I went to do my weekly grocery shopping at my local supermarket this morning. As I was standing in line, waiting for a woman who seemed to be surprised about the fact she was going to have to write a check to pay for her groceries (apparently, in some crazy Ponzi profit scam, Albertson's Supermarket expects her to pay), I used the extra time to scan the covers of the rag magazines sitting at the check stand in the impulse zone.
I noted the cover of US Weekly. The headline read "Star's Secrets – Get Thin Fast" and the cover had several very thin celebrities in photos where they resembled liberated POW camp survivors. I am not sure what amazes me more, the fact that US Weekly would publish this crap or that normal intelligent women would purchase it.
Even if quick weight loss was healthy (which I am fairly certain it isn't), what makes a Mom with 2.3 kids living in northern Oregon think she can match a program designed for a celebrity? A celebrity who merits the cover of a tabloid would most likely have enough money for assistance. She could afford to have personal trainers, chefs who cook tasty yet nutritionally balanced meals, and maybe a long term visit to a spa. Not to mention the time she has available for fitness training. Now the Oregonian Mom on the other hand has to take care of the family. That means she most likely has a job, takes care of cleaning the house, and still needs to cook for the kids. She's lucky to be getting a night out of the house for a round of Bunco with her friends. When is she going to get the kind of support or the kind of time that Britney can afford?
I have also heard a great deal about the show "Biggest Loser". My friends all seem to love this show. I think it speaks to people at some level. I am amazed at the incredible marketing job they are doing with it. The product placement is blatant, but if it helps people, good for them. I just don't kid myself, it's all about making some money, God Bless the USA!
I guess I shouldn't be knocking the show when I have never actually watched a full episode, but it seems like it is putting out more unreal expectations. I have seen some of the results online. The contestants seem to be losing a huge amount of weight in a very short period of time. I would love to leave my job, go work with a trainer, and have a diet plan laid out for me. That kind of focused effort would be awesome. Unfortunately, I live in the real world, not the TV world. Just for the record, if I was going to live in the TV world, I think I would rather live in a house with a hot Jeannie granting my wishes and then just wish to be thin. What could be better than a hot blonde that refers to you as master and when you're tired of her, you just plug her back into the bottle?
I don't blame anyone for looking for the shortcut. I myself love a good fast forward to the end once in a while. No matter what anyone tells you, in this case, there are no quick fixes. You gotta make up your mind and put in the work if you wanna lose the weight. As Chuck D says, "Don't believe the hype".

Australian, confidential, David Letterman, Desperate Housewives, goverment, Hollywood, Kim Jong Il, secret, WikiLeak, WikiLeaks, writing
Dear Readers,
Alas, I have been far too busy to write lately. For the first time in about three months, last night, I was able to read for fun. My other writings have been on the down low and I am grateful to my friends who started a writing competition in August because that is the only way I have had any writing material for our meetings (besides some things I have scribbled in class).
The WikiLeak…yeah… it is not legal. Nothing bad has happened…yet. admittedly, most of it has been funny. ("Kim Jong Il looks a little pudgy." "Hollywood combats terrorism with Desperate Housewives and David Letterman.") However, it could be a lot worst. Sure, the head of WikiLeaks is Australian. He was given the information by an American soldier though. He should be put on trial for treason. Unless it was a true injustice (such as Watergate), I do not agree with the information being leaked.
However, I do agree that less stuff should be secret and confidential. Fewer people should be allowed access such information. (A private got his hands on a lot of juicy material for crying out loud!)
Once again, however, I think somethings should stay secret. A lot of the juicy stuff was off-hand comments (like something you tell your best friend when you are blowing off steam). Everyone has their bad moments, even government officials.
And the dude needs to go to trial for the alleged rape charages.
Now, I go off to be shot by both sides.
Until Our Next Meeting,
The Lost Writer of Rohan

It started with Grumpy Cat. He made us laugh at negativity while "aww-ing" at how adorable he is.
Okay, maybe it didn't begin with a frowning cat (see image below) but he certainly embodied it. Wondering what it is? Refer back to the title of this post. "It" is the glorification of negativity.
And "it" needs to stop.
Gretchen Rubin, who I often quote from because she is so fantastic, describes a great example of this in her novel The Happiness Project. She describes a study in which participants were asked to judge the intelligence of two reviewers based on a review they had each written. One review was positive, while the other was negative.
The majority of people in the study said that the negative reviewer was more intelligent than the positive reviewer, even though both of the reviews were found to be equal.
Why is this? My guess was because negative people seem smarter; perhaps because they have a more "realistic" view of things.
Perhaps a more relatable example of this can be found on the talent competition America's Got Talent. There are four judges: former Spice Girl Mel B, model Heidi Klum, comedian Howie Mandel and radio personality Howard Stern. They give their own thoughts on each performance – which can be anything from juggling on a unicycle to a musician jamming out with a band.
Sometimes, the judges get it right. And sometimes, they get it wrong. However, this depends on the viewers opinion. I would be willing to bet, though, that most people think Howard Stern is the most intelligent. Why? Because he is known for giving more negative comments; plus, he usually dresses in all black. And his last name is Stern.
With people thinking negative equals "smart", it's really difficult to be happy. It's hard to try to see the glass half full instead of half empty, when there are people who seem to be intent on draining your happiness. It's as if being sad is "cool"; it has been glorified, while happiness has almost been "de-glorified".
People think that if you are happy, you're not realistic about your life; whereas if you're sad, you're busy and juggling a lot of important tasks and doing good things with your life. I strongly disagree with this; when you're happy, you are able to get more done – and you can have fun in the process.
I am a firm believer that life is better when you are happy, and I wish more people embodied this message. What do you think? To what extent will we glorify sadness and negativity before people realize life is much better when you are happy?

About a month ago a lady named Mary Baum joined us at our Faith Crop night at TM with her daughter Mandi. I remembered her because Her great grandson went to Mothers Day Out at The Family Church when I taught there. She is an artist and this night she was working on the most adorable picture for her dear friend. I asked her if she could make me one when she had time though I know TIME is hard to come by. She said she would and I told her my 2 staples when I scrapbook are glue sticks and chocolate and I am really into the bird trend right now. To my very pleasant surprise she brought my picture to Faith Crop this last Thursday night. I was so excited. Well the framed picture below is the picture she drew me and I decided to scrap around it sort of like a shadow box. I dug through my cool Jenni Bowlin Kit stash and came up with this. Mary is so very talented I love my beautifully whimsical picture she drew one of a kind for little ol' me!
What a blessing she is to me.

Smaller league footballer's Diary/Column in your local paper
I think this is more common in League One and lower, where you get a generous 'inside view' of footballers and life inside the team. What's yours like, smaller fans?
Here is this week's 'Easty's Eye', by Craig Easton of my beloved League One promotion chasers Swindon Town
"I had a feeling it was going to be a long journey to Norwich last Friday as soon as I saw that the Denzel Washington film 'Deja Vu' was waiting to be played on the bus DVD player.
Don't get me wrong, I really like Denzel but in my opinion this isn't one of his best films.
If Pete the driver had a pound for every time someone cracked, "I think I've seen this one", as we boarded the coach, then he would be a very rich man.
Saying that, it did spark an interesting conversation about time travel and parallel universes, which are just the type of topics that get discussed in the changing room on a daily basis!
When we stay away on overnight trips everyone shares a room and we usually all have the same room mate.
Mine was Peacs up until he injured his back and it was a good combination, with him on his computer games and me playing my guitar to while away the hours.
More recently I've been sharing with Gordon Greer, but now that Peacs is back in action there was a bit of a dilemma.
I thought I'd let them fight it out between themselves to see who got the pleasure of my company, so I was surprised to find my new roomy was Ben Hutchison when I arrived at my room.
Nothing against Ben, but I thought it was a bit strange as he's usually with Simon Ferry and they're quite close.
Anyway, it was a chance to get to know him better, but at about 1am I found out that he sounds like Darth Vader with a chainsaw when he's sleeping.
Even Primal Scream on my iPod couldn't drown him out and it wasn't until he took a flying pillow to the head that he turned over and slept more soundly.
Every new player has to perform a song as an initiation, and last week we had four singers for our 'entertainment'.
First up was our very own John or Edward, Simon Ferry. He sang the Dean Martin classic, 'Ain't that a kick in the head' and, as Louis Walsh would say, he really made the song his own.
Up next was Alex Revell who gave a very assured version of American Pie, with one hand in his pocket and twirling the microphone (a bottle of tomato sauce) with the other.
Ben Hutchison then launched into Mysterious Girl by Peter Andre, and with the lads joining in on backing vocals, it went down really well.
Last but not least was Charlie Austin, who played it safe with a rendition of Wonderwall.
Everyone knows the words and joined in to help him through the performance. He was probably more nervous about singing in front of us than turning out at Carrow Road in front of 25,000."

Case studies > Skills sharing > Fundraising: bid-writing - The supporter perspective
Mathew Gilbert & Quest4Change
Mathew Gilbert is the Development Director of the Woodford Foundation. Woodford Foundation was set up in 2003 to empower children and young people with a sensory disability in income-poor countries to become full and active participants within their families and communities. Matthew has been involved in several matches through the SCC, both giving and receiving support. We asked him to tell us a little about one of those matches who were having trouble with funding applications.
Heather from Quest for Change had a lot of theoretical knowledge about how to fundraise and approach trusts and foundations, but lacked experience actually doing it. Really with Heather, she knew it all already, but just needed a sounding board to see if she had the right idea. I helped by running through one of her letters and a proposal and made a few comments and recommendations.
Mathew also had plenty to say about the service as a whole, and why he thinks it's important to get involved:
I think that it is an excellent scheme as it helps to share skills and experience between like thinking organisations and people. I volunteer because small charities resources are usually limited, but what they have to offer is a wealth of expertise and experience. Sometimes we think that because we are small we cannot achieve change without a large investment in time or money, but as a collective we can network and cross fertilise, which may save us time and money, but will also help to build stronger bonds that might help us in the future.
Clearly Mathew's help was of great use, as Heather had this to say about the service:
It is so useful to have someone else working in the same sector share their experience and knowledge with you. It gives you more faith in your own work and ability.
Match completed in December 2010

I have $15,000 to invest. What would u suggest?
This is a very open ended question and really depends.
The questions I would need answered before I could give you a considered response include:
1. What other assets and liabilities do you have? As I need to understand how much or little this investment represents to your overall position.
2. What are your personal financial goals and objectives? As any investment should be working towards achieving the goals and objectives you prioritise as most important.
3. What is your investment time frame? As this will influence what level of risk is appropriate.
4. What is your investment risk profile? As you don't want to be kept up at night worrying because you are not comfortable with the investment volatility, nor do you want to be disappointed with substandard returns because you are invested too conservatively.
5. What are your investment preferences? As we will always consider these first.
With the above in mind, I would suggest you pursue the service of a financial planner for a discussion.
The content of this presentation is intended to be general information only and has been prepared without taking into account any person's objectives, financial situation or needs. Each person should consider its appropriateness having regard to these matters or obtain relevant professional financial advice before making any financial decisions. Examples are illustrative only. Each person should obtain any relevant professional financial, taxation and social security advice before making any financial decisions.

Ardagh awarded with gold trophy at Cans of the Year Awards
Ardagh Group was again successful at this year's prestigious Cans of the Year Awards held at the Canmaker Summit in Scotland, winning a Gold trophy.
The award came in the Food Two-Piece category for the partial internal lacquer in the DWI can produced by Ardagh Group for ConAgra's Hunt's brand in the US. The performance of DWI cans for tomato products relies very much on the internal lacquer. The lacquer is partial at the top and bottom, and is said to better protect the tomatoes from oxidation, even after two years.
Selected products were targeted by ConAgra and Ardagh to receive this special lacquer application. The unlacquered portion of the can interacts with the product giving it a unique flavour and colour equivalent to a bare tin can. Rigorous testing took place at Ardagh's R&D Centre in Crosmieres, France in finding the proper lacquer type and application process.
Mike Gentile, Vice President Product Development at Ardagh Metal Division North America explains, "The coatings selection process for ConAgra was primarily driven by the desire to eliminate all BPA from any food-contact surface. Of course, the coatings selected also had to achieve the desired flavour and colour profile as well as achieving a minimum shelf life of two years."
"Our ongoing commitment to consumers means that we constantly work to improve our packaging to assure quality and the overall experience," says Gail Tavill, Vice President, Packaging & Sustainable Productivity, ConAgra Foods. "We recognize consumer interest in removing BPA from our cans and are pleased to be able to respond to that desire and offer food that our consumers can feel confident in."
Ardagh Group, a global leader in glass and metal packaging solutions, announced in 2013 that it had entered into a supply agreement with ConAgra Foods to supply substantially all of their US food can requirements. As part of the agreement, Ardagh Group invested in two new state-of-the-art DWI can making facilities to convert the vast majority of ConAgra Foods' shelf-sized cans from traditional 3-piece can technology to Ardagh's flexible DWI (Drawn and Wall-Ironed) technology.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), also known as Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder, is a crippling personality disorder. Wikipedia classifies it as a cluster B personality disorder, which is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as the cluster of dramatic, emotional, and/or erratic disorders. The disorder is what its alternate name describes – emotionally unstable emotions that fluctuate and leave the affected person in a constant pattern of ever-changing thoughts and feelings.
About 1.6% of the U.S. population is diagnosed with BPD and continues to have it. U.K. demographics show that about 0.7% of the population is diagnosed, and Canada's rate is unknown. Some sites claim that BPD is the most commonly diagnosed personality disorder and that more women are diagnosed than men.
Different symptoms of the disorder are described depending on which site you visit, but there are nine main criterions that are consistent with the disorder. A person needs to be diagnosed with five out of the nine criterions in order to be diagnosed with BPD. The following symptoms are taken from the National Institute of Mental Health's BPD page:
- Extreme reactions—including panic, depression, rage, or frantic actions—to abandonment, whether real or perceived
- A pattern of intense and stormy relationships with family, friends, and loved ones, often veering from extreme closeness and love (idealization) to extreme dislike or anger (devaluation)
- Distorted and unstable self-image or sense of self, which can result in sudden changes in feelings, opinions, values, or plans and goals for the future (such as school or career choices)
- Impulsive and often dangerous behaviors, such as spending sprees, unsafe sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, and binge eating
- Recurring suicidal behaviors or threats or self-harming behavior, such as cutting
- Intense and highly changeable moods, with each episode lasting from a few hours to a few days
- Chronic feelings of emptiness and/or boredom
- Inappropriate, intense anger or problems controlling anger
- Having stress-related paranoid thoughts or severe dissociative symptoms, such as feeling cut off from oneself, observing oneself from outside the body, or losing touch with reality
If you are concerned about having BPD, don't self-diagnose! Talk to a professional. There is no specific test that tests for BPD – doctors and other qualified persons diagnose based on observing the patterns and behaviors that are reported and noted about an individual over a period of time. The period of time that is observed is anywhere from a few months to a few years.
Treatment for BPD is still being researched and tested, as there is no known cure for BPD at the time of this writing. Many people have had the most successful treatment of the disorder with dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), which helps teach effective coping skills and mindfulness techniques to an individual. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which teaches an individual how to challenge defeating and/or challenging thoughts and behaviors with positive action, has also been successful in helping those with BPD as well. Medications used in conjunction with therapy also seems to help most people cope with particular symptoms of the disorder, but there is no set medication made for treating BPD, so those who wish to take medication to assist with symptoms should talk with a doctor.
There are a lot of excellent resources for people to learn more about BPD. The following list is not all of the resources available, but ones that go into more detail about the specifics of BPD and do a wonderful job explaining the nature of the disorder:
- NAMI: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
- NIMH: Borderline Personality Disorder
- Borderline Personality Disorder on Mayo Clinic
- Borderline Personality Disorder (Key Facts) – Mental Healthy

I watched the first episode of this show. I won't be watching any more.
For the analysis, I refer you to the inimitable Daddy Warpig:
"Netflix's new Cyberpunk-Noir series (because what Cyberpunk needed was even MORE cynicism and venality), based on the 2002 book of the same name by Richard K. Morgan, is ten hours of the worst humanity has to offer. Literally. The very worst. The series is more violent, uglier, and more all-around depraved than HBO's A Game of Thrones. Watching it leaves you feeling filthy inside, like your soul itself needs a good, hot shower."
There's more at the link.
Watching this first episode reminded me of a C. S. Lewis quote:
It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all of our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations — these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit — immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.- The Weight of Glory
I've covered before how hope is what's missing from many of the stories of our modern day. Altered Carbon proves the point eloquently.

Just one day before Department of Public Works Superintendent Rob Zora will retire, the Board of Selectmen during a special meeting on Thursday, December 14, considered its options for finding an interim superintendent during this critical time – winter and budget season.
The first significant snowfall of the season was accumulating on the roads outside as Selectmen Chairman Jody Dickerson and Selectman Steve Gonsalves sat with Finance Director Judy Mooney listening to Town Administrator Paul Dawson list several options, some of which he had come up with just before the meeting.
But first, Dawson primed the board with a summary of what was imminent for the DPW.
"As the board knows … we are in the process of undertaking a review of the entire Department of Public Works operation to look at and consider whether, or if, any changes of the structure of the organization could take place," Dawson said.
Those potential changes, he stated, could be incorporating some functions of other departments – facilities, or parks and recreation, for example – or it could mean dividing water and sewer and possibly the Highway Department.
"I would not want to presuppose what this might end up looking like," said Dawson.
The DPW review process is a project that will be undertaken by an outside consultant and paid for by a grant provided through the Community Compact Program.
Results from the review, said Dawson, might even suggest eliminating the full-time DPW superintendent position. A review, however, will take about six months, Dawson told the selectmen, so it would be more prudent at this time to find a temporary interim superintendent than hire a permanent full-time DPW superintendent.
"Obviously we need to have an interim person," Dawson stated, given the busy nature of this time of year, "[And] we have the added burden of the new NPDES permit."
Dawson's first option was to comb through internal personnel for someone with both administration and budgeting experience to temporarily transfer to the three- to six-month interim supervisory position. But that person would not be able to hold two positions with the Town, Dawson said.
The first person who came to his mind was Facilities Director Shawn Cormier, followed by Recreation Department Director Jody Dickerson, also a member of the board.
Dawson said another last-minute idea was to contact local people who have retired from the public works field and gauge their interest in the temporary position.
"I've racked my brain," Dawson said. "I can't come up with any [other ideas]. Those are the options as best as I could come up with."
That is a lot to digest, said Dickerson, recommending that the board wait until its next Tuesday night meeting before choosing an option. Somebody in the meantime, however, would have to fill in as the acting authority to sign bills and payroll for the DPW.
The selectmen appointed Dawson as the fill-in.
But regarding a longer-term temporary person, said Dawson, "The board is going to have to make a decision quickly."
Marion resident Jay Ryder asked the board why it simply hasn't asked Zora to act as the interim superintendent.
"This is a critical period for the DPW and the plant," Ryder said. "I would think, if he was willing to do that while you went through the hoops that you have to go through while you find his replacement … that would be the route to go to."
Dawson and the selectmen paused before Dickerson said, "We're looking at all the options on that and we'll be sitting down with Mr. Zora shortly."
Zora was in the room seated with the rest of those in attendance but did not contribute to the conversation.
Resident Sherman Briggs asked the board, "Why are we waiting for the last minute? This (Zora's intent to retire) has been known for a while. Why are we jumping on it the day before his retirement?"
Dawson said the selectmen were aware of Zora's chosen retirement date three weeks prior to that meeting. Dawson formally announced Zora's retirement during the December 5 selectmen's meeting.
"I just hope that we don't make some wrong decisions in the very near future because of the short window that was created," said Briggs.
The Marion Board of Selectmen held their regularly scheduled meeting on December 19 at the Marion Town House.

Have you ever wondered what life was like on and around Temple Mount in Jesus' day? There are some things we know about, such as Jesus clearing the Temple courtyards of money changers who were turning God's house into a den of thieves (Matthew 21, John 2), Jesus taught in the Temple (Mark 12), and that Jesus used the Temple as an object lesson to teach His disciples about Himself (Mark 14).
The Temple, of course, was destroyed in 70 AD and has not been rebuilt since. In fact, much has changed as a result of the destruction of Jerusalem and years of history since. However, there are still places that "tell a story" if we only listen. One such location is the southern steps to Temple Mount. We know that Jesus and other "commoners" would have entered the Temple via those steps, so it is a striking place when you visit Israel.
Today, let's go there, and imagine what it was like in Jesus' day. Enjoy!

Fast National ratings for Thursday, September 18, 2014.
Testing the limits of America's insatiable appetite for NFL action, a dismally one-sided Thursday Night Football game between the Falcons and Buccaneers fell hard from last week's telecast, though CBS still dominated primetime in all measures.
The game, which was essentially over by the end of the first quarter, was off by 40 percent from the Fast Nationals for last week's Thursday Night Football premiere.
Thursday's only other original programming was NBC's "The Biggest Loser," which was down nearly 20 percent from last week's premiere.
Some numbers will, of course, change due to the live nature of the football.
On to the numbers…
Among adults 18-49, CBS averaged a 3.2 rating for Thursday night, tops in the key demographic. CBS beat the combined totals for NBC (1.2 key demo), ABC (0.7 key demo), FOX (0.5 key demo) and The CW (0.2 key demo).
Overall, CBS averaged an estimated 9.02 million viewers and a 5.8 rating/10 share for Thursday, far ahead of the 4.38 million viewers and 3.0/5 for NBC on the night. ABC was third with 3.59 million viewers and a 2.6/4, followed by FOX's 2.09 million viewers and 1.3/2. The CW averaged a 0.4/1 and 600,000 viewers.
8 p.m. – CBS' NFL pregame and the Bucs-Falcons kickoff averaged 9.21 million viewers and a 2.9 rating among adults 18-49 for the 8 p.m. hour. NBC's "The Biggest Loser" was second with 4.4 million viewers and a 1.3 key demo rating, topping the 3.615 million viewers and 0.7 key demo rating for ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" repeat. FOX's "Sleepy Hollow" repeat averaged 2.06 million viewers and a 0.5 key demo rating, ahead of the 598,000 viewers and 0.2 key demo rating for The CW's "Vampire Diaries" repeat.
9 p.m. – Thursday Night Football averaged 10.04 million viewers and a 3.6 rating among adults 18-49 for CBS in the 9 p.m. hour, but the viewer exodus from the game began early. NBC's "The Biggest Loser" was second with 4.75 million viewers and a 1.4 key demo rating. A "Scandal" repeat on ABC averaged 3.35 million viewers and a 0.6 key demo rating, beating the 2.12 million viewers and 0.5 key demo rating for another "Sleepy Hollow" repeat on FOX. The CW's "The Originals" repeat averaged 603,000 viewers and a 0.2 key demo rating.
10 p.m. – CBS' football coverage dropped to 7.81 million viewers and a 3.0 rating among adults 18-49 in the 10 p.m. hour. NBC's encore of "The Mysteries of Laura" averaged 4 million viewers and a 0.8 key demo rating, beating the 3.81 million viewers and 0.7 key demo rating for ABC's "Scandal" repeat.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change, particularly in the case of live events.

If undefeated lightweight prospect Khabib Nurmagomedov defeats Pat Healy at UFC 165, he believes he has earned a title shot against the winner of Anthony Pettis vs Josh Thompson.
"I've got a lot of surprises for this guy," Nurmagomedov said in an interview with MMAjunkie.com Radio. "I've got my own plan, and I'm pretty good at breaking plans as well and breaking guys in the cage."
"I think I will deserve the title shot, but it's really up to the UFC to make that decision," he added. "If they offered me another fight, I definitely wouldn't mind that, and I'll go along with it."
Nurmagomedov has had a hell of a run in the division, racking up 20 straight victories in the past five years. Since debuting in the UFC in 2012, he's defeated top ranked fighters such as Gleison Tibau, Thiago Tavares, and Abel Trujillo.
Khabib Nurmagomedov and Pat Healy will face off on September 21 at UFC 165.

Moms With a Mission Tip from Luna:
Do you double your portions because you're now "eating for two"? Not so fast! The recommended weight gain for the average pregnant woman is 25-35 pounds. It only takes approximately 300 extra calories a day to meet this recommended weight goal. A snack equivalent to 300 calories is a 6-ounce container of yogurt and a 1/4 cup of raisins.
** A note from Val:
While you shouldn't go crazy eating food during pregnancy I am do not necessarily believe in counting calories while you are pregnant! Enjoy your pregnancy, eat, and eat well! Be mindful of what you are putting into your body as far as foods because it is not only you that is affected by your diet! Some women think that pregnancy distorts your body (well it does, but I mean in terms of hormones and bodily function) and that it is something that you have to "recover" from.
On the contrary, your body is more efficient than ever during pregnancy and it is a great opportunity to re-program those eating and exercising habits for the better! If you do and maintain those habits after pregnancy your body will not only "recover" from pregnancy but become an even better one!

Vulnerability is Strength
I talk to my friends all the time about what's really going on with them. Not the polite chit-chatter that we know by rote, but the inertia that is real life. Most stuff isn't pretty and you can't wrap it in a pretty box. It's funny what people will tell you if you're just willing to listen. I've heard some stories that will break your heart and others that made me laugh. Not because they were so funny, but the absurdity was so much that it was better to laugh than cry.
I have used my blog and Facebook as a way to reach out. Now I'm asking you to be brave and share your truth with me and countless others. Not so people know your business, but to help you. I may not have the answer, but someone does. People have continually offered their personal insights to those in need. Many have confessed their own issues. Surprisingly, folks have unabashedly said I've been there. I know what you're going through. May not always solve the problem, but it feels so much better to know you're not alone. When you show your vulnerability it only shows your strength.
Blessings, Veela aka Venus

not satisfied
Sail Date: July 15, 2016
Ship: Enchantment of the Seas
Cabin Type: Balcony
Cabin Number: 7066
Traveled As: Family (older children)
Reviewed: 3 years ago
Review Summary
The room was dirty. Including the last passenger's pubic hairs. They finally cleaned it on the 3rd day. The windows
We asked to dine alone. The waiter brought us to a table and proceeded to sit a nice little old lady at our table before we sat down. I reminded him that we wanted to dine alone. It was a birthday and adversary. The waiter screams out " THEY DON'T WANT TO SHARE!" and made this little old lady move from our table. How uncomfortable and embarrassing for her.
To their credit they did give us a Lobster diner for us on the last day, but our trip was ruined. We invited guests that we paid for as well (family) we always talked up RC to them, they will probably never cruise with RC again. We were so embarrassed. The ship is old. Rust everywhere. Not a good experience.

Just saw on TV that Depeche Mode will do a concert in Bucharest on May 15 this year. I've been wondering about them for a long time, given Dave Gahan's health problems.
Once upon a time I was learning English through song lyrics. Some of theirs, written by Martin Gore, were among my favorites. I still have that old notebook with lyrics to every song they had out up until that moment in the nineties. Wonderful band. It will be great to see them in concert. I might have to go elsewhere in Europe since I don't think I can make it on the 15th of May. If I do get to go abroad, I bet it will be great to see a different crowd in a huge concert. They'll be in Hungary on the 21st. In London on the 28th and 29th. In Berlin on the 9th of June.
I am listening to Martin Gore right now. I love his singing too (not just the words), and I love their music, old and new! They're releasing a new album in March.
I used to love A Question of Lust as a teenager, when lust was a new word. Enjoy!
Here are their DVDs:
Tour Of The Universe: Barcelona 20/21.11.09
Depeche Mode: Touring the Angel - Live in Milan
Depeche Mode: One Night in Paris - The Exciter Tour 2001 This last one is directed by Anton Corbijn. So is this:
Depeche Mode -- Devotional
Among other things, Anton Corbijn directed the movie
Control, about Ian Curtis and Joy Division. It's an amazing little movie. One of the few truly memorable movies that make wonders with a small budget and powerful yet sparse artistic means. I didn't check reviews of Control (2007) until now. I see it gets a score of 87% (critics) and 88% (audience) on rottentomatoes.
"Even if you have no interest in Joy Division, this picture is worth seeing for the unsentimental empathy and passion of the moviemaking." (Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun)

John (JW) Marin, 73, of Meadville, passed away peacefully with his family at his side on Saturday, November 3, 2018.
He was born in Geneva Pennsylvania on May 20, 1945 to the late Lida Martin Marin and the late John Marin, Sr.
JW married his childhood sweetheart, Patricia, on August 14, 1962. "I've loved him since he was 11 years old," said Patricia. She survives.
JW worked at the Meadville Malleable upon graduation from Conneaut Lake High School in 1963, and then dedicated his career to public safety by joining the Pennsylvania State Police in November 7, 1968
JW served as a sniper, patrol trooper, public information officer, and liaison to the U.S. Marshals Service, but he spent most of his career as a criminal investigator. To quote a former prosecutor who worked alongside JW on a three-year, multi-state investigation, "He was one of the best detectives I ever worked with." JW was awarded the Letter of Commendation by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for his work on that case. JW valued the relationships he formed in the State Police far after his retirement in 1994.
JW was an avid reader, enjoyed hunting and fishing, and studied martial arts, earning his Black Belt in Kung Fu and Red Sash in Kuntao in 1975.
In addition to his wife, JW is survived by five children, Junae (Bill) Hough, Shelly (Mike) Price, John A. (Diana) Marin, Troy (Lori) Marin, and Jason (Jennifer) Marin, all of whom gave him his greatest joy, numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his siblings Evonne (Lance) Denman and Sam (Rita) Marin, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Likewise, he is survived by those he thought of as brother, Edward Carr and Ernie (Claudia) Wescott. He was the Godfather of Edward and Kaine Marin and thought of his niece Gina Ellis as his sixth child. He was proceeded in death by his parents, a sister, Beverly Clayton, and a step-granddaughter, Kristi Lynn Evanoff.
Services will be private
The family suggests memorials be made to Patricia Marin, c/o, Robert W. Waid Funeral Home, Inc., 581 Chestnut Street, Meadville.

1. What's your favorite Camp Scully memory?
My favorite memory has to be when Colin and I performed "No No Never Never" for the first time. It was so funny and intense and we just kept trying to make the other laugh with silly accents. Also Doing the Dance routine with Bert my first summer working at Scully.
2. Why do you love Camp Scully?
Because when I was young, I didn't know what I was going to do in life. Then I worked at Scully. It showed me that working with kids is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
3. What do you do when you're not at camp?
I work at Pali mountain as an outdoor educations instructor. I basically teach outdoor science to kids any where from grades 4 to 9th grade.
4. What is your dream job?
Probably being a director of a camp someday in the distant future! Maybe by the time Colin is ready to retire I'll be ready? :-)
Please leave your thoughts and memories of P.W. below.

While storytelling in video games has made a tremendous leap forward over the past year, not all games had grandiose storylines, eccentric writing, or clever twists. Most games didn't. Perhaps most notably, Halo 3 ended up being, well, Halo 3.
It was Halo.
Halo 3 didn't demolish the world under the weight of its code. Halo 3 didn't annihilate the multi-media brand-scape with its nigh-megalomaniacal marketing campaign. The soda didn't taste half bad, though. Many gamers, though, felt as though Halo 3 was a failure in some way. It's hard to blame them.
The first Halo wrote the holy book on how to make a console FPS, from controls, to vehicles, to voice acting and storyline. Halo wrote the book.
The second Halo's online multiplayer has been the yardstick by which all other games are judged since the very day of its release. Just as the first Halo nailed the basics, the second finessed the multiplayer experience.
By the time Halo 3 rolled around, their revolution was already over. And how do you live up to two consecutive revolutions? You can't, and the only reason Halo 3 is as good a game as it is (and it is a damn fine game) is that Bungie didn't try to reinvent their own wheel. They instead focused on adding non-essential features that would give the game legs beyond its predecessors. Four-player online co-op, rudimentary level-editing tools, video capture, screenshot capture, and file-sharing aren't revolutionary, any PC gamer worth their mouse and keyboard will tell you that these features have existed for over a decade, on PC. In the end Bungie's greatest strength was knowing what it could do and what it couldn't do. On September 25, they shipped a product that wasn't out to move the Earth, rather a labor of love, a gift to all those who made them what they are.
Instead of a graphical revamp, they stayed true to the old art style. It doesn't get in the way, but the old art style is so shamelessly ripped out of Aliens that they missed an opportunity, here. Likewise the pulpy bits of Halo's storyline, grunt-humor and all seem to get in the way of the more serious aspects, with Halo 3's story playing it altogether too safe. There wasn't a single event in the plot I didn't see coming from a mile away.
I said a while ago that Halo is gaming's Star Wars, the parallels are staggering. Star Wars was a film that was in many ways revolutionary, with effects that gave legitimacy to an otherwise maligned genre. Likewise, Halo was incredibly advanced for its time, and became the first console FPS to stand on even ground with its PC counterparts.
Star Wars was released in 1977, still very much in the shadow of the Vietnam War. The unmolested-good vs. indomitable-evil storyline very much spoke to audiences at the time. Halo was released November 2001, two months after 9/11, its own storyline pitting a human hero against a genocidal faction of religious aliens.
Both went on to massive sales and acclaim despite very real flaws, notably campy storylines and dialog, the sort normally reserved for sci-fi channel originals. Halo is arguably the first true gaming blockbuster, with lines stretching for hundreds of yards on the release of Halo 3. Their impeccable timing and resounding themes made them far more than the sum of their parts.
When the dust finally settles and no more cat helmets are sold, Halo's legacy will take on a similar tone. Hushed, reverent, respected to a fault, perhaps.
Just hope they don't make a prequel trilogy.


text: With the lack of anything new, I've been re-processing from scratch a few old pictures. This one I've had a couple of stabs at already but I've never been entirely satisfied with the outcome. The problem has been with the eyes, I think. They're very dark and not catching much light. So this time I've softened them to show what detail is there. I think it's better.

Born in Belfast, White spent much of his early life in Canada. After returning to Belfast, he became assistant manager of a large tailoring firm and then a publicity officer with planemakers Short Brothers. He made good use of this background material in such diverse works as Custom Fitting and Tomorrow Is Too Far.
The Watch Below is probably his most accomplished novel, with two seemingly separate storylines which intertwine neatly at the dramatic climax. All Judgement Fled runs it a close second: in it, earthmen have to differentiate between the "people" and "animals" aboard an alien spaceship. His personal favourite, The Silent Stars Go By, was laughingly blurbed: "When Irish Spies Are Smiling".
But James White will be best remembered for his Sector General series, which began in book form with Hospital Station (1962). Sector 12 General Hospital is a multi-environmental big smart object situated far out on the galactic rim. Its 384 levels accurately reproduce the varied environments of all life forms currently known to the Galactic Federation.
In The Genocidal Healer, White used the Sector General setting to consider terminal illness and euthanasia. The Dream Millennium, a cold-sleep starship novel, is also concerned with the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Underkill, his sideways sequel to Millennium, describes the devastated Andersonstown left behind by the cryonic colonists.
James White always maintained close links with the sci-fi fandom he loved, and who loved him back. He was guest of honour at many conventions, notably the 1996 world convention in Los Angeles, a long-serving council member of the British Science Fiction Association and president of its Irish counterpart, the ISFA.
He is survived by his wife Peggy, son Martin, and daughter Patricia.
James White, writer, born April 7, 1928; died August 23, 1999

Celtic Angels
A joyous celebration of everything Irish will touch American soil this spring when the energetic, exciting young stars of Celtic Angels Ireland tour the U.S. Through their shared zeal and passion for Ireland's musical traditions, this troupe enables their audiences to experience the Real Ireland for the price of a concert ticket. Celebrating their cherished heritage through Irish dance, music, and song is something these entertainers take very seriously. You'll be enthralled from the moment the lights dim as the sweet and stirring songs of Ireland, rigorously precise dances, and traditional musicianship carry you to Ireland on wings of music. Some of the sweetest voices under heaven make up the Celtic Angels: Victoria Kenny, Emily Carroll, Tammy Browne, Amy Penston, and Ellie Mullane - Irish to the core and seasoned entertainers all. These ladies cut their teeth in such musicals as West Side Story, Grease, and in Jury's Irish Cabaret. The Celtic Knight Dancers, featuring two former lead dancers of Riverdance, perform with athletic precision in routines that leave audiences breathless. Their rhythm and artistry are astonishing. The Trinity Band Ensemble of Dublin round out the show with flawless interpretations of authentic Irish Trad instrumentals, and their backing of both singers and dancers is perfection.

Solidification processes are familiar to all of us, whether they concern the formation of frost on windows or ice in trays, the freezing of solders in electronic circuits, or the casting of aluminum and steel in industrial practice. Solidification has long represented a major force in human development, and some of the "Ages" of man have even been classified by the alloys that the inhabitants were able to melt and cast. During the Bronze Age, ca. 4000 BC - 1200 BC, copper-based weapons and other artifacts of daily life were common throughout Europe and Asia. However, once it became possible to melt and alloy iron, ca. 1200 BC, this metal quickly replaced bronze for weapons and other applications because of its superior properties. Several variants of steel, the most famous of which is the legendary Damascus steel, were produced in ntiquity by mechanical means.
The invention of the Bessemer process in 1858 led to the mass production of steel in liquid form, which was then cast into shapes and ingots for wrought processing. This was one of the key inventions of the industrial revolution, and provided the foundation for transportation by rail, and later by automobile. Similarly, the Hall-H´eroult process for producing aluminum, invented in 1886, enabled the mass production of aluminum cast products, which in turn gave rise the aircraft industry in the following century.
The ability to produce these metals in liquid form made it possible to easily manufacture alloys of controlled composition, which could then be cast into either final products or into ingots that, in turn, would be deformed in the solid state into plates, sheets, billets, and other wrought products. The solidification process marked the stage of production where the composition and structure were set for all future processing. Through the first half of the 20th century, metallurgists developed an understanding of how the properties of cast products were related to the conditions extant during the solidification process.
One could argue that the art and practice of solidification entered the realms of engineering and science with the publication of Chalmers'landmark text Principles of Solidification in 1964, which presented some of the basic models for solute partitioning during the freezing of alloys, and helped to explain how microstructural patterns such as dendrites evolve during planar or spherical growth. Ten years later, Flemings' Solidification Processing extended this modeling approach to develop models for the evolution of measurable microstructural features, such as dendrite arm spacing and segregation patterns. These models began to quantify the effect of processing parameters such as the cooling rate and the temperature gradient, as well as their interaction with alloy properties such as the freezing range and the underlying phase diagram on the final structure. Over the next decade, many important advances were made in the understanding of pattern formation in solidification microstructures, in particular regarding length scales in dendritic growth. Largely as a result of these advances, Kurz and Fisher published Fundamentals of Solidification, which focused in greater detail on the evolution of microstructure.
The book is intended to be the next entry in this line. The time since the publication of Kurz and Fisher's text has seen the advent of large scale computation as a tool for studying solidification. This has allowed significant advances to be made in both theory and application. The development of phase-field methods has permitted a further understanding of the evolution of complex microstructures, and the availability of inexpensive large-scale computers and commercial software packages now allows process engineers to perform realistic simulations of macroscopic heat transfer, solute transport and fluid flow in realistic geometries. The development of volume averaging methods and the statistical representation of microstructures provide a bridge between the microscopic and macroscopic scales.

Riff Raff: Shawshank shareholders soiree
Folks in Bentonville are prepping for the June 1 Walmart shareholders meeting. We at Talk Business & Politics may or may not have acquired a draft agenda of the big meeting.
Also, some of what follows was first posted Dec. 17, 2017, well before Walmart folks removed the them-persistent-union-folks-rain-on-our-parade business meeting from the big Friday shareholders meeting. It's now a hybrid pep rally, music festival, and church service with corporate Kool-Aid communion.
At the business meeting the day before the big shareholders/associates revival meeting, Hall and Oates will perform an acoustic version of "I Can't Go For That" immediately following the announcement of shareholder proposals not endorsed by the Walmart board of directors.
Ellen is hosting the big Friday event, according to the draft agenda we may or may not have. She plays a few games, including one in which a Walton family member is dropped in a vat of law firm invoices and internal memos related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigation. The multitude of invoices and memos easily cushion the fall.
Mark Hamill makes an appearance. He is told his father is really Sam Walton, and the evil emperor is Jeff Bezos. In a pre-taped video, Hamill, now known as Luke Skywalton, uses the force – paid for largely by suppliers – to roll back prices until the Amazon Death Star explodes.
"Pickup online, you should," Yoda notes in a cameo.
Walmart Chief Financial Officer Brett "Smallsie" Biggs will announce the company has acquired the Mississippi River in a $20 billion deal with the federal government. As part of the deal, Walmart is allowed to prevent any Amazon shipments on the river or through the airspace above the river, and the government will use the Walmart proceeds to build the wall.
Bruno Mars performs. 24 Karat Magic is reduced to 12 Karats, because, you know, everyday low prices.
Kate McKinnon, impersonating former Walmart board member Hillary Clinton, makes frequent cameos around Bud Walton Arena, appearing on the big screens. The highlight is when she does a Walmart squiggly/lap dance with CEO Doug McMillon.
David Letterman reports the Top 10 list of the godawfulest outfits worn at a Walmart store. He'll also drop Walmart produce from the top of Bud Walton Arena.
Morgan Freeman narrates the boring-as-hell financial review portion of the meeting with the voice of Red from "Shawshank Redemption." You might hear: "It was clear our e-commerce business team was more excited than the bull queens with a new inmate," and "Get busy stocking or get busy dying."
Cheech and Chong will be there because medical marijuana might be available in some states where the company operates. But not in Arkansas. They'll provide a "tight roll" instructional video for Sam's Club pharmacists. On a related note, it will be announced that the snack food section in certain Sam's Clubs will relocate next to the pharmacy.
CNBC's Jim Cramer washes the feet and performs other forms of worship on the Walmart management team.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., in a video appearance, drives Walmart CEO Doug McMillon along Interstate 49 in a race car to show how McMillon benefits from wearing adult Depends.
The Black Panther will make a special appearance to note that all Walmart stores in Wakanda have converted to full self-checkout. He will then introduce John "Fletch" Coxtolstoy, the last associate to be trained by Walmart to work a cash register.
There to promote her new "130K" line of lingerie sold exclusively in Walmart stores will be Stormy Daniels. The first 100 online customers also receive a signed rolled-up magazine.
And I know what you're thinking. And you're right. This event would have been better if Arkansas officials would have already made available that medical marijuana.

My wonderful customers are the reason I am in business. Here are some of the great things they've had to say.
I'll do everything I can to make sure you're a satisfied customer, too!
I have been going to Niki for over 10 years. She truly is the best stylist I have ever had. She makes you feel like you are her only appointment of the day by taking her time and giving you her full attention. Even though I've been going to her for over 10 years, she still consults with me at the start of each appointment. I schedule my appointments well in advance because I want to be sure I'm on her calendar. I hope she never moves as I will follow her anywhere! – Patsy Z.
Like the others have implied, it is our particular stylist or aesthetician that keeps us coming back to Les Cheveux. Yes, Les Cheveaux is clean, bright and welcoming but to be perfectly honest, I would follow my stylist if she was cutting hair with a mirror propped up against the wall behind the Bashful Bandit.
Niki has been cutting my hair for about 15 years when she took me from an ugly, shapeless style to chic and modern me. She stays on top of the latest styles and trends and is always continuing her education which allows her to make us all look good.
So yes, Les Cheveux is lovely but Niki is where it's at.. — Kathy N.
I don't normally do reviews but Niki is exceptional. Both my mum and I having been going to Niki for a number of years. We have followed her when she changes location because she is THE best hairdresser!! One her many qualities is she listens, she does not style, cut or color your hair the way she would want it which I have experienced so much before. Niki takes the time to understand what you want and is comfortable giving advice if necessary to achieve the best results. I also love the fact that she educates me, making sure we keep my hair in optimal condition. — JoJo B.
Niki Lensink is by far the most talented, experienced, and incredible master stylist I have ever been too. She has done my hair for 15 years and wish she could do my hair forever! I recently moved out of state and she has gone above and beyond to help my new stylist understand my hair and how it takes color so that it will come out the way I love. She is as good as it gets!!! — Courtney K.
There's good, very good and great hairstylists. Niki is in the great category! I have even been known to travel from my home in Maine to have her cut and color my hair. – Sandra C.
Niki listens to her clients, explains to the client what she thinks would be best for her client and why. She takes all the time necessary to complete a Perfect style for each individual person.— Carla M.
Niki, From the appt. I went straight to a gas station, and as I was filling up, a grey-haired woman came up to and asked me who cut my. So I told her. Really, your work is your own best advertisement. Hope she contacts you. And thank you again for making my hair look good. — anonymous
