Many individuals struggle with their relationship with food and can feel consumed and out of control in the process. If you face challenges of chronic dieting, have patterns of disordered eating, or think you may have an eating disorder, you deserve a safe space to talk openly with a therapist who is compassionate and who understands. Call now for a free consultation.

Eating disorders are often a function of control--where a child, feeling helpless to control important aspects of her life, will seek to control her body--the one area where she actually can exercise control. And our culture, which intolerably honors unhealthy skinniness, contributes to this problem. With eating disorders the strategy that I find most useful is to put the client in charge of what they eat but the parents in charge of how much they eat. One must also seek to understand issues of control and self image. This is a fraught field outside my own area of expertise.

Disordered eating patterns have become an increasingly common struggle in the United States and around the world. Many times people start to focus excessively on eating, body and weight as a means of coping with feelings and experiences that would otherwise feel overwhelming. I have specialized training in helping people along the whole spectrum of eating issues, ranging from people with diagnosable condtions such as anorexia, bulimia and compulsive overeating to people who fear their relationship with food, dieting and/or how their body looks may be interfering with their enjoyment of life and relationships.

Whether working with individuals struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, or general eating issues, we strive to help clients better understand the role that food, exercise, and body image play in their lives and to help them change behavior and thinking patterns that are creating suffering and pain. Because eating disorders often begin as a response to coping with distressing or uncomfortable feelings, we work with individuals to create new, healthier coping strategies. Additionally, the therapy process creates opportunities to gain insight regarding how food and exercise function adaptively and maladaptively in clients' lives. This is done in a safe and supportive environment w....

I specialize in eating disorders. I treat the full spectrum of the disorder individually and compulsive overeaters, chronic dieters and bulimics in a 10-week program called HEALING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD. It has been running for over 11 years and offers relief from binges, peaceful interaction with food, intuitive movement, mindfulness eating skills, body acceptance, self-care training, Health at Every Size and resolving underlying issues. Aftercare groups are offered following completion of the program. My ideal client is someone who has been chronically dieting and feeling more frustrated, depressed and fatter from her efforts. There is another way to end the cycle.

I have worked in the Eating Disorder field since 1987. I am a strong advocate for both clients and their families and enjoy providing education to help prevent further eating disorder development. I have extensive experience working with the following types of eating disorders: Rumination Disorder, Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Orthorexia, Compulsive Eating, and Post Bariatic Surgery patients.

Dialectic Behavior Therapy is the primary approach used in treating those who restrict or binge. This addictive cycle can be overcome if client's are willing to complete homework assignments and work with their treatment team. Body image issues have become more common in the American culture due to the unrealistic portrayal of women in the media. It is my goal to increase women's awareness of the negative messages that are received on a daily basis and help them to listen to their body as if it were their best friend.

Hey I'm new to TDH, and I want to complete a Sintas Vel costume. She's one of my favorite bounty hunters and I think it would be awesome to make a costume of her :)
hi and welcome , reference pictures are very handy, especially when they are of fetts wife ;)
Welcome to the TDH!
Would be great to see Sintas Vel next to Boba Fett
Good luck with your progress!
Why hello Liz it's Tal'Falco :-P
Awesome.....I think you may be the first Sintas!
Hey guys! Here's an update to my Sin costume:
-Tank top that exposes belly button. This is a different one than the one in my avatar pic (dyed it olive green.)
-Using black vinyl for her shoulder straps and belt.
I still need to make some suitable pants for her. I want to ask Jaro for some commissioned blasters soon also.
**** girl welcome , and with all do respect your freaking hot cant wait to see see your costume.
So sorry for not posting here in a while, I've been working on a whole bunch of other costumes lately. But now I really want to get serious about my Sintas costume :)
Looking at different reference images, sometimes her shirt looks gray, and other times it looks more greenish. I made two tank tops for her, one in gray and one in green, until I can find out what the real color is.
I think one big challenge of this costume will be recreating her belt and holsters. They look very intricate and detailed.
And a piece of great news, I recently acquired the first comic that Sintas was featured in! :) This will be great for seeing more images of her costume.
Female bounty hunters are always great!

Luckily I caught it quickly enough that not much got in and it froze instantly to my coat. I toughed out the rest of the hunt, but was much more cautious about where I was taking shots. Be careful out there with that ice fellas. I was just reading a story about 2 duck hunters that died yesterday up in RI after their pop up boat blind got icey, thereby making it even more top heavy, add 20mph winds to that icy sail, and it capsized. 2 died, 1 survived.

The Canisius College women's basketball team has announced its annual postseason awardwinners for the 2012-13 season. Four of the five awards were voted on the team's student-athletes.
Senior Allison Braun was voted the team's Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive season. A two-time team captain, Braun played in all 31 games for the Golden Griffins, making 16 starts. The Erie, Pa. native averaged 4.0 points and 4.2 rebounds per game to go along with a 43.1 field goal percentage and 25 steals. Braun also received the Unsung Hero Award from her teammates, which goes to the student-athlete who doesn't receive public recognition for her role and sacrifice to the program.
Junior Jen Lennox was voted the Most Improved Player. Lennox averaged 6.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in 13.7 minutes during the final nine games of the season. The 6-foot-3 forward ranked fourth in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference with a 1.1 blocks per game average.
Sophomore Kayla Hoohuli received the Best Defensive Player award. Hoohuli appeared in all 31 games, making 28 starts, and had three steals. Junior Jen Morabito was awarded the Coaches' Award. The 5-foot-9 guard appeared in all 31 games, averaging 5.5 points and making 47 3-pointers.

Eat, Drink, Play: Boulder Lake Trail: a great challenge
August 26, 2012
Though this hike is not too straining, making it all the way to Boulder Lake is definitely a challenge. Setting aside four to five hours for this trek is about what is needed to make it all the way.
The trail leading up to Boulder Lake is very popular, creating a perfect place for socializing and enjoying a day outdoors. The season for this hike runs from May through October, depending on snow.
Driving to the trailhead of this popular destination is about as thrilling as the hike itself. Though four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended for the rugged dirt roads leading up to the trailhead, it's doable in a two-wheel drive car as well.
After turning onto Rock Creek Road, a gravel road will bring adventure seekers to a trailhead parking area – keep going. There is another dirt road leading through the first trailhead parking, which brings hikers to the Boulder Lake Trailhead.
This is where the driving gets pretty rugged, but following this dirt road for another one-and-half miles will bring you to the right parking area.
Leading out of the parking area is a trailhead marker and map with a well defined trail, which begins the five-mile journey toward Boulder Lake.
Neither trail signs nor many popular maps adequately illustrate the fork leading to the south shore. Distance and difficulty is the same for day hikers, but the trails end up narrowing dramatically before reaching the lake.
The first split is part of the original trail that's recently been closed and re-routed due to erosion. The second is actually the main trail, which leads over Boulder Creek to the lake's north shore and continues another three miles to Upper Boulder Lake. A "No Fire" sign just past the second split ensures the right choice.
The path climbs steeply and levels by a large meadow on the southeast shore of Boulder Lake. The hike is great for families, but advancing to the lake is not for the faint hearted – terrain becomes more rugged while the trail narrows around some drop-offs.
A little improvising over the outlet stream to re-join the main trail on the north shore is required. Though classified as an unmaintained route west of the lake, it can be taken up-valley for over a mile before losing clarity.
The most important thing to remember with this hike is that: Even if reaching the lake may seem unfitting to the group, the hike itself is purely enjoyable.

Gov. Names Leader Of Prescribed Fire Review Team
DENVER, Colo. - Gov. John Hickenlooper has named William Bass, a 35-year veteran of the U.S. Forest Service, to lead a four-person team to review the prescribed burn that preceded the Lower North Fork fire last month in Jefferson County.
The governor and Colorado State University, which oversees the Colorado State Forest Service, called for the independent review last week. Bass, currently the forest supervisor of the Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming, will lead a fact-finding team that will assess the planning, protocols and execution of the prescribed burn.
The review will include data collection, interviews of personnel involved and an assessment of the planning for the prescribed burn conducted by the Colorado State Forest Service. The team will issue a report at the end of its review, which is expected to take about 30 days.
The review is distinct from a separate law enforcement investigation by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, aided by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and other local, state and federal agencies, that is designed to determine the origin of the Lower North Fork fire and the circumstances surrounding the fatalities connected to the fire.
The governor on Monday also announced he is working with Colorado's Congressional delegation, specifically U.S. Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennet and U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, to issue a joint letter calling for an after-action review of the Lower North Fork fire. This review will take place after firefighters have achieved 100 percent containment of the blaze, and after the review of the prescribed fire being conducted by Bass and his team.
This Lower North Fork fire after-action review will follow a separate process that focuses on such things as response coordination, fire suppression efforts and communication among responders and with residents. The scope of this review and who will conduct it will be determined in the coming days. A more comprehensive review of the protocols and procedures of prescribed burning on state lands or by state agencies will be conducted after the work by Bass and his team is complete. The governor last week suspended the use of prescribed burns by state agencies or on state lands until this review could take place. Detailed plans for this review and who will oversee it have not been finalized.
Bass' team has already started to gather information about the prescribed burn. His team includes U.S. Forest Service personnel with expertise in prescribed fire planning, operations and fire behavior. The team will work with a designated official from each of the following entities: Denver Water; the Colorado State Forest Service; and the Governor's Office. These officials will help ensure the efficient production of information requested by the review team. Bass has extensive experience with dozens of fire-related reviews in his career with the U.S. Forest Service. He joined the USFS in 1975 and has worked in Utah, Idaho, Colorado and - for the last 12 years - Wyoming. He once held the position of acting deputy regional forester for the Rocky Mountain Region of the USFS.
Bass has spent the past 22 years in a leadership role as a Line Office and Agency Administrator within the USFS. His current role as Forest Supervisor on the Bighorn National Forest includes responsibility for more than 1 million acres of federal land. Bass earned a bachelor's degree in Science in Range Science from Utah State University.

'Random Act of Culture' in Vail
June 21, 2012
VAIL – Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater audience members were shocked to discover that Tuesday night's concert offered more than just free music. To remind Vail Valley residents and visitors that the Vail Valley foundation's Vail International Dance Festival (VIDF) is just around the corner, local dance enthusiasts rehearsed for the past three weeks in secret locations throughout the Valley to bring a Flash Mob to amphitheater after the first set of last night's Hot Summer Nights concert. Choreographed in collaboration by Colin Meiring (Vail Performing Arts Academy; artistic director for the Star Dancing Gala), Meredith Steinke (Star Dancing Gala pro dancer), The Eagle Valley High School Dance Team and Battle Mountain High School Dance Team, the flash mob was also created to help spread the word about the Vail Valley Foundation's largest Youth Foundation fundraising event of the year, the Star Dancing Gala (SDG). Performed to music by MashMike – Pump Up The Party Rock (LMFAO vs. Pink vs. Kraze vs. Danzel vs. C&C Music Factory vs. Salt-N-Peppa vs. Diddy Dirty Money), the flash mob strived to show that from classical ballet to hip hop, dance has something to offer everyone, as well as reinforce the importance of providing our youth with access to enriching cultural experiences. "(The) flash mob featured a fun and interactive mix of artistic dance styles and was made accessible for dancers of all levels of ability to participate," said Meredith Steinke, choreographer and Star Dancing Gala professional. "Our goal was to get our audience engaged with and excited about dance, while helping to support the dance programs that the Youth Foundation makes available to Eagle County's youth."VVF's Vail International Dance Festival, which kicks off July 29 and ends Aug. 11, 2012, at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, offers an unparalleled collection of ballet and modern dance, rivaling the top dance festivals across the globe. This year's lineup includes the return of New York City Ballet MOVES, the Vail debut of Martha Graham Dance Company, International Evenings of Dance, Dance for $20.12 and more. Schedule at a Glance and tickets can be found at vaildance.org. VVF's Youth Foundation Star Dancing Gala takes place July 23, and will feature dance performances by notable locals and professional dancers as well as performances by local children who participate in Youth Foundation programs. Each pair will perform a different genre of dance. Similar to the popular television show, "Dancing with the Stars," these local "Stars" have accepted the challenge to train with a professional dancer and perform in front of our live audience for the benefit of children at risk. Everyone at the event will be supporting the expansion of the Youth Foundation's mission to foster the growth, development, and success of children in our community. The Star Dancing Gala will remind all of us to continue reaching for the stars."Each year the gala is a magical night as individuals from each corner of our community come together to celebrate and support our children and our future," says Susie Davis, VVF's Vice President of Education. "It is a fun, heartwarming, and inspiring event that will offer a glimpse into the dreams that the Youth Foundation is making possible for Eagle County's children."

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by BillLaimbeer, Jan 19, 2012.
So, are the lottery positions finalized now?
well, they#re doing this the right way. Pistons would have won by some last-second heroics from scrubs like CV.
That game was a crapshoot if you look at the actual lineups used. But the Hornets have also been playing pretty well of late. They've won 7 of their last 10. They got Kaman and Gordon back from injury for a little while and a lot of their 2nd tier guys have had tonnes of playing time so have improved. They aren't as bad as advertised.
What # draft pick could we get in exchange for Brandon Knight right now? How about for Monroe?
Monroe lead the team in Points and Rebounds. No one has done that since Grant Hill. Monroe also lead the team in steals.
He should have led the team in blocked shots. Monroe (2,056) played twice as many minutes as Ben Wallace (957), but had less blocks (46 to 50). Maxiel had 49 blocks in 1,452 minutes. Moose' defense has gotten better, but there is definitely much more room for improvement.
So, do you think that we could trade Monroe for the #1 pick this year?
Yes, add 1st round unprotected pick and then we'll see...
No, I'm asking if we can wait until we know who has the #1 pick and then offer them Monroe in exchange for Davis essentially. i.e., what pick # is a proven Monroe worth? Also consider that we have Monroe for cheaper than the #1 pick will sign for, so if a bad team wins the lottery, which probably will happen, would they consider taking one of the league's best young big men at a below market contract in exchange for an unproven Davis who will require a higher contract?
??? Doesn't that speak AGAINST Monroe as he will demand a larger contract way earlier than a possible #1 pick since his rookie contract is up after next season?
I guessing we could exchange Monroe for #2 or Stuckey for a #6........no others could draw attention.
Do you honestly think that there's a GM out there that would swap a #6 pick for "Mr March"?
That would be nice..........for us.
Whoever gets #1 in this draft is not trading it. This has been the most hype since Lebran/Darko. Has anyone traded a top 3 pick recently? I can't recall the last time.
The Pistons went from 4-20 and a top 5 pick to the 9th pick. There is something wrong with this scenario considering how bad the team has been the last three years and all the Pistons have gotten from the draft is the 7th, 8th and projected 9th pick. I expressed my worries on this board a few months back when I sensed the Pistons were losing valuable draft position for a few wins. It has come to pass unfortunately--again. The flip side of this is that despite poor draft position, the Pistons managed to get Monroe and Knight who, due to GM ineptness or just plain imperfect information about college players and how they project in the NBA, fell in the draft. They are both top five picks in reality and so the Piston future is actually on the bright side for the first time since the end of 2008. And, despite the seeming inability of the Pistons to play the tanking game, the team actually got better, making tanking naturally a lot tougher. The Piston problem is not Monroe and Knight, who are the future, but the lack of real winning production from the team's veterans (Stuckey, Gordon, CV, Tay, Maxiel). Knight and Monroe will improve and step up. Stuckey has found a game--finally--but must show he can play defense and win. Maxiel is a legitimate 2nd team guy but not a starter. How does one play Gordon and CV and get a positive overall contribution. If anyone can make this happen, this coach can. But I suspect that this team will have to make major changes around Monroe and Knight within two years.
I agree with that, and though I don't expect to get a player with Anthony Davis' game changing ability at 9, I'm hoping we can at least get a guy who complements Greg Monroe, which means a big man. Tanking was always going to be hard to do with such a demanding coach and a new owner they all have to answer to, imo. If a team tanks, I think it has to be with the owner's consent as well, and it doesn't seem to be Gores' style. I also think changes will be coming, at least if you believe Tom Gores: He also believes they're a playoff team next season. Detroit Pistons' owner Tom Gores says team has to regain respect of its fans | MLive.com
Couple of months ago is a little too early to start hoping for losses - IMO. I truly hope that we can put this hoping they lose theme to rest once and for all next season. I am so sick of it. 3 years in a row now. I want to see at least a serious push for the playoffs next year. Just have to work with that 9th pick. One thing - its high enough that we probably do not have to worry about some team above us drawing a top 3. Maybe we will still get a top 3. Who knows.
Wowww... Awesome nickname !! lmao!!!!! _________________ I think we have a shot at the lottery.. but IF not, I'm not to worryied about the draft, I know that after 4th pick, it will get confusing and there will be players drafted at 5, 6 , 7 that are not THAT much better from players drafted at 12 - 13 .. so we just need to do good job in the scout as we have been doing the last seasons (Knight was more luck than good scouting work, but Monroe is a piece of gold I won't trade him for a 2nd round pick, only for a first round pick because I know that Davis is a huge star..) Draftexpress have Sullinger going 6th, Barnes 7th, Henson 8th and Perry Jones 9th. For all I know, PJ3 could be a good fit and maybe fill a nice need. If not, beyond Jones you have players like Meyers Leonard, Terrence Jones, Tyler Zeller.. And the all-time Joe Dumars' favourites, a lots of Combo Guards, like Austin Rivers, Jeremy Lamb, Marquis Teague.. And IF that doesn't satisfied our great GM, we can also draft skinny tall men who have long arms and no muscle, like Quincy Miller. Beside the jokes, I think we really have a good shot at drafting something valuable with a 9th or 10th pick. And if somehow we can draft with the 1st, 2nd or 3th. the choices must be Anthony Davis, if taken, Andre Drummond, if taken, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. We can't have a 4th pick so.. its 1,2,3 or 9th,10th,11th or 12th .. right?
I think Joe has to have a good 2nd round too. He has two chances in round two. At least one of those guys has to be a legit rotation guy. We can't make any trades or sign any notable free agents. The draft is pretty much our only shot at seeing an improved roster next year.
Gores even said as much yesterday, saying this team has great players and he'll be disappointed if the Pistons don't make the playoffs next year. It sounded like he wasn't expecting any trades or free agent moves.

Programs Offered
Environmental Science Major:
We offer both a BA and a BS in environmental science. Common to both degrees is a thematic emphasis that allows students to focus their study in areas of environmental science in which our faculty have interest and experience. Available themes currently include:
- conservation biology
- aquatic ecosystems
- stream resources
- forestry
- water resources
- wildlife management
Click on a theme of interest for thematic information and course requirements.
Environmental Studies Minor:
Students need a broad range of courses to understand thoroughly and work successfully on environmental problems that are inherently interdisciplinary. This minor gives an environmental focus to any major and offers the breadth of knowledge that complements the in-depth study required of a traditional discipline. Our graduates develop the problem-solving skills and critical-thinking ability that make them more appealing to prospective employers and graduate schools.
Interdepartmental Major:
With the approval of the Provost and the Environmental Science Program Committee, students can create an interdepartmental major composed of courses selected from several departments but all contributing to some unified purpose or theme. For students interested in a major in Environmental Studies or Sustainability, where the focus of the major shifts from environmental science to policy-related, economic, or social dimensions of the environment, an interdepartmental major would be appropriate.
3-2 Program with Duke University:
For exceptional students, Wittenberg has a cooperative program with Duke University's School for the Environment. Students spend three years at Wittenberg completing the courses required for a major concentration and Wittenberg's general education program. After two additional years of study in an environmental program at Duke, students recieve a B.A. from Wittenberg and an M.A. from Duke.

Hello all, new poster here!
I am a University graduate in the USA with a degree in International Relations. I have completed a 120hr TEFL certification course, and am currently finishing a Business English teaching course. I am not on the hunt for jobs abroad alongside my girlfriend (same credentials). We are very open about what country we end up in, but we would like the opportunity to teach together, if possible. We are also interested in anything that can help with travel expenses (flights, accommodations, etc.) as we are still strapped for cash after finishing university.
Could anyone recommend some steps we should take in our search? Are there any reputable job placement agencies that anyone knows of, or should we just search for something on our own? Any feedback is helpful, as we are still in the beginning stages and are trying to learn our footing.

Gresham son and father arrested
Gresham resident Cory Robert Reed, 24, was arrested in connection with three recent armed robberies of Gresham area businesses: Starbucks, Orient Espresso, and Sidekicks Delicatessen. Officers and detectives contacted Reed near his father's home in the 3300 block of S.E. 1st Street, Gresham, where he was taken into custody without incident. Reed is lodged at the Multnomah County Detention Center on three counts of Robbery in the Second Degree. Reed's father, Robert Marion Reed, 52, was arrested for an unrelated warrant and also lodged in Multnomah County.
On July 13 at 8:04 p.m., Reed entered the Starbucks at 2233 N.E. Burnside Road where he displayed a small handgun and demanded an employee give him money from the cash register.
On July 14 at 1:59 p.m., Reed approached the Orient Espresso coffee stand at 3250 S.E. 11th Street and again demanded money from the register while he threatened the employee with a gun.
On July 17 at 10:28 p.m., Reed robbed Sidekicks Delicatessen, 1489 S.E. Hogan Road. He simulated having a gun in his right pocket and demanded the employee give him money.
In all three instances, Reed fled the scene before the police arrived. His robbery spree netted him less than $500.
Anyone with additional information about these cases, or information regarding similar incidents possibly involving Reed, is encouraged to call the Gresham Police. The Gresham Police tip line is 503.618.2719 (local) or 1.888.989.3505 (out of area).

How does that hand cannon in the last shot shoot w/a weaver hold like that... just outta curiosity.....can you hit anything with it?
Thought I'd share since this seems to be the place.
Might be self explanatory to an extent. I'll wait for comments before describing in too much detail.

OK, I'd like a little more info on the mag conversion on the one with the blond wood.
You have my attention!!!
You only have the rights you are willing to fight for.I Like 1911's.
Looks Good.

Ditto! Is that some kind of adaptor?Originally Posted by Preacher
Me as well. Greatly interested.Originally Posted by Preacher
I think that is a .308 Saiga using a G3 mag.Originally Posted by Cephus
I was wondering about that Sang. I wish I had taken pics of Rhino's 308 Saiga at the shoot. But I'm still curious.
You only have the rights you are willing to fight for.I Like 1911's.
Yeah, but how? (obviouslt an adapter, I am hoping for the specs)Originally Posted by SangRun Hunter
It is indeed a G3 mag adaptor... source for much consternation over at S-12.com. I chose to move the mag well back instead of cutting the trunion, which retains the force of the round firing in battery. Had to trim away a bit of the receiver including the cross post, but as you can see, the adaptor has a structural component as well.
If Rhino is the same fellow who posted his 308 conversion on S-12.com, I believe his project involved adding a catch or two to the mag and clearing material from the trunion. Leadhead's conversion used unmodified mags and also had some trunion modification. My system was developed during the ban, so I had to make sure the mags weren't modified beyond usability in a G3.
Details are sort of proprietary, but a lot of light can be shed on this over in the S-308 forum at S-12.com, including some trollish rants against me and in effect all WECSOGers.
Regarding shooting the AMD pistol, I actually get the best accuracy firing it pistol style, even as barrel heavy as it is. I chose the Saiga forend because it seemed to be the smoothest if I were to draw it from a holster/scabbard.
On the X39 carbine, that photo doesn't do justice to the beautiful texture of the gun's metal and polymer parts. I thought it quite neat that a handguard made in Russia, magazine made in Poland, grip made by Tapco, and stock made by K-Var all had the same texture. There's just something perfect about that carbine and all I did was put together the fine quality parts.
A less noticed adaptor is the AR grip adaptor on the S-223. I at a time was planning to make it as much a cross between an AR and AK as possible, but at this point am taking the 223 round much less seriously (with respect to our servicemen who use it successfully.)
I tend to think it's less work in the long run to convert a gun to take different mags, furniture, or accessories than to convert everything out there to fit it. I figure all these folks make expensive ergo grips for AKs, why not make a simple adaptor to use less expensive AR grips? That way you can swap them around if you like. And even with the ban gone, drastically modifying each mag just doesn't seem economical when you can do the gun once and spend less time on each mag. Even factory mags (when they can be found) usually cost about 20 times as much as G3 mags. You can't make G3 mags that cheap, they're just being dumped as surplus as more countries complete their switch to 5.56 from 7.62 NATO.

Today Amazon revealed its new Kindle lineup, including a touchscreen E Ink eReader and Amazon's first color touchscreen tablet, the Kindle Fire. I can't say I'm surprised. The day the iPad launched, my colleague James McQuivey wrote that Amazon should "go head to head with Apple on a media tablet." In March of this year, I wrote that "iPad 2 won't have much competition in 2011, unless it's from Amazon," and more recently I published a report outlining the competitive advantages and disadvantages Amazon's product strategists will face if they launch a tablet.
Looking back at that report, here's what we got right:

The talk will focus on interplanting seed crops in your gardens or field plots, using the by-products of the crop for food production or value added products to sell, and on basic seed saving and plant genetics, crop nutrition, rotations, isolations, and how to harvest and dry seed. The talk will cover biennials such as beets and carrots as well. Potluck to follow.

September 6 - Diverse Dairy
MOFGA Farm Training Project workshop: 5 p.m., Toddy Pond Farm, Monroe. In recent decades, many small dairy farms have had to 'get big or get out' as the rising cost of operating a small scale, pasture based dairy has grown beyond economic sustainability. In order to become profitable, many producers have gotten creative—by diversification, value-added production, and innovative marketing strategies. Toddy Pond Farm is a small, diversified, family-run dairy operation of grass-fed Jersey and Guernsey cows in Monroe. Come see how farmers Greg and Heidi Purinton-Brown have designed the business model of the farm to ensure long term economic sustainability. They produce yogurt, kefir, cheese, and ice cream, along with honey, sheep, guinea hogs, meat chickens and eggs. Learn about their marketing strategies for this diversified operation and how the different aspects of the farm compliment each other. Potluck to follow.
September 13 - Next Steps: Apprentice to Journeyperson
MOFGA Farm Training Project workshop: Weds., 5 p.m., Old Wells Farm, Limington. MOFGA estimates that Maine needs about 150 new farmers each year just to maintain the infrastructure required to support our local food system – so every new farm operation in Maine is a reason to celebrate! But, it's becoming increasingly difficult to get started in farming. Join Dylan and Alaena, along with several of MOFGA's current Journeypersons, as they share their insights and enthusiasm about how they are managing their first few years farming independently. Several key service providers will also discuss how their programs can help. If you are considering farming for a living, please come and contribute to this important discussion. Potluck to follow.

Fuzzy's sponsors IndyCar's Triple Crown Challenge
Fuzzy's Ultra Premium Vodka will be the title sponsor for IndyCar's "Triple Crown" challenge next season.
The "Fuzzy's Triple Crown" will award $1 million to any driver who wins the Indianapolis 500, Pocono and the season finale at Fontana. Fuzzy's will give $250,000 to a driver who wins two of the three races.
IndyCar ran a "Triple Crown" at Indianapolis, Pocono and Ontario, Calif., from 1971- 1980 and from 1981-1989 at Indy, Pocono and Michigan. Only Al Unser won all three races in a single season, in 1978.
Fuzzy's entered IndyCar last season as the primary sponsor of Ed Carpenter's startup race team. The American concluded his first season by winning the finale at Fontana.

Little story: I bought him for my girlfriend when we thought she was hired on full time at her job. Since her mom told her she could get a small dog. Well going to the pet store just to have something to do she fell in love with him. Two kids had him in the floor as soon as my wife (then girlfriend) walked around the corner he turned and ran. She played with him and petted him for an hour and a half. When we left he whimpered and whined. She went back the next day and wasnt paying attention to anyone until he saw her and he jumped in the changed and was barking until she came to him.
The mother that had the two kids was back in the store saying she almost has her husband talked into it and he would get off work at 5pm and see him and probably get him. Well it being 3pm I how to do something so I bought him. Well my mother in law wouldnt let me wife keep him with her so I kept him. She gets sad because he mom was real strict (like overly, overly strict) so she didnt get to see him that much and missed a big part of his puppy stage. He is healthy and finally starting to calm down some.
Enough yapping time for the pics.
A couple of weeks after we got him
Couple from about 8 months or so ago

Wednesday, September 19
Marseille airport is the latest location for me to use mobile technology to record my thoughts and the satisfaction of an away win in Europe is very much at the forefront of everyone's thoughts.
Montpellier is a very nice city, the centre's architecture and al fresco bar, restaurant and cafe culture making it a thoroughly enjoyable place to visit.
As the weather turned 'muggy' we made our way up to the stadium for the main event. Located in the upper tier and with flag in place (I understand it made numerous TV appearances!) the atmosphere steadily grew as the French champions played host.
The penalty was disappointing of course, but I did feel they might have scored a little too early and it could work to our advantage as the game developed.
Within three minutes Poldi and Gerve put the finishing touches on two fine moves and the travelling Gooners enjoyed the resulting jostle with gusto!
At half time I think we all felt a similar second period could see us go on to win fairly comfortably. The reality however, could not have been further from the truth.
We enjoyed some moments going forward but seriously had to dig in to come away with the three points. A combination of good defending and goalkeeping and a little bit of luck saw us through on the night.
So, a satisfying night's work brought another highly-enjoyable European jolly to a close as thoughts now turn to the tough trip to Manchester on Sunday.
Last year's corresponding fixture saw us extremely unlucky to come away with nothing after playing well. A similar performance would suit me on Sunday, with a more positive result of course.

He said he seen with his own eyes, (now this is from memory) a ahb hive next to two euro hives swarm or abscond, flying around there hives and all there bees leaving with them.

BWW Reviews: MAGICAL Goes Beyond the Illusion at New York Live Arts 1/15-1/19
As I arrived at New York Live Arts on Friday evening, it was clear that the audience assembled to watch Anne Juren and Annie Dorsen's collaborative work, MAGICAL, had not stumbled upon this performance in an act of whimsy. The lobby was informed, buzzing with anticipation, and as the performance began, I could feel the Women's Studies adherents around me creeping toward The Edges of their seats. I was prepared for an evening of angry and lustful nostalgia for unshaved armpits and the advent of birth control. What I experienced, however, was a visceral reaction to the quality of the performance; a clever disguise for the underlying cerebrally inspired work of performance art.
The curtain opened on performer Annie Juren and director Anne Dorsen's MAGICAL to reveal a smaller set of white curtains framing the center of the stage. Between them a copper cube scuttled about, driven by an unknown force within. A distorted recording of Carolee Schneemann's thoughts on her 1975 work Interior Scroll bled spottily through the speakers. Wearing a loose-fitting housedress and standing behind a table covered in kitchen utensils, performer Anne Juren launched a combination parody and recount of Martha Rosler's short film Semiotics of the Kitchen (1975). In Rosler's no-nonsense fashion, Juren lifted each utensil, called out its name and proceeded to demonstrate each utensil's use with unusual fervor, bordering on violence. The audience laughed nervously, not sure whether Juren was hilarious or dangerous as she, with expression of sly self-consciousness on her face, created the seamless illusion of funneling breast milk into a glass and drinking it, changing a cracked egg into a bra, and making salt fall, almost as if by accident, from midair.

Council of Europe racism watchdog: report on Portugal
Strasbourg, 04.11.2002 – The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), the Council of Europe's expert body on combating racism, xenophobia, anti-Semitism and intolerance, today released its second report on Portugal.
ECRI recognises that positive developments have occurred in this country and notes that, over recent years, Portugal has taken a number of steps to combat racism and intolerance. At the same time, the report details continuing grounds for concern for the Commission.
There are still problems with the application of anti-racism and discrimination laws, which in practice falls short of the protection provided for by the legislation in force. Immigrants and Roma/Gypsies often find themselves in very precarious situations because of administrative failings, which hinder or delay their attempts to secure recognition of their rights, and are therefore confronted with acts of discrimination in their day-to-day lives. The lack of precise and sufficient data on these acts makes it difficult to assess the impact of measures taken to combat racism and intolerance.
This new report forms part of a second cycle of monitoring of Council of Europe member states' laws, policies and practices in order to combat racism. ECRI's country-specific reports (available on the internet site www.coe.int/ecri in English and French) cover all member states on an equal footing, in the perspective of the protection of human rights. The second set of reports examines the implementation of proposals made to the governments in the previous cycle; they provide a general up-date and also contain a deeper analysis of selected issues of particular concern in the relevant countries.

By Joe Brewin
Theo Walcott believes Gervinho is emerging as the perfect summer signing.
The Ivorian international has settled well in the Premier League since his move from French champions Lille, scoring twice and grabbing seven assists in his 13 appearances for the Club so far.
Walcott and Gervinho have helped provide ammunition for Robin van Persie's incredible goalscoring run - and the England man says his new team-mate will prove to be a big asset for the team.
"He's been fantastic this season," Walcott told Arsenal.com.
"Obviously [English football] is totally different to what he's used to playing but now he is playing week in week out in the Premier League, which is very physical, and he is showing his qualities.
"He has still got a lot to learn and he knows that - but you can start to see that Gervinho is going to be the right type of player for Arsenal."
Walcott has also praised the man who operates just behind him on the pitch - Carl Jenkinson.
"He is doing very well," said Walcott. "I don't think he thought he would be playing quite this much but Carl's got in there and he always wants to learn, which is great to see.
"He's eager, he wants to perform and he is getting better every game now. I think the game against West Brom a couple of weeks ago was his best game for us.
"He's got bags of confidence at the moment, all the lads are encouraging him and it's showing in his performances."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Behind six goals from sophomore Tori Quinn, including the game-tying and game-winning tallies, the Canisius women's lacrosse team won for the fourth time in the last five games with an 11-9 overtime win over Duquesne University at the Demske Sports Complex on Sunday afternoon. The Golden Griffins improve to 4-3 on the season.
Quinn set a career high with the six goals, scoring four of the team's final five goals on the day. Junior Maria Kotas added four points (two goals, two assists), three caused turnovers and three draw controls. Senior Morgan Leonard recorded five caused turnovers and four groundballs while senior Lindsay Morgan had two goals and two draw controls.
"Today was a big character win. We made enough of the big plays, especially with our top players executing their roles, at the end of the game to get a hard-earned victory," Canisius coach Scott Teeter said. "This was a great lacrosse game against a quality opponent. We have a quick turnaround for Tuesday's game against Monmouth and can definitely build off this win."
After Duquesne (3-4) scored the first goal of the game just 27 seconds into the contest, the Griffs tallied the next two scores, with Kotas and Morgan making long runs at the net and finishing with goals to put Canisius up 2-1. The teams traded the next four goals, with Kotas recovering her own shot off the post and scoring to make it 4-3 Canisius. Canisius took the only two-goal lead of the day when Quinn came around the cage and scored in the upper-right corner to put Canisius up 5-3.
The Dukes tied the game at 5-5 before Canisius reclaimed the lead on a favorable bounce. The shot from Morgan hit off the goalie's stick and found its way behind the line to put Canisius back up by one. Duquesne tallied the next two goals to take its second lead of the day at 7-6. Canisius would get the next two goals from Quinn on free-position shots to go back up 8-7. Duquesne got the next two goals to go up 9-8 with 7:27 left. Quinn tied the game with 6:18 remaining when she came around the cage and scored for the fifth time in the game.
Canisius had a chance at the end of regulation when freshman Ashley Bull caught a pass while cutting to the net, but her shot was saved by Duquesne goalie Kristen Gregory. The Griffs scored the only two goals in overtime, with Quinn taking a pass from Kotas and getting her sixth of the day to put Canisius up less than a minute into overtime. The Griffs got an insurance goal from senior Meghan McGunigle with 10 seconds left in the first overtime period when McGunigle picked up a loose shot and scored to put the Griffs up by two.
Sophomore Kayla Scully earned her third win of the season by making eight saves.
Canisius continues its five-game homestand on Tuesday, when the Golden Griffins host Monmouth. Game time at the Demske Sports Complex is set for 4 p.m.

|August 1974
Today is my birthday. If you are a regular reader of my blog, you'll know that I have a birthday tradition of giving you, my blog readers, a gift. This birthday is no different, except I'm amping it up…way up!
Recently I ran across this blog post via Pinterest. This woman actually started her own site called The Birthday Project, all stemming from the response she received from her desire to give back on her birthday. When I read this post, my birthday was just days away. I wasn't sure how many good deeds I could complete in a day by myself, but I sure could try. And so, on this, my 39th birthday, I'm attempting 39 random acts of kindness. But I need your help!
If you feel so inclined and inspired, please commit to one random act of kindness this week. It doesn't have to be elaborate or even cost much, it can be something little, simple, but something that will likely be very much appreciated by the recipient. Here are a few ideas (and you can read many more on this post):
- Buy the coffee drink of the person behind you in the drive through line at Starbucks.
- Hand out thank you cards to local police officers.
- Leave coins taped to a vending machine.
- Help someone put groceries in their car.
If you decide to spread a little kindness this week, leave a comment on my blog telling me about your random act of kindness. You have until Sunday, January 8, 11:59 pm PST to leave your comment with your good deed. After that time, I'll draw one name to receive some random act of crafting kindness, this blog candy:
|Say It Loud Stamp Set by Waltzingmouse Stamps
|Labels Sixteen Nestabilities Die Set by Spellbinders
One more thing before I go. I recently created a Simple Flourishes page on Facebook for my blog. If you "like" my page and leave a second random act of kindness on that post, you'll have an additional chance to win this:
|Snowflake Impressabilities by Spellbinders
|Round & Round 3rd Anniversary Stamp Set by Papertrey Ink
For those of you who are already a Facebook fan of my page, simply leave your random act of kindness on my status update and you'll be entered to win. It's that easy!
Have a great day and enjoy making someone else's a little brighter! Thank you all for being a part of my birthday in this very special way. I'll be posting updates on my Facebook page, so check back often to see what I'm up to today and come back on the 9th to see if you won!


text: I've recently been asked to teach a mixed-age/skill level group of employees of an Insurance company in Jakarta, Indonesia. They would prefer to have a teacher with a background in insurance and general law but I, for one, do not have that kind of background, nor do I think that such ESL teachers necessarily exist! I DO know however that as long as there's a book on the subject, written for students learning English as a second language as well as the teacher's book, then any ESL trained teacher would be able to run the class. Unfortunately I haven't found a suitable ESL book that looks specifically at Insurance issues such as underwriting, making claims, writing contracts etc. This puts me in an awkward position. Do you know of any books that would be suitable in this situation?

Draper • No more secrets.
That's the message the grieving family of 15-year-old Anne Kasprzak wants to send to whomever brutally murdered the Riverton girl a year ago.
On the anniversary of the teen's death, more than 40 family members and friends gathered Sunday along the banks of the Jordan River for a candlelight vigil to honor the memory of the girl they call "Annie."
They also pleaded with the killer or anyone who may know something about Anne's death to come forward.
"Without any answers, there is no closure, no moving on," said her mother, Veronica Kasprzak. "We just relive what happened that day every day."
Family members said they last saw Anne alive the night of March 10, 2012, when she went to her bedroom to listen to music.
"She was in good spirits. She had her wisdom teeth pulled a week before, and she was looking forward to going back to school, and she was doing her homework," said her father, Dennis Kasprzak.
But the family believes that Anne, who was adopted and had struggled at times while growing up, secretly slipped out of their Riverton home to meet someone. The family then reported her as a runaway.
The day after she was reported missing, Anne's body was found in the Jordan River near the parkway bridge at 12600 South, beaten beyond recognition.
Within a few weeks of the murder, Draper police arrested two men in her death, Daniel Ferry, 32, and Veanuia Vehekite, 31. Last week, after a yearlong investigation, Draper police announced that both men were cleared of the murder and that the case is still open.
"There's definitely stuff going on behind the scenes," Dennis Kasprzak said of detectives and their investigation. "We're hoping we can further things along."
The family announced last week that they are offering $5,000 to anyone with information that leads to an arrest and conviction in Anne's murder. Anyone with information is asked to call Draper police at 801-840-4000.
Veronica Kasprzak said she is convinced that Ferry and Vehekite are not the killers because the evidence "didn't match, didn't make sense."
Originally, a witness claimed she saw both men beat the girl unconscious, drove off with her body and return to brag about killing her.
But Ferry alleged the witness was a drug addict who was angry with him at the time and made up the story.
Ferry, an admitted drug dealer and gang member, has always denied being involved in Anne's death. He is serving a one- to 15-year prison sentence for an unrelated kidnapping. Vehekite is being held in the Davis County Jail on federal charges.
On Sunday, flanked by folded paper cranes fluttering from a bush near where Anne's body was found, her family remembered the vivacious girl who always looked out for her siblings.
"She really was their leader and always had their best interest at heart," Dennis Kasprzak said about Anne, the oldest of two brothers and three step-siblings. "She was always their protector."
Her 7-year-old brother, William Kasprzak, said he'll always remember making necklaces and playing the game "Apples to Apples" with his big sister.
"You have been a really good sister," he said, looking toward the sky.
Unsolved murder
Anyone with information about the murder of Anne Kasprzak on March 10, 2012, is asked to call Draper police at 801-840-4000.
