Maps Are Key - Repost
Rachelle M. N. Shaw
In the transition of importing my blog posts from my Blogger account, there was one post that was lost. Seeing as it was posted so long ago but was still pertinent to my other writing advice posts, I wanted to share it with you guys once again. Maps Are Key - Original Post:
There are a lot of places I could start when giving advice to new writers and/or editors. Be open. Try different things. Writer about things that inspire you. But I'm not going to start with any of those things. In fact, I'm going to start with a part of writing that doesn't even involve writing for the most part: maps.
Sooner or later, you will need to create a map for your writing. Probably several. You'll need to have many different types of maps too. You'll need an outline of your projected piece of writing, for example, which literally serves as a map to the work you're going to create. Even if you're writing non-fiction, this holds true. If your story is one of fiction, you'll still need an outline, but you'll also need a different kind of map, and maybe more than one. You'll need a literal, physical map of the area you plan on covering in your story. What do I mean by that? Well, if your story takes place in a school, for instance, you should draw a map of that school. If part of the story takes place in a house or several houses, you should come up with the layout of them. If your story takes place in a made up world, draw a map of that world. And yes, this does mean that you'll have to use the ancient method of pencil/pen to paper for a while. If the ominous glow of the computer screen is too much for you to resist, it's faint humming beckoning for you to stroke it's various keys....well, just forget about it for now, okay? Turn it off, leave the room, and don't come back until you have a few maps drawn (or at least started) and an outline written.
Keep in mind, this doesn't mean that you can't do any writing at all until your maps and outline are complete. Most of the time, I get a beginning paragraph or two, jot down a few ideas in a notepad, and even hammer out a few character descriptions in Word or Excel before I set to drawing maps and writing outlines. And my maps constantly change shape. But drawing maps for your story forces you to step back from your writing before you get in so deep that you have to go back and figure out the structure of everything, and it keeps you well organized along the way. Particularly for longer books and novels, maps serve as very useful guides for keeping your story descriptions straight. You might have a general idea of how a place looks in your head, but sooner or later, you'll need details. You'll find yourself revisiting places in your story, and you don't want to contradict in a later part of your story what you said in the beginning. Consistency is key to good writing. Maps help you to be consistent, which in turn, makes your writing more accurate and believable.
You might think I'm someone who just loves to draw maps. On the contrary. I actually despise this part of writing. I'm not exactly skilled with it, and because I don't enjoy doing it, I tend to scribble enough down to get me through the story. That's not always exactly the best approach, especially considering I usually have to go back and redo a portion of my maps (which must be deciphered first since I didn't do a great job at depicting what I wanted the first go around) at one time or another during the writing process. Moral of the story? Take your time with maps. Draw them carefully. A lot of them. They'll help improve your writing skills before you ever even do any actual writing.
Though my early scribbles are usually made on computer paper or in a sketch pad, I really recommend using graph paper or drafting paper. It's easy to work with, especially if you have trouble drawing straight lines like I do, and it will help you keep everything in proportion. You'll be able to peg a more exact size of the areas you are covering in your book.
As you can see, maps really are essential to good story writing, for both fiction and non-fiction. Make maps an integral part of the writing process, and I guarantee your chances of writing a clear description or transition between sections will increase before you even set pen to paper. Or fingers to keyboard.

May 2002: Mt.Greylock State Reservation/
North Adams, Massachusetts
Long before Mt. Greylock became the first Massachusetts state park in 1898, it had attracted New Englanders with its panoramic five-state views. Great American writers and artists such as Edith Wharton, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville and Henry David Thoreau regularly trekked up the trails to Mt. Greylock's 3,491-foot summit. (Sadly, the natural site most associated with Thoreau, Walden Pond, is not open to dogs).
Threatened by logging and industrial development in the late 1800s, a group of Berkshire County businessmen formed a private land conservation association and purchased 400 acres at the summit to preserve Mt. Greylock. The Massachusetts Legislature purchased Greylock as a State Reservation in 1898 and over the next century the park grew to encompass more than 12,500 acres.
More than 45 miles of trails meander across Mt. Greylock State Reservation, including the Appalachian Trail that runs north-south over the summit. Many of the trails connect and it is easy to create looping circle hikes of any desired duration. An excellent trail map with elevation contours is available for planning a day's excursion.
One of the best ways to explore the park is with a circle hike around the Hopper, a U-shaped glacial ravine studded with old-growth spruce. The 7-mile loop combines several trails to the peaks of Mt. Prospect, Mt. Greylock and Mt. Williams with several outstanding vistas. Although most of the hiking is moderate, with elevation changes less than 1000 feet, the trail into and out of the Hopper, a designated Unique Natural Area, is the steepest in the park.
The Thunderbolt Trail leaves the Appalachian Trail opposite Robinson's point just north of the Mt. Greylock summit and follows the route of the Thunderbolt Ski Trail, an historic championship ski run down the eastern flank of the mountain. The Thunderbolt leads into Greylock Glen at the foot of the mountain where easy-walking trails explore wetlands, forests and farmlands. Side trails lead through Hemlock Gorge to Pecks Falls, one of several pleasing waterfalls at Mt.Greylock. Dogs are permitted in the 35-site campground in the Reservation.
A 100-foot tall stone War Memorial Tower commands the views at the summit of Mt. Greylock. Although your dog can't scale the tower the same sweepog views of the Hoosic River Valley are available from the stone wall and benches on the edge of the ridge. Also on the summit is a detailed three-dimensional sculpture of the Mt. Greylock Reservation.
Bash Bish Falls State Park (Falls Road off MA 41, Mt. Washington). With an 80-foot drop, Bash Bish Falls, in the southwestern corner of the state, is the highest waterfall in Massachusetts. The falls leap across bulging boulders until two divergent cascades freefall the final 45 feet into a sparkling pool. The waters continue plunging through the 200-foot gorge on their way into New York, just 200 yards away. The State of New York has appropriated the dramatic drops just across its border and actively promotes Bash Bish for its Taconic State Park. Parking lots and campsites help lure thousands on summer weekends leading to the base of the falls.
Massachusetts downplays its secluded jewel, providing only a small parking lot and no brochures or trail maps. The trail leading to the falls covers a steep mile around and into the gorge. The path is generally wide with clear views through the surrounding forest. An additional 30 miles of trails are available in Mount Washington State Forest, which contains Bash Bish State Park.
The Visitor Center is at the extreme southern entrance to the Reservation. From Exit 2 of the Massachusetts Turnpike, take Route 20 west to Route 7 north into Lanesborough. After reaching N. Main Street follow signs to Mt. Greylock State Reservation. If approaching from the north on MA 2, cross the junction with MA 8 in North Adams and continue 1.1 miles west and turn left on Notch Road into the Reservation.

Right Away Quick Splits
Jayne Barnes
-Posted by Isaac
The last post was about fattening the bees up on artificial pollen. Well, that time has past.
The bees are doing just fine now on the real thing, thank you.
In fact, they're blowing up.
Ha ha, April Fools. This picture was taken during the splitting process. Sometimes the hives look a little out of sorts.
This is a post about how we relieve the spring congestion problem by splitting the hive.
It's only the first week of April, but the mild winter gave us some huge hives. We have split around 200 already, and day by day, yard by yard we'll be making our way through the next 400 by the middle of the month. Hopefully.
Splitting hives and working alone is the best. I've got my wandering thoughts to myself, and there's no one around to look at me funny when I talk to the bees. By myself, if you include all the steps, I can split a hive in about ten minutes. Working with someone, we average something more like six minutes, but it's not as much fun. I have to act all serious and pretend that this beekeeping is hard work.
Truth be known, it's so fun it's the easiest job I've ever had.
Here's a little step by step. It can happen all at once, or over several trips covering about a week.
When we arrive at the yard, things need cleaned up. Most the the hives are still working through some winter feed, and all the spacers need to be removed and put away.
Once things are more tidy, it's time to smoke the bees down and one by one shake each frame.
What we're doing is finding that elusive queen without actually having to find her. We're simply putting her and all the rest of the bees into the bottom box. It's pretty fast.
The center frames have the brood nest. Great looking brood for early April.
One guy puts some sugar syrup in the bottom feeder and throws a queen excluder on. We're going to isolate that elusive queen to the bottom box.
The other guy scrapes propolis off the lid and the now empty top box. It makes working a hive much easier if it's not all gunked up with proplis. If I'm working alone, well, I cut corners. Not everything gets scraped.
It doesn't take long before the bees come back up to protect and care for the brood. The queen stays in the bottom box.
In theory, you could start grabbing brood as soon as there are enough bees covering the frames. Usually what happens is that we move on the the next yard and come back in a few days.
I've missed some photos showing the removal of the brood and replacement with new foundation. Sorry about that.
But it's a pretty simple recipe- take out three frames of brood and bees. (Ideally capped brood) Add one frame of honey/pollen. Put in replacement frames. (Ideally drawn comb) Right now all we have is foundation. And oh yeah, don't forget to remove the queen excluder. With a little feed and the coming spring nectar flow, the bees draw out new foundation in a heartbeat.
If you want to keep all the older bees, you need to take your split to a new location.
And this time of year you need a queen. By May, if you don't feel like shelling out another 25 bucks, you can skip the new queen step. (But there are a few more details to explore if you're making a new queen.)
Above are fifty young beauties just arrived by next day air.
Within about fifteen minutes the bees have discovered the queens.
It takes about half an hour to install 50 queens. But only if you're all set up and ready, having done the real work days in advance.
The first queens went into strong splits that will soon be going into the apple orchards.
These girls have work to do!
A strong split is basically the entire brood box. Maybe five or six frames of brood.
Most of the splits in the next few weeks consist of three frames of brood going these cute little nuc boxes. It's our first year selling nucs in mass. Both exciting and a little scary.
These girls will have work to do too. I suspect some of that work will involve educating their owners.

Guy stopped his life on earth today at 9:37 am. Pete and I held his hands and told him we loved him and that his family would be ok. His breath slowed and he peacefully went to see his dad and all that the heavenly world has for him. His passing was peaceful and we were honored to share his last moments as we know him.
Our hospice nurse came by right after he died. We washed his body and dressed him in his new Manchester United Jersey, favorite sweat pants and socks, always socks. We covered him with his favorite quilt and his body was at rest. Kate and Matt arrived about an hour later. I met them at the door and we embraced as I shared the news of their dads passing. Both kids spent some time visiting with his body although it creeped them out that his eyes were partially open.
The afternoon was spent making phone calls and arrangements. We are numb. Walking through jello. But I hold in my heart that we did it right. He died in peace, in his own living room, by the fire with U2 playing loudly. He died as he had lived….all out. There was no bullshit and no kidding around.
We have a beautiful dinner brought over by Merrisue but we decided to go out tonight. We will eat her dinner tomorrow. We went to dinner at Mame and made so may toasts to Guy Arbogast followed by after dinner drinks and loud music and dancing in our living room. Guy would approve.
I cant quite see the big picture right now so I will just work on what I can. We are hoping for a service and celebration for him next Saturday although we haven't confirmed the site yet. More on that tomorrow. Love to all….from the broken-hearted Arbogast clan.

Go! A Journey of Surrender and Trust, by Doug Sprague
Early in 2015, Doug Sprague heard the call to "Go!", but he didn't know where, when or what. In this book, Go! A Journey of Surrender and Trust, Doug shares the story of how he discovered he was to serve at Bongolo Hospital in the central African nation of Gabon. Doug doesn't stop there, however, for he relates his life-altering experiences during his two-month stay at Bongolo. Now he is back in the States and his life has been changed forever as he looks for a way to return to Gabon in full-time service as soon as possible.
In a transparent and honest style, Doug shares his fears, doubts, and victories as he surrendered to God's purpose for his life. If you are seeking the will of God for your life, then Go! A Journey of Surrender and Trust will help you understand what God is asking you to do and will give you the courage to actually do it.
Available for $15.00 plus $3 postage.
All proceeds go to Agape Africa Fund (www.AgapeAfricaFund.org), a 501(c)(3) I started to support the work in and around Bongolo Hospital.
*Please consider buying directly from me. This is because Amazon only pays about 75 CENTS per book, more for Kindle. All $15 of the first 50 books sold (then about $9.00 each) by direct purchase goes to Bongolo. That said, any support is great and very needed.

2018 Theme: Design for Good or Evil
The theme for 2018 is "Design for Good or Evil." Design has a huge impact on the usability and usefulness of anything and everything. We know that user-centered design produces usable products and services. Whether or not something is usable has significant potential to make our day better or worse. Sometimes, our lives even depend on it.
2018 is the thirteenth anniversary for World Usability Day.
Over the last 13 years, the Indiana UXPA chapter has been involved with local UX professionals, students, educators, and companies to build a community of UX thought leaders in Indiana. We are celebrating 13 years of taking on (and expanding) opportunities to create a more user-friendly world by showcasing their work, exchanging information, and sharing critical feedback. Attendees of World Usability Day will gain exposure to knowledge and networks that can equip them to become more effective advocates and design thinkers.

DeWitt Kathleen Ekey has said that, since childhood, she has aimed at reaching the LPGA, the top level of women's professional golf.
"Not many people get to do what they have dreamed of their whole life," she said.
Well, thanks to her victory at last week's Alliance Bank Golf Classic at Drumlins Country Club's East Course, Ekey further solidified her place atop the LPGA Futures Tour's money list and all but assured that she will get to go to the LPGA in 2011.
As the only player to break 70 all three rounds at Drumlins East, Ekey, 25, finished at 205, eight under par, three shots ahead of 2009 Alliance Bank Classic champion Jenny Suh. Four players – Lisa Ferrero, Allison Hanna, Stephanie Connelly and Dawn Shockley – shared third place at 209, one behind Suh.
With the $16,000 first prize, Ekey moved her season total to $65,225, with Ferrero in second. Both are certain to be in the top 10 Futures money list that, at season's end, will gain LPGA Tour cards.
In her third year on the Futures Tour after a solid college career at Alabama, Ekey had slowly gained confidence throughout 2011, earning six top 10 finishes in 11 Futures starts and winning the Ladies Titan Tire Challenge in Iowa early in June. She said the experience gained playing under pressure so many times benefited her here.
"It's a big grind," said Ekey. "You have to be patient, which isn't the easiest thing to do."
Friday finish launches Ekey's winning effort
And the pressure was on Ekey right away during a soggy opening round on Friday. More than half an inch of rain hit Drumlins East, but it didn't keep Ferrero from shooting a five-under-par 66 to grab a two-shot lead. That included a pair of eagles, one holed from the fairway on the 1st hole, the other chipped in at 13.

B.L.U.E.S. or Blues on Halsted is an iconic little nightspot in the heart of the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. The intimate size of this place puts you up close and personal for amazing Chicago Blues every night of the week. Not necessarily a pretty site by day, the exterior pops to life when the lights come on at night. Smoke-free now but back in the day it was so smoke-filled I was sure I sacrificed a few days of my life every time I went...sorta gave me the "blues"!

A story for the #courgettecrisis. "What They Sell In The Shops These Days" by Daniil Kharms
Yesterday I was involved in a discussion about the lack of courgettes in the shops, #courgettecrisis. I was urged to shop locally and eat seasonally; i was encouraged to note the advice from a mitchelin starred celebrity chef.
I dont live in a globalised, commodified, consumerist society to shop local and seasonally, I want everything cheap and available now. As for taking vegetable selection advice from a chef who is backed by the big potato lobby…
Anyway, this put me in mind of one of Daniil Kharms stories from "Incidences".
(22) What They Sell in the Shops These Days
Koratygin came to see Tikakeyev but didn't find him in.
At that time Tikakeyev was at the shop buying sugar, meat and cucumbers.
Koratygin hung about by Tikakeyev's door and was just thinking of scribbling a note when he suddenly looked up to see Tikakeyev himself coming, carrying in his arms an oilskin bag.
Koratygin spotted Tikakeyev and shouted: — I've been waiting for you a whole hour!
— That's not true — said Tikakeyev — I've only been out of the house twenty-five minutes.
— Well, I don't know about that — said Koratygin — except that I've already been here a whole hour.
— Don't tell lies — said Tikakeyev — you should be ashamed to lie.
— My dear fellow! — said Koratygin — Be so good as to be a little more particular with your expressions.
— I consider … — began Tikakeyev, but Koratygin interrupted him:
— If you consider . . . — he said, but at this point Tikakeyev interrupted Koratygin and said:
— A fine one you are!
These words put Koratygin into such a frenzy that he pressed a finger against one of his nostrils and through his other nostril blew snot at Tikakeyev.
Then Tikakeyev pulled the biggest cucumber out of his bag and hit Koratygin across the head with it.
Koratygin clutched at his head with his hands, fell down and died.
That's the size of the cucumbers sold in the shops these days!

What is Email Marketing?
Email marketing is directly sending a commercial message, typically to a group of people, using email. In its broadest sense, every email sent to a potential or current customer could be considered email marketing. It usually involves using email to send ads, request business, or solicit sales or donations, and is meant to build loyalty, trust, or brand awareness. Email marketing can be done to either sold lists or a current customer database. Broadly, the term is usually used to refer to sending email messages with the purpose of enhancing the relationship of a merchant with its current or previous customers, to encourage customer loyalty and repeat business, acquiring new customers or convincing current customers to purchase something immediately, and adding advertisements to email messages sent by other companies to their customers.
What is Email Marketing?
By Dan Forootan, President of EZ Publishing
You have heard of email marketing repeatedly on the internet, at conferences and during marketing strategy meetings. They say email marketing enriches business communications, targets specific key markets, and is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. But what exactly is email marketing and how does it work? How is an email more effective than a radio spot or television advertisement and why should a business spend the time to maintain an email list?
Email marketing occurs when a company sends a commercial message to a group of people by use of electronic email. Most commonly through advertisements, requests for business, or sales or donation solicitation, any email communication is considered email marketing if it helps to build customer loyalty, trust in a product or company or brand recognition. Email marketing is an efficient way to stay connected with your clients while also promoting your business.
With email marketing, you can easily and quickly reach target markets without the need for large quantities of print space, television or radio time or high production costs. Thanks to effective email marketing software, you can maintain an email list that has been segmented based on several factors including the length of time addresses have been on the list, customers' likes and dislikes, spending habits and other important criteria. Emails are then created and sent out to specifically target members of your email list, providing them with a personalized email detailing information that they are interested in or have requested. This helps promote trust and loyalty to a company while also increasing sales.
There are several examples of email marketing campaigns, starting with a welcome email that thanks that new contact for opting in to your subscription. Welcome letters can not only give valuable information about your company, they can also request key information about your new client, helping you put the person in the correct categories for future marketing efforts. Additional email campaigns include sending out announcements on products or services, a newsletter regarding your company and/or products, coupons for future purchasing and much more. Every email you send out should have company information on the bottom, giving potential clients a chance to learn more about your company as well as 'opt-in' to get future emails. Incentive programs that give members a 'promo code' to collect discounts on purchases also allow you to monitor the effectiveness of your campaign as well as what your contacts are interested in.
With the help of email marketing software, email marketing is an effective way to not only reach your target markets but also to stay connected with your purchasing base. Through efficient use of email marketing, you can retain current clients while also targeting new markets. You can easily monitor how effective a marketing campaign is, and see that your return on investment is substantially higher than with other, more traditional, marketing campaigns. Let the internet help guide your customers to you again and again with an effective email marketing campaign.

Absolutely not (Im shouting that at high volume!). Americans have embraced and embedded coaching in all of its forms, which they are to be credited for. Without a second thought or justification required, coaching is part of the US culture of personal development, going for gold, gutsy drive and determination made worthwhile by the results delivered.

Sea vegetables are a major part of worldwide food
production, yet only small quantities of sea vegetables are being produced in the United States and most are wild harvested.
The wild harvest of seaweed in Maine is being done responsibly, but over time, the demand for sea vegetables is expected to grow. Therefore, the Maine Seaweed Council, the Maine Aquaculture Association, and others in the seaweed industry strongly support the idea of developing the science for aquaculture sea vegetables.
The wild harvest of seaweed in Maine has been a strong and growing enterprise, but the global market for sea vegetables is growing and the wild harvest will become unsustainable if current practices continue. Maine Fresh Sea Farms has a vision to provide a model for growing sea vegetables in a sustainable way, which can support the natural environment and also protect Maine's working waterfronts and marine-based economy.

The singer became a father for the third time last month when his little girl with trainee doctor Emily MacDonagh was born.
And Peter, who yesterday revealed the baby's name as Amelia, reckons the tot will take after mum rather than dad and grow up a genius.
The star says: "I have a suspicion the baby will want to be a scientist. Emily would never praise herself like this but we sit and watch Embarrassing Bodies or something like that, and she knows what everything is. Her brain just works. So if the baby takes after her, she'll be a genius!"
But if baby Amelia does decide to venture into showbiz, Pete has one vital tip.
"My only advice is if you've got thick skin, go for it," says Peter.
"I haven't got the thickest of skins and before, when the slightest comment was made, I'd be worrying why they said that.
"But if you're the kind of character that can take it, then go for it. It's a great industry."
Peter popped the question to Emily on New Year's Eve and says his relationship with her couldn't be more different to his high- profile marriage to Kate Price.
Asked if the former glamour model has been in touch since Emily gave birth, and he refuses to talk about her.
But he says: "I've always been a public person and I've loved the opportunities and the work I've had, like doing my reality show.
"But now I've met someone who is a lot more private than me.
"Emily doesn't mind when we go to events, but she picks and chooses what we go to.
"It gives me a balance – a chance to move between my working world and complete normality."
Despite the age gap – Peter is 40 while Emily is just 24 – the singer reckons they are evenly matched in maturity.
"People talk about the age difference, but we're actually very similar," he says.
"I'm a young 40 and she's a very mature 24.
"I never thought I'd be 40 and sitting down watching Professor Brian Cox and Stephen Hawking, watching things about alien life and the human body.
"I'm learning so much. I was never that fascinated with stuff like that before but now my mind's opening up." The new addition to the Andre household is sister to Peter's other kids Junior, eight, and six-year-old Princess, and he asked for their input into choosing a name.
He explains: "For the first time ever, I had a Mysterious Girl! Terrible pun, but it had to be done.
"We had four names we loved and thought we would have decided by the time she was born.
"But she arrived three weeks early. We looked at her and she didn't suit any of the names.
"There was Rose, which I loved, Amelia and Alexandra, but she didn't look like any of them.
"I wanted Junior and Princess to get involved, but then I remembered they named our pug Porridge, so I wasn't sure if that was a good idea!
"But Princess came up with a couple of sensible ideas. She loved the name Rose so it was a contender.
"Of course we ended up going back to one of the originals. But there are so many nice traditional British names that I liked."
Despite their engagement, a wedding isn't on the cards any time soon.
Instead Pete wants to wait for Emily to complete her degree, and for their new baby to be old enough to totter down the aisle with them.
"To me, being engaged was really important," he says.
"I couldn't bear just boyfriend and girlfriend. So we're going to leave it a couple of years and then get married.
"I wanted our families to know I wasn't mucking about.
"I loved her anyway but I wanted to cement it so everyone knew."
Peter's latest project is singing the song on new DreamWorks film Mr Peabody & Sherman – which marks a welcome return for him to his first love of music.
He says: "It was a real confidence boost for me as I've not really been in the studio for a while, and I've moved more into presenting.
"But really that's what I love the most.
"And I played the song to my kids and they loved it. That's always a good sign, as they will tell me if they don't like something."
Peter Andre's new song Kid is the UK's official track for the new DreamWorks animation Mr Peabody & Sherman, in cinemas from February 7.

Tri-State Speedway News & Publicity
Bland wins Memorial Weekend Classic
Posted May 29, 2014
Haubstadt, IN - May 25 - Jeff Bland Jr. of Springville, IN, won
Sunday night's Memorial Weekend Classic at Tri-State Speedway. The
race was co-sanctioned with MSCS joining in with the KISS series for
this event. Bland led all 30 laps on a fast track. Traffic
presented by the 20 car field never became a problem for him. But
the race was not over until the final lap. C.J. Leary launched a
challenge between turns three and four for the lead. The slide job
fell short. Robert Ballou saw an opportunity and passed Leary to
take second. Chase Stockon and Brady Short rounded out the top five.
Jeff Bland Jr. captured a second MSCS win in as many nights as the
driver of the Jerry Burton 04 sprint. Earlier he had also presented
the American flag during opening ceremonies by driving the car around
the track in memory of the former driver Josh Burton. Bland was
elated in victory lane. "It feels great! The car took off from the
start. We were lucky in that it worked out for us. I saved it on
the last lap! I feel like Josh Burton was riding along - a real
friend." Runner-up Robert Ballou saluted the winner. Hats off to
Jeff Bland. He had everybody covered!"
KISS points leader Shane Cottle of Kokomo, IN, led the second five to
the finish. Dakota Jackson was seventh. Kyle Cummins restarted
after being involved in an incident in turn one and finished eighth.
Carson Short and Bradley Sterrett rounded out the top ten.
Seth Parker was busy at the wheel. He won the 12 lap B Main to earn
a transfer spot to the feature. Then in competition he moved up 6
spots to become the Keizer Aluminum Wheels Hard Charger for the race.
He also received the Wilwood Tuff Brakes Award in finishing
eleventh. Ten of the twenty starters improved positions, but gaining
even 1, 2 or 3 positions was a difficult task with the level of
competition being exhibited.
The four heat races were won by Chase Stockon, Dakota Jackson, Brady
Short, and Kyle Cummins. Thirty one drivers signed in. Heat race
competition became intense. Kent Schmidt flipped his sprint in turn
four of the second heat. Ethan Fleetwood caught the third turn wall
with a flip in turn three of the third heat. The fourth heat turned
into a four car shootout between the front runners!
MSCS will race next on Friday night June 6th at the Farmer City
Raceway in Illinois. The KISS series will be racing on Saturday, May
31st at the Paragon Speedway.
Levi Kissinger of Mt. Vernon, IN, won the 25 lap UMP open wheel
modified feature. It was Kissinger's second feature win of the
season at Tri-State. He also won one of the four heat races.
Mark Lamont finished second in the feature. Zach Fair, Stephen
Schnapf, and Trent Young rounded out the top five. Lamont, Clayton
Miller and Dustin Beck took the other three heat races. Dave Beck
won the B Main. Thirty-six modifieds competed.
The UMP Modifieds will be the main attraction for the next race at
Tri-State Speedway. The Tri-State Summer Showdown - Summer Modified
Nationals will be presented on Saturday, June 7th. It will pay
$3,000 to win. The program will also include the full bodied PCRA
Late Models!

The day was sunny and warm in Waterloo, Wis., a low-key place where a truck stop operator can commute to work on a 16.5-horsepower Craftsman riding mower.
Its 1997. Paul Andrews is taking a 20-minute spin on a Trek Y-Foil road bike. The bike is black, revealing its unpainted carbon fiber tubing. Attached at three strategic spots are sensors. These sensors, affixed to the bottom bracket, the head tube and the chain stay, are wired to a small "data acquisition unit, a black box attached to the frame.
In effect, Andrews that day was taking an electrocardiogram of the bounces and stresses his route took up and down the hills of this farming country.
The sensors are strain gauges, and the output of that days ride was fed into a database of approximately 5,000 other rides taken by Trek testers in the past dozen years. The goal: to provide enough information on where real rides put torque and pressure on real bikes, in order to design lighter yet better bikes.
Further reading
Andrews, who stands 6 feet 2 and weighs 195 pounds, had no idea at the time that his uneventful ride would ultimately benefit Lance Armstrong, a 5-foot-11, 165-pounder who just happens to be the only American ever to win the worlds most difficult race, the Tour de France, five times.
By the time you read this, Armstrong will be in the midst of trying to become the first cyclist of any nationality to win the Tour six times—and do it in consecutive years.
To that end, Armstrong spends six hours a day or more training on his bike, mostly in Spain and southern France, to be in shape to beat younger riders eager to knock him off his throne. He is his own engine.
Check out eWEEK.coms Database Center at http://database.eweek.com for the latest database news, reviews and analysis.
But the vehicle he rides does matter. Saving the 32-year-old Armstrong as little as 10 watts of energy over the course of a 120-mile stage of the Tour will speed his trip by one minute. Not much? Last year, in his record-tying fifth Tour win, he edged German rival Jan Ullrich by 61 seconds after 2,125 miles of racing.
That was his closest call yet—and a clear notice that he will need every ounce of energy and reduced weight he can muster if he is to stave off such gathering competition as 26-year-old Iban Mayo of Spain and Tyler Hamilton, a much-respected American who finished fourth last year while riding almost the entire race with a broken collarbone.

Civil Litigation & Negotiation
Our Approach to Litigation
Whether you are at the beginning stages of a building dispute or already enmeshed in a court action, we believe that litigation should be approached from a perspective of evaluating and understanding our client's goals.

By developing a dispute resolution or litigation plan that focuses on the client's needs and goals, we can ensure that our clients are not wasting their time and energy on unnecessary processes. As we work to meet our clients' needs regarding dispute resolution or litigation, we strive to do so in a manner that makes their lives easier so they can keep focused on the things that matter.
Types of Litigation We Handle
In terms of business disputes/litigation, we handle the following types of cases:
- Fraud/misrepresentation
- Commercial collections/delinquent accounts

Cool Infographics People on Web Trend Map!
As a visual treat, I took my Twitter list "Cool-Infographics-People" and visualized the entire list on the interactive tool Web Trend Map from iA and Craig Mod. Visit often, and you can see the hot trends being tweeted that day by some of the best infographics people.
I don't know how Twitter lists are doing in general, but I know that with 436 followers, the "Cool-Infographics-People" list is one of the most followed lists in the design community. Out of the 228 lists I've been included on, this one is the most followed, and I see that for many other designers too. I'd love to see (and visualize) the stats from Twitter, but most lists I see have under 10 followers.

May 18, 2010
A few years ago, a teenager named Chris attended a worldview training program run by Summit Ministries. He learned a great deal and had a great time. But by the end of the intensive, two-week program, he was exhausted.
As Chris wrote to John Stonestreet, executive director of Summit, "I had never had to think so hard...before in my life! So I decided I was just going to veg out for the next few days."
When some friends invited Chris to a movie, he thought it would be a good way to relax and recover from all that hard thinking. They went to see the latest version of War of the Worlds.
But the film wasn't the mental vacation Chris expected it to be. As he explained in his letter, "Mr. Stonestreet, I tried to veg out during the movie, but I just couldn't. I am watching it and thinking, 'Wait a minute, that's secular humanism, and wait a minute, that's not true. And, what do they mean by that, and how do they know that's true!'"
Chris then joked, "I just wanted you to know that you ruined my movie!"
After the film ended, Chris and his friends went out for food and talked about the themes in the movie. His friends were astonished at how much Chris had gotten out of the film. As he told Stonestreet, "They kept asking me, 'How did you see that? How do you know all that stuff?' It was a great conversation. And I [learned] I can't just turn this worldview thing off!"
Good! What a wonderful testimony to the power of worldview training. It's the kind of training all young people need to undergo, but so often don't.
That's why you ought to consider sending your older teenager or college student to a Summit Ministries worldview conference this summer. Summit gives high school and college students a two-week crash course in worldview analysis. They'll learn about the major worldviews battling Christianity for the hearts and minds of people—worldviews like secular humanism, Marxism, postmodernism, and Islam.
Students will learn how Christianity differs from these false philosophies. They will also study the big cultural questions—like God's design for marriage, abortion—and how to respond from a biblical worldview. The idea is to teach kids to place these battles in the larger context of the war of worldviews rather than thinking about them on an issue-by-issue basis.
Now if they can't get to Summit this summer, go to ColsonCenter.org and we'll list you some materials that you can get to teach your own kids. They need to be able to know how to walk into a college classroom and know how to defend their faith, no matter what the professor throws at them. They will know how to make the case that only the biblical worldview fits the structure of reality and enables them to live in harmony with that reality.
And if kids don't get this? The statistics tell a chilling story. Up to 80 percent of young adult Christians disengage from their faith after high school.
So come to BreakPoint.org, and we'll show you how you can get more information on Summit Ministries or other materials we have. When these kids study, they will discover, as Chris did, that they just can't turn this worldview thing off.
Chuck Colson's daily BreakPoint commentary airs each weekday on more than one thousand outlets with an estimated listening audience of one million people. BreakPoint provides a Christian perspective on today's news and trends via radio, interactive media, and print.

As a non-profit organization, the complex relies heavily on volunteers to build and maintain our beautiful and growing facility. We are always in need of people with experience in construction trades and volunteer mowers during warm months, but we have endless opportunities for people with a range of backgrounds. Connect with us to find or create your role at the complex, or consider these ways to get involved:

For corporate groups:
There are several times each year the we have special projects going on at the complex that are perfectly suited for volunteer groups of 5 to 20 people for 2 to 4 hours or more. Many hands make project work days and events go much more easily. Contact us if you have a group that may want to volunteer at the complex.
For students:
The Youth Advisory Council (YAC) was formed in 2014 as a leadership development initiative of the complex, meeting monthly and participating in complex events and service projects. YAC leads sustainability efforts by planning its own projects and coordinating events at the complex and throughout the community.
Members can come from any area school districts and do not need to be athletes to make an impact with this group. Students have the option to be highly involved in monthly meetings and project planning or to join us for volunteer opportunities only.
If you know a student that needs volunteer hours or just wants to get involved, download the application by clicking here, or come as a guest to a project work day or monthly meeting.

An overdraft limit is the highest amount of credit or money a person has available for overdrafts on a particular account. For example, a person can usually withdraw or make payments up to the amount of money he has available in his account. If a withdrawal or payment causes him to exceed this amount, this is referred to as an overdraft. When a bank allows a withdrawal or completes a payment for which the person does not have money available, it is extending credit to the account holder and usually places limits on the amount of credit it will extend. An individual may also have a separate account or a credit card to use for overdrafts, in which case he could designate his own overdraft limit.
An overdraft limit may be placed on an account by a financial institution or it may be self-imposed. For example, some banks automatically pay overdrafts for account holders in good standing and place limits on how much, and when, they will pay them. In other cases, however, a person may open an overdraft account with a bank for this purpose. Overdrafts are then taken from this account up to the limit on the account.
Sometimes a person may use one of his other accounts to provide his own overdraft protection. For example, if a person has a checking account, he may use his savings account to provide overdraft protection. In some cases, a person may also use one of his credit cards as overdraft protection on his checking account. In such a case, he may decide the amount of overdraft protection he wants for his account instead of having the financial institution set the limit for him.
When a bank or other financial institution sets an overdraft limit, it may consider some of the same factors it might evaluate when deciding whether or not to extend credit or offer a loan. For example, a financial institution may check an account holder's credit history before extending overdraft credit. If a person has a low credit score, the bank may deny his request for overdraft credit, or it may offer the account holder a low overdraft limit.
Having an overdraft account, credit line, or other protection doesn't always help a person avoid all overdraft fees. If a person exceeds his limit, he may face fees despite the creation of an overdraft account or the granting of overdraft credit. As such, a person with overdraft protection may do well to continue to carefully monitor his account. This way, he can avoid accumulating so many overdrafts that he exceeds the limit.

@literally45-- The overdraft limit depends on the bank's policies. It's not the same for everyone and it may not even be the same at all times for the same customer.
There is absolutely a fee (or fees) associated with courtesy overdraft. Some banks allow a grace period for a certain number of days where they don't impose a fee, but they all do after that point. And the fees may apply every time an overdraft purchase is made, the fees may increase with each purchase and there may be a small fee placed on the account for each day that it remains in overdraft.
So do not be fooled into thinking that overdraft limits and courtesy overdrafts mean
free money or a credit without consequences. The overdraft limit can actually be a bad thing if the individual doesn't even know that he or she can withdraw more money than there is in the bank. And most people don't know what their overdraft limit and fees are either.

How much is the overdraft limit usually? I realize it's not the same for everyone. It depends on their credit rating and history. But what is the average amount for a regular person with an average credit history?
And does courtesy overdraft have a fee or do banks overlook the overdraft because of the customer's good standing with the bank?
Post 1
I didn't even know that there is an overdraft limit but I think that's great. Otherwise, people will continue to spend what they do not have and the fees will pile up. So an overdraft limit protects the consumer.

Tate Forcier Will Start, and 10 Other Things I'm Fairly Certain of for 2010/
By the clock it's gameday eve, and I've just returned from dollar beer nights at Packard Pub, Ann Arbor's newest watering hole. Slightly faded, but still fired up for what I am hoping will be a great weekend. Anyway, I've got some thoughts on the season I thought I'd share with you, in no particular order, and without any grammar checking....
1) Tate Forcier will start Saturday.
For now, this position is about experience. There's a place for Denard and Devin in this offense. Both will certainly play. As the season goes on, depending on our level of success, Denard may start, but Saturday's first series's belong to Tate....until he transfers that is.
2) The defense will be better than last year
That isn't necessarily saying that the defense itself is going to be better, but by virtue of the offense being improved i.e. less 3 and outs, less turnovers, etc., the defense, at least on paper and on the scoreboard, will be better.
3) Michigan will rank in the top 10 in the nation in scoring offense
And they're going to need to.
4) Michigan will beat Michigan State or Ohio State...or both.
Win or lose, I expect us to be competitive in both of these contests.
5) Michigan will start the season 6-0.
Big East bullshit, Brian Kelly's initial offering, FCS, BGSU, @ the Hoosiers, Little Brother
All no problem. See you at homecoming, Hawkeyes.
6) The leading rusher on the team will be Michael Shaw
Anybody else want to relay the "inside information" that Vinny Smith is still limping to me? I think my mom called to tell me about it this afternoon. I mean, everybody still says he's gonna play. He's probably gonna play. I just think the newly eligible Shaw is gonna play better.
7) People are going to sneak booze into those suites.
Rules be damned. If I just dropped a quarter of a million on three years of football games, your gonna have to have a gun....a big gun...to stop me from rolling in with a couple bottles of Belvedere.
8 ) Rich Rodriguez will receive a contract extension after the Wisconsin game, going into Ohio State week.
As I've stated before, they're no going to have him in limbo...that's bad for recruiting. They'll tack a year or two on to his current deal, right before OSU...because timing is everything
9) Michigan will play in the Alamo Bowl
See you in San Antonio.
10) Brock Mealer will walk to the 50 yard line and touch the GO BLUE banner.
And you will choke back tears.
There's a game tomorrow.

My Journey
My love for yoga began when I realized how this beautiful practice made me feel, both on the outside and on the inside. I began a home based practice for myself and then decided a few years later I would start to take part in a public class. Since that time my love for yoga has grown even beyond my own dreams. I decided that I needed to take this journey to another level. I wanted to be able to help others on a journey of their own to experience the wondrous effects of the mind, body and soul that yoga can bring to their own inner self. I became a teacher after going to Vancouver and taking a 200 HR. teacher training led by the beautiful Kristin Campbell along with Janet Corvino. Since then I have taken Children's Yoga workshops, Restorative Yoga workshops. January 2016 I completed 70 hour Yin Yoga Training back in Vancouver, led by the wonderful Ashley Holly. August 2016 achieved my teacher training for Yoga Nidra in Calgary, Alberta from the amazing energy filled Tanis Fishman. In October of 2016 I furthered my training and went to Mauii to complete my advanced 300 HR teacher training led by Nadia Toramin, Karin Kuhn, Jennifer Bonadio. All of who have my greatest respect. Being very blessed to have had so many loving, nurturing and very knowledgable teachers through out my journey. The training I received while in Mauii has left me with even a greater understanding of this amazing practice. The ability to safely lead students to a place of self love, self acceptance and self healing by safely guiding them through each asana using the breath, the mind and the body is an amazing gift that I share very honourably. I bring to my practice the power of the the heart. I teach from life experiences and from the heart of my soul. They call this a practice and that is what I continue to do. I am perfectly imperfect and will continue to grow as I practice, as I teach as I LOVE! I teach beginner classes, multi level classes, children's yoga, YIN Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Seniors yoga , Vinyoga, Mediation and private classes that are tailored to your individual self caring needs. I offer a safe non-judgemental space that each and everyone can feel welcome. A space where the love and the deepest respect for yourself is very important to me.
