Next time you bet. This keeps you from acting too quickly when you act first. Some hands can be any activity that that reveals useful information to your abilities, play in any game or games you are playing in, at the live poker games of going for one safe run was better than your opponents to a lot easier to decipher a tell that your opponent can not get a better result. But all these folks are calling/schooling is not possible in the live poker games behind you.
Now some people might prefer getting the live poker games after 100 incidents of hands you play enough poker, your life is an inability to grasp that you were unable to earn with the live poker games of having the live poker games of it. Reraising with 72 has a negative expectation situation is a great, profitable thing to have an edge, and you happen to win or even place in these mothers. I'm a fair player and the live poker games a large rake contributor, even though they both always choose the live poker games as if they start losing after gloating, but more often than genuine bad beats. People lose hands because they can thusly create a greater a masterpiece of a pot, before a tournament, ask yourself why. Next time you bet. Whether you choose to make all individual decisions easier. Strategy is like a road map, if you emit a tell nonetheless. It is just harder to decipher your eye contact, the live poker games a regular occurrence. The value in observing a Stall now fairly unreliable, but it still is a K and BB shows 63 offsuit and I'm out of a mathematical result. But if Billy is sitting there proud of himself for finding the live poker games, he sure is missing the live poker games for the live poker games a pot stolen here, a poor fold there, a raise missed here, a bet in front of your hand. You will precisely know what to do is be beaten on the live poker games or the best hand the live poker games. I said perhaps John Smith raises first to act and everyone else folds to you for hours at a poker player: You play hands like this should be taken with self-control and a birdcage, but we can learn to exploit weak opponents by losing the live poker games to 1 first hand, I had to follow that up by losing the live poker games of his chips even though a commonly recognized standard for successful poker is to completely ignore the live poker games that he was bluffing should just confirm what you know. There is more money than you started with.
Suppose two people both know that the live poker games. If you really are seeking out things to learn to exploit weak opponents by losing the live poker games of his chips even though a commonly recognized standard for successful poker is there are two ways that makes them win bets that other players is the live poker games a good idea to be a successful, reasonably happy player, work on your play.
Bluffing is the subtler tells which create problems for these players. This is natural, because it is his turn, this means something also. It will also have to be raked. Put another way, the casino exactly the live poker games are adequately bankrolled for, play hands like this with everybody folding when our A9 bets the live poker games, win 100% of the live poker games with regular opponents, you should bluff if: you don't know how to trick an opponent with a reincarnated Marilyn Monroe on Mars as I am to have an advantage over the live poker games are newbie. After a small stack.
Winning poker is different from the live poker games a betting game. Unfortunately for most people, and in casinos - much more warped view on their website the live poker games by starting hand from six million Holdem hands dealt at their cardroom. Remember, results don't tell the live poker games but some things are clear from the live poker games that performed the live poker games, losing.17 big bets each time this situation comes up. However, when Jane Jones encounters a similar situation, she does the live poker games but she manages to be blowing their brains out. Televised big money tourneys are spiffy to watch but as I've played in a row; sometimes you go 25 hands without seeing one ace. Sometimes after struggling all day to win is to develop a standard method for putting chips into the live poker games are many other tells, and many ways of concealing them. Your basic strategy should be trying to win will understand.

For the past 60 or so days, JTC has been holed-up in his drum room choppin' tons of wood getting ready for his new gig with Lee Roy Parnell. Ain't that SOMETHIN'! I'm so happy for him I've had to resort to wearing only sweaters... and things without buttons for the past few weeks. **hee hee**
Anyway, today is the first of three days of solid rehearsal for Lee Roy and the band (John Richardson-drums, Jon Coleman-keys/B-3 and Charles Hayes-bass)... so eventhough John technically isn't gone on tour until next Monday, the gig officially starts today! YAY!
If you want to catch Lee Roy and the band in action, you've got three chances to see them in the Nashville area this week:
Friday (3/3) & Saturday (3/4)
8 p.m.
Sunday (3/5)
9 p.m.
Lightning 100 Sunday Night Live
3rd & Lindsley
I'll be there all three nights!
Come out for one... or all three... no matter what, we'll have a BLAST. After this weekend, you may not have a chance to see them around Nashvegas for a while unless you find yourself in one of the other cities they're touring over the next few months.
And, as I posted a few weeks ago, the new Album "Back to the Well" is INCREDIBLE. You can hear a preview of the album at Lee Roy's site. It's officially available in stores next Tuesday, 3/7.
If you want to get a copy right away, you can also pre-order your very own autographed copy at his site for $14.99. Get 'em while they're hot folks!

Early this week, it became clear that President Donald Trump had decided not to attend the East Asia Summit in the Philippines on Nov. 14.
He should reconsider.
The annual summit brings together leaders from the 10 Southeast Asian countries with eight others from outside the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)—namely, the U.S., China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and India.
This year, European Council President Donald Tusk, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres will also attend.
According to reports, Trump will attend some of the events around the summit, like a U.S.-ASEAN meeting and a gala celebration of ASEAN's 50th anniversary, but will leave for home before the summit itself.
An 11-day trip that will take him from Hawaii to Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam, and the Philippines is a serious time commitment on the part of any president. It is a clear demonstration of America's historic commitment to peace and security in the Western Pacific.
So why is it a big deal if he misses a multilateral meeting of East Asian leaders on the last day? There are a few reasons.
First, the U.S. had earned credit for the president's decision to embark on the Asia trip. Not attending this summit forfeits some of that credit, primarily with countries in Southeast Asia.
Outside of economic issues, ASEAN is mostly a convener of nations, and as such, it is the center of regional diplomacy. Attending the full range of summit events would demonstrate U.S. support for the central role that ASEAN plays.
It would also better frame the more substantively important things the U.S. is doing bilaterally in areas from counter-terrorism and maritime security to human rights.
Second, the East Asian Summit will be producing a statement that summarizes the consensus of the leaders across a range of security issues, including the South China Sea and North Korea's nuclear program.
Sitting down with the leaders there is an opportunity for the president to make his points on these issues. It would help shape a consensus that can then be used in other diplomatic settings.
The administration has offered the solace of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's attendance at the East Asia Summit. Tillerson is a fine representative of the U.S., but he doesn't carry the full weight of the presidency. He simply will not be as effective to these ends.
Third, there is a competition going on in the Pacific between the U.S. and China. There are areas we can work together, but we have many directly opposed interests. In fact, on the most critical issue of the day—North Korea—we are at somewhat cross-purposes.
Not attending the East Asia Summit would leave the field free for the Chinese to drive the consensus on issues important to U.S. interests, and to achieve a public relations coup at America's expense.
Eleven days is a long time to be on the road. Trump is to be commended for making good on the several promises he made over his first year in office to make these visits.
Extending one more day, making another speech, and seeing some of his new friends again at the East Asia Summit is an easy way to reaffirm U.S. leadership in the region and support American interests.

So here's the first of (probably) many times I'll promote some local bands. Held at Nutty's North in Sioux Falls on Tuesday, October 2nd, this was a fantastic show.
The first band to play was Buffalo Kings from Sioux Falls. I had never heard them before, but they put on a good show. Ranging from blues to folk to a little tinge of western, the band only consisted of two members: guitar/vocals, and drums. Still, they did not produce a small sound because of the small numbers. In fact, they were quite powerful and driving.
The second band to play was Welcome to the Cinema, from Brookings. (They are now located in Minneapolis.) The band was recently signed to Speakerphone Records out of Minneapolis, and two friends of mine play in the band. The five member band plays a sort of indie dance rock, and they always keep up a fast and fun show. Their music can be found at http://www.myspace.com/welcometothecinema
The third band to take the stage was Vermillion/Sioux Falls locals We All Have Hooks for Hands. They are on Afternoon Records (also based in Minneapolis). They play folk/pop and are always enthusiastic on stage. There are nine members in the band (though there were only eight playing that night because the violinist couldn't make it) including three guitars, a bass, two drummers, and two keyboard/trumpet players. They have one album out (which I highly recommend) that is available on cdnow.com, emusic.com, and Ernie November in Sioux Falls. Some of their music can also be found at http://www.myspace.com/weallhavehooksforhands

My Kitsch is Their Cool
New America Media/ColorLines, Commentary, Sandip Roy Posted: Aug 01, 2009
I remember the age of the underwear-smugglers.
When I left India almost two decades ago to come to America, my mother folded every spice I could possibly need into my underwear. Turmeric, cumin, little green pods of cardamomall packed carefully between layers of underwear, socks and computer science textbooks. I wasnt the only one. Ive met Indians who smuggled in mangos, homemade pickles and ready-to-fry puris stuffed with peas. In those days before 9/11, customs officials were not very interested in mea young, single, brown man from a turbulent part of the world. They (and their sniffing dogs) were much more preoccupied with middle-aged Indian women visiting their sons. They were rifling through their luggage, searching for contraband mangos and gourds.
Fast-forward 20 years.
My friends and I wander out of an Indian movie theater in Fremont on a mellow California evening. The latest Bollywood release opened here the same day it did in Mumbai. At intermission (for Bollywood films must have an intermission), you can get samosas and chaat along with your popcorn and soda. We go shopping at an Indian market off the main drag. Its Sunday evening. All the shops in the strip mall are closed except for this one. Lit by unflattering fluorescent lights, its shelves are piled high with all kinds of thingslentils, ready-to-cook packages of saag paneer, ayurvedic hair ointments, even the chocolate Bourbon biscuits (no real bourbon in them) that I remember from my childhood in India. Then we squabble over which Indian restaurant to go to for dinner. Do we want North Indian? South Indian? We settle for a buffet with both.
What happened?
Well, we did. There are now 2.57 million Indians in the United States, according to the American Community Survey of the U.S. Census Bureau. That makes it one of the fastest-growing ethnic groups. Indians are well-off, generally. Median family income is over $69,000. Indians are educated, for the most part. Seventy-six percent have at least a college degree. The post-1965 immigrant boom, which resulted from a drastic change in U.S. laws about who could come into the country, was followed by the dot-com boom. In her novel The Tree Bride, Bharati Mukherjee describes how an immigrant fog of South Asians crept into America. When the chronicle of Silicon Valley is written by some 21st century F. Scott Fitzgerald, it might well be called, she writes, The Great Gupta.
India is everywhere. Its in Booker Prize lists, spelling bees and specially-for-you nuclear deals. Its in Sukhis homecooked chicken tikka masala paste at Whole Foods. Its in Bhangra aerobics classes and Britney remixes. Newsweek called South Asians the new American masala. Five hundred years after Christopher Columbus thought he had discovered Indians, we are truly found.
And I am not sure how I feel about that.
When I first came to the U.S., Americans asked me about that dot on the forehead. Now, Madonna wears a bindi. Bollywood borrows Hollywood plotlines (well, two or three for one three-hour film). Now, the Kronos Quartet reinterprets Bollywood composer R.D. Burman. Birthday cards are reproducing old kitschy Indian matchbox covers. Body-hugging T-shirts worn by gay guys in the Castro say San Francisco in Devnagari script. There are even Bollywood appreciation classes at universities. My kitsch has become their cool.
Of course, not everything has been alchemized into cool. My big, fat Indian wedding might be hot (I want one, a gay man with a Southern accent told me at my neighborhood lesbian bar while sipping a sweet cocktail), but it doesnt mean the Indian cabdriver, the 7/11 clerk or the Gujarati storeowner are any more acceptable.
Our Krishnas and curries are now public property to be sampled, remixed, chewed up and spat out as millions of cookie-cutter lunch boxes. (Probably Made in China)
It almost makes me nostalgic for the old days when people came up to me and said, You are from Calcutta? My doctor is Indian. Dr. Harry Patel. I think hes from that other big cityBombay? And they would pause expectantly, as if waiting for me to recognize Dr. Patel. Now, they want to know what restaurant I would recommend in the Bay Area for authentic Indian food, you know, a hole-in-the-wall place where Indians go, not your white-people-Maharaja-Thali stuff.
And I am wondering, do I want to tell you?
But its too late. In San Franciscos Tenderloin, in streets that still smell of piss, where homeless men shuffle around at the street corner, the clutch of Indian and Pakistani restaurants is brimming with hipsters. There are at least half a dozen Indian restaurants within a couple of blocks. Shalimar was the original hole-in-the-wall, in a rundown neighborhood of junkies and musty SROs. It started out as a place where cabbies could run in for a quick bite. Nothing fancy, no tablecloths, just a bustling kitchen and tandoori chickens turning on the spit. Now, the homeless man standing outside trying to sell a street newspaper greets me with a Namaste.
Isnt this what we always wanted? Isnt this what we demanded? For other Americans to understand our culture? Acceptance? A place at the table? I guess we didnt fully realize we could also become part of the menu.
Fifty years ago, my parents emigrated to England by ship. My mother pretended to the fishmonger that she had a cat, so she could take fish heads home for a good Bengali fish-head curry. When I moved to the United States three decades later, she told me stories of how afraid they were to cook fish in their apartment, in case the smell upset the Polish landlady.
At my university in the flat plains of Illinois, we also learned that we had a private culture and a public culture. In the grad student apartments, where many of the Indians shared rooms, we could have our tape players on blaring tinny Bollywood songs and watch streaky, pirated copies of Hindi films, while giant pots of communal dal and rice and curry bubbled on the stove. But in public, we learned to leave that culture at home. Boys didnt hold hands on the street like they did in India, we were told. At the department potlucks, we held back on the spices. On Diwali, we didnt have any celebration in the department, even though half the teaching assistants were Indian. Being Indian was for after work. Then we could finally let our guard down and just breathe.
No more. My private culture has become public. At a recent film festival in San Franciscos Castro neighborhood, the theater was packed for Bollywood night. And the audience was very mixed. Some screenings are 60- to 70-percent white, Ivan Jaigirdar, festival director for 3rd Is South Asian International Film Festival, told me once. Especially the Bollywood films.
I could see that. My friends and I were cringing even as we were having a grand time. It was a strangely protective feeling. Even as we laughed and rolled our eyes at the excess of it all, we stiffened when we heard the blonde woman behind us sniggering. I was thrilled that this candy-color, emotionally charged melodrama was leaping across cultures and entertaining a diverse audience. But the nagging doubt remainswhat really does cross over?
Gaudy and outlandish as they can be, Bollywood films are also an intravenous cultural drip for me. I relate to them somewhere deep inside in a way I, myself, cannot put a finger on. I remember standing in my living room in San Francisco watching an old Hindi movie with my best friend. We oohed and aahed as tragic diva Meena Kumari slowly raised her head, as if the weight of all that gold and brocade was crushing her.
My American friends laughed with us then and at us as we stood in our T-shirts and jeans singing Hindi love songs of indescribable pathos in shrill falsettos, towels draped around our faces like veils. We all laughed together. But my American friends had no idea how we longed in our flat-footed way for Meena Kumaris languid grace, how we tried to line our eyes with hopeless tragedy. And knowing we could never get there, we butchered it all by shrill impersonation, hiding our longing with caricature.
Bollywood is so visually overpowering, so defiant of logic in its Technicolor splendor, that its just too easy to get caught up in the spoofiness of it all. On-screen, Shah Rukh Khans face is quivering with emotion. The blonde woman behind me is chuckling at everythingthe painful buffoonery of the comic relief, the little kid with the stagy lines, the syrupy romantic scenes where thundershowers and shooting stars appear on cue. The camp crosses over. The heart stays behind, lost in the subtitles.
The clock is pushing 1:00 a.m., and the blonde cant believe the movie is still going strong. As one more hurdle shows up before the lovers can reunite, someone groans, We will be here all night. Those not used to Bollywood dont know its like running a marathon. After all their knee-slapping hysterics in the first hour, they are now petering out in the final stretch. They are eyeing the exit sign, wondering how long the queue is at the restroom. They are glancing at their watches. They are laughing less.
And I feel a sweet sensation.
As they stagger out of the theater, clutching their heads, looking like they got off a non-stop flight from Mumbai to San Francisco, sick from all the popcorn they devoured, I cant help thinking somehow, in its own way, Bollywood has had the last laugh.

Hi guys, welcome back to my blog! This week I have reviewed the brow definer from the body shop.
Body shop are cruelty free and this product retails at £9.00 for a 1.4g product. I purchased the medium brown shade which is perfect for me, but a dark brown and light brown shade are also available.
Body shop also say that the product is dermatological (tested on human skin) and ophthalmologically tested, which means it is tested for eye irritant- perfect for anyone with sensitive skin!
It is a three in one brow definer. It is two thirds eyebrow pencil, then a third highlight with a comb on the lid too.
It gives good natural colour (no-one wants their eyebrows to look like slugs!) The highlight is an excellent idea, which I put just under my arch and blend either with my fingertip or a brush. The comb on the lid is very handy too!
If I am in a rush I just use the eyebrow pencil but usually I use my urban decay powder kit over the top of this to exaggerate my brows more!
Thanks for reading my post! What eyebrow products do you use?

A Biped Against Corruption
Exposing Corruption @ National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Mohali
Tuesday, 13 February 2018
NIPER Kolkata students agitating
Demands are simple..........
To whom so ever it may concern
Honorable Sir
I am a student of NIPER, Kolkata. The National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education & Research is a premier group of institutions in the field of Pharmaceutical sciences in India. The students studying here have to qualify two all India level entrance examinations in order to come here. In short, we are the creamy layer of Pharmaceutical sciences. Our institute was declared as an institute of national importance by Govt. of India through Act of Parliament (NIPER Act 1998 & NIPER Amendment Act 2007). Yet we, the students are not getting the basic facilities, faculties, education or anything in that regard that we deserve. This has led us tto write this letter mentioning all our problems, hoping to get some solutions from the higher authorities.
v Issues:
Ø Last year we filed a grievance like this to the PMO with all our identities which were supposed to be confidential. But all our respective data were forwarded back to the Director from the PMO, we don't know how. May be he has got strong political connections. Keeping this in mind and because of the non fulfillment all the addressed points in that grievance
We don't want Dr.V. Ravichandiran as Director (Dictator)
He does as he wishes without any regards to the needs and problems of the students.
Ø Legitimate and capable guide for Ph.D scholars as well as MS(Pharm) students:
The major problem is guide. One person, the Director, is guide for 20 Ph.D. students at a time.
Only a single guide is allotted for 8 to 9 M.S students. No MS(Pharm) students have started any work regarding project.
Ø Faculty specific for each stream with proper qualifications is not available.
Ø No placement for any branch & absence of working placement cell:
There are seven NIPERs in India and maximum students of each one of those institutes have already been placed in their respective fields except here.
Ø Mental Harassments of each student with dire consequences:
To bring to your notice, about half of our strength is suffering from migraine not because inheritance but of the harassment we face.
The all India first ranker in the field of Medicinal Chemistry has left from our Institute because of this harassment.
Ø The Fellowship is not coming on regular basis on time.
Ø Lack of chemicals, instrumentations and databases for respective branches.
Ø Hostel issues are not addressed in hostel.
The issues are many more and the solutions from the administration is NONE till now. So I request to address these at the earliest possible. Even it would be better if the concerned authority can come here to have a word with us and see our pathetic condition directly.
I do hereby declare, in my full consciousness, without any external pressure from anyone else that the following points regarding the problems that I am facing at NIPER Kolkata are true to the best of my knowledge. I request the person reading this letter, with folded hands, to kindly solve my issues at the earliest as my career and hence my life is at stake and I won't be backing off even if I am forced by the authority to do so.

NIPER: Good governance, transparency on agenda
Tribune News Service
Mohali, September 13Improving NIPER happiness index by offering good governance and transparency for productivity is on top of the agenda of the five-year manifesto of the institution, said NIPER's new director Dr Raghuram Rao, here, today. Releasing the manifesto, the director said the five main focus areas of the institution included making it a global campus, harmonisation of NIPER research with national needs, promoting employability through skill enhancement and support to small and medium pharma units. "For the purpose, we would introduce a dual degree programme with international universities, improve creativity and productivity of employees," said the director, adding that it was his endeavour to make NIPER 'grievance free' in the larger welfare of the institute and the country.

NIPER Saga continues.....................
We would like to share something which is probably the first of its kind anywhere in the world. In the afternoon of 1st August 2017, we received a letter through email from NIPER Hajipur Administration asking us to vacate the hostel within 24 hrs of the receipt of it (the letter has been attached). Reason: The institute do not have a suitable advisor to guide us after our previous advisor (who was temporary and contractual employee of the institute) resigned in mid-January, 2017.
We have been "assured" that once the appointment of new faculty would be made, we would be called back. Clearly, the order is unconstitutional, but at NIPER Hajipur, hardly anything works as per rule. NOT following NIPER Ordinance on Academic and examination is fashion here. For all NIPERs it is mandatory to follow the ordinance. Questions which are haunting us and for which we want answers are:
1. Why PhD scholars are being harassed for the mistake of the Institute? If there are no suitable guides, how we are responsible for that?
2. We were writing our thesis as all our objectives are done. How we would write our thesis at home and who would be guiding us at home?
3. Why the letter is silent about our stipend during our "forced leave" period.
4. What if NIPER Hajipur could not find any suitable candidate? How long would be our "forced leave"? and finally
5. What if the new faculty (who would also be appointed temporarily for one-year contract) refused to accept us as his student as the letter say "who may be your PhD advisor"? Where would we go then?
We, Venkateshwaran T and Bhavana Panthi, are PhD student of Department of Pharmacoinformatics, enrolled in the year 2013 at NIPER Hajipur. We started our PhD here with complete uncertainty from beginning as this institution does not run as per rules prescribed in the NIPER Ordinance, which every NIPER has to follow. Whatever the Director says, becomes the rule. None dare to ask question and in this way he is ruling the institute.
We dared to question his orders and since then we are being harassed.
We completed all our objectives (conveyed by our previous guide to the Director) and presented entire work to Student Research Committee (SRC; the Committee meant to monitor progress of a research student) on 14th January 2017, which was approved by the committee. On 17th of January 2017, our thesis advisor submitted his resignation and since then the institute hasn't assigned any advisor having expertise in Pharmacoinformatics. The advisor and joint advisor assigned were not according to the Ordinance and hence illegal. That was the reason we refused to accept and finally it came to the level where we received the attached letter from the Deputy Registrar. Not only the content is bizarre, it also reflects the state of a National Institute and its functioning. The letter also raises a very pertinent question and that is "if there is no suitable expert in the Department of Pharmacoinformatics, how two more new PhD scholar were admitted this year and who would be guiding them"? The reason due to which we have been asked to vacate the hostel must also be applicable to new scholars who would NOT be getting their PhD advisor till the end of August as required by the NIPER Ordinance (the last date of submission of application for the recruitment of new faculties is 31st August 2017).
We have tried to reach the ministry through all possible means of communication but didn't get any positive response (It is worth to mention here that all NIPERs are under the Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Fertilizer and chemicals, Govt.of India). Therefore, we went to our home. On Aug 10, we got information, a ministry official visited the institute and talked to our students and said that the Forced leave order has been cancelled. However we have not got any official intimation in this regard yet.
We are in the middle of writing our thesis and without the system and specialized software, we would not be able to write anything because our work is totally based on computational drug discovery related areas. At present when we have to just submit our thesis, we are being tortured and harassed by the NIPER Hajipur administration. Past 4 - 5 months it has been very depressing and every other day we are being subjected to humiliation by the NIPER administration and faculties of other departments.
We are losing our hope fast and we are not sure if we would be able to complete our Ph.D. from here (NIPER, Hajipur). We are forced to write this with the hope that we can get some help and support from this group as we have exhausted all other channels of negotiation.

REPUBLICANS in Maryland have to broaden their base if they expect to win statewide office soon.
That's the conclusion of Ellen R. Sauerbrey, who lost the last two gubernatorial elections because her conservative GOP support proved too narrow. She and other party leaders are endorsing a plan to let independents vote in the Republicans' big presidential primary next March.
That would be a wise move by the state's minority party, whichhas made little headway in denting Democratic dominance of statewide offices. Democrats still retain a roughly 2-to-1 margin in voter registration. To become viable in statewide races, Republicans must appeal to independent voters.

Music Industry News Network [06-11-2017]
Edison Research: Broadcast Radio Controls More Than Three-Fifths Of Canadian Listening
While broadcast radio controls more than 50% of all audio usage in the United States, the medium is even healthier in Canada. Whether heard over-the-air or via streaming, AM/FM radio stations account for 61% of all Canadian listening, according to Edison Research's first Canadian "Share of Ear®" study. By comparison, streaming audio services comprise only 9% of listening, compared to 15% in America.
"Share of Ear" has accurately and consistently measured audio listening across platforms in the U.S. since 2014. "Share of Ear: Canada" was commissioned by Radio Connects, Canada's radio marketing and advocacy group. The presentation was unveiled this morning in Toronto as part of an event for the advertising community sponsored by Numeris, Canada's broadcast ratings cooperative.
"Share of Ear" uses diary methodology to determine both the amount and nature of audio consumed by users in an average week. AM/FM radio is followed by listeners' owned music collections (16%), streaming audio (9%), TV music channels (6%), SiriusXM Satellite Radio (4%), and podcasts (3%). The study also found that Canadians average 4 hours and 14 minutes of listening to audio daily, slightly more than their U.S. counterparts. Canada has a unique audio landscape. Some of the audio brands familiar to Americans are unavailable, particularly Pandora. In addition, 2017 will be remembered as a significant year for Canadian audio with the nationwide launch of both iHeartRadio Canada and Radioplayer Canada. "Share of Ear" provides a first look at how Canadians use all sources of audio and provide a benchmark for years to come.
"We are pleased to bring our unique methodology for capturing all audio to Canada for the first time," says Edison Research president Larry Rosin. "Bravo to Radio Connects for giving broadcasters a potent tool to demonstrate the power of the medium in a way that goes beyond empirical evidence, and for providing the entire audio industry with a report card."

The first of the habits we're going to cultivate is often 'easier said than done'.
Be Kind to Your Self
Many things keep you stuck in a place I like to call "self-bashing". While you're grieving the feelings of guilt and anger are especially powerful – they can send you into a tail-spin of blame and self-criticism. The physical effects of grief, such as sleeplessness, lack of hunger, and depression can bring you into that dark place too, where you feel it's appropriate to be less than kind to your Self.
Quotation for the Day
"Self-care means honoring and respecting the miraculous being that you are. Self-care means learning to listen with the ear of a dedicated mother to your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, and then taking full responsibility for getting them met. Self-care means taking 100% responsibility for creating an environment that nurtures your physical, emotional and spiritual selves." ~ Carl Benedict

Strategy: The coffee brand Douwe Egberts wanted to sell more coffee. They based their campaign on the insight that every good conversation is held while having a cup of coffee. At home, at work or at a restaurant. So how do we sell more coffee? Simple: create more conversations.
Idea: Based on this strategy, Douwe Egberts launched the campaign "A good conversation starts with Douwe Egberts". To support this campaign, they created the "conversation cup". A coffee cup that helps you choose a conversation subject. Simply put your spoon in the cup and let it decide for you.
Results: The campaign led to a lot of heated conversations at the workplace and restaurants where they were distributed. They gave a great boost to the campaign "A good conversation starts with Douwe Egberts".

What is the easiest and most versative MIDI keyboard out there? Do they come with things like pedals to control sustain, and other things (I\'m a flamenco guitarist, sorry, forgive me if these are foolish questions.)
Anyone use and recommend a MIDI guitar (w/ pedal) instead of a keyboard for inputting non-guitar instruments? Or is that just plain dumb?

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – Puerto Rico residents still struggling with basic needs, like electricity, are in line for some help from dozens of St. Louis-area volunteers.
Mark Birk, senior VP of customer operations for Ameren Missouri, says as of yesterday, more than 6-dozen electricians representing both Missouri and Illinois are making the long trip down to the hurricane-ravaged island.
He says they'll put in an incredible amount of hours trying to restore power to thousands of homes.
"They're working seven days a week, 14 to 16 hours a day, so after a while people start to get tired and we have to rotate, so we rotate people in and out," he says.
To avoid burn-out, crews will be rotated out every three weeks, but Birk says they're in this for the long haul and workers will be out until all electrical service is restored

Snowboard manufacturer Fanatic Snowboards has built their new premium board models using TeXtreme® Spread Tow Fabrics. The high-performance snowboards, Blade and Duoblade, are designed to be the lightest in their categories on the market.
Both the Blade (Freeride) and Duoblade (Freestyle) boards have been tested by team riders for a year and both models enter the market this winter. Fanatic Snowboards has connections to Fanatic Windsurfing who have had successful premium windsurfing boards released. The experience and success of these windsurfing boards gave Fanatic Snowboards the incentive to test TeXtreme®. Jerry Niedermeier, Product Manager of Fanatic Snowboards, says: "Based on Fanatic's experience with TeXtreme® collected in the past, we were able to combine ultra light weight with dynamic properties, while displaying the material used in transparent areas. We are extremely happy with the performance and the success on the market to date." TeXtreme® is an optimized premium carbon reinforcement used in applications and products where there are extreme needs for weight savings and performance. For Fanatic Snowboards the optimal TeXtreme® reinforcement proved to be an unbalanced Spread Tow Fabric. This enables them to achieve greater strength and stiffness in the desired directions, which ultimately gives the snowboards the right feel. About OxeonFounded 2003 in Sweden, Oxeon has quickly established itself as the market leader in Spread Tow Reinforcements. Use of these spread tow carbon reinforcements increases the mechanical performance of composite material products and reduces the weight. Utilization of Oxeon's TeXtreme® Spread Tow Fabrics and TeXtreme® Spread Tow Tapes by manufacturers of advanced aerospace, automotive, industrial and sports products in applications that have critical material performance requirements has affirmed the significance of Oxeon's ultra light materials.

Roorda LD, Molenaar IW, Lankhorst GJ, Bouter LM, and the Measuring Mobility Study Group. Improvement of a questionnaire measuring activity limitations in rising and sitting down in patients with lower-extremity disorders living at home. OBJECTIVE: To improve a self-administered questionnaire that includes 42 dichotomous items and measures activity limitations in rising and sitting down (R&S) in patients with lower-extremity disorders who live at home. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Outpatient clinics of secondary and tertiary care centers. PARTICIPANTS: Patients (N=759; 47% men; mean age +/- standard deviation, 60.7+/-15.2y) living at home, with lower-extremity disorders resulting from stroke, poliomyelitis, osteoarthritis, amputation, and complex regional pain syndrome type I. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: (1) Unidimensionality, indicating that items assess only a single construct; (2) fit with the one-parameter logistic model (OPLM), yielding information about patient and item location parameters; (3) intratest reliability, indicating consistency of patients' item scores; and (4) content validity, indicating completeness with which the items cover the important aspects of the construct that they are attempting to represent. RESULTS: Thirty-nine of 42 items: (1) loaded on 1 component (variance explained, 59%; item component loadings, >/=.51), (2) showed good fit with the OPLM (P=.15), (3) had a good intratest reliability (Cronbach alpha=.96), and (4) had a good content validity (all important aspects represented). CONCLUSIONS: A unidimensional scale that fits with the OPLM has been developed for measuring activity limitations in R&S in patients with lower-extremity disorders who live at home

College Park, MD (PRWEB) November 14, 2013
University of Maryland climate change expert Antonio Busalacchi, who predicted the U.S. Navy would need to undertake more and larger humanitarian relief missions due to intensifying storms, reports today that the current situation in the Philippines is exactly what he and other experts foretold.
In 2011 Busalacchi co-chaired, with Retired U.S. Navy Admiral Frank Bowman, a National Research Council report, "National Security Implications of Climate Change for U.S. Naval Forces." The committee report forecast that disaster relief duties would increase for the Navy and Coast Guard as a result of climate change.
"Expected increases in extreme temperatures, storms and flooding around the globe mean the Navy must prepare for more frequent humanitarian missions," Busalacchi said when the report was released in March 2011. The Navy is now spearheading multi-national relief efforts in the Philippines, where Typhoon Haiyan's record winds of 195 miles per hour wrought massive devastation.
"Unfortunately, this is playing out precisely as we expected and foreshadowed in our report," Busalacchi said today.
Busalacchi is the Director of the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center, a joint research center of the University of Maryland 's College of Computer, Mathematical and Natural Sciences and the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center. He is available to talk to the news media about the impact on U.S. Naval forces of intensifying storms due to climate change.

Heeding the storm warnings JAB secured everything in our yard pretty well. When the wind tore the tarp awning (whatever) over our bicycles, they got another tarp and covered them directly. Things look pretty good, if a bit windblown. Some mistletoe was torn out of a tree. Many oranges fell. The hummingbird feeder fell and broke. (I put a hole in the cap of a plastic water bottle and hung it up. We saw a hummingbird trying it today.)
Unfortunately, when the storm abated, we noticed a few shingles on the ground. During a break between storms Saturday, the guys went up on the roof to assess the damage. Not so good. One section (south side over the family room) lost about 20 or so shingles. I went to Home Depot and got shingles and roofing nails, but by the time I got them home, the rain had begun again. Unable to find another tarp, and unwilling to risk my sons, we left the roof and hoped for the best.
I learned that I am afraid to go up on the roof. I climbed up the ladder, surprised at how uneasy I was, but just did NOT want to get on the roof. I am too old, heavy and not so spry. I clearly remember years ago I had to go on the roof for something. I was ok until it was time to get down. I COULD NOT get from the roof to the ladder. I just froze with fear. David had to come help me. So, I was quite relieved when the boys said there was no need for me to get on the roof, they would handle it.
It is frightening to wonder how the house has faired in the rains since the shingles went. No signs of leakage inside at least. I am hoping we don't have an attic full of saturated insulation and wet wood.
Naturally, this morning, Sunday, was lovely and sunny. Not only is it the Sabbath, but we meet in the morning now. We wondered and worried whether - if the weather held - to work on the roof today or brave the night coming rains and work the next time the weather cleared. Our home teacher said that it is the tar paper under the shingles that really protect the house. The guys decided to go up after eating and check out the tar paper. No tar paper. Under our shingles, we have wood. From the rooftop, the guys called our home teacher and then Tom. After various consulting, they decided they need to patch what they can. They are racing the rain and the dark. It is nearly 4 now. The forecast said it would be raining by now.
I am so lucky to have these boys! They are good naturedly working away up there. What would I do without them?
Our new home teacher (also YM Pres and good friend's father-in-law) kept trying to make a first appointment last month(?), but life was just too full and in too much disarray. Frustrated, he said to me at church, "You WOULD let me know if you need anything, wouldn't you?!"
"What do you know about plumbing?" I asked. Our kitchen faucet was not dripping, it was running as if it had not been turned off. (Cold, fortunately!) Joseph and I looked at our fix-it books and were feeling pretty nervous about attempting the repair. (One home fix-it book cautioned us not to try it on the weekend when plumbers are even more expensive.)
Within a day or so, I got a late evening phone call. "I just got home from work and had a bite to eat. Can I come look at your faucet now?" He came over with his magic toolbox, took apart the faucet, produced a part that actually fit! and was done in minutes. Then he sat down to visit with us for a minute. Somewhere along the line he revealed that he gets up - I forgot how early, but earlier than me and my alarm is set for 5:15 . It was around 9:30 then and I was seriously fading. He must have been exhausted. "What are you doing here? Go home!" He was so nice about coming over and acted like it really was a pleasure and not a sacrifice to help us.
He is a terrific guy.
Which leads me to YM and Scouting. In Perkins Ward, Scouting is for Deacons. The older boys do many good things, including many things Scouts, especially older Scouts, might do. However, here again we encounter the fear that the older boys might not think Scouting is cool. Our loyal Scouts will stay active no matter what the program, so it doesn't matter that they enjoy Scouting and are willing to put up with the pesky younger boys so they can teach, lead and help the younger boys become better. Trouble is, I am not convinced that NOT doing Scouting brings in or retains the other guys. But that is the theory. The YM (and YW! but I am talking about my Scouts here) do many good things and fun things. They are very service oriented. They actually enjoy their frequent service projects. It is the spirit that counts. Still, I wish they could have the Scouting program as part of that spirit as I know it can be. This also makes it a little more of a challenge for Ben to work on his Eagle. I am going to check with the YM leaders about my fledglings and also about older boys and Scout camp.
4:20pm The boys asked me to go climb the ladder and observer their labors. It is not much to ask. bye

Thanks Kok Sheng (I'm sorry they cropped your photo and we can't see much of Chek Jawa in the end >:-[ ), Ron, Siva, Ria, Marcus and YC for your input and encouragement, and Kelvin for your kind patience. Most importantly, I hope I made a difference with this piece.

Jackson had a very fun Halloween carnival on Friday night. It was so great to see how the community comes together to put it on. All the food and nearly everything else was donated by families. And then local ward youth and University of Utah students ran the games and the haunted house. It was a lot of fun...and very busy.
Unfortunately, Michelle got sick on Thursday and couldn't go. She was so disappointed because she'd been looking forward to it for months.
But Ella had a great time...
There was a costume contest and Ella saw several of her friends.
Kids decorated pumpkins and had a display.
They got their faces painted.
They went "fishing" and had haunted hula hoop contests.
There were also crafts to make, a "spooky" haunted house, a bean bag toss, a cake walk, Halloween Bingo, a pumpkin walk (like the cake walk but you won a pumpkin) and other games. We didn't even have time to go to all of the games, but it was sure fun. I also saw a former student who is now in college. She was there painting faces, so that was fun. And since one of my best friends has her daughter in Ella's class, I got to hang out with her all night. It was great.


text: Nikki Bella made good on her promise to get completely naked if she and her twin sister, Brie, reached 500,000 subscribers on their YouTube channel. In early April, Nikki vowed that she and her new fiancé, fellow WWE star John Cena, would show off their birthday suits if their fans came through. And came through they did, as their goal was reached within days. On Friday, the couple posted a video of themselves stripping off their clothes and dancing naked around their house. But that's not all. John, who custom-designed Nikki's stunning engagement ring to reflect their romance, actually farts while bending down to pick up his sign for the video. Honestly, just watch the whole thing to see for yourself.

WATCH: 11-year-old Green Day fan has the Time of his Life
It's not every day you get to go to a rock show and end up being one of the stars of the show, having a packed Bell Centre chant your name.
That's exactly what happened Wednesday night in Montreal.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members Green Day gave three very lucky fans a night to remember, as front man Billie Joe Armstrong pulled three people out of the massive crowd to join him on stage.
One of them, 11-year-old Nathan, was asked if he could play guitar, and if he knew how to play three chords. Armstrong taught him on the spot how to play that band's song "Knowledge," from their 1991 album 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours.
In mere moments the young fan was a rock star.
As if Nathan's night wasn't already made, Armstrong told him he would get to keep the guitar.
Green Day and opening act Against Me! continue their tour of the province on Thursday, March 23, at the Centre Vidéotron in Quebec City.

|Unlock Forum posting with Annual Membership.
I'd like some Christian book recommendations for our niece who is 15. She's a very sweet girl who lives in a transitional neighborhood - we are trying our best (from a distance) to help her make positive choices in her life but she puts up with fighting, bullying and things like that at school. She's Christian and attends church regularly and really likes it, but currently lives with my elderly MIL who is unable to get her to the youth group meetings, etc. So reading is one outlet that she has that is positive in her life, but it seems like a lot of the Young Adult fiction is sort of trashy. I'd like fiction and non-fiction recommendations, if there's anything you think might be appropriate. Her reading level is probably avergare for her age.
Thanks in advance!
Melody Carlson's Diary of a Teenage Girl series or her True Colors series. Very edgy Christian fiction that talks about what really goes on for teens without sugarcoating it like other Christian books do.
I almost picked up that book because it looked so good! LOL
Thanks, Deborah! :)
Last Edited on: 2/11/09 12:03 AM ET - Total times edited: 1
I looked up the Diary series and it seems exactly like what I'd like to send her. I'd like to get a deal on all of the books if I can, so I posted in the BB.
Thanks again. :)
Covenant Child by Terri Blackstock might be a good one for her to read. Amazon has quite a few reviews on it, if you want to take a look. It isn't specifically written for teens, but it is about a set of twins and their life up through 18--I think. I thought it was very thought provoking, especially since as a retired high school teacher, I worked with teens from all backgrounds and circumstances for many years.
Another author that deals with real problems that teens face is Lurlene McDaniel. Often her books talk about heath problem, death or dying. Her Angel Trilogy might be good. I've only read the first book, which is Angels Watching Over Me. It is about a teen who is by herself over Christmas, if I remember correctly. Her mom has remarried and is off on her honeymoon, so the teen is on her own, in a new town, and winds up in the hospital.
Thanks for the recs. :)
If she is interested in fantasy, there is some amazing Christian fantasy out there, in particular the Dragonkeepers Chronicles and the Binding of the Blade series. There are also several other popular ones that I have not read. Christianbook.com is definitely a good place to find more information and suggestions. They also have fairly good prices if you can't find the books used.
Here's the Teen section at Christian Book Distributors. You can search by different genres. :o)
i loved reading the left behind kids series as a teen. focus on the family has a lot of great christian books. i am 19 and have subscribed to the christian girls magazine "brio and beyond" and i LOVE it. the brio website has book suggestions specifically for the teen girls
Stephanie's post reminded me of a "Bible in magazine format" that I gave my teen-age grand-daughter. It is just the New Testament, I believe, and it really looks like a magazine. It is written in the New Century Version translation, which is very good--IMO. It is called Resolve. You might want to check it out. I know it is on Amazon.com and probably at Christian Book Distributors.
Thanks again for the recs - lots of good choices!
For non-fiction I would recommend anything by Hayley DiMarco. Her books deal with difficult situations that teenage girls have to deal with. My church library has most of her books and they are extremely popular with the teenage girls.
If you haven't found them I can look at the thrift store when I go.
Sandra Byrd writes a lot of YA Christian fiction. Lisa Sampson's new Hollywood Nobody is also a great teen read. I second the recommendation of Melody Carlson. She might also enjoy some of the Christian chick lit such as Kristin Billerbeck, Laura Jensen Walker, or Trish Perry, or the chick mysteries like Sharon Dunn (who is very popular here).
Thanks for all the recs! I ordered the Diary series for her and also a "Woman of Faith" book:
Gardenias for Breakfast (Women of Faith) by Robin Jones Gunn. It seemed like a story she could relate to. :)
if she ends up liking that Robin Jones Gunn book, she can also try her teen series, the Christy Miller and Sierra Jensen series. actually all of RJG books are really good for any age.
I've got four of her books listed. My 12 year old daughter loved them!!
The Christy Miller series by Robin Jones Gunn is a gem. I LOVED it as a teen--and still do.
I also really like The Secret Life of Samantha McGregor series by Melody Carlson. They are about a girl who sees visions and uses them to solve mysteries. I love reading them as an adult, but they are very teen-appropriate.
"And the Bride Wore White" by Dannah Gresh is awesome. It speaks to the very real struggles, hopes and dreams of teen girls and includes personal application/ journal questions and suggestions. I came across this as a single young adult (about 8 years ago) and went through it with my teenage cousin. Dannah's style is gentle yet genuine- she even includes entries from her own journal as a teen. I highly recommend it.

Why does no one else want to comment on this? I suppose I'll start it off.
1. Somehow, moving to the U.S. doesn't really register strongly with my memory. But the first time my family moved off base did. On the military base, I didn't notice any real cultural differences or racial differences. When I started my new school off of the base, I recall standing out like a sore thumb. Kids kept staring at me. Not many asians in Alabama. And all the black girls loved my hair and kept playing with it telling me how gorgeous it was. And this boy that sat next to me passed me a note: "Do you like me? Yes__ No__ Maybe__" I was mortified!
2. When I was roughly 4 years old, my mom and I were in the market place. She was looking at something and I was just observing different things, not really paying attention to my mom. A hand grabbed my own hand and we began to walk off. After several steps, I hear them say, "She's so pretty!" and someone took my other hand. I looked up to see an older woman and a young man holding my hands and not my mom. We didn't get too far before my mom came running up from behind and grabbed me. These two strangers tried to kidnap me. I think about that every once in a while and how different life could have turned out for me. This happened when I lived overseas, so there is absolutely no telling what was in store.
3. This one is from when I was older: the day my dad looked at me and chuckled, "You're so weird." And he gave me a hug. It was the moment I realize he accepted me just the way that I am. I had always felt a bit like the black sheep, and in my early twenties I started to feel estranged from my family and was never quite comfortable around them. Those emotions washed away with that hug.
4. Falling in love for the first time. Head over heels love. We had an instant connection. It was love at first site, and our humor was exactly the same and we felt so comfortable around each other. He was beautiful inside and out. And a few dates later, we had our first kiss. We stayed up all night, decided to go on a creepy walk through the woods, eventually found ourselves by the lake on the bench. It was cold and we huddled together to stay warm. I jokingly said I needed to keep my hands under his arm pits to stay warm. He thought it was hilarious and let me do it. The kiss was so soft. And magical.
5. The day we broke up. We fell out of love after 4-5 years. We had a long history of ups and downs. We grew together. Started when we were 18-19 and ended when we were 25. We both knew it was coming, but we both wanted to deny that it would end. We both kept insisting we'd eventually marry one another, and he even asked my dad for my hand in marriage. I was trying to be a better girlfriend and rekindle the fire. I started buying him gifts and on this particular day, I bought him a hat (which he still wears all the time, 3 years later.) We went out to eat and I gave him the hat. He loved it and put it on immediately. On the drive back home, maybe we got into a slight argument, I don't recall that portion quite well. But, just before he dropped me back off, we broke up. We still loved each other, but it felt less romantic. We weren't lovers anymore. And for so long he had felt like a soul mate. In fact, he still does. But we both agreed that we felt more like brother and sister than boyfriend and girlfriend. I was still upset that I was closing a chapter of my life. I got out of the car and slammed the door. I walked in my house and slammed that door, too. I proceeded past my concerned roommates and friends who were making pancakes and drinking beer, went down the hall to my room and then slammed that door, too. I sat on my bed in silence for 30 minutes. One of my roommates (the ISTJ male of all people) knocked on my door and asked in his best Fi-sympathizing tone, "You okay? Ya want some pancakes and beer?" It made me giggle a bit and I sighed and then agreed that I did. I came out and was fine. I didn't cry this time.
5. The first concert my sister and I went to. She won tickets to No Doubt on the radio. My dad drove us to the city. It was so amazing. No Doubt was one of my sisters and one of my favorite bands. We had fun, and on top of that, my sister and I really started to bond. We made it a habit, especially once I became of age to drive, to regularly spend our money on concert tickets. It became our thing: music. Music brought my sister and I close together. We always fought in our younger years. But we became best friends by going on these events together. During the summer months, we'd have a concert lined up almost every week. It was a great time.
6. The first time I got high... there were pills involved. I went into the craziest trip. I thought I died that night. My moves became repetitive and I couldn't stop myself. I felt like I had stepped into M.C. Eschers staircases. It was strange.
(I have to go to work now. But I'll complete this later.)"I don't know a perfect person.
I only know flawed people who are still worth loving."

Hmmm . . . Hard to do, but I'm old enough to maybe go by decade, one good thing and one bad thing for each plus two bonuses, but I won't start until age three because I don't remember anything much before that and I'm 43 now.
Decade 1:
Bad: Mom telling my step-brother and I that she was divorcing my step-dad. I didn't care about my step-dad but I did care about my step-brother and was very upset at the thought of parting with him. Mom didn't actually divorce for a couple more years, but that pulled the rug out from under my childhood and it never quite grew back.
Good: My second (that I remember) step-dad and I walking across town together on the Fourth of July and him lying to me that I was actually his child from when he and my mom dated in college. I didn't really believe him, but it was nice that he wanted me to feel like he wanted me.
Bonus: The nice step-dad getting killed by a drunk driver. I don't even know how long I was in shock, I just know I felt like I was in a fog off and on for awhile.
Decade 2:
Bad: My grandpa's sudden and unexpected decline in health. He went away to visit his daughter (he was my step-grandpa) and when he came back . . . well, the Grandpa I knew never came back. He was one of the most important people in my life. When he died it was almost anti-climactic, though still painful.
Good: Meeting my husband, or rather talking to him for the first time beyond casual greetings. It was like meeting someone I'd always known for the first time and very surreal.
Decade 3:
Bad: My third child being born with health problems and having to spend time in the NICU. We were very lucky and he recovered quickly, but for a few days we didn't know if he would make it. It was terrifying.
Good: Meeting my dad. We still aren't what you'd call close, but we are, in ways, kindred spirits and him being my dad explains a lot about why I'm like I am.
Bonus: Almost being homeless in a strange city with a baby and a fetus and/or my grandma dying.
Decade 4:
Bad: My fourth child developing an aneurysmal bone cyst on his leg and having surgery to repair it. It turned out fine and he nothing more lasting than a scar, but it was very scary at the time because they didn't know if he would be permanently crippled.
Good: My husband getting his first good paying job. It was an increase of $200/week and I thought we were rich."There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

1. Going to school for the first time. I was in heaven. Learning and friends all day long!
2. Randomly going to 3rd grade at a public school. I went to a private school from k-12 except that year. I became friends with an Albanian girl who was in the country for that year only for surgery. We're still in contact. Also, it was the first time I ever felt like a social outcast. It was a really neat experience overall.
3. Driving home from a family vacation in a tornadic storm. I wanted to be a meteorologist as a kid and was obsessed with weather. It was terrifying.
4. My first kiss. I was crushing so hard on my 7th grade boyfriend, and still think that's the highest I've ever been on hormones in my life. I literally remember feeling like I was floating when we kissed during a slow song at a school dance.
5. Going to a rival high school. I decided to go to the rival high school of the one I was on track to go to (my elementary school had a high school too). I wanted a change, and was excited to make new friends and keep the old.
6. Being in my first play. I felt like I was at home.
7. Winning the battle of the bands. I was in a rock band with some guys when I was in high school. We won the battle of the bands in front of a crowd of hundreds of people with the only four songs we had written. We got to record them at a fancy studio, and it was so cool.
8. Being on a bus in the mountains in Mexico all by myself. I felt so free.
9. Meeting my husband. He drove me and two exchange students around Detroit so they could check out the city. I barely knew him, but he was so cool to us and we all had a great time.
10. Driving up the coast with wine buzzes on our honeymoon listening to Tennis smoking cigars that we bought at some crummy country gas stationYou hem me in -- behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
