Pitmaster Note: In the South, mouths drool whenever fried pies are mentioned. Traditionally they are fried in a pan with butter until crisp and brown. To heat things up, I have taken this traditional dessert to the backyard barbecue. By grilling the peaches prior to making the filling and then crisping the dough pocket over hot charcoal, you can make this Southern dessert a coal-fired masterpiece.
What You'll Need
- F or the Dough:
- 2 sticks butter
- 1/2 cup water (cold)
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup flour (for rolling out dough)
- For the Sugar Rub:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 pounds peaches (3 large or 4 medium)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1 tablespoon oil
How to Make It
- Cut butter into 1/2-inch cubes and refrigerate.
- Measure the water and refrigerate.
- In a small mixing bowl add flour and salt and mix well. Add the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Slowly add water, mixing continuously, until a dough ball is formed. Seal the dough ball in GLAD® ClingWrap and place in the refrigerator overnight.
- Sprinkle countertop or cutting board generously with flour. Remove dough from the refrigerator and place onto the floured prep area, roll out to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Cut the dough into 5- to 6-inch diameter circles. Removing extra dough from the prep area to re-roll and make more pie shells. Immediately peel, lift and flip the dough circles making sure they don't stick. Yield should be 8 pie shells.
- Preheat the grill until the internal temperature reaches 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a small bowl add the sugar rub ingredients and mix well.
- Remove the pit from the peaches and cut each peach into 8 wedges and remove skin.
- Generously coat the peach wedges with the sugar rub mix.
- Immediately place the peaches on the grill grate for 2 minutes on each side, or until they caramelize. Remove the peaches from the grill and dice them into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Place the peaches and butter into a medium mixing bowl. When the butter melts, add the brown sugar and flour and mix well. Stir in orange juice.
- Place 2 heaping tablespoons of peach filling onto the center of each circle of dough.
- Lightly moisten the edges of the dough with water. Fold the dough in half creating a half moon with peach filling. Gently press the pie edges together and crimp them with a fork.
- Prep the charcoal grill grate by using a grill brush and to brush on a light coat of oil.
- Transfer the pies to the grill and cook over direct heat, uncovered, for 3 minutes on each side or until the dough turns a crispy golden brown. Remove from the grill and serve.

Guided tour, St-Ursanne
"The tour begins on the old bridge, where we can see the beautiful big trout in the river below us. Some of the houses lie just outside the town wall, inviting us to pass through the old gate into the old town, towards the collegiate church. As we push open the two huge doors, we are struck by an extraordinary sound. Someone is rehearsing on the magnificent organ for a concert that very evening. Sitting on the pew and listening to the music, we feel as though we have been transported back through the centuries as we admire the architecture, the various chapels, the paintings and the chancel. Then we discover the cloister, whose archways invite us to walk through to reach the lapidarium with its ancient stone sarcophagi. Our guide explains that some of them date from the age of Charlemagne. The tour ends on an avenue under the lime trees, where we have the chance to rest on the benches and watch the goings-on in the medieval alleyways."

State Sen. Erin Houchin
District 47
Protecting and supporting our state's most vulnerable citizens is always a top priority for lawmakers. During the 2015 legislative session, the General Assembly approved legislation that takes an important step to combat infant mortality in our state.
Recently, the governor signed House Enrolled Act 1004 into law, which creates the Safety PIN (Protecting Indiana's Newborns) grant program that will be administered by the Indiana State Department of Health.
Editor's note: Tell City Junior-Senior High School eighth-graders recently traveled to Washington, D.C. The News asked students to reflect on the experience and will publish two student essays. The third and last appears today.
At first I did not think I wanted to go to Washington, D.C., with the Tell City Junior-Senior High School eighth grade class. I thought that it would be boring and that some of my friends would get on my nerves.
My heart goes out to the people of Nepal. With much sorrow, there is still God who loves everyone. We do not always understand why tragedies like this happen but as a believer in Jesus Christ there will always be the assurance that God is near and we are able to talk with him and have a relationship with the living God.
Jesus promised the "Spirit of truth" which abides in the hearts of Christians. As Christians we should love one another and show a true act of love toward all people on this earth.
Approximately 30 years ago, the common council in Tell City passed a noise ordinance, No. 544.
As far as I know, it has never been enforced with any warnings or fines. Why?
The ordinance covers motor vehicles, trucks, mufflers, "music" boom boxes, etc. Noise level limit can be measured on a distance of not less than 15 feet from the noise source.
When it can be heard more than half a mile away, I would say that's a violation.
Our streets were not intended for hot rodding, drag racing or excessive noise.
To all letter carriers who collected food and other items for the food pantries, we extend a big thank you.
Also to the people who were so kind as to donate food and other items for distribution to area food pantries, we are very thankful. All donations are given to the less fortunate families in our area. Thanks again to all who gave to this great project.
Co-manager, Martin's Cloak Food Pantry

Several weeks ago, at the annual meeting of Leadership Perry County, Tom McCart said something worth writing about. He talked about the need for the community to generate more entrepreneurs to create new businesses and to guide existing ones forward.
What kind of lawmakers pass legislation that penalizes law-abiding citizens in an effort to ease the angst of lawbreakers?
Our kind, apparently.
Come July 1, it will be illegal in Indiana for slower motorists, even those for whom "slow" is the legal speed limit, to drive in the left lane if faster-moving traffic wants to pass.
As yet another busy school year comes to a close, we wanted to take the time to acknowledge the following businesses for their continued support and generosity to Cannelton Elementary staff and students.
Thank you to Wall's Drive-Inn, Dairy Queen, Iron Gate Pizza, Tom's Circle 'S', Ponderosa, Tell City Cinemas, Wendy's and Arby's.

Every day a lot of mobile games are released and that creates a big problem for gamers, they do not know "what's really a good game". In today's article, I'm going to introduce you to free mobile games that still have a fascinating and engaging style.
Battlejack promises to bring gamers a creative and classic way of playing extremely attractive. The player has the task of fighting the mighty evil powers to protect the peace of the Midgard myth.
During the Battlejack experience, players will have to collect, merge and evolve the heroes to survive the 100 challenging levels with difficulty increasing over time. Battlejack's gameplay mechanics are inspired by the legendary Blackjack game combined with the role-playing game. This made Battlejack so attractive, completely different from other card games of the same genre. Specifically, the player will be given 2 random cards and is allowed to draw more cards so that the total score on the cards does not exceed 21 so that the character can attack the opponent.
Cards are also divided into four elements including Fire, Water, Earth and Light / Dark, which are mutually immaterial, helping players to come up with unique tactics.

- Size: 207 MB.
- Cost: Free.

Bitgram is a new puzzler-type mobile game, with a fairly novel gameplay style that resembles the legendary "Tetris" before. The player's task is to move blocks of objects of a certain color and put them in the right place to create a homogeneous mass.
The game requires players to be smart and fast to eat so many points. The only motivation of the game is that you have to try to break your own record in previous games. However, unlike the games that require the speed of the player, Bitgram brings a sense of relaxation and comfortable for players. It does not put pressure on a system timer. You will come back and play more because it is fun.

3.Cat Bird!
Cat Bird is designed with extremely lovely images on the classic Pixel graphics of a platformer game. The player's task is to help the "Cat Bird" to overcome the challenges of more than 40 different levels.
Cat Bird is a very interesting game. You will control Cat Bird with virtual buttons on the phone screen. The two buttons allow you to go left or right with a third button for jumping or surfing. Note: You will have to use this surf button many times in the game. Cat Bird cannot jump high but it can skip a short distance. Take advantage of these features to complete the game.
- Developer: Ryan Carag.
- Size: 59.1 MB.
- Cost: Free.

Developed and released by Konig Studios, Clans is a mobile adventure game mixed with tactical and role-playing that allows players to create their own powerful army. The player has the task of fighting the bloodthirsty zombies to rescue the city from their invasion.
- Developer: Konig Studios, LLC.
- Size: 427 MB.
- Cost: Free.

Rainbonauts is also a game inspired by the Tetris-shaped myth, with its colorful graphics. The player's mission is to play the role of a "rainbow astronaut" and move to galaxies to create beautiful rainbows.
The game has over 60 levels to challenge you along with countless achievements that you can collect. In addition, the game has an Endless Mode where players can challenge themselves.

Spring 2019 in Austin, Texas
Come on. You're rockin' this writing thing.
You tell stories. You teach awesome stuff. You entertain, you inspire, you inform.
Writing is your super-power.
Whether you're starting your first book or have just published your thirtieth, you're a working artist, fueled by your vision.
But when you look around, you see a bunch of people who just don't "get" you.
Maybe you dread Aunt Mabel's question, "How's your little writing thing going?" Or the baffled stares from your critique group when you say you don't want a New York agent, because you're smart enough to crave creative control and better royalties.
Unfortunately, it can get lonely, being an indie author. Outsiders don't understand. Even worse, they look down their noses (probably while they're making a spot for their Man Booker prize in their new home in a box under a bridge somewhere). They don't get that a writer can make a great living … if they're your kind of smart.
But you're not alone. There are artists who get you.
Smarter Artists.
Next spring, 240 writers just like you will descend on Austin, Texas for two days of next-level learning. Two days of sharing exactly what works and what doesn't. Two days spent exploring the future of publishing and discovering the secrets to finding rabid fans.
At the Smarter Artist Summit, hosted by authors and industry leaders Sean Platt, David W. Wright, and Johnny B. Truant, you'll be among writers who believe in abundance. Writers who passionately learn and compulsively share. Writers who toss around wild ideas, engage in bold new experiments, and share their failures and the hard won lessons to keep you from making the same mistakes. And who sing some mean karaoke.
Sure, we have a great lineup of speakers (we'll tell you more about them below). But the big payoff of the Smarter Artist Summit is the other smarter artists you'll meet.
At the 2016 Summit, we hosted writers from right around the corner and halfway across the globe. We got to know non-fiction authors and novelists. Horror and romance writers sat shoulder to shoulder. Veterans encouraged novices. Everyone contributed to the community.
We're all super-heroes at the Smarter Artist Summit. You belong with us.
Join us on April 26 and 27, 2017 for the annual Smarter Artist Summit at the JW Marriott in Austin Texas.
Unlike conferences that use big-name speakers to draw as many people through the doors as possible, we believe in cultivating a community of Smarter Artists who believe in abundance and who cheer each other on.
We also believe in introducing you to the voices who might not have the biggest platforms, but who have fresh, smart perspectives on how you can get smarter, faster.
Jenna Soard has traveled the planet designing, teaching, and making piles of bank for her clients (including Nike). And now she's an entrepreneur with a passion to help creatives brand themselves like pros.
A former university professor with a degree in Multimedia Design and an MBA in Marketing, you might expect her to be a bit stiff. But there's no tweed in Jenna's suitcase. She'll always choose adventure, moving from Portland to Tokyo — or wherever she can find a fantastic AirBnB to call home.
David Gaughran is Irish and lives in Dublin, where it rains every day and conversation is a sport. He is the author of the popular self-publishing guide Let's Get Digital and the ground-breaking marketing guide Let's Get Visible – which decoded the Amazon algorithms for the first time and showed writers how to tweak their marketing campaigns to capitalize on the Kindle Store's powerful recommendation engine.
David is also the author of the historical novels Liberty Boy, Mercenary, and A Storm Hits Valparaiso, and spends much of his time shining light on the shadowy underbelly of the publishing establishment for the good of authors everywhere.
Kalvin Chinyere, M.D. M.B.A., grew up reading comics and dreaming of being a new kind of superhero. His parents were convinced that being a doctor was superhero enough, but Dr. Kal never forgot or abandoned his childhood dreams.
Over the years, those dreams transformed into a desire to promote new heroes, particularly African-American male heroes — through story and in the community through intentional entrepreneurship.
His debut novel, Burning Uncle Tom's Cabin, reimagines Harriet Beecher Stowe's classic, featuring strong characters who break out of the old stereotypes.
If technology and creativity got married and had a baby, it'd be Christine. And she loves helping people get things done.
She spent over twenty years in business, global project management, and marketing positions before ripping off the corporate veil to be a writer. But smart business is still the blood in her veins.
She's worked with authorpreneurs over the past four years, helping them to build and launch over a million dollars' worth of books and courses, all while getting up at the ass-crack of dawn to write stories of horrible people doing terrible things to each other.
Clark Chamberlain may not be the most interesting man in the world, but you definitely might think so after you meet him. He's lived on two continents, fought in the Iraq war, built homes in the shadows of the Tetons, edited a thriller between live artillery fire missions, and tore his lunch cooler from the mouth of a bear.
His passions have taken him around the world and back again. Along the way he discovered his purpose in the power of story. Clark's story expertise in fiction is evident in his books, his teaching, and his superb developmental editing, but Clark is also working in nonfiction to help people break free of the negative stories holding them back.
Chris Fox is a former software developer and full-time author who's found the "formula" for indie success: find a genre you love AND that readers are climbing over each other to read.
And because he's a generous dude, he's shared his author-success-wizardry in Write to Market and 5,000 Words Per Hour. He's sold over ninety thousand books in less than two years, and wants to teach you to do the same.
What does the ticket price include?
The ticket price includes admission to the event — two full days of information from our brilliant speakers and connections with the most motivated Smarter Artists on the planet.
We'll have killer amenities like chairs and air. We might even have water so you don't shrivel to the size of a banana chip during the event.
Oh. And there are bathrooms. Like indoors. And for those of you who were with us last year … there are MORE THAN TWO TOILETS. (Yeah, for real!)
So what does the ticket price not include?
It does not include use of a helper monkey during the event. It does not include skateboarding lessons or a free unicorn tattoo. It also does not include meals, parking, travel or lodging expenses, or any add-on workshops.
Are there Sponsors for the Summit?
We *only* have accepted sponsorship from companies we already use and love. It's crazy important that we not appear to endorse anyone we can't actually stand behind. That said, you may see the Draft2Digital around at the Summit. We've worked with them for years and are thrilled to partner with them for this event!
How do I get to the hotel/around town?
Austin is located on Earth, where standard modes of transportation are fairly consistent.
We do allow cars in Austin, whether it's your own, one you've rented, or one you've hired for an individual ride (however, we do have some unique regulations which means Uber and Lyft don't operate here. Instead use Fasten, Fare, or an old fashioned taxi.)
You can also ride a unicycle, a pogo stick, or simply use your feet (and join the SA fitbit group). It's really not that deep, y'all.
Where should I stay?
I hear there are still spots to lay out a sleeping bag under the Bat Bridge.
Yes, the actual hotel is luxurious, but no one is required to stay there. In fact, they were only able to offer us a very small block of rooms, so it's likely that most people won't be able to stay there.
There's a wide range of nearby options for nearly every budget. We are reasonably confident in your ability to use the Internet and a map to find something that will work for you.
What about sharing rooms?
We're all introverts, and we can't possibly imagine spending even one more hot minute around humans after a day of peopleing. But if you like being around other humans (or you just care about your budget), you're not alone.
Once you've picked up your ticket, you'll get an invitation to an attendees-only Facebook group, where you can meet other insane extroverts who are looking for even more people-time. We can't manage the coordination of room sharing or guarantee that one of y'all isn't a finger licker, but if you're willing to take the risk, well, we'll give you a forum to connect.
What's the parking situation? Because last year, I almost died having to ride shuttles with everyone else.
Welp, here's the deal. Austin is full of cars. And people. But mostly cars (including cars that drive themselves. Noah Fucking West.).
Knowing this, the friendly folks at the JW Marriott built a kick-ass parking garage. Only issue is that parking garages cost money to build and maintain, so they kinda don't let people in without a mandatory donation. Or more accurately, they don't let your car back out without a few bucks.
But at least you won't have to ride a shuttle bus with a bunch of crazy writers. I mean, who wants to do that?!
Volunteers / How can I help?
Wear shoes in Dave's presence.
Watch your email for a call for help a little closer to event time. The venue will be providing minions, so we don't anticipate the same intense setup/teardown needs we had last year, but Amy will certainly need someone to rub her feet.
Refund/cancellation policy
Tickets are non-refundable, but they are transferrable. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, you're welcome to bequeath your ticket to your favorite survivor. Just make sure to let us know before you turn feral.
Are we selling video / audio recording?
Um, then why would you come? Really…why?
But seriously, no. The magic is in being in the room where it happens.
Can I be an asshole?
Well, we have a very strict "one-asshole" rule, and Dave has already claimed the spot. You can fight him for it, but you will lose. But you're here and still reading, so you're probably not a jerk anyway.
So pretty much no, you can't — because you aren't like that anyway. Besides, the Smarter Artist community is worth protecting, so if you're a douche, Amy will light you on fire (or someone will do it for her because we all love her THAT MUCH).
Will you have vegan/gluten-free/paleo/treenutfree/legumefree/grainfree/sugarfree snacks? All organic sweeteners? almondmilk/soymilk/soyfree/dairyfree/chemicalfree creamer for coffee?
Christine is still waiting for all-natural, organic Diet Dr. Pepper. Until that's available, we'll have water, coffee, tea, and a variety of snacks, but we can't accommodate everything. If you have special dietary needs, you might want to tuck something in your bag.
Will you pre-chew my snacks for me?
Absolutely. Just flag Amy down and she'll take care of you like a bird-mama.
Can we plan a meet-up??
No. No one is allowed to speak to anyone else without Amy's direct supervision. Ever.
But seriously, go for it. There will be a lot going on, and we love it when the community organizes fun and unique ways to connect. We can't keep track of it all, but feel free to reach out in the Facebook group and plan/organize to your heart's content.
How should I say hi to Dave?
Establish (brief) eye contact from a distance, then begin your approach with your arm slightly raised in a pre-fist-bump position, to signify that you do not intend to initiate a full handshake or hug. Keep your interaction to a minimum, knowing Dave would rather not be talking to you in the first place, and that there are now 10 more filthy people in line behind you.
Proof that Dave can be successfully hugged, if approached correctly (like a hippogriff):
Here are just a few things SAS2016 attendees had to say:
Meeting industry names (you only hear about) and getting close friends and stories that you never dreamed possible. Finding, for once in my life, that I was part of a 'tribe' of like minded people. It was home in a heartbeat.
-Michael Anderle
I made the most incredible in-person connections with people I only knew "by name" (and admired from afar). Of course I learned a lot, but it was hanging with "my peeps" I enjoyed the most.
-Honoree Corder
I loved meeting an entirely new group of author professionals that I did not know existed. I expected a few gems but found a gold mine.
-Ben Hale
(Note: Ben Hale learned and recited the name of every single person in the room, and it wasn't just a parlor trick. He actually likes people THAT MUCH!)
Being around other like-minded, positive, creative people is the main reason to go. It's the best conference I've ever attended because the people in the audience were every bit as amazing as the speakers at the front of the room. And it goes deeper than that. When I arrived, I didn't know anyone, so I was surrounded by strangers. By the time the Summit ended, I was surrounded by friends. The quality of the community that's grown around the SAS is the best I've ever experienced.
-Gary Jonas
My FB newsfeed got a lot more upbeat. It was so refreshing to meet others who were actually out there trying to make cool things happen. That really helped cut through all of the political posts and bad news. SAS is good for your mental health.
-Danielle Corley
I knew a few attendees "virtually" but I'd never met anyone there in person. By the time I left I'd made business connections, but–more importantly–I'd connected with fellow writers who I still keep in touch with today. I've been to a lot of writing conferences and genre fan conventions. SAS is the warmest, most welcoming of them all.
-Sara Rosett
Getting the romance gang together in person and then forming a FB group where we can share and be accountable, support each other and kick ass, has been awesome for me, given in Thailand I don't come across a lot of romance authors (!).
-Ellen Bard
The feeling in the room was electric but friendly. I appreciated being at an event that wasn't a rehash of the stale self-pub advice we've heard elsewhere. The SAS speakers shared their results but also challenged us to think of new ways to publish and reach audiences. At the same time, while innovation and thinking big were a dual focus, everything seemed accessible…I assumed it would address indie authors at an intermediate-to-advanced stage, but met quite a few folks who hadn't published yet.
-Shannon Morgan
I have a few things that might be helpful for potential attendees who are just starting out—or would have to fly in from another country:
It's great if you're living in a place where indie publishing isn't as advanced as it is in the States. In my case, suddenly this whole endeavor of indie publishing started to look like a real career option. I began to take it a lot more seriously and spend more time on it. Also, I felt that I finally found a community I really fit into.
You can form connections who can help you on the way (accountability partners, editors, cover designers…). And since you're meeting these people in person and make friends with them, the whole issue of trust (that's always a biggie for me when I'm working with contractors) goes out of the window.
If you're just starting out, you'll be putting yourself in the company of people who are further along the way than you are, and that can only benefit you. You'll learn so much by mere osmosis, just through spending time with your fellow attendees and listening to them. It might feel good to be the smartest person in the room, but it doesn't help you grow your skills, so I think you should always put yourself in the company of people who are better than you are at what you're trying to accomplish.
Last but not least: You just have to experience the admirable hospitality of Texans. I had more people buying me drinks or even whole meals in the 10 days I spent in Austin than I had in the last 10 years combined. Wherever I went, just about everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful.
-Jan Schlösser
I got more out of the community and meeting people then I did from the actual presenters. I don't know how you would market that or try to enhance that next year but the community is what really made the SAS special.
The presenters and that content was kinda of just icing on something really awesome. Obviously Sterling & Stone set the tone and has fostered the community so that it could be what it is and if you market anything to those on the fence it really should be the community.
It's just nice to be around people who are creative and have been where you are. It's nice to listen to their stories and hear what has worked for them and what hasn't. It was nice to talk to people who make time to create the things they want to create instead of talking to people who just talk about doing but never do.
It was also a kick in the butt. Going and seeing all these other people who are DO-ERS was shocking. It was a room filled with like 99.4% people who get stuff done. I was so impressed by the determination and commitment that other authors put into their work. It made me want to work harder.

Core training
Unless you are crushing V7+ roofs, your weakest muscles are most likely your core.
As a climber this is ironic because climbing involves so much core strength, but I would argue your core is one of the hardest things to improve upon through everyday climbing (unless you do nothing but roofs). To this point, I would like to introduce you to a great exercise that should help to rock that core into shape, which should in turn greatly improve your climbing.
Remember that your core is essentially all the muscles in your trunk excluding the arms and legs - we're talking back, chest, lower back, abs, glutes, groin - all of 'em.
The best whole-core exercises that I've come across was recommended by Will Gadd - he called them "knee-to-elbows". They go a little something like this:
- Find something to grab (ideally a chinup bar, could be rock rings, a hangboard, just give yourself room in all directions) and dead-hang in pullup position (palms facing forward), shoulder-width apart.
- Now pull up until your elbow is somewhere between 160-degrees and 140-degrees (i.e. not-quite-straight...you want the muscles engaged).
- Curl your knees and stomach slowly upwards to touch your elbows in a nice smooth arc, and back down again. Make sure both stages are fully controlled. This is the primary component of the exercise.
- Ensure that as you do these you are taking care to not swing, and keep your arms as stable as possible. essentially your goal is to keep your shoulders as still as possible and rotate around that axis.
- You should feel this everywhere, but especially your mid/lower back (generally the weakest part of your core)...if you don't feel it, either you have the core of a V7+ roof climber, or your technique is a little off.
- Don't be surprised if you cannot do very many of these before failure when you first start, but stick with it and you will find improvement very quickly. For the sake of training, I would say find your 1-set failure limit and back the reps off by 1/2 to pack more sets in, or else do pyramids up to your limit. Gadd defines a "strong" core as being able to do 15 in a row, so consider working towards that.

Thursday, when I was hanging out with Asia, my dear friend Teryn called to confirm details for our weekend day trip to The Huntington. As we were finishing up, Teryn said good bye, like a normal person, and what did I say? Love you, bye. I wasn't sure how to recover from that. Did a bit of backpedaling while both Asia and Teryn had a good chuckle.
Just be aware that when I talk to you on the phone, I may finish by saying "Love ya, bye:" it's what I do. Don't take it personally (unless you're family, in which case please do take it personally, I really do mean it).

As the daylight fades, the winds pick up, and we prepare to settle in for another long Northwest winter, readers may find it an odd time to think about bicycling. I will reluctantly admit that the riding season may be winding down, and snow-covered streets may soon end it altogether. But, as gardeners and baseball fans can attest, winter is the time to argue, plan, and dream about next year. So, let's start the conversation about what we want our community to look like and how we can get there. The "hot stove league" is just warming up.
Viewing the world from the seat of my bicycle, as I often do, puts me in a different frame of mind from most folks. I often compete for access and space with powerful, multi-ton behemoths possessing minds and agendas of their own. Sometimes I feel like a very small animal indeed. In fact, I often look at human activity as though I were studying a complex, exotic species; for isn't that what we are? Part of my undergraduate studies included wildlife corridor ecology, and I find it a useful lens through which to view personal transportation. In the case of commuting, let us argue that we are examining human migratory and dispersal patterns through a mixed-use landscape.
One common trait with animals, and in this humans are no exception, is the tendency to take the easiest route possible between two points. The needs to conserve energy and save time are prime directives in the wilderness, and serve to guide animal behavior. Obstacles and impediments are to be avoided, and helpful resources like food, water and shelter should be nearby. No wonder, then, that valleys and riverbanks have been such popular travel routes since time out of mind. It's not just the scenery; it's the convenience. The "path of least resistance" is the shortest, safest, and healthiest way to go. This is part of the reason why wildlife corridors and "critter crossings" have become a popular solution for reducing human-wildlife conflict and loss.
The same principle applies within the human sphere too. Sidewalks, crossings, and multi-use paths are pieces of infrastructure designed to provide safe access points and travel options. However, it is all too easy for auto-centric thinking to dominate city and highway planning, choking off vital avenues for alternative transportation. Asking a pedestrian or cyclist to cross four unmarked lanes of traffic is like asking a deer to swim a river. They'll do it once or twice if they have to, but it's not likely to become a habit. Study after study reveals that the number-one impediment to people getting out on their bicycles in their own communities is their concern about safety.
"But wait!" you say. "What about the bike paths? Why can't riders just stay on them?" I'm glad you brought that up. The Grand Avenue Greenway and the Bill Chipman Trail are both wonderful assets and get their fair share of use, but they don't always go where they are needed. Try going from Terre View Drive to Bishop Boulevard on a bike sometime and you'll see what I mean. There are a few of us who are fearless or foolish enough to navigate the narrow streets and dicey intersections along the way, but most recreational riders I know prefer not to play in traffic. Getting around the WSU campus is more of the same story. Bike lanes appear and disappear randomly, multi-use paths shrink into sidewalks with no warning, and the sheer density of automotive traffic is rather intimidating.
I intend to address specific trouble spots in a future essay. My point here is to put the issue into a different perspective, and to try and get interested parties thinking "outside the lines" when it comes to the future of transportation in Pullman.

With local authority, public health preparedness budgets are being restricted which is leading to an increased urgency to demonstrate a return on investments in relation to public health preparedness interventions, as well as explore methods of decision-support for public health preparedness priority-setting. The Chair of NACCHO's Preparedness Planning, Outcomes and Measures workgroup is conducting a survey to measure the impact of value-based decision making on public health preparedness. This survey is aimed at those involved in making hard choices about how to spend public health preparedness budgets and how to maximize the public health contribution of wider budgets. This survey is designed to produce results that will help public health professionals make better decisions on public health preparedness spending.
The survey will take no longer than 10 minutes to complete and will ask questions regarding use of economic tools such as cost-effectiveness analysis, cost-benefit analysis, return on investment, and "the business case," in prioritizing how to spend public health preparedness budgets.

The Development of critical thinking in children.
Early childhood — a very short span in the life of a person. But during this time the child acquires significantly more than for the rest of his life. Many psychologists and educators believe that the most important is the age from birth to three years.
Famous Japanese specialist on early development Masaru Ibuka in his book "After three late" tells the story of how early life experiences affect the future destiny of man. The fastest leapfrog development occurs just at this time. But after three years the child continues to learn about the world. So the fact remains — all children of preschool age are unusually sensitive to all kinds of influences. If we do not notice the results of some impacts, this does not suggests that they are not. Preschoolers are ready to chat, learn new skills, develop existing abilities. The task of parents — to put them on the right path.
Visual-figurative thinking begins to emerge in children at the age of one and a half years and finally formed to five years. Using such thinking, the child is able to solve different tasks with real objects. This means that a child aged four to five Continue reading
Aggression in young children
Many children go through a period between two and four years – when the beats and biting is a form of communication, often the only one to Express this or that in their condition, for example: "I am angry" or "I want this." Not having even the power of speech and, thus, not knowing how else to Express their wishes and requests, they tend to resort to using his fists or sharp baby teeth. Despite the fact that this is a normal stage of child development, such aggressiveness can turn into a habit. Children who, growing up, learn to suppress their aggression and to communicate with others using oral speech, often become real fighters. Through the fights, the children can produce their own things to which they aspire, but it will make them outcasts in the children's company and other kids will be afraid of them.
If your child is in this phase of development, he may soon pass her. To bring this point (and to help protect other children!), you can use the tips that will help your child get rid of aggressive habits.
Show attention.
If you see your child, Continue reading
The Development of cognitive activity
The question of development of cognitive activity was addressed by many researchers and practitioners. But here came my turn to delve into the study of this problem. And therefore your attention I would like to present the experience of implementation in the educational and developmental activities of the Department in such form of cognitive activity of preschool children, interactive tour.
It seems appropriate to begin our narrative with some theoretical aspects, on which I relied when designing tour programs and which, in principle, and prompted the choice of this form of sightseeing.
In the first place. What is cognitive activity? Under cognitive activity of preschool children should understand the activity, manifested in the learning process. It is expressed in passionate about making information, in an independent search for answers to the questions, in the manifestation of creativity. Also an important characteristic of cognitive activity is the ability to assimilate the ways of knowing and to use the obtained knowledge in the future.

ECLIPSE IDE - Tutorial Adding a Class to the Package After Creating the Test
Creating a New Class for Our Car Rental Agency
Chipmunk had decided to start a car rental agency. He went around town and created a relationship with a number of potential clients. Since he was eager to make some money, he started out creating his BillingAddress class first. He thought he would use it for advertising as well when he was ready to go public. He had enough interest from potential customers that he went out and bought lots of cars, but only one of each model. (This fact will become important later.)
Now, he needs to have a Car class added to his application. The developer he hired believes in the "test first" methodology and has proposed creating the test method, testCar, first. Chipmunk is skeptical but he said, "Go ahead!".
In this tutorial we'll see how it went.
Creating the CarTest JUnit Test
To create the CarTest JUnit test, one first selects the package in the project root folder and right clicks on New > JUnit test. When the menu for the new JUnit test appears we enter the name, CarTest. The "Class under test field:" is left blank as no class is associated with this test as of yet. .Click on Finish. and the new test case is created. These actions are illustrated in the following snapshots.
Creating the JUnit Test
Filling in the Test Case Details
The test case coding is rather simple. We create a new object of the Car class and create calls to the static method assertEquals for the car model, model year, and the name of the car manufacturer.
There are several things to note in this example. First, the constructor initializes the model field; and secondly, notice that the indicates all of the assignment statements are flagged with errors. Finally notice that in the assertEquals method calls we use field names than the get calls as used when we created the AddressBilling test class.
Running the Test
Although we have errors in the test, ECLIPSE will still allow it to be run. The test is run by selecting Run> JUnit Test. A warning popup appears, click on Proceed.
Not surprisingly, the test fails. If you look at the messages, ECLIPSE reported that "Car cannot be resolved to a type". This just means that there is no Car class that ECLIPSE know about, we have not created it yet.
Output of Failed Test
Fixing the Problem with Help from ECLIPSE
If you hover over the word car in the source. ECLIPSE has a number of suggestions for how to fix the proble. This "quick fix" assistance can help to resolve most problems although at time ECLIPSE is baffled as to what to do and will just report a message, "No suggestions".
In this case, we know that the problem is that the class does not exist, so we just double click an the option and the ECLIPSE window to create a new class opens automatically. When ECLIPSE proposes a "quick fix", sometimes there some sort of subtle problem with the proposed fix. In this case there is such a problem. ECLIPSE proposed creating a class (this is great) but the destination indicated is to create the class in the test folder. This is NOT what we want. We want the the class to be created in our src folder. Easily corrected, but it serves a good example that one should look over any "quick fix" suggestion content.
All we need to do is Browse and click on src. ECLIPSE then proceed to create the Car class "stub". as illustrated below.
ECLIPSE has Created the "Missing" Class
Return to the Car Test Program & Correct Errors
Looking at CarTest.java we see a number of errors. In each case we will let ECLIPSE "quick fix" help us to resolve them.
Hovering over the line:
Car c1 = new Car("sunfire");
ECLIPSE has two suggestions. The appropriate one is to create the constructor method, which ECLIPSE proceeds to do and opens the view to that source.
Not that if we do not perform a save on Car.java at this point when we return to CarTest.java, the error persists. Thus, when correcting errors always remember to perform a save for any suggested code change at that point. It helps to prevent any confusion. If the code change had a side effect resulting in an error you would know that the code change save had some adverse effect. Associating the suggested code change with the side effect might help you resolve the resulting problem.
The following three statements:
are resolved by hovering over them. The ECLIPSE "quick fix" suggestions differ, but the appropriate action of creating fields is the same. Note that the field type should be set to String or int ih these cases.
The snapshots which follow indicate our process through the error messages.

The Car Class After Adding the Fields
The Completed Constructor Method
ECLIPSE Creates the "getters" and "setters"
Wrap Up and What's Next
This tutorial featured the "test first" method. A test case was developed before the class was written.
ECLIPSE we observed can do a great deal in helping in this "code on the go approach".After specifying our field requirements and expected results, ECLIPSE through its quick fix suggestions helped us move from a test case with no associated class. To the complete class definition and have a successful test run.
As for what's next. There are several minor points that it seem a good idea to defer discussion on which we will address in the next tutorial which will focus on the relationship between classes based on a common field.

As I See It: When New York City Was New York City, Part II
Flash back to 1953, in Astoria—my new residence at that time. World War II is a thing of the past and a fleeting memory. The Great Depression is also a fleeting memory. Gone is the Office of Price Administration (OPA) and the accompanying rationing via coupons, and, to a lesser degree, tokens. Jobs abound. Good-paying jobs. Some really good-paying jobs. The worm had indeed turned. Our great nation is experiencing booming economic times, along with superpower status due, in part, to a combination of democracy and capitalism. Perhaps even more important was the Marshall Plan, devised by General George C. Marshall. The World War II period had converted our nation into a manufacturing giant. But the economic boom was about to come to a halt, since there weren't enough buyers of the goods and services we could produce. Enter the aforementioned Marshall's plan of reviving the economies of Europe and Asia in order to develop markets for our goods and services. And, guess what? It brought prosperity beyond belief to our nation for nearly 40 years.
The '50s and '60s were understandably periods when it seemed that nothing could go wrong, everything was going right, and anything was possible; it was a special era. The relentless pressure of war and personal and economic sacrifices were now history. In a very real sense, it was a time of innocence. WWII was just a two-letter Roman numeral. The Hamptons were still for rich waspy families living on Park Avenue. Korea was also a thing of the past. The basketball point-shaving scandals didn't apply to my friends who I have dubbed the Boys of Killeen's. Jack Molinas was one of the few Greeks (I thought) who had gone bad. It almost was a reincarnation of the Roaring Twenties—every day brought joy, excitement, laughs, new challenges, etc. It was also a time of great friendship, good times, perhaps excessive drinking, beautiful girls and great athletes. "Eddie My Love," a haunting melody that is still with me, was the jukebox favorite over several summers. There were other tunes during that period. In addition to "Eddie My Love," there was "Sh-Boom" (Crew Cuts) and "Earth Angel" (the Penguins). Rock 'n' Roll had arrived. The song "You'll Never Walk Alone" was also bothersome at the time since I found myself walking home alone every night. Likewise was the tune "You Belong to Me" (Jo Stafford), since there was no one I could claim belonged to me. Add this to my favorite tune from the late 1940s, Russ Morgan's "So tired" (I'll wait forever dear). But along came the Chordettes with "Mr. Sandman" who indeed did bring me a dream—a Bayside Queen named Mary Kathleen Tonry—and my lonesome nights were over. I fortunately disregarded Damon Runyon's advice, "fall in love with an heiress if you must fall in love."
Here are five of my memories of that era—memories that will never leave me. They center around Killeen's Tavern, my basketball team, Rockaway Beach and (of course) my favorite.
1. Killeen's Tavern
Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a small bar named Killeen's Tavern on a side street in Astoria. The tavern's history dates back to about 1934 (the author's birth year). It was owned by a burly Irishman. The whole place was no bigger than 30 feet by 15 feet, half of it designed like a half-moon bar, and the other half consisting of a few tables, a jukebox, a telephone booth, a toilet that was always clogged up, and a kitchen that didn't work. Beer was 12 cents a glass, and a shot of rye was 45 cents. The local crowd had its colorful characters. Runyon would have loved this place. There was "Buster" the late night singer who crooned "Sweet Leylani," "Lorraine the Dancer," and "Cuz" the night bartender, "Oil Pan" Tom, the landlord Pete the Russian, Freddie "Spook" Stegman—the greatest sport birddog this side of the Mississippi, and dapper George Connelly, the Sunday bartender of 30 years who many believe James Cagney had copied his mannerisms from.
Then there was the day bartender—Pat Killeen himself. An impressive 6 foot 1 inch and burly 275-lb. man with a thick Irish brogue, who, when angry, would roll his black cigar from one end of his mouth to the other. Yes, he could intimidate if necessary. But he was a fair and open-minded individual, always with the best intentions at heart.
Who were the other inhabitants of the tavern? Here are some of their names: Scratch, Buddy, Gaylord (the author), Big Dan, The Whale, Jimmy the Greek, Steve the Greek, Weegie, The Rat, Vince the Prince, The Grey Fox, The Scavenger, The Buff, The Snake, The Brat, Tuto, Tex, Superman, Buster, The Hawk, The Cool, The Phantom, The Bant, The Weedler, Big Fitz, Red, Joey Hot Dog, Sparksy, Dixie, Jake the Weightlifter (all 95 lbs. of him), Bugsy, Louie The Lob, Filthy Phil, Tony Guido, etc. The girls included Mary Gloves, Marie the Dancer … perhaps it'd be best to stop here.
The Boys of Killeen's were the children of working-class parents who endured The Great Depression and survived the harsh times of that era. Although better off than their parents, the Boys of Killeen's were a group that appreciated good times, and were not nearly as security-conscious as their parents. It was a group that ultimately went on to succeed in the workplace, no doubt influenced by their New York City and Killeen's experiences.
2. The legendary Killeen's Tavern basketball team
I'll pass here since most of the details appeared in my book, "Basketball Coaching 101" (available on Amazon, $18).
3. Rockaway Beach
It was New York City's beach of beaches during that era. It was a period when many referred to the Rockaways as the Irish Riviera; interestingly, Jimmy Breslin described it as "where wood rots and people waste." There were numerous drinking establishments one block from the beach to accommodate the crowds. They included Murphy's and Gilroy's on 90th Street, the quartet of the Irish Circle, Rainbow Bar, Leitrim House and Mickey Carton's Mayo House on 103rd Street (he played the accordion while his sister, Mary, sang). Ruthie Morrissey, regularly featured at the Mayo House, captured and touched so many hearts. The Mayo House was a favorite of the senior folk, but it was Gildea's—famous for drinking, dancing and fighting—that the younger set frequented most. Further west was McNulty's and the White House on 109th Street and 110th Street, respectively. It was also a time I earnestly became interested in girls. At Gildea's, I remember watching, with envy, the Savoy, a dance I never quite mastered. The 108th Street basketball courts? I'll pass again since numerous details and memories are available elsewhere. Did I mention my book, "Basketball Coaching 101"?
4. The Queen
How many guys have married the girl of their dreams? Well, I did. We married in 1967 after a three-year courtship. Mary recently celebrated her 51st anniversary. It was dinner with the entire family at the Limani restaurant in Roslyn.
5. The Fabulous Copacabana
It was indeed fabulous. And, it was a time I was courting The Queen. Name the premier entertainers of that era, and The Queen and I saw them at the Copa. George Duganis was the maître d' and a great table was always available. The best shows included Louie Prima, Don Rickles, Joe E. Lewis, Bobby Vinton, etc.
Of course, there was more: Belmont Park, Saratoga, Yonkers and Roosevelt Raceways, the Jewish Alps (the Catskills), bar-hopping, etc. Space precludes providing details.
I close this out with a comment from one of my readers on the first article: "I'll always believe that our New York City was quite special. Somehow, I think you'd agree." Amen!
"The great hills of the South Country they stand along the sea; and it's there, walking in the high woods, that I would wish to be, and the men that were boys when I was a boy walking along with me" (from "The South Country," Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953).

AVSC at 75
History. It's one thing that differentiates Aspen from almost every other ski town in the U.S. Aspen has roots as a Ute Indian hunting ground, a silver mining boom town and over the past 3/4's of a century Aspen has evolved into a cultural and athletic Mecca. Since 1937 The Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club (AVSC) has been teaching winter sports and life lessons to the children of the Roaring Fork Valley. If your math is rusty...that means 2012 marks the 75th Anniversary of AVSC. That pre-dates the Aspen Skiing company by 10 years. 2011 was a big year in the history of AVSC as it was named USSA (U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association) "Club of the Year" and also was chosen for the "Top of the Hill" Award from the Colorado Ski Hall of Fame.
Click 4 Pix: AVSC at 75
AVSC Executive Director Mark Cole recently spoke at The Aspen Business Luncheon hosted by Todd Shaver. Cole and a few of AVSC's coaches shared some of the details about AVSC's 75th Aniversary Season. Almost 2100 children will participate in AVSC's Winter programs this year, a new record. Coaching is available in Nordic, Alpine, Adaptive and Freestyle disciplines for both skiers and snowboarders through AVSC 450 of the kids compete at the nationally ranked team level, about 650 children are on scholarship. Almost 25% of all kids in the Valley participate with AVSC in some capacity.
AVSC has a long list of alumni who are World Class performers and Champions. Names like Andy Mill, Casey Puckett, Gretchen Blieler, Dave Stapleton, Jen Hudak and more. Currently AVSC has begat top riders like Wiley Maple, Katie Ryan, Noah Hoffman and Torin Yater-Wallace.
A long standing Aspen tradition is the AVSC Ski Day. AVAC Day is when Aspen Mountain opens up for friends of AVSC one day prior to the actual opening day. A $40 donation ($20 for kids) gets you out on Ajax a day before the general public. This year AVSC day was a super-beautiful bluebird day and Ajax was groomed to perfection and ready 4 shreddy. 165 acres of finely tuned white gold was skiing like it was mid January. Some of you may recall last year's AVSC day which was a full-on POWDER Day.... going HUGE on day 1. Either way...Bluebird or POW POW getting out there with the skiers, coaches, parents and friends of AVSC is a treat, but you better bring your A Game. Those AVSC kids rip!!!
AVSC is to be congratulated on their 75th Aniversary. Training World Class athletes is an important job...especially in Aspen. Training the 2000 or so kids who are not World Class is a special task too. Establishing core values of team work, discipline and training will help AVSC kids in any future endeavor they choose, weather its academics or athletics. If you've ever seen a pack of uniformed 10 year olds ripping down the mountain at mach speed, screaming with the joy of freedom and sporting huge smiles on their faces...then you know what AVSC is all about.
Congratulations to AVSC on 75 years and good luck for a great 2011/12 Ski Season in Aspen.

Shower leakage is no lesser than a nightmare for any homeowner. It is the worst thing you could ever discover. No doubt, these shower sealing or leakage problem occur with a pre-notification but then you never know when it gets turn into a huge blunder and make a mess of your bathroom.
These issues are quite common and can be fixed easily with the use of few tools or few skills. But at the end of the day, just to avoid any major hazard, people often go for hiring a plumber immediately. For such purposes, shower repair services in Gold Coast are quite popular for their easy maintenance and effective assistance.
When witnessing these minor plumbing issues, people often look up at the solution instead of finding out the reason for it. May be, you too have done the same several times. For once, it may let you overcome the home repair issues but you never know when the same problem can strike your bathroom again. So, always try to go deep into the roots and come up with an exact reason which will let you have a permanent solution for your problem. Thought, with satisfactory shower repair services in Brisbane, your shower may stop dripping but that won't be a permanent solution until you don't dig down to the core of it.
To make it easier for you, here I have listed a few of major reasons that make your tap or shower leak and irritate you. Check this out, so you can better find out a relevant solution to this issue.
- Problematic drainage system – Due to unwanted cracks or damage to the drainage pipes, there are chances when you may get to see leakage in your bathroom. This leakage doesn't last until the shower only but may ruin the beauty of your bathroom walls as well. For this, you may have to dig down deep and get your drainage pipes changed.
- Leaks in the water supply – Sometimes the lack of attention of your water supply department can cost you a bit high. This is when your water supply pipes start to leak and it causes excessive moisture to the walls, taps, and showers. This too is a hard task to be sorted out.
- Leaky faucets – Changing faucets is no brainer work. All you need is to remove the old and get replace it with a brand new. This is when the damage is done through the wrong or low-quality products.
- Damaged washer – In the majority of cases, the damage occurs due to the spoiled washer which needs to be changed annually.
The bottom line-
It's a human nature & somehow is good as well, that facing an issue; we look for the solution rather than finding out the reason behind it. May be this trick is good enough for any other problem but not the plumbing one. For bathroom fitting issues, you must always be sure about the reason behind the problem, so that the problem can be fixed from its roots.

"Boise, ID — Effective April 1, Todd Hunter (51) transitioned from his role of National Director at Alpha USA to launch a new ministry focused on helping pastors and lay leaders reach a generation that has become disenfranchised from the church. Under the new non-profit, Society for Kingdom Living, Hunter will develop his writing, speaking and professional activities in the areas of conversational evangelism and the 21st century church" [link added].
Todd worked as National Director of the Association of Vineyard Churches from 1998 until 2001. From that year until 2004, Todd served as Director of Allelon. Then in 2004, Todd accepted the position of National Director of Alpha USA.
I met Todd for a meal right around the time when he was in discussions with Alpha and worked with him on a couple of projects just after he came on board. He's a great guy and I'm looking forward to hearing more details about what he plans to do next.

Beautiful apartment in nice residence
19th August 2015
Very nice apartment with everything for a pleasant week.
Ideal for a family of 4.
It is located in a residence with swimming pool, wading pool, tennis.
Only disappointment not to have been closer to the beach, but ultimately, the path or to the beach or to the port is feasible even for small and fast.

Information on Paderborn
Paderborn is certainly a place worth a visit but I must confess I had never heard of Paderborn and it was an article in the Guardian that first gave me the idea to make a visit. When I started my research, I found a lot of questions from British travellers needing information on Paderborn,. It could be like me they just wanted to visit a pretty German Town but I think it more likely that they wanted to visit their families serving in the British Army of the Rhine, who are stationed around Paderborn.
My Paderborn Story ~ Lessons Learned about Travelling
The first problem I encountered was that most of the Information was in German. I have a grasp of French, can get what I want in Italian and Spanish but in German and Greek I am limited to Hello, Please and Thank You. Reading information in German is not that difficult, I used two tabs, one with the German website and one with Google Translation. Then with a few bits of I.T. I made a "mashed-up" document that combined the facts with the translated text, so I could print them off. I cannot understand why the tourist offices cannot do this themselves.
At the Bad Lippspringe tourist office the young woman said they were working on English versions but only had information on cycle tours in English. I said I didn't have a bike, so she offered to hire me one. A real example of "up-selling".
Getting to Paderborn
All roads may lead to Rome and one of the variety of routes to Paderborn, must go through Rome, because the journey is not a straight forward as I think it should be. And Rome2Rio let me down! From 24 hours on a bus, an overnight ferry and a long drive, to a combination of trains with 7 minute changes of platform, Flying was the only answer for a short trip.
Paderborn Hotels
Booking hotels is rarely a problem and booking.com makes the task easy, except, unless you know the town the map locations are not always that helpful. They say that "Failing to plan, is planning to fail." and I am a bit of a planner, even though sometimes I go off surfing when I find something interesting. In the end I booked 3 different hotels because it gave me a chance to do some hotel comparisons, which I thought might be useful for other travellers to Paderborn.
Getting from the Airport in Paderborn
To get from Paderborn Lippstadt Airport into Paderborn is a €50 taxi ride and it is only 20 minutes on the bus and €6.40. The flight into Paderborn landed at 20.00, I didn't know about the bus service. I realised that if you don't know the bus stop name, travelling by bus is difficult and even worse in the dark. Rome2Rio let me down again, but I will explain later because it was an important learning experience.
The Paderborn Experience
Where ever I go travelling, I like to experience things hands-on as much as possible but you can't avoid doing some touristy things, because after all you are a tourist on a short visit. I do like to eat local food, walk and travel by public transport.
Here are my posts on Paderborn, I hope you find them interesting but more importantly I hope you find them helpful in planning your own trip.

"There are a lot of women who live with pot bellied pigs."
Barely Returned Missionaries Fratris missionarius recentus
· Common names: RM, returned missionary, fresh off the field
· Genus name: Fratris missionarius recentus
· Habitat:
· Anywhere on campus
· Provo temple
· Defining characteristics / field marks: CTR ring; clean-shaven; pocket-sized scriptures; some souvenir from their mission, such as a scripture case made of snakeskin, a shark-tooth necklace, a Del Sol shirt, or a fancy pen from the Bank of Scotland; bicycle helmet (if they rode bikes on their mission); farmer's tan (if they served somewhere sunny); missionary-like planner. Barely returned missionaries, called BRM's for our purposes, often have difficulty adjusting to life as they knew it before their missions. They will appear stiff and awkward when talking casually with members of the opposite sex and will stick to asking specific questions rather than letting the conversation flow naturally. Their facial expressions are usually either (a) pondering and thoughtful, or (b) lost and confused, searching for their companion. They will also look thoroughly perplexed when the conversation turns to pop culture, current music, or new movies.
· Feeding habits:
· Three square meals a day. These males are used to order and structure in their days. Eating consistent things at consistent times is an important reinforcement of routine.
· Whatever they ate on their mission. BRM's who served in South America will typically return to the states with a tolerance and even preference of spicy foods. Those who served coastal missions will prefer seafood. Italian BRM's will be partial toward and selective about their pasta.
· Agonistic display
· BRM's have just spent two years avoiding conflict of all kinds. They have, in most cases, matured and learned a great deal about humility while on their missions. Because of this, they are not eager to engage in conflict of any kind and would rather back down than argue.
· If pushed into a physical fight, they will insist on a prayer beforehand.
· Courtship habits:
· These males tend to be extremely awkward around females and often do not date at all the first few months following their mission, except when well-meaning friends and family will set them up with anyone and everyone that might be single.
· When they do ask a female on a date, they will usually ask for a commitment. For example, "Will you go out with me on Friday?"
· It is important to allow BRM's to talk tirelessly about their mission. They have little else to say, and cutting off that conversation only leads to awkwardness as they struggle to think of a different topic.
· Don't be surprised if a BRM you are dating refers to you as "golden." In fact, you should take it as a compliment.
· Unlike other classes of males, BRM's are usually more willing to commit, especially when they are "fresh off the field." Having their eternal perspective, they are thrilled about the concept of marriage and see it as both a duty and a wonderful blessing. This leads to a paradoxical combination of awkward hesitation and eagerness to commit.
· BRM's are some of the most considerate dates. They will call when they say they will, and will show up in a timely manner. They give several days notice before the day of the date. They are gentlemanly and respectful. Sometimes females find this disconcerting and wish for something a little less formal and more spontaneous, but at least faithfulness, etiquette, and genuineness are assured with a BRM.
· Mating call
· When approaching a female at a water fountain: "You know, Moses met his wife at a well..."
· "We've been commanded to multiply and replenish the Earth."
· "Will you commit to dinner with me on Saturday night?"
· "Perfect love casteth out fear. You're not afraid, are you?"
· "Boy, it's a good thing I didn't tract into you on the mish….missionaries are supposed to have their heart locked."
· "I think we met in the pre-existence."
· "Maybe you weren't waiting for two years for me, but I think you may be just what I was waiting to find."· "God promises blessings to missionaries, but I didn't realize it would look this good!"
