Topic - Dartmoor 13 Mile Charity Trek
MC South West - on 16 Sep 2013
Brush off your walking boots and head over to Dartmoor in the heart of Devon on Sunday 13th October for the Dartmoor Trek, a 13 mile walk in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care.
This circular walk starts in Widecombe in the Moor and takes in Hamel Down Ridge, Hound Tor and Haytor Tramway before returning you to Widecombe to collect your well deserved medal and certificate and all important Devonshire Cream Tea!
Every walker will get a map of the route on the morning and the route is marked with a series of markers, marshals and checkpoints to make sure no one gets lost on the moors!
Registration for the trek is Ł15. Once registered you will received a trekking t-shirt to wear on the day and your walkers pack, giving you all the information you will need for the event and hints and tips on raising sponsorship. Marie Curie nurses provide free high quality end of life nursing care to patients in their own home, as well as emotional support to their loved ones. All sponsorship you raise will help to provide more hours of this nursing care in your local community.
Last years Dartmoor Trek raised over Ł20,000 for the nursing service, be a part of this years walk to help smash through that target! The number of walkers we can permit on the event is limited. To reserve your place call 0845 052 4184 or visit www.mariecurie.org.uk/mountain or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more details

Winona's Birth Story
When I was 19 and in my second year of college, my boyfriend of three years and I discovered we were pregnant. I was devastated but knew I would love being pregnant. It took a lot of courage to tell my parents because I grew up in an extremely traditional family but when we did, they weren't as mad as we thought they would be.
Three months later, Larry and I got married as we had planned to do anyway. It was quite the journey: living with my parents, going to school full time, working, having a husband, and being pregnant. I really wouldn't have it any other way though. I loved being pregnant and it was so amazing to see my body change and feel my little girl moving inside of me. I have never felt so beautiful than I did when I was pregnant. My sisters were so excited to meet their new little niece and my mom just couldn't stop talking about it.
I was planning to take leave from work at The Cheesecake Factory a few days before my due date of December 17. At my appointment on November 27, my doctor told me I was 75 percent effaced and one centimeter dilated. He didn't think I would go into labor for another three weeks which was OK with me because he was going to be out of town that weekend and finals for college were the following week. As excited as I was about the baby was coming soon, I really wanted to get done with school first.
On Friday, December 1 at 8:30 PM, I was at work when I felt an odd sensation in my pelvic area. I asked one of the girls I worked with what a contraction felt like. She told me hers felt like someone kneading her uterus. That is exactly how it felt for me too. I went to my manager and told him I was having contractions. I have never been one to overreact so I was pretty calm, although excited too. My manager started freaking out and asked if I needed a ride home or if I needed to call someone. I assured him the contractions really weren't too bad, but I should get home. At home, I told my dad I thought I was having contractions. He told me to sit down, put my feet up, and wait for Larry to get home from work.
The contractions started coming closer together but they still didn't hurt. I knew it might be a while until Larry got home because we were hit with a huge ice storm. As Larry was coming home at 10:30 PM in his '91 Firebird Formula (perfect for ice storms!) he got stuck on our street and couldn't get into the driveway. My dad went out to help him and told him he had better get me to the hospital because I was going to have the baby.
I was ready to go with all our bags packed and was standing by the door. Larry came up the walkway in total panic not knowing what to do until I said it was OK and that all we needed to do was get in the car and drive to the hospital. He finally got it together enough to help me to the car and we left.
The contractions became more intense on our way to the hospital, and when we arrived at about 11:45 PM, we went straight to the ER. They told me to fill out a symptoms card. I sat down and started filling it out when Larry came in and freaked out about me being in there. He went up to the window to argue about why I wasn't being seen, and that's when my water broke. The lady told us to go to labor and delivery. I went into a room where a nurse took some blood and asked me some questions so I could get an epidural.
I was four centimeters dilated when they wheeled me into the labor room. It had been about an hour and I still hadn't gotten the epidural. Larry was extremely upset and overheard a nurse say they lost my blood work. A nurse came in to take some more blood and ask some more questions so I could get my epidural. All of a sudden my contractions were so bad I couldn't breathe or talk. The nurse kept asking the questions even though I was clearly unable to answer. Larry started yelling at the nurse saying that I was in pain and for him to leave me alone. I asked if a doctor was coming because the contractions were so intense. They informed me that they had just called the on-call doctor and he was on his way into the hospital.
About two seconds after that, I got an extremely intense urge to push. I told the nurses I was pushing and they checked and said I was 10 centimeters. One was trying to hold my legs closed and told me to wait until the doctor came and I said she had better move before I kicked her in the face. So they finally believed that I meant business and let me push. It took five pushes and my beautiful little girl, Winona, came into the world at 2:52 AM. She was seven pounds, 10 ounces, and 20¼ inches long. It was the most amazing thing in the world to see Winona and watch as my husband melted at the sight of his little girl for the first time.

The most growth occured in video games (159% increase), and other hot industries included sports, consumer electronics, event tickets, and jewelry.
What does this mean for e-tailers? If you want to grow faster than 20% a year, you need to find a way to steal business from your competitors (or buy them outright). The days where there was plenty of business for everyone are long gone (if they ever really existed). The next few years are going to be very interesting. It is very clear to me that the quickest way to grow right now is through acquisitions, and I think that there may be a lot of bargains available in the near future.

HoopsHype Rodney Stuckey rumors
Meantime, Singler's backup appears most likely to be Rodney Stuckey, who also is playing as backup shooting guard. "L (Lawrence Frank) said that to me as well, so I've just got to be ready for anything," Stuckey, who began his career as a point guard, said of potentially extensive playing time at small forward. Booth Newspapers
All appeared normal for the Pistons two nights after Frank deactivated Stuckey in the Pistons' victory at Orlando. It was confirmed minutes later when Frank told the media Stuckey would assume his spot in the playing rotation against the Bucks later that evening. Neither would disclose the reason for the disciplinary measure, but both admitted there was a difference of opinion. "Things happen every single day," Frank said. "So with it, you deal with it and you move on. "I'm one of those guys, I put it out there and we move on. There's no grudges; you just move from it." Detroit Free Press
Stuckey was in a joking mood with reporters, who noted his missing front tooth from a collision in December. He said he has a retainer and has to wait a little bit for a more permanent solution, saying he wasn't cool with the hockey-player look. But kidding aside, Stuckey said he was cool with Frank. They hashed out their issues during an optional workout Monday afternoon and all issues are apparently resolved. "We good," Stuckey said. "Me and (Frank) are fine. Sometimes you have disagreements with one another. He did what he had to do, and I respect that." Detroit Free Press
Vincent Goodwill: Frank on Stuckey: "Things happen every single day. You deal with it and you move on." #Pistons Twitter @vgoodwill
Vincent Ellis: Corey Maggette said Stuckey is dealing with an ear infection. Had been describes "migraines." #Pistons Twitter @Vincent_Ellis56
"I feel like I'm not in a rhythm at all," Stuckey said about his poor shooting. "I just feel like last year, I was having the ball in my hand, being able to create, and play in transition. Coming in the second quarter when Brandon Knight went to the bench last year, being the point guard, and being able to use my post position on smaller guards, I just feel like I'm not using that right now. " TalkBasket
Vincent Goodwill: Jonas Jerebko and Rodney Stuckey said if the #Pistons don't make the playoffs then the season is a failure Twitter @vgoodwill
Pistons guard Rodney Stuckey never has been the outspoken type. The sixth-year guard could almost be termed reclusive; he prefers to stay out of the spotlight. But in recent time, he's taken steps to come out of his shell, to tell his seldom-heard personal story — and to help Detroit youngsters. Stuckey made a $10,000 donation to Blackwell Institute, a school on Detroit's deep east side, and spoke to the students Thursday about the importance of education. Detroit News
Wroten believes he's ready for the NBA partly because he's worked out with NBA guards such as Nate Robinson, Jamal Crawford, Brandon Roy and Rodney Stuckey. Scouts say Wroten's shooting can be fixed and is not a major concern, given his intangibles. Memphis Commercial Appeal
Rodney Stuckey: "Our goal next year is to get back to the playoffs. That's our goal. We know what we have to do. We'll see who we get in the draft, see what changes we make, hopefully we get Kyle Singler back next year, and hopefully we'll get there." Booth Newspapers
In the other video, Stuckey talked with Rick Mahorn, now part of the team's broadcast crew, about being a father and his post-NBA plans. Stuckey said his daughter, Lexi, enjoyed coming to the games, which was no surprise. Then the discussion turned to what Stuckey, 26, would do after his playing career. "I love working with kids, so hopefully doing something that's in that field," he said. "Or being an assistant coach or something. I don't want to be a head coach, but I can be an assistant coach. Maybe for a college team or something like that. I think that would be fun." Detroit Free Press
Pistons guard Rodney Stuckey told Pistons.com he plans to be around the team's practice facility quite a bit this summer. Aside from a July trip to Sweden with Jonas Jerebko as his tour guide and a Memorial Day visit home to Seattle, Stuckey plans to be in Auburn Hills working on his game. Detroit Free Press
"Later in the summer, I'm going to try to get the guys back out to work out here for at least a month," Stuckey told Pistons.com. "We'll have our draft picks here as well, hopefully. Just try to change the atmosphere around in here. The chemistry is there, but just getting in work together will be good for us." Detroit Free Press
Jeff Zillgitt: Pistons took calls (Tayshaun Prince, Rodney Stuckey, Austin Daye) & made calls but person w/knowledge says deal unlikely at trade deadline. Twitter
Pistons president Joe Dumars said he brought back Tayshaun Prince and Rodney Stuckey because they are important parts of the Pistons' rebuilding process. "Those are assets. Rebuilding is not about letting assets walk," Dumars said Wednesday night on 971 The Ticket. "Stuckey is 24 or 25 (he's 25). He's a young guy and part of the rebuilding process. Tayshaun Prince, when you look at rebuilding, there is always going to be one veteran you have going forward with young guys." Detroit News
After signing a three-year, $25-million deal that caused him to miss the first week of training camp because of negotiations, he is off to his slowest start since he missed 25 games as a rookie because of a broken left hand. Hampered by a sore left groin that has caused him to miss four games, Stuckey's numbers are down across the board after a promising month to end last season. So you can add another questionable signing to president of basketball operations Joe Dumars' résumé, right? Actually, on second glance, the deal makes even more sense -- especially when you consider that the third year of the deal is only guaranteed for around $4 million. Stuckey probably is making a little below his market value, since he is guaranteed only $21 million. It shows you the Pistons hedged their bets by not only giving Stuckey a three-year deal -- they also didn't break the bank. But it also goes to show what little leverage Stuckey had during negotiations. Detroit Free Press

Take off the flag and the 01 and it is a great looking car.
I'm sorry... but this latest fad of making a General Lee out of anything with a Dodge name on it has gotten way out of hand. Makes about as much sense as someone trying to make a Mustang into a "Starsky and Hutch" lookalike
So NO, that car doesn't look good as a "General Lee",
and while I'm at it...
NO, it doesn't even look good with the black wheels either. Why does "powercoating" rims look good to some people? IMHO black wheels make a car look CHEAP. Black wheels may look OK on an old Model T Ford - other than that...
Lately on eBay I've seen the following cars made into General Lees: a 68 and 70 Charger (wrong years), a 72 Charger (wrong bodystyle), a 68 Coronet (wrong model), and even a 73 Duster (wrong... everything). And now this latest Challenger contraption (oh but the wheels are cool...)
I have but 2 words to say about this General Lee crap... ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
Rant over. That is all.... Please carry on.

Earlier today it was reported that Sacramento Kings guard Tyreke Evans would be presented an offer sheet from the New Orleans Pelicans in the range for $44-$48 million dollars for four years of service.
The sheet hasn't even been signed yet, but that hasn't stopped the Kings brass from suggesting they may match it.
Per Sam Amick:
Evans has serious interest in signing with the Pelicans, and will likely agree to sign the deal if the Kings tell him later today in their meeting in Los Angeles that they will not match. Owner Vivek Ranadive, general manager Pete D'Alessandro and coach Michael Malone are expected to take part in the meeting, and a person with knowledge of the Kings' thinking said they are considering matching the offer if he agrees to sign it. Evans is visiting with the Detroit Pistons before seeing the Kings.
Of course, it could be nothing more than the Kings brass attempting to scare the Pelicans into a sign and trade, something they may prefer anyway.
Currently, the Pelicans don't have enough room under the salary cap to sign Evans so it's likely they would either need to renounce the rights to some of their own free agents and/or make another roster move. Some have suggested that they are exploring trade options for big man Robin Lopez to make the offer.

Burkina Faso
Website of the Cooperation Office (SDC) Burkina Faso: www.cooperation-suisse.admin.ch/burkinafaso/
.. = figures not available | – = nil or amount < 5'000 CHF
Rural development and food security
Increasing rural incomes
The vast majority of Burkina Faso's population live and work on family farms. In the field of rural development, Switzerland aims to support the modernisation of family farms, focusing on:
- animal husbandry
- market gardening
- rice cultivation
- non-wood forest products
Mastering agricultural techniques adapted to their environment and enhancing the value of the products they sell enables local people to earn higher incomes and makes them more resilient in the event of food crises.
Encouraging partnerships among stakeholders
By supporting farmers' organisations, the SDC gives livestock producers, farmers and other stakeholders the means to take an active part in political dialogue.
Éducation de base et formation professionnelle
Diversifying education and training opportunities
Although there has been a marked improvement over the last decade, much work remains to be done to ensure universal access to education. Switzerland is focusing its efforts on the diversification of educational opportunities, particularly through:
- teacher training
- the production of teaching materials
- vocational education and training
- creating alternatives to the school system for people who did not have access to education
Eliminating illiteracy
The SDC is continuing its support for literacy centres and aims to ensure that all children aged 9 to 14 learn to read and write by 2021.
Decentralisation to strengthen capacities
By channelling the funding of projects through Burkina Faso's local communes, the SDC enables local political actors to strengthen their management capacity. The aim is to decentralise the administration of primary and secondary education by 2021.
State an Economic Reforms
Promoting democratic governance
Burkina Faso enjoys remarkable political stability compared with the rest of West Africa. In order to strengthen the country's political institutions, Switzerland encourages citizens' participation in political life, for example by funding social and political science think tanks, contributing to the proper conduct of elections, and encouraging transparency in the tax system and the trade in raw materials.
Strengthening public services in outlying regions
The Swiss programme focuses on strengthening local stakeholders and helps them strengthen commercial, water and road infrastructures. This enables municipalities to improve their financial, technical and practical capacity to manage resources.
More transparency for a stronger state
The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) is engaged in political dialogue with the government of Burkina Faso and provides it with budgetary support for the implementation of its poverty-reduction strategy. Swiss support – both SECO's and the SDC's – is helping to strengthen the institutional and organisational capacity of the Ministry of the Economy and Finance, to bring public finances under control, and to fight fraud, forgery and corruption.
History of cooperation
For more than 40 years in the "Land of upright people"
In the context of the famine that afflicted the Sahel region in the early 1970s, Switzerland opened a cooperation office in Burkina Faso's capital city, Ouagadougou, in 1974. Burkina Faso has been a priority country of the SDC since 1976. Since 1994, SECO has also provided supplementary budget support and other economic assistance. Switzerland also provides humanitarian aid and food assistance directly and through non-governmental organisations. Since 2007, Swiss development cooperation has focused on specific thematic areas.

Cr Humphrey ABC interview
This one happened a week ago, we've only just found the audio now (in fact, since the nudist community does not appear to have been invited to comment, we're lucky to have found it at all!). At the end of this article is a link to a snippet of audio from Cr Ron Humphrey's interview on ABC's Radio National on Sept 5 breakfast with Fran Kelly. You can read the story (Click here to read) and download the entire show (Ron's at the end of the second segment). Or you can just click the link at the end of this post to listen directly.
To summarise, Fran Kelly asked a couple of interesting questions that hinted at some underlying knowledge of the issue, but did not appear to have the time (or the willingness) to really hold Ron up to the light and check the transparency of some of his statements. In true Ron form, here's some of our observations from the interview:
- Ron admits that only Pt Impossible is the target of the council motion, and cites growth of Torquay as the justification
- Ron admits that the problems are not related specifically to nude bathing
- Ron seemed to have a problem expressing himself in the middle of the interview, stuttering over "depraved behaviour", while also failing to attribute said behaviour to nudists (or to anyone specifically for that matter!!)
- Apparently Ron has been approached by 15 of his neighbours reporting they've been accosted and approached, yet again no nudist has been accused of these activities, and yet again the police report no sexual assaults recorded (but we already knew that!)
- Talking about police reports, apparently stats aren't collected according to Ron, unless the calls go through 000. Yet Torquay police informed us that all calls are recorded (and that makes sense – how could a policing system be relied on if the local station didn't record every report they received!! We can accept the odd paperwork problem, but a local police station that doesn't record anything – come on Ron, you're stretching!!)
- Ron claims Torquay police have run "undercover operations… trying to catch these people, and it's very difficult" – given Ron's penchant for avoiding facts wherever possible, our money is on no operations ever existing!! We would have thought if this behaviour was as bad as Ron makes out, surely an undercover operation is overkill for a problem so obvious (and he admits there aren't enough police in general, so who's running these operations anyway???)
- Apparently Pt Impossible is advertised on Gay websites as a meeting place. Funnily enough, it's also advertised as a nudists meeting place, and it is advertised as a clothing optional beach around the world. Perhaps Ron is actually suggesting that the depraved behaviour is coming from the Gay community – I'm sure they'll take that accusation on the chin…
- Apparently (and this one is a show stopper!!), "the nudists are leading the push at the Mornington one (Sunnyside) to shut it down because of the behaviour down there" – wow, that's the first we've heard of that, and the Melbourne_nudists-naturists community are big users of Sunnyside beach at Mt Eliza – we certainly are not pushing for anything except better facilities!!
There's plenty more gold where that all came from. As usual, Ron is behaving true to form – not a verifiable fact to be seen anywhere, lots of specious arguments supported by emotive rhetoric, and this time around he even topped his previous best by also trying to link three different topics (the beach, the nudist community and the gay community) into one almighty argument supporting his cause.
Have a listen to the audio and make up your own mind – We would have liked Fran Kelly (Radio NAtional presenter) to hold a candle a bit closer to Ron's paper-thin commentary, particularly since (as usual) we were not given an opportunity to comment. Such is our battle – and so it continues.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park has announced that "Yuma" is the name selected for the Florida Panther kitten that will be make its home at the Wildlife Park. "Yuma" is Native-American for "Son of the Chief." Over 100 names were submitted by park staff and visitors. The four most frequently suggested names were then voted on by Park staff. The kitten's name was announced by Park Manager Kim Tennille at Saturday's Earth Day Celebration at the Park.
Back in January, the approximately seven-day old kitten was rescued by biologists with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Conservancy of Southwest Florida in the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge in Collier County. The one-pound male kitten was found in a matted down area of sawgrass and was nonresponsive with a dangerously low body temperature. Biologists determined that the kitten was in very poor condition and would not survive without intervention. The decision was made to rescue him and bring him into captivity.
The kitten was immediately transported to the Animal Specialty Hospital of Florida in Naples where veterinarians and staff performed life-saving measures to treat him for dehydration, malnourishment and raise his body temperature. Once he was stable, he was transported to Lowry Park Zoo for further rehabilitation and vaccines. While in their care he continued to improve, gaining weight and strength.
On April 3, 2014, the Florida Panther kitten was moved to Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park where he will make his home. The kitten was kept for the first few weeks in the Felburn Wildlife Care Building so he could acclimate to a new environment and the wildlife care staff. Now at approximately 13 weeks old, he weighs about 15 pounds.
The kitten can be seen, weather permitting, at a distance during the Wildlife Encounter programs. These programs are held daily at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. He will eventually be introduced into the Panther habitat.
Park Focuses on Native Plants in April
Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park will be focusing on native plants and Florida's orchids during the month of April. The Park is introducing monthly themes featuring natural and cultural resource opportunities in Florida State Parks.
A program on Florida's native plants will be presented by Jim Bierly of the Citrus County Native Plant Society in the Children's Education Center. Bierly was the founder of the Citrus County Native Plant Society and served as a Past President of the Citrus County chapter. He has had a life-long interest in natural history.
He will bring examples of native plants and will have a slide presentation on Florida's native plants. This program will be held in the Children's Education Center on Thursday, April 24, 2014, starting at 10:00 a.m. Park admission is $13 per adult; $5 for children ages 6 through 12; and free for children age 5 and under. This includes an all-day visit to the Park.
As a Florida State Park, the Park's current focus is on our native plants and animals.

Ubuntu Touch preview images coming for Nexus0
Canonical has released new images from the version of the UbuntuLinux for smartphones and tablets, Ubuntu Touch, now available for testing on Nexus devices.
Bootable Ubuntu Touch images are now available for the Nexus smartphone and tablet lines
The previews are all early releases, far away to think they can replace Android by now. These are focused on testing interface phones and as the company said, "the images are intended for developers, enthusiasts and testers who want to help. They're raring based (that is to say, they're based on the soon to be released Ubuntu 13.04 codebase). As such, the Ubuntu Touch Team is asking for folks to try out new images on their devices and ensure there are no regressions or other issues".
Specifically, there are four officially supported devices and images for each of them: Nexus 7, grouper; Galaxy Nexus, maguro; Nexus 4, mako; and Nexus 10, manta. To install them, you'll need an Ubuntu-based computer and to follow the installation instructions closely. Starting today, independent developers and fearless early adopters can judge for themselves if Ubuntu will indeed be able to succeed Android on smartphones and tablets.

How LDS Church disciplinary councils work, change lives
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — On a chilly Saturday last January, a man who once led a small LDS congregation walked into a church building in the Salt Lake Valley expecting to be excommunicated.
"It was very serious," Carl said this week. "I repeatedly sinned, in any religion's book."
Four years after he joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the early 1970s, Carl had felt intimidated when he had to convene a disciplinary council to evaluate a member of his branch in the American southwest.
Now he sat down at the end of a long table to face a disciplinary council convened for him.
The meeting began with a prayer. A lay minister called a stake president outlined Carl's circumstances to the council. Then it was Carl's turn. He described what he had done.
"About a box of Kleenex later, I finally finished," he said. "There were no scowls, no looks of judgment. I felt total concern on their part for me as an individual."
Four weeks earlier, Carl had approached his bishop, who called in the stake president. They placed him on informal church probation. He could not take the sacrament in Sunday services nor pray in church meetings.
"They also gave me a blessing," he said, growing emotional. "I never felt like I was being humiliated or being judged. They were sorry for me. We met weekly for a month."
After Carl confessed to the council, he left the room so 15 men could discuss his situation. Finally, the stake president and his two counselors retired to a separate room and knelt in prayer, seeking inspiration.
When they reached a decision, they invited Carl back to the council room.
Church discipline
LDS Church disciplinary councils happen in strict confidentiality, so they often are labeled by the few that become public. To provide an uncommon inside look at disciplinary councils, the Deseret News granted anonymity to six church members who have been the subjects of disciplinary councils and interviewed three LDS stake presidents who have sat on dozens of them as members of stake presidencies, bishoprics or stake high councils.
Together, those interviewed have been involved in an estimated 75 to 80 disciplinary councils on the branch, ward or stake level. (Branches and wards are LDS congregations. A stake is a geographic group of, typically, five to 12 wards and branches.)
Such access to the information about actual LDS disciplinary councils is extremely rare. Information about a council or its actions nearly always comes to light only through social media or news reports prompted by the person involved.
The interviews reveal a gap between the rare public reports about councils and the majority. Like the Prodigal Son, who Luke wrote "came to himself," the stake presidents and members interviewed for this story described disciplinary councils as corrective actions taken with love to help members come to themselves and return to full faith and fellowship in the church.
"My disciplinary council was one of the most loving, inspired meetings I've ever been a part of," said Mark, who had felt prompted to clear up sins that stretched back 20 years to before his marriage. "It was certainly one of the most spiritual experiences of my life."
He encouraged anyone struggling with the decision of whether to go to a bishop in a situation that might lead to a disciplinary council to do so.
"They will never regret it, ever," Mark said. "They will save their soul."

August 3, 2004Albany-- Before classes start, Dougherty County educators wear wacky hats, sing loudly, and dance to the beat.
Letting loose a little bit actually seems to bring them together. For one long-time teacher, it's a bond she can't shake off.
Funny hair, birthday hats, and even motorcycles served as props to show a little school spirit, "We are number one!!!!" cheers some teachers.
Each Dougherty County school proved they were number one in the annual spirit contest-- a contest long-time art teacher Carolyn Mingo can't seem to get enough of, "I retired in 2001, thought I was ready to retire."
It's not the roar of the crowd that brought this teacher out of retirement, "I love the children, that is why I went back, I really love them."
Carolyn also loves being back with the other teachers, "I have a bad knee and climbing the steps was very difficult for me," and although she wasn't able to cheer with her coworkers at Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary, she is being cheered on.
Principal Carolyn Scott says, "I guess retirement is not what they thought it would be so we are certainly happy to have them back. That experience is an asset to Martin Luther King and schools throughout the county."
These Dougherty county educators are not shy about showing their spirit. For Carolyn Mingo, it's a spirit she can't retire, "I have a new grandbaby so I may eventually do that but for right now I enjoy what I am doing."
And she obviously isn't the only one enjoying her job. Dougherty County public school students go back to school Friday.

I was excited to use this bag until the first night using it. The temperature dropped below 20 degrees F and this bag did not perform well. Due to the negative space inside, I had to stuff all my clothing so that it would insulate. The zipper kept getting stuck near the hood which made a it frustrating to emerge, and the zipper did make a small tear in the fabric from snagging once. I was hoping for the same quality of bag as the Cat's Meow, but I am rather disappointed. This bag would be good for a person with a wider frame who would fill in the negative space that seems abundant in this bag.Pros: Great value, Cons: Wears quickly, Low performance, Poor quality, bad zipper

This sleep bag is kind of short and narrow than the description, but it still can keep you warm in the tent at around 10 Celsius degree.Pros: Ease of use, Great value

Atlantans who hoped to visit the High Museum of Art for free as part of Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day on Saturday … not so fast.
The High pulled itself off of the Museum Day Web site after 2,000 tickets (good for two people each) were printed.
"We had to limit the downloads to manage possible overcapacity issues," High spokeswoman Cassandra Streich said. "Last year we had no limits, and more tickets were downloaded than we could accommodate in one day."
A full list of other participating metro museums can be found at www.smithsonianmag.com/museumday/venues. HOWARD POUSNER

Cheap Auto Insurance in Maryland
Cheap Auto Insurance in Maryland(MD): Why You Need It
Every car owner in Maryland must have auto insurance because it has interstate highways that stretch more than 100 miles. Many areas in this state consist of roads and highways therefore it is imperative that car owners have at the very least cheap auto insurance in Maryland. Car insurance coverage will protect them from any eventualities resulting from an unforeseen car accident.
Why You Need Cheap Auto Insurance in Maryland(MD)
There are nearly 6 million people in this rather small state, and with only about 12,000 square miles of land, Maryland is the 5th most densely populated state in the country. Considering that most of these lands are dotted with streets, roads and highways, every driver needs to have at least basic car insurance coverage.
The combination of dense population and the presence of streets and highways everywhere can be costly to drivers who are not covered by auto insurance in Maryland. As it is, the average auto insurance premium in Maryland is over $1,900. This is more than the national average by about $500.
Maryland is implementing the Tort system with regards to settling claims resulting in car accidents. There must be somebody who will answer for all the damages that result. Therefore, if you are found to be at fault, you will pay for the damages to the other car and the medical bills of the other fellow if he got hurt in the process.
You need to protect yourself with at least the basic Maryland auto insurance coverage. In Maryland, it is required for you to carry a minimum of $30,000 insurance coverage for every person and with a total of $60,000 per accident. This is just for bodily injury. But insurance experts say that this is not enough because if the actual expenses exceed these amounts, you have to pay that balance by yourself.
Maryland also requires every driver to carry a minimum of $15,000 to cover property damages in auto accidents. This will take care of your expenses if you car is damaged as a result of an accident. Like the basic liability insurance, it is not advisable to just have this small coverage – especially if you drive an expensive car. It is better to have more coverage so that you won't need to spend your own money for your car repairs.
If you can afford it, get a comprehensive auto insurance in Maryland as well as anti-theft auto insurance. The extra premium rates you will pay for these protections will be worth it because no matter what happens to your car, you are fully covered and you will not be forced to shell out money out of pocket which you probably have not prepared for.
How You Can Get Cheap Auto Insurance in Maryland(MD)
There many ways to get affordable cheap Maryland auto insurance premiums. Here are some suggestions:
• Practice safe driving for three years. By doing so, the car insurance companies you will approach will be more than willing to give you premium discounts.
• It is wise to keep auto insurance policy from the same car insurance company you as have insured your house. The auto insurance company will be amenable to give you a discount if you will give them additional business for auto insurance in Maryland.
• Show them that your driving mileage is less than the average driver's mileage in Maryland. That is enough reason for the auto insurance company to give you a discount in Maryland State.
• Compare multiple car insurace quotes from online. You can easily get multiple instant car insurance quotes which help you to select the cheapest auto insurance in Maryland most fit your requirement.

This week we are talking stories. The stories we tell ourselves without even realizing it that effect the way we see the world and color our interactions.
Playground Powow
Good morning All,
We encourage the kids to bring in ideas of games and activities that they will enjoy sharing with their group friends. We pride ourselves on incorporating those ideas and helping the kids to feel ownership of the curriculum. But the suggestion we get most often is the one we will never take. Why?
The most requested activity across all of the age groups is to use the playscape. I always say no, because by intentionally excluding that wonderful resource from our toolbox, something wonderful happens. Your children make playdates, with friends, on their own.
We have made a conscious decision to draw a metaphorical line across which the playground is outside of Kids Cooperate, which opens the opportunity for kids to easily and conveniently bridge their social interactions from Kids Cooperate to the outside world. One of the biggest challenges we face is helping the kids to take what they have learned during the highly scaffolded social interaction in groups and apply it to other contexts. When your child asks, "can I go to the playground with _____" that is exactly what they are doing.
I encourage you to build in a little extra time into your schedule when the weather is nice after your child gets out of group so that when they ask to play on the playground with a friend you can say yes. Take a minute to appreciate what an important mark of progress this represents!
thank you!
How to not be a Jerk
Beating Boredom
I read an article this weekend that suggested that repeated frustration, rather than exposure to violent images could be responsible for the violent behavior associated with video game playing. What is interesting about this is that it points to the importance of resiliency, and developing strong emotional self regulation techniques throughout all areas of life. Here is a link to the article: http://goo.gl/KVUWSR
For example, in sports, players may lose a game as a result of a bad call. "When people feel they have no control over the outcome of a game that leads to aggression" he said.P
"We saw that in our experiments. If you press someone's competencies, they'll become more aggressive, and our effects held up whether the games were violent or not."
In order to foster resiliency and emotional intelligence we learn many different techniques, which are all the same at the core. Increase awareness of your emotional landscape, find a cognitive heuristic that helps you to slow down and take a breath before reacting, practice practice practice.
Here is an example of the S.T.O.P technique (from http://zenpsychiatry.com/stop/):
(S)top when you realize you're about to get hijacked by your reaction, (T)ake a breath, (O)bserve what is going on in your body and not just your head and finally (P)roceed once you've done all this.
The Duchenne Smile
This week we discussed "Mind Hacks", the idea that we can make our lives happier, smarter, and awesome-er by understanding a little about neuroscience. The middle schoolers learned how to consistently win the game of Rock Paper Scissors by understanding the psychology behind the patterns people throw. We learned another mind hack, how facial expression sends powerful signals to the brain. A frown uses a muscle called the corrugator, which some studies show activates the amygdala, the portion of the brain responsible for coping with stress and danger. When scientists temporarily paralyzed the frowning muscle using botox injections, depressed people recovered faster. Conversely, a genuine smile which crinkles the eyes as well as mouth called the "Duchenne Smile" after the neurologist who studied it can increase feelings of joy, affect the immune system, and improve performance on cognitive tasks. An interesting fact is that the brain can spot a fake smile using only the mouth (the Pan Am smile) and it does not have the same positive effects.
Keep Smiling!
The "Aaron-Tiger-Consumption-Test for Well-Being"
This is one of my favorite weeks in our curriculum cycle in which I have pushed the theoretical discussion to the limit and we tie all of our deep discussion back in to the body, and the cognitive-somatic connection. One of the ideas we have approached from different angles is the recognition that strong emotion, including happiness, anxiety, and anger are not external, but instead come from the way we filter experience though our genetic inheritance, prior experiences, and current beliefs.
This is so empowering because it means that by becoming aware of our thought patterns and emotional triggers and developing relaxation techniques, we can increase our happiness and decrease negative emotion. One of the ways I illustrate this is with the "Aaron-Tiger-Consumption-Test for Well-Being". It's very simple. When you are feeling strong anxiety, fear, sadness, etc. you ask yourself, "Am I being eaten by a tiger, right now?". If the answer is yes, it's alright to freak out. If the answer is no, the chances are better than not that your fear/anxiety is in reaction to concerns about the future, or the past, but not the present moment. You are okay, and safe, in the present moment. This doesn't solve any problems other than the immediate sense of panic, but it does create space for calm, clear eyed problem solving.
Environmental Challenge
This week, in response to some interest that has come up in groups, and in recognition of the spring weather I am introducing the Environmental Challenge. This follows the Happiness Challenge (self) and the Communication Challenge (relationships) with a challenge that brings focus to community and intergenerational responsibility/connection. We will be discussing it in group, but here are the items:
1. Walk or bike when you could ride: Reducing greenhouse gases, burning calories, and possibly meeting neighbors.
2. Pick up some litter: Yours is always a good place to start. If you haven't littered, help the world around you by picking up a piece of someone elses (even though this may not seem fair).
3. Recycle: Here is a page on recycling in CT. http://www.ct.gov/DEEP/cwp/view.asp?a=2714&q=324880&deepNav_GID=1645#What
4. Compost: If you already compost you know that it is rewarding, easy, and reduces your trash. If you haven't started yet, here's how: http://www.organicgardening.com/learn-and-grow/how-build-compost-pile
5. Reduce: Turn off the lights when you leave the room, take a shorter hot shower, etc.
This all comes back to thinking about community and our responsibility and place in it.
This week in groups we were discussing the important contextual information that can be gathered by listening to voice inflection. One of the high schoolers shared this great example. Try saying the sentence above, emphasizing a different word each time. Notice how inflection can completely change the meaning!
Mind Reading
Tonight in groups we began discussing how to read and understand the thoughts and emotions of others. After I wowed the group with the mind reading trick detailed in the attached video, we talked about 3 real mind reading tricks.
1. Be aware of body language.
2. Pay attention to information that can be gathered by tone of voice.
3. Listen closely to a person's words, and ask clarifying questions.
Of all of these, #3 is the most powerful and most often neglected. We sometimes need to be reminded that it is okay to ask people how they are feeling, and they will usually appreciate the opportunity to express emotion. No magic necessary!
Black Box
This week we will be wrapping up our curriculum arc on self care/happiness, and moving on to a unit of lessons and activities that look at how to understand other's thoughts and emotions. We use the metaphor of the black flight recording box on an airplane because it contains all of the information about the plane but reveals no information on the surface.
Since we can't see inside the black box, we will be learning tricks and tools for fathering the information we need to understand what other people are thinking and why. I will be writing more about this over the next couple of weeks, so be sure to follow along on the blog or on facebook (links below).
Here are some articles that I have previously written on theory of mind:
Also, I am gathering names of parents interested in their child attending a supported summer camp that we are doing in partnership with Holiday Hill in Mansfield the first two weeks of August. More information to follow soon.
A Therapy Dog for Teo

https://www.booster.com/atherapydogforteo (people can buy a tote bag here with a logo and some of the money goes to the fund)
Secret Agent
This week in group we are exploring the benefits of feeling and expressing gratitude, and played "secret agent of gratitude". At the beginning of group each child received their secret assignment, the name of one of the other children. Throughout the group they had to secretly observe and note down the things about the other child that they were grateful for. At the end of group we revealed our undercover assignments and shared our gratitude. Big smiles all around!
The Wisdom of Kurt
To Be Liked
Continuing on our curriculum of self-care for happiness, this week we will be focusing on one item in particular from the happiness challenge, gratitude.
Making a new habit of taking a shared or private moment to recognize and name the things we are grateful for will have a ripple effect of happiness throughout your life and your child's life. Here are some of the ways to use that moment.
1. Reframe: take a second look at the challenges in your day and find the silver lining, even if it was only being presented with the chance to learn and grow.
2. Be Thankful: people do things for us all day long. From the barrista who brought you your morning drink to the people who give you unconditional love and support throughout your life, there is always an army of people who deserve our thanks but never ask for it.
3. Positive Focus: The human mind has a powerful bias toward seeing what it's looking for. This is called the Reticular Activating System. Use this to your advantage by focusing on the positive in your life in order to highlight the hidden pockets of happiness that have gone unnoticed.
Here is a reminder of the 10 items on the happiness challenge.
1. Smile
2. Write down three positive things that happened today
3. Get 7-8 hours of sleep tonight
4. Do a good deed for someone
5. Spend time with family or friends
6. Write down something you're grateful for
7. Eat healthy foods: skip processed foods and sweets today
8. Exercise: walk, go to the gym, dance. Just move!
9. Spend 10 minutes outside to get vitamin D
10. Make time for a hobby or activity you love
Two Truths and a Lie
The other night in group we played "Two truths and a lie" as an ice breaker. The point of this game is to share some facts about yourself so amazing that they sound like a fib. It is also an opportunity to watch body language for "tells" to reveal which fact might be untruthful.
One of my amazing true facts is that I was once on Candid Camera. More amazing to me was that none of the kids had ever heard of the show. Finally one of them said, "oh, that's an old person show from the nineteen hundreds". Good grief!
Name That Emotion
This week in groups we will be discussing emotion. What it is, how it works in the body and how and when to control it (and when not to). This stems from an interesting discussion we had in the high school group around an article we explored describing a study about emotional responses in the brain. When people look at a picture of an angry face, it activates the amygdala, the portion of the brain responsible for the "fight or flight" reaction. BUT. When the researchers attached a word to the image "fear" "anger", it instead activated the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, the portion of the brain that processes emotions. By adding words, a story, to the picture, it made it possible to process rather than react.
This points to another important concept which is secondary emotional reaction. This refers to the emotional response we have about our initial emotional response. Often we label a fearful reaction to a situation as negative, and beat ourselves up about it, beginning a cascade of negative feedback and self criticism. the way this comes together is that by recognizing, naming, and accepting our initial response to a situation it improves our chances to interrupt a downward spiral of self doubt and criticism.
The Happiness Challenge
Continuing our February Challenges (see the Better Communication Challenge from a few weeks ago), this week is the Happiness Challenge! Try out a few of the items below. We will be discussing them formally in groups.
1. Smile
2. Write down three positive things that happened today
3. Get 7-8 hours of sleep tonight
4. Do a good deed for someone
5. Spend time with family or friends
6. Write down something you're grateful for
7. Eat healthy foods: skip processed foods and sweets today

Where to Meet Single Women
Let's face it, as we get older and get out of school, the amount of available ways to meet women begins to decline.
Sure, we can meet some women at work, but most of the times these women aren't single. Plus, we all not its not smart to mess around with a co-worker.
So where do you go to meet single women?
I've discovered a few places that making it easy to meet and date new women.
Best Places to Meet Women
Ok. Before I get into where to meet women, let's first talk about what makes a location a good spot to meet women.
There are several things you want to look for that will make it more likely that you are going to come across the type of woman you're interested in.
1. It should be recurring.
This means that the best places to meet women are places where you will see the same women over and over. It is very difficult to create a real sense of connection the first time you meet someone.
This is why bars and clubs are NOT good places to meet women. Once you leave that environment you tend to mentally and emotionally forget the person you were chatting with.
You have a much better shot at turning an encounter into a date the second or third time you're talking.
Also, there is a certain law that we find people more attractive the more times we are exposed to them. This allows you to seduce women who are slowly becoming attracted to you simply from being around you so often.
2. It should be an environment you excel at
When I see an older guy lurking around a college bar you have to feel sorry for the guy. He is usually not having any fun, the girls are not paying him any attention, and he will more than likely go home without meeting a woman.
This is because this environment is not right for him. You have to choose a place where you shine.
Women like to see a man who appears as the leader or alpha male of the group. They want a guy that displays confidence and passion.
For this reason its best to meet women in places where you can be the star.
For instance, if you're a natural leader, then places where you can take on the role of leader are great ie) charity causes
Or if you're a great athlete than you might want to consider meeting women at adult social sports like tennis, golf, or softball leagues.
Where to Meet Women
Okay with that being said let's talk about some of my personal favorite places to meet single women.
1. Salsa Class
Salsa class is a fun, social environment where you'll find lots of single women looking to meet new people.
If a woman shows up there without a boyfriend or husband it is a sure sign that she is looking to meet someone.
2. Meetup.com
This is a great site that you can use to find groups of meeting in your area meeting up to discuss passions.
You'll find just about any interest you have there, and a group of people meeting up over it.
So if you're into art, or music, or skiing, or cooking, you can quickly find a place where other enthusiasts are gathered. These are women you already share mutual interest with.
3. Adult Social Sports
These sort of leagues are gaining in popularity and more and more men and women are looking for things to do with there free time.
There are leagues for:
- Volleyball
- Tennis
- Softball
- Golf
- Dodgeball
- Mountain Climbing
- Biking
- And much more
What's great is that these sports will also help keep you in shape. Which will increase your odds of attracting a woman.
Other Places to Meet Women
If you still wondering where to meet women, and can't commit to a weekly or monthly lesson, then there are some other ideas that will give you a better chance of success than bars or clubs.
I would check your area for professional networking events, industry gatherings, single cruises, speed dating, or single's events.
What's great about the above mentioned locations are that they are very easy places to meet women since women are going to these events with the sole purpose of talking to new people.
So those are some of my favorite places to meet women.

(01/31/13) - Thursday, the U.S. Senate passed a "no budget, no pay" bill. It now heads to the President for his signature.
The bill temporarily extends the country's debt-ceiling deadline until May. It also says if the Senate doesn't pass a budget, no lawmakers should get paid.
ABC12's Washington Correspondent Ted Fioraliso sat down with Senator Carl Levin before the vote to get his take on the bill.
When the House passed the "no budget, no pay" bill last week, the vote came down mostly along party lines with Democrats like Dan Kildee voting no - calling it a "political gimmick." But Democratic Senator Carl Levin has a different take.
"I don't mind the connection to the budget. I just don't like these short-term extensions. I think it creates uncertainty about whether the United States is credit-worthy or not," he said.
If the debt-limit isn't extended, the U.S. could default on its loans and receive another downgrade in its credit rating. Levin says there's no justification for that, and thinks the Senate will pass the bill. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has indicated that will happen. Still, Levin is uncertain about his vote.
"I don't like the short-term nature of it, so if they don't need my vote to pass it, I might vote against it just on that principle. But if I need to vote because there's no alternative but to pay our bills, then I would vote for it," he said.
Then there's that other fiscal deadline coming up in March - sequestration - when mandatory cuts to federal programs go into effect. Levin says there can be a long-term solution, but it has to be bipartisan.
"It has to be comprehensive, it has to include revenues and reductions in spending - both discretionary and entitlement. But it can't just be cuts in spending, which is what the Republicans want," he said.
Levin says he's focusing on closing corporate tax loopholes, which he says would help raise revenue.
