This past Christmas, I participated in BoardGameGeek's Secret Santa. It's a pretty huge event, with over a thousand people signing up to send complete strangers brand-new board games. This was my first year giving it a go, and I could not have been happier with my experience. Not only did my Santa send me Forbidden Desert and Ghost Stories, two games that have been on my radar for a while, but they also sent the hard-to-find (at the time) Le Fantôme de l'Opéra. I'd heard about Fantôme when I read a preview of the new games premiering at Essen, and the theme alone sold me. Phantom of the Opera is kind of my guilty pleasure – I adore the musical, and even liked the Gerard Butler movie. My mom is a bigger fan than me, so I knew I had to get this game as soon as it came out. Thanks to my Secret Santa, though, I didn't have to! If you're reading this, Santa, you're awesome. So what is this game all about? Did it live up to my expectations? Let's find out.
Le Fantôme de l'Opéra
Publisher and Date: Hurrican, 2013
Designers: Bruno Cathala and Ludovic Maublanc
Players: 2
Ages: 9 and up
Length: 30 minutes

USPTO Funding Legislation Update
The American Intellectual Property Law Association is reporting that the Senate Appropriations Committee, approved the fiscal year 2005 Commerce, Justice, State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill (S. 2809) on September 15, 2004.
Although the Senate's fee provisions call for most of the increases in recently-passed House bill (H.R. 1561), the Senate bill drops the rebate system that would have deposited fee revenues in excess of the appropriation into a trust fund from which the PTO would rebate fees at the end of the fiscal year. The Senate version also drops a House provision to permit the Director to refund part of the application fee if a declaration of express abandonment was filed before examination. Both bills continue to designate separate filing, search and examination fees that are payable upon filing, and both would permit outsourcing of searches by a qualified search authority.

Combat finger grunge.
Amp up your guitar's tone life with the same premium electric guitar strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available. Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands' coated and uncoated guitar strings.
Who wouldn't love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes?
Engineered to endure, these nickel-plated steel electric guitar strings boast a ton of bright, vibrant presence and dynamic punch. Compared to our original POLYWEB Coating, the ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating allows a more traditionally textured, "uncoated" feel.
For a slicker, gentler feel, try a set of electric guitar strings with Elixir's original POLYWEB Coating, which also feature a warmer tone.
Of course, the kind of string you play is all a matter of personal preference. Not sure what tone or feel is right for you? Try them out for yourself, and find your new favorite string from Elixir Strings.
NOTE: Your packaging may not reflect image shown as Elixir is changing packaging on this product.
Gauges: 12-16-24*w*-32-42-52 Electric guitar strings constructed with nickel-plated steel wrap wire Played for their bright, vibrant presence and dynamic punch Ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating provides a traditionally textured, "uncoated" feel Patented coating technology protects against common corrosion, extending tone life longer than any other brand's coated or uncoated strings (Elixir Strings player survey) Anti-Rust Plating on plain steel strings ensures longer tone life for the entire set
REVIEW SNAPSHOT®by PowerReviews
Reviewed by 1 customer
Comments about Elixir Electric Guitar Strings with NANOWEB Coating, Heavy (.012-.052):
These are the best strings I've ever played and I've played a lot of different kinds. GHS, Blue Steel, Ernie Ball of all different kinds, DR, SIT, these strings beat them all. The sound is amazing and the heavy gauge is perfect for downtuning (I tune to B). If you're new to Nanoweb strings, they feel kind of "greasy" because of the coating, but you get used to it fast. They retain their tone for a very long time, twice as long as my Ernie Balls did, and cleaning them with string cleaner seems to give much better results. Some people have reported early string breakage with lighter gauges but I have never had any problems with lighter gauges so long as you don't treat them like they're invincible. And with the heavier gauges, I have yet to experience any string breakage at all. I've even tuned these 12 gauge ones to standard E tuning and they took whatever beating I could dish out. All in all probably the best strings I've ever played and I don't foresee switching any time soon.

Sometimes a guy hasn't been named a Hunk of the Day because in the back of my head I've already put him in that category. Such is the case with Rob Gronkowski, who's appeared here several times previously, most notably in this nude spread and that naked post, but never as an official Hunk of the Day. Well, today is the Gronk's lucky day, as he gets his first christening as the honored Hunk.
It comes at a good time, as the Patriots gear up for their Super Bowl run, and Mr. Gronkowski just had his pants pulled down on national television (another reason to watch Sunday football). Hopefully he'll pull a few more tricks of similarly-revealing nature out of his pants before the season ends. In the meantime, a few classic naked Gronk shots from that infamous ESPN nude body issue.Back to Blog

A few years ago I blogged about an imagined quote from Fredric Chopin.
This happened again recently. I know I've seen archival footage of Frank Lloyd Wright standing over the model of Broadacre City (now on view at the Museum of Modern Art through June 1), his vision of urban design. He looks imposing, unshakeable in his conviction that this is how cities should be designed and built. I've searched and searched and searched, but haven't found a thing. Maybe I dreamed it. Or maybe it's a case of wishful thinking gone haywire. Or maybe I'm going insane. Perhaps a visit to MoMA will clear things up.
In the meantime, here's me playing a Chopin prelude on the guitar, recorded a few years ago at Blue Mountain Center. Chopin composed it for piano, of course, but this piece was transcribed by Francisco Tarrega.[audio:http://alifesworkmovie.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/chopinme_1-2.mp3]

Well, I had a busy Saturday night. I'd known for some time that I was one of the three nominees for the Eugene & Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Award in the emerging author category. (I was really hoping I'd get to punch my way out of a giant egg to dramatize my emerging status, but no.)
Anyway, I was sure I would not win. I didn't prepare any remarks. I didn't put the champagne in the fridge. I almost wore a bathrobe to the event. (See, they said to wear business attire. Well, for a writer, business attire = bathrobe and giant mug of coffee. I would have done it, too, but my wife, Margaret, said I'd be sleeping in the guest room until New Year's Day if I did.)
But somehow I wound up lugging this giant glass book-shaped trophy home. My name is on the spine in gold leaf. Pretty, huh?
I'm not going to lie, the best part about this award is the check that's attached. Five years ago when I was writing ASHFALL, Margaret and I were so poor that we thought we might lose our house. Things are immensely better now, but $5,000 is still enough to make a big difference for us. The second best part of winning is the opportunity to make a $2,500 gift to a library of my choice. I woke up in the middle of the night last night with an insanely awesome idea for using that gift. Now I just have to see if the library will go for it.
The third best part of winning the award was, without question, the other emerging author finalists, Tricia Fields and Kelsey Timmerman. You can see their pictures to either side of mine in this photo:
|Photo by Peggy Tierney
One of the first things I did after learning that we were all finalists was to rush down to Central Library and check out their books. Here's Tricia's debut:
It's a crime novel set in a remote town on the Mexican border. Tricia's prose is spare and lovely, and the novel moves along at an electric pace. Tricia is married to an Indiana State Police investigator, and every detail of the book rings true–at least in my admittedly inexpert ears. If you enjoy crime fiction, police procedurals–heck, if you've ever seen CSI–buy a copy today. Margaret tells me that the sequel, Scratchgravel Road, is every bit as good. I haven't read it yet, but the copy we bought on Saturday is perched atop my teetering to-be-read pile.
I'm insanely jealous of Kelsey Timmerman. He has traveled all over the world to satisfy his insatiable curiosity about the people who make the stuff we wear and eat. Take this book, his second:
He wrote this book in less than a year while traveling to four continents to research it. It took me two years to write SUNRISE and I traveled to . . . Iowa. I have no idea how he managed to write such a lucid and empathetic account of how the other 95% of the world lives while spending much of his life on the road. I certainly couldn't do it. If you enjoy travel books, want to know more about the food we eat, or more about how those who produce it live, buy a copy of Kelsey's book.
I was also thrilled to spend some time with family I see too infrequently, so I'll leave you with this picture of my sister-in-law Caroline, her daughter Anna, and her son, Max. As you can see, it was a memorable Saturday night for all of us.

The Steelers were originally called the Pittsburgh Pirates when they started playing in 1933. It was common back then for new football teams to take the same name as the local professional baseball team.
Some players played for both Pirate teams until one day Scooter "Long Drive" McGowan got confused and instead of running for a touchdown, he ran the football field like a baseball diamond, touching a waterboy's head for first base, rounding second at center field and ending at third by sliding into and knocking over the team bench.
"He lost his cotton picking mind," said one observer. "They say he never recovered from that day, and from then on would run the same imaginary baseball diamond in strange places like parks, stores and schools. One day at mass at St. Boniface, he ran the bases again, touching second at the main altar and sliding into a confessional booth like it was third base."

Words of Others | Courage in Tunisia
The New York Times had a fantastic story on Saturday about how an insult to a single man helped touch off the street protests that drove out Tunisia's dictator. The man, a street vendor, set himself on fire in the street after he was slapped by an inspector and had his scale confiscated. He later died. Tunisia's inspectors are known for demanding bribes to avoid costlier fines. I thought this quote in the Times story was particularly striking:
- Bilal Zaydi, 20, saw the vendor's relatives and friends outside the governor's office that afternoon, throwing coins at the gate. "Here is your bribe," they yelled.
The Tunisia revolution is really amazing, and I hope it brings real democracy to the country.

Dayton to address gay rights rally at Capitol
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton will speak to the state's biggest annual gathering of gay rights activists at the state Capitol.
OutFront Minnesota is the state's leading gay-rights group. On Thursday it holds its annual Rally for Equality at noon on the front lawn of the Capitol. Previous rallies have drawn hundreds of gay rights supporters, and participants also take the chance to lobby their legislators on gay-rights issues.
Dayton supports legalized gay marriage, but Republican majorities in the state House and Senate are highly unlikely to get on board. Some Republicans are seeking a statewide vote to ban gay marriage in Minnesota's constitution, though a referendum measure may not get introduced until next year's legislative session.
Dayton as governor cannot block constitutional amendments from getting a statewide vote.

Hank Jeffrey's Birth Story
It was around 9pm and Jeremy and I were in bed watching TV. I was sitting up because its uncomfortable to lay down when your 9 months pregnant. All the sudden I felt like I peed my pants a little bit. I was annoyed and chalked it up as another lovely side effect of pregnancy. I stood up to go to the bathroom and felt a gush! I immediately knew that my water had broke! I went and sat on the toilet and felt a constant trickle. I was in total shock because I had seen my Midwife that morning and she had checked me and I was not dilated at all and baby was really high up.
I told Jeremy and he was really happy because he had been joking all evening that he hoped baby would come that night because he didnt want to go to work the next day. We called his mom and she and Jeremys sister came right over. I did some laundry and packed my hospital bags (I was flustered because I hadnt done all these things). I straightened up the house, it was a mess. I had to wash Jacks diapers. We finally left for the hospital as contractions started and got there around 11:30pm. They did the test and confirmed my water had broken and checked me and I was dilated to 2. I thought I had a long labor ahead of me and was kind of disappointed that I had arrived at the hospital so early. They checked me into a room and started an IV because I hadnt been tested for GBS yet. I changed into my own nightgown (the nurse thought I was crazy for not wearing theirs) and settled into bed. I wanted to try and rest while I was hooked up to the IV.
Around 1am I started to notice my contractions getting closer together and more intense. I called the nurse and she checked me and said I was dilated to 5! I was shocked; I had dilated 3cm in an hour and a half! At this point I still hadnt seen my midwife because they thought I would be laboring so long, she didnt come in right away. I was able to breathe through them. At this time the nurse hep locked my IV and I was able to get up and move around. I walked around my room while Jeremy watched TV. We called our Doula , Stacy and gave her an update that things were starting to pick up. She was on her way, but lives quite a ways away. We told her we thought she still had plenty of time. I went and sat on the toilet for a while and that seemed to help. I emptied my bladder and I think that really picked things up. I was tired so I got back in bed but was not comfortable to lay down so I sat up for a while and then got on all fours when contractions got more intense. They had me on the monitors for 20 minutes then I got to come off them for awhile.
This is where I kind of lost track of time. My guess around 2:30 am I started having a hard time getting through each contraction and started shaking uncontrollably. I remember thinking this is really hard, why is it happening so fast? The nurse checked me and I was 7-8. Looking back now I realize this was transition. I had prepared myself and knew all the signs for transition, but in the middle of it I didnt put all the signs together. I started saying I didnt want to do it anymore. I asked what they would give me if I asked for pain medication. The said nubain and Benadryl. I didnt ask for it. I started to doubt myself. Then all the sudden I had a lot of pressure and told the nurse I wanted up to go sit on the toilet, I had to have a bowel movement. I was really annoyed that they wouldnt let me, but looking back I realize that was just baby moving down and creating all the pressure. I said I wanted to push. I did and the nurse said to stop, the baby was coming. They called my midwife, who was changing into her scrubs I think. She came in and I pushed once and she told me to stop, while she slowly delivered the head. That was really hard because I wanted to just get the baby out! One more push and baby was on my stomach! It was so fast! I looked and said Oh another boy! I kept saying, thats it? Its over? I feel so good!
I told my midwife not to clamp or cut the cord and that we wanted the placenta. The nurse looked at me like I was crazy. I didnt care. Probably 5 minutes passed and I delivered the placenta. Somewhere in that time Jeremy cut the cord. We got to do skin to skin for some time and tried nursing but he didnt seem to interested. The nurse took him and cleaned him up and then he nursed for a half hour. I felt amazing! My doula Stacy walked in 5 minutes after Hank was born, she was so sorry she missed it and was really apologetic. None of us realized how fast this was going to go! My midwife told us to take our placenta out to my doulas car before pathology heard and try to make an issue out of it. My doula encapsulated it and brought it to me the next afternoon.
Hank Jeffrey was born at 3:22am after about 4 ½ hours of labor and about 6 hours after my water broke. He weighed 6lbs and 4 oz and was 19inches long, my smallest baby! I couldnt have asked for a more perfect birth!
Re: Hank Jeffrey's Birth Story
Awesome! Congratulations!
Re: Hank Jeffrey's Birth Story
Congrats! What a perfect birth story! You make it sound so easy...I'm praying that mine goes that fast!

Re: Hank Jeffrey's Birth Story
Great story...funny thing is my dh is Jeremy and hank is our boy name.;)
Re: Hank Jeffrey's Birth Story
Congratulations. Out of curiousity, did you have to pay your doula still? We had it written into our agreement that if she wasn't present then we were refunded everything but 75 dollars.

GT (Grand Touring) cars are production sports cars that have been modified to race on road circuits. The Grand Touring car evolved from the earliest makes of road cars from early 1900s. They were built with luxury, style and horsepower for their era, all three of which were highly desireable to the rich clientele who bought them.
These exclusive cars were raced through the 1920s and 1930s, especially in longer endurance events such as the Mille Miglia (1000 miles) that lent themselves to a "Grand touring" car. As mass production of sports cars became widespread post WWII, the availability of high powered racing cars around the world spurred an explosion of GT racing.
GT race cars differentiate themselves from Touring cars by being sports cars first, whereas touring race cars generally begin life as a family-type sedan.
Racing is run on road racing circuits throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Design and Construction
Race Car Models of This Type
Classes are specified for GT cars depending on power and level of modification. Sports cars from manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Ferrari, Ford, Ginetta, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Lotus, Maserati, McLaren, Mercedes, Nissan and Porsche participate in series.
Build Your Own GT Car
Knowledge Level
Building a GT race car requires an advanced knowledge of all aspects of the vehicle (Handling/operation, suspension, chassis, powertrain, aerodynamics, and safety). The initial cost of the base car is serious and any modifications being made should be approached with equally serious understanding.
To make the learning curve more manageable, it is recommended that would-be GT racers select an "economical" (relatively speaking) base vehicle and work their way up through competitive classes locally using that vehicle as their "development platform". Many of the available books provide basic to reasonably advanced knowledge in the aspects mentioned above, so they can provide a good reference alongside your experience.
Autocross may also provide a good initial starting point, as there is less likelihood of damage to your vehicle when running by yourself on a circuit.
Design Challenges
Suspension: Within the regulations of the sanctioning body class you wish to run in, you will want to design your car with:
- Maximum track width
- Minimum unsprung weight
- Maximum tire contact patch and grip through the largest, widest and stickiest tires permitted.
- Maximum brake stopping power
- Low ride height (with any required changes to the suspension geometry to ensure maximum tire contact patch on the road).
- Appropriate springs, anti-roll bars and damping to manage weight transfer and help the tires follow the surface of the road better.
Chassis: In GT racing, depending on the class, the production chassis may be modified to increase torsional rigidity, lighten the vehicle and increase safety. Changes to the placement of components (i.e. Battery) in order to redistribute weight balance can often go hand-in-hand with lightening.
Powertrain: Powertrain modifications can include extensive changes to the engine components and driveline components. The goals of changes to the powertrain should be to increase horsepower and engine efficiency. This can be accomplished through replacing stock components for increased internal flow (Intake/exhaust), improved combustion, reducing friction and removing/replacing power robbing accessories. In terms of final drive, any modifications such as limited slip differentials that increase power delivery to the road should be considered.
Aerodynamic: Depending on the class, aero devices and bodywork changes to enhance aerodynamics may be permitted. Reduction of drag should be a priority as frontal area of a production car is not changeable. Aero devices such as an underbody floor, air dam, wing (or spoiler) and diffuser are all possible depending on what is permitted by the regulations.
Designing the aero devices to work together and to balance front/rear downforce will provide optimal downforce and stability. Designing in adjustability to generate a wide range of downforce will give flexibility in setup.
Safety: Any circuit racing with other cars will require a safety cell structure, with a racing seat/harness. Other safety items such as a fuel safety cell and fire extinguisher may also be required. If a driver safety cell structure is not available off-the-shelf, it will need to be designed and fabricated.
If you intend to race under a sanctioning body, always read and understand the regulations of your chosen racing class before designing or building any race vehicle.

Construction Challenges
Having sufficient space is important, as a cramped workshop will be difficult to work in.
The tools to modify the engine, chassis and bodywork can add considerably to the cost of your project if you don't already have a workshop, but borrowing or renting items is also an option.
Many components permitted for GT racing can be bolt-on type components and therefore are within the mechanical skills of most people. Challenges include the number of components which are changeable, and the difficulty in changing them (i.e. Things like engine removal), which may require specialized workshop tools.
For driver safety cell structures that must be custom fabricated, there is the additional requirement of fitting it into the vehicle and of locating mounting points that do not compromise the uni-body chassis.
Build Costs
The base vehicle cost can be fairly high when dealing with sports cars, but used sports cars will offer a lower cost entry point, especially as the car will be a "development platform" for both the builder and driver.
Racing parts will likewise be lower in cost if the base vehicle is not exotic. If you have adequate knowledge, it is possible to select areas of modification that provide maximum value and keep costs to a minimum.
Build Effort
The effort depends on the number of areas that are modified, which is another good reason to start in a GT class that is entry-level or in Autocrossing. If your modifications are performed a little at a time, the effort will also be manageable and your experience will grow along side your knowledge.
Racing Cost
GT racing, by nature of its more expensive base vehicles, can consume a larger budget through racing tires, engine rebuilds, and damage repairs. If using Autocross as your "school", the costs can be kept much lower initially.
Transportation and Support Equipment
The vehicle will likely be trailered to the track unless kept in a street-legal configuration. Support equipment is usually carried in the trailer/towing vehicle.

Item Description...
At a young age, Gordon MacDonald recognized that he had inherited a "quitter's gene," and because of this--and an influential track coach--he began a lifelong quest for answers. "Why," he had to ask, "do some people finish what they start, persevere in moments of adversity, push themselves in the direction of their potential, and often make their greatest contributions in the latter half of life? Why do others expect to retire from life when they reach their senior years?" The element in those who don't quit is resilience. Those who have it, MacDonald insists, have gathered all the lessons from life--success and failures--to build a foundation of strength and character, preparing them to face anything. Using examples from the Bible, from his own life, and from the lives of contemporary people, MacDonald identifies the characteristics of resilience, leading readers through the self-assessment needed to develop them. The journey is demanding and humbling, he reminds us, but the rewards of living well are immeasurable.
Publishers Description
"It makes little difference how fast you can run the 100 meters when the race is 400 meters long. Life is not a sprint; it is a distance run, and it demands the kind of conditioning that enables people to go the distance."--Gordon MacDonald
Running Strong
Whose heart doesn't leap at the sight of a beautifullyconditioned runner, effortlessly gliding along, stride-bystride, mile-by-mile? And what runner gets to this place without a thankless--and often lonely--regimen of strategy and self-denial?
Isn't this the perfect metaphor of what your heart is longing for--running life's race with intentionality and grace? With strength and focus?
Well, you can. Veteran pastor and best-selling author Gordon MacDonald says you must develop resilience--the courage and ability to get up when you fall, to keep running when you're bone-weary, and to keep your eye on the goal even in the murkiest moments. Using the backdrop of his own experiences as a champion runner, MacDonald demonstrates how resilient people
Practice spiritual self-discipline to build stamina and grit;Know what's up ahead, what obstacles they will likely face; andBond with special friends who share their commitment to finishing well.Because he has also run many long, punishing laps in the tough race of life, MacDonald is uniquely qualified to coach and encourage you in developing that resilient spirit--to weather adversity, to finish what you start, and to never be satisfied with anything short of God's best for you.

February – Photography and more
Photography has been interesting the last month. A major event has happened in my life, and caused a state of personal depression on one hand, but vibrant fervor as a photographer on the other. The last few weeks have been shoot/shoot/shoot including personal portraiture, and corporate events. Here's a sample of some things I've photographed.
A few weeks ago my photography students at showcase went to the Oakland Cemetery. We brought a model with us dressed to match the scenery. Here are some of those photos. Rachel was the models name, and she knocked it out of the park for her first time modelling. Her makeup was done by her friend Sarah Green, and wardrobe by me.
Showcase had 2 fieldtrips scheduled that day, so right after I brought my 102 students to the Southeastern Railroad Museum in Duluth, GA. There's amazing texture to be found there, and also so much time to be lost into the history and past of these old trains.
The cemetery and railway museum were super fun to shoot. Something cool also is having the chance to shoot with a new makeup artist. I would like to introduce Tiffany Kilgore, an amazing makeup artist and also beautiful lady herself. I had her pose for a few portraits to try out her abilities, so have a look.
lastly this weekend I did my first maternity/couple shoot of the 2012. An old model friend Elizabeth is about to burst in a few weeks, so we did a shoot while her baby belly was BIG. Her and John were absolutely wonderful.

NOTE: I am not a fitness expert or personal trainer, nor am I a doctor. I am simply taking the training I have learned over the years and passing it onto you. I am not liable if you complete these exercises incorrectly and injure yourself.
Getting fit is not easy. When I was prepping for Air Force Basic Training, I had no idea where to start. However, I knew that running, push-ups, and sit-ups were all components of the fitness test. So… that's what I did. I started running every day and began practicing my push-ups and sit-ups.
It was tough, but I noticed results almost immediately. When I began, I could only do 20 sit-ups and 1 push-up. However, within a month, I was doing 20 push-ups and 50 sit-ups. The point is, if you are struggling with exercise and don't know where to begin, there are some very basic exercises you can do to put you on the right path.
Below, I've listed 5 different exercises you can do to start building strength in your core and upping your daily cardio activity.
1. Push-ups
The push-up. This has been my Achilles' heel for as long as I can remember. When you have no upper body strength, push-ups can be very difficult. I recommend starting on your knees if you can't do a regular push-up – and that's nothing to be ashamed of. A lot of people cannot do 1 regular push-up. If you can do a regular push-up, do as many of those as you can, and then move to your knees. Continue on your knees until you cannot do anymore. This is called muscle failure.
2. Sit-ups
Sit-ups are awesome for strengthening your lower abdomen and back muscles. Unfortunately, people often perform them incorrectly. Check out this article on how to perform a proper sit-up. It helps to anchor your feet. Again, if you cannot do many sit-ups, just start with 1. As you progress, you can perform as many as possible until complete muscle failure.
3. Planks
Planks are perfect for strengthening your core. They will help you in every way – making push-ups, lunges, and sit-ups easier with time. A plank can be performed in many ways. In the picture below, she is doing a plank in the upward push-up position, otherwise known as a straight-arm plank. I typically complete mine on my forearms. This is where you are holding yourself up with your forearms on the ground, shoulder-width apart. Check here for an example. You can also do side-planks. Check out that link above to find 20 different ways to do a plank. You'll want to start with 15 seconds, and try to work your way up to 30, 45, and 60 over time.
4. Jumping Jacks
Jumping jacks are where you're going to get your cardio. These are simple to do in your living room or garage, which is why I've added them to the list. You don't need a gym or weights to complete any of these exercises. A jumping jack is the easiest way to add some cardio to your work-out without leaving home. Start by completing 10-20. If you can do more, awesome. Work your way up to 100 PRE and POST work-out.
5. Lunges
Lunges are awesome for your legs. They also work your core muscles. If you're trying to tone up your thighs and butt, lunges are for you. A lot of people starting out find lunges to be the easiest. I think that's because you use your legs all the time, so they're used to working out, even if it's just walking around. See how to perform a proper lunge. Try to do 10 lunges for each leg (20 complete lunges) starting out. If you feel that you can do more, go grab a couple of canned goods and hold them in your hands to use as added weight. You'll be feeling the burn soon after.
These exercises may take additional effort for you to complete, based on your current fitness level, but they are not difficult or confusing to execute. All of these positions can be researched online. Don't forget to do some basic stretching so your muscles stay flexible.
You're not going to turn into a supermodel with these exercises. However, if you're looking to start the process of becoming fit, these are easy basics that can begin to pave the way.

Pressure Effect on the Curie Temperature of Intermetallic Compounds Gd_<1-x>Y_xCo_2
The pressure dependence of the magnetic transition temperature is studied for psudo-binary compounds (Gd1-xYx) Co2 (x=0∼0. 7) by measuring the temperature variation of ac permeability (μ) under pressure up to ∼10 kbar. With increasing temperature, μ for x≤0. 4 decreases sharply at the magnetic transition temperature TC and μ for x≥0. 5 makes a sharp peak just below the magnetic transition temperature T'C. It was found that TC and its pressure derivative (dTC/dP) decrease almost linearly with x (x≤0. 4), but T'C decreases and dT'C/dP increases with x (x≥0. 5). The x dependence of TC and dTC/dP are discussed in terms of the model of exchange enhanced paramagnetsim and that of T'C and dT'C/dP on the basis of the experimental results of rapid increase of high field susceptibility and decrease of magnetic moment of Co with x, reflecting both effects of environment and metamagnetic properties on Co.

Looking Back, March 16, 1961: Soybean company comes to Quincy
A newly formed Washington company will invest $2 million in a soybean processing and oil refining plant in Quincy.
Columbia Vegetable Oils, Inc., will begin operations when the plant is completed early next year. The company last Friday reached an agreement for warehouse facilities with the Quincy Port District. The storage building will be completed in time to accommodate this fall's soybean crop.
Lyle Kleinschmidt and Austin Fraser, both from Seattle, are principals in the company.
Kleinschmidt said Columbia Vegetable Oils is being established to meet a yearly potential soybean production of 30 thousand acres in the Columbia Basin.
The plant's initial capacity will be about 100 tons of soybeans each day, working on a 'round-the-clock, seven-day-a-week basis. Kleinschmidt said soybeans will be imported from the Midwest at first, until Columbia Basin Farmers begin growing the crop in quantity.
"At present prices soybeans can be a $2.5 to $3 million cash crop in the Columbia Basin each year," he said.
Refined soybean oil is used widely in food processing. Columbia Vegetable Oils will produce about 10 million pounds of oil each year. In addition, 45 million pounds of soybean meal and flour will be processed each year.
More than 36 million pounds of refined soybean oil presently is consumed in Pacific Northwest markets. Kleinschmidt said one of the beginning steps in organizing the company was a soybean market study undertaken last year by the Department of Commerce and Economic Development. The Department of Commerce aided the company in locating industrial sites.

Dear Friends of STS,
Water scarcity affects one in three people on every continent of the globe. Nearly 800 million people do not have access to clean water and an estimated 2.5 billion people lack access to basic sanitation. One of the Millennium Development Goals is to halve the proportion of people living without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation by 2015.
At School-to-School International we are on the ground in this fight to keep the water flowing. To date, we have built 14 wells and nine latrines in Guinea while providing health kits and training communities to manage and maintain this life-saving infrastructure.
In Africa, 90% of the work done to gather water is conducted by women – this translates to approximately 6 hours per day on average. In some countries, cutting the time a female has to travel to fetch water from 30 to 15 minutes increases school attendance among girls by 12%.
Imagine the impact you could make by helping girls to have a well right in their community or on their school grounds!
Donate to STS to build more wells and latrines and give the children the resources they need to be healthy and productive students. Go ahead, make that gift today.

It's almost the end of the month already, and gamers everywhere are feeling the excitement as they anticipate what the PS Plus October 2016 free games are. Rumors suggest several AAA games are in store for subscribers this upcoming month.
The video game subscription service will be announcing the list of PS4 free games for October, as well as PS3 and PSP titles very soon. As anticipation continues to grow, many titles have been thrown into the mix of possible PS Plus free games for next month. More or less, these titles are almost a shoo in for October.
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag
This Assassin's Creed installment has already made its way to Xbox gamers as part of Xbox Games with Gold 2016 last month. Given that XB players have received the title for free already, PS4 gamers should be getting their hands on AC4 soon too.
Released in 2013, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag received great reviews from gamers and critics. IGN gave it a 8.5 out of 10, while Metacritic gave it an 83% rating.
READ: 'Call of Duty Infinite Warfare' Beta for Xbox One to Release on October 21
Watch Dogs
Watch Dogs 2 release date is just a few months away and to build up hyper for the upcoming title, Ubisoft may opt to have the game released free for PS Plus October 2016. Recent reports also suggest that Xbox Free Games with Gold October 2016 will also carry the title. Obviously, this will be a good marketing tool to get more people into the game before part 2 drops a month after.
READ: Xbox Free Games with Gold October 2016: Assassins Creed 4, Watch Dogs Included
Skyrim Remastered
Rumors of Skyrim being available next month have been circulating in the gaming world. While Skyrim Remastered for PS4 will probably not be available for free, since release date is set for October 28, 2016, Skyrim for PS3 may just be included to the PS Plus free games list.
The video game was released in 2011 and has since been one of the top video games by Bethesda.

Fallout 4
PS Plus October 2016 may include Fallout 4 as well. Although nothing has been confirmed yet, the game has been the talk of the PlayStation town as of recent because of its incapability to offer mods to PS gamers. Possibly, in hopes to appease the PlayStation crowd, they would add Fallout 4 to PS Plus October 2016 list.
So far, while many signs point to these games being part of PS Plus October 2016 free games, Sony has kept mum about the final list. Sony is expected to announce the complete list of free games this week.

By David Bush
I've had the privilege over the past few years to be a part of the Men's Fraternity classes on Wednesday nights. As the leader of a breakout group, I would have the opportunity to facilitate discussion and encourage men to apply the lessons that were taught via video by Pastor Robert Lewis.
One of the points Pastor Lewis made repeatedly was the fact that boys today are missing out on a significant rite of passage that used to be imbedded in the fabric of nearly all cultures. In past generations, the transition from boyhood to manhood was overseen by fathers and the men of a tribe, clan, or village. It was sometimes conferred ceremonially, at other times by inclusion in adult activities.
In the void of this kind of cultural affirmation, today's adolescents and young men are left to wonder if they possess what it takes to be a man. Our culture is often filling this void with suggestions that manhood is comprised of things that are associated more with rebellion, violence, and unsafe or unhealthy practices than virtue or maturity.
As the father of four boys, I was convicted that I had a responsibility to not only define what a biblical man was, but to affirm to my sons that they were on their way to achieving this goal. I shared with the men in my breakout group my desire to take action in this area, and started to think about what a "manhood ceremony" would look like. Weeks turned to months, and months turned to more than a year. When my oldest son graduated from college, my second son got engaged to be married, and my third son was approaching 18, the realization came to me that it was "now or never" to fulfill my responsibility and commitment.
With all of my family home for Christmas break, and my two oldest son's girlfriend and fiancé in town as well, I executed my plan. Along with one set of grandparents, we all went out for a nice semi-private dinner. Retiring to our home for dessert, I read to all a list of the things that I thought comprised biblical manhood, and contrasted this with what our culture suggested manhood meant. I then affirmed to each of my three oldest where they had met the qualifications of biblical manhood, shared something of the heritage they would now be a part of sustaining, and expressed my love and pride for each of them. I concluded the speech by presenting each with a special commemorative gift.
Will this be a game-changer for my boys? I don't know for sure. What I do know is that I have had the opportunity to publically express my thoughts, God's word, and my love and pride in a memorable and tangible way. My boy's grandparents were able to see how their faith and involvement in their lives was bearing fruit that will pass to another generation. Two likely future wives of my oldest sons were able to hear a biblical definition of manhood and see ways that their men were achieving this. And a youngest son was given a picture of manhood and a goal to strive for.
All this, plus I got to fulfill a commitment I made to my band of brothers. Better late than never.
