We are looking for teachers involved in coaching or PE delivery, ideally for pupils aged 9-13 years. We are working with the NFL to develop a 6 and 12 week schools programme that will introduce kids (and their teachers!) to American football through non-contact 'Flag' football.
This unique programme will be delivered by experts during PE lessons, and supported by classroom teachers to help reinforce learning and get their pupils excited about what is likely an unfamilar sport.
We are producing resources both for the PE lesson and the classroom teachers.
The classroom resources will focus on the NFL's values (Respect, resilience, integrity and responsibility) and touch on health and wellbeing topics such as fitness, safety and healthy eating.
We'll be looking for feedback on the synopsis (general outline) as well as the typescript (the more developed content). The reviews will take place between now and the end of August.
We estimate that this work will take roughly 2-3 hours (including both the synopsis and typescript phases). We are offering £60 for your time.
All materials will be provided, along with a template for your feedback.

Matthew Shipp, "4D" (Thirsty Ear)
Matthew Shipp's records are like letters, describing through his piano whatever emotions, obsessions and encounters he's gone through lately. When he made "4D," he must've been feeling a little nostalgic, a little bruised, and (these are all solo performances) a little lonely at age 50.
On the more purely musical side, Shipp poses some hypotheses and works 'em out: What if Rach met Bach and smoked some pot ("4D")? What if Thelonious Monk's right hand and Cecil Taylor's left elbow played a duet ("The Crack in the Piano's Egg")? What if he impregnated the beatnik rhythm of Monk's "Epistrophe" with an entirely different melody and then got angry at his own confidence ("Blue Web in Space")? What if Grieg staged a Riverdance version of a nursery rhyme ("Frere Jacques")? This stuff is fun.
On the other hand, such entertaining exercises seem like a distraction from what lies heaviest on Shipp's mind. His most abstract moments here carry distinct whiffs of apprehension, bewilderment, argument, hesitation, compulsive repetition. And the journey of his heart is unmistakable. In "Equilibrium," joyful arpeggios turn to sour disgust and back to joy again, setting up the listener for later tales of ambivalence Shipp tells via standards (not normally a big part of his repertoire). "What Is This Thing Called Love?" stumbles with giddy energy toward near collapse, then gathers itself together to rush nervously onward. "Autumn Leaves" blends flowery sentimentality with twitches of awkwardness and prodding accusations. The facile beauty of "Prelude to a Kiss" borders on sarcasm. And damn, what a conclusion is "Greensleeves," with Shipp pouring out his hopes and dreams in waves of "MacArthur Park"-like euphoria before pounding them to a bloody pulp.
Shipp's soft touch and lazy rhythm, which often serve more intellectual explorations, are well suited to expressing the conflicted shivers of electricity that pass through the hapless bags of meat that we are. So when Cole Porter asks what love is . . . well, Shipp's got some kind of answer.
Greg Burk, "Many Worlds" (482 Music)
Greg Burk (not this writer but an avantian pianist based in Italy) has gotten himself a nice band. Now Burk can transport the aesthetic of mid-'60s Coltrane into the third millennium in ways I never imagined I'd hear from him.
The key utility player is Henry Cook, whose saxes and flutes lend distinctiveness to a variety of moods ranging from dewdrop African dawn to Ibiza day-bake/night-dance to Cecil-style intensity. A bit of a beauty slave, Burk owns just the crisp yet sensitive phalangial dexterity to maximize his devotion, yet he's properly untidy, always pushing his paint off the edge of the canvas. Bassist Ron Seguin keeps things in focus with the contained bigness of his sound -- dig his fibrous extended solo on "BC." And drummer Michael Lambert tickles a mess of cymbals, usually just suggesting that you imagine some kind of interior rhythm.
Not many Trane devotees allot equal respect to the rambling openness of McCoy Tyner and the elevational Indisms of Alice Coltrane (whose worldwide influence becomes ever more apparent). Greg Burk likes both, and Greg Burk concurs.
Jon Rappoport-Bob Magnusson-Putter Smith, "47 Years After the End of History" (Qpress)
"In the long run," writes pianist-painter-writer Jon Rappoport in his notes, "non-structures are more important than structures."
I don't agree; avoiding structures is the same as thinking out loud, which rises to the level of consistent art only in the cases of genii such as Borah Bergman or Larry Karush, and I suspect even they enter an improvisation with some kind of map in mind.
Luckily, here Rappoport gets support from two great bassists who don't agree with him either. Free improvisation amounts to mere footnotes in the vast biographies of Bob Magnusson and Putter Smith; here, each finds ways to lend structure to duets with Rappoport. After a unison or an alternating dialogue, Magnusson often diverts his deep, hard-surfaced pluck into a walk or a determined rhythmic line that gives Rappoport something to hang his clouds on. The more sympathetic partner is Smith, whose grave and grainy bowed bass amplifies the reluctant pondering of "Clipper Ship in the Milky Way" into an emotional cry that could connect with anyone.
Both bassists join the pianist's spontaneous rambles for the 20-minute title track, a coalition of shadings and delineations worthy of a Rappoport abstract painting. For dimensions, three is a good number.
So history ended when, in the early '60s? I guess it was the Beatles' fault.

"It's happening, live with it," Wanda teased.
"Hey, aren't you the one who's going to get marry to?" Kitty asked.

"Anyt'hing de matter mon ami?" Remy asked.
Piotr turn to look at Remy, "I'm just nervous that's all."
"Don't tell me you're having second thoughts about this..." Remy look at him in horror.
He didn't answer, "Peter, what's wrong?" Scott asked.
"I wish my family were here to see this..." He answered.
"Actually..." Warren began, "It was going to be a surprise, but Kitty and I went to Russia and brought them here. She'll surprise you with it. So, be surprise, don't let her know, or she'll kill me."
Piotr smiled, he gave his winged friend one giant hug, "your secret is safe with me, Warren. And thank you so much."

Everyone was on the dance floor, Piotr actually looked surprise when he saw his whole family there with him, beside Makhail that is, his little sister, Illyana was the flowergirl. She such a sweetheart.
Piotr was dancing with Illyana and Kitty, they look really happy. Jean and Scott, Bishop and Tessa, Betsy and Warren, and Logan and Ororo were all dancing too.
Rogue just got off the dance floor with Kurt. He talked to her about Remy, Rogue didn't know why but Kurt went on to talk about his sister and the Cajun getting marry, having kids, giving him a neice or newfew. She just laughed.
Rogue is standing by the punch bowl with Kurt.
Mystique was talking to Charles Xavier, and they were actually laughing together, it's priceless. Kurt took a picture of it, "smile Rogue."
"What? Wait!" Before Rogue could hide her face, came a flash from Kurt's camera. "Ah think Ah'm gon' be blind..."
Rogue look around the room, everyone was dancing with someone. Bobby with Jubilee, the bride with the groom, Logan, and Ororo, Rahne with Sam, Tessa with Bishop, Scott with Jean, and many other people that Rogue are still getting aquinted with.
She search for Remy. There were no sign of him. She saw him this morning. She heard heavy breathing behind her.
She turn around and there he was. He looked worn out "Wha's wrong Swamp Rat?"
"Not'ing, mon amour" Remy relied after taking a deep breath "Wan' t'dance chere?"
Rogue smiled, she place her hand out for him to take. He took her to the dance floor. Everyone made room for them, because they all knew Remy's intention tonight.
They were slow dancing. Their eyes met. He smiled, "Rogue."
"Hmm," she said, sniffing him
"Do yo' dink yo' can spent yo' whole life wit' dis Swamp Rat?" Remy grinned, he was being serious...
Rogue looked at him. "Of couse Remy, Ah kno' Ah can, why ya ask?"
Remy kneel down on his knees, the room grew quiet. Everyone was watching with open eyes. Wanda and John was holding each other hands. Kitty had a smile on her face and she looks really excited. Jean and Scott had this mistivious look on their face. Logan look like he was about to snarl, but Ororo elbowed him, making him smile. Bishop had his arm around Tessa's shoulder, they look really happy. Mystique look as if she was going to kill Remy, but he
Remy took her hand with his left, the pull out a small golden green box and flip it open.
Rogue's eyes widen as she see the diamond ring inside. "Rogue, will yo' marry me?"
There was silence for a moment, which made Remy worry that she'll refuse.
Rogue look at him and smiled "Je fais."
She helped him up and gave her a passionate kiss. Everyone clapped their hands then came over to congratulate them. So, that was why the LeBeau was here.
"Ah gotta tell yer somethin' ta, Remy." Rogue said afterward.
"What is it chere?"
"We're goin' t'have a baby." Rogue said it quiet, Remy could hear.
His eyes widen, he look really happy too. "Dat's great chere."
Everyone clapped their hands again, the two kiss again.
"Welcome t'de famille," she heard Jean-Luc said.
Rogue turn around, smiled, and gave the older man a hug. "Merci sir."
"Yo' can call moi pere or Jean-Luc now," he acknowledge.
Rogue nodded, "finally dat petite Cajun had propose!"
She saw Mattie behind Jean-Luc, "I'm so happy f'r yo' child!"
"Merci Tante," Rogue reply and looked at Remy who was with his brother Henri and Mercy.
The three walked over to Remy, earning a big hug from Mercy.
Remy looked around for his cousins, "where's Theo and Lapin?"
"In de bathroom, properly cookin' somet'ing messy." Mattie guessed.
The X-Men joined in the fun, Jean-Luc saw Mystique and immediately walk toward her, "bonjour chere."
"Oh no, it's you!" Mystique said sarcastically.
"Wha'? Yo' don' like moi?" Jean-Luc grinned.
"No." She answered.
"Come on Mozher, have some fun." Kurt said.
"Oui, listen t'yo' son chere. Wan' t' dance?" Jean-Luc asked, without waiting for an answer, he grabbed her hand and pulled her out to the dance floor.
"That guy is strang," everyone heard Logan said, they all look at him, "what? I wouldn't wanna dance with that woman."
"Vatch it man, zhat's my mozher your talking about," Kurt defended Mystique.
"Yea Logan, it nice to see Raven as a whole new woman, how about we dance?" Ororo stated, she pulled a Jean-Luc stunt and pull Logan onto the dance floor. "Congratulation Rogue, Remy!"
"Merci Stormy," Remy said.
"Thanks Ororo," Rogue said.
"This is so wonderful!" Wanda squeal from behind, "Aww, we got proposed in the same week, and we're pregnant at almost the same time!"
"Wow, I'd never seen you this happy before," Scott addressed Wanda.
"That's because we don't see much of each other, Shade." Wanda stated. "So, how are the wife and kid?"
"There great, so, you're getting marry am I right?" Wanda nodded, "that's good to hear, who's the lucky man?"
"Well, he's not actually a man, he's more like a baby," Wanda smiled, "my baby."
"Haha, luv." John walk up and gave Wanda a kiss on the cheek, "that'll be me, mate."
Scott chuckled, "Congratualtion to the four of you."
"Thanks Scotty," Rogue, Remy, Wanda, and John said.
"I'm so happy!" Kitty gave Rogue the biggest hug.
"You're married!" Rogue smiled, "this is a great day!"
"You can say that again!" Kitty snicker.
"Come on guys, let's dance!" Betsy announced after a new song played, everyone got onto the dance floor, everyone with a partner.
A slow song came on, everyone look at their partner and smiled, Rogue and Remy couldn't help but chuckle, "wha's so funny Rem?"
"Remy could ask yo' de same, amour."
"Jus' enjoyin' how funny yo' look." Rogue smirked.
"Yo' look funnier, chere." Remy said back. What she didn't know what, he was making hand signals behind her back.
She felt suspious and look behind her back, seeing, Theo and Lapin, she raised an eyebrow, "wha' are dey up t'?"
"They'd bein' creative chere." Remy grinned, "dat's somet'ing dey do best."
All of a sudden, the wall turn to different colors and paterns. Then a slide show appeared, everyone gathered to their table and took a seat, they watched the slide show and loved it, all these pictures Theo gathered from the X-Men day one.
"Je t'aime Roguey." Remy whispered in Rogue's ear.
"Ah love yer even more Swamp Rat."
"Remy love yo' more River Rat."
"Shut up Cajun, Ah love yer de same among as ya love me."
"Remy shut up now..." They took a seat next to the bride and groom.
The slide show was about every senior X-Men, from before their mutant abilities to now. Everyone was wondering the same thing, where did those guys get the pictures?
Remy, "t'eir thiefs," Remy answered, praising his cousins. Remy look really proud of them. He make it sound as if he raised them. Everyone just rolled their eyes at his ego.
"When is that guy going to chance?" Warren asked sarcastically.
"I'm gonna take a guess and say... never," Betsy Braddock snickered.
"Becareful, he's dangerous you know," Kitty chuckled.
"Oui, Remy is dangerous, dat's why Roguey like him," Rogue answer, trying to mock his accent.
"Dat's true, an' Roguey love a challenge," Remy said, his and Rogue's nose are now brushing off each other.
"Kids," Logan gaunt, "if yer gonna do anything further, I suggest you get a room."
It only made Rogue and Remy grinned.
"An' Remy suggest yo' b' more quiet when Stormy's in yo' room," Remy grinned, making Ororo blush, Logan would of jump him if Ororo wasn't holding him back.
"Hey Wanda," Rogue said, Wanda look at her, "how ya feelin'?"
"I feel like I can kill John... I need chocolate!" Wanda answered and took a seat next to Rogue, "speakin' of chocolate, do you have any on your hand?"
"Hmm, not that Ah know of," she replied.
"You suck." Wanda said simply.
"Ah know," Rogue replied with a smile.
"I cannot take this anymore," Wanda begin to sign, making John look at her, "saying everything I said before..."
Rogue shook her head and turn to Remy, who was making fun of Logan, "stop pickin' on Wolvie, Gumbo."
Logan snorted, "thanks kid."
Rogue smiled and lean her head against Remy's chest, it was warm, "ya have a warm heart..."
Remy smile down on her, "an' ot was b'cause o'Roguey, b'fore he meet yo', his heart was cold."
"Ya never had a cold heart, or ya woulda kill me the first time we meet..." Rogue stated.
"Look at our children Raven, it was as if it was yesterday, dat we adopted t'em..." Jean-Luc said, pretending to sniff.
"Oh shut up, kids grow up and forget their parents." Mystique rolled her eyes.
"Non chere, Henri is all grown up, but he still live with his pere." Jean-Luc said, "yo' jealous?"
"NOO!" Mystique growled, a kiss from behind calmed her down.
"I love you mozher," Kurt said after he gave her a kiss, "and I'm sure Rogue does too."
"Thank you Kurt," Mystique smiled and played with her son's check.
Kurt look at Jean-Luc and gave her a childish smile, "is he going to be my new daddy?"
That caught Mystique off guard, "wha---"
Kurt grinned and teleported away.
"What's so funny Kurt?" Kitty asked the snickering elf.
Kurt point toward Mystique's direction, Rogue raised an eyebrow, "are ya trying ta get Mystique with Jean-Luc?"
"No, I just want to see mom blush." Kurt answered, "he's an awsome man, Remy!"
"Umm, merci?" Remy look confused, "Remy never had anyone compliment on his pere b'fore..."
"Your welcome man!" Kurt said happily and teleported away, where he'd go, nobody knows.
Scott was bouncing Nathan on his leg, the kid giggle, "can you say daddy?"
"Can you say mommy?" Jean smiled when Scott look at her.
"Vime Vravel." Nathan answered and start giggling again.
Jean and Scott look at each other, "Vime Vravel?"
"I think he's trying to say, time travel, luv." Betsy smiled and play with the child's cheek, he look at her strangely, "aww, I can't wait to get my own kid someday," she turn to Warren, "are we going to have any, luv?"
Jean and Scott snicker as Warren look for an answer.
"Good luck bubby," Scott smiled and turn his attention back to Nathan, "thank you Jean."
"For what?" She look clueless for a telepath, there's a lot on her mind lately.
"For always being there for me, for being my wife, and for giving me a child," he said and kiss her on the head.
"No problem Scott," Jean said and place a hand on her tummy, "so... you won't mind if I say... we're going to have another baby?"
Scott fainted, Jean snickered, that's how he reacted when she announched that she's pregnant with Nathan.
"He's t'girly." Remy stated, "Remy took de news like a homme."
"Not when Rogue said she's havin' twin..." Rogue joked. Remy dropped his mouth, "Ah'm kiddin' Cajun."
"Remy kno' dat chere." Remy smiled and put his ears on her belly.
"You know, the baby won't kick early in the pregnancy," Remy turn around and see Tessa, Bishop behind her, Remy grinned.
"Tess! Lucas!" Remy got up and circled Bishop, "when are yo' goin' t', yo' kno'."
Bishop cough to get Rogue's attention, she just grin at him, "tha's right Lucas, when are you?"
Tessa raised an eyebrow, she's a telepath, she couldn't read neither Rogue or Remy's head because she's not a strong telepath and that they have a strong mental shield around their head. Even if she wasn't a telepath, she would know what was going on, she smiled, "stop it you two, we're here to have fun, not to pick on Bishop."
"Awww," Remy put a hand over his heart, "she's sticking up for him."
Rogue and Tessa rolled their eyes, "sit, LeBeau!"
Immediately, Remy sat down. Tessa and Bishop took a seat behind them. They turn their attention back to the slide show, it was showing the present, a picture of everyone in that room was shown. Everyone was at ease, so active, and so happy.
Jean-Luc was flirting with Mystique, Kurt was laughing at his mother's expression, Betsy and Warren are about to kiss, Scott just woke up, Jean holding Nathan and both are laughing at him, Ororo and Logan are talking, smiles on their face, Xavier and Beast discusing something behind them, Kitty and Piotr are tickling Piotr's younger sister; Illyana; who's laughing so hard, John got Wanda her chocolate and she seem very happy, Bishop and Tessa are showing interest in each other; their eyes are on each other, Jubilee, Bobby, and the rest of the former New Recruit are doing the chicken on the dance floor along with the LeBeau, Jamie is the DJ, and finally, the last shot was shown Rogue and Remy kissing each other passionately...

Tyler Hofmann-Reardon
The past weekend Kerr Stadium hosted the 2014 Women's Soccer Roanoke Invitational. The tournament featured Johns Hopkins, Franklin and Marshal, ODAC rival Lynchburg, and your Roanoke Maroons. The Maroons, 2-0 entering the tournament, were set to face a tough Franklin and Marshal squad on Saturday, followed by the #5 NCAA Division III team in the nation, Johns Hopkins, on Sunday.
The first match against Franklin and Marshal saw Roanoke in control from the opening kick. The Maroons dominated the pitch and kept up constant offensive pressure on F&M, firing five shots on goal, including one off the crossbar, during the first half. F&M struggled to get any offense going, and each time they managed to force the ball into Roanoke's end of the field, the Maroons played stellar defense and quickly stifled the attack. F&M was held to only one shot on goal in the entire 45 minute period. However, due to solid defense on both sides and a few unlucky breaks for the Maroons, the score was tied 0-0 at the half.
The Maroons came out firing again in the second half, launching two quick shots within the first minute, forcing F&M back on their heels. Linnea Kremer (14) played a stellar second half at midfield and set up a number of the Maroons nine shots on goal in the half. Roanoke's defense continued to shut down F&M's attack, and held their opponent to four shots on goal, most of which were easy scoops for goalie Sarah Dvorak (00). Yet, once again, both teams held each other to zero goals, and the game went into a 10 minute, "golden goal" overtime. In "golden goal" play, the first team to score wins the game, so the pressure was on both teams to score quickly and hold the other to no shots.
Both teams amped up the defensive intensity in overtime, and the ball stayed around midfield for most of the period. Roanoke managed to get only one shot on goal and F&M never even got close to attempting a shot. After ten minutes of fast-paced back and forth, the score was still 0-0 and both teams prepared for another 10 minute "golden goal" overtime.
The second overtime was a completely different story. F&M broke through the Maroon's defense early in the period and rifled a wide-open shot at the goal, but Dvorak was there to make an incredible diving stop that had everyone in the stands on their feet. The Maroons took advantage of the momentum shift and cranked up the offensive pressure, forcing F&M to play defense for nearly the rest of the period. Still, the Maroons failed to find the net until, with the period winding down, Ashley Barnes (2) blasted a beautifully placed, deep shot, to the top shelf of the goal, just out of the keeper's reach, giving the Maroon's a 1-0 victory in double overtime.
The next day, Sunday, on a rain soaked field, the Maroons began their second contest of the tournament against Johns Hopkins. The Maroons were set to have a tough match against the #5 team in the nation to begin with and, coming off a thrilling win the night before, the stage was set for a letdown game. Coming out of the gate, Hopkins showed why they were #5 in the nation. They were firing on all cylinders on both offense and defense, forcing the ball into Roanoke's end of the pitch for nearly the entire first half. Forced to play scramble defense in the face of a dominating Hopkins offensive front, the Maroons committed a penalty leading to a 10 foot shot for a Hopkins striker. She blasted a shot and Sarah Dvorak made an incredible stop, giving the Maroons some breathing room. However, it was not to last. Just a few minutes later, a Maroon defended committed a tripping penalty in the box, setting up a Hopkins penalty kick. The referee deemed the trip intentional and issued a red card, forcing the Maroons to play with only ten players the rest of the match. Once again, Dvorak got the Maroons out of a jam by pulling off an incredible feat, blocking the penalty kick and the rebound shot. Unfortunately, the Maroons were unable to capitalize after Dvorak's miraculous saves, and Hopkins continued to fire shot after shot. By the end of the first half, Hopkins had totaled 13 shots on goal, and the Maroons had only tallied one. Thankfully, Dvorak stopped 11 of the 13 shots to keep the score at a manageable 2-0 entering halftime.
In order to turn things around, the Maroons were going to have to come out in the second half with a different plan of attack and with the mindset that they were going to come back. Unfortunately, the second half was nearly a mirror image of the first. Hopkins got off another 13 shots on goal, Dvorak made another couple of beautiful saves, but Hopkins still found a way to get two more past her and the Maroons defense. Roanoke was once again unable to find the net, and the final score was 4-0. This may have simply been the result of Hopkins being the better team, or maybe the expended all of their energy in Saturday's thriller.
Whatever the case may be, the Maroons are bound to come into their next home game, against ODAC rival Washington and Lee, with a chip on their shoulder, ready to give it their all. Be sure to come out and support them at Kerr stadium on September 17 at 7:00PM for what's sure to be an exciting game.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is asking sportsmen to follow burn bans throughout the state as concerns about accidental fires due to drought grow.
Officials say they are worried about dry conditions caused by Tennessee's drought.
"We are requesting that our sportsmen refrain from building campfires on all WMAs, but it is required in counties with burn bans," said Ed Carter, the executive director of TWRA.
Carter noted that just because a ban is not yet in place in a particular county, hunters should keep in mind the dry conditions. Natural gas or propane grills are cooking alternatives to campfires, he noted.
"While we don't want anyone to get into trouble we have to warn everyone that criminal penalties could apply for creating a wildfire, and that penalty could include the cost of suppressing it," he added.
More counties may be added, but the following are already under a burning ban: Claiborne, Sevier, Loudon, Jefferson, Monroe, and Robertson.
Also on Monday, Putnam County officials issued a burn ban that all outside burning not only in the county, but in each of the four cities.
"With the severe drought conditions we are experiencing, we don't want to put our citizens or firefighters at risk with a fire that could have been prevented," Putnam County Fire Chief Tom Brown stated. "Not only is the fire itself destructive, but the smoke affects children and the elderly, especially ones with lung diseases like asthma and emphysema."

It is not so far from now, although it is just the end of the XX century, the time when we discussed outlooks of the use of biotechnologies in medicine and pharmacy. These hopes were connected mainly with new microbiological products and new materials (polymers) for pharmaceutics, biomedicine and organ transplantation. Now in the XXI century, we are much more enthusiastic about outlooks of nanotechnologies for our life and environment.

What became most striking about the survey results, however, was the pat- tern that emerged when comparing the preferences of individual respondents for one screening to that same respondent's preferences in other screenings. In so doing it became evident that those who disliked or were neutral about one choice of electronic music were likely to be enthusiastic about another such choice.

Since the cost of manufacturing a custom train part on a small-scale 3D printer is only $25, Kendrick's niche market of loyal consumers can afford to manufacture their own train parts -- no investment in factory-scale production is needed. Imagine if a model train enthusiast purchased Kendrick's electronic blueprint and tried to produce the stainless steel train cowcatcher (shown in the figure) in a factory. The high cost of setting up a factory infrastructure would be well out of the reach of the average consumer.

We just got an exclusive clip from the country singer, and in it, she and her song-writing pals talk about that specific pro-chick tune, and how Lena Dunham's project definitely shaped it. Just like the show, the song is about all of those different types of women out there, and how, well, let's face it, we don't know what in the hell we want in life half the time.
The lyrics have Facebook status and meme quote written all over them, too. "If you think you're the only one she'll want in this world then you don't know nothin' about girls," they read.
As we all know, Miranda is all about showing off her girl power. From running those chick-inspired boutiques to owning that adorable bed and breakfast, she's total proof that girls kick ass. Check out her Pinterest page, she even gives her fans home decor tips, and fun ideas for dog rescues.
See what else Miranda had to say about "Girls" by watching the entire clip below. The song is pretty much our 2015 anthem right now...

Announcing the launch of Rational Test Workbench 9.1
Announcing the launch of Rational Test Workbench 9.1 Matt Tarnawsky - Offering Manager Service Virtualization | March 15, 2017320 Views
It's official! Rational Test Workbench 9.1 is now available!
We've been working diligently with our customers, our support and services teams, who have all provided great feedback since our 9.0 release. The feedback has led to some great improvements — thank you all for contributing to make the Rational Test Workbench better. Let's explore what's new in each area of our testing tools, starting with features for integration testing & service virtualization.
Integration Testing & Service Virtualization
Publish stubs to Docker with more transports
We have further developed the capability to deploy virtual services in Docker containers, providing more flexibility in how virtual services can be used. This was initially limited to stubs using the HTTP or IBM WebSphere MQ transports. With this release, we have extended this capability to include: JMS, MQTT, TIBCO EMS, TIBCO SmartSockets, SoftwareAG Integration Server, TCP, UDP, FIX, TIBCO RendezVous, SAP RFC, and IBM WebSphere SIBus.
Use the latest MQ, WAS, and z/OS technologies
As your test environments evolve, so your test tools need to evolve too. Rational Integration Tester and Rational Test Virtualization Server are ready to support your migration from older versions of IBM MQ, IBM WebSphere Application Server and z/OS to the latest versions.
Integrate with API Connect
Rational Integration Tester provides synchronization support for importing Swagger or WSDL definitions from the Developer Portal of IBM API Connect version 5. As part of the import operation, you can automatically create API tests and virtual services, allowing you to test with your APIs from the very beginning of your project, whether on premises or on IBM Bluemix.
Improved management of RTCP environments
Rational Test Control Panel environments can now be deleted in the UI, the Ant tasks, the command-line, and the REST API, saving you time and helping you manage your environments.
Functional Testing
Better and easier browser actions
Today's websites need tools that test not just what happens inside the browser pane, but also in the controls of the browser itself. Does your website respond correctly when the browser window is maximized, for example? We've enhanced browser semantics, so you can script interactions against not just the site itself, but with the browser as well.
Record easier with new capabilities
You can now create test cases more quickly by using several new capabilities: recording right-click actions, splitting a Web UI or mobile test, or inserting comments. You can also record and play back tests on your favourite browsers Firefox and Chrome on Mac OS.
Extract test components and insert custom JavaScript into tests
Test files improvements were made as well. For example, when you copy part of a script to another script, the associated test variables are now also copied, saving time when setting up new scripts.
You can also insert custom JavaScript code in tests for mobile Web UI applications.
Run tests through Jenkins
To provide more flexible execution of functional tests, we've added the capability to run Web UI tests, compound tests, and schedules from Jenkins with a dedicated plugin.
Accelerate functional testing
Another way that you can now speed up your testing is through our accelerated functional testing. Rather than executing each test in sequence, you can now distribute a set of tests across machines and run your Web UI tests in parallel, providing faster feedback to your development team.
Check out our experimental features
There are several experimental features in version 9.1. For example, you can now create support for testing of additional UI controls and frameworks with our Extensibility editor. Additionally, you can now use Docker containers for testing. Look at the complete list of experimental features in our release notes. Give them a try in a non-production environment and be sure to let us know what you think at email@example.com
Performance Testing
Improved recording
Extract only the data you require to generate tests by filtering out unnecessary domains after HTTP and service test recording has completed. You can also record secured sites by automatically installing and uninstalling the Rational Performance Tester recorder root certificate.
HTTP and SOA test extension capabilities
The HTTP and SOA test extensions have had a number of new capabilities added to them with this release: Use the PATCH functionality of the HTTP protocol, test the HTTP return codes such as '404 page not found' and '505 Internal server error' in stubs, use Server Name Indication TLS protocol for HTTP transport, or use the PUSH functionality of the HTTP/2 protocol in the HTTP and SOA test extensions. You can also add pre-processor and post-processor actions to requests for the HTTP test extension.
Customize, view or create summary reports
Reporting has also seen several enhancements. It is now possible to view changes in how the system has performed in response to a test by creating trend reports; executive summaries can also be created for each test. Further customization of reports is also possible with the addition of stacked bar charts
You can read more about any of the above, along with other enhancements, in the release notes for the 9.1 release at https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSBLQQ_9.1.0/com.ibm.rational.rit.reldoc.doc/topics/rit_readme.html
Following the official delivery of the Rational Test Workbench 9.1, we are looking forward to hearing more feedback from you and building even better software for you in the future.
Visit our HCL Products and Platforms page at www.hcltech.com/products-and-platforms on for all things Testing!
As always, we are here to help, so don't hesitate to reach out.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Project Description
Database Benchmark is one of the most powerfull open source tools designed to stress test database management systems with large data flows.
The application performs two main test scenarios:
- Insertion of large amount of randomly generated records with sequential or random keys;
- Read of the inserted records, ordered by their keys.
Database Benchmark is a stress test tool; it is not a complex performance measuring tool.
It measures the following basic parameters:
Every tested database system must be capable of performing this simple tests - insert the generated records and read them twice,
ordered by their keys.
We chose this test scenario because it is a widespread task in many real-time systems – telecoms, stock exchanges, SCADA/HMI, large observation and modeling systems etc.
To perform the tests each database can use all of its capabilities – local settings, caches, special optimizations and etc.
Currently we have implemented over 25 databases – SQL, NoSQL, embedded and server solutions. Note that we have no intent to collate SQL vs. NoSQL databases, we just want to show how each of them can be used to solve the defined task.
We do not pretend that the currently provided implementations are the best possible. If you can propose better ones or if you want to add another database, contribute to our project in GitHub.

Most retailers are required by tax or accounting rules to provide an accurate on-hand value of the merchandise in their stores by physically counting all inventory. Although the retail store may be using a perpetual inventory system or other software to keep track of all items, it may still be required to physically count all inventory.

Here's how to conduct a physical inventory with as little disruption and as much accuracy as possible. These tips will make the process more simple and precise for entrepreneurs and their staffs.

How to Count Inventory

Replenish shelves with merchandise from the stockroom. Try to clear as much inventory from the back room as possible. Be sure there is no merchandise under cash wraps, in the office or any other location. You don't want any surprise and unaccounted for merchandise popping up later on.

To conduct the physical inventory count as quickly as possible, schedule a time when sales are slow and inventory levels are down. On a related note, complete a full zoning (recovery) or straightening of the store prior to the physical inventory so all products are neat and orderly for easy counting. Accounting for merchandise when inventory is low and the store is orderly is your best chance for having a smooth inventory count.

If an inventory service has been hired to do the physical inventory, follow the guide they provide and prepare the store according to their instructions. On the other hand, if the physical inventory is being conducted by store employees, meet with staff to explain the inventory counting process.

The store manager should spot check several of the count sheets to verify accuracy in counting by employees. Assign each employee a location and provide pre-numbered inventory count sheets detailing the inventory with item name, price and inventory level. Make sure, the inventory team includes several people and that they have pencils with erasers to easily correct mistakes.

If you have any reason to doubt your staff's ability to successfully pull off a physical inventory, you might want to follow your gut and go with an inventory service instead. Better safe than sorry when it comes to such a tedious process.

When Discrepancies Arise

The individuals conducting the inventory should count each item on their sheet and only record the exact quantities. When the physical inventory count is completed, compare the physical count to the perpetual inventory record.

Discrepancies should be further investigated and resolved. A recount may be required by a different counting team for any major discrepancy. If you decided to use your own staff rather than an inventory service, a discrepancy in the count may be a red flag that someone dropped the ball. A recount that results in no discrepancies is one option you have to see to it that the error is fixed.

When the Inventory Process Wraps Up

At the end of the inventory process, adjust the perpetual inventory record for each line item to reflect the quantity and value of the physical inventory. Tags showing completed zones should help on this end.

national pastime, the game we know as baseball, has always had one constant.
A pitcher attempts to take a baseball, and by hook or by crook, throw
it by an opposing batter. On the average between 200 and 250 pitches are
thrown during each game. Now that comes out to over a quarter of a million
pitches thrown over the course of a season!! And if you want to be a real
stat head, probably over 50 million balls have been pitched since the
founding of the National League in 1876. If you count the National Association
from 1871-1875....well...that's a lot of horsehide!!
The era before 1920 was known as The Dead Ball Era. It was definitely a time that favored the pitcher. Most games started and finished with the same ball, unless the ball was hit out of the park for a home run. Even foul balls were returned and used! A ball had to be literally in tatters for an ump to heave it out. By the middle innings of a game the ball took on a black look. Covered in tobacco juice and dirt! The ball became soft and out of round. Also it was much easier to "take a pitch" in the ribs when the ball was in that condition. Beanings were not uncommon though, and the tactic of giving a player "a close shave" was as much a part of baseball back in that time as it is today. To make things even tougher for batters, baseballs of that time were wound very loosely by the manufacturers. It was a time of great pitchers, Young, Mathewson, Johnson, Plank, Alexander, Brown, Waddell. The batters were also at a major disadvantage because of the many "illegal" pitches that hurlers were serving up like the spit ball, the emory ball, and the shine ball.
In an interview Frank "Home Run" Baker said: "I believe I hit nine one year, eight another and eleven another year. And they called me Home Run...... Well you know we had a dead ball to hit. We didn't have that live ball like you have today. And we didn't have the white ball to hit either, we had a black ball. First of all, it's a whole lot different hitting that black ball on a dark evening than hitting a white ball. And we had a spit ball to go up against. And the emory ball such as Russell Ford used to use. And another number of pitches that you don't have today."
In April 1917, the U.S. entered World War I. As with all wars, there is always a shortage of materials. When it came to baseball, this was no exception. Since the standard yarn that was used for baseball winding was now being put to use to help the "doughboys keep the world safe for democracy" baseball manufacturers had no choice but to use an inferior, cheaper yarn for the standard National and American League spheres. It was found that the inferior yarn made the baseballs even more loosely wound than before.
make up the difference, the machines that wound the baseballs were set
so that the yarn would be wound tighter. Here's where it starts to get
interesting. The Great War ended on November 11th, 1918, but the flow
of high quality raw materials back into the private sector was a slow
process. High quality yarn was not made available for the 1919 season.
When the baseballs made with the old, high quality yarn were finally manufactured
again, there was a noticeable difference in the feel of the ball. The
baseball winding machines continued to wind the yarn with the new, tighter
settings. Why no one ever decided to go back to the old settings remains
a mystery! But when the new "lively ball" first was shown at
the end of the '19 season many pitchers became very nervous at the thought
of serving up the new product!

Boyfriend Jeans Outfit
Zara dress (worn as a top)
One Teaspoon boyfriend jeans
Zara heels
Zara backpack
Tom Ford sunglasses
Boyfriend jeans! The perfect jeans if you want to look casual but can definitely take it up a notch by wearing heels. I wore this outfit to check out the Nuuanu Pali Lookout. Isn't that view gorgeous? Just beware of the bees. There were a lot buzzing around. But back to the outfit, this pair is from One Teaspoon that I got from the Honolulu Night Market via House of Aria. The wash is perfect. The distressed look is perfect. It was the last pair and I HAD to get it which is unlike me because I tend to gravitate towards dresses. Plus it was 50% off the original price! Score! I'm actually looking for another good pair. I think Zara has a few at the moment. The top that I'm wearing is really a dress from 2009 that I bought on sale. The heels were also discounted from Zara. Not only that, but my sunnies were from the Solstice Sunglass Outlet from Waikele. Talk about discounted outfit! The only thing I bought that wasn't on sale was the leather backpack from Zara.
But anyway, here's my attempt to finding my "middle ground" when it comes to dressing up. I'm that type of lady who is either in a pretty dress or in shorts. There's no in-between. I think it's just the nature of living in Hawaii. As I like to say,"dresses all day, everyday". It's just easier to wear a dress when it's always sunny and hot (and plus it's been humid here lately ugh humidity). I used to have a middle ground when I lived in California but I no longer do. The weather just does not permit me to layer which is a bummer because I love layering. I also have work clothes which is completely uninspiring and then there's the shorts. I have a pair of distressed jean shorts and then running shorts. I could dress it up and wear heels but the only reason why I would be in shorts is because I would be at the beach and when I'm at the beach, I'm wearing flip flops (or as the locals call it here, slippers). So here's to challenging myself to wear something other than a dress. I'm not going to lie, you'll probably see me wearing dresses still.
So where do you get your boyfriend jeans from? And what do you absolutely love to pair with it to make an amazing outfit?

He's going to get some negative PR from this, I hope it doesn't affect his play.
Jonas is from Europe.
He drinks only DRIVE BEER.
I don't think this will hurt him too bad. The righteous sports media (the most insufferable, holier than thou media on the planet) will want their pound of flesh but I think most regular folks don't think it's a big deal and will move on quickly.
"There's always someone available to pick you up from Raps organization". Jonas freaking c'mon
Heir, Prince of Cambridge
JV is Male and 7 feet at 250lbs it would take him 4.5 beers over the course of an hour to get that drunk.
two years ago this isn't even a crime. It has since been moved to .50 which is like 2.5 beers for most people.
You hate to say someone isn't THAT drunk but he wasn't obliterated and driving into poles
Here to help, and also to defend my guy!Conjunctivitis (also called pink eye[1] or madras eye[2] in India) is inflammation of the conjunctiva (the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids).[1] It is commonly due to an infection (usually viral, but sometimes bacterial[3]) or an allergic reaction
in fact if you consume 2 pints 500ml vs 333ml in an hour you can't drive.
I mean, imagine you in their position: if a guy comes through your drive-through completely shit-faced (and I'm not saying JV was), but he was nice to you, you wouldn't call the cops?
My guess is that: strange 7-foot 250 lb. man, with an accent, in a flashy car, had as much to do with this call as any overt signs of drunkenness. Which is not to excuse what he did at all. But this case is obviously much different than being caught doing 140K while weaving in and out of your lane.
Wassaga beach really?

I shudder when I think of the worst things that can happen in situations such as this. It's cliche' I know but all you can do is be happy that nobody got hurt and hope that JV truly learns something from it all. It was a stupid and selfish decision by Jonas but it's not uncommon for 21 year olds to exhibit such behaviour. Maybe the Raptors will learn something too. I don't think it's a great sign that the young, foreign guy is driving around by himself at 2:30 in the morning, crushing beers. I'm not blaming the Raps in any way - JV has to take responsibility for what he did - but maybe they start to check in on their young guys a little more regularly or keep a closer eye on Valanciunas for a while.
Again all speculation, but if I was used to dealing with drunks I'd be pretty tolerant of them. It would take a fair bit to push me to the point to make that call unless the guy was just so messed up you actually felt he was a danger to himself and others, or he was being abusive somehow.

text: Ok, I don't have the Hero in front of me to experiment as I've given it to the missus. Basically she lives in a low reception area right on the edge of where 3G signal drops out and her battery is lasting hours instead of days (when I tested it in a good reception area). I figure the battery is getting eaten up having to keep reconnecting to the mobile network. She uses the Gmail app alot (not the other Mail app where you can specify when to check for mail). She would also no doubt have Facebook, Twitter, Gtalk, Googlemaps' Latitude, MSN Talk all active. I dunno if there's anything else that needs data in the background Anyway, I'm wondering if there is a way to control all of these apps so that they either don't need data as often or super easy ways to turn things off/on. I guess what I mean is that if you have to go and check each of these things manually, it would be a pain in the butt, so she is most likely not gonna want to do that. cheers guys

This week's THV11 This Morning segment focuses on one of my favorite Arkansas producers, Petit Jean Meats. In business since 1922, this family-owned business, produces the finest traditional Arkansas flavor in its ham, bacon, sausage and many other products. As a brand ambassador through PJM's Blue Diamond Club, I am fortunate to be able to feature their products and develop recipes for their blog, PJEats.
Here's a little look into what I'll be showcasing Tuesday:
Just in time for your holiday get-togethers, enjoy these Bacon-Shrimp Sliders from my friend, Stephanie Buckley also known as The Park Wife. Stephanie is also owner of The Women Bloggers, the umbrella business owning Arkansas Women Bloggers and other state affiliates.
Looking for a way to use up some of that leftover ham from your holiday dinners? This ham salad has been a favorite in our household for years. I keep ground ham in the freezer just to use for this purpose. It's great as is in a salad or as a sandwich filling.
Are you a popcorn lover? A snack eater? How about bacon? Try putting those together in this super easy and tasty snack from Texas Women Blogger, Taylor Bradford of Pink Heels Pink Truck (don't you just love that name?).
Here's one that is sure to become a family favorite – Lynsey Lou's Maple Bacon Sticky Buns. Oh my goodness, y'all. These buns are bits of heaven in your mouth! Don't you think these would make a great start to your holiday breakfast or brunch? You've just got to give them a try.
And coming soon to PJEats are these from Dining With Debbie. I can't wait for you to give them a try.

Our recent trip to the Santa Fe Opera with Simply Santa Fe was so inspiring! It reminded us of Marc Chagall's massive mural on the ceiling of the Paris Opera, completed in 1963 amid much controversy. Here's a photo of him working on one of the panels of the 2,400 square foot masterpiece, which took 440 pounds of paint to create.

Alan Chartock | I Publius: Thoughtful neighbor leaves trove of photo memories
GREAT BARRINGTON — Donald Victor is a character. You have to love the man. He was a master sergeant in the Korean War and now, at 82 years of age, he's fighting the good fight, recovering from a stroke at Fairview Commons.
He called our Vox Pop program on WAMC with some regularity. He is thoughtful, considerate and, above all, generous. He has always been a major force in Great Barrington's reconstructionist synagogue, Ahavath Shalom.
He was known for chauffeuring cancer patients around town. One fellow congregant of his synagogue recounted all the times Don had been there for her during her medical emergencies. His giving didn't stop there. He never forgot our birthdays and if we weren't home to answer the phone, he would sing happy birthday into the answering machine.
For most of his friends and neighbors, it was as a photographer that Don Victor was best known. Photography has been his lifelong passion. He was a bit of a physical fitness nut and would run through town and around Lake Mansfield.
If you passed him on his rounds, he'd turn and click his camera and I would always say, "Don, you're not kidding anyone — there's no film in that camera." Of course, it turned out that there was a lot film in his cameras and we all just found out about it. To put it mildly, both Roselle and I are tearing up a bit.
Recently his son, Keith Bailey, who happens to be a saint, traveled to Great Barrington from Columbus, Ohio. Don told him that he was ready to leave his adopted home of Great Barrington and enter into a graduated assisted living program in the Columbus area.
It turns out that Don had hundreds of thousands of pictures in his home. He was not much of a housekeeper — the place was a bit of a disaster — but the important thing is that he had all these photographs. Keith hired some people to box the photos.
The Chartock file had hundreds of pictures. We got here in 1971 and Don arrived a few years later, around 1976. From the time he arrived, he started taking pictures of Roselle and the children and sometimes of me.
When Keith let everyone know that their lives were available in a box, we marched around the corner and picked up the box with our names written on it. The one proviso that Keith had was that each of us with a box with our names on it would hold up one of Don's pictures and let Keith take a picture of each of us.
Don Victor took so many pictures for so many years that when we looked at all of the hundreds of pictures, we saw our history unfold before our eyes. We saw ourselves as thin. We saw ourselves when we had more hair. We saw ourselves in our hippie days. We compared now and then.
A number of years ago, before there was Murray the Westie, there were Glendy and Odyss. Roselle was passionate about the dogs. Don knew it and took hundreds of pictures of them.
When they were gone, Roselle sent out a note that read, "Dear Don, you captured those dear pups in all of their moods: pensive, friendly, watchful and — doing their job — barking at folks walking by, friend or foe; and they were, indeed so beautiful and loyal as your wonderful pictures portray — thank you so much." When we got our box of pictures, that note was in it.
Don recently told both his son and his neighbor that he would go to Columbus to his new home until Keith's kids were out of the house, but that he would be coming back to Great Barrington in six years. You have to love this wonderful and generous man.
Alan Chartock, a Great Barrington resident, is president and CEO of WAMC Northeast Public Radio and a professor emeritus of communications at SUNY-Albany.

Challenge: Design and complete a mobimission. Taken from the BB Seniors Challenge Plus Pro Pack, Challenge 59
Camera phone
Mobimissions is a game in which players use camera mobile phones to create, share and reply to real time missions. Missions and their responses are defined by sequences of digital photographs and text messages.
A complicated Mobimission needs a lot of forward planning. In essence they are a 21st century treasure hunt.
• Define your central mobile phone and number. This will be the narrator for the game, make sure everyone knows this number.
• Decide on a location to play the game, e.g. town centre, park (make sure you can get a constant reception).
• Set the task. The opportunities really are endless. You can set challenges from take a picture that sums up your view on life, to take a picture of a squirrel, to go to a certain grid reference and solve a puzzle.
• On completion, the players need to send their answer or picture back to the narrator, who in turn on the correct completion of the task, sends out the next challenge. It is necessary to have each task or challenge ready to be sent out to the participants.
• After a series of challenges have been set, make each team return to the narrator's central location. The first team there is the winner.
Tips / Advice:
• Try and be as creative as possible, there really are many different things that could be done,
• Set a time period on the challenge, and arrange beforehand a central meeting point.
Safety Issues I Risk Assessment:
• Don't take any unnecessary risks, always work in teams of at least three.
• Make sure the mobile phone is fully recharged.
• Check for reception in the area of the challenge.
• Ensure that everyone is familiar with the central meeting point.

Survival – Rising 4th-7th Grade
Build the perfect campfire, construct survival forts, navigate CNC, and cook scrumptious food over a fire in Camp Kingfisher's Survival Camp. Survival and camping skill sessions will be first FUN and second inspire an appreciation for how our ancestors lived (and relaxed) outdoors.
How big are the groups?
Survival GHO groups are signed up based on a 1:10 counselor to camper ratio and generally have 10 campers and 1 counselor. Survival BDO groups are signed up based on a 1:9 counselor to camper ratio and generally have 18 campers and 2 counselors. In rare cases, we will increase the GHO ratio to a maximum of 1:12 and the BDO ratio to a maximum of 1:10.
What's the average day like?
Camp Kingfisher program hours last from 9am-4pm and our FREE aftercare spans 8-9am in the morning and 4-6:15pm in the afternoon. The camper day is split into 6 periods, including lunch inside Kingfisher Hall, and 2 snack times. Each age group's schedule include 6 periods packed full of time in the outdoors, educational hikes, live animal encounters, swimming, canoeing, science exploration activities, and so much more. Educational content varies based on the session theme.
Highlighted Activity: Primitive Fire Techniques
After water, fire is one of the most essential things for survival. The Native Americans and Early Settlers were adept at starting fires using wood, simple tools, flint, and steel. Each camper will have a chance to start their own fire from scratch; and, we can guarantee the feeling of accomplishment when they succeed!
Highlighted Activity: Outdoor Snacks
There's nothing like great food cooked over a campfire! We'll pull out the Dutch oven, fire up the coals, and prepare some classic campfire delights. Look forward to choices like cobbler and ice cream, chocolate cake in oranges, roasted hot dogs, and banana boats.

I'm a slow writer and I need many drafts to create something that I feel is worthwhile.
This should not come as a surprise to anyone who has been following this blog for some time. I've explicated my writing process on several occasions, and over the years while the materials have changed (I RARELY do literal cut and paste jobs anymore), the methods certainly haven't.
This might come as a surprise to anyone who realizes that I'm a blogger and puts two and two together. Blogging is a sphere which, of necessity, requires you to develop content quickly and efficiently. So how can a blogger be an admittedly "slow writer"?
Now let's start here: I'm not talking George R.R. Martin slow. In fact, I think that guy ought to be ashamed of himself. My beloved did the math at one point and determined that Martin produces something like 250 viable words a day. WHAT? If I wrote that slowly, they would boot me from my program and make me wear a sign of shame around my neck to tell the world that I was an embarrassment to the ivory tower and writers everywhere. When I say "slow", I mean more that I need many many drafts to forge and re-forge a piece of academic writing in order to temper it and make it stronger. I'm up to something ridiculous like fifteen drafts of one piece I'm working on right now (don't worry, I'm about to hit the "send" button on that one, so before you get lecturey about over-drafting just stop and take stock of the fact that I've been working on it for a year and a half now because it's been interspersed with other projects).
Academic writing is completely different from any other style of writing. When I blog, for example, I generally require one hour from inception to publication of a post. This includes
research. When I write creatively, I produce a preliminary draft of content very quickly and go back over it a few times before I feel like others can lay eyes on it (more like three drafts than ten). I can produce 2,500 words of first draft creative fiction in about an hour. More disposable content, like facebook and twitter updates, are just banged out in about point five seconds.
Each of these styles of writing is important to one's development as a writer. I believe that writing is an under-appreciated and under-developed aspect of the academic work. While we're expected to generate writing at pivotal points in our career, there's very little support (unless you create it yourself) for exercising and bettering your writing. So many academics hold their writing process to close to the chest that it's often difficult to trouble-shoot your own process. I have taken to asking mentors and peers, at conferences or other socially appropriate forums, what their writing process is like just to get new ideas about things I could do better. I've learned a few tricks (some of them more palatable than others; there is no way in any universe that I'll be waking up at 6AM to fit in three hours of just writing before I go about the rest of my day but I'm glad that it works for some people), and I've mostly learned this: everyone's process is different. Much like a workout regime, some basic rules apply universally: repetition is a must, sustainability is key, and knowing when to push yourself and/or rest will help you be more productive in the long run. Other than that, just do it. Find whatever works for you, and get going. Do it today, do it tomorrow, do it the day after. Keep writing; the only way to fail here is by inaction.
One of the things I've learned about myself is that once I get to the drafting stage, I can roll home without much problem. Drafting time is my favorite point in the writing process. This is the point where I get to take my colored pens and hone my work until it's shiny and better than it was before. There's something so satisfying about the instant gratification of taking a piece of writing and making it be better. There's also an immediate visual cue that red-penning a page gives you; "LOOK HOW MUCH I CHANGED! THIS IS HOW MUCH BETTER IT IS NOW!" In a field that functions so basically on intangible items, this kind of tangible and visible change is a welcome breathe of fresh air and something that I, kinesthetic learner that I am, desperately need to feel satisfied.
Also, when I draft, I can take my work for walks. It keeps me focused to have a stack of papers in front of me and no internet to distract. I take my draft, go to a local coffee shop, buy a cuppa, and stay until I'm done. This breaks my work up into logical and manageable chunks and keeps me from mid-day burnout. Sometimes even a little sunshine and fresh air (on my way to/from wherever I'm going for the day, for example) can help to give me a little boost when I need it most.
So keep on keeping on, brave writers! Venture boldly forth and practice, practice, practice.

Little Red Riding Hood's Big Bad Wolf was a mere puppy dog compared to the wolves that roam wild in the big city where ex-lovers/still-roommates Ben and Jack make their home in Steve Yockey's Wolves, now getting its Orange County Premiere at Theatre Out, and though assorted Grimms' Contes De Fées may be its inspiration, Yockey's dark, sexy fairy tale for adults is about the farthest thing from grim.
Indeed, though it plays out in a mere hour and change, Wolves provides more laughs, more chills, and yes, more blood, than many a black comedy with a considerably longer running-time.
Since every fairy tale must have its storyteller, Yockey has provided us with Wolves' very own, a smart, sassy unnamed Narrator (Lori Kelley) who interrupts the action whenever the urge strikes to quip or wink or smile knowingly, or to comment on the action like honey spiked with acid.
It's The Narrator who introduces us to our troubled hero Ben (Jeffrey Fargo), a small-town boy who's fled narrow minds and prejudices for an unnamed big city, one where he soon met—and briefly dated—the more urban, more together Jack (Dylan Wallace), no longer his boyfriend but still sharing their fifth-floor walk-up as Ben continues to pine for an ex who's got other pursuits (of the male variety) on his mind.
Whatever Ben's mental state when the small-town newbie and the big-city native were in the honeymoon stage of their short-lived relationship, it would seem to have reached the edge of paranoia since their breakup, so fearful is Ben of anything outside his apartment's protective walls and content to stay hermetically sealed inside, just so long as Jack is in there with him, even if platonically so.
Not surprisingly, this arrangement suits Ben considerably better than it does Jack, who finds himself stuck with a roommate so needy and possessive that it's no wonder the boyfriend-turned-roomie longs for a night on the town.
Try as he might to convince Jack that there are actual wolves prowling just outside their door, Ben's pleas prove unsuccessful and before we know it, Jack has brought home a handsome, scruffy stud he's nicknamed "Wolf" (Kevin Carranza), despite the fact that a bit of pre-hanky-panky conversation reveals the sort-of lupine gent to be more nice-guy loner than wolf—that is until sheep's clothing (i.e. Wolf's lumberjack shirt … and Jack's t-shirt as well) comes off.
Meanwhile in the adjacent bedroom, Ben's efforts at trying to shut out the sounds of foreplay prove ineffectual to say the least.
Only the least observant audience member will have failed to notice the ax propped up conspicuously downstage, part of David C. Carnevale and Joey Baital's snazzy scenic design, one which both divides Ben and Jack's apartment into rooms and separates it from the outside world with the white masking tape specified in Yockey's script for reasons that will eventually become crystal clear.
Carnevale and Baital's design, one of their best ever, features a multi-ingredient sound mix which heighten the chill factor at every twist and turn, dramatic lighting which, not surprisingly, makes apt and ample use of the color red, and character-appropriate outfits including a particularly clever little red riding hoody for Jack to don before heading out on his manhunt.
Still, even a sensational design package and crackerjack writing could well fizzle without a director as imaginative as Theater Out's Tito Ortiz, doing his finest work since his auspicious Corpus Christi directorial debut back in 2011.
Wolves' striking opening and closing sequences at Theatre Out are entirely Ortiz's inspiration, between which the director has additional surprises of his own in store.
Reunited from last year's The Dying Gaul are leads Fargo and Kelley, who (not surprisingly for those who've seen their previous Theatre Out work) deliver the evening's standout performances.
No one plays a loose cannon with more inner (and outer) frenzy than Fargo, whose Ben combines fear and vulnerability with a darkness and intensity that keeps your eyes riveted on our troubled hero throughout.
As for Kelly, the Theatre Out gem is a deliciously, dangerously seductive treat, quipping, flashing a wicked smile, freeze-framing the action whenever it takes her fancy, and whispering into ears secrets that we can only imagine.
Carranza's sexy Wolf may not be as physically menacing as Jack describes him, but his work here is mostly effective nonetheless, especially as the only male character whom Yockey's script allows interaction with our narrator.
Wallace gives Ben an appropriate intensity, but his performance could benefit from the "in the moment" spontaneity that marks Fargo's work throughout.
Wolves is produced by Carnevale and Baital. Alexis Stansfield is stage manager. Jeff Budner is fight choreographer.
With a running time hardly longer than this week's American Horror Story, Wolves has audiences exciting Theatre Out at about 9:05, so make evening plans accordingly.
Short and not-so-sweet, Wolves escorts its audience into a darkly comedic world of thrills, chills, and shirtless man-on-man foreplay. I for one had a bloody good time.
