"Peak Condition," Megalomaniac Pastry is Plotting to Take Over The World? Laughter Ensues.
I love it when my pastries get totally delusional on me. Watch this toast's teeny furry friend assist him in his plot to eliminate the unenlightened reign of the complacent Pistachio Nut Shelling public. (Which may be us) I'm not fully certain…but I have the odd feeling that the people reading this blog may be on the side of The Toast.

Baal's Cedar: Natib Qadish, Canaanite Religion
Natib Qadish, a polytheistic religion which reveres the Canaanite deities, is based on ancient culture and the cuneiform texts found at the city of Ugarit. The Canaanites lived 3200 years ago in the areas of Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Palestine.
I share articles and commentary rooted in polytheistic, Near Eastern, Levantine, Middle Eastern, Anatolian, and Natib Qadish perspectives. I teach about the deities, festivals, cultures, divination, magic, divination, and beliefs.
The Man Who Wailed at the Sea
There once was old Ummu Amtumi whose wise thoughts just outnumbered the many creases in her weathered face. It was said that she was born with words already written on her tongue. On a bright day she hobbled off to the grocers to pick up bread and honey and apples when she saw a young boy crying.
You see, he held a perfect ice cream cone but the ice cream had splattered onto the sidewalk. He cried and cried. Old Ummu Amtumi could not stand to see a little one weep so—such a gentle lady was she—so she hobbled to the little boy.
The boy tried to scoop up the melting remains in his round fingers.
Said Ummu Amtumi to the boy: "There, there, yaldu, that won't do. You mustn't eat that."
"Why not, Ummu Amtumi?" Everyone knew Ummu Amtumi in that town, even the little boy.
"You'll make yourself sick. See, it already has someone else's old chewing gum on it and a piece of trash."
"But I want my ice cream Ummu. I want it. It's mine."
"It may have been yours, but it belongs to the ground now. Here. Let's share my apple." She often shared what wealth she could even though she was poor; may we all be so generous.
"I don't want your apple. I want my ice cream."
"Here now, yaldu, it does no good to cry." She reached into her flaking black handbag and pulled out a clean, wrinkled handkerchief scented with mint and sweet old perfume to wipe the poor boy's muddy tears. "This reminds me of a story. Would you like to hear it? Good." She sat the boy next to her on the brick retaining wall in front of the store.
And old Ummu Amtumi began her tale.
Let me tell you, the Deities were everywhere back then. And then there was Yatnu. Yatnu was a rich man with a fine stout coat that had buttons which glimmered like the sun. He had a wide belly and ate the finest foods like caviar and expensive cheese. He had a good son and a good daughter, and the kindest of wives. His father lived with them in their fine house by the sea. Oh it was such a grand house, with an en suite spa bathroom, a room for each of the children and the grandfather, hardwood floors, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Everything new. Everything the best. Everything shining.
You see, the man was deeply worried all the time. Nothing was ever good enough. He would go to work at his investment firm every day and he would be surrounded by people who had things and people who had money, and people who thought too much of people who had things and had money. He felt like he was less than them because they had so much more. Every time he would buy the newest phone or the newest computer he could find, and one of his clients would tell him that it was already old and look, here's the newest one instead. They didn't laugh at the man. Who knows whether they meant to poke fun of him or not, but he felt that way.
The deities had blessed Yatnu aplenty but he could not see it. Said he to the deities that he believed didn't exist, "I don't believe in you. If you were real, you would make me happy." He felt a hole of sadness in his liver. The hole ate away at him and he had to fill the hole. Poor Yatnu couldn't see past his own nose.
Here is what he did see: he saw that his furniture was out of style, so he got rid of it and bought new tables and chairs.
His wife said: "Yatnu, why did you buy new furniture? The other chairs and tables are still good. There are no scratches on them."
He said to her: "They are not good. Others who come to our house will think our furniture is old and shabby and that we have no class."
His father said: "It may look nice, but it is no good for old bones. I can't get comfortable."
His son and daughter said nothing, but agreed with their grandfather since the furniture was not easy on young growing bones, either.
Yatnu installed a small home theater with velvet-clad folding seats and a flat screen plasma tv and special low lighting.
His wife said: "I won't be able to knit while I watch a movie."
His father said: "I don't know what to do with all of these remote controls when I want to watch my western."
His son and daughter said nothing, but weren't happy because they couldn't play quietly during a movie: there was no room for it.
Yatnu bought specially tailored new clothes, maybe hoping to hide the ugliness he felt beneath a shining veneer.
His wife said: "But you are always handsome to me."
His father said: "I wish I were your age again, so young and strong."
His son and daughter said nothing, but knew that he wouldn't go play outside with them in those clothes: they'd get muddy or grass-stained.
None of the changes made Yatnu any happier.
Good. Such as it was with Yatnu, and such it continued for a long time, until one season when the tides had gotten steadily higher.
Higher one day. (Ummu Amtumi put her hands to her knees.)
Higher the next day. (Ummu Amtumi put her hands to her ample belly.)
Yatnu would go out on his porch and look at the sea, and he would scratch his head. He would roll his fine pantlegs up, take off his leather shoes and walk along the beach. He would look at the sea and he would scratch his head.
His wife saw the tides rising, and she found a little cottage on the hill. The son and daughter were older and stronger by then and they helped moved some of the family's treasures into the little cottage. It was a tough place to live when one had become accustomed to the good life. But the good family had determined to bear up and refused to complain. The son and daughter had to share a room with the grandfather. There was one bathroom. The toilet would sometimes stop up. The appliances in the kitchen were old and scratched, but they worked well enough. The cabinets were ugly. The countertop was out-of-style formica. The television was so old that it was analog and no longer worked with the new digital settings. They left their flatscreen behind because it was too complicated to disconnect from the speakers, the DVD, the gaming station, and all. The new furniture was too big for the cottage, so they made do with folding chairs, beanbag chairs, and card tables. But it had a fire place, and it had a good view of the sea, and it had cheerful neighbors, and it had a pretty little flower garden. And best of all, it had love.
Where was Yatnu when all of this moving and rearranging occurred? He was there on the shore, staring at the sea and scratching his head.
And then the worst news imaginable came on the little radio in the cottage as the wife prepared a casserole, and the kids did their homework at the kitchen table, and the grandfather worked his crossword puzzle. A hurricane was coming. She raised her hands to the flaking ceiling and she praised Mother Athirat for giving her the wisdom and the strength to move her family from the fine house on the sea. She prayed that Baʻal Hadad see fit to spare them all from disaster. And she prayed that 'Athtart would help her husband come to his senses and get in out of the rain. She looked out past the bright red kitchen window curtains to the beach beyond and saw her husband.
He had stopped scratching his head. He wept now. He wailed, even. His fierce, hot tears mingled with the cold rain and salt water. He raised his fist against Yammu, the sea god, and he said: "Roll back, O Yammu, roll back or I will make Ilu, god who has created both you and me, roll you back!" (Such futile pride!)
He grabbed handfuls of water and tried to throw it back to sea. (Ummu Amtumi made a throwing motion with her hand.)
He grabbed handfuls of seafoam and tried to throw it back. (Ummu Amtumi made her throwing motion again, and nearly toppled off the low brick wall.)
But who can grab the sea? Who can grasp water tightly? No one, not even Yatnu. Water will only cling in droplets to your skin and slip through your fingers the tighter you hold them. (Ummu Amtumi opened her hand to show she held nothing.)
Yatnu dug up to his elbows in the sand, desperately trying to build a retaining wall as the crisp waves cascaded ever closer to his fine house. He yelled up to his family in the cottage, demanding their help, but no mother worth her milk would send her children to Yatnu's useless war against the sea. Why her children would both drown, and all would be lost! Her son and daughter would become zhiluma, hungry shade-ghosts to roam the earth, unhappy and wreaking havoc.
Good. So Yatnu had no strength against the raging sea. You see, Yammu the sea god had heard all he could of this prideful man's moanings. Here the deities had blessed the man more than most people and yet he ignored each and every blessing, right down to his healthy children, his kind wife, and his wise father. Well Yammu had enough of that, so he decided he would push the man's fine house into the sea. Yammu the sea god didn't care whether or not Yatnu would ever realize how blessed he was. Enough was enough. A saltwater surge rushed against the house and pulled it into the dark, churning waves. (May you not see such misfortune!) He tried to collect remains of the house, but it grew dangerous.
"Like you, little yaldu, and how you tried to pick up your ice cream from the sidewalk, that was how Yatnu was with his house." Said Umma Amtumi.
Said the boy: "But Umma Amtumi it's not the same at all!"
Said Ummu Amtumi: "Will the sidewalk give you back your melted ice cream?"
Said the boy: "No. Of course not."
Said Ummu Amtumi: "Neither will the sea give back poor Yatnu's fine house. It is gone. But you will see, for there are other blessings that Yatnu overlooked. And so the same with you."
Ummu Amtumi reached in the reused brown paper grocery bag and gathered her apple and her honey, and she reached into her purse and found a paring knife for the apple. (She was quite resourceful!) She pared and sliced the apple as she continued her story.
Now don't you say anything. Yatnu had gotten to the safety of a large boulder, but he would not be safe for long. If he didn't find shelter, he would join the splinters of his house.
His family called and called.
"Don't you love me?" The father asked.
"Don't you want to get warm by the fire we made for you?" The son and daughter asked.
"Don't you still want me as I want you?" The wife asked.
The proud man decided he had better do something fast. Either he would throw himself upon the waves or swallow his pride and go live in that little hovel (for a hovel is what he thought it was). Although to him swallowing his pride was like eating a swarm of locusts, he was not ready yet to die. He climbed, and slid, and climbed, and slid, and climbed some more. His family threw out a rope and they all held on to the other end. He climbed and finally made it to the little cottage on the hill. Yatnu's family wrapped him in a warm, dry blanket and brought him to sit by the fire.
It was then that he first felt it—that warmth you feel when you are grateful. He realized that the hole he felt his liver was something that he himself had made. He had family, he had a dry roof over his head, and he was surrounded with goodness. He understood now and he felt sad for the clients at the investment firm who would never know where true wealth lay. After the storm abated the family invited their new neighbors over; they helped put the flower garden back to rights, and they brought over tables and chairs and food. The neighborhood had a great feast, but no one is greater than the god Ilu. They feasted on butter, and honey, and meat, and all sorts of good foods, they ate and they drank, and they lived.
Ummu Amtumi said to the boy: "So. Are you going to stop wailing at the sidewalk like Yatnu to the sea?"
The boy, a bit sheepish, said: "Yes, Ummu Amtumi."
"Would you like a bite of my apple?"
The boy sighed, "Ok."
Ummu Amtumi poured a little honey on the apple slice. The boy asked "Ummi, what are you doing?"
"It is the new year. Apples and honey mean our year will be sweet."
"But I didn't know you had honey. I like honey lots. You didn't tell me there was honey and I like honey as much as I like ice cream."
Ummu Amtumi knew that the boy in losing one blessing had also learned he was surrounded by even more.
And the tale floats on the rivers. And you, my friends, are cheerful givers. Seven apples appeared, you my reader ate one and another woman ate one, and yet another ate one, and maybe your friends will take what is left.
Author's Note:
I wrote this tale using techniques and occasional stock phrases found in Moroccan Jewish folktales: there are formulaic phrases that are just as necessary as "once upon a time" and "they lived happily ever after" are to Western folktales. The tales are told in with simple language, repetition, and a conversational tone, often having one tale within another. The story should be easy enough to remember, retell, and embellish or change, and it should be a good story for any age from three to one hundred and three.
"Yaldu" means "boy" in Ugaritic. In Ummu Amtumi's name, the word "ummu" means mother, and Amtumi is an actual Canaanite feminine name which means "handmaid." "Ummi" means "my mother" in Ugaritic. Yatnu is an actual Canaanite masculine name and it means "gift."
I included the apples and honey in honor of the new year, for both our Natib Qadish religion and for Judaism, in hopes that your year ahead (and mine!) shall be filled with sweetness and that we may always taste the sweet above the bitter. To learn more about our new year fruit harvest holiday, 'Ashuru Mothbati, please visit 'Ashuru Mothbati: Festival of Dwellings & Canaanite New Year.
Today is:
28 Shalamu (month), Shanatu 84 (year)
This date reflects a date in the Canaanite calendar according to Ugaritic texts from 1200 BCE. All we have left of this intercalary month's name is "sh". In the reconstructed calendar, we call this month "Shalamu" which means "peace" and "peace offering." It is the 28th day from the new moon, and tomorrow is the new moon. Our next holiday starts tonight. It falls on the new moon before autumnal equinox, and that holiday is 'Ashuru Mathbati, also spelled 'Ashuru Mothbati, the Festival of Dwellings, which begins tonight and goes through tomorrow night, September 15, 2012 of the secular calendar this year.

Monarca Hoteles Las Condes内有餐厅。
The national sales tax (19%) is charged upon check-out to all Chilean citizens and foreigners staying 59 consecutive days or more. In case the room is shared by both a taxable and a non-taxable guest at the same time, the sales tax will be applied to the whole room.
"Good for the promotional price"
The only inconvenient was that it was described as a hotel but it is, indeed, a Flat (Apart Hotel). No reception or lobby. Breakfast, which is included, is left in the room every evening. It was nice, but disappointing when we arrived. Just be advised it is not a hotel. Nice location and view.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Comfortable & Conviently Located"
The room I stayed in had a fully stocked kitchen (even including a wine cabinet), living room (though rather spartan), and bedroom with master bath, plus a balcony. A large supermarket that met my America standards for quality and cleanliness is located right across the plaza. A subway and bus hub are located 2 blocks away, making it easy to take full […] advantage of inexpensive transportation options. This is also a very safe neighborhood, with many young professionals running in the evening. Avoid the breakfast option, which consists of bread, processed jams, and cereal brought to your room the day before. Easier and better to get fresh bread at the mini-market within the building. Personal mail boxes are available for long-term visitors. Pool is tiny and requires use of a bathing cap, available at the front desk, which I think is a little gross. I'm looking forward to me next visit there. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

Very satisfied during my stay at Monarca, once you know beforehand were to go and the process of check-in, which I got from previous reviews! Clean and confortable studio room with wifi and independent telephone. Very independent for the traveller, good room service, close by you have restaurants, laundry, food store and the metrostation. If you need […] shopping, then Parque Arauco is 7 minutes away in taxi ($5.00each way) For sure will repeat the stay at Monarca in the future! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
The hotel is hard to find as it is inside a building with no external signs. Very near to the subway and with restaurants in the building, it is in a good location. Clean rooms, functional kitchen and comfortable bed. Service was extremely limited - this is more an apartment rental than a hotel but a good base if it is what you are looking for and want […] to be in Las Condes. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"It's not exactly a hotel"
I searched for a hotel for an overnight stay for a connecting flight. Te hotel looked attractive on the description but on arrival it is not a hotel. It is an apartment renting.

"Interesting concept, not well executed."
This is not a traditional hotel. It is a Studio/1 bedroom furnished apartment with a view of the city. That is where the niceness of the concept ends. Here are the cons: 1. The Hotels.com ad said Buffet Breakfast, but all I got was a choice of 2 cereals, 2 slices of bread, glass of orange juice and a glass of milk each morning. This was dropped off […] in the afternoon the day prior. 2. Was in the hotel for 6 nights and the towels were changed twice after I complained 3 times and the room was vacuumed once after I complained 3 times. 3. No room service. Also the carpet was absolutely atrocious. Very very dirty. Looks to have never been cleaned. Like I said, good concept, poorly executed. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Great apartment hotel"
This is my first time staying in an apartment hotel and I was very pleased. The rooms were gorgeous, with expensive and classy furniture. Great view of the surrounding area. There was a breakfast of fruit, toast, and cereal left in the room with milk and orange juice in the fridge, which is restocked daily. There is an entire kitchen with microwave, […] oven, stove-top, toaster, and lots of extra room in the fridge. Never had a problem with the complimentary wireless internet. However, anyone booking this hotel should realize this is a small-time business and will not have all the amenities that one would expect from a large hotel. There is no hotel staff on site from about 10pm-8am, so if you're looking to check in late or check out early, you will want to notify them ahead of time and arrange something. The receptionists did not all know English and there was only 1 available at a time. It is also tough to locate this hotel since it is in an unlabeled apartment building. None of the taxis know where it is, so you'll need to have the address ready. Security at the apartment will also want to know why you're there, and don't speak English. All I had to do was tell them the hotel name and they let me in. Once I was inside I had to wait about 5 minutes for my receptionist to greet me with my booking materials. I only have a few minor complaints about the hotel. The maid was overly persistent in wanting to clean my room, when all I wanted was some privacy. I was not supplied with a do-not-disturb sign, and she didn't understand English so I couldn't get her to leave me alone. She would also knock only about 3 seconds before opening my door. After I complained, I was not bothered anymore. Business travelers should be aware that there is no desk, so it can be rather uncomfortable to do work. For some reason the water takes a very long time to warm up. Despite these issues, I was very impressed with the hotel for the price I was given. This apartment is ideal for trips whi 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Great place for longer stay, not for a 1 nighter"
perhaps my mistake but, it is not a hotel. it is an "apart hotel" VERY NICE, small, one bedroom apartment. about 100 meters from the Metro/Subway station. very convenient for transportation. arriving by taxi a little ticky to get off but OK. Breakfast was left for me to prepare toasts, some fruit on the counter, a glass of juice in the fridge, etc. […] Instant coffee and creamers to get you going in the morning. I would say great to spent a few days; you can order food in, bring some in and warm it up or cook somethin if you want to go that lenght. No coffee shop or restaurant that I found in the building (I didn't look very hard). At the metro station there are a number of local coffee shops and fast food places. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Great location on the intersection of Americo Vespucio Ave. and Apoquindo Ave. with metro nearby"
This hotel really needs to have clear Monarca identity on the outside of building and ideally a small but visible reception area on the ground floor separate from the building concierge desk. A Monarca representative can then give a more personalised check-in service briefing hotel guests on how the aparthotel system operates. My sole complaint other […] than the above comments was a problem with the telephone system even for making simple local calls and absence of an Internet service in the building. I found other solutions to my communication needs outside the hotel and very close by. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

(Download a Sponsorship Pledge Form)
Luna and Lunar Eclipse, at home on the Kuntz Ranch in Linton, ND
By becoming a sponsor, you establish a personal relationship with the Nokota® Horse Conservancy through a particular foal, yearling, mare, stallion, or band that resides on the Kuntz Ranch near Linton, ND. With your pledge, you can ensure that the horse(s) you sponsor will be fed and cared for for the period of one year. In return, you will receive a glossy photo and brief bio of your new charge ... along with the satisfaction of knowing that you are participating directly in his, or her, care.
- We have a number of annual sponsorships available:
- Foal Sponsorships that help feed and care for one foal (filly or stud colt).
- Young Horse Sponsorships that help feed and care for one yearling.
- Mare Sponsorships that help feed and care for one mare.
- Stallion Sponsorships that help feed and care for one stallion.
- Band Sponsorships that help feed stallions, mares & foals.
Sponsorships make meaningful memorials, or gifts for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, or for any horse lover on any special occasion. You may wish to sponsor a horse for yourself, as a gift for someone special, or in the name of a loved one. Please know that all donations are tax-deductible and go directly to the care of the horses.
Helping Nokota® Horses
Your sponsorship participation is key to ensuring the survival of the Nokota® horses into the next generation and beyond. And while actual feeding costs are approximately $1 per day per horse, your generous donation goes a very long way in protecting and feeding these unique and historically important horses. The care and maintenance of these horses is our utmost concern, and your sponsorship contribution makes all the difference in the world.
In order to continue this valuable work, we need your help! Please consider sponsoring a Nokota® horse and preserving a unique history and a bright future.

Risk of Lymphedema with TAH/BSO & Lymphadenectomy |
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts," What is the risk of lymphedema following a complete lymphadenectomy accompanying TAH BSO? How well documented, prospectively, is the occurrence of lymphedema in this patient population? Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds: The incidence of lymphedema following pelvic lymph node sampling and hysterectomy for treatment of endometrial cancer varies from about 2% to 11%, according to retrospective studies. The incidence likely varies depending on how much lymphatic tissue was removed. See this previous question about lower extremity lymphedema. |

IV Clomipramine for Refractory OCD
Brian A. Fallon, MD
Other Investigators
Michael Liebowitz
Contact Email
Brief Abstract
We have previously shown that IV Clomipramine is effective against IV placebo for patients with a history of poor response to oral clomipramine. To directly test the utility of IV clomipramine, we now are conducting a direct comparison of 2 weeks of IV clomipramine against 2 weeks of IV placebo in a double-blind design followed by 8 weeks of oral clomipramine. This direct comparison will test whether IV CMI is more effective in OCD and also test whether IV CMI results in faster rate of resolution of symptoms.
Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria
Inclusion: 1. Age 18-55 2. Past treatment with good doses of at least 2 OCD meds 3. Persistent problems with OCD despite prior treatment. Exclusion: 1. Bipolar Disorder or Schizophrenia 2. Inability to tolerate 2 wk drug washout 3. Prior brain surgery

We had a tremendous windstorm come through last night. I could not sleep for all the tea in China. So I doodled.

Dear Members:
During the month of April, Lobbyit.com received updates from the House Aviation Subcommittee as well as meet with AAAE to discuss possibilities regarding SIDA Badges.
Legislation currently tracked by Lobbyit:
H.R.1765 - Reducing Flight Delays Act of 2013 H.R. 1765 was introduced on April 26, 2013 and was signed by the President on May 1. The Reducing Flight Delays Act prevented the crippling effects of furloughing air traffic controllers, which would have been made necessary due to sequestration cuts. The bill accomplishes this by allowing the Secretary of Transportation to transfer $253 million from the FAA's Airport Improvement Program account to the FAA's Operations account, thus preventing diminished operations and staffing at the FAA for the remainder of fiscal year 2013. The bill requires the Secretary to notify the House and Senate appropriations Committee prior to the transfer.
Stakeholder Meetings
The following stakeholder meetings were taken by Lobbyit.com on behalf of AMFA:


text: I think I've found what I'm asking for this Christmas!! Dragon Age: Origins! A role playing game. Has anyone played it? I've been reading about it and watching some videos online for the past hour and it looks and sounds really, really good. Good storyline and you get to make choices like in Mass Effect and The Elder Scrolls/Fallout 3. Also, I've heard that it has romances too. And, get this, you can have gay and lesbian romances!! That pretty much sealed the deal for me. Eeee!! I'm actually really excited to play it.

Orcs Must Die! is the first release from an independent developer named Robot Entertainment. Fans of the classic real-time strategy series Age of Empires may have heard that name before, as the outfit is comprised of many veterans from Ensemble Studios, which was shut down by Microsoft back in 2009 after they shipped Halo Wars for Xbox 360 and started development on Age of Empires Online. The latter is a free-to-play MMO reboot of the franchise that was just recently launched with Chris Taylor and Gas Powered Games at the helm.
OMD! primarily involves the placement of traps, minions, and other devices at your disposal in order to stop the enemy from reaching their destination, in this case a portal that leads from their world to yours. Each enemy that gets past you counts against your total number of Rift points (AKA lives, in TD lingo), and if that counter reaches zero, you lose. After beginning each encounter with a small pool of currency to be used for setting up your initial defenses, you gain rewards for all the orcs, ogres, gnolls, and other baddies that you kill. That money is spent on further fortifications to deal with increasing numbers of enemies in subsequent waves and so on, until you survive the final onslaught and achieve victory.

Bachelorettte Jillian Harris Chooses Ed Swiderski
I guess it's true what they say; the man with the most chest hair wins. I've always had a thing for Ed's nerdiness, his tank tops, and those super short swim trunks. And I guess Jillian Harris did too because that's who she ended up with during the finale of The Bachelorette. Kiptyn Locke invited her to move to San Diego. Reid Rosenthal came back, shirt untucked, rushing out of a mini van taxi, trying to win her back. But neither man had the qualities Ed possesses.
This was a huge upset according to The House of Bachelorette poll asking you who Jillian should pick in the finale. Ed had just 18.42% of the popular vote, compared to Reid's whopping 48.68%. Kiptyn ended up with 32.89% of the votes.
But now an even more important question– will Jillian become Mrs. Ed Swiderski? Take our new poll:

10 Reasons You're Not Building Muscle
Building muscle and packing on the pounds isn't just about "picking things up and putting them down." What's holding you back?
To put on size, you can't eat salads all day. You need to have a slight calorie surplus to support muscle growth. This includes all energy expended from physical activity and internal processes. As mentioned earlier, eat whole fresh foods. Put time into planning your meals so you don't have to resort to eating junk. Avoid sugary drinks and all fast food. Try to eat organic meats and drink organic milk. Eat healthy fats such as avocados and coconut oil. If you're inclined, diets such as the "Paleo Diet" or "Perfect Health Diet" work really well for putting on size while staying lean. Ensure your growing body receives the nutrients and building blocks it needs and remember that eating junk equals junk results.
Half or quarter reps are commonly seen in the gym. Don't be that guy. Half reps are going to get you half-assed results. Learn how to perform the full range of motion for each exercise. Leave your ego at the door because the weight you'll use will be less. In the long run, you'll maximize your gains when progressing full range of motion exercises with lighter weights than you would when using heavy weights for half reps. Half and quarter reps have their place though – they are great when used as assistance exercises to the main lifts, but only when the main lifts can be performed with full range of motion.
Curls, front raises, lateral raises, and calf raises are all good exercises but are normally performed at the wrong time. Focus on big compound lifts at the beginning of your workouts while you're fresh and not fatigued. Exercises such as deadlifts, squats, cleans, presses and/or pulls should make up the first half of your workout. Save the isolation exercises for the last half.
Spending hours in the gym isn't going to do you any favors. Related to the "you need to chill out" tip, doing too much in the gym will result in a tougher time recovering between workouts while adding to your already high levels of stress. Beginners can get plenty of work in a 45-min to 60-min workout, if the proper breaks are taken between sets and if they're not checking their Facebook. Too many sets and hours in the gym can result in diminishing returns. Go to the gym, get focused, do the work and go home.
Drop-sets involve sub-maximal weights performed to failure over several mini-sets. Arnold referred to this type of training as training for "the pump." For example, grab a weight you can curl for 8-10 reps. Following that set, grab another pair of dumbbells 10lbs lighter and immediately perform reps to failure. Perform this drop for one more set. Take a minute break and do it again. Constant muscle tension created with these 3 mini-sets induces hypertrophic mechanisms within the muscle. Add in drop-sets to your isolation exercises to maximize your gains in size.

By Annie Georgia Greenberg, Photographed by Sunny Shokrae
What do you think about when you dance?
"It depends on what I'm performing. Sometimes I think about anatomical and technical precision — like where exactly every movement comes from, where precisely I should step, what exactly has to happen to make a movement work. Once that begins to feel solid or isn't enough to fill the choreography I think about the quality of movement. Like how will I raise my arm this time to make this movement as spectacular as it can be? Or maybe I need to become something or someone else. I play a lot of make-believe."
Of course there's some sort of X-factor, but do you think dance talent can be taught, too?
"This really depends on what kind of dancer or dance talent you are looking for. Of course technical prowess is important and for that you just have to work your ass off. Some dancers have it easier than others — they are born more flexible, with more turn out or beautiful feet. What I think makes a great dancer or performer is their complexity or the way they perform. I think the most intriguing performers have had to fight for something in their life. If life or dancing has always been easy, you can see it when they dance. I like to see a person rich with experience. So in that sense, talent can't really be taught. They dancer has to live it and create it and bring it to what they are doing."

Training Programs
A Comprehensive Approach to Fighting Infectious Disease
The past decade has witnessed an unprecedented global response to emerging infectious disease epidemics. Programs such as the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund) were created to rapidly scale up the response to such diseases and to mitigate the devastating effects that they were having on millions of people in Africa and elsewhere.
While these programs have been instrumental in quickly galvanizing resources to save lives, support for continued scale up has begun to shift due to the global economic crisis and many other factors. The challenge for the next decade will be achieving the long-term sustainability of program successes through strengthening health systems and creating greater efficiencies. Common in each of the new donor strategies, including the US Global Health Initiative, is the call for longer term vision, investment in research and science to guide programming, and greater emphasis on local ownership and country-led development.
In this global health landscape, innovative models, focused on smarter investments in health and driven by evidenced-based solutions, are needed to continue building upon the foundations laid over the past decade. Accordia Global Health Foundation, in collaboration with a diverse set of international partners, is at the forefront of developing innovative and cost-effective models for health systems strengthening in the African context.

There is more than just one Kayla Bourque from Prince George and while one is a convicted animal killer, the other is "totally the opposite," says her grandmother.
"She's a cat lover, she loves her family, she loves her friends," said Audrey Bourque of her granddaugher.
Both are 23 years old and both grew up in Prince George, but the similarities end there, Audrey said.
Her granddaughter lives in New Westminster and is about to attend Douglas College.
The other studied criminology and psychology at Simon Fraser University last year until another student told a teaching assistant that Bourque mentioned some of her crimes and that she may have spoken about her fantasies of killing a homeless person.
She was released from custody this week to live in Vancouver on a long list of conditions over concern she may act on violent impulses.
"It was kind of freaky, I feel so bad for my granddaughter," Audrey said.
The law-abiding Kayla Bourque could not be reached Wednesday, but did tell The Province newspaper they didn't attend any of the same schools and never met face-to-face.
"It's definitely frustrating," she said. "Her name is going to be everywhere and that means my name is going to be everywhere."

When I became a parent, my joy couldn't be contained. The love I felt for my children made my mother's lack of interest in me even more obvious. One thing was certain: I would make sure my kids knew they mattered.

And to young women who are starting out their careers with high hopes and big ambitions, I would say: absolutely ask for the promotion, get the raise, go out and build the start-up.
The first major difference between having an idea and a startup is how others react to you. You need customer feedback to understand if your product or service provides value in people's lives and what they like or don't like about your company.

This is what helped me achieve my dreams, and I still use these tips today to keep working on my dreams. It does take hard work, but trust me -- it does pay off.
In the current professional climate, it's easy to focus on "winning" in the job hunt game and forget that a new role should be a thoroughly evaluated stepping stone in your career. In short: it's easy to land the wrong job.
Today, I am working for Cisco Systems as a Network Consulting Engineer, using my knowledge of cyber security, my security clearance, and past experiences from the military all in one place. And it all began with taking the first step and signing up for a program that was there to assist a transitioning veteran such as myself.
The interest of the ruling elites has been powerfully popularized by the right's highly disciplined, focused narrative on the national debt and budget deficits. As a result, the great public concern about the lack of good jobs doesn't translate into support for government action -- or any action.
A funny thing happens when you lie to people: they tend to believe. Why shouldn't they? They lie to themselves all the time. Our minds are wired to respond in predictable ways-among them is perceiving the world the way we want to see it, not necessarily the way it is.

Birmingham's The Magic Math open their double EP The Magic Math Humbly Suggest Living Is A Miracle with an enticing blend of violin and acoustic guitar driven alt-country esque pop/rock. The rest of the songs that pour from the imaginations of Van Hollingsworth and company carry you on a whimsically pensive journey that leaves you completely satisfied at the end and ready to immediately give the record a few more spins.
Hollingsworth began playing guitar at the age of ten, but admitted that getting into songwriting itself was a gradual affair.
"I was writing riffs and pieces of music when I was around fourteen, but I didn't really get into putting whole songs together and stacking up a whole catalog of them until I was out of college in my mid-twenties," he said.
He attended school at Belmont University, where he first majored in musical composition. He dropped the major, but songwriting remained his passion. He continued to compose songs on guitar, but tried to build collaborative relationships with various singers. He soon decided he wanted to go solo to build the sound that he was looking for.
"I always thought I would get into something collaborative, where I would write, but I also would have a lead singer to do some of the stuff that I couldn't do really well. I got old enough to where I realized I needed to start releasing songs on my own or it wasn't going to happen. I used to not sing very much. I play guitar and wrote instrumental music, but then I added singing later. I always enjoyed singing, but I was too afraid to that in front of people. It still frightens me. Then I also got more into lyric writing. I guess that's what got me into writing stuff and putting a band together," he said.
Memorable lyrics run the gamut on the latest album, which includes song titles such as "Living Is A Miracle," "You Can't Wait" and "King of the Rock Scene." Though Hollingsworth is an accomplished guitarist and his most complicated progressions and structures come through on his instrumentals, he admits that he's still in his "pop song stage" of his career, which he believes is important to keeping the songs in the forefront of his listeners' minds.
"Catchy phrases in the lyrics is a way to not be boring, which is crucially important, I think. You want to cut through this mix of so much stuff. You gotta figure out what you want to say that's worth someone's time. That was part of the thing of growing as a songwriter," he said.
"I just had to get in touch with what works for a song, what part of the billions of thoughts that go through your mind, what are song type of thoughts and figure out how to organize them into good writing. When you're into songwriting, that's what you try to figure out," he continued.
According to Hollingsworth, the band's name dates back to the Paleolithic era and the ancient study of the rhythms and complexities of music.
"It is magical because studying it is very alchemical and it was unlocking this mystery to the complexities of human emotion. To learn how to be the master of music you have to learn how to be the master of a person's feelings. The whole spirit of a crowd of people in a room, which is a really powerful thing. Music is like this mysterious force and you can study it and there are certain rules, but it's not all rules. It's also powerful and mysterious and learning to control it is a magical math," he said.
2012 will see Hollingsworth venturing into new musical territory with each recording. He hopes to continue making music that pushes the boundaries.
"I want to have a different style each time. I can already do that because I have such a large back catalog of songs that don't necessarily fit on that album I just put out, but I brought together songs that I thought would go together on an album. It will sound like another band with a different style and marketing concept and a new direction with each album," he said.
The Magic Math will be playing at Parkside Cafe with Nashville's Humming House on Monday, March 19th. The band will then embark on short tour that will include stops in Atlanta, Auburn, Tuscaloosa and Chatanooga. For more information, become a fan of the band at www.facebook.com/themagicmath or www.themagicmath.com.

Hard to believe it's really been eight years. This morning I went down to the basement and dug out the old Chicago Tribunes we saved from September 2001; we had a little review of modern history around breakfast table. The kids were all so young then that they really don't remember too much about it. Interestingly, the Anchoress says that most young people don't really want to dwell on it; that's understandable.
I still remember the shock, fear, and deep sorrow I felt that morning. I also remember how I tried to protect the kids from the worst of it by having the TV off during our school morning, but running upstairs to check a different TV every so often. A second plane hit; then a tower fell; then a third plane hit the Pentagon; then rumors of more planes flying toward targets. Then, Flight 93 crashing into Pennsylvania ground. Even now, I'm not sure I have the chronology right; it's a blur of terror and shock. I know the north tower was hit first, but the south tower fell first; there were a few things I committed to memory because I wanted to always remember some specific, hard, facts about the day.
The uncertainty was terrible: how bad would this be? What more was planned? How many would die, and when would this attack end? I thought about a good friend who was a flight attendant for United; she was flying that day, as it turned out, and ended up being grounded on the east coast for several days, until they finally started flying planes again.
I still remember the heroes of Flight 93: I vowed never to forget their names. Todd Beamer. Jeremy Glick. Thomas Burnett. Mark Bingham. Here's a site with a timeline of the revolt by the passengers as they bravely stopped the hijackers from crashing the jet into the White House or Congress.
And tonight, I found this site with a story I've only just begun to read; it's hard to remember everything that happened that day, but at the same time, it's so very important to remember.

Department of Political Science Home
"A people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."
James Madison, 1822
Mission.The Political Science department analyzes the exercise of political power as it relates to governance, citizenship, and justice at all levels: local, national, and international.

Why No Credit is Bad Credit
By Roxanne Vivanco | 07/18/2012 - 18:00 | 0 Comments
Growing up as a first generation American with Latin born parents, I didn't know what credit was until I got to college. My parents did not rely on credit and paid for everything they purchased in cash. They grew up in South America, where the knowledge of credit was limited and people were wary of credit cards. I remember my parents...
