Cricketweb 'A' vs England XI
@ Fardin Qayyumu CC (3 Day Tour Match)
Ball By Ball
The next stop on England's tour of Cricketweb Land was at the home of Colts as the tourists were playing the host nation's so called Second XI. With spots in both teams first test side on Monday up for grabs this was an important match, most interestingly the battle to replace the injured Will Kerr in the Cricketweb XI middle order could be decided in this match.
Andrew Strauss won the toss for the visitors and chose to bat first on an even looking surface, like always at the Fardin Qayyumi CC openers need to work hard for their runs in the first session and this sort of commitment was lacking in the English top order. Strauss himself could have few complaints when he was trapped in front by Red seamer Dave Watt for 8, Watt who has been in and out of the Red side at times this season looked right at home against international class batsman and the way he handled the new ball suggests he wouldn't be out of place in the First XI. Alistair Cook battled hard for 40 while uncapped Michael Carberry wanted to play every shot in the book, this brought to demise as he tried to loft a ball from Bryce Cunningham into the next postcode but unfortunately he missed it by a foot and he lost his off stump. There was little joy for the rest of the middle order as Cricketweb 'A' captain Sean Fuller destroyed them with some quality swing bowling, some say Fuller has been vastly under used by Blue this season and perhaps he was sending a message to his own skipper Travis Demeza with an excellent spell of 5/53 from 11 overs. Despite a late cameo from Stuart Broad England struggled their way to 197 all out as they could barely bat out half of the first day, perhaps it was the minor interruptions they had for rain or maybe it was just the quality of bowling for the home side but this England team looked very underdone during this innings.
Nick Scott and Josh Ritchie came out to bat for the 'A' side knowing they had a fabulous opportunity to post a big score, Scott has been the form opener of the Dev League this season while Ritchie salvaged his spot in this side with a recent ton for Black. Scott was the first to go, as he attempted to duck under a Graham Onions bouncer he left his bat a little high and the ball deflected to Graeme Swann at gully who took the easiest of catches. Ritchie looked in improved form as he hit his was to 45 before being trapped in front by Mark Davies, Sean Fuller was next to go after a 95 run partnership with Robert Cribb, the skipper was on his way for an excellent 88. CW Red batsman John Heads was returning form injury to play this game looked a little out of sorts, the talented middle order grafter could only make 11 as his dreams of a test debut all but vanished as he walked off the field. Two guys who did take their chances though were Robert Cribb and Rob Bowen, Cribb has had a new lease of life since leaving Blue to join Green in the off season and the number 4 batsman celebrated his first 'A' team match with a typically controlled hundred, the 233 ball innings yielded him 117 runs as he played himself into prime position to snatch a spot in the test side. That was until Rob Bowen got going, the Blue vice-captain went into the game intent on playing his natural game, the result was his third hundred of the season all at a strike rate of around 150. Today's effort was a 66 ball hundred and by the time he was dismissed he had made 146 runs from only 100 balls. David Richards showed his worth with the bat by scoring an unbeaten half century as CW'A' batted for the declaration, the call came from captain Sean Fuller with the score at 512/7, Mark Davies was the pick of the bowlers with 4/123.
England had the best part of four sessions to salvage something from this match but things weren't exactly going to plan when Strauss fell to Heath Davis, this time off the very first ball of the innings, the captain looked dejected as he walked off the field knowing the whole tour was in danger of going up in smokes unless his team dug in. His opening partner Alistair Cook didn't last long and his 3 runs barely made a dent in the deficit. Michael Carberry again looked like the most likely of the top 3 but he only scraped together 21 runs, it was failures again for Davies and Paul Collingwood so it was left up to Kevin Pietersen to hold the innings together. Their star batsman knew the score, he had to play within himself to avoid the innings defeat, he did eventually go on to score a hundred and his strike rate at well below 50 showed the effort he was willing to put in for his side even in a tour game, all rounder Stuart Broad also did his part in batting England to a safe position as he scored a patient 97 down the order. The job wasn't done though, the tourists were still 29 runs behind when the last pair of Broad and Graham Onions came together, they did manage to put on 64 runs for the last wicket but it was the time it took up that was key. While Broad was excellent during his innings Onions too can be credited with scoring an unbeaten 33 and lasting out 86 balls. England were all out for 350 with David Richards and Heath Davis taking 3 wickets each.
Cricketweb 'A' were faced with the virtually impossible task of scoring 36 runs from 2 overs to win the game, with pretty much all the England fielders on the fence Nick Scott ame out to open as expected, however he was joined by the unfamiliar Rob Bowen in a sign that the home side were going to have a dig at the runs regardless of how unlikely it was. 10 runs came from Graham Onions opening over meaning 26 was required off the final over, with Bowen on strike and capable of hitting the cricket ball a long way they were still a minor chance, however it was not to be as he went for a wild swipe outside off stump he succeded only in dragging the ball onto his stumps. With the wicket of Bowen the match was called off as CW'A' finished at 10/1 and it was a draw.
England XI 197
AN Cook 40, MA Carberry 36, SE Fuller 5/53, DJ Watt 3/63
Cricketweb 'A' 512/dec/7
RF Bowen 146, RGEWS Cribb 117, SE Fuller 88, M Davies 4/123

Can't complain with that. Gave them about 4 chances to get me before they took it.
WD to Bowen, Cribb and Fuller as well, really good games from them.

Vimes tells it how it is:
Very pleased with my first innings performance!
Shame we could only come away with a draw, bad signs for England IMO..
Also, Fuller was unlucky not to get MoTM IMO.
He came out to bat in difficult circumstances and his 88 was crucial to go with his 7 wickets for the match.

Just realised that there are 20/20s on this tour! Can't wait to see that squad. Would hate to be a selector in the best possible way - so many strong 20/20 options in CWLand.
Jesus brings life eternal
Personally quite satisfied with my showing, a couple of wickets never goes astray. Nothing sensational, but it'll do.
Shame we couldn't of had more time in the game to secure the win. Cribb, Bowen, Fuller - all solid games. Good stuff fellas.
Pretty sure that is not the Fuller that plays for Blue, that guy can't bowl.

Wow, absolutely stoked with my performance. Got to bat with Bowen as well who, lets not forget, I brought to the forum. I'll be taking all the credit when he goes on to become the next Doug Walters at Test level.
Great to see Fuller putting his hand up again too.

Smoking Venison the Right Way
Historically, it was all about food preservation when it came to the art of smoking. Native Americans and early settlers used the process of smoking for their venison, beef and pork, making it an integral part of our cultural past.
In 2017, of course, smoking methods are far more efficient. A smokehouse, although charming, is no longer necessary to get meat smoked to absolute perfection. Vertical box-style smokers include racks for the meat, a smoking box, a heating element and a water bowl that provides moisture for the slow-cooking process, which will most definitely lock in the flavor of both the meat and the marinade you create to make your meat absolutely delicious.
When it comes to choosing the wood or wood chips that will be used in the smoker, it's important to know that dense hardwoods (i.e., oak, mesquite, walnut and hickory) are preferred because of their 'longer life' in the smokebox, as well as for their natural sugar content.
Venison is something that many are turning to these days, seeing as that it is a healthy alternative to beef. Although it, too, is part of the red meat category, venison actually has five times less fat than beef. Because of the slow-cooking method of smoking, the most popular meats up until now to smoke have typically been high in fat content, but when you choose the leaner venison smoking actually becomes both a challenge and a talent if you learn to do it well and follow the right smoking tips.
You have many options when it comes to smoking venison – from the hindquarter roasts to shoulder and neck roasts. When picking the ultimate venison smoke, it is venison sausage that tops the list when it comes to items being prepared in home smokers across North America today. And when it comes to having the right equipment, whether you use a conventional smoker or one of the propane models on the market, just be sure to smoke sausage meats to the temperatures listed in FDA-recommended manuals.
Although a great many hunters overlook the shoulders and neck because they're too much "trouble" to smoke, the reality is they're not. If smoking shoulders or the neck roast, your goal is to have the main bone slide out easily from the meat, leaving you with tender venison that can be shredded for the very popular pulled sandwiches. When it comes to hindquarters, after deboning and separating the muscles, just remove the tougher silver skin and tendons. To accomplish this, put the roasts into the freezer for approximately a half-hour; it is far easier to carve away that tough skin when the meat is partially frozen.
Backstraps and tenderloins work perfectly with your favorite rub or marinade. As before, make sure to remove that silver skin and do not overcook them. Always remember that venison is a lean meat and over-smoking can leave you with nothing more than shoe leather.
Use the simple steps below to make sure that your venison receives the perfect smoke.
1) Make that perfect brine just the way you like it. There are many recipes floating around on the Internet, but basic brine is accomplished by combining:
1 gallon of water
1/2 cup soy sauce
3/4 cup of kosher salt
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup of molasses
2 tbs. of pepper
1 tbs. of rosemary
2) Submerge the meat into the brine until it's completely covered and allow it to stand in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, but no longer than 24. The brining process will increase the flavor and moistness of the meat. It is the added step to venison smoking that makes all the difference in the end.
3) If using wood chips, make sure to soak them in water two hours prior to smoking. To prepare the smoker, fill up the water pan, and the wood chip box with your pre-soaked wood chips.
4) Remove the venison from the brine, rinse it well, dry, and coat the meat with your special blend of spices.
5) Now it's time to smoke. Check the temperature on the smoker, as well as the wood chips and water pan every half-hour or so. (The goal is to keep the temp. between 250 and 300F. If it exceeds 300 degrees, open the vent halfway. If the temp gets too low, add more coals.) Using an electric smoker is far easier because the actual model will do a good job regulating everything.
6) Smoke the meat for approximately 1.5 hours per pound, or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 140F; then remove it from the smoker and allow it to rest for at least 20 minutes before diving in.
After that, enjoy all the flavor of a delicious meat and gain the health benefits that venison 'brings to the table.'

Greetings all,
The name is Mark and I'm a beginner in mentalism. I decided to join this forum because I've been studying for a while now, but could really use some guidance. I had figured I'd leave that judgement to the forum and hopefully get some feedback. I've read on other forums that it's a good idea to find a mentor. Currently, I'm taking my time making my way through steps 1, 4, and 6 of Corinda -- as these are the steps that currently interest me. For a few years I had researched, here and there, a variety of sources of mentalism, but never really sat down and put 'the work' in.
My (mentalism) reading list consists of the following in no particular order:
1) The Amateur Magician's Handbook - as suggested by Bob Cassidy in his Artful Mentalism
2) Strong Magic - I figured this would help with stagecraft
3) Magic and Showmanship ^
4) EB's switchcraft - to complement my learning steps 4 and 6
5) PMM - I'm really starting to gut it for ideas for routines
6) Craig Browning's Intro to Mentalism - I've been reading and rereading this for months now and allow me to say that it has been a terrific guide and has really encouraged me to dig into my mentalism studying and find the gems in what a few consider "outdated." Each day I spend a little time going back over the lessons in this and find myself more confident (in the route I'm taking) than yesterday.
In case anyone was curious about what sources I have available to me, other than the above:
1) Unreal - Bruce Bernstein
2) The Alchemical Tools - Paul Brook
3) The Nailwriter Anthology - Thomas Baxter
4) Maximum Entertainment
5) Scryer's Band of Readers
6) The Manchurian Approach
7) Reality is Plastic
8) 13 Steps - Richard Osterlind
9) Prevaricator - Patrick Redford
10) Vol. 4 ETMMM - Richard Osterlind
11) Palm Reading Secrets - Dean Montalbano
12) Vol 3. Master Billet Course
of the over
Getting back to guidance... I'm having trouble coming up with my persona and pretext, some trouble with some steps in Corinda, where to start with scripting, and a load of questions for "what else might be out there" or "how else could I rework this 'n that" in mentalism. I have a burning passion for psychology, but I feel like the 'psychological manipulator' persona is a tad overused, but then again maybe that's the only thing that "fits" my personality. I don't feel comfortable making claims or even what they would be or what I would talk about. I guess what I need help with most is context. The context of my learning, constructing, and then performing.
I look forward to hearing from you all and contributing. Thanks for taking the time to read this rant.
- Mark

The National Endowment for the Humanities mourns the loss of the writer and activist Earl Shorris, who brought the riches of the humanities to thousands of inner-city poor through his creation of a national tuition-free education program. Mr. Shorris passed away on May 27 at the age of 75.
Shorris is the founder of the Clemente Course in the Humanities, which provides those living in poverty a 10-month college level curriculum in literature, art history, American history and moral philosophy. Shorris created the program in 1995 when he began teaching Plato and Shakespeare to the disadvantaged and drug-addicted in Manhattan after being inspired by a conversation with a maximum security prison inmate who told him that people were poor because they lacked "the moral life of downtown," which she defined as exposure to "plays, museums, concerts, lectures."
Administered by Bard College, the Clemente Course in the Humanities is now taught in 14 states and the District of Columbia, as well as at sites in Canada, Mexico, France, Korea, and Australia. The program provides tuition, books, carfare, and childcare to students over 17 with a household income of less than 150 percent of the poverty level who can read a newspaper and demonstrate intent to finish the course.
In 2000, President Clinton awarded Shorris a National Humanities Medal for his work on the Clemente Course. "The humanities have great appeal to give people a sense of self, to see the world and themselves differently in the Greek sense of reflective thinking, of autonomy," Shorris told Humanities magazine at the time. "People who know the humanities become good citizens, become active, not acted upon."
A native of Chicago, Shorris studied at University of Chicago, which he entered as a scholarship student at age 13. He is the author of several novels and nonfiction books, and was a frequent contributor to Harper's Magazine.

You know what they say about plumbers' and electricians' homes, don't you? It's something along the lines of never being up to code, with numerous jury-rigged and even dangerous "temporary" fixes that the plumber or electrician would never try to foist off on his customers.
In a similar manner, one of my childhood homes ended up with all the marks of being a "carpenter's home." We first lived in the house in Highland, California when I was quite young. It was very small – two small bedrooms, one bath, a small living room, a kitchen-dining room combination, and a miniscule front porch. Its destiny as a carpenter's house was still in the future. Temporary prosperity enabled my family to move to a larger house in San Bernardino while renting this house out for a few years. However, a back injury suffered by my father on the job dealt a blow to that prosperity and we had to move back. It seemed smaller and more crowded than ever.
A disability check opened up the opportunity to expand the house. Among my father's many friends in the construction business he was able to find a few to do the jobs that he could not: plumbing, electricity, and masonry. The result was the addition of a large living room (with a beautiful raised fireplace that I still remember) and enlargement and renovation of the kitchen/dining room and my formerly tiny bedroom.
But this also spelled the end of the house's days as a "finished," albeit small house, at least for as long as we lived in it.
Thanks to the friends, all the major systems were complete and functional, and I have to admit that my father saw to it that all the main structural work and walls were completed.
It was just in the details that things seemed to be … unfinished.
Take the basement. Our new living room covered up access to the basement, so my father eventually dug a hole on the side of the house and knocked out some of the concrete blocks on that side (not too many, so as not to run the risk of water damage). So we could jump down into the hole and crawl up over the blocks to get in. I tried it once. It was kind of creepy. The inaccessibility of the basement meant that we had to find somewhere else to put a lot of our junk – the garage, the shed, the yard (see Junk in Our Yard).
The "hole" was a particularly sore spot with my mother because it was located right next to what basically served as our new "front" door, aka our kitchen door. I know, a kitchen door is not the best choice for a front door. But the old front door was gone, removed when the old living room (at the front of the house) was converted into a third bedroom. The "real" new front door, i.e., the door to the new living room, was farther back away from the street than the kitchen door was and could not be seen from the street (see illustration below), so most people just used the kitchen door.
As much as my mother hated that hole, our German Shepherd Trina loved it. This was not a good thing for the various salesmen, repairmen, and meter readers who came to the house, because Trina was determined to be a guard dog, and she had the bark to back it up. But not quite the requisite amount of bravery. So she did her barking and guarding from the safety of the hole. She was very intimidating looking in that hole. Our mailbox had been moved to the back (aka "front") door, so the mailman learned something that none of these other guys seemed to pick up on: Trina was too afraid to get up out of her hole to pursue any invaders who came to the house.
So perhaps that's why my Dad never did get around to building stairs and a regular entry way into the basement; he must have wanted to make it possible for Trina to keep up the façade of a brave guard dog. I don't know what his excuse was for never finishing my bedroom floor – the older section was wood (and a real termite lure), while the newer section was bare concrete, with the two sections divided by a metal strip that jutted up a bit, enough to threaten any bare foot that might carelessly step on it.
My resolution never to live in a house "under construction" was never carried out. My husband and I had an addition put on our house when our oldest daughter was a baby (she's in college now), and while those new rooms are complete, we are still in the process of eliminating all the remnants of previous remuddlings, and the exposed underlayer marking the "dividing line" between the newer and older parts of the house is still … unfinished.

I'm with your mom on this one. The hole would've had to go, dog or no dog. Oh well, if we finished everything, what would we have to do then, right?ReplyDelete
Yeah, I kind of agreed with her, too. Especially since we needed that space for our junk. Besides, Trina had other places where she could hide and bark.ReplyDelete

Alternative fueled vehicles are gaining renewed interest with the abundance of cheap, domestic natural gas. Compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles took off in the 1990s as infrastructure development surged. Service stations then declined for a decade but are now resurging. Liquefied natural gas and ethanol are other options, as is a new clean fuel called GDiesel, a combination of conventional diesel and natural gas that can be used on conventional diesel engines without modifications.
With so many attractive options and an aging delivery fleet in need of an upgrade, the time seems ripe for the U.S. Postal Service to convert or retrofit its fleet. But a quick overhaul remains problematic given a significant hurdle: the Postal Service lacks capital to make a major investment. Another question is where the Postal Service should place its bets. Should it convert to an electric fleet or go with CNG or are the emerging hybrid technologies the way to go? Should it put all its eggs in one basket or should it convert parts of the fleet to different fuels? How does the Postal Service remain flexible enough to adapt to the best technology knowing that rapid innovation in the alternative fuel sector means the next best thing could be right around the corner?
The Postal Service has set a target of increasing alternative fuel use in postal vehicles by 10 percent annually through 2015. It also has goals for reducing postal-vehicle petroleum use and contract transportation petroleum use by 20 percent annually in that time. In its 2012 Sustainability Report, the Postal Service notes that it continues to take proactive steps to increase the use of alternative fuels. It is testing many types of alternative fuels, including fuel cell vehicle, electric long-life vehicles, and new hybrid technologies. "Providing affordable delivery service requires our use of alternate fuels that are conveniently available and competitively priced," the Postal Service said in the report.
Converting or retrofitting the fleet to an alternative fuel has to make sense financially and logistically based on how the Postal Service operates. Lower fuel costs make the financial benefits of alternative fuels easier to justify. Their environmental benefits are well documented. But logistics remain an issue. If refueling stations are not conveniently or strategically located, the Postal Service has to travel further from its routes. This can affect service and costs.
Share your thoughts on the best strategy for an alternative fuel fleet. Should the Postal Service throw in with one type of fuel or continue experimenting with a number of options? Should it set more aggressive goals for reducing its use of petroleum and increasing its alternative fuel use? Or does its financial situation limit its ability to move aggressively in those areas?

- Padres lost 2 of 3 in Arizona. The Padres ALWAYS lose 2 of 3 in Arizona.
- Padres lost 2 of 3 in Colorado. The Padres faced Ubaldo Jimenez and Jorge De La Rosa in that series, Colorado's two best pitchers.
- Padres lost 2 of 3 to Atlanta. They faced Tommy Henson and Tim Hudson, Atlanta's two best pitchers.
- Of the twelve total runs Atlanta scored on Wednesday and Thursday, 10 of them scored with two outs. That's a problem.
- The Padres scored two of their three runs after two away, so that's something good. However San Diego left 10 on base Wednesday (6 in scoring position), 9 yesterday (5 in scoring position). That's also a problem. The 'clutch hit-itis' extends throughout the lineup, as Blanks, Headley, J. Hairston, T Gwynn, and Eckstein have all left a guy or guys in scoring position.
- Additionally, the Padres have loaded the bases three times in the last 2 games, twice Thursday alone. They did not score a run in any of those situations.
I would consider these areas items to address by the coaching staff, as opposed to discovered weaknesses in the team.
The Padres face Arizona this weekend, and will throw Garland/Correia/ plus one against the back of the Diamondback rotation. This weekend the team should win 2 of 3. If they don't, well, then we can raise the concern level from 'its early' to 'anxious'.

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) -- A plan to seize up to 10 percent of people's savings in the small Mediterranean island nation of Cyprus sent shockwaves across Europe on Monday as households realized the money they have in the bank may not be safe.
A weekend agreement between Cyprus and its European partners called for the government to raid bank accounts as part of a €15.8 billion ($20.4 billion) financial bailout, the first time in the eurozone's crisis that the prospect of seizing individuals' savings has been raised.
Facing outrage, Cyprus' government delayed a parliamentary vote on the seizure and ordered banks to remain shut until Thursday while it tries to modify the deal to reduce the hit on people with small deposits.
Several hundred people gathered outside the vacant parliament building, with some chanting "thieves, thieves."
"We're very angry, betrayed, hurt and extremely disappointed," said protester Andriana Constantinou.
In order to get €10 billion ($13 billion) in bailout loans from international creditors, Cyprus agreed to take a percentage of all deposits -- including ordinary citizens' savings. The surprise deal stoked fears that deposits in other countries could be targeted.
"The damage is done," said Louise Cooper of CooperCity, a financial research firm. "Europeans now know that their savings could be used to bail out banks."
The euro and stocks around the world took a hit even though the Cypriot economy accounts for only 0.2 percent of the combined output of the 17 European Union countries that use the currency.
The Cypriot government is now trying to modify the terms of the original plan and in particular to get a better deal for small savers with less than €100,000. The weekend deal foresaw a one-off charge of 6.75 percent on those savings, rising to 9.9 percent for those above the €100,000 mark.
While trying to make the package more appetizing for those with low savings, the government has to make sure that the total raised remains the same at €5.8 billion.
One solution doing the rounds is to make the tax more graduated: placing a one-time 3 percent levy on deposits below €100,000, rising to 15 percent for those above €500,000.
Still, the government has a battle to get a majority in the 56-member Parliament after some 25 lawmakers from communist AKEL, socialist EDEK and the Green party said they would vote down the levy that they have criticized as disastrous.
The stakes are high for the country of a million people, because a rejection of the package could see the country go bankrupt and possibly out of the common euro currency. Officials also fear a run on Cypriot banks no matter which way the voting goes.

I thought it was worth a mention on the service and Hispec 4 pot brake kit from PNM.
Having renewed the front brakes 2 years ago with new recon parts I have never been satisfied with the standard front brakes. I already have the PNM rear kit.
Having spent a fruitless weekend greasing the sliders and checking everything over the car would still pull to the right under heavy braking. I gave up and called PNM.
Happily they had a yellow kit in stock with slotted discs and standard pads. I live quite close by so collected the kit this week and fitted it today.
It all went together perfectly. The SS braided hoses I already had on the car fitted the new kit with no problems using the supplied new Banjo bolts and washers. Various spacer washers were supplied to align the caliper with the disc. 3mm in my case. The wheels went back on with good clearance.
After a bleed of the brakes the test drive was a revelation! Modern standards of braking from a M100!
My confidence is restored in the car and I look forward to some good drives in the sunshine!
An all in cost inc the kit, pads, fluid of £700 inc VAT isn't exactly cheap and probably 10% of the value of the car but it's still something I wish I had done 2 years ago!
I can highly recommend the kit and PNM.

Apparently, since I dropped off the face of the blogging world during the latter half of fall quarter, I feel I should give an update. I tend to ramble in my blogs, so I am going to try and keep it quick and simple (we'll see how that goes).
So first, I feel like I need to explain my absence of postings. I feel actually bad. But I am attributing this to two things. One, my job has gotten more intense, so the adjustment of working and going to school was taking it's toll on my free time…sort of. Though this hasn't been the hardest quarter I have had(ish) academically, I just lost all energy to do anything once I got home from either work or class. The main reason I took summer classes was to make sure that I kept on going with the program. I honestly thought if I had any kind of mental break that I would not return to the program. I am starting to realize that I should have actually taken the summer off. I think without having time to rest and soothe my brain, it seeped into fall quarter and made me way lazier than I wanted to be. I may go further into this in another blog, but I don't want to give any particular advice on taking summer classes (if able based on internship location). However, I only had to take 2 classes for the fall and only have to take 2 in the spring. Technically I only have to take 2 in the winter, but all 3 are required so that should be fun for my life.
Ok back to not rambling. Though I felt kind of lazy in how I was approaching my academics last quarter I ended up doing really well. I got a 3.77 for the quarter. I was extremely proud of my internship paper. With writing and appendices, it was approximately 140 pages! I've never wrote something that extensive by myself in my life. I was not really sure about how to approach it so, once again I need to make a note to myself to refer to this blog for future material.
As far as my winter break goes, it has actually been "meh. " Since I work for a college, as SOON as I go on break, I get swamped with hiring for instructors to teach in the winter quarter. I thought I would get some kind of break from it all with my academic break, but to no avail.
Outside of work, I have been using the time not in classes to work out more. I am participating in a "Maintain Not Gain" wellness challenge at Columbus State. Between the week of Thanksgiving, until the end of the first week of the New Year, the goal for employees is not to lose any weight but maintain your weight. Between all the gorging people do at Thanksgiving, various December holidays, New Years, and holiday potlucks/parties in between, it is pretty hard to do. I've taken the challenge a little bit more seriously, and have been trying to lose weight. I've been getting rave reviews on my progress, and can't wait to see my results for my final weigh in!
The other thing I've been doing is watching Switched at Birth. It is show obviously on ABC Family. SUCH A GOOD SHOW…I cannot wait until the winter premiere.
Ok that's about it. Just for memory sake, I am going to outline future topics for me to write about for memory purposes (and for you guys to hold me to later)!
1. New Year's Resolutions
2. To take or not take summer classes
3. Writing your internship paper
4. Maintain Not Gain results and my new found healthiness
5. The sanity I achieve from my cable TV
6. Classes
7. My planned winter quarter study structure
That's seven topics and I am sure more will pop up, so I should be good for almost all of winter! I'm not going to lie that I kind of was struggling with topics last quarter, so I am glad I was able to brainstorm some while writing this winter break blog.
Happy Holidays Everyone!
PS-I wrote this last week and never actually published it so by the way my holidays were very happy!

About the brand Avon
Avon beauty products and fragrances represent a true legend in the world of beauty. There is no doubt that Avon is one of the most respected cosmetic companies in the world, especially in direct sales. There are over six millions Avon Ladies and Avon Gentlemen selling the brand's products around the world. The wide range of Avon products includes makeup and skin care, perfume, fashion, homeware and other lines.
The brand was founded at the end of the 19th century by David McConnell, a book salesman who had the innovative idea to start adding a small perfumed token to every book. Pretty soon, his customers started to be more interested in the fragrances than the books. McConnell realised he was on to something and created his own California Perfume Company.
Many of the brand's products are named in honour of McConnells favourite author, William Shakespeare. Even the company itself is named after Stratford upon Avon where Shakespeare was born.
Avon's philosophy is based on David McConnell's belief that a successful sale always requires a personal touch, which is best achieved through direct contact with the customer. He became one of the first employers to give women the opportunity to earn their own money and be financially independent of men.
Nowadays, Avon is still very much concerned not only with giving women work opportunities, but also protecting their health and defending their rights. That's why Avon actively participates in many campaigns that raise awareness of problems like breast cancer or domestic violence. As part of their social responsibility policy, the company also supports the restoration of rainforests and was among the first cosmetics producers to stop testing on animals.
Of Avon's most popular lines, you might be familiar with Anew, Luxe, Planet Spa, Solutions, Avon Color, Skin-So-Soft or Advance Techniques. The great range of makeup, skin care, fragrances and other products is developed in Avon's Research and Development center in the state of New York, which employs expert biochemists, microbiologists, toxicologists, dermatologists and other specialists.
Avon will make your life more beautiful. Take your pick from the wide selection of Avon makeup, perfumes and skin care offered by Beautyspin.

"Twilight" Promo Tour Set for Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson
(LOS ANGELES) -- Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who reportedly have reconciled following her affair with Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, will be taking their renewed romance on the road this fall.
A promotional tour schedule has been set for their final Twilight film, which debuts November 16. According to Deadline.com, a press tour that will visit select U.S. markets is slated for October 14 and 21. It remains to be seen whether Pattinson and Stewart will make a joint appearance on that tour.
Pattinson is then scheduled to go to Australia, while Stewart will travel to Japan. They'll reunite the week of October 28 for a media session in Los Angeles.
Cast members will make appearances on various talk shows the week of November 4, leading up to the world premiere on November 12 of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 in Los Angeles.
Pattinson and Stewart will also tour England, Spain and Germany together from November 14 to 16.
Though there was speculation over the summer that Pattinson and Stewart's relationship had fallen apart because of her affair, recent reports have claimed he has taken her back and is living with her again.

Raphael Girard made 42 saves in net for the Crimson Monday night (John Quackenboss).
BOSTON, Mass. - Despite junior netminder Raphael Girard's best efforts, the Harvard men's hockey team fell to No. 5 Boston College, 4-1, Monday night in the opening round of the 61st Beanpot at TD Garden.
Girard made 42 saves - his second-highest total of the season - for the Crimson, including several spectacular stops, but a 51-second spurt that saw the Eagles put up two goals at the end of the second period proved to be the difference to send Harvard to a consolation matchup against Boston University Feb. 11. Danny Biega scored Harvard's lone goal, while Luke Greiner and Danny Fick both had an assist.
The Crimson came out of the gates strong, getting the first five shots of the game and holding Boston College without a shot until the 11:13 mark. Despite several scoring opportunities for both sides, it appeared as though the initial 20 minutes would end scoreless.
Boston College's first scoring chance triggered a flurry of opportunities for both teams. With just over nine minutes remaining, sophomore Johnny Gaudreau had a breakaway on net, but Harvard defensemen Brayden Jaw dove in front of the BC sophomore to knock away the puck and prevent a shot on goal.
Harvard answered when Jimmy Vesey weaved his way into the BC zone, knifing his way through the Eagles' defense, before firing a shot from the top of the left faceoff circle straight into the chest of Parker Milner.
The Eagles had another opportunity as Girard made an initial save that careened off his pads and found its way to the stick of Gaudreau. The Harvard junior sprawled back across the crease to deflect Gaudreau's shot and keep the game scoreless.
At the 5:20 mark, the Crimson nearly broke the scoreless tie when senior Luke Greiner rifled a shot from just above the right faceoff circle that clanged off the inside of the left post and back out of the crease.
The Crimson then killed off a power play with just over three minutes remaining after Brendan Rempel was whistled for interference, as Girard made six saves during the two-minute span to keep the Eagles at bay.
Boston College was able to break through after winning a faceoff in the Harvard zone with just over 30 seconds remaining in the period. Steven Whitney received the puck off the draw and sent it down to Quinn Smith in the slot, who flipped it into the top left corner of the net to give the Eagles a 1-0 advantage heading into the break.
After the intermission, Alex Fallstrom had a chance to tie the game, skating in on net with a BC defender draped on his back shoulder, before he sent a wrist shot off the left pad of Milner just under 2 minutes into the frame.
The Eagles continued to pepper Girard but he worked to deny BC scoring opportunities, making a snaring glove save before recording a sliding kick save about one minute apart five minutes into the second.
Neither team mustered much after the opening five minutes on the offensive end until BC struck again with just over 1:30 remaining in the frame. Smith found the scoresheet for a second time as he sent home a puck that skittered across the face of the net to push the advantage to two.
The Eagles then tacked on another tally just 51 seconds later off another faceoff. After Fick was whistled for holding, Mullane won the ensuing faceoff and sent the draw back to Teddy Doherty. He passed it to Michael Matheson sitting just to the right of the right faceoff circle, and the freshman fired a one-timer that snuck between Girard and the nearside post to make it 3-0.
In the third period, the Crimson got on the scoreboard with 10:43 remaining to cut into the deficit. After Greiner won a draw in the BC end, Harvard worked the puck around the zone with Fick feeding Biega, who ripped a shot from above the left faceoff circle that found the back of the net, aided by a screen from Conor Morrison, for his first tally of the season.
BC pushed the lead back to three after Steven Whitney intercepted a pass near center ice. The senior fired a wrist shot through a trio of Harvard defenders just under the crossbar into the top left corner of the cage with 5:02 left in the game to put the game out reach.
Before taking on BU next Monday, the Crimson hosts Dartmouth Saturday at 7 p.m. in a game televised on WBIN-TV and Fox College Sports.

While your loved one is in ICU, we're taking extra special care of them—with the highest number of nurses focused on our patients' every need. You bring familiarity and comfort to your loved one while they are the most vulnerable. You can also help us protect our patients' privacy, health and need for rest.
Children in the ICU
Children under 12 should be accompanied by an adult and check in at the nursing station before entering a patient room. Please limit kids' time so they don't get restless, and make sure they're not sick, so they don't unknowingly pass along illnesses.
Things to Bring
Steer away from food, drinks and flowers/plants. Even the smell can be nauseating to sick patients. Instead, consider bringing:
- Mylar Balloons (no latex due to allergies)
- Cards
- Photo albums
- Audio recording of well wishes
Protecting Against Infection
Because patients are very sick while they're in ICU, they can easily catch other illnesses brought in by people or items from outside. Help us prevent infection.
- Stay at home if you feel like you're coming down with something or have recently been exposed to flu, colds, shingles, measles, chickenpox, tuberculosis, respiratory illness, fever, diarrhea or skin conditions.
- Wash your hands when you enter and exit the room.
- If your loved one is in isolation, where protective gowns and gloves.
Getting Updates on Your Loved One's Condition
You'll get updates during daily discussions with critical care team members. If an acute change of event occurs, you may speak with the doctor more often. The bedside nurse can provide daily updates and clarification.
Each critical care unit has scheduled rounds with intensivists, specialists and other health care providers. If you are a partner in care, try to be present during rounds to ask questions. Ask a nurse when they take place, and make a list of your questions for rounds.

Marlins can't break through in rubber game
ATLANTA -- For the third game in a row on Wednesday, the Marlins' bats were quiet behind a stellar starting effort, as they were unable to capitalize on Nathan Eovaldi's strong six innings in a 3-1 loss to the Braves at Turner Field.
The Marlins, who have lost eight of their nine road games this season, finished 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position. They were just 3-for-22 in the series loss to the Braves.View Full Game Coverage
ATLANTA -- For the third game in a row on Wednesday, the Marlins' bats were quiet behind a stellar starting effort, as they were unable to capitalize on Nathan Eovaldi's strong six innings in a 3-1 loss to the Braves at Turner Field.
The Marlins, who have lost eight of their nine road games this season, finished 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position. They were just 3-for-22 in the series loss to the Braves.View Full Game Coverage
"When you should've won or had more than one opportunity to win, then that's when you take this trip and shake your head the whole time," said Giancarlo Stanton, who drove in Miami's lone run on Wednesday with an RBI double in the sixth.
Miami struck out 16 times on Wednesday, upping their total to 41 during the past three games.
"First things first, you've got to put the ball in play," Stanton said. "Even if you have bad contact or something doesn't go right, if you put it in play, something can happen. If you don't, then you obviously know where you're going -- on the bench."
Miami's offensive woes left Eovaldi and the bullpen little margin for error, and Evan Gattis took advantage by hitting a two-run double on a 1-1 A.J. Ramos fastball in the bottom of the eighth.
Gattis, who hit a walk-off two-run homer in the 10th inning of Monday's 4-2 Braves win, is now batting .377 (17-for-46) with four home runs and 17 RBIs against the Marlins.
Ramos gave up the game-winning hit, but the runs were charged to left-hander Mike Dunn, who now owns an 8.31 ERA in 8 2/3 innings of relief this season. The Miami bullpen surrendered four runs in seven innings in the series against the Braves.
"We're making some mistakes pitching-wise, too," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "Some of it is pitch selection. You've got a guy like Gattis, who's a really good fastball hitter, and you're thinking we're going to throw him a lot of offspeed pitches and breaking balls and make him hit that pitch. And he ended up hitting a fastball."
Added Ramos: "I wanted to get a fastball. I had faith in my fastball, as well. But I mean, when you throw it that far down the plate, anybody can hit it out and hit it like he did. It was just a bad pitch over the middle, and he did what he was supposed to do with it."
Eovaldi logged his fourth quality start in five outings this season. He gave up one unearned run on five hits, walked one, struck out seven and threw a season-high 104 pitches in his sixth straight start of six innings or more.
The lone run scored against Eovaldi came in the fourth, when Chris Johnson led off the frame by reaching on an Adeiny Hechavarria error. He advanced to second on a wild pitch by Eovaldi and scored an unearned run on a Ryan Doumit single.
Eovaldi also worked out of jams in the first and fifth innings. Atlanta put runners on first and second with one out in both frames, but it couldn't get any runs across.
Eovaldi retired Johnson on a popup to third and Doumit on a flyout to center field to end the first. In the fifth, he overcame back-to-back singles by getting Freddie Freeman, who entered Wednesday's game ranked sixth in the Majors with a .351 batting average, to ground into an inning-ending double play.
"I was able to work the fastball on both sides of the plate," Eovaldi said. "The slider was good. I was able to throw some changeups and curveballs in there towards the end of the game."
Eovaldi had a chance to earn his second win of the season when Casey McGehee walked and Derek Dietrich singled to lead off the seventh. But Braves reliever Jordan Walden came in and struck out Hechavarria, Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Greg Dobbs, who batted in place of Eovaldi.
"I thought we won the game there in the seventh inning with Walden," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "I thought that was an important part of the game. I know the eighth got a little hairy. But for me, [the seventh] was a big inning to get out of it."
No Marlin reached scoring position until the sixth, when Jeff Mathis singled and advanced to second on a Marcell Ozuna base hit. Stanton then followed with his Major League-leading 27th RBI on a bloop double to center field to score Mathis. Ozuna, who had singled, got a great jump from first, but he was held at third.
Miami threatened yet again in the eighth when Christian Yelich led off the frame with a bunt single to extend his career-best hitting streak to 17 games. But he was retired at second on a fielder's choice, Stanton was intentionally walked for the sixth time this season, Garrett Jones popped out to first base and McGehee lined out to right field.
The Marlins went quietly in a perfect ninth by Braves closer Craig Kimbrel, who struck out Hechavarria and Saltalamacchia. When Saltalamacchia swung and missed at a 3-2 fastball, Miami fell to 4-9 in games decided by three runs or fewer this season.
"These are teams you can't make mistakes on, and if you have an opportunity, you have to advance on it," Stanton said. "There's no second chances vs. teams like this."

The real, "from scratch" recipe takes several hours, given that you use dried beans to get a luscious broth. But sometimes I do a short-cut recipe for weeknights that captures most of the appeal of the original without the many hours of stirring. I definitely recommend trying the traditional recipe, however- both Viva Vegan and Color Me Vegan offer awesome versions (and you can't get that perfectly thick bean broth with canned beans, alas.) However, once you've mastered those, you may find yourself craving the dish on non-special occasions, such as a particularly gross rainy day. In that case, I think my version holds up fairly decently, and my feijoada-obsessed boyfriend agrees.
Brazilliant Feijoada serves 4
2 16 oz cans black (turtle) beans, drained and rinsed
2 medium onions, diced
6 cloves garlic, diced
2 cups mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1 cup deuhydrated soy curls or similar (I use "soja schnetzel")
1 cup red wine
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
2 Tbs. soy sauce
4 cups vegetable broth (or water + veg bouillon)
1 sprig fresh thyme, or 1 tsp. dried
1 bay leaf
1 and 1/2 Tbs. cumin
1and 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
1.) Reconstitute soy curls by pouring boiling veg broth (about 2 cups) over them (enough to cover) and soaking for about 5 minutes. Then drain, squeezing against colander gently to release excess water, and set aside.
2.) In a large, sturdy pot, heat a few good glugs of oil over medium low heat. When hot, add in onions and stir to coat. After 1-2 minutes, add in garlic. When garlic and onions are soft, season well with salt and pepper and pour in red wine to deglaze, cooking a few minutes more.
3.) Add in mushrooms and cook for 5 more minutes, then add in soy curls, beans, remaining two cups veg broth, and remaining ingredients. Bring mixture to a boil, then lower heat to low. Let stew simmer for 30 minutes, stirring ocassionally. Meanwhile, prepare accoutrements (ie, roasted plantains, greens of your choosing, orange rice.)
4.) After stew has boiled down and sauce has become thick, taste and adjust seasonings. (I usually add a bit more soy sauce and balsamic at this point.) Let cook a bit longer until plenty thick, and serve hot with plenty of rice and hot sauce. Leftovers are even better the next day.
For more on roasting plantains, see here. For more on cooking dried beans, which I fully encourage despite the above recipe, see here.

Lack of funds and common-sense oversight hinders aid to those with disabilities
Even at midday, the mobile home of Edward Celias is dark. The blinds are drawn and the only source of light is a small lamp in the corner. But Celias does not mind the darkness. He is legally blind.
Since losing his eyesight, becoming asthmatic and contracting chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, Celias' life has been a constant battle to survive. He has lived in seedy motels surrounded by drug dealers and shootings. His life savings were stolen from his bank account after he failed to realize his checkbooks were missing. Celias lost his left index finger when two men, one wielding a knife, entered his apartment, attacked him and stole the money from his recently cashed disability check. He lay bleeding on the floor of his apartment for two days following the attack.
"There are a lot of people out there who want to take advantage of you because you're blind, because you have a disability," Celias says. "So you know, life is not that easy. I have to figure out different ways to handle everything, and deal with not much money. I can use all the help I can get."
Like almost 500,000 other people in the state of Colorado, Celias now lives independently with his disabilities. He is able to do so only with the help of local disability service providers.
Celias receives three meals a day from Meals on Wheels of East Boulder County. A nurse from Adult Care Management Inc. comes to his house once a week to organize his daily medications and help him clean. His groceries come from the food bank of Sister Carmen, a local community center that provides assistance to those in need of "a little extra help." Celias receives a Social Security disability check for $1,017 every month, which he uses to pay rent at the Skylark Mobile Home Park, pay for his utility and phone bills and buy any medications not covered by Medicaid. A woman from the American Council for the Blind, whom Celias refers to only as "an angel," helped him find his current home and leave the dangerous conditions he was in before.
Local disability service providers work to give people like Celias the help they need. However, they are often limited by a lack of funding and a tangled bureaucratic system, which some critics say wastes more money than it saves. When these organizations must cut programs due to budget cuts or inefficient use of funds, it is their disabled clients who suffer most.
"Unfortunately, the way the system maintains systemic oppression, and I mean the system, not the people, is by dividing us into competing interests so we're all fighting over funds," says Ian Engle, executive director of the Center for People with Disabilities (CPWD) in Boulder. "We end up with senior services competing with people with disabilities, like ourselves. Or we end up competing for dollars with folks who are looking for education funding for kids, and that's just bogus."
Though disability service providers have long fought the funding battle, conditions worsened after the economic downturn. Still, funding is not the only problem, or even the biggest problem.
A bureaucratic system overseen by too many people with little understanding of the situations often holds disability service providers back from effectively helping their clients, Engle says. At the state level, the Department of Health Care Policy and Finance, the Division of Housing, the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and the Department of Health and Human Services all have a hand in governing some aspect of disability services. Furthermore, at the federal level, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) and the U.S. Social Security Administration also make decisions that affect the disabled and their providers.
Because many clients are receiving help from all these different levels, including locally, coordinating their services becomes a huge problem, Engle says. When changes occur at any level of clients' help, all aspects of their aid might be affected.
"It gets really ugly," Engle says. "For instance, recently the federal government, the Social Security Administration, gave everybody an increase in their disability checks. So on the one hand you get this increase from the feds, but then as soon as you get this increase in your income, your state food assistance gets dropped, so you have to pay more for food. Not only that, but your housing assistance gets dropped. So you might have gotten a $40 increase on your monthly check, but overall, you took a $60 hit."
This bureaucracy also leads to a tendency in the U.S. toward institutionalization rather than independent living. The bias comes mostly with Medicaid, which is a joint federal and state program, and has two main components: institutions, such as nursing homes, and home health.
"When the state cuts programs, the federal law doesn't allow them to cut the institutional side," says Tim Wheat, community organizer for CPWD. "But it does allow them to cut what they call 'optional services,' which is personal home health care service. In the last budgets, it is only home health that has experienced cuts. We took a 6 percent cut this year."
CMS openly acknowledges this institutional bias in its long-term care services, even commissioning the National Balancing Indicator Project in 2004 to analyze whether states were doing enough to combat it. This institutional bias presents a large problem because it leads to people being placed in nursing homes unnecessarily, and ultimately costs the state and the federal government a great deal more money.
Though at the national level efforts have been made to reduce the institutional bias, the problem has not gone away.
Mike Tennant is currently struggling with this institutional bias. He has lived in the Mesa Vista nursing home in Boulder for 21 months, but is ready to move out, and has been since last October.
Unfortunately, at around the same time that Tennant was ready to leave Mesa Vista, the Supportive Housing Program (SHP) of the Colorado Department of Local Affairs froze turnover vouchers in the Housing Choice Voucher Program. These vouchers previously helped people with disabilities transition back into the community from nursing homes or other institutions. The turnover vouchers come into play when a person using a voucher moves, dies or for some reason no longer needs their voucher. The leftover voucher money is then given to another person who is waiting for money.
The turnover voucher program was removed so the department could save money and remain within its budget, Wheat says. However, dropping the vouchers will likely end up costing the state more in the long run, especially in cases like Tennant's.
Tennant suffers from diabetes, and must regulate his blood sugar at least five times a day. At Mesa Vista, the nurses give Tennant his insulin shots and check his blood sugar. Though Tennant admits that he does need a little extra help, he does not need the 24-hour care of the nursing home.
"Right now I've got my diabetes under control," Tennant says. "I don't need to be in the nursing home. I can do it on my own. I did it once before, I can do it again. I'd rather be out there working, instead of just sitting in here watching TV."
Tennant carries a blue binder stuffed full of "homework" that Wheat gives him in preparation for leaving the nursing home. Tennant has a meticulously planned budget that includes food, transportation and other general living costs.
He knows how much he will make if he goes back to his job at the Diamond Shamrock convenience store, and how much he will receive from Social Security. He has looked into apartments that he can afford, and has been trained to administer his own insulin.
When the freeze on the turnover vouchers began in October, Tennant and Wheat were hopeful that the freeze would be over in a month. Soon, that turned into two months, then three months, then six months. Then Wheat received an email from the SHP confirming that the vouchers would not be reinstated at all.
"Mike may be in the nursing home indefinitely," Wheat says.
Another disability service provider in Boulder, Imagine!, must often adapt to these same bureaucratic nightmares and cuts in funding. Imagine! is a community-centered board, meaning that it serves as Boulder's single entry point into local, state and federally funded programs for people with disabilities. Imagine! also provides its own services for the developmentally, cognitively or physically disabled.
Recently, all Imagine! programs funded by Medicaid were cut by 4.5 percent, while at the same time, the costs of running the programs went up by the same amount, says Mark Emery, executive director of Imagine! Two years ago, the Family Support Service Program (FSSP) of Imagine! also had its budget cut by two-thirds. Since then, the amount of services for people with disabilities that Imagine! is able to provide in the area has dropped dramatically.
"The thing is, Imagine! is not the most affected by this," Emery says. "The people with disabilities who are living with their families are the most affected by this. These budget cuts happen, and at the same time, their need grows. People with disabilities are living with their parents for a lot longer period of time. The parents are getting older and they need more support, but instead they're getting less."
The FSSP provides grant money to families that are the main caretakers for their disabled children. When their funds are cut, the FSSP must decide whether they will decrease the amount of money given in each grant while maintaining the same number of grants, or reduce the number of grants but maintain the amount of money each grant is worth.
For families with two working parents or low incomes, the situation quickly becomes desperate when their grant money is cut or removed altogether, says Heather Forsyth, a member of the FSSP. The grants that Imagine! and the FSSP provide help families pay for the costs of caring for their family member with a developmental disability. This can include "respite care so that the families can get just a little break, medical costs, professional services, transportation and making the home a safer environment, among some other things," Forsyth says.
Because of their recent funding cuts, the FSSP has decided to shift its support to focus more on young adults attempting to transition from a school environment to living in the community on their own, Forsyth says. Medicaid has programs in place to ease such transitions, which are one part of the larger Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver programs. The waitlists for these waiver programs, however, are obscenely long.
The totals for the number of people on each of the different waitlists were provided at a Joint Budget Committee hearing for the Colorado Department of Human Services in December 2010. At the time, the HCBS Comprehensive Services list had 5,929 people. The HCBS Supported Living Services waitlist had 3,673, while the HCBS Children's Extensive Support list had 298, and the HCBS Family Support Services waitlist had 4,907 people.
"You can place a child on the waitlist for adult waivers when they are 14," says Forsyth. "My daughter has been on the waitlist since then, and she was eligible to get one of those waivers when she turned 18. But honestly, I am not anticipating that she will get a waiver for another 10 years or more, and that's if there is still funding around. You never know how the system can change. So it's a pretty huge burden."
Funding cuts and daunting waitlists barely graze the surface of the mountain of difficulties that disability service providers face.
"There is more at work here than the economy," Emery says. "If all we had to deal with was the economic downturn, I'd be thrilled. But we had to deal with that plus some decisions by the Department of Human Services that really impacted us as well."
The decisions to which Emery refers were made in 2004, and determined that the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Finance would become the authority for issues related to providing services for the developmentally disabled. Since then, the way that the services are funded and delivered has changed greatly, says Fred Hobbs, director of public relations for Imagine!
Disability services are now paid for and defined through a fee-for-service model and a "deficit-based approach," Hobbs says. This means that the services the client needs are paid for after they have been administered, and the services focus narrowly on one aspect of the client's problems.
"Now, in a regular hospital, that's fine," Hobbs says. "I have insurance so if I break my arm, I go to the hospital, they fix my arm, the insurance pays for it, and it's done. That makes sense. But in the world of disabilities, that doesn't make sense. If you have a disability, you don't go to the hospital, get some treatment and it goes away. That's not how it works. So if you're taking this deficit-based approach with these waivers, essentially you're just putting money into an issue that can't be solved. It's just going down the drain."
The system changed in order to ensure more accountability from the federal government for the appropriation of funds, Emery says. "These decisions were made without an understanding of our difficulties," he says.
"Now, we're stuck in a system that is completely unsustainable and can't survive for much longer. We're just costing ourselves more money. Something needs to change."
Those who work for Imagine! and the CPWD have many ideas about how to fix the system. In reality, it is doubtful that disability services will have their funding increased by any significant amount in coming years, barring some miracle economic boom.
Therefore, they are looking for other ways to solve their problems and to better serve the clients. Engle advocates a Money Follows the Person approach, which would allow Medicaid funds to be used flexibly to address a client's specific needs and preferences.
Though disability service providers may struggle to survive, their clients, like Celias, Tennant and Forsyth, would struggle even more if they were to disappear.
Back in Celias' dark mobile home, the sound of the oxygen tank pushing air through a tube in his nose becomes the only sound as he contemplates how his life would be without the help of disability service providers.
"If any of these people that help me, if any of it got taken away, I wouldn't be able to live here on my own anymore," Celias says. "My life is hard, but I want to live on my own. Nursing homes, they're like being subliminally in jail. I don't want to be in there. I don't want to be put in a home."

I was playing with AutoREALM the other day and noticed a lack of a five-foot-unit of measurement. There are inches, feet, yards, meters and then fathoms (apparently, six feet). This tool seems fairly old, but the wiki says it was published in 2006.
At any rate, my question is as follows - when did the five foot square/hex become the standard unit of measurement in Dungeons and Dragons? Or, has it always been that? Call me a sucker for accuracy, but I've considered switching to meters more times than just for AutoREALM measurements.

Family: Apiaceae (Umbelliferae)
Extraction: Distilled from the seed. The odor is herbaceous, sweet and licorice-like. A bitter fennel oil is distilled from whole herb.
Medicinal Action: Fennel reduces obesity, water retention, urinary-tract problems, indigestion and babies' colic. Its hormonal properties (mostly estrogen-like) increase mother's milk and slightly stimulate the adrenals. It is used to inhibit appetite.
Cosmetic/Skin Use: Fennel refines the complexion, especially of mature skin, and heals bruises.
Emotional Attribute: Stimulating and revitalizing, fennel increases self-motivation and enlivens the personality.
Considerations: Since it can overexcite the nervous system and even cause convulsions, use fennel oil carefully. Individuals with nervous-system problems, epilepsy or estrogen-related disorders should avoid it.
Associated Oil:
Dill (Anethum graveolens) --Dill oil is distilled from the seed. This southwestern Asia/Mediterranean herb treats obesity, water retention and indigestion, and also refines the complexion. Early Americans chewed the seeds to inhibit appetite during church services. Babies with colic were given "gripe water"-a syrup of dill, fennel and baking soda-then put to bed on fragrant "dilly pillows" (see "Therapeutics" chapter) of dill, lavender and chamomile.

OSWEGO, NY – Oswego Kartway management officially released their 2013 schedule on Tuesday, featuring an aggressive plan of 20 events beginning in late April and running straight through the month of September.
The Kartway, now in its 8th year of operation, is located directly behind Oswego Speedway holding kart racing events nearly every Friday beginning April 26. Over the years the Kartway has become a proven testing ground for young drivers looking to make the move to the fast 5/8 mile 'Steel Palace.'
No fewer than eight drivers have made the move from the Kartway to the Speedway including current Pathfinder Bank SBS series pilots Josh Kerr, Dalton Doyle, David LaTulip, AJ Bernys, and Anthony Losurdo.
Current and former Speedway competitors also use the Kartway to remain sharp. Tim Gareau, Dave Cliff Jr., and Chris Natoli are quite often found on the Kartway's racing surface.
"We are very proud of what the Oswego Kartway has become," said Oswego Speedway co-owner, John Torrese. "It is a fast, tight race track which has become a tremendous feeder system for our Saturday night divisions at Oswego Speedway. It offers a means for not only our local young community, but also adults of all ages, to come out have fun and race on the grounds of the Speedway. The racing at the Kartway is no doubt entertaining and it serves as a perfect way to spend a Friday night and kick-off a full weekend of racing."
The Kartway is not only racer friendly, but fan friendly as well. Bleacher seating and track side vehicle parking is available for fans in attendance to enjoy the racing action for only $5 per car load admission. Full service concession stands and restroom facilities are available, as well as access to the rear grandstand of the Speedway to watch any Supermodified or SBS racers that may be track testing during 'Fast Friday' sessions.
The 2013 schedule of events at the Kartway begins with an open test session on Saturday, April 20 and returns with a pre-season race on Friday, April 26.
The 14-race track championship trail at the tight clay oval officially begins Friday, May 3 with the running of the 'Kartway Kick-Off'. The track will run seven consecutive Friday nights to start the season including an extra lap Memorial Day Weekend special on May 24 and the popular 'King of the Kartway' event on June 14.
The Kartway will take its first of two weekends off on June 21 in honor of graduation weekend in Oswego before running a stretch of three weeks in a row featuring the 'Grand Prix Night' special on July 5.
Once again, the Kartway will be silent on July 19 in honor of SUNOCO Race of Champions Weekend at the Speedway.
The championship stretch at the Kartway will culminate with another five straight weeks of racing, but only four of those will be point events. The annual 'Battle at the Bull Ring' will be run on August 2 as a non-point event and will be run in the same form as the Kartway Classic with time trials and B-Mains to set the field. As always, 'Battle at the Bull Ring' feature winners will be guaranteed starters for the Kartway Classic later in August.
The final night of the 14-race track championship season at the Kartway will be August 23 as a part of Champion's Night. On that evening track champions will be crowned in all divisions.
The Kartway Classic will immediately follow Champion's Night for its 7th running on Thursday, August 29 as a part of International Classic Week at the Speedway. This event, which yearly pulls in over 100 entries, has become a Classic Weekend fan favorite and serves as a perfect way to kick start the racing action at the Speedway.
New to the Kartway in 2013 will be the 'Fall Frenzy' series beginning on Friday, September 6. The series will run on three consecutive Friday nights, separate from the track championship standings, and will declare fall champions in all participating divisions. The always popular 'Queen of the Kartway' will again take place on September 20.
Work is currently under way to continue the Driver Rewards Program started at the Kartway in 2012, which allowed driver's attending every weekly point show last season a chance to win a brand new 2013 PRC Triton kart courtesy of Oswego Kartway.

As the sordid Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse case unfolded, it exposed gaps in state-mandated abuse-reporting requirements that put untold numbers of children in peril.
The Pennsylvania Task Force on Child Protection, which was created by the state Legislature in response to the Sandusky case, has recommended a host of changes to require reporting by more people and to make it easier to do so.
Most of those changes are to the good but they only partially deal with issues raised by the Sandusky case. A full policy response won't be possible until Attorney General-elect Kathleen Kane undertakes her promised investigation of the state's own bungled response to the Sandusky case, which extends far beyond the former administration at Penn State University.
Former PSU President Graham Spanier, former Vice President Gary Schultz and former Athletic Director Tim Curley await trial on charges related to their alleged mishandling of the Sandusky case in 2001.
But suspicions about Mr. Sandusky were reported to the appropriate local and state agencies in 1998, investigations were conducted and nothing happened. Then in 2008, when the incident that led to Mr. Sandusky's arrest and conviction was reported, an investigation launched by then-Attorney General Tom Corbett's office dragged on for three years during which Aaron Fisher, also known as Mr. Sandusky's "Victim No. 1," later said he contemplated suicide as Mr. Sandusky remained free.
There has been no action regarding school district personnel, who already have a statutory responsibility to report suspected abuse. Nor has there been any action regarding the Second Mile, the charity founded by Mr. Sandusky, through which he gained access to some of his victims.
The issue isn't simply the need to report but the need for those receiving reports to respond.
Meanwhile, the task force recommendations include: expanding the definition of child abuse so that actual physical contact is not required for an arrest; expanding the list of mandated reporters to include college employees, computer technicians and employees and volunteers of organizations dealing with children; replacing the current 1-800-932-0313 child abuse hotline with a three-digit number; requiring teachers to directly report suspected abuse through the hotline rather than to school administrators; and establishing a central database of abuse investigations.
State lawmakers should add rapid responses by appropriate state agencies to the list. They should ensure that agencies have the resources they need to do so. And they should be prepared for another policy update once Ms. Kane does her work.

This Halloween, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has dug up some of the spookiest, creepiest species on The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™.
The Common Vampire Bat (Desmodus rotundus) is one of three bat species that feed only on blood. Its reputation as the Dracula of the natural world and the fact that it very occasionally spreads rabies to cattle means that it has often been persecuted. However, only in exceptional circumstances does it bite humans and targeted control programmes mean that its role in the spread of disease to cattle can be limited. The Common Vampire Bat shows altruistic behaviour by sharing its food with other bats that fail to find a blood meal. Its saliva contains an anticoagulant which has been isolated and is now available for the treatment of blood clots in humans. Found in Central and South America, the Common Vampire Bat is listed as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List.
Watch how the Common Vampire Bat feeds in this video from ARKive, an IUCN Red List partner.
Lurking on the muddy floor of the Atlantic Ocean is another species you might not wish to meet on Halloween. The Atlantic Hagfish (Myxine glutinosa) feeds on dead or dying fish by boring into the body and consuming the internal organs and muscle. Although this may sound unpleasant, the Atlantic Hagfish has a very important role in cleaning the floor of the ocean and recycling nutrients that benefits the health of the ocean. It is listed as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List.
Although there are currently 65,518 species listed on The IUCN Red List, there are some groups of species which are underrepresented and waiting to be assessed. One such group is fungi. Ophiocordyceps unilateralis is a parasitoid fungus that infects insects such as ants and turns them into zombies. Ants infected by this fungus alter their behavior and climb the stems of plants before biting deep into a stem and dying. Shortly after the death of the ant, fungus will grow from the ant's head and rupture, releasing spores which can infect other ants. This fungus can be devastating to ant colonies but healthy ants are able to identify infected ants and carry them away from the colony to reduce the spread of infection.
See what happens when an ant is infected with Ophiocordyceps fungus in this BBC video narrated by David Attenborough.
Halloween is not complete without a ghostly character and one "ghost" on The IUCN Red List is the Table Mountain Ghost Frog (Heleophryne rosei), whose name was inspired by the ghostly atmosphere of Skeleton Gorge, South Africa, where this species was first found. The population of this Critically Endangered amphibian is thought to have declined by 50% between 1980 and 2000 and the spread of alien vegetation; fires; and water shortages are the main threats to this species. The Table Mountain Ghost Frog needs year round access to water for the development of tadpoles and both adults and tadpoles have adaptations suited to this life. Adults have highly webbed feet for swimming and tadpoles have large sucker like mouths to cling to rocks.
Although, there are many species which seem spooky, they all have an important role in maintaining healthy ecosystems and they can provide positive benefits to humans. Celebrate nature this Halloween and remember that many species are not as scary as they first appear!
