text: Prayer is a personal priority for many of us and we could not go on without it. Here are a number of ways that Chapelwood makes prayer a priority: o We host two on-site prayer rooms where people pray.o We provide an online prayer Web site Where thousands of prayer requests have been submitted and prayed for by intercessors.o Prayer groups regularly pray for the church, community and world.o Dozens of folks knit prayer shawls that are given to persons in crisis. o Each November, we highlight prayer and God's invitation that we be people of prayer. This year, the Stewardship of Prayer emphasis will provide opportunities for practical, hands-on praying. We're providing ways for you to experience prayer and to explore some areas of prayer you may not have explored previously. In all three Sanctuary services (8:25, 9:45, 11:10 a.m.) on November 2, 9 and 16, we will introduce a different form of prayer during the pastoral prayer time. Each Sunday, the prayer will be experiential and participatory . . . that is, there won't be someone praying for us as much as leading all of us into an experience of prayer. Additionally, on those same three Sundays, you will have the opportunity to experience different forms of prayer: o November 2, from 9:30 – 10:00 a.m., 10:45 – 11:15 a.m. and 12:15 – 12:45 p.m., in the Fellowship Hall, you may pray for others at various prayer stations. Each station will focus on intercessory prayer for a different concern – families, schools and students, the sick, church leaders, community concerns, global concerns and so on. Leaders will give guidance at each station.o November 9, from 9:30 - 10:00 a.m., 10:45 - 11:15 a.m. and 12:15 - 12:45 p.m., in the Chapel, you may come to experience listening prayer of a more contemplative form known as centering prayer. Leaders will give a brief introduction to the prayer.o November 16, in the Fellowship Hall, you may experience a more physical form of prayer by walking and praying with a labyrinth. The labyrinth will be open from 9:30 a.m. - 12:45 p.m., with persons available to answer questions from 9:30 – 10:00 a.m., 10:45 – 11:15 a.m. and 12:15 – 12:45 p.m. Labyrinths were used in European cathedrals of the Middle Ages when persons could no longer make pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Churches encouraged persons to walk and pray on the labyrinth as a symbol of the spiritual journey and the pilgrimage of faith we are invited to make with God.We hope you will take advantage of these three Sundays to stretch your prayer life. We are all invited to pray, to know God more deeply through prayer.

Joint effort helps immunize students
The Sioux Center and Hull Medical Clinics have partnered with Community Health Partners to ensure more students receive their immunizations.
Each year, local student athletes undergo an athletic physical. Clinic physicians and nurse practitioners visit area schools to conduct these athletic physicals. Because of the large number of students that come through for physicals, Medical Clinic staff and Community Health Partners decided this would be a great time to catch students up on their recommended immunizations.
These area schools include Sioux Center Community Schools, Boyden-Hull, Hull Christian, and Western Christian. The three recommended immunizations given were the TDAP (tetnus/diphtheria/acellular pertussis), MCV4 (meningococcal), and Varicella (chickenpox).
"Quite often these vaccines are missed because kids between grades 6 and 12 don't routinely visit the clinic for well child exams," said Sarah Te Grotenhuis, RN, nurse manager at the Sioux Center Medical Clinic. "Offering vaccines during the athletic physical ensures that more students receive these important immunizations."
With the goal of increasing these recommended immunizations in this patient population, Sioux Center Medical Clinic staff set about determining ways in which they could make it convenient for the student and their parents. The athletic physical sessions came to mind as just the right opportunity to accomplish both for the student and the parents.
The Sioux Center Medical Clinic and Community Health Partners have worked collaboratively before to offer vaccinations to students of local school districts. Sioux Center Medical Clinic provides the vaccinations for students with health insurance coverage and Community Health Partners provides vaccinations for those individuals without adequate health insurance. Thus all students have the opportunity to update their vaccinations in a timely and convenient manner.
The Iowa Department of Public Health has expressed interest in the joint efforts of the two health organizations.
"We are pleased by the interest of the state in our efforts," Sarah stated. "We feel that combining our efforts is in the best interest of everyone. In this case, adding immunizations to athletic physicals required a lot of additional preparation, and sharing the work load was essential. This joint effort means that students receive the health care that they need at a time that is very convenient."

Found January 30, 2013 on The Daily Stache:
PLAYERS: John Sickels, Wilmer Flores, David Wright, Ike Davis, Daniel Murphy, Zack Wheeler
TEAMS: New York Mets
TEAMS: New York Mets
Flores has always made contact well, but he's gradually improved his feel for the strike zone and began maturing into his power last year. Although scouts still wonder exactly how many home runs he'll hit, there's no question that he's made real progress. That's what baseball prospect expert John Sickels had to say about Mets "third baseman" Wilmer Flores this morning. Sickels gives Flores a B+ grade heading into the 2013 season, and last week Jonathan Mayo at MLB.com rated Flores as the ninth best prospect at the third base position. The problem with Flores is that the Mets just signed David Wright to a huge contract, so calling the 21-year-old a third baseman just doesn't make sense anymore. We already know that Flores isn't quick enough to play shortstop, but Sickels says that he "performed adequately" at both second and third last season. Second base would make a lot more sense given the long-term viability of Wright and Ike Davis at the infield corners. New York's current second baseman Daniel Murphy is much more expendable as evidenced by the bountiful trade rumors involving him last season. The ideal situation would be for Flores to play in the outfield, where the Mets are in dire straights. However, according to Sickels, Flores doesn't run well enough to make the outfield an attractive position for him. It would be wise for the Mets this season to find out for sure if Flores cannot play the outfield, because other than that, second base is his only realistic option for him barring a trade of Ike Davis. It will be interesting to see how the Mets handle Flores throughout the season. Meanwhile, three prospects that the Mets acquired over the past two years received high accolades from MLB.com last night. Travis d'Arnaud, Zack Wheeler, and Noah Syndergaard all landed on the website's top 100 prospects list, with d'Arnaud and Wheeler getting in the top 10. With both of those players expected to make their major league debuts this season, it is a very exciting time for the future of the team, if not the present. The post Mets prospect news: Flores improving, but where does he fit in? appeared first on The Daily Stache.

text: content LE Magazine December 2003 The Crumbling Walls of Medical Ignorance William Faloon A rebellion is taking place within the citadels of establishment medicine, as leading physicians and scientists come to the realization that doctors are failing to translate research discoveries into lifesaving therapies. An article published in the New England Journal of Medicine1 exposes how doctors overlook proven methods of preventing and treating disease. The author, Claude Lenfant, M.D., is director of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. This huge government agency funds numerous clinical studies aimed at finding better ways to treat cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. While Dr. Lenfant acknowledges that gains have been made in disease prevention and treatment, he is highly critical of doctors who fail to incorporate the latest findings in their everyday practice. Dr. Lenfant questions whether Americans have enjoyed the maximal return on the more than $250 billion of medical research the National Institutes of Health has funded since 1950. He points out that life expectancy in the U.S. lags behind that of 22 other countries and attributes this to doctors and their patients "not applying what we know." Indeed, Dr. Lenfant notes that growing numbers of experts are becoming aware that research findings are not being translated into medical practice or lifestyle changes. The New England Journal of Medicine is one of the world's most prestigious scientific publications. It is considered a bastion of the medical establishment. The fact that the New England Journal of Medicine published this meticulous article about the failings of conventional medicine provides further evidence that today's health care is in urgent need of reform. Failure to Treat Acute Heart AttackSudden-death heart attack most often occurs when a coronary artery is blocked by a blood clot, or when a piece of unstable atherosclerotic plaque ruptures to obstruct coronary artery blood flow. In the 1980s, drugs became available to dissolve a coronary artery clot, but emergency room doctors were slow to catch on, and many heart attack victims needlessly died. As reported in Life Extension's new Disease Prevention and Treatment book, current research reveals that emergency coronary angioplasty is more effective than clot-busting drugs in saving heart attack patients' lives. One reason for this may be that the angioplasty procedure enables coronary arteries to be re-opened whether they are blocked by a blood clot or a ruptured piece of atherosclerotic plaque. Clot-busting drugs (fibrinolytics), on the other hand, are only effective in opening coronary arteries occluded by blood clots. In his New England Journal of Medicine article, Dr. Lenfant cites shocking data that in the last quarter of 2002, nearly 33% of all patients nationwide who presented with an acute heart attack at a hospital emergency room received neither angioplasty nor clot-busting therapies.2 In other words, about one-third of emergency room doctors watched heart attack patients suffer and die while proven therapies available to save their lives went unused! This failure to translate research findings into clinical practice is therefore not an issue of a lack of fine-tuning medical abilities, but much more importantly a growing cause of patient morbidity and mortality. In today's world Landmark Advances IGNOREDThese advances shown to save human lives are grossly underutilized, resulting in needless deaths. 1. Use of beta-blockers to prevent second heart attacks.2. Screening for hypercholesterolemia and properly treating with cholesterol-lowering drugs after heart attack.3. Failure to use aspirin in patients at high risk for coronary artery disease before and after heart attack. Ignoring Proven Scientific FindingsTo document his assertion that doctors are not keeping up with proven research findings, Dr. Lenfant points out three startling gaps between the time when medical discoveries were made and their implementation into clinical practice. Dr. Lenfant's first example of this time lag is the delay in recognizing the value of beta-blocker drugs. This class of drug was conclusively established to save the lives of recovering heart attack patients in 1981.3 Yet by 1996, beta-blockers were being prescribed to only 62.5% of eligible patients, 15 years after their efficacy was proven.4 The Life Extension Foundation long ago cited the FDA's failure to approve beta-blockers as causing millions of needless American deaths. While Europeans were benefiting from beta-blockers in 1965, the FDA did not approve beta-blockers for the treatment of hypertension and angina until 1978.5-6 In his article, Dr. Lenfant reveals that 37.5% of patients were not benefiting from beta-blocker drugs as late as 1996 (31 years after they were first approved in Europe). Dr. Lenfant's second example of doctor-ignored research is a study showing that only 50-75% of heart attack patients are screened for high cholesterol levels (hypercholesterolemia), let alone prescribed proper cholesterol-lowering medications.7 We at Life Extension hear this all the time from new members who survived their first heart attack. In other words, after emergency treatment in the hospital, little effort is made to identify and correct the underlying reasons that caused the heart attack to occur in the first place. "Given the ever-growing sophistication of our scientific knowledge and the additional new discoveries that are likely in the future, many of us harbor an uneasy, but quite realistic suspicion that this gap between what we know about diseases and what we do to prevent and treat them will become ever wider. And it is not just recent research results that are not finding their way into clinical practice and public health behaviors; there is plenty of evidence that 'old' research outcomes have been lost in translation as well." —Claude Lenfant, M.D."Clinical Research To Clinical Practice–Lost In Translation?"New England Journal of Medicine, August 28, 2003 Dr. Lenfant's third example of doctor neglect is the failure to use aspirin as a cardiovascular drug. Overwhelming evidence demonstrates that aspirin is highly effective as a short-term therapy for acute heart attack and as a preventive therapy in those with cardiovascular disease.8 Despite these findings, Dr. Lenfant cites two large studies showing that as late as 2000, aspirin was prescribed to only 33% of patients with coronary artery disease.9 It was in 1983 that the Life Extension Foundation recommended low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks.10 Not only did the medical profession soundly reject this recommendation, but the FDA initiated draconian actions to make sure the public was not informed about aspirin's cardiovascular benefits. Dr. Lenfant states that these three simple examples "show that we have a problem in getting providers (doctors) to apply knowledge gained through research." Overlooking the ObviousObesity has become an epidemic that threatens to undo decades of progress in reducing coronary heart disease incidence. Despite widespread publicity, Dr. Lenfant describes a 1999 study in which only 42% of 12,835 obese adults were advised by their physicians to lose weight.11 While out-of-hospital coronary heart-disease deaths have declined in people aged 35 to 64,12-15 the elderly are suffering epidemic levels of stroke16-21 and heart disease.22-25 The aging process and obesity inflict many pathological changes that increase the odds of suffering a cardiovascular event. Now, those over age 70 are suffering the brunt of heart and vascular-related disorders. Conventional doctors, however, are overlooking proven methods to reduce cardiovascular disease incidence in this population. Some simple ways of cutting heart attack and stroke incidence in the elderly involve testing their blood for C-reactive protein, homocysteine, fibrinogen, etc., and taking steps to reduce these levels if they are elevated. In another example of physician neglect, a 1999 study of 9,299 people reported that only 34% had been counseled about exercise during regular visits to their physician.26 Doctors Are Not Solely to BlameWhile it is easy to point to physician shortcomings, patients who fail to assume responsibility for their health are also the cause of research findings not being optimally utilized to save lives. Dr. Lenfant points to a study of coronary artery disease patients who were all prescribed aspirin by their doctors. A follow-up questionnaire showed that only 60% of these patients took their prescribed daily aspirin in 1995, though this number increased to 80% by 1999.27 Controlling hypertension is one of the best-proven disease- prevention strategies, yet Dr. Lenfant points to studies showing that rates of blood-pressure control in hypertensive patients are shockingly poor. One study found that 47% of patients failed to take their antihypertensive medications as prescribed.28 Compounding this problem are doctors who do not prescribe the best anti-hypertensive therapies. For example, Gerald Reaven, Professor Emeritus (Active) of Medicine at Stanford University, states that it is vital that every healthy-heart program address the hypertension/SyndromeX association or little success in shielding hypertensive patients from heart attack can be expected.29 The results of inappropriate prescribing and patient irresponsibility are enormous numbers of needless strokes and other hypertension-related illnesses.

I take food seriously.
As an organic producer of milk, meat and other food products, I often forget that most Americans just don't share that seriousness. Whether I'm milking cows, separating cream from skim or making cheese, a hands-on relationship with food seems natural to me, even mundane. Other times, I'm overwhelmed with pride in the work and gratitude for the connections it fosters between the land, food, customers and me.
Customers visit the farm because they enjoy the milk and cheese and because they want to meet me. They want to see the animals and landscape that come together in their food.
I take this connection seriously—because it's how I make a living, and because it's part of who I am. I am, among other things, a person who feeds people.
So when Professor Emerita of Library Science Janet Lu invited me (and everyone at Nebraska Wesleyan) to her 12th annual Chinese New Year dinner, I was interested not just because I like Chinese food. Lu's dinner was about sharing her culture through food. She obviously took her food as seriously as I do. And I was in.

With one small detail still in need of being cleared up: the prizes.
While I can provide a certain amount myself I feel it's not even remotely enough to reward any of you for your without doubt great work. Thus I would be extremely happy if some of you could offer points, memberships, dA-goodies, art prizes, features or anything else you believe might make a good contest prize. <3
Donators DO have permission to enter the contest as well, so no need to worry about that and all of you will of course be mentioned with your username in the prize list.
I am also still in need of four judges so if you feel you would do well at this job please send me a note. Include the reason why you would like to be a judge and why you would be apt to be objective. I value objectiveness in judges above all so make sure to convince me.
I will only pick FOUR people, so please don't be disappointed if you will not be one of them.
Judges are obviously NOT allowed to enter the contest!!
A big thank you already in advance to everybody who will be able to help!

DreamWorksTV Hits YouTube With Shrek the Ogre 'Vlogger'
Other web series will include Puss in Boots, Kung Fu Panda and quite a few original newcomers, too.
Shrek is a 2001 computer-animated American comedy film, directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson, and starring the voices of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow. Based on William Steig's 1990 fairy tale picture book Shrek!, the film was produced by DreamWorks Animation. Shrek was the first film to win an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, a category introduced in 2001. It was released on VHS and DVD on November 2, 2001.
Other web series will include Puss in Boots, Kung Fu Panda and quite a few original newcomers, too.
Walt Disney once said, "Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive." For Disney, this was animation's magic -- its power to bring imagination to life. Disney died in 1966, 11 years before computer animation's heralded debut in Star Wars, and he likely never imagined how life-like animation would become, or how pervasively it would be used in Hollywood.
iStoryTime and DreamWorks Animation have teamed up to bring a children's storybook [iTunes link] based on the final film in the Shrek series, Shrek Forever After, which opens in theaters today. As we've discussed before, the iPhone and the iPad can both make fantastic digital storybooks for parents and their kids. The touch interface allows kids to skip ahead and interact with content on each "page" and the story can either be read aloud by a narrator or kids can read it themselves.
Ken Davenport is a Broadway and Off-Broadway producer and the founder of the social networking website, BroadwaySpace.com. He is the author of TheProducersPerspective.com, a blog about producing theater, and was featured in an iPhone commercial. Broadway is one of the biggest businesses in New York City, with almost a billion dollars in sales reported for this past season alone.

In the form of a colorful, talking kiosk and with a computer database to rival most ATMs, the game of keno has entered the digital age.
"We're still using the crayons and paper tickets, but now we also have a great technological option," said Mike Nevrivy, owner of Hastings Keno Inc. and one of the pioneers of the "E-Z Keno" electronic kiosk that premiered at HK Sports Bar & Grill Friday.
The digital version of the game is what Nevrivy calls an "upgrade, not a replacement," of the keno game that has been in Nebraska sports bars and restaurants since 1991. HK Sports Bar & Grill, 1216 W. J St., is the first restaurant in the state to offer an electronic keno game.

"Dad!" I shoot a glare at my now very annoying father as he shooed me and Mikey into the livingroom.
"Sit." He demanded, "Apart." We shuffled down to different ends of the couch. "So Michel do you mind if I ask you some questions... good.
"So tell me Michel, any criminal record?" Mikey coughed awkwardly and responded with a crackly voice.
"Em no, well apart from that time..." I kicked Mikeys foot,
"No I mean no I don't." He answered quickly.
"Drugs? I don't want my lovely Eva getting involved in drugs." I cupped my face into my hands. "No sir, no drugs." Mikey replyed again very awkwardly.
"And how are you grades at school Michel?" I shook my head in embarassement.
"I get good grades but I'm failing P.E." I let out a small giggle.
"Dad are yu finished quizing my boyfriend, it's getting late?" My dad let out a sigh.
"Right go where ever you are going but Michel I am not finished with you, and if you bring my daugher back in any other condition than what she is in now I will hold you responsible!" Mikey gulped.
I grabbed his hand and dragged him out the door and slammed the door hard.
"Mikey I'm sorry it's just he's my dad. He's lost my mum he doesn't want to lose me or my sister." He pulled me into his arms.
"Oh Eva it's ok you dad just doesn't want you to get hurt." I smiled.
"Mikey it's getting late do you just want to go on a walk instead?"
"Yeah fine by me!" Mikey grabbed my hand again and we began walking futher and futher.
"Mikey?" I looked up into his eyes.
"Yeah whats up?"
"What's love? I've been trying to figure what love is and how to know you are, well in it." He gave a slight smile.
"Well love to me is something or someone who you can be totally happy with but be yourself. You don't have to pretend or be different around them because they accept who you are, but you know that you are truely in love if you can look deep into someones eyes and see more than just beauty, you see feeling, passion and most of all the person you want to be with and not the person who you think you want to be with. I know when I'm in love because it's when I'm with you I feel all these and more. Eva I'm in love with you and there's know way I can get away from it." I looked up into his eyes again.
I seen the beauty but I also seen the pasion, feeling and person I want to spend the rest of my days with.
I stopped and look up a Mikey.
"Mikey, that was beautiful and now I know what it is to be in love. It's to be with you. So I guess I'm in love wit you aswell Mikey."
And at that very moment our lips met and slowly the kiss grew more passionate and passionate. That was the moment when I realised I have always been inlove with Mikey Way I just didn't know what love was.
Thankyou for reading and please rate&review I really want to know if its worth me writitng this!

Letterbox of Recommendations, Sports in Our ShortsThis Weekend, Experience The World Cup... Of Soccer Movies!
It's World Cup time, and association football fever is sweeping the globe! Of course, if you aren't currently using the metric system, you may know it better as soccer, or possibly as "that game I played in junior high." But even if you aren't a big fan, or have very little tolerance for televised sports in general, there is a way to participate in the soccer mania without enduring an actual match -- namely, by watching a marathon of soccer movies! Like real soccer matches, they take place around the world and run nearly two hours, but at least with a movie you're guaranteed three things: dramatic storylines, big-name stars and far more goals scored than you'd see in an actual game.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- A new policy at the University of Idaho strongly discourages relationships between faculty members and students following the deaths of a professor who committed suicide after killing a graduate student he had taught and dated.
Police say Ernesto Bustamante resigned Aug. 19 and three days later, gunned down 22-year-old Katy Benoit outside her Moscow home.
Faculty leaders Monday approved revisions to university rules on faculty-student relationships. The move still needs approval from the full faculty body and University President Duane Nellis, but it would be the first policy change in the wake of the deaths of Bustamante and Benoit.
The university's current policy says consensual relationships between faculty members and student are "generally deemed unwise." The new policy includes stronger language to discourage this type of contact.

Blockbuster exhibit at Phila. Art Museum
While you can get an eyeful of Pierre-Auguste Renoir's (1841-1919) work (from the last two decades of his life) at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA) in their "Late Renoir" exhibit running through Sept. 6, very few Northwest Philadelphia residents are probably aware that several of Renoir's paintings were originally housed at the Park Gate estate, owned by the McIlhenny family on the border between Germantown and Mt. Airy.
In exploring the Renoir connection to Northwest Philadelphia, it was discovered that efforts are now underway to have the once stately — but now dilapidated — mansion preserved. The house, located next to the Anna Lane Lingelbach Elementary School, at 6340 Wayne Ave. originally stood on a five-acre, impeccably landscaped site one block above the intersection of Lincoln Drive and Johnson Street.
The stone gates, which remain standing, marked the entrance to the Wissahickon Valley section of Fairmount Park, leading to the name of the estate. (In early references, Park Gate was written as one word, Parkgate, and in later years it was written as both one and two words; but more often the latter was used.)
According to PMA Curator Joseph J. Rishel and Germantown Historical Society preservationist J. Patrick Moran, members of the McIlhenny family were catalysts for shaping the PMA in many ways. Henry McIlhenny even helped put on an exhibit of works by Renoir at PMA in 1938. McIlhenny, a world-renowned art collector, helped bring the works to Philadelphia for safekeeping because of the impending war all over Europe. (Henry also owned Glenveagh Castle in County Donegal, Ireland, where he would throw lavish summer parties entertaining the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Clark Gable, Rosemary Clooney and Greta Garbo. He bought the castle in 1938 and placed it in an estate of over 40,000 acres.)
Much-kneaded Poppy's Seed Bakery rises to the top
Time after time, Souderton resident Ron Loux would hear comments from customers at the Chestnut Hill Farmers Market on Germantown Avenue about the need for a bakery.
So he decided to fulfill that need. (Their last name is pronounced "Lowx" (German) rather than "Loo" (French) because the family moved from France to Germany many years ago.)
"The market was without a bakery stand, and the customers would often comment about the market needing a bakery," Loux said."(My wife) Bev and I decided to combine our years of market experience with our desire to start our first business, and we opened Poppy's Seed Bakery."
And from there, a new business was created by Loux, who has been working in farmers markets since he was eight years old when his father owned a poultry stand in the former Germantown Farmers Market. As an adult, Loux worked for nine years at Neidermyers Poultry at the Chestnut Hill Farmers Market. But when a gelato stand at the market closed in April of 2008 and the space became available, he saw the chance for a change.
His previous phone was embezzling money
It is with great pride and joy that I announce the arrival of a new addition to the Harris household. Weighing in at just under two ounces, little "Gobbledygook International XKZ593-a" was activated by Tom at Radio Shack on Sunday, August 22, at 1:43 p.m.
I received a very warm, personal message from the President of Gobbledygook this morning: "Congratulations, [JIM], on your new phone. The XKZ593-a offers more features than ever before, including GPS, WIFI, camera, web browser and 2GB onboard memory. It allows you to easily keep in touch with others (even if they're only 10 feet away), via email, messaging, pictures, video and yes, even old-fashioned phone calls.

I admire your patience. There is NO WAY I could wait that long for something so cool.
Officer Impersonator,
Very happy to hear you will be picking up your new GSA in the coming months. I hope to meet you sometime down the road.
Take care,
[QUOTE=OfficerImpersonator;758528]I'm 5'11", and also have a 30" inseam.
I ride my RTP with the stock seat set at the middle height setting, and I can easily get the balls of both feet down on the ground. I feel no compelling need to flat-foot the bike I ride, whether it be the RTP or the GSA.
I've sat on a GSA in the showroom and it didn't feel too tall for me. I was able to get my toes on the ground with the bike on the center-stand, so I'm presuming I'll be able to touch the ground when the bike is off the center-stand.
If I'm an idiot, and I'm buying a bike that's too big for me, let me know before it's too late! :)[/QUOTE]
I am 5' 9-1/2" with a 30" inseam, and I ride a GSA. Granted I bought it mainly as an Iron Butt and sport-touring bike and do not off-road it, but I feel very comfortable on it. I had a F650 Dakar a while back that helped me get comfortable on a tall bike, and now the GSA feels no more difficult than my daily rider (R1100RT).
The R1200GSA is more fun than just about any bike I have ever owned or ridden. The tank allows for very long legs, and the handling allows me to out-ride some of my sport bike buddies in the twisties. If you go for it you will love it.
Good for you! I just got back from Duesseldorf where my cousin's husband just took delivery of his tripple black...the only thing he changed was replacing the seat with seats from Baehr ([url]www.baehr.net[/url]) Really looks good!

US military eyes cuts to pay and benefits
For years, many perks of armed service have been spared from budget slashes. That may change under a new plan from top commanders.
SIMI VALLEY, Calif. -- The U.S. military's top commanders, groping for ways to cope with a shrinking Pentagon budget, have agreed to a plan that would curb the growth of pay and benefits for housing, education and health -- prized features of military life that for years have been spared from cuts.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in a weekend interview that without such changes, the cost of military personnel would soon rise to 60% from about half of the defense budget.
"What we have asked these young men and women to do over the last 10 years, we can't pay them enough," Dempsey said during a conference at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. "Having said that, we also have an institution to manage."
Military officials haven't revealed details of the plan, which still must be approved by the Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and President Barack Obama before it is sent to Congress for approval.
Dempsey said the chiefs would unveil the changes when the proposed military budget is released in February. He said the new plan wouldn't immediately cut the benefits received by service members or retirees.
Over the past nine months, the Joint Chiefs of Staff have been analyzing military compensation -- from pay and health benefits to housing allowances to the discounted prices at base commissaries.
Previous efforts to curb benefits have met stiff opposition from veterans groups and lawmakers. Gen. Dempsey said the military's previous efforts to change compensation were flawed because they were one-year fixes. The new approach would offer a multiyear plan to slow the growth of military compensation.
The Pentagon will make a persuasive argument to lawmakers that the changes are needed to balance the budget and fair to troops, Gen. Dempsey said.
"We have the analytic tools that potentially we didn't have before," he said. "We have a body of knowledge that has convinced us doing it once is the right answer."
Lawmakers are far from certain about the plan.
"Last year Congress established a compensation review commission to look at this issue, and we have not yet received their feedback," said Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. "I would like to see how much we can get out of institutional reform before we look at cutting benefits for the troops."
Without curbs on compensation-spending growth, there will be too little money for building new weapons systems or training forces in 10 years, Gen. Dempsey said during the interview Saturday.
Off the table for now are changes in the retirement system. Because the military hopes to allow current service members to keep their existing retirement plans, it will be two decades until any savings from changes in military retirement are realized, making shifts in the program less urgent.
Gen. Dempsey made his comments on the sidelines of the Reagan National Defense Forum.
During the conference, current and former Defense officials, as well as members of Congress, spoke about the need to approve Pentagon budgets and lift the across-the-board government spending cuts known as the sequester.
"You can't expect this country to maintain a strong military if we aren't maintaining some kind of common-sense budgeting," Leon Panetta, the former Defense secretary, said at the forum. "We are sending a message that the United States is going to be weak and that is the wrong message to send."
If Congress doesn't agree to lift the sequester, the Pentagon faces $52 billion in cuts in January. About $41 billion was cut this year from military spending.
Panetta's successor, Hagel, said in a speech that the military's ability to respond to crises was impaired by budget cuts.
"Inevitably, we are shrinking the size of the force that is ready and available to meet new contingencies or respond to crises across the globe," Hagel said.
Dempsey said in the interview that if the sequester stayed in place, a large number of military units wouldn't be ready for war or other duties. Under the sequester, the military in five years will be without the necessary depth to tap in the event of unforeseen crises, he said.
"You have just what you need," Dempsey said. "But my view of the future is, just what you need is not enough."
More from The Wall Street Journal
I do contract work for some military installations. Cutting benefits for the troops gets my anger up quite high.
The waste in the military involving all branches of the military with procurement and utilization is staggering. If they would bring their system into the 21st century they would not need to cut any benefits. Their usual response is this is how we have always done it. Disgusting.
The only thing worth paying in the military are those who actually put boots on the ground. Eliminate waste, fraud, graft, corruption and the military would have more money than they know what to do with. Eisenhower was no fool: "Beware the military industrial complex."
As it is now, we have petulant boys playing with million and billion dollar toys and they pad what they "need" in order to be afford the "amenities." Seriously--how many mistresses does one need?
The military can no longer expand quickly times of trouble, because the technologies and the levels of expertise involved are too high to allow for the kind of rapid expansion that was seen in WWII. Beyond that that, the industrial base has been eroded. Much of what is left will not be able to withstand an extended period during which manufacture of existing systems and development of next generation systems is curtailed. We are headed for serious trouble. The world is a much smaller place than it was even twenty years ago, but the Administration does not care because the fruit of these seeds will not be harvested during its time in office.

Specializing in New American cuisine, this cozy brunch, lunch, tea and dinner spot looks more like something you'd find in Montauk, Long Island, than on the bustling Upper West Side, thanks to open-air front doors, crisp white tablecloths and a seafood-heavy menu, including a pan-seared jumbo lump crab cake sandwich, Maine lobster rolls, seafood Cobb salad and organic Scottish salmon. On Thursday nights, it gets a little more raucous thanks to local live jazz.

Changes In The Location Of Employment And Ownership: Evidence From California
AbstractWe use the National Establishment Time-Series database to describe shifts in the geographic dispersion of employment and ownership of firms. Focusing on data on business establishments in California, and establishments anywhere in the United States that are owned by firms headquartered in California, we find shifts in the operations of businesses headquartered in California to other states. However, this shift has been offset by increased employment in the state by firms headquartered elsewhere, resulting in California's share of national employment holding quite constant. The evidence points to increasing geographic dispersion of firms' operations, especially in industries with lower communication costs. Copyright (c) 2008, Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Made an IPA on Black Friday with my son while the girls went out shopping. It's been fermenting for 17 days now at 62-64 degrees, and I'd like to dry hop with whole leaves in the primary (bucket), using a mesh bag for about 5 days before kegging. A few Qs:
- Any need to cold crash before dry hopping?
- Once I start dry hopping, should I move the fermenter to room temps?
- If dry hopping at room temps, should I take the temps back down before kegging?
Primary 1: Lonely
Primary 2: Lonely
Secondary 1: Orange Mead (Made Jan. 2013)
On Tap #1: Stormy Monday IIPA
On Tap #2: Mild Thing English Brown
On Deck: Thinking....
No need to cold crash before dry hopping. I almost always dry hop in primary. You can warm it a bit if you want to help your yeast work a bit more and maybe clean up or get 1 point better attenuation if there are any fermentables left, but it probably won't do anything noticeable. Once you've dry hopped for a few days, you can crash it to help clear your beer if you'd like or just go straight to packaging. I usually cold crash my lighter beers.
Nothing wrong with dryhopping in the primary, but a few things to consider:
1) You don't want to dryhop for more than 7-10 days. The hops start to add a bit of a grassy taste to the beer after that.
2) In my experience, a dryhopped beer has the nice, fresh dryhopped aroma for about 10-14 days before it starts to dissipate pretty rapidly. For that reason, I typically dryhop cold in the keg starting whenever I start to serve the beer instead of in the primary, as that dryhop aroma will fall off pretty rapidly. The downside of this method, of course, is I typically have a bit of hop dust in my beers for the first 4-5 days, but nothing that bothers me. One of these days I'm going to invest in a Randal/Hopback to solve that slight issue.
Good luck!
Primary #1 - Oktoberfest
Primary #2 - Chamomile Honey Wheat
Primary #3 - EMPTY!
Secondary #1 - Downtown Flanders Brown (brewed August 2012)
Keg #1 - Coffee Vanilla Stout
Keg #2 - Fall of the Ukraine Baltic Porter (lagering in keg)
Keg #3 - EMPTY!
Bottled - NONE!
Popped the bucket lid today and verified FG. Poured the hydrometer sample into a glass, pretty damn tasty if I say so myself. Put an ounce of whole leaf Citra in a weighted muslin bag and tossed it in. Can't wait. But I will....
As a close-out to the post, I dry hopped in the primary for five days and then kegged. Still have a few gallons left, it turned out excellent and has been complimented by many of my craft beer and homebrewing friends.
The best compliment was from my craft beer loving SWMBO. Since my homebrew pipeline was empty at the time, I had a commercial keg of Sierra Nevada on tap in my kegerator. The day I kegged this batch, I pulled a sample with my thief and put it in a glass. I set the glass on the counter and went out in the garage to grab my autosiphon. When I came back the wife was holding the glass, and said "There's something wrong with the Sierra Nevada, it's flat".

Jack Welch is probably the best CEO of the 20th century. Here are my top 10 favorite quotes by Mr. Welch:
- Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful… that's what matters to me.
- Control your own destiny or someone else will.
- Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?
- Willingness to change is a strength, even if it means plunging part of the company into total confusion for a while.
- I'm the same person I was when I started.
- Simply put: we don't build services to make money; we make money to build better services.
- Number one, cash is king... number two, communicate... number three, buy or bury the competition.
- Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.
- Management is all about managing in the short term, while developing the plans for the long term.
- You've got to eat while you dream. You've got to deliver on short-range commitments, while you develop a long-range strategy and vision and implement it. The success of doing both. Walking and chewing gum if you will. Getting it done in the short-range, and delivering a long-range plan, and executing on that.

Summary: It's easy to get disheartened when your planet has been blown up, the woman you love has vanished due to a misunderstanding about space/time, the spaceship you are on crashes on a remote and Bob-fearing planet, and all you have to fall back on are a few simple sandwich-making skills. However, instead of being disheartened, Arthur Dent makes the terrible mistake of starting to enjoy life a bit-and immediately all hell breaks loose. Hell takes a number of forms: there's the standard Ford Prefect version, in the shape of an all-new edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy , and a totally unexpected manifestation in the form of a teenage girl who startles Arthur Dent by being his daughter when he didn't even know he had one. Can Arthur save the Earth from total multidimensional obliteration? Can he save the Guide from a hostile alien takeover? Can he save his daughter, Random, from herself? Of course not. He never works out exactly what is going on. Will you?

Milk Paint by The Real Milk Paint Co.
[Laura in Colorado is here to show her wares as we run the last of the finalists for the writer positions here at The Kitchen. Welcome to Laura! Let us know what you think of her posts.]
Next time you're looking for an easy and inexpensive way to update your kitchen, look no farther than your refrigerator. Virtually odorless, environmentally safe, and non-toxic, Real Milk Paint is a perfect choice for updating those dark kitchen cabinets.
A milk paint finish actually strengthens with time and exposure to moisture in the air. Purchase it from The Real Milk Paint Co. in powdered form and just add water, mix new colors with multiple pigments and add to RMPC's base, or mix up a batch using one of their authentic recipes (using real skim milk or cottage cheese!).
With over 25 colors in two collections of traditional and historical blends, one $15.75 bag of powdered mix makes one quart and covers approximately 70 sq. ft.
Keep in mind your surface must be non-porous, or you can add RMPC's Ultra Bond product to the mix. RMPC recommends kitchen applications be finished with several coats of pure tung oil (FDA approved for food contact) or a clear water-based acrylic.
We recently ordered a batch for our kitchen remodel. Stay tuned for the results!
5 Comments
I am in love the look of lighter wood, but I would worry that mixing some cottage cheese into my paint might leave a lingering odor, to say the least.
I was under the inpression that milk paint should be sealed with an oil-based varnish/poly/sealer because milk paint is always reversible and will be removed, smudged, liquified with water and any water-based product.
from their website:
"After the paint has dried 3-4 hours you may top coat with varnish, oil finish, Pure Tung Oil, lacquer, or wax."
RMPC says, "If the milk paint is old, over a year, paint remover will not touch it." In my kitchen, I've found it to be very durable and we actually decided to forgo the top coat altogether.
That being said, in my research to choose a milk paint supplier, I found there are a lot of different products out there labeled "milk paint" that all act very differently...so your impression is certainly worth noting for anyone out there looking at various brands of milk paint.
Such a timely article, thanks Laura. We have very old, very dark cabinets in the kitchen that I would really like to paint, and milk paint seems like a great choice (any paint fumes make me so sick).
Just the kind of article I look for... informative, personal, and inspiring. Two thumbs up!
I know that old (from the 1800s) milk paint is a bear to remove, so whatever they did to it back then made it not at all easily reversible.

"I love these save the date cards. The design is simple but gorgeous! Fits perfectly with our beach themed wedding. I was able to customize the color of the font, But I wish the color of the star could be changed as well. Overall I was very satisfied with this product!!"
"Our Save the Dates were perfect! We chose the pearlized paper and it just gave it a nice shine. It really made the beachy background come to life. We chose to write our info with website and more details in the back which worked out perfect as we are having a destination wedding. Text, ink, everything looked professional and very well done. Guests were very pleased and loved our Saved the Dates."
"I got these and love them. The paper quality is very high. Heavy weight card stock. Beautiful design. My only complaint is that it goes from blue to a sandy color. On my monitor it looked blush. It's not. I was a little disappointed about that but overall they're lovely."
"This save he date postcard was perfect for our destination wedding. The paper quality is excellent; which was a relief since they are not protected by an envelope. The proof was provided within 1 or 2 days and we received within 5 days of confirming the proof. There are not any other matching products, but this was not important to us."
"The color combo for the card I chose is beautiful. I was surprised by the paper texture as well. Very pleased with the quality. Excited for all my guests to receive these. Will be purchasing the matching invitations for sure."

9 homes with indoor slides
By Scot Meyer of SwitchYard Media
Stairs can be boring. Maybe that's why some homeowners have added an alternative means of descent that's faster and a lot more fun: indoor slides.
Although slides on most outdoor play sets are strictly for kids, many of these architectural wonders are meant for grown-ups, as well — or at least for their inner children.
Here is a look at indoor slides that bring a bit of a "whee" factor, as well as added style, to some already-impressive homes.

9 homes with indoor slides
East Village penthouse
Combining two one-bedroom apartments in New York City's East Village into one penthouse unit gave this condo owner extra space for a game room and a putting green on the terrace, among other things.
But the real fun comes via the way these two apartments, one atop the other, have been combined into a single space. At the owner's request, Turett Collaborative Architects linked the apartments with a stylish staircase and a helical, half-tube stainless-steel slide that descends through an 18-foot, glass-enclosed atrium. In addition to views of the city, the slide provides a quick route from near the second-floor office in the 2,400-square-foot penthouse to the living room and dining room on the lower floor.

Twisty Minnesota slide
Among the features that residential design-and-construction firm Kuhl Design Build added to one client's home in Medina, Minn., is a spiral slide. It descends from a round, waist-high opening in the wall of a mud room on the first floor to a padded landing area in the basement.
Builder Steve Kuhl says the slide, which was reclaimed from a local community center, is 55 feet long and completely enclosed within the wall. Only the entrance and exit are visible.
For the less adventurous, an adjacent staircase leads to the basement, which also has a climbing wall.

Indonesian concrete slide
Jakarta, Indonesia-based architectural firm Aboday kept a family's 5-year-old boy in mind when it designed their home in the suburb of Tangerang. The concrete home includes a coiled slide to speed descent from the boy's second-floor bedroom to the living room downstairs.
As it turns out, the boy is not the only one who uses the slide. It has proved popular with the family's guests, as well.

Three-story slide in Japan
This Tokyo house by Level Architects has a clean, modern style for grown-ups. But the structure also has a kid-friendly feature: a three-story, interior slide that wraps around the home's core, providing a fast and fun way to get from the third floor to the ground level.
Level Architects has at least one other indoor slide to its credit, as well.

Chicagoland basement slide
Chicago teacher and blogger Erin Beus and her husband, Shawn, created an indoor slide in their home outside Chicago. Shawn Beus, an electrical engineer, had dreamed of having a built-in slide, and their house had the perfect spot for it: a space inside the wall next to the basement stairs. He cut an opening in the wall to access the space, moved some pipes and heating ducts to make room, and reinforced floor joists to support the extra weight. Meanwhile, Erin Beus found a tube slide online that fit the new space. The couple and their six children now have a zigzag slide that leads to the basement.

Underground London slide
London's Michaelis Boyd Associates designed a five-bedroom townhouse, completed in 2004, with an indoor pool and a children's play area. Designers aimed for environmental sustainability while coping with restrictions that required it to be built no higher than a 6-foot boundary wall, so it would be hidden from the street. Thus, the two-story house was built mostly underground.
In addition to meeting these guidelines, the project has its whimsical side. The children's play area includes a slide that runs along the staircase to the home's lowest level.

New Jersey rainbow slide
Designers Robert and Cortney Novogratz built a slide along a staircase as part of a basement redo on their HGTV show, "Home By Novogratz."
The project involved converting a basement in Westfield, N.J., into a haven for the Everett family, with an entertainment center and bar for the parents and a playroom for the three kids. To make getting down to the basement more fun, they added rainbow-inspired stenciling to the steps, as well as an adjoining slide accessed via a cutout in the wall atop the stairs.

Indiana spiral slide
Woodworker Rodney Miller of Anderson, Ind., says it took 15 months for him and his company, Wood Innovation, to create the spiral staircase and attached 27-foot mahogany slide in inventor Scott Jones' home in suburban Indianapolis.
Jones, who invented voicemail, wanted an extraordinary slide for the Tudor-style mansion he bought and renovated in the mid-1990s. He told Forbes magazine that he spent more than $10 million on the renovations, which also included an indoor treehouse, a full-size movie theater and a therapeutic waterfall shower.
Miller says he constructed the slide using shipbuilding techniques in his garage workshop, which he had to expand for the project. He then disassembled the slide and put it back together in Jones' home.

Indoor slide to pool
Looking like something out of James Bond's apartments in the 1960s, this slide in a subterranean mansion in Bowdon, England, transports residents and guests from a dressing room off the master bedroom suite to a lower-level pool.
The whole house is underground, and it contains a gym, bar, plant room and garage. It also can be yours, for around $3.17 million.
