Have we lost Kirfah too?
Oh, I hope not!
Our son won't stop doing math, honey!
Not in my house mister!!! You can differentiate all you want with your little hoodlum friends, but in here it's wild guesses and rounding errors!
I don't know about anyone else, but that looks like a perfect ending point.
Chris can have many options on where to take that if/when we pick this back up.
I am, therefore, I shall be.
Yeah... I sure don't know what to post next anyway. I mean, I've turned it around and around. Courtroom, execution... not a lot to do or say at this point.
I had prep'd the following months ago when I saw the end coming up, but Chris put such a nice end to it I didn't want to post in the in game thread. Still I couldn't let it go to waste so I'm tossing it up here to share.
Into the late hours of the night, Kirfah sits alone in the study of the Sajid manor, his quill scratching ink onto the last remaining blank page of his tome. With a flourished signature, a bit of sand to quickly dry the ink and a gentle huff of breath, Kirfah closes the book, binds it in a leather cord and seals the knot in wax pressed with the family signet. He gently holds the thick, well worn volume in hand as he crosses to a trunk that sits ready and waiting, it's lid open wide. Placing the book atop the contents, to sit safe until the spring when it can be taken to his Master at the Turmish Academy, Kirfah closes and locks the lid without a word.
I like that! It's an excellent closer, in fact.
Here are a few things that I've thought about, in terms of after the story with the PCs and the colony, though I'm sure that things might be different.
I anticipte Kirfah to leave the colony come spring to strike out on his own, with his mother travelling with him only as far as The Midnight, but Sharad helping to rebuild the colony proper, likely with the help of the nearby Zuihou (complete with a local marriage). In fact, it's a good bet that the colony as a solely Theshian venture is dead, but will be successful with combined effort from other nations.
Many of the other colonists will likely stay. Wybert will be another one of the new leaders, and he and Breena will start a family. Leif would be another part of the new leadership, and the Kingdom of Oermig (his home) would send envoys based on his mother's letter. The Northmen would be a strong positive presence in the new colony. The young cooper and his wife would prefer to leave, but Agatha would convince the wife to help form an orphanage, with Annabelle deciding to join the order of Valasia The oldest of the orphans, too, would be instrumental in keeping the colony afloat. Mathilde would stay, securing the backing of the dwarves. Lassi and Orvokki would help guide things, and would be key in bringing new colonists in.
It's also likely that Olaf will secure a local presence within the colony, and a number of his troop opting to live the pastoral life rather than in Juren.
Hoylur would of course secure the next passage back to The Empire, and his report would likely restore his noble claim, which, in turn would likely have his mysterious mistress warm to him. His report would also provide the Conclave with enough evidence to establish an outpost as part of the colony, which, on the one hand will mean easier meddling, but on the other hand mean easier assistance in an emergency.
Gunther would be key in rebuilding the trade connections with the gen and zuihou, but might or might not stay within the colony proper. It really depends on just what The Cross sisters choose to do, and how his fledgling relationship with Zora would naturally unfold.
I imagine that Brit and Zora will strike out to search for Sir Nathanial and the rest of the family as soon as they feel right in doing so. That might mean staying 'til spring, or it might be staying for long enough to establish proper leadership within the colony. Agatha would be the most likely candidate (aside from Brit herself), but Gunther certainly has the experience.
So, all that to say, I agree, I think that the campaign, which has spanned 5 1/2 years, is at an excellent stopping point. I think that there is potential for these PCs to continue in other adventures, though I don't see them doing so together, at least in the near future. This is also the last of my Kuralia games to use the D20 ruleset. I'm working toward putting it into GURPS, and this campaign has given me myriad ideas about how to go about doing that.
Our son won't stop doing math, honey!
Not in my house mister!!! You can differentiate all you want with your little hoodlum friends, but in here it's wild guesses and rounding errors!
That all sounds great Chris. I'm glad you're taking it into GURPS, it's a great system that's highly adaptable and flexible. I don't think it gets the play it deserves. Although I do have a friend who plays it exclusively.
Glad it's wrapped up. Way to go with the longevity. I know it's really tough to keep a campaign going for so long - it's a testament to your skills.
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces, singing 'whiskey for my men, beer for my horses!' -Toby Keith
Oh yeah, Chris has skills, that's for sure. He's really awesome in pen and paper, too. You've no idea.
I'm relieved and happy we got to a good stopping place that seems to wrap everything up nice and tidily. I really like Dal's closer, too. Even though I see why you didn't post it, it seems like a great fade to the end type of scene in a movie.

Doggie CPR - how to resuscitate your pet from near drowning
by John Galcius, July 13, 2009
Dog Resuscitation / CPR for Pets
If disaster strikes, and your dog begins to drown, respiratory arrest may occur, and usually occurs before cardiac arrest. The heart may continue to beat for several minutes after the breathing stops. Artificial respiration, or rescue breathing, must begin immediately to save your dog's life. If the heart stops, chest compressions must be given right away to keep the blood pumping. Artificial respiration and chest compressions given together are called cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR for dogs.
Here are some lifesaving instructions from peteducation.com.
Artificial Respiration
If your dog has gone into respiratory arrest, begin artificial respiration immediately.
1. Lay your dog on his side on a flat surface.
2. Be sure your dog has stopped breathing: watch for the rise and fall of the chest, feel for breath on your hand, look at the gums - they will turn blue from lack of oxygen.
3. Check the airway - it must be clear. Extend the head and neck. Open the mouth and look for a foreign object. If an object is blocking the airway, grab the tongue and pull it outward. If this does not dislodge the object, use your fingers, pliers, or tongs to grasp it. If the object cannot be reached or pulled out, use the Heimlich maneuver. Do not mistake the small bones in the throat for a foreign object.
4. Once the airway is clear, begin rescue breathing.
5. With your dog on his side, lift the chin to straighten out his throat.
6. Use one hand to grasp the muzzle and hold the mouth shut.
7. Put your mouth completely over the nose and blow gently; the chest should expand. Blow just enough to move his chest (blow harder for large dogs, gently for cats and small dogs).
8. Wait for the air to leave the lungs before breathing again.
9. Continue this, giving 20 breaths per minute (one breath every three seconds), until your dog breathes on his own or as long as the heart beats.
10. Continue to monitor the dog's heartbeat.
CPR For Dogs
Around the pool, there is always the possibility for disaster. If you find your dog unresponsive, check for a heart rhythm, If there is none, Dog CPR is indicated.
Around the pool, there is always the possibility for disaster. If you find your dog unresponsive, check for a heart rhythm, If there is none, Dog CPR is indicated.
CPR For Small Dogs (under 30 pounds)
1. Lay your dog on her side on a flat surface.
2. Place the palm of your hand on the rib cage over the heart. Place your other hand on top of the first. (For puppies and kittens, put your thumb on one side of the chest and the rest of your fingers on the other side.)
3. Compress the chest about one inch. Squeeze and release rhythmically at a rate of 80 to 100 compressions per minute.
CPR For Medium & Large Dogs (over 30 pounds)
1. Lay your dog on her side on a flat surface.
2. Place one hand on top of the other over the widest portion of the rib cage, not over the heart.
3. Keeping your arms straight, push down on the rib cage. Compress the chest ¼ of its width. Squeeze and release rhythmically at a rate of 80 compressions per minute.
4. Continue CPR until your dog breathes on his own and has a steady heartbeat.

Vaccination Rates Are Associated with Functional Proximity but Not Base Proximity of Vaccination Clinics
Background: Routine annual influenza vaccinations are recommended for persons 6 months of age and older, but less than half of U.S. adults get vaccinated. Many employers offer employees free influenza vaccinations at workplace clinics, but even then take-up is low.
Objective: To determine whether employees are significantly more likely to get vaccinated if they have a higher probability of walking by the clinic for reasons other than vaccination.
Method: We obtained data from an employer with a free workplace influenza vaccination clinic. Using each employee's building entry/exit swipe card data, we test whether functional proximity—the likelihood that the employee walks by the clinic for reasons other than vaccination—predicts whether the employee gets vaccinated at the clinic. We also test whether base proximity—the inverse of walking distance from the employee's desk to the clinic—predicts vaccination probability.
Participants: A total of 1,801 employees of a health benefits administrator that held a free workplace influenza vaccination clinic.
Results: A 2 SD increase in functional proximity is associated with a 6.4 percentage point increase in the probability of vaccination (total vaccination rate at company=40%), even though the average employee's desk is only 166 meters from the clinic. Base proximity does not predict vaccination probability.
Conclusions and Relevance: Minor changes in the environment can have substantial effects on the probability of vaccination. If these results generalize, health systems should emphasize functional proximity over base proximity when locating preventive health services.

The fossils were lost, and nobody even knew it. For ages, a stockpile of over 300 specimens — including several collected by Charles Darwin on his historic Voyage of the Beagle — has been changing hands throughout England, hidden away inside a nondescript cabinet.
Now, 165 years later, the fossils (and their history) have been (re)discovered. And it's all thanks to one curious paleontologist.
The paleontologist in question is Dr. Howard Falcon-Lang — a researcher in the department of Earth Sciences at Royal Holloway, University of London — whose studies had led him to the British Geological Survey headquarters in Nottinghamshire. It was there, while searching for an entirely different set of fossils, that he happened upon a dusty old cabinet. Inside it were drawers, labeled simply "'unregistered fossil plants."
"I can't resist a mystery," said Falcon-Lang, "so I pulled one open. What I found inside made my jaw drop."
Falcon-Lang had stumbled upon 314 beautiful glass slides. Preserved within each one was a thin, translucent sheet of fossilized plant or fungus. "Almost the first slide I picked up was labeled 'C. Darwin Esq.' This turned out to be a piece of fossil wood collected by Darwin during his famous Voyage of the Beagle in 1834," he said. [The specimen, a piece from a 40-million-year-old fossil tree from Chiloe Island, Chile, is featured here.] So far, 17 of the rediscovered specimens have been verified as Darwin's.
Further Investigation into the origin of the specimens in the cabinet revealed that they had been left in the care of Darwin's close friend, botanist Joseph Hooker, in 1846; they were lost, however, when Hooker failed to catalogue them properly before departing on a Himalayan expedition. In 1851, the fossils were moved to the Museum of Practical Geology in Piccadilly; in 1935, they were transferred to the Geological Museum in South Kensington; and by 1985, the specimens had found their way to the British Geological Survey headquarters, where they were finally discovered by Falcon-Lang. Over the course of 165 years, the fossils — and their significance — had slowly been forgotten.
A number of the slides (including the one up top, which features a cross section through a cone of a 300-million-year-old club moss tree) have been made accessible to the public through an online museum exhibit, hosted by the British Geological Society.

HAVELOCK � A layer of white covered Derick Lane�s car, and for the first time in a couple of weeks, it wasn�t snow.
HAVELOCK � A layer of white covered Derick Lane�s car, and for the first time in a couple of weeks, it wasn�t snow.
Lane, like many others, used the opportunity of a recent bright, sunny day to wash his car, covering it with white, soapy suds at the Emerald Oasis Car Wash in Havelock.
�I love my car,� he said of his Nissan Maxima. �I take care of it like I take care of myself.�
And that�s important, especially after winter storms in which roads are treated with salt in an attempt to break up the snow and ice, said Mitchell Whitney, owner of Platinum Mobile Detailing in Havelock.
�A car is the second biggest investment you will ever make, next to your house,� Whitney said. �You�ve got a $20,000 investment. Why would you not take care of it? Our main focus is to make sure your vehicle looks good and it stays in the proper condition.�
Whitney said all the salt and dirt trapped by snow that ends up on vehicles during and after a storm can harm the exterior clear coat, possibly leading to scratches on the paint, or in the worst-case scenario, corrosion of the vehicle.
�The longer that salt stays on that clear coat, the more it damages that clear coat and it causes spots and things of that nature, so you definitely want to get that salt off of there as soon as possible,� he said. �Not only do you have salt on your vehicle, but you also have all this muddy dirt that can cause scratches because of all the rock particles, so you have to get your car clean as quickly as possible to minimize those scratches.�
Whitney said he uses top-of-the-line soaps and degreasers to clean vehicles, something customer Brian Tessier appreciates. He brought in the black Ford Fusion his uses for work as a bondsman for Grimes Bail Bonding for a good cleaning after last week�s snowstorm.
�You want to have a nice car,� Tessier said.
He said he didn�t even take the car out during the recent snowstorms but said it still got dirty from residual salt and dirt left on the roads days after the storm.
�It was bad,� he said of his car. �All the salt on the road and everything, it definitely turned a black vehicle gray real quick.�
Others choose to wash their cars themselves, and for those who do, Whitney said they must take the right steps.
�It takes the right chemicals to wash your car properly,� he said. �A car is just like your body. If your skin is dry, you�re going to put lotion on. If your car is dirty, then obviously you want to put something on to treat that.�
He said some do-it-yourselfers make the mistake of grabbing a cloth and washing the car as their first step.
�It�s very important to rinse your car first to get all those particles off the car,� he said. �That way you�re not rubbing any of that salt or the dirt particles across the car. You�ve got to get all those particles off to prevent scratches.�
He also said it�s important to dry the vehicle with a proper cloth to prevent water spots.
�You see these people go through the automatic washers and just drive off,� he said. �That�s one of the worst things you can do.�
And for those who think a good, soaking rain will do the job, think again.
�All it does is just move around the mud and dirt,� Whitney said.
Jarrett Griffin was working hard on his car at Emerald Oasis Car Wash. He bypassed the automatic machine wash for a more hands-on approach.
�I don�t think it gets off everything,� he said of the automatic wash. �You�ve got to scrub this thing yourself. All that salt and debris, it�s not good for your car. You�ve got to get it off.�
He said he was proud of his Honda Accord and washes it frequently.
�I had to wash it after this weather,� he said of the recent winter storm. �It will mess up the tires and everything.�
And he�s hoping his car doesn�t have to endure another winter storm.
�I�m glad the snow is gone,� Griffin said. �I don�t want it back.�

Barr is itself a common term denoting a hill and is usually the first element in names, e.g. Barr Trí gCom (Baurtregaum), Barr na Coilleadh (Barnakillew), etc. Also hill of the top seems a strange way to describe War Hill, since it's really only a lower outlier of Djouce. An alternative is that the name was created in English, and this is supported by a reference to a battle on War Hill in a letter written on 15th December 1838 by Eugene O'Curry. "In the Townland of Lackandarragh in the Powerscourt Parish they shew a place called the Churchyard, but it does not retain the least vestige of either a church or churchyard. Some say that it was the place of sepulture of persons killed in a battle fought between the English troops and the O'Tooles some three hundred years ago. This battle was fought on War Hill, immediately overhanging this Churchyard, on the opposite side of the river." Of course, one would expect these events to give rise to Battle Hill, rather than War Hill, so this suggestion must also be considered tentative. War Hill is the 134th highest place in Ireland.

Picture: The perfect dome of War Hill from Djouce. Small cairn, big view and sapping heather. Short Summary created by simon3 6 Nov 2011 War Hill has huge views over Wicklow. If you approach it from the Maulin side these come as a great relief after tramping up its 1km heather covered north eastern side. Sitting as it does mostly behind other summits as viewed from roads, probably the main reason people will come to it is as part of a bigger circuit. This could start at O1920 1417 A (Crone Wood carpark) or some of the access points for Djouce such as O168 078 B. It is possible to walk directly to it from the vicinity of Sheepbanks Bridge O159 096 C on the R759 over rough boggy ground. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/129/comment/4889/ Picture from padodes padodes on War Hill, 2008 by padodes 21 Nov 2008 Every time I climb War Hill, I am reminded of the old Romans' notorious lack of imagination. Just as they could sometimes find no better way of naming their sons than by using bare numerals (Primus, Secundus … Quintus, Sextus…), those who gave this hill its Irish name, Cnoc an Bhairr, the Hill of the Top, could hardly have chosen a less imaginative name either. Perhaps, though, that very bareness says it all. You cross this top because you're on your way somewhere else, and you don't linger on its windswept, waterlogged waste. The photo gives an impression of this. It's a snap of the rather apologetic 'summit cairn' at O 1689 1133 D (taken facing northwards, so no prize for guessing the direction of the prevailing wind). The one redeeming feature of this hill is its NE spur, however. Running in the direction of Maulin, it offers excellent views and provides a very enjoyable ridge walk on winter days when it sparkles with frost and its frozen patches of bog moss are like pools of green glass, or in the late summer when you find clouds of little butterflies rising from the heather at every step. At times like that, it's hard to believe the asphalt world of Dublin can be so close.Although 'War' is only a meaningless transliteration of the Irish (Cnoc an) Bhairr, I have read that warring activity did, in fact, take place on the slopes of this hill between English troops and the O'Toole clan, back in the XVI century. The bodies of the fallen are said to have been buried at Lackandarragh, in nearby Glencree Valley. A stretch of the Wicklow Way, along Glencree River, runs through this very area, in the shadow of Knockree.

But this is part of its attraction! It has not been pounded into submission. Coming from the Tonduff direction there is a nice pull up the north eastern slope.War Hill is unfortunately overshadowed in more senses than one by its neighbours to the north and south, but even so it has a pretty cairn at the summit and lovely views. There is a much better chance of seeing wildlife around here than the more busy tracks. But be warned there is no shelter of any sort to sheild you from the elements at the summit.There are nice views down the back of Djouce to the south and south west and east over Dublin Bay.

The 1979 Irish Walking Guides (East) describes a circular route from carpark at Djouce woods which takes in Djouce Mountain, War Hill and then follows the Dargle River past the Powerscourt Waterfall. This seemed an ideal walk for an afternoon.The first part of the walk up Djouce Mountain is straight forward with a well defined path. From the summit of Djouce there is a less distinct path which runs first west then NW following a line of old iron posts towards War Hill (passing the impressive 'Coffin Stone' on the way). From the top of War Hill the route then goes NE towards the Dargle valley and here the problems began. Firstly the path becomes very unclear (and we eventually lost sight of it) and secondly we encountered an extensive growth of bracken along the floor of the Dargle valley. In places the bracken was over head height and with no path to be seen we had to forge our own way through. This was quite hard at times as our feet become tangled in the undergrowth or we tripped on unseen boulders which were masked by the bracken. After over a 1.5km struggle through the bracken we reached the Wicklow Way where it crosses the Dargle River and decided to call it a day by following the Wicklow Way back SE towards our car parked at Djouce Woods. In the end this turned out to probably the most unpleasant walk that we have undertaken in the Wicklow's and certainly would not recommend the walk in Summer when the bracken is growing. It would be especially difficult and perhaps dangerous for children during this time of year.

For the better part of three decades, a singularly pleasant voice belonging to a singularly remarkable lady has graced tens of thousands of calls with a greeting that always was much more than just a courteous "hello." To many if not most of those dialing our number — from subscribers changing their addresses to readers announcing births, deaths and everything in between — Jean Stuchlik was the newspaper office — the human face, voice and soul of the inanimate pile of newsprint they invited into their homes each week.
Next week, the person who so deftly has handled every inquiry imaginable since 1985 will finally write " — 30 — " on her career as receptionist, then circulation manager, and most recently business manager and member of the board of directors of Hoch Publishing Co. Well beyond even the most advanced of standard retirement ages — precisely how well beyond, we aren't about to say — Jean will log her last legal notice, renew her last subscription and find her last obscure typewriter ribbon for our customers. Having gradually reduced her work week from four days to three and then two, she will at long last give up her dusty drives from Lost Springs to Marion and officially retire.
Two of our reporters had yet to be born — much less write their first news stories — when Jean, mother of five, grandmother of 31, and great-grandmother of one, answered her first call at the Marion County Record in 1985. In the years since, she has become the most valuable and trusted member of our team, not only mastering the mind-boggling intricacies of some of our most complicated dealings (handling lawyers, Postal Service rules, and convoluted computer systems designed to make them happy) but also providing sage counsel, leadership, and plain old-fashioned commonsense that all too often eluded others.
For some months now, Jean has been wanting to spend more time with Alex, her accordion-playing husband of 51 years, but she ended up outlasting more than one of the people hired with the idea of eventually assuming some of her duties. Now it will be Jane Johnson, Oliver Good, Joel Wright and the even longer-tenured Mel Honeyfield who will assume various parts of her duties, so irreplaceable has she proved that no one individual could ever step in for her.
A few tears were shed last month when she finally set a date for her last day of work. Our newspaper is and always has been a family in far more ways than just who owns stock in it. Amid a decade of seemingly constant change, Jean has been our virtual family's one sure pillar of strength and stability, just as she has been for her own very large and wonderfully talented family in real life. As individuals, as a company and as a community, we owe her a debt we can never repay.
What more fitting way to honor her 29 years of service than by dropping by the Record office between 1 and 3 next Wednesday to pick up a paper, enjoy punch and cookies in her honor, and recount the many years of loyal dedication she has given both to the newspaper and to its customers. We can only hope and pray that all of us — as workers, community members and human beings — aspire to her example.

Those green plumes of smoke coming from the New York Jets' Florham Park complex can only mean one thing:
Michael Vick has selected his jersey number.
"I want to see everybody in there (sic) MV8 jerseys this year," the quarterback wrote Monday on Instagram. "I appreciate all the fans that helped. Fresh start ... new me!"
Vick has worn No. 7 throughout his college and pro career, the same number Geno Smith took when he was drafted by the Jets last April. Vick didn't want to rock the boat, so he went with No. 8, a reported nod to Pro Football Hall of Famer Steve Young.
Vick would be the first Jets player to wear No. 8 since Mark Brunell, who's most famous in Jets lore for warning Mark Sanchez to stay away from his teenage daughter on "Hard Knocks."
UPDATE: Vick might have changed his tune. The Instagram post of him donning No. 8 has been deleted and the Jets have not yet issued him a number, per the team's official website. Earlier, Vick tweeted that he was deciding between No. 8 and No. 3; perhaps the latter option will suffice for the signal-caller.
In the latest edition of the "Around The League Podcast," the guys talk Geno Smith's future in New York and pick the winners and losers of free agency.

LPL Financial announced Thursday a new platform, available to all its independent contractor-representatives, reps who are employees of the banks and credit unions who work through LPL, and hybrid and RIA-only advisors, called the Fee-Based Variable Annuity (FBVA) Platform, that provides access to lower-cost variable annuities from five VA manufacturers.
The products will be available on LPL's Strategic Asset Management and Strategic Wealth platforms used by reps who use the LPL corporate RIA, and hybrids and RIAs, respectively.
Four of the five manufacturers have made existing VAs available on the fee-based platform, while the fifth—Allianz—has created a VA specifically for the new program, said LPL's John Moninger (left) in an interview on Thursday with AdvisorOne.
Moninger, executive VP for LPL and head of its Advisory and Brokerage Solutions unit, said LPL first conducted "extensive due diligence" on the universe of VA manufacturers, and chose five who were willing to make "a commitment for education" to LPL's advisors, many of whom may not have been extensive users of VAs in the past. Moninger said LPL also asked for a "commitment to marketing VAs differently," taking into account fee-based advisors' consultative rather than product-driven approach to clients, and sought from them a further "commitment to partnering with us on integration with data."
LPL required, on behalf of its fee-based advisors, "fully integrated account opening and reporting" so that clients could see what they were buying and what they were paying for the VAs: "They needed to be on board for that," Moninger said.
The VAs will also be less expensive than off-the-shelf annuities from those manufacturers—mortality and expense (M&E) fees on the VAs "have to be 65 bps or lower," noted Moninger, with "no surrender charges on the back end." As is standard practice, there would be additional costs for any riders to the VAs, which Moninger said were also chosen to complement each other, "each has
their own unique identity in the marketplace," providing LPL reps and advisors with a "good cross section" of options.
The five providers on the FBVA platform are:
- Allianz Life Insurance Co. of North America and Allianz Life Insurance Co. of New York
- AXA Equitable Life Insurance Co.
- Lincoln National Life Insurance Co., and Lincoln Life & Annuity Co. of New York
- Prudential Annuities companies
- Sun Life Financial
Moninger said the strategy around the new platform was driven by demand from advisors, with LPL noticing that after the 2008-2009 crisis "advisors who once walked away from VAs were now showing up," and showing interest in these protected, lifetime income vehicles. Add to that the first wave of boomers reaching traditional retirement age this year, and LPL decided, says Moninger, that "we have to give the fee based advisor the tools to be successful," in providing retirement income solutions.
Part of LPL's due diligence was, said Moninger, to "see what didn't work in the past," and correct for those deficiencies, while giving advisors "control over these assets on a discretionary basis," providing transparency on data—"We made sure that flowed through," allowing for integrated statements on performance and management of the subaccounts, all while providing model guidance for those subaccounts from LPL's own research team. The intent, Moninger said, was to "to improve our client experience, and also help advisors run their practices more efficiently."

Upon diagnosis with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the disease immediately teaches you that your pancreas isn't just this corn on the cob–shaped organ sitting behind your stomach. The insulin produced by this organ is crucial to metabolizing food, feeding your cells, and keeping you alive. When you're diagnosed, you learn how to test your blood sugar and inject carefully calculated insulin doses, and about the delicate dance of food, exercise, and blood sugar. This learning curve is steep and immediate. Your life depends on your ability to understand these core concepts, and once you're ejected back into your "normal life," T1D returns with you.
But that's just the tip of what T1D teaches. What you learn overall, as a person with T1D or as a loved one who cares for someone with T1D, touches so many aspects of your life other than the food on your plate or the insulin in your syringe. Living with T1D, in any capacity, gives a perspective and insight that doesn't live within the box of T1D.
It can also teach us less tangible, more lifelong lessons, like how to be brave, how to persevere, and how to appreciate.
Samantha Stevens, 23, was diagnosed with T1D at age five, and she is grateful for some aspects of her diagnosis. "It's taught me to have patience when I'm at my wit's end, and to appreciate the small victories in life. It puts things in perspective in a way that people without type 1 diabetes, or any chronic health issue, don't have the privilege to do." Because Samantha was diagnosed so young, her life has always included T1D, and she grappled with some very adult issues earlier than most kids. "To face such a great challenge at such a young age was a burden, but it also taught me to face adversity head on and handle obstacles with grace. And, perhaps most importantly, my type 1 diabetes reminds me every day that I'm not perfect, that life can be unpredictable, and every once in a while you deserve to say, 'Screw this, I'm eating cake!'"
Sean Oser, diagnosed with T1D at age 17 and now the parent of a child with T1D, learns from the disease both as a patient and as a healthcare professional. "With type 1 diabetes affecting both me and my 10-year-old daughter, it teaches me the importance of partnership—with family, friends, others with diabetes, and your healthcare team. Though so much of what we do is self-managed, their help is crucial. As a physician, it reminds me that the patient and their wishes are most important, so they should be offered choices and allowed to choose, not simply told what to do, even for conditions that don't require such close self-management. I am but a member of their team, and they are in charge."
Kelley Crumpler, RN, CDE, also lives with T1D. The disease has taught her the power of education and positively influenced her career choices. "T1D has taught my husband [also living with T1D] and I that our voices can really make a difference, that we can change perceptions of others, states of mind, and general outlooks on life. It helps us propel forward both as diabetologists and people with diabetes."
Type 1 diabetes teaches so much to the people whose bodies play host to it, but it also touches the lives of those who care for us, and take care of us. What does T1D teach the caregivers of people with the disease?
Meri Schumacher is the mother of four boys, three of whom live with T1D. For her, the glass remains half full. "Having three boys diagnosed so young with type 1 diabetes has brought our family closer and given us a clearer understanding of our strength and resilience. We have found that within each of us is an enduring spirit that can make a beautiful life even when hard things are before us all the live-long day. Because we have conquered the hardest days, and not only survived but thrived, we have been able to embrace the perspective that we have bad days … not a bad life."
But it's not just the parents of people with T1D who are impacted by this disease. The lives of friends and loved ones are also shaped by T1D. Leanne Noonan's husband, Ryan, has been living with T1D for 22 years. "I am confident in my abilities to stay calm in intense situations, and advocate and maneuver my way through a doctor's appointment or emergency-room visit when it is clear that I have more knowledge of type 1 diabetes than the doctor I am speaking to." Leanne has learned more than just the healthcare ropes of T1D―it's also added a layer of strength to her marriage.
"Type 1 diabetes has made us both more aware of good nutrition," says Peter Graffeo, husband to Karen, who has lived with T1D for 33 years. "Before I met Karen, I didn't think about things like glycemic index and watching carb counts. I've also learned that while sugary treats were banned when Karen was first diagnosed, they are now OK in moderation, and this helps me think about my dessert portions as well."
Kate Boylan, diagnosed with T1D at age four, has learned that there's no stopping her. "Type 1 diabetes is a constant pain in the rear, with tomfoolery and trickery around every turn. Despite that, T1D has taught me to be prepared and, therefore, seemingly outsmart and come through even the lowest of lows and highest of highs in situations of physical and emotional stress. Because of living with T1D, I feel as though I am a better, more compassionate, and generally healthy and joyful person. T1D has taught me to champion, challenge, and relish each and every day."
Type 1 diabetes can help us see food in new ways, and places a value on exercise that's more than just weight management. T1D teaches us to see the little things as truly little, and to celebrate every victory we can. It teaches spouses to count carbs, and the power of a juice box as "medicine" in a hypoglycemic moment. It teaches parents of kids with T1D what a full night's sleep really means. It teaches the friends of people with T1D that you can't ever have too many snacks in your glove compartment!
And in return, we teach T1D that we will never give up and that we'll continue to live well―with, despite, or because of it.

So Iv downloaded quite a few movies from thepiratebay.org and I used to have a good time watching them. I watch them on windows media player and recently all I can get is the sounds and no picture. I have tried playing them with suposedly updated versions of quicktime and realplayer and those dont work at all. Windows media player still works though because I can still watch porn that I stream directly from a site on it thank god. Also when it is trying to play the movie it says aquiring codec and codec aquired. It also says window media player is unable to read the extension .mov and it is unsure if the file is safe which I think it used to say before.
Iv tried deleting window media player so I could reinstall but it wont let me. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Cheer Uniforms: Color, Bounce and Comfort: Cheer Uniforms for Sale
Cheer uniforms are so much more than a colorful top and skirt that girls and women wear to bounce around and supports their favorite team. Of course, it is important to get one with the right colors and emblems and one that looks great on the field. However, color and bounds are not the only things to take into consideration when choosing cheer uniforms. Comfort and athletic capabilities are also important.
All uniforms should match. If the school's colors are red and black, that your uniforms should be red and black too with maybe a splash of white. All uniforms should be selected to look good on all the girls in the squad. While many of them are a bit sexy, cheerleading is an athletic pursuit and not just dancing around in a flippy skirt.
All cheer uniforms should be comfortable. The girls who are boosting spirit for the team are doing difficult athletic maneuvers like high kicks, straddle and pike jumps, pyramid building or lifts, flips and hand springs and other complicated gymnastic moves. Cheer uniforms must stay in place and stay flexible and nonbinding so the cheerleaders are comfortable and don't get injured.
Most uniforms consists of a top or vest, a short pleated or slit skirt and a pair of "spankies," bloomers or shorts to be worn under the skirt to ensure modesty and athletic comfort. Some cheer uniforms skip the skirt while others have long sleeves instead of no sleeves. All cheer uniforms are designed for show, but should focus on comfort as well.

TiVo's Fix For Jobless Veterans
TiVo's Fix For Jobless Veterans
Many companies have college interns. Why not for men and women back from combat?
By TOM ROGERS AND TOM WOLZIEN
They are everywhere, but we don't usually see them—the nearly 300,000 of the 2.4 million veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who are without work. That's a 12% unemployment rate, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. As a veteran recently told us, "It's like people say, 'Thank you for your service . . . but don't ask me for a job.'"
They deserve better. So this past spring at TiVo we filled a conference room with veterans on staff and said, "We're not doing enough for people getting out of the military. Figure it out." Those veterans of wars going back to Vietnam took 90 minutes to conceive and design a paid annual internship program for women and men just getting out of the military, or who have recently finished school after service.
The TiVo Summer Veterans Intern Program (TiVets) is based on two ideas. First: Since we have internships for college students, why not vets? Second, a résumé credential "buffer," such as the internship, answers the critical question of whether a veteran can successfully transition to civilian employment.
We match each veteran with two mentors, one of them a veteran. The mentors, along with a college intern, keep tabs on the performance of the vets, and on any other issues that might arise. There haven't been any.
Working with military bases and veterans groups near Silicon Valley, TiVo developed a list of more than 200 potential candidates for internships. Ten vets were eventually selected. Then our engineering and operations division connected the interns with the right positions. The first class of interns started in June.
We went into the experiment not expecting to hire any of the interns, but we will be hiring a number of them, and the line managers want to hire many more when positions become available.
The veterans adapted quickly to our corporate culture and in some cases brought military-type accountability to operations that had never looked to adopt that sort of discipline. They have proven their abilities and shown dedication and commitment. Those hired won't need an extensive amount of time for training, as is necessary for most new employees.
A number of other companies do make efforts to support veterans, but unfortunately the current job market isn't yielding a great deal of hiring. Yet an internship program like TiVo's costs companies very little. It is the commitment to making it work that truly matters, giving a veteran that first step into the private sector that could lead to permanent employment.
Our first class of veteran interns included people who have traumatic brain injuries from improvised explosive devices and other physical disabilities. Some disclosed having low-level post-traumatic stress disorder. This is unsurprising: 25% of vets from the post-9/11 era are disabled, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Yet the disabilities have not been a factor in the performance of our interns.
The interns themselves tell us that the program means a great deal to them. Many have experienced being turned down repeatedly for positions because their formal education didn't match the rigid "check-the-box" approach of most companies, and they had no private-sector experience to offer. There is rarely a place on an application to talk about managing millions of dollars of equipment and dozens of people—or making crucial judgments under the pressure of conditions never experienced in the civilian workplace. These experiences matter to our company.
The most touching story we've heard came from a vet who came home from deployment in Afghanistan and was discharged last Christmas. She had never looked for a job and had no idea where to start. The Army was her career. She was, she said, at the end of her rope when the TiVo internship opportunity came along. Now her confidence is back and she knows how to talk the talk of Silicon Valley—she's not speaking "military" anymore.
America has asked many men and women to protect the country while making huge sacrifices along the way. But when their military careers wrap up, they are often not trained adequately to change careers, and too few companies are making use of the tremendous life skills developed during combat tours.
We didn't know what to expect from this program, so it is easy to say that it exceeded expectations. As our first class nears completion, we intend to maintain this program and certainly hope other companies will try their own versions. The veteran-intern program has done far more for both the veterans and TiVo than we ever expected.

Thank TiVo. Having transitioned to civilian life from the military, I have seen similar things you described. If fact, I've even had a few business employees think most military vets are dumb "grunts," no matter what service you've been in. However, my last position I heard that even though I was hired, because of all of my experience they did not know what to do with me.
So good for TiVo for taking the steps to do right. Hoorah!!
You're on my short list to tell vets to visit.

Facing Reality
It's been a while since I've posted here. Rather than bemoan my sporadic writing and promise to do better, I'm going be honest with myself and admit that I'm just not that into it. Blogging is great for longer stories than Facebook or Instagram, but it's not as immediate or accessible. And to be truthful, I don't have longer stories these days. I don't think that I actually need a blog anymore.
When I started working part time at The Pine Needle Quilt Shop it was a job that I figured I'd be good at, it would be convenient, and if I practiced self restraint it could help pay for the home improvement projects I wanted to do. Being part time, I could still work on my studio practice, and hopefully even learn to utilize my time better and become a better artist. In the last year and a half I have come to the realization that I get so much more satisfaction working at the quilt shop than I do trying to make connections with my art. Every day, I am utilizing my love of color, my 20+ years of sewing and quilting experience, and my enthusiasm for the craft.
Back on the artistic front, I realize that I just don't have the drive to do the marketing and proposal writing that it takes to promote one's work. Sure, some people can put their craft or their artwork on social media and it will practically sell itself, but that's work that is demonstrably brilliant, or scratches the right itch at the right time. Merely adequate work like mine requires far more effort to get out into the world, and I've come to the realization that I'm just not hungry enough to work that hard. A week or two ago, I made a "who wore it better" list, comparing three of my favorite art quilts with similarly themed but more widely recognized quilts. Some I'm not too proud to say are better executed than my ideas. Others have something magical that I just don't have. Earlier in the month I had several instances where I felt passed over or ignored and it drove home the feeling that my artwork is good, but not great, and just doesn't connect outside my small circle of friends and peers. When I've felt this previously, I've told myself to just get off the pot and do the work, but with a "real" job that gives me such satisfaction, I figure I should go where the joy (or at least competence) is.
Of course, makers gonna make, and I'm going to create things when the urge hits. But, I'm not going to worry about getting them exhibited, or if my bouncing back and forth between more traditional quilts and mixed media textile art is confusing to potential followers. It's OK for me to be a hobbyist and I realize my limitations. I don't need to try to be a studio artist. So, I'll post stuff on Facebook and Instagram because they're convenient and it's fun to share what I'm working on, but I'm letting go of the idea that I should be any sort of serious artist. This website and blog will remain as a journal I can refer to, and maybe I'll occasionally add new works if it seems appropriate. But I can safely say I'm done with regular posting and trying to provide interesting content to grow followers.

I actually bought this by accident (no, really). I had some unexpected holiday pay and I remembered that there was a nude from the Nice collection that I really liked...which as it turned out was Topless and Barefoot, but luckily I really like this too.
I have quite a lot of warm greys (like Waking Up in Vegas which I LOVE and must post soon) and this is in the same family, but it's more yellow than grey. I love those kind of colours. They're so flattering and chic.

Serious Beer: Tasting North American Stouts
Seeking out the best in malty, hoppy refreshment.
It all started with Oktoberfest. After the Märzenbier, the zesty autumn rye beers, and brews made at hop-harvest time, the weather got colder, and the beers here at Serious Beer HQ got darker. We tried deep, brooding Belgian dubbels, brown ales and a sleighful of winter warmers. It snowed and sleeted, and the groundhog saw his shadow, but we stocked up with dark beers to last us through the dark days.
We've arrived at the darkest of them. Over the next few weeks, we'll taste stouts and Imperial stouts, starting on the low-alcohol end and finishing up with the richest, roastiest, strongest we can find.
Some stouts are dry, with roasted coffee or nut flavors and hints of unsweetened bitter chocolate. Some brewers add oatmeal to their stout to dry them out and boost body and complexity, while others include lactose sugars for a bit of creamy residual sweetness. This year, a few brewers are reviving the old style of the oyster stout—that's right, they throw bivalves (and their juices) into the brew kettle and boil away!
How do they taste? Find out in our stout roundup, after the jump. And don't worry, we've got stronger stouts still to come!
Serious Beer Ratings
***** Our new favorite **** Awesome, worth remembering *** We'd consider buying this again ** There are probably better options * No, thanks, I'll have water.
Ratings are subject to personal taste.
Our Favorite Stouts
Goose Island Oatmeal Stout Illinois, 5.1% ABV This beer's scent is rich and grainy, and the taste follows through. It's a big, mouth-filling beer, with dry chocolate flavors, a hint of brown sugar, graham crackers, hickory smoke, and dates. One taster was reminded of the toasted-oat taste of Cheerios. We're big fans—this is a drinkable, satisfying beer. ****1/2
St-Ambroise Oatmeal Stout Quebec, 5% ABV We couldn't leave this Canadian out of the roundup—it's just too tasty. This is a robustly flavored, very dry oatmeal stout with grainy, savory flavors and a roasted finish. We noted a hint of smoke and sesame; ;this would be great with barbecue or a hefty pastrami sandwich. Quite well balanced and drinkable. ****1/2
For Coffee Fanatics
Laurelwood Portland Roast Espresso Stout Oregon, 6% ABV Many coffee beers taste like stale or canned coffee, but this one, brewed with a blend of Ethiopian and Sumatran organic coffees has no stale flavors. It tastes like strong espresso beans, and reminded us of the intense coffee granitas we had in Rome. This beer is very smooth, with a fruity finish—there are hints of cherry and prune. Almost more coffee than beer, this stout would probably pair beautifully with a slice of cheesecake. ****
Oysters: Not Just for Eating Anymore
Flying Fish Exit 1 New Jersey, 7% ABV Don't be afraid of the oysters used to brew this beer—it doesn't taste fishy! Roasty, smooth, chocolaty, and creamy, this stout tastes more like sea air than sea water, and finishes with a hoppy tang. As you drink it, silky minerals wash over your tongue. We prefer this beer a little cooler than most stouts. ****
Hoppy Stouts
Three Floyds Black Sun Stout Indiana, 6.5% ABV If you tasted this beer blindfolded, you might not guess that it's dark—there's only a hint of roast character. Instead, we tasted caramel, papaya, pineapple, and grapefruit in this unconventional, refreshing, and delicious beer. ****1/2
Avery Out of Bounds Stout Colorado, 5.1% ABV This beer has a musty scent and a splash of pungent rosemary hops. Malty creamyness and caramel follow up—this isn't quite as darkly roasted a beer as some of the others. There's a bit of charred nutmeg flavor in the finish. While untraditional, the hoppiness mingles nicely with the roasty bitterness of the stout. If you're a hophead, or you're bored with traditional stouts, give this one a try! ***1/2 or ****, if you're hopcrazy
Sierra Nevada Stout California 5.8% ABV This drinkable, approachable stout lacks the hefty roast and smoky notes of some, but has nice toasted malt and a serious squeeze of grapefruity hops. If you're a dark beer newbie but you like IPAs, this could be a great stout to start off your explorations. ***1/2
Milk Stouts
Left Hand Milk Stout Colorado, 5.2% ABV We smelled cocoa and hazelnut on the nose of this beer. It's rich and quite filling, with a nice roast character and a hint of black coffee. Up front, it's smooth and creamy, though the finish is slightly bitter. This beer would be great with roasted almonds or dark chocolate. ***3/4
Ska Brewing Steel Toe Stout Colorado, 5.4% ABV This tasty beer has a hint of milky sweetness balanced with caramely malt, hops, and roasted-chocolate flavor. It's well integrated and quite drinkable, though we found it tasted a little sour as it warmed up, so we'd recommend serving it a little cooler that you might serve other stouts. ***3/4
Keegan Ales Mother's Milk New York This has that milky cocoa-pebbles flavor that's common in milk stouts, with a hint of sourness. It's not bad, but not our favorite of the style—a little thin in the mouth. ***
A Few More Sippable Stouts
Sebago Lake Trout Stout Maine, 5.8% ABV This beer tastes like chocolate milk and cocoa nibs, with a piney bitterness and crisp finish. It's quite drinkable, and has nice dark roast flavors. ***1/2
Rogue Shakespeare Stout Oregon, 6% ABV This slick stout tastes a little like almond butter, with coffee notes and hints of herbal hops. We were reminded of sage and thyme. It's best to serve this just under room temperature—it mellows out as it warms. ***1/2
North Coast Old Plowshare Stout California, 5.7% ABV Coffee, chocolate, and raspberry come through in the nose of this beer. It's medium-to-full bodied, with a chocolaty hint of sweetness. The taste reminded a few people of chocolate malted milkshakes, perhaps spiked with a bit of bourbon and caramel. ***1/2
Deschutes Obsidian Stout Oregon, 6.3% ABV This full bodied stout leaves a smoky taste in your mouth—the finish reminded some tasters of marshmallows charred over a campfire. This beer is creamy and nutty, with robust roast and a hint of sour rye bread. ***1/2
Breckenridge Oatmeal Stout Colorado, 4.95% ABV With robust boozy flavors, oaky bourbon notes, and a focused flavor, this is a pretty intense beer. We tasted cocoa powder, cinnamon, and soy sauce, with dark coffee roast in the finish. ***1/2
Mad River Steelhead Extra Stout California, 6% ABV This concentrated, roasty beer pours quite opaque. It tastes much stronger than it is—this is not a mellow beer. We tasted raspberry and dark rum, fruity hops, and a bit of an ashy finish. Not sure we could finish a whole bottle of this, but if you're looking for a big beer, you might love this. ***
Wolaver's Oatmeal Stout Vermont, 5.9% ABV This stout isn't as creamy or full-bodied as some of the others, and it lacks the complexity of the better examples of this style. We detected straw on the nose, and tasted toasted sourdough, soy sauce, and clove cigarettes. Not our favorite of Wolaver's offerings. **3/4
Locals Only
East Coast:
Bluepoint Oatmeal Stout is only available on tap (I nabbed a growler at my local Whole Foods) but it's worth tracking down. Mellow and creamy, with a thick mouthfeel and a bit of hops, it's a drinkable stout that'll stick to your ribs. Oatmeal lovers will recognize their favorite grain in the finish.
West Coast: We had a chance to taste the Oyster Stout from Upright Brewing before it was even bottled, and it's a treat: silky smooth, with nice body and a hint of calcium. If you're in the Portland area, make a point of checking out this fantastic small brewery.
Disclosure: The Goose Island, Laurelwood, Flying Fish, Three Floyds, Ska, Sebago, Deschutes, Breckenridge, and Wolavers were review samples.

April 05, 2005
LOS ANGELES —The CFA Institute Financial Analysts Journal announced that Richard Roll, Japan Alumni Chair in International Finance, has received the prestigious Graham and Dodd Award for his article "Empirical TIPS." This is the third time Roll has won a Graham and Dodd Award. In 1984, he won for "The Arbitrage Pricing Theory Approach to Strategic Portfolio Planning," and again in 1988 for "The International Crash of October 1987."
Awarded by the FAJ's advisory council and editorial board, the Graham and Dodd Award for excellence in research and financial writing is the publication's highest honor. The FAJ is published by CFA Institute, the worldwide association of more than 70,000 financial securities analysts and investment managers. The article, published in the January-February 2004 issue, describes how investor portfolios can be improved by the addition of U.S. Treasury Inflation-Indexed Securities, or TIPS. It investigates the correlations of TIPS returns with the returns on nominal bonds and with equity returns, TIPS real and effective nominal durations and changes in the volatility of TIPS over time. The analysis is also used to derive near-term and long-term inflation expectations of investors.
The Graham and Dodd Award, created in 1960 to honor Benjamin Graham's and David L. Dodd's enduring contributions to the field of investment analysis, is presented each year to the author or authors of the most outstanding article published in the Financial Analysts Journal that year. Past recipients have included such industry leaders as Peter L. Bernstein, William F. Sharpe, Fischer Black and Charles D. Ellis. In 2004, Clifford S. Asness, managing principle with AQR Capital Management in New York, received this prestigious recognition for his article "Surprise! Higher Dividends = Higher Earnings Growth."
The 60-year-old Financial Analysts Journal is published six times a year. Its purpose is to advance the knowledge and understanding of the practice of investment management through the publication of high-quality, practitioner-relevant research. To celebrate its 60th anniversary, each issue of the FAJ contains special "reflections" pieces written by specially invited authors such as Abby Joseph Cohen, CFA, John C. Bogle and Gary P. Brinson, CFA. These articles will be compiled into a hard-bound anthology at the end of 2005.
