Human Touch designs the best massage chairs in the world! I haven't had a need for a professional masseuse since I began using my Human Touch chair. I understand why the majority of physician's offices have these gorgeous chairs in their waiting rooms. The chairs' comfort and relaxation is so great that we even have one in our conference room at the TEE IT UP RADIO NETWORK corporate offices. It's the best!
Thanks Human Touch!

Placement testing is an essential key to student success at Spokane Falls Community College.
All incoming students are required to take the English Directed Self Placement prior to class registration unless:
All incoming students are required to take the MyMath Placement test prior to registering for any math course unless:
Placement testing at SFCC consists of two components: math and English. At the initial appointment, students will
complete the untimed, computer-based COMPASS reading proficiency assessment as well as their first
attempt at our MyMath placement test.
The majority of the tests are untimed. Plan to spend approximately 2 hours.
Valid photo identification is required for placement testing.
You will also be enrolled in a 16-week online MyMath Test program. Students have the option of doing unlimited
practice tests at home and ONE chance to re-test at the Testing Center during the 16-weeks.
If you ONLY need MATH placement testing, this is
not the correct type of appointment.
We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with our online scheduling system.
Students who receive the 'invalid SSN' error or any other error are to call the front desk at (509) 533-3449 to schedule their appointment.
an appointment
(These appointments are NOT for Running Start students. Please select the Running Start tab
for more information.)
If you are unable to attend your scheduled testing appointment, you must CANCEL 24
HOURS PRIOR to your appointment or you may be charged a $30
NON-REFUNDABLE processing fee.
Looking for tips on how to prepare for your assessment test? You may download PDF versions of sample questions.
Initially, Running Start students only take the COMPASS reading assessment. The MyMath Test study program
can be activated at any time, but do take care not to wait too long to begin the math testing process to ensure your high
school graduation plans remain on track!
This document will further explain math
options for Running Start students.
YOU MAY QUALIFY TO BYPASS PLACEMENT TESTING by having
your high school transcript and/or test scores evaluated.
The SFCC Math Department has developed the MyMath program to provide students with an opportunity to study for up
to 16 weeks before taking the exam. By utilizing the study plan and
free tutors, students may be able to test out of some of the
lower-level math courses, saving time and money.
***As of February 2015, all new students will complete the math placement test along with the
English placement test at their initial appointment.
If you are a current or transfer student who would like to activate or reactivate a MyMath Test program, please
follow this link
for more information.
SFCC charges a $30 fee for placement testing.
Please note that there is no free parking on campus. Be prepared with change
for the parking meters or to purchase a $3 day pass at either the kiosk, bookstore or cashiering window in
Building 17.
You may be eligible to bypass placement testing based on your high school GPA and/or test scores.
Follow this link for details.
There is a $15 processing fee for the evaluation of qualifying high school transcripts and/or test scores used for placement at SFCC. All qualifying students will have
the option to decline evaluation and to proceed with traditional placement testing for $30.
Please contact the Testing Center with any questions regarding alternative placement at (509) 533-3401.

Pain Guidelines
Dear Physician:
The New Hampshire Board of Medicine has adopted guidelines for pain management in hopes of fostering the best pain treatment for the citizens of this State. The Board encourages physicians to view effective pain management as a part of quality medical practice for all patients with pain, be it acute or chronic, due to either malignant or benign disease, and particularly when associated with terminal illness. For many physicians, fear of investigation or sanction for dispensing large or prolonged narcotic prescriptions has impeded effective and appropriate treatment. Accordingly, these guidelines have been developed to clarify the Board's position of pain control specifically as related to the use of controlled substances, to alleviate physician uncertainty, and to encourage better pain management. This format was derived from many sources including N.H. Physicians specializing in pain management, the N.H. State Medical Society, and the Federation of State Medical Boards.
Physicians should not fear disciplinary action from the Board or other state regulatory or enforcement agency for prescribing or administering controlled substances for a legitimate medical purpose and in the usual course of professional practice. The Board has concern in those cases where inadequate pain control results from either lack of current knowledge of pain management or inappropriate fear of investigation for providing narcotics where indicated.
The N.H. Board remains obligated under the laws of the State of New Hampshire to protect the public health and safety. The Board recognizes that inappropriate prescribing of controlled substances including opioid analgesics, may lead to drug diversion and abuse by individuals who seek them for other than legitimate medical use. Improper prescribing or documentation will continue to be investigated.
The guidelines are not rigid rules. They serve as a model for physician practice, and to communicate what the Board considers to be within the boundaries of professional practice. While the Board will likely not take disciplinary action against a physician for failing to adhere strictly to the provisions of this protocol, "significant deviation" from the guidelines will likely result in investigation and/or sanction of a physician practice. Key features of the guidelines include accurate documentation, some form of a treatment plan, acceptance of the plan by the patient, and appropriate evaluations and/or consultations. Compliance with all controlled substances laws and regulations is mandatory.
The Board will judge the validity of prescribing based on the physician's treatment of the patient and on available documentation, rather than on the quantity and chronicity of prescribing. The goal is to control the patient's pain for its duration while effectively addressing other aspects of the patient's functioning, including physical, psychological, social and work related factors. This Board hopes to encourage superior pain management by physicians, and clarify appropriate pain relieving practice with the institution of these guidelines.
The New Hampshire Board of Medicine
1. Evaluation of the Patient
An accurate and complete medical history and physical examination must be documented in the medical record. The medical record should document the nature and intensity of the pain and relevant co-existing condition (including current or past substance abuse.) The results of relevant diagnostic studies, other evaluations and consults should be part of the record.
2. Treatment Plan
A treatment plan should state objectives that will be used to determine treatment success, such as pain relief, and/or improved physical or psycho social function. The record should indicate if any further diagnostic evaluations or treatments are planned. Other treatment modalities might include a rehabilitation program, physical therapy or the like, or other treatment plan deemed appropriate for the patient's treatment objectives. After treatment begins, the physician should adjust drug therapy to the individual medical needs of each patient.
3. Informed Consent and Agreement for Treatment
The physician should discuss the risks and benefits of the use of controlled substances with the patient, appropriate significant other, and/or guardian. The patient should receive prescriptions from one physician and one pharmacy when chronic narcotic use is adopted, and should authorize communication between both parties. Frequently, the physician may elect to use a written agreement with the patient, especially where risk of medication abuse is a concern. A written agreement may; (1) indicate a specific pharmacy and prescribing physician; (2) give permission for communication between care providers; (3) detail amount and frequency of medication and prescription refills; (4) define expected follow-up and participation in any other pain treatment activities; (5) provide reasons for which opioid therapy may be discontinued; (6) include an agreement to have urine/serum medication or drug levels/screens when requested ; and (7) document other inclusions appropriate for management of the individual patient.
4. Periodic Review
At reasonable intervals, the physician should review the course of opioid treatment and any new information about the etiology and impact of the pain. Continuation or modification of opioid therapy should depend on the physician's evaluation of progress toward stated treatment objectives. If reasonable treatment goals are not being achieved, despite medication adjustments, the physician should re-evaluate the appropriateness of continued opioid treatment. The physician should monitor patient compliance in medication usage and related treatment plans.
5. Consultation
The physician should refer the patient for additional evaluation and treatment as necessary and reasonable in order to achieve adequate control of pain and any other treatment objectives. Special attention should be given to those pain patients who are at risk for misusing their mediations and those whose living arrangement pose a risk for medication misuse or diversion. The management of pain in patients with a history of substance abuse, or with comorbid psychiatric disorder, requires extra care in structuring, monitoring, and documentation. When indicated and available, consultation with, or referral to, an expert in the management of chronic pain is advised.
6. Medical Records
The physician should keep accurate and complete records to include documentation of; (1) medical history and physical examination; (2) relevant diagnostic, therapeutic and laboratory results; (3) results of evaluation and consultation; (4) treatment objectives; (5) discussion of risks and benefits; (6) treatments and treatment responses; (7) medications (including date, type, dosage, refills, and quantity prescribed); (8) instructions and agreements; and (9) periodic reviews. Records should remain current, be maintained in an accessible manner and be readily available for review.
7. Compliance with Controlled Substances Law and Regulations
To prescribe controlled substances the physician must be licensed in the State of New Hampshire, have a valid controlled substances registration and comply with federal and state regulation for issuing controlled substances prescription. Physicians should refer to federal, state and local regulatory agencies for guidance, by writing the Board of Medicine, 2 Industrial Park Drive, Concord, New Hampshire 03301.

- 2 eggplants, sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices 4 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 pound (80 percent lean) ground beef
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Put the eggplant in a single layer onto 2 (9 by 17-inch) baking sheets. Brush both sides with 3 tablespoons canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until browned and softened, 10 to 15 minutes.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil and the onions and cook until they soften, about 3 minutes. Add the beef, breaking into pieces with a wooden spoon. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and salt and pepper. Stir in the tomatoes and simmer until it is thick and the flavors have combined, 20 to 25 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk, season with salt and pepper, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Bring it to a simmer, and cook until it is thick, about the consistency of pancake batter.
Put a layer of eggplant into a 9 by 9-inch baking dish. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the top. Put another layer of eggplant on top (reserve the remaining eggplant for Online Round 2 Recipe Eggplant Dip). Pour the bechamel sauce over the top and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until browned and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with the parsley before serving.

This week's "Photo of the Week" comes to us from Foreign Service Officer Ben Chang and shows Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Tara Sonenshine as she prepares for her swearing-in ceremony with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. on April 24, 2012.
At her swearing-in ceremony, Under Secretary Sonenshine said, "Policy is about people. Without a deeper understanding of foreign publics, our policies are just flying blind. We can't depend only on conversations with political leaders. We have to connect with people, and let them know we are listening, we care, and we are working to support them.
"We have to be texting, blogging, tweeting, and connecting face-to-face -- to empower young people, women and girls, and minorities, engaging to change the minds of extremists who spread misinformation and hatred online, reaching out to make sure our narrative is as robust as the character of our nation. If we enlist public diplomacy effectively, we can enlist the problem solvers and leaders of tomorrow."
On May 3, Under Secretary Sonenshine will travel to Beijing, China to serve as co-coordinator of the third annual U.S.-China Consultation on People-to-People Exchange (CPE) with Chinese Vice Minister of Education Hao Ping. The CPE aims to promote and strengthen people-to-people ties between the United States and China in the fields of education, culture, science and technology, sports, and women's issues. It provides a high-level annual forum for government and private-sector representatives to discuss cooperation in a broad, strategic manner.
As the new Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, Tara Sonenshine will serve as the Department's senior public diplomacy official, overseeing the bureaus of Educational and Cultural Affairs, Public Affairs, and International Information Programs, and participates in foreign policy development. As Under Secretary, she leads America's public diplomacy outreach, which includes communications with international audiences, cultural programming, academic grants, educational exchanges, international visitor programs, and U.S. Government efforts to confront ideological support for terrorism.

Published in Year of Faith
Keywords: year of faith, Holy Thursday, Fr. James Farfaglia, Eucharist
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - American conductor and violinist Alan Gilbert is currently the music director of the New York Philharmonic. Back in January, he was conducting Mahler's Ninth Symphony when all of a sudden a cell phone went off during the final page of the astonishing composition.Â
A classical music enthusiast sitting in the front-row had forgotten to turn off his cell phone which pealed through the symphony hall during the Philharmonic's magnificent climax.Â
While the mortified spectator tried to turn off the iPhone marimba ringtone, something happened that he could not turn off his phone. The conductor was frustrated to no end.Â
Gilbert stopped the orchestra, turned to the man with the out of control cell phone and said "Are you finished?" The stunned man could not answer the maestro audibly, causing Gilbert to finally say "Fine, we'll wait."
The famous conductor received assurance that the cell phone would not go off again. He then spoke directly to the audience, "I apologize. Usually, when there's a disturbance like this, it is best to ignore it, because addressing it is sometimes worse than the disturbance itself. But this was so egregious that I could not allow it."
According to news reports, the concert hall erupted into applause as the Philharmonic Orchestra continued Mahler's Ninth Symphony without any other interruptions.Â
My dear friends, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the greatest act that takes place on this earth. It is far greater than any symphony.
Even more important than cell phones going off during Mass, let us ask ourselves on this Holy Thursday about our attitudes and dispositions regarding the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the awesome gift of the Eucharist.
Do we miss Mass on Sundays? How do we dress for Mass? Do we pay attention during Mass? Are we late for Mass? How are our genuflections? Do we receive the Eucharist worthily?Â
On this Holy Thursday night let us reflect upon the words of one of the most famous modern converts to the Catholic Faith, Dr. Scott Hahn: "Then one day, I made a 'fatal blunder' - I decided that it was time for me to go to Mass on my own. Finally I resolved to darken the doors of Gesu, Marquette University's parish. Right before noon, I slipped quietly into the basement chapel for daily Mass. I wasn't sure what to expect; maybe I'd be alone with a priest and a couple of old nuns. I took a seat as an observer in the back pew.
All of a sudden lots of ordinary people began coming in off the streets; rank-and-file type folks. They came in, genuflected, knelt and prayed. Their simple but sincere devotion was impressive.
Then a bell rang and a priest walked out toward the altar. I remained seated; I still wasn't sure if it was safe to kneel. As an evangelical Calvinist, I had been taught that the Catholic Mass was the greatest sacrilege that a man could commit - to re-sacrifice Christ - so I wasn't sure what to do.
I watched and listened as the readings, prayers and responses - so steeped in Scripture - made the Bible come alive. I almost wanted to stop the Mass and say, 'Wait. That line is from Isaiah; the song is from the Psalms. Whoa, you've got another prophet in that prayer'. I found numerous elements from the ancient Jewish liturgy that I had studied so intensely.
All of a sudden I realized, this is where the Bible belongs. This was the setting in which this precious family heirloom was meant to be read, proclaimed and expounded. Then we moved into the Liturgy of the Eucharist, where all my covenant conclusions converged.
I wanted to stop everything and shout, 'Hey, can I explain what's happening from Scripture? This is great!' Instead I just sat there, famished with a supernatural hunger for the Bread of Life.
After pronouncing the words of consecration, the priest held up the Host. I felt as if the last drop of doubt had drained from me. With all of my heart, I whispered, 'My Lord and my God. That's really you! And if that's you, then I want full communion with you. I don't want to hold anything back" (Rome Sweet Home, pp. 87-88).
As I wrote in my book Get Serious! A Survival Guide for Serious Catholics, what would happen if you were in a prolonged situation where you did not have the regular availability of a priest? What would happen if even Sunday Mass was no longer accessible?Â
Many of our brothers and sisters throughout the world experience these kinds of terrible situations. One example can be found in the life of Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan.
Francis was a Catholic priest from Vietnam. He became a bishop in 1975 and later was chosen to be a cardinal. Only a few months after he became a bishop, he was arrested by the Vietnamese government and imprisoned for thirteen years.  Nine of those thirteen years were spent in solitary confinement!Â
During the Jubilee Year 2000, Pope John Paul II invited the Cardinal Van Thuan to direct the annual Lenten spiritual exercises for himself and the Roman Curia. The collection of meditations that were delivered make up an amazing book entitled Testimony of Hope.
In one of the meditations, Cardinal Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan movingly describes what it was like not to have the Eucharist readily available and what he had to do to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
"When I was arrested, I had to leave immediately with empty hands. The next day, I was permitted to write to my people in order to ask for the most necessary things: clothes, toothpaste.I wrote, 'Please send me a little wine as medicine for my stomach ache.' The faithful understood right away.
They sent me a small bottle of wine for Mass with a label that read, 'medicine for stomachaches.' They also sent some hosts, which they hid in a flashlight for protection against the humidity. The police asked me, 'You have stomach aches? Yes. Here's some medicine for you.'
I never will be able to express my great joy! Every day, with three drops of wine and a drop of water in the palm of my hand, I would celebrate Mass. This was my altar, and this was my cathedral! It was true medicine for soul and body, 'Medicine of immortality, remedy so as not to die but to have life always in Jesus', as St. Ignatius of Antioch says.
Each time I celebrated the Mass, I had the opportunity to extend my hands and nail myself to the cross with Jesus, to drink with him the bitter chalice. Each day in reciting the words of consecration, I confirmed with all my heart and soul a new pact, and eternal pact between Jesus and me through his blood mixed with mine. Those were the most beautiful Masses of my life!" (p. 131)
Each time we come to the Eucharist, it is Jesus himself who not only shows us how to live our lives, but who also provides us with the divine grace to live out the gospel teachings in our daily existence. Â
This is why we must have a daily Eucharistic life. Each time we have contact with our Eucharistic Lord, we become one with him. We assimilate him into our being. Holy Communion becomes a communion of two persons and thus, transformation takes place.  Only the foolish and the ignorant would stay away from the greatest gift that Jesus has given to us.
I urge you to center your life on the Eucharist. Go to Mass every day. If that is objectively impossible, then make a daily visit to the Blessed Sacrament.

Del Sol accused of promising computers while overcharging for perfume, CDs to Hispanic consumers
Raleigh: A fraudulent telemarketer that convinced Hispanic customers they had won a free computer if they bought overpriced compact discs and fake designer perfume has been ordered to stop, Attorney General Roy Cooper announced today.
"It's wrong to use the lure of a free prize to trick people into giving up their hard-earned money," Cooper said. "These fraud artists took advantage of unsuspecting North Carolina consumers, and we must stop them."
Wake County Superior Court Judge Howard Manning today granted Cooper's request to bar Del Sol, a telemarketing firm based in Covina, California from calling North Carolina consumers. Cooper's lawsuit alleges that Del Sol broke state law by telling consumers that they had to make a purchase in order to collect a prize, by misleading customers about the merchandise they purchased, and by failing to register as a telemarketer in North Carolina. In addition to today's preliminary injunction, Cooper is asking the court to make Del Sol pay refunds to consumers and civil penalties to the state.
According to the lawsuit, Del Sol called hundreds of Hispanic consumers in North Carolina to tell them that they had won a free laptop computer. In order to claim their prize, the scammers said, consumers needed to purchase more than $200 worth of designer perfume, music CD's, and other items. While consumers who placed orders did receive merchandise such as knock-off perfume and some CDs, none of them received a computer as promised.
The original consumer complaint filed with Cooper's office about Del Sol came from Honorario Martinez, a minister who preaches at a Spanish-speaking church in Lee County. Based on this complaint, Cooper's office investigated and discovered that at least 419 Hispanic consumers in North Carolina had been bilked by Del Sol's phony pitch since May of 2004.
According to Mr. Martinez's complaint, the bilingual telemarketer who called him said she needed to speak with him urgently. The telemarketer then told him that he had won a computer but had to purchase two watches, 10 religion-based CDs and 10 bottles of name-brand perfume for a total of $229 before he could receive his prize. When the shipment arrived, it included some CDs, perfume and watches but did not include a computer. Instead, Mr. Martinez got a device that could be used to receive Internet access via television but required the purchase of additional equipment in order to work.
"People who are new to our state need to know that our laws protect them when they do business here," said Cooper. "If you have questions or if you believe you've been the victim of fraud, let my office know about it. We're here to help."
Cooper also encouraged consumers to add their home and cell phone numbers to the Do Not Call Registry to cut down on unwanted telemarketing calls. Consumers can sign up in either English or Spanish online at www.nocallsnc.com or by calling (888) 382-1222 toll-free from the number the wish to register. To date, more than two million North Carolina phone numbers have been placed on the list. Cooper's efforts to enforce state and federal Do Not Call laws have forced 19 companies to stop telemarketing illegally in North Carolina.

your work is absolutely AMAZING!ReplyDelete
Have a great day!
i loved taking your journey through time with your art, i do see the changes you are talking about. yet each piece has it's own interest, charm or depth. The painting you made with the cat is wonderful.ReplyDelete
Love your willingness to keep learning! Your Girl with a Cat portrait is really stunning and beautiful!!ReplyDelete
Happy PPF!!

I can see a consistent style throughout your work even when you approach them in a new way. Does that make sense? Anyway, I really like both your old work AND your new- it all has a great sense of soul to it. And I totally hear you on trying to find your own style- I've been doing that myself for the last year or so, not sure I'll ever get there, but the journey is totally worth it!ReplyDelete
Happy PPF,
Loving your beautiful new painting and all your other ones. You have a wonderful style of painting. Happy PPF, Annette xReplyDelete
LOVE this post - Your talent shines through with all of your work even as it evolves to your "own style".ReplyDelete
I love to see versatility in an artist and am entranced by diverse ways of approaching a subject rather than overwhelming consistency of style. But I think the world expects the "style" to be what an artist always shows. hmm..ReplyDelete
I love your girl with a cat. And all your faces - different shapes and shading but all are beautiful.
Oh my Goodness....this post gave me goosebumps, my gauge for excellence!! Wow...thank you for sharing such intimate process of your development!! Sometimes it's hard to reveal those first stages!! I often wonder how to find my own style..Color is my thing...and I think that's where I start! This was so informative. Even at the beginning I see hints of who you are with snippets of your unique style!!!This has to be my favorite post ever!! I am truly grateful you posted your evolution!!ReplyDelete

The early works are like children, get older but we still see them as children right?. I love that gesture that you print your faces, and I'll tell you that I like both the first and the last. SaludosReplyDelete
Lots of style going on here. It's great that you keep learning, it's something we all need to do. Love your work. All good. Thanks. Happy PPF!ReplyDelete
I think that in a commercial sense it is expected and good to have a consistent style, but in a creative sense one never should stop experimenting. Picasso changed his style many times! Great post!ReplyDelete
Love your painting, and from the 3. painting one can clearly see that they are painted by the same artist.
that is a great posts and I enjoyed seeing the evolution... I can still see your essential you in all of them, but they are evolving in such an interesting way... look forward to the next one...xxReplyDelete
I love getting to see the evolution of an artist's style. Seeing how quickly your work has grown and your style has emerged makes me determined to keep pecking away.ReplyDelete
thank you for this entry. its so good to read that other people strugle the same thing. aldough i finally cam to the conclusion that i like being not consistend. that i like variation and that it is what fits me best.ReplyDelete
with my artworks it might not only be the style - the way i draw - but also the motives i chose.
- AnonymousJune 5, 2012 at 8:07 PM
I really love how your artwork is evolving. From one artist to another the evolution of an artist is just as fun to look at as what an artist finally settles into :)ReplyDelete
Enjoyed your post and the evolution of your art. I have just returned to painting after 30 years of avoiding it because it was attached to some painful things I did not want to remember I am enjoying exploring. It was nice to stuble upon your work on craftgawker. I will add you to the folks I am following.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing.

BENAC: Football brings out the poet in me
We're two weeks into the high school football season, and there have already been some amazing games. There have been a few upsets, major blowouts and plenty of tight games that have kept us on the edge of our seats. Football has a weird way of turning the sports writer poetic, so I decided to try my hand at writing an extended poetic fugue on the area teams.
You may think "What the heck does a sportswriter know about poetry?" but I'll have you know, I took three poetry classes as a graduate student at Northern Michigan University.
In fact, if I had taken one more poetry class, and written a poetry thesis, I would have picked up my Master's in poetry, instead of fiction. And I picked up a solid "B" average in each of my poetry classes.
However, compared to the "A" grades I got in fiction and non-fiction writing classes, those "B" grades might not have been that impressive. But, I won't let that stop me from writing a football poem. Because dang it, if I don't, who will? Certainly not Andersen…and I doubt Uncle Gare is a "poetry" kind of guy.
Without further ado (and without much fanfare) I present to you…my masterpiece.
Untitled by Eric Benac
You can smell it in the air, feel it in your bones and hear it in the cheers: football time is here. Temperatures may be soaring, and golf may still be boring, but on the fields they're roaring: football! football! football!
The Wildcats were growling as they got Escanaba howling, and though the Sault was spoiling, they had their blood aboiling. With Skillman's new spread attack, his team now cracks and attacks with a crisp new style, that shows all the while, that Alpena football may be back. Watch for Jordan Ferguson, the kid knows how to run, with 195 yards in two games, a bullet from a gun.
But Lincoln isn't stinking, no there aren't, no sign they're blinking, with four tough scramblers pulling down hundreds of yards a game. Though their passers may be hounded, Alcona still stays grounded, and overpowers opponents, with raw pure power play. Cody Franklin, Nathan Fettes, Garrette Norling and Josh Mead, all four can run at any point, faster than any steed.
The Hurons keep on shocking, with two big wins they're knocking, on making an impression, in the newly joined North Star League. Quintin Kelly is a passer and Chris Lopez is a gasser, and the defense stalls the offensive, before it can begin. Rogers City may be turning a new leaf under Tim Nagy, using new coaching methods, to avoid taking a knee.
As always there is Hillman, small tiny little Hillman, with a new pass play style that's scored 81 points. Ty Jones just keeps on throwing, 340 yards and growing and Kenny Kolcan's running, with 262 yards he's gunning, to lead the Tigers to the top of the North Star League.
Atlanta's a raw talent team, with Jake Chambers and Seth Teets, they may pick up steam. Although they may be struggling, with no Badgero for running, they're sure to find a style, that can help them pick up wins.
Though Onaway is winless, and haven't been sinless, their offense is a sleeper, waiting to explode. Carlos Bautista is a leaper, Matt Tollini is a keeper, and though two loses may be rough, if Onaway stays tough, Forest Area will implode.
Mio continues to be, one of the teams to beat, after knocking Tawas around in a 34-19 win. Throwing from the pistol, Brad Rhoads throws just like a pistol, and has already picked up 473 yards. Colton McGregor is steady and seems to be ready, to lead his team to glory, a 185-yard story.
They got eight man out in Posen, and Posen isn't posing, in spite of dropping two, against some real tough teams. But Nick Hincka keeps amazing, with power speed he's blazing, 352 yards, a leader for his crew. When Brandon Dietz passes hit, 188 yards to wit, Posen has proven they can swing, with any other eight man team.
But, soon temperatures will be falling, with blizzards so appalling, that we'll have to shut down football for another year or so. And though basketball is thrilling, and hockey very chilling, there's nothing like the gridiron to warm the winter blood.
The End
There, now that wasn't so bad was it? And now that I've gotten that out of my system, I promise you, I'll never write anything like that again. Please note, that all game results and stats in the poem are current as of Friday afternoon. Though I would love to, I cannot predict the future.
As you can see, I left the poem untitled. I honestly couldn't think of anything to call it: it had such a truly epic sweep, that I couldn't think of anything that wasn't either specific to a team, or too general to be a good title.
Now that you've read it, feel free to e-mail me any title suggestions. When I publish my best selling book on sports poetry, I'll include the poem and your title. Please keep the suggestions clean: anything lewd, crude or rude will be ignored.

The PrayerPocket is a small handmade pocket, each one unique, made by hand, using different fabrics ranging from an 1800's opera coat, to silks, velvets, antique linens. Most are adorned with antique or vintage rosary beads - mother of pearl, ebony, garnet, crystal, bone - many from the 1800's and from Europe. Each one is a piece of wearable art. Inside is a small scroll of paper tied w/ a ribbon to write your own prayer, need, hope, or a special word or line of poetry.
Sheryl took up knitting and she and her mother kept busy with needles and yarn in hand to keep their minds off their loss of her daddy. Her basic knit one, purl two evolved into some of the most beautiful designer wraps of alpaca yarns intertwined with hand dyed silk ribbons. Soon she was turning vintage lace and linens into skirts, lavender laced back pack purses and pillows, and prayer pockets dangling from rosary beads. From her heartbreak came a well spring of creativity and sheryl putnam designs was born.
One of my ventures into Mississippi to have dinner with Morgan Freeman in Clarksdale led to me meeting Norbert and Sheryl. The first time I met Sheryl, it was as if we had grown up together. Our precious mothers even share the same birthday. Without a doubt, Sheryl Putnam is one of the most creative, caring, funny, witty and loyal souls the good Lord ever put on this earth, but don't think for a minute that this petite firecracker can't hold her own with the best of them if need be!
She's an artist with fabrics who offers seasonal trunk shows annually. She babies her mother, daughter and grandchildren; knits hot pink designer collarwraps for Sofie, her poodle child; and is as well informed about current events as anyone you'll talk to at the next cocktail party. She likes to wear baseball caps which look adorable on her, surprise those she loves with the most thoughtful and beautifully wrapped gifts, listen to great music and do kind things for others. She favors genuine people over charlatans; spirituality over structure; a cold beer over whiskey; blackberry jam over most anything; sushi over steaks; Greg Iles over Steven King and a few close friends over a houseful. She sees the talent in others such as Marcia, truly appreciates it and encourages them. When she says hey sistah, I know we are stardust sisters who have surely known each other for longer than we can remember. Happy Birthday 2009 and always!

If anyone asks me if I like cold winter weather, I would have to say I fall somewhere in the middle. It is nice to put the garden to rest for several months and hide out in the warm comforts of home planning for next year. Shoveling and frost removal are the least favorite activities during the winter.
Fall and winter on the other end is my favorite time to cook. Stews, soups and dishes that braise away for hours are one of the many welcome aromas that fill the house this time of year. Its nicer when larger gathering of family and friends are there to help you eat the food that was cooked with care.
I have a tendency to always be cold; luckily the home stays quite warm, usually all year round. I guess fate would not have had a better place for me here. As long as I am tucked away in a warm place with a bowl of soup, I am happy.
I hope you will enjoy this satisfying stew as much as I have. It is rather quick to prepare and nice way to retreat from the brisk weather. If you hesitate when you get to the part in the recipe that requires shrimp stock, just read my little note at the bottom.
Langoustine Stew Recipe
1 Tablespoon safflower oil
1/3 cup shallots, minced
1 Tablespoon ginger, minced
1 Tablespoon garlic, minced
1 cup shrimp stock -or- water*
1 ½ cups pumpkin, peeled, seeded & shopped
¾ pound langoustine tails
1 can coconut milk [14 ounces]
½ teaspoon sea salt
Cilantro for garnish
1. Sauté shallots in oil on low until translucent and tender, approximately 3-5 minutes.
2. Add ginger and garlic and continue to cook for 3-5 minutes longer.
3. Add in chopped pumpkin and shrimp stock. Simmer gently until almost tender.
4. Add coconut milk and langoustine tails and finish cooking the pumpkin.
5. Season with sea salt and serve with fresh cilantro leaves.
*note: if you cannot find langoustine tails you can substitute shrimp. Peel the shrimp and place the shells in a cheesecloth bundle and simmer with the pumpkin. This is a quick way to make shrimp stock and you get to have the shrimp with the stew!

I made some Galic Knots over the weekend. I used the NY style pizza dough recipe on the main site. I don't have the Sir Lancelot flour, but I do have the KA bread flour. It has a little more protein than normal flour does. I added some gluten (two tablespoons) to the flour. Melted some butter with some olive oil and after they were done baking, I drizzled the butter mixture over them and blasted them with some garlic salt.They came out pretty good.
Oooo... you didn't take pictures, did you?

Beekeeping became an industry in Florida in the 1870s and reached its peak a century later, cultivating more than 360,000 colonies and ranking first in the nation in honey production, according to the Florida State Beekeepers Association. Although the discovery of two types of mites in the 1980s led to a nationwide decline in beekeeping, roughly 250,000 colonies still exist in Florida, and the state remains in the top five in honey production, the association says.
About 14,000 of those hives belong to Wendy Goldstone and Richard Spinale, a beekeeper of more than 30 years, who together established the Bee Unique store on South Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach. In addition to dozens of specialty honey- and wax-based products, from sauces to candles, they curate six kinds of signature raw honey: clover, wildflower, saw palmetto, cinnamon and Florida's world-known orange blossom and tupelo honeys. All-natural, unprocessed and collected straight from the hive, raw honey is said to contain a number of health benefits, including antioxidants and antibiotic properties. Bee Unique's honey is harvested by bees that migrate to South Dakota and throughout the state, including West Palm Beach, Vero Beach, Indiantown and Okeechobee. (561-379-4404, beeuniquehoney.com)

I'm A Freemason And I'm OK
This post has nothing to do with MMORPGs unless of course you believe that Freemasons control the development of MMOs (which we do) along with everything else in the world. As you're reading this, I'll probably be seated in some dusty old lodge in Glasgow watching my dad be re-initiated as Grandmaster, a prestigious honour to say the least.
I can't say much about the Freemasons (I was sworn to secrecy on pain of death… although the severity of which wavers depending on how drunk I am and how good looking you are) other than that I was initiated when I was 21, in accordance with English 'law', into my mother lodge in London. I achieved the full rank of Master Mason of the 3rd degree two years later and I've been slowly climbing up the ranks ever since.
Although my lips are sealed and my hands at my side unless pressed to prove myself as per tradition, I will make three statements about something that occurred during my first initiation ritual: two of these statements are false, one is true and it's up to you to guess which.
During my first initiation ritual, I:
- Fought a wild boar to the death, naked (and won obviously).
- Whilst blindfolded and disorientated, was asked if my trousers would fall down if my belt was removed (it was removed).
- My arse was paddled thrice by different men in time to me kissing a silver compass.
Any guesses?

Flute World
America's #1 flute specialty house since 1983.
Mr. Powell made his first conservatory flute in 1928, called the Commercial model. Today's Conservatory models combine the aesthetics of the traditional Handmade Custom model with Powell's Posi-Stop™ tail design, and are offered with a hand cut Custom Powell headjoint. The Conservatory Model is a handmade, professional quality flute. Sterling silver is used for both body and keys, and springs are 10K white gold. Tone holes are extruded to the renowned, Modern Powell Scale. Each sterling silver Conservatory instrument possesses the special sonority, scale, and color for which all Powell flutes are known.
Headjoint Cuts:Philharmonic - Philharmonic headjoint is readily identified by its broader embouchure plate, which makes it the most resistant of the styles offered by Powell. Articulation is crisp and clean, and this style is capable of broad dynamic and timbral ranges. A player can create a rich tone with extraordinary carrying power and focus.Soloist - The Soloist headjoint is the newest addition to the headjoint styles offered by Powell. This new style was developed in collaboration with renowned flutist, Ransom Wilson. The Soloist headjoint features strength and flexibility. It offers a strong sound which allows the player to fill a hall, as well as complete command for performing the quietest of passages. The embouchure plate, which is similar to the Boston style, provides the player with quick, responsive articulation while a new style of undercutting gives the headjoint its strong, full color.Venti - The name "Venti" encapsulates the concept of a headjoint that allows air to pass freely through the instrument and beyond, giving the performer variations of flexibility, dynamics, power and sound.The result is a headjoint that allows for depth of sound through all three octaves, even pitch and dynamic range, as well as a sound that is powerful without being wild or breaking up.

Minni v Dubai Dave
Round of applause
OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! An ironman!!!!!!!!!!! He's going to be sick of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Well done Minni. Look forward to hearing all about your training.
The official thread had gone very quiet...
Crickey don't look to closely at this thread then KK. I love to drop in at the sub 3.15 pad because they give loads of good advice but I don't think I'll ever get anywhere near that time.
Congrats Minni. You might not get a free pair of trainners, but I have a feeling that this is going to be a much more positive and less pressured experience than that 'other' lot of S6ers!
Just to recap, which marafun are you running again and what's your current pb?
Now Now whats going on?
Minnni First off I'm not a Iron Man yet, though I'm working on that. I have though run a few of these marathon things and indeed have run sub 3-30, though there were many times not so long ago when I considered that impossible. So lets start by saying of course you can do it ,as after all its just a abstract number does it really matter if its 3-31 or 3-29? To the general public no it doesn't to a runner you bet your arse it does BUT at the end of the day it is a mental barrier more than a physical one.
So what marathon are you running? Whats your current PB and what schedule if any are you planning on following?
Apologies in advance for what I know will be rather random postings over the next week or so as I'm currently travelling around the UK visiting relatives and most of them being rather elderly have not embraced the internet!
Right now its a pretty good time to kick back and enjoy the good things in life so don't put that wine glass down just yet!

Laurier women named among Canadas Most Powerful Women for 2013

Dec 12/13
Three women with ties to Laurier were honoured on the 2013 list of Canadas Most Powerful Women. Alumna Leanne Hall, honorary degree recipient Heather Reisman and Board of Governors member Sue Reibel were among 100 women recognized for their leadership and contributions.
The awards, initiated by the Women's Executive Network, recognize women who are "proven achievers and strong contributors to their organization, their fields of endeavour and their communities."
Laurier recipients are listed below:
- Leanne Hall (BA '95 psychology), Glencore Trailblazers & Trendsetters Award
As vice-president of human resources at Noront Resources Ltd, Hall is at the forefront of a new approach to mining in Canada. Through close partnerships with Aboriginal communities and investment in social initiatives, Hall demonstrates leadership in this diverse and high-tech industry.
- Heather Reisman (honorary degree 2009), CIBC Entrepreneurs Award
In 1996, Reisman founded Indigo Books & Music Inc. and built it into Canadas largest book retailer. Today, as CEO at Indigo, Reisman has established herself as a top entrepreneur. She and her husband Gerald Schwartz are also leading philanthropists in Canada, supporting numerous causes from health care to education.
- Sue Reibel (Laurier Board of Governors member), Scotiabank Corporate Executives Award
In her role as senior vice-president for business development, group benefits and retirement solutions at Manulife Financial, Reibel has taken Manulife's group retirement business to the No. 1 sales position in Canada. She is also a leader on retirement savings policy in Canada. Reibel sits on Lauriers Board of Governors and Investment Oversight Committee and also chairs the university's pension committee.
Hall, Reisman and Reibel exemplify the qualities of leadership, purpose and commitment to their communities that are at the core of Lauriers identity. These women are inspiring role models for Laurier students.

Topic: Quick ER model help.
Hey there!
I'm new to the RoR community and been tinkering with RoR for a while now. I've decided to write a simple app that allows users to "build a phone" by selecting certain "parts" from a form on my app. The user selects a combination of parts(limited to 5) and the app totals it up and proceeds to payment while notifying admins.
I know it sounds simple but I'm having a few problems with modelling the entire thing. Each "part" has a "part_type" attribute and each field in the form allows you to select a certain part_type. I'm also having problems actually populating dropdown menus straight from a database.
I'd like to know the best(and fastest of course) way to go about doing this. I'm well versed with HTML/CSS/JS/SQL if that's a plus.
Again, thanks a lot!

Course Description:
NYCLA is pleased to welcome
many of the key players involved in seeking marriage equality and overturning
DOMA for this panel discussion that you will not want to miss.
Doris Ling-Cohan, Supreme Court, NY County, who made national headlines
when she handed down the decision in Hernandez
v. Robles, ruling that the State of New York violated same sex
couples' constitutional rights by
denying them marriage equality. Although
Judge Ling-Cohan was reversed on appeal, her position was endorsed when Governor Cuomo signed marriage equality
into law in 2011. Judge Ling-Cohan will providehistorical perspective of where
we were and how far we have come.
Jeffrey S. Trachtman, Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP, co-counsel with Lambda Legal Defense and
Education Fund in Hernandez v. Robles,
a suit seeking recognition of marriage rights for same-sex couples. Mr.
Trachtman will provide his insights on the significance of the Hernandez case and its aftermath.
Roberta A. Kaplan, Paul,
Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, who, as lead counsel, successfully argued on behalf of Edith Windsor
in United States v. Windsor, the
Supreme Court case that may be the most significant civil rights decisions of
our time, where the Court ruled that a key provision of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) violated the U.S.
Constitution by barring legally married same-sex couples from enjoying the
wide-ranging benefits of marriage conferred under federal law. Ms. Kaplan will
discuss the Windsor case and its
implications for the future.
Richard Bettan, Boies,
Schiller & Flexner LLP, part of a trial team that persuaded the federal
district court for the Northern District of California to invalidate
Proposition 8 (California's state constitutional amendment banning marriage
equality for same-sex couples) as unconstitutional under the United States
Constitution. An appeal of this decision
was dismissed by the Supreme Court. Mr. Bettan will discuss the issues in the
Proposition 8 case, and its implications for the future.
Professor Gloria Brown-Marshall, John
Jay College of Criminal Justice, Director of the Law and Policy Group,
author of Race, Law and American Society
and legal correspondent covering the U.S. SupremeCourt. ProfessorBrowne-Marshall will
discuss the relevance of the recent Supreme Court
cases with regard to other civil rights
cases decided by the Supreme Court.
Hon. Barbara S. Jones, Zuckerman Spaeder LLP, who wrote the initial district court opinion
in Windsor holding DOMA
unconstitutional, will moderate.
Richard Bettan, Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP, part of

In the heart of summer, when it seems like the last swell rolled through ages ago, we could use a little pick-me-up before South Florida's short winter surf season. Cyrus Sutton's film Compassing, a collaboration between Reef's Just Passing Through project and Korduroy TV, will do just that. The 23-minute surf film follows Sutton, director and photographer of Korduroy.TV—a platform for independent, DIY surfers—as he travels down the California coast, Mexico bound, in a converted electrician's van.

2007 in Review
I posted this over on another board the other day, but got to thinking this post pretty well sums up why I fish. There are a lot of photos below. Some have been posted before, some not.
In addition to keeping in touch with my son and a way to spend quality father/son time with him, I've also found I walk much closer with God when I'm out somewhere fishing. The two times I feel closest to Him are when I'm fishing and when I am playing one of my guitars.
So, here is the year in photo review and a discussion about what fishing means to me.
With the 2007 fishing year starting to draw to a close, and reading some of the other posts with reflections on this year, I thougth I'd post the year review in photos.
This is the first summer my son and I have been fly fishing. He's 12 and I started fly fishing with him as something we could learn together and hopefully be able to spend some quiet time together. It worked. No, he does not have the fishing passion I do, yet, but he does love to fish and it's one of the activities where we can get beyond the "fahter / son" thing and just be fishing partners. We can talk about things on a man-to-man basis and sometimes just fish and not say anything at all. All summer, we only had one outing where things went badly and that was my fault not his. I forgot he's a kid and got frustrated with him for being a kid and not really being serious about fishing that one day. What a mistake and I promised him I'd never do that again and have kept my promise.
Before my son was born, I fished a lot and over the past 12 years have gotten away from it. This year, I remembered why I love to fish. I have also learned fishing is a great way to have a conversation with God. Something about the quiet time on the water enables me to talk with Him and not "to" Him. On the water, I can listen to what He's saying.
So, 2007 in review:
The first fish my boy caught on a fly rod. Your average creek chub. This was early March:
A whopper I caught. Just for the record, my son must have freakishly large fingers. And, for perspective, that dry fly is about the size of a coke can. (lol)
A very pretty warpaint shinner we caughe in the Smokey Mountains. If those fish grew to 10 or 12" I would fish for nothing else.
Brookville Tailwaters - our local trout stream
My son casting at Brookville
The day I forgot my wading boots (check out the shoes on that guy)
My boy being a kid looking at some butterflies on a rock. Fishing with him has helped me to see the world through the eyes of a child and when we look at our surroundings like a child does, the world is still a place filled with untold wonders. There are treasures around every bend and, you know, butterflies are really beautiful and taking the time to sit on a rock just to watch them is something we all need to do more often. Youth is wasted on the young! Guys and gals, let's keep on fishing and never grow up.
One of the last fishing days of the season.
Well, that's a sampling of the fishing this year. We've had a great time. Daniel (my son) and I are already planning a fishing trip in 2008 out to Yellowstone and several long weekends in the Smokeys, and a number of weekday evening jaunts to a couple local smallmouth streams.
So many miles of water, so many fish, and so little free time to enjoy it all. There truly is a treasure around every bend and the water you're standing in today will never be in that same place again. Life and the world is a wonder!
Thanks for letting me share this with you all.
I think I can speak for a lot of folks and say, "Thank you".
Charlie B
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.
It aint over until...well, until its over
I wanna say thanks for that. Even though I am only 17, I seem to get very sentimental about fishing w/ family and friends and special days on the water (all days are special really..) But I do want to remind everyone that even though it seems like the end of the year is right upon us, remember it aint over yet! Seems like, last year, some of my best days fishing were this month and early December. But im not one to count things like taht....
And another thing, Jeff, thanks for introducing your son to this "addiction" we all call flyfishing. Im afraid that there just arent enough younger people holding fly rods.
As far as growing up...well, I think Im expected to that in the next year. I start college next fall and every morning I wake up and say "Justin, are we gonna grow up today? Nah! Theres always tomorrow.." And, tomorrow comes, but here I am still fighting it.
I'm pushin' 58 myself and still fighting it.
Great post! Growing up doesn't mean you have to get boring! ( Although I have some inlaws that think it's the only thing that makes you a "grown up". ppppfffttt. )
I'm 37 and I know the release dates of every near-future PS3 games by heart. I love watching cartoons, watching skateboarding events on TV, and racing those little cars around the go-kart tracks - and I don't drink coffee! Blah!
"Orange drink - orange juice, what's the difference?" as the kid in that commercial used to say!
You can grow up, without growing up - and you can love every minute of it. You just have to not give a rip about what other people think of you and your love of video games, skateboards or Foster's Home. LOL
