A plan to build a fire and emergency services station in the eastern portion of the city has the support of city leaders.
City council members said Tuesday they tentatively backed a plan to sell the city-owned Collamer parking lot at 500 Broadway for $775,000 and buy a 14-acre parcel on Route 9P located east of the Northway for $200,000. The city would then construct a fire/EMS station on the Route 9P site to provide emergency coverage for residents of its eastern ridge.
Public Safety Commissioner Chris Mathiesen postponed a city council vote to authorize the land deals Tuesday so council members could closely review the contracts and work out a few outstanding details. Each council member said they would likely vote for the land deals when they come up again, probably at the council's Aug. 5 meeting.
"I have no problem with the 9P contract," Mayor Joanne Yepsen. The contract for the downtown lot needed clarification, she said.
Mathiesen has said a new fire and EMS station located east of the Northway would significantly reduce the 7- to 10-minute response time to residents in the area. The Algonquin Building LLC of Monsey, Rockland County, offered the appraised price – $775,000 – for the approximately 42-space city-owned parking lot on Broadway. As part of the deal, the LLC would build a mixed-use, commercial building on the lot, and Congregation & Yeshiva Pardes Yosef D'Chasidei Belz, also of Monsey, would sell the city a 14.5-acre parcel on the north side of Route 9P near Gilbert Road for its appraised value of $200,000.
Mathiesen has said the plan would require "minimal" staffing additions. The city now staffs two fire trucks in stations on Lake and West avenues with four firefighters each. Mathiesen has stated he would consider changing crews to three firefighters on three engines each if a third station is built. The council would have to approve any expenditures to build a facility or hire additional firefighters. Also, the state Attorney General must approve the Route 9P land deal because the owner is a religious organization.

I think (but I haven't checked with a recent build, and I'm not 100% sure) that multiple dictionaries for the same language are supported and are merged (i.e., if you enable both an "old spelling" and a "new spelling" dictionary, words of either dictionary will be accepted). As for switching between dictionaries, the easiest way I see is installing separate extensions: there is no suitable user interface yet, unfortunately. There's always the hack of defining two separate locales and assigning one to the "old spelling" and one to the "new spelling" to change them in real time like American English and British English, but forcing this configuration would break interoperability.

It wouldn't be Halloween if we didn't have at least one mummy themed bento! There's last year's mummy-licious bento, made while we were still living in the hotel waiting on our house. And from two years ago, we had mummy pizza, which is very easy to make, as long as you use strips of cheese!
This year, we went with a simple mummy sandwich, and I learned that it's getting to dark in the mornings to get good pictures. Time to break out the lightbox my brother and SIL got me for my birthday. :)
Both kids had the same lunch--a turkey sandwich on honey wheat, topped with strips of white cheddar to make the mummy's wraps, along with two sugar eyes. To go with that, they had carrots, grapes, and a mini cupcake that is part of the group I made for Ben's class for their Halloween party. Lunch, as it often is, is packed in our Easy Lunchboxes (also available on Amazon).

A passing and recurring thought about lucid dreaming: if your experience is like mine, lucid dreaming arises seemingly spontaneously at some point in your life, then it subsides for a long time – for me, it subsided for many years. Then perhaps you have an experience or engage in a mind practice that touches the connection between awareness and subconscious, and it arises again for a time. Then it subsides again. It seems binary – on or off. Mostly off.
For me at present, it's currently off.
At least mostly.
Mostly? Yeah. I'm beginning to question the binary nature of it.
Recently, I've been getting up early more or less consistently to meditate – earlier than I have done for a long time. I still haven't mastered the getting-to-bed-on-time part to make this an easy process. The net result is that at least part of the time I'm meditating, I experience sleepiness.
And that, itself, is kind of interesting. I find that even when my mind is sleepy, my awareness is just pure, undiluted awareness. Not sleepy, or anything else, so far as I can tell. Just awareness. Though I don't stay steadily in the witnessing awareness in my meditations, my mind (me?) does stumble into the state more frequently than I/it used to do. Often on my mat. Sometimes in daily life.
What I've come to realize is this: that "witness" state? It's always present. Always. It's not only present whenever I'm awake and alert – it's present when I'm drowsy and sleepy. It's present in the dreaming mind the instant before I awaken in the morning, and it's present the consciousness the instant after I awaken in the morning.
But most times, my mind is not, itself, aware of the awareness.
In this morning's meditation, my mind switched back-and-forth between normal thoughts/ sensations and awareness. And as it switched, it occurred to me exactly how much that the shift from thoughts to awareness is like waking up, like seeing clearly the background that has always been there, is always there.
And in that moment, I realized that the experience of lucidity while dreaming isn't any different than the experience of lucidity while "awake."
Both conditions are pretty rare. Both seem to occur more frequently when I practice mindfulness and resting in the witnessing awareness. Both feel more than a little like a kind of curious freedom.

Q: Congratulations! You're the United States Air Force, and it's December 22, 1997. In accordance with the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty you've just destroyed the last Minuteman II nuclear missile silo in the world. What are you going to do next?
A: We're going to find some something to do with 450 disassembled Minuteman missiles we've suddenly got lying around!
Okay, you caught me. This isn't a transcript of an actual exchange between some over-eager newscaster and some unnamed U. S. Air Force officer, but it is representative of the thought process in the USAF during the period of disarmament that followed the end of the Cold War. The Minuteman II missile, first delivered to the Air Force in 1966, was built to last - the missile's solid fuel has an effectively indefinite shelf life - and it occurred to some members of the defense community that, with a few modifications, the Minuteman II could be turned into an entirely serviceable and relatively affordable satellite launch platform. The project was considered by Air Force officials and deemed worthy of further study. This project to adapt the Minuteman II to serve as a satellite launch system was styled the Orbital/Suborbital Program (OSP).
Minotaur The winner of the OSP contract was Orbital Sciences Corporation, a Virginia-based company with experience in both orbital and sub-orbital rocketry, most notably their Pegasus launch vehicle. The Air Force's decision to award Orbital the OSP contract was based in no small part on the very high success rate of the Pegasus vehicle, a slightly modified version of which formed the third and fourth stages of the proposed Minotaur launcher.
According to the Air Force, the Minotaur is capable of placing a 750-pound payload into a 400-nautical mile, sun-synchronous orbit; this is roughly 1.5 times the payload of the Pegasus launcher to a similar orbit. The Minotaur is used exclusively to loft payloads destined for Low Earth Orbit. Minotaur launches can be accommodated at the following locations: Vandenberg Air Force Base, California; Kodiak Island, Alaska; Wallops Island, Virginia; and Cape Canaveral, Florida. The Minuteman II Minotaur launchers come in two flavors: Minotaur I, incorporating a standard 50-inch payload fairing adapted from the Pegasus; and Minotaur II, which uses a 61-inch fairing for larger payloads.
The Minotaur achieved first flight in January of 2000. This was first use of a remaindered Minuteman ICBM for space launch purposes; this mission placed several small government and university satellites into orbit. The Minotaur currently (4/13/05) has a success rating of 100%.
Minotaur IV Based on the success of the Minuteman II-derived Minotaur satellite launch system, Orbital Sciences was tapped by the Air Force to adapt the soon-to-be retired Peacekeeper missile for the same purpose. The Minotaur IV is currently in research and development. It is expected to incorporate a 92 inch fairing and loft payloads of up to 1750 kilograms (3850 pounds) into orbit. Its inaugural payload is scheduled to be the Air Force's Space-Based Space Surveillance system; this payload is scheduled to launch in 2007.

Testing is the Best...ing
Marinated kale salad with avocado, chopped red pepper, avocado, red onion, red pepper flakes, salt, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar, topped with white beans.
And tonight's dessert, again brought to you by the upcoming Urban Vegan cookbook: Sesame Seed Cookies!
These were amazing, seriously. They were a little messy to make but who cares! They remind me a little bit of lace cookies in their delicacy and crispness, but bring a ton of sesame flavor and a good crunch. Greg gives it his serious seal of approval, forbidding me to bring them in to work to share with our coworkers!
9 comments:
YUM...that salad looks awesome. I had a salad for supper last night, but yours puts mine to shame! I need to try one with kale!
The cookies look great also! Guess what was passed out at work today....Girl Scout cookies. OMG, the thin mint cookies are taunting me. I need your thin mint cookie recipe...lolMichelle and Veggie Burgher - the marinade was olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and a little agave. Yup, the creaminess you see is just mashed avocado.
Thanks, Shen - who'da thunk a bunch of vegans would go so crazy over a salad?
Michelle - now that you passed your first kale fears, you DO have to try this! PS the thin mints recipe is in Vegan Cookie Connoisseur by Kelly Peloza, I can't take credit for it - but I'll email you the recipe if you want!
Aimee, I think you should still make them :)
Rose, yeah, it's very much like those sesame brittle things (If we're thinking of the same thing). I didn't used to like them, but I guess my tastes have matured. Thank goodness!

William Morris in Applique - Book ReviewIve always had a penchant for William Morris designs. In fact, many years ago, I found a picture of a linen tea towel in a womens magazine, with an all over pattern attributed to William Morris. Ive had this piece of paper pinned to my cork board for far longer than I can remember, with the intention of making a quilt with this pattern as inspiration. Well, that was the idea. But Ive always felt that the patterns of William Morris were too BIG, too COMPLICATED, too VAST and too OVERWHELMING to be able to put into a quilt. Its a good thing Ive procrastinated on this, because in the mean time Australian quilter Michele Hill has taken all the ouch and angst out of the process and has presented the world with a William Morris inspired quilt book that will become a must have in the private library of all quilters the world over. The book is titled William Morris in Appliqué and as far as I can tell is unique in its form and content in its subject matter William Morris designs. What Michele has done is to take the essence of the patterns of William Morris and created the most wonderful appliqué designs, reflecting the magnificence and wonderment of the Arts and Crafts Movement of the early 20th century, and the incredible balance of the William Morris design. Country Bumpkin have given Michele her head when designing this publication. No effort has been spared to present to the quilter, both newly acquainted with the genre of appliqué, and those that have a been needle turning for ever, the most beautifully detailed set of instructions for re-creating these absolutely mind-blowing quilts. Michele spends the first part of her book detailing the life and times of William Morris and his very strong connection to Australia especially the state of South Australia. Michele explains her journey of discovery in William Morris design and how she was able to use inspiration from these designs in her own versions. There are six beautiful creations depicting the most glorious adaptations of William Morris patterns, and each set of instructions have the most gorgeous photographs and diagrams. It is a joy to just flip through page after page. Every one of the patterns that Michele presents are achievable because of the detailed instructions and the considerable insets that show magnified detail. The pattern sheets that accompany this publication have been designed by a quilter of this Im sure. The patterns have been set out clearly and are easy to find and follow. Finally, at the end of the book, Michele takes the time to list the Bibliography, together with and a great list of collections and places to visit and most helpfully, a list of websites all to do with the William Morris phenomenon. I can thoroughly recommend this book to all quilters, no matter where you are in your quilting journey you will eventually want to make something from this delightful publication. I've linked both Michele Hills website and her blog for your interest. See below. Michelle Hill Website Michelle Hill Blog Country Bumpkin Website

Last week the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit concluded, in Dilts v. Penske Logistics, LLC,1 that the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act of 19942 (FAAAA) does not preempt the application of California's meal and rest break laws to motor carriers because these state laws are not sufficiently "related to" prices, routes, or services. The decision is contrary to the decisions of approximately a dozen district court cases holding that such laws were preempted. Moreover, if the Ninth Circuit's decision goes unchallenged, trucking companies that have operations in California will be required to comply with California's meal and rest break laws instead of the Department of Transportation regulations.
Background of the FAAAA
Congress passed the FAAAA for the purpose of preempting state trucking regulations following the deregulation of the trucking industry. The FAAAA preempts state laws or regulations or any other provision having the force and effect of law "related to a price, route, or service any motor carrier."3 The purpose of the preemption clause in the FAAAA, similar to the Airline Deregulation Act (ADA), was to prevent states from enacting, either directly or indirectly, "a patchwork of state service-determining laws, rules, and regulations," so as to "leave such decisions, where federally unregulated, to the competitive marketplace."4 Expressly excluded from preemption is the ability of a state's motor vehicle "safety regulatory authority" to impose various motor vehicle safety regulations, such as highway route controls or limitations based on the size and weight of the motor vehicle or the hazardous nature of the cargo, in addition to, inter alia, a state's ability to set minimum amounts of financial responsibility relating to insurance requirements.5
Nevertheless, these express exclusions from FAAAA preemption still leave the scope of the term "related to" extremely broad and, as noted by Justice Scalia in a concurrence concerning the same term used in ERISA, "everything is related to everything else."6 The Supreme Court has held that the term "related to" means "having a connection with, or reference to," prices, routes and services, regardless of whether that connection is direct or indirect, and that preemption "occurs at least where state laws have a 'significant impact' related to Congress' deregulatory and pre-emption related objectives."7 Conversely, the FAAAA does not preempt state laws that affect prices, routes and services only in a "tenuous, remote, or peripheral ... manner, such as state laws forbidding gambling."8 Although the Supreme Court has never said where, or how, "it would be appropriate to draw the line" in borderline situations,9 the Ninth Circuit has held that when a law does not refer directly to rates, routes, or services, "the proper inquiry is whether the provision, directly or indirectly, binds the carrier to a particular price, route or service and thereby interferes with the competitive market forces within the industry."10
Factual and Procedural Background of Dilts
The plaintiffs represent a certified class of almost 350 delivery drivers and installers of appliances in a class action against Penske, a motor carrier. The plaintiffs worked exclusively within California and alleged that the motor carrier routinely violated California's meal and rest break laws. As delivery drivers and installers, they typically worked in pairs with one driver and one installer in each truck. Because California's meal and rest break laws were not expressly targeted at the motor carrier industry, the district court used the Ninth Circuit's "borderline" formulation in determining that these laws would be preempted only if they would "bind" the motor carrier to particular prices, routes, or services and thereby "interfere with competitive market forces within the ... industry."11
The motor carrier argued that California's meal and rest break laws necessarily would force its drivers to alter their routes daily in search of an appropriate place to exit the highway and to locate stopping places that safely and lawfully accommodate their vehicles. The district court found that, "while the laws do not strictly bind [the motor carrier's] drivers to one particular route," they would not be able to take routes that did not offer adequate places to stop, and therefore "the laws bind motor carriers to a smaller set of possible routes."12 Likewise, the district court held that "by virtue of simple mathematics," forcing the drivers to take a number of breaks within specified time windows would "reduce the amount and level of service [the motor carrier could] offer its customers without increasing its workforce and investment in equipment," which would also have a significant impact on prices.13 Finally, the district court found that "to allow California to insist exactly when and for exactly how long carriers provide breaks for their employees" would allow other states to do the same, thus creating the forbidden "patchwork of state service-determining laws."14
The plaintiffs appealed. Nevertheless, following the district court's published decision, numerous district courts followed the Dilts' analysis and likewise held that California's meal and rest breaks were preempted either by the FAAAA for motor carriers or the ADA for air carriers.15 Building on that analysis, two district courts held that California's minimum wage laws, as applied to piece-rate compensation, were preempted,16 and a Virginia district court used the same analysis to hold that the Massachusetts Independent Contractor Law, which effectively prohibits motor carriers from using independent contractors as drivers, was preempted.17
The U.S. Supreme Court's Decision in Northwest, Inc. v. Ginsberg
Oral argument on the Dilts appeal took place on March 3, 2014. One month later (but three months before the Ninth Circuit issued its decision in Dilts), the U.S. Supreme Court decided Northwest, Inc. v. Ginsberg, reversing a Ninth Circuit decision on the proper test for preemption, also applicable in Dilts18 The case concerned a common-law claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing made by the plaintiff because he was terminated from a frequent flyer program. The Supreme Court referred to the Ninth Circuit's holding as being based on "pre-Wolens Circuit precedent" that such a claim is "too tenuously connected to airline regulation to trigger preemption under the ADA" because it "does not interfere with the [ADA's] deregulatory mandate" and does not "force the Airlines to adopt or change their prices, routes or services – the prerequisite for ... preemption."19 Instead, the Supreme Court held that what is important is "the effect of a state law, regulation, or provision, not its form, and the ADA's deregulatory aim can be undermined just as surely by a state common-law rule as it can be by a state statute or regulation."20 Nevertheless, the Ninth Circuit chose to ignore the Northwest holding in deciding the Dilts case.
The Ninth Circuit's Decision in Dilts
On July 9, 2014, the Ninth Circuit reversed the district court's ruling in Dilts. In discussing how a court should "draw a line" between laws that are significantly related to prices, routes and services, and those that are only tenuously related, the Ninth Circuit concluded that the type of law that can be preempted is one in which "the existence of a price, route or service [is] essential to the law's operation." Otherwise, in "borderline cases" concerning laws of general application, the proper inquiry is "whether the provision, directly or indirectly, binds the carrier to a particular price, route or service and thereby interferes with the competitive market forces within the industry."21 As such, "generally applicable background regulations that are several steps removed from prices, routes, or services, such as prevailing wage laws or safety regulations, are not preempted, even if employers must factor those provisions into their decisions about the prices that they set, the routes that they use, or the services that they provide." In this respect, the Ninth Circuit noted that many of the laws the FAAAA expressly excludes from preemption, such as transportation safety and insurance regulations, "are likely to increase a motor carrier's operating costs" far more than compliance with California's meal and rest break laws.22 The holding in Northwest notwithstanding, the Ninth Circuit concluded that if the law is of general application, it can only be preempted if it "binds" the carrier with respect to prices, routes and services.
Holding that broad laws cannot be preempted simply because they "shift[] incentives and make[] it more costly for motor carriers to choose some routes or services relative to others," the Ninth Circuit easily concluded that California's meal and rest break laws are not preempted by the FAAAA because "[t]hey do not set prices, mandate or prohibit certain routes, or tell motor carriers what services they may or may not provide, either directly or indirectly."23 Furthermore, such laws do not create an impermissible "patchwork" of state-specific laws that would defeat Congress' deregulatory objectives because, again, citing to its own Circuit precedent, such laws are more analogous to state wage laws, "which may differ from the law adopted in neighboring states but nevertheless is permissible."24
The Ninth Circuit then addressed each of the motor carrier's arguments, often noting that those laws which are expressly excluded from preemption by the FAAAA would cost a motor carrier more than compliance with California's break laws. For instance, the Ninth Circuit held that, contrary to the motor carrier's argument, California's break laws do not actually require a cessation of service, or a change in service, or the frequency of a service; instead, the laws simply require individual employees to be given breaks and, to the extent that this impacts services, then the motor carrier can hire more employees. "They simply must take drivers' break times into account – just as they must take into account speed limits or weight restrictions, ... which are not preempted by the FAAAA." Likewise, the court held that forcing drivers to pull over to take breaks was not the sort of route control that Congress sought to preempt and, in any event, the motor carrier did not present any evidence that such minor deviations limited its drivers to a small set of possible routes. "Indeed, Congress has made clear that even more onerous route restrictions, such as weight limits on particular roads, are not 'related to' routes and therefore are not preempted." Nor did the court find that such laws do not interfere with the FAAAA's deregulatory objectives insofar as "all motor carriers in California are subject to the same laws" and thus "equally subject to the relevant market forces."25
Significance for Employers
There is much in the Ninth Circuit Dilts decision that arguably conflicts with the Supreme Court's decision in Northwest. Not only did the Supreme Court in Northwest find that the Ninth Circuit was wrong in the "must-bind" test for preemption, but it clearly stated that it is the law's effect on prices, rates and services, that determines preemption – not the form of the law. Regardless, it is of course unclear whether the motor carrier in this case will be able to obtain a rehearing en banc or, failing that, whether it will successfully petition the Supreme Court for review. However, if the Ninth Circuit's decision stands, motor carriers operating in California will be subject to California's meal and break laws. As a result, all motor carriers transporting property within the state of California should examine their meal and rest break policies and practices to assess the impact of this case on their operations.

I am using the following code on my static home page outside of my wordpress installation. This is working great, I have it set to grab the 3 most current posts (from all categories) from my blog. However, I wonder if anyone can help me figure out how to have it only grab the 1 most current post in each of 3 select categories – still resulting in 3 excerpts but only the most recent from each of 3 select categories.
< ?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
< ?php the_excerpt(); ?>
" class="text1″>Read more…
< ?php endwhile; ?>
The url is: http://www.krowchukdressage.com
Cheers! Chris
Hi Chris,
I don't have a quick answer for you. Here's some info that may help you figure it out:
The code you supplied is the WordPress Loop that spits out the content of your posts. The Posts that you display is actually requested earlier.
You should be able to add an if statement inside the loop like this:
You'll have to customize it to look for a variable that is only set if that category has already been filled up… make sense?
You could probably do three separate "Loops" that only spit out one post, and make sure that post is from a certain category.
I hope that points you in the right direction. Ashton

Some days are tough, some days are tougher, and then there are some days when your liver seems to have a massive vendetta against you, today was one of those days. I went out last night, and have to remember that:
1) I have a job and it's not sleeping (unfortch how fucking cool would that be) and it requires me to be upright and and at my desk at 8:30 am
2) I am not 22 anymore in fact just two weeks ago I celebrated the 7th anniversary of my 21st birthday (for those of you who own an abacus you can now sort out how old I am, shock...horror!)
3)As rough as today was I would have never wanted to miss Blair slow dancing with Carol to "Like a Rock" circa 1am (Carol you dirty stay-out!) , those moments just don't happen twice
Either way, every time my liver kicked me in the face today I just looked at this picture and felt better just by absorbing it's sheer absurdity. Sexiest man? You're confused People Magazine that's a German Shepherd(or an Alsatian for all you fancy folks) granted said pooch can pilot a jet ski (points) but he also hangs out with Enrique Iglesias (negative points), I suppose we'll let it slide just for the fact that this made me laugh so many times I forgot how much pain I was in.

So, real money hasn't been attached to the auction house yet. Thank god.
Right now, it looks mostly swarmed by goddamn lunatics charging $45k for a shitty rare that you'll out-level in an hour or two. I have picked up a few reasonable pieces here and there that have helped me along. Thanks to the overblown pricing on 85% of the other items in the auction house, I've managed to eke out a respectable business getting rid of some rare items I just don't have a use for anymore. The biggest frustration I have right now is the mandatory 2-day timeline for any auction. Since my fiancee and I did a pretty crazy marathon over the weekend, by the time I'd won the auction, I'd already found four or five better pieces of gear. Obviously now that I'm back to a normal routine that won't happen as frequently, but the lack of a buyout price on a lot of auctions is a little crazy.
Still, given the ludicrous prices, I'm curious to see what the real-money auction house will do to the game's economy.
Has anyone taken a peek? Found any awesome deals? Found pricing strategies that work pretty well? Only focusing on items with a reasonable buyout? Spent a staggering amount of gold already on a drunken flight of whimsy?

Simion distils potent booze in the back hills of Ceylon, rustles cattle, and gambles freely. Despite his criminal ways, he is a man of inflexible principles, and rather than bribing his local police chief to leave him alone he thinks it rather fitting when he is arrested for his crimes and spends twenty years in prison. He's the sort of man who, after his beloved wife leaves him because he has given her one beating too many, never looks at another woman. When this patriarch of crime gets out of prison...more

The 2012 PokerStars.net Asia Pacific Poker Tour Cebu is on to Day 2 after the final starting day completed on Friday. The field on Friday was 119-players strong, bringing the grand total to 246 for this year's event, besting last year's field of 236.
Topping Day 1c was Sang Yong Lee. He bagged up 106,400 in chips but will still behind Day 1b's Antonio Martins for the overall chip lead. Martins finished with 119,000 on Thursday. Not far behind Lee at the end of Day 1c were Wei Zhong Kua with 99,500 and Kenneth Leong with 90,000.
Some players who started the day but won't be returning to the felt tomorrow include Gordon Huntly, Oliver Speidel, Steve Yea, Oliver Speidel, Heath Herring, Terrence Chan and Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang.
Chan went out near the end of the day when his pocket tens ran into pocket jacks for most of his chips. From there, he got the rest of his stack in with pocket nines against two opponents, one holding pocket tens and the other holding pocket jacks. The jacks won the pot to bust Chan.
Another few players who will return on Day 2 are Sangeeth Mohan (37,500), David Steicke (37,400) and Vincent Rubianes (17,000) fresh off his runner-up finish at the recent APPT Seoul.
Day 1c Top 10 Chip Counts

The Board of Directors is elected by AMTA members and is responsible for effectively managing AMTA's resources to ensure the delivery of high-quality member benefits. The board also evaluates current trends and develops plans to advance AMTA and the massage therapy profession.
Glenath Moyle Portland, OregonI am passionate about so many of the issues impacting our profession which is why I am set to lead AMTA in the presidential role this year. If I can inspire and help our members to learn more, do more and become more in both visionary and practical ways, then I will consider my leadership skills well utilized. AMTA embraces the evolution of our professional members as well as our profession as a whole. We collectively envision the future we want and I am honored to be at the core of this dynamic experience.
PRESIDENT-ELECT Cynthia Ribeiro
Laguna Hills, CaliforniaI came to the United States from Brazil where I had attained a degree in physical education and studied surgical nursing. In the U.S., I graduated from two massage schools and made neuromuscular therapy and orthopedic massage my specialties. I have taught advanced anatomy and injury rehabilitation since 1988. In addition, I lead advanced neuromuscular therapy workshops and frequently present at massage therapy conventions. As founder and owner of Western Institute of Neuromuscular Therapy, I developed highly effective therapeutic work. I bring that material to National Holistic Institute. As your president-elect, I am honored and touched to serve the larger community of the massage therapy profession.
Kathleen A. Miller-ReadShoreline, WashingtonFor nearly three decades, I have practiced massage in a diverse group of settings, including spas, ski resorts, physicians' offices and my own clinic. I'm currently employed as a health care provider. I have volunteered for AMTA since 1985 because I believe in our mission: to advance the art, science and practice of massage therapy, and I believe in our vision for portability. I have truly enjoyed working with the dynamic members that I have met while serving AMTA and I look forward to continuing that journey as immediate past president.
Winona BontragerLancaster, Pennsylvania
I have been a massage therapist since 1986. I owned a full-time private practice until 1991 when I switched directions and opened the Lancaster School of Massage. Although I'm in the classroom on a regular basis, I still maintain a private practice within the school clinic. I have a great passion for the students and for massage schools. I volunteered with the former AMTA Council of Schools for eight years, serving as its president for four years. I am currently undertaking my second year as vice president on the national board and have thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience as well as the opportunity to serve the AMTA members—the most passionate people I have ever met!
Nancy M. Porambo Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania
I have been in private practice for 20 years, specializing in neuromuscular therapy and effective treatments for chronic pain. I completed graduate studies in 2002 and teach courses in massage schools, as well as college-level psychology courses. I have volunteered with the Pennsylvania Chapter since 1992 and have served as president. I have been an advocate for licensure in the state of Pennsylvania, which passed in 2008. I've been fortunate to enjoy a successful career, and, in return, I want to help AMTA move forward on a path marked by professionalism, advocacy and public service.
Jeff Smoot
Elk City, Oklahoma
I first joined AMTA as a student in 1991. I served as the AMTA-Oklahoma Chapter president 2001–2006, and I am starting my fourth year as a member of the National Board of Directors. My business, the Myofascial Pain Clinic, provides integrative medicine for the communities of Western Oklahoma. I offer massage therapy based on the research of Janet Travell MD and employ six massage therapists, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and a doctor of chiropractic. Volunteering for AMTA provides me with the opportunity to give back to the profession that has enriched my life.
MEMBERS-AT-LARGEKathie Lea
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
I've practiced massage since 1986 as a contractor, sole practitioner, instructor, school owner and day spa owner. I've had the honor of volunteering with AMTA since 1988, first at the chapter level in many positions including president, then as a national Communications Committee member and chair. I am returning to the board for a fourth term. I know that under President Moyle's leadership and with the great group that has been elected, we will step confidently forward into AMTA's vision for the future.
Rachel MannWilmington, North CarolinaI have been in private practice since 1994 specializing in pain management using modalities ranging from Trager to deep tissue to Rossiter. I joined AMTA as a student and have volunteered for my chapter since 1999, serving in many roles, including president as well as several national committees and workgroups. I am now in the 2nd year of my member-at-large term and serve as the board representative to the Massage Therapy Foundation. I am excited about the future of AMTA and the opportunities awaiting our profession.
Maureen MoonBoulder, ColoradoI have been practicing massage therapy since 1981 in the ski town of Boulder, Colorado. I practiced at an athletic club from 1986–2007. I am now a contract practitioner which I truly enjoy. I am also currently a spinal reflex analysis instructor and hot/cold stone massage instructor. My philosophical and personal goals with my clients are to facilitate their ability to obtain optimal health, well-being and relaxation by decreasing pain, reducing stress and increasing body awareness. I have served in various capacities with the AMTA-Colorado Chapter and at the AMTA national level since 1987.
Stockbridge, GeorgiaI joined AMTA as a student member in 1998. After graduating from massage therapy school, I felt prepared to go into private practice. In 2000, I became a chapter leader in Georgia where I served in several positions, including chapter president from 2006- 2010. I have also served at the national level. Because of my passion for the student members, I became a massage therapy instructor at Georgia Career Institute in 2008. Now, I also have the joy of helping to shape the future of students in the massage therapy field.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAMTA has been a big part of my life since I began massage school in 1996. I joined as a student and have been an active volunteer ever since. I worked with our chapter to help achieve licensure in North Caroline in 1998 and have served on the chapter board from 2000-2010 in various roles, including the last four years as chapter president. In addition, I have served on some national workgroups and also received several national recognitions. I have had my own massage practice and have also worked in conjunction with a physical therapy office since 1997. I am honored to be on the national board and look forward to working with my colleagues to help AMTA reach new heights.
"As a professional member of AMTA, I have found comfort in knowing that all the effort I put into obtaining my massage certification is recognized and protected. AMTA standards validate the profession."
—Kim K., AMTA member since 2003

It's no secret that we're huge vans of avocados at Greatist HQ. From double-chocolate cookies, to smoothies, to creamy pasta — in our minds, avocado goes great with just about anything.
Luckily, it looks like that Green Goddess obsession may indicate good things about our diets overall: A new study ties eating avocados with better diet quality, consumption of less added sugar, and lower body weight, BMI, and waist circumference. Plus, the results showed that subjects who consumed avocados had higher HDL ("good") cholesterol levels and lower metabolic syndrome (a collection of traits and behaviors that increase risk of developing heart problems, stroke, and type-2 diabetes).
What's the Deal?
The study looked at data collected by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) — run by the CDC — between 2001 and 2008. Each of the 17,567 U.S. adult subjects (ages 19 and older) reported everything they ate for one 24-hour period. The 347 adults (half male, half female) who consumed any avocado (average consumption was about half of a medium-sized fruit) during that time had significantly healthier diets and more positive health indicators, such as BMI, waist circumference, and body weight, than those who did not consume the creamy green fruit. On average, the avocado lovers weighed 7.5 pounds less than the other subjects.
The avocado-eating group also consumed significantly more vegetables and fruit, as well as higher levels of vitamins and nutrients — 36 percent more fiber, 23 percent more vitamin E, 13 percent more magnesium, 16 percent more potassium, and 48 percent more vitamin K — than their avocado-less friends Avocado consumption is associated with better diet quality and nutrient intake, and lower metabolic syndrome risk in US adults: results form the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001-2008. Fulgoni, V.L. 3rd, Dreher, M., Davenport, A.J. Nutrition Impact, LLC., Battle Creek, MI. Nutrition Journal, 2013 Jan 2;12(1):1.. They also ate more fats (including 18 percent more monounsaturated and 12 percent more polyunsaturated "good" fats), even though both groups consumed, on average, the same amount of calories.
Is It Legit?
Probably. First of all, it's important to note that the study was supported by the Hass Avocado Board, so there is some possibility for bias, though the study methods themselves seem to be pretty legit.
The overall sample size was fairly large, and steps were taken to minimize mistakes in dietary reporting. But there are still some weak points here. Even though the researchers used a method of collecting dietary data that helps minimize memory lapses or biases (the method they used probes the respondents for frequently forgotten foods, is conducted 1-on-1 versus electronically, and offers a good level of specificity), that's not to say the study wasn't without its methodological challenges. Since some research suggests that people have a tendency to overestimate diet quality, there's a chance the diets reported were slightly healthier than those actually consumed Accuracy of weighted dietary records in studies of diet and health. Livingstone, M.B., Prentice, A.M., Strain, J.J., et al. British Medical Journal, 1990 March 17; 300(6726): 708-712. Comparison of self-reported and measured metabolizable energy intake with total energy expenditure in overweight teens. Singh, R., Martin, B., Hickey, Y., et al. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2009 June; 89(6):1744-1750. .
And while the evidence clearly indicates that avocado consumption is tied to healthier diets, that doesn't mean that eating avocados will make you healthier — just that it seems people who tend to consume avocados are more likely to have a healthier diet and lifestyle overall.
When it comes to avocados, get ready for more research to come: there are several clinical studies in the works to look further into the tie between avocado consumption and risk factors for heart disease, their potential to help with weight management and diabetes, and whether they promote better nutrient absorption (though these studies will also be funded by the Hass Avocado Board, so take that into consideration when they deliver the news).

Thread: The SimCity Thread
I suggest reading the linked article. More specifically, a quote from his own resignation letter
My decision to leave EA is really all about my accountability for the shortcomings in our financial results this year. It currently looks like we will come in at the low end of, or slightly below, the financial guidance we issued to the Street, and we have fallen short of the internal operating plan we set one year ago. And for that, I am 100 percent accountable.
But I know what narrative you are shooting for (and will likely still shoehorn in :p) and Sim City 5 has absolutely nothing to do with it. Read up: It actually sold fairly well. No, if anything, this is the fault of the Medal of Honor flops and Dead Space 3. And while I don't know the guy or many details, the fact that he favored Mirror's Edge makes him an "okay" guy in my book and makes me tend to lean more toward Patrick Swayze's thoughts on the subject.Steam: Gundato

That was actually the origin of the setback law I mentioned in an earlier post: So that the street gets direct, natural sunlight for a certain percentage of the day. The law was actually determined by the width of the street, the angle of the grid to the sun and the angle of the sun at four equidistant times of the year.
Believe me when I saw we thought of this shit a while ago. :P
Plus, you also get neat effects like Manhattanhenge:
Pfft, screw reading, let's make it up!
I find it hilarious that people can be so skeptical to the point of paranoid over articles reporting on positive aspects of SimCity or really anything else, and yet can draw silly conclusions to fit their own biased world view when something like this comes along. It just goes to show that the "bias" in reporting is part publisher and part reader.Nalano's Law - As an online gaming discussion regarding restrictions grows longer, the probability of a post likening the topic to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea approaches one.
Soldant's Law - A person will happily suspend their moral values if they can express moral outrage by doing so.

Look he quit because of the merger of uplay and origin. Ubisoft to buy out EA in the next month, you heard it here first folks!!
One of Rigatoni's smart moves was selling the 15% stake in Ubisoft they owned back in 2010. Their price never reached that high point again.

In case you all missed it, this was Nalano's elbow hitting my ribs. :D
Yes, star architects suck, doing pointless BS just for the sake of circus like extravaganza. Tourist traps. Gucci. Bat mobiles instead of WV Golf or Veyrons.
What Nalano forgets is that mayors and city councils require and pay (from the city budget, of course) for those pointless show-offs (yes, with the help of intermediaries, the urban planners who designate the locations, yes). They are the Gucci and Luis Vuittons of city built space. No one contradicts that but the crowds of turists herding to see them, as if they meant anything more than "a building slightly different, gratuitously". :)
That's why I was talking all along about density to kick-start it. Critical mass density. 10-15k. :)
John Ravioli is jobless today because EA failed.
Can you say that? Really? I dare you to say "EA failed" :)Last edited by tadada; 19-03-2013 at 10:51 AM.
We all know the real reason he's left, and it ain't SimCity.
Remember that Star Wars MMO? Galaxy of the Old Rebellion Kingdom or whatever?
I have trouble believing that 'investment' paid off.
That doesn't fit in with Tadada's ongoing argument of hating EA and accusing Gundato of being some kind of EA shill though.

Oh that. Sorry to interrupt. Carry on.
Does the horrible failure that was The Old Republic count as this fiscal year (I already forgot when it came out)? Because yeah, that was a pretty hard blow as well.
And I am inclined to agree with a lot of the big names coming out who are calling the media (especially kotaku) a bunch of asshole vultures for the way they are mocking him.
Like it or not, Riccitiello apparently WAS a gamer and tried his best to balance gameplay with profits. I think we can all agree he didn't do a good enough job, but at least the guy was trying. And EA DID seem to emphasize a lot of the titles/franchises gamers liked, which is at least something (rather than just focusing on the guaranteed moneymakers like the sports games). And he left EA a better place than when he received it, he just didn't do a good enough job and got screwed by a year where gamers finally said "We want something new".Steam: Gundato

EA and the like spend fortunes on advertising. The least we can do (if we don't like them) is counter with our own pathetic little campaign. I don't want to communicate anything sensible about all of this, I want to pile on! Although we are small and weak let's try to out PR EA!
I don't give a shit what happened, the EA CEO stepped down not only because I didn't buy SimCity, but also because I shouted so loudly at him.

That would have been the last fiscal year, it came out end of December 2011. Their fiscal year ends in March 31. So it would be nearly 2 fiscal years ago now. Also at the time he said
We are proud to report a strong quarter and a fiscal year highlighted with $1.2 billion of digital revenue," said Chief Executive Officer
John Riccitiello. "In the coming year, we break away from the pack, with a very different profile than the traditional game companies and capabilities that none of our new digital competitors can match.
So no it wasn't that big a blow I don't think. also they have this
"Record numbers of players have engaged in the online features and content downloads for FIFA 13, Madden NFL 13, and Battlefield," said EA President
Frank Gibeau. "On the strength of our digital extensions, FIFA and Battlefield are the two biggest revenue events in our company's history. Both are well on their way to becoming billion dollar annual franchises."
Billion dollar franchises! With online features and content downloads, very much multiplayer social games. Yes you can play Fifa on your own, but there is a large online social element available too.
They look to be coming in this year at about the same, if not lower revenue, which is much lower than EA is used to before the slump in 2008. The newer games have exploded like they hoped it seems, and he is stepping down, maybe he is out of ideas. They may have killed Medal of Honour: The Cashcow with the newer games aswell don't forget.Last edited by Kiril; 19-03-2013 at 02:48 PM.
TOR is a failure in EA's eyes, they'll just spin it as well as they can, particularly when they're trying to please investors. They wanted it to be a subscription based MMO like WoW and rake them in all the money. Instead they at most got a million (maybe two?) players, most of who never set up subscriptions beyond their first free month and it went free2play. I remember reading how it was the fastest MMO ever to go from subs to free.
MoH was a bomb, DS3 hasn't worked out like they wanted and has put DS on hold. Dantes Inferno, bomb. Skate didn't work out like they'd hoped (which is a shame because that was a great series). WAR is the same story as TOR except they held out on going f2p a bit longer.
EA has three cash cows
-The Sims
-Battlefield (which doesn't do as well as they want either)"Halo is designed to make the player think "I look like that, I am macho sitting in my undies with my xbox""
Steam ID
Hmm, TOR might have to do with them not meeting projections then. It probably sold well enough at launch, but the crap attachment rate definitely would have hurt.
Especially because their "F2P with Subscriptions" approach took far too long to launch and just went to show that the F2P gameplay is too hindered.
And Guild Wars 2 launching couldn't have helped since ArenaNet basically (once again) showed everyone that an F2P MMO can be as good as, if not better than, WoW and still turn a good profit on microtransactions that most of the users aren't annoyed by. And, you know, they did an actual MMO this time around instead of a Diablo game with a graphical chat room :p
And I would list Bioware as a cash cow. Even if DA2 kind of was "meh" and people bitched about the ending of ME3, the games still sold amazingly well and have a high attach rate on DLC.Steam: Gundato

Oh it was a failure alright, but not a huge blow to knock EA off stride. Their revenue went up $400 million that year. Its just recently there have been too many meh games I think. While solid, its not growth and thats what investors want, they want to be worth more money each year. He is the man in charge and he took the fall for it. I think the media are jumping on him, because reddit* doesn't like him and the media have a lot of ground to make up with reddit* after mountain-dew-gate
*Replace reddit with whichever community of shouty people you want
Bioware stuff has sold well because of a large amount of trust and goodwill built up over years.
That's a difficult, and extremely time-consuming asset to acquire. It's also a difficult asset to quantify, which is why you can see them spending it wantonly.
Same goes, to a lesser extent possibly, for Crytek and Maxis.
DICE still has a good reputation, I think. Miraculously, they've escaped the annualized ghetto thus far (but only just barely, I think).
DICE are still doing annualized games. They just generally do a game, then a DLC (or four), then another game. But they still release a game's worth of content (and moneys) every year.

Revenue going up $400M means nothing if they spent $420M on advertising (made up figure to point out that revenue doesn't mean profit).
Bioware could probably been seen as a cash cow, but I see Dragon Age 3 doing very well and the series might get put up on the top shelf along with Dead Space 3 and Mirrors Edge 2. If they keep pumping out Mass Effect games, they'll do alright. I know everyone thinks that after the ME3 ending nobody is going to buy another game from them because some shouty angry people said so on the internet, but it will. You might as well claim Star Wars 7 is going to flop because of the prequels. It just wont."Halo is designed to make the player think "I look like that, I am macho sitting in my undies with my xbox""

Today's project comes from the book Seasons & Reasons to Celebrate.
I collect nativities and thought the one in this book was adorable. Then the idea to take Jesus in the manger and make a Christmas pin popped into my head!
I took the pattern sheet and reduced the image to 60%. Then it was just a matter of gathering some scraps and fusible web for all the pieces. I highly recommend the Appliqué Pressing Sheet for layering the appliqué pieces. Once I had them all put together I gently peeled them off the pressing sheet as one piece and built my sandwich: a fabric scrap for backing, then fusible fleece, and topped off with the nativity appliqué. I again used the appliqué pressing sheet to protect my iron as I bonded my sandwich together. Next I (carefully) cut around the shape and did blanket stitching by hand using #12 perle cotton. Sew on a pin back and you're done. I also thought these would be cute tree ornaments.
Have fun coming up with other ideas.

This product is no longer for sale, it has been replaced by DC LIVE/Forensics 8.
DC LIVE/Forensics was released in 2000 and and filled an important gap that was missing from the Audio Forensics world at that time. Previously, all Forensics solutions were based on expensive hardware that was difficult to use, hard to repair and even harder to upgrade. For the first time, Forensics customers were able to analyze, enhance and improve difficult recordings using only a PC with a sound card. Today, though you can still purchase tres expensive solutions, there is little that cannot be matched by the power of DC LIVE/Forensics. There is also a very popular 3 day training class associated with this product that allows members of the law enforcement community, private citizens and other Forensics professionals access to thorough information on not only the product itself but full details relating to preserving, securing, and testifying to Audio Forensics methods.

Welcome to the James & Tim Blog!
James & Tim, Catalina Island. (08/01/03)
Why a blog? The answer (for me, anyway) is convenience. Due to my family's formidable reproductive skills, keeping the swelling tidal wave of relatives up to date on our activities has become increasingly challenging. Besides, my other approach (i.e. the terse Christmas card once a year and the occasional e-mail) hasn't been very effective.
For Tim — whose family consists of two parents, two grandmas, one sister, one nephew, three aunts and only two first cousins (which I find mind-boggling) — it's a little easier. But why not just come along for the ride?
So now that we established all that … what follows is the latest on what we've been up to.

Ok. We all know James is an editor and a very good writer. I'm, not so much. I write like I talk. So, James will most likely be doing all the posting here. But I will stick my nose in once in a while and hopefully say something impressive. Hope you enjoy this, look forward to your comments. :)

Wow, pretty impressive. A new roommate and a spiffy car all in one newsletter. Hey one question, though: I keep hearing this noise in the background, sort of like a drumroll. Is that intentional? If so, might I suggest you turn off that feature - a bit annoying. Otherwise, kudos!
- Dad said...
Good job on the Blog James! We're looking forward to go visit sometime late this year.
Cogratulations on your new car, and household member,
I guess you really appreciated your "Birgitta" after driving my "blue Tempo" jajaja
Love, Dad - 1:17 PM
- Jon LeSage said...
Update: I think the noise came from a pop-up ad. Problem resolved. Keep up the good work!
- Shel said...
Great Blog!!
Fun to hear what are the happenings in your lives. Way cool car. Can't wait to go for a ride, hope the interior is leather, easy clean up from little spit ups. (ha ha) Hope to you 2 real soon. Miss You! - 11:02 AM

My lovely bird's wall.
So much potential.
Miss Fortunes ult. So fun, tons of damage earlier game and the laugh is brilliant.
---------- Post added 2012-12-13 at 04:12 PM ----------
Gragas' E, have had so much fun getting away on such low hp with it.
Miss Fortune's ult is either insanely powerful or insanely weak in my experience. Most of the time it is the latter and usually poorly executed, but when that goes off and she laughs while getting a penta kill, I shudder.
PM me if you ever want to add me for Hearthstone!
I really do love Pantheon's ulti. I want to macro some sort of warcry to it, when playing with guildies I typically do a war yodel though.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every moment of it.
Sane people are boring. Or else I've been around insane people so long that I can't tell the difference anymore. Either way, chase away those silly notions of linear thought: they have never done anyone good.
VanCleef wants you! Join the Defias Brotherhood and hang out on a yacht all day!
I'd say it's a close tie between J4's ult and Fiora's
Fiora's ult because it's just so epic to get knocked down to lowish health in a teamfight, ulti, kill the target AND end with full health!
J4's ult for two reasons 1) How can you not love dunking someone! 2) "Helping" annoying people on your team will NEVER get old
Check out the blog I write for LEGENDARY Indie Label Flicknife Records:
