to expand the team's membership and actively sought to recruit new members. Freebooter along with American Dream, Bluestreak, and the Crimson Curse were chosen as the newest recruits and were given the appellation of "The Dream Team". It was hinted that Freebooter and Crimson Curse were long time friends and might have been former lovers.Freebooter immediately sought to romance his fellow A-Next member Stinger but she greatly resented that Mainframe had arbitrarily made Freebooter as a member of the team without even consulting them leading to his flirtatious attempts to be summarily shot down.Despite the resentment of many of the original members, Freebooter's chivalrous nature and remarkable weapon skills led several members to admiring and respecting him, even Stinger reluctantly.Crimson CurseA-Next would find themselves facing the threat of Earth-9907 which the previous generation of Avengers had battled and many had been killed stopping the threat including Freebooter's mentor, Hawkeye who had lost his vision as a result and Crimson Curse also tragically lost her life battling this threat. The tragic loss shook the normally confident and free spirited Freebooter who became much more withdrawn and somber as a result and he dedicated himself towards fighting the forces of evil in her honor.Freebooter was later badly injured in the line of duty against the threat of Galactus and convinced Sabreclaw, a member of the Revengers and an enemy to A-Next to help assist in the battle. Afterwards, he and Sabreclaw became friends and Freebooter suggested that he apply for membership with A-Next. Despite many members being suspicious of Sabreclaw, he proved himself during the battle against Ulik and Sylene, the daughter of Loki.Freebooter would subsequently recover and return to active duty as a valued member of A-Next.Powers & AbilitiesFreebooter is a highly trained and proficient athlete. He is also an accomplished acrobat and is considered an expert marksman with ballistic weapons (specifically archery), a highly trained hand to hand combatant, and is highly trained in a number of weapons including swords and staffs.Freebooter carries a collapsible crossbow on his person but his personal weapon of choice are a pair of metal alloy escrima sticks that he can combine into a bo staff.

Alumni Take Innovative Approach to Physical Education
Posted: November 27, 2006 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
By Amy Biderman
What do physical education and social studies classes have in common? Visit Laura Bellis' eighth grade physical education class at Liberty Middle School in Clifton, Va., and you'll find out.
Bellis' students use a climbing wall with a blackboard that lists the three branches of government — each level corresponds to the judicial, legislative or executive branch. On another day, their climb might be associated with their rights and responsibilities as a citizen.
"The wall reinforces what students are learning in their social studies classes," notes Bellis, who devised the lesson. It is one of many innovative teaching approaches being taken by graduates of the School of Recreation, Health and Tourism (RHT).
Teaching physical education is a second career for Bellis. Following many years in journalism and public relations, she earned a BS in health and physical education from George Mason in 2001. After teaching for a year at Stone Middle School in Centreville, Va., she moved to Liberty four years ago.
Each week, Bellis has a cardiovascular day. Students start out the year either walking or running while using a heart monitor. Once they've mastered staying in their target heart rate, they can choose an activity such as basketball, soccer or volleyball. "The idea is to find something they're good at and happy with," she says.
Bellis also shows creativity in observing National Physical Education Week each May. She asks teachers throughout the school to wear something to show the type of physical activity they do as part of their lifestyle. From tennis outfits to biking shorts, the teachers' attire "reinforces for students that exercise is good for everybody, not just professional athletes," she says. "We recognize and celebrate physical education."
Another RHT graduate using innovative practices in his classes is Chris Dofflemyer, who teaches kindergarten through sixth grade at Cub Run Elementary School in Centreville. He received a BS in science and physical education in 1996 and an MA in education (Initiatives in Educational Transformation Program) in 2004.
As early as first grade, students in Dofflemyer's classes learn to take their carotid pulse by simply counting the beats in six seconds and adding a zero to the end of their total. By third grade, most students know how to do a pulse check for any activity.
Dofflemyer provides a variety of opportunities for students to remain physically active even when they're not in the classroom. After-school programs include flag football, basketball and ping-pong.
In addition, he promotes the Hershey Track Meet in Fairfax Country and two events sponsored by the American Heart Association: Hoops for Heart for third through sixth grade and Jump Rope for Heart for kindergarten through sixth grade.
Dofflemyer also takes students on a field trip to a local high school for a run on the one-mile track. In addition, he and his colleague Jenny Murray put on a Wellness Fair every other year.
An electronic "Blackboard" allows students to log on from home and see information on upcoming fitness events. In a summer program called "Healthy Lifestyles," students in the fourth, fifth and six grades keep a log of their physical activity and meet goals for awareness of their level of physical activity. Forty-five students joined the optional program this year. Each child has an account with a password and a weekly calendar.
"The idea is to link technology to encourage kids to get active — and stay active," Dofflemyer says. "We promote fun, active things like going for walks on the beach, taking a dog for a walk, riding a bike or participating on a sports team. We also encourage them to remain active even when they're doing something sedentary like watching TV — they can do pushups or curl-ups during the commercials." He and his colleagues have discussed making the log a monthly assignment during the school year.
Dofflemyer uses a self-assessment grading tool, which allows students to rate their individual effort for each class. This gives students a voice in their grades, making them more accountable for their effort and behavior, while giving him personal interaction with each of his students on a daily basis, he says.
Dofflemyer has worked with student teachers at Cub Run, calling the experiences some of the best of his career. "I teach the students to be reflective," he explains. "When they think something didn't work, I encourage them to question themselves and figure out why it didn't work and how they could have handled it differently."
In fact, his work with student teachers was so rewarding that Dofflemyer decided to broaden his experience and become an adjunct professor in RHT. He is an instructor for Physical Education 365: Measurement and Evaluation of Physical Fitness.

"I'm obviously very disappointed to have to end my playing career. I hoped to continue playing for a few more years and was determined to force my way back into the England set up having been injured in our last warm up game before the Rugby World Cup in 2011, but it wasn't to be.
"It's been an horrible 15 months barely being able to play for Sale and I tried so hard to come back. Even after the first two failed operations I hoped to return playing, but after the third operation I reluctantly had to accept medical advice that I should stop.
"My biggest regret will be that I never had time to repay the faith Sale Sharks and their supporters put in me when they signed me and I would like to thank them for the support they have shown and the way the fans stood by me. I was desperate to produce some really good performances to show them what I was capable of but unfortunately that's how life goes sometimes and as they say, when one door closes another one opens. I look forward to getting stuck in to whatever new challenges arise and working hard at them like I did in rugby."
Sharks' team mate and RPA Player Representative Sam Tuitupou said: "All the boys at Sale are really disappointed for Hendre. It hits you hard as a squad when you lose a mate as well as a great player, particularly having already seen so many other top players being forced to retire this season. It's a reminder of how fragile your career can be.
"Hendre is such an upbeat character, one of the nicest guys you could meet who always has a smile on his face and he will be missed by everyone in the squad."
RPA Rugby Director, David Barnes, commented: "It is a great shame to lose Hendre from the game earlier than he would have wished. When he was at Leeds Carnegie in 2010 Neil Back rated him as the best open-side flanker in the Premiership and had high hopes for him at international level. Hendre worked incredibly hard in an attempt to come back from the injury, but unfortunately medical advice has indicated it will not be possible for him to play professional rugby again.
"Hendre has been working closely with our RPA Player Development Manager at Sale Sharks, Tim Nicholls, exploring possible options open to him as he looks to build a new career. We all wish him and his family the very best as he makes the transition."

There are still names there under the door frame. There are lots more now. There is a lot of history there.
I was there for the 2008 season. The second drive-in I ever went to. The first was the Colonial Drive-in but that is a sad dead place. The people there where nice and have a great selection and price for the concession. $6.50 for double feature and they also did triple on the weekends. Can't wait to go back.
I miss the theater I went there as a kid for a few movies. I remember the mural on the wall that had imaged of famous past movies. I still remember the Green runway lights that went down the aisle. I do remember that It was run by Carmike cinemas.
I have been to the Colonial Drive-in This year. There is nothing much left of the place. It is sad to see what is left of the place. Where the concision/ Booth was just rubble and foundation, the screen been torn down and just the metal is left. There is not much left to tell what once was there. The box office is still standing strip of what it once was. The land is for sale and I hope someone can buy it to put another drive-in there.
I have posted some pictures here.
Does anyone have any photos of what the place looked like when it was running or before the Concession stand building burned down?
I asked my manager and she says the place opened in 1990.
For a bit of more history when they opened it was supposed to be split in to two parts. A century square cinema was for first run and a maxi saver cinema was second run. I am not sure if that is what they did but I know that was the concept. You can see the first six auditoriums are for the most part bigger than the other six on the other end.
I been working there since 2004. The place is good for the most part. There have been rumors ever since I been there about remolding. To my It was owned by by another company before Carmike bought them some time around 1997. With the Prices at .99 cents we are busy on the weekends and on Tuesdays with the BYOB (bring your own bucket) where you can get bring in a bucket and get popcorn for .50 cents. For the condition of the building every thing is original. That means almost 20 years and things are starting to break. the century and Cinemeccanica projectors are older then the building over 40 years and still running strong for the most part. As long as people stop vandalizing and the night cleaning people actual clean then it can be a nice place to see a bargain movie.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said a just-revealed $350 million budget shortfall for this year "could" prompt him to call lawmakers back into an extraordinary session before their scheduled return in January.
"There's been a lot of volatility in these numbers … it's been a little bit like watching a bouncing ball over these past few weeks," Cuomo said during a radio interview on "The Capitol Pressroom."
"I'm going to continue to watch it for the next few weeks, because as we get to the end of the year, we'll be making decisions that will impact next year," Cuomo continued. "There's been so much volatility I want to make sure we're not making decisions based on incorrect information."
Next year's budget is now projected to be at least $3 billion in deficit, more than the $2.4 billion deficit Budget Division officials projected earlier this year. Cuomo's last budget books increases to school and health care funding in the coming year, but Cuomo said "I don't want to start speculating" when asked if they will hold firm.
"There's no doubt that the direction of the bouncing ball has been down. We are making adjustments, and there are certain adjustments we can continue to make," he said. "They're giving me a range of options, and then depending on those options, and spending if this trend continues, we may need a special session when I bring back the legislature."
Cuomo also didn't budge on his opposition to renewing a tax on New Yorkers reporting over $200,000.
"You know my position on taxation, and that's my position. I'm trying to deal with the hole we have today," he said.

Williamsport, PA (9/4/10) - Sophomore midfielder Dan Mendoza (Hackensack, NJ / Hackensack) scored early on in the second period which turned out to be the difference as 19th-ranked Montclair State picked up its first win of the season with a 1-0 triumph over host Lycoming College at the Lycoming Kickoff Classic on Saturday.
Junior goalkeeper Anthony Rogic (Boonton, NJ / Morris Catholic) stopped three shots for his first shutout as a Red Hawk as Montclair State improved to 1-0-1 on the year. MSU will face Stevenson in the championship game of the tournament on Sunday, September 5 at 1:30 pm.
Montclair State dominated the shot column in the game as the Red Hawks outshot Lycoming 12-4 in the first half. Despite the advantage MSU was unable to get anything past the goalkeeping tandem of Nial Krach and James Quinn.
That is until the 55th minute when Mendoza went 1-on-1 against Quinn before depositing the ball into the left side of the net for what turned out to be the game-winning goal.
The Red Hawks finished with 23 shots compared to just seven for Lycoming.

Almost 25 years ago, a catastrophe befell American conservatism. University of Chicago professor Allan Bloom wrote about rock and roll.
His words came in the book "The Closing of the America Mind," which was published in 1987 and became a bestseller and cultural touchstone. Most of "The Closing of the American Mind" is brilliant, a careful and poetically delightful assessment of the takeover of academia and American culture by Marxism and nihilism. Its upcoming 25th anniversary should get it a new round of attention.
Sadly, Bloom included rock and roll in his critique. In doing so, he 1) embraced Marxism, 2) failed to recognize one of the 20th century's great art forms, 3) banished conservatives to a cultural wilderness from which they have yet to emerge, and 4) made it seem like the right doesn't care about the soul.
By far my favorite passage in "Closing" is the following. It's a bit long, and I spent a couple days trying to figure out where to trim it. But that's like trying to chip a few inches off of Michelangelo's "David." I also have found that reading this passage can be a therapeutic, yogic exercise. You just say it out loud while standing at attention and facing Graceland:
Young people know that rock has the beat of sexual intercourse. That is why Ravel's Bolero is the one piece of classical music that is commonly known and liked by them.
In alliance with some real art and a lot of pseudo-art, an enormous industry cultivates the taste for the orgiastic state of feeling connected with sex, providing a constant flood of fresh material for voracious appetites. Never was there an art form directed so exclusively to children.
Ministering to and according with the arousing and cathartic music, the lyrics celebrate puppy love as well as polymorphous attractions, and fortify them against traditional ridicule and shame. The words implicitly and explicitly describe bodily acts that satisfy sexual desire and treat them as its only natural and routine culmination for children who do not yet have the slightest imagination of love, marriage or family. This has a much more powerful effect than does pornography on youngsters, who have no need to watch others do grossly what they can so easily do themselves. Voyeurism is for old perverts; active sexual relations are for the young. All they need is encouragement.
The inevitable corollary of such sexual interest is rebellion against the parental authority that represses it. Selfishness thus becomes indignation and then transforms itself into morality. The sexual revolution must overthrow all the forces of domination, the enemies of nature and happiness. From love comes hate, masquerading as social reform. A worldview is balanced on the sexual fulcrum. What were once unconscious or half-conscious childish resentments become the new Scripture. And then comes the longing for the classless, prejudice-free, conflict-less, universal society that necessarily results from liberated consciousness — "We Are the World," a pubescent version of Alle Menschen werden Brueder, the fulfillment of which has been inhibited by the political equivalents of Mom and Dad. These are the three great lyrical themes: sex, hate and a smarmy, hypocritical version of brotherly love. Such polluted sources issue in a muddy stream where only monsters can swim. A glance at the videos that project images on the wall of Plato's cave since MTV took it over suffices to prove this. Hitler's image recurs frequently enough in exciting contexts to give one pause. Nothing noble, sublime, profound, delicate, tasteful or even decent can find a place in such tableaux. There is room only for the intense, changing, crude and immediate, which Tocqueville warned us would be the character of democratic art, combined with a pervasiveness, importance and content beyond Tocqueville's wildest imagination.
Picture a thirteen-year-old boy sitting in the living room of his family home doing his math assignment while wearing his Walkman headphones or watching MTV. He enjoys the liberties hard won over centuries by the alliance of philosophic genius and political heroism, consecrated by the blood of martyrs; he is provided with comfort and leisure by the most productive economy ever known to mankind; science has penetrated the secrets of nature in order to provide him with the marvelous, lifelike electronic sound and image reproduction he is enjoying. And in what does progress culminate? A pubescent child whose body throbs with orgasmic rhythms; whose feelings are made articulate in hymns to the joys of onanism or the killing of parents; whose ambition is to win fame and wealth in imitating the drag-queen who makes the music. In short, life is made into a nonstop, commercially prepackaged masturbational fantasy.
Ole! Virtually every word of it is wrong, but it was the part of "The Closing of the American Mind" that got the most attention. Robert Asahina, Bloom's editor at Simon and Schuster, shrewdly convinced Bloom to put the music chapter up front in the book, where it would get the most attention. The book became a sensation and something of holy writ for conservatives.

A Point of View
by Lisa Jardine
Preface £12.99, pp192
Lisa Jardine identifies with the 17th-century scientist Robert Hooke because both have a wayward attitude to filing. Indeed, Hooke, the subject of a biography by Jardine, The Man Who Measured London, managed to misfile five years of Royal Society records, which have only recently been uncovered.
It is quickly evident that Hooke and his biographer have more in common than a mere horror of paperwork. Hooke was a Renaissance man who found time while chairing numerous scientific committees to oversee the reconstruction of London following the Great Fire and determine Hooke's law of elasticity. Jardine is an accomplished polymath who has chaired both the Man Booker Prize and the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority.
This collection, which emerges from her Radio 4 slot A Point of View, showcases her knowledge. She skips whimsically in a single page between science, literature, architecture and politics. Jardine reminds us that good scientists don't claim to 'prove' anything and discourages us from consequently dismissing their theories. The 'increasing likelihood' of an 'imperfect ecological future' should be enough to incite us to do what we can for our world.
A mingling of past and present is typical; Jardine's strength lies in her vivid conception of the past. 'History,' she states, 'lets me see the here and now more clearly, to begin to understand and make better sense of the present.' It is as though she is living two lives at once. She is in the Renaissance, applauding the discoveries of fellow explorers. She looks around and sees Erasmus espousing tolerance or Cassini mapping the French coastline. Yet she is also, energetically and committedly, in the present. She cares deeply about contemporary infringements of civil liberties and about the failure of tolerance in Holland as well as local issues such as academic salaries.
Her historical reasoning enables her to reach radical conclusions about the present, thinking outside the conventional middle-class, liberal box. She ponders Erasmus's attempts to make Latin the European language and the acceptance of English as the lingua franca today and decides, surprisingly, that the British needn't worry about foreign languages. Instead, we must work on improving our English.
Alongside past and present, Jardine mingles private and public, sharing personal experiences of motherhood, vegetable growing and even dreams. As a child, she dreamt of wearing a dowdy headscarf, robbed of her academic future and recast as the Jewish refugee she could have been. She links this fear with the nation's horror at seeing Faye Turney in a headscarf when held hostage in Iran, suggesting that headscarves deny individual identity and intelligence, whether imposed by religious or social conventions.
This is one of many essays anchored specifically in the period last year when Jardine broadcast her talks. As a result, the details sometimes feel dated, although the issues retain their relevance. This is reinforced when we are periodically reminded of the presence of her listeners and I sometimes felt in second-best position reading words so eloquently written to be spoken. Apart from Nick Wadley's quirky illustrations, the book adds nothing but longevity to the original talks and even that is undermined by the specificity of its time-frame.
But perhaps its short shelf-life is just a reason to buy A Point of View immediately. Even if you were lucky enough to hear the talks first time around, these are essays to read slowly, savouring the details. Few readers will be so erudite they learn nothing. This 21st-century Renaissance woman will seduce you with the elegance of her thought and the eclecticism of her knowledge and will leave you moving effortlessly through a world where Wren can cross paths with an Arsenal goalie. If Jardine's printed output is this impressive, just think of the fun future researchers will have with all her misfiled jottings.

Religion And Ghosts
( Originally Published Early 1900's )
EVERYBODY today talks of psychic phenomena. The theme has become almost the next after the weather. The subject is not as yet an entirely serious one with the public. It is, like mothers-in-law or marriage with a deceased wife's sister, a topic for badinage. There is, nevertheless, far more in it than has been discovered by the jesters. The facts, so far as we know them, are indeed not at all a laughing matter. They come and go, leaving scant opportunity for accurate observation ; yet even in passing they flash a gleam which, like sudden lightning on the waters, opens the vision of unfathomed depths beneath.
We propose here to discuss the relation of this question to religion. We are, of course, not the first to follow that track. A modern philosophy greatly in vogue goes back to ghosts for its theory of religious origins. Mr. Herbert Spencer finds here the starting point of the belief in a future state, and of the systems of religion that are built upon it. In his dreams the savage, while his body lay inert on the ground, found himself moving freely, conversing, recognising as close to him people who he knew were far distant, or long since passed away. These apparitions, in sleep or trance, were to him as real as the actual world. From them he conceived a spiritual world, where the soul moved when the body was inert or dead. His waking imagination easily confirmed the dreams of the night. The vision, the ghostly appearance, became actualities in his scheme of life. The ancestor he had seen in his dream was existent in the unseen. He must open communication with him ; he must pay homage to his chiefs yonder, and to whatsoever powers ruled there beside.
On this, it may be said, to begin with, that if it were admitted as in itself an accurate account of religious beginnings, there would lie here no argument whatever against the authority and the sanctions of religion as we know it. To say that religion came to us through a lowly gateway is simply to offer us one more instance of the universal order. Everything has come to us that way. Nothing would be more absurd than to judge of the proportions and significance of a life-fact by its first appearances. Nature, in planning her great achievements, always begins low. She makes no show at the start ; gives no hint, in the first rude sketch, of the wealth of genius that is yet to appear. With a millionaire's resources, she starts on thirty shillings a week. In her magnificent evolution, what appears at first is nothing. The question always to be asked is, " What lies behind ? " And nowhere do we so need to ask it as in discussing religion.
But a defence of this kind is now almost unnecessary. A curious change is coming over opinion.
Thirty years ago the dream and ghost theory was being urged as a disparagement of the religious position. The spiritual concept was shown as a product of savagery, and that seemed enough to dispose of its claims. But to-day we approach the subject from another starting-point. A different question is being asked. " Why is it," the modern thinker demands, " that among all the races of mankind, civilised and uncivilised, there has appeared and has survived, the belief in a life after death ? " For nothing apparently is more contrary to the evidence. The vote of the senses is dead against it. The mind, as Lucretius long ago pointed out, appears to follow exactly the fortunes of the body. His
Praeterea gigni pariter cum Corpora et una
(Besides, we see the mind to be born with the body, and grow with the body, and to decay with it) seems to settle the whole matter. When death comes the entire system breaks up. The separate particles, held together no longer by the vital bond, form new combinations. The elements are here, for they are eternal, but the form we knew is gone and will return no more.
With all this for man to think about, why his permanent belief in survival ? We say nothing here of those new aspects of matter and its mysterious potencies which the latest science is revealing. Radium, the properties of radiant matter, the energy of electrons, the composition of the molecule, the entire range of supersensual physics, open to us vistas of thought of which our fathers knew othing. But what they count for in the argument is aside from our immediate question, which is, " Why have men in all the past ages, with the evidence of the senses so powerfully against them, believed that the soul survived death's catastrophe ? " That they did so is seen in all literature. Vedic hymns, 3,500 years old, sing of a spiritual body inside the fleshly one, by which the dead rise to heaven. And that note is everywhere. The answer which is being given to-day, and by men who have every claim to be heard, is largely in the Spencerian direction, but with a new point and a new emphasis. They hold that the belief did come from the dream and the apparition, but with the addition that some at least of the dreams and some of the apparitions were really valid as evidence, and have to-day to be accepted as such.
We have in fact on this subject reached a new position. For the first time in history the question of apparitions, of psychic phenomena in general, has been taken up as a branch of science. We are far from the attitude so humorously expressed by Fontenelle, who " didn't believe in ghosts, but was afraid of them." Our age wants to know, and is on the track of knowing. It is collecting the evidence that has floated down the ages, and is examining it with a new eye. It is boldly entering this dim region in search of its laws. The frame of mind which dismissed the ancient stories with a shrug, is recognised not as science but as ignorance. A record such, for instance, as that of Apollonius of Tyana, that when at Ephesus he saw in spirit the assassination of Domitian at Rome ; crying out suddenly in the midst of his friends, " Strike him down, the tyrant ! " and declaring immediately, " Domitian has just been slain," is accepted to-day as falling entirely within the category of the possible. The researches of a Crookes, of a Myers, of a Gurney, of a Rochas, of a Gabriel Delanne, have brought within our view a mass of facts which are as solidly based as they are wonderful. With many of these explorers the existence of an ethereal body within the material, which can be exteriorised under certain conditions, is held as proved. Sir William Crookes has taken photographs of these materialisations. M. Rochas speaks of an externalised consciousness which feels a touch or a pin prick. Swedenborg communicated messages from deceased persons to relatives on matters of fact which were found to be accurate in every detail. Had Kant lived in our day he would probably have gone further than his recorded admission on this subject, striking as it is from one of his quality : " For my part, ignorant as I am of the way in which the human spirit enters the world, and the ways in which it goes out of it, I dare not deny the truth of many of the narratives that are in circulation."
But if this body of evidence is to be accepted as containing at least a nucleus of fact, what is the relation of it to religion as we know it ? The relation is very evident and very immediate. The sphere we are investigating, let us admit, is one that lends itself readily to imposture, and it is one where the impostor has revelled. " Sludge, the Medium," has displayed himself here in all his cunning, in all his vulgarity. Yet a Browning, in the midst of his merciless exposure, finds at the bottom of the business a residuum which his scepticism cannot get over. His own belief one sees is in that final question,
Which of those who say they disbelieve,
And amid the thousand impostures it is the one fact that counts. As Hegel has it : " Dem Begriffe nach einmal ist allemal." (" In the region of ideas ` once ' is equal to ` always.") The one fact clears away all a priori impossibilities, for, as Aristotle says : " Things which have happened are manifestly possible, for if they had been impossible they would not have happened." One single message from the unseen world and that unseen is proved as actual. One demonstration that the soul can act outside the body, and the question of its survival of death has entered on a new phase.
And this question becomes, we say, immediately religious. It gives the death-blow to that material-ism of which Goethe once said " the theory which reduces all things to matter and motion appeared to me so grey, so Cimmerian, and so dead, that we shuddered at it as at a ghost." On the contrary, man is here shown to be a spiritual being, in a spiritual universe, and the difference is immense. The thought of a continuance of being is, and by the constitution of human nature must necessarily be, ore of the great religious motives. We may talk of " virtue being its own reward," and of " doing right because it is right," but it remains that the thought of sheer extinction ; of our endeavour ending, so far as we are concerned, in utter nothingness ; of our virtue or our vice debouching, after a few brief years, into the same all-swallowing néant—must make all the difference to the struggle.
Moreover, the facts won in this research carry so much that is intimately religious with them. They are in accord with all the soul's aspirations, when it is at its highest. Are we not continually saying to ourselves :
And thus I know this earth is not my sphere,
And this other feature of the situation, that into the unseen state we carry no smallest item of our outward possessions ; that houses, lands, shares, our ornaments and jewels of price, our luxury and splendour of living, fall absolutely away, leaving as sole residuum the accumulations of our inner consciousness, what make we of that ? Once scientifically apprehended and solidly fixed in the mind, it should be the death, surely, of that insane coveting, of the mad lust for wealth which rages to-day ? Filled with these truths, a man ceases to be in a hurry. His outlook takes in eternity. As the years pass his interest in life does not diminish, but rather increases. He has a stake in it beyond what is seen.
But the soul
Finally, it is on the great fact of the spiritual world that the New Testament rests. Its whole implication is there. That the visible is the vestibule of a greater invisible ; that the material is symbol of the immaterial ; that body is for the sake of soul ; that earthly conditions are for the working out of Divine conclusions ; that death is but transition ; that the spirit in which we are now doing our work will show itself in consciousness a thousand ages hence ; these are parts of Christ's Gospel ; and these are carried also in the facts offered us today. Truly they are facts to ponder. And in pondering them we may ask our poet's question :
When earth breaks up and heaven expands,

@rtmattox- *year I second the request for more men's patterns. Something cutting edge like Ben Sherman's last winter collection would be well appreciated, in the magazine as well as download/ paper pattern format.

Probably because people see men's tailoring as much too difficult to do at home. This is no excuse for making fewer OTHER patterns for men, though.
Tailoring is far more structured than tailoring for women, but that just acts as a challenge as far as I am concerned… :D

I also struggle with patterns for my hubby, he's not that tall but he's quite wide and I know he's not the only guy who is lacking nice clothes because they just don't do plus size for guys. We have 2 shops here, one REALLY over priced and the other seems to think big guys only want to wear jeans and flannel shirts. My hubby used to have a great sense of style but after putting on the pounds he's reduced to track pants and t-shirts. I try and alter shirt patterns for him but it's a fair amount of work because guys tend to put weight on the belly not all over and it's difficult adjusting anything with a nice cut for that allowance.
