War without Mercy
From The Mason Historiographiki
John W. Dower. War without Mercy: Race and Power in the Pacific War. New York: Pantheon, 1986. pp. 399 pp. Cloth: ISBN 039450030X. Paper: ISBN 0394751728
In the struggle that has come down to us as the Second World War, the role of race played a very significant role as a potent motivator and justifier of any number of ghastly deeds. While the Nazi ideal of Aryan supremacy is one of the more well-known examples in Europe, the role and degree that race played in the Far Eastern war was just as destructive. In his book War without Mercy: Race and Power in the Pacific War, John W. Dower argues that the "race card" was held and played by Americans and Japanese in a brand of violence that was almost primitive in its ferocity and that the seeds of this racial conflict lay in the racial stereotypes and the views of manifest destiny held by the respective parties.
For the Japanese, the concept of purity was an essential cultural icon: purity of mind, motive, and action. One of the most enduring ways to express purity was through sacrifice. While all races were capable of purity and sacrifice, the Japanese saw themselves as endowed with particular gifts in this regard that placed them above all other peoples. When Japan was opened to the West after 1853, this relationship between purity and sacrifice--as well as the preeminence of Japan--took on a much greater weight as Japanese leaders used this traditional value system to enjoin the masses to embrace sacrifice for the advancement of Japan, since this was their ultimate destiny. While common Japanese folk were not unresponsive to this co-opting of a traditional value system, their élan rarely matched the intensity of their leaders' exhortations to embrace a strict regime of behavior that rejected individualism and endorsed communal benefit.
Whether the source of the Japanese militarism was (a) the self-serving dogma taking root among the general population, (b) domestic economic/population pressure that grew too great, or (c) a series of Western slights that were grossly incompatible with Japanese cultural ideals, the answer is beyond the scope of Dower's narrative. However, at some point, the Japanese began to look beyond their shores for an imperial future.
The Japanese Empire--called the Co-prosperity Sphere--was a peculiar blend of mercantilism and anti-Western imperialism. Invoking the spirit of Pan Asianism, the Japanese called on the yellow and brown races to throw off the shackles of the Western imperial powers and join them in forming a purely Asian association. Within this bloc, subject peoples and nations would labor in tasks suitable to their eugenic aptitudes. Japan--via direct imperial authority and expatriated Japanese--would hold the preeminent position by virtue of their gift for purity, sacrifice, and destiny.
The practical effect of the Japanese focus on Pan Asianism was the projection of Japanese dominance. Japanese authority was autocratically applied in every nation under Japanese authority. This authority unflinchingly slaughtered legions of subject peoples, secure in the justification that since only the Japanese could embrace purity, these subject races were less than pure; this condition made these subject people less-than-human obstacles to the vital new world order the Japanese were striving to create. The urgency of this crusade and the relation of sacrifice to purity would engender the suicidal fighting habits of the Japanese military, particularly in the later stages of the war.
But to adherents of the Japanese manifest destiny, the greatest obstacle of all was the Western axes of Great Britain and the United States. Both nations were seen as ponderous relics of a passing age, whose addiction to capitalism and individualism--as well as their tradition of imperialism--made them appear morally corrupt, even as the Japanese admired their industrial might. Thus, Westerners on the whole were found wanting in terms of purity, but dangerous in terms of industrial might. This made them a threat to the Co-prosperity Sphere that would have to be marginalized if the Japanese were to take their rightful place as masters of the Western Pacific Rim.
U.S. interests in the West Pacific went back to the last decades of the 19th century, when a new thirst for overseas markets and imperial possessions had gripped the Americans. Beginning in the early days of U.S. imperialism, a quiet concern had taken root in U.S. foreign affairs that came to be called the Yellow Peril. This concept, first applied to the Chinese, argued that America might be conquered if all of the vast yellow and brown peoples of the Western Pacific could be unified under a single authority and armed with modern weapons. Initially, Japan seemed like a long shot to serve as this single authority. The Japanese had a reputation as a race that was unskilled, physically weak, and unable to build a culture of their own. But in late 1941 this would all change.
The bombing of Pearl Harbor opened a rush to reevaluate U.S. understanding of the Japanese. Clearly, the Americans thought, here was the personification of the Yellow Peril: an aggressive industrialized state seeking an empire to directly threaten the United states. But the reevaluation went much farther than that.
In describing the Japanese psyche, U.S. experts stated that due to long isolation, a suppression of individualism, and harsh child-rearing practices, the Japanese were prone to feelings of inferiority and anger. The experts also believed that the Japanese had serious anal/phallic fixations that fostered a childish/adolescent mentality that was emotionally immature. This then explained the tribal character of Japanese society, as well as its lack of adherence to Western international practices and its unquenchable thirst for economic and territorial domination.
This vision of immaturity and tribal conduct led to a popular U.S. perception of the Japanese as primitive. Harsh racial bigotry found this view a ready point of departure for images of the Japanese as simian brutes who could only recognize coercion. For many Americans, this view was all too believable, and it encouraged and enabled them to believe that the Japanese could only be beaten through genocide. Degrees of this mentality justified the Americans' use of their most terrible weapons to kill as many Japanese as possible, for if they were not defeated in this fashion, the threat of Yellow Peril might resurface within a generation.
Alan S. Brody, Spring, 2011
John W. Dower in War Without Mercy brings forward concepts of race, racialization and racial hierarchy, within the context of World War Two. While these concepts seem related, the subtle nuances and the way in which the Japanese and Americans manipulated them show the power of words and imagery. Dower wants the reader to understand the way in which the Germans were portrayed in political terms and the Japanese in racial terms. Dower helps readers to engage in the process of marking this historical moment as only one point along a continuum of long standing prejudices in the United States. By comparing and contrasting an American history with the Japanese history, we see the ways in which complex ideas of superiority were used to justify brutality and justify atrocities. The degree to which racism it rears its ugly head or is tolerated or officially endorsed depends on the circumstances.
At one level, the bombing of Pearl Harbor can be seen as one powerful notion that lead us to vicious portrayals of the Japanese, however, Dower wants readers to see that the denigration of the Japanese extended to all of the people not just the military. While there were fears in the United States of an alliance of oppressed peoples or perceived uprising against the white race, many Blacks held no different attitudes than the mainstream. I suggest that as the war progressed and more and more people were personally effected, the more people needed to embrace the 'other' and the less human that 'other' the easy it became for the ends to justify the means. In many ways, this is a very troubling read, not because of the language and imagery, although that it is certainly painful nor is it because of the fact that one still encounters signs of our racist society. It is disturbing because the ideas of race and power allowed war without mercy and one wonders what tapped into the collective psyche to allow such atrocities. The same case can be made after the events of September 11, 2001 when there appeared to be a moment in time when Americans were eager to embrace the rhetoric of hate.
What are the historical lessons learned from this work? The first is that the United States was complicit in specifically allowing and even encouraging heinous stereotyping and racial prejudices. The second is that the Japanese also had a history of racial hierarchy was used in on the same scale and spectrum as the Americans. The third is that Dower wants to complicate an understanding of intent and action and he is successful in doing so. This work is a valuable addition to not just military history but also to social history as it speaks to many ideas of norms, values, and attitudes about race and imperialism.

December 17, 2014
Present - Dylan Anders, Phil Pegg, Norma Brink, Christine Novicky, Pam Klinger, Pam ClowerAbsent - Shirley Wajda, Lance Klinger
President's Report: Christine Novicky gave remarks on the Historical Marker Dedication. The event was held 9/20/14 with approximately 130 attendees. There were photos in The Tribune Chronicle & on Vienna Ohio's Facebook. The Society received recognition certificates from Gov. John Kasich, a recognition certificate from Ohio Senate/Sen. Cafaro, a recognition certificate from Ohio History Connection. The coloring contest had 20 entries total and there was a cookie reception in gazebo afterwards.
Vice President's Report: Pam Clower waived Shirley Wajda's 2014 membership dues for her $10 domain registration payment for viennahistory.org for 2014.
Secretary's Report: Dylan Anders read thank you note from Representative Sean O'Brien. A THANK YOU note was sent to Dave Cover for the Butts Museum tour – September 2014 Program. A THANK YOU note was sent to Gayle Hulton for Vienna Memorial Day Foundation - Red History Booklet – given to Christine Novicky at the Ohio Historical Marker Dedication (currently in Shirley Wajda's possession). A THANK YOU note was sent to Thelma Gibson for the Trumbull County Planning Commission book – Historic Inventory of homes – Vienna, Ohio included.

Pam presented the current fiscal report from January 1, 2014 - Dec 17, 2014. The Board approved the fiscal report.
o Motion - Pam Clower, Second - Norma Brink
Historian's Report: Shirley Wajda emailed President Christine Novicky her report. Shirley redesigned Viennapedia as a website in viennahistory.org because the wiki site began to charge annual rates. The new design is cleaner, with easier searching. The encyclopedia is an ongoing process. Still needed: basic information such as lists of Township trustees, lists of graduating classes, and more twentieth-century and recent history. She is currently researching the Vienna Consolidated School building and World War I soldiers. She called Warren-Trumbull County Library to inform the Local History librarians of the change in URL to viennapedia.viennahistory.org--their website still lists the old wiki URL. Email inquiries are down - partly due to Viennapedia? Viennapedia has proved useful: Youngstown State University Public History students created in late spring 2014 an exhibit at Trumbull County Historical Society on the education in the county, featuring three townships, one of them being Vienna. She is still working on the means to link Viennapedia to smartphone tours of the Township. Several apps are available.
The Vienna Historical Society's Facebook page has 219 likes, with a growth of about 40 likes within the last two months.
Unfinished Business
The Society's Tax Exempt address is still listed as "Warren, OH" on the IRS website. The Society faxed letter May 14, called IRS last week to change.
The Ohio Continuing Existence Certificate will not need re-filed until 2018. The current address is Shirley Wajda's Vienna address and it is $25 to change this. No action at this time.
Gift Agreement Forms are to be sent out to all those that have donated to the Society. Donors will be asked to sign and date the form so that items can be officially accepted into the Society. Recently donated items are currently being stored at Christine Novicky's house.

our blood is no good.
I've written a little and talked a little publicly (at the Influence Conference) about the days that led up to us having a massive scare in this pregnancy. Because of the sensitive (read: a little gross) nature of what went down medically, we left a lot of people in the dark and because of the sensitive (read: super convicting) nature of what went down spiritually, we left a lot of people in the dark. I don't think you have to tell the whole story to tell a true story, so I'll continue sharing the bits of those days that feel appropriate.
I really had not been feeling right. On the day before my girl's vacation, I'd walked around Target – pushing the massive three-kid cart, occasionally stopping to rub my abdomen. I was tired to the point of tears. The day was full, full, full but I saw no way around it. I was needed. And people's need for me was what kept me going. If I got quiet long enough, I could admit to myself that I simultaneously hated being needed so intensely and loved being needed. I vacillated wildly between wanting EVERYONE to know how much was on my plate and how much I was juggling so they'd respect me and wanting to hide it all away, completing my tasks in secret so they wouldn't judge me for taking on too much.
I just wanted to meet the needs, you know? Well. Maybe I didn't always WANT to meet the needs but when I was presented with them – kids, homeschool, pastors wife, community, emails, shop, blog, conference, websites, business ideas, friends, family - I only saw two options. The view from my small mind was that I could either MEET THE NEEDS at all costs or I could fail. At everything.
So I lived a day that was far too full, where I refused to say no to a single task or person or whimsical demand that crossed my mind and the next night, I began to bleed. I laid in the hospital bed with the full realization that I was bleeding out because I had ministered out of myself rather than taking a single minute to ask the Lord where He wanted me to be ministering. Because truly, if I'd asked Him what He wanted done and let Him do the work, He would've received all the credit. But the way I was headed, I did all the work, I met all the needs, I got all the glory. Or – all the blame when it all came toppling down.
The Lord saw fit to change that story. The bleeding stopped physically and the baby is now safe. And He reminded me that day – my blood is no good. It will not do this world, this family, this internet, our church, our friends any good if I continually bleed out in an effort to meet the needs of those around me. Jesus has bled for all of us – once and for all – and any effort I put forth in servitude rather than motivated by His lavish grace is useless. When I want to be the hero, He can't be. I mean – He will be, because I'll fail and He will pick up the pieces. When I want to bleed out and be the mama-lady-martyr, I'll just keep bleeding.
I'm learning that being a drink offering is so different than being a blood offering. A drink offering is a saint who looks to the real sacrifice and is constantly refilled by Living Water as they seek to serve where He sees fit. A blood offering is someone who looks at the great gift of grace and mercy on the cross and says – "No. I think I'll meet my own needs. And those of the people around me". Jesus is either a great example for something we can never be or He is our everything. For me - Jesus cannot just be a good example of a human, He has to be the perfect and complete offering of all I desperately long for.
For me, I'm done bleeding out. My blood is no good.

In my line of work I make it part of my mission to provide a soft landing and a warm welcome to my relocating clients, who choose to move to London for a great new job or promotion. Moving to a new city can be stressful, overwhelming, and filled with uncertainty for any family.
Now imagine that you are not given a choice; that you have to flee your home and country because of conflict and war. Perhaps you are leaving members of your family behind, schoolmates, or the job and profession that provided for your family.
Despite it fading from the headlines we are still facing the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time, the Syrian refugee crisis where more than 11 million people have been killed or forced to flee their homes as a result of civil war.
London's response to the refugee crisis has been incredible and I am proud to be a part of the community that is welcoming them to Canada. Recently, I was connected to the Calvary United Church who had successfully sponsored their second refugee family – the Al Qawartis – a lovely and gracious extended family of ten. I have been truly inspired and energized by the group of committed volunteers who have come together to re-settle the Al Qawartis, who have arrived in late July.
All of this action is not without a few bumps in the road, of course. Like many local agencies, we too have had to adjust and respond to the timelines, demands and the volume of families who have come to London and safety for a chance at a new start.
Get Involved!
While I am not a parishioner at Calvary, they welcomed me to their team with open arms and, in fact, are welcoming other churches wishing to lend a hand in some way. There are many opportunities to get involved to help with the effort and both government and privately sponsored groups are calling for volunteers.
You can make a donation (and not just with cash). You can donate your gently used furniture and household supplies, clothing, your children's old bikes and helmets, and old computers that still work.
You can volunteer. There is so much to do to ensure the ease of re-settlement for refugee families. From helping find and secure a place to live, to transporting families to get OHIP and SIN cards, to taking people to appointments and registering for school, to showing how the bus system works and how to access services. If you speak Arabic, please consider lending your time and talents as there is high demand for translators.
There are several organizations in the city in need of volunteers. Additionally, there are many local organizations and faith-based groups who have privately sponsored Syrian refugees and who may require support.
I can tell you that the work is incredibly rewarding and I encourage others to consider lending time, treasures and/or talents because there is a lot to do and the need remains constant. London has a big heart and I am always delighted with the generosity we show to the world.
The Canadian response to the Syrian Refugee Crisis by the numbers.
The Canadian government announced on November 24, 2015 plans to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees to help alleviate the overwhelming number of refugees seeking a safe haven. Refugees would either come as a Government Sponsored Refugees or as Privately Sponsored Refugees.
As of July 24, 2016 Canada has welcomed 29,413 Syrian Refugees and a total of 320 communities, including London, have rolled out the welcome mat.
Government-Assisted Refugees: 16,078
Blended Visa-Office Referred Refugee: 2,790
Privately Sponsored Refugees: 10,545

Debord KY 41214 Alcohol Counselor Which You Can Count On
If you are going through a tough time and having problem with cravings, alcohol abuse counselor can be a buffer that keeps you safe. You can call a alcohol abuse counselor or point individual who can help talk you through a craving. You can meet them as soon as possible to enhance what you have actually found out and find out how to deal the next time it takes place.

Making A Way Real estate, Inc. makes most of its revenues through the rental of realty. The organization's core activity is offering cost effective housing for homeless persons and those undergoing treatment for alcohol addiction counseling. The homeowners pay lease that is subsidized by grants. Rental charges are not market rate, but they're not free either. They have 70 two-bedroom systems. Each unit is occupied by two homeowners who might pay between $100-350 each month. At these occupancy rates, they can generate in between $14,000 and $49,000 per month.
Not up until numerous years into my healing have I recognized that I didn't like myself all that much. It is easy to see now that if I had actually liked who I was, I would not have actually treated myself the way I did. Self-deprecating thoughts and depressive behavior was typical for me the majority of my life. Mind you, I did not realize this till years of healing. Like I said, I had what I seemed like in the inside confused with exactly what I believed people saw on the exterior.
I learned the best ways to manage the anxiety attack when I went to alcohol counseling, however I still suffered anxiety. The key to my healing from Stress and anxiety and anxiety attack was to get my head around that the anxiety attack could not harm me, and that I would be ok. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was my life saver. It taught me about my feelings, why I was feeling the method I was, and ways to control those sensations.

What does one do when the forecast calls for rain all day? You throw on your coziest sweater dress and hibernate in the cutest cafe you can find!
That's what my gal pal (and insanely talented photographer) Jen and I did when it started pouring mid-shoot last week. Luckily, I was wearing the sweater dress of my dreams and my new favorite loafers so I could run at the speed of light (aka a 10-minute mile at best) for cover. We found solace in Paul Bakery where we found the cutest little corner and quickly devoured an artichoke quiche, pear pie and lattes to keep us toasty warm.
I'll admit - this dress from Old Navy has been worn more than one time in the past week…ok, maybe more than TWO TIMES but I'm not sorry about it. It's the softest dress that calls my name every time I pass it in my closet. WEAR ME, it beckons, YOU KNOW YOU WANT ALL THE COZY FEELS. It already knows me so well.
Another thing - these loafers are everything. EVERYTHING. Ever since spotting a similar Vince style last year, I knew I wanted a similar pair that wouldn't break the bank (they're only $25!) These will, no doubt, me on my feet on Christmas day. Because Lord knows three different family meals in one day calls for all the comfort a girl can find (and it certainly doesn't help that they're as cute as can be!) I'm so happy these walked their way into my life (see what I did just there?!)
I wanted to balance out this cozy look, so I added a few of my edgier silver jewelry pieces and a bright lip. You know, just like I balanced out the 5 cookies I ate last night with a trip to JRINK Juicery - see! No harm done. ;)
Thanks so much to Old Navy for sponsoring this post!

Intercultural coaching
Le cours SAVOIR ETRE
en ASIE de SELFARMONIA vous permettra en une journée de :
· mieux comprendre les codes comportementaux des asiatiques afin de faciliter les relations professionnelles avec vos partenaires et d'éviter certains écueils,
· avancer plus facilement dans le cadre d'un rapprochement d'entreprises, (fusion-acquisition, alliance stratégique ) notamment en vue de l'élaboration d'une vision partagée
Coaching and interculturalism have co-existed for a long time, without ever interacting or finding mutual enrichment. I am a professional coach who has lived with different cultures since childhood.
Following the example of Philippe Rosinski (www.philrosinski.com) who certified me, I felt I had to bring these two notions together. You will find an example in the text below:
Reminder of the logic of the 'OR'
Since Aristotle, in the Western world, it is mainly the logic of the 'OR' that has prevailed. One thing and its opposite cannot co-exist (night and day, for example). This means having to make a choice, between one thing OR another, depending on certain criteria to be defined. For example, in
enterprises, in matters of mergers and acquisitions, the buyer often imposes his own form of organisation and culture on the firm that he has bought, precisely because he is the buyer, on the one hand because he feels the organisation is well tried and on the other hand, for better standardisation, just to make the new entity's organisation simpler and easier.
As such, the logic of the 'OR' leaves out a third possibility, which makes it a logic of the 'excluded middle'.
The logic of the 'AND' comes from Taoism
One of the essential principles of Taoism is written on the Taoist Wheel. The Black represents action (Yang) and the White receptivity (Yin), two universal energies that are to be found in each being and thing. Contrary to what one might think, they are not opposites, but complementary.
The logic of the 'AND' comes from Taoism
action (Yang) and the White receptivity (Yin), two universal energies that are to be found in each being and thing. Contrary to what one might think, they are not opposites, but complementary.
Like every wheel, this wheel goes round and round, but never stops. The Black/Yang gradually and inexorably lets the White/Yin take its place, then, the latter does the same for the Black/Yang and so on...
The Wheel shows:
1) the alternating of complementary energies
2) The complement is always potentially latent in the other side (the White Yin spot in the Black of the Yang, the Black Yang spot in the White of the Yin.
How does this affect the business world? It can teach us to:
1) Learn how to create solid complementarity in terms of values : competence ressources (techniques, professions, know-how) and culture (vision, ethics)
2) Dig out a fundamental similarity between what seems to be different on a formal level, which can result in better managerial convergence (namely during the integration period).
The logic of the 'AND' comes from Buddhism
Buddhism teaches these four principles (among others) :
1) Impermanence is everywhere in the Universe: every being, every thing and every phenomenon is perpetually changing, even imperceptibly ( the renewal of human cells, for example) and nothing really lasts.
2) There is no cause without effect, nor effect without cause: good causes produce good effects, but the opposite is also true.
3) There is not one thing OR its opposite, but the notion of 'included middle' : 1+1=3
4) My enemy is my master How does this affect the business world?
1) Global economy evolves very quickly and a firm that is profit-making today can find it is being seriously challenged because of its production costs and selling prices and/or become the target of a more or less hostile buyer. In either case, a loss of values ensues, both human and financial. If the management has created an enterprise culture upstream, where the future is prepared in the present, it can depend on a supple anticipation, thanks to a permanent 'letting go' of what is no longer adapted and not just when the moment is more or less appropriate.
2) A studied elaboration of a shared vision on all levels of the enterprise and its effective application on an operational level leads to the mutualisation of human energy where
everyone's motivation will be apparent thanks to the creativity of each individual. It will create better resistance to certain destructive impacts of the market.
3) During a restructuration, there is a profitable 'lever effect' to find when one creates a new 'enterprise culture', starting from the good customs of the older firm. Indeed, if one puts a
'building together' process in place, created equanimously, it will be a more middle term source of profit.
4) There is no point in wasting time in an endless and often sterile battle; the competitor must be considered as an inexhaustible source of learning and a stimulus for progress.

Are You Just a Mother or Father or are You a Special Mommy or Daddy?/
My oldest sister Sylvia gave me this plaque as a gift for Mother's Day about 20 years ago. It says simply: Anyone can be a mother but it takes someone special to be a mommy. At the time, my oldest son Zac was about 9 years old and his brother James was 4 years old. I have treasured that plaque since and keep it on my bathroom counter where I see it every day. You can probably observe the age on it with all the scratches. Sylvia has long passed away, but her memory and love continue on.
I felt so proud and honored that she noticed that I was a "mommy" and not just a mother. I invested my love and time in my sons, as did my late husband Gordon. We cherished them. I played with them; helped them with homework; read with them; drove them to school and afterschool sports; took them to church, etc., etc. I wanted to impart all I could in my sons so that they would grow up to be loving, caring, smart young men who above all loved the Lord.
It's not easy to be a mommy or daddy. It takes a lot of time, energy, and commitment, but it is totally worth it. Today, my sons are both in their 20s and have grown up to be sons whom I admire and respect. To God be the glory!

Here's Laura to tell the tale of the cover:
"I'm happy and honored to be back on your blog, Melissa--I could spend all day reading these fascinating cover stories!
"The Jade Notebook is the third and final book in the travel-adventure-themed Notebooks series, each of which is set in a different country. The series went through a few different cover looks over the past few years. If you're curious, you can read the story behind the hardcover look of the first in the series, The Indigo Notebook, here. For that cover, my publisher, Delacorte, did a photo shoot of an open, vintage-style suitcase containing items that evoked each different setting, below. (The Indigo Notebook is set in the Andes of Ecuador, The Ruby Notebook in southern France, and The Jade Notebook in a small Mexican beach town.)
"After the publication of The Indigo Notebook with the suitcase cover (above), Delacorte decided to change the look of the paperback and subsequent books in the series. My understanding is that the influential bookstores pushed for this, believing that a photo of a pretty girl on the cover would increase sales. With the new cover look—back views of a girl with a gorgeous background, right--Delacorte wanted to project a sense of romance and fun in a seductive setting.
"I do think that the new cover look achieves this, but I have to admit, I did appreciate that the suitcase-themed covers clearly evoked the idea of travel, which is central to the series. Still, the backgrounds in the new look do suggest exotic locales. For me, the final cover of The Jade Notebook -- a girl swimming in crystal, blue-green waters – evokes an almost visceral reaction of 'I want to go there!' It's so sensual--I can almost feel the tropical water, taste the salt. he color of the sunlit water feels delicious to me… especially now, in mid-February, when I'm longing for the beach! And I was really happy that they photo-shopped sea turtles in the image, since they're essential to the plot. I also think the font is lovely--eye-catching and whimsical—and suits the story well.
"The only aspects of the final Jade cover that I wasn't happy about were: 1) I wish the girl's skin and hair were darker to more accurately reflect Zeeta's appearance. (In response, Delacorte said they did the best they could using stock photos.) 2) It would've been nice to somehow suggest more mystery, danger, and adventure since there's actually a lot more to the story than sweet romance in a beautiful natural setting.
"Overall, though, I'm happy with the cover, and appreciate the work that the designers went through to come up with appealing images. You can read more about the book here. You can see photos of the setting for the book on my blog, here and here. I'm doing a book give-away this week, so feel free to swing by my blog and enter. Thanks for reading!"
Thanks, Laura! I do think the suitcase covers are charming, but I understand the appeal of the new ones too (see all three, above). They're almost more arresting at first glance, which is really important. (Though I do love the idea of pouring over the original covers and seeing all the little items in the suitcase.)
What do you guys think?
PS-Remember to visit Laura's blog for the giveaway this week.

This Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats is like having dessert for breakfast! Creamy oats, crunchy pecan nuts, and packed with pumpkin pie flavors, make this the perfect fall morning treat!
Overnight oats are a no-cook method of making oatmeal. Instead of cooking your oats with liquid on the stove or in the microwave, you mix rolled oats with the liquid and other mix-ins, and let it rest in the fridge overnight.
In the morning, you have a creamy, pudding-like porridge ready to be devoured. You can eat it at room temperature, or pop the jar in the microwave and heat it for 30 seconds, for a warm comforting brekkie.
This Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats has quickly become a household favorite. It's crunchy, creamy, slightly spiced, and it makes a perfect grab-and-go breakfast for busy mornings. It's simple to make and loaded with healthy goodness. Best of all, it takes just 5 min prep. Easy-peasy and SO yum.The recipe is super easy, requiring only 6 ingredients: rolled oats (if you're gluten intolerant make sure to use certified gluten-free oats), fresh milk, pecan nuts, fresh (or canned) pumpkin puree, and pumpkin spice mix. All sweetened up with pure maple syrup.
Basically, all the flavours of pumpkin pie packed in a healthy breakfast!I'm a huge fan of pumpkin, so when is in season I like to make a few batches of fresh pumpkin puree every week, and use it for all all kind of savoury and sweet pumpkin recipes. If you make your own pumpkin puree, make sure to freeze a few portions, so that you can have it at hand for quick recipes such as this Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats.For the milk, I like to use a2 Milk™. This award-winning milk brand produces natural milk without the A1 protein, which is the one that causes many health issues to people who are dairy intolerant, so it's suitable for sensible tummies!If you're a pumpkin spice lover, you'll love this Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats! But this recipe works also good as a base, so you can put together your favorite ingredients. Mix in whatever fruit, seeds, spices or sweetener you like, and enjoy a healthy different version every day of the week.

Running in the dark- Go for it!
Wednesday, November 6, 2013
Autumn has arrived and runners now have to battle cold temps and lack of sunlight for their outdoor runs. The change of season hopefully won't affect your training schedule. Although seasonal changes are a good reminder to periodize your regime, here are some tips for running in the dark so you feel safe and motivated.
· Find a running buddy – Not only will this get you out of bed at 6:30am but it also will be more fun to have someone to talk to and compete against. Take turns planning routes and setting Fartleks to keep your training sessions fresh.
· Wear light colours and/or reflective gear – You want cyclists, pedestrians and automobiles to be able to see you. If they see you, there is less of a chance they will hit you as you cross the street. Nobody wants to end a run flat out on the ground.
· Change up the route – Vary the times you run and the routes you take. It will make your training interesting and will avoid the locals at the pub to expect you to run by at a certain time.
· Enjoy the sounds of the city – When running it is best to be aware of your surroundings to avoid collisions with those cyclists, pedestrians and automobiles (it is a two-way street, after all). Leave the MP3 player at home and have a listen to what is around you. Although the beat might help you stay on pace, you can take this opportunity to focus on your breathing pattern and technique.
· Stick to populated areas (not dark deserted parks or canals) – Run along main roads that are brightly lit if you are by yourself. Avoid dark alleys, deserted parks, and unlit canal paths. If you think you are being followed, run to a public place, like a shop or restaurant, and have a quick rest.
· Tell a friend where you are going and when you will be back – Just like a blind date with someone you met on the internet, you want to let your flatmate know where you are going on your run and how long you will be. If you aren't back by a certain time, they will be able to use that info to retrace your steps. Hopefully they will never need to do so but if you have an unexpected injury, you will be grateful!
· Find a local track – Training on a track is fantastic for speed work as well as endurance training. You will know exactly how far you ran as well as meet others who are passionate about running. The UK Running Track directory (http://www.runtrackdir.com/) can help you find one.
· Run to work or after work or during work – Kill two birds with one stone and run to or from work. It will save you some money and lessen your impact on the environment. If you are lucky enough to have a shower at work, squeeze in a run mid-day to relieve stress from your morning meeting.
Just because we are in for a long winter, doesn't mean you need to quit running outdoors. Hopefully the tips above will help you stay on track.

Reality Stranger than Fiction/
The situation in Malheur National Wildlife refuge has escalated to the point of absurdity. So much that it is now a mirror for a fiction book I wrote and Christopher Herndon illustrated in 2012. Terra Tempo, the Four Corners of Time.
The basic plot of the book revolves around three kids who use a magic map to time travel to the distant past. The book is the second in a series so these kids have traveled time before but now 600 million years is open to them.
This time, however, the kids are not alone. It turns out that there is a group of ARMED THUGS who claim to own the magic map. These thugs have no problem using force and violence to intimidate the youth.
The big chase scene in the book is supposed to be a metaphor for private interests in monetary gain on public land. The time maps reveal the origins of precious resources and the Thugs think they can own those resources through time travel and the rule of "first come first serve"
These elements of the book were supposed to be subtle sarcasm. As in "Ha ha. Gun weilding land grabs in the west were part of the past." "It couldn't possibly happen in the future"
We featured public lands throughout the American Southwest because there are so many beautiful, picturesque, public lands there. That and the Colorado Plateau is where the book of nature's time is most eloquently displayed.
In our book the magic maps were made by the Rough Riders who were led by Teddy Roosevelt. The backstory on the time maps is that there was a split amongst the soldiers as to whether the time travel maps were to be used for study and the enrichment of our understanding of the earth or for the greedy purpose of making money off resources.
Again were creating a bit of satire back then. Everyone knows that Teddy Roosevelt is the reason we have so many National Parks. His presence in the book is minimal but Chris and I both think he was the greatest President ever. In our story the Rough Riders found the secret to time travel in their post-war quarantine at Montauk in 1898.
In Terra Tempo the gun wielding thugs were supposed to be a metaphor for the dangers our future (the youth) are facing from outdated ideologies (the thugs). Now here in 2016 it's not a metaphor, it's reality.
The line between fact and fiction is obscured.
Check out the series! Look up my book. There has never been a better time to read the Terra Tempo series. And if you order one from the www.craigmorecreations.com website illustrator Chris Herndon and myself will sign and personalize your copy.
Thank you for reading. I had to take all the photos from my phone. They are actual photos of pages from the book. Kind of home spun but the best I can do this morning :-)

Deeply Rooted is a genuine statement of love, dedication, artistry, empowerment, and life-affirming rebellion. Beyond these very real cultural elements, Deeply Rooted comprises a handsome, nicely illustrated, well-written, informed book about growing and using herbs in the Big City.
-Matthew Wood MS (Herbal Medicine)
Registered Herbalist (AHG)
In Deeply Rooted, Weaver brings together medicinal and growing information, story and politics. She weaves these topics together in a way that reminds us how everything is interconnected. Weaver shares valuable and practical information through her lens of love and respect for the plants.
-Sarah Holmes, Clinical Herbalist
Blue Otter School of Herbal Medicine
Co-Host of The Herbal Highway on KPFA
Deeply Rooted is filled with insight, wisdom and most importantly hope. Hope for a world that doesn't leave us victims to a broken medical and agricultural system.
-Jamie Chan, Fog City Gardener
Bonnie Rose Weaver is a force of nature: an urban farming herbalist with a deep connection to using plants to heal. Her gorgeous book, Deeply Rooted, informs and inspires the radical understanding that we, as city-dwelling folk, can connect back to our herbal heritage to heal the earth, and ourselves.
-Novella Carpenter, Farm City
and The Essential Urban Farmer
Bonnie Rose gets it – Deeply Rooted is based in ancient wisdom and has a modern sense of place.
-Peg Schafer, Chinese Medicinal Herb Farm
Deeply Rooted brings to light the current issues facing herbalists, plant-folk and city-dwellers alike. Its 'down in the soil' approach reminds us that learning directly from the plants, growing and tending them and using those that live around us is some of the most potent medicine we have in today's world. Bonnie Rose asks us not to simply witness the magic of plants but to be an active participant that continues to honor and nurture our one precious Earth in the most difficult of modern times.
-Sarah Kate + Summer Ashley, The Great Kosmic Kitchen

Let's continue that situational awareness track from the previous news item this week and talk about another story from Boston about an ambulance struck by gunfire during a response. It was a crazy situation that actually had nothing to do with the call they were on.
Shots Fired at Ambulance
While at a scene with another patient and Springfield, Massachusetts police officers, they were approached by man being chased by two others following a botched robbery. The two assailants chased and fired shots at the man causing everyone to take cover.
No one was hurt, luckily but bullets did strike the ambulance with the patient inside. While there's nothing these EMS providers could have done to avoid this incident, it does show how you need to know your areas around your response district. You know what I mean.
Neighborhood Situational Awareness
What parts of your city or jurisdiction are high crime areas where you need to be more aware of your personal safety and that of your patients? Where does it make a good idea to load and get on the road rather than stay where you are for a bit and do some treatment in the back of the unit?
Situational awareness requires some planning and thought ahead of time. Make sure you consider these things while prepping for your next shift on the unit and be prepared to handle the most likely situations.

Every day we walk a new trail. Even if it appears to be the same one we walked yesterday, there are subtle and sometimes not so subtle changes all around us. Yesterday I hiked my favorite trail in Aliso and Woods Canyon wilderness park. It's tucked alongside a creek and is partially hidden from the main hiking and mountain biking fire trail. Only hikers are allowed on this sweet single track surrounded by a wild, magical grove of oak and sycamore trees. Each time I hike in, I notice changes caused by the weather. New rain ruts appear or deer tracks, hiking boot prints, fallen trees, or crazy overgrowth from Spring busting loose and not caring where She grows her wild flowers. Poison oak has spread far and wide, clinging and climbing up and over and under and between. Each time I pass through, it feels new and welcomes me like a familiar friend with the birds calling and creek frogs singing and the rustling leaves of small animals nearby. I was lucky to spend a few moments exchanging eye to eye with a deer yesterday. She paused and looked my way as I stopped to enjoy her beauty and grace, the sun highlighting her gorgeous color.
I spent a quiet few minutes lost in the sounds and whispers of nature as I sat underneath this very special ancient oak that is a Shaman's "journey" tree for me. It seems the beauty of this tree could well be the Mother of this entire park! Her towering trunk and large limbsI reaching up and beyond all the neighboring trees, shading the path and housing all manner of birds and crawly things. A most peaceful 30 minutes!

By HARVEY ROSEN For those of you whose favorite indoor and outdoor sport is to kvetch (as in to whine or complain) I must confess that there are some who strongly believe that I already have a Kvetching PhD - and in the Honours program to boot.
It was earned with minimal effort on my part during my elementary school days, both in English at William Whyte, Aberdeen, and Champlain schools (We moved a lot.) and in Yiddish, when I was deemed to be a rather precocious lad back in the day when I attended Shalom Aleichem School, which was once located across from our grocery store at the corner of Pritchard and Salter.
The latter business is no longer there, but should you care to visit the empty lot to pay your respects, it has become a shrine, both to honour my academic accomplishments (back then we had standards in education) and for being the fastest bottle sorter in the entire province.
And please, leave your cell phones, laptops, or any other electronic wonders at home - plus any snacks, cigarettes, cigars, or pot. Should you have any other disposables that ought to be taken to the local dump, please do so. Oh yes, no loud music please. Forget the pleases. Just do it, damn it !
See how facile it has become for a professional kvetcher to slip the aforementioned diatribe by you?
Well, lets get on with the negativism, I mean the sports scene. On Tuesday last the Minnesota Wild came to town in what used to be called a four pointer because the teams are in the same division. You win outright in regulation time and you receive two points, while the other team gets to chew on the centre of the bagel. If you win in overtime or in a shootout, the loser has to be compensated with a single point. That's what I refer to as the "rachmoonus" (pity) rule.
When the playoff positions are finally determined sometime in mid-April, there will be no shootouts or four-on-four, five-minute sudden death overtimes. Instead there will be as many 20-minute sudden death periods as will be deemed necessary in order to decide a game winner.
Hey, the after-midnight muggers, as well as the concession kiosks which will be open longer, have to make a living too. Peculiar, isn't it, that the game formats now change for the playoffs after having had all the teams play a grinding 82-game schedule under another standard ?
Now, where was I? Oh, the Wild came to town on the 10th of February, and I was looking forward to speaking with a pair of Jewish skaters who are in the Minnesota system. As my late mother Sarah used to say: "Mein Mazel" (my luck) whenever things didn't work out as she had anticipated
Left-winger Jason Alan Zucker, a sturdy fellow who is an inch under six feet and carries 186 lbs, would be my target. The 23-year-old is having the finest season of his career and just happens to be the Wild's second best sniper with 18 goals (a career high) plus five assists.
Scott and Natalie Zucker's son, who played his college hockey at the University of Denver and was the Western Collegiate Hockey Association Rookie of the Year, as well as being named to the Second All-Star team was nowhere to be found.
Where oh where was the one-time 2010 gold medal winner who strutted his stuff for Team USA in the World Juniors tournament? Couldn't the Wild have used the Newport Beach, California-born winger on this occasion?
Well, as fate would have it, on the night previous Minnesota was in Vancouver against the Canucks when Zucker was injured in the first period of a 5-3 Wild win. The big hurt was, as usual, listed in clandestine fashion as "an upper body injury" and he was placed on injured reserve.
In a matter of 24 hours the clouds rolled in and it became known that Jason had suffered a broken clavicle and would be out for three months. Within a day or two the left-handed shooter underwent surgery to repair the damage.
On March 26th last season Zucker underwent successful surgery on his quadriceps to repair a tendon and also missed the remainder of the season.
This was his breakout year. In his first 47 games, from 2012-2014, he scored eight goals and added four assists. This season alone, as previously alluded to, he was 18 and five in 48 games.
Now, where was my other victim, I mean interviewee, 26-year-old defenceman Jonathon Blum, who was a 2007 first-round draft pick (23rd overall) of the Nashville Predators? His résumé at the amateur level is exemplary! The former Vancouver Giant was a Western Hockey League all-star, also the winner of the Bill Hunter Trophy as the top rearguard in the league. Not to mention that in 2008-09 Blum was voted the Major Junior Defenceman of the Year. Just as an aside, I thought I'd mention that Blum toiled for three years with one-time Jets' personality Evander Kane. And, if I might annoy you further, the latter in his final season was a real Giant! In the 2006-09 campaign in 61 games Kane scored 48 goals along with 48 assists. Oh, and he was a legitimate two-way player registering a plus/minus of +51. Did the Buffalo Sabres fleece us?
Well, the 6'1'' and 190 lb. talent failed to reach fruition with Nashville and Blum was eventually signed as a free agent a year ago to a two-way pact with Minnesota. I noted that Blum, in late January, had been summoned from the American Hockey League Iowa Wild to the NHL and falsely believed that he was still under the big top. Not! His stay lasted a total of four games, during which he managed one assist and, in the plus-minus department, was an unspectacular minus-three - something that rarely draws accolades for defencemen in any league.
Jonathon has played 110 games in the NHL and recorded seven goals with 17 assists. In the AHL, with the Milwaukee Admirals and Iowa Wild, Zucker has played a total of 306 games. On the positive side if I may - for a change, the Jewish skater has also been named Des Moines' "Man of the Year? for his contributions to the community.
Now, don't you feel more relaxed? I do. Thanks for listening to my kvetching. Now I'm going to relax further with a cup of green tea and one of those kosher Gunn's Bakery cinnamon buns.
POST PATTER: In case your son or daughter chooses to become a goaltender, here is a quote from Newsday by a former pro who was once a guardian of the nets. "Playing goal is not fun. Behind a mask, there are no smiling faces, no timely sweaty grins of satisfaction. It is a grim, humorless position, largely uncreative, requiring little physical movement, giving little physical pleasure in return. A goalie is simply there, tied to a net and to a game; the game acts, a goalie reacts."
I learned recently that the Iowa Wild have in their employ a Jewish right-winger whose claim to fame is that few wish to take him on since his fast fists are his calling card. Joel Rechlicz, 27, has played in three games with the Washington Capitals and another 23 with the New York Islanders. He has a single assist to his credit in the NHL. Most of his 207 games have been played in the AHL, primarily with the Hershey Bears, where he has scored three times and added one other with the Iowa Wild. At 220 lbs. and standing 6'4" in height, Minnesota might require his services during the playoffs. (Note: his most penalty-filled season was with Hershey in 2011-12 where he amassed 267 penalty minutes in only 44 games.) You might soon see him in a rink near you. Like at the former location of Eaton's on Portage Ave. Even the statue of Timothy Eaton in the rotunda will quiver at its very foundation!

It's hard to believe January has come to an end...I had so much fun preparing the Super Bowl Soiree menu for my students! You just can't go wrong with a Beer Cocktail Station, Cracked Black Peppercorn Parmesan Dip with Kettle Chips, Buffalo Chicken Garlic Bread, Beef Filet Bites, and Potato-tot Skewers. This class was extra special because Jennifer became an official Crème Baker's Dozen member (13 classes!) and Erika joined the Crème Club (six classes!). You girls are the best! Your enthusiasm in the kitchen makes my week :)
Like I always say...we have to begin class with a drink! After all, it was a Tuesday. The Orange Delight, Strawberry Daiquiri, and Lime Margarita mix-ins were a hit with Michelob Ultra. The Beer Cocktail Station has been a crowd pleaser for the men and the ladies.
You can't say Super Bowl party without chips and dip. This isn't your mother's French Onion Dip though...the Cracked Black Peppercorn Parmesan Dip is definitely an elevated version. I like to warm up the kettle chips in the oven and sprinkle it with...hold your breath...more freshly grated parmesan cheese.
While my students were happily munching, I whipped up a tasty marinade for the beef filet bites. I plan on 4oz of beef filet per person. That way, you know they are getting a hearty appetizer. After it marinates in the oven for a few hours, I wrap each piece in bacon. This recipe is truly a no-brainer. Sear the bacon wrapped beef filet in a skillet for a few minutes and then finish off in the oven. Voila!
I loved that my students said that the Buffalo Chicken Garlic Bread recipe was the reason they booked this class! I had heard whispers from students the last few months desiring a buffalo chicken recipe. I went all out with layers of french bread, buffalo dip, generously seasoned chicken, more buffalo sauce, baby kale, a blue cheese drizzle, and thinly sliced carrots and celery. Presentation is everything!
My final recipe of the evening was Potato-tot Skewers. This recipe utilizes the ever so fancy microwave to cook the potatoes. It makes for a quick, tender potato that can be combined with dry seasonings. I freeze the potato mixture in little balls to later flash fry. Don't forget the skewer. Did I mention presentation is everything?
I had to sneak in a Chocolate-Covered Strawberry for dessert. After all, Valentines Day is right around the corner! Thank you ladies for a terrific class! I'm so thankful for all of you. Cheers! XOXO Paula

Photography Weekly Header created by TouchedD
A photograph is memory in the raw. - Carrie Latet
I recently spent some time (okay maybe hours!) exploring a photographic exhibition on the Isle of Wight - England. I had known that the exhibition existed for some years, but had never really ventured over there. It was held in the home and studio of a celebrated Victorian Photography - Julia Margaret Cameron. However it did include a nice variety of works - photographs from Dorothy Bohm who put together the book A world observed and a collection of shots taken at the famed 1970s Isle of Wight Pop Festival. It included images of Jimi Hendrix who performed at the festival just three weeks before his death. The images collated and exhibited were fascinating. But what really struck me was how far we had come in terms of camera equipment.
This was donated to the Margaret Cameron Trust by Graham Ovenden and was subsequently named after him as it had no brand markings on it. It's rumoured to be dated back to the 1900s. It's a camera! Although it has different purposes and does slightly different things to your standard point and shoot - imagine what we'd have had to contend with if this was the equipment we had to lug around in order to snap our memories and do our work. I for one, would never again complain about the weight of my two (very small in comparison) SLR cameras after seeing this!

Today we were in Dallas and we went by Dealey Plaza and the JFK Museum. As I asked my wife if she thought many people still believed it was a conspiracy (pre-truther and pre-birther), a man set up a display near us that put forth that very theory. That President Kennedy was not killed by Lee Harvey Oswald as the Warren Commission concluded. Later, we were visiting the impressive Perot Museum and I was struck by how logical it was and how well it explained evolution and how we got […]Read more →
Telling a friend that your couple relationship may need some work is often the first step towards change. Some couples drift towards divorce and eventually get there. Other couples learn to accept a certain mediocrity and collude to ignore relationship challenges. The best couples address relationship issues with a professional third party, such as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Communication, money, parenting and intimacy issues can be successfully addressed. But you have to stop complaining to your friends and family and take action. Call Brad Nowlin at 817-676- 5904 […]Read more →
I had a female client run into another female client in the waiting room of our private practice one day. She mentioned that they were discussing working with me and that they had agreed that I was helpful because I spoke "girl talk." At first I was flummoxed, thinking I might need to turn in my 'man card.' But then it dawned on me that I was being praised and that speaking girl talk was a good thing. And then I realized that if I was fluent in girl talk, […]Read more →
The author, Brene Brown, asks a question to evaluate whether something is essential. She asks will this serve the work? Gary Keller wrote a book around this concept: What One Thing. He asks what one thing, if done correctly, would make everything else easier and better. Mr. Keller advocates a single minded focus on this activity. What matters to me now is building my private practice. And the best way to do that is to humbly serve others and help them accomplish their therapeutic and life goals. That is what […]Read more →
Couple relationships start off with romantic or passionate love. It is a chemical high not too different from the intoxication of drugs. The dopamine is flowing and people will say and feel that their partner is sexy, no matter what they are doing. Over time, often about four months, the chemicals die down and the relationship moves into a more mature companionate love. Couples can get into trouble in a number of ways as they may grow differently or not share values. However, by articulating their goals, feelings and concerns, […]Read more →
One of my friends recently told me of an unpleasant counseling experience he had with his ex- wife. The therapist took a neutral position on the disclosure that his wife was actively involved in an affair. Rather than saying in clear terms that it was unacceptable and counter to rebuilding the marriage, the therapist minimized her ongoing affair and steered the conversation to what he could do differently. I choose to not be neutral in working with couples. I wish to be marriage friendly; to encourage couples to make it. While I have worked with […]Read more →
Having helped hundreds of couples over the last fifteen years has taught me an important lesson: Infidelity is survivable. To those couples in distress, you need to hear and believe this truth. It is not false hope as I've seen many couples not only survive, but reach a level of happiness in their relationship they didn't think was possible. I often see people at their worst at first with anger, guilt, sadness, jealousy, rage and other emotions on full display. Yet with disciplined hard work and a genuine desire to seek and give forgiveness, couples […]Read more →

Welcome to the blog and this post is a special one. We have a guest blog by Virgil Anderson who has some insight on how exercise can be helpful for people who are battling various forms of cancer. Thank you to Virgil for offering this article to my blog and I hope everyone can learn from the information offered.
Should Cancer Patients Be Exercising?
Being sick means you need rest, right? Yes, rest is important, but researchers are finding more evidence all the time that everyone, including people fighting a difficult cancer like mesothelioma, can benefit from physical activity. A cancer patient may not be training to run a marathon, but guided workouts with limitations in mind can provide a whole range of benefits.
Exercise Boosts Energy and Beats Fatigue
One very important reason to include exercise as a component of overall wellness is to battle fatigue. Cancer patients are vulnerable to severe fatigue that makes it challenging even to get out of bed in the morning. While exercise may be the last thing on a patient's mind, getting in some physical activity can help reduce this fatigue and provide a surge of energy. In fact, in some studies, cancer patients exercising regularly experienced up to 50 percent less fatigue than patients not exercising.
Cancer Patients who Exercise Have Longer Life Expectancies
As with healthy people who work out regularly and are physically fit, cancer patients can benefit from exercise by increasing their lifespans. One study found that breast cancer patients who worked out for at least two and a half hours per week were at a 67 percent lower risk of dying than similar patients who did not exercise. Other studies have found similar results and found that exercise also helps reduce the risk of a recurrence of cancer after remission.
Physical Activity Boost Mood
Cancer patients are understandably susceptible to depression, anxiety, stress, and other negative emotions, which can become overwhelming and difficult to live with. Exercise has long been known to have a positive effect on mood, reducing feelings of anxiety, depression, and stress, and helping people to feel more relaxed. Cancer patients can use exercise to help mitigate these negative feelings and as a healthful way to cope with them.
Exercise Helps Maintain Fitness and Weight
Regular physical activity keeps bodies strong and helps people maintain good cardiovascular fitness, while also helping people stick with a healthy weight. For cancer patients all of these are especially important. Being sick with cancer can cause fitness and muscles to deteriorate. Some patients may even gain weight. Regular exercise can help reduce the loss of fitness or build more strength, which in turn helps patients recover better. Maintaining a healthy weight has health benefits, but also helps cancer patients feel better about their bodies.
Exercise is not something to be taken lightly for someone living with cancer. If you have cancer, talk to your doctor before trying an exercise routine. You need to know what your limitations are. Once you do get started with fitness, consider working with a trainer who can help you meet your goals, safely.
Getting in physical activity is now recommended for most cancer patients as a way to improve overall health, to increase mobility, to boost mood, to fight fatigue, and to generally feel better about living with this illness. Fitness is important for everyone, but thanks to research we now know just how crucial it is for those of us living with cancer.

I get the email notification to the user who created the task but notto the approvers. I verified that email notification capability isenabled and a task list is being created each time. I'm now getting thenotification to approvers, but it's not sending the second email thathas the edit task option in the email.I've found several post that give different reasons and we've triedthem but it's not working.
Are you referring to the out of box approvals workflow? Make sure thatyour task list is set to send the notification emails. In the AdvancedSettings of the task list: In the "Email Notification" section, makesure that it's set to "YES".
Yes, I'm referring to the out of box approval workflow. I haveconfirmed we are doing that on the task list.
I can't seem to figure out why the emails are not being sent to the Assigned tousers. email notification is set up on the task list and users are receivingoverdue notices but not the initial email.Regarding the task list...I set up the permissions so that the user can only view and edit their own taskbut I noticed that the task added shows myself in the created by column . Isthere a way to set up the task list permissions so the user can only view/edittasks that are assigned to him/her?
There is no way to setup the task list to allow users to only edit tasksassigned to them. You need to change the security on each task so that only theassigned users have security rights to that task. If you are writing theworkflow in Visual Studio you can do this in code, if using SPD you will need toget a custom action that includes security. You may be able to find a customaction on CodePlex http://www.codeplex.com .

One of the (very few) things that I completely love about using a Mac for software development is the integrated command line which does a pretty good job of approximating a Unix environment. This is great for me, and supplements how I work nicely.
To get a similar environment under Windows has always been a great goal, but somewhat hindered by the completely shit that is cygwin. So, as I commented in my last entry, I have started using VirtualBox to provide a great scripting environment, but I'm still stuck in the mire of not having a decent terminal client to access the command line shell.
There are a number of alternatives, of which SecureCRT is probably the best (an awesome application that I've owned for many, many years) but it's a commercial piece of software that many people may not feel the need to buy. PuTTY is pretty good, but it's only a marginally better application than the standard Windows console application.
Frustration over the weekend finally got to the point of doing something about it, and I investigated a number of alternatives including Console2, Xshell, MinGW and finally settled on using MobaXterm (http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/en/). Great application with a number of awesome features that I've not completely finished exploring yet. It comes as a free for personal use, with an upgrade to a professional version for $49 EURO. I'll keep using it for a while to see if I want to upgrade, but I might do it just to support the work.
Hope that helps some people become more productive.
