Virtual Lobby Days 2014 was a Success!
From June 16-27, our Virtual Lobby Days event was in full swing. During these two weeks, stroke survivors, their family members, caregivers, and healthcare professionals contacted members of Congress to take action on a range of issues that impact the stroke community. You joined us in urging legislators to:
The event was enormously successful, with 1,000 advocates sending over 4,000 messages to their members of Congress. As Congress continues to work until the August recess, we know stroke-related issues and legislation will remain a priority. We thank everyone who participated in the Virtual Lobby Days event, and we urge you to stay involved in advocating on stroke-related issues for the remainder of 2014 and beyond.
The Ultimate Advocacy: Legislator Meetings
Have you sent messages or called your congress-people or state legislators about stroke-related issues? Take the next step and meet with them in person—it's easy! A meeting allows you to talk about your stroke story and ask your legislators to support stroke-related issues. We've provided you with all the tools you need to set those meetings, develop your story and know what stroke-related issues to talk about. Now it's your turn to take another step in your advocacy journey for stroke. Get started today!
States Are Still Talking About Stroke
While many state legislatures have finished their work for the year, a handful of them are still in session. This means many of you still have time to make a difference for stroke! Legislators in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania are currently debating multiple issues that impact the stroke community.
Some of these issues are similar across many states (and the District of Columbia). We've given you information on these issues below. There are also other stroke-related issues being debated in each state. Click your state below to find out what legislators are doing for the stroke community and how you can help!
California | District of Columbia | Illinois | Massachusetts | Michigan | New Jersey | New York | Ohio | Pennsylvania
Some State Sessions Are Done: What Happened?
So far in 2014, we've tracked and kept you informed on 111 stroke-related bills being considered by state legislatures. You've taken action on these bills by contacting your legislators and letting them know how these issues impact you and the stroke community. These actions made a difference, and so far 21 of these pieces of legislation have been signed into law. Thanks to our many Stroke Advocacy Network members who took action and made a difference for stroke in their state this year!
The 21 stroke-related bills that will become new laws this year fit into four categories:
Telemedicine services—Telemedicine services allow healthcare professionals with training in stroke to treat patients in off-site locations, bringing specialized stroke care to areas that don't currently benefit from those services today. A total of 12 new telemedicine laws have been enacted in nine states so far in 2014.
Stroke systems of care—Stroke systems of care bills include many elements designed to decrease the amount of time it takes to diagnose a stroke patient and transport that patient to an appropriate healthcare facility for treatment. A total of three systems of care bills have been enacted into law in three states so far in 2014.
Prescription synchronization—Prescription synchronization bills let patients with chronic conditions, such as stroke, synchronize their medications with no additional cost-sharing. These bills reduce one of the challenges faced by stroke survivors and their caregivers—having to make multiple trips to the pharmacy to refill prescriptions. A total of three prescription synchronization bills have passed in three different states so far in 2014.
National Stroke Awareness Month—Stroke awareness month resolutions encourage people to help raise awareness about stroke in May, which has been designated as National Stroke Awareness Month. These resolutions urge people to familiarize themselves with the risk factors, warning signs and symptoms of stroke, and call 9-1-1 when stroke occurs. Three of these resolutions have been passed by the state legislatures in three states so far in 2014.
While most state legislatures have adjourned for the year, eight states and the District of Columbia are still in session. These states include California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. There are still over 50 bills pending in these states that still have a chance to become law! This means if you live in one of these states, you still have a chance to make a difference! Find out what your legislators are talking about and how you can help advocate for stroke in 2014!
Better Advocacy: We Show You How
Are you frustrated with limited access to medical services? Finding it difficult to return-to-work after a stroke? Exasperated with the financial burdens of surviving stroke? If so, you've probably made your views known to your friends and family. But have you told those who can really make a difference?
Every day legislators in Congress and in statehouses across the country make decisions that directly and dramatically impact the health, finances, and day-to-day lives of stroke survivors. Insurance companies decide on what to cover based on state policies. Doctors decide on appropriate treatments based on state policies and federal research. Employers decide on how or whether to make accommodations for survivors based on federal regulations. Unless we speak up—loudly, frequently, and effectively—these decisions will be made without the stroke community's needs in mind.
The good news is that National Stroke Association provides you with the tools you need to get your message across. Here are three things you can do to be heard in the policy-making process and make a difference for stroke survivors.
Develop Your Story
You play a critical role in the policy debate, which is to connect the very strange things that happen in D.C. and state capitals back to real people. For example, the $5,500 per year family caregivers spend in out-of-pocket expenses and lost wages is just a number. Tying that number to your friend, your family member, your spouse makes it real, and that reality inspires legislative action. Think about the "who, wha,t and why" of your policy ask. Who was or will be harmed or helped by the policy (or not implementing the policy)? What has been or will be the impact on your recovery? Why do you and/or your family need this?
Know What's Going On—The Stroke Advocacy Network website is a good place to start learning about current policy initiatives at the federal and state level that will impact stroke survivors. Visit our federal and state webpages regularly to keep up with what your members of Congress and state legislators are (or are not) doing about stroke.
Know Something About Your Legislators—Everyone in the U.S. (with limited exceptions) has two senators and one representative in Congress and a state senator and state representative. Every single one of these legislators has their own point of view. Learn how to craft your messages in a way that makes sense to them (your audience) by undertanding what makes them tick.
To learn about them you can visit their websites and read their issue pages. This will give you a sense of the kind of language your legislators use to get their points across. For example, if your legislator expresses fiscal concerns, you can focus your message on Medicare therapy caps on long term cost savings.
Look up bills they've introduced at www.congress.gov. If they've sponsored legislation on an issue, they really care about it. Their policy interests may, in many cases, be completely unrelated to stroke. Your job is to find out how to connect your interests back to theirs. For example, if they've introduced legislation to promote small business, talk about enabling stroke survivors to return-to-work. If they've introduced legislation to support veterans, talk about stroke from that perspective. You can't force them to be interested in your concerns. You can, however, tie your concerns to the policy matters they work on every day.
Follow them on Facebook and Twitter—Social media is a great way to keep track of legislators' interests as well as to find out when you can connect with them when they're back home. Like them, share their posts, retweet them, comment on their posts, etc. Any of these actions will garner you attention in the legislator's office. Just keep it positive. Rants and raves may make you feel better, but they don't get the job done.
Perhaps the most important item on your advocacy "to do" list is to persist. Every stroke survivor knows something about persistence. Even as you move forward with your recovery there will always be setbacks. The same is true of the policymaking process. And, as with your recovery, the only way to truly make a difference in the long run is to keep fighting the good fight. The Stroke Advocacy Network is your partner in this fight against stroke and for stroke survivors, caregivers, and other members of the stroke community!

Forbes: Vikings Are World's 34th Most Valuable Team
Forbes Magazine has named the Minnesota Vikings one of "The World's 50 Most Valuable Sports Teams" of 2014. The Vikings, valued at about $1 billion, are ranked number 34 on the list. Forbes cites the team's new $975 million stadium, which is set to open in 2016, as a factor that boosts their value.

This year it's San Francisco who fits this description and unlike last year, the Niners have everything in place to get past the rest of the NFC.
Minnesota Vikings Disappoint In 2013
The Minnesota Vikings had higher expectations than the 5-10-1 record the team finished with in the 2013 season.

The Rule of 50
- How many people do I need in my network?
- How often do I need to reach out to my network?
- Does it matter what I say when I contact my network?
This cast explains a simple way to stay in touch with your professional network.
After the dust settles and the air clears, the one regret that SO many professionals have is not their out of date resume, though there is that. It's not the unprinted contact list still on company computers, though there is that. It's not the one month (versus SIX) of cash on hand. It always ends up being the regret that managers and professionals have failed to stay in touch with their friends and associates - even those who are always glad to hear from them. And now, when they need them, they have no significant network to call on for job transition help.
This cast is about helping you avoid THAT pain.

Rule of 50 success
I gave it a try and took an hour one day to compile my list of 50 and set up task reminders in Outlook. This week, my first week, I contacted a former employee whom I hadn't spoken to in a year or so. She was really happy to be contacted and thought she might have a need coming up for my company's services. A very positive beginning to the exercise. And I was so encouraged that I contacted a few more people I happened to think about this week, so I could be on my way to 150! Thanks, guys.
Additional Tip
This is a great way to start your network outreach - it also works well for those of us who have to maintain a network of liaisons as part of our jobs.
I've implemented this but there is one additional thing I do when sending emails: BCC my emails and forward their responses to my personal Gmail account (as long as there is no sensitive information in the email, which there shouldn't be any way for this type of contact). Many of my contacts only know to contact me at my work email but if I lose my job and, as a result, access to that email account, I lose any record of our discussions. Besides, Gmail searches work so much better than Outlook searches.

Dudes, You Rule
I'm relatively new to Manager and Career Tools. I found your Pod Casts by accident and immediately became addicted. I was recently fired, for in my opinion not being enough of a "yes man" even though I preformed exemplary, I suppose to quote my ex-boss, "you are too corporate for the company climate". Yes, there are a million tales in the naked city. Anyway, life goes on.
I have to thank you for the hundreds of hours you've put into your casts. I actually feel that your advice and guidence has been the crutch that keeps me going. Great work and very, very much appreciated.
I am one of the minons that did not keep my contact list updated... no one here to blame but me. All the excuses and "reasons" you've listed for being neglectful describe me to a tee. Still, I have sucked it up and now have at leat 50 contacts I've reached out to. After the first dozen or so, the resistance wears off and the benefits come in. I know I've burned a few bridges, but I am amazed at the contacts that I have that ae more than willing to "charge to the sound of the guns", if you'll excuse my Custer.
Thank you again! I'm a great fan and will continue to tune in for your invaluable advice.
Good luck to prior poster (Kerry)
Just wanted to say good luck to you, Kerry. I know that as a programmer, those with backbones who are still pleasant to be around are more likely to find jobs. I hope that describes you. "Too corporate for the company climate" seems like a phrase associated with a different idea but you know better than me what was intended.
I hope you will post the good news when it comes, and it will come!

A man with Indiana ties has plans to take off in a plane on one day and not touch down again for 65 days in an attempt to beat a record that's stood for more than half a century.
"I have actually never had a desire to beat a world record," Matt Pipkin said.
But if Pipkin has his way come this September, he and his dad are going to take to the skies for not one day, not two days, but an attempt to stay aloft for about 65 straight days.
The record for "endurance flying" right now stands at 64 days, 22 hours, 19 minutes, and 5 seconds set all the way back in in 1958 by two men, Robert Timm and John Cook in their Cessna 172.
Pipkin, a graduate of Purdue University, said there's a reason he is on board with trying to break the record. He said he's using the interest in the event to speak out about sexual abuse and empowering those who've been abused to speak out.
"Everyone knows abuse happens but that doesn't really do anything. This is for people who have been through it to say maybe I can tell someone just to get it off your chest," he said.
Pipkin and his dad, a professional pilot and former military fighter pilot, will do some things the same as they did back in the day. They'll manually hoist up food and supplies to the plane. They said they hope to be able to refuel in the air, something not possible when the record was last set.
But what about trash and waste?
"It's a question everyone asks. We are going to take out all the seats except the pilots seat for some living space and we will have a divided curtain with of course a portable john," Pipkin said.
"We will have some kind of plastic bag they have plastic bags now if you get them from Cabellas," he said. "We don't know if we will just drop them, because it isn't illegal to drop them. So we are not sure if we will just drop them or lower them down in a used supply box."

Found February 13, 2013 on Minus Twenty-Two:
PLAYERS: Andrew Bogut, James Harden, Omer Asik, David Lee
TEAMS: Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets
TEAMS: Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets
So, the Warriors have now lost a season-high five games in a row after another clunker Tuesday night. But while Tuesday's game against the Rockets was in far greater reach than last Tuesday's debacle in Houston, the theme remained unchanged—the Warriors could not find a way to stop James Harden and friends when they needed to the most. Zero consistency on the defensive end. The Dubs would make a run to get in reach, only to let Houston gain it all back, until the Warriors basically bent over in the final five minutes. A truly disjointed effort from a Warriors team in turmoil right now. But this isn't just going to be written off as a standalone phenomenon. In each of the five games the Warriors have dropped, their defense has been utterly putrid, pregnable, horrendous, ugly, useless, (enter your favorite negative adjective here). Yes, in something the Warriors know a thing or two about, it's been indefensible, if I may use some wordplay. All of this is pretty remarkable because for...

A bland effort, the HP Envy 23 has nothing to recommend it over other Windows 8 touch-screen all-in-ones.
The Apple 23-inch Cinema Display is low on extras and high on price. Still, one look at this gorgeous LCD, and you'll kiss your practicality good-bye.
The Dell S2330MX is a well-designed general purpose monitor with a pleasing aesthetic at a great price.
Dell's workmanlike Inspiron One 2330 won't change your life, but it will meet all of your basic mainstream desktop needs while also providing a few useful extras.
It's sporty, it's long-lasting, and it plays MP3s! Sony takes a huge step forward with its NW-S23.
The Audio-Technica ATH-ANC3 QuietPoint earphones offer great noise reduction and an ultraportable design with travel-friendly extras--just don't expect to get them for cheap.

A good fit for law or accounting firms, the C762n has the speed, the print quality, and the features to support a whole office.
The Pioneer SP-SB23W is the best affordable sound bar if you care about sound quality, with its outstanding sonics making up for some of its design limitations.
Sony promises some cutting edge media features on its new Vaio L-Series, but it's tough to recommend when not all of them deliver.

From Susan Cain's June 26 New York Times opinion piece, "Shyness: Evolutionary Tactic?"
Is shyness/introversion a sign of lesser psychological health? If the answer to that question is "not necessarily," as most would probably argue, then at what point does an introverted personality become a mental illness, or at least a diagnosable "disorder" such as S.A.D.? And how does introversion impact questions of happiness? Do our definitions of happiness discount shy attitudes and behaviors; do we define as "sad" people who merely are introverted? Lots of questions for us to chew on as we embark in 2011–12 on our year-long examination of Health, Wellness, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Finally, Susan Cain also reminds us in this piece that diversity—which is celebrated by just about any definition of global citizenship—is a concept with psychological dimensions as well as cultural and socio-economic.
… Health, Wellness, and the Pursuit of Happiness! From a list of seven nominated choices, this was chosen by an online vote of Santa Monica College students, faculty, and staff to be our annual Global Citizenship theme for 2011–12.
As with our first two annual themes, Water and Food, we'll explore the overlapping issues of health, wellness, and happiness through a variety of curricular and extracurricular activities. In addition to our already existing online presence at Twitter, Facebook, and the SMC website, this new Tumblr site gives us a virtual space in which to share and discuss ideas.
To get us started thinking about the academic year ahead as we ease into the summer break, here is how we have initially set up our theme:
Health is a centerpiece of the United Nations' efforts to promote human development, and modern society has made profound strides in fighting infectious disease and raising life expectancies around the world. Yet we still find the provision of care and the promotion of healthy living to be a perennial challenge, one that knows no boundaries but nonetheless reveals gaping inequities within and between countries worldwide. Moreover, even when physically healthy, we struggle to feel truly well; despite living (on average) longer and more comfortable lives than countless generations of human beings before us, a true sense of happiness and well-being often eludes us. What does it mean to be healthy? What does it mean to be happy? And how can we get there?
In addition to this prompt, here is just a small sample of the rapidly growing collection of articles and resources online concerning the question of happiness and well-being. Follow us on Tumblr as we will be adding to this list throughout the year ahead.

Preliminary Report: Power loss downs two JetRangers
Bell 206B JetRanger, Longview, Wash., Oct. 10, 2008–The Northwest Helicopters JetRanger lost power while hauling tree limbs. The pilot attempted a power-out forced landing at the bottom of a steep ravine covered with 30-foot conifer trees. The pilot was seriously injured and the helicopter was substantially damaged.
Bell 206 JetRanger, Conroe, Texas, Oct. 13, 2008–The KTRK-TV JetRanger lost power and crashed into trees near Conroe. The helicopter, operated by a Houston TV station, was en route to cover a "breaking news story" in Conroe, in visual conditions with no flight plan filed. The commercial pilot and news photographer were killed.
A witness saw the helicopter flying low and banking steeply to the right before descending nose-down. Investigators found one tail rotor blade straight and the other blade bent 90 degrees. One main rotor blade was still attached to the hub; only the trailing edge and mid-chord showed damage. The stub of the other main rotor blade remained attached to the hub, but the remainder was destroyed in the resulting fire. The metal leading edge of the rotor blade was found nearby and showed no impact damage. Pitch and collective control rods were attached to their linkages, which were attached to their respective servos. A nut on a line in the engine was only finger-tight.

4:05 am Oct 25 - by Scott Bowdich
Destihl, a relatively new brewpub located on Neil Street in downtown Champaign, is a singular dining experience. Much like The Blind Pig, Destihl is a brewery; however, uniquely,
Destihl serves only beers brewed on-site, and after sampling a few, all on offer seem to be of the highest quality. The owners and managers of Destihl also pride themselves on cooking using
local ingredients whenever possible. Their fried cheese curd appetizer, for instance, is sourced from a local dairy farm which uses Destihl's leftover brewing ingredients for cattle feed.
Based on a sample of one meal, the food at Destihl is excellent. The waitstaff was extremely helpful and friendly, and everything arrived at the table promptly, from drinks to dessert. Even the desserts reflect Destihl's "gastrobrewpub" branding – one dessert in particular is based on a chocolate ice cream flavored with the pub's own house-brewed stout.
Anyone can see Destihl's commitment to brewing as soon as they walk through the door. Brian Durking, manager, gladly showed me an enclosed room containing a massive boiler and several large fermenters Destihl uses to create its unique brews. Preparing a beer for fermenting, Durking said, only takes a day. The ingredients are boiled into a wort (pronounced "wert"), strained, and have yeast added. The wort must then ferment for one to four weeks in one of the room's steel fermenters before it can be prepared for serving; depending on the type of beer being brewed, the fermenters must often be temperature-controlled. Though the process sounds intimidating, it can be done at a small scale by any hobbyist at a low level of effort and cost.
Having only opened in April, the restaurant is already quite busy. While 11 beers are already on tap and more are fermenting all the time, the bar is also capable of serving up to 19 different beers on draft. 25 percent of the restaurant's sales is already from beer. "Champaign's a pretty big beer town," Durkin said. Destihl's other location, in Normal, Ilinois, does only a fraction of the sales of the Champaign branch.
Destihl is, at its root, a homebrewing and small business success story. The CEO, Matt Potts, started his professional life as a lawyer, and discovered a passion for homebrewing in his free time. In the early 90s, he began to capitalize his passion by opening his first pub in Elmwood, Illinois. He drafted the help of a friend, Fred Morrisette, to help create new brews. While Fred began by volunteering his time, he now splits his full-time brewmaster position between Destihl's Champaign and Normal locations, and business shows no sign of slowing down.
Having only just opened, Destihl seems poised to provide wonderful beer, food and experiences for years to come.

So…I kind of want to make a tarot deck
And I want to draw people that have played the role of certain arechetypes in my life. But my lack of self confidence in my art skills has scared me and I have had many attempts and have failed.
Like my boyfriend's family really reminds me of the wands suit since they have been integral with rebirth and change from my mental health, and since my boyfriend was raised pagan I've been in a very healing and spiritual environment.
I'd also love to draw my highschool english teacher as a card, possibly the heirophant? Since he calls himself the Johnny Appleseed of good books, and had this habit of hijacking kids in the hallway who were troubled to give him a book that would change their lives or inspire him. He was a huge mentor for me and I was a teaching assistant to the first advanced creative writing course he pioneered. He also opened up a whole world of poc authors for me and was THE ONLY teacher who exposed us to famous works by people who weren't dead white guys.
And I'd love to draw my foster aunt as the queen of swords since her calculating strict guidance helped me survive the college application process and continues to keep me on track to recovery.
But I'm like I suck at art and I get so annoyed when my art improves and the first half isn't as good as the second half and augh.
But when I was showing my boyfriend's mom the shadowscapes tarot since Stephanie Pui Min law is a huge inspiration to me. (I've been following that deck since he beginning) and we're both artists she's like "Tiff you should totally make a deck" I mean drawing tarot cards when I was in the psych ward was really really helpful and fun for me and the other patients. It was one of the few bright and good things that made everyone who was miserable there happy. (They treated us like crap there) and it was really rewarding to see their faces light I can up and smile and talk to me about their experiences, and I got to glimpse what they were like when they were healthy and just…I think it could really help me.
I wish I didn't suck so bad at art.
At home I had a binder of cards I made when I was 12 and I was super super passionate and excited about it. It's actually how I learned the meanings of all the cards by researching the interpretations and drawing my own version, they are really silly looking but I don't have that passion that drive that "I don't care I'm the best!" attitude.
And as amateur as it looks they had a sense of life to them and now all my art looks stiff and forced. I can't draw like my sis theemptypot since everything looks like it's alive. I can only look at a photo, reference it and make it look like that photo. I draw from life, but again it's stiff it's not fluid it's not alive.
My personal art/design blog
It's okay you don't have to. ^^;

PROMYS for Teachers is designed to support current efforts in Massachusetts to enhance problem-solving and open-ended exploration in secondary school mathematics classrooms. PROMYS engages middle and high school teachers in an intensive experience of mathematical exploration. Over the course of six weeks, PROMYS teachers develop, through problem-solving, many classical results in number theory. This experience is enriched by a supportive community of other teachers, high school students, graduate students, and research faculty. The program fosters new insights into the nature of mathematical investigation as participants practice the habits of mind that are at the core of creative mathematics. Academic year workshops help teachers translate the summer experience into fundamental change in their own classrooms.
The Massachusetts Mathematics Curriculum Framework calls for exactly the kind of exploration that PROMYS provides. It calls for a shift away from solving routine problems to problem-solving as the focus of mathematics programs. Indeed, one of the Framework's guiding principles is that students should explore mathematical ideas in ways that help them maintain their enjoyment of and curiosity about mathematics. Accordingly, PROMYS participants are asked to work beyond their centers of competence and to push the limits of their knowledge. The PROMYS community provides a rich support network so that teachers can spend time as mathematics learners in a safe and supportive environment.
PROMYS has existed for over two decades at Boston University as a program that engages mathematically inclined high school students in the process of mathematical exploration through their work on unusually challenging problems in number theory. Since 1991, PROMYS has also worked with pre-service high school mathematics teachers from the Boston University School of Education. In the summer of 1999, PROMYS expanded its activities again by engaging in-service Massachusetts high school mathematics teachers in the program's summer activities and running five professional development seminars during the academic year.

Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham to join Louisville
Louisville, KY, United States (4E Sports) – Todd Grantham will leave Georgia to become defensive coordinator at Louisville for a five-year guaranteed contract worth $1 million per year.
He joins the team of Bobby Petrino who was hired this week as Louisville head coach entering the Cardinals' first season in the ACC.
In four seasons at Georgia, Grantham was able to increase sacks and takeaways through a 3-4 scheme.
In 2011, the Georgia defense finished fifth nationally in total defense.
He previously coached in the NFL with Dallas, Cleveland, Houston and Indianapolis and previously in college at Michigan State and Virginia Tech.
Among the coaches Grantham has worked with are Frank Beamer, Bud Foster, Nick Saban, Romeo Crennel, Dom Capers and Wade Phillips.
Georgia coach Mark Richt intends to keep Grantham for the 2014 season despite calls for the defensive coordinator's job.
Grantham made $850,000 per year at Georgia.

Dear Liam,
I can't believe how much you have grown. You no longer want my cuddles, kisses, hugs, and love, you only want your toys and space to yourself. Try to play with you, scream! Try and read you a book, tear it out of my hands and throw it! Give you kisses and hugs, scream and push me away! You never want me to hold you when we are out and about, you'd rather have your independence and use your new and improved walking skills to run away from me! And running far from me doesn't seem to scare you. But it's okay, you're just exploring and learning new things! One day I'll have my playtime, hugs, kisses, and cuddles back. Until then, i'll sit back and let you explore the world around you. I love you to infinity and beyond, baby boy. Always remember that. :)

Pleasant Relationships
FROM the BEGINNING of TIME
Copyright © 2011 — 2014 Pleasant Relationships
Throughout Pleasant Relationships (PR), the focus is on two acronyms, representing two general, but opposite, types of individuals. The first is the "NUMAWIT" (adorably known as a "nummie"), and the second is the "HAVEIT" (admirably known as a "havvie"). Nummies represent those who possess a majority of unfavorable character traits, while havvies are those who possess a majority of admirable character traits. Within each of these groups are two more specialized divisions of individuals, also represented with acronyms. One grouping is the DARKAWITs, who reside within the NUMAWIT alliance. The second is the WITHITs, who reside within and represent the exclusive, top genre within the HAVEIT grouping. Detailed definitions of each of these acronyms are found in Chapters 2 and 3.
In PR you will learn that nummies are literally everywhere! So who are they? Is your neighbor next door a nummie? How about your doctor? Is your psychologist one? It's possible they all might be! Layman or professional, no one is immune to the dreaded nummie syndrome. Is your spouse, your girlfriend or your boyfriend a nummie? Perhaps… and you must also consider yourself! Discover how to identify havvies and nummies in the upcoming Chapters 2 through 11. Details within these chapters will also teach you how to identify to which of the above two groups you belong. Regardless of which group you identify with, you can also learn how to make positive changes within yourself. Besides, it's best you make those changes now, before The Depurator does it for you!
PR recently completed a population analysis study where we discovered that nummies constitute the majority of our population—hence, they truly are EVERYWHERE! With continued research, we also discovered that this personality trait syndrome is actually disease-like and very contagious. Because of the ease and speed with which it spreads, PR has nicknamed it "The NUMAWIT Plague!"
Planetary history assures us that the NUMAWIT plague has existed FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME. In the biblical book of Genesis, recorded approximately 6000 years ago, we find that "Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him." Such a characterization of Cain places him in the specialized NUMAWIT group specifically known as the DARKAWIT faction—a minority group at that time.
Because of the "survival of the fittest" philosophy, and with the exception of a few minor societal road bumps, numawism truly involved only a minority of the populous until the 1960s. At that time, and due to the "artificial" lifestyle made available through modern-day living, the NUMAWIT plague took over the majority of the population. Since then, it has been snowballing on an ever-increasing, parabolic curve. What can be done? First, it must be identified!

Other recordings available for download
|Florian Boesch (baritone), Roger Vignoles (piano)
This is a marvel of impressionistic calm. The sea is motionless but we are also aware of the sinister implications of a becalmed voyage before the era of steam power. A tensely wrought melodic line is underpinned by breathless modulations - the arpeggii in the piano part convey stillness and fear at the same time. The song is only one page long but it somehow suspends time and place: the horizons are endless, the ship is cradled in dark waters, the piano part seems to measure the sea's depth, its chords vibrating like a sounding with line and lead. Above the vocal line there is no trace of wind in the sails. Fischer-Dieskau has written that 'the score of the song looks like a drawing' and indeed here is a map of motionless semibreves and the undulating lines denoting arpeggii seem nautically illustrative. The only undercurrent is one of human apprehension at the void created by Nature who has withdrawn her cooperation.
Goethe's poem dates from 1787 when, during his Italian journey, he voyaged from Naples to Sicily, and encountered all weathers. Schubert never even saw the sea - Austrian lakes were as near as he got. Beethoven also set the poem (chorally with orchestra} at more or less the same time, linking it with a happy ending - a setting of the pendant poem, Glückliche Fahrt (Prosperous Voyage). Schubert preferred to leave the ship at sea, captured for ever and set under glass on the waters' depths.

A Saturation Monitor (Pulse Oximeter) is a device that measures the oxygen saturation level in a patient's blood. The oxygen saturation level represents the amount of oxygen carried in the blood.
The Saturation Monitor is attached to the patient by means of a long lead and a probe. This probe will attach lightly to a patient's finger (as illustrated) or their ear, nose or mouth. The probe gives off light that is able to tell the oxygen saturation level in the blood.
All Intensive Care interventions and procedures carry a degree of potential risk even when performed by skilled and experienced staff. Please discuss these issues with the medical and nursing staff who are caring for the patient.
Of course, if you have any questions or concerns, please discuss them with the ICU nurses and doctors.

HOUSTON (BP) -- GuideStone Financial Resources will offer a seminar on church security at the 2013 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting in Houston, featuring a survivor of the horrific 1999 church massacre that killed seven people and wounded seven others at Wedgwood Baptist Church in Texas
Jeff Laster, an associate pastor at Wedgwood in Fort Worth and a survivor of the shooting there, will participate in a panel discussion in part two of the seminar on Wed., June 12 from 7:30-8:30 a.m. in Room 362B on Level 3 of the George R. Brown Convention Center. Risk management and legal experts will join Laster on the panel.
Part one of the seminar, June 11 from 8-9 a.m. in the same room, will feature an industry expert from Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company to discuss how to address safety concerns, protect members and visitors and train an effective security team.
Seating is limited for the free seminar that includes a complimentary hot breakfast on both days. Register online beginning in May at www.GuideStone.org/SBC13 or onsite at the GuideStone booth in the Exhibit Hall.
Retirement experts will be on hand June 10 from 3-4 p.m., June 11 from 9-10 a.m. and 3-4 p.m. and June 12 from 9-10 a.m. in Room 350F of the convention center to discuss GuideStone's retirement income options. Designed for people within five to 10 years of retirement, each session will cover income needs, sources and options. Attendees will receive a retirement income solutions kit, learn more about income options and how to establish a benefit, discover valuable planning tools and resources, and receive answers to commonly-asked questions about GuideStone retirement income options. Pre-registration is recommended at www.GuideStone.org/SBC13 or onsite but not required.
GuideStone will make available its popular wellness center. Those who take advantage of this free resource will receive free blood-based screenings valued at $150. For best results, fast at least 12 hours prior to screenings. Participants will receive a personalized report suitable to take to their family doctors.
Messengers may order materials for Mission:Dignity Sunday, June 23 across the SBC. Mission:Dignity Sunday is an opportunity to help support retired Southern Baptist ministers, and in many cases their widows, living near the poverty line. For more details on this ministry, visit www.MissionDignitySBC.org.
The first 500 people who request Mission:Dignity materials and the first 500 people at the wellness center will receive a free copy of GuideStone President O.S. Hawkins' devotional book, "The Joshua Code: 52 Scripture Verses Every Believer Should Know."

The authors present the results of a controlled observation of
withdrawal reactions accompanying cessation of desmethyldiazepam
(clorazepate) therapy. The two subjects studied had had generalized anxiety
disorder for several years; both were free from manifestations of other
forms of psychopathology or addictive behavior patterns. Both patients
maintained stable patterns of clorazepate use at modest doses for extended
periods of time. The findings suggest that the long plasma half-life of
clorazepate does not offer unique protection from withdrawal reactions
associated with long-term therapy. Manifestations of these withdrawal
reactions are indistinguishable from reactions associated with other
benzodiazepine compounds.

Eufloria is an ambient game of space exploration and conquest that employs surprising themes of plant growth and bio mechanical evolution. The game allows the player to explore a beautifully realized universe rendered in a style that is both unique and compelling. Eufloria's aesthetics are reminiscent of children's books like "the little prince" and the gameplay is supported by an original ambient soundtrack by Brian Grainger. Gameplay revolves around conquering asteroids in space and using their resources to literally grow and nurture new semi-organic plants and creatures to do the player's bidding. The player is pitched against several teams of AI opponents that all vie for the same resources and can offer fierce opposition.

As fallen Communist Party star Bo Xilai defended himself in a Chinese court on Friday, he portrayed his wife, Gu Kailai, as "crazy" and a person who "often tells lies."
And in a move that might delight students of Chinese history, he also said she compared herself to China's most famous assassin.
Official testimony released Friday by the court in the city of Jinan showed Mr. Bo resumed his combative ways as his trial on charges of bribery, corruption and abuse of power continued. He denied that he was involved in the purchase or management of a French villa at the center of the case. Ms. Gu said in her testimony that she owned the villa and that Mr. Bo had been aware of it.
In response, Mr. Bo said the prosecution hadn't been able to establish serious links between him and the French villa, aside from Ms. Gu's contention that he had seen a slideshow of photos of the place more than a decade ago.
But he also directly attacked Ms. Gu's credibility. "Gu Kailai has changed," he told the court, according to an official transcript. "She's gone crazy. She often tells lies. She exposed me when she was not psychologically normal. The people in charge of the case put tremendous pressure on her and asked her to expose me."
He then brought up Ms. Gu's conviction for murdering British businessman Neil Heywood – the event that triggered Mr. Bo's fall from a onetime candidate for higher office.
Mr. Bo said Ms. Gu compared herself to Jing Ke, a seminal figure in Chinese history. In 227 B.C., Jing Ke set out to assassinate the ruler of Qin, one of the several warring states that predated a united China. But he failed, and the ruler of Qin went on to become China's first emperor.
"Kailai used to say that when she killed Neil, she felt the kind of pride that Jing Ke felt when he went to assassinate the emperor of Qin," he said. "That's enough to prove she's not psychologically normal."
Ms. Gu is in prison and unreachable for comment.

The cool thing is that my brother is one of the engineers doing design work on this project. I get to hear all about parts of the development each week when I talk with him
I have such mixed feelings about this. It uses the same solid rocket boosters as the shuttle, yes? But going off of the same design cues as the old Apollos? Somehow it feels to me like we're taking a big step backward, and that we've wasted the last 30 odd years. I'm glad we're going back. I just think it could've been much, much sooner.
That's the problem – we did waste 30 years doing nothing but messing around in LEO. The public got "bored" of the moon missions because we "beat" the Soviets. NASA lacked a vision after that, so they just sort of meandered about until someone cooked up the ISS project, which kind of gave us something to do.
We learned a metric ton of knowledge, mind you, but, yeah, we should;ve already had a permanent outpost on the moon by now. I just hope Obama, if he wins, doesn't axe the space program for his education policy, because that money can come from somewhere else quite easily.
PS, looks like the originating website is here:
I love Obama, really I do, but there was some talk that if he wins there might be serious NASA cuts to pay for other programs and bring the budget in line.

Trade of the Week Hall of Famer, Matthew Peterson!
May was the month Forex Ninja introduced the Trade of the Week Contest. Ever since then, loads of you have been participating by submitting entries or voting for them. Yes, there are currently 12 Trade of the Week Hall of Famers (as of 2011-08-08T11:58:05-05:00)!
At first, I wasn't sure which Hall of Famer would be picked for an interview. I ran out of ideas, so I figured I'd go out and look at the stars for inspiration. Yes, I spent a whole day mulling this over. I know it's silly, but hey, that's how much effort I put into this! There I was, lying on the ground, making my grass angel (no snow, you see), when I realized something. The answer was right in front of me. Literally. Believe it or not, the stars above spelled it out for me, letter by letter. It was fate. They spelled letter M, A, double T, P, I, P and S (that wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out, would it?).
Matthew Peterson is mattspips. His setup won the hearts of all you voters out there for the week of July 11 to 15. His EUR/USD long trade setup got 44.44% of the total votes!
It's one thing for us to feature the trade; it's another to feature the mind behind the trade. Let's find out a little bit more about Matt!
When did you start trading forex?
I started practice trading forex about 10 months ago. I've really been learning a lot in the past few months though.
Who/What got you started?
I first heard about the forex market in a macroeconomics class I took about a year ago. I started to read up on it on my own, found a few great websites (including BabyPips.com ) and ever since, I've been hooked! The liquidity and the amount of money that can be made really caught my attention.
Do you have a favorite pair to trade? If so, which is it and why?
My favorite pair is the EUR/USD. It's been a difficult beast to tame, but I like it because of how much it moves every session, and the fact that it's the most widely traded pair makes it the lowest spread.
What made you decide to join the Trade of the Week contest?
I saw a good setup on EUR/USD so I wanted to share it. It didn't end up working out; there were some fundamentals coming out that week that made the pair go in the opposite direction of my trade idea – hard to see it coming!
What is your advice to the newbies out there who would want or who are interested in joining the Trade of the Week Contest?
Really think about what you are submitting, chances are people will be making trades with it too, so take care to give solid reasoning behind the trade idea. Also don't forget about any fundamental releases that may come out that week and be aware how that might affect the price.
What's your favorite brand of chocolates?
Favorite brand? Who makes crunch bars, Nestle? I would have to go with them, cookies and cream crunch bars are the best! They used to make a white chocolate crunch bar, that was cats ass, but they don't make it anymore.
What life lesson has forex trading taught you?
Be patient, and sometimes, your 'brilliant ideas' don't always work out, and you sometimes have to go with the flow. I've also been more careful in making financial decisions, too. I haven't been buying things I don't need as much since trading.
When would you say was the first time in your life that you realized you were truly happy?
That's a difficult question. I've never really been grumpy. Well, unless it's early in the morning and I wake up to a loss of pips overnight. Bu t truly happy, I would have to say that I'm always truly happy. If I weren't happy doing what I was doing or where I was at, I would change things until I was. I don't want to get too philosophical, but it's all just a state of mind.
Have you joined other types of contests in the past? How about trading-related contests?
I haven't yet. I probably will once I trade full time and get out of my current job, but until then, I'm just trading for myself.
Which FX-Men would you say you have similarities with (trading-wise, that is)?
I would have to be most like Big Pippin, because I always draw chart patterns, too, and I'm always aware of them and what may form. He also uses Fib levels, and stochastic and looks for divergences like I do.
Thanks, mattspips, for spending some time with us and letting us get to know you better! I urge the rest of you to submit your entries for Trade of the Week Hall of Famer! Who knows, you could be our next winner?! The whole BabyPips.com community, if not the whole forex world, shall know of you, utter your name and put you on a pedestal as if you were Steve Jobs to the ultimate Apple fanboy.
I gotta run. The mention of Nestle crunch bars is making me crave some chocolate! They are yum!

I found a twig in Victoria Park in 2010 while taking a walk with a loved one. Looking at it always reminded me of that moment.

If you would like this ring made in a different colour or material, please get in touch as this ring can be made in any metal.
Simple, elegant, different.
These are three words to describe these gold twig rings which feature organic texturing all over it.
Perfect for stacking, mix and match with rings from my other collections for a unique look.
This ring is Made to Order. Please remember to leave your ring size in the Note to Designer upon check out.
It can take up to 5 working days to complete your order before it is ready to send.

The Motorola Moto X hits all the right notes, delivering stock Android inside a powerful high-end handset that you can customize yourself.
Motorola's new Moto G exemplifies the budget Android phone, but if you prefer your data LTE-flavored, it's best to wait for that model.
Pricing not available
The round Moto 360 smartwatch has been unveiled at last, and it's striking. But what makes it different? Here's our first impressions after having it on our wrist for a day.
Although the Motorola Moto G with 4G LTE is a bit pricier than its 3G-only sibling, it still has one of the best displays in the budget arena, its processor makes operation enjoyably smooth and its rounded, compact body is both comfortable and attractive. If you're after an affordable all-round entrance into the high speeds of 4G, you've come to the right place.
Totally hands-free communication with your Moto X, or one-touch with any other phone. Is the Moto Hint a hint of earbuds to come?
The Motorola Moto E is unquestionably cheap and has a set of specs that makes it more than capable of handling your basic everyday tasks. Its price, however, isn't much lower than the Moto G, which has a better camera, more powerful processor, improved screen and longer battery life. Unless you're shopping on a very tight budget, the Moto G is still the best value phone around.
Motorola is holding launch events around the world today, beginning in India with the launch of the 4.3-inch Moto E.
Today we're playing around with the Moto 360 totally unsupervised! Then we'll chat about a Destiny fragrance and how Amazon is attempting to bring "The Tick" back to life!
It looks like Motorola's Android Wear smartwatch is on its way this September, but the stretched-out debut is flirting with a very crowded fall.
The company plans the unveiling of its eagerly anticipated smartwatch and possibly new versions of its Moto X and Moto G smartphones.

Nobody can know everything, as good old Socrates said. Knowledge and understanding are based on the amount of experiences and people we are exposed to, and not how "smart" someone is. I am an extremely caring, open-minded individual looking forward to sharing and gaining experiences by teaching students on a one-to-one basis. I want to get to know the student and help him or her grow on an individual basis, so that he or she can get to know me and help me grow as a teacher and individual.

Overview to Luxembourg: Travel Guide and Tourist Information
Despite its diminutive size and decidedly quaint feel, Luxembourg is a surprisingly rewarding place to visit. It isn't a place for bright lights and thumping beats, but it is hard to beat in terms of good scenery and relaxing ambience.
Perhaps inevitably, Luxembourg City draws the majority of the country's visitors. A splendid place set on the banks of dramatic canyons that plunge down towards the confluence of two rivers, Luxembourg City is one of Europe's most unexpectedly beautiful cities.
The Old Town (to the north of the Petrusse Valley) is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. And the way to get the most out of the city is to soak up its eminently tranquil atmosphere with a spot of people-watching from a café in the Place D'Armes.
The Musée National d'Histoire et d'Art and impressive neo-Gothic Cathedral sit just a few blocks away. In between the southern and northern parts of the city, meanwhile, the huge ruin of the Citadelle du St-Esprit makes for fascinating exploring.
Away from Luxembourg City, central and southern Luxembourg are comprised of largely wooded expanses of pleasantly rolling countryside. whilst the north is characterized by much of the same, with some notable sandstone rock formations thrown in for good measure.

Pius has consistently had the strogest soccer program in the state for close to 20 years now. A true powerhouse!

What? No love for the Augusta area team? Greenbrier-Evans tied Pius and is undefeated in 5A this season, but only ranked 14th? This is a consistently strong program…looking forward to the playoffs.

This must be a joke. St. Pius doesn't play any real teams during the season in their division.
They would be marginal in 5A and would be lucky if they even made the playoffs.
Northview is ranked #8???? They have a 17-1 record in the toughest division in the state.
Was this poll done by someone at St. Pius?
