Spring is here, spring is here! Who doesn't love warmer days, lush green grass and bright flowers popping up everywhere? Spring gets me motivated to spring clean and get our outdoor spaces just as inviting as the indoors. And that means flowers! Flowers in pots, flowers in the garden, and flowers from hanging buckets.
Yes, buckets! I prefer metal buckets rather than the hanging baskets you usually see at the nurseries and garden stores. Even better- they last years, not just a season! Last spring I bought buckets similar to these at my local Tractor Supply to hang on our front porch. We drilled about six drain holes on the bottom of each bucket for excess water to run off, hung them up with some chain and you have yourself a flower bucket!
Each season I change the flowers out: bright Petunias and Pansies in the spring and summer, warm autumn colors in the fall and red poinsettias in the winter. In the fall and winter I usually use fake flowers so I don't have to water or worry about them freezing. And yes, there are some beautiful fake flowers out there these days!
Above are some fake flowers I switch out between my buckets and my chicken coop flower boxes- so cute!
So next time you're temped by the pre-filled hanging baskets at the nursery, remember these metal buckets, how great they look and how long they will last {forever}!
I'll leave you with this picture of one of our sweet ducklings {we have five new babies!} in a tub. Happy Spring!

Danielle Denese sat in long pink negligee and pink panties on a bench down by the pond at Ewhurst Manor. A fabulous colour shot from an original medium format negative of Danielle showing off her plumped up tits through open negligee highlighted by the contrasting green colours from the background 🙂
Tag: Danielle Denese
Danielle Denese – Table Top Tease!
Danielle Denese – Front Room Fancy (Original)
Another shot of Danielle Denese from this set of her posing in someones front room. Another natural view of her as the light from the window behind highlights her naked body.
Danielle Denese – Worth Every Penny!
Danielle's Bushy Bedroom View! (Original)
Danielle Denese posing sat on the bed giving us a cracking view of her body and that glorious full bush, just a shame she has that foot in the way! From the same set as this shot, but this time she's moved to the comfort of the bedroom 🙂
When Danielle Met Gerry!
Two shots of Danielle Denese helping Gerry Brown get undressed taken by Terry Sparks
Russell Gay. Danielle has the more classic white underwear and stockings, whereas Gerry has gone for something a little more daring and sexy with a sheer underwear set, although Danielle seems intent on seeing everything by removing Gerry's underwear! These shots appeared in the 1960's Glamour Book and unfortunately are the only two from this set that I have seen, but I'd love to have seen the full set and where this strip ended up?
Update: Thanks to Terry for letting us know it was him that took these fabulous shots not Russell Gay and that they taken in November 1968 at the flat of Danielle's boyfriend. Always good to get some context around shots like these 🙂
A Delicious Danielle Denese!
The delicious and very natural Danielle Denese posing naked in an armchair in someone's front room! In all of the images I have and seen of Danielle she seems to prefer the natural look down below, which went against the style a lot of the other models that posed for GHM. Saying that it was the late 1960's and preferences and censorship laws were relaxing to allow you to see more 🙂
Could It Be Danielle?
I love a good mystery normally, but sometimes recognising the face (and body) of a model, but not remembering her name can be frustrating! This model is one example, as I've published one of my own negatives by Harrison Marks here before, but was unable to name her. Now I've been sent a full set of the same model posing and stripping with a bamboo ladder, but again it was driving me made as to who she was!
Well by chance today I was looking back through my video's and noticed this post of 'Brides in The Bath – Part 2' and damn me, but there she is in the image and video (2:47) as a can-can girl! Then coincidence number two, I was looking through a copy of Nature's Intention Vol.1 No.2 and came across these shots of Danielle Denese. Bugger me it seems to be the same model in all of them, so have I identified her as Danielle Denese? My track record of identifying models isn't bad, but I would say this is one of those 50/50 shots, as the hair, body and facial features match, but I have very few named images of Danielle to actually reference.
I'm going with them all being the same model and it being the model named as 'Danielle Denese' by Harrison Marks, because there's no guarantee that's her name or she didn't model under another name? So one more off the unknown list unless anyone can prove otherwise 🙂

ciao bellas!! everywhere i look, all i see is pale pink nails and berry bright pink toes. it's all the rage this season. check out your magazines like marie claire, vogue, instyle and look online at style.com don't forget to check out all those pretty painted nails on everybody's fingers and toes!! it's everywhere, it's so feminine, and it's completely flattering.
this summer is a classic. your pale pink nails will work with any flower patterned summer dress (totally in this season). and the berry pink toes are sure to make your summer wedges stand out. my recommendations? For sure; paint those tootsies with OPI "That's Hot! Pink" and combo Essie "Adore-a-ball" and "Sugar Daddy" for your fingers.
looking for a little twist? switch your colors and you're sure to make a statement. that berry pink will really pop on your hands, while a demure pale pink will blend in seemlessly with flip flops on the beach.
my prediction for next year?? a bright orange on the toes and a blush pink on the nails. im trying it out as soon as i get back to new york for the summer. but give it a trial run yourselves and let me know how it goes! try these out: OPI "Brights Power" or OPI "DS Treasure" and OPI "Kiss on the Chic"(it's sure to flatter and pop on everyone!)

surfing the waves via 1950
ciao fashionistas! as memorial day weekend approaches one can't help but notice the plethora of bathing suits that have flooded department stores and boughtiques, alike. upon some internet research (since i cannot walk through saks or bloomies while in Roma) i stumbled upon a surprising repetition of styles for this season.
what a throwback designers have gone for! what i the styles section of the new york times refers to as the 'meet and greet' look.. high waisted bikinis have really made quit a show on runways and in dressing rooms. this retro fifties look is uber sheek, and helps concel any winter pounds you haven't shed yet.
another great line that has also gone hook, line, and sinker.. the full-piece. designers have approached this area of swimwear rather cautiously.. but looking at designs, i have to applaude. they combine classic sheek with sex kitten.
here anne klein successfully portrays a demure cut thats sure to flatter every curve.
and here you can see how le truc works with this retro look on a two-piece

Aspen Cop Fired for Giving DUI Reporter Ride Home
According to the Aspen Times, Valerie McFarlane, a police officer in Aspen, Colorado, was let go last month after she failed to file charges against Troy Hooper, an Aspen newspaper editor, for allegedly drinking and driving.
When McFarlane encountered Hooper in downtown Aspen, she picked him up. The two proceeded to have a half-hour conversation, recorded by the police car video recorder, concerning Hooper's "favorable" coverage of the police department. (McFarlane had been put on work-related probation in September for using her badge to get free VIP access to the Jazz Aspen Labor Day Festival for herself and family.)
Hooper reportedly told McFarlane, "You have also been fairly or unfairly put in a position. Not only am I willing to give you the opportunity to walk away from that, I'll give you a few of those opportunities, I really will."
Hooper exited the car at approximately 3:10 a.m., according to public records. No charges were filed.
Aspen Police Chief Richard Pryor declined to give specific comment about McFarlane's departure, but said that it is not unusual for an officer to give a ride home to an intoxicated motorist. However, "when officers make that decision it has to be for the right reason, and cannot be driven by a personal agenda."

Rosemary Murphy, who appeared as the neighbor Maudie Atkinson in the classic 1962 film adaptation of "To Kill a Mockingbird," starring Gregory Peck, died Saturday in New York City. She was 89 and had recently been diagnosed with esophageal cancer.
Murphy, who won her Emmy for portraying the mother of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the 1976 ABC miniseries Eleanor and Franklin, died Saturday at her home in New York City, her longtime agent, Alan Willig, told The Hollywood Reporter. She recently was diagnosed with esophageal cancer.
Murphy won an Emmy in 1976 for her work on the seminal miniseries "Eleanor and Franklin," and was nominated the next year for her work on sequel "Eleanor and Franklin: The White House Years."
The actress had a long career on the stage and was Tony nominated for best actress in a play or best featured actress in a play three times: for "Period of Adjustment" in 1961, "Any Wednesday" in 1964 and "A Delicate Balance" in 1967.
In Fred Zinnemann's 1977 film "Julia," which won three Oscars and sported an all-star cast including Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave, Murphy was sixth billed, ahead of a young Meryl Streep.
The actress appeared in features including Woody Allen films "September" in 1987 and "Mighty Aphrodite" in 1995 and had appeared in a number of films in recent years: 2007′s "The Savages," with Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman; 2008′s "Synecdoche, New York," written and directed by Charlie Kaufman; 2009 horror film "After.Life," starring Christina Ricci and Liam Neeson; and, finally, Galt Niederhoffer's "The Romantics" (2010), in which she played Grandma Hayes.
Murphy was known for her work on soap operas, appearing on "All My Children" as Maureen Dalton Teller in 1977 and on "Another World" as Loretta Fowler in 1988. She was a series regular on brief NBC series "Lucas Tanner" in 1974-75.
Murphy's other feature credits include "That Night!" in 1957; 1961′s "The Young Doctors"; "Any Wednesday," with Jane Fonda Fonda and Jason Robards, in which she was fourth billed; "A Fan's Notes," rat-filled horror film "Ben" and horror pic "You'll Like My Mother," in which she was second billed after Patty Duke, al in 1972; 1973 hit "Walking Tall"; "Ace Eli and Rodger of the Skies" and "40 Carats," also in 1973; and 1980 horror film "The Attic."

No major mobile carriers yet to update their Galaxy S II US variants. After some quite time T-Mobile will host the first US version of the Samsung Galaxy S II to receive its upgrade to Android 4.0. They announced this good new via there Twitter account. The software upgrade will be released via Samsung Kies starting June 11th. Unfortunately, it's not an OTA refresh as we'd prefer. T-Mobile is promising more details soon. Now it's the turn for AT&T and Sprint to update their devices fast and swift.

Thanks, Jim, for that very clear explanation, and Terrence for drawing all the debate! Here's my latest take on a "simple" table, with the sheer volume of data providing the main complexity. Terrence, our testers have made a lot of remarks about the summary - which I designed to be generic so that it could be applied to any table of the same type in the same year. eg "With title reading on the information was good to locate. Without Title reading on, the layout was still good as the summary outlined the design of the table, giving row and column guidelines. This gave me a good mental picture of the table layout." There are two versions of the table. Some screenreaders preferred the first, others found no difference. Still waiting for feedback on a couple of the more obscure screenreaders. http://www.accease.com/testcorner/fsbidheaders.html http://www.accease.com/testcorner/fsbscope.html Judy AccEase Ltd Making online information accessible PO Box 40 670, Upper Hutt Ph +64 4 528 0888 Fax +64 4 528 0889 Mob 0275 375 321 email@example.com www.accease.com -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:email@example.com]On Behalf Of Jim Thatcher Sent: 29 September 2005 7:47 a.m. To: 'Terrence Wood'; 'WAI Interest Group' Subject: RE: Complex Tables and the TH element Hi Terrence, You sure had a lot of responses to this one. I would like to stick my neck out and propose a general technique for data table markup. This terminology has derived from conversations with Sailesh over months; I especially like his terms "layered" and irregular to be used in a minute. A data table is "simple" if there is at most one row and one column of headers. These headers must be marked up with <th> and the scope attribute is required only where the scope is ambiguous or unexpected. The scope of the cell in row 1 column 3 is obviously "col"; if it is not, then use the scope attribute to say scope="row". Always use the scope attribute on the cell in row 1 column 1 because that cell could be either a row or column header - unless it is blank in which case it should be <td>. I know - you are interested in complex tables. Those data tables which are not simple. A complex table (one that is not simple) is "layered" (Sailesh' term) if for every data cell, the heading cells are always in the same row and/or same column as the data cell. This includes spanning in important ways. If a heading cell spans columns 3 through 5, than any data cell in column 3 through 5 has that heading in "its column". Accessible markup for layered tables. This is the "neck sticking out" part. It is appropriate to mark up layered tables with <th> for every heading cell and scope only where ambiguous or unexpected. Today screen readers do not respect this markup but they could and should. Basically they should read all headings that change as you move from cell to cell and provide a key command to announce all headings of any data cell. This concept of layered table actually includes the "classic" example of a complex table requiring headers and id's (http://www.jimthatcher.com/webcourse9.htm#wcf9.7) IF the cells indicating cities were to span all columns - by the argument here, this would then be a layered table and not require headers/id markup. Finally a table is "irregular" (Sailesh again) if it is complex and not layered. Then where data cells have headings not in their row and or column, headers and id's must be used to specify ALL heading cells for that data cell. Jim Accessibility Consulting: http://jimthatcher.com/ 512-306-0931 -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] On Behalf Of Terrence Wood Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2005 6:58 PM To: WAI Interest Group Subject: Complex Tables and the TH element Greetings, I am developing processes for converting complex financial documents to valid, accessible HTML. Traditionally, I have marked up tables where the first column is marked up as a TH and set scope="row" for accessibility (and semantic meaning). However, some of the documents I am working with are 5 column Statements of Financial Position where the first two columns are estimated numbers, followed by a column containing the row labels, and finishing with two columns of actual numbers. A quick perusal of the HTML 4.0 recommendation does not preclude me from marking up the cells in column 3 as TH with scope="row". I am wondering if anyone else has marked up documents in this manner, or can elighten me if this is an abuse of HTML 4.0, or is aware that this presents a significant barrier to assistive technologies? kind regards Terrence Wood.Received on Thursday, 29 September 2005 18:18:17 UTC

On December 18, 2015, President Obama signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 to fund the federal government through 2016 and to extend certain expiring tax provisions.1 The law delays three taxes included in the Affordable Care Act: the 40 percent excise tax on high-cost plans, the health insurance tax and the medical device tax. This Update provides details about these taxes and the delays.
The new law includes three provisions affecting the Affordable Care Act's 40 percent excise tax on high-cost health plans, most notably a two-year delay, from 2018 to 2020. When this excise tax takes effect, it will be paid when the total cost of coverage exceeds a certain threshold. The tax will be paid on the amount by which the total cost of coverage exceeds this threshold. In addition to delaying the effective date of the tax, the law makes the excise tax deductible and calls for a study to determine how best to determine the age and gender adjustment that can result in an increase in the base threshold.
The Affordable Care Act had originally provided that the excise tax was not deductible. However, the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) had raised significant issues regarding deductibility in Notice 2015-52. The Treasury Department and the IRS stated that insurers would likely experience an increase in taxable income as a result of the receipt of excise tax reimbursement from an insured employer-sponsored plan. Because the increase would not be offset by a deduction, the insurer would likely increase the amount charged to the plan to include not only the excise tax reimbursement, but an amount to account for the additional income tax the insurer would incur. Administrative issues with calculating this pass-through were significant, as well as the increase in costs to employer-sponsored plans. Consequently, Congress permanently changed the Affordable Care Act so that excise tax costs are now deductible. The law does not change the threshold levels or indexing for 2020. Absent further legislative changes, the threshold would likely be the 2018 amounts ($10,200 for single coverage and $27,500 for other than single coverage) indexed for the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) plus one in 2019, and the CPI-U in 2020.
The health insurance tax, which took effect in 2014 and is paid by health insurance carriers on their insured business, will be suspended for one year (2017). The amount of the tax varies, but generally can be two to three percent of premiums. Consequently, employer-sponsored health plans will not have to pay the health insurance tax to carriers for their insured plans for 2017. This change does not affect self-insured plans.
The 2.3 percent medical device tax, which took effect in 2013, is suspended for two years (2016 and 2017).
The two-year delay in the excise tax gives Congress more time to devise a longer-term solution, including potentially amendment or repeal.
1 When the Act is available online it will be accessible from the Government Publishing Office (GPO) website. The bill version of the law (H.R.2029) is on the GPO website.

Archaeological site:
This article has been previously published as a part of book Around Ephesus and Kusadasi: TAN Travel Guide by Izabela Miszczak
İsa Bey Mosque (tr. İsabey Camii) is situated at the foot of Ayasoluk Hill in Selçuk. It is one of the finest examples of Seljuk architecture in Anatolia. Katharina Otto-Dorn established that this is the oldest Turkish mosque with a courtyard, as well as the oldest colonnaded mosque with a transept (i.e. a transverse nave) in Anatolia. This mosque is often compared to İlyas Bey Mosque in Miletus, dated to the same period.
Brief history
The mosque is named after its eponymous founder - İsa Bey - a member of the local ruling family. He belonged to Aydınid dynasty (tr. Aydınoğulları), which reigned over the so-called beylik (a kind of Turkish district principality) in the area of the Aegean coast of Asia Minor. Their capital was the first in Birgi, and then - in Selçuk. In both cities, numerous architectural monuments from this period of history have been preserved, and İsa Bey Mosque is one of its best representatives.
According to the inscription placed on the building, its construction was completed in 1375. The architect responsible for the erection of the mosque was Şamlı Dımışklıoğlu Ali. The Seljuk origins of the building are visible in ornamental arabesques, faience mosaics, the western portal of monumental height, and lavish decorations.
As a result of the earthquakes that hit Selçuk region in 1653 and 1668, the mosque was severely damaged. One of its two minarets collapsed completely, and the second one - collapsed at the height of its balcony. Also, the colonnades surrounding the courtyard were destroyed. In the 19th century, the ruined mosque was used as a caravanserai.
With funding provided by the General Directorate of Foundations, a thorough renovation of the mosque was carried out in 1975. Since then it is open to the faithful Muslims and the tourists. Another renovation of the building took place in 2005.
İsa Bey Mosque is very well preserved. It has two main entrances: from the east and the west. Its western walls are covered with marble and the others - with hewn stones. The rectangular plan of the mosque has dimensions of 48 to 56 meters. Its roof is topped by two domes with a diameter of 9.4 and 8.1 meters. The circuits of these domes are decorated with ceramic tiles from İznik.
The inner courtyard with a fountain is surrounded by 12 columns. The columns were brought here from the ruins of ancient Ephesus. The western wall is decorated with engraved inscriptions and geometric shapes. The wall is covered with marble, while the façades on the remaining sides are made of cut stone.
The interior of the mosque consists of two aisles covered with two domes in the centre. There are a mihrab and a pulpit (mimbar), both made of marble. The columns supporting the roof are also classical, from Ephesus ruins.
The mosque now has one minaret, built of brick on an octagonal plan. Once it was adorned with the second minaret, which was not rebuilt after the earthquake in the 17th century. In the vicinity of the mosque stands an octagonal Seljuk mausoleum built with stones and bricks, with a pyramid-shaped roof.
Visitor tips:
The mosque is open to visitors except for prayer times. During the visit remember to behave according to the rules set out for the guests: take off your shoes at the entrance, dress decently and, in the case of women, cover your hair. Tourists can visit only one section of the interior.
Getting there:
İsa Bey Mosque is located on the west side of the city of Selçuk, at the intersection of St. Jean Caddesi and 2040 Sokak.It stands only 300 meters from the ruins of the Temple of Artemis and 250 meters from the entrance to the Basilica of Saint John.

When I first saw this buddleja many years I just had to ask for a few cuttings. Most of the cuttings rooted and the one I kept now reaches 15 feet. (~ 5mtrs) The butterflies and bees love it and it flowers for a long time in summer. Every year I cut it back to keep it small as it would take over my small garden. The deep purple of the flowers are, I think, much better than the lighter purple or the white version.

Chrysler LeBaron GT- Last Summer with a Great Old Car.
A Classic K-car Lived Well
This year makes the 23rd birthday of our 1990 Chrysler LeBaron GT convertible. This grand old dame has seen three generations of owners and has been in the first car of each of the Hardy Boys. The LeBaron was a catch-all name at Chrysler in the 1990's but the vehicle was based on the famous K-Car platform derivative that saved Chrysler from certain death from bankruptcy in the early 1980's. With its 3.0 liter V6 Mitsubishi engine this car had the get up and go tendency. Evan told me he had the speedometer pegged at 130 going up I-75 on very early morning several years ago.
Evan, Ethan and now Ian have all called the old lady their first car. This year looks to be that last season for this trustworthy convertible. Tonight I cleaned her up a bit and took some last shots. Later this summer we may take it up to Caseville for its final curtain call.

John 15:12-13 "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this . . . that a man lay down his life for his friends."
© Jeanne E Webster. All rights reserved
"Lord, give me eyes that I may see, lest I as people will,
Should pass someone's Calvary and think it just a hill."
"He what? He committed suicide? Oh NO! Why didn't he say something? I would have been there for him."
This was a true story played out last week in the life and death of a famous retired baseball player, supposedly happy with his job as announcer for a major league baseball team. Interviews with scores of friends and admirers all related that they knew nothing of his problems. Reality showed they had been blind to his financial troubles.
It wasn't a hill he faced; it was his cavalry. His body was found in his back yard; he had shot himself in the head…and died. Oh God…!
Oh Lord, we are so busy these days, running here and there, feathering our nests, getting a leg up, or just plain living for the gusto of life. We are blind to the red flags popping up around our friends: the panicky stares, the desperate inflections in their voices, the surety in their steps now wavering down the path. We gave them fly-away thoughts. That's all.
If only, Lord…if only we would linger long enough in the lives of others, so they would feel comfortable sharing their troubles. Give us eyes to see their needs, ears to hear their cries of desperation, and mouths to speak words of relief and peace. In today's fast paced society, Father, the world's all like one big blur…zoom, zoom, zoom. Use us for your purposes, Lord. Open our eyes so we may distinguish between a hill and a calvary. A friend's life may depend on it. In Jesus' name. Amen.

STUDENTS staring at their iPod screens may be taking a break with a music video — or they may be reviewing a tough chemistry lecture.
These days, students who miss an important point the first time have a second chance. After class, they can pipe the lecture to their laptops or MP3 players and hear it again while looking at the slides that illustrate the talk.
At least two companies now sell software to universities and other institutions that captures the words of classroom lectures and syncs them with the digital images used during the talk — usually PowerPoint slides and animations. The illustrated lectures are stored on a server so that students can retrieve them and replay the content on the bus ride home, clicking along to the exact section they need to review.
When it's time to cram, the replay services beat listening to a cassette recording of a class, said Nicole Engelbert, an analyst at Datamonitor, a marketing research company in New York.
"Students already have an iPod and they already use them all the time," she said. "You don't need to train them."Continue reading the main story
Professors who know less than their students do about MP3 players won't be at a disadvantage, because the systems require little technical skill to operate. "The best lecture-capture solutions simply require the speaker to turn on a mike and push a button to start the recording," she said. "They are simple to use."
Long before audio files, of course, students were doing "lecture capture" by taking notes, but even rapid writers may fall behind in fast-spoken, highly detailed deliveries. The new technology may help some of these students, especially those in large lecture classes. "But it doesn't necessarily make sense for all groups," Ms. Engelbert said, "for instance, in a more collaborative environment like an advanced composition class with a lot of discussion."
The University of Central Florida uses a lecture-capture system from Tegrity, a company in Santa Clara, Calif., at its college of engineering and computer science in Orlando to record all sessions of about 300 classes a year attended by roughly 2,500 students, according to Alfred Ducharme, an assistant dean.
Tegrity software indexes every word shown on the computer screen during lectures in a database.
"Students don't have to review the whole lecture," he said. "They can type in key words on their computer, do a Google-like search, and open the lecture at that point."
Isaac Segal, the president of Tegrity, said its fees are based on the number of students in the institution or department. Annual fees typically run $25,000 to more than $100,000, he said. Of the 90 institutions now using Tegrity, about half have campuswide installations.
Ronald Danielson, a vice provost at Santa Clara University, which has a site license from Tegrity, said that students use the review system efficiently. "They are very expert at clicking back and forward to the exact spot they want," he said. "They don't listen from start to finish."
Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., plans to use a software application from Echo360, of Sterling, Va., that records lectures and accompanying slides for replay on iPods, iPod Touches, Zunes and other devices, said Edward J. Evans, Purdue's interim executive director for teaching and learning technologies. The university is testing the program in as many as five classes this January, he said, and hopes to extend it to 300 classrooms in the fall.
Echo charges universities $10,000 for an annual site license for audio-only podcasts, and $20,000 for enhanced podcasting with visuals, said Mark Young, senior vice president and general manager. In January, Echo will introduce a new podcasting service for $50,000 that includes dynamic displays like computer animations.
The pressure to buy lecture-capture software has come mainly from students who need to study away from school — during a commute, for instance, said Bryan Vandiviere, the Web presentation technology coordinator at Kansas State University, which has a site license from Tegrity.
Laura Martho, a student at El Centro College in Dallas, finds the replay service invaluable. Mrs. Martho, who has four children, commutes 45 minutes each way four days a week to a hospital for clinical work in echocardiology. During the commute, she plugs an iPod into her car radio to review lectures, and checks visuals during lunch. "Every second counts," she said.
Limor Raz, a Ph.D. candidate at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, reviews lectures in her neuroscience class by computer. "I can't stress enough how much it helped me prepare for exams," she said. "There's a tremendous difference between viewing the lecture once and seeing it again. It's not exactly easy, neuroscience. Trust me, it's very tough."
But Professor Danielson at Santa Clara said that not everyone on his campus was won over to the replay systems.
"Some professors are concerned about having less-than-perfect classroom moments captured for posterity," he said.Continue reading the main story

1995 was the year I was crippled in excruciating pain in a wheelchair. After simply bending over to dry my leg after my shower one morning, I suddenly couldn't get up. I spent the weekend in a chair while waiting to see an acupuncturist on Monday morning. After repeated acupuncture treatments, I tried chiropractics, during which time I was searching for six months for other remedies in alternative medicine. I finally was informed that I had a defect, since birth, in my lower back that had weakened with age and stress on my 6-foot frame.
After 2 cancellations in the hospital for Triple Spinal Fusion surgery, I fled to a hospital inFloridawhere they tried to teach me to walk for 6 weeks, yet to no avail. Depressed and feeling defeated, I returned home in a wheelchair and simply (yet profoundly) prayed to God. Subsequently, I was led to a chiropractor who practices non-invasive techniques. He told me that I 'may never walk again.' We worked together almost daily for two years, placing my bones in alignment. Gradually I could walk again yet very fearfully; the slightest wrong move and the severe pain sent me back for treatment. As a result of my fear, pain and frustration, I again turned to God in deep prayer; I asked, "What are you trying to tell me?" The message I understood was that God had given me a talent as an artist and I was not fulfilling it. I had simply not trusted myself to earn a living through my painting. Yet at that moment, I promised God that if my spine were healed, I would work full time being an artist.
The Miracle happened. My auto mechanic told me about LA Jorei Center that could help heal colds and flu. In June 1997 a very depressed friend came over and I suggested we go together to the center. At this time, my already impaired vision was worsening and was also beginning to frighten me. During my first Jorei treatment my eyesight improved! The pain in my spine, hip and leg vanished. I never went back to the chiropractor yet my back completely healed. I now dance, swim and run…better than I had before these injuries! After only one Jorei treatment, even the relentless spasms in my calves were gone.
Additionally, I immediately stopped seeing my therapist, and after 32 years of releasing my emotions through Bulimia, I stopped this pattern and can only thank Jorei for this triumph. I had previously reacted to life and people through fear and even tried suicide three times over the years. Since commencing Jorei, any suicidal thoughts have entirely disappeared. My body temperature, which used to feel consistently hot, is now normal and my formerly dry skin is now naturally soft. Another miracle is that I am no longer addicted to diet pills for energy, nor do I use laxatives that I had been using regularly since I was 16 years old.
Happiness and confidence surfaced naturally for the first time in my life. Now, I am open, full of love, good humored and laugh regularly. I have patience and I speak with ease and clarity, no longer struggling as I used to. My memory is improving and I no longer feel self-conscious, awkward or out of place. I am now at home in my body, in my mind and in the world. Life has become a pleasure for me and my paintings are privately and corporately commissioned and collected internationally.
Thank you Meishu-Sama for Jorei and your teachings. My heart is full of gratefulness and Love. In March of 1998, I became a happy member in order to give Jorei to others. Thank you Yoshio, Harumi and Meyo for everything!

Modern forms of divination
Anthropology teaches you to respect the knowledge that emerges out of other cultures. Reading Evans-Pritchard on the Azande of Southern Sudan as a student blew my mind. He describes how logical their way of divining who is a witch is, if you understand it, even if you don't agree with it. Beliefs that I had dismissed as primitive were revealed as moral, intelligent and rational in their own terms. You can understand only if you look carefully at how it works in practice.
I'm struggling to do the same to modern forms of divination used in management. Take the two examples of risk and talent management, relatively new business discourses promoted by auditors and human resources consultants respectively. Both demand predictions about the future, one mostly financial and the other focused on the talent of staff. The processes for making these predictions are becoming more specialist, expensive, elaborate and demanding and only intelligible if you study them in great detail. At first glance they seem as irrational as Azande witchcraft but, trained to respect other cultures, I'm trying to appreciate the sense in the underlying beliefs if at all possible.
I'll have a go at understanding one aspect of talent management. To help people understand and develop their skills, the personality test Myers Briggs Type Indicator has become hugely popular. Devised in the 1930/40s, it is loosely based on the ideas of Carl Jung. By filling out a questionnaire you ascertain your personality 'type' on four continua: extrovert vs introvert; sensing vs intuition; thinking vs feeling; judging vs perceiving. Everyone has some of all eight types but you can discover your 'preference' by answering a long list of questions. I went through this process recently at a workshop designed to improve our skills at advocacy. One participant expressed doubts about whether it was useful to spend time thinking about ourselves as individuals when our main challenge was a collective one of navigating power inequalities. This was not relevant to Myers Briggs so the facilitator designated as an extra small group session on another day to deal with power. I asked about the assumption that these preferences are 'in-born'. Yes, they are in-born even if your natural 'type' is beaten out of you by socialisation and culture. Whoops, so that's all my anthropology training (not to mention my slight knowledge of child development) out of the window.
Once we picked our types we did some exercises to validate them and understand more about ourselves. The first was to work in teams to draw a poster of our perfect holiday. Our group played up to our extrovert label with gusto, drawing a café on a beach with a huge crowd of people laughing, dancing and talking. (I felt a bit guilty that the day before I'd be asked to discuss my perfect weekend with a colleague and I'd said playing board games quietly at home with my daughters. I was feeling more introverted at the start of the workshop surrounded by strangers so perhaps my 'natural' type was being suppressed?) In the next exercise I faced a crisis. The 'feelers' and 'thinkers' got together into separate groups, pretended to be on boats, and had to decide which three people to throw overboard into the jaws of sharks. The thinkers in one group developed criteria while the feelers in the other group tried to evade the choice as it was too painful. I did both. Apparently I needed to study the methodology a bit more to be clearer about whether I'm a thinker or feeler. To add to the confusion we were told that during stressful situations you revert to the opposite of your type. Just as oracles of divination can't fail – if that person turns out not to be a witch, then the oracle wasn't done properly – so too Myers Briggs can be invalidated. If you act out of 'type', then you are suffering stress or the effects of culture.
I conclude that Myers Briggs is perfectly rational within its own terms. However, just like identifying your neighbours as witches, I'm seriously uncomfortable with the terms. They entice people to create stereotypes and underplay both individuality and the importance of working out group dynamics. If figuring out good advocacy strategies, give me the discussion of power any day.

Freight shipping from Washington to Rhode Island is easier than ever with FreightCenter. Our simple quoting and booking process will enable you to get instant freight rates from all the top shipping companies and start booking your freight shipments in a few short minutes. FreightCenter makes it affordable to ship freight from Washington to Rhode Island by LTL, Truckload, Rail, or Intermodal with our guaranteed competitive freight rates.
Washington is located in the Pacific Northwest and borders both the Pacific Ocean and Canada. Much of the terrain consists of rugged mountain ranges. Agriculture is a major industry in the state, which also boasts an extremely busy international port. Heavy snows during the winter can close some mountain passes, making some roads difficult to travel during these months. An extended network of waterways allows for Washington freight to move by water when possible. Most rail lines also connect to the busy ports, allowing for Washington shipping rates to remain low and reasonable. LTL freight is usually affordable due to the volume of goods moving through the state.
Rhode Island is a very small state located on the northeastern Atlantic coast. The state has numerous ports and bays including the Port of Providence, one of the largest deep water seaports in the New England area. The state economy is based largely on manufactured goods, there is usually a steady stream of Rhode Island freight moving by truck. As a high-consumption state, outbound Rhode Island freight shipping rates are usually the least expensive. A high volume of goods moving through the state makes LTL shipping affordable. Although Rhode Island is the nation's smallest state, the proximity to larger and busier states means shipping prices are fairly low and normally stable.

Hello everyone!
So, yesterday began my whirlwind trip through the Northeast... It started with a trip to Laurence Harbor, NJ to visit my friend Lori who I had mentioned in an earlier post. She made me an awesome dinner (that was both healthy and delicious) and then we spent a good portion of the night just catching up.
This am, we went on a walk... I had asked that we incorporate some exercise into my visit (I know that I'm probably going to go astray multiple times this weekend so I figured that I better be good when I can). She lives near a state park and so we went their and hit their walking trails. We were having a fine walk when all of the sudden she "surprised" me with bench dips and lunges. And to think, I was worried about missing my workouts with Sean...
Then she reminded me, "You're on vacation, but not on vacation from your health". This resonated with me. I agree with this statement wholeheartedly. And while I fully intend to enjoy this crazy trip I have planned including cheating when it's worth it, I have no intention of blowing all of my efforts. I'm trying to learn the balance of maintaining my healthy habits while having fun and not stressing too much. But practicing this, just like me and the title of my blog, is a work in progress...
Have a wonderful Thursday night!

· The Pope once again calls to abolish the death penalty, to forgive debt in poor countries and to remove walls of indifference ·
Pope Francis called for "the active witness of non-violence" to work "as a 'weapon' to achieve peace" in his message to a conference organized by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace as well as by Pax Christi International on Monday afternoon, 11 April. The message was read aloud by Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson, President by the dicastery, at the opening session of the conference, which will conclude on 13 April. The following is the English text of the message.
Your Eminence,
I am delighted to convey my most cordial greetings to you and to all the participants in the Conference on Nonviolence and Just Peace: Contributing to the Catholic Understanding of and Commitment to Nonviolence, which will take place in Rome from the 11th to 13th of April 2016.
This encounter, jointly organized by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace and Pax Christi International, takes on a very special character and value during the Jubilee Year of Mercy. In effect, mercy is "a source of joy, serenity and peace", a peace which is essentially interior and flows from reconciliation with the Lord. Nevertheless, the participants' reflections must also take into account the current circumstances in the world at large and the historical moment in which the Conference is taking place, and of course these factors also heighten expectations for the Conference.
In order to seek solutions to the unique and terrible 'world war in instalments' which, directly or indirectly, a large part of humankind is presently undergoing, it helps us to think back in time. Let us rediscover the reasons that led the sons and daughters of a still largely Christian civilization in the last century to create the Pax Christi Movement and the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace. From their example we learn that to bring about true peace, it is necessary to bring people together concretely so as to reconcile peoples and groups with opposing ideological positions. It is also necessary to work together for what persons, families, peoples and nations feel is their right, namely, to participate on a social, political and economic level in the goods of the modern world. Further, the "unceasing effort on the part of that higher creative imagination which we call diplomacy" must be continuously nourished; and justice in a globalized world, which is "order in freedom and conscious duty", must constantly be promoted. In a word, humanity needs to refurbish all the best available tools to help the men and women of today to fulfil their aspirations for justice and peace.
Accordingly, your thoughts on revitalising the tools of non-violence, and of active non-violence in particular, will be a needed and positive contribution. This is what as participants in the Rome Conference you propose to do. In this message I would like to remind you of some further points which are especially of concern to me.
The basic premise is that the ultimate and most deeply worthy goal of human beings and of the human community is the abolition of war. In this vein, we recall that the only explicit condemnation issued by the Second Vatican Council was against war, although the Council recognized that, since war has not been eradicated from the human condition, "governments cannot be denied the right to legitimate defence once every means of peaceful settlement has been exhausted".
Another cornerstone is to recognize that "conflict cannot be ignored or concealed. It has to be faced". Of course, the purpose is not to remain trapped within a framework of conflict, thus losing our overall perspective and our sense of the profound unity of reality. Rather, we must accept and tackle conflict so as to resolve it and transform it into a link in that new process which "peacemakers" initiate.
As Christians, we also know that it is only by considering our peers as brothers and sisters that we will overcome wars and conflicts. The Church tirelessly repeats that this is true not merely at an individual level but also at the level of peoples and nations, for it truly regards the International Community as the "Family of Nations". That is why, in this year's Message for the World Day of Peace, I made an appeal to States' leaders to renew "their relations with other peoples and to enable their real participation and inclusion in the life of the international community, in order to ensure fraternity within the family of nations as well".
Furthermore, we know as Christians that, in order to make this happen, the greatest obstacle to be removed is the wall of indifference. Recent history justifies using the word 'wall' not in a figurative sense alone, for unhappily it is an all too tangible reality. This phenomenon of indifference touches not only our fellow human beings but also the natural environment, with often disastrous consequences in terms of security and social peace.
Nevertheless, we can succeed in overcoming indifference — but only if, in imitation of the Father, we are able to show mercy. Such mercy is so to speak 'political' because it is expressed in solidarity, which is the moral and social attitude that responds best to the awareness of the scourges of our time and of the inter-dependence of life at its different levels — the connections between an individual life, the family, and the local and global community.
In our complex and violent world, it is truly a formidable undertaking to work for peace by living the practice of non-violence! Equally daunting is the aim of achieving full disarmament "by reaching people's very souls", building bridges, fighting fear and pursuing open and sincere dialogue. The practice of dialogue is in fact difficult. We must be prepared for give and take. We must not assume that the others are wrong. Instead, accepting our differences and remaining true to our positions, we must seek the good of all; and, after having finally found agreement, we must firmly maintain it.
We can joyfully anticipate an abundance of cultural differences and varied life experiences among the participants in the Rome Conference, and these will only enhance the exchanges and contribute to the renewal of the active witness of non-violence as a "weapon" to achieve peace.
Finally, I would like to invite all those present to support two requests I addressed to governmental authorities in this Jubilee Year: to abolish the death penalty where it is still in force, and to consider the possibility of an amnesty; and to forgive or manage in a sustainable way the international debt of the poorer nations.
I warmly wish Your Eminence and all the participants fruitful and successful labours, and I extend to you all my Apostolic Blessing.

Grease is definitely the word around Pyrmont after everyone's favourite musical, GREASE, opened its season at Sydney's Lyric Theatre on October 13.
Featuring all the unforgettable songs from the hit movie including You're The One That I Want, Grease Is The Word, Summer Nights, Hopelessly Devoted To You, Sandy, Greased Lightnin' plus many more, this is a show the whole family will enjoy.
Get into the spirit of the fifties and go back to a simpler time when the girls in their bobby-sox and flared skirts and the guys with their leather jackets and greased hair ruled.
The cast is excellent with Rob Mills playing the lead role of Danny alongside Gretel Scarlett as Sandy singing all the famous songs we know and love. They are particularly eye catching when they channel John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John in the famous dance scene in their black outfits. Lucy Maunder is superb as bad girl Rizzo and Bert Newton brings all his charm to his role as veteran disc jockey Vince Fontaine
Todd McKenney, dressed in white, stole the show as Teen Angel, with his fantastic dancing and singing. Anthony Callea was also a treat in the role of Johnny Casino.
The students of Rydell High gave us a wonderful evening of singing and dancing and judging by the happy faces of the audience all humming and singing along as they left the theatre, everyone seemed to have enjoyed the show.

When you are following a Ketogenic Diet, you replace the need for carbs with fat and ketones. If you allow your body enough time to fully adapt to the diet, then you should not require carbohydrates.
Adding more carbohydrates to your workout will likely just kick you out of ketosis and prevent your body from fully utilizing fat and ketones for energy.
Even ultra marathon runners have found that they can compete just fine without carbohydrates; however, if you are not Keto-Adapted and you are completing a longer duration exercise session, you may require carbohydrates. Note that this strategy may make it harder for you to fully adapt to the diet though.

LeapFrog, ever one of the most innovative of today's tech-toy companies, announced today the release of a new, toddler-sized "book explorer." Following the success of the Tag Reading System, designed for children ages 4 to 8 years old, the new Tag Junior was created especially for children ages 2 to 4 years old.
Toddlers can use the character-based handheld device to interact with specially-printed board books. The toddler simply touches the base of the Tag Junior anywhere on the page, and can then hear each page read aloud, hear sound effects embedded in the pictures, and listen to music.
Like the Tag Reading System, Tag Junior "reads" with a small infrared camera that recognizes what's on each page, like letters, words, and symbols. Parents can download audio for each of the nine books in the Tag Junior library using the PC-and-Mac-compatible LeapFrog Connect Application. It's as easy as managing your MP3s or photo files. Although there are nine available books, the Tag Junior only holds five at a time.
The Tag Junior was made for those with smaller hands, making it easier for those who are just starting to read. The Tag Junior system comes with a LeapFrog-original book called "If I Were," which explores animal sounds. The eight other sturdy "board books" in the library, with characters your child knows and loves, like Curious George, Dora the Explorer, and Winnie the Pooh. Each different book focuses on a different preschool theme, such as sounds, colors, letters of the alphabet, numbers, and social play.
The Tag Junior will be available this summer at www.leapfrog.com, and at major retailers. It has an MSRP of $34.99, and each Tag Junior board book is $10.99.

DuBois, Pa. -- A solid defensive first half performance propelled Penn State Beaver to take down Penn State DuBois 77-55 on the road Tuesday night, securing the team's first PSUAC conference win of the season.
Junior guard John Foster (Austin/Del Valle) scored a game-high 22 points for Beaver. Freshman forward/center Jeremy Redwine (Merced) earned a double-double tonight with 20 points and 12 rebounds and freshman guard Keon Butler (Annapolis/Star Severn School) scored a season-high 17 points.
The game remained close for the first six minutes with both teams trading the lead back and forth and then tying at 10-10 at the 14:18 mark. Then, freshman guard Sonny Martinez (Austin) sunk a 3-pointer to initiate an 18-point run for Beaver with 6:33 to go in the first (28-10). Beaver's defense locked-in and held DuBois to only 12 points in the remaining minutes of the first half, with Butler also making 3-3 free throws and a late jumper in the last two minutes, which allowed Beaver to take a 15-point lead before halftime (40-25). Beaver shot 90.9 percent from the free-throw line, making 10-11 in the first.

A recent interview with Victoria Bergsman, former lead singer of Stockholms The Concretes and sole member of Taken By Trees, begins with the question of why she left the group. Among other things, Bergsman mentions that she started to lose belief in our ´democracy´ approach. I dont think you can create something really true in a big group. I think I create art better on my own, otherwise you must compromise all the time and that wont lead you anywhere.
Moderately successful, Bergsmans former group issued all three of their LPs stateside on Astralwerks and had their music featured in Target ads. By all available evidence, The Concretes are a band that woke up one day as a brand, and behaved accordingly. Thinking this way is easy and not totally accurate: far more likely their mild commercial success (i.e., no more day jobs) is of a piece with mild irrelevance.
Open Field sounds, naturally, very little like The Concretes do now, and not a little like The Concretes did on their earliest releases: the arrangements, melodies, and phrasing are simple, uptight, and very white. Bergsmans voice is the focal point on all tracks but the title track, and its ghostly, grainless tone makes up in sheer expanse what it lacks in texture or affect. Were Open Field the albums centerpiece, Taken By Trees could be mistaken for a band in the High Llamas mold: a chamber orchestra emerges from an interlocking strings-and-flute figure that calls to mind the seasonal interludes that break up the chapters of Breaking The Waves. Open Field is a cinematic take on John Martyn-esque English folk revival stuff, and what it first appears to be, a synthesis of the kind of orphaned content typified by album blogs dedicated to just that moment, reveals itself by the end of the song as a slight suggestion of a narrative thats never made explicit.
Taken as a whole, the album is far from curatorial or self-effacing. Most of its songs are built around guitar and voice but feature substantial arrangements, arrangements built from a coterie of instruments that range from marimba to strings and which are all but inaudible when listening to Open Field at the whisper volume it seems to demand. Bergsmans indie-pop craft is far from social. While the albums stark songs remain enjoyable throughout, she mistakes insularity for solitude. Of course, this problem is all but endemic to indie. Bergsmans treacly Northern stoicism falls somewhere between Camera Obscura's Tracyanne Campbell (whose Lost and Found is covered here) and El Perro Del Mar's Sarah Assbring; while she lacks the formers grandiose ambitions and the latters exoticized relationship to Spector-ized teen pop, Bergsmans attention to form is easily as fine-tuned. The notes that make up this album's abbreviated, Euclidean melodies are all but attack-less, floating and decaying like noise-absorbing embers. Theres a staged stillness that pervades songs like Too Young, a treehouse isolation that elevates a nostalgia untethered by experience. This is where Taken By Trees, as a project, diverges most from the artists mentioned above, and yet its the point at which this difference means the least.
While the albums arrangements are surprisingly rich, the songs themselves seem to become increasingly spare with each listen, as if spooling off a little more content with each successive listening. Although its unrealistic to say that this is an album without compromises, it seems to become less so with each listen. The irony here is that the albums basic conceit compromises it from the outset.

Jim Harbaugh on Michigan job: 'I didn't really weigh any other options'
Jim Harbaugh was tied to several coaching jobs after parting ways with the 49ers, but he says he "didn't really weigh any other options" before choosing to accept Michigan's offer.
"I have to do a good job, this is personal, it's more than personal," Harbaugh said on ESPN Chicago's Waddle and Silvy Show on Thursday, ahead of Big 10 Media Days. "I grew up there, went to school there in college and I'm back coaching."
"I can't screw it up. I have to do good," Harbaugh said. "That's the way we're approaching things and I'm proud to report that things are going well."
Harbaugh agreed to become the Michigan head coach in late December and takes over a team that finished last season with a 5-7 record.
Harbaugh grew up in Ann Arbor and played for the Wolverines from 1983 to 1986. He wrapped up his career as a Wolverine with a third place finish in Heisman Trophy voting and a school record 5,449 passing yards.
• Ohio State ranked No. 1 in preseason coaches poll
The Harbaugh family ties to the program run deeper, as Jim's father, Jack, served as an assistant coach for Michigan from 1973 to 1979.
This past offseason, Harbaugh was also considered a candidate for the Chicago Bears head coaching job. The Bears selected Harbaugh with the 26th pick in the first round of the 1987 NFL draft. He played six seasons for the Bears before also playing for the Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore Ravens, San Diego Chargers and Carolina Panthers.
