31 12 / 2013
Race 30/30: Fairfax 4 Miler
Today, I ran the 30th race. As you can imagine I was pretty stoked. As you probably couldn't imagine I had to run this my final race after 2 days of excruciating flu. No matter, I had my bests around and a commitment to fulfill. Top things about this race:
- It was the last one of the year! That kind of excitement really lends to a speedy and fun race.
- I love night races! There's something so magical about running at night — like anything is possible.
- My favorite people were on hand!! MB and Msheed came to cheer me on as well as my new work friend and an old work friend. It was amazing.
- There was Mexican food! Pacers provides pizza after the race but as it was the big race for yours truly, there was Guapos to top the race accomplishment off with cheese and margs.
- Glitter from Boston. AKP sent me some celebratory glitter. It was pretty fantastic.
As I mentioned, I have NOT been feeling well. About 1 mile in I wondered if this was such a good idea. As in stop pretty much dead in my tracks, can't breathe my stomach hurts so bad I want to go home kind of good idea. But my Nike+ kept cheering in my ear and I knew that I could do this. That I could do anything.
I have so much that I'm thankful for because of these 30 races but not the least of which is you people — all the love and support.
I have more wrap ups to deliver — pictures, numbers, but let me tell you this I can't count of wrap up how much my friends and family mean to me. It's been an amazing year. With some amazing races.
23 12 / 2013
Race 29/30: Jingle Bell Jog
Whew! I'm so close to being done. I think that stretching the 30 challenge all the way through the year was a really good idea — the races really keep pace {pun intended} with the seasons which is really fun.
Apologies for that image of me beasting a burrito post run. My runger is out of control these days.
Top things about this, my second to last, race:
- MCRRC — my new favorite thing this year. This low key race allowed me to sleep in, roll up right before the race and wait inside.
- The course — I ran this one last year with Katie so I knew what to expect. It's challenging and fun and beautiful to run through the Rockville neighborhood.
- Negative splits — for the most part. The last mile I was like D-O-N-E done but that was mostly because again I was over dressed
- 8K! There's something about running 5 miles that makes you feel gangster.
- My outfit got so many compliments. I obvs rocked my red Team Sparkle skirt and a jingle bell (provided). I got so many "cute skirts" on the course!
Y'all. This is it. This time next week I'll be gearing up for race 30! I'm so excited!
Did you run a holiday themed race?
09 12 / 2013
Race 28/30: The Girls on the Run 5k
This weekend was epic. This was one of the best races I've done in a while. Mostly because it was in Pittsburgh and my race support team was awesome.
Top things:
- I've tried to volunteer for Girls on the Run for two years but the schedule has never worked for me. I was so excited when I would be in town and this race was going on!
- It was in Pittsburgh, my happy place!
- My mom and MB tagged along for the drive to the park and they also weathered the freezing temps.
- It was so an inspiration run. It was so cool to see tons of little girls enjoying something that I absolutely love to do. There was so much excitement and I just loved it.
- There was a cute little medal. I'm really into the bling right now {Disney spoiled!} and I was so pumped to get another piece for my rack!
After the super freezing race, MB, mom and I headed to Eat N Park to warm up with french toast and hot chocolates. Then we managed to get stuck in Pittsburgh in the terrible snow and ice. All in all it was huge race win!
Only two more to go! How was your run this weekend!
20 11 / 2013
Race 27/30: runDisney Wine and Dine Half Marathon
Y'all. This was my last runDisney race! It was my last half marathon of the year! It was also the last race this year where I'd get a medal. And oh what a race it was!!
Top things!
- runDisney — DUH! As usual this glorious evening race was well run and organized.
- The course! As you know I heart me some Tower of Terror 10 Miler. And you also know that I ran this half marathon back at the inaugural debut. Clearly, I've forgotten how awesome it is to run through Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios (Osborne Lights, anyone?!) and EPCOT — at NIGHT! The course was really amazing and did not disappoint me at ALL.
- My new running friends! I met my awesome college friend Sarah in WDW for this race and in tow she had all the amazing women from her family. I got to meet and run with Kim and Therese who were both so much and seriously such a joy to do this race with! I also ran into Brandi who was finishing up her 52nd race this year (!!!) which puts my 30 to SHAME. We met up at a critical time in the race for both of us and I'm so happy that we found each other!
- Running my own race {with Therese}! My new running friend, T, had been having a rough couple of weeks before the race and wanted to take it easy. Rather than push her, our running group made a plan and stuck to it. The fasties were off {and tried to meet up with us multiple times on the course — bless them!!} and T and I stuck together THE WHOLE RACE. I can't really stress how important this is for running morale especially when you're running with someone else: make a plan — COMMUNICATE THAT PLAN and your race goals to your partner or team and then STICK TO IT. Everyone crossed the finish line with tons of happy faces and the medal. No injuries and no hurt feelings and it was awesome.
- God, I love Disney World. As you can see from the photos below we had 0 fun.
I can't believe that's it — runDisney for my 30 races in 2013 is OVER. I seriously feel like I might cry. Thank GOD I confirmed our race weekend for the half marathon in January.
Were you at Wine and Dine? How was it?
04 11 / 2013
Race 26/30: Rockville 10K
I love local races. This one did not disappoint!
Top things:
- Proximity to home! I was an HOUR early for this race. It was so close to our house that I did not under any circumstances need to be there so early. Because I had time to kill I got most of our grocery shopping for the week done, though. Double win.
- 10K! Such a fun distance — challenging enough to be proud of but not long enough to ruin your morning. I was done running in my car and home with bagels AND Starbucks by 10:20 AM!
- Fall! Oh the colors and the brisk morning, it was perfect.
- MCRRC! So organized, awesome and professional. They are the MD equivalent to Pacers!
- Great run! I was averaging 9:30/min miles for the first 5K. I was tired and still recovering from the car accident on Friday (ugh) so I tapped the breaks and took it easy. I am proud that I'm finally getting my speed back!
I'm so excited to be so close to finishing my challenge! Next up is one of my fav races of all time! Dinsey's Wine and Dine Half Marathon!
02 11 / 2013
Race 25/30: Matthew Henson 5K Trail Run
This race was a pick up because I'm missing 4 {!!!} races that were previously on my schedule. Yikes. So, to make it up, I'm picking up some races through my local running club — mostly for free {thank goodness!} This race did not disappoint!
Top things:
- Low key! Part of the racing series with the race club is that they are particularly low key. You up, get signed up and that's it — off you go!
- MB! I love when MB is there with me cheering me on, snapping pictures. It's pretty great.
- Post race oreos! YUM, enough said.
- A great course. The Matthew Henson Trail is scenic and DOWNHILL. Hooray.
- Dude 5Ks. I think I need to race more 5K. 30 minutes and DONE!
Pretty happy, obvs!
Have you run any outstanding, local races recently?
30 10 / 2013
Race 24/30: runDisney Tower of Terror Ten Miler
The Tower Ten Miler is by far my favorite runDisney race {I'll let you know for sure after next year when I FINALLY run the WDW 1/2!}.
Top things about this year's race:
- My family! Everyone was on hand to cheer me on. After the 5K my mom said: I have so much respect for the running you do! It was so flattering and sweet. It was amazing to have them there again.
- runDisney upgrades on the race! Last year, as the inaugural running, a lot of runners had problems with the course. I actually found it totally find but the improvements this year {better lighting, better finisher's chute} were an added bonus. I feel like there was more on course entertainment which I adored {there was a spooky Steelers goblin. Obviously a nod to their dying season!} My mom, dad and MB could also access the finish line easily from DHS so that they could see me crossing the line. With the finisher's chute being redirected to the front of the park, the food stations were much less crowded which made meeting up with my fam so much easier this year.
- The Disney Hollywood Villain's Bash! We stayed later for the party this year and thankfully there was no barfing on any of the rides! We breezed onto ToT and Rockin' Roller Coaster, ate and saw some characters. We had been up since 5 AM {the previous morning} so we called it a night at about 1 AM. If I had a nap, I think I would definitely stay longer!
- 10 Miles! It's my favorite distance. Not too far, not too short. It was hotter than Hades again this year so I took it WAY easy and ran my own race. I had so much fun, a great soundtrack bumping and absolutely no tummy or hip issues. I seriously had such a great race. I finished smiling and ready to party!
- Team runDisney! I was so excited to meet up with some of my runDisney teammates. I got to meet so many of my online friends in real life: Heather, Krissy and Alex!!!! It completely made my race weekend!
- THE FOOD! We FINALLY had Tonga Toast post race and we hit up California Grill to celebrate MB's big 3-0. It was really a highlight for all of us!
I am so excited for next year's race! I literally cannot wait for February to roll around to register!
Did you run the Tower 10 Miler? How was it!?
14 10 / 2013
Race 23/30: Disney's Happy Haunted 5K Trail Run
This was the second running of this little race and my second time on the course. It is by far my favorite 5K! So happy it was part of my 30 this year!
Top things about this race:
- It was my mom and dad's first race ever! While I was on race 23 it was so fun to be with them.
- runDisney. I think next year, when I'm only trying to run you know 15-20 races, they might be the only races I'm signed up for. The race was so fun with so many spooky, villain-y characters on the course. There was even Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham! MB and I had just watched Robin Hood so we were so excited. The course is so gorgeous — set at the ESPN Wide World of sports, it's off road and through the beautiful woods. It is by far one of my favorite courses.
- My OUTFIT! This was the first race I've done where I'd dressed up beyond a tutu. I picked up an awesome red Team Sparkle Skirt (where I met Krissy!!), a Raw Threads Here Comes the Queen tank and my Minnie Ears. It was so much fun. I felt awesome.
- By race, I obviously mean walk. Since Jan and Paul were part of our racing entourage, we did a 16 min mile walk to our medals. It was really, really nice to take it super easy before the 10 miler that evening.
- ALEX!! I finally met one of my online BRFs, Alex. She was a course monitor at mile 2.96. I literally leaped into her arms. It was my favorite part of the race. Oh and the medals. That was cool, too.
Were you in WDW for the Tower of Terror 10 Miler weekend? Did you participate in this super happy and fun 5K?
30 9 / 2013
Race 22/30: The Great Race
This weekend was EPIC. MB and I hightailed it to Pittsburgh for homecoming with our very very best friends. We ate delicious Mexican, saw our Panthers actually win a game. And then I ran the Great Grace — Pittsburgh's 10K.
Top things about this race:
- Being home for the big event! Fun fact: The Great Race (5K) was the first race I ever pinned a bib on for, ever. It was really great to be able to include it in the 30 races this year.
- Jeff and Jenn. I met up — for the first time — with my Team Run Disney pal, Jeff who is awesome. He's a pretty serious runner with a lot of speed in him. But he stayed with me the whole time, coaching my through my first long run in almost 14 days. Almost halfway through we met up with my sorority sister, Jenn, and we completed the race as an awesome threesome!
- MB. Seriously. I want to give Mark some sort of medal or plaque for putting up with all these races. This one was probably the most stressful, so he definitely is going to get some sort of extra t shirt, candy, cookie at the next big event.
- Post race smiley cookies. I think by now everyone knows my extreme love of eatn parks smile cookies. That was seriously the highlight of the post race experience.
I have to say that overall I was pretty disappointed with the Great Race. The parking situation downtown was a nightmare, the buses were packed, the starting line was mobbed, the FINISH line was mobbed. It was rough goings.
Also, it was really really hot which is no one's fault. And I was way over dressed, which was my fault. I did not run a good race but I did have fun which is all that matters.
Were you one of 15,500 that toed the line this weekend in Pittsburgh?

Is there any surefire winning system in roulette?
If you ask me is there any surefire thing that can determine a fixed winning. This is one of the FAQ's yet the answer is simply "No"! The game of roulette cannot be beaten as it is perfectly a game of chance or lady luck. Even then, the same roulette system in your hands which loses may become a roulette winning system in my hands. Rake the whole internet and still a site boasts for a perfect winning system in roulette, it will turn out a mere myth. Well, over the years of my experience in this game, I conclude that you must give vent to back losses. Another main thing is to know when to quit the game and not to get greedy.
To speak volumes, take any casino game whether it is blackjack, slots, poker or bingo there is no perfect winning system in any of these just because all these games are based on lady luck, so if you expect you can win in a particular casino game just because of your skills, it is never possible. So it is better to develop and use a self-created winning strategy for blackjack and you can be a winner.
Besides this, what you can additionally is to wager smart, make the best out of it and revise if necessary. So from now onwards, do not look for winning methods at roulette, believe in yourself, look at the brighter side of the picture and winning will be yours.
UK Roulette features
Roulette is a game that varies in gaming rules and strategies and that from one country to another. For example, if you play roulette in the UK, the gaming rules and strategies will differ from the US as well.
UK roulette includes as many gaming rules and strategies as well. Besides this, the online casinos have helped a lot in making the game more popular than ever had. This is actually a game between you and the casino dealer and not between opponent players. This game can be played by maximum eight players where they have to buy variegated chips and if a particular player wins, they can encash the value of chips into real money.
UK roulette is completely different from the US roulette in aspects of table layouts, seating modes and playing chips, which are Wheel chips and House Chips.
When it comes to speed, UK roulette is three times slower than the US, so it is extremely necessary to ensure each and every detail about the game you are going to play. This will also help you in winning better odds.
Above all, UK roulette does not allow you to move or change the bet whilst both the wheel and the ball stops rotating and the dealer puts the dolly on the winning number. Once this is accomplished, the game restarts.
Roulette is all the rage favored hugely by most people. So, next time before you play UK roulette, ensure the basic strategies and fundamentals of roulette game.

" EIZO FlexScan S2100 - LCD display - TFT - 21.3" - 1600 x 1200 - 300 cd/m2 - 1000:1 - 8 ms - 0.27 mm - DVI-I, VGA - grey "
This 21.3" monitor is perfect for CAD/CAM and DTP professionals as well as use in call centers and offices requiring a large screen, sharp text and images, and fast response times.
To enhance moving image playback capabilities, an overdrive circuit is included. Used with many LCD TVs, an overdrive circuit vastly improves the LCD panel's response time for changing between midtones or gray levels, which is necessary to display color images without blurring.
BrightRegulator function keeps the screen at the ideal brightness level under all lightning conditions. A sensor on the front panel takes readings of the ambient brightness and signals the backlight to adjust the screen brightness accordingly.
The Fine Contrast function offers five different imaging modes - Text, Picture, Movie, Custom and sRGB - for the one that best suits the type of application you are using. Toggling between modes is simple with a button on the front panel.
Part of the bundled ScreenManager Pro for LCD utility software, Image Mode Assignment lets you assign a Fine Contrast mode to a specific application. Whenever the application is selected, the screen automatically changes to the assigned mode. Also included is a WindowMovie mode, which darkens the surrounding background so the video window appears clearer and brighter.
10-bit Gamma Correction ensures smooth, accurate color tones by converting the 8-bit PC data to 10-bit, assigning the ideal gamma values, then returning the data to 8- bit format for display.
With both DVI-D and D-Sub mini 15-pin inputs, you can use a computer that has either a digital or an analog graphics board (or both if connected to two computers), and quickly switch between the inputs via a front panel button.

Changing Diapers
A mother's touch while she is changing her baby's diapers or while she is bathing her is a large determining factor in the formation of her personality. A baby can instantly tell if the person touching her is enjoying it or not.
Get right in there and enjoy changing diapers. There's nothing you can get on your hands that doesn't wash off with water. If you like cuddling her but touch her lightly and gingerly when you're changing her, she'll learn to think that her natural body functions are revolting, which can have a strong effect on her personality. If you enjoy cleaning all her cracks and folds, and like seeing a nice, clean plump bottom, she'll grow up knowing her body is okay. I like to squeeze my kids' bottoms. They like it too.
From Spiritual Midwifery by Ina May Gaskin
✨🎶✨ (Taken with Instagram)
I'm going through a divorce and I'm happy that it's finally official, although the image of a family is still something I wish is something I wish I would have been able to give my son. I know that it's for the best. We have been split up for about 3 1/2 years so I've have dated during that time but I haven't found "the one" I found many but not the one. I'm talking to someone now and when we are together or the rare moment he's loving and sincere it's amazing but I'm just so confused, lost, and even lonely at times
😊 (Taken with Instagram)
Sad how times have changed (Taken with Instagram)
If I'm the gun, then you're my trigger,
baby you bring me closer to that point of excitement,
that point of blank, of absolute nothingness,
because you're the recreation of my dreams,
my perfection incarnate.
It must be fate, that red string
wrapped around your finger,
somehow made its way…
Love this poem

If a parent disagrees with an action, the parent(s) may file a request for a hearing with the contractor within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date the Notice of Action was received. Upon the filing of a request for hearing, the intended action shall be suspended until the review process has been completed. The review process is complete when the appeal process has been exhausted or when the parent(s) abandons the appeal process.
Within ten (10) calendar days following the receipt of the request for a hearing, the contractor shall notify the parent(s) of the time and place of the hearing. The time and place of the hearing shall, to the extent possible, be convenient for the parent(s).
The hearing shall be conducted by an administrative staff person who shall be referred to as "The hearing officer." The hearing officer shall be a staff member in higher authority than the staff person who made the contested decision.
The parent(s) or parent's authorized representative is required to attend the hearing. If the parent or the parent's authorized representative fails to appear at the hearing, the parent will be deemed to have abandoned his or her appeal. Only persons directly affected by the hearing shall be allowed to attend.
The contractor shall arrange for the presence of an interpreter at the hearing, if one is requested by the parent(s).
The hearing officer shall explain to the parents(s) the legal, regulatory, or policy basis for the intended action.

The hearing officer shall mail or deliver to the parent(s) a written decision within ten (10) calendar days after the hearing.
Appeal Procedure for CDD Review

If the parent(s) do(es) not submit an appeal request to the CDD within fourteen (14) calendar days, the parents' appeal process shall be deemed abandoned and the contractor may implement the intended action.
The parent(s) shall specify in the appeal request the reason(s) why he/she believes the contractor's decision was incorrect. A copy of the contractor's notice of intended action and written decision shall be submitted by the parent(s) with the appeal request.
Upon receipt of an appeal request, the CDD may request copies of the basic data file and other relevant materials from the contractor. The CDD may also conduct any investigations, interview, or mediation necessary to resolve the appeal.
The decision of the CDD shall be mailed or delivered to the parent(s) and to the contractor within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the appeal request.
Contractor Compliance with CDD Decision
The contractor shall comply with the decision of the CDD immediately upon receipt thereof. The contractor shall be reimbursed for child care and development services delivered to the family which is appealing during the appeals process. If a contractor's determination that a family is ineligible is upheld by the CDD, services to the family shall cease upon receipt of the CDD's decision by the contractor.

Technorati's Founder and CEO, David Sifry, chats with BusinessWeek about competition from the "big guys", system architecture, growing pains, advertising, and a new service aimed at "people who need a deeper view of a company or its products."
From the interview:
BusinessWeek: You say you welcome competition from Google, Yahoo, and MSN, should they decide to offer blog search. Why would you welcome such Net heavyweights as rivals?
David Sifry: The larger question is, is it really competition? I look at what Google and Yahoo and other companies in this space are doing, and they're really fantastic at helping you pick out what's the best reference site for something. You go to Google and type in wine, and it will tell you the best places to buy wine. But if you really want to find out what the world's leading wine experts are talking about, Google isn't really built to do that.
Unfortunately, you'll not read about what Technorati is doing to combat the rapidly increasing amount of blog and feed spam out there. Also, no info about what criteria Sifry and crew use to reach the currently posted number of more than 14 million blogs that Technorati claims to be tracking.

Here's a startling statistic from the American Heart Association: congenital heart defects are the most common birth defect, affecting one in every 100 infants born each year in the United States.
Since heart disease affects infants, toddlers and young children, Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week, February 7–14, was created by the Congenital Heart Information Network (CHIN) to heighten awareness of this condition. Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week is intended to coincide with American Heart Month in February.
An estimated 40,000 babies are born with congenital heart defects (CHDs) in the U.S. each year. Nearly 1,800 infants with CHD die each year.
What is CHD? Early in a pregnancy, for unknown reasons, a baby's heart may not form properly, resulting in structural abnormalities. Although some babies are diagnosed with CHD at birth, newborns aren't routinely screened. The consequences of a late diagnosis can have serious, lifelong implications. CHD is the most common birth defect and the leading cause of birth defect-related deaths. Signs and symptoms in an infant can include:
Testing for CHD is available, and the process is painless and inexpensive. Pulse oximetry (Pulse Ox) testing has been recommended for inclusion in the newborn screening program by leading groups such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the American College of Cardiology.
For more information on CHDs including signs and symptoms in older children, talk to your health care professional or visit www.tchin.org.

Your comfort level is probably the best reason for choosing a gym that is right for you, especially if you have friends that will meet you there. How do you know, though, that you are going to be motivated to keep going back to the gym? That is the focus of this week's "Sharp Advice" from former Lady Raider Coach Marsha Sharp.
Whether you are a weekend warrior, a workout fanatic, or just beginning a fitness plan, it is important to choose the right fitness center to fit your needs. Location can be one factor in selecting a fitness center. The closer it is to your house you are probably more likely you are going to go or if you work near a gym then you can just do that on your way home. Convenience is important when picking a gym.
Finally, you should decide if you want to sign a contract with the fitness center. Some people do not like to sign a contract. On the other hand, a contract might be just the motivation you need. Maybe you have a commitment issue but when you know that you have to pay for the membership for a year, it can be a good motivator.
While deciding on a fitness center that works for you may be tough, the decision to get fit and exercise can lead to a healthier life and prevent disease.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) - The problems with drugs continue to grow, and so do the numbers of people seeking help to break the addiction. Earlier this year, the Push Back Against Drugs educational efforts began in Marathon County to not only reach out to help people trying to break the addiction, but to educate people and try to prevent that first experimentation with drugs.
Melissa Dotter is with the county's health department and the Push Back campaign. She says more people are coming to them for help or to offer their help. "We're definitely seeing an increase of people that maybe haven't been involved in the past get involved with things like our community coalition, the AODA partnership. We've seen an increase in talking with law enforcement, we've seen an increase with calls to the local tip lines, we've seen an increase in people that are working with our different neighborhood groups here. Just in the City of Wausau for example, we've actually worked with a couple of volunteers and gone out and done door-to-door conversations with some of those Push Back materials."
Dotter says they've taken the Push Back Against Drugs message to several businesses, government groups, and community organizations. "We've had a number of different organizations and groups contacting us, wanting presentations on this information, and we're actually looked at across the state as a leader when it comes to getting the community engaged through our Pushback campaign."
Heroin and other opiates have become one of the leading drug problems over the past few years. Wausau Health Services is one outpatient clinic that helps patients manage withdrawal symptoms with controlled doses of other drugs such as methadone. Dotter says many people don't understand treating a drug problem with another drug, but there is a good reason for this. "While we may be replacing a drug with a drug, that drug is what's keeping them at a level, where they feel normal, they can be productive in society because when you go through withdrawal from opiates, it's like the worst flu you ever had, depression kicks in, everything is just down, and you can't physically be productive. For people that are getting that treatment, it's not getting them high by any means. It's getting them to a level where they can be functioning people in society."
Deb Piskoty is the Director at Wausau Health Services. She says methadone is only one of the three common medications used to manage withdrawal symptoms. "We also use two other medications. One is called suboxone, and the other is called subutex, both wonderful medications and approximately one-third of our patients are on those medications. It's kind of showing a shift in terms of treatments, and both are very good."
If you or a friend or family member is seeking help with an addiction, you can contact the Marathon County Health Department's Drug Free Communities programs at 715-261-1962 or the United Way First Call number 2-1-1. The contact number for Wausau Health Services is 800-610-4673.

The Last Fishermen
This film was born out of numerous visits to low impact fishermen all over the English coast, whom we've been working with closely this year. We made it to give these fishermen, who use sustainable methods, a chance to tell their story, in their own words. The one consistent theme that kept emerging on our visits was this: their future, and the future of our fish stocks, is under real threat. European and domestic fishing laws favour the most powerful parts of the European fishing industry, often with the highest environmental impact, while shutting out those who fish in the right way.
The eight men in this film represent a handful of some of the wonderful people we met from all over the coast, who sat down with us for tea, invited us into their communities, their boats and homes, and spent hours talking to us, both on and off camera. The fishermen that we've spoken to all felt that their voices simply aren't being heard – but this film is an opportunity to change that.
By working together, we can be a voice for real change that will salvage a future for our fish, fishermen and the coastal communities that rely on them. You can join us in giving our sustainable fishermen a fair catch. Be a fisherman's friend and send our petition to fisheries minister Richard Benyon to demand a reformed Common Fisheries Policy, that gives fishing rights to sustainable fishermen, ends destructive fishing practices and puts the health of our seas and fish stocks at its heart.
You can also catch the film on the big screen. We've screened it at 40 cinemas across the country over the last few months. Check the list on the right to see where it's playing near you.

He passed away this week
Brain tumor, are there any others?
Join us in a spirit of prayer
Gracious Lord. . . . .
Beyond the walls of this church
Who speaks for him,
For all the families?
Do not abandon us
The organ plays softly, gently
Soothing as a mother's touch
Blessing the newborns
Streaming through rainbow hues
Tongues of fire descend Precious gems of belief
Praying for me
Is there something here, Is there really something here?

Lawrence Wittner: At this point, we might well wonder if it was such a good idea to overthrow a democratic, secular nationalist like Mossadeq to preserve the profits of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (now renamed BP). Indeed, given the sordid record of BP and other giant oil companies, we might wonder why we tolerate them at all.
What's Next for the Nuclear Disarmament Movement?
Lawrence Wittner: Reflecting on the contrast between the Obama administration's nuclear abolition rhetoric and its record, Kevin Martin, executive director of America's largest peace organization, Peace Action, concluded that supporters of a nuclear-free world needed to wake up to the reality that the administration's nuclear disarmament activities were going to be quite limited without very substantial movement pressure.
Rand Paul Could Use a Lesson from My Father on Discrimination
Lawrence Wittner: In one way, Rand Paul is quite right. Anti-discrimination laws do turn the tables on businessmen, who find that they can no longer mistreat employees and customers on the basis of race, religion, national origins, or gender. And isn't that ban on discriminatory behavior a good idea?
Replacing International Oppression with International Aid
Lawrence Wittner: So why should humanitarian aid be extraordinary? Why not make it routine? Long before the earthquake, Haitians were the poorest people in the hemisphere, suffering from widespread hunger, disease, and illiteracy. Could not the United States — the richest nation in the world with a public whose major anxieties (to judge from the vast attention given to weight loss) seem to result from over-eating — manage to share a bit of its affluence by regularly providing food aid to starving Haitians?

TEAMS: Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers got a big piece of business out of the way by re-signing linebacker Clay Matthews, but their top priority still remains unsigned. According to Kareem Copeland of NFL.com, there hasn't been much movement since the Matthews deal was announced. However, team GM Ted Thompson said the silence isn't due to a lack of progress, it's just standard operating procedure: "We like to keep everything in-house, make sure we handle our business professionally. There is not a lot of buzz around these contract negotiations, as well as Aaron (Rodgers') here in the near future. So I'm sure we will wake up one day and hopefully they will announce he is the highest-paid quarterback. In the meantime, you are not going to be hearing much grumbling from anyone."

Fundraising in a New Ear of Venture Capital
"The good news is given where you are now your odds of raising capital have been raised dramatically. Being in SmartCamp raises your profile. The bad news is it's a very very hard environment for raising capital."
You need a good pitch. "You have to get the investor to say "wow." There are so many companies out there. You have to stand out. In fact, you have to get the venture capitalist to fall in love with you. "Venture capital is a stunningly emotional process." Due diligence for a VC is about making sure they're not making a stupid mistake because they fell in love with a startup.
Raising money is a sales process. I pitched four startups to VCs over a 12 year period. 90% of the time, I failed.
–Before you talk to a VC, you have to generate momentum for your company.
–Target the right venture capitalists, the ones that have shown interest in your markets. Find information through your business partners. "Go after them with a rifle, not with a shotgun."
–VCs want to co-invest with other VCs, typically. They want to syndicate their deals. You have to help build the syndicate. You have to drive the process. "We call it herding the cats."
–Manage the process. Have your database of prospects. Set goals. Have your to-do list. Follow through step by step.

Artificial baits include spoons, jigs, ribbon baits, rattler baits
& streamer baits. I have been using products from Newfields Baits
for a while and their green lipped mussel extract is simply amazing.
The exception to this rule is when fishing structure, there will always be
a calm spot behind structure that cat fish rest in and it will be natural
for your bait to settle in this area.

I spent this past weekend reflecting on the changes that will soon affect my life. In about two months, I will be starting medical school, something I have been looking forward to for quite awhile now. I am excited, but I am also nervous. It seems weird to say, but I think I am most nervous about meeting new people and making new friends. I consider myself a bit of a shy person, and am worried I will spend the next few years feeling isolated and alone. I know this is an irrational fear, but it's just something I can't seem to stop thinking about.
Since graduating this past December, I have been spending time with family and friends, which I will have to temporarily leave behind as I start this new chapter in my life. It's not like I'll never see them, but it's different going from seeing someone a couple times a week to seeing them every few months. My boyfriend and I have also been spending a lot of time together, preparing for the distance we will encounter as I start school in August.
So here's to making the most out of these next two months and remembering to enjoy myself. I am looking forward to the challenges ahead, and the many opportunities and experiences I am going to encounter.

This excerpt is from The Photoshop CS4 Companion for Photographers . Many photographers, including the pros, feel overwhelmed by all the editing options Photoshop provides. The Photoshop CS4 Companion for Photographers not only shows you which tools you'll need most often and how to use them, the book walks you though an enjoyable and efficient workflow that makes it easy to process your images using new user-friendly features that come with Photoshop CS4.
Most subjects will have some darkening under the eyes. Generally speaking, I think it looks unnatural to remove this characteristic completely. But you can do your subject a great service by softening those "bags under the eyes."
This technique doesn't completely remove dark circles under the eyes, but it does soften them dramatically. You can also use this recipe to correct hot areas on the forehead, and a variety of other imperfections.
If you want to see how your correction looks without the marching ants but without getting rid of your selection, press ⌘-H (Ctrl-H) to hide the selection outline. Press the keystroke again to bring it back.

FRIDAY, Oct. 25 (HealthDay News) -- Men with certain inherited variations in their Y chromosome may have a higher risk of prostate cancer, according to a large new study.
Researchers from the University of Utah School of Medicine said the identification of these genetic mutations could help scientists develop tests to determine men's risk for developing the disease and also improve prostate cancer treatments.
In conducting the study, the researchers used the Utah Population Database, which dates back to the 1800s and identifies more than 6.5 million people, spanning 15 generations. The study was narrowed down to 1.25 million men who had at least two parents, four grandparents and six or eight great-grandparents also in the database.
All of the men who did not have a father in the database were labeled as "founders" and assigned a specific Y chromosome identification (YID). Founders' sons, grandsons and great-grandsons also were assigned the same YID. Of these groups, nearly 260,000 had at least two men sharing the same Y chromosome.
The men's genealogical and medical records also were linked to the Utah Cancer Registry, enabling the researchers to determine which of the men developed prostate cancer.
The researchers said that since most of the Y chromosome does not recombine during cell division, it is passed almost entirely unchanged from father to son.
"As a result, each male resident of Utah shares the Y chromosome of his father and his father's father and so on," study leader Lisa Cannon-Albright said in a news release from the American Society of Human Genetics.
"This provided the ability to estimate the risk for prostate cancer in independent Y chromosomes represented in Utah," said Cannon-Albright, chief of the genetic epidemiology division at the University of Utah School of Medicine.
Once the researchers estimated the number of prostate cancer cases expected to occur in each YID group, they compared this estimate to the actual number of prostate cancers.
Focusing on 1,000 YID groups that included between about 200 and 2,300 men, the study revealed the prostate cancer incidence was significantly higher than expected in 73 specific Y chromosome groups.
The researchers said that in one YID group of nearly 9,800 men, they predicted that about 45 prostate cancer cases would have occurred. When they compared their estimate to the state's cancer registry, they found that 65 men in the group had actually been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
A separate group of about 500 men revealed that 26 had prostate cancer. The researchers had estimated, however, that about 10 cases would develop among this group.
Among the men who did not share the Y chromosome of the founder, 39 developed prostate cancer. This rate was not statistically different from the 36 cases of the disease predicted by the researchers, who concluded that there is a Y chromosome-linked risk for prostate cancer that is not seen among men who do not share a common Y chromosome.
The study findings were scheduled for presentation Friday at the American Society of Human Genetics meeting, in Boston. The data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

The American Cancer Society has more information on risk factors for prostate cancer.

One Shoulder Tulle Ball Gown with Lace Appliques Style CKP421 98 99
AMAZING!!!!! This was the last dress i tried on. I was only there to look and try on not to buy but when my mom picked this one out and i saw my self in the mirror i knew that this was the dress for me and that i had to have it!!!! December 28, 2011
Perfect I originally purchased a dress i bought on my first appointment. I went in 2 months later for my fitting and saw this dress as i walked in the door. I knew i needed to try that dress on before i was fitted for the one i bought. So i did just that and walked out of the store with this dress. Totally not what i originally wanted but it was stunning and i knew i had to have it. December 22, 2011
love, love, LOVE This dress is absolutely gorgeous and does look amazing once it's on. When I walked into the store it was on display and my mom and bridesmaids pointed it out and I told them "No" because it wasn't my style. I was looking for something more simple....After 3 dresses my consultant was like "I have something I want you to try on" and out she brought this amazing dress....I was still apprehensive but once I put it on, I did not want to take it off! My whole party was crying even a stranger that was walking by started to cry LoL...This was definitely the dress. It arrived the other day and I tried it on and I still love it!! I can't wait for my beach wedding in June! December 22, 2011
Beautiful Ball Gown This dress was very unique and not something I would have seen myself in but I can "this" close to buying it, although it was beautiful and it was something I could see myself in, this was not my dress. Although I might have changed my mind if it was in my price range. Also if you do not wear a full enough slip it hide the embroidery on the front of the bottom of the skirt. Which was kind of disappointing when all I could do was look at my feet to try to see it. December 22, 2011

The United States could save 60,000 lives a year by boosting efforts to change behavior that puts us at risk for cancer, says the Institute of Medicine (IOM). The IOM urges the government and health industry to focus on helping people to stop smoking, watch their diet and weight, exercise, limit alcohol intake and seek screenings for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer. The right programs can help people improve such health-related behaviors, the IOM says. Such steps could prevent three out of 10 cancer deaths by 2015, the report adds. The IOM is part of the National Academy of Sciences, created by the federal government as an independent adviser on the sciences.

…like swapping bodies with them for a day so you can go around insulting people and talking shit about their friends to their friend's faces, then strip naked and go around snogging other girl's boyfriend's then act really retarded or even kill someone, so when you switch back to your own body and they're back in their own you'll be fine and they'll get locked up and everyone will hate them and everyone who pretends to be their friend will hate them (cause really they only hang around with them for the attention and if they're a guy a blowjob once in a while) and I will be like. Mwahaha, that's what you get, you whore.
Yes, I meant what I said and I said what I meant, an elephant's faithful one hundred percent!
Lemony Snicket
(via deadmarch)
Right, so I keep dreaming about this guy I used to go to school with, until he left like a year and a half ago (Not gonna mention his name as that would be completely embarrassing, even though there is no way he'll ever see this, haha) Anyway I used to fancy him for a long time, and then I realised he was completely not my type and the only reason for me liking him was cause he teased me a lot and I liked the attention, terrible I know :/
Anyhoo, last night I had this dream that he came back to school and we were somehow the best of friends - then (getting completely off track) the guy I like just now was in it and strange stuff happened - but this isn't the first time I've dreamt about him… the old guy not the new guy.
So I like dreamt he was chasing me with this grass cutter ages and ages ago, when he was still at school, and I keep dreaming about him, but in strange ways. I'm a little scared. I mean, I've not seen him in what? two years, so what does that mean? That I'm waiting to see him again? I'll admit that I'm curious about him, but I don't think about him 24/7. :') This seems really silly, but I'm quite annoyed with it, so I'll just wait and see if it'll happen again!
Oh shit.
Gotta get up and shower. Have breakfast. Make bed. Do hair.
Take dog a walk. Pick up my friend's presents from another friend's house.
Come home. Have lunch. Finish making a present. Make another present.
Wrap presents. Tidy my room. Decorate my room cause it's shameful.
Hoover. Put on dinner. Watch tv. Have dinner. Go on laptop.
Go to Shannon's. Watch The Grinch. Exchange presents.
Come home. Go to sleep.
And make tiny origami whilst doing all of that. Fuck yeah!
I feel like Bauld Harry only has a few days to live.
I sure hope he gets to change back into his human form before he does!
If he doesn't I might just
have to kill myself cry my eyes out.
…and I feel a rant coming on, and an unexplainable urge to type a large quantity of bullshit, so here I go.
It's getting quite annoying that people seem to think that Bauld Harry is just a brussel sprout, when actual fact he's not. Sure he's taken the form of a bussel sprout, but thats only because my friend gave me a brussel sprout for christmas and I thought it be funny to draw Bauld Harry on it. This was not the creation of Bauld Harry.
Bauld Harry was drawn on a piece of yellow sugar paper at my friend's house when we were watching Harry Potter. I was drawing a Harry Collage and I had only drawn half of harry from the cover of The Philosopher's Stone DVD and hadn't completed the hair. We laughed for ages and we still crease at it till this day. THAT is the true Bauld Harry, not the brussel sprout.
When we spoke about it at school - how people had been talking to us about Bauld Harry - we decided that Bauld Harry (the version of H.P. drawn on paper) had drunken some polyjuice potion and turned into a brussel sprout. My dear friend pointed out that to make a polyjuice potion work you needed hair, and brussel sprouts had no hair… I felt that I should've said he was an animagus, but I had already said otherwise and didn't want to change my mind.
I realise that I'm talking about Harry Potter with no hair and a random brussel sprout, but I feel like Bauld Harry is - in a weird yet wonderful way - my son. And I do get that I sound like a complete crack head, (you can decide if I am or not…) but people need to understand what Bauld Harry is and that he does symbolise something… two idiots having a good time and enjoying one of the best creations ever made (Harry Potter).
Now I just need to accept that he is a brussel sprout and he will SLOWLY decompose, but decompose nonetheless. It's Christmas time too.
Just needed to talk about this.
It's a close subject to my heart <3
