China's Interesting Times
This year sees a remarkable coincidence of anniversaries that tell the history of modern China. Some will be celebrated by the authorities on a grand scale, others will be wilfully ignored, but all reveal important aspects of the country's past, as Jonathan Fenby explains.
If there is one major country where history is a political instrument, it is China. The treatment of the past has been a function of power since the centuries of imperial rule when new dynasties would set officials to write accounts of their predecessors to prove how the old rulers had forfeited the Mandate of Heaven and how the newcomers were entitled to ascend the Dragon Throne. That has remained the case under Communist rule. Recently, an academic got into trouble for suggesting a reexamination of the Boxer Rising of 1900, which is officially classified as a proletarian movement whereas it was actually the work of unemployed rural youths animated by hatred of foreigners rather than driven by Marxist ideology.

Winfield may not be the same player he once was considering that he is now 36 years-old. He's played 14 NFL seasons with the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings, recording 27 interceptions in the process, but he is perhaps best known for his elite tackling ability.
As of now, Bengals Head Coach Marvin Lewis doesn't sound like he wants to bring in a free agent CB, but perhaps that's because Winfield hasn't made it known he'd be willing to sign with Cincinnati, who certainly looks like a contender now.
It seems crazy that the Bengals would sign another 30-something-year-old cornerback, but now with Leon Hall out for the year, not to mention Dre Kirkpatrick and Brandon Ghee never seem to be healthy, Winfield could not only be a good veteran presence on this team, but could very well see a lot of playing time very quickly.
In his career, Winfield has 27 interceptions, 11 fumble recoveries and 7.5 sacks.

Roanoke Star & Affiliate Clubs Information
15 Top Soccer Clubs form Club Champions League
Roanoke Star Elite program is the elite program for youth soccer players in the Southwest Virginia area. Highlights of the program include:
Elite teams represent the
most competitive teams within the Roanoke Star structure
. These teams are comprised of the strongest and most dedicated players from all over the Southwest Virginia area. Players selected for the Elite team have to tryout each year.
Elite teams aged U13-U19 at Roanoke Star for the 2014-2015 seasons will typically consist of no more than 16 players on their roster. At the U11 and U12 age groups we anticipate 10-12 players on a team. We do allow for some variation, although these numbers are good guidelines.
Players develop at different rates and some players will move from Premier to Elite and vice versa depending on what is best for their development. For instance, a player returning from injury or a player who is not receiving a lot of playing time would be strongly considered as a candidate to play on the Premier team with the intent of regaining fitness levels or confidence.
Premier players who are showing high commitment and performance levels
will be encouraged to train and play with the Elite teams
at various times throughout the season.
Elite teams play in the
Club Champions League (CCL)
. No other league comes close to matching the competition levels of the CCL. It is the strongest league in Virginia! Top quality clubs such as SOCA, Beach FC, FC Richmond, PWSI, Annadale, FC Frederick, Loudon, SYS, FASA participate with their strongest teams in the CCL.
Roanoke Star participates in
Atlantic Soccer League (ASL)
! The aim of the league is to provide top level clubs in the East Coast region a high quality league (boys & girls) in a showcase format that has significant games, limits expenses, and provides a platform for collegiate recruiting. In addition, ASL will create a scouting program to identify the top players and will promote those players through the league website and the regional and national media.
The ASL will allow us to
reduce travel to tournaments and maximize college exposure
for our players as it provides a ready-made, high level tournament format.
Roanoke Star coaching staff has
more licensed coaches than any other club
in Southwest Virginia, including a number of coaches who hold the highest licensing available in the country.
There is true consistency in coaching and the
club follows a developmental program that is guided by the USSF
Roanoke Star has a
tremendous history of placing players in college soccer
programs. Each year a large percentage of our Elite players as well as players from our Premier program are recruited by college coaches.
Elite teams will
practice a minimum of 2 times per week
with some teams practicing 3 times per week.
fees for the Elite program are extremely competitive
. We are the lowest costing CCL club and our fees are actually less than some other area clubs.
Roanoke Star has a number of college coaches with a winning tradition who coach for the program. We are able to keep costs lower as the coaches are dedicated to Roanoke Star and have a
consistent history of helping develop players within Roanoke Star
practice sessions are always meaningful
and consist of planned, age appropriate games and activities.
Players from Roanoke Star
consistently dominate the local high school soccer
scene. Our advanced training is a huge factor in this.
Players at Roanoke Star are
able to benefit from many additional training opportunities
. These include technical development training, goalkeeper training, strength and conditioning training, functional positional training and individual training.
Players are encouraged to communicate with college coaches. Roanoke Star will provide
an extensive college recruitment guide to every player in the U15-U18 age group
. Players will also have their own college recruitment advisor who will meet with the players at their request to help guide them through the college recruiting process.
Danny Beamer will be the college recruitment advisor. Danny
will provide unbiased, realistic and comprehensive advice to players
. Coach Danny is a current NSCAA National Staff coach who teaches coaching courses throughout the USA. Danny has extensive college coach contacts as well as numerous contacts in the professional game in Europe.
Players within the CCL structure are constantly scouted at league games
by other soccer professionals. Currently the coaching staff within the CCL includes a number of current professional players and coaching staff, National team scouts, numerous ODP coaches, USSF Academy scouts, numerous college coaches and National staff instructors. There is no better place to play if you desire to play at a higher level. You never know who is watching!
All players at Roanoke Star will have
the opportunity to go on a European trip
. Every year our U14 Girls teams and U15 Boys teams travel to Europe and participate in the biggest youth soccer tournament in the world, the Gothia Cup. Players fundraise for the trip and many players have managed to offset the total cost of the trip through fundraising efforts.
Elite level players at Roanoke Star have the
opportunity to train abroad with professional clubs
. In each of the past 4 years, players from Roanoke Star have trained in Germany or Sweden with professional clubs. Parker Walsh a 2010 Roanoke Star graduate is currently playing with German 2nd division club Karlsruhe.

The state Senate late Monday night approved a bill to spend up to $180,000 – half from the state, and half from the National Park Service – to develop an Internet website by Jan. 1 to "to highlight that portion of the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail that is located in the state." The bill now goes to the House.
The 31-4 vote was preceded by some historical facts – such as when Democratic Sen. Gary LeBeau mentioned that Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, Comte de Rochambeau, the French nobleman and general who assisted the colonists in the American Revolution, had camped with his troops on Silver Lane, one of the best-known streets in LeBeau's hometown of East Hartford. LeBeau also said that the street\'s name is derived from the fact that Rochambeau "paid his troops in silver."
This bit of history so impressed Sen. Scott Frantz, R-Greenwich, who supported the bill, that he referred to LeBeau, who is of French-Canadian ancestry, as "Senator Rochambeau." Frantz then corrected himself and called him \"Senator LeBeau.\"
Sen. Len Fasano, R-North Haven, said "although I believe it's important for us to cherish our history … $180,000 is a huge amount of money" to establish a website. Also, he said the state\'s $90,000 is coming from a manufacturing grant fund – and this is for tourism, not manufacturing. Fasano and three other Republicans voted against it.
The job of establishing the site would fall to the state Department of Economic and Community Development.
The Rochambeau trail isn\'t confined to Connecticut. It begins in Newport, Rhode Island, where the French general and his more than 5,000 troops landed by sea. After crossing Connecticut, it continues south through New York, where the French joined the Continental Army of George Washington, and then through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland into Virginia. That\'s where combined American and French armies forced British General Cornwallis to surrender in October 1781 at the decisive battle of Yorktown.
Other states through which the trail runs are expected to also set up websites like Connecticut\'s.

Abstract Scrap Collages
We recently started saving up all the scraps from collages and projects with construction paper. Sabrina found a beautiful way to use some of them. Truly, the idea and execution were all hers. She even knew that the best way to glue the scraps onto the white paper was to water down the glue and paint it on the white paper. I LOVE these pieces. I love abstract art and I know I would be drawn to these pieces were they in a gallery or museum.

How cool would those look matted and framed and hung in the kids' room!
Those are great. I really envy you Sabrina's enthusiasm for crafts. I LOVE making art and crafts with my kids, but I'm way more into it than they are...and am usually left alone at the table cutting and gluing away!

By Catherine A. Cardno, Ph.D.
A temporary, reusable bridge opened in South Carolina this month, providing a crossing for a high-volume route after flooding destroyed the existing bridge.
November 26, 2013—South Carolina experienced record-breaking rainfall amounts this summer: an average of 26 in. per month in June, July, and August. The storm water washed out 91 roads and damaged 15 bridges and 52 pipes, according to the South Carolina Department of Transportation. Among this damage was a precast concrete bridge in Pickens County located along Jones Mill Road, a high-volume route that carries vehicles to and from a local high school and a nearby nuclear power station, the Oconee Nuclear Station. To bring the Six Mile Creek crossing back online as quickly as possible, the South Carolina Department of Transportation borrowed an idea more often seen used by the military: they turned to a reusable, galvanized steel crossing that could be erected quickly and then moved to another area of need once the school year ended and a permanent crossing had been built.
Following a significant deluge on August 6, the normally 18 to 24 in. deep creek began running at almost 14 ft, according to Richard "Lee" Floyd, P.E., the state bridge maintenance engineer for the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT), who wrote the special provisions for the reusable bridge that replaced the damaged existing structure. "We had a lot of debris loading [and] the existing bridge went into pressure flow. It damaged the substructure, and the bridge settled and was severely damaged," Floyd says. The piles for the bridge were ripped up by the flow and a 10 to 15 ft section of one of the approach slopes was completely washed away.
On August 9 South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley signed an emergency declaration that enabled the SCDOT to request emergency relief funds from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), according to material provided by the SCDOT. The FHWA approved the request and approved the use of a temporary bridge by the end of the month.
Maintaining community connectivity was particularly important in this location, Floyd says, because of the high volume of traffic that needed to cross the bridge daily to reach the high school. Without the bridge, a 4.6 mi detour was the only option, which created a significant burden on students, their parents, and employees at the nuclear station. "[It] was very important that we get some connectivity reestablished," Floyd says.
An unusually wet summer led to the partial collapse of the original bridge. The normally 18 to 24 in. deep Six Mile Creek began flowing almost 14 ft deep during an early August storm. The storm water also washed away a 10 to 15 ft section of the creek bank. SCDOT
The 150 ft long, 30 ft wide galvanized, high-strength steel bridge is similar in design to a parallel chord truss system, Floyd notes. Anchor bolts attach both sides of the bridge to concrete strip footings, and while one side of the bridge is fixed, a sliding expansion bearing on the other side allows for thermal expansion and shrinking. To protect the footings from any settlement that could potentially twist or damage the steel bridge, Floyd had steel piles added to reinforce the corners of the foundations. The piles extend to the bedrock 12 ft below the surface, he notes. Because of the loss of slope on one side of the creek, the reusable bridge is 30 ft longer than the previous bridge at that location. "I just elected to buy a longer temporary bridge, and then when we get the permanent bridge, they can come in and regrade the slopes and we can do it right," Floyd notes. The bridge meets the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) deflection and HS-20 live loading criteria and has been treated with an antiskid coating that enables the deck to perform in a comparable manner to asphalt. The reusable bridge was also designed to accommodate 1 1/2 to 2 in. of asphalt on the deck, should the antiskid coating not perform as expected, according to Floyd. The temporary installation included reworking approximately 50-75 ft of the approach roadways on either side so that the bridge could be tied into the road, Floyd says. The bridge "is like a big erector set," Floyd notes. "You're essentially building panels, and then hooking the panels together." These temporary bridges can either be built entirely in a staging area and then pulled into position along rollers, he says, or built panel by panel and pulled out over the roadway as the new sections are added. "It just depends on how much room you've got and how comfortable you feel doing it," he says. But like an erector set, keeping track of all the components of your kit is the tricky part. Anyone attempting to use such a system must "make sure before you ship the bridge to the site [that] you inventory every part, every component, bolt, pin—everything," He says. "When you get it to the site, you inventory it again. And when you take it apart, you inventory it again and inspect for damage." Also important, Floyd notes, is security. Because of the remote location, the possibility exists that people will walk off with steel components and try to sell them for scrap metal. At Six Mile Creek security measures and patrols used to protect the more easily accessible elements of the bridge from scavengers. Charlotte, North Carolina-based Crowder Construction installed the bridge. The project represents the third time that the SCDOT has installed a temporary bridge to ensure community connectivity while a more permanent solution was designed and built.

|Scientific Name:
|Mantella cowanii
|Species Authority:
|Boulenger, 1882
Common Name(s):
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Critically Endangered A2acd ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Andreone, F. & Vences, M.
|Stuart, S.N., Chanson, J.S. & Cox, N.A.
Listed as Critically Endangered because its Area of Occupancy is probably less than 10km2, its distribution is severely fragmented, and the extent of its habitat is probably declining; and also because of a drastic population decline, estimated to be more than 80% over the last three generations (estimated at 15 years), inferred from observed shrinkage in distribution and declines in the number of mature individuals, anecdotal information on habitat destruction and/or degradation, and from levels of exploitation inferred from the numbers of animals in international trade.
|Range Description:
|This species occurs on the high plateau of east-central Madagascar from Antakasina, Antoetra, and Itremo with old records to the west that require further investigation. Andreone et al. (2006) located two main population nuclei: the first around Antoetra region, and the second in the Tsinjoarivo area, at about 200 km from Antoetra. It occurs at 1,000-2,000m asl. There is conflicting information on its distribution based on (often very unreliable) hearsay reports from commercial collectors. The Farimazava population next to Antoetra might no longer survive.
|Range Map:

|It was formerly reported as being common, but a drastic population decline occurred recently, as deduced from a dramatic reduction in its distribution and in the number of mature adults (Andreone and Randrianirina 2003).
|Population Trend:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|It is a terrestrial species, living in tiny strips of vegetation along streams and nearby montane grassland savannah and humid stone walls. It lives in underground cavities during the dry season, and it can hide in these during fires. It presumably breeds like other mantellas, with the eggs laid on the ground, and the larvae developing in streams. So far, there are no data are on tadpole morphology.
|Terrestrial; Freshwater
|Use and Trade:
|International trade in this species is regulated by CITES and related national export quotas (Andreone et al. 2006).
|Major Threat(s):
|The fact that the observed decline in this species followed a period of increased exploitation for the international pet trade suggests that populations were over-collected, resulting in a population reduction. Andreone et al. (2006) note that collectors used to collect 2,000 individuals a day, but in 2003 only 100-150 animals per day were collected by an entire village. The species also occurs in a region that has largely been deforested, and the remaining forest fragments are being lost due to subsistence agriculture, timber extraction and charcoal production, fires, and expanding human settlements. However, the species appears able to adapt to open areas, and usually does not penetrate within forests. The Farimazava population next to Antoetra has hybridized with Mantella baroni and might no longer be distinct.
|Conservation Actions:
|It is not known from any protected areas, making protection of the remaining habitat of this species a top priority. A moratorium on the export of Mantella cowani was implemented in 2003 (through the application of a zero export quota on any CITES Appendix II species until populations recover).

Josh Seefried (co-director 2010-2013)
Ty Walrod (co-director 2010-2012)
John Gillespie (co-director 2013-present)
Jeff Mueller (co-director 2013-present)
www.OutServe.org (former website)
OutServe-SLDN is a network of LGBT actively serving military personnel, which launched publicly on July 26, 2010 as OutServe, and is one of the largest LGBT employee resource groups in the world.[1] At its founding it was co-directed by a 2009 graduate of the US Air Force Academy, Josh Seefried (formerly known as JD Smith to protect his identity) and Ty Walrod. There are currently over 7,000 members and 80 chapters worldwide.[2]
On July 2, 2012, OutServe announced that it would merge with Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, an organization that advocates on behalf of and provides legal services to gay and lesbian military personnel and veterans, in October 2012.[3] On October 25, 2012, Allyson Robinson was the first Executive Director of OutServe-SLDN following the merger of those two organizations.[4] She was the first transgender person to ever lead a national LGBT rights organization that does not have an explicit transgender focus.[5]
As part of an extensive reorganization and a review of the organization's mission and finances, which included some public airing of internal dissension and inability to fund its current operations, Josh Seefried resigned from the Board on July 8, 2013[6][7] Less than nine months after hiring Robinson, OutServe-SLDN's board announced it was bankrupt and had to close its Washington D.C. headquarters; on the same day, Robinson announced that her resignation as executive director would take effect the following day, July 12, 2013.[8][9] The board announced that for at least a year it plans to focus on the financial crisis and the payment of debts, followed by an eventual return to providing "advocacy, development, or other support."[10] Since that time, OutServe-SLDN has continued to actively serve its over 7,000 members and in early 2014 engaged with the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals regarding Marriage Equality Cases in Oklahoma and Utah.[11]
Allyson Robinson was the first Executive Director of OutServe-SLDN,[4] following the merger of those two organizations. She was the first transgender person to ever lead a national LGBT rights organization that does not have an explicit transgender focus.[5] U.S. Army veteran Jonathan Hopkins is the former main spokesman, and was mentioned by President Barack Obama at the signing ceremony for the legislation authorizing repeal of Don't ask, don't tell (DADT). United States Military Academy alumna, Brenda Sue Fulton, also the chair of Knights Out, is the former communications director.[12] Brian Schaaf, an Air Force active duty non-commissioned officer, is the current OutServe-SLDN Director of Communications and a board member.
There are leaders for each of the 80+ chapters worldwide, whose identities, as well as those of all members, were kept anonymous under DADT. With the expiration of DADT on September 20, 2011, JD Smith revealed his true identity. One hundred and one OutServe members in total came out publicly with the end of DADT.[13]
As of April 2011, OutServe was divided into 42 regional chapters, with a total membership of over 5,000 members. It included personnel from the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard, both commissioned officers and enlisted. Due to privacy concerns, OutServe's Membership was closely guarded and monitored. Each chapter has an internally selected leader. Several chapters have hosted meetings and social gatherings aimed at improving the morale and quality of life of the members. The structure of OutServe was inspired by the British military's Proud2Serve organization.[14] As of 2014, OutServe has continued to grow and now has a total membership of over 7,000 members in 80+ chapters worldwide.
In June 2010, OutServe sent a letter criticizing the Comprehensive Review Working Group's initial decision to exclude gay and lesbian military personnel from the DADT review process.[12]
On July 26, 2010, OutServe was falsely accused of claiming to be the first organization to directly represent active-duty service members, specifically. Walrod said that OutServe was not interested in claiming credit for the work of other organizations and only aimed to give a voice to personnel silenced by the DADT policy.[15]
At the end of August 2011, the DOD approved the distribution of OutServe Magazine at Army and Air Force base exchanges beginning with the September 20 issue, coinciding with the end of DADT.[16]
OutServe Magazine[edit]
OutServe Magazine is a bi-monthly periodical digital and print publication of OutServe, a non-profit, non-governmental organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender service members in the United States Armed Forces. It was first published in March 2011, while OutServe was still operating clandestinely prior to the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that banned open gays from service. The publication is distributed free of charge and is available for downloading and redistribution.
Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN) was founded as a non-profit legal services, watchdog, and policy organization founded in the United States in 1993. It was dedicated to ending discrimination and harassment of gay and lesbian U.S. military personnel negatively affected by the "Don't ask, don't tell" (DADT) policy which was established that same year. Before being merged into OutServe-SLDN, SLDN documented over 700 violations in the policy's first two years of operation.[17] As of January, 2011, it provided legal aid to more than 10,000 service members.[18]
SLDN was criticized by parts of the transsexual and intersex communities for excluding them from "Freedom to Serve" events and activism during the DADT debate.[19] Others criticized the organization for presenting the "Barry Winchell Courage Award", named for Barry Winchell, an Army private who was murdered after it was discovered that he was dating transsexual activist and actress Calpernia Addams. Winchell's sexual orientation is disputed.[20][21]
In June 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit ruled against SLDN in Cook v. Gates, in which SLDN's twelve clients sought reinstatement in the military after being discharged under DADT.[22]
On October 27, 2011, SLDN sued the Department of Defense, challenging Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and two statutes that detail military benefits.[23] In a November 21 filing, SLDN argued:[24]
Any claim that DOMA, as applied to military spousal benefits, survives rational basis review is strained because paying unequal benefits to service members runs directly counter to the military values of uniformity, fairness and unit cohesion. While there was once a debate as to whether gay and lesbian service members should be allowed to serve openly in the armed forces -- just as there were similar debates regarding integrating the military by race and then by gender -- there never has been any debate as to whether similarly situated service members who do the same work deserve the same benefits.
The case, McLaughlin v. Panetta, was put on hold at the request of both sides in anticipation of the outcome of two other First Circuit cases that were being appealed, Gill v. Office of Personnel Management and Massachusetts v. United States Department of Health and Human Services.[25] On February 17, 2012, the DOJ announced it could not defend the constitutionality of the statutes challenged in the case.[26] The Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG) of the U.S. House of Representatives sought to undertake the defense, and as of May 2012, the parties were disputing BLAG's right to intervene.[27]

I thought it was so funny that everyone had a different name for those jigglies under the arm!
The Fourth Gateway: Manage Your Money
I read this chapter while on the stationary bike, so I think I'll have to re-read it to get the deeper meaning. But from what I read, the author writes that money has often been portrayed as being evil, while not having money has been portrayed as being noble (think Robin Hood, Scrooge McDuck...). He then goes on to write that it's not money that's inherently evil, it's what we do with it. He wrote a little story about how he saw something that a celebrity did with their money, and he though it was totally ridiculous. How dare they spend their money like that! But then he realized that the celebrity worked hard for their money and gave much of their earnings to charity... who was he to judge what she did with her money?
So this got me thinking about my own money issues. I used to be totally careless with my money and credit - racking up bills, buying whatever I wanted at that moment, and not planning for my future. Many thousands of dollars later, I have cut down on my spending and really think about my purchases and where my money is going. I am finally at a point in my life where I can easily identify my values and goals (with much help from SparkPeople!) and when I *do* spend my money, I don't feel guilty about it. All this from a book.
So this book is really helping me to be happy about where I am in life right now, while still working toward fulfilling my goals and living life according to my values.
This afternoon is a little bike ride on a trail (I get to try out the new bike and helmet!!!). The forecast says wind, but a little wind won't kill me; it will help me to figure out the conditions in which I can ride comfortably.
Today I will:
Drink at least 4 Siggs of water
Pack lunch for Wednesday
Clean the dining room table
Fold laundry from Sunday (yikes!)
Have a super day!
Yes, I *did* mean "bare." Over the weekend I found some focus and a goal. Buff arms for the summer. Instead of dance class yesterday morning, which I only enjoy a little bit, I decided to get in some biking (I did 45 minutes on the stationary bike!) and some great arm strength training. I did a bunch of really good arm stuff, and I'm definitely feeling it today. That's a good thing. My triceps are even sore, which rarely happens. These bingo arms have to go! (*note - Bingo arms are the flab under the arm, named after old ladies who yell out "Bingo!" and swing their arms around in the air while they call out.)
This morning was a little swim (I am doing much better with a 20 minute swim rather than a 30 minute swim - those 10 minutes make a huge difference!) and I could feel the soreness in my upper body. I'm excited that I'm able to do my own workouts at the gym to make my muscles work hard. I think it means I'm mentally tougher and able to push myself harder. Wahoo!
It felt really good to be in control of my day yesterday. It was my choice to go to the gym and do strength training instead of dance class. I feel like the classes at the gym were starting to become a habit (for good or for bad) and I was going because I felt like I *had* to go, not because I really *wanted* to go. Now that the weather is starting to get nice (well, not today, it's raining), I'm really determined to spend more time outside getting some exercise.
Today I will:
Drink at least 4 Siggs of water (I'm already at 2!)
Pack lunch for Tuesday
Spend quality time with honey (the cleaning can wait until a night when he is at work!)
Give someone a compliment
Have a super day!
My best friend and I went shopping yesterday at some outdoor shoppes (yes, "shoppes"). It was a beautiful day, I was ready to spend some money (on a helmet and bike rack), and I found a really good place for dinner. I haven't gone shopping with anyone else in a really really long time... I usually like to go by myself so I can try a bunch of stuff on, put it on hold, go back... it gets long and annoying (even to me!). But despite my strange shopping habits, we had a really good time. But I did observe some things that I thought were interesting...
Female salespeople seem to be much nicer to people who are thin; people who are "supposed" to fit into their clothes.
I am much nicer to salespeople now that I am smaller. There was a shop we went into yesterday to look for some shoes - it's a boutique shop, and they sell lots of designer stuff - and the salesgirls were all thin. The funny thing was, I didn't even think twice about it. Usually I'd go into a place like that and think "they must think I'm so fat, I don't even know what I'm doing in here." There was none of that yesterday.
I bought a helmet yesterday at L.L.Bean. It's a Bell with a visor on it. I trust the Bell brand, but something strange happened and I didn't even realize it was strange until this morning. The first question the guy asked me was "what color is your bike?" I answered and he got me a helmet with a visor because I told him I'd be riding on trails. This morning I thought "huh, that was strange. He probably should have first asked me where I'd be riding my bike." I could give a rip what color my helmet is, I just want it to save my life if I crash! Weird.
Didn't get a bike rack yesterday. Even though the guy at LLBean was a little shady (I felt like he thought I was some dumb girl), he did tell me that Thule is coming out with a new trunk rack on May 4th that doesn't use straps, it has a cable system. I checked it out online when I got home, and it looks really cool. He was telling me that it doesn't sway as much and it's much sturdier than a strap system. I think I can wait until May 4th. Until then, I'll take the front wheel off my bike and carefully put it in my back seat.
Today is some stationary bike and strength training. There is a dance class at 9:00, but I am really making an effort to work toward my goal of having muscle-y arms by summer. Focus.
Sunday's to-dos:
Drink at least 4 Siggs of water
Pack lunch for Monday
Choose outfits for the week
Put away purchases from yesterday
Everyday Enlightenment: The Twelve Gateways to Personal Growth is the title of the book I started reading. I always thought these "enlightenment" books sounded dumb because of the cheesy titles, but there are lots of Spark Buddies out there right now reading books like this. I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did!
The First Gateway: Discover Your Worth
This chapter was about making choices that are based on what you think you deserve. I don't want to sound all high and mighty, but I *do* make good choices because I *do* believe I deserve good things. I know I'm worthy; this chapter was good to read, anyway.
The Second Gateway: Reclaim Your Will
This chapter just blew me away. The author writes about willpower - to paraphrase, it's not willpower that most people lack, it's focus. Bam. Hit the nail on the head. I couldn't figure out why I was stuck in this little rut on the way to reaching my goals, and lack of focus is exactly my problem. This chapter had a little bit of educational philosophy in it - do one thing, and do it well. Like in education, it is beneficial to learn one thing but learn a lot about it.
The author suggests that we stop trying to do a million things and instead focus on what we really want. I thought "geez, this sounds exactly like me!" I have been running, swimming, biking, yoga-ing, Pilates-ing, dancing, strength training... and none of it has been focused. My goal is to have visible muscles for the summer. While dancing, Pilates, and yoga are great, they really are not contributing greatly to my goal. I need to focus on those activities that are going to help me reach my goal. I have taken enough classes at the gym for long enough that I know which ones I really like and which ones are just kind of "eh."
For instance, I only kind of like dancing. I tried it a few times, and it's just not my bag. And while it burns calories, I'd rather be burning calories on my bike or on my running legs. So instead of spending my time doing something I kind of like, I'm going to start spending my time doing something I *really* like.
Maybe instead of taking three yoga/Pilates classes each week, I'll only take one (because i really *do* enjoy them) until I am close to or at my muscle goal. My goals are certainly free to change, but until then, I need to choose one goal and give it 100%.
"...the best way to get something done is to do it."
Today is a group run, and then a shopping afternoon to get a bike rack and helmet. Yahoo! I am going with a very good friend. I always look forward to spending time with her. She is a great friend and I know I can always count on her. Neat thing about her - she has a beautiful voice, and she just won a trip to Las Vegas in a karaoke contest. How cool is that?
Today I will:
Drink at least 4 Siggs of water
Read some more about enlightening myself
Plan next week's workout schedule (based on my recent enlightenment)
Have a super sunny day!
I learned something very important last night. If I have a 6:15 class at the gym, I can just forget about the to-do list. When I come home, I have dinner and veg out on the couch. Good lesson.
This week was a really good week for me. I finished my school work! I can concentrate on my fitness and "ME" goals now. Last night I reflected a little bit on April, and it was kind of a bust as far as my goals. Sure, I did my workouts, but I did not eat very well. I went out to eat too often, I drank too much wine, I had too much takeout on days when I didn't feel like packing my lunch... Next Thursday is my measurement/weigh-in day with my trainer, and I'll be amazed if I didn't gain any weight.
But on Wednesday, it was a new Carrie. I woke up, went swimming, had a super day at school, and came home in a really good mood. It was a little strange to be at the gym and thinking "I don't really *have* to get home for any reason." Nice.
Tonight I'm going to re-vamp my goals (I thought I'd do this last week, but that idea feel flat on its face) for the rest of April, and I'll start thinking about May.
And finally, thank you all for your wonderful encouraging and congratulatory words. I haven't met any of you in person, but that doesn't diminish the support I've gotten from you. There have been days when I wanted to drown myself in Ben and Jerry's, eat brownies until I have to roll into bed, and drink wine like a sot, but I didn't. So thank you!!!
Have a super Friday!

Crayon- G Dragon
G Dragon is making a solo return. I hate to pick a favorite member of Big Bang, but G- Dragon and Taeyang are tied. G Dragon has such a quirky sense of style and personality and it plays over into his music. This video is the definition of entertainment.
Ah, I love this video. G Dragon never fails to embrace his derpiness. "Why so serious?"
G Dragon is my 2nd fav from Big Bang! I love his crazy style and personality. Follow eatmusictastebeats.com

i want to learn ruby on rails... so could you help me by tell me which book is Good for me :goof:
Hi php-user, welcome to the forums,
Don't forget to checkout this forum's sticky thread http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=281181
I worked through each of the tutorials I posted about and they helped me.
And you can check out the free sample chapters from this SitePoint book to see if you might like it http://www.sitepoint.com/books/rails2/
I'm completely new to web programming, but I was able to build and launch a site (called myworldearth.com) in a short time by reading these books & googling as needed:
1) Build your own ruby on rails web applications (Patrick Lenz; Sitepoint)
2) Practical Rails Social Networking Sites (Alan Bradburne; Apress)
Other useful books:
- Ruby on Rails E-Commerce (Hellstein, Laine; Apress)
- Agile Web Development with Rails (Hansson; Pragmatic Bookshelf)
Rails is still young and changing fast. I wouldn't direct anyone to the DHH book at the moment, because too much of it is outdated and parts of it just don't work in current rails. Lenz's book is pretty good (I used the first edition of it myself to get me started, back in the rails 1.x days) and from what I've seen the new edition keeps up pretty well with the current state (at the very least it'll be far more helpful than the DHH book).
But probably the best place to learn rails is the web. There's a bunch of tutorials (both video and text) easily discoverable via google. I'm unaware of your current skill level, but there's a lot of good info you can glean simple from the Rails API pages and doc pages. And Ryan Bates' Railscasts are also terrific.
I found the tutorials over at buildingwebapps.com REALLY useful. You'll want to sign up for their email list so you can get updates when they add new lessons, but don't worry, they've never spammed the list. In fact, I think the only emails I've gotten have been notices for new lessons. The first few are audio only (with transcripts online), but the last 3/4 or so of the lessons available so far are screencasts. Oh, and these lessons are free.
From their site, I also learned about peepcode.com. They offer paid screencasts, tutorials and PDF books covering RoR. Looks like good stuff, haven't tried any yet though. But they're pretty inexpensive given the time they'll probably save.
If learning Rails is a long-term decision for you then I have to recommend getting to grips with Ruby. Rails changes a lot, so some of the best resources for learning it are all online because books can get dated quite quickly when Rails undergoes new releases. If you have a solid grasp of Ruby it can make life a lot easier, as you will be able to understand the changes that have been made.
In this regard I can recommend Beginning Ruby: From Novice to Professional by Peter Cooper (Apress, 2007). It covers the basics of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and Ruby syntax and is aimed at someone who is new to programming in general. It's a gentle but fantastic introduction.
From there, BuildingWebApps.com, peepcode.com, railscasts.com are all very useful in getting up to speed, along with other online tutorials.
Use this: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/
I am also learning ROR, and this baby is the way to go :)

So let's say, for example, that a prospect like offensive tackle Taylor Lewan was to slide further in the first round than expected. What if this player, who would have been a top-10 selection in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft, ends up available once the Cowboys go on the clock on opening night?
Here's a couple of things to consider:
First off, current right tackle Doug Free will become a free agent following this season and, despite a nice rebound following last offseason's paycut, Jones will have to think seriously about how to deal with that. Do we assume that Jones would allow Free to test the free-agent waters and likely look towards FA himself in acquiring the next right tackle responsible for protecting his somewhat fragile franchise quarterback?
Perhaps Jones offers Free another extension?
Both of those questions should be avoided.
The entire discussion regarding Free is wiped away by selecting Lewan. This would not only represent long-term stability at both offensive tackle spots, but it would also help to illustrate a franchise that's planning ahead, regardless of what Jones or anybody else might say about not rebuilding or winning right away.
This much is all but certain: Dallas will have to have strong offensive output in order to have any chance at the playoffs following next season. This happens to be the strongest side of the ball, so it might not be a bad decision to make a move on a guy like Lewan which could actually elevate the quality of play at right tackle in a short time. The value aspect of this scenario would be incredible.
I can't think of any other offensive position, takeaway quarterback, that Jones would consider addressing in the first round. Wide receivers can often attract Jones' attention and we could also have a similar discussion regarding Dallas' hypothetical selection of wide receiver Sammy Watkins, the draft's most talented pass-catcher and a receiver that can fly on the football field.
The main point here is that the Cowboys are much closer to having an offense that can be dominant than they are to having a defense of the same caliber. My guess is that Dallas spends numerous selections on defensive linemen of all kinds next month.
This doesn't mean that Dallas will address this area to begin with, however. The '14 NFL Draft features a deep and dynamic class of talent. There will be plenty of defensive options for the Cowboys to consider in the middle rounds.
Yes, the offensive coaching staff is quite crowded and it's anybody's guess as to who's actually going to be doing what in terms of the offensive roster and game plans. Last year's declaration of Callahan as the new play-caller didn't seem to stop Garrett from actually calling the plays for possibly the entire season.
Either way, an offensive line that could include the likes of two guards weighing close to 700 pounds and recent first-round selections everywhere else in left tackle Tyron Smith, center Travis Frederick and right tackle Lewan looks awfully tempting.
Just food for thought as the draft draws closer and closer. The landscape will continue changing over much of the next few weeks as Jones and his staff prepare their draft board. This franchise would do well to simply take the best player available if the positional value is there. Offensive tackle, depending on who you ask, is either the second or third most valuable position in professional football.
Unless you already have two franchise offensive tackles, you should take one.
Dallas only has one at this time.
The Cowboys could certainly begin the draft with an offensive player—and they might not be wrong in doing so.

Mark Richard Hamill (born September 25, 1951) is an American actor, voice artist, producer, director, and writer. Hamill is best known for his role as Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy. He is also well known for voice acting characters such as the Joker in the DC Animated Universe, (primarily in Batman: The Animated Series), Fire Lord Ozai in Avatar: The Last Airbender, the Hobgoblin in Spider-Man: The Animated Series, and Chanukah Zombie on Futurama.
Hamill was born in Concord, California and raised in Oakland, California, the son of Virginia Suzanne (née Johnson) and William Thomas Hamill, who was a captain in the U.S. Navy. He was one of seven children: two brothers, Will and Patrick, and four sisters, Terry, Jan, Jeanie, and Kim. As a child, his father's career meant numerous relocations, and he attended different schools throughout his childhood. In his elementary years he went to Poe Middle School, then for 10th grade, he attended Annandale High School located in Annandale, Virginia, but eventually ended up graduating from Nile C. Kinnick High School located in Yokosuka, Japan. He majored in drama at Los Angeles City College.

Demaryius Thomas (DEN): Thomas has had a fantastic season, and hopefully you took my advice and grabbed him last week for the guaranteed 2x bonus in the Divisional Round. Though he didn't do much of anything (four catches, 13 yards) when the Broncos last played the Ravens, that was because Denver completely dominated the game from the start and didn't need any big plays. I expect the Ravens to keep the game closer this time around, prompting Peyton Manning to look to his leading receiver more often. I also expect the Broncos to win this game, and possibly the next game, so Thomas could get you some nice bonuses down the road.
Tight End
Rob Gronkowski (NE): Gronkowski is the best fantasy tight end in the league when he's on the field, which is why I advised taking him last week for the 2x bonus this weekend. I don't think I need to explain much here - if you had him last week, you should obviously play him; if your tight end from last week got knocked out, pick up the record-setting player who had the most fantasy points per game among tight ends this year.
As I said last week, kickers are always kind of a crapshoot. I'll be sticking with Shayne Graham, who I had last week. If your kicker got knocked out, I'd probably go with Matt Prater. He'll be kicking through the thin air in Denver, and his team will likely be in a position in which they won't be forced to be aggressive, can sit back and settle for field goals.
Denver Broncos: I'll be sticking with the Seahawks, as I had them last week, but if you're in need of a new defense and are not getting a 2x bonus, I'd go with the Broncos. They are ranked 2nd in total defense and are playing against an offense that struggles on the road. In addition, the Ravens struggled to put points on the board the last time they faced the Broncos' defense. With the Broncos' Super Bowl chances looking pretty decent, they're a solid option for your defense.

A women named Sue, the from Consumer Protection, gave us the direct line for Jennifer Kelly. She is working on the Gillece investigation in the Allegheny area. Her direct phone number is 412-565-7653. She contacted us after we sent a lengthy detailed letter explaining our situation. I suggest you do the same. Send a detail letter of what happened to the following address:
Pittsburgh Regional Office:
Office of Attorney General
Bureau of Consumer Protection
564 Forbes Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA 15219
(412) 565-5135
Make sure the letter is formal. If you happen to go to court, they might want to make an appearance so let them know.b076a7d
Jennifer Kelly, where are you? Aug 06, 2012
Is response to post below. Good luck in court brother. I too went to civil count in Coraopolis against Gillece and it was a bad experience. I ended up not having to pay what I would have, but my court experience was nothing like Judge Judy as I was hoping for. It turned into just arguing the the judge doing nothing to help find any truth. But good luck brother. We need to take them to court every time.
I am the original poster of this and I am sorry to say the Attorney Generals office seems to do nothing. I can only hope future posters keep pestering Jennifer Kelly and the AG office to the point where they hopefully jsut want people to shut up and therefor do something.
I have posted a negative review on Angieslist, every google results, yelp, yahoo, here there and everywhere else. Thats my only recourse. We need to facebook Jennifer Kelly.
bob lee gillece and it's terro Jul 09, 2012
I read the comment from "WE'RE ALL SCREWED" here's the thing! Gillece is huge!! and they pay alot of taxes to the city! don't you know that it's all about money for the polititions, Gillece is to big to fail, they charge so much because Who do you think is paying for all of the bill boards you see every where???i myself will be in court on July 19 in Charloroi pa, call the magistrates office at 724-483-6373, come and support me and the cause to fight them and their abusive tactics, i contacted channel 4 news a week ago about my personal case, they have not responded!!!! Robert Lee0 0 Reply
We're all screwed Jul 07, 2012
Jennifer Kelly, the AG and the BBB aren't going to do a thing! The person below me is right it's been well over 2 years now, how long does it take to get an investigation going? Nothing will ever happen and Gillece will continue their unethical ways and will continue to rip off and prey upon people. The only way they're going down is if "WE" all take steps to bring them to their knees. We need to do everything we can to get the word out about Gillece by not just posting on complaint websites but by going to the news and the media and making them run more stories on Gillece and their scamming ways. We need to protest outside of their building and hand out material to passerbys in cars. We need to start a petition to demand action from the Government. Lets be serious about this we need to stop sitting back expecting the AG to take care of this for us. We all know whose side their on now and it's not ours! If Gillece ripped you off or ripped off someone you know you should be mad as h*ll like I am and I can't do this alone people I need you all to be with me we need to team up. File a class action lawsuit, we can't let these scumbags win and keep winning. They have destroyed lives and robbed people blind, scammed elderly and vulnerable people, used scare tactics to sell unneeded and overpriced services. Show this company that Pittsburgh will not sit back and continue to let them do this to our great city and hardworking people. Their actions are disgusting and... disgraceful and they are literally destroying lives. Show more0 0 Reply
