INSANITY® and the XBy Steve Edwards
Today we'll discuss Beachbody's new INSANITY program and how to approach it if you've already done P90X. The INSANITY guidebook is written for first-time Beachbody® customers. If you've already completed one or more of our programs, especially P90X, you're going to want to take a different approach. We'll also look at how to schedule INSANITY post-X and how to use it to improve your P90X results.
All of our entry-level programs' diet guidebooks are written assuming weight loss is a primary concern. The P90X diet guidebook is not. Instead, its focus is on athletic performance, because the key to getting results with P90X is to improve your physical fitness as much as possible over the course of the program. While INSANITY is definitely a graduate-level program—meaning you need a fitness base prior to beginning—it is not structured periodizationally the way P90X is. It's shorter and more straightforward. Its results are based more on progressive overload than Muscle Confusion™. Similarly, the diet is based simply on eating clean, then ramping up the calories along with your workouts. Those coming off the X will want to amend the INSANITY diet guidelines or ignore them totally.
The INSANITY diet is very calorically restrictive. It was designed for weight loss, since that's what most of our customers are interested in. If you're coming off P90X or something similar, you should alter the diet to suit your needs, because your body composition will be far more athletic at the beginning. We've left the "additional food" section of the INSANITY diet open-ended for just this reason. However, once you've gone through several rounds of the X or something equivalent, you're generally at a point where you should do your own dietary calculations.
When you look at the X diet, you see a plan that's designed to teach you how to eat for athletics. It varies over time, attempting to follow the changes in your body composition. Once you graduate from the X, there shouldn't be much need for outside diet plans except for variety's sake. You could use the INSANITY diet for this, but you'll want to alter your calories to meet your own goals using what you've already learned. It's almost a certainty that a post-X body will have a composition that requires more calories than what the INSANITY diet recommends.
Keep in mind that no matter what diet you choose, at the highest level of performance you always have to do your own trial and error. There's no one diet that's right for everyone. Nowhere is this as apparent as during athletic endeavors. By making tweaks to our diets, we will always find individual differences in the ways certain foods affect us. No two athletes eat exactly the same way. There are some large-scale brushstrokes that are nutritionally similar, after which what works best becomes more individualized.
Now let's look at how to cycle INSANITY into your Beachbody library. The most common question we get is how INSANITY will affect the muscle mass gained during X. The answer is that if you do it right, INSANITY can improve your muscle mass. This is because of basic physiology, primarily the periodization principle. Once you grasp this, it should be fairly easy to figure out how to schedule INSANITY.
Let's begin with recovery. The time between doing different workout programs becomes very important as your fitness improves. We always recommend a break after our workout programs, but P90X and especially INSANITY require more calculation. These programs are designed to break you down, let you recover, then increase the breakdown and finish with a bang. The goal is to put your body into a growth (sometimes referred to as mastery) phase over the final few weeks of the program. During this phase, results come rapidly, but stay in it too long and you overtrain, which forces your body into a plateau, or worse, a decline. This is why we recommend that your final P90X fit test be done after a week of recovery.
When transitioning from P90X to INSANITY, it's important to consider that you're moving from a mastery phase of one program into an entry phase of another. Sure, INSANITY's entry phase is very hard, but over the course of P90X, your workload capacity has been improving. Because INSANITY doesn't have a true resistance component, its first week can function similarly to the transition/recovery weeks of P90X. Post-X, your body's ability to adapt to hard exercise is greatly increased. This means you can start INSANITY on the heels of P90X, and its first week will function as your recovery week. Even though INSANITY will also break you down in some new areas, your fitter body will adapt quickly to the change.
Conversely, post-INSANITY, you'll want a longer recovery period. This is because you've essentially extended the adaptive and growth phases of P90X for an extra 6 to 8 weeks. No matter how fit you are, your body will always need a break after taking such a pounding. One to 3 weeks of easy to moderate exercise should have you recovered and ready to move into your next round of training, no matter what it is.
Speaking of adaptive and growth phases, we should also address how you may want to shorten the first block (or month) of INSANITY. Similar to the diet phases of P90X, you'll only want to continue in the first block of INSANITY as long as your body is adapting to it. Once it feels "easy," it's time to move into the second block. You'll still want to take the designated INSANITY recovery week because you want to be rested for your next block of training. This will accelerate your time in the adaptive phase of the training block and help you maximize the growth phase.
Finally, we need to discuss how this can improve your muscle mass. The 6 to 8 weeks of INSANITY will have improved various energy systems of your body, increasing its potential for hard training. INSANITY will improve your aerobic and anaerobic capacities. Your VO2/max and anaerobic threshold will both improve, as will your body's glycolytic efficiency, which is your ability to recharge your anaerobic system during intense bouts of exercise. The result is that in your next round of P90X (or any muscle-building program), you'll have more energy to burn at the end of each set. This will result in increased reps per set or more weight per set, both of which lead to increased hypertrophy (muscle growth) if that is your target.
These are the basic principles you should understand about P90X and INSANITY. As with all high-level training programs, there are plenty more variables that can be discussed. Since these are more personal in nature, they should be addressed on the Message Boards, where we can discuss them on a case-by-case basis.

P90X® Plus—The Next Level
Finished the X and ready for more? Take a behind-the-scenes look at P90X Plus—Tony Horton takes it to the next level.
1st Law of Exercise: VarietyBy Tony Horton
Variety is the spice of life and fitness. A lifetime of health and fitness is achievable when you can think outside the box. You have to mix it up all the time. Stay curious and creative, and stick with the kinds of workouts that you enjoy. A variety of exercises, workouts, and sports will allow you to avoid injuries, plateaus, and boredom.
One of the reasons Power 90®, Power Half Hour®, Power 90 Master Series, and P90X work so well for so many people—people who have tried and failed with other programs—is because they are NOT one discipline. These programs incorporate a variety of things: sectional progression, plyometrics, ab and core routines, boxing and kickboxing, yoga, stretching, and cardiovascular exercises. From Tony & the Kids! to P90X, I have always tried to make the routines fun and filled with a variety of movements—these workouts are uncomplicated, easy to follow, and time-tested, and have combinations that work. I'm not a fan of boredom. Doing the same routines and movements over and over again doesn't appeal to me. That's why many of my programs don't repeat the same move twice.
Curiosity is a key reason I've been able to sustain a high level of fitness for over 20 years. If I see something that looks fun and challenging, I'll try it. If it doesn't ring my chimes, I'll move on to something else. Curiosity was one of the reasons you decided to order Power 90, Power Half Hour, Power 90 Master Series, or P90X. You weren't happy with the status quo. You were probably unhappy and unhealthy. You were in a rut and you wanted a change. When I'm in a rut, I look for ways to mix it up. Just because something works for me right now doesn't mean it will work or hold my interest later. Too many people hold on too tightly to things that don't work anymore. You know it's time to change things when you hear yourself saying "I feel burned out," "This isn't fun anymore," or "I'm no longer seeing improvement with this routine."
You could be suffering from a temporary bout of mind babble, or maybe it's your heart telling you that it's time to move on. Only you know the difference. Don't do something just because everyone else is doing it. Figure out what keeps you in the game, even if it's very different from what others think you need. If you're beating yourself up when it comes to inspiration and motivation regarding perspiration, then you need an alteration to your transformation.
Variety in your fitness world will keep boredom, injuries, and plateaus at bay. That's the reason Power 90 has two levels. P90X and Power 90 Master Series were created so you'll have myriad ways to mix it up and continue to see improvements over time. If you really want to improve your fitness and physique and make this a lifestyle thing, then eventually the other box you'll need to get outside of . . . is your house. This might be hard for people with a hectic schedule, but why not skip that Sunday barbecue for a hike or run or skate or swim or volleyball game? After you've seen my goofy mug too many times, you might want to open the door and explore.
P90X or Power 90 can be the on switch to a lifetime of health and fitness. After your 90 days are up, a nice variety of activities, workouts, and athletic endeavors will turn on even more lights. I like to call the program after Power 90 Power 10,950. That's 30 years. You can reinvent yourself and take control of your life if you stay curious and try new things. Finishing an exercise program lets you begin to explore all the possibilities. Variety in fitness and life is essential for keeping the lights on.

Wednesday, January 30, 2019
Hello, my chuckaboos! It's Hidebound Hump Day. I've mentioned that originally, in 2015, this #steampunk story was also a culinary mystery. I really miss the cooking bloggers who followed it back then. This chapter reminded me of them. Sometimes rerunning episodes of this serial can be rather bittersweet.
Cornelis Drebbel's magical submarine is at our port. The klaxon sounds as the vessel rises to the surface, and we're ready for another chapter of Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers!
Previously with Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers
Chapter 27 "It's an amethyst world!" Copper exclaimed when she saw the strange place where the magically whirling submarine went aground.
A purple ape wearing a three piece suit with a starched collar and a bowler hat came into view. It seems strange to say, but the hat and the suit made me think of Ignatius Belle. However, I was also reminded in an odd way of the portrait of Copper's father, Calvin Hixon, who turned out to be Belle's father as well.
The amethyst colored ape moved his hands in sign language.
Copper, the alchemist, and I spoke in chorus, "Daddy?"
All aboard!
Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers
28 — Broken Knife, Sea Urchin, Potable Water
The simian's reaction surprised all of us.
"Oh! You can speak. How wondrous!" was the delighted exclamation of the purple ape who wore a man's suit, hat, and spectacles. "And what remarkable coloring you have!"
"Of course we can talk. But it's amazing that you can!" Copper called out in reply as she clambered down from the submarine hatch, too quick for me to stop her.
The alchemist stood in gaping astonishment. I pushed past him and hurried after the girl, although I didn't know how I could protect her from something as strong as the ape surely was. I had no weapon on me, not so much as a little muff pistol.
Abruptly I remembered my pearl handled pen knife. It wasn't much use as a weapon, but I reached quickly into my pocket. However, the pen knife seemed to have been damaged during the chaos of the spinning submarine. When I tried to open it, the broken knife fell apart in my hands.
The creature seemed genial enough, but who could say? I had no idea into what sort of place we had been cast by the accident of alchemy that sent Cornelis Drebbel's submarine off course with rogue magic.
"Have a care, Felicity," Cornelis hissed, as though he'd finally come back to himself.
"Of course I'll be careful. Why didn't you stop her?" I said through my teeth, trying to hide my anger with the Dutchman from the strange primate on the shore.
I turned back toward the quickly moving girl.
"Copper stop right there and wait until I catch up with you," I demanded and for once she complied.
"But Felicity! I like him. He's funny," the girl pleaded. "I'm sure it's perfectly safe," Copper added in a rather good imitation of an adult.
"How can you think a purple ape — in a suit no less, is perfectly safe?" I whispered as I caught up to the girl and took her hand.
Cornelis cleared his throat loudly.
"That's not what I meant. I wasn't talking about the ape when I told you to be careful," the alchemist said urgently. "Doppelgängers!" he exclaimed, using his trick of casting his voice directly to my ear.
"What's a doppelgänger?" Copper wanted to know.
The moppet was close enough to me to hear the projected voice of the alchemist. She looked from Cornelis to me and then back over her shoulder at the very large purple chimpanzee.
"It's a sort of lookalike," I told her.
As I gazed into the shallows of the sparkling amethyst water I noticed a violet colored sea urchin.
Here even fishes and such are one color of purple or another, I thought.
The water itself took on the hue of lavender from the sky it reflected. That alone was enough to make it a stranger place than anything I had ever imagined.
Cornelis seemed to be permanently adhered to his surely uncomfortable position, halfway out of the submarine's hatch. I could hear Absinthe inside chirping excitedly, but I couldn't tell if the Green Fairy was anxious, angry, or simply feeling chatty.
Then a bottle levitated up from within the submarine. Cornelis snatched it out of the air and thanked the Green Fairy in a droll tone.
"Absinthe thinks you should take this potable water with you, as it might not be safe to drink anything here," the Dutchman commented. "I think it's a bad idea for you to leave this vessel at all."
"Whatever are you talking about, Dutchman?" I looked up at Cornelis and asked while Copper stood staring at the chimp in a suit.
At the shore, the chimpanzee shifted his bowler hat and placed his walking stick in front of himself with both hands propped on its crystal top. Naturally the crystal was an amethyst cabochon. He looked curious, but quite patient and relaxed.
"If you meet your doppelgänger it could be dangerous," the alchemist said.
"Why on earth would I meet my double?" I asked feeling piqued, with Copper pulling me forward and the alchemist holding me back.
"I think it's the nature of this world, this place," Cornelis explained with exaggerated patience. "It probably has its own versions of all of us. Purple versions, but still…" he added with a shrug.
"Why is it purple?" Copper interrupted. "Is there a purple fairy, like Absinthe is the Green Fairy?" she asked, eyes widening in anticipation.
The Green Fairy stuck his tiny nose out of the hatch and bit onto the alchemist's sleeve, pulling it as if he wanted Cornelis to get back inside.
"Alright, alright," he told Absinthe. "Copper, I suspect there is a good reason for the purple coloring, but the important thing you need to understand is that everything around us could become — well you could say the place may get unstable, just because of our presence. If any of us met our doubles it could be," he paused, probably looking for words a young girl would understand. "Bad. It could be very bad," he finished, but looked dissatisfied with his choice of words.
"Cornelis, aren't you coming with us?" I asked with an uneasy eye on the large, strong chimpanzee, who had moved forward to the very edge of the water.
"No, Felicity. Were I to meet my doppelgänger it wouldn't be dangerous," he replied, and closing his eyes he took a deep breath. "It would be catastrophic."
Seldom had I seen the Dutchman so serious. I don't pretend that I fully understood his vague explanation, but I knew it had something to do with alchemy. So I didn't press.
"Do I have a doppelgänger?" a giggling Copper wanted to know, and I realized she'd found a new favorite word. "The monkey might be Daddy's doppelgänger," she added, giggling even harder.
When I looked at Cornelis he curled his lips inward in a rueful grimace and raised his bushy blonde eyebrows. Then he pursed his lips and inclined his head pointedly toward the amethyst ape. The ape shifted his stance. Suddenly he reminded me very much of the portrait of Calvin Hixon.
The purple primate saw us looking at him and raised his voice to make sure it carried to us.
"I'm sure it's most unsettling, having your vessel run aground. And clearly you aren't from here," the ape began. "Or from any place of which I've ever heard…" his voice trailed off as he shook his head wonderingly. "But I assure you it really is perfectly safe, just as the young err… the young lady said."
Had the ape hesitated to call Copper a young lady? Could it be that he perceived us as we saw him — as strange animals? Profound thoughts crowded my mind.
The ape looked remarkably like the portrait of Copper's father. With of course the exception him of being an ape.
The suit-wearing creature bumped his palm to his forehead as if something obvious had just occurred to him.
"Oh! If you are concerned that you don't see people like yourselves, please don't fear. We thought your species was extinct. I can't tell you how delighted I am to know that is not the case! And that extraordinary coloring you have. This is so exciting! But pardon me. I digress," he said in a gracious apologetic voice.
"As I was saying, there's no need to fear. The one eyed one horned flying purple people eater is surely dead. None have been seen for a hundred years!" the ape said, adjusting his spectacles.
At the primate's comment Absinthe fluttered up and out of the submarine. He chirped and grunted excitedly. The Green Fairy hovered around Copper's head briefly. Then he darted toward the purple ape. Absinthe made several passes around the primate to inspect him, grunting the while.
"How delightful!" the very large chimpanzee exclaimed, taking off his spectacles since Absinthe was mere inches from his face. "What a colorful little chap. Why you're like a very tiny, very green version of the purple people eater," he said and Absinthe gave a disagreeable chirp. "Well no, I suppose that's not true at all. But you seem to be the same sort of fae being."
I couldn't sense any animosity from the ape… and judging by the crash landing of the submarine we were going to need some kind of help. So I allowed Copper to lead me to the shore where he stood. The suited primate bowed politely to us, doffing his bowler hat.
Absinthe settled in his protective position atop Copper's head. However, the ape's attention wandered to the submarine. He was so intrigued that he waded out into the shallows for a better look.
"You know," he said in a self-deprecating tone. "I'm something of an inventor myself. What sort of vessel is that? It looks almost as though it's meant to sail under the water," the ape marveled.
Cornelis never could resist showing off one of his inventions and the ape was clearly a willing and eager audience. Abruptly the alchemist appeared at his elbow. The purple primate jumped with a start.
"Allow me to introduce myself," the Dutchman said. "I'm Cornelis Drebbel and I'd be delighted to show you the submarine."
The ape gasped. His eyes grew large and his mouth opened silently. The primate's eyes narrowed and he looked intently at Cronelis.
"With this outlandish coloring, how could I suspect," he murmured, and then he bowed extravagantly to Cornelis.
"Cornelis Drebbel, Lord of Alchemy, I welcome you to these shores. Please accept my humble apology for not recognizing you. No one has seen you for decades. It was feared that the purple people eater had… well… But how foolish of us to think you would have been bested by any beast, no matter how fearsome."
Real World Notes
Potable water.Where we say "drinking water," the Victorians may have used the term potable water. It simply means water that is safe to drink or to use for food preparation. While safe drinking water is something many take for granted, that wasn't always the case.
The Romans developed aqueducts solely dedicated to this purpose as early as 312 B.C. Yet the rest of the world seems to have been many centuries behind them. By the 1800s some communities were beginning to create water filtering systems. As the 1900s progressed, so did standards and regulations.
Victorian Vernacular
Nanty Narking: Great fun.
Neck oil: Beer.
Not up to dick: Not well, feeling wretched.
Will this newfound status go to the alchemist's head? Will a doppelgänger of one of the characters show up and wreak havoc? How will they get back home so they can find Copper's daddy? What about that one eyed one horned flying purple people eater? And for that matter, wasn't Absinthe acting stranger than usual?
Be at the steampunk submarine port next time to find out what happens to learn what happens when Straitlaced, Queen Anne Style Architecture, and Harper's Bazaar meet Copper, the Alchemist, and the Woman in Trousers!
My chuckaboos, it's sure to be a naty narking adventure!
Now some shameless self-promotion.

How much do Vinyl records cost anyway???
If ya in to Garth and Vinyl, this will be like a dream come true for ya.
Vinyl isn't cheap because there's only a few places that still make vinyl albums.
How much do Vinyl records cost anyway???
If ya in to Garth and Vinyl, this will be like a dream come true for ya.
So here's my guess, based on Garth's history and what he's said about this so far. I think the vinyl boxes will be the Diamond Series, and if that's true then I think each album will be released in it's own box, which will include the main album on one vinyl disc, and bonus material (including demos, live performances, bonus tracks, etc) on a second vinyl disc. I think each box will also include 2 CDs with the same content, and a digital download card. I also guess that each album will have a deluxe sized booklet (possibly hardbacked) celebrating that album. But those won't be too grand, since he won't want them to compete with the Anthologies.
If this is indeed what he's releasing, then I imagine each one would go for $50-$100 each. And if he does include CDs and digital download cards, then each shipment would count as 6 discs for his RIAA totals.
Now if he just releases a single boxed set with one-disc vinyl versions of all 12 country studio albums (including Fun) + maybe one or two discs of bonus tracks, etc., then I imagine the price will be anywhere from $200-$300. Now if he also includes vinyl versions of Double Live, Chris Gaines, The Lost Sessions, The Ultimate Hits, and/or Triple Live, then the cost would obviously go up even higher.
I guess my question is who is going to share if there is new music cause I am not dropping hundreds of dollars
man- it takes time to find time during the week for a recap!
Here's the recap for this past Monday's inside studio G
Apologize for the lateness of this recap
Inside Studio G Recap for 2-4-2019
Inside Studio G is clocking in a bit bigger, at 20 minutes, 24 seconds this week
Going out to Grammys, and musicCares for Dolly Parton (on 2/8)
People are giving Garth Birthday wishes (and garth says gifts showing up in mail)
Reiterates all $ from t4k goes to kids
Mentions lady from last week about showing tattoos but not hers.. recaps and revisits that
Talks about bohemian rhapsody movie- heard that Brian may actor in movie was little kids in jurassic park.. (did not know that! )
In movie, they talk about the song, they lose their record deal due to it, they release it anyway, its panned everywhere, bad reviews etc, and turns out to be one of the biggest selling records in rock history
Trying to connect (I guess) the dance and the change to the importance to bohemian rhapsody saying (paraphrase) these songs, mostly ballads, become the holders of the words that people have tattooed on them
Thanks the writer(s) (Tony Arata certainly)
Getting comments about the super bowl, which brings them to tailgate
Trishas tailgate tickets went on sale for the next concert.. (way too expensive (almost as much as the ticket was) but there is a lot of food and drink
Each one will be unique to the city. There are still some tickets for st Louis tailgate but they sell out fast
- actually had to forcibly close it down so people could / would go into the show itself
Talking about having Trishas tailgates at other places (stagecoach etc..)
Ask Garths
O.H.I.O. (twitter)
Would you ever consider live streaming a stadium show on the garth channel? (gonna guess he says no)
No (told ya!) have not thought of it, and I cant imagine live streaming it, BUT Ill check with them and see cause this is a cool thing- what if we popped in with them for one song? You just get to pop in with them, get a taste of it, the next stadium you do it well make sure its a different song they pop in on, you can get an idea of what its like to be in the crowd for one of these things cause I tell ya, its the best seat in the house, and its the coolest thing to get to be garth on one of these things, because the crowd, is the best part of the show. Its like um, its like events and you go to the show and you want them to be amazing, what makes a garth concert just the even for me, is the crowd, hands down. Its not garth, not the band, no offense to the band and the crew, its the crowd. Thats a great idea, well get to work on it. ]
More F.U.N. comments
Doing a twitter poll about the top few hashtags for album, and tweet people for their favorite- will do it for a week or so before the launch of the record, which he says is coming up soon.
Jill (twitter}
Happy early birthday Garth. Will you give us any hints about the artist you will cover with the trilogy in each city? Id love to see you do a little Johnny b Goode in St Louis. Pretty sure you wont touch Nellie Lol
the trilogies.. Ok the trilogies are these things that remind the kids of the bands, of the music that should never be forgotten and wont be forgotten. But the trilogies or music 101 are only in the universities so the next trilogy is probably going to be in I guess Florida, where the gators are. So that will b the next trilogy.
Tina Filer (twitter)
I cant wait to celebrate G day on the 7th. I have my M&Ms, Dr Pepper, but what should I order from Taco Bell? Please help ( oh for the love of all thats holy . What a dumb softball mindless question .Im beginning to wonder if Im just not as obsessed as I used to be or if Im just not obsessed as a fan at all
Anything off of the supreme menu, of course. Its your birthday right? You only get to do it once a year thats sweet ..
Talks about what hes gonna have for his birthday and do on his birthday
Amy (FB comment}
Garth do you have any advice for my daughter, as she heads into her first studio recording session on March 7th?
well one, shes picked a good day to do it . Id tell her to just have fun. Shes gonna be nervous as hell, and shes going to want to be someone different than herself but just tell her the she is enough. Thats it- thats what they just kept reminding me, when I went into my first one, so thats it, just have fun.
Dave (video question/comment)
- talking again about tattoos - no real question .
kinda speed a can of worms here..
Next week will have samples of product for people to see, and next week will introduce Vinyl.
Dont know whats going on yet buy will have all ducks in a row next week. They actually know the just have to wait until next week
Vinyl package is coming .
Vinyl boxes are numbered. Hav the chance to reserve the number before it is even made. Will bak about details next week. Going to take about 3 continents, -4 countries to make this thing, its going to be crazy.
people who Made it Have promised that can do really short and reserve our numbers
Its going to be expensive, so not for everyone. Wants to make sure the first offering (coming the week after next probably, ) the first window, will be just for us. Wants to test system, without bearing down on it but wants to make sure people get the numbers they want.
As windows evolve, will blow it out and get bigger partners.
No formal announcement till next week.

Didn't see Inside studio G Live, but I heard it cut off before the end, is that right?
Also he didnt give details of the Vinyl thing?
But he's going to spring training with the Pittsburgh pirates!! Cool!
It did cut off but some news next week about vinyl and the actual vinyl info is the week after that, i think.
Probably just a coincidence, but the Record Store Day list will likely be released in 2-3 weeks. It takes place on Saturday April 13.
According to Garth's
Inside studio G 5pm est tomorrow from the pirates spring training.
Not sure if there will be two studio g's tomorrow, or just the one earlier.
I believe just one.
I guess it will be about team mates for kids, and of course the Vinyl thing.
I sure hope we find out about vinyl soon. I need to know how much to save for my collection. This is going to be an expensive year if everything comes out that is hinted at. New album-cd and vinvl, Diamond Series-cd and vinyl, Anthology 2 or 4 or 5, Triple Live-cd and vinyl, maybe release of catalog....plus those copies I buy as gifts during the year. Yikes.
Garth said today that "Triple Live" is coming this fall. Should discuss vinyl project next week.

If Triple Live is coming out in the fall, what about Fun? Fall is when he releases things.
Initial thoughts.
The packaging is amazing, I mean really, its mind blowing, hats off to Garth for that.
Now correct me if Im wrong for the following.
There are going to be three versions.
One is going to have the numbers.
Each version are going to have cd's as well as records.
There will be Triple Live, and four other albums????
No Fences, In Pieces, not sure what the other two are.
It wont be shipped until November? (or is that just the ones with the numbers)
Different prices, ranging from $50, $75, $100 to $200. (did I hear that right)
You can order all three versions for $100 Bucks tomorrow??
There will be bonus songs on each album.
Only avaaible for people in the USA. (at this stage, since Im not vinyl person, I Probably wont get my brother to send it out)
If I lived in the USA, and was a fan of Vinyl I would be jumping to get this IF there were quite a few bonus songs.
It looks a Lovely package.
What do people think????
Last edited by Brett Dale; 02-25-2019 at 07:41 PM.
All versions will have a special number assigned to it.
Unclear about each version having the CD's. I think that's what he said later on.
Triple Live, No Fences, The Chase, In Pieces, and the fourth one might be Fresh Horses because Garth mentioned the song "The Fever."
Shipped in November (8 months) to your door, USA only, if you want to reserve a special number.
Different prices for each version, Analog $50, Remix/Remaster $75, Limited $100 and only the limited version are going to have bonus tracks on it.
Will be sold to retail-those will be numbered as well. One time shot to get vinyl from Garth "because it's not going to last long."
Tuesday, February 26th, go to talk shop live and you can get all 3 versions for only $100. Plus you are trying to get that special six digit number. www.garthbrooks.com/vinyl
Sooo...we're not getting his entire catalog on vinyl. A bit upset about that.
~"Choose to chance the rapids, and dare to dance the tide."~
~"Blood is thicker than water, but love is thicker than blood."~
-Garth Brooks
So let me try to understand. 3 versions of package that are numbered. Then 3 versions with no numbers. And then a concert version of the 3 versions? Plus how are they packaged. I saw albums but didn't catch the CD part. Plus you buy tomorrow but don't get until November. But those at concert can get theirs at concert. When will retail get theirs? Will there be an only CD version that comes without vinyl? I like that we can order now but not charged till September,give or take. So many questions. Plus 5 albums with two special albums and CDs. How many total units for those of us interested. With 100,00 numbered to start times how many albums and CDs, then retail copies times unlimited numbers, and concert copies times unlimited. I have so many more questions.

If Music Be The Food Of Love ........I spent some time this week wondering what would be my precious for November. I thought while I was driving to work, while I was scrapping, while I was preparing dinner and all the time couldn't think what I would choose. I knew what I would use for December - something I had decided on many months ago and was saving especially for my last precious but what to use for November?
It then came to me - all the while I had been wondering what to choose it was there with me - my iPod. I play it in the car, play it while I am cooking dinner, listen to it (on my cupcake shaped earphones, of course) while I am scrapping. In fact, if I needed to leave the house quickly I wouldn't have to look far to find it.
This is my second iPod nano. My first was much larger and black, was a Christmas present from David. He had had the back engraved (something you can do if you buy direct from Apple ) with 'Karen's iPod - both small and beautiful.'
In the summer Apple ran a promotion where you could trade in old iPods for the iPod Nano 5. I suspect that this model didn't sell as it is much smaller than the regular Nano and they now have later models. Gracia sorted out the exchange and I am now in possession of this small but beautifully put together little number (David would still say - just like me, I hope).
So yes, I would be lost without it and it is very precious to me.
This post was brought to you in conjunction with Sian's Storytelling Sunday - I would suggest that it may be a lovely way to while away some Sunday time by popping over to her blog and investigating other people's precious things.
Hope your Sunday is a good one x
Reasons to be Cheerful:-
1. The sun is shining with the promise of a glorious day.
2. I am quite bizarrly looking forward to cleaning the house today.
3. My beautiful lilies that David bought me are now at their most magnificent and their scent fills the dining room x

Crowley's swap seems to correct the attribution to the text of the Thirty-Two Paths of Wisdom.
The text for the 15th path and it's traditional Golden Dawn attribution of the Emperor reads:
The Fifteenth Path is the Constituting Intelligence, so called because it constitutes the substance of creation in pure darkness, and men have spoken of these contemplations; it is that darkness spoken of in scripture, Job xxxviii. 9, "and thick darkness a swaddling band for it."
To me the Star is a much better fit for that text than the Emperor. Equally the text for the 28th path seems to correspond better to the Emperor than it's traditional attribution to the Star:
The Twenty-eighth Path is the Natural Intelligence, and is so called because through it is consummated and perfected the nature of every existent being under the orb of the Sun, in perfection.
So far Crowley's swap is all well and good and seems to have smoothed out all the little problems in the Golden Dawn attributions. But in the act of solving one problem it creates another.
Crowley says that the Emperor is attributed the astrological sign of Aries and placed on the 28th path, and the Star is Aquarius and placed on the 15th. This breaks with the Yetziratic tradition that says that Heh = Aries = 15th path. Tzaddi = Aquarius = 28th path.
When you swap the astrological signs around to conform with their respective cards, they don't seem to fit any more. This is quite frustrating. I mean, Aries on the 28th path between Yesod and Netzach! How does that work? I can understand the placement of the Emperor there but not the sign of Aries. It just doesn't fit.
Crowley's swap seems to solve one problem by creating another. Are Crowley's apparent mix ups in the Book of Thoth intended to show that both old and new attributions are correct?

Dear Em,
Ive got a little time so I thought I would use it up writing even if I have got nothing to say. Co. K. will be on gaurd tomorrow 21st (the day of the big parade,) and I cant say that I am sorry, for it isn't going to be any picnic parading all over El Paso in heavy marching order. It would be a great sight for you to see I guess, but you would get good and sick of it be for the first 10, or 15, thousand dusky brown stream of humanity got by. I know I wouldn't go to the front window to see it.
We don't know yet whether this is the wind up of our tour of duty down here or not. Probably you people back home there know more about it than we do. All we are taught here is how to be soldiers and how to obey orders. The out side world is a blank. I received your post card with the poem on it by Phil Osopher which is very appropriate for army life.
If there is an election held here for a lieutenant I will be appointed top sergeant. This will not be so bad considering the fact that when I was at Framingham I was only a corporal. It will be a job filled with responsibility but thats what Im down here for. The sweeters that were issued to us sertainly do come in handy mornings and nights but they might just as well be in Alaska in the day time for we don't even need our underwear on in them hours. It is hard to imagine the difference in temperature that takes place here in six hours. What in the world will we do when we get back to dear old Mass., if we feel the cold so easy here now. But you see our blood is pretty thin now. The band is about as far away from my tent as the church is from 297, the musicians are practicing in the same tent with me, some one in the next tent is singing, "Loading up the Mandy Lee" and beleive me I can just about write this letter, and thats all.
I dont know how true it is but they say (same stuff) that we have made our last trip to the (Mesa) our drill ground, 3 miles away. Well we were just getting used to it, but we are not sorry.
I stopped for about 3 minutes to try and think up something to write about and what do you think it is? Well this. When I left the house that morning, I took a dish towel, a Turkish towel, a set of union suits (you know the one I paid about 37¢ for in Filene's Basement) the razor, and tooth brush. And Ive got them all. How is that for keeping things picked up ha Lena? (Don't get mad now.) I will say that the dish towel and union suit is pretty near in threads, but I hope I can give Lena back her dish towel a little the worse from scrubbing but never the less a (dish towel). There have been times that I wished I took my safty, but (Safty First) you know. Say and aint I fussy about my cloths. They say I am the most particular soldier in camp.

Over the past few months I've been doing some freelance journalism work for VYPE Magazine. VYPE is a high school sports magazine that focuses on covering student-athletes in the Houston area.
While I've covered an assortment of sports in my career, I haven't covered cross country or track since I wrote two features back in 2008. The first highlighted Olympic hopeful LeJerald Betters and the other was a feature for the Big 12 Conference on Erin Bedell.
A few weeks back I had the opportunity to speak with two local student-athletes on behalf of VYPE Magazine who are making their mark on the Houston cross country circuit. Both Willis' Cali Roper and The Woodlands' Brigham Hedges were named Gullo Player of the Month.

Organizations rely on Rocket® UniData, a best-in-class of the MultiValue application platform, for scalable business apps that can evolve as needs change. As a stable, secure, fast data server engine with high availability and low administrative overhead, Rocket UniData is ideal for rapid development using modern tools. On-premises or in the cloud, UniData serves nearly a million users worldwide.
Performance by design
Rocket UniData's unique and resilient architecture delivers performance advantages compared to traditional SQL databases. UniData offers variable length records and tables within tables. This structure organizes data in a natural manner, which makes for easier database design, eliminating the constraints of SQL normalization. It's also faster than many other databases, as UniData has direct-read capabilities that result in fewer I/O operations than required by SQL. The efficient data access and dynamic allocation of available computing resources help UniData maximize throughput across all tiers of your implementation.
Because records in UniData have variable length, less data is transmitted within the entirety of the system. Less data transmitted means mobile applications are more responsive, replication (for disaster recovery, high availability and more) is more efficient, and the performance of your applications is not bogged down by excessive movement of data.
Rocket UniData runs on a variety of Microsoft Windows®, and UNIX platforms including RedHat Linux®, IBM AIX®, and others.
What's New in Rocket UniData 8.2
New and enhanced features with UniData 8.2 expand possible solutions for your ever-changing requirements:
- Enhanced audit logging helps you document compliance with regulatory and internal SLA requirements
- Python language support gives your developers the ability to code using this popular open source language
- Support for Rocket Discover, a collaborative business intelligence solution to help your business users get the most out of your UniData application data
Rapid development means rapid returns
UniData includes multiple, easy-to-use programming languages (including Python) with multiple standard supplied interfaces (Node.js, .NET, Java, ODBC, JDBC, RESTful via JSON) for multi-tier solutions. Accelerate your teams' productivity by selecting the best development tools based upon your staff's capabilities.
The MultiValue Application Platform accelerates the speed of application development allowing you to respond quickly to new requests from the business or technical teams. And because the MultiValue Application Platform is so stable and efficient, most customers find they can easily manage UniData with a lean DB Admin staff.
Security is paramount
Rocket embeds the most effective security standards for encryption technology deep within the data server, so your data is secure no matter its location, and whether in-transit or stored on disk.
SSL/TLS secures connections to the MultiValue server and encrypts data in transit for protection from snooping or eavesdropping. Third parties can also validate and accredit our cryptographic modules for FIPS 140-2 compliance.
Automatic data encryption ensures only trusted users with the encryption key can view data. Stolen data is rendered useless without the encryption key.
UniData also offers role-based security for users accessing the application. Required DBA maintenance to implement and maintain these capabilities is simple and efficient.
Auditing capabilities within UniData provide traceability and proof of actions, assisting with compliance documentation for regulations such as HIPAA/HITECH and Sarbanes-Oxley. Audit logs cannot be changed once written, providing complete audit trails to external auditors. Auditing policies can be modified "on the fly" (by authorized personnel only) without restarting the database. You can trap and trace attacks or data misuse originating internally or externally to your organization when they occur.
High Availability/Disaster Recovery
To ensure business continuity in the event of planned and unplanned outages, your applications and data need to be protected and recoverable. Rocket UniData HA/DR solutions were designed help you recover from an outage quickly and with minimal business impact. Using a publisher/multiple-subscriber model, UniData HA/DR replication is flexible, easy to understand, and easy to maintain. HA/DR solutions can even be configured with delays to protect from inadvertent operations mistakes.
Extend the UniData data server tier with:
Fast track application development
Comprehensive .NET interfaces for UniVerse
Modernization, enhanced performance, and 24x7x365 uptime
Drivers and native APIS for JDBC and ODBC
RESTful Web Services with developer and administrative tools
Quickly integrate, renovate, or transform character-based applications

TBT - Perfect MumOnly 30 hours and she will be in my arms x
This seemed an appropriate Throwback Thursday as very soon I will have her home, albeit for just a week before they go off to France for a holiday.
Reasons to be cheerful:-
1. She will be home, on and off, until September.
2. They amaze me with how they just think nothing of planning an adventure abroad which involves them sorting out all the travel, hotels and trips to other places, without involving a travel agent.
3. Looking forward to another summer, hopefully, without any major arguments - going for the third in a row!

Innovating Across the School Program
In effective charter schools, the mission drives every aspect of the school program, and in each case the school program reflects the school's freedom to experiment, to be creative in terms of organization, scheduling, curriculum, and instruction. "The way we are going about closing the achievement gap for our kids," said Roxbury Prep's principal, "simply would not be possible under the present confines of the public school system." The schools are infused with the spirit of innovation. At one charter school, innovation takes the shape of a longer school day; at another, it is in the teaching pedagogy or scheduling configuration. While such practices may have been developed and tried in other places across the country, the novel ways charter schools can put them together often results in a school culture and operational structure quite different from those in neighboring schools.
Figure 3: Mosaica and the Arts and Technology Academy
Not all charter schools want to start from scratch. One option for charter schools is to contract out services such as accounting and other central office functions to "education management organizations." In addition, these management organizations can provide charter schools with an operational structure and curriculum model. Such are the arrangements in place between the Arts and Technology Academy in the District of Columbia and Mosaica Education, Inc., which has relationships with 24 charter schools nationally.
The Arts and Technology Academy (ATA) operates as an LEA with a budget of just over $5,320,000 (2001-02). The school pays Mosaica an annual fee of $610,000 to provide central office management functions and the Mosaica Educational Model. Aspects of this model in place at ATA include the extended school day and calendar year, a commitment to student and teacher facility with technology, foreign language instruction beginning in kindergarten, and Mosaica's interdisciplinary Paragon "world ideas" social studies curriculum, which complements ATA's and Mosaica's focus on the arts. Direct Instruction in reading and mathematics are also a Mosaica feature adopted by ATA. In addition to all that ATA has implemented from the Mosaica model, the school has negotiated variations from the model as well. For example, when a new principal came to ATA, he asked the school board to add the 100 Book Challenge to the school's reading program, to balance the existing skills focus with more literature. The board president and principal noted both a "healthy tension" between ATA and its management company and the importance of a strong board for negotiations.

Mission-Responsive Curriculum and Pedagogy
At the School of Arts and Sciences in Tallahassee, curriculum and instruction are responsive to the developmental approach to learning called for in the school's mission. The program features thematic, interdisciplinary instruction, project-based learning, and portfolios in place of grades. The rubric in figure 4, used for self-reflection and program monitoring, shows how the school defines this approach. In St. Paul, responsive to its mission in a gang-infested neighborhood, the Community of Peace Academy has created a whole co-curriculum, in and outside of class, focused on peace building and fostering justice and a non-violent lifestyle.
With a mission to challenge their students academically, KIPP Academy Houston and the BASIS School, in Tucson provide accelerated curricula (see figure 5). Some schools, like Roxbury Prep and the School of Arts and Sciences, develop their own curricula and do not typically use textbooks. Other schools have adopted external models such as the Advanced Placement curriculum taught at BASIS, the Core Knowledge curriculum used at Oglethorpe, and the Paragon curriculum and direct instruction model at the Arts and Technology Academy.
Figure 4. The School of Arts and Sciences Thematic Instruction Rubric
Stage 2 - Thematic, Multi-Age Classroom
In addition to Stage 1 components
Many schools incorporate project-based learning and internships for older students to develop connections between classroom learning and real world professions. At BASIS, the last two weeks of the school year are devoted to project-based learning. For example, some students developed and produced an opera as part of the Metropolitan Opera Project, while other students went to Mexico to visit a marine biology lab. Each Friday, middle school students at the School of Arts and Sciences work with science professionals in the community. Among their many projects, students have worked on DNA studies, animal studies, robotic programming, and electron conduction studies with university researchers, veterinarians, and engineering scientists. As part of their science class, students conducted an archeology project for Cornell University, and while sifting through sediment from a site, discovered the wing of a pre-historic beetle. Their findings became part of a research study.
Figure 5. BASIS Course Requirements
Course and Graduation Requirements List BASIS High School 2003/04
Enrollment in a minimum of 7 courses/year is required for students in grades 9-11
BASIS does not award 1/2 credits for completing a single term of a two-term course at BASIS
*2003/04 11th grade students are not required to take AP test in Statistics or Calculus
In many of these charter schools, student motivation is enhanced by providing an element of choice within the curriculum. At Oglethorpe Charter School, students pick electives and clubs for Friday activities. At the School of Arts and Sciences, students organize their own progress through a set of assigned math activities or writing exercises. Likewise, the topics of their project work represent personal choices, related to a class or school theme. At Community of Peace Academy, students using the Accelerated Reader program select the books they will read in class based on their improvement and reading level. At the BASIS School, students can choose to take a full menu of Advanced Placement classes and graduate after 11th grade.
Flexible Structure and Operations
In schools driven by a mission, structure should be at the service of function. The flexibility afforded charter schools allows them to carry out their missions in many different ways. Some schools use a traditional model with 50-minute classes, while others use a block schedule with 80- or 90-minute classes. Some use a combination. The structure depends on what the school is trying to accomplish-whether, for example, to expose students to a full liberal arts curriculum or to focus on particular areas or allow for extended projects. At the School of Arts and Sciences, a developmental approach is supported with multi-grade classrooms and allowing students to progress on a developmental timetable. A lead teacher and an assistant teacher work across three grade levels in each classroom.
Because many charter schools have an extremely ambitious mission, they provide a longer school day than their local counterparts. At the Arts and Technology Academy, children attend school one hour a day longer and 20 days more a year than the regular District of Columbia schools. The added time can be calculated as three extra years of schooling by the time children reach high school. At KIPP Academy Houston, students are in school from 7:25 in the morning until 5:00 in the afternoon, with Saturday school required twice each month.
Behind the scenes, administrators at these schools have created program schedules to support teacher collaboration. Shared meeting time for teams of teachers during the school day gives them the opportunity to plan, develop curriculum, discuss student issues, and conference with families. Special Friday schedules at Roxbury Prep allow teachers a weekly three-hour block for professional development. Afternoon teacher meetings are a weekly feature at the BASIS School, as well.
Responsive Staffing
Each charter school has the autonomy to hire staff that fit its program. Gates, for example, hires teachers with specialized certification to work with English language learners. The school also hires a number of part-time teachers to reduce group sizes during core academic instruction and created a position for a teacher leader to oversee the school's complex array of programs. BASIS looks for teachers with strong academic backgrounds, but not necessarily teaching credentials, to teach their advanced courses. KIPP and Roxbury Prep look for young teachers with lots of energy. Roxbury Prep plans its program in anticipation of frequent teacher turnover; other schools, like Community of Peace, have stable faculties that have evolved the school's program over time.
One of the striking characteristics of these schools is their ability to provide a high teacher to student ratio. At Community of Peace Academy, there is one teacher per 16 students in the kindergarten and first grade. Elementary grades at the School of Arts and Sciences have two teachers, a lead teacher and an associate teacher for each multi-age classroom. Many of the schools have staff specialists, such as a school nurse, social worker, or counselor; high school or college placement director; parent liaison-translator; special education resource specialist; and librarian. Student needs and priorities determine the staffing and resource allocation.
In all cases, school leaders and staff agree that teachers need to buy into the program or find another home. At the Arts and Technology Academy, for example, turnover was high after the first year with a new principal, when the faculty came together around a vision and expectations increased. Staff not enthusiastic about the school's new demands were encouraged to leave, and 21 of the 41 teachers and instructional assistants did so. The following year, turnover was much lower.
Supportive School Environment
Common to these charter schools is a sense that school cares for each student as a family does for its children. At the School of Arts and Sciences, teachers work with the same students for two or more years in a row. This "looping" gives teachers more time to develop strong relationships with students and families and to understand and meet students' educational needs. At Oglethorpe Charter School, an individual "Personal Education Plan" is developed for all students to help monitor their progress toward achieving subject area objectives. There is a widely shared sense that students have specific needs and may require different levels of support in their learning. The focus at the School of Arts and Sciences on individual learning needs has attracted many students whose previous education experiences featured the highly individualized approaches of home schooling.
Students in these relatively small schools are taught to help and support one another. At KIPP Academy Houston, one of the school mantras posted in every classroom reads, "If a teammate needs help, we give. If we need help, we ask. Work Hard. Be Nice. Team always beats individual." At Community of Peace Academy, students are trained to become "Peace Builders," actively working to create a non-violent community based on trust and acceptance. Teachers make time for proactive classroom discussions about character and responsibility, coaching students to make thoughtful, caring decisions. As one parent said, "Community of Peace works because the teachers create a peaceful environment where the children feel secure and comfortable to learn. The teachers really care about the children." The tone in these charter schools is one of acceptance. For example, students at the School of Arts and Sciences are encouraged to express their creativity, knowing that their individuality will be supported, not teased. Several schools bring everyone together for Friday community meetings, singing together, giving theatrical presentations, and recognizing student achievements and contributions to help create a positive tone schoolwide.
Even in neighborhoods known for rough public schools, these charter schools are peaceful and safe, without violence or disruption among the students. Every school has developed strong expectations for student behavior and systems to help students to do their best. Most of these schools have a dress code or require uniforms. The School of Arts and Sciences is a notable exception, where students are free to wear blue hair and capes if they please. Student incentive programs at KIPP Academy (see figure 6) and Roxbury Prep keep students focused on being prepared for class and modeling excellent citizenship. At Oglethorpe, students must earn the privilege of clubs and extracurricular activities by keeping their grades up.
To be sure that no student "falls through the cracks," support for students extends from providing for their social and emotional well-being to providing systems for students who struggle academically. At Roxbury Prep, if students are not doing well in an academic class, or need help to master a concept, teachers will pull them for a tutorial during gym or elective periods. Several schools have "homework hotlines." Oglethorpe created a special class for five students at risk of failing the sixth grade, allowing them the opportunity to accelerate their learning and join the seventh grade mid-year. At BASIS, if students do not pass comprehensive exams in academic subjects, they are offered summer school courses to prepare them to retake the test at the end of the summer. At KIPP Academy Houston, students who have not completed their assignments are required to attend "Wall Street," staying after school, often late into the evening, until the work is finished. Such measures help these schools maintain their high expectations; parents are supportive and students recognize that they are learning to take responsibility for themselves.

Well, it was bound to happen.
Sure enough, soon after it was announced that Charlie Hunnam and Dakota Johnson were cast to play the leads in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey, an online petition was created in hopes of getting the roles recast.
In fact, nearly 18,000 fans have already signed the petition that specifically asks (or would that be demands?) that Matt Bomer and Alexis Bledel be cast ASAP.
The petition at Change.org reads: "Matt Bomer is the PERFECT DESCRIPTION OF CHRISTIAN GREY AND ALEXIS BLEDEL IS THE PERFECT ACTRESS TO REPRESENT ANASTASIA STEELE and if THEY ARE NOT, NOBODY WILL BE And I read the whole trilogy and I can assure that Matt is the perfect actor for this movie and Alexis too. So please PLEASE, all of the GREYsessed and Bomerettes in the world NEED those actors. They always will be for us the Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. WE CAN DO ANYTHING GUYS, ANYTHING."
Of course, some folks are quite content with Hunnam and Johnson, namely author E.L. James herself.
"I am delighted to let you know that the lovely Dakota Johnson has agreed to be our Anastasia in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey," James tweeted on Monday, Sept. 2, later adding, "The gorgeous and talented Charlie Hunnam will be Christian Grey."
A source also told E! News that James is "very happy" about the selection of Hunnam, saying, "She is obsessed with Charlie's work!"

February 25, 1946 - September 30, 2013
Middletown, NY
Harry A. York, 67, a longtime resident of Middletown, NY, died suddenly at home on September 30, 2013. The son of the late Harry W. York and Adella Gregory, he was born on February 25, 1946, in Liberty, NY.
Harry's life will be remembered for his many years of public service. Enlisting in the Air Force in 1965, he served in Vietnam as well as numerous assignments in Europe, the Far East, and the US. After 12 years of active duty, he moved his young family to Middletown, NY, where he began his career as a letter carrier at the Middletown Post Office, serving his customers until retiring in 2004. During this time, he enlisted in the Air National Guard at Stewart Airport and served an additional 12 years, retiring in 1997 with the rank of Tech Sergeant while receiving the Meritorious Service Medal for his service to his country. After a 1-week vacation, he started his next career as a dispatcher with the Middletown Police Department, where he was employed until his death, taking great pride in assisting the officers.
Harry was a loving husband, happily married for 44 years, a devoted father to his two daughters, a loyal co-worker and a caring friend. His greatest joy was spending time with his grandson. Below his tough exterior was a kind, gentle man who was first to offer help to anyone who needed it and he touched those he encountered in his own special way.
He is survived by his wife, Andrea; his daughter, Melissa Carabetta and her husband, Dave, and grandson, Andrew; his son-in-law, Craig Coderre; two aunts: Winifred Miller and Esther Carter; sister-in-law, Amelia Nilsen and her husband, Tore; and niece, Monica Nilsen Jenssen and her husband, Orjan, and their son, Tobias. He was predeceased by his brother, Robert; daughter, Jennifer York Coderre, and grandchildren: Sophia and James Carabetta.
Visitation will take place at Applebee-McPhillips Funeral Home in Middletown on Friday, October 4th, from 2 to 4 and 5 to 9 p.m. Pastor Peter Rustico will conduct a funeral service at the funeral home at 7:30 p.m. on Friday evening. Church services and burial, with full Military Honors, will be held at Arlington National Cemetery at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can also be made to the Middletown Police Benevolent Association, Operation Homefront, and the USO.

Snippets are minimal stand-alone programs that demonstrate specific techniques or functionality. Often a small example is the easiest way to understand how to use a particular feature. (If you are looking for large examples, like ControlExample, see the SWT Examples, and if you are programming with JFace, you may find these JFace Snippets useful).
Snippets also help isolate problems. The best way to report an SWT bug is to write your own snippet showing the problem and paste it into the bug report. For a snippet template, see the "Hello World" example.
Note that the examples here are often edited for brevity rather than completeness. They are intended to guide the reader towards the correct solution, rather than be finished products. These snippets are tested against the HEAD stream and may sometimes reference new API or require bug fixes from there.
To run a snippet, simply import SWT into your Eclipse workspace, create a new Java project that depends on SWT, copy the desired snippet to the clipboard, and paste it into a new snippet class. (If you are using eclipse 3.2 M1 or earlier, you need to create the class using the New Class wizard before pasting; but since 3.2 M1 you can simply select your project and paste, and the class is created for you). Run by selecting the class and then selecting Run > Run As > Java Application.
To contribute a new snippet, create a snippet contribution report in Bugzilla. Thanks in advance for your contribution!

Published March 18, 2013
Engineers, architects, government administrators, scientists and others met in Buffalo March 14, to discuss how Western New York can prepare for, fund and create green infrastructure projects.
The event, called the Western New York Green Infrastructure Forum, focused on land-use, transportation, energy, housing and other issues. It also included discussions on how communities can improve water quality, specifically as it relates to pollution caused by stormwater runoff.
Sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and UB, the forum included a range of speakers with experience in developing green infrastructure. Among them:
From helping investigate toxic chemicals in the Love Canal neighborhood of Niagara Falls in the 1970s to committing to be climate neutral by 2030, UB has a long history in environmental leadership. The forum is another example of its commitment to educate, inspire and enable people both on and off campus to create a more sustainable world.

The Fall of Superman
Sometimes I need a break, a break from my routine life. I get tired of being this super human person. Sometimes I need a break from being the shoulder everyone leans on. At times I need a shoulder to lean on but I have to suck up how I feel about any and everything because I fear that if someone catches wind that I actually don't have it all figured out, I'd appear weak. I'm not weak, I just need a break. Not a long break, just a break that lasts forever. At times I feel like superman, cape and all. I have gotten so used to not opening up and talking to people that I fear that I might have forgotten how to let someone be there for me but that's all I really want. Someone to be there for, me. It seems as if everyone has a hidden agenda these days. Like no one is as dependable as you need them to be. Feels like everything I say is written down and saved to be used against me and you can't really enjoy the company of another person when you feel like that. I want to let my guard down though, I miss how much I use to smile before I had to be strong for everyone. I am sorry. I have to start living for me now.

Potential Savings Crop Up in Farm Bill
Agriculture Measure Being Negotiated Could Provide Some of the Cuts Sought by Budget Committee
WASHINGTON—Lawmakers struggling to hash out a budget deal could find their job easier if Congress pulls off a feat nearly as difficult: passing the first new farm bill since 2008.
Separate versions of a farm bill approved this year by the Democratic-controlled Senate and GOP-led House would each produce billions of dollars in savings. And if the farm legislation can be meshed, that could help the 29-member budget conference committee, chaired by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R., Wis.). The committee is trying...

The Nesco/American Harvest Food Dehydrator & Jerky Maker: a lil contraption purchased last summer, waiting for winter experimenting (thinking about the extra garlic). There's of course some research to do, like the difference between drying and freeze-drying, what gets lost on the way, and how to test if it's dry enough to store safely for a while (fruit should bend, but a dried pea when hit with a rolling pin should…shatter!?), the usual…stuff. Then, lots of garlic slicing!

Pymble Ladies' College
In order to create a piece of ceramic art one must submit a raw clay form, a product of hours of labour, skill and knowledge, to the force of fire. But it is the unpredictable nature of wood-firing that adds a sense of excitement, even risk, to each piece. My work explores the traditional Japanese wood-firing process coupled with an expressionistic and abstract treatment of clay. This subversion from function is an attempt to celebrate clay's potential as an art form by tackling verticality, typically identified with a canvas or gallery space.
Define the relationship between the functional and aesthetic object. Does this definition differ when considering Japanese and Western traditions? Can an object be seen as an artwork if it also has a functional role?
In Japan in the early 20th century the modern concept of individualism encouraged many young artists to work in ceramics as a medium of self-expression. How have Suzuki Osamu and Matilda Leake expressed a sense of individualism in their work?
Research the techniques of ceramics. Create a body of work inspired by your research, consciously incorporating a sense of individualism and self-expression.
