See Hank doing mini T ala Lardy TT step. I have been working hard at softening my "back" command. At the end of the session it is very quiet. I was proud of Hank. When I first started reducing the volume I was getting some no goes. I had an issue with him today on the right overs for some reason unknown to me. Generally, this has been a strong point for him. I don't force on over so I went into a teaching mode after the second issue on the right over.
This is a long video, but I would appreciate any comments on how I handled the right over issue. I guess the photobucket times out at 10 minutes but I did another freebie to end the session.
I had a little looping on the sit whistle at the end of the sesssion. In this mornings session he went to the back pile about 18 times. So he was a tired little boy. So I am not concerned about the sit at the end of the session.
I made one mistake, I had my heeling stick in my off hand and reached across to stick him on a slow sit and he saw it coming.

It's been a very good year for Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG), which has gained 26% so far this year. But is this as good as it gets?
Longbow's Alton Stump thinks it is. He explains why he downgraded shares of Chipotle Mexican grill to Neutral from Buy:
Our outlook on Chipotle's fundamentals undoubtedly remains positive. Chipotle's impressive same-store sales recovery over the last 4-5 quarters was driven almost entirely by accelerated traffic, which we believe helped set the stage for Chipotle to implement a mid single-digit list price increase during late 2Q14.
Chipotle's industry-leading same-store sales growth potential, cash-on-cash return profile, double-digit new store story and loyal consumer following justify a multiple well ahead of its peer average. However, with Chipotle's shares trading ~35% higher since early May, we believe the company's positive fundamentals are already baked into Chipotle's share price.
Shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill have dropped 0.4% to $669.68 at 1:43 p.m. today.

Conference examines health care and immigration
Posted May 11, 2009; 07:09 p.m.
"What Is Ailing U.S.? Health Care and Immigration -- Access and Barriers" is the title of a conference that will take place from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, May 15, in the Friend Center Convocation Room.
The conference is the culmination of a two-year research project sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and spearheaded by sociology professor Alejandro Portes, director of the Princeton Center for Migration and Development. It will bring together top administrators, physicians, nurses, community activists, elected officials and academics, many of whom originally were interviewed as part of the research project, in a dialogue about key problems, solutions and policy recommendations regarding health care provision to underserved populations, including immigrants.
Ten health care providers in the south Florida, San Diego and greater Trenton areas will be represented in this program. Highlighted will be successful initiatives that could be used as models to extend health care services to underserved populations.
The conference is open to the public but reservations are recommended by contacting Nancy Doolan, associate director of the Center for Migration and Development, at email@example.com or (609) 258-3612.
The conference is sponsored by these Princeton units as well as the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation: Center for Migration and Development, Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, Program in Latin American Studies and University Center for Human Values.

5.78: Magnets
The train in this photo is called a maglev train. The word maglev stands for "magnetic levitation." Magnets push the train upward so it hovers, or levitates, above the track without actually touching it. This eliminates most of the friction acting against the train when it moves. Other magnets pull the train forward along the track. Because of all the magnets, the train can go very fast. It can fly over the tracks at speeds up to 480 kilometers (300 miles) per hour! What are magnets and how do they exert such force? In this article, you'll find out. You can also watch a video introduction to magnets at this URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y4JSp5U82I
Magnetic Poles
A magnet is an object that attracts certain materials such as iron. You're probably familiar with common bar magnets, like the one shown in the Figure below. Like all magnets, this bar magnet has north and south magnetic poles. The red end of the magnet is the north pole and the blue end is the south pole. The poles are regions where the magnet is strongest. The poles are called north and south because they always line up with Earth's north-south axis if the magnet is allowed to move freely. (Earth's axis is the imaginary line around which the planet rotates.)
Q: What do you suppose would happen if you cut the bar magnet pictured above along the line between the north and south poles?
A: Both halves of the magnet would also have north and south poles. If you cut each of the halves in half, all those pieces would have north and south poles as well. Pieces of a magnet always have both north and south poles no matter how many times you cut the magnet.
Magnetic Force and Magnetic Field
The force that a magnet exerts on certain materials, including other magnets, is called magnetic force. The force is exerted over a distance and includes forces of attraction and repulsion. North and south poles of two magnets attract each other, while two north poles or two south poles repel each other. A magnet can exert force over a distance because the magnet is surrounded by a magnetic field. In the 'Figure below, you can see the magnetic field surrounding a bar magnet. Tiny bits of iron, called iron filings, were placed under a sheet of glass. When the magnet was placed on the glass, it attracted the iron filings. The pattern of the iron filings shows the lines of force that make up the magnetic field of the magnet. The concentration of iron filings near the poles indicates that these areas exert the strongest force. To see an animated magnetic field of a bar magnet, go to this URL: http://elgg.norfolk.e2bn.org/jsmith112/files/68/149/Bar+magnet.swf
When two magnets are brought close together, their magnetic fields interact. You can see how they interact in the Figure below. The lines of force of north and south poles attract each other whereas those of two north poles repel each other. The animations at the following URL show how magnetic field lines change as two or more magnets move in relation to each other. http://www.coolmagnetman.com/magmotion.htm
- A magnet is an object that attracts certain materials such as iron. All magnets have north and south magnetic poles. The poles are regions where the magnet is strongest.
- The force that a magnet exerts is called magnetic force. The force is exerted over a distance and includes forces of attraction and repulsion. A magnet can exert force over a distance because the magnet is surrounded by a magnetic field.
- magnet: Object that attracts ferromagnetic materials such as iron.
- magnetic field: Area around a magnet where it exerts magnetic force.
- magnetic force: Force of attraction or repulsion exerted by a magnet.
- magnetic pole: North or south end of a magnet where the magnet exerts the most force.
At the following URL, take the animated quiz to check your understanding of magnetic field interactions. http://elgg.norfolk.e2bn.org/jsmith112/files/68/151/Law+of+magnetism.swf

People often talk about having their cars "fully insured." But for those who don't really know the ins and outs of auto insurance terminology, exactly what does that mean and what type of coverages should they consider?
While there are many auto insurance options you can choose, there's really no such thing as "full coverage" for your car.
The good news is that there are a lot of things you can do to make sure you have auto insurance that fits your needs and helps to protect you against a variety of perils that can cause losses. If you are conscientious and want to make sure you have all the types of coverage that are available, here is a list of several of the common auto coverages you may want to consider:
Liability coverage is typically included in all insurance policies, and it protects you from damage you cause to others or to property as a result of an accident for which you are at fault. Typically, the liability coverage in an auto insurance policy will contain three limits: the maximum payment for bodily injury per person, the maximum payable for bodily injury per accident and the maximum payable for property damage.
As you probably already know, if you're buying insurance, all states require some level of liability coverage. Find out your state's auto insurance requirements here.
Someone who is looking to obtain auto insurance coverage for their vehicle may want to go beyond the state requirements and buy a policy with higher liability limits. This may increase your premiums, but it will also give you greater coverage in the event of an accident.
Collision coverage and comprehensive coverage are two optional types of coverage on your insurance policy, although if you are still paying off an auto loan or if you have a lease on your vehicle, your lien holder or financing company almost always requires these coverages.
Collision coverage typically pays for damage to your vehicle if it is involved in a collision with another vehicle or if it hits an object. It's different from liability coverage, which typically relates to damage to property belonging to another party involved in an accident you caused or bodily injury to another person.
Comprehensive coverage protects you against losses caused by covered perils not related to a collision. These perils often include storms and natural disasters, such as a hurricane or a tornado, vandalism, theft, falling objects, animal damage or a broken window, but you should check with your agent to make sure what is included in your specific policy.
If your goal is to pay as little out of pocket as possible in the event of a claim, then you may want to consider lowering your deductible. This will raise your insurance premiums, but you will have the peace of mind of knowing that you won't have to pay a high deductible to repair or replace your car in the event of a covered loss.
Another option is to take out uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. If you're in an accident and the other driver is deemed at fault, that driver's liability insurance will usually cover the damage to your car—unless that driver doesn't have car insurance. In that case, in some states, your collision coverage could pay for the damage to your car. If you don't live in one of those states, however, you may opt to get uninsured motorist coverage so that if you end up in a situation like this, it will pay for the damage to your vehicle.
Underinsured motorist coverage takes effect if the other driver has insurance, but its limits are not high enough to cover the damage to your vehicle or to cover injuries from the accident.
Medical payments coverage is an optional coverage that offers protection in various scenarios, which may include an accident that happens when you are in your own vehicle, an accident that happens when you are in someone else's vehicle or an accident in which you are walking and are hit by a car. It can also cover any passengers in your vehicle or any family members who are driving the insured vehicle at the time of the accident. Click here for information on what medical payments coverage typically covers.
One thing to take into consideration if you're buying medical payments coverage is the limit, which can vary. If you're looking to get the best coverage possible, you can get a higher limit—sometimes up to $100,000.
Depending on the state, Personal Injury Protection coverage can help to cover medical expenses resulting from a covered loss, and in some cases, it can also help you pay for other expenses while you're healing. These expenses can include child care services, income continuation, loss of services and even funeral expenses.
As with medical payments coverage, if you're looking to be as covered as possible, you should consider getting Personal Injury Protection with a higher limit.
You may not know this, but Rental Car Reimbursement is not automatically included in most insurance policies. Rental reimbursement coverage can reimburse you for the cost of renting a car while yours is being repaired, under certain limits. You should check with your agent if you're interested in this coverage.
Worried about what would happen if you get stranded on the road? You may want to consider Towing and Labor Costs coverage, which can help reimburse you for towing and other basic expenses from roadside assistance.
Another optional coverage is Sound System coverage. This may be an option you want to consider if you have installed a high-end sound system into your car.
So, now you know that you can choose from a variety of options when buying your auto insurance policy to make sure that you have good coverage in the event that you need to make a claim.

The term fontinalis comes from the Latin fontīnālis (of or from a spring or fountain).
The brook trout is native to small streams, creeks, lakes, and spring ponds. Some brook trout, referred to as sea-run brook trout, are anadromous. It is native to a wide area of eastern North America but increasingly confined to higher elevations southward in the Appalachian Mountains to northern Georgia, Canada from the Hudson Bay basin east, the Great Lakes–Saint Lawrence system, and the upper Mississippi River drainage as far west as eastern Iowa.
Dimensions Up to 21" (53 cm); 14 1/2 lbs (6.6 kg).
Habitat Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes, Tidepools, Rivers & streams.
Range Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Southwest, California, Northwest, Eastern Canada, Western Canada.

My Case For Alistair Overeem vs Badr Hari In 2011
- Written by Dave Walsh
With 2011 quickly approaching, fight fans begin to look to the new year and anticipate the blockbuster matches that may come to fruition. MMA fans want Georges St. Pierre vs Anderson Silva. Boxing fans want Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather. While those matches are well and good, none compares to a third meeting between K-1 World Grand Prix Champion Alistair 'The Reem' Overeem and Badr 'Golden Boy' Hari.
For the uninitiated, let's do a quick rundown of the history between these two iconic fighters.
Alistair and Badr first fought at Dynamite!! 2008. The match was made under the assumption that Alistair would first fight Badr in a K-1 match and then they would fight again under MMA rules. This gives each party involved a fight under the rules that they're most comfortable in. Alistair had fought in K-1 a handful of times before but he didn't have a lot of success and focused mainly on MMA. The terms were agreed upon and the fight went down on December 31st. Alistair shocked the world and defeated Badr with a left hook that KO'd the Moroccan. Following the KO, Badr Hari wouldn't agree to fight Alistair in an MMA fight. In a twist of fate, Overeem was elected by the fans to appear in the 2009 K-1 World Grand Prix Final 16. Alistair took full advantage of this opportunity and defeated kickboxing legend Peter Aerts to secure his spot in the Final 8. He would go on to meet Badr Hari in the semi-finals in what would be one of the most highly anticipated fights of all time. The energy inside the Saitama Super Arena was at a fever pitch for the rematch of these two giants of the sport. This fight would go differently, however, as Hari defeated Overeem with a high kick in the first round. Evening the score and giving Badr the vindication he so desperately wanted.
Fast forward a year and much has changed. Badr Hari has had multiple run-ins with the law while Alistair has methodically taken over the heavyweight landscape of both MMA and K-1. He has become a superstar in Japan and American audiences are starting to take notice of his skills with his first round dismantling of Brett Rogers in Strikeforce. Alistair currently holds the Strikeforce Heavyweight Championship as well as the K-1 World Grand Prix title. The first ever combat athlete to hold two titles in different fight sports simultaneously. Badr, on the other hand, was disqualified in his last fight for stomping Hesdy Gerges while he was down just like he did to Remy Bonjasky in the 2008 K-1 WGP final. The contrast between these two fighters is apparent — one comes from relative obscurity to dominate while the other is experiencing a fall from grace. But I believe this can change.
If sports history has taught us anything it's that winning covers a multitude of sin. Ask Ray Lewis, Kobe Bryant, or Michael Vick. Sports fan love winners and while they may not absolve athletes of their off-the-field ills, they will forget them long enough to cheer heartily for the athletes they love. There's a separation of the athlete from the person that allows us to see them only as who they are when they're on the field or in the ring. Badr Hari can benefit from this same practice. Beat Alistair Overeem and suddenly fight fans the world over forget about how many bouncers you sent to the hospital.
His return is highly anticipated by kickboxing fans. Badr is one of the sports biggest figures and a return match against Alistair Overeem would send the sport of kickboxing into a frenzy. The publicity created by such an event is priceless for a promoter. The kind of buzz FEG, who is the parent company of K-1, could desperately use.
There has been much speculation as to the future of K-1, in the last year. As we saw with the demise of PRIDE Fighting Championships, when you lose the support of Tokyo Broadcasting System, your demise as a company is soon to follow. Money troubles, waning interest from viewers and the rumored loss of support from TBS had the K-1 world anxious and fearing the worst. The Ultimate Fighting Championship once found themselves in a similar situation before a fight between Stephan Bonnar and Forrest Griffin turned into a barn-burner and sent fan interest through the roof. Things only got better for the UFC after that fight and they're still enjoying the benefits. Luckily, it's being reported that the financial troubles K-1 experienced are now a thing of the past and the future is bright. Let's hope so.
Even with renewed financial backing, the need is still there for a blockbuster fight to get fans watching and talking and no fight is more anticipated than a grudge match. Two fighters that are fighting for more than a win or money. These are two fighters with a history and something to prove.
I can think of no fight that is more highly anticipated than a third match between Alistair Overeem and Badr Hari. It has every story line you could ask for and there's no question about it being an all out war. Just look at the last two fights for proof.

Recently, I had the opportunity to read an interesting (and might I add – hilarious) book called Educating Esmé written by Esmé Raji Codell. Ms. Codell is a nationally renowned advocate for literacy and literature-based instruction and is "one of the nation's most sought-after voices for empowering teachers" (People Magazine) and a "Superstar of Education" (Scholastic Instructor).
Educating Esmé is the exuberant diary of Esmé Raji Codell's first year teaching in a Chicago public school. Fresh-mouthed and free-spirited, the irrepressible Madame Esmé—as she prefers to be called—does the cha-cha during multiplication tables, roller-skates down the hallways, and puts on rousing performances with at-risk students in the library. Her diary opens a window into a real-life classroom from a teacher's perspective. While battling bureaucrats, gang members, abusive parents, and her own insecurities, this gifted young woman reveals what it takes to be an exceptional teacher.
The diary itself is exactly the same as it was when it was first released , but there's a new foreword by Katherine Paterson, author of "Bridge to Teribithia", and a meaty guide that's been added called "Hit the Ground Running," which I created to help new teachers do just that. The most common question I'm asked is, "Do you have any advice for new teachers?" Now readers will find over twenty-five really specific and hopefully pragmatic pieces of advice and also a comprehensive shopping list for the first-year teacher.
I am not a teacher and have never had any desire in this world to be one – but I am a parent and I know that children are curious, crazy and sometimes obnoxious little beings. This book shows kids in every one of those lights and shows how one teacher took it all in stride, made learning fun and taught her students valuable life lessons. I would've LOVED to have "Madame Esmé" as a teacher when I was young! Esmé is young, hip, inventive, sassy and an amazing writer. I was hysterical reading some of the comments that came out of her fifth graders' mouths!
Educating Esmé is a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone who comes in any contact with children. Parents, teachers and care providers alike will benefit from the lessons and humor in this book. I know a few teachers and I know that they give 110% of their hearts to their students. They spend their own money to try and make their classrooms fun and engaging and often do not get any help (or credit … or assistance …) from the schools they teach in.
Teachers are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT and should be treated as such. It was eye opening to me to see just how many brick walls they run into trying to teach our children – and I'm not even talking about over-crowded classrooms. It's high time we let our teachers teach and stop making them teach the answers to standardized tests. Our children need to learn – not determine how much money a school earns based on how high they score on a boring, hours long test. *steps off soapbox*
Esmé has been interviewed on CBS This Morning, CNN, CSPAN's Book Talk, and NPR. The author of "How to Get Your Child to Love Reading" as well as numerous award-winning books for children, Esmé lives with her husband and son in Chicago, where she spent many years as an educator in Chicago public schools and now runs the popular children's literature web site PlanetEsme, and the unique literary salon, The PlanetEsme Bookroom.
You can purchase Educating Esmé: Diary of a Teacher's First Year from Amazon!
Big Thanks to JBH Marketing & PR for the chance to read this book!

2.29: Atomic Nucleus
An atomic bomb explodes and generates a huge mushroom cloud. The tremendous energy released when the bomb explodes is incredibly destructive. Where does all the energy come from? The answer is the nucleus of the atom.
At the Heart of It All
The nucleus (plural, nuclei) is a positively charged region at the center of the atom. It consists of two types of subatomic particles packed tightly together. The particles are protons, which have a positive electric charge, and neutrons, which are neutral in electric charge. Outside of the nucleus, an atom is mostly empty space, with orbiting negative particles called electrons whizzing through it. The Figure below shows these parts of the atom.
Size and Mass of the Nucleus
The nucleus of the atom is extremely small. Its radius is only about 1/100,000 of the total radius of the atom. If an atom were the size of a football stadium, the nucleus would be about the size of a pea! You can see another sports analogy comparing the size of the nucleus and atom at this URL:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o-FsxAkvZk (1:06)
Electrons have virtually no mass, but protons and neutrons have a lot of mass for their size. As a result, the nucleus has virtually all the mass of an atom. Given its great mass and tiny size, the nucleus is very dense. If an object the size of a penny had the same density as the nucleus of an atom, its mass would be greater than 30 million tons! You can learn more about the size and mass of the nucleus at this URL:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfy0sIVfVOY (2:03)
Holding It All Together
Particles with opposite electric charges attract each other. This explains why negative electrons orbit the positive nucleus. Particles with the same electric charge repel each other. This means that the positive protons in the nucleus push apart from one another. So why doesn't the nucleus fly apart? An even stronger force—called the strong nuclear force—holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus. You can learn more about these forces in the nucleus by watching the video at this URL:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdFsb2sWrW4 (6:27)
Q: Can you guess why an atomic bomb releases so much energy when it explodes?
A: When an atomic bomb explodes, the nuclei of atoms undergo a process called fission, in which they split apart. This releases the huge amount of energy that was holding together subatomic particles in the nucleus.
- The nucleus is a small, dense region at the center of the atom. It consists of positive protons and neutral neutrons, so it has an overall positive charge.
- The nucleus is just a tiny part of the atom, but it contains virtually all of the atom's mass.
- The strong nuclear force holds together protons and neutrons in the nucleus and overcomes the electric force of repulsion between protons.
- nucleus: Tiny region in the center of an atom that contains protons and neutrons and makes up almost all of the atom's mass.
Watch this short video about how the nucleus was discovered, and then answer the questions below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8RuO2ekNGw (0:48)
- Describe the scientific procedure that was used to discover the nucleus.
- What evidence led scientists to conclude that atoms consist mostly of empty space with a very small, positively charged mass at the center?
- Reflect on the method used in the experiment. Why was it important to send positive—as opposed to neutral or negative—particles toward the gold foil?
- Describe the nucleus of the atom.
- Why is the nucleus positive in charge?
- Explain why the nucleus is very dense.
- Outline the forces that act on particles in the nucleus.
- If you made a three-dimensional model of an atom and its nucleus, how would you represent the atom? How would you represent nucleus? Explain your choices.

Bay side or South Side
I am going to make a trip tonight at 1:00am to the cape with a few friends. What do you think would be best. I will be on foot so I was thinking Barnsable harbor or Brewster flats(the hole)or maybe the south side, herring river? What do you think would be best. We should hit the last 3 hours of the outgoing. One guy I am going with is from Utah and has never caught a striper. What do you think?
RE:Bay side or South Side
Nate -
Yep - there are BIG bass in shallow flats on the bayside right now... <b>BUT</b>
Since you're night fishing with no moon my recommendation is "don't go to Brewster flats". We like having you around. Night fishing on the flats can be deadly, especially if this is your first time across the trenches old man winter has sculpted out to the channel edge this year - and with no moon, radical temp variation and potential pea soup fog, first timers along, tempting incoming tide just after dawn when the fish will be going nuts and making you want to stay out there slaying them as they come over the flats... I'd wait till the weekend for a 4am start fishing through the drop on that -1.8 low! Big minus, extra time out there.
Barnstable Harbor would be smarter because you don't really go out on a limb in most places. The rocks at Sesuit would be a great place to introduce your friend to stripers... work from left to right and be working clousers with deep slow twitches in the hole to the left of the jetty from the last bar at low tide / dawn, I think it would work. With the cold water temps they are probably in the estuary and will be dropping back with a vengeance during the ebb tide, to the right of the jetty from the tight boat channel down the flat to the base of the jetty, sand eel / silverside patterns on a sinking line when the current is running. If it were the start of the outgoing I'd recommend Chapin, but with this tide...
You might find some giant fish backing out of Dowses, laying in the 20 hole right in front of the lot as low tide approaches.
Wianno at dawn, outgoing - you know the drill from when we were there last, no pogies though - the forage is small / or large herring.
Hardings - the death march, but sweep the beach (casting / stepping) to the outlet of Stage. Not the best place at dead low but fish deep and thorough around every current ridge and it's likely that you'll find big stuff.
Shoals around Herring river have been giving up a lot of keepers but during off-hour high tides. You can wade out there closer to the edges at low but with no moon... not my first choice. Work over to the halogens (west) and you might find a blitz of epic proportions under the lights! Of course by that time theuy are probably turned off. Not a good choice overall for this venture.
Bass River... with the cold water the key is to go up into the warmer creeks. For moderate action, lots of rats with a few in the keeper class you should consider parking at the creek near the circle, walking into the estuary just past the boat docks and fishing that whole backwater as far as you can as the tide recedes. This has been much better at night after a daytime warm up but there is lots of bait and some real chunky fish in there due to the cold outside water temps. You may find some action on the drop fishing on the shoals that expose at the base of the big west dennis jetty, or if you're lucky just sweep the beach (better with partial moon) until you find some fish. Big fish have been in the area recently, herring are the preferred forage.
Parkers - my suspicion is that there are big fish up inside the peat banks and deep inlets between rte 28 and the mouth. At low, sometimes you'll see fish feeding down by the lifeguard station just off that little mini-jetty, but for the most part it's a high tide location out on the beach. If you hit it go up inside.
Chatham - A great fishery for night time is the beach at Chatham light. I'd walk north and start at the rockpile, then work it down to the bar which has really changed over the winter. It almost appears as if you could walk out to the last bouy as the tide drops. You can park free of hassle until 9am + grace period, so you'd be covered. The current runs hard, use sinking lines and flies that can get deep. Pay special attention to the deep trench just before the boat channel turns toward the spit. The fish often run along the edge just a short cast away.
I envy you, but not for choices!
Good luck,
RE:Bay side or South Side
Juro - stop it! I feel like I should be paying for this
Awesome info!
RE:Bay side or South Side
Hey Nate... what did you end up doing, and was there anything happenin? OK - after you catch up on sleep is fine
Al - I feel the same way about your help on the claves over the last couple of years! Thanks.

31 Jan / You Should Probably Know…I Love You
It's true. The more I walk this path of healing and love, the more I feel the truth that we are all connected – our healing circles and series' are a huge reminder of this truth as well. I also realize that I can only love you as much as I love myself (for more on this check out Brene Brown's The Gifts of Imperfection).
Big, right?
We are living in a culture that says we're not quite lovable unless we look like this (insert whatever you tell yourself the standard of beauty is), we make this much money, we have a partner who also looks like _____ and makes this much money and is lust-worthy by others. Oh and yes, of course, that we are happy every minute of every day.
And while logically we know this is all crap – not to mention completely impossible (we came here to experience the full range of emotions!) – I know I find myself succumbing to its impact on various occasions. You know, looking in the mirror wishing that if my _____ (belly, triceps, etc.) were thinner I would have the courage to wear that sexy outfit that's hiding in my closet. Or emotionally eating a bag of raw, organic cookies (I polished off a bag of Go Raw Lemon Cookies the other week – I'm still trying to decide if that was emotional eating or just really amazing, healthy cookies!) or whatever bag your hand is in.
We all have moments of engaging in this less than self-loving behavior. But what I think we forget is that this less-than-self-loving behavior makes it tougher for us to love those around us. If I hate myself I can't love you.
When I love myself, I love everyone. When I am connected to the love within me, I am connected to the love within us all. So when "tragedy" occurs or "bad things" happen, I see the divine truth of the matter – we are all here for a purpose and things unfold exactly as intended. Nothing is ever going "wrong" in the eyes of our divine, true self. When I am not in a place of self-loving, I am irritated, angry, frustrated and unable to understand why things are the way they are. I blame. I look for what's wrong. I am without connection to my divine self.
BodyTalk has been my reminder of this fact. I absolutely believe it is a path to wholeness and a path to fully self-loving. With it, we receive direct guidance and healing from our innate wisdom – who we really are – the part of us that knows that getting sick, our friend yelling at us, a break-up, losing a job, losing a loved one – all of it has a divine purpose. I am honored to witness these reminders each day with my one-on-one clients and during my healing circles/series.
Everything, and I mean, every thing, is unfolding exactly as it is meant to. Because it is. Our job is to connect to our divinity within, to the love within so that we can share and feel it for everyone around us. BodyTalk is one of the paths to this self-loving wholeness.
And you can do something right now to begin that journey back to fully loving yourself, therefore loving all of those around you, and loving the world and all that exists in it.
- Go to a mirror, right now.
- Look into that mirror.
- Make solid eye contact with yourself.
- Look deeply into those beautiful eyes. Say, "I love you, ____."
- Say it again.
- Feel the love from your soul shining forth to you.
- Observe your mind trying to insert its less than self-loving story. Say, "I love you ____" again.
- Now, go over to the person nearest to you and say, "I love you." They don't have to get it or understand it or say it back. Just share that love shining forth from you.
And finally, I will leave you with this quote from Marianne Williamson's new book The Law of Divine Compensation which illustrates that love is really what we're all here for:
"Love makes us wake up in the morning with a sense of purpose and a flow of creative ideas. Love floods our nervous system with positive energy, making us far more attractive to prospective employers, clients, and creative partners. Love fills us with a powerful charisma, enabling us to produce new ideas and new projects, even within circumstances that seem to be limited. Love leads us to atone for our errors and clean up the mess when we've made mistakes. Love leads us to act with impeccability, integrity, and excellence. Love leads us to serve, to forgive, and to hope. Those things are the opposite of a poverty consciousness; they're the stuff of spiritual wealth creation."
Oh, and btw, I love you!
Get in on the self-loving and relationship loving action here.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Once again I learn something new on the board. Big midges - still sounds like an oxymoron to me.
I've tried that painfully slow fishing for Lahotian cutthroat on Soap lake in Washington with the only success being the exercise I got kicking my float tube around. I don't think I was fishing nearly slow enough.
That cold water hatch story reminds me of the March Brown (R. Haarupi) hatches which occur in the early spring on the rocky streams and rivers of the UK. For several seasons each April we took a week on the Teviot, a tributory of the Tweed to fish primarily for Sea run Brown Trout and Grayling. April in Scotland can be quite cold but the best hatches would occur when the wind started to howl down from the North. The colder it got and the harder it blew, the more intense the hatch would become and the erstwhile lifeless river would boil with rising trout - some of a good size to around three pounds. As the wind dropped and the temperature started to rise, the hatch would die off and the trout would simply disappear.
Midges can certainly get big. In Eire they have a large black midge called the Duck Fly - up to 1 inch in length - which is responsible for some spectacular rises on the western lakes.
The way I understand it is both lakes and streams have hatches of midges which are all chronomids. The hatches in rivers are usually of the smaller variety than what you would get in a lake. In lakes where they are found they can make up to 90% of a trouts diet.
Eastern Washington and BC lakes are well known for at times prolific hatches of these insects and guys who imitate these hatches have there own unique way of fishing. Most people think it is mind numbing by I respect it for its effectiveness.
Here is an article about it:
Basically you fish an indicator on a long leader and adjust the depth of the fly as you fish until you find the right depth. The retrieve is a painfully slow hand twist(the mantra is you can always slow it down). It can sometimes take 20 minutes to retrieve a 60 ft cast.
Sounds fun right? Well it can be. Once you get dialed into the right depth and retrieve you can just nail fish after fish. I have seen guys talk 30 fish right next to me while I get skunked.
Needless to say I have had some luck with this technique but my patience is usually too short and I lose interested.
However if you can stare at an indicator for 10 hours a day it just may be the method for you.
|Do midges get that big? I've always thought size 18 was a big midge.
The insects that you are seeing are Midges.That is about all that will be hatching this time of year in a pond.In the fall a griffith's gnat should do the trick.In the spring an emerger will take more fish.Chironomidae [spelling?] hatches are prolific on a warm cloudy day in the fall.
Name that Bug
About 3 weeks ago I was fishing a Pond in Plymouth, MA it was pretty chilly out and I was paddling around in the yak when all of a sudden I am surrounded by these insects. First of all I'm suprised that bugs are hatching in the weather but I guess that was just my own misconception about insect hatches only occuring in warmer weather. Anyway these things are pretty meaty about a 1/2 inch long, gray and fuzzy with black stripes. Any guesses?

Yes, that's the actual title. Even though she would probably never be caught dead watching Lifetime, Lady Gaga is nevertheless the latest star that the women's network has decided to highlight in an undoubtedly dramatic biopic. As you might've guessed, the singer/superstar has nothing to do with the process; the story will be adapted from the unauthorized biography Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga.
So, here's the vital question: Who will they cast to play Stefani Germanotta/Gaga? We've made some educated guesses—mostly actresses, but with a few celebrities thrown into the mix for reasons you'll quickly understand. Of course, because it's Lifetime you're unlikely to see any of these stars sinking that low. But then you'll be seeing some unknown anyway, so for the time being enjoy our fantasy-world predictions!

I recently spent three days doing speaking events in San Diego. During that time I had the opportunity to visit a most incredible and unusual place. It's called Biz Town and its located inside the Junior Achievement headquarters for the San Diego area.
I met Joanne Pastula. She is the President and CEO of Junior Achievement in San Diego.
As I toured a modern, custom-built, two-story rendition of a business community, Joanne explained to me that we were in JA Biz Town. It is a program for 5th graders that enables them to come and run a real city for a day.
"This is kind of like going to Disneyland and running Disneyland. Except these kids, we have about 120 today, are actually running 21 different businesses as adults," related Joanne.
I learned that day that Junior Achievement, in Biz Town, has a way of teaching the visiting youngsters how to pretend to be grownups. For example, there is a bank where the kids can get "money" which they can then spend in various stores.
As Joanne further explained to me, "The kids today have two jobs. They need to work in the business that they were hired to work in. We have 20 CEO's, 20 CFO's. We have doctors and attorneys. We have all kinds of people. And then the kids get paid for doing their job. They then get to go out on a break and spend money."
I asked Joanne about such facilities in other parts of the world. She explained to me that Junior Achievement has 27 such facilities around the globe – two in Japan, one in London. Most of them are in the United States.
Biz Town in San Diego is the only one for Junior Achievement in California.
I was so impressed with what Joanne and Junior Achievement have created for these 5th graders in San Diego that I encourage you to get involved in your community. We can all find ways to mentor young people to help them grow up to be responsible and successful adults. Junior Achievement is a great way to do so.
I hope to see you Wednesday morning on Lifetime Television on The Balancing Act, 7-8 a.m. Easter and Pacific time.
If you wish to book me for a speaking event, my number is 619-723-3007.
You are special. You are unique. You are destined for greatness. You are a Champion!

Coping with the decline of a loved one...
October 03, 2012, 02:35:54 AM »
Way back in 1993, when I was a sophomore in high school, my family was going through incredibly tough times. My dad had been laid off from the steel mill, and was working for a youth organization that was supposed to be paying him a salary, but in three years had only managed to pay him a total of roughly $13,000. We were scraping by, just barely and I remember the "horizons/gifted" program was going to take a field trip to the local science center. I turned in a form saying that I could not go, and let the teacher know that we couldn't afford the $15 fee for the trip. A week later I was informed that my trip was being paid for by one Mr. Morgan, the schools retired choral director who had worked at the school for over 40 years. Evidently Mr. Morgan lived by the motto of paying it forward, and was always on the look out for kids he could help.
I vividly remember the field trip, the Carnegie Science Center had just recently brought in a World War 2 submarine as a new permanent exhibit, and Mr. Morgan was ecstatic to go through the tour. Mr Morgan had served as a chaplain's assistant during World War 2...we spent hours walking through the submarine, and sitting on the benches at the river bank, as Mr. Morgan regaled me with tales of the war. From that day forward, Mr. Morgan...Daniel Stewart Morgan took me under his wing, calling me his adopted grand son. In the spring and summer, he would hire me to cut his grass, which amounted to me using one push mower while he used the other, usually paying me $50 for an hours work, which would then turn to a hearty meal at a local restaurant, where he would tell me more of his childhood int he 1920's, and even more about the war.
Stew, as he prefers to be called, took it upon himself to teach me how to drive, often giving me pointers based upon how he would avoid craters in the roads in Germany while driving the chaplain's jeep...the man is the best driver I have ever known. In 1994, I had to honor of driving from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia with Stew to visit the chaplain, who would die a mere a few days after we visited.
Most times, Stew would take a student under his wing until they graduated, but for me, we had become family. When I went off to college, while it was local, it was still over an hours drive from home. Stew would come visit me 3 times a week, and take me to dinner. He always made sure I had new clothes, and as many school supplies as I needed. I remember in my junior year of college, not knowing how I would afford my books, let alone room and board...getting a call from the administration office, letting me know that Mr. Morgan had written a check for my room and board, and after thanking him with all I could offer, simply words from the bottom of my heart, he took me to the bookstore and bought every single text book I needed.
In 2000, my wife and I were married, Stew was convinced that I would simply forget about him, after all that is what most people in his life had done...they took his help and then left...but not me. I owed a debt I knew I could never repay...a debt he would never ask to be repaid. He shared none of my blood, but he was more family than most...since returning from our honeymoon in June of 2000, either my wife or I have talked with Stew at least once a day, and often would share a meal once a week.
In 2006, Stew made the decision that he would sell his house and move in to a retirement village...as he would say he was getting too old to keep up with a house, and he could die any day, after all he was 86 years old. Despite the move, we have remained close. In 2010, his memory started to go...the doctors at the VA took away his license out of fear not that he would hurt someone, but that he would get somewhere and not remember how to get home.
Fast forward to one week ago today, on my birthday, spent away from my family for work, and I get a call that Stew had a mini-stroke and he was in the hospital. His memory fading even quicker. This evening he couldn't remember what had happened to him, how long ago it happened, or even remember my name. My fear is it won't be long now. My daughters are begging to go see "Papa Stew" as the call him, they don't want him to go see Jesus in heaven, they say.
It is odd, I have lost grandparents in the past, and never shed a tear...yet just typing this I am sobing at the thought of losing Stew...even if mentally I already have.
I'm not really looking for anything, other than to get this off my chest. It is no lie that he is part of the greatest generation to have ever lived.

Wow, he sounds like a fantastic human being. Clearly he is a huge influence in your life and when hes gone he will leave a hole that can never be filled. Just remember how blessed you were to have him and that he himself has lived a very full and giving life. People like that are rare indeed, celebrate what he has brought to yours and so many other lives.

Thanks for sharing that. Sounds like this was an encounter that was planned rather than just a random meeting.
I don't know where you are on spiritual matters, but I believe "Stew" was a divine encounter that was meant to give you hope
in a hopeless situation. You were blessed in deed to have been "given" this man as a mentor-confidant.
What a great testimony to the good that's in this World. While others would try to tell us otherwise.
The "stews" of this world are indeed Angels sent to help us along the way. Sounds drippy, but I believe it.
It's in us to...

I certainly do believe that Stew was put in to my life as an answer to prayers, and has blessed me more than I can comprehend...I just hope to be able to do the same someday for someone else and pay it forward.

Good. There are times when crying is appropriate. Reading this got me. Thanks.
Be grateful for such wonderful memories and pay it forward just as stew taught you to do.

Thanks for sharing that. Too bad I just ate some onions so the text is kind of blurry.
Best wishes through this difficult time. But in the long run you will realize that there is nothing really sad about someone who has lived a long life reaching the end, especially if the end doesn't involve any suffering and is relatively quick. They will always be with you in your heart anyway. And someday you will see them again.

To lighten the thread...just a few things Stew has told me/said in the last 19 years...while there is a wealth of information swimming in my head, these stand out.
Whenever someone begins a sentence with "They Say", tell them They Say are a bunch of liars!
Spoonerisms - At an old, well established Presbyterian church, a new usher was serving his very first Sunday. The church, being so old, had many assigned pews, so seating the regular members was rather easy. As the morning rolled along, someone new arrived to the church while the usher was seating someone, and the new person took an assigned seat. Nervously, the usher approached to ask the new woman to move, but in his nervousness butchered his statement by saying: "Mardon me padam, but this pie is occupewed, may I sew you to a sheet in the chack of the burch, it's a cheautiful burch, many thinkle peep so!" - As an aside I can say this flawlessly at this point.
Sitting in a restaurant, a rather large woman walked by..."40 axe handles my ass...maybe if the axe was built for the hands of Paul Bunyon...that woman is bigger than most of the cows we had on our farm!
Yet again, sitting in a restaurant, and a woman sits down in the booth behind us, wearing a god awful hat..."That hat looks like something she bought at Sears, while Roebuck was out of town!" - I never did quite understand that one, other than to assume it meant the hat was ugly as sin.

Sounds like he has been a great friend and mentor to you. Personally, I value that more than any blood relation. There's always the chance he will recover a bit from the stroke. At any rate, hopefully, you will be in a position one day to help others the way he helped you.

Echoing prior sentiments, thank you for sharing such strong and moving memories. Such special people seem to be a rarity, making their impact on one's life even more lasting. While life and health are finite, fortunately memories are not. You and your family are in our thoughts.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRKA) (BRKB) said today that it's buying back 9,200 of its Class A shares from "the estate of a long-time shareholder," paying $131,000 for each share.
What's interesting about the repurchase — and what may be causing the stock to rise more than 2.5% this morning — is the statement accompanying the move:
The Board of Directors authorized this purchase coincident with raising the price limit for repurchases to 120% of book value. Berkshire may purchase additional shares in the market or through direct offerings at no more than 120% of book value.
Warren Buffett had signaled earlier this year that while he was fine with Berkshire paying 110% of book value for share repurchases, he'd be comfortable with a "somewhat higher" level. Today, we're seeing that put into action, suggesting a more aggressive approach to buybacks.

TRU on I-25 and Highway 7 had the new 12" Anakin-to-Vader and the Anakin-to-Vader Ultimate FX lightsaber. So at least things are getting out there.

Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.
"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." --Alberto Alessi

My favorite hunting girls. My daughter came home from college and said "Can I go watch you and Miley hunt?" We ended up going out several times and my daughter loved it. We were in a pass shooting area and usually got 3-4 birds in a few hours of hunting. My daughter has such I good eye for spotting game, it was nice to have her there spotting for me. I love the pic of the 2 of them as Miley was watching for ducks as Nichole is hugging her.

There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace ........If one has cut, split, hauled, and piled his own good oak, and let his mind work the while, he will remember much about where the heat comes from, and with a wealth of detail denied to those who spend the weekend in town astride a radiator.

Not sure why you were surprised - the Due schematic shows +5V on the SPI and ICSP headers.
I don't know. In any case, the idea of backward shield compatibility was a broken one from the outset. Perhaps this is just a quirky consequence of the implementation of what was basically an irredeemably bad idea in the first place.
IOREF. This pin on the Arduino board provides the voltage reference with which the microcontroller operates. A properly configured shield can read the IOREF pin voltage and select the appropriate power source or enable voltage translators on the outputs for working with the 5V or 3.3V.
So you not using the unofficial Due pinout diagram then?

WASHINGTON - For one night, at least, the Washington Capitals looked like the team everyone knows they can be. Alexander Semin scored two goals for the first time this season, Alex Ovechkin recorded two points in a game for the first time in 23 contests, and Tomas Vokoun made 31 saves in his first start in over two weeks, as the Caps romped to a 4-1 win inside Verizon Center. "It was a very important game for us, especially after losing like that in Buffalo," said captain Alex Ovechkin. "I think everybody was concentrated and we just did an unbelievably good job. All lines, offensively and in the neutral zone too." Funny, how that works. Play a complete game, you might just win a few of them.
New York owned most of the opportunities early, occupying the Washington zone for long stretches through a very good forecheck. The Caps attempted a push back with a nice shift from their third line, but Brooks Laich, left open in the top of the slot, missed the top right hand corner with his effort. But the Caps got a lucky break when a bad clearing pass by the Rangers stalled at the blue line, allowing Jeff Halpern to walk in and take a shot on Marin Biron. Biron could not control the rebound, and Marcus Johansson was there to bang it home at 8:18.
The Caps' good fortune took a nosedive three minutes later however when an awful turnover by Karl Alzner led to a great scoring chance and a penalty against the defenseman. Washington was able to kill off the penalty, but John Erskine was called for tripping soon after taking down Mike Rupp in the defensive zone. Again, DC killed the penalty, but gave up the equalizer after a Ryan Callahan shot block gave the Rangers a two-on-one that Brandon Dubinsky finished cleanly over the glove of Tomas Vokoun.
Washington got a power play with 1:41 left in the frame, and set up very well with puck movement that gave them several golden chances, most notably a puck that floated over Troy Brouwer's stick when he had a wide open net on the doorstep, but could not convert. The period ended tied at one.
The Rangers knocked off the remaining 20 seconds on the DC power play to begin the period, and again began cycling the puck in their offensive zone for long stretches, to which the Caps had no answer. Slowly, the Caps began to break the pressure, and with 13 minutes left in the frame began a concerted attack that generated a few nice chances. Dmitry Orlov came very close to his first NHL goal during that sequence with a few cannonading slap shots from the point, but Biron held firm.
New York could not hold on forever, and the Caps finally broke ahead after an incredible shift in the offensive zone that lasted almost 90 seconds and ended with Jeff Halpern deflecting one through Biron's legs just past the halfway mark of the game. The Caps doubled their lead in short order, as Alexander Semin collected a pass in open ice from Nicklas Backstrom and roared in on goal, backhanding one past Biron at 13:02.
Immediately following the Caps' third goal, the Rangers were given another power play, their third of the evening, but again the shorthanded unit held firm, preventing the visitors from denting their lead. New York continued to pressure as the period closed, but the Caps held them off and after two, led 3-1.
For the third consecutive period, the Rangers began the final frame of regulation on a strong note, cycling and forechecking the Caps down low and generating opportunities. But as was the case in the second period, Washington slowly regained the momentum and earned themselves some chances. Their solid pressure earned them another power play with 15 minutes left in the period, but it was New York who actually earned three odd man rushes during the man advantage, killing it easily.
The Caps then gave up another power play with a little less than nine minutes left in the period, and the Rangers got several nice opportunities. Ryan Callahan appeared to have tied the game on the doorstep with 7:59 left to play, but video review determined that the puck was kicked in the net, and the play was overturned. DC killed off the rest of the penalty, but were sent shorthanded again right away as Troy Brouwer knocked the puck over the glass for a delay of game call.
Again, though, the Caps were able to keep New York from pulling closer. Using the momentum they collected from those two spectaucular penalty kills, Alexander Semin iced the result with a spectacular slapshot over Biron's shoulder with three minutes left, and the Caps left with a huge win.
This was a complete victory, and one that was absolutely essential for the Caps at this critical juncture in their season. Especially against a great team like the Rangers, the importance of this win cannot be overstated. "It was very important," said Marcus Johansson. "We got off to a great start and we played like that the whole way. We played really good, all the way from the inside out." Troy Brouwer agreed: "This is a big confidence builder," he said. "Just our game has been so up and down lately, we haven't been able to put together too many solid games back to back. It just gives us confidence going into the next game."
Tomas Vokoun wasn't exactly excellent tonight, but he made the big save when he had to, especially impressive when you consider he hadn't started a game in two weeks. "It's great to get a win," he said. "Guys played with a lot of emotion and we excecuted the game plan that we had. You're not sure what you're gonna get coming off a layoff like that, but you can't forget playing [goal] in two weeks." Vokoun will be instrumental to this team's ability to get a playoff spot, and this is huge for him and the team.
Now, it's all about how they respond mentally. This has happened at least three times over the last four weeks: the Caps are in the doldrums and break out with a dominating win over a very good opponent. Every other time prior, they've laid an egg. Against the Devils last week. Against the Flyers two weeks ago. Against the Devils in late November. Time to get back on the horse and actually gain some momentum. Wouldn't that be nice.
The Caps will practice tomorrow at 11 AM at Kettler Capitals Iceplex. I will be there with all of your practice needs; follow me on Twitter here for those updates.
