Brian Rowe, former head of GE Aviation, died February 22. He was 75. Rowe joined GE in 1957 and later led the CF6 engine program. He was named head of GE Aviation in 1979. Rowe launched the CF34 turbofan for business and regional jets, the F110 for the F-16 fighter and the CF6-80C2, which powers the Airbus A300/A300-600/A310 series, the Boeing 747-300/400, MD-11 and Lockheed Martin C-5.
Interviews with people of interest in aerospace, including those in industry, government and AIN's "Bizav Warriors." Topics include announcements of personnel changes, awards and final departures.
Hans Doll was promoted to director of customer and product support for Grob Aerospace. He was previously head of sales for Grob training aircraft. Denzil White was named director of international sales for the Grob training fleet as well as director of special mission aircraft.
President Bush has named Kerry Long, a self-described "aviation enthusiast" with nearly three decades of experience in aviation law, to serve as chief counsel for the FAA.
Executive Jet Management (EJM) announced changes to its management team with three personnel movements. Kaj Wren was hired for the new position of director of charter vendor standards. He was formerly chief pilot for three aviation companies. Ben Murray was promoted to national v-p of charter sales and John Nelson was promoted to v-p of business systems. Murray was previously EJM's regional v-p of charter services.
The former v-p of general aviation sales and business development for Air BP, David Brinson, has formed Avian Solutions in Marshall, Va. His new company offers consulting services in the design, construction and management of FBOs, hangars, airports, fuel farms and other segments of the aircraft service industry. Before Joining Air BP, Brinson was general manager for Piedmont Hawthorne at Washington Dulles Airport.
ived the FAA's prestigious Charles Taylor Award, which recognizes lifetime accomplishments of senior aircraft mechanics.
Karl Stuhmer, Raytheon Aircraft's field representative in the Rocky Mountain region, received the award in recognition of his vast contributions to the aviation community
by helping and teaching both customers and fellow technicians.
Frank Zimerman, who helped organize and create Wing Aviation and then served as the company's director of operations, has been promoted to vice president of John Wing Aviation (JWA). In that capacity he will oversee maintenance on all JWA-owned and -managed aircraft, and assist with charter sales and quoting new aircraft acquisitions.
As the only approved IFR-capable MD 500E in the world, N5144Q is no ordinary MD 500E helicopter. To stand a chance of bettering Ron Bower's solo 1994 round-the-world-in-a-helicopter record, Simon Oliphant-Hope needed to have it back in the UK. The managing director of Eastern Atlantic Helicopters located N5144Q in California and brought it back to his home airfield, at Shoreham on England's south coast.
Jim Ziegler, v-p and general manager of Bombardier business aviation services, and Keith Miller, v-p of engineering for Learjet in Wichita, have left Bombardier Aerospace. Ziegler's decision to leave the company was based on personal reasons, and he plans to remain in the Wichita area. Miller had scheduled his retirement before Bombardier's major restructuring began earlier this year and will relocate to Florida.
Richard Doubrava has joined NBAA in the new role of director of security. He is responsible for coordinating programs in the areas of business aviation security, particularly NBAA's new Secure Access program. Doubrava, introduced to NBAA by Shelley Longmuir before she departed the presidency, was previously with Carmen Group, a Washington, D.C.-based federal lobbying and government-relations firm.

Time for a MUCH overdue update! Things have been going pretty well. I've been faithful to the plan…that doesn't mean that I haven't still craved stuff like crazy!! Oddly enough, even a bit more than sugar, I find myself craving grains. It's been torture to fix my son's toast or watch my husband eat a sandwich. And…not gonna lie…when I fixed my son's (homemade, not from a box) mac and cheese I stuck my head right over the steaming pot and took a couple of deeeeep breaths. Grainy, cheesy goodness.
Something that's really helped me is finding a recipe or two to try over the weekend. These have either been recipes that I don't have time to make during the week, or they have been recipes that I only should be having once in a while according to the Whole30 guidelines. Many times it has been simply taking more time to poach my eggs instead of fry them. I cannot say enough good things about Chowstalker. I have NEVER seen so many useful recipes in one place…and it's been my go-to site for Whole30 approved recipes. You do have to specify Whole30 because, even though all the recipes on the site are healthy and paleo, not all stick to the Whole30 plan. I've found everything from quick dinner ideas to more complicated, make-ahead dishes that I can munch on for the whole week.
Something that I've had trouble sticking with is the "try not to snack" guideline. At first it wasn't hard because I felt like I was eating MORE food per meal than I was used to. I guess this challenge really has hit "reset" on my metabolism because I get hungry about every 4 hours. I've tried to make sure that I'm eating enough protein at every meal and that I'm drinking enough water every day… (I shoot for 4 nalgene bottles full in a day, but I usually end up drinking 3 which is 96oz per day) but I get so stinking hungry! Night time is the worst. I'm trying not to snack too much, but if I'm hungry I'm eating for the most part. My family has always been a "lots of little meals throughout the day" kind of family, so I think that's just how my metabolism is naturally wired.
I'll do a more in-depth post at the end of my 30 days that will reflect on all that this experience has done for me. I can tell you from where I sit now that I have seen an improvement in my overall mood and energy levels and I am MUCH less bloated and sluggish than I was.
I'll do another post later this week that highlights some of my favorite recipes that I've tried!
Well, I've made it through day 4. I felt fine on day 1, and even day 2. My family ended up going out to eat the night of day 1; I was able to order grilled salmon with veggies and I made sure there was no glaze on the salmon and requested no butter. Day 2 I was in Atlanta all day, so I took food with me and did pretty well.
Day 3….is when the 'sugar hangover' hit HARD. I woke up that morning feeling really awful…I was shaky and super low-energy. Eating breakfast made it a bit better. I did eat a half of a grapefruit with breakfast that morning, which I probably shouldn't have done because my body was tweakin' for sugar. It did seem to give me a bit of energy and got rid of the shakes. I made sure not to eat any fruit for the rest of that day. I had a dull headache for most of the day.
So today, day 4, has been better! I still felt pretty rough when I woke up this morning. It truly is a sugar HANGOVER because it totally feels like one. I was shaky and dealt with some nausea, even during and after eating. I found that my appetite was close to gone today…I only ate half of the omelette I made for breakfast and about a quarter of the salad I made for lunch. Dinner tonight was a resounding success!! I originally wanted to make pork chops tonight, but then I realized that I have never cooked a pork chop in my life and didn't want to risk coming up empty handed for dinner because of lack of pork chop mojo. So, I perused the Whole30 recipes on Chowstalker and found a great twice-baked sweet potato recipe.
Baked sweet potato, shredded chicken, avocado, and green onion. It tasted great and was pretty easy to make! I'll most likely put this on my Week B menu (which I have yet to make).
I'm really craving some soup or chili, and I've found a couple of recipes that I'm looking forward to trying. I think my week B menu will have more recipes instead of framework ideas. The menu for week A has worked, and I've had all of the ingredients on hand…but I haven't had recipes to work with so I've messed up a couple of my menu items.
I'm looking forward to the energy spikes, better sleep, and overall feel good-ness that is to come. On to day 5!
I'm starting the Whole30 today. The basic rundown is that it is a very strict paleo dietary regimen for 30 days, and it's supposed to hit the 'reset' button on your healthy eating habits. This means no sugar, no dairy (except eggs), no legumes, and no grains. This girl will be consuming a lot of protein, veggies, water, and some fruit over the next 30 days!
I know I'm starting a bit late, but that is intentional. I have tried to start SO many things on January 1, and have never completed any of them. Call me superstitious or whatever you'd like, but I figured this time I would pick a different day to avoid that unspoken pressure that comes along with starting something on January 1.
I have been ANYTHING but healthy for the past 7 months. Getting used to wifehood has been a bit more difficult than I expected, including getting used to living with someone who has VERY different dietary habits than me. I think I've compromised many of my eating habits in the name of convenience. My husband doesn't eat veggies and my 4yo son is going through his picky phase, so I have stopped making sure that healthy options are a part of my diet because it's been easier to order a pizza or whip up some mac and cheese.
My main goal for the Whole30 is not necessarily weight loss (although some will take place); I really want to FEEL better. (Actually, part of the Whole30 is that you are NOT allowed to get on a scale except for a before and after weight.) I've been feeling sluggish and low on energy, my self-esteem has taken a dive, my acne has flared up, I've had some digestive issues from all the junk food, I've had trouble focusing on work/chores, and I DESPERATELY want to get back into racing shape. I haven't done any running since December of LAST YEAR. After doing a half marathon, a Ragnar relay, and a 5k in Nov/Dec of '12, I fell off the wagon big time. I hope the Whole30 can help me get back into healthy eating habits so that I can start training and run the Run for God half marathon in April. I'm going to be doing some strength-building yoga during my Whole30, and then after I think I'm going to do an Advocare 24 day challenge and use the Can You 24 workouts to kick things up a notch. Then I'll get on a training schedule for running.
Thus begins the journey. Here's my shelf in the fridge and my little pantry area on the counter:
Here's this week's meal plan. I'm also going to make a Week B plan and I'll go through each week twice.
For my salad dressings I'm using either EVOO and balsamic (making sure the balsamic I bought has no added sugar) or EVOO and fresh lemon juice. I also have a great recipe for an oil-based caesar (sans anchovy paste and parm) that's olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt and pepper to taste. It works really well.
My 'chicken salad' will use the smashed avocado as the mayo component. I have seen several recipes for Whole30 compliant mayo, but I'm not a big enough fan of it to make some from scratch.
The menu planning presented a few challenges, but I ended up thinking of things I'd like to eat or finding recipes on Chowstalker's huge Whole30 database…then I would make sure that the ingredients I'm using to create the dishes are all Whole30 compliant. Good thing I already like veggies! I did conscientiously choose veggies that I'm already familiar with and that I know I like. I figured it would be good to do that for the first week…maybe later in my 30 days I can try some different veggies like bok choy or rutabaga.
So, here goes! Day 1. I'm going to try to post updates as much as I can.
I am 5'8 and 144lbs.

A retraction: Gay Republican staffer recants his claim of being assaulted
Last week, I reported on The Daily Caller that Kyle Wood, a gay Republican campaign volunteer, claimed he was hospitalized for his sexuality and political activism. Yesterday evening, however, Kyle recanted his story, according to Madison police. According to The Daily Page, Wood recanted after concerns were raised by police about threatening texts Wood claimed were from the partner of the opponent of the congressional candidate for whom Wood volunteers. The Daily Page reports that Captain Joe Balles of the South District Madison Police Department says the texts never took place.
It now is clear that Kyle lied to me, to other reporters, and to the thousands of people who read my article and the many follow-up blog posts and articles by others. Having known Kyle for a number of months, and spent a number of hours examining his claims, I believed he was telling me the truth and submitted an article to The Daily Caller.
Though it was not my intent, I reported an inaccurate story, as well as an inaccurate follow-up blog post at Right Wing News and in the Hot Air Green Room. I apologize to all readers for being taken in by Wood. His dishonesty has caused harm to the reputations of many respectable individuals and organizations that believed his story, including me.
I have reached out to Wood for an explanation about this whole debacle, but he is not answering e-mails, has deleted his Facebook account, and is not answering his phone.

This was the first time I've ever made Kugel. It was a fine start! It was just for 2 people, so I halved everything but the worcestershire and hot sauce. Changes I made: no dried basil added fresh parsley used red pepper instead of green use vegetarian worcestershire All in all a pretty fabulous dish. Thanks for getting me off to a great start.

We SO enjoyed this for tonight's dinner: delicious! I always approach kugel recipes as fair game: an opportunity to vary what I throw in and what I omit according to the whim of the moment. It was a while since I'd made kugel so I approached making this dish with considerable enthusiasm. I made a few changes because of personal taste preferences and a few additions because I love the additional ingredients. I omitted the hot pepper sauce and used only 1/2 teaspoon of worcestershire sauce (we have almost zero tolerance of anything hot and spicy), I doubled the garlic and I added an onion and one leek: just love the combination of onions, garlic and leek. I also added a cup of thinly sliced mushrooms. I added basil and oregano (as in the ingredients list) but also added rosemary, sage and thyme. I used low-fat cottage cheese and low-fat sour cream as I find that low-fat versions of these makes no appreciable difference to the final dish. Once all the ingredients had been combined, I added two eggs - as eggs have featured in most other kugel recipes I've made. I baked the kugel in several smaller dishes as two were destined for the freezer. I look forward to making this again - probably quite differently next time.

One of the first things I searched for on Zaar was a savory noodle kugel, so I was thrilled to find this one. Though the recipe made an interesting pasta dish, every kugel I've ever had was more of a custard style dish held together by some eggs, and this was a more loose noodle dish. I did make a couple of changes but I don't think that sticking to the original would have made changed the overall resutls. I couldn't find spinach noodles, so I stuck with all egg noodles. I also left out the hot pepper sauce and bell peppers (I really don't like either), and was out of scallions, but I used mushrooms & onions in their place. I think that anyone looking for a sour cream style noodle dish might really like this, it just wasn't what I was shooting for.people found this review Helpful.

SEATTLE -- Celie Brown tried to avoid the news Sunday, preferring to focus on cooking for Passover. But the news that broke during the day was shocking and troubling enough for her to turn to technology, and discover the truth taking place in Kansas City.
"This is our holiday of freedom," said Brown, "To have something like this happen on this holiday, it's horrifying."
Brown is referring to the shootings at an Overland Park, KS. Jewish center that left three people dead. The 73-year-old suspect is believed to have ties to white supremacist groups.
"It's most defnitely a hate crime," commented Brown, "He was looking for a Jew to kill. That's what's most horrifying, and that's what happened here in Seattle."
Brown chairs the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, an organization that experienced its own gun-related tragedy in 2006, when a man walked into the group's Belltown offices and shot six people, killing one.
"I don't think you ever forget or technically move forward from a tragedy like that," said Brown, "We'll repair the world, that's our job. We'll continue to do that until we finally make progress."
Since the 2006 tragedy, the Jewish Federation has held annual memorials for Pam Waechler, who died in the attack, and the other five shooting victims who survived.
It also has joined in the push for gun rights legislation and provided support for initatives as well.

Q&A: How can we throw a co-ed shower that will be fun for all the guests?
We want to have a co-ed shower. Any tips for making it fun for me, my husband, and all our friends?
The Baby Planners say that a party is a party is a party. If a co-ed shower is what the parents-to-be prefer, then go for it. A few menu adjustments—like switching out the tea sandwiches and quiche for sliders and nachos, and the iced tea for an ice cold brew—are not only easy but also creative and fun. You might even be surprised by how many of the invitees (mother-in-law, co-workers, BFFs) actually prefer to bring their significant other to the celebration, rather than going solo.
We love the idea of a wine and cheese shower, an after-work shower and even a Saturday night couples get together. You might want to consider shelving the classic shower games for the one being played on TV, and wait until after the goodbyes to open gifts, sparing "mixed" company the obligatory oohs and aahs over a bodysuit! But whatever direction your party takes, just remember that general party rules apply: good food, good music, and good hosting equals good times for all.

The best tips for teaching critical thinking skills include understanding the analytical level of your students and placing an emphasis on writing essays. Since essays involve supporting the writer's thesis, or main idea, with supporting arguments plus research, students can be taught the difference between well-reasoned judgments and mere opinion or belief. Another way to teach critical thinking skills is to encourage students to see both details and the bigger picture by using the "forest and trees" analogy. Introducing a four-step approach to solving problems that involves recognizing the problem, exploring all options through creative brainstorming, taking time to reflect on the issues and finally eliminating solutions or ideas that won't work.
Reasoning based on valid information is a keystone of critical thinking. A good tip to keep in mind when teaching critical thinking skills is to make sure students understand how to choose valid research sources of information when doing essay assignments. If they don't, making reasonable judgments and logical supporting statements isn't likely to be possible.
It can be easy to believe almost any source as having reliable information unless one is taught to look for valid sources only. Not having accurate sources or facts makes it difficult to eliminate faulty solutions or ideas in problem solving. Students should learn how to disregard inaccurate or dubious information based on a lack of evidence or facts to back up the source and instead use critical reading approaches.
Teaching students to take time to reflect on a problem or issue without making a snap decision, especially one based on emotion, is crucial in communicating the concepts of critical thinking. Unless trained otherwise, many people don't actually spend time thinking and reflecting on the different sides and questions involved in a topic. Rather, they voice their opinion, which is usually fueled by emotions or past personal experience rather than on a thoughtful, wider perspective. Teaching critical thinking skills by emphasizing reflection can often be accomplished by instructing students to think about an issue or problem from many different sides.
Such creative thought, brainstorming or open thinking, usually leads to questions or connected ideas that in turn may lead to valid points about the subject or situation. Opening the topic up also tends to reveal more options in solving problems connected to it. Presenting a problem to the class for students to brainstorm and reflect on can help in teaching critical thinking skills.
As solutions are mentioned by different students, evaluating the suggestions using a critical approach can further the lesson. If the class seems to focus on either too general or too specific options, bringing up the "forest and trees" analogy may help increase the level of thought. The expression "not being able to see the forest for the trees" can communicate the message that too much attention to details is resulting in some main points being missed. The opposite scenario, "not being able to see the trees for the forest" will present another common issue when teaching critical thinking skills. Seeing only the general trend, without looking at individual cases can especially work against thinking critically, as it often leads to stereotyping through over-generalization.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

An Albany woman decided to leave her car this morning when told that a snake had crawled inside it. Janet Abernathy said she saw the 4 foot long, black snake under another car when she went into the Hobby Lobby on Dawson Road. When she came out, people said they saw the snake crawl up into her car.
Animal control workers saw the snake inside the sheet metal of the car, but could not get it out. Hobby Lobby employees squirted chemicals in to try and drive it out, but with no luck.
So Janet called and got a ride back to her job, and left her car in the parking lot. Janet Abernathy said "No, I could sell it, snake in car, if you want it, cheap. Just the idea of a snake in your car. I'll have my husband come back later and look at the car."
Abernathy left her car in hopes the snake will crawl out. She plans to check it tomorrow.

tomboy — rough and tumble, as interested in fashion as she is interested in watching paint dry. However, in the reboot or in the doll, she becomes a girly girl. Often complete with princess dress or at least a Pimped-Out Dress, tween fashion and long hair, often with hair decorations. Notice that the girl is often aged up — from little girl to tween. (Ironically, tweens are often less feminine than little girls — tweens are at the stage of life where the dresses and cuteness are ditched for a more mature style.) Compare/contrast Fan Service Pack. May overlap with Progressively Prettier. See also Chickification. Unlike Chickification, this trope doesn't necessarily mean she becomes weaker. The trick is that the girl becomes more dainty-looking, but keeps at least a good part of her core personality underneath the skirts and make-up. Bottom Line: this trope and Chickification DO NOT OVERLAP, so take any examples of Chickification to the page itself. If becoming girlier is portrayed as better or worse than being more tomboyish, then you've got some Unfortunate Implications on your hand. Almost always overlaps with Hotter and Sexier.
Examples:Anime and Manga

Night Seventeen/Eighteen. House party at our friends Jen & Todd's. It was a hybrid holiday and birthday party, and it was EPIC!
Night Fifteen/Sixteen. Smog Cutter.
Night Fourteen. Happy Hour at Max Karaoke.
Night Twelve/Thirteen. Bigfoot Lodge.
Night 9, East Coast edition: Occupy Karaoke came to NYC! Karaoke Duet's songbook featured a number of holy grail songs — "Ain't No Fun," "Trapped in the Closet - Pt. 1," and yes, "Rape Me." (Though no one touched the Jenn Murphy classic.)
Night Nine/Ten. Smog Cutter.
Night Eight. Tonight we discovered just how seriously Max Karaoke takes cleaning. "Sister Christian" closed out the night. And I think just maybe the lyrics in that first photo are the unofficial Occupy Karaoke motto.
Night Seven. Happy hour at Max Karaoke. Tonight we discovered that the video for Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper" is pretty amazing.
Tuesday was supposed to be a night off but then we received this tweet from @jenyamato: Guys, I don't know how this happened. I was driving, and…

Image description: A Fish and Wildlife Conservation biologist examines the mouth of a young Kemp's ridley sea turtle for any evidence of oil or tar in the mouth, which would indicate that the turtle has ingested oil. Turtles may ingest oil by feeding on oiled prey or by eating tar balls.
FWC biologists and other rescue workers are searching for oil-impacted sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico to assess the extent of the damage from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
The rescue workers' main goal is to find and rehabilitate as many of the oil-impacted sea turtles as possible.
Learn more about the efforts to help the effected sea turtles.

Re: Sugarpova
I was in New York last week for US Open so i went to Henri Bendel to see the Sugarpova collection. I thought the t shirts were nice. I got a black one $28. The other stuff is nice too. I bought loads of Sugarpova sweets. Oh also the lovely lady in there showed me a peach warm up top like Maria's had to buy it of course. $70 but well worth it so comfy and doesn't maKE you sweat while playing tennis or just jogging or something. Really wanted the trainers too but they were $170. Will get them if i go to New York again.

So while I was travelling for business, I encountered a woman by the name of Dewana F. Daniel with a remarkable story about saving $. Since I'm in entertainment, I get this sort of thing all the time, therefore I was really skeptical, but you KNOW how I like to save $, and so I heard her out! After she told me her story, I told her we had to do an interview, and so we did.
She shared with me how she was able to take over $60k in IRS tax debt and wipe it away legally and quickly; paying under $1k. At first, I called BS. But after she gave me the details, I was like, 'Alright…let's go run up some debt.' lol So take a moment and ask consider the following questions: Do you owe the IRS? Are you on a payment plan? Are your wages being garnished? If any of those are true, then you should know relief is HERE!
Seriously, I just had to share her story with you in hopes that you may find relief for any $ problems you may have. The only way people find out about this kind of thing is when people talk about it and share…And so I have.
The best part about this whole thing, to me, is that she was able to build a business model around her own good fortune. That's what it's all about! Her company is called VLRD Management Group. Check them out and try to call BS like I did!
I'll post the full interview next week, but for now, hit the link below and see what's it's all about. Only takes a click!
FYI…I didn't get payed for this. I just want to help people get out of the bondage of debt!

The Caldwell Partners International Inc. Notice of Intention to Purchase Shares
TORONTO, June 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Retained executive search firm The Caldwell Partners International Inc. (TSX: CWL) announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) has accepted the company's Notice of Intention to purchase through a normal course issuer bid (NCIB) up to 1,050,008 of its common shares, representing approximately 5% of the 21,000,155 shares outstanding as at June 25, 2014 (the "Notice").
The NCIB commences on June 27, 2014 and will end on the earlier of June 26, 2015, the date that the Company completes the purchase of the total number of shares permitted under the notice, or the date of a notice by the Company that it is terminating the NCIB. The Company may purchase its shares, from time to time, if it believes that the market price of the shares is attractive and that the purchase would be an appropriate use of corporate funds and in the best interests of the Company. Any shares purchased by the Company under the NCIB will be effected through the facilities of the TSX at the prevailing market price at the time of the purchase. All shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.
The Company's purchase of shares during any trading day will not exceed 3,409 shares, representing approximately 25% of the average daily trading volume of the shares based on the number of shares traded during the most recently completed six calendar months preceding the filing of the Notice, and subject to the Company's ability to make block purchases in accordance with the TSX's facilities and rules.
Under its previous normal course issuer bid that expired on June 6, 2014, the Company had not repurchased any of its common shares.
The Company believes that the market price of its common shares could be such that their purchase may be an attractive and appropriate use of corporate funds in light of potential benefits to remaining shareholders.
The Company has appointed CIBC World Markets as trustee for the purposes of arranging for the acquisition of the shares.
A copy of the Company's Notice filed with the TSX may be obtained, by any shareholder without charge, by contacting the Company's corporate secretary.

Even if you're SEXY OVER 50....Sometimes you just gotta be "bad." I'm not talking bad-bad but medium-bad meaning you've got a bag of Tostitos and potato chips on your lap at the same time as you watch TV. So what do you do? Your goal is to be a better sexier version of you, but, that little devil on your one shoulder seems to be winning out on this round.
Truth is this, I was in this exact situation last night. So instead of putting one or two full chips in my mouth at a time, I went to the absolute bottom of the bag and grabbed some crumbs/pieces and ate tiny pieces for a quite a while I have to admit. But instead of consuming a couple thousand calories I probably ate a couple of hundred...not so bad after all.
It's in these moments when we're "hopped up" wanting to gorge ourselves that we are not moving toward our goal… Here's the trick... if we can just be present in that moment to do something a little bit better than being bad-bad. I am a firm believer that you just gotta give in to your "bad" desires on occasion and enjoy life...have an ice cream, eat some taco chips, have a burger and fries...just not all the time. If it's a treat, have it....infrequently! If you're really really enjoying it...enjoy it without guilt...just don't go brain dead and eat yourself into oblivion. Eat small pieces, have one scoop instead of three, split the burger and fries with a friend who is on the Sexy Over Fifty journey too. I remind myself, if I have "it" every day it's nothing special and it probably doesn't move you/me towards our being sexier goal.
Going a bit deeper on "the trick on how to be present in the moment" is to notice what you're doing...like..."I'm eating taco chips" and being aware, "they probably aren't the best use of my calorie intake" and also being aware, "I really want to do this" so how can I do this but not be really "bad"… And you figure out a way to have crumbs or pieces of chips so after several minutes you've only consumed a few pieces, or you set a limit..."after I have 10 chips, I'm gonna stop" or "after I have one cupcake I will stop", or, "I'm gonna have one scoop of ice cream not five"....etc.
Part of the success is knowing yourself...if you go insane over ice cream and binge (that's me) don't have it in the freezer go out for a one scoop treat. Don't let the waitress put a basket of taco chips in front of you...take a small handful and give the basket back.
For me, having a goal to be SEXY OVER 50...to see myself alive, slim, sexy, vital...in the future always helps me stay true to my vision.

Hadith! (and those that memorised them)
A hafith, or hafiz, had a different meaning from today's times. During the golden era of Islam:
A Hafith was one of the titles given to Hadith scholars, There are 6 different levels/titles( Rawi, Muhaddith, Hafith, Hujjah, Hakim, Ameer Al Mumineen of Hadith)
Mind you, A Hafith was the 3rd one.
SubhanaAllah this is person is an expert in the knowledge of Hadith as a science including its technicalities. The number of Hadith they would know at a mimumum was 200,000! yes 200,000 :)
Mind you this needed to include: The Matn( the words of the prophet SAW in ARABIC ) + The chain of narrators ( every single person in the chain they needed to know, not just their names- but who they were- they knew their biographies- subhanaAllah sometimes there was up to 50 people in just ONE chain)+ The knew the classification of authenticity of Hadith ( it may sounds really simple, but once you learn about the Science of Hadith, you will actually understand what this meant) REMEMBER THEY KNEW AT MIN 200,000 OF THESE!
AND MIND YOU THIS IS ONLY THE 3rd LEVEL/TITLE GIVEN TO HADITH SCHOLARS!
It took them about 40 years to reach this :) So subhanaAllah, next time you think you know a hadith of by heart cause you memorised in English translation and know the first person who transmitted it after the Prophet SAW , think again, you know nothing, these were the true Hadith Scholars, and something we really need to respect and appreciate inshaAllah :)

Tax systems in Latin America and the Caribbean work for the benefit of the elites
The governments of Latin America and the Caribbean must implement fiscal reforms that benefit all citizens and not only economic and political elites, according to Oxfam.
Large-scale partnerships with the private sector could undermine Africans' land rights, drive inequality and damage the environment
After decades of underinvestment, governments in Africa are turning to partnerships with donor aid agencies and large companies or investors to develop the agriculture sector. But this so-called 'mega' public-private partnerships are unproven, risky and represent a dubious use of public funds to fight poverty and food insecurity.
Moral Hazard
African governments are increasingly turning to partnerships with donors and multinational companies to stimulate investment in agriculture, after decades of neglect.
75 years is too long to wait for equal pay: Oxfam urges G20 to act on gender gap
Women won't be paid as much as men for another 75 years. That's according to a report released by Oxfam today, which urges G20 leaders to tackle gender inequality when they meet in Australia later this year.
The G20 and Gender Equality
Across G20 countries and beyond, women are paid less than men, do most of the unpaid labor, are over-represented in part-time work, and are discriminated against in the household, in markets and in institutions.

Antinuclear exhibition: "From a Culture of Violence to a Culture of Peace: Transforming the Human Spirit"
The exhibition "From a Culture of Violence to a Culture of Peace: Transforming the Human Spirit" was created by SGI in 2007 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Soka Gakkai Second President Josei Toda's Declaration Calling for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons (made on September 8, 1957).
The exhibition was launched on September 8, 2007, in New York at a civil society forum to galvanize public opinion toward the abolition of nuclear weapons and the creation of a culture of peace, specifically aimed at mobilizing youth. It has been shown in a total of 200 venues in 24 countries, including showings at the UN Office at Geneva and The Parliament House in Wellington, New Zealand.
The exhibition--available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Thai--consists of four sections with a total of 36 panels.
- Section 1: Ensuring Human Security
- Section 2: Arms-Based Security vs. Human Security
- Section 3: Changing Our Worldview
- Section 4: Global Efforts for Peace
Nuclear weapons stand at the top of the pyramid of violence, the pervasive influence of which hangs heavily over our daily lives as conflicts between communities, distrust, crime, domestic violence and abuse. At the bottom of this pyramid lies the silent, passive form of violence that is a lack of concern for others' sufferings.
The exhibition emphasizes that the fundamental solution to the nuclear issue--as well as a transformation from arms-based security to human security, from a culture of war to a culture of peace--requires a change in the human heart and that we triumph over violence.

There are so many people opposed to this change on the official WoW forums, it boggles the mind. I cannot see how this can hurt anything.
Personally, my boss and a few friends from work play this game as I have recently found out. I really wanted to arena / group with them but until now a DK has really been my only option as my playtime is severely limited by my work schedule.
Now, I can transfer an alt to their faction and receive instant gratification and get out of this game what I have been paying monthly for: FUN. Instead of being limited to a guild of strangers (although over four years they have also become friends) I can now play with RL friends and not have to spend several months of my time just to be able to do so.
I love the change and will embrace it when the time comes.
Yes, there are many people who oppose this. From what I read it's all the oldschool WoW players.
I've played WoW since launch, and they've totally changed the Warcraft universe. The fight between the Horde and the Alliance during the pre-BG days, and now both sides are just holding hands.
I have no problem with the lack of lore for this. I mean gender changes are fine, it's the fact you are backstabbing your faction, and it looks like with no penalty.
"receive instant gratification"
Well, that's really the whole point of this, isn't it -- it's for people who don't want or can't be bothered to spend the time to create a new character and level it. Even starting a super-powered Death Knight at level 55 isn't enough for some people, limited as they are to one per server. Instant gratification: level 80 on demand. Really, I don't see the point of it -- you just KNOW the next step will be to simply create fully geared endgame characters. "Level 80 Orc Warrior? That'll be $80. Visa or Mastercard?" *poof*

On Tuesday by a 94-0 vote, the U.S. Senate moved forward in passing legislation that would restore cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) benefits that were stripped from military retirees by a bill that Congress passed in December.The vote taken on S. 1963 makes the measure eligible for a floor vote in the Senate and protects it against filibusters.
According to American Legion National Commander Daniel M. Dellinger, the U.S. Senate took advantage of an excellent opportunity to show its support for America's military retirees. Lawmakers showed strong solidarity in moving forward on the bill, which would repeal military pension cuts set to be imposed over the next decade after a congressional budget compromise was struck just before the Christmas holidays.
If enacted, S. 1963, would repeal Section 403 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013. This section reduces COLA benefits for military retirees under age 62, at a rate of 1 percent annually over a decade.
Dellinger said he understood why the Senate overwhelmingly approved Pryor's bill. "It's a very succinct piece of legislation that can eliminate these unfair and ill-conceived COLA cuts. While The American Legion is greatly pleased by the Senate's actions, we are going to hold Congress to its word on this matter," Dellinger said. "Anything less than a full repeal is a breach of faith with our military servicemembers, retirees and their families."

It's been close to three years since former Broward Sheriff Nick Navarro passed away. As you might expect, it's been hard on his widow. But what you might not expect is the legal battle that has developed over the sale of his company. Investigative Reporter Carmel Cafiero has the story.
WSVN -- The funeral service for Nick Navarro is the last time most of us saw his widow Sharron.
The former sheriff spent his career fighting crime and was a larger than life figure here in South Florida.
Before being elected sheriff, he ran BSO's organized crime division and fought drug suspects not from a desk, but on the street.
After Nick left office, he and Sharron started a successful security business. But today she says she has lost it all.
Sharron Navarro: "You know Carmel, I lost my husband, just about lost my house, lost my business and I've lost the building that I owned that the business was in all within a year."
A fight over the sale of the Navarro Security Companies is pending in court.
Carmel Cafiero: "The main issue is money. It's all about revenue promised and revenue delivered. The buyer sued Sharron and Sharron sued the buyer."
Also at issue, personal items that Sharron claims were taken by the new owner when the company moved.
She says souvenirs from Nick's career are missing. Among them, two original posters from Scarface given to Nick by actor Al Pacino.
Nick had been a consultant on the movie.
Sharron says several paintings are also missing, including a portrait of Nick that is very important to her.
Sharron Navarro: "Well I'm sick over it. I truly am. I'm very sick about this. The whole thing I'm just sick about, you know, losing Nick's portrait which I loved and any personal items we had together."
But she's not alone.
Private investigator Wayne Black has volunteered to help.
Wayne Black: "Well we're gonna get it back. I don't know how yet but we're going to get it back."
Jamaican table tennis star Joseph Dibbs, seen here in a YouTube video, and his electronics company bought the Navarro Security Companies which now operates from Plantation.
In court papers, they deny taking any property in violation of the sales contract.
Dibbs declined an on camera interview but his attorney sent this statement: "Sharron Navarro's accusations concerning the alleged taking of her personal property are without merit and undeniably have been made in retaliation to the meritorious civil litigation that was filed against her arising from the sale of her security companies nearly three years ago. It is unfortunate that Ms. Navarro is now trying to gain leverage in the lawsuit by asserting such unsubstantiated claims."
The court case over the sale could take years. It's a fight that has taken an emotional and financial toll.
Sharron Navarro: "I can't sleep at night."
Carmel Cafiero: "You're still smiling.
Sharron Navarro: "Well, I'm smiling."
But there's no doubt Sharron Navarro was not smiling after reading this letter from Dibbs' attorney last Friday. It demands she withdraw her claims concerning the missing items.
In part it reads, "The accusations that her property was taken are plainly false and that the few items in Dibbs' possession are undeniably part of the sale."
It appears a courtroom is the only place this dispute will be settled.

This implies there is one for Druids. I'm gonna try finding it, I could sure use some help.
I just finished Deadmines as a bear and had to put up with a ninja looting, mob pulling mage (he got kicked) a brand new player in the guise of a ret paladin, wearing a sheild, using Righteous Fury and a hunter (replaced the mage) who's pet was growling and he'd pull packs too. They had to put up with a tank that didn't know the instance at all. Only the Priest DPS (/wave to Silico if she reads this) and the Druid healer (/wave to, crap forgot your name) were what i'd call "good" players.
I like to think I have an acceptable knowledge of tanking, my main is a paladin tank, but I was struggling to keep agro with such a mix of issues in the group.
I'd like to point out that the paladin did take things on board he removed RF and told us he'd look to get a 2 hander for dpsing in the future. I wish all new players were as willing to learn as he was!

THOMASVILLE, GA (WALB) – Archbold Medical Center had a regional economic impact of more than $630 million dollars in 2007.
The impact includes the creation or sustainment of nearly five thousand full-time jobs. Much of the economic impact Archbold and its many affiliate hospitals and clinics produce is reinvested into medical services they provide.
"That's one of the core values of Archbold," says President and CEO of Archbold Memorial Hospital and Medical Center Perry Mustian.
"We're looking at more than just things like what our direct impact is from salary benefits. We're looking at what we provide the community. Health screenings and community health benefits. The things we do here to try and improve the community health status of not just Thomasville, but the greater Southwest region that we serve as well."
The next step for Archbold is finishing construction on a brand new oncology center in Thomasville which is slated to open this year.

PISCATAWAY, NJ – Former Rutgers University All-American David DeJesus (Manalapan, NJ) was promoted to the Kansas City Royals today and will be in uniform when the Royals face the Texas Rangers tonight in Arlington at 8:05 (ET). DeJesus jumps into the middle of a pennant race, as Kansas City (70-65) trails AL Central Division-leading Chicago (73-64) by just two games.
DeJesus, who played three seasons at Rutgers (1998-2000), was promoted from Class AAA Omaha, where he hit .298 in 59 games after starting the season with Class AA Wichita. He was hitting a team-best .338 with the Wichita Wranglers at the time of his promotion on June 6.
In 215 at bats at the Triple AAA level, DeJesus had 16 doubles, three triples, five home runs and 23 RBI from the leadoff spot, while also swiping eight bases. He was a Class A All-Star with the Wilmington (DE) Blue Rocks in 2002, his first season of professional baseball after being drafted in the fourth round by the Royals in 2000. He missed the summer of 2000 with a broken bone in his forearm and all of 2001 after undergoing "Tommy John" surgery.
"That is great news for David," said Rutgers head coach Fred Hill. "He is a tremendous ballplayer and has worked hard to develop in their system. His speed and defense will be an asset to them during the stretch run. We couldn't be happier for him and his family."
A three-year starter for the Scarlet Knights, DeJesus is the all-time RU leader in runs scored with 203, including a school and BIG EAST-record 85 during the 1999 season. He hit .373 for the Scarlet Knights as a sophomore in 1999 and followed with a .368 average as a junior in 2000. He led Rutgers to three-consecutive NCAA appearances (1998-2000) and the BIG EAST Regular Season and Conference Championship as a junior in '00. He earned BIG EAST All-Rookie honors in 1998 and was a First Team All-BIG EAST pick in 1999 and 2000.
DeJesus is the first Scarlet Knight to make his MLB debut since Angel Echevarria, who broke in with the Colorado Rockies in 1996. DeJesus is joined in the big leagues by Eric Young, who is the starting second baseman for the NL West-leading San Francisco Giants.

At the Geneva Motor Show Volkswagen is presenting a generation of the Phaeton that is equipped with numerous technical innovations. Modifications and new equipment details will already f low into ongoing production starting at the end of May.
Despite a still hesitant start, winter is here. This means of course we can brace ourselves for those strenuous drives at sub-zero temperatures. Faced with ice, snow and generally unpredictable road conditions, a growing number of motorists would like four-wheel drive. However, by no means do all carmakers offer four-wheel drive in their high-volume models. Not so at Volkswagen, where four-wheel drive has now been available in the Golf for 20 years. Besides this current example, Volkswagen also supplies four-wheel drive (4MOTION) in the Passat, Sharan, Touareg and Phaeton, plus the Multivan, Caravelle and Transporter.
The "i" logo will be indicating the most exclusive Individual models.
A new logo: The most exclusive cars of Volkswagen Individual GmbH can now be recognized by its own logo: the "i" for the "Individual" product brand.
The Phaeton has everything you'd expect from a car in this class. It pushes the boundaries of refinement. And is outstandingly built. But, the Phaeton also has a few things you wouldn't expect.
Volkswagen plans to present a new model of its Phaeton luxury car in 2009,but until the new generation,Volkswagen is planning to introduce a slight facelift for next year.
The facelift is just to tie in with the rest of the VW family , until its complete replacement comes.

I'm always looking forward to a slew of new games, and there always seems to be something coming out that I really want to play. That means I sometimes stop playing a game in favor of a new one. Not because it's no good, or because I've lost interest, but because I love to check out something new. Add the fact that my brother is as big a gamer as I am, and we've got a whole lot of games between the two of us. We're always recommending games for each other, and he's yet to play some stellar games that I've got (like Red Dead Redemption and Mass Effect 3) and vice versa. The backloggery has helped us to create an overview of what we've got, and makes it easy for us to keep track of our progress, and there's all kinds of stats and info as well that many of us gamers like to keep track of.
So if you've got some unfinished games lying around, have a look at www.backloggery.com and get crackin' on finishing that backlog!

Long hours, a flurry of activity, less-than-ideal weather conditions and work involving large machinery combine to make wheat harvest a potentially dangerous period.
Wheat harvest is underway in Kansas. Later than normal but the weather forecast should move it along nicely. Corn development is lagging although good progress has been made with the heat and rains many received. However, the lack of rain in the forecast and the high temperatures combined with corn behind in development sets the crop up, especially the dryland acreage, for a rough time during tasselling, silking, and grain fill.
As temperatures go up, bison get smaller.
Tomato plants are one of the most popular plants for any gardener to grow. Whether this garden is your first you have ever tried, or you have been growing your own vegetables as long as you can remember, tomatoes most likely are in it. With their popularity, and having a couple of questions come into the office lately, I decided to share a few articles by Ward Upham, horticulture expert for K-State Research and Extension this week for possible concerns with your plants at home.
Kansas Farm Service Agency (FSA) State Executive Director Adrian J. Polansky announced today that the nomination period for local FSA county committees begins on Monday, June 17th.
It's that time of year again when everything is growing, and people are looking forward to be rewarded for all of their hard work in the garden. With the unseasonal low temperatures this year, your garden might be a little behind normal, but with our recent rains, the weather warming up, and a little bit of care right now, your garden should be getting into the full swing of things.
For Kansans June, July and August are months when some of us return to our roots and visit family in rural communities across the state. Some go back to help with wheat harvest, others go home to spend time visiting with friends they have grown up with. For all it's a time to reflect and remember.
First here's wishing all the dads out there a Happy Fathers' Day. Since the wheat is rapidly ripening and harvest will soon be here, especially after the past week's heat, let's focus on something a bit more upbeat fathers, children, and agriculture.
Kansas State University's quarter-scale tractor design teams are the winners of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers' 16th annual International Quarter-Scale Tractor Student Design Competition, May 30-June 2, in Peoria, Ill.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service's (NRCS) Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) will provide about $175 million in funding for up to 12.6 million additional acres enrollment this year.
Pre-packaged, vacuum-packed, just add water…
Sometimes, when you are taking care of your container plants, you might see a white or yellowish build up around the edges of the pot, or even on the soil itself. Many people wonder what this is, and want to either repot the plant entirely, or sadly, think that there is something wrong with the plant and just stop trying. The cause of this build up is actually very easy to explain, and easy to remove to be able to keep your plants healthy and looking great.
Everyone is waiting to see what the wheat crop will hold. Summer crops are pretty well planted until double-cropping. The area has been receiving fairly significant rain and overall temperatures, while a little cool for corn and sorghum, are great for wheat grain development. Let's take the opportunity to shift gears from crops to our most important agricultural resource – people. Specifically, let's take a look at the people out in the fields and feedlots performing the day-to-day operations vital in producing food, fiber, and fuel.
A U.S. patent has been granted to a Kansas State University-developed "candy" that stimulates the growth, health and reproductive functions of cattle, bulls and other livestock.
As May turns into June, thoughts turn to the wheat crop. Anywhere you drive in Barton County, the wheat fields are waving in the wind. To me, this is a major reminder of how beautiful our great state is, and one of my favorite things to do in the spring and summer is watching the wheat grow and develop. But how well is our wheat doing? Come join us on June 6th at 6 p.m. for a 4-H wheat plot tour to hear more.
Youth from across the state have entered 1,733 head of animals for the 82nd annual Kansas Junior Livestock Show (KJLS). A total of 760 4-H and FFA members from 90 counties will show 126 market steers, 308 breeding heifers, 332 market hogs, 131 breeding gilts, 275 market lambs, 220 breeding ewes, 236 meat goats and 105 commercial doe kids. The competition will take place September 19-22 at the Kansas Pavilions in Wichita
This week will be an important event in Pawnee County. The Alfalfa field Day. As Alfalfa is an important crop produced in Barton County, and insurance coverage is lacking, I would like to share a piece by Jenni Carr, Harper County Agriculture and Natural Resource agent that will give you more information regarding the event. The field day and listening session will be held on Sept. 17th. All Barton County producers may find the field day and listening session beneficial to their production.
Talk to farmers, stockmen and ranchers – most will tell you how much they love their cows. Problem is this humble and in most cases easy-going beast rarely receives the praise associated with the noble show horse or one of the so-called smartest creatures, the squealing pig.
The past week saw parts of the area receive several significant rains. Rains after this last Tuesday don't appear in the calculations of the weekly Drought Monitor Update. The last update indicates that except for sliver of southern Barton County, from Barton County north the area is rated as Abnormally Dry. Directly south conditions are considered in Moderate Drought. This is a big positive step compared too several weeks ago. As always this is a general rating and individual areas may be wetter or drier. And the recent rains not included in this report have left areas north of ...
September is already here, and the first day of autumn is almost upon us. There are still many chores that can be done to help your landscape prepare for the winter to come. I found a few pieces of advice from K-State Research and Extension's horticulture expert on what you can be doing right now to help your cool season grasses stay healthy now, and give them a boost for next spring.
If the EPA's proposed rule to redefine waters of the United States becomes law, farming and ranching as we know it today may end.
The State Fair is in high gear and today is Sept. 7. A strong cold front moved through this past Friday and parts of the area have received fairly significant amounts of precipitation over the last week. Much of the immediate area was listed under the Moderate Drought category last Thursday but parts of eastern Barton, Rice, and Ellsworth Counties are a bit better and rated as Moderately Dry. Some producers question this since they are dealing with fields too wet for equipment while other missed out on the rains. It's almost time to plant the 2015 winter wheat ...
