I am currently the Manager of Programs and Training at the Coro Center for Civic Leadership, Pittsburgh.
My PhD (Yale University, 2014) is in Political Science, with a focus on American Politics and a particular emphasis on public opinion and the media. I use survey experiments, along with media content, focus groups, and political theory, to illuminate how people make sense of the everyday messages they receive about government and politics. I was previously an assistant professor at Loyola University Maryland, where I taught a variety of courses including Public Opinion and American Democracy, Media and Politics, and Environmental Politics.
I am working on a book manuscript, Madison's ABCs: Why the Public Still Values Accomplishment, Bipartisanship, and Civility in Congress, which explores whether Madisonian ideals for deliberative and collaborative political decision-making have lost their appeal. We have a Congress that appears to be little more than an arena for partisan combat, where relentless opposition, political point-scoring, obstruction, and expressions of outrage are the norm. Similar trends can be seem among citizens: Americans express strong, negative feelings towards the opposite party, and uncivil outbursts by elected officials yield an outpouring of donations from their supporters. Yet in this book, I argue that the desire for a more Madisonian approach to politics remains alive and well in the American public, contrary to common portrayals of citizens as hopelessly polarized. I draw on survey data, original survey experiments, and a series of focus groups to shed light on when and why the public is willing to reward legislative accomplishment, bipartisan behavior, and civil debate in Congress. I show that citizens do value what I call "Madison's ABCs" (accomplishment, bipartisanship, and civility), although often not for the reasons that we might assume, and I use my results to shed light on what it will take to improve the public's confidence in Congress and depolarize political trust.
My broader research agenda focuses on how people make sense of the everyday messages they receive about government and elections. Through my work, I clarify how the public reacts to a variety of complex political stimuli, including news reports about debates in Congress, candidate messaging about qualifications for office, loaded political categories like "welfare" and "assistance to the poor," and even fictional portrayals of unjust totalitarian governments. I have published articles in Public Opinion Quarterly, The Journal of Politics, and Public Opinion Quarterly, and I have several working papers available as well.

TSA screeners accomplish between $24,000 for brand spanking new hires and $35,000 on the excessive end, notwithstanding some can acquire more as a result of seniority, additional time or level of administration responsibility, the associated columnist reported.
while there were requires TSA employees to bang, Esquivel talked about accomplishing so would be in opposition t the legislation as TSA agents are considered "essential" personnel and are appropriate to reveal up for assignment no matter if or not they're actuality paid.
With stories of TSA laborers increasingly calling in in poor health at airports throughout the nation, Esquivel stated callouts amongst McCarran agents have been inside "normal range."
Esquivel pointed out she's involved concerning the chance of motion actuality taken in opposition t people that omit work for a prolonged time, and she or he's announced to administration about it.
"We don't recognize what their economic cases or stress levels are, or how they contend with stress," she said. "So, my activity is in the event that they're now not coming in as a result of they're over stressed or they're now not concentrated as a result of here is authoritative them sick, I don't desire them at assignment.
"We're answerable for a whole lot of heaps of lives. We can't have a airplane go down as a result of someone is not healthy for responsibility."
Airport officials acclaimed TSA personnel for holding issues running smoothly, especially right through the frenzy of cartage brought on through CES remaining anniversary, the largest alternate reveal by way of cost captivated yearly in Las Vegas.
"That is simply a testament to the persona and dedication of our TSA companions," referred to Christine Crews, McCarran spokesperson.
worker's turn to other jobs
afflicted employees are turning to half-time jobs to are trying to offset any fiscal inconvenience they've encountered right through the shutdown, Esquivel talked about. Some are alike trying to go away the activity all collectively.
"I actually have a feeling that some americans are just going to quit," she mentioned. "I do be aware of that people are searching for different jobs."
The abeyance has introduced an outpouring of generosity to TSA brokers who're alive with out pay.
economic institutions are providing no-hobby loans in 30-day increments, food banks are providing suggestions, carriers at McCarran are offering impacted worker's particular food offers, eating places and grocery stores outdoor the airport and even former personnel are endlessly through to drop off pizzas, present cards and different gadgets, Esquivel pointed out.

The Nature of Market Volatility
Risk comes in many forms and, as a result, your definition of risk tolerance has to take the different forms of risk into account. A study of price volatility is a good place to start. Volatility can and should be applied to individual issues. This does not mean that overall volatility trends should be ignored; however, because listed options are specific to a single stock, the study of volatility can be used to measure risk, to identify market conditions, and to find option opportunities.
Market volatility follows cyclical patterns just as prices do.
Being aware of the patterns and tendencies of market volatility does not necessarily provide you with a key to the timing of option decisions. In fact, in the most volatile of markets, it is the uncertainty of the timing of events that makes the market the most interesting, and the most dangerous.
Volatility is an expression of conflicting investor interests converging at the same moment. A high demand or a high supply resulting from greater-than-usual volume has an immediate effect on stock share prices and on option premium levels. When time value is distorted during high volume periods, it creates a momentary advantage for options traders. Distortions occur most often during highly volatile periods for a specific stock, but the offsetting market reaction tends to correct the condition within the same trading day. So to take advantage of time value price distortions, you will need to track the market throughout the day.
Smart Investor TipVolatility introduces both risk and opportunity. The very uncertainty associated with big price swings provides options traders with the best environment for profitsâif properly understood.
Smart Investor TipOptions traders who plan to take advantage of short-term price aberrations have to be prepared to track prices closely, and to act quickly.

By God's Clock— Not Mine by Anne Mateer
6 comments:
Anne, Thanks for sharing your journey, complete with the emotions you felt along the way. I, too, have experienced this, only to find that my timing wasn't God's. So happy to see you as a published author now. As I've told you before, I knew it the first time I read your work in that group at Mount Hermon.ReplyDelete
Merry Christmas.
I love your constant encouragement, Richard! So excited to see us both in print--both in God's timing! :)ReplyDelete
Anne... having traveled a very similar road, I look back now and realize I had much more to learn than writing in order to weather this industry the way the Lord wanted me to. Not that He said, "No." It's just that it took me many long years to come to terms with His way of doing things. Sort of like a parent that says, "When you can behave yourself, you may come out of your room."ReplyDelete
Which was mercy, really, or I would have run off and self-destructed in such a beguiling world. So, the tables turned as I saw it was God who was having endless patience with me, and not the other way around. Sometimes, I still struggle with those things. But I never run off, anymore. Heavens, the very thought is abhorrent to me, now. I suppose only He knew I would eventually come to this place. And I am so grateful He waited for me.
Thank you for sharing your story, and making me feel not so alone!
"Which was mercy, really." So true, Lilly. It sometimes feels like God isn't listening or isn't moving or has abandoned us altogether when really He is so patient with us as we fight His shaping and molding of us for His perfect use. Glad my story made you feel less alone! Your comment makes me feel that way, too. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Amen to God's timing, Anne! My story is much the same. The Lord knew I wasn't ready so I just kept writing for 40 years:) So thankful it happened on His clock instead of mine. Thanks for a great post!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Laura! It's still so good to hear other people's similar stories. Especially from an author like you that writes such amazing stories! :)ReplyDelete

This was several years ago during a visit to a small beach in South Carolina.
My daughter was tired of walking so I picked her up and put her on my shoulder.
We watched as a tug boat pulled out of the nearby harbor.
You can't see them in this picture, but there are often dolphin swimming along this channel.
Thanks Clay for sharing your memory with us all.
I love your daughter's arm rest!
It's pictures like this that capture the secret and intimate story that lies hidden within.
A story that only you and perhaps a select few may totally understand.
I bet when you look at it you can hear all the noises again, smell all the smells and enjoy the moment once more.
The thought that fascinates me is from there where does the mind wander off to?
Good luck in the contest.

This recipe combines my two favorite sweet treats - Reese's peanut butter cups and brownies. Chicken Legs always gives me Reese's for Valentine's Day because he knows they are my favorite. He is such a good guy.
These little Reese's Brownie Bites couldn't be any easier. It is just brownies baked in a mini muffin pan and then a Reese's miniature pushed down in the center. I used Ghiradelli Double Chocolate brownie mix. You can use any brownie mix you like - make "fudge-like" brownies. It is amazing that something so simple can taste so delicious! These would make great gifts for neighbors, co-workers, teachers and classmates.

36 Reese's miniature peanut butter cups, unwrapped
Preheat oven to 325.
Combine brownie mix, egg, oil and water. Stir until combined. Drop rounded Tablespoons into mini muffin pan. Bake 15-18 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately press a Reese's peanut butter cup in the center of the brownie. Top with sprinkles if desired. Allow to cool and remove from pan.

In fact, although hard-clad silica fiber is OFS' proprietary design patented and manufactured since 1979, in the past year many other manufacturers have started churning out silica clad in hard plastic to meet the growing needs.Figure 1. A cross section of hard-clad silica fiber shows the glass core, the fiber cladding and a protective buffer layer of ETFE.In hard-clad silica fiber, the polymer that surrounds the core acts not only to guide light, but also to enhance the strength of the fiber. The polymeric material forms "bridge bonds" that heal small flaws on the surface of the silica.The cladding also significantly retards static fatigue and makes possible tighter bend radii. Hard-clad silica fiber can withstand a bend of less than an inch for 20 years.The combination of flexibility and ruggedness has led to the use of these fibers in the medical, industrial, environmental and commercial fields, including such unusual and diverse applications as wind turbines and casinos. Most intriguingly, they are being adopted into use in novel automotive applications that adhere to the Media Oriented System Transport (MOST) protocol, which uses both hardware and software to enable the transmission of a variety of data from diverse vehicle systems.Founded in 1998, the MOST Cooperation is a partnership of about 20 automakers and 60 component suppliers who together seek to define and adopt a common multimedia network protocol. The organization uses its set of standards to encompass new classes of multimedia applications in automobiles, such as advanced sensors, global positioning system navigation with intelligent route finding, integrated mobile communications and multimedia entertainment. These systems, now seen primarily in higher-end vehicles, are expected to become standard across many lines in just a few years. The result will be an exponential increase in the demand for cost-effective, high-performance data transfer that exceeds the capacity of conventional automotive wiring systems. Instead, these applications will be made possible by using optical fibers that transmit signals at a rate of 25 Mb/s.Figure 2. Hard-clad silica fibers manufactured in a low-bioburden room under sterile conditions are used in the human body for a variety of medical procedures — for example, to deliver light and laser power, and to cut, coagulate or vaporize tissue.Step-index hard-clad silica fibers, which exhibit overall data-transmission performance that falls between that of plastic optical fiber and that of graded-index fibers, are well suited for applications supported by MOST. As with all optical fibers, they are unaffected by the presence of electromagnetic and radio-frequency disturbances; however, it is the harsh automotive environment — with its extremes of temperature and vibration — that demonstrate their advantages over plastic optical fibers.The mechanical durability of hard-clad silica fibers, including bend radius, tensile strength, crush strength and cyclic flex, are superior to those of plastic fibers, but it is the temperature performance that marks the most important difference between the two fiber types. Plastic fibers used for data links are formulated from polymethyl methacrylate, which keeps the upper limit of the fiber's operating temperature to 85 °C, essentially confining its use to applications within the passenger area of the automobile. Plastic fiber also has a high attenuation level (~150 dB/km) that restricts the fiber's length and its minimum bending radius (typically >25 mm).Hard-clad silica fibers also have excellent resistance to heat, moisture and fatigue, which means that they help provide the durability and long-term reliability essential for automakers seeking to control warranty-related costs.As a class of optical fiber available from several manufacturers, hard-clad silica continues to provide the necessary bandwidth and physical properties for many applications. The MOST protocol is just the latest example of how this type of fiber continues to be the choice for applications that require a balance of performance characteristics and the use of low-cost connectors and optical transceivers.Meet the authorRobert Dauphinais is market manager for industrial products for OFS Specialty Photonics Div. in Avon, Conn.; e-mail: email@example.com.

Picture this: me at the checkout getting craft supplies for a Girl Scout meeting
Older cashier who always remembers me: Baby? (Pointing army belly)
Me: no
cashier: oh, I thought I saw a….(uncomfortable silence)
Me: grabs purchases and leaves store, leaving behind some of my pride.
But alas, that nice Cashier's hadn't fully deceived him. He had seen a baby. A food baby.
Yes I've been in denial that the black leggings and leggings were simply a fashion choice, nothing more. It's not that my jeans were getting a little tight (I'm still blaming the Spanish dryer for that) or I just enjoy a baggy sweater now and then. Nope, I'm carrying a serious food baby. A food baby that will need to be birthed. After the holidays. After I've eaten Mac and cheese for three straight meals in three varieties. After.
So until then you can find me eating Mac and cheese for breakfast, wearing boots, black leggings, leg Warner's and that cozy and forgiving sweater because after all the best fashions are both stylish and functional. And leave room for food babies.
I owe my marriage to the UFC. Yes, you read that right. My husband and I met one night after I was getting off of work and decided to join some of my co-workers for drinks at a small bar around the corner. My husband was already seated at the bar, which was the only one in the area showing the fight that night. I sat down next to him, we started chatting and now, five years later here we are.
The fights come on at 4am here because of the time difference, and at 4:01 I can find him, sitting on the couch with coffee
screaming quietly talking to the TV. After the last fight I got to thinking that it might be nice for him to have something to snack on while he watched. However, I know I'm not a morning person so getting out of bed at 3:30 in the morning to make him a "fight morning" snack just wasn't going to happen.
I spent a few weeks mulling over what kind of snack I could make that would be reminiscent of game day food, but breakfasty* since he would be enjoying it with coffee; that could also be a "make ahead." These breakfast taquitos are what I came up with. I'm pretty sure some fast food place or convenience store back in the States does something like this, but I'm not sure which ones. Either way, they were good when I baked them right after assembling them and they were equally good straight from the freezer into the oven on "fight morning."
Breakfast Taquitos
1 potato, diced
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 can green chili's, drained
2 tablespoons cumin
1 teaspoon chipotle hot sauce
2 tablespoons butter, divided
4 rashers turkey bacon
4 eggs
2 cups cheese (you can do more or less, but we like a lot of cheese)
12 small flour tortillas
Salt/pepper to taste
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place turkey bacon on a tin foil lined baking sheet and bake until crispy, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and drain on paper towels. Chop into small pieces and set aside.
While the bacon cooks, make the potato hash. Melt butter in a large sauce pan over medium high heat. Toss in potatoes, onion and chilis. Season with cumin and hot sauce. Brown the potatoes and onions and then toss in garlic. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until the potatoes are just fork tender, about 5 minutes. When the hash is done, remove from the pan and set aside.
Whisk the eggs (add a bit of water or milk, depending on how you like your scrambled eggs.) Melt the rest of the butter in the sauce pan over medium heat. Pour in eggs and scramble. Remove from heat when they reach your preferred doneness keeping in mind that the eggs will continue to cook when the taquitos bake (we prefer our eggs scrambled hard, aswith the local eggs, anything less makes us sick.)
To assemble the taquitos: Line a baking tray with foil and spray with cooking spray. Warm the tortillas in a microwave for 10 seconds to soften them. Keep a moist towel over them while you work. Place cheese, then hash, bacon and eggs along the center of the tortilla. Roll tortilla up and place seam side down on the baking sheet. Continue with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
At this point, the taquitos can be baked or frozen*. If you are baking them, spray the tops with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt. Bake in a 400 degree oven until they are browned and crispy and the filling is warm, about 10 minutes. Serve with salsa
*If you are freezing them, cover the baking sheet and place into the freezer for 30 minutes or until the taquitos are firm. Then they can be placed in a storage bag or container. To bake, place them on a baking sheet, spray with cooking spray and salt the tops. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes.
*The first batch I baked right after assembling and didn't use cooking spray or salt the tops and they didn't brown as nicely. Then over the weekend I came across this on pintrest and saw that they used cooking spray and salt on top, so I tried it on game day and that was definitely better.
*Yes, breakfasty is a word….look it up 🙂 :

When I made my blackening spice blend I had this salad in mind. I wanted to make a light and healthy salad for dinner that was still tasty and satisfying. While one might think that I was doing this because it's just after the New Year when everyone has a diet resolution, but that's not the case. I don't do resolutions, remember?
I wanted a light salad for dinner because my husband and I had plans to go to Friday brunch (without the kids.) While brunch may seem like no big deal, it is a big to-do here. There is a list of things you must see or do while in Bahrain: Visit the Tree of Life (we've tried four times but have yet to find it,) go to the souq, see the historical forts, and do brunch.
All of the hotels and many restaurants host a Friday brunch, but it isn't what I would really consider brunch to be. Every brunch here starts after 12:30, there are no breakfast foods and it's an all-you-can-eat-and-drink smorgasbord. My husband and I ended up deciding on Muju for their jazz brunch. And although there were no eggs or pancakes to be found, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The drinks were flowing and the desserts were amazing. To be honest, their food wasn't the best, but it did have a phenomenal view to make up for it.
With hindsight being 20/20, I can definitely say that this salad was the perfect light week night meal before a weekend of indulgence 🙂
Blackened Chicken Caesar Salad
*dressing adapted from Caesar Salad with Sourdough Croutons on epicurious.com
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ cup blackening seasoning
1 loaf of French bread (stale bread is best)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon salt
½ tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoonDijonmustard
11/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 head of iceberg lettuce, chopped
Parmesan cheese for serving
Divide the seasoning among the chicken breasts and rub in. Set aside.
To make the croutons: cut the French bread into cubes. Toss with olive oil, salt and garlic powder and toast in a 400 degree oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Croutons can be made one day a head of time and stored in an airtight container.
Heat a vegetable oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook the chicken breasts 5 minutes per side or until the outside is browned and it is cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, combine the anchovy paste, garlic cloves, lemon juice,Dijon, and Worchershire sauce in a bowl. Slowly whisk in the EVOO.
To assemble the salad, toss dressing with the lettuce top with croutons and parmesan cheese. Serve the warm chicken on the side.

After I made pasta last week, I've been thinking about trying to make more of our food completely from scratch. My husband and I don't really believe in New Years resolutions. If we want to change something, we think we just do it.
So in the spirit of a non-resolution, I've resolved to make more things from scratch 🙂
After all, homemade is usually healthier and tastes better. I think that is true with my blackening spice blend. I used lemon salt to cut down on the amount of sodium that is typical in store bought spice mixtures and then I could control the amount of each spice so that the blend was to our liking.
I just went into the pantry and grabbed all the spices I thought ought to be in a blackening blend and started playing with proportions of each until it was just the right amount of salt, flavor and heat.
Of course, this was just the blend that I thought would suit our tastes best, but feel free to add/subtract/change any of the spices 🙂
Blackening Spice Blend
½ tablespoon sea salt
1 tablespoon lemon salt*
3 tablespoons black pepper
3 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons cayenne
1 ½ tablespoon thyme
3 tablespoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons onion powder
Blend all of the ingredients and adjust for taste. Store in an airtight container.
*lemon salt is pretty easy to find here and usually sold by the kilo, but I had never seen it before coming toBahrain. I'm sure it could be found at a specialty store like whole foods or maybe an ethnic market.

My husband and I are old fuddy duddies. We prefer to stay in on New Years Eve, put the kids to bed, make a nice meal and try desperately to stay up until midnight. This year, we decided to have another cook-off to bring in the New Year and the challenge was pasta. My husband thinks he makes the best spaghetti around, and I will admit it is good, but he cheats. He uses premade meatballs, jarred pasta sauce and dried noodles (sorry to give away your secrets honey, but it's true.) I thought I wanted to do ravioli and since he says he hates ravioli (not true) I knew the only way to get him to admit that my pasta was better was to make everything from scratch.
As always, his dish did turn out pretty good (see honey, I can give credit where credit is due) but mine was better. I mean, I did make everything from scratch. But I realized the recipe for the dough made a lot of raviolis and I knew I wasn't going to eat them all that night-after all I had no chance to stay up to midnight if I was totally stuffed. So I froze half of the batch just to see if it was any good.
Well it worked. A few nights later I wanted something quick to make, filled with carbs and loaded with cheese and this hit the spot. Fresh pasta only takes a few minutes to cook, and even freezing the fresh stuff only added about another 30 seconds to the cooking time. I actually really loved this, because after all the prep work was done, fresh pasta on the table in less than 15 minutes is a winner in my book-plus it just looked so pretty!
Spinach Ravioli Stuffed with Four Cheeses
Adapted from Pasta Dough on Epiciurious.com
1 bunch of fresh spinach, finely chopped (in the end, I probably had about 2 tablespoons after I chopped it all down)
1 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large egg yolks
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup water
½ cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup shredded Italian cheese blend (I used parmesan, Asiago, Romano)
1 egg
2-3 basil leaves, finely chopped
Tomato sauce for serving (I added some ground beef because I knew my husband wouldn't "like" it without meat)
Combine the first seven ingredients in a food processor. Process until dough just forms into a ball.
Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes, adding more flour if needed to keep it from sticking. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
While the dough is resting, combine the cheeses, egg, basil, salt and pepper in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
Follow directions on your pasta roller to roll out sheets of dough for ravioli. I used my Kitchen Aid pasta roller attachment and found that the fourth setting was the perfect thickness for the ravioli.
With your sheet of pasta dough laid out on a floured surface, place a teaspoon of filling across the dough, a few inches apart. Use a pastry brush to brush the other half of the dough with water and fold over the filling. Press around the filling to seal the edges. Using a ravioli cutter cut out the ravioli and place on a lined baking sheet.
At this point, you can freeze the ravioli for 30 minutes on the baking sheet or until it's set, then place them in an airtight container in the freezer. I froze mine for a week and they tasted fresh, but I think they may keep for up to a month.
Alternately, if you are cooking the pasta right away, place individual ravioli into a pot of salted, boiling water, and being careful not to over crowd the pot. When the ravioli float to the surface, remove with a slotted spoon.
Serve with tomato sauce and extra cheese.

I actually made this curried fish a while ago, but I'm just now getting around to posting it, because I was thinking I may make it again tonight for dinner. When Lulu's Hypermarket first opened almost two months ago, I was immediately enamored with their produce section. There is so much exotic produce, sometimes I just walk around in circles trying to decide what I would like to try next. One of my first "exotic" purchases was these banana leaves.
I thought they were a great and healthy way to steam fish. Their flavor is subtle, and to be honest, the curry covered most of it, but it kept the hamour moist and tender.
Curried Hamour in Banana Leaves
1 kg Fresh firm white fish, such as hamour (that's about 2lbs)
1 banana leaf for each piece of fish
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoons lemongrass, chopped
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoons red curry paste*
1 cups unsweetened coconut milk
2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoons fish sauce
1/2 teaspoons sugar
Cilantro for garnish
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Sautee garlic, lemon grass and ginger in a pot. Add curry paste and sauté one more minute. Whisk in coconut milk, chicken stock and fish sauce. Add sugar and cook 5 minutes. Divide the sauce.
Place a piece of fish on each banana leaf; pour half of the sauce over the filets. Wrap up the banana leaf around the fish and place in a baking dish, seam side down.
Bake 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Serve the fish with the remaining sauce, sprinkle with cilantro and white rice.

Spring Fishing in Fort LauderdalePosted on: April 11, 2012
April 6, 2012
The spring fishing season has started to heat up, and our anchor snapper trips on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights are becoming popular. These trips run from 7pm-11pm, and with daylight savings time we are catching both the dusk bite and the nighttime bite.
Last night, Adam and Joe had 10 people on our snapper trip, and they caught 40 assorted snapper, including yellowtails, vermillions, grays, and a couple of muttons.
April 7, 2012
Today the Lady Pamela IV and the Lady Pamela I each had two half day charters, and both crews were kept busy. Our anglers on both boats caught a few mahi-mahi and some kingfish in the morning trip. On the afternoon trip the Lady Pamela IV caught a few kingfish and a huge hammerhead shark out in 350 feet of water. There is nothing like the sound of line singing off of a 130 lb reel, with the rod bent nearly double to get our angler's adrenaline going!
The next few months offer prime opportunities for shark fishing, particularly for hammerheads. We see plenty of the bigger hammerheads migrating through south Florida during April, May and June. These monsters cannot resist big kingfish or bonito strips fished on the bottom. Fort Lauderdale is the place to be if you every want to do battle with one of these titans. Come on down and give us a call.

Meagan Burks, one of our amazing designers, is faced with design challenges on a regular basis (as most designers are!) Where does she turn when she needs inspiration? Meagan has several designers, including Kelly Wearstler, Suzanne Kasler and Bobby McAlpine, whose styles really inspire her. All of them have books that help refresh Meagan's sometimes depleated creativity.
"First and foremost, Bobby McAlpine is an architect; and his new book, "The Home Within Us" is my favorite new architectural design book. I have been an admirer of his architecture and interiors long before I knew he designed furniture. The upholstery collection he designed for Lee Industries, one of our manufacturers, perfectly showcases his use of gracefully sculptural lines that are as timeless as they are unique."
In contrast to Bobby McAlpine, Meagan also finds inspiration from Kelly Wearstler. Kelly Wearstler's HUE is a reminder of how to properly incorporate daring color into interior design. As The New Yorker so eloquently put it, Kelly is "the presiding grande dame of West Coast interior design."
"You can always tell it's a Kelly Wearstler room. Her mix of pattern, color, and texture is so bold, but it always works. What shows through in her interiors shows through in her textile designs."
Somewhere between the earthy, natural Bobby McAlpine and the bright, bold Kelly Wearstler falls Suzanne Kasler. Her versatility is endless.
"Suzanne Kasler is known for her classically inspired rooms, soothing palettes, and casual elegance. Her lighting fixtures bring Southern charm, European sensibility, and a respect for architectural details to her interiors. Her work is polished and refined, yet casual, relaxed and effortless"
Suzanne describes her own style as "a fresh mix of continental flavor and classic style, emphasizing light, scale, and architectural elements of space, creating collected interiors." Her book, Inspired Interiors, beautifully showcases the mix that Suzanne is known for.

Saint Paul's
What makes Saint Paul's Rad
The original church on the site dates back to 604 AD. It was the tallest building in London until 1962, and survived multiple bombs during World War II. More recently, it was the site of the Occupy London campaign. It has the second highest church spire in all of the UK. Oh, you mean the spot? Well, it's a ledge off stairs. Pretty cool.

The Satellite Innovation Symposium has now completed its speaking lineup of innovators from all facets of the Satellite Communications Industry. The sessions are deliberately peppered with Silicon Valley Innovators leveraging today's latest technology into the SatCom markets. In discussions involving successful seasoned veterans and entering mavericks, the ultimate goal is to find what technologies you need to pay attention to, and how they will affect your revenue in this rapidly evolving market.
The show is shaping up to be the most significant satellite show the west coast has ever seen. With jam-packed sessions full of significant content, a sold-out exhibition floor with 40 leading organizations showcased, and ample networking events to fulfill your networking goals, the event is filling a gaping hole in industry events, focusing on the technologies that will have the largest impact on the Satellite Industry.
Two of the world's leading satellite internet pioneers will be providing individual keynote presentations. While Greg Wyler's OneWeb is certainly a maverick in SmallSat Internet Connectivity, Mark Dankberg's ViaSat Inc. has built large communications satellites with capabilities unforeseen in worldwide SatCom technologies. They are both intimately connected to the region because of course, six of the world's seven most popular websites are headquartered within a few miles of the Computer History museum, where the event is hosted.
The 2017 Satellite Innovation Symposium will be held Oct. 2-3, at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. Join the hundreds of organizations and leaders in what could be the most productive two days of your year. Network with visionaries that are shaping the Satellite Communications market of tomorrow. Register today, as space is limited: SatelliteInnovation.com

NEW DELHI -- Congress Party-vice president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said that farmers he met on the first day of his padyatra in Maharashtra felt abandoned by the Narendra Modi-government in the face of severe losses to their crops because of unseasonal rains and hailstorms.
More than 600 farmers have killed themselves in Maharashtra in the past three months.
"The farmers and labourers feel that they have been abandoned," Gandhi told the media in the Amravati district. "This is not a government for farmers, labourers, poor or small businessmen."
Gandhi is traveling around 175 kilometres by foot to those villages where farmers have committed suicide in recent months. Mounting debts, Gandhi said, were behind most of these deaths.
But the Congress leader stopped short of making any concrete promises to the alleviate the plight of the farmers. "How can I give assurance? We don't have the capacity to help them so much," he said, slamming the central government for "ignoring the farmers."
Farmers, he said, wanted "karz maafi" (debts to be canceled).

Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party hit back at Gandhi for his attack on the Modi government. BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra told ANI that Gandhi should take a 'pashchataap yatra' (repentance march).
"Today when Rahul Gandhi is trying to get a political posturing out of his yatras, the serious suggestion would be that Mr. Rahul Gandhi and Congress should be in a repentance mode," he said.
Read: Arun Jaitley Says Modi Government Is 'Sooj Bhooj' Ki Sarkar
Addressing the Lok Sabha, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley mocked Gandhi's jibe that the prime minister spent more time on foreign trips than inside the country.
"India is now being considered a global leader and that is no mean achievement. It was unheard of, that when a prime minister travels abroad, the entire diaspora is rejuvenated. Prime Minister Modi may travel abroad, but at least we know where he is," Jaitley said, referring to Gandhi's 56-day sabbatical.
Dismissing Gandhi's "suit-boot ki sarkar" remark, Jaitley described the Modi government as one of "sooj-bhooj" (reason and common sense).

There are two ways to earn a one-time race spot; you can either win one of the Alaska Mountain Runners grand prix races or finish in the top-ten of the previous year's Mount Marathon Race. Racers who earn a race spot still pay the full race entry fee.
Alaska Mountain Runners Grand Prix Race Winners
The Mount Marathon Race® is part of the Alaska Mountain Runners Grand Prix Race Series. Adult winners of select Grand Prix races may request a one-time invitation to the Mount Marathon Race®.
This year's adult male and female winners of Crazy Lazy, Government Peak, Kal's Knoya Ridge Run (the longest course run), and Bird Ridge may request an invitation for either the current year or next year. Winners of Matanuska Peak Challenge and Alyeska Mountain Run (Pro Division) can request an invitation for next year. Winners of races that occur outside the registration period should email firstname.lastname@example.com for registration instructions.
Top-Ten Finishers
If a petitioner places in the top-ten of the race, they earn another one-year invite to the next Mount Marathon Race®.
During the race registration period, a Grand Prix race winner or a Top-Ten finisher must:
- Apply as a lottery applicant for the Mount Marathon Race®
- Use the online Earned Race Spot Form (available only during the registration period).
- Select a volunteer opportunity. If you do not meet your volunteer commitment, you may be disqualified from future request.
- If an applicant does not receive notice of receipt for their online form, the applicant's should promptly follow up.
Those who request an earned-race-spot will first be considered as a lottery applicant. If the applicant is not selected through the lottery process, the applicant will be entered as an earned-race-spot runner.
Unless an earn-race-spot runner wins the Mount Marathon Race,® the runner will not gain priority status through this process and must return to the lottery pool for future Mount Marathon Races.®

One very unhappy alum here, and I think after playing mens volleyball at a pretty high level i have a decent idea what I'm talking about. salpointe got rid of one of the very few H.S. volleyball coaches that actually has a clue. I will always love salpointe but this just isn't right. Love you Coach :)

Written by Mathew Naismith
I think it's to do with balancing, the balancing out between our minds and our hearts. I wrote the following on a Google community recently in relation to this important balance between our heart and our head.
The heart allows us to focus on the collective where's the head allows us to focus on ourselves, both are important.
The heart allows us to love where the head allows us to think, balance is certainly the key.
When the head is in control, love is left out in the cold, all hell breaks loose. When the heart controls the head, we loose growth through awareness and stagnate.
Love is on the cards for a very good reason, it will give us back our balance.

When the head is in control, love is left out in the cold, all hell breaks loose. When the heart controls the head, we loose growth through awareness and stagnate.
Love is on the cards for a very good reason, it will give us back our balance.
I think it's important not to get love confused with lust because lust is of the head, not the heart, for example, when a women or child is raped, this is lust, this is wholly driven by the mind not the heart. No one who truly loves could even think of raping what they lust after, this is due to lustful thoughts being balanced out by love.
Heart = love + collective + expressive of love + feelings + impulse + ego
Head/mind = lust + individual + expressive of thought +awareness + logics + egotism
The collective/individual: Now it's interesting to see the difference between the head and the heart in relation to the collective and the individual, the heart is of the collective and the head is of the individual. If you have noticed, people who are truly expressive of love, express this to the collective, not themselves, however, when a person is mainly expressive of love of themselves, this is the head not the heart. In this case it's more about lust, for example, "People just can't help lusting after me because I'm so beautiful and/or powerful".
Now the head is of individualism, the reason for this lies in the way the ego is used by the mind. The mind, without the balance of the heart, becomes egotistical because the mind is about the individual, not the collective. When we become knowledgeable and aware, it's about the individual mind becoming knowledgeable and aware, it's not about the collective mind. This is even the case when the mind shares such knowing, it's, "Look at what I know". However, when we balance out this knowing with love, we then start to share this knowing in a different way, it's then expressed as, "Look at what I'm sharing with you". With the heart balancing out the head, the expressions of the mind becomes about the collective instead of the individual, actually, there are people out there who become aware just to serve the collective mind.
Expressions of love and thought: The expression of love has everything to do with feelings as expressions of thought is to do with awareness. Yes, feelings can bring on awareness but feelings are more about impulses rather than a thought, this is why at times we will become aware of something out of the blue for no reason. This is why impulses are all to do with the heart and logics has everything to do with the head/mind.
If we were to primarily use the heart over and above the mind, our awareness would stagnate, it wouldn't progress or evolve, this is because the only things we would want to become aware of, would be love orientated, everything else not of love, would be ignored.
If we were to primarily use the head over and above the heart, our awareness would evolve but our wisdom in knowing how to use this knowledge would founder (collapse) in on itself, basically destroy itself if not balanced out with the heart. This sounds like a reality I know of........!!!!!
If you noticed I didn't primarily relate wisdom to the heart nor the head, this is because it's of neither but both when the heart and head are used in balance with each other. In today's society, this makes true wisdom scarce therefore very valuable to the collective, this is due to most people being either of the head or the heart.
Balance: This reality is primarily influenced by the head, it's too easy to counteract this by using the heart, the consensus is, the more heart, the better but it's not. By primarily counteracting the head with the heart, we are still lacking wisdom, wisdom can only be gained through balance, a good example of this was Confucius.
The middle Confucius quote above I feel relates to evolving, to do this successfully however takes balance between the heart and the head as the last quote above denotes. This came from a man who used his mind but used his mind in balance with his heart it would seem, we can certainly all do this.
