Reduce alcohol withdrawal symptoms
A hypnosis audio to help your body normalise during alcohol withdrawal
Coming off alcohol is about becoming free, truly free.

Friday night at 7 the Lady Bisons, 4-9, 0-5 in the Atlantic Sun, will face North Florida, 5-8, 4-2 in the conference. The game will also be "Senior Night" with Kate Spellman and Lacey Cross being honored. North Florida is second in the conference behind both Florida Gulf Coast and Jacksonville. Sunday afternoon at noon the Lady Bisons face Jacksonville.
Both games will be played at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex.
"They are two of the top teams in the conference right now," Lady Bisons coach Jon Ireland said. "They are also two of the most powerful offensive teams."
The all-time series between the Lady Bisons and North Florida is 2-2-1. The last time North Florida beat the Lady Bisons was 1-0 Oct. 12, 2006 at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex.
"We have usually played well at night," Ireland said. "We have been very close in some of these games this season. It has just come down to mistakes we have made. We have been very competitive except for our game with Mercer.
"From an attacking standpoint we haven't been able to find a goal. We have made some mistakes defensively and when you can't score a goal the results are not going to go your way."
The Lady Bisons will pay extra attention to a pair of freshmen forwards from North Florida. Lauren Hopfensperger leads the team with seven goals. She is tied for the A-Sun Conference lead overall. Carolina Lencina has scored four goals for North Florida.
"I have heard several people say that Lencina might be the best player in the conference," Ireland said. "We will have a tremendous challenge from a defensive standpoint to try and shut down the forwards."
Ireland praised the work ethics of both Spellman and Cross who have balanced the academic and time demands of pursuing degrees in nursing with soccer practice and games.
"They have both given a ton to our program," Ireland said. "It is pretty amazing that they have been able to play soccer at this level and pursue nursing.
"In your junior and senior years nursing is a full-time job. It has taken tremendous self-discipline and sacrifice from both of them. We hope we can send them off this weekend with good results."

Wage and Hour Division
Release Number: 13-714-ATL (225)
Castillo Real hotel in Florida pays nearly $18,000 in back wages following US Department of Labor investigation
Investigation finds hotel was a joint employer with staffing company
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- The Castillo Real in St. Augustine has paid 13 employees $17,890 in back wages after an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division identified violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Conducted under an ongoing enforcement initiative focused on strengthening labor law compliance in Florida's hotel and motel industry, the investigation found that the hotel utilized Maja LLC, a staffing company, to obtain workers for essential hospitality services, but failed to properly compensate these employees. This was in violation of the FLSA's minimum wage and overtime provisions.
An investigation conducted by the division's Jacksonville District Office found that employees from the staffing company regularly worked more than 40 hours a week—providing services, such as housekeeping, groundskeeping and laundering—but were paid straight time wages for all hours worked, rather than time and one-half their regular rates of pay for overtime hours. Additionally, in some workweeks, employees' wages fell below the required minimum wage.
Investigators analyzed the employment relationship between the hotel and staffing company and learned that the affected workers performed essential hotel hospitality services under the supervision and control of hotel management. Based on this and other relevant factors, the division determined that the hotel is a joint employer of the workers and, consequently, is liable for the FLSA violations.
"Hotels and motels subject to the FLSA cannot use staffing companies to escape their responsibilities to classify and compensate employees properly for all hours worked," said Michael Young, district director of the Wage and Hour Division's Jacksonville District Office. "Through the effort of our ongoing enforcement initiative, the Wage and Hour Division is working to ensure Florida's workers are protected against exploitation, and that law-abiding hotel and motel employers are not placed at a competitive disadvantage for playing by the rules and paying fair wages. Using an intermediary, or third-party labor provider, is not a way to avoid liability for back wages."
The hotel is managed by Impact Properties Inc. and is owned by a joint venture partnership consisting of Impact Properties Inc. and DeBartolo Development LLC. The Castillo Real is a member of the Ascend Hotel Collection membership program, which is part of Choice Hotels International Inc. Member hotels of the Ascend Hotel Collection include hotels such as the Inn of Chicago in Chicago, The Admiral Fell Inn in Baltimore and The GEM Hotels in New York City.
Following the investigation, the Castillo Real agreed to comply with the FLSA in the future and has paid the back wages in full.
The hotel and motel industry is characterized by a wide variety of employment arrangements, such as subcontracting, franchising, third-party management and other practices that obscure the worker-employer relationship. The division's Jacksonville District Office is conducting an initiative to strengthen compliance in the industry and is documenting the structure and complexity of employment relationships in the hotel industry to ensure better targeting of enforcement efforts and accountability in all industry sectors.
The division continues to provide compliance assistance to employers and industry associations, including chambers of commerce and the Florida Hospitality Association, regarding all applicable wage and hour regulations, child labor restrictions and joint employer responsibilities. The division is conducting outreach to workers, community organizations, immigrant rights groups, foreign consulates and other stakeholders to inform them of the ongoing initiative and encourage their participation in promoting industrywide compliance.
The FLSA requires that covered employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, as well as time and one-half their regular rates of pay for hours worked over 40 per week. In general, hours worked includes all time an employee must be on duty, or on the employer's premises or at any other prescribed place of work, from the beginning of the first principal work activity to the end of the last principal activity of the workday.
The Wage and Hour Division's Jacksonville District Office can be reached at 904-359-9292. Information on FLSA and other federal labor laws is available by calling the division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243) or visiting http://www.dol.gov/whd.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a set of symptoms caused by a problem with a woman's hormones. It affects the small organs that store a woman's eggs (ovaries). But it can also affect the rest of the body. PCOS is a very common condition in women of childbearing age. In some cases, it can lead to serious health issues if not treated.
Ovulation happens when a mature egg is released from an ovary. This happens so it can be fertilized by a male sperm. If the egg is not fertilized, it is sent out of the body during your period.
In some cases, a woman doesn't make enough of the hormones needed to ovulate. When ovulation doesn't happen, the ovaries can develop many small fluid-filled sacs (cysts). These cysts make hormones called androgens. Androgens are a type of male hormone, but women normally have them in smaller amounts. Women with PCOS often have high levels of androgens. This can cause more problems with a woman's menstrual cycle. And it can cause many of the symptoms of PCOS.
Treatment for PCOS is often done with medicine. This can't cure PCOS, but it helps reduce symptoms and prevent some health problems.
The exact cause of PCOS is not clear. Many women with PCOS have insulin resistance. This means the body can't use insulin well. Insulin levels build up in the body and may cause higher androgen levels. Obesity can also increase insulin levels and make PCOS symptoms worse.
PCOS may also run in families. It's common for sisters or a mother and daughter to have PCOS.
The symptoms of PCOS may include:
Your healthcare provider will ask about your medical history and your symptoms. You will also have a physical exam. This will likely include a pelvic exam. This exam checks the health of your reproductive organs, both inside and outside your body.
Some of the symptoms of PCOS are like those caused by other health problems. Because of this, you may also have tests such as:
Treatment for PCOS depends on a number of factors. These may include your age, how severe your symptoms are, and your overall health. The type of treatment may also depend on whether you want to become pregnant in the future.
If you do plan to become pregnant, your treatment may include:
If you do not plan to become pregnant, your treatment may include:

text: Ohio's Case Western Reserve University Chooses Lifesize® to Build Global Research Gateway in California HD video communications allows engineering research teams at Ohio's top-ranked university to collaborate with clients across continents Austin, Texas — Jan 26, 2009 High definition video communications from Lifesize is helping Case Western Reserve University become a global engineering resource for clients around the world. Using Lifesize HD video conferencing systems, Case links faculty at the university's Science and Technology Application Center (STAC) located in San Diego, Calif., with researchers and students in Case's department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in Ohio, enabling the university to bring Case's world-class talent base and Northeast Ohio's lower-cost structure to the Pacific Rim and Asia for applied technology research. In 2007, Mehran Mehregany, Goodrich Professor of Engineering Innovation, was asked by the university to establish a presence for Case in Southern California to connect to global research clients. Striving to maintain relationships with the large group of graduate and Ph.D. students he leads, communicating without video conferencing systems was challenging. "Communicating with my students over video has entirely changed the quality of our interactions," Mehregany said. "This technology is a significant enabler for the work we are doing." "For the first six months, we didn't have Lifesize," Mehregany said. "Email and conference calls were our only modes of communication, which was not effective at all. There is just something about the human psychology of seeing one another and our interactions were missing that." Mehregany has a Lifesize system set up in his office at Case and an identical system at his home office in San Diego. So when students want to meet with him, they just drop by his office for a chat. Mehregany and his team also use the built-in H.239 data-sharing capability and a document camera, allowing them to collaborate in real-time, sharing computer data or studying tiny electric motor drives. "When I do come to Case, my students don't feel like I have been away, said Professor Meregany. "One colleague told me that when people ask, 'where's Mehran?' they say, 'he's on TV.'" "Case Western Reserve University is a world leader in the innovative use of HD video, and Lifesize is proud to count them among our earliest customers," said Craig Malloy, CEO, Lifesize Communications. "Lifesize technology is helping bring valuable research projects to Case in Ohio from all over the world, giving global companies access to an incredible pool of talent." Case: The Connected Campus Ranked by U.S. News and World Report as Ohio's #1 undergraduate university, Case Western Reserve University has long been a pioneer in advanced communication technology. In 2005, surgeons at University Hospital in Cleveland performed the world's first live telesurgery in high definition. On campus, the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, the Campus Career Center and the Housing and Greek Life Departments all use video on a regular basis. Through their partnership with University Hospitals of Cleveland, Lifesize video conferencing equipment allows surgeons at the hospital to broadcast surgery instruction back to the Case Medical School student classrooms. At the Case Career Center, students can have their first interviews with potential employers over Lifesize video. In both the Housing Department and Greek Life Department, north and south campus residents used to drive or ride the bus to fraternity and sorority meetings and study groups. Now, they have Lifesize units in the student unions at both locations, eliminating travel and increasing focus. In the School of Nursing's graduate-level informatics courses, a combination of healthcare management and information systems, many of the students are currently working as nurses in regional hospitals. Now, they can attend class via Lifesize in this distance learning application. To read more about how Case Western Reserve University is putting Lifesize video conference & telepresence solutions to work, read the case study. About Case Western Reserve University Case Western Reserve University is located in Cleveland's University Circle, the 500-acre, park-like home of more than 40 cultural, medical, educational, religious, and social service institutions.

Entry The First (And only)
Well, All, Sabe has returned! ...Again. I think my last set of posts took place back in 2013 or so, and there has been a LOT that has changed; it amazes me that it has, though, since I always thought of my life as so unchanging. Back in '13 I was working at the Arena doing Security work...it wasn't exactly what you'd call fulfilling, but it paid the bills and kept me busy. Well, it was just a year after that, when things changed, and they changed fast. To make a lot of superfluous details and exposition short, I fell in love. She was a part of the EVS (a glorified acronym for Janitorial Staff) Department and was just a face in the crowd; then we began to talk when we both had time. After that, it was pretty fast...we'd make excuses to run into each other during working hours; then there was the exchange of phone numbers; after that, it was a whirlwind courtship. We did a few things out of order, though.
After things began to really heat up, we both left the Arena for differing reasons, on paper at least (more pay and less politics was the main idea for both of us, really), and started other employment for almost another year. I went to FedEx, she to an insurance company, where we could both earn what we were going to need for the coming future...she was pregnant! On August 10, 2015 our daughter was born; a bit preemie, and stubborn about eating, but whole and healthy otherwise. "Peanut" has been a challenge now and again (good Lord is there a lot of me in her!), but it has been worth it...I couldn't imagine life without her!
We apartment bounced twice in the months and years following "Peanut"'s arrival, until we found one that would fit all of us when The Boss had all her kiddo's around. I can sense the confusion...didn't I mention? The Boss had prior kids before we got together...3 other girls, as a matter of fact! We get along like a house afire, though...love them just as much as I do "Peanut". Well, the second apartment worked for almost two years, during which time (June 24, 2017) the boss and I got married! Things improved again! Then, about 6 months after that, I got into a spat with the landlord, and we had to figure out a new living arrangement rather quickly...Me and my damn temper; even though I followed the laws for the City and State, it was deemed I didn't have enough evidence to charge my landlord with negligent maintenance. Thanks to my time in the service, though, I had access to my VA stuff, and less than three months later and 150 miles or so west, I became a homeowner! A small town of 2,000 or so, a good vibe and lots of space for things to keep improving! The house is a two story with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a spare room that I turned into a mini man-cave and sits on 3 city lots: total space (Land and house) is .44 acres! The house will need some TLC over the years, but I can say we are more than happy. Soon, the wife wants to open an in-home Daycare, and I would like to start woodworking again, in addition to my off and on writing.
I hope any Clan who takes the time to read this has had good luck, joy and many blessings in their own lives since my hiatus, and that they all keep coming for you! In the words of Tigger: TTFN! Ta, Ta For Now!

The letter to the news lady
Sent this to the anchor woman ...
I'm writing to address the comments you made on air while discussing the 15 and 16 year old boys who videotaped their female classmates changing their clothes. You said something along the lines of they're curious and wanted a peek. Please research about what age sexual curiosity begins because it is not 15. Please research at what age boys begin looking at pornography because again, it is not 15. It is important for you to know as a citizen, as a reporter and as a mother. We need to deal in truths so we can deal with the problem in the most effective ways. Maybe you should do a story about teens and porn? It is on parents to let their children know that porn is every bit fantasy as The Hobbit. It is everywhere and children are exposed to it younger and younger. It can have negative consequences on a developing mind to dehumanize and devalue an entire gender. It's how we end up with videos like Stubenville.
You also speculated that maybe they didn't know they were committing a crime. Maybe they didn't, but I highly doubt it. With all the press about assaults being filmed lately if they didn't know they at least suspected. It's always a bad move to excuse the the perp for one reason or another even more so when it comes it comes to cases like this. When we excuse we are perpetuating rape culture and that is not okay. It is not good for our children.
You are in such a great position to be a voice for survivors and families. Parents need to look at the complexities of the social world our children are growing up in. They need to know how to handle it. They need information and who better to give that to them then you? Drugged, raped and left in the front yard needs to stop. We need to come together to make that happen.
Thank you for your time

It's all cake
Think of religions like cake.
On the outside it looks so appealing that you just have to have a piece. The frosting and piping and elaborate decorations are the things that particular religion shows off to the world. Beautiful architecture, holidays, ceremonies and messages of love and peace.
Some people window shop before they pick a cake, but most eat their parent's cake during childhood and get used to eating that particular cake and are satisfied with it.
You didn't bake the cake so you aren't going to know what ingredients went into the cake unless you look at the recipe. Some people need to know what they're eating because some things are toxic to them, some people want to know what they're eating so they can choose what goes in their body, some people don't care what the cake is made of.
The recipe for your religion cake is the religions holy text and history. Some people look at the recipe and reject the cake, some people decide to only lick the frosting, and some people shovel the cake in their face anyway.
The health nut who looks at the recipes and concludes All cake is full of seriously bad shit! is the anti-theist. The frosting lickers are your moderates. They want the pretty and the sweet, they deliberately fill up on frosting before they get to the cake so they eat less of it. They don't like all the ingredients so they're selective about the bites they take. The one shoveling it in like Goku at a buffet is your fundamentalist. They know their cake has some hard core shit in it, but its the best and everyone should eat it!
The problem with cake is it has the potential to make you sick. Someone with a peanut/genocide allergy isn't going to dive into that cake. Over eating or excessive amounts of cake over time can have negative health consequences. It could lead to diabetes/ a defective set of morals.

Doritos Locos Tacos Chips
With the highly successful Doritos Locos Tacos giving Taco Bell a huge boost in sales, Doritos decided to try and cash in on more of that revenue and hype with Locos Tacos flavored chips. I say "try" because thats exactly what these chips are good for. Trying once and never buying again. They come in two flavors, Nacho Cheese and Cool Ranch just like the Locos Tacos. In each bag there are two flavors. The flavored chip and the crunchy taco chip. Doritos has made other products two flavors in a bag on numerous other occasions and they never seem to work right at all.
You might wonder what flavor of chips are in this next picture, but it doesn't really matter because both bags when poured into bowls look and taste exactly the same. The Cool Ranch and Nacho Cheese bags basically contain the exact same product as I tasted no difference between them. If I had known they would be identical in flavor I would have only bought one bag.
These chips taste interesting at first but like all snack foods with multiple flavor coated items in them, there was no distinguishing if you were eating a nacho cheese, cool ranch or taco chip. All the flavoring basically mixes together in the bag and the result is a taco flavored chip that noticeably tastes more like broken taco shell pieces with Dorito flavoring than a taco flavored chip. They're not that bad, but not amazing like the Doritos Locos Tacos they are named after.
I had so many of these chips because I had two open bags that I lost interest in the flavor and decided to use them in soft tacos to try and get some Locos flavor in a home made meal. This is when I realized these chips tasted much better with actual tacos. If anything, these chips would be a good companion chip for a taco dip. But as a stand alone snack they don't seem to hold their own.
Should you eat these?
Sure. Try them once to see how they taste, but don't worry about which flavor you buy because they all taste the same. If anything, I recommend buying one bag of the original regular Taco flavored chips and one bag of Cool Ranch or Nacho Cheese. Then eat two chips at once, Taco and the flavored one. That would taste far superior than the flavor of these Locos Tacos chips.
What Doritos and Taco Bell should do is sell the actual Doritos Locos Taco shells in the supermarkets. Forget these chips, instead sell those shells. Whenever I'm at the store, I always pass on buying Taco Bell shells in favor of the superior Old El Paso brand. But if Taco Bell wants to make more money, they should work with Doritos and bring these shells to the stores. I'd buy them in a heartbeat for my own home made tacos.

My New Recipe Blog!
Welcome to my new Recipe Blog. I will use this blog to post all my new recipes. All of my old recipes can be found in my original blog by following this link:
Instead of posting any more recipes in my original blog, I have created this one so I can create more specific categories for the recipes themselves. Pork, Chicken, Beef, Italian, Mexican, BBQ, Grilled, etc. As well as using tags, I will have many specific categories just for my blog and some recipes will fall into multiple categories. Tags are useful as well, and will allow us to view everyone's recipes across all blogs on this site.
I recommend that anyone that wishes to make their own recipe blog to please type the tag "Recipe" without the quotes, in the tag field of blog entries so they can show up in the combined blog Recipe tag link.

Authentic Mexican Queso Cheese DIp
Ever go to your local Mexican restaurant and order that small bowl of liquid white cheese... ah Queso dip... pretty good stuff even if it is a $2 rip off... Ever wish you could have some at home to go with your tortilla chips? Ever waste you money on all those so called "queso dips" by tostitos or some Mexican sounding brand in your local grocer's deli? I've spend years melting cheeses, trying dips, and NOTHING could even come close to replicating what you can find at the restaurant. It was like some well kept golden secret that even big time chip manufactures were still trying to figure out with their sub-par imitations.
Well I have figured it out... scoring the internet, I came across a little recipe, it didn't look right, and I felt it was too simple to be it. I had tried everything else, so I was down to my last options on experimentation... but the end result was the holy grail. This my friends, is how you make 100% authentic restaurant queso dip.
Its 3 simple ingredients (with an optional 4th), No matter how much of it you make, you must always use exact the same amount of all 3. So the easiest way to do this is to make a 24oz bowl, because two of the 3 ingredients are commonly sold in 8oz containers.
Ingredient 1: Velveeta Queso Blanco
Ingredient 2: 8oz Sour Cream
Ingredient 3: 8oz of Cream Cheese
Step 1 - Take your block of Velveeta, and cut it at the 8oz line marked on its foil wrapper, then drop it in the bowl along with the entire contents of your sour cream and cream cheese tubs.
Step 2 - Put bowl in the microwave and heat on high for 2 minutes, take out and stir, then place back in microwave and heat for 2 more minutes.
Step 3 - Stir mixture until it looks like its all the same consistency, microwave 30-40 more seconds if there are still chunks or solids and repeat the process.
Now you have yourself some Mexican cheese dip... don't believe me? Try it out and see for yourself...
Too boring? Add a can of rotel tomatoes for some kick.
Some recipes tell you to add chicken broth, flour, or pepper jack cheese... that's all crap... It may be good, but if you're looking to make exactly what you get at the restaurant, follow my directions and spread the joy.
This recipe can also be used with some shell pasta, add some ground beef, or even taco seasoned ground beef, and you have yourself one hell of a meal.

Chicken Adobo
Ok, so this is a modified version of one offered by Cooks Illustrated. We found that if you make it as they list it, there's not enough sauce! But we made some adjustments with the quantites, and this works out well. Very tasty and tangy, without being really tart.
4 (5- to 7- ounce) bone-in chicken thighs, trimmed
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 (13 1/2-ounce) can light coconut milk
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
8 garlic cloves, peeled
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoons pepper
1 scallion, sliced thin (optional garnish)
1. Toss chicken with soy sauce in large bowl. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
2. Remove chicken from soy sauce, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Transfer chicken, skin side down, to 12-inch nonstick skillet; set aside soy sauce.
3. Place skillet over medium-high heat and cook until chicken skin is browned, 7 to 10 minutes. While chicken is browning, whisk coconut milk, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, and pepper into soy sauce.
4. Transfer chicken to plate and discard fat in skillet. Return chicken to skillet skin side down, add coconut milk mixture, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Flip chicken skin side up and continue to cook, uncovered, until chicken registers 175 degrees, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter and tent loosely with aluminum foil.
5. Remove bay leaves and skim any fat off surface of sauce. Return skillet to medium-high heat and cook until sauce is thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour sauce over chicken, sprinkle with scallion, and serve over rice.

Take 1 big tomato (or 2 mid-size tomatoes), blanch them and put them on the side. Add a spoonful of oil in a pot or cooker (depending on what you have). Chop 1/2 an onion fine and add it to the oil till they turn a little pink. When they do, add 1/2 teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste and mix this well. Now add the blanches tomatoes to your cooker/ pot. Add salt to taste, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of chilli powder, and 1 cup of water. Cook this for 5-8 minutes if you're using a cooker or for 15 minutes if you're using a pot. It's essentially cooked at that point but it needs to be blended to get that consistency as you see in the picture. You can use a blender or a wire mesh to do this. Ideally the gravy is supposed to be sweet, so depending on how sweet your tomatoes are, you can add 1 spoonful of sugar while you blend it.
For the potatoes - boil water in a vessel and peel 3-4 big potatoes while this boils. Cut the potatoes into cubes of you preferred size. Boil these potatoes and add salt. Remove and drain after they are boiled. Take a vessel and add 1 tablespoon of oil, 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds(black balls as I call em), 1 small green chilli (chopped in 2 pieces or more depending on your preference). Be careful when you add this to the oil as it may all sputter, but it's supposed to sputter, so it's all good. Lower the flame and add the potatoes at this point. Sprinkle 1/2 a teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of chilly powder and mix this up well. Cut the gas when you feel the potatoes are cooked. You don't want to over-cook this as it will get dryer as you cook it more, so it depends on the consistency you like.
For the potatoes there are a lot of variations ... like ... variation 1 - once the potatoes are boiled, add just the turmeric powder in the vessel with oil before adding the potatoes; variation 2 - once the potatoes are boiled, add the turmeric, chilli, cumin seeds and coriander powder to the oil before adding the potatoes; variation 3 - once the potatoes are boiled, add 1 table spoon of garam masala mix before adding the potatoes; etc.

Nani nani?
:hi:Neya, blog entries, what to do, what to do? Hee hee, well, can't think of anything un. . .
Most of any blogs I have anywhere end up as rants. So, I was in the Navy for a whole of 23 days, a college student for three weeks, and now . . . Now I am just a writer, fan fics, poems, stories and an anime fan, which is just kind of obvious. ^^;;
Generally, that's just about it for me. Ah, the anime/manga near obsession. Guess I could list what anime I know er follow as of lately. FMA, Naruto, (followed Bleach but haven't read that since the flash backs) Tsubasa, Loveless, Gravitation, Code Gaess, Death Note, Gundam Seed, Full Metal Panic, Black Lagoon (Just started that one, I have watched only five episodes as of right now) Trinity Blood, Inuyasha (though the manga is much better) Ah, the older anime's I followed; Dragon Ball Z, Gundam Wing, Yu Yu Hakusho, Samurai X (Haroni Kenshin SP?) Reboot (can't believe I remembered the name of that one) was a Sailor Moon fan too. ^^ What? I'm a chick. Card Captors, Pokemon, but Digimon was better and I only watched the first two seasons. That's about all I remember for anime.

Thoughts at 115hrs w/o sleep...
Here we go again...I really need to get around here more, there are peopleI really should re-establish contact with, since I do consider them friends, and not just aquaintences. I suppose having more time to do so would help, but considering how little time I have between work, Guards and that type of thing, it makes it annoyingly difficult. To those of the friends brigade(and you should know who you are, if you just don't realize it, THAT WILL BE SOON FIXED) I'll be PM you all when I have more that 15 minutes to myself with points of contact if you wish to use them.
Until then, Carpe Diem or Odurent Dom Metuant, whichever applies to ya!

text: The Chicago Fire of 1871, also called the Great Chicago Fire, burned from October 8 to October 10, 1871, and destroyed thousands of buildings, killed an estimated 300 people and caused an estimated $200 million in damages. Legend has it that a cow kicked over a lantern in a barn and started the fire, but other theories hold that humans or even a meteor might have been responsible for the event that left an area of about four miles long and almost a mile wide of the Windy City, including its business district, in ruins. Following the blaze, reconstruction efforts began quickly and spurred great economic development and population growth.

No wonder we weren't able to reproduce - this bug (seemingly) only occurs with particular compile options. We think we've fixed that for now, and the release should work for Windows users without having made any changes to the code. Hopefully it now deserves the name Stable.
If you download a version of the game after this is posted and you STILL get the bug, make sure to let us now on the Bug Report sub-forum, and make sure to specify this is a post-hotfix stable bug report.

Monday, December 31
the next sunrise
There is always a temptation to press the reset, when the calendar changes to 01-01 but i have this other belief that everyday that the sunrises is the possibility of a new beginning. I did that many times this year and there has never been a year that i learned so much about myself, human nature, the failure of the gut, the re emerging of a gut, the heartbreak of loss and the joys of new discoveries. I am richer today, my soul uncluttered by things that weighed so much and had no value. I worked hard to stud my next twelve months with things i can count on, with substance and value but it those things i can not see that keeps me moving forward, it is believing that all is possible.
This last day of december was the most poignant, it brought me to the door of one of the biggest possible human experiences and in a short few days, i will leap and if i fail i will wait for the sun to rise again, tomorrow.

It sounds like you've worked hard at finding a peace within yourself and life. I worked hard at that too but still have such a long way to go...I'm looking forward to the sun rising tomorrow and continuing that search.
I can't wait to hear what the last day of december held for you. Leap high and far...there will always be another tomorrow.
All the best to you ... every day.

Featured Ingredient: Wehani Rice
A newly published study from Harvard researchers found that of the 197,000 US adults who were followed for up to 22 years those who ate two or more servings of brown rice a week reduce their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by 11 percent compared to people who eat it less than once a month. And those who noshed onwhite rice on a regular basis — five or more times a week — are 17 percent more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes than those who eat it less than once a month.
This really is not surprising considering that white rice is stripped of its bran covering which contains valuable items such as vitamins, minerals and fiber known to protect against diabetes and other chronic ailments. Whole grain rice also has a lower glycemic index (a measure of how fast a food raises blood glucose) than its white counterpart, which confers protection from diabetes.
If you're looking for something a little more exciting than traditional brown rice you should try wehani rice. Developed by industrious Lundberg Family Farms in northern California, wehani rice is a russet-colored, slightly chewy whole-grain rice with a wonderful nutty taste. As it cooks the kitchen becomes redolent of buttery popcorn. Like brown rice, it's chockablock with fiber, magnesium, B vitamins and many other nutrients.
You can find wehani rice at most health food stores and some larger supermarkets.
In the June 2010 issue of Bicycling magazine there was a great article about a jack-of-all-trades scientist named Allen Lim who has join Lance Armstrong's Radio Shack team. He is a proponent of gluten-free eating for cyclists as a means to improve digestion and reduce inflammation. Chef Biju Thomas has been hired to feed the team plenty of tasty gluten-free grub during training and the upcoming Tour de France. This is an adaptation of one of the recipes accompanying the article that is meant to be some pre-ride grub. I made up a batch and have had some great rides after wolfing down a few. If you don't have wehani rice, you can simply swap it with traditional brown rice.
Banana and Rice Cakes
½ cup rice
2 eggs
1 ripe banana
½ cup milk
1 Tablespoon flour of choice
1-inch ginger, minced
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a saucepan, combine rice with 1 cup water, bring to a boil and simmer, covered, until all the water is absorbed and rice is tender. Preheat oven too350 degrees. Combine cooked rice and the rest of the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Divide among 8 muffin cups and cook for about 20 minutes or until set.

Victims' parents vow no more Sandy Hooks
Sandy Hook Promise: Families of school shooting victims launch advocacy group to ensure they are part of national anti-violence effort
NEWTOWN -- One by one they stepped up to the microphone. Many clutched the photos of their children, smiling and wide-eyed first-graders until a gunman's rampage made the name of their elementary school a symbol of tragedy and inexplicable violence.
On the one-month anniversary of the shootings, the parents of the Sandy Hook Elementary School victims shed more tears Monday morning, but they also shed their privacy. They joined the public launch of Sandy Hook Promise, a group of Newtown parents who want their voices heard in the national debate about how to prevent any more scenes of mass carnage.
"I don't want there to be someone sharing my experience and consoling someone the next time. I do not want there to be a next time," Nicole Hockley, the mother of Dylan Hockley, a first-grader killed at the school, said at the group's inaugural news conference.
"I pray that no mother, father, parent or caregiver ever has to go through this pain," said Nelba Marquez, whose daughter, Ana Marquez-Greene, also was killed. "On Friday, Dec. 14, I put two children on the bus and only one of them came home."
Sandy Hook Promise now becomes part of a national dialogue that thus far has focused largely on gun-control initiatives but also has touched on school security, mental health and the prevalence of violence in popular culture.
More InformationDevelopments Newtown Police Chief Michael Kehoe said it's time to ban assault weapons. Story on A4. The Stratford Town Council voted unanimously Monday night to name a school after Stratford native Victoria Soto, a teacher slain on Dec. 14. Story on A10 Go to this story online to read Sandy Hook Promise's pledge and to read the Pozner family's proposal to combat gun violence.
"We want Newtown to be remembered for change, not this tragedy," said Tom Bittman, one of the organization's founders. "We will work for real solutions to make communities safer. Doing nothing is no longer an option. We've let this happen too many times."
Organizers said about a dozen victims' family members are active in Sandy Hook Promise, with several more likely to join. Twenty children and six adults were killed by gunman Adam Lanza, who also fatally shot his mother and took his own life.
The victims' parents said Monday they want the debate to be civil, and they and the leaders of the group said they want to avoid partisan politics and single-issue lobbying.
Initially, Sandy Hook Promise is advocating a three-pronged plan for action that encompasses community support, school safety measures and mental health services.
Group co-founder Tim Makris said while the organization has yet to take any official position in the debate, there "will be a moment in time to make those decisions."
Members of the group said they are pragmatists, not ideologues.
"What is it worth doing to keep your children safe?" asked David Wheeler, who lost his son, Benjamin.
Jeremy Richman, father of Avielle, who died in the shooting, said he and his wife have set up a foundation to explore biochemical and behavioral mental health.
"This can happen in any community," he said of the killings.
Sandy Hook Promise leaned heavily for advice on families who have dealt with mass shootings at Virginia Tech University, Columbine High School and Aurora, Colo.
Sandy Phillips, whose daughter, Jessica Ghawi, was killed six months ago in Aurora, attended the news conference.
"We must try to make a change," she said, adding that she continues to struggle daily with her loss. "Every day that I get out of bed and brush my teeth is a victory. You never stop grieving for your child."
Separate from the Sandy Hook Promise announcement, the family of Noah Pozner, another child who died on Dec. 14, unveiled a proposal that called for improvements to school security and criminal law changes that would require the public to report instances in which there is evidence of a probability of gun violence.
"The proposed Sandy Hook School Reporting Law ... will help provide authorities with information that will identify threats before a gunman arrives at a school or another target of a mass shooting," the family's proposal states.
Sandy Hook Promise's launch comes a day after scores of Newtown parents met to discuss the future of the elementary school. Some advocated razing the building, restoring it as a neighborhood school or converting it to a memorial.
Most of those who attended Sunday's forum agreed on one major point: The children and faculty of the kindergarten through fourth-grade school should remain together, not scattered among other district schools.

There's never been a better time
to apply to Otterbein University.
Apply online today!
This major allows you to pursue a
physics major while at Otterbein and complete an engineering degree at a
cooperating institution.
This program gives you the opportunity to study at Otterbein for three
years and then pursue engineering for two more years at either Case
Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio or Washington University
in St. Louis, Missouri (your choice). At the end of five years, you will
earn a B.A. in physics from Otterbein and a B.S. in the selected field
of engineering from the partner school. In order to receive the
Otterbein degree, the student must submit an official transcript from
Case or Washington showing completion of the engineering degree. Hours
will be transferred to the Otterbein transcript record in order to
fulfill total hours needed for the Otterbein degree.
Students in this program are liberally educated engineers, benefiting
from both the focus on the liberal arts and sciences at Otterbein and
the specialized training available at a large university. In many ways
it is the best of both worlds. An advantage of this program over
traditional engineering programs is that you need not commit yourself to
the study of engineering in the freshman year. This flexibility is
especially useful for students whose interests may span several areas;
it allows you to explore multiple options before committing to a
specific course of study.
The program is rigorous, and to complete it in five years, you must
qualify to take Calculus I (MATH 1700) in Fall semester of your
freshman year. Interested students are strongly advised to contact the
department before the start of their freshman year to make sure they are
on track for the program.
Requirements are identical to that of a Physics BA, although students are advised to take introductory Chemistry in addition to their required courses. See the Physics BA for details.

Senator Harry Reid and Dick Durbin play Q&A on the Senate floor. This occurred immediately after Majority Leader Frist cast the blame for the "Do Nothing Congress" on the Democrats (you know, the minority party). Rarely can anything that occurs on the Senate floor be described as "hilarious" but this is one of those cases.
A partial transcript:
Mr. REID. Mr. President, for more than 3 years, this Congress, which has been given the name of the ``do-nothing Congress,'' has turned a blind eye to the intractable war in Iraq, ignoring the administration's many mistakes and allowing it to stay on a failed course.
Here we are, with 6 days left in the 109th Congress, and the Republicans, who control the House and Senate and the White House, have not held one hearing--not one--into the President's wartime failures. During the Civil War, President Lincoln was faced continually with oversight hearings by his Congress. Of course, we know during World War II, there were a number of commissions. The most famous was that conducted by Senator Harry Truman of Missouri, which led to his becoming Vice President. Some say, but for that he would not have been chosen as Vice President. What was the Truman Commission? It was to determine what was going on with World War II. Was money being wasted? Were troop levels right? Korean war hearings were also held, and the same for the Vietnam war. But for this war, none--even though this war has taken longer than it took to settle the differences in the European theater in World War II. Soon it will be the same amount of time that we were able to beat Japan.
This Republican Congress has wasted 20 months on horse slaughtering; the Schiavo case, dealing with someone's personal relationship, which should not even have been before this body; gay marriage; the nuclear option; flag burning; repealing the estate tax. But they could not find a day for some time to look at the President's mistakes, missteps, and misconduct, which have hurt American security and plunged Iraq into a civil war--not a day.
Yesterday's Washington Post newspaper brought the latest indictment of the Bush incompetence in Iraq, in a front-page story entitled ``Ties to GOP Trumped Know-How Among Staff Sent to Rebuild Iraq.'' [. . ]
..... applicants didn't need to be experts in the Middle East or in post-conflict reconstruction. What seemed most important was loyalty to the Bush administration.
Here are some of the questions that were asked of the applicants: ``Did you vote for George W. Bush in 2000?'' They even asked questions about how the applicant felt about Roe v. Wade. People being interviewed for purposes of helping rebuild war-damaged Iraq were asked questions on Roe v. Wade. The questions had nothing to do with one's competence, their educational background, or their experience.
A 24-year-old who had never worked in finance--but had applied for a White House job--was sent to reopen Baghdad's stock exchange. The daughter of a prominent neoconservative commentator and a recent graduate from an evangelical university for home-schooled children were tapped to manage Iraq's $13 billion budget, even though they didn't have a background in accounting.
Mr. President, this picture says it all. Here is Paul Bremmer. [...] on his throne--on his throne. He is on a throne surrounded by Iraqis.
Mr. DURBIN. Will the Senator yield for a question?
Mr. REID. I will be happy to yield for a question.
Mr. DURBIN. Can the Senator refresh my memory? Was Mr. Bremmer the recipient of a gold medal or something from the President? Didn't he receive some high decoration or medal for his performance in Iraq?
Mr. REID. The answer is, yes, he received that. I assume one would expect that from somebody who had a throne while he was over there.
Mr. DURBIN. Isn't it also true that George Tenet, who was responsible for the intelligence that was so bad that led us into the war in Iraq, got a medal from the President the same day?
Mr. REID. That is true.
Mr. DURBIN. Did Michael Brown with FEMA receive a gold medal from the White House before he was dismissed?
Mr. REID. I don't think he did. Even though he was doing a heck of a job, I don't think he obtained a medal from the White House.
Mr. DURBIN. Apparently, these gold medals were being awarded for incompetence. They missed Mr. Brown, but they did give one to Mr. Bremmer.
Mr. DURBIN. Will the Senator yield for another question?
Video here.

That is an awesome exchange. I suppose I wish it could have come in time to do something rather than in time to campaign on it.ReplyDelete
Still, these evil bastards have to be thrown out. Amazing. I know its an old song, but remember Clinton. Remember the hell he got for putting young people in staffing jobs at the white house. Can you fricking imagine if he'd sent an unqualified person overseas? Can you imagine?
I hate the liberal media.

The August round of #meme15 finished up last week with a good number of people participating. The aim of the posts this month was to give people an opportunity to think about their job and consider what it is that they like about it. It's easy at times to complain about the things that go wrong, and it might look greener somewhere else. But usually with a little contemplation, we will find that it is pretty good where we are.
The question for this month's writing assignment was:
What are 5 (or 10) reasons why you like your job?
In total, there seven people that participated in this month's meme. Here we go with all of the posts, in pretty much the order I read them:
- Kevin Conan (blog | @ConanTheCdn) – #Meme15 – Why I love my job
- Matthew Velic (blog | @mvelic) – 5 REASONS I LOVE MY JOB
- Steve Hughes (blog | @DataOnWheels) – #meme15: Reasons I Like My Job
- Jennifer Salvo (blog | @JMSalvo) – Meme15: Top 5 Reasons I Like My Job
- Mike Donnelly (blog | @SQLMD) – Glass Half Full
Mike Walsh (blog | @mike_walsh) – 5 Reasons I Love My Job (#meme15)
Kathi Kellenberger (blog | @auntkathi) – Why Do I Like (LOVE) My Job #MEME15
- Jason Strate (blog | @StrateSQL) – Why I Like My Job – #Meme15
Take some time and read through what the bloggers here have had to say about their jobs and why they like, or love them. There are some common themes on flexibility, variety, and the value of your co-workers. Take some time to think about their posts, and think about what Ferris Bueller once said,
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it."
It may not seem to apply, but it does. Sometimes we can get so caught up in what's going on that we can forget that we've got a pretty good thing going on. We just need to just take notice and enjoy it.
Of course, if I've missed anyone, just leave a comment here and I'll update this post. What do you think of your job? Anything that you didn't see anyone cover that you enjoy at your job?

For the first time in history, the Air National Guard Camp Fund Program has donated money for a unique kind of children's camp. This year, the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station opens its gates for the children of military families to attend Spy Camp.
The weeklong day camp runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. beginning Aug. 12 and ending on Aug. 16. Registration is $25, which includes a camp T-shirt, water bottle, lunch and snacks. Children from 8-12 years old who have parents who are currently or previously associated with any branch of the military, on active duty, a veteran, or part of the Wounded Warriors or Fallen Warriors program are eligible to attend this special camp.
Registration has no deadline, and walk-in registration is welcome for the first day of camp. Pre-registration forms are preferred by Friday, Aug. 9.
Spy Camp features many interactive, educational and interesting activities designed to entertain the campers with all of the tricks that spies use to investigate and catch a criminal. Campers will learn about code breaking, disguises, crime scene clues, DNA and more. Just-for-fun activities will include spy games, special guests, a mascot creation and mystery theater lunch on Friday.
The camp's funds are provided by the ANGCFP with the intent to provide military families with a way to give their children a fun activity for the summer along with other children who know what it's like to be part of a military family. The ANGCFP has provided funds for numerous other summer day camps that have been given excellent reviews by the parents of campers.
To register a child for the camp, or for more information, contact Megan at [email protected] or 315-788-8450, ext. 254.

"That's It!" by Preservation Hall Jazz Band, (Sony/Legacy)
With high-profile collaborations at Bonnaroo (Jack Johnson) and the Grammys (The Black Keys), the Preservation Hall Jazz Band has been reaching out to a wider audience. "That's It!," co-produced by Jim James of the indie rock band My Morning Jacket, continues this trend as the first album of entirely new compositions in PHJB's 50-plus-year history.
Preservation Hall's original mission was to preserve the authentic sounds of New Orleans jazz by presenting musicians with direct links to jazz's founding fathers in the early 20th century. Now under the leadership of tuba player Ben Jaffe, whose parents founded the Hall, the band's current lineup is preserving New Orleans jazz in the 21st century with a fresh-sounding repertoire that keeps the brass-heavy acoustic instrumentation and rhythms from the past.
The title track gets things off to an exuberant start with blaring horn section blasts prefacing Mark Braud's blistering trumpet solo. Some tunes sound as if they were lifted from the band's standard repertoire, including the gospel-inspired "Dear Lord (Give Me the Strength)" and "Come With Me," a love song to the Crescent City sung by the band's oldest member, 81-year-old reedman Charlie Gabriel.
The humorously spooky "Rattlin' Bones," with trombonist Freddie Lonzo's gravelly vocals, evokes Dr. John's R&B style. "August Nights" is a smoky ballad with Clint Maedgen providing sultry vocals and Braud playing muted trumpet. The instrumental "Yellow Moon" draws on Afro-Cuban influences. But most of all, what the band preserves is the infectious joy of New Orleans jazz sure to get listeners tapping their feet, if not dancing.

Hawaiian Airlines Launches Flights to Sendai
Hawaiian Airlines has launched flights between Honolulu and Sendai, its fifth gateway in Japan. Hawaiian operates the Honolulu-Sendai-Sapporo flights using Boeing 767-300ER aircraft that can seat up to 264 passengers.
Hawaiian's Flight HA 441 departs Honolulu International Airport on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 12:55, crosses the international dateline, and arrives at Sendai International Airport at 16:30 the following day.
The return Flight 442 will then continue to Sapporo's New Chitose Airport at 17:45 on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, arriving at New Chitose at 19:00 before departing to Honolulu at 21:10, crossing the international dateline and arriving in Honolulu at 09:50 the same day.
"Our new nonstop service provides travelers throughout the entire region of Sendai with convenient access to our home, the Hawaiian Islands," said Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian's president and CEO. "Hawai'i has deep connections with Japan, and we are very delighted to launch our fifth destination there as we continue to grow our network in Asia."
Sendai is the largest city in the Tohoku region of northern Honshu, which has a population of more than 9 million. Sendai is known in Japan as "Mori no Miyako", or Forest City, for its many green spaces in its city center. It is also known for its high quality rice and for its summer Tanabata Festival, which draws thousands of visitors from across Japan.
Hawaiian's Honolulu-Sendai service is the first scheduled service between Sendai and Hawai'i since another carrier left the market in 2004, and among the first new services to be introduced at Sendai Airport since it was closed for more than a month in 2011 due to damage caused by the Tohoku earthquake and subsequent tsunami.
"Congratulations and aloha to Hawaiian Airlines on the launch of their new Sendai flight," said Mike McCartney, president and CEO of the Hawai'i Tourism Authority. "This flight will provide visitors from Northern Japan with greater access to the Hawaiian Islands and will help us in our efforts to reach two million visitors by 2016, a goal we set with the Japan Association of Travel Agents (JATA). We look forward to sharing our islands' unique culture and aloha spirit with visitors from Sendai."

Revision as of 16:35, March 1, 2008
Advancement in Venturing is not a single, simple path like Boy Scouting advancement program. It contains a main branch of five bronze awards, the Gold Award, and the Silver Award, the highest award in Venturing. The program also offers "Expert-level" awards: the Ranger Award, the Quest Award, and the TRUST Award, all of which are expansions and 'sequels' to a particular bronze award. There is also an advancement path specifically for Sea Scouts which leads to its highest award, the Quartermaster Award.
Venturers may advance along the Boy Scout Eagle trail under certain conditions.
Venturing advancement
Venturers may earn the Bronze, Gold, or Silver awards. Criteria for these awards can be found in the Venturing Silver Award Guidebook. Venturers may earn any or all of the five different Bronze awards; however, only one is required for the Gold Award. The Gold and Silver awards require a crew review process.
Venturers may also earn the Ranger Award, TRUST Award and the Quest Award. These awards requires no crew review.
All work on all Venturing advancement must be completed prior to the young person's 21st birthday.

Basic advancement system
Bronze awards
There are five Bronze Awards. They can be earned in any order or concurrently, like merit badges in the Boy Scouting program. Three bronze (Outdoor, Religious and Community Life, and Sports) are part of an expert-level award, meaning three expert-level awards build from a bronze award. Arts and Hobbies Bronze Award is not part of an expert-level award; Sea Scout Bronze Award may lead to the Quartermaster Award, but the Venturer must be a member of a Sea Scout ship.
Earning one Bronze Award is required in order to earn the Gold Award.
Gold Award
Building upon lessons and skill learned in earning one or more bronze awards, the Gold Award is the construction and completion of personal goals. The gold Award is designed to recognize significant accomplishment in a Venturer's life as he or she has proven outstanding performance in a broad spectrum of activities.
Silver Award
Developing from the precepts of the Gold Award, the Silver Award is the highest advancement award in Venturing. The Silver Award focuses on the three principles of leadership, ethics, and emergency preparedness. Its purpose is to provide a pathway for personal development; encourage Venturers to learn, grow, and serve; and recognize the high level of achievement of Venturers who acquire Venturing skills.
Expert-level awards
Expert-level awards recognize Venturers who have attained in-depth knowledge and experience in the areas of outdoorsmanship, religious and community life, or sports.
Ranger Award
The Venturing Ranger Award builds directly on the Outdoor Bronze Award.
The purpose of the award is to encourage Venturers to achieve a high level of outdoor skills proficiency; recognize achievement of this high level of outdoor skills proficiency; provide a path for outdoor/high-adventure skills training; and establish Rangers as a highly trained leadership resource for crews, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and the community.
TRUST Award
The Venturing TRUST Award builds directly on the Religious and Community Life Bronze Award.
This award focuses chiefly on the principles of religion, community, and tolerance. Its purpose is to provide a pathway for personal development in the forms of service and devotion to God. Once earned, the Venturer will be recognized as not only one who understands others, but who also looks out for them and their needs.
Quest Award
The Venturing Quest Award builds directly on the Sports Bronze Award.
It focuses on the traditions of sportsmanship and lifelong fitness. By teaching about non-traditional sports, this award allows Venturers to learn skills and fitness techniques they might never have a chance to encounter before.
Sea Scouting advancement
Sea Scout advancements are approved by the ship's quarterdeck. In the case of the Quartermaster Award, the application is reviewed by the ship's committee with a member of the district advancement committee as chairman. Since the Quartermaster award is a Venturing recognition, it may be earned by any young man or young woman registered as a Venturer up to his or her 21st birthday.
Source: Advancement Committee Policies and Procedures, #33088B, revised 1999
Boy Scouting Rank Advancement for Venturers
Scouts who earn the First Class rank while a registered member of a Boy Scout troop may elect to continue working toward Eagle as a registered member of the Boy Scout troop or a registered member of a Venturing crew, or while retaining dual membership in a Venturing Crew, or while retaining dual membership registration in both a troop/team and a Venturing crew. Whichever registration status a boy elects, both Scoutmaster and crew Advisor need to confirm which adult leader the boy plans to have oversee his advancement process toward the rank of Eagle. That selected leader needs too be fully cognizant of the 12 steps from Life to Eagle (see description in this manual), the timeline requirements of certain merit badgess required for Eagle (see the current edition of Boy Scout Requirements), and the requirements of the Eagle Scout leadership service project (see reference in this manual).
Position of responsibility requirements may be met by the Venturer serving as president vice president secretary, or treasurer in his crew, or as boatswain, boatswain's mate, yeoman, purser, or storekeeper in his ship.
The Scoutmaster conference will be conducted by the Advisor or Skipper.
As the Venturer meets the requirements for the Star and Life ranks, a board of review is conducted by the crew or ship committee. The Eagle board of review follows the procedure established by the local council.

Steamboat Springs hotel room search reveals 149 grams of methamphetamine
August 1, 2013
Steamboat Springs — Police say they found 149 grams of methamphetamine Wednesday in a Steamboat Springs hotel room where a 40-year-old man was staying.
Cory Alexander Sohonyay was arrested at about 5:30 a.m. Wednesday on an unrelated arrest warrant for failing to appear in court. Once he was taken into custody, officers with the All Crimes Enforcement Team drug task force got a search warrant for a room at the Holiday Inn of Steamboat Springs as well as a motorcycle. A judge has sealed the search warrant, so details about the ACET investigation are not known.
ACET Commander Marvin Cameron wrote in an arrest affidavit that he searched a backpack in Sohonyay's hotel room and found two bags containing 5.2 ounces of a substance that later tested positive as methamphetamine. Investigators think Sohonyay was going to sell the drug.
The search also revealed a prescription bottle with about 50 pain pills.
The Routt County District Attorney's Office has formally filed charges against Sohonyay. He has been charged with possession with intent to manufacture or distribute a controlled substance, a Class 3 felony. He also was charged with possession of a controlled substance, a Class 6 felony related to the oxycodone.
Sohonyay appeared before Routt County Judge James Garrecht on Thursday by video conference.

Routt County Chief Deputy District Attorney Rusty Prindle argued a high bond should be set, partly because of Sohonyay's 17-page criminal history that included a 1997 methamphetamine drug trafficking conviction that led to a prison term.
Prindle also argued Sohonyay was a danger to the community because of the methamphetamine police say they found in his hotel room.
"Mr. Sohonyay was about to introduce that drug into our community," Prindle said.
Sohonyay asked that a reasonable bond be set so he could possibly post it and take care of personal matters before facing the consequences related to the charges.
"I'm not a threat to anyone except myself," Sohonyay said.
Garrecht set his bond at $300,000 and told Sohonyay to get a lawyer.
"The charges you are facing have some significant consequences, so the sooner you can get an attorney, the better off you will be," Garrecht said.
Sohonyay is due back in court at 1 p.m. Wednesday.

Most of us, having been children once, have been bullied at one point or another. Consequently, most of us have strategies for how to deal with bullies, be it ignoring them, reporting them, or (my personal favorite) indulging in a daydream with a plot taken directly from Stephen King's Carrie. These are, more or less, socially acceptable ways to handle the problem, provided I don't actually develop telekinetic powers. (And, when I do, presuming I can work up the motivation to use them for something other than the acquisition of Cheetos. On the whole, being my enemy is a fairly safe proposition.)
None of these, however, are Ralph Bruno's way. No, Ralph opted to dismantle his couch, form it into a dairy product-themed hat, and somehow leverage the combination of the two into a legislative commendation as recently as last Tuesday.
Ralph created, in the truest sense of the word, the Cheesehead. Taunted by Chicago Bears fans – presumably because they have a mascot that can, you know, actually eat things – Ralph returned home and forged the innards of his couch into a de facto standard for a team whose name does not otherwise lend itself to visualization. According to the same article from where the above information was taken, Cheeseheads (I suppose it merits capitalization) are retailed nationwide as well as in thirty different countries – begging, of course, the questions of which countries? And why? Were he not dead, I'd be writing Carl Jung and asking him if a piece of cheese worn on the head is some sort of overlooked universal archetype, perhaps up there with the color green symbolizing spring and the Yugo symbolizing Soviet engineering. While I'm writing to dead people, I'd send a letter to Freud and ask if a cheese-themed cap could be interpreted as a phallic symbol, but I'm afraid I'd get a note back asking about the likelihood of my killing my father and marrying my mother…with telekinetic powers. (There's a horrifying new spin on an old chestnut.)
While we're on the subject, the claim reads that the Cheesehead is, and here I directly quote, "one of the state's most beloved cultural symbols," which is a statement I would like to take issue with. Beloved? By whom? Has it been immortalized in poetry?
I think that I shall never see / a poem so lovely / as that cheese.
Has it been commemorated in song?
Smoke on the water / a Cheesehead on that guy.
No, "beloved" is not the verb I would have gone with. How about "tolerated?" I could get behind "tolerated."
I could also get behind existing in a state where, nine months out of the year, I could wear purple or mention Norse mythology without the risk of being bludgeoned by someone's cheddar-shaped headgear. Though I suppose things aren't any better on the other side of the Mississippi, as I'd probably be required to swear off dairy products and craft beers, as well as having to dress like Hagar the Horrible, all for the purpose of blending in. (Although there are days I've thought carrying a sword might somehow improve my standard of living. I will, however, be the first to admit it would have the opposite effect for anyone seated behind me and talking at the theater.)
But I digress, which means Ralph Bruno is not getting the credit due to him – although what credit that is, exactly, may remain unknown to everyone save Wisconsin's legislature. Are they honoring him for the hat? His anti-bullying measures? His creative use of a couch? All of the above?
Yes, when confronted with a man noteworthy only because, one cool fall day, his response to being bullied was to dismantle a piece of furniture and reshape it into a dairy product, my first thought would not be legislative recognition. But what is done is done. So why stop there? I think we should knight him or, if necessary, export him somewhere he can be knighted. After all, we already know what his coat-of-arms would be.

Polygamous Darger family meeting with Utah lawmakers
And for those who need to get their Sister Wives fixation fixed, here's a link to another SLTrib article that will link you up to an online quiz that matches you to one of Kody's ko-dypendents. Why, I don't know, but I'm sure there are some 5th wife wannabees who are loving this crapola.
Buzzfeed matches readers to 'Sister Wives'
On the Twitter side, looks like Robyn is getting tired of those people asking when she is due. So rather than go the all out exercise in a gym route, she's taking the ...how do you say...the more 'refined' physical activity of yoga to melt that extra poundage lurking around her midsection.
Frankly, a good spanx should suffice, but I guess she can learn to meditate during those evenings Kody is with the other sisterwives instead of taking her frustration out on twitter...
I signed up for my first yoga class today!I am excited to see what it does for me.I am overdue to get my post-baby body back in shape!
— Robyn Sullivan Brown (@LuvgvsUwngs) January 30, 2013
And just to prove a point, here's the tweet where Robyn says she's channeling her grandmother...
@sarah_nisc Actually that is my grandma Reva speaking through me. :) She had a funny way of speaking & when I am tired I use her grammar.
— Robyn Sullivan Brown (@LuvgvsUwngs) January 27, 2013
Oh dear, looks like Kody is feeling a little put out...Papa Joe is taking care of polygamy business in Utah while Kody is left to admire the sunsets of Las Vegas, his Plymouth Rock. Pilgrims aside, Kody has twittered twice that he is in 'exile'. Of course, he fails to explain that his 'exile' was SELF IMPOSED, so I'll do it for him.
Anyway, he's got a beautiful sunset and 4 outrageously expensive McMansions to play house in. What more could he asked for, now that Papa Joe and family are working it hard with the legislators. Guess you should have stayed in Utah after all.
Poor Kody. Three days later and no newspapers have picked up his 'exile' comment. Here's an idea, take yoga lessons with Robyn! She'd like that!
"@matinney: @realkodybrown Don't know how you can stand Vegas after living in Utah -- most beautiful place on earth." Silver lining...exile.
— Kody Brown (@realkodybrown) January 28, 2013
"@lifespeedfitnes: Beautiful sunset twitter.com/Lifespeedfitne…" Thank you God, for exiling me to Las Vegas. Magnificent!
— Kody Brown (@realkodybrown) January 28, 2013

In a new index on financial secrecy, S'pore is only ranked sixth. The Financial Secrecy Index 2011, puts Switzerland on top, followed by the Cayman Islands, Luxembourg, Hong Kong and the USA.
The Tax Justice Network, the group behind the report, says, "[A] secrecy jurisdiction provides facilities that enable people or entities escape or undermine the laws, rules and regulations of other jurisdictions elsewhere, using secrecy as a prime tool."
The government's policy is to encourage the growth of wealth management here so that S'pore can be the Switzerland of the East. Well, the central bank and the Attorney-General's Chambers have a lot of work to do to make S'pore a better secrecy jurisdiction. Hong Kong is a better secrecy juridiction than S'pore. And S'pore and Hong Kong are rivals in the race to be the leading wealth management centre in East Asia.
At least, this report shows S'pore is a better global citizen than Switzerland, Hong Kong and the USA. But where's the money in being a responsible, decent chap?

Remedy Quarterly
You know by now I love mail - especially fun mail. This little beauty arrived today: Remedy Quarterly. I was immediately sucked into the incredible writing, pausing to read one article after another, standing in my doorway. My daughter thought this was pretty fantastic as well, since technically we were inching past nap time.
Even better?
This is mine.
Remember this photo? Yep. Kickapoo Juice, for the Remedy Quarterly article.
Happy Hour recipe for a happy Friday? Ok! Personally I think it helps to know the story behind the recipe but until you can get your hands on a copy I'll give you the Redux version to tide you over.
If you want to make them ahead try this cleaver little trick: Drinks in a Jar!
Kickapoo Juice (or Martini)
1 oz vodka (a shot)
2 oz orange juice
2 oz pineapple juice
1/2 oz pomegranate-cherry juice or cherry juice
1 tsp agave nectar or honey (agave blends a bit better)
For a cocktail/martini style: add a splash of seltzer
For a blended drink or granita: add ice and blend in the blender.
Happy Friday, happy hour and happy weekend! Cheers!

In a better, more just world, you and I are drinking this and watching Audrey run around in the yard. I'll raise a non-kickapoo-glass to that day.

I experienced another first yesterday in my almost 5 years of geocaching. I received the email from Groundspeak listing all the new caches for the past week, and the list was empty.
I am guessing that is not uncommon here, especially during the cold winter months, but it was honestly the first time that I had seen that.
Tomorrow's a high of -19c (without windchill) but I'm going caching with my girlfriend all day. We're going to bundle up Arctic-Explorer style, and see how many caches we can do in one day. I'm assuming that temperatures will hover around -30 and lower (with windchill).
I'm plotting out a course through the city that will take us through the caches that we're interested in.
3 cachers logged finds in Manitoba today. Wagonmaker, Joker Granny et moi.
Hurray for us.
Migo wrote:I'm heading out caching in a couple of hours... I'll make sure to update and let you guys know how it goes. I've mapped out a route starting along McGillivray all the way to St. Anne's near St. Vital... I'll be doing about a dozen (hopefully).
-40 keepin' me in? Yep.
I might hit MB Countrygirl's indoor cache tomorrow afternoon, though :D

Sorry for the lack of posts, but I am more tired that I have ever been before this week…Berroca? Who said Berroca?
Anyway here's a quick post – a purchase from last week, YSL Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick, number 02 – a warm beige nude:
I've reviewed these lipsticks many times before and the packaging is amazing, the texture is gorgeous. I did have a problem with the shades and a lot of the colours didn't work for me.
But this is a nude – you can't go wrong with a nude, surely?
Well…this is prettier swatched than on. Its VERY pale. If you have fairer skin I imagine this is quite a hot nude on you. I think it could look nice on a lot of people. On me and my warm olive tone, it borders on the stripper-wag-ho-bag look.
I must have about 10 of these I can't wear on a daily basis because the shade is a bit off but still I keep buying (Mr Candy bought me one of the new shades from the Spring collection – a pink, which I will swatch later. Now that is gorgeous!).
Like this lipstick? Does it work for you?
