I have been really busy with my business lately. Almost all of my time has been spent doing web design. I have paying clients and a ton of new design work on my plate. Almost half involves me learning how to do new stuff, which is exciting. But at the same time, I found myself stressed beyond all reason with the enormity of it all. I also had this nagging feeling that I was falling hopelessly behind in everything else.
And if that was not enough, I also kept beating myself up for being stressed out. Geez, maybe I would not be so stressed, if I wasn't also stressing about how stressed out I felt.
My next few blog entries will explore my process for getting through this difficult period.
This first one follows weeks of waking up to a mental list of everything on my plate. Sometimes I woke up with a new algorithm or a new code fragment, but after a while the message was often just "… gotta go, gotta go, now, now, now …." And throughout this entire period, I felt this deep regret at not living up to some past level of true efficiency.
... from my journal ...
Woke up thinking about coding again or at least that is what intruded immediately to my waking mind. But I somehow knew that I had not been dreaming of code, so I settled back to sleep after my bathroom
run intentional walk. And slowly an image began to emerge.
I saw myself being pulled along by a dog on a leash. A dog hunh? I am being pulled along by a dog? Instantly, I heard my father's voice, "Never let a dog drag you!" So I pulled hard on the leash. Instantly I was awake again … then I slowly began drifting off.
This time the image was of a car, an old car, an old ivory colored car but it looked brand new. It was long, spotless and gleaming. It even had fins and fancy grillwork. But something was not right about this car. The proportions seemed off. It did not seem to have room for the wheels or they were completely hidden.
The image is distorted. How would you change a flat tire for instance? It is like nostalgia, what parts that are remembered are off in many ways. Hmmm …
The nostalgic car is impractical and impossible to maintain. So whatever I am imagining of my old ways of handling things is not only distorted it is non-sustainable.
After my chiro visit, I sat with my journal in my favorite haunt and pondered the meaning of my morning images.
I remembered hearing myself arguing with myself the day before…
"Ivo has a business along with all his teaching and counseling."
"But I am not Ivo. He is healthy and still he works really hard at keeping up with it all. Plus his store has staff and a kick ass manager. And he lives with all these incredibly talented and dedicated people who are also pulling long hours"
"I like having real deadlines to work toward."
"But not if it means nothing moves forward for me personally. And the reasons these deadlines are real are because it involves someone other than you. What does that say about your commitment to achieving your own personal goals, aspirations and dreams?"
Later that same day, my healer elder said that I needed to listen to my water self during this fiery period. Which is interesting because in my system of elemental classification, my water self is also my child. So in effect she was once again calling attention to my child self.
I decided to listen to what all the parts were saying:
"You gotta work hard and keep commitments to get ahead in this world. All this lollygagging is getting you nowhere. Get busy, time is money."
"I am tired of all this work. I need more down time, more rest. Even my playtime is filled with, 'Do this! Do that!' I can never have time just for me."
" I am out of balance. Yes, there is a lot on my plate but the way we handle this is by getting enough down time, rest, good food, and by focusing on home and hearth. And of course taking care of my physical self. This is not the time to walk away from Radical Self Care."
So I decided to take an afternoon nap. I also spent the rest of the day relaxing and watching some of my favorite TV shows. I think I also made myself a chocolate sundae.
Next time, the morning after…

There are many accomplishments in my life for which I am proud. My academic accomplishments and awards were the high points of my childhood.
I am proud of my engineering and computer science degrees and my eight promotions/advancements at Bell Atlantic/Verizon. And in spite of how difficult it became at times, I am proud of my many contributions within YOBU, Revolutionary Workers League, National Organization for Women, Washington Peace Center, Sojourner Truth Congregation of Unitarian Universalists, and Reclaiming.
I am proud of Dark Flame Coven, Reflections Mystery School, and my web design company, Amber Eyes Solutions. Hell, I am even proud of this blog, Katrina's Joy.
But besides my corporate career (25 years) and my coven (14 years), my longest running project is Connect DC.
Back in 1998, Dark Flame Coven was notorious only because we were public. This is surprising when you realize that we have never had more than six members. I am not sure, but I think we had already been on the front page of the Washington Post and had been invited to do ritual at several local Unitarian Universalist churches.
But it was after I attended the Reclaiming Spring Equinox ritual in San Francisco, that I felt Dark Flame could do more. So in the summer of 1998, I cajoled Dark Flame plus members of other covens, several Radical Fairies and a few radical feminists friends such as Dr. Loraine Hutchins to join me in Eric Eldritch's living room to plan our public celebration of the Summer Solstice right here in DC. We pulled together a ritual on a rooftop with a few small theatrics ending with the presentation of the Sun cake by my coven sister Rose and her Radical Fairy brother Nicko. It was glorious!
It was after noting the discomfort of a coven member plus several of the invited covens, that I decided to pursue my dream as a separate public ritual group. And so it was after our public Summer Solstice ritual that I began to plan for what became known as the original working of Connect DC.
Next Spring will be Connect DC's ten-year anniversary. But yesterday's ritual on the mall was the ten-year anniversary of my test run. Next year we will celebrate in public, but right now, I am celebrating the manifestation of a vision and the realization of a dream ... my dream … come true. And for me, this is a source of great pride.
Thank you to Dark Flame and the entire DC community, and of course, a hearty thank you especially to the ancestors and the gods.
A grateful Katrina

I guess it is time for me to come out of hiding. It has been a hellish period in many ways, but I think I have finally turned a corner. So I am peeking out and coming up for air.
It is often difficult to explain a descent into the underworld to those who have not been blessed with a visit, but I kind of expect that those that bother to read my rants are somewhat familiar with the terrain.
I went down. Or rather, I came up. Or … I have been on a hellish journey.
Sometimes I feel like I need to say the following words as preface to my storytelling -- None of what follows is metaphor.
"I've been 'buked, I've been scorned, I've been talked about sure as you're born."
That is a refrain from a song by my friend Evelyn Harris, formerly of Sweet Honey in the Rock. It is a refrain that can be sung by most black women, yes. But for me it spoke volumes.
Sometimes, there is a terror so deep, it can take almost 30 years to build up enough strength to face it. Over the last several months, I came face to face with such a terror.
[…breathe] … In the mid seventies I was a member of a group infiltrated by the FBI's counter intelligence program otherwise known as COINTELPRO. Their usual tactics included seeding dissension and causing miscommunication. In the movement where I was a member, they created a climate of fear and paranoia. This produced a whirlwind of violence, hysteria and endless purges.
Because of my PTSD, I am no longer sure of exactly when it happened. Let's just say that the year was either 1975 or 1976. I think it was during the month of October.
So […breathe] … in October of 1975 or 1976, I was beaten, tortured and abandoned in an industrial area overnight somewhere in New York City.
In some ways it was a relief. I had already suffered countless hours of terror and physical abuse, where the psychological aspects of the torture were in fact the most painful and long lasting. Followed by hours of being locked up in a dark room filled with weeping and bleeding victims. I was finally rousted up and dragged from the room by the very people who had accompanied me from DC. I was thrown into a car and driven to an unknown location where I was even threatened for daring to look out a window along the way.
I stood in the darkness, in shock, watching as the car pulled away. At least the torture and accusations were over, that is how I initially felt. Then the stark reality dawned on me that I had no idea where I was and I had nothing to defend myself. I spent the night crying, huddled on a bench under a flickering streetlight, shivering with fear. I had money, but I was so traumatized, I was afraid to call anyone from the lone phone booth less than a hundred yards away.
When morning finally came, the dark shapes receded and revealed an industrial area filled with skulking warehouses. The day light also revealed just how desolate and unforgiving my site of abandonment had been. Slowly the area began to crawl with life, and a shuttered low building became a greasy spoon catering to the early morning denizens of this place. I bought some food and got up enough nerve to use the phone booth.
I did what any frightened child would do; I called my mother. Coming from a family of psychics, my poor mother had been up all night – she knew one of her children was in danger. A bit later, after the ghetto network of my family was activated, my New York cousin, Mary, called me back. Less than two hours later, I stepped off a transit bus into her welcoming arms and was on my way to her home for a bath and meal.
Over the next several months, I was suicidal, depressed and listless. It was during those months of despair that I made my unholy vow. I had somehow decided that in an incident where I had clearly been the victim (along with countless others), that it was all somehow my fault. Not the fault of the people who abandoned me in the darkness, or the fault of the people who had beat me, tortured me and betrayed my trust. No. I had obviously done something to deserve such brutality, I had failed and so I steeled myself to never fail again.
And so I shut off my outrage, my anger, my fear, my grief, and my terror -- I toughened up.
But over these past several months, all that toughness dissolved within the supportive container of my coven, my healers and my dear, dear friends. And I let it all go and I finally broke down. I finally experienced all of the terror, grief, and outrage I refused to feel all those years ago. I am in fact still experiencing it. And so it has been difficult to write, read, sing, dance, eat, sleep, walk, talk or even breathe without triggering thirty-year-old memories of sheer terror.
And yet … still I write, read, sing, dance, eat, sleep, walk, talk … and yes breathe. Because I have already given those brutish cowards more than thirty years of my silence … they will get no more.
And so I visit with my younger self often, and I sit with her in that dark and tormented place. I hold her in my arms and keep vigil throughout the night. Her pain and terror is real. I can still feel it in my flesh every single day.
And so today, I open my mouth and I say … I've been betrayed, I've been tortured, I have been abandoned, I've been raped, I've been abducted, I've been dragged out of my bed at gunpoint, I've been stalked, and I've been sexually abused by a Catholic priest. I say out loud all the pain I have been carrying in silence.
And so, as of today, I refuse to carry the shame and guilt that should have been carried by those gutless cowards. Yes, I have survived, but only just barely in many ways. Today, I will not toughen up. I will not soldier through. I will not walk it off. I have simply let go of a burden that should have never been mine in the first place.
Today, I may be mad as hell, and my heart is clearly broken. But being angry and broken hearted is not a detour, a distraction or a defect. My soul's journey often seems circuitous even to me, but I am growing and healing with every step. I am not off the path; this is my path. And as Evelyn sang all those years ago, "I'm just going to keep on moving on." My path, my journey continues.
Thanks for listening.

I've been with Firefly for a number of years, I recently left my position at The Firefly Community to pursue other dreams but to be clear how much I was involved before I address the statements made, I was a teacher, Priestess, member of the Inner Circle of the Council of Elders, Course Contributor, Clergy, Delegate and Divination reader so I was quite involved with Firefly on many levels.
I am offended by your statement that Firefly is cultish. Given my involvement as listed above I can safely say that Firefly members are not cultish in behaviour nor is Firefly cultish in of itself. I am no longer involved with Firefly in any strong capacity other than that of a student so I can also safely say this is not coming from a blind faith position. I will be the first to admit that part of the reason I left Firefly was because I did not agree with some of the changes Lady Iris intended to make, that being said, I don't support the idea that abuse should be turned into a political statement.
I don't know Sean and I am not close to Lady Iris (I live in a different country) and have not commented on the situation with her marriage but some of his behaviours are reprehensible. If a President did this he would be impeached and booted so I fail to see why it should be ignored and relegated to 'personal marital issues' when behaviour like this is indicative of larger psychological issues. If Sean Bennett is allowed to use and abuse women in this fashion, eventually he would work his way through the single ladies in the OHF and what would you be left with?
I for one have been pondering this question. Iris did highlight a valuable point - how are checks and balances established to prevent potential abuse and to air concerns. These are hard lessons that groups need to learn.
Without denying people their agency, how do you set up a system that will prevent abuse by other members? How far does a group go to ensure the mental and emotional safety of the adult members?
For example, I know with my disability (brain injury), I would deeply resent being told that the group is looking out for my best interests. It would seem to be paternalistic on the group's part to assume that I cannot fend for myself. But because of my disability, I can be easy prey for a con-artist. How do you solve a dilemma like that? Can this be encoded or is this sort of thing too nebulous to pin down?
I have a traumatic brain injury.
That being said, I got caught in the cross-fire in the Firefly Campaign, since I did not get with the program - i.e. Firemoon was abused by a sexual predator, who for the sake of the community had to be removed. I was shocked at how this mantra was repeated over and over everywhere it could be. I was shocked at how the Firefly folks did not identify themselves as they sought to achieve their goals. It left a poor taste about Firefly in my mouth since I started to regard them as "cultish", incapable of independent thought or discussion. Also it disturbed me how the Firefly folks who had nothing to do with DC, carried water in the campaign as well.
Since I had lot of free time, I researched the consistent posters and everything I could find, and an disturbing picture arose. The one you described of a one-sided campaign to achieve a stated end, without proper identification or perspective.
As for the brain injury - I got raked over the coals for making light of the issue from an avowed healer, who thought my injury was a ruse. That scared me into thinking that perhaps my impression of the "cultishness" of the Firefly group was true. (I know cult is a loaded word, but I cannot think of the word that would indicate a group of people, emotionally inflamed with one mission in mind, and not allowing any dissent.)
I am so sorry that we have not met yet since it so obvious from your comments that you are a close personal friend of Iris's and know all there is to know about the situation from a front row seat. I mean, after all, one who has seen a woman four months pregnant, losing weight and physically appearing to not be pregnant would of course understand the emotional, and yes, physical stress she was under. But of course, since you were there I don't need to remind you of that. So lets move on to the rest of the story, you know where her husband chose to have unprotected sex with someone else, who I am sure was a complete virgin and posed no risk to mother or child, and then husband went home to engage in carnal activities with his wife, confident that his unborn child was never at risk. Yes, I am sure that all of your female students understand why you are firmly in the husband's court. After all, it's always the woman's fault when marriages go bad. Or at least that is what I seem to glean from your article. Yes, I am Firefly, and I was one of the one's chosen to help this woman after she was victimized by this predator who seems to have persuaded the pagan community that it is acceptable to treat not one, not two but at last count four woman as though they were simply a means to his end. And BTW I know she attempted to alert the community to her situation and apparently no one felt it worth even a cursory investigation. Oh yes, one more example of us not wanting to rock any one's boat. I will tell you that in response to her story, several other pagan women have come forward with similar stories of abuse reported to the male members of a community met with similar disdain and an obvious desire to hide this type of behavior. Do I believe it happened this time, yes; do I believe that this community is willing, no matter the cost, to hide this type of behavior, yes. No one wants to call attention to the pagan community because we already have an undeserved stigma. But that does not mean we should allow behavior none of us condone simply because we are afraid of controversy. If one of us needs be sanctioned, then we either stand and sanction or accept the stigma so many would place upon us. We need to "police" our own. When four and probably five women come forth and tell the same story of predatory behavior against women we either act or fold the tents and go home. So I suggest you talk to all of them before you post any more pontifications. I also realize you can never post this but we both know you will have read it.
Hello Katrina,
Although we know one another, mostly online but also when we met at Sacred Harvest Festival, for your readers let me note that I'm the Managing Editor of PNC-News and the Co-Editor of PNC-Minnesota. I was the primary author of the PNC-News statement that you are writing about.
The persons who contacted me asking when PNC would cover this were not Firefly members. Most were not local to DC, but were Pagans and polytheists in other parts of the country who had donated to the Pagan community center in DC and naturally had an interest in it. Why would they contact me? Because I'm the Managing Editor and people often contact me to ask if PNC is covering a story or to request that we cover a story. That's how we get many of our articles - through our readers.
As for why PNC-News put two different situations in one statement, it's because they are related in nature and both needed to be addressed promptly.
If anyone has any questions, we encourage them to contact us and ask them.
Thank you for this perspective. I very much appreciate the voice of the elders as I struggle with my own (not-voiced) feelings about this situation and its outcome.

New Chevy Cruze Turbo Diesel Generates Buzz with Astounding Fuel-Economy Bill Jacobs Plainfield to Introduce Chevy Cruze Turbo Diesel this Summer
PLAINFIELD, Ill., May 14, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- When the 2014 Chevy Cruze Turbo Diesel arrives at dealerships this summer, it will hold the title of highest gas mileage of any non-hybrid passenger car in the United States. While maintaining the performance familiar to Shorewood Chevy owners, the new diesel engine will help power the vehicle to an EPA-estimated 46 MPG.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130514/CG13626)
In addition to the eye-catching fuel-economy estimates, the Cruze Turbo Diesel can travel an astounding 700 miles on a single tank of gas. According to a recent test, a Chevy engineer was able to squeeze 900 miles out of a full tank by driving slightly below the speed limit the entire way. For drivers looking for elite fuel-efficiency without the dual motors of a hybrid or the constant charging of an electric vehicle, the 2014 Chevy Cruze Turbo Diesel looks to be the ideal alternative.
Under the hood, the Chevy Cruze Turbo Diesel packs a 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine with 148 horsepower and 258 lbs.-ft. of torque. Additionally, Chevy added an overboost feature that provides lifts of acceleration for quickly getting up to highway speeds or getting around other drivers in a pinch.
Perhaps the most significant contribution the Chevy Cruze Turbo Diesel brings to the table is its low emissions. The diesel car will generate at least 90 percent less Nitrogen Oxide and particulate emissions than previous diesel engines. Chevy implemented cutting-edge technology like exhaust gas recirculation and selective catalyst reduction to make the Turbo Diesel one of the most environmentally-conscious cars on the road.
When the 2014 Chevy Cruze Turbo Diesel reaches Chevy dealers this summer, it will join the 2014 Chevy Impala and full lineup of Chevy Cruze models available at Bill Jacobs Plainfield.

3 Big Stocks Getting Big Attention
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Today, we're leveraging the power of the crowd to take a look at five of the most active stocks on the market today.
Often, uber-active names have some sort of a technical or fundamental catalyst driving investors' attention on shares. That's especially true now that earnings season is officially underway. And when there's a big catalyst, there's often a trading opportunity.
Without further ado, heres a look at today's stocks.
BlackBerryNearest Resistance: $10
Nearest Support: $9
Catalyst: Third Point Position BlackBerry (BBRY) is suffering a high-volume hangover this afternoon, correcting from the rally shares got earlier this week that Daniel Loeb's Third Point hedge fund had acquired a 2% stake in the cellphone maker. Today's price action is a good indication that you don't want to own this stock, no matter the high-profile shareholders who own it beside you. That's because BBRY is currently forming a descending triangle pattern, a bearish setup that's formed by a downtrending resistance level to the upside and horizontal support below shares at $9. A move though $9 is the sell signal. Momentum broke in BBRY back in January. If buyers can't make a stand by holding shares above $9, the next-closest support level is $5.50.

Is the decline in cursive handwriting a bad thing? Yes, but not for the reason you think
With the introduction of devices in the classroom, fewer students are learning cursive handwriting. If you're wondering why that's a problem, read on.
"The best reason for keeping cursive? One I hadn't even thought of: It's near-impossible to read cursive if you can't write it. And, as master penman, Michael Sull told NBC Nightly News, 'There are so many children today who can't even read cursive writing, let alone write it. They'll never be able to read anything that was written in the 19th century. They won't be able to read the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, or anything written during the Civil War. They're missing an entire portion of our country's history.'"
we're getting a film for a book that was mentioned in a book and was then written into an actual book based on the book mentioned in a book

Total Weight: 2750 grams / 97.00 ounces
Total Flour Weight: 388 grams / 13.69 ounces
Bakers percentages are relative to flour weight (flour equals 100%) and every other ingredient is a percentage of this. Flour from the Starter is not counted. Note: This recipe was uploaded in grams and has been automatically converted to other measures, let us know of any corrections.
I start the preferemnet 24 hours before I want to make the dough. Make 601 grams of preferment at 175% hydration. The next day I add the flour and salt to the preferment. This is placed in a covered bowl and allowed to proof. When it has proofed long enough the dough is placed into the refridgerator to be used within a few days. The dough ball is placed in the middle of a 15" oiled cast iron frying pan. I just then start flattening the dough out to the edge and up the sides of the frying pan. I turn the oven on to 500°F when I start to make the pizza. The oven is ready when I get the pizza all made up and ready to cook.
The bottom of the pizza is lined with 1/2 pound of Mozzarella Cheese. The next layer is 1 pound of Italian Sausage. The 20 oz of pineapple is drained and the chunks are placed in between the sausage. The pizza sauce is poured all over the top so that it covers the pineapple and sausage. I chop up some fresh Rosemary and sprinkle it all over the top the amount isn't measured. Olive oil can be sprinkled over the top of this but is optional. When I take the pizza from the oven I sprinkle some Parmesan Cheese on the top of it. I cook the pizza for 45 minutes at 500°. One slice of the pizza is very filling. I think this is the best and easiest pizza I have ever made. You can use what ever your favorite pizza ingredients instead of what I used. I keep forgetting to add a little corn meal into the dough but you can use this dough as a starting point. The cast iron frying pan make this all really easy to do.
The crust is nice and crispy and not limp. You can pick up a slice and eat it. You might like to use a knife and fork as eating it by hand is a little bit messy.

Am I the first to be brave enough to comment on this?
OK, so someone is pulling my chain, right? I have just stumbled on this web site and was finding things very interesting until I chanced upon this three kilo monstrosity.
To describe this abomination as a pizza is a travesty. Could I take a guess that from the imperial amounts given, this is post is proof there is an American on planet Earth with a sense of humour, and that thisparticular joker is having a lend of us all? .
A pizza is a work of art; it is a delicacy put together with love and care. This on the other hand look like it was constructed with the aid of a cement mixer and a bricklayer's trowel.
Please take it down, there is no room for this on a serious site like this, What the hell!

Jawbone's 'Up' Activity Tracking Wristband Now Available, Companion App Released
Jawbone, the maker of premium Bluetooth accessories, has announced the release of the Up wristband and its companion iPhone app. The Jawbone Up wristband, which we first heard about in September, tracks your activities and uploads data to the companion app for viewing and analysis.
The Up band will track your movement, including steps taken and calories burned along with detailed sleep information via motion sensors. With the app, you can take pictures of your meals to journal your food intake. The app will also let you program the wristband to act as an alarm, vibrating to wake you up at a designated time.
If you'd like to see how Up works, Jawbone has several demo videos on its site here.
The Up band became available this week through Jawbone's site and at select retail stores including Apple, AT&T, Best Buy and Target. It retails for $99 while the app is available in the App Store for free. In case you're wondering, the app won't work by itself – it requests a connection to an Up wristband first (which is done via the iPhone's headphone jack) to function.

O.CT, an Austrian tuning specialized in German cars unveiled their latest masterpiece: an Audi S3 with 550 hp. Maybe you're wondering how this power was obtained, right? Well, according to the tuner, the Audi received a RS4 B5 2.7l biturbo engine modified in order to obtain the astonishing 550 hp.
The vehicle received major update like a completely new interior, simplified in order to loose some weight, an adjustable suspension system, improved brakes and new expanded fenders. Unfortunately we couldn't find anything about the performances of the vehicle but judging the improvements the sprint from 0-100 km/h could easily be made in less than 4 seconds.

@Coding Badly:
thx for taking the time to do some tests. But you have a complete other sketch. Please try to use my sketch on a 8mhz board like I did. For most beginners, my sketch is more easy to understend. Your sketch does in fact the same but your code is more difficult for most beginners. So if you conclude that your timings are good with your code, then why are my timings bad with my code?
Also thx for taking your time to check out my problem. I'll check out your topic and test your code asap.
INFO: I use a atmega328 board running on 8mhz and downloaded the last arduino 1.0 version.
EXTRA: I took the time to compile some other sketches with arduino 1.0 and they are all slower compared to the same sketch compiled with arduino 0022. I do use micros() to compare timings en also use a simple loopcounter. I think I'll stay with arduino 0022 for a while.

2010 was an amazing year, we had many accomplishments and uplifting experiences and a couple very sad notes, including saying good-bye to Frank, our WWII veteran and most popular Sheepdog, we still miss him. The entire town felt the loss of West Chester resident Sgt Louis Fastuca in Afghanistan.
The rallies in Jan and Feb were the coldest and windiest since we began in 2007. We held 2 fundraisers and raised $3000 for the Michael Horrocks statue at West Chester University. The Classic Car Owners and Patriotic bikers gave us another huge turnout in the summer. One of our most popular Blue Star Families, Mary and Mark Wilson, moved to Colorado. We got a mascot, Victor. Took part in welcoming home many of our American Heroes. Our table at the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference was very popular. We went to Freedom Concert in New Jersey, visited Fort Dix several times and went to New York City to take part in the "No Mosque at Ground Zero" rallies in June and September. We made many new friends, especially new Military Family Members and College Republicans from West Chester University. Found out that Bible Baptist Church in West Chester has the best Veterans Day tribute in the country. Mailed care packages to our troops for Christmas. Combined with the folks on the other side of the street to collect food for the Salvation Army. Shook hands and said thanks to many of our troops and their families at our rallies. We kept our string of consecutive Saturday pro-troop rallies alive.
2010 was our strongest year, we grew in attendence and character. Expectations for 2011 are high, we will continue grow and show public support, pride, and appreciation for our troops. Thanks to all of you for your support and commitment.
Have a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year, may our troops be successful in all they do, they are the best of us.
(will add more pictures later)

Topic - FS: Arc'teryx Nozone 35 Alpine Pack
der_kleine_lowe - on 11 Mar 2014 - user since 04/Feb/11
Price: Ł90
Arc'teryx Nozone 35 Alpine Pack – Titanium Grey.
Regular Size: 35L Capacity, Extends to 43L Capacity,
Weight 1000g, Stripped Weight 756g.
I've only used this pack for two days walking; it is in very good/close to new condition (photos on request).
Arc'teryx product description:
Designed for the traditional alpine approach. Minimalist alpine features include the ability to strip it down to bare essentials or load it up for bigger exploits. Super-light technical textiles are designed to withstand long-term abuse and the ultra light Arc'on™ laminated frame system brings a sure-footed ride.
The lightest weight, most comfortable alpine backs in the Arc'teryx line-up, Nozone backs use C2 (composite construction) suspension, a construction technology that uses fewer layers in a laminated back panel that is fused directly into the bag.
Nozone packs have removable aluminium stays – rigid and lightweight bars that provide additional structural support. These stays can be removed to reduce overall weight without compromising comfort.
A tough and tested traditional alpine specialist, the Nozone puts climbing first. Extendable collar and removable top lid accommodates extra gear and the opportunity to reduce weight.
P 'ax ice tool carry system is simple, efficient and can be fastened with one hand.

When: August 3, 2013
Shades: Cactus Flower
Earrings: NYC street vendor
Dress: Target
Bracelet: F21
Shoes: Sole Society
Where: Dinner at Scenic View
Why: One of our favorite local restaurants is perched on a hill overlooking Lake Monroe and the perfect place for brunch or a nice dinner outside. It's a short but beautiful country drive out of town to get there. Before our date, Adam and I found a spot on the shore to play around with our new camera and take outfit photos. I knew I wanted to get dressed up but feel casual at the same time, so I wore a simple dress and flats but with cute dangly earrings. Easy, breezy and simple date night outfit!

On Saturday, April 24th, 2010, the men's and women's rowing team spent time cleaning up Glen Island Park. Glen Island Park is the home outdoor practice facility for Iona College Rowing. The team has been practicing and racing there for many years and have made several memories since the organization began rowing out of the Castle at Glen Island in 1960.
Per tradition, the teams cleaned up the garbage around Glen Island. The men's and women's team collected many bags of garbage after participating in this year's clean up. This year however, the teams decided to make collecting the garbage a competition. Each team was given thirty minutes to collect as much garbage as they could, and then it was weighed at the end. This is a service project that the team partakes in annually to help keep its home course clean for spectators and members of the community as well as doing their part to keep the environment clean. The team enjoyed being active members in the community and as a result helped make a difference at Glen Island.

Ticket Brokers worse than Prostitutes?
As you may know, this blog is new. Every day I receive more visitors. My subscribers continue to climb!
I also continue to get more email. I would guess about 60% of our emails are from fans who think it is pretty cool that I am sharing simple strategies for buying tickets. Many of them have specific questions. Other just write to say "Thanks!"
About 20% of the emails are from Brokers. Angry Brokers. "Why are you telling people this stuff?" Or, "You are ruining our business!" All sorts of profanity and threats. I feel it is a whole lot of worrying about this little blog. More on that in coming days.
The last 20% are angry Fans. Very angry fans! Even more angry than the Brokers for some reason. The past few days included emails calling me a "parasite." And one even said my "kids should be taken away because Brokers are worse than Prostitutes."
Americans hate Ticket Brokers. In a country that has prospered like no other – it seems we do not believe that capitalism and free market principles should not apply to tickets. And while we understand that supply and demand impacts home prices, and the cost of gas or strawberries – tickets are different.
I am obviously biased, but I feel selling tickets for a loss or profit should not be taboo. And I believe it is hypocritical to believe selling tickets is any different than every other business in America.
My goal is to share my thoughts on the topic. Please feel free to leave your comments below.
America is a free market. In simple terms that means businesses decide what they will sell or produce, and consumers decide what they will buy. In free markets, sellers are free to price their products or services at any price they see as appropriate. In turn, consumers vote with their dollars, and can choose to buy something, or pass on a purchase. Fairly simple.
An apple farmer decides he would like to charge $1 per apple. They are his apples, and he can charge any amount he pleases. The consumer then has a decision. Pay $1 and receive an apple – or pass on the apple.
Tickets Brokers are no different. They set their prices at what they feel is appropriate – and Consumers have the freedom to buy or pass.
"But its not the same thing – the apple farmer is producing something tangible. Ticket Brokers just buy and resell."
That's true. So let's discuss the grocery store. The grocery store buys the apple for $1 and sells it for $2. Now the apple farmer makes his profit, and so does the grocery store. And the consumer pays more for the apple. Does this make the grocery store an Apple Broker? An Apple Scalper? Why don't we despise the grocery store for buying apples for no other reason than to resell them for profit?
I believe the reason we are okay with grocery stores is that we view them as a convenience. A very expensive convenience – but one we find acceptable. After all, what are the consequences? Milking our own cows, or baking our own bread?
Ticker Brokers provide a service and convenience for for many consumers. Here are the top few reason consumers may use a Ticket Broker:
- Consumers want tickets for a show that sold out quickly
- Consumers did not know the show was on sale until it was too late
- Consumers forgot the tickets were on sale
- Consumer has a job or other obligations that conflicted with the tickets going on sale
- Consumer could not afford to buy tickest when they went on sale
- Consumer just moved to town and now would like to attend an event
- Consumer would like a large group or additional tickets
- Consumer need better quality tickets to entertain a client
Ticket Brokers provide liquidity in the market. Without them many fans would not be able to attend an event.
Let's say you move to town and want to see a concert that has been sold out. Or, you bought 4 tickets because that was the limit for a show through Ticketmaster, and you have a family of 5. If Ticket Brokers did not exist and it were illegal to sell tickets above face value, where would you turn for help?
No where. Because the only people who would have tickets would be fans. And why would fans give up their tickets at face value? So other fans can take their place?
That is the beauty of a free market. Consumers can choose how much they value something. Sellers charge what they want – and Buyers decide if they value the product as much as the seller.
As an interesting side note – this works the opposite way with tickets as well. Brokers buy tickets for a sports team, then the teams does poorly, then the Broker drops the price below face value. The consumer does not pay face value just because that is what they originally cost – the consumer pays what they are worth at the time of purchase (in this case less than face value.)
Still not convinced? If you own a business, or work for a business, you subscribe to free market business practices and are no different than a Ticket Broker. Think about it. Every business sets out daily to produce a product or provide a service and sell it for more than it costs to produce or provide. It does not matter what your job is – if it is a company, then you are selling something for more than face value. Are you a parasite? Of course not!
What about selling land, or you house, or car, or a autographed baseball card? If you have ever bought something and resold it for a profit (or loss) then you participated in a free market.
There is a reason almost every state makes it legal to buy and sell tickets for a profit. It's because to make it illegal is hypocritical.
Can you imagine the government telling you that you can't sell your home for more than you bought it? Or telling you that you can't sell your car or less than you bought it? What if you could only buy and sell items (including stock in your 401K, your home, etc) for exactly face value?
In my opinion – its one way or the other. We either price fix everything, or we price fix nothing.
What do you think?

What are Net Carbs?
When you follow the Atkins Diet, aka the Atkins Nutrition Approach, you actually count grams of Net Carbs, which represent the total carbohydrate content of the food minus the fiber content and sugar alcohols (if in the product). The Net Carbs number reflects the grams of carbohydrate that significantly impact your blood sugar level and therefore are the only carbs you need to count when you do Atkins. Foods that are low in Net Carbs such as nutrient-dense vegetables and fruits don't have a significant impact on blood sugar and therefore are less likely to interfere with weight loss.
You can calculate the approximate number of Net Carb grams of a low-carb product yourself by looking at the information provided on a food label:
Total Carbohydrates
- Dietary Fiber
- Sugar alcohol
= Net carbs
For foods that don't have a label, like fruits and vegetables, you can use the Atkins Carb Counter, and the calculation is:
Total Carbohydrates
- Dietary Fiber
- Sugar alcohol
= Net carbs
Atkins science allows us to calculate Net Carbs in our products more accurately. In the case of Atkins bars, shakes and other products, the glycemic (blood sugar) impact has been directly tested on volunteers, and the Net Carb count reflects the glycemic load test results. So you can rely on the accuracy of the stated Net Carb count.

InfoEd Grants Management Software System to Become Mandatory for Proposal Preparation and Internal Approval Routing Beginning September 1, 2014
06/10/2014 · Comments Off
In December, 2013, the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) implemented grants management system, InfoEd, for use by faculty and staff in managing grant activities. A major function of InfoEd is to provide an electronic portal where UNR faculty and staff can prepare and route grant proposals for internal approvals. Since December 2013, over 400 UNR faculty and staff members have received training on preparing and routing grant proposals in InfoEd.
Beginning September 1, 2014, all UNR grant proposals must be prepared in InfoEd and routed for internal approvals in InfoEd. If you are a UNR faculty or staff member who prepares grant proposals, a UNR chair, director, dean or vice president who approves grant proposals or a department administrator who needs access to grant-related information, it is important that you receive appropriate InfoEd training.

Tips for Travel on Sponsored Projects
12/31/2012 · Comments Off
- Travelers must have effort or have some other direct connection (e.g., project participant) to the projects that are paying for their travel.
- Principle Investigators (PIs) must obtain prior approval for travel from the sponsoring agency if required. Documentation of the prior approval should be maintained in the PIs records for up to 6 years after the end date of the award in the event that such documentation is needed for an audit.
- PIs must ensure that all foreign airfare that will be charged to an award funded by the federal government (UNR account that starts with 1320) is compliant with the Fly America requirements. For more information about this topic view the Fly America tutorial at http://www.unr.edu/ospa/video.html.
- If you are travelling outside of the U.S., make sure that all equipment or other technology you take is allowable under the export control regulations.

Yeah, MR. Jordan, we're all starting to have this look when watching the Bobcats play. It's the fourth game in five nights. The legs turn to jelly early. The arms are already stiff and heavy. The shots you are certain are money are clanking off the front of the rim. This is the gift given to the Charlotte Bobcats by the NBA. The bow on top of that gift is that we're playing a team for the second time in four days. They know us inside and out. Or do they? We didn't exactly reveal the inner pages of Coach Dunlap's Super-Secret NBA Play Book. In fact, does anyone know if Coach Dunlap even has a Super-Secret… never mind. Some questions are best unasked. The Pacers are just as tired as the Cats, coming off a loss against New Jersey. My partner Andrew thinks the Fatigued Felines are a good bet for the win tonight. I think this should be a sloppy, staggering, mess of a game. Those are my favorites because whichever team manages to find a little more desire and will to win usually ...

New Stage Scoring Table Feedback and Wish List
Overall I like the new game design. I just saw the scoring tables and I was a little disappointed that the scoring changed. I kind of liked the straight forward point system at the end of a race, from 20 to 1 points for the stage results. It had a feeling of being 'fair'. Any chance you might consider going back to the old system? Or go 'down'on the points awarded to a max of 25 for the first rider in?
By the way:
1. What does 'Points TBC' mean?
2. Out of curiousity, is the new scoring for the TDU reflective of the actual points in the real race? Is that the way points are awarded during the real race?
3. I wish we could have just 4 domestiques, instead of 5.
4. FOR THREE WEEK RACES: I actually miss the limits based on rider type. I woudn't mind if you could only choose ONE sprinter a day and ONE GC guy a day.
I'll wait and see how it pans out, but I just wanted to get this off my chest. Thanks, though, it's a beautiful design and a fun game!
dave_atkinson wrote:for discussion: what would people think of a set number of transfers for a tour?
What I'd like to see is having up to 4 transfers available a day, every day. No more for rest days. Just 4 every day. No transferring or banking of transfers. Just up to 4 transfers a day. No option to buy more.
I think it's true that:drheaton wrote:You'd end up with clumps of transfers when the terrain changed and everyone having a team that works
But so what?... It would make for fierce competition every day and the margins of victory would be minimal. I'd love it!
Clumps of transfers wouldn't be the end of the world and yes, everyone being able to have their 'ideal' team might produce closer fantasy scores but the differences in teams are as a result of good planning and team management which sets apart the good players.
I also think 4 transfers a day is too much, it'd allow you to change your team every day to suit the day, in itself that's no bad thing but as above, having to adapt and plan for varying terrain is part of the challenge with two transfers. Only being able to transfer in two of the sprinters instead of four for flat days is also a challenge as it makes you choose who you want. Four transfers a day would still force choices but none as difficult as before. I think it would make the game too easy.
I also think:orli wrote:It'd be fun if the game awarded points exactly as the races do!
that way we could cut down on the crazy amount of points a breakaway rider can get, as the good doctor points out.
I'd also get rid of the disticnction between Star Riders and Domestiques. Their value should be enough to prevent you from stacking your team.
Sorry, buts that's just wrong breakaway points wouldn't reduce, for many stages they'd actually increase, fantasy points for intermediate sprints and HC climbs are lower than the real points, the only change would be to 3rd and 4th category mountain points. I agree that I think 5pts for being 1st over a cat 4 is high but I guess it keeps flat stages interesting...
One option may be to vary finish line points like the TdF does for medium mountain stages, reducing the green jersey points from 35 to 20 for 1st place (fantasy wise, still score down to 1 for 20th). That may curb breakaway points where they stay away but also reduce the points on offer should they be caught.
Removing rider classes or limits on stars is interesting and orli does have a point that rider values and tight budgets alone should keep teams relatively balanced, it may be worth considering.
One thing I would like is extra info on the rider pages, when my dad signed up he asked how he could tell whether a DS was a climber or a sprinter, I told him to google it but it'd be useful if on each rider page you could see how they've gotten their points broken down into 'finish line', 'intermediate sprint' and 'KoM' or something like that.
agree in part with what you say regarding transfer budgets/rider classes
at one point in the tour i wanted to bring casar in effectively for rogers, casar is more expensive than rogers yet due to the fact that rogers is a star but casar is not, i had to make two chnages just to make the one. I think in that respect it is unfair, if you are having the split, anyone that is cheap enough to be less than a DS shouldnt be a star anyway in my opinion, or vice versa if they are expensive enough to be more expensive than some stars, then they should be star.
however with the prices the way they are now (if they continue to overlap), rather than scrapping the distinction altogther, maybe flexi spots would be better, so maybe you have to have 3 stars, and 4 DS's but then you get 2 spots where the rider can be either a star or a DS
I quite like the way everything is at the moment. I am playing the Halfords and the RCUK fantasy games. I think the roadcc one is superior to both.
I think if you were given 40 transfers at once, it would make things more complicated. That's in tune with the 2 previous games I mention.
I think it's a good discipline to only get 2 transfers per night and I like the way that they rollover to 4 if you don't use them.
The only change I would like to see is I think you should get more than 10 points for most combative rider. Didn't it used to be 40?
Agree with the last couple of posts (except the combative rider thing - surely ten is plenty?) - its a great game, its given me hours of fun throughout the year, so no need for major changes, although less star riders and the flexi-spot option might work.
Only thing I would change is what happens if you win anything - maybe I'm sad but I was genuinely excited and pleased when I won a stage (not in a grand tour) - that was then tempered by the fact that nothing happened. I think I've said this before but it might be a nice touch to get an email saying "Well done, you won a stage" - or even just a forum thread where the stage winner is announced each day - I dunno it was just a bit of an anti-climax thats all.
Maybe if premium continues next year then there might be a budget for small prizes for winning each tour? You give away a pair of socks every day on Facebook just for clicking LIKE, but when I won TdS after nine days of, well, nine days of pure luck admittedly, I didn't even get that!
don't worry, we'll see you right for winning the TdS. jus got our heads full of the tour right now. that and we're in frankfurt looking at the shiny trek bikes
the problem with automating the winner's emails is that the results often change, sometimes because people get moved about but mostly because of what I think is termed 'operator error'. so we'd be sending them out to all sorts of people. a forum thread is a good idea though
Agreed, I think 10 points for most combative is plenty when you take it in the context of the 15 on offer for the intermediate sprint and sometimes 40+ KoM points on offer, not to mention finish line points if the break stays away.
Flexibility is always good but the games come a long way since even last year where you were restricted to a GC guy, a climber, a sprinter and an all rounder plus 5 DSs. I think rider values are well thought out enough for them to be the only balancing factor for teams (ie scrap the 4/5 split and let us pick freely limited only by what we can afford) but the game as it is works well.
Sorry to say this for a third time but I really really want to be able to have a purist team and a regular team under one account then we can put to bed the issue of multiple accounts (one account per user and anyone not abiding by the rules should be expelled). Rant over . I agree with the comment that budget alone should be enough to limit team selection and that any DS should not cost more than a star rider. Perhaps just tweak the rider values for next season. Last of all I like the idea of a forum thread to announce the winner of any stages/prizes. I felt a little underwhelmed having won a stage and hearing nothing. Its nice to be famous for five minutes and have your name in lighs even if its only an announcement on the forum. As ever great game and love playing it. Thanks Dave and team.
Posting here because it relates to 'wish list':
In light of the fantastic women's Olympic road race and various twitter comments about how exciting woman's road cycling is and how deserves wider coverage how possible/easy would it be to introduce a few woman's races into next years game?
I'd like to see this too but perfectly understand why they aren't featured at the minute. The effort of adding a full extra field of riders, separate to the current rider list, and obtaining information on smaller profile races is dispraportional to the benefit.
We've all seen how difficult it is to get decent information on some of the races just below the top tier (Tour de Suisse, Tour de Pologne, Vuelta y Catalunya etc) and Women's races are generally lower profile than these other than the Giro Donne (and even that's hard to get reliable info for).
I'm sure Dave et al would love to add some Women's races in but I think it's just too much of a hassle.
how easy would it be? not easy at all, really. an entirely separate roster and a bunch of new competitions. plus like drheaton says, i'm not sure if we'd get the info we needed in a timely manner.
The only one's that you can just about rely on getting information on are the one day races, Gent–Wevelgem for instance, BUT, all you'll get at finish line results, you are not going to get breaks and intermediate climbs or anything like that.
Until broadcasters get a deal like they do the men, woman's racing is always going to be left behind........in the kitchen
Understandable that even if possible from programming point of view practicalities make it unfeasible. Cheers.
The info for the Giro Donne was pretty decent on cycling news after each stage (albeit a fews hours after). And like Gkam said Gent-Wevelgem was decent but again only with regards to the finish positions.
Cycling fever normally have decent results on afterwards too, due to the fact its a dutch website and the number of womens teams that are dutch.
The other factor is regardless of the info, would enough people know enough about womens cycling to be interested in actually doing a team? in order to make it worth while, i doubt it.
it's basically a similar amount of work for a a fraction of the return, so right now it isn't really feasible. that's not to say it won't ever be.
Lovin the game but have a request...
As a purist can there not be a seperate league for Premium players and those playing 'normal'? It's a bit galling being overtaken by people on tours you are not competing in!
What does anyone else think about this?
TdF is due to open on the 17th
...On the page:
I'd like to see the rider values - and their 'TYPE' - PC, KM, GC, etc - on the page at first glance instead of having to click on each rider to see their value, Thanks!
Dave, I expect a barrage of criticism for asking, but, since I cut and paste a lot, this page works better for me to check out against start lists than the 'Rankings' page.
The reason for that is that, with the new buttons, if you wanted to copy only the riders in the çurrent competition, when you paste it elsewhere ALL (!) the riders in the game get pasted. I guess it's because the buttons 'hide' riders from the view rather than 'remove' them from the whole list.
Would you consider adding a column to this page (http://fantasy.road.cc/riders) for current rider values? I know, it's a prety self-centered, egotistical request, but (!), it doesn't hurt to ask, does it? Thanks!

I totally think this would be grand

... How about the opposite? You get two [transfers] a day, like we do now, but you can bank them forever and use them whenever you want? You can only accumulate them, not borrow. You just don't lose them, which is what I hate, especially after rest days... That'll force a little bit of planning ahead...

Yeah, but it would be awesome if I could show only SKY riders and sort those by ex. ITT score etc., like the show only riders "under 5" in cost..just with teams instead..does this make sense, my english grammar seems to have gone from ok to very bad in 6 hours..

You're right. that would be useful.

Its a marathon, not a snickers
Dave, I didn't know where to put this, so ...
I think I remember you putting out a list of the riders that had scored the most points from a breakaway, am I right? Or is my brain befuddled? Although I may be right and (!) my brain is befuddled, anyways! Anyways, is that a list you could put out again? Or is there a way to search for that in the metrics you guys already provide? ... Thanks!

...On the page http://fantasy.road.cc/riders
Dave, I still like this page a lot. You can see all the riders in the competition on one page, and, since I cut and paste a lot, this page works better for me to check out against start lists than the 'Rankings' page.
The reason is that in the current 'Rankings' page you can't copy only the riders in the çurrent competition. When you try to copy just the riders from the current competition it pastes all the riders in the game. Which is well over 2,000 riders.
Would you consider adding a column to this page (http://fantasy.road.cc/riders) for current rider values? Thanks!

205 East Harcourt Road Angola, IN
(260) 665-5767
Dr. Moore grew up in Ossian, a small town south of Fort Wayne, Indiana. After graduating from Norwell High School in 1987, he attended Indiana University at Bloomington for his Bachelors of Science in Biology. He moved to Indianapolis where he graduated from Indiana University School of Dentistry in 1995.
Since then, Dr. Moore has practiced dentistry in Indiana. As a child, Dr. Moore spent his summers on the beautiful lakes surrounding Angola and fondness for the area inspired him to own the Angola Dental Center. Now, he is committed to offering the community and the tri-state area the most comprehensive dental care available. Those who know Dr. Moore say, "he absolutely loves what he does" and this is evident by the constant energy he brings directly to his office and to his patients.
Beyond general dentistry, Dr. Moore provides the highest standard of treatment in oral surgery and full mouth reconstruction, advanced cosmetic procedures, endodontics, and denture fabrication. He is constantly upgrading his education to keep an edge in clinical advancements, new techniques, products, and treatment options to better serve his patients.
Seldom does a situation arise where Dr. Moore has to refer his patients to another office for specialized care. This eliminates the inconvenience of patients having to go from office to office, incurring extreme expenses, to complete their dental treatment.
Dr. Moore believes excellence in dentistry lies in his relationships with his patients. Only after listening to his patient's goals and concerns does he attempt to address their dental needs. When planning care, he includes each patient as an active partner in the decision-making process to ensure that the outcome exceeds every expectation.
Dr. Moore is a member of numerous prestigious dental associations, including:
