"Muslim hip-hop is not like Christian rock," says Yusuf, the Merrimack Valley half of the Allah-inspired Boston-Lowell tag team Blak Madeen. "Our music is relevant to society. It's like the difference between the two religions. Ours is part of everyday life, not just something that we think about once a week."
Here's the other difference between Muslim rap and Christian rock: the former is not shamelessly vapid. More hip-hop legends than not have kicked wisdom rooted in divine teachings — from Rakim Allah and Bronx rhyme architect K(nowledge) R(eigns) S(upreme)–One to the Wu-Tang Clan, whose members have guided cats from Brooklyn to Berlin to internalize the Twelve Jewels of Islam. If you've ever sung along to Gang Starr, Paris, Nas, Q-Tip, Mos Def, Jurassic 5, or virtually any other exalted rhyme act, chances are you've praised-due without even knowing.
But though Muslim themes have always been more latent than deliberate in rap music — with such metaphor maestros as RZA slipping arcane wisdom into figurative charades — an increasing number of artists are superseding the secular. Proud kufi-wearing cats like Narcicyst, Amir Sulaiman, and Brooklyn's M-Team are at the forefront of a palpable Muslim hip-hop movement — one in which several acts are astonishingly lyrical. Here in Boston, Yusuf and Al-J (formerly Al-Jabra) of Blak Madeen are on a pilgrimage to elevate the hip-hop dialogue, no matter how many mobs of bacon-loving blunt smokers they have to serenade.
"The Blak Madeen team spits jewels," says Al. "We're the voice of the people, the voice of the oppressed, the voice of the disenfranchised, the voice of those on Main Street, and the voice of those eating meat and potatoes. All that . . . You don't have to be Muslim to build with us, so long as you're righteous, so long as you're living right and doing right, and so long as you have a brain cell to build with."
To Islam outsiders (myself included), attempting to understand the difference between Al-J's faith and Yusuf's beliefs is like distinguishing trance from house and techno. A white convert who follows a regimented prayer schedule, Yusuf describes himself as the "Muslim kid who rhymes for a hobby," whereas Al-J, he says, is "the consummate MC" who was galvanized by golden-age hip-hop. And whereas Yusuf is a devout Muslim, Al is aligned with the Five-Percent Nation, a Nation of Islam offshoot that operates more like a motivational cradle than a strict religion.
"What's important is that we agree on the basics and acknowledge God and all the prophets," says Al. "There's also a common ground that keeps us together, and it's that we're certain of everything we speak about."
Easily one of the most distinguished Boston rap albums this year, Blak Madeen's debut, Sacred Defense (Leedz Edutainment), bangs hard enough to compensate for the group's lack of profanity and death threats. In the spirit of such enlightened rap gods as Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian and Hell Razah — both of whom appear on the album — Al and Yusuf disrupt the sociopolitical establishment with beats and banter that even superficial and depraved coke-rap fiends would nod along to.

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead

Got the opportunity to listen to Dave (wish I could remember his last name) a fisheries biologist working for Seattle City Light the other day while camping on the Ronde. He talked about cycles. Interesting topic. He said there is a bit of controversy regarding cycles but believe there are such things and they can be 10 year, 20 year, and even 30 year cycles all working at the same time. Very complicated and I will leave any specifics to the biologists.
Another thing I came away with from our conversation was a very good feeling about the future of fish in the northwest. With people like Dave working for outfits like Seattle City Light I see the trend in river management changing for the best. Very concerned people with lots of enthusiasm for their jobs. They seem to have new direction of managing our rivers with the fish as a major concern.
Thanks Dave for taking the time to educate a few old anglers.

|I have talked to a number of biologists that believe in cyclic events - ocean currents change and what seems to happen is if the currents favor runs in the north - BC and Washington, often the southern runs are low and vise versa. Over the last 5 or 6 years, the Klamath has been really hot but this year the runs are way off. Maybe things are swinging and the northern rivers will start to improve?
Not trying to change the direction of this Thread ...BUT
I've found it interesting to read post after post, on this and other boards, where the fishing (#'s of the buggers) is going to hell in a hand basket in Washington, and even northern Oregon rivers.
Moved to Southern Oregon in the mid 90's so Joan and I could build our (then) new vineyards. (Don't own them now but drive by fairly often and just sigh ,..... Plants, all 15-20,000 of them look very good!! Interesting to plant a 'vine' that, "trunk wise," is half your little finger and they're now the size of your lower arm in 7-8 years.)
Back to topic: The runs then were in 'decline,' then a total turn around. We've got fish coming out our 'ears.' Spring King run (into the top end of the river) of 35-40,000 fish; summer run steelhead over 10,000 fish in the same water along with a similar number of fall kings.
At the risk of saying something I'll regret ... why are our numbers going up to historic highs, and everyone elses going to historic lows?
Bob, you know what you need -- a fishing buddy.
And that would be me, partner. Being gainfully unemployed in Port Angeles, I can pick you up, literally and figuratively whenever you're ready.
I've been reading Art Lees book, Tying and Fishing the Riffling Hitch, in which he presents some counterintuitive ideas. Apparently, riffling ain't just for summer-runs. He talks about taking Atlantics on top in Iceland, in 15 degree weather ! .:eyecrazy:
So it's gotta possible for the winter-runs out here. I don't know much, but call me. We can learn how to "hitch" these OP fish together.
--Bert (360 452 0510)
All these thoughts have been thoughts that have been already thought of and yet need to be thought of again. Just my thoughts.
Bob, the Thoughtful :hehe:
|Doktor T
I fish flys on spinners with gear and I fish flys and Dick Nites and corkies and yarn and lead eyes with the fly gear. My goal is always to get the bite, set the hood, fight land fish. If a legal keeper, it is taken for the table or smoker. If the limit is 2 fish, I C&R until a bigger keeper is landed.
Can't tell you how many times I have landed a keeper in 5 minutes of casting, thought, wow, lots of fish around, released it, and never got another bite all day. Skunked myself as far as eating the prey is concerned. It costs me not less than $100 out of pocket to get to the river and back from home for a day trip of 4 or 5 hours on the water. But I love the sound of the fish on ice in the cooler sloshing about on the drive home.
Since I only get to fish river steelhead a few days per year, I will take as many legal fish per day as allowed. Did I mention, all barbless?? Very rare that I take home more than one or two fish in a 2 day outing when steelhead is the prey. I fill the freezer from the salt water, lings and salmon, but do stock as much poundage as I can from a few river trips each year for steelhead.
If it bothered greatly to get skunked any particular day, I would have quit fishing many years ago. But I have no aversion whatsoever to tie anything castable and fishable on my fly gear to get a steelhead to bite. If a no. 10 egg fly ain't workin', I'll try something else, and I'm not limited to just flys. Shoot, I might even try a small HotShot on my fly gear to elicite a reflex bite after getting no takers on several "go-to" lures. I seriously don't like being skunked, but I can take it like a man, and eat beans that night rather than fish, and just ignore the stink.
Relax, I understand your disappointment, my last trip I fished 2 days out of 12 due to water conditions, but the fact is that's steelheading. Going up North isn't the big guarantee, often it's a crapshoot, a major investment in time and funds.
I have met many anglers who go up with false expectations of numbers of fish and I always try and share with them instead focus on the why they are making the trip: the opportunity to swing your fly over healthy returns of native steelhead on unspoiled rivers.
Take pride in account that you stayed true to the method you wanted to use and experience it with-good for you. I will gladly trade your experience for all the time I have ran over to the Olympic Peninsula streams, only finding a punched river and turning around to make the 4hr trip back.
Another note!
I managed to go in the complete opposite direction as you as this was the first summer I did not bring a fish to hand via the now infamous indicator technique. On the other hand, this summer I have managed to find myself a good number of steelies the could not resisit the swung fly!
Me thinks these folk think you have never caught a steelhead :hehe:
I do feel your pain even though I have had a decent summer compared to many. Hang in there and it will turn around. I know your trip up north was frustrating. Two years ago I did the same thing and out of 9 days we fish 1 and a half.
I have a friend that was also up there when yuou and I were. His story is also one of disapointment. In fact, he is having the worst steelhead year of his life. He laughs that he can't even catch fish in closed waters. A springtime miscommunication had him fishing closed water for a couple weeks without so much as a grab. That is the kind of year he has had.
Don't you do anything too rash but get that new two-hander out there with a fly you have confidence in and just cast. Once you start focusing on how it all seems to be coming together, you will get a good yank and then you will be healed.
By the way, welcome to the board. Good to see you posting over here.
This one is a bit touchy!!! But you will sooner or later see that steelhead to the fly is an art and long times in between fish is very common even among the very best fishermen. I am a average fishermen when it comes to steelhead but I learned long ago that a fishing trip be it a day or week should not be centerd around catching fish. When I learned to relax and enjoy my surroundings with out all the anxiety of hooking a fish I would enjoy my self a lot more. Casting well can be very rewarding in its self, and we certainly do make many casts in between fish so you better enjoy casting if your going to fish steelhead with the fly. Relax and have fun and the fish will come.
This reminds of a little incident just this past week.
A good freind and I, made our way up to Pass Lake to fish for those big hungry browns from around 8 pm to 2 am. BUT...the lake was in the midst of its fall turnover and with muck and gunk just boiling to the surface and visibility down to nothing, our chances were very slim...
After hours of futile casting and kicking around, I got desperate and pulled out my saltwater flybox. In front of my Gummy Minnow, I attached a flashy spinny thing...what exactly it was, will not be identified!
dark confession
Several years ago the Deschutes was unfishable below the White River for several months. During that time I made three trips from my home in Yakima to the mouth of the Deschutes in order to ride my bike a few miles upstream and swing flies. It was futile, but the solitude almost made it worthwhile.
My third trip I found a black Panther Martin spinner on the bank. I clipped off my big, black leech, tied on the spinner and found I could cast it just fine with my 14' 9 wt spey rod. I fished the ledges below Miller Camp (East bank Wagonblast), hooked and landed a nice wild fish, drove home and took a shower.
Sorry to hear about your misfortune, I've recently had a big trip in the Canadian Maritimes that ended the same way. Luckily since I've moved out to the east coast I had thick-shouldered stripers waiting to oblige my worst drag-burning needs when I got home.
IMHO, flyfishing only is a personal preference and not any of anyone elses business. You shouldn't feel bad about a want to catch fish by any legal means that you want!
Go get'em, as Mr.Burdett says "we'll keep the light on for ya".
I think I'm Goiing To Sell Out
I have argued for years, and I hope persuasively, of the need for the highest standards in fly fishing. No bobbers (for catfishermen only), no heavily weighted flies or jigs. I even argued that on heavily fished streams like the North Fork of the Umqua, all flies and lure must float (to avoid lining the fish and snagging, flossing etc.,) No kill whatsoever on wild fish. Perhaps the closing of the entire Hoh river, the only decent wild fish river in
Washington, until recovery can be seen.
But I'm going to being a low life. Don't even waste your time with me if you are an ethical fisherman. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED AND I WANT TO GET SOME FISH.
So, I am going to use heavily weighted articulated dredgers, I'm going to scour every seam with these using a bobber. Just call me catfish. And if my ear is ripped off by those damn bombs I'm going to be throwing, then so be it.
I'm sore about a trip to the Bulkley recently which cost me a fortune to say nothing of the three days it me to get there. And it was a long three days home.
I got skunked, not even an LDR, no tug, no rock bite that I could claim as a fish...
I used dry flies only you see. Muddlers, Waller Wakers, Steelhead Bees, etc.
I am broken in spirit and I'm going to get deadly. After a few fish, maybe we can talk.
But for now, watch out! All bets are off!
Bob, the Turned Bad

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – The issues have been clearly defined for the Mississippi Legislature's 2013 session, which begins at noon Tuesday.
Most believe the primary focus of the session will be education – particularly charter schools and possibly other Republican proposals dealing with school choice options.
Part of that focus will be funding for what has been a perennially underfunded kindergarten through university system.
Democrats also will look for ways to force a vote before both the House and Senate on the proposal to expand Medicaid coverage under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. That vote may have to come through the amendment process since bills to expand Medicaid are expected to be killed in committee by the Republican leadership.
All this will occur against a backdrop of the second year for Republicans to control both chambers of the Legislature and the governor's office for the first time since the 1800s.
Even with Republicans controlling both chambers, key pieces of legislation died during the 2012 session. Those items included a proposal to allow charter schools to operate on public funds outside many of the guidelines and governance of traditional public schools and legislation to issue bonds to finance long-term construction projects.
Both are expected to be major issues during this year's session.
Last year legislative redistricting hung over the heads of the members for most of the session. How districts will be changed to match population shifts in the 2010 census was resolved late in the 2012 session. There has been speculation that redistricting limited controversy during the 2012 session because members feared the leadership could punish them by drawing unfavorable districts if they caused too many problems
Whether that was the case, Rep. Bobby Moak, D-Bogue Chitto, the leader of the minority Democratic Party, said, "I think it will be a hard-driven session. The people up here are nice folks, but we can certainly disagree about politics and public policy."
Going into the session, there already has been a bit of controversy. House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, took the unusual step of removing Linda Whittington, D-Schlater, a charter school opponent, from the Education Committee without her consent and replacing her with Charles Busby, R-Pascagoula, a charter school advocate. Last year charter school legislation was killed in the Education Committee by a one-vote margin.
Since that removal, another spot has opened up on the Education Committee with a member's resignation and Whittington has asked to be placed back on the panel. Gunn has not yet filled the slot.
Of the upcoming session, Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, who presides over the Senate, said, "Our system is designed such that it is supposed to be difficult to get a law passed, and we expect that to continue. The Senate has a strong group of committee chairmen that were selected on a bipartisan basis to help pass good, strong, conservative legislation, and we expect that to continue also."
Going into the session there are key differences in Gov. Phil Bryant's budget and the budget proposed by legislative leaders on the Budget Committee.
The deadline for the Legislature to pass a budget will not be until early
April – near the end of the 90-day session.
The legislative leadership's proposal leaves more funds in reserves, but does not deal with some issues addressed in the governor's proposal, such as $3 million for early childhood education and $42 million for the Department of Human Services as part of a settlement of a lawsuit dealing with the state's foster care system.

November 29, 2009 - 7:09am
By CALVIN WOODWARD
Osama bin Laden was unquestionably within reach of U.S. troops in the mountains of Tora Bora when American military leaders made the crucial and costly decision not to pursue the terrorist leader with massive force, a Senate report says.
The report asserts that the failure to kill or capture bin Laden at his most vulnerable in December 2001 has had lasting consequences beyond the fate of one man. Bin Laden's escape laid the foundation for today's reinvigorated Afghan insurgency and inflamed the internal strife now endangering Pakistan, it says.
Staff members for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Democratic majority prepared the report at the request of the chairman, Sen. John Kerry, as President Barack Obama prepares to boost U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
The Massachusetts senator and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate has long argued the Bush administration missed a chance to get the al-Qaida leader and top deputies when they were holed up in the forbidding mountainous area of eastern Afghanistan only three months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
More pointedly, it seeks to affix a measure of blame for the state of the war today on military leaders under former president George W. Bush, specifically Donald H. Rumsfeld as defense secretary and his top military commander, Tommy Franks.
"Removing the al-Qaida leader from the battlefield eight years ago would not have eliminated the worldwide extremist threat," the report says. "But the decisions that opened the door for his escape to Pakistan allowed bin Laden to emerge as a potent symbolic figure who continues to attract a steady flow of money and inspire fanatics worldwide. The failure to finish the job represents a lost opportunity that forever altered the course of the conflict in Afghanistan and the future of international terrorism."

Bitters: If you are going to Turneffe you will want the amber colored legs on an amber body or olive colored legs on an olive body. You can do the glue heads or just buy the Tears of Keys blanks which will save you a lot of time.
We used ragheads and small merkins rather than Turneffe Crabs and they worked well.
FYI-for turneffe you will want 90% of your flies to be weedless. Especially on the coral flats. Be prepared to lose a lot of fish to the rocks.
The answer is "yes"
I use the legs to wrap under the epoxy so the answer there is the same color as the body wrap (it is the body wrap) BUT you could use a thread body and different legs, up to you. Coloring with a marker adds nice mottled appearance too.
Stepping back from the leg detail for a minute, you generally want to come close to the bottom color for daytime fishing and present a noticeable silouette against the bottom for off light hours. I like to use the speckles and highlights on flies that look very close to the bottom color just to let them know it's food. Tan is a must, also the chalky whites, light olives, etc.
I would not get too carried away with the leg colors, just look at critters on the flat and copy their colors. So many factors besides the fly are in play on the tropical flats. There are a dozen flies that a fish will take and any given shot, but only one shot that will work.
If they aren't reacting try a larger pattern that they might not have seen from other anglers - you'll be surprised how big of a fly they can suck down with those small mouths.
what color legs?
I want to tie up some bonefish bitters and turneffe crabs for my upcoming trip to belize but am a little confused about what color legs I should use. Is there a wiggle leg color that works well or am i better off using white and taking some colored pens? Also does hot glue work for the head?

Daniel Hildebrand : 2013 Outstanding Graduate in Automotive
"After getting my GED in Summer 2007, I discovered that I really enjoy working on cars. UAS has helped me reach my goals by providing the education I needed to be able to support my family while doing the kind of work that I love."
Daniel Hildebrand's story is one of perseverance and determination. He took his first automotive technology class in Fall 2007, and worked his way through all of the automotive core offerings over the following five semesters. During that time, he also completed his practicum experience by working part time at a local automotive repair shop. Working in the trade while he went to school supercharged his growth and in December of 2011, he passed the last of eight tests to become an ASE Master Automobile Technician.
Daniel also took some diesel classes over the following semesters, but his primary focus was on completing his GERs to get his associate of applied science degree. Starting out with non-college credit classes in both English and math, Daniel kept "plugging and chugging" on his education goals while working full-time. He completed his final GER this spring semester, and has the highest GPA of this year's Power Technology graduates.
UAS' 2013 Juneau Commencement will be held May 5 at 2:00 p.m. at the UAS Recreation Center.
Crystal Rogers is receiving her Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree in Independent Design, focusing on the art, language, government and history of indigenous and Western societies in Alaska, with a minor in Tlingit.
Learn more about Crystal Rogers, this year's student speaker at the UAS Commencement in Juneau on May 6th.

So, after the ULTIMATE and ultraaa-long diary outcast, I thought, "hey, there was advogato.org" and so I'm here and typing some words in the lame keyboard.
Started to study Biology in Heidelberg and it's much more stuff, much more knowledge but also much more fun then CS could ever be (but why do the medi.s have got the only cigarette automates in the whole campus except the mensa area? Really, this is a paradoxon, being a medi. and then smoking.. Tsts ,-)).
Need interesting stuff to read? Need some masochistic material for your pleasure? Need stuff for getting whip'd off? Study Biology!

National Book Award, Nonfiction, 2000
The ordeal of the whaleship Essex was an event as mythic in the nineteenth century as the sinking of the Titanic was in the twentieth. In 1819 the Essex left Nantucket for the South Pacific with 20 crew members aboard. In the middle of the South Pacific, the ship was rammed and sunk by an angry sperm whale. The crew drifted for more than 90 days in three tiny whaleboats, succumbing to weather, hunger, and disease and ultimately turning to drastic measures in the fight for survival.
Nathaniel Philbrick uses little-known documents, including a long-lost account written by the ship's cabin boy, and penetrating details about whaling and the Nantucket community to reveal the chilling events surrounding this epic maritime disaster. An intense and mesmerizing read, In the Heart of the Sea is a monumental work of history forever placing the Essex tragedy in the American historical canon.
©2000 Nathaniel Philbrick; (P)2000 Penguin Audiobooks
"A fascinating tale, well told." (Booklist)
"[Told] with verve and authenticity...a classic tale of the sea." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"Good story, horrible audio"
Interesting story but the production value / quality of the audio is absolutely terrible. The volume and clarity of the narrator varies wildly even within chapters. Better to read this in book form vs audio.
"Proof poor editing can ruin a great story"
This is the worst edited audiobook I've ever heard. I tried to make it through it but couldn't. Even within the chapters, the sound quality and background noise level differed, which was distracting. But, the biggest problem is that each new chapter starts by cutting off the end of the previous one. The narrator will literary be mid-sentence when it cuts in with the start of a new chapter. It's disorienting and jarring -- each time it happened, I had to take time to collect myself and figure out what was happening. After about 4 chapters of this, I just gave up. It was too jarring, and I found myself on edge the entire book; it prevented me from getting into it.
It would be like buying a book that has the last few sentences (or even more -- I have no way to know how much of each chapter is missing) cut off or that is missing a page or two throughout the book. If I ordered such a book, I would return it, and I'm thankful that audible allows returns. This one is going back. It's a shame the poor editing can ruin such a fascinating story.
"Great story - not great recording"
His performance is fine, but there was no equalizing his voice so it was loud and then soft. Bad recording and bad transitions.
"Wonderful Nonfiction Tale/Horrible Mech. Editing"
This is a fantastic, true tale of the Whaler Essex, its fate against an angry whale and the challenges facing the survivors. Amazing story. Well read by the narrator.
The biggest flaw is the mechanical editing. Horribly spliced. Sections seem to run into each other, and volume levels are confusion. For such a fantastic story, carefully read, this is a sad and sloppy treatment of the story.
Other than that, a great listen.
I don't listen to much non-fiction, preferring to lose myself in someone else's world. This book was recommended by a colleague and it sounded interesting so I got it. WOW - I couldn't stop listening to it. This is real life better than any fiction. An amazing story, set in the history of whaling, and Scott Brick was the perfect narrator for this book.
The audio books I get tend to be either 1) scifi or 2) things for my husband and me to listen to on long road trips--humor or history
"Read this first, then read Moby-Dick"
This book was not on my radar until I read "Railsea" by China Mieville, which is a young adult science fiction redux of Moby-Dick. I had never read Moby-Dick but figured since I knew the general outline of the story that would be enough. However, as is my wont, while reading "Railsea" I got more and more curious about Moby-Dick and started to do some research. That research brought me to "In the Heart of the Sea" and thank goodness it did.
"In the Heart of the Sea" is a fantastically well-written account of the true story of a whaling ship that was sunk by a whale in the 1820's. It turns out that Melville knew the story of the Essex and the tale inspired some of the events in Moby-Dick. Philbrick has done his homework and gives the reader not merely the facts about the Essex, but also quite a bit of history about whaling in general and Nantucket whaling in particular. He also delves into research on how humans survive in extraordinary circumstances, which was shocking, horrifying and fascinating in equal measures. In addition to all this, Philbrick gives an overview of the life of Herman Melville and explains how Moby-Dick was written.
After finishing "In the Heart of the Sea" I was absolutely compelled to read Moby-Dick. I picked up an abridged audio version and was completely amazed by it. I thank Nathaniel Philbrick for penning his history and opening up my mind so that I was able to fully appreciate Moby-Dick.
This tale, ultimately of survival, is fascinating. Philbrick does a great job educating us at to the financial driver of 1820s Nantucket - the whaling industry - and interweaving a fascinating story of a hellbent whale, unlucky decisions and what people will do to survive. Not to be missed.
Editor, FilmDrunk.com
"Great book, worst-produced audiobook I've heard."
The book is great. The audiobook production is quite possibly the worst I've heard. The reader is fine, but the production cuts off the last two or three words of every chapter, and the next one will start with such a different room tone and EQ that it barely even sounds like the same person. Again, a great book, but someone needs to get in there and fix the audiobook ASAP. Few things as aggravating as every chapter cutting off.
"Good book, poor editing ..."
The editing was inconsistent. The story would stop randomly, not even at the end of chapters (cutting in the middle of a sentence). Then start again with a different sound and tone. Sometimes I wondered if it was the same narrator, the sound was so different.
Moved quickly, gave good context to the story and was intriguing.
I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - Salinger ^(;,;)^
"Before you see the movie, but after you read Moby-Dick."
"Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee."
- Moby-Dick
I've been wanting to read this book for years. Patiently it sat, right behind me, waiting. I enjoyed Philbrick's 'Mayflower' and 'Sea of Glory'. Given how much I love Moby-Dick, I'm kinda surprised it took me so long (15 years) to read this history of the Essex.
Philbrick paces this narrative well. He patches together all the major perspectives. When the story leaves gaps, he dead reckons and is able to fill the story in with similar types of accidents, aggressive whale experiences, sailors, oil, blood, starvation, and -- well -- other episodes of cannibalism. He is able to humanize the captain, the first-mate, and the people of Nantucket (while also giving serious consideration for all the other sailors; those from Nantucket, outlanders, and black sailors too). It was a quick read, and compelling.

12.14: Geothermal Power
How could geothermal energy be used just about anywhere?
Geothermal energy comes from heat deep below the surface of the Earth. That heat may come to the surface naturally or it may be available through drilling. Nothing must be done to the geothermal energy. It is a resource that can be used without processing.
Geothermal Energy
The heat that is used for geothermal power may come to the surface naturally as hot springs or geysers, like The Geysers in northern California. Where water does not naturally come to the surface, engineers may pump cool water into the ground. The water is heated by the hot rock and then pumped back to the surface for use. The hot water or steam from a geothermal well spins a turbine to make electricity.
Geothermal energy is clean and safe. The energy source is renewable since hot rock is found everywhere in the Earth, although in many parts of the world the hot rock is not close enough to the surface for building geothermal power plants. In some areas, geothermal power is common (Figure below).
A geothermal energy plant in Iceland. Iceland gets about one fourth of its electricity from geothermal sources.
In the United States, California is a leader in producing geothermal energy. The largest geothermal power plant in the state is in the Geysers Geothermal Resource Area in Napa and Sonoma Counties. The source of heat is thought to be a large magma chamber lying beneath the area.
Where Earth's internal heat gets close to the surface, geothermal power is a clean source of energy. In California, The Geysers supplies energy for many nearby homes and businesses.
Find out more at http://www.kqed.org/quest/television/geothermal-heats-up2.
- Most geothermal energy being used now is in regions where hot material comes to the surface.
- Hot rocks are everywhere below Earth's surface so geothermal energy could be used anywhere with drilling.
- Geothermal energy is clean and does not release greenhouse gases.
Use this resource to answer the questions that follow.
1. What is an enhanced geothermal system?
2. How is an appropriate site found?
3. What can occur where the fractures are created in the rock?
4. How is the heat extracted?
5. How can the system be expanded?
6. What is the future of geothermal energy?
1. How is geothermal energy harnessed?
2. How would it be possible for a geothermal plant to gather energy if the hot material was not located at the surface?
3. Why is geothermal energy becoming more popular?

The Geriatric Care Manager
Caregiving can become an unexpected
necessity if a senior experiences a sudden illness. We
expect the elderly to have special challenges with the
passing years. Yet, we may not be able to predict or
assess just how challenging their lives may be. This is
where a Geriatric Care Manager (GCM) may provide
valuable assistance to caregivers and the elderly
Geriatrics, a specialty branch of medicine dealing with
elderly populations and their medical needs, was a
blossoming field in 1989. With Medicare cutbacks among
the reasons, fewer physicians are specializing in this
branch of medicine. The American Board of Medical
Specialties reports a reduction of about 440 less
geriatric doctors between 2004 and 2006. More of us are
growing older, but there are fewer doctors for this
specialty population. Geriatric Care Managers can fill
the needed gap, providing assessments and planning, as
well as communicating with physicians.
Most GCMs will be degreed in social work, nursing,
counseling, or psychology. Like any professional, their
experience and ability will vary. Professional
regulation is not required of a GCM in all states, and
some individuals can earn a "certificate" via online
The National Association of Professional Geriatric Care
Managers accepts members who have met specific criteria,
and is a good resource for referrals to care managers
locally and nationally. Keep in mind that while the
organization does check references and credentials,
anyone with some affiliation or interest in geriatric
care can apply to select an "affiliate" membership.
Interviewing a care manager includes answering their
questions, too. Both parties must be sure that the
senior's needs are met. The GCM's responsibility is to
the senior first. Caregivers may be reassured of that,
but must also be aware that the elder care professional
has access to more information. Once an evaluation is
done, the caregiver may be surprised to find the current
scale of care should be altered to fit changing needs
that a non-medical professional will not recognize.
Care management is exceptionally useful if seniors are
being monitored from a distance by phone calls, or
occasional visits from local family and friends. The GCM
can act as a medical advocate as well as spot imminent
health conditions. Since seniors living alone tend to
accentuate the positive to retain their independence, an
impartial third party can determine which services will
help them retain that independence.
Families living away from their elders can utilize a GCM
to keep up with their loved one's needs, such as regular
bill paying, doctor's visits, and intervention with
community or medical services. The GCM's role does not
stop at assessment and recommendation, although it can,
if a caregiver desires.

Hero is a word we hear often in sports, but heroism is not always about achievements on the field of play. 42 tells the story of two men—the great Jackie Robinson and legendary Brooklyn Dodgers General Manager Branch Rickey—whose brave stand against prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game of baseball.
In 1946, Branch Rickey put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson to the team, breaking Major League Baseball's infamous color line. But the deal also put both Robinson and Rickey in the firing line of the public, the press, and even other players. Facing unabashed racism from every side, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting in kind, knowing that any incident could destroy his and Rickey's hopes. Instead, Number 42 let his talent on the field do the talking—ultimately winning over fans and his teammates, silencing his critics, and paving the way for others to follow.
In 1997, Major League Baseball retired the number 42 for all teams, making it the first number in sports to be universally retired. The only exception is April 15th—Jackie Robinson Day—commemorating the date of his first game as a Brooklyn Dodger. On that day alone, players from every team proudly wear Number 42 to honor the man who altered the course of history.
Opening on April 12, 2013, the 42 film will commemorate the 66th anniversary of Jackie Robinson Day.

Need to transfer a large file to somebody over the internet, but don't know how to do it? We've got your back. Large file transfers can be done in a few different ways, so we've put together this guide to cover the simplest, most effective, and most secure methods. No matter what you're trying to send, the techniques listed below will help you get the job done without paying a dime.
Compress files before sending
Got a file that's too big to send as an email attachment? Make it smaller! File compression will not only shrink whatever you're trying to send, but it'll make the transfer go faster regardless of which method you're using — be it email, FTP, or cloud storage. Most computers come with file compression utilities built in, too, so making a ZIP file only takes a few clicks. Here's how it's done.
|Find the file you want to compress
|Find the file you want to compress
|Right click on it and select "Send to"
|Two-finger click/control+click on the file
|Choose "Compressed (zipped) folder"
|Select "Compress … [file name]"
Also, if you're transferring music or video, we suggest using RAR compression instead of ZIP because it uses a better compression algorithm that generally cuts down on data loss and file corruption. We recommend using 7-Zip for this, as the open-source file archivists one of the best currently available.
Upload to a Cloud storage service
The best, and most popular, option for transferring large files is to upload them to an online storage service where your desired recipient can download them. Thanks to the rise of cloud computing, there are a zillion of these types of services, so we've taken the time to pick out some of the best ones for you. Below you'll find a quick list of our current favorites, all of which offer plenty of storage space, security, and sharing features. Again, we won't get into specifics on how to use each program, but will instead provide quick descriptions to help you find a service that suits your needs.
Google Drive
Google Drive offers up to 15GB of free storage and allows you to share large files, such as pictures and video, in just a few clicks. If you've already got a Gmail account, you can't beat the simplicity of Drive. Upgrading to the paid version of Drive also nets you 100GB of storage for $2 per month, or a full terabyte of storage — that's 1,000GB — for $10.
Dropbox is another great cloud storage option that offers 2GB of free storage space and a variety of sharing options. The basic suite of features is more or less the same as Google Drive, but Dropbox also offers a mobile app for non-Android and iOS devices, such as the the Kindle Fire and Blackberry.
MediaFire offers 20GB of free storage and boasts incredibly simple sharing tools. In 2014, the 200MB cap on individual file uploads was upgraded to a whopping 10GB, so even large files can be uploaded with no issues. You can also land a 1TB for $3.75 a month.
At this point, we're basically just giving you a laundry list of different options that perform the same service. WeTransfer is free (surprise, surprise!), and it allows users to send files up to 2GB without even registering their name or email address, with a host of added features.

By Riley Manning/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – New Albany head football coach Ron Price spoke on Thursday to the Fellowship of Christian Business Leaders about the tragic death of his late wife Amanda Price and the gospel-fulfilling legacy she left behind.
In November 2011, Price experienced what he thought to be the worst feeling in the world, riding home on a bus with his team in silence after a season-ending loss to Cleveland High School.
"That long bus ride back gives a coach a lot of time to second guess himself," he said. "I thought, 'This has got to be the worst feeling in the world.' Our kids had worked so hard and put it all on the line to lose like that."
This thought would return to him less than a month later. On Dec. 5, after a day of Christmas shopping, Amanda was at home and started to take out their new pet bulldog, only to find an intruder attempting to break in.
"I heard her fiddling with the lock from the bedroom, then I heard her scream. She wasn't one to get frightened easily, so I knew something was wrong," he said.
Running to her aid, Price was shot by the intruder, and woke up in a hospital bed to hear from his pastor and coaching staff the news of his wife's death
"The more I read my devotional, the madder I got," he said. "I went to Amanda's dad, who was a Baptist preacher, wanting to know why we were having to go through this."
Price found the answer to that question unknowable. But he did find his wife's prayer journal, which she wrote in every night after reading scripture.
"I never knew how valuable that would prove to be," he said. "But reading it now is awesome."
Price recounted the ways Amanda had blessed him, as well as their families. He urged members of the Fellowship not to take their spouses for granted.
"Many of you will leave here today to see your spouse. Let them know what they mean to you," he said.
Most importantly, Price said Amanda showed Christ's love to everyone she came in contact with through the football team and her job as a speech pathologist for the New Albany school district.
"I found a letter from one of her students thanking her for being a friend who listened and believed in them," he said. "I truly wish the young man who broke into my house had an Amanda Price in his life who cared enough about him to get to know him as a person and show him Christ."

I got the call on Sunday, November 25th. My favorite aunt who is in her early 70s was rushed to the hospital with pneumonia and was on a ventilator in the ICU. Her vitals weren't stable and a blood culture showed that the infection had overwhelmed her bloodstream and she was now septic. The illness had started as a cold which quickly became bronchitis and then pneumonia. I got in the car and rushed from Chicago to Pittsburgh in the hope that I could see her alive. My aunt has been obese for at least 30 years but her weight ballooned while she cared for my uncle who died from cancer this past July. After a long evening at the hospital, my cousin (her son) and I drove to her home to spend the night. This home had been the source of many happy family gatherings and it was tremendously sad to think that we might only have memories.
Nine days have passed and my aunt is still on the ventilator and nonresponsive. Her vitals are stable and the pneumonia and sepsis seem to be resolving. But complicating the recovery is the fact that her liver and gallbladder aren't healthy. Many years of obesity have put an enormous strain on these organs. Her gallbladder is infected and we found out that she has non-alcoholic fatty liver.
My aunt is one of six children and most of the brothers, sisters and offspring have put their lives on hold and in some cases packed up little ones and pets to get to Pittsburgh. The toll of stress, worry, travel and time away from work has been huge. If you haven't been taking care of your health and think it doesn't impact your entire family, think again. While we are cautiously optimistic, the prognosis for my aunt is still uncertain. But if you are obese or have a chronic health condition and are reading this, know that it's OK to put your own health needs first when it comes to your health and well-being. Taking care of yourself first is actually the best way to take care of your family. If you see yourself in this picture, maybe you need a new mantra. It might go something like this: "taking care of my own health first is the best way for me to take care of my loved ones."
Takeaway: Check out the CDC's website for information on obesity and BMI. http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/adult/defining.html
I always think of Thanksgiving Day and New Year's Day as the bookends on a fun time of celebration. But unfortunately, many people will slide into January with unwanted weight gain. If you want to start 2013 feeling and looking good, now is the time to be proactive. I used the livestrong.com website to estimate the calories in a typical Thanksgiving dinner (2007 calories) and the Health Status website to calculate ways for a 160lb. person to burn those calories. Of course, this is just an estimate, but it sure was fun.
Calorie Content of Typical Thanksgiving Dinner

Now here are some activities (based upon a 160lb. individual) that can help burn off Thanksgiving dinner. You can do your own calculations for dozens of activities at http://www.healthstatus.com/cgi-bin/calc/calculator.cgi by selecting "health calculators." Get moving today and you'll have about a week to devote to extra activity. And whatever you decide, try to avoid too much sitting. We drive or fly to relatives and we sit; we eat and we sit; we talk and we sit. Ugh! Get everyone moving if you can.

Back in the days when I was working as an investment advisor and trying to raise young children, I had little time for anything but work in the office and work at home. One day, I was lamenting that fact that I wasn't exercising and was lectured by my single, childless admin assistant for failing to prioritize exercise. I finally started getting up at 4:30 am to go to the gym but I was so tired that I kept falling asleep on the treadmill and actually fell off twice. I quickly realized that giving up sleep for exercise wasn't a healthy solution. However, if I had had some guidance I could have slept later and done 20-30 minutes of exercise at home. If you see yourself in this picture, here are a few ideas that might help.
- For cardio, alternate marching and jumping jacks. Try marching for a minute, jacks for 10 to 30 seconds and keep repeating. Try to work up to 15 minutes. If you want to rev up the intensity, add in some rope jumping or even pretend rope jumping where you move your hands and wrists and hop as if you are using a rope. If you are truly deconditioned, just march.
- For a full body exercise, sit back against a wall and slide down until your thighs are parallel with the floor. You should be wearing shoes to avoid sliding out. Your ankles and knees should be at 90 degree angles. (If it is difficult to slide down that far, only slide partway.) This is called an "air bench" because it looks like you are sitting on air. Hold two medium weight dumbbells near your thighs. Keeping your elbows at your sides, bend your arms so that you lift the dumbbells up near the shoulders (bicep curl). At this point, you can lower the dumbbells and repeat the bicep curl or press the dumbbells overhead, lower them to your shoulders, lower them to your hips and then continue the curl and press all over again. Continue with 8 to 20 curls and presses while you hold the air bench position.
- For your core, get prone on the floor, bend your arms so that your elbows are directly under your shoulders, tuck your toes under, straighten your legs, contract your butt muscles and lift yourself off the floor holding the body in a prone plank position for 10 to 30 seconds. Look down at the floor to keep your head in alignment with the spine. Draw your belly inward but keep breathing. Alternate each plank with 20 seconds of yoga arches and curls. Repeat this two to five times. If holding a plank on the floor is too difficult, regress it by elevating your arms on a bench, sturdy table or even kitchen counter.
- For your upper back, back your body up to a wall, raise your arms out to each side so that the wrists are above the elbows and your wrists, elbows and shoulders form a 90 degree angle, like goal posts. Slide your elbows down toward your ribs keeping your forearms back near the wall ONLY if you have pain-free range of motion. These are called "wall angels." You should feel a contraction in your mid back.
- For chest and shoulders, do some push- ups. They can be done on hands and toes with full body extension, on your knees, or standing and pushing off of a wall or sturdy piece of furniture. If you can't do at least 12 on the floor, regress to a standing position until you get stronger.
Takeaway: Working with a personal trainer can be expensive. But many trainers (including myself) are more than happy to work with a client for a limited time frame (i.e. 4 to 8 sessions) with the goal of teaching the client to work out safely and efficiently on their own. A personal trainer can also help you progress or regress the exercises I have suggested.
What would you do if your doctor said that you would most likely die in the next few years if you didn't change your health habits? Most of us believe that we could change if our lives were on the line. But the sobering reality is that nine out of ten people just can't make the changes that can save their lives. A book titled "Change or Die" by Alan Deutschman offers up a number of studies that prove this reality. But the book also explores what works and this is what today's blog is about.
First, three things that don't work are facts, fear and force. For example, if an individual with extremely high blood pressure hears that he has a 500% higher risk of a heart attack or stroke in the next five years unless he loses weight and stops smoking, he will most likely join the 9 out of 10 individuals who fail to make the necessary lifestyle changes. It's much easier to live in a state of denial than face the prospect of death.
Now let's look at three concepts that do work. The concepts are "relate, repeat and reframe". To relate, a patient needs to develop a new relationship with an individual or group that supports the change. This is when a good personal trainer, wellness coach, nutritionist, support group or group exercise instructor can be worth their weight in gold. To repeat, the new "relationship" must inspire the individual to keep going until the change becomes habit. We had a cardiac rehab class in my prior job and all of the participants became extremely close friends. The social support was so positive that the participants would come out in a snowstorm to avoid missing a class. To reframe, the new relationship should enable the individual to view life from a "new" lens. For example, the individual who once hated exercise might find new joy in movement. The individual who lived on junk food may find new joy in cooking.
Takeaway: By now, most people are familiar with SparkPeople, Weight Watchers and similar support groups. But here are a few more ideas for groups that can make healthy change fun.
- Go to www.meetup.com and select "fitness." I found everything from an underwater hockey club to yoga groups to a beer runner's club.
- Try www.americancanoe.org and look under paddling clubs for canoe, kayak and whitewater paddling clubs in your area.
- Try www.wellcoaches.com and select "Find a Wellness Coach" for personalized support.
My first job in fitness was in a large Y which offered many group exercise classes and for the most part, served its members well. But I now work with two physical therapists and many of our new clients come to us because they've been injured in group classes. Unfortunately, I've observed classes where students repeatedly pull on their heads and necks to initiate crunches. I've seen exercisers struggle to hold planks and hurt their shoulders and backs. Here are a few things to think about when it comes to training your abs.
- The space between the vocal chords can close during crunches forcing pressure down to the abdomen (causing it to stick out) or to the pelvic floor. Repeated pressure on the pelvic floor can eventually contribute to incontinence. And by the way, men do have a pelvic floor.
- According to the New York Times ("Forget About Crunches, Here's How to Protect Your Back", 6/28/2011) there are 1.5 million vertebral fractures diagnosed every year in the U.S. Crunches can put exercisers at risk for these spinal fractures.
- Planks on the floor can be effective if you can maintain good form. To regress a plank, elevate your upper body by putting your elbows and forearms on a weight bench or massage table with feet on the floor. If this is still too difficult, get a physical therapist or a trainer to help you with some appropriate alternatives.
Takeaway: One of the best ways to get a flat belly is to eat a balanced diet and reduce your overall body fat. And please don't tolerate urge or stress incontinence. A good source of help (besides appropriate medical care and possibly physical therapy) is the Total Control Program - http://www.totalcontrolprogram.com/. They've got a DVD with some very effective exercises and information about classes as well.
It's not unusual for fear to keep us from trying new exercise classes or physical challenges. If you find that you are avoiding a new activity because you think you won't measure up, the only way out is through. Sign up for the activity, put the date and time in your calendar and get your butt out the door. No excuses!
Here's my example. I've always wanted to try Bikram Yoga and an "instructor friend" invited me to her class. Unfortunately, I feel quite a bit of pressure to perform when the instructor knows that I'm a trainer. Also, after years of taking tamoxifen for the breast cancer I had in 2006, I don't always tolerate extreme heat well. As you may or may not know, the class is done in a room heated to about 100 degrees. Well, I went to my first Bikram Yoga class last night and I don't think I've ever sweat like that. I found it profoundly therapeutic and can't wait to go back. Learning a new activity will keep both your exercise adherence and your personal confidence high. If you don't have any medical contraindications, I challenge you to schedule your class or activity in the next 15 minutes.
Takeaway: If you do decide to try Bikram Yoga, drink plenty of fluids during the day, have a piece of fruit or light snack several hours prior to the class and take an extra towel or two and a water bottle with you. And be sure to tell your instructor that it's your first time. If you have any health conditions that might make hot yoga unsafe, be sure to get your MDs OK first.
I have a number of clients who have jobs that require many hours of sitting. With long days in a chair, they typically have weak glutes (butt muscles), and chronically shortened hip flexors (the muscles that run from the upper leg to the pelvis and spine). Unfortunately, weak glutes and shortened hip flexors can cause a lot of pain and dysfunction and can make efficient walking, biking and cycling difficult.
If you happen to sit a lot, there are a few easy exercises you can do to offset weak glutes and short hip flexors. First, stand up with toes facing forward and feet at hip width. Pretend that you are holding a lemon or a $100 bill between your butt cheeks and squeeze, hold and release the lemon or bill 15 or 20 times. Try to avoid using your shoulders, torso or legs to help. This exercise may seem comical, but you'd be surprised at the number of people who struggle to isolate and activate their glute muscles. Second, find a step or stool that is about a foot or more high and put one foot up on it. Stand tall and shift the weight of your hips over the elevated foot, keeping the back leg straight. This can help stretch the hip flexors that must lengthen when the glutes contract. Try doing these two simple exercises four or five times during the day.
Takeaway: Sometimes when we do new client assessments, we discover that the client is taking 3 or 4 or more drugs. If you are taking multiple drugs, there is a wonderful, free website called www.drugs.com. You can enter all of your prescriptions and click an interaction button to see if the combination has any potentially harmful interactions.
By now, most of us know the many benefits of exercise including cardiovascular health, less risk of some cancers, weight control, better sleep, controlling diabetes and so on. I could fill a few pages just listing the benefits. But to stick with exercise for the long run, it is helpful for each of us to articulate the one or two reasons that tip the balance. By tip the balance, I mean the reason that will get you out of bed in the morning when it is still dark, the reason that will enable you to put a work project on hold and walk or run, the reason that will keep you going when boredom, bad weather, or any number of cons outweigh the pros. For me, the reason is participation in sports like kayaking, hiking, cycling and cross country skiing. For someone else, it might be the need to offset the stress of a demanding career, or to maintain health well into older age in order to continue care of a disabled child. If you are trying to make the transition from someone who is thinking about starting an exercise program or you are struggling with consistency, sit down in a quiet place and write out your reasons, type them out on a sheet of paper and add some descriptive pictures if necessary. Keep your reasons on your night table or in your wallet or above your desk. This way, when the going gets tough, you'll have your reasons to keep going.
Takeaway: I frequently have clients who are struggling with weight loss tell me that they don't have the time to cook. I recently discovered a website called www.thefresh20.com that will provide a plan for 5 weekly dinners with shopping list and recipes (choice of classic, veggie or non-gluten) all made from just 20 fresh ingredients. Add one dinner of grilled salmon and one dinner out and you're done.
First, my apologies for a lack of blog entrees during the past month. In addition to being a fitness trainer, I also work as a wilderness guide and kayak instructor. I've spent so many hours on the water that I've had little time for writing.
I'm always amazed when someone who won't tolerate the smallest problem with their car or home will live for years with pain. If pain is stopping you from doing things that you enjoy, keep looking for a solution. Realistically speaking, there are illnesses and problems that can't be fixed. But even something that can't be fixed can usually be improved. Here's my example.
I've had pain in the joint of my left big toe off and on since I was 19 years old. Over the summer, the pain became chronic and even walking was painful. I went to a podiatrist who I've seen for years and her proposal was to give me a steroid shot every 3 months. She also recommended a running shoe with gel built into the sole. The gel shoe actually made my pain worse and treating the symptom with 4 cortisone shots a year didn't make sense to me. Luckily, I found another podiatrist who happens to be an avid runner. He took a closer look at the biomechanics of my foot, ankle and calf and suggested a stability running shoe and a soft toe separator to keep the joint in perfect alignment. Now I'm pain free and back to all of my usual activities.
Pain is never OK. If you are suffering, get a second, third, fourth or fifth opinion if need be. But don't settle.
Takeaway: If you are vacationing on a large body of water and notice that the water is as smooth as glass and perfect for swimming, check for offshore winds. Many a swimmer or recreational boater gets caught by surprise when they find theselves "blown" out and away from the shore. Sometimes the most benign looking conditions can actually be dangerous. If you have offshore winds of 10mph or more, take care.
We have an event coming up in September and I'd like to lose 5 lbs. to look my best. In a weak moment, I signed up for an online diet plan and after logging in realized that I'd either need to either follow a complicated self-cook program or spend $650 this month ordering their food.
So I came up with my own plan which isn't nutritionally perfect, but I'll share it and report back in mid-September with results.
Breakfast: Steel cut oats with blueberries, TBSP of walnuts, almond milk, and tsp. of agave nectar and ½ cup of low fat cottage cheese. If I'm rushed, I'll substitute one or two of Luna's new high fiber bars or a piece of toasted Ezekiel bread with almond butter and some fruit. Done!
Lunch: On Sunday and Wednesday, I'll make hearty vegan salads from Caldwell Esselsyn's "Prevent and Reserve Heart Disease" and the "build a soup" recipes from page 50 of "The Ultimate Volumetrics Diet." I'll put the vegan salad on two cups of greens and eat each salad over 3 days and include a cup of soup if I'm still hungry. I'll add another piece of fruit. Done!
Dinner: I'll marinate a 3 to 6 oz. piece of lean protein like chicken, fish or flank steak in a medium fat, low sugar salad dressing and broil or grill it with a few servings of steamed veggies. I'll add a cup of brown rice or quinoa. Done!
Snacks can include hummus and veggies, homemade smoothies, fruit, a controlled portion of chips and salsa, almond butter on Ezekiel bread, a cup of soup from my "build a soup" stash, some low fat yogurt, Skinny Pop popcorn or even a 130 calorie Diana's frozen chocolate covered banana. I'll record all of this on Livestrong.com's nutrition site to check calories and nutritional balance. Done!
Takeaway: I'm teaching a new 6 session Stand Up Paddle Board class beginning on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 7am to 8:15am. If you want to try one free class, email me through this site and I'll get back to you. There are a few prerequisites, like being able to swim 20 yards wearing a PFD (personal flotation device).
Personal Fitness Training is hosting a free jeans "fitting clinic" on Monday, August 20th from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. You can find more information about my class and the clinic under the events and classes tab on this site.

Kuschelig is the environment control system of the CCC Goettingen. Here are some pictures:
Der Thermostat muss auf: Manu, 14°C stehen. und wird bei bedarf von brickme auf "burst" geschaltet.
Ideas to Control the Valve
The valve is hooked up to a temperature controller. This temperature controller has a 'Boost' button which completely opens the valve for 300 seconds. In detail the controller behaves like this:
- After a startup: The controller has to be configured. To do this, the boost button has to be pressed five times. Then the controller starts to learn how far to move the motor to open or close the valve. Then the controller enters 'automatic' mode.
- Once in automatic mode, pressing the boost button results in the valve being opened for the next 300 seconds. Pressing the boost button again, within these 300 seconds stops the boost mode and the valve is closed. Pressing boost again results in the same behaviour, the valve is again opened for the next 300 seconds.
This boost button is hooked up to a DS2413, which is a switch with a onewire interface. Thus it is possible to press the boost button remotely with two onewire commands. Here is an example with the ethersex onewire master:
brickme:~# ./temp.pl boost Command: 'boost' Connecting... Connected. > 1w list < 1039db0002080097 < 10f965010208006a < 100d17d001080040 < 10cfe181010800dc < 285e7cc70100007b < 28f15bc7010000aa < 3a8220010000006c < OK Ignoring sensor 1039db0002080097 Ignoring sensor 10f965010208006a Ignoring sensor 100d17d001080040 Ignoring sensor 10cfe181010800dc Ignoring sensor 285e7cc70100007b Ignoring sensor 28f15bc7010000aa Toggling DS2413: 3a8220010000006c > 1w ds2413 set 3a8220010000006c 00 < OK > 1w ds2413 set 3a8220010000006c 11 < OK
The device is powered from the 1-wire bus supply, this removes the necessity to replace the batteries once a year. However, resets of the device have to be detected and handled properly to ensure that the boost button works as expected.
To do this, a detect_reboot command has been implemented on the onewire master. When a reset of the uC has occoured since this command was once triggered, this command replies with a 'reboot', otherwise with 'OK'.
Setting the Set Point
Spacemaster Bot
One of the ideas to set the Set Point is the spacemaster bot. Setting this value already remotely falls into the scope of the spacemaster and this this matches. Currently, two coarse commands have been implemented:
Marvin: help firstname.lastname@example.com: Available commands: restart, topic, kuschelig, cold
Kuschelig sets the temperature to 25 degrees celsius, cold to 5 degrees celsius. (Just for fun, of course. Those values and commands may be adjusted afterwards.) The values are written into on the bot server and delivered to the control script running on the space router via HTTP.
Please add firstname.lastname@example.com to your buddy list and contact nase*, alex or sdx23 (join our MUC to do so, see Communication) if you want to be able to control the temperature set point.
Space Control Panel
This is just an idea: One could build some panels which control basic functions of the hackerspace.
How to switch on/off the heating
- Read this page completely
- You must have registered your jabber id with the bot
- Switch on the spacemaster box in the space
- Tell the bot "kuschelig 22" for 22°C
- Switch spacemaster off when you leave. The bot will turn off the heating automatically.
- If in doubt contact Simone Heilmann

Since he is a tattooed, rap/R&B singer who embodies for many the "thug" lifestyle, it is easy to see Chris Brown as the face of abuse. As a threatening black man, we may feel more comfortable identifying his behaviour as dangerous than we do John Lennon's, despite his history of abuse. But the truth is that abuse happens in households of all racial, class, education and social backgrounds. I ask us to consider how much the image of Chris Brown as "thug rapper" made it easier to label him as an unrepentant abuser than other artists who are also guilty of the same crime.
Chris Brown's recent neck tattoo sparked yet another media firestorm. But hundreds of pieces have already been written about Chris Brown, which only fuel him. Maybe now is the time that we finally put a mark in the Chris Brown "lose" column, but channel our own anger, frustration and feelings of helplessness into actually helping. And for the sake of human rights, we can stop buying his music.

Compare great Lamborghini ABS System prices in Golders Green with Who Can Fix My Car.
All round good garage. With good mechanics
Stayed late on a bank holiday weekend, fixed my car promptly. Great service from great guys.
The problem was identified as lack of oil in the gearbox, after driving for a few hours there is oil all over the underside of the car, my usual mechanic who i have brought the car back has said that this should have been identified. I essentially paid £110 for nothing.
Alternator broke on weekend. Used this site and mobile car service responded straight away with a great price. Booked in for Monday morning and fixed by the aftetnoon, couldn't have asked for more. Thanks.
Quick and efficient service, was very attentive and friendly in offering advice on what needed to be done. I will be definitely using in the future
Robert contacted me for the work and explained to me exactly what was needed and time required. He also helped me book the appointment for Saturday. He answered all my queries clearly. On the day as agreed, they started work as soon as I reached the garage and the work was completed on time as previously mentioned. Read brake pads and sensor were changed. Brake fluid was replaced. They also inspected the front brakes and discs and even suggested when I would need to change it and did not scare or persuade me to change it right away like some other garage had quoted me. Overall it has been a pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend C&R Motors and their team. Thanks guys
Very quick, polite and efficient
Really easy to book. I took the car in and was completed within the time agreed. This was fantastic cos I had other appointments booked. I was able to be on time . I would definitely recommend C & R Moters Ltd. Great job.
Thoroughly satisfied with the work carried out at this garage. Job was completed quickly and properly. Customer service was excellent also. Highly recommended.

I had a great experience at Autowerke. They got back to me very fast with a great quote and when I arrived they had a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. They're a bit of a community hub as well so even local people and regular customers seem to pop in for an occasional chat. The work was done quickly and to a great standard. I will return there should I need any further work.
Did a good job, no problems
Good job!
Great quality and quick job, everything as described.
Good service, happy with the result.
I picked these chaps as they were reasonably close and had a good rating. I assumed they would call me as the email I received said but no one ever called and so I used someone else. I would give zero stars but the website won't let me.
This is an excellent local garage that I wish was more local to me - but worth the journey. Joe, who runs the office side of the business, is brilliant and reassuring (my car is extremely old). There were clear explanations at every stage and all the work was fast and efficient. I highly recommend this garage
Efficient service, repair as requested, competitive price, car left clean etc. Recommended

I know the respect I have, I don't need confirmation from you. anyone who truly understands this game respects me.

ELC Program on February 28 Covers "The Impact of Entrepreneurship on African American Economic Development & Wealth Creation: Historical View, Black Hair Care Industry."
February 17, 2012
The Entrepreneurial Leadership Program at Cheyney University is hosting the Spring ELC Series at the Marcus Foster Student Center on campus from 6 to 8 pm and are open to the public.
The series offers information from the experts on how to develop a successful business.
On Tuesday, February 28 - Earl Boyd & Ivey Ibrahin will discuss"The Impact of Entrepreneurship on African American Economic Development & Wealth Creation: Historical View, Black Hair Care Industry."
