Rated 5 out of 5 by sinkingrocket from Terrific Boot These boots fit great, but be sure to order a half size smaller. I ordered my usual dress shoe size of 9W and they were too roomy and too long. The 8.5W is just right. Be prepared to have an extra couple of inches of toe room. The extra toe length due to the pointed shape is new to me as I haven't previously owned a pointed toe shoe before. It reminds me of the formal shoes that come with a tux rental. It didn't take long to get used to the long toe as the length isn't really noticable when walking. I have a slight hangup about my feet looking small when wearing slacks that don't taper on the bottom, dwarfing the appearance of my shoes. The longer length of these shoes prevents this. They look great with my dress slacks or jeans. The insole is Adiprene by Addidas and is really comfortable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mikey from Very comfortable and stylish! These boots are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. I think the comfort comes from the specially designed insoles that were developed by Adidas. They are literally like walking on air. The only break-in required is from the upper cuff that can cause some temporary discomfort just above the ankle. I have received many positive comments on the style and color (brown). I also like the grip of the outer soles. We have a lot of ice in the winter and these boots deliver solid footing.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Nicknicknick from Good Shoe - Terrible Shoe Laces The shoe is performing to my expectations. That being said, and as with the last pair of shoes I bought from Rockport, the laces are these way-too-thin-and-delicate strings that I know will break and need replacement before too long. Come on Rockport. If I wanted my waterproof shoes to be delicate, they would not be waterproof!

Rated 5 out of 5 by g3motownsaxman from Comfortable,Stylish, A Real Winner! I'm glad I ordered these from the Rockport outlet store online. I was a little concerned about the sizing. But, as was stated by other buyers they run a little bit big (about 1/2 size in my opinion). At any rate they fit me & were comfortable the first time I wore them. I would definately recommend these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by King_K from The best boot I've owned in years This boots are very comfortable. I bought them 3 years ago. Unfortunately the back sole has started to tear but otherwise, I love these shoes. I wish Rockport would make more sizes and make them available in both Canada and US. They can be worn with a suit or with jeans. Great overall shoe.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Personal Experiences of a Prostate Cancer Survivor
Ron Kauffman
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
I'll try to be descriptive, yet brief.
I am a 51 year old man, who since I was 48, had been getting PSA readings in excess of 4.0 during my annual physical exams.
At first, little was thought about these 4.2, 4.3 readings, but when they started to edge up even more, my family physician suggested I see a urologist.
I went to a urologist, and as "luck" would have it, I draw a female physician. What can I possibly discuss with her that she can relate to regarding my symptoms and concerns.
Her name is Dr. Elaine Rosner and she practices in Boulder, Colorado. Elaine was all business. She asked me about symptoms other than the high PSA. I told her that I had begun to experience a decrease in the "power" of my ejaculations during sex with my wife. Elaine said she understood my concern, but I honestly didn't know how any woman could know what I felt, or how concerned I was becoming over both my physical problem and the rising PSA scores. I was certainly becoming comfortable with Dr. Rosner, and even though I doubt she could understand precisely my diminishing sexual performance, we settled into a good working first name relationship, which in itself bears some explanation.
When we first me, during my initial urology appointment, Dr. Rosner had walked into the exam room, introduced herself as "Dr. Rosner" and basically told me to..."drop 'em." She went on to explain as she gloved up, what she was doing, and that it was nothing to be concerned about, which I thought was easy for her to say, since I was the man being prodded. It was as that moment, as she completed the digital exam, that I recall saying to her, since she and I were about to become "intimate" friends, I would call her Elaine, and she could call me Ron, since she was insistent upon scheduling further check-ups.
Elaine's first course of treatment for me, since she found nothing terribly unusual during her first digital exam of me, was to try Cipro, 500 mg twice a day for about 2 weeks, just to eliminate any prostatitis or low grade infections. After all, I was too young and too strong to suggest any other possibilities.
After the Cipro treatment, my blood was retested, and my PSA score continued to climb, over 5.0 now. So, Dr. Rosner suggested a biopsy. Frankly, having never experienced a biopsy, I wasn't too frightened, and I figured it might clear up the rising PSA question.
I recall, as I lay on the exam table, "this must be what it feels like to be a woman, with a male OB-Gyn poking and prodding around my insides, and telling me that, "...this will feel cold...now you'll feel some pressure...okay, now you can watch the monitor over there and we'll get some pictures of this as part of the procedure."
Even though I was told by Elaine's female nurse assistant that the biopsy would feel like a snap of a rubber band inside me, I wasn't prepared for the first "hit". I felt as if I had just been lightly kicked in the groin, nothing severe, but a slight wave of nausea...This is where I decided that watching the monitor was not for me. I clearly remember counting the "snaps" of the biopsy, as a total of 6 tissue samples were removed within a few minutes that felt like hours. I got up, left the office, and drove home to wait the 4 days for the results.
Although it was over 2 years ago, I vividly remember making the call to check on my results. I had told my wife, "...no sweat, everything will be fine", and for my friends, I "acted" as calm as usual. Inside, I had spent a very long 4 days wondering if I had cancer. When at last I made the call to Dr. Rosner's office, one of her staff simply stated, once I had identified myself, that the results were negative, and said goodbye.
I'm sure I said thanks, but the tears of relief that filled my eyes as I sat in my office at work made it hard to say anything but a silent, "Thank God". I didn't have cancer. I was healthy. So I forgot about cancer for at least 6 months, until my next PSA test was scheduled, and moved on with life.
The results of my first biopsy were negative, but subsequent PSA blood tests continued to reflect increasingly higher readings. Something was definitely screwed up. The results during sex, although not impacting performance, were still not what I expected, nor were the PSA scores of 5.4. So, Dr. Rosner suggested we wait, and check PSA again every 3 months, which we did, showing continuingly increased PSA test scores, reaching as high as 6.4.
Elaine once again suggested that I undergo a second biopsy. This time I knew what to expect, and was less than excited. But I was also concerned that something was not right, and it was happening inside of my body. So, I agreed to the test. It was even more uncomfortable and anxiety-causing because I knew what to expect. And counting up to the 6 tissue samples seemed more excruciating than before, but it was over in minutes, and again, I drove home with hopes of a positive outcome.
Several days later, I again received the results which continued to show no cancer. At this point, Dr. Rosner and I agreed that I had a high baseline PSA, but would continue to monitor things about every 3-6 month with PSA testing. After all, how many biopsies can one do with no results?
During the next several months, because of my EMT training and interest in medical procedures, Dr. Rosner invited me to attend a Radical Prostatectomy procedure on one of her patients who had agreed to allow me into the operating theater to watch. It was incredible. I was reminded of the joke that if you really like eating in a particular restaurant, you should never ask to see the kitchen.
The operation looks and is radical. It took just over 3 hours, and I watched from just a few feet away as the bladder, ureter, urethra, and prostate were all cut, disconnected, and then reconnected and replaced. All but the deadly cancerous prostate. I recall saying to Dr. Rosner that it was fascinating, but given a choice, I would never ever want to have that procedure done to me. It just looked like it hurt. And to be catheterized for weeks afterward, no thank you.
And so the weeks and months went by, and an opportunity to relocate to another state presented itself to me and my wife, and by the end of summer, 1995, we became residents of Jupiter, Florida, bidding farewell to Dr. Rosner, prostate biopsies, and our friends in the Boulder area.
On my 51st birthday, November 1995, I scheduled my annual physical exam, including a PSA test. Everything came back perfect - except my PSA. 7.2!! I couldn't believe it. I was immediately sent for a retest, and the retest came back at 6.4. Better, but not good.
My HMO physician sent me off to my newest urologist, Dr. Henry Baldwin. Surprise! He wanted to do a biopsy. By this time, I felt as if I could do the damn things myself. We scheduled the test, not as uncomfortable or disconcerting as the first two, but never-the-less, not fun. Because of my HMO, I had to wait 2 weeks for the tissue sample results. That can be an eternity to a potential cancer victim.
I returned 2 weeks later to Dr. Baldwin's office. The doctor asked me how I felt after the biopsy, and if I was doing okay. I was actually lulled into a sense of security by the small talk, figuring he would be somber and all business if the results were bad. But here we were talking and chatting, and I began to feel buoyed in spirit.
That's when Dr. Baldwin said, "The results came in, and you have a Gleason score of 6; you have prostate cancer." I felt like I had just been punched in the stomach. I sat there, and the first words I said to Dr. Baldwin were, "That sucks, that really sucks." He said, "Yeah, it does." Then I said, "Are you certain? I want a second opinion." This was on February 15, 1996.
I paid for a second opinion, and got the same answer. I had prostate cancer. I remember saying to Dr. Baldwin that I couldn't take time off from my business, I'm a consultant, and if I don't work, bills don't get paid. I also remember what he said to me, " I really don't give a damn if your bills get paid. I'm your doctor, you have cancer, and I care about making you well. What good will your money be if you're dead?" Now that got my attention.
We discussed options, radiation, surgery, implants, cryo-therapy and combinations of treatments. But Dr. Baldwin would not be swayed. He said surgery, and I said, I need time to do my own research. And I did. For 2 weeks, I called the American Cancer Society, my former family doctor, Dr. Rosner, specialists, cruised the Internet, and kept coming up with the same consistent answer - surgery. But, I wasn't convinced, yet.
During this time, I received a phone call from a friend of my sister's ex-husband, a man I didn't even know, and to this day have never met. But he had just undergone the surgery for prostate cancer, and because of his research and experience, was on a one-man crusade to get me into surgery and off the fence. His name is Robert, and although we have never met, I believe Robert saved my life.
Robert was relentless. He sent me pamphlets. He cajoled me, bullied me, told me I was being a wimp, and cure was only available through surgery - He quoted the 10-15-20 year statistics. He knows his stuff. "Besides" he said, "it really isn't a big deal." I don't know if Robert Simms wore me out, convinced me, or scared me, but I finally decided that if this was appendicitis, I'd want the appendix removed, so why not remove the prostate?
Working with Dr. Baldwin, I began giving my own blood transfusions so I would receive my own whole blood back during the surgery, which was now scheduled for April 11, 1996 - 33 of the longest days of my life away.
My family, my sister and wife in particular rallied to my side, and we decided to ask one of the world's experts about the surgery, well in advance of its occurrence. My sister called the offices of a urologic surgeon who has been a pioneer in the development of the nerve-sparing prostate procedure I was to undergo. To our pleasant surprise, his office took the call, and informed us that one of his former students and colleagues was now practicing in the West Palm Beach area, and might be available to assist in the surgery.
We called the former colleague, a Dr. Ned Black. Dr. Black was happy to assist Dr. Baldwin, but he was not covered by my insurance, and if I used him under my HMO plan, and he billed the insurance carrier, I would be exposed to more than 50% of the total cost of the entire hospital and surgical event. Believe me, economics are a terrible reality of health care.
Dr. Black and I worked out an agreement suitable to me and my wife, which was that he would assist, and we would pay him privately, directly, as part of the team, without impacting the 100% coverage offered by my HMO. Dr. Baldwin too, was pleased to have such a skilled surgeon join the team, and had supported our efforts to recruit him.
As the weeks passed, my fears, which had bordered on stark terror as a victim destined to die of prostate cancer, began to subside. My blood pressure stayed high, but by the time the week of surgery arrived, I was reconciled and ready to handle it.
I completed the 2 day pre-surgery liquid diet fast and multiple laxative and enema inconveniences, and at 4:30 AM on Thursday April 11, I entered the hospital. I was in good spirits, convinced that attitude is more than half the battle. By 7:00AM I was in a hospital gown, resting in a holding room, talking to my wife. By 7:30, I remember nothing until I awoke at 11:30 AM in ICU/recovery.
I had opted for an epidural block anesthetic, combined with general anesthesia, and upon waking, was fairly lucid, asking Dr. Baldwin if they had successfully saved the nerve bundles which, if removed, assure impotence. I was told that both sets of nerves were spared, and I had done well, and things looked good. But the complete pathology would take several days to be finalized.
Let me digress for a moment, to discuss the fears of incontinence and impotence. My wife and I talked about the risks prior to surgery, and we both agreed that although sex was an important component of our marriage, it was not the basis upon which our love existed. If the nerves allowing erection were removed during surgery, we would find a way to either get around the problem, or learn to live with it. But LIVE became the operative word here.
Incontinence is actually the more frightening aspect of the surgical procedure. What 51 year old, fairly athletic, and very active man wants to visualize himself wearing Depends for the rest of his life? Right, not one. And that becomes the enemy, not impotence, but getting back to normal.
I was out of bed the day after surgery, walking, pushing a pole to which there were enough wires and IV drips to make me look like the $6 million man. But true to Robert Simms's prediction, the pain was minimal, and very tolerable. And recovery is very fast. I was disconnected from everything, pain medicine included, by Sunday, and walking around with just the catheter. On Monday, I was released from the hospital.
Four days, 4 days! Incredible. And the catheter. As a man, I can say that the thought of being catheterized was by far the most frightening aspect of the entire cancer ordeal. In fact, my imagination in general worked thousands of overtime hours for nothing.
The surgery was a breeze. The catheter is a mild inconvenience. I've been out walking every day since I left the hospital, and the remaining 2 weeks until its removal will go by, not as quickly as I would like, but it's not too high a price to pay. In fact, there is a great deal of humor that can be found in that and other aspects of the surgery.
Friday, April 19 was another milestone day. The results of the pathology came back. Was I to be listed as cured, or did the cancer get away from the prostate, and was I looking at radiation, chemo, or more surgery.
It was close. Everything came back perfect. The cancer had come within 1 millimeter of breaking out of the prostate, but in fact had been caught in time. Time. If there is any message that can spell the difference between success and anything else in the detection of this cancer, it is being tested early and annually, and acting quickly once cancer has been found. One millimeter, a few human hairs of tissue thick, was all that remained between me being cured, and a survivor, and my ongoing war with cancer.
I was having a few minor but annoying leaking problems with my catheter and called for an appointment. When I saw my urologist , he was satisfied with my progress, and being 18 days post-operative, agreed to remove the catheter.
The removal of the catheter was relatively quick, simple, and painless. The relief of no longer being attached to a tube is enormous. What is even better, is that I have already discovered two crucial facts concerning my recovery, the first of which even surprised my doctor: 1) I am potent, and experienced several erections even while wearing the catheter; 2) I regained almost complete bladder control within hours of the removal of the catheter - virtually dry as a bone with no leakage.
I will wear a small protective liner for a few days, until I am sure that I have full control, and as the Kegel exercises further improve the muscle tone of the bladder sphincter, I have no doubts that I will be truly fully recovered within a week. I continue to take it easier than usual, but exercise daily by walking, and I feel great!
I have no doubts that the prayers of my friends, associates, and my family with their strong support; my wife, Lisa; the caring work of some fine doctors and incredible nurses; plus some divine intervention all combined to bring me to the point where I can say that I am a survivor.
I look forward to many years of carrying my message of hope, a positive attitude, and continued vigilance to others who will be facing this challenge in the years to come. It is my hope that research on the part of prostate cancer victims, survivors, and doctors will all combine to someday make even the process that I underwent a memory of the past. Until that day, I can only add my prayers to those of the next man to hear the chilling words, "you have prostate cancer."

The weather is great, that meeting or your holiday can begin - but you feel exhausted. What you have is "jet lag", the well-known phenomenon that troubles many long-haul passengers during their first few days in a far-off country. For while the sun has long been shining, your body thinks it's still at home, where it is now the middle of the night or early morning.
People normally live in a 24-hour rhythm. While we sleep, the heart and breathing rates slow, the blood presssure drops, the muscles relax and the mental and psychomotoric efficiency declines significantly.
A rapid change to another location in another time zone disturbs phases in the human daily rhythm. It interrupts not only people's usual cycles of sleeping and being awake, but also the regular course of a great number of disparate bodily functions that operate in a 24-hour rhythm.
Tiredness and slowed reactions combined with memory and concentration problems are the most frequent results. People can also feel exhausted and suffer headaches and a sense of nausea due to the interruption of their normal sleeping time.
Jet lag effects are more marked after an Eastbound flight than a Westbound one. The reason for this difference is that the human "inner clock" tends towards a rhythm of more than 24 hours. So if you fly from East to West (such as from Germany to the USA), the day is longer - which tends to suit the biological rhythm. The human body adjusts to the new time zone about 20 percent faster than after an Eastbound flight (such as from Germany to Thailand), because flying East means it "loses" several hours.
General tips on countering jet lag
During the flight
- Set your watch to the local time in your destination country soon after boarding your aircraft. This will help you prepare yourself mentally for the new time rhythm that awaits you
After arrival
- Try to get into the daily rhythm of your destination. That means eating at local mealtimes and not going to bed until after sundown
- Try to get enough sleep during the first night after your arrival
- Avoid strenuous activities as much as possible in the first two days after arrival to give your body time to get used to the new daily rhythm
- Avoid taking sleeping pills and melatonin, because they confuse the human organism even more
- Spend as much time as you can in the open air - daylight helps the body to adjust faster to the new surroundings
- On short trips, try to maintain as much as possible the day-night rhythm of your homeland - that will prevent 'double jet lag'
- If possible, stay at home for one or two days after your journey. This will help you to relax while you get used to the daily rhythm in your homeland again
Westbound flights
Before your journey
- Some days before your journey try to partially get used to the new daily rhythm at your destination by going to bed one to two hours later than usual
- If possible, plan your arrival for about noon so that you can use the brightest light of the day
- Plan important appointments or meetings in your destination country for a time of day when you feel most awake. After a Westbound flight, this means in the morning
During the flight
- Try to stay awake during the flight
- Move around and drink a lot of non-alcoholic beverages in order to fight your natural need for sleep
- Eat high-protein food (cheese, fish, meat, eggs, dairy products) - this will help you to stay awake longer
After arrival
- Don't give in to a feeling of tiredness. Go to bed only after sundown
- Stay in the daylight as much as you can. Light impedes production of the hormone melatonin, which makes people tired and sets the human organism to sleep mode
Eastbound flights
Before your journey
- Try to adjust to the new daily rhythm some days before your journey. This means going to bed earlier and getting up earlier
- Plan important activities for a time of day at which you feel most awake. After an Eastbound flight, this means in the evening
During the flight
- Try to sleep during the flight
- Eat high-cabrohydrate food (such as fruit, potatoes, pasta, rice, yoghurt, fruit juices). This stimulates your natural need for sleep
- Fruit-flavored tea is also good for sleep
- Try autogenes training or relaxation exercises instead of sleeping pills
- Avoid alcohol as a way to 'make you tired'. It has a stronger effect than on the ground, dehydrates the body and also delays the human organism's adjustment to the new time zone at your destination

China Brief is a primary source of timely information and cutting-edge analysis for policy-makers, intelligence and military personnel, academics, journalists, and business leaders. The publication is edited by Peter Mattis. In addition to its audience in the United States, China Brief is widely-read in East Asia, where articles are regularly translated and reprinted in leading newspapers, journals, and websites.
The Eurasia Daily Monitor (EDM) was launched on May 3, 2004 and has since become a unique analytical resource on the emerging security realities in the former Soviet space.
Jamestown offers this special supplement to our Terrorism Monitor in order to address the need for immediate and in-depth analysis of breaking news in global terrorism.
In its twenty year history, Jamestown has earned a reputation for providing hard-hitting analysis of security trends in Eurasia, extending from Russia, the former Soviet Union and into China. Since 9/11 the Jamestown Foundation has expanded its regional coverage of Eurasia to include the War on Terror, focusing on international terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda.
North Caucasus Weekly is the foundation's special coverage of the crisis in the breakaway republic. Its mission is to inform policymakers, the media, and the public of developments in Chechnya, discuss the origins of the conflict and explore the possibilities for peace. Beginning January 2003 with Volume IV, North Caucasus Weekly is researched and written by Lawrence A. Uzzell, a senior Jamestown Foundation fellow who opened Jamestown's Moscow office in 1992.
A retrospective of the 20 years of independence experienced by the countries of the South Caucasus clearly demonstrates the difficulties involved in building a state and restoring an economy after more than 70 years of Soviet...

Once again, the Massachusetts Legislature has proved itself to be comprised of simpletons who seek to deny logic and truth. Specifically, on June 9, the House of Representatives voted 112 to 38 to approve yet another attempt at cheating law abiding Massachusetts residents out of their civil right to self-defense.
Simply put, H4278 is bad law; it's intellectually dishonest and does not address the real issues of gun violence. If H4278 becomes law, Massachusetts citizens will no longer have a right to keep and bear arms. Instead, that right will be reduced to a revocable privilege which depends on a non-defined standard of "suitability" and nebulous references to "potential risk." It's an absurd, unethical bill and if enacted, will make an absurd, unethical law.

Do you hear that sound? That is Peter Cottontail hopping down the bunny trail. He should be here soon and you will want to capture those special holiday moments and scrap them. To get you started with your Easter scrapping I created this fun layout on the Cricut Expression Machine using ONLY ONE cartridge - Martha Stewart Seasonal Art. That's right - everything on this layout was cut using the MS Seasonal Art cartridge - even the photo mats!!!
I used Bazzil cardstock and Bo Bunny papers to create this layout. I love the pretty pink Bazzill Bling cardstock as the base pages. I left space for only one photo on the left page - but that is because I have that adorable chickie banner, the elegant Happy Easter title and the fun little floral bunny tag.
The right page holds three photos, embellished with ribbons, as well as a mini chickie banner and bunny tag. The background shape on both pages was cut in Bo Bunny pink print and matted on Bazzill dark chocolate brown cardstock.
The Happy Easter title was cut in two layers and mounted on a piece of polka dot cardstock. I used a Copic Egg Shell colored marker to make the words pop a bit on the white background of the dot cardstock. The dotted cardstock was matted on a chocolate brown scallop trimmed strip - again all shapes from the MS Seasonal Art cartridge - and welded together in Cricut Design Studio.
One of my favorite element on these two pages is the chickie banner. This came out soooo stinkin' cut! I cut the base banner layer in chocolate brown and the middle banner layer in pink. I cut the top banner layer in white smooth cardstock and trimmed away the the connectors. The chicks were cut in a yellow on yellow Bo Bunny print and accented with a Copic marker.
I cut the bunny tag layers twice, once for each page. I then went back and added embellishments to the tags: Ribbon, chipboard flowers, crochet flowers and buttons. I like the floral print bunny best. I used a Copic marker to outline the bunnies.
Busy with the Cricky. You will see a list of downloadable cut files in the left column - the title of this cut file is "Easter Layout MS Seasonal Art".
While you are visiting my blog you may want to enter the contest in which I am currently participating. One lucky winner will be drawn on Tuesday, April 19th to win a HUGE cutting mat, by the Original Scrapbox Company.
Thanks for visiting Everyday Cricut today. I hope you enjoy the Sewing Box contest AND the Easter Layout.

Summary of the Novel
Things Fall Apart is a story told by a skillful storyteller. The novel attempts to recreate the social, cultural, and religious fabric of traditional Igbo life between 1850 and the early 1900s. However, the novel cannot be interpreted as an accurate social and political history of the Igbo people, because it is a work of fiction. Nevertheless, the novel depicts conflicts and tensions within Igbo society as well as changes introduced by colonial rule and Christianity. The novel is structured in three parts. Part One depicts life in pre colonial Igboland. Part Two relates the arrival of the Europeans and the introduction of Christianity, and Part Three recounts the beginning of systematic colonial control in eastern Nigeria. Okonkwo, the protagonist, is a talented but inflexible Igbo who struggles to achieve success in the traditional world.
The setting of Part One is Umuofia, a union of nine villages. Okonkwo is introduced as a great wrestler, a renowned warrior, and a hardworking member of the community. He has amassed two barns filled with yams, three wives, many children, and two titles. His goal is to move through the traditional Igbo title taking system by balancing personal achievement and community service. However, although Okonkwo feels he is destined for greatness, his chi, or the god-force within him, does not seem destined for greatness.
Okonkwo seeks to overpower his mediocre chi by working hard. He is profoundly afraid of failure. As a result, he is unable to balance the feminine energy of love with the masculine energy of material success. Okonkwo often suppresses his feminine side as he pursues his goals and angers the Earth goddess Ani. His rage, inflexibility, and fear of appearing weak like his lazy father, the musician Unoka, consistently overshadow his respect for his community.
When a daughter of Umuofia is killed by the neighboring village of Mbaino, a young boy named Ikemefuna is given to Umuofia in order to avoid war. Okonkwo adopts the boy and seems to admire him, for Ikemefuna is both a talented musician and a great hunter. He is also a brother and role model for Okonkwo's eldest son Nwoye, who appears to be lazy. Ikemefuna lives with Okonkwo for three years until the Oracle of the Hills and Caves demands his life. Ogbuefi Ezeudu, the oldest man in the village, advises Okonkwo not to take part in the ritual killing of the boy. Although Okonkwo loves Ikemefuna, he does not want to appear weak. He joins the ceremony and kills Ikemefuna. Okonkwo's action ultimately shatters his relationship with his sensitive son, Nwoye.
Okonkwo is both affectionate and violent with his family. He loves his daughter Ezinma, who is an ogbanje, or a changeling child who seems to die continually only to return to her mother's womb to be reborn and die again. In an attempt to break the power of the ogbanje, Okonkwo follows his wife Ekwefi, the priestess Chielo, and his daughter Ezinma on a journey to the oracle Agbala. Okonkwo also assists a medicine man locate and destroy his daughter's iyi uwa, or the sacred stone that links the child with the spirit world. However, Okonkwo also has a dark and dangerous side, for he controls his family through anger. In bouts of rage, he beats his youngest wife, Ojiugo, for neglecting to cook dinner and braiding her hair instead during the Week of Peace. He also takes a shot at Ekwefi with a rusty gun during the Yam Festival.
Okonkwo's immoral actions affect the community. During the funeral rite for the elder Ezeudu, Okonkwo's gun accidentally explodes, killing Ezeudu's son. Okonkwo's crimes enrage the Earth Goddess Ani, for he has consciously and unconsciously chosen death by beating his wife, killing Ikemefuna, and now, killing Ezeudu's son. His irrational actions are destroying the moral fabric of traditional life. Therefore, Ani banishes Okonkwo to Mbanta, his mother's village, for seven years.
Part Two of the novel takes place while Okonkwo is in exile in Mbanta. Okonkwo flees to his mother's village and takes refuge with the feminine principal represented by the Earth goddess. He is given time to learn the supremacy of a mother's nurturing love. However, Okonkwo's goals never change. He works hard to amass wealth through the production of yams, and he dreams of returning to Umuofia to become a judicial leader in the clan. While Okonkwo single-mindedly labors in Mbanta, the Europeans arrive in Igboland. His friend Obierika visits him twice with news of the political and social upheaval. Abame, one of the villages in the union of Umuofia, is razed by the British. Christianity, a new religion, is attracting the marginal members of the Igbo community. The disenfranchised among the Igbo include the anguished mothers of twins who are forced to discard their children in the Evil Forest, the osu, who are despised descendants of religious slave cults, and unsuccessful men who do not earn titles or achieve status in the traditional world. The new Christian converts include Okonkwo's son, Nwoye.
In Part Three, Okonkwo returns from exile in Mbanta to a tense and radically changed Umuofia. At this point, a colonial government is taking root, the palm-oil trade is transforming the economy, and Christianity is dividing the Igbo people. Tensions escalate at the annual worship of the Earth goddess when the zealous Christian convert Enoch unmasks an egwugwu, a masquerader representing an ancestral spirit. His apostasy kills the spirit, unmasks the traditional religion, and throws Umuofia into confusion. Other egwugwu, who are actually Igbo men masked as ancestors, are enraged and retaliate. They raze Enoch's compound to the ground and burn the new Christian church. Okonkwo and other village leaders are subsequently jailed and whipped by order of the District Commissioner. After paying a fine, the humiliated Igbo are released from prison.
The traditional Igbo gather to mourn the abominations suffered by the ancient gods, the ancestors, and the entire Igbo community. They decry the new religion, which has pitted Igbo against Igbo. When colonial officials arrive to disperse the crowd, Okonkwo blocks them. He draws his machete and decapitates the court messenger. Okonkwo marshals no support; however, for the divided Igbo community fails to rise in defense of traditional life. Okonkwo has no recourse. He retreats and hangs himself from a tree.
Okonkwo fails to achieve immortality according to Igbo tradition. Only strangers may touch him now, for he has committed suicide, the ultimate offense against the Earth goddess. Okonkwo does not even merit a simple burial among his own people. In the final denouement, a perplexed District Commissioner orders members of the Igbo community to appear in court with Okonkwo's corpse. The commissioner decides to allot the tragedy of Okonkwo a paragraph in his anthropological study of the Igbo, which he has cruelly entitled "The Pacification of the Primitive Tribes of the Lower Niger." (p. 148)
Although the novel represents Igboland in the 1890s, it is crucial for the reader to remember that Achebe wrote Things Fall Apart in 1958, at the dawn of Nigerian independence. Achebe writes from a realistic third person point of view and questions assumptions about civilization, culture, and literature. Proverbs, folk tales, myths, and portraits of rituals and festivals support the basic plot line and paint a picture of Igbo life. In Morning Yet on Creation Day, Achebe explains his desire to show that precolonial Africa was "not one long nightmare of savagery." (p. 45) Overall, Achebe succeeds in presenting Igbo society as an organic whole and providing a window into the heart of Africa.
The Life and Work of Chinua Achebe
Chinua Achebe is one of Africa's most influential writers. Things Fall Apart, Achebe's first novel, was published in 1958, just before Nigeria gained independence. The title of the novel echoes W. B. Yeats's poem "The Second Coming," which describes history as a succession of gyres, or spirals. Achebe applies the image to Africa as the nineteenth century traditional world of the Igbo people gives way to the colonial forces of the twentieth century.
Things Fall Apart is based upon Achebe's life experience. Born in 1930, Chinua Achebe spent his early childhood in Ogidi, Nigeria, a large village near the famous marketplace of Onitsha. Achebe was a child of both the traditional Igbo world and the colonial Christian world, because his father, Isaiah Achebe, worked as a catechist for the Church Missionary Society. Although Achebe spoke Igbo at home, he studied English in school. At the age of 14, he advanced to the prestigious Government College in Umuahia.
In 1948, Achebe was awarded a scholarship to study medicine at the University College in Ibadan. However, he soon refocused his program on literature, religion, and history. Achebe was repelled by the fundamental racism of colonial classics such as Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Joyce Cary's Mister Johnson. These novels depicted a savage Africa that was humanized only through European colonialism. In reaction, Achebe expanded his own understanding of the Igbo world with a study of oral accounts and written colonial records; he also published his first essays, editorials, and short stories as the student editor of the University Herald.
After graduation, Achebe taught for a brief period. In 1954, he took a position with the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation, and from 1961–1966, he served as the director of external broadcasting. As Nigeria moved toward independence, Achebe's radio programs helped shape a national identity. During this time, Achebe also wrote his first four novels and became the founding editor of Heinemann Publisher's "African Writers Series." Things Fall Apart was followed by No Longer at Ease (1960), Arrow of God (1964), and A Man of the People (1966).
In 1967, Achebe supported Biafra's secession from Nigeria and left broadcasting to pursue research at the University of Nigeria. His reflections about the civil war were published as Beware Soul Brother and Other Poems (1971) and Girls at War and Other Stories (1972). His essays were published as Morning Yet on Creation Day (1975); The Trouble with Nigeria (1983); and Hopes and Impediments: Selected Essays, 1965–87 (1988). His essays have had a great influence on contemporary thought about Africa and African literature. For example, "The Novelist as Teacher" explains the role of the writer in Africa, and "The African Writer and the English Language" explains Achebe's use of language. These essays are among his most often quoted essays, and they are included in Morning Yet on Creation Day. Achebe also coedited Don't Let Him Die: An Anthology of Memorial Poems for Christopher Okigbo (1978), and founded Okike: An African Journal of New Writing.
Achebe has also written several children's books, including Chike and the River (1966), The Drum (1977), and The Flute (1977). He has also edited African Short Stories (1982) and The Heinemann Book of Contemporary African Stories (1992). Finally, Achebe published his fifth novel, Anthills of the Savannah, in 1987.
In addition to his research and writing, over the past 20 years Chinua Achebe has worked as a professor of literature, the director of African Studies, and a pro vice chancellor at the University of Nigeria. He has also served as a distinguished visiting professor of literature at the University of Massachusetts, the University of Connecticut, City College of New York, and Bard College. Achebe has lectured extensively throughout Africa and the United States, and he has received numerous awards, including the Nigerian National Merit Award. Chinua Achebe has influenced many African writers through his writing and his work as the chairperson of the Society of Nigerian Authors.

For Instructors Spinning
When is it really a clinical issue?
03/21/2011 9:50 am
As instructors, it is our job to always be aware of who are clients are, and how to best support their healthy lifestyle. With this in mind, I was just thinking about the relatively new phenomenon, ?exercise bulimia?. In a time when we are hearing on the news that Americans don?t exercise enough, it seems odd to hear about someone who exercises too much?because, after all, we?re touting exercise as the ?cure-all? and ?preventative? medicine, right? Thus, how can exercising a lot be too much? I wanted to figure out what the distinction might be for healthy working out ?a lot? versus disordered working out ?a lot?. It seems to be related to the amount of distress and disorder it might cause in your daily life. In other words, exercise is considered compulsive when individuals miss work, parties or appointments in order to work out. They might work out while they are sick, or even if they are injured. Additionally, these compulsive behaviors, if not satisfied, might lead to the individual becoming severely depressed when they cannot get a workout in. A diagnosis might also be due to the fact that these before mentioned symptoms, along with behaviors such as working out for hours at a time each day or not taking rest/ recovery days, are part of the behavioral pattern. I?ll admit that at one point in my life, this might have categorically been me?as I have gotten older, though, it?s just not possible to do?work life is integral to my being issued a paycheck to join a gym (ha ha), and as I?ve gotten older, an understanding that I?m not omnipotent, and therefore need recovery days, has become a reality. But, I wanted to share a bit on this as we might, as instructors see this amongst our clients and perhaps our peers?not sure if anyone has anything to add on the matter, but if you want to share on experiences, it?d help for our community to stay informed. -JuneShare

Trilithium Torpedoes Weapon Power
1) The star flared up to many times its normal brightness. This flare-up peaked rapidly then faded out over approximately seven seconds.
2) The star began to darken and shrink in size considerably over the next several minutes. We are explicitly told that all nuclear fusion is breaking down by this point.
3) A shockwave was produced which proceeded outwards. This shockwave covered a distance equal to 60% of the diameter of the star in a period of 5 seconds - roughly equal to 50% the speed of light.
It was later revealed that the mass of the Amagosa star had altered sufficiently that it significantly affected the gravitational fields within the region. When the Veridian star was later destroyed, the shockwave produced had sufficient energy to shatter a habitable planet completely over a period of some seven seconds.
For the purposes of calculation, I will make the following assumptions :
1) The Amagosa and Veridian stars both have approximately the same mass as Sol - 2 x 1030 kg.
2) The Veridian detonation was identical to the Amargosa detonation.
3) The planet Veridian III is the same size and distance from its sun as Earth.
Veridian III
When the shockwave produced by the destruction of the Veridian star reached Veridian III, the planet was completely destroyed over a period of approximately seven seconds. The rubble produced was moving at a rate approximately equal to one planetary diameter every five seconds - equating to 2,500,000 metres per second. The energy required to do this is given by :
Planet destruction energy = 0.5 x mass of planet x rubble velocity2
= 0.5 x 6 x 1024 x 2,500,0002
= 1.875 x 1037 Joules.
But this is only that portion of the total energy which was intercepted by the planet - the entire energy would be evenly distributed over a spherical shell with a radius equal to the planets orbital distance. To calculate the entire energy of the shockwave we must determine what fraction of the wave was intercepted by the planet. This is given by :
Fraction = (area of a circle with radius of planet) / (area of a spherical shell with radius of planets orbit around sun)
= (pi x (radius of planet)2) / (4 x pi x 1 AU2)
= (1.247 x 1014) / (2.828 x 1023)
= 4.409 x 10-10
So the total energy of the shockwave would be given by :
Total energy output = Energy to destroy planet / Fraction
= 1.875 x 1037 / 4.409 x 10-10
= 4.25 x 1046 Joules
This energy was delivered over a period of some 7 seconds, equating to a power output of P = 6.075 x 1045 Watts
This represents the minimum energy output of the Amagosa and Veridian detonations - in fact it is perfectly possible that the energy release was considerably above this level, if the planet absorbed less than 100% of the energy incident upon it.
To produce an energy release of this magnitude some 4.73 x 1029 kg of matter must be converted completely to energy with 100% efficiency. This represents some 23.6% of the total mass of the star involved.
Gravitational Theory??
Shortly after the Amagosa detonation, Captain Picard and Lieutenant Commander Data spend some time analysing Dr. Sorans motives in the Stellar Cartography imaging room. During this analysis, Data explicitly states that the stars destruction has caused a significant change in the gravitational fields in the area. This fits in ideally with the loss of a significant percentage of the mass of the star, and is strong confirmation of the above calculations.
Some have suggested that the gravitational changes are due to a large amount of mass being blown off the surface of the star - that in fact this material comprised the shockwave which destroyed the planet. But this simply cannot be so - in the Viridian detonation Dr. Soran planned to alter the course of the Nexus so that it would take him off the planet. But the centre of gravity of a spherical shell lies at the centre point, so the course of the Nexus would only be significantly altered once it had passed through the shockwave... which would mean that the planet would have to be inside the shockwave... which would mean that Soran would be dead before the Nexus reached him. In order to alter the combined gravity field of the shockwave-star before it reached, the mass must have been significantly reduced in the initial implosion/explosion.
So far as I know, the use of the trilithium weapon against the Amargosa system is single largest destructive energy release in all of Star Trek history - possibly in all of science fiction history. Since the Trilithium warhead can be contained within what appeared - in the case of the Amagosa detonation - to be a standard Starfleet torpedo/probe casing, then it could presumably be used by any existing Starfleet ship. This would, for example, allow a Galaxy class starship to destroy some 250 solar systems without any form of replenishment. Indeed, if the ship where to stock its cargo bays with extra weapons then several thousand could easily be accomodated.

The study of political science has occupied a central position in the liberal arts. This field focuses on the values that humans should seek and the particular legal and structural organizations that allow us to realize our desired values. Contemporary political science combines this concern for normative issues with an additional focus on scientific procedures, and empirical and quantitative methodology.
The study of politics and international relations has never been more important than today. Events that occur across the globe and in remote places around the world impact our daily lives. As a result of revolutionary technological change, relations within and between states are being reconfigured almost daily. The majors in Political Science and International Relations at Valparaiso University give students the background, experience, and analytical tools to make sense of, and prepare for dealing with this dynamic and rapidly changing world.
The department offers two majors: one in Political Science and one in International Relations. Students choosing the Political Science major can concentrate in three separate areas: general political science, legal studies, or public policy and public administration. Students selecting the International Relations major can choose from courses focusing on international relations and international law, foreign policy, industrialized countries, developing states, Latin America, East Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
The Department of Political Science at Valparaiso University opened the Community Research and Service Center (CRSC) in the fall of 1995. The primary goals of the CRSC are to provide research assistance and other services to government, not-for-profit organizations, and businesses in Northwest Indiana while simultaneously providing opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in the process of developing and executing applied research projects.
For many years the Political Science Department has been sending students to Washington D.C. and to the United Nations. These programs have proved to be very beneficial to our students throughout the years; there is no better place to learn about Politics than in D.C. or at the United Nations. Programs are also available in China, Africa, Spain, France, Mexico, Germany, and England.

Rated 1 out of 5 by ShoeGal from super cute but leather was hard Great looking shoe, fun color, but they were very stiff and require being broken in. I was unsure how they would feel after being worn awhile so I took them back and got the Vikara T-Strap in the same blue. Love the new shoe, super comfortable from the start and I get loads of compliments on them!

Rated 1 out of 5 by olie1 from Not the quality I expected I am returning these shoes. They are very narrow. I have another pair of total motion ballet flats that it took 3 orders to get a pair that fit. I am very disappointed in these, the leather at the heal is breaking down. For the cost I did not expect this. I have a pair of Alanda short boots that I purchased in Dec 2014. These are the shoe that prompted me to buy the ballet flats. They fit great, have held up and are the most comfortable shoes that I have. The quality and comfort of these shoes do not compare to the ballet flats.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Uncomfortable from High hopes I thought this would be a great shoe, but as stated in other review the upper is really hard. Squeezes across toes and rubs at the back. I thought ballet slipper type shoes were more soft. They look great but I don't think breaking in will make them more wearable.

All of my preschool students receive occupation therapy as an added service each week. It is fully incorporated into my classroom and we have an OT clinic on campus that has a wealth of materials. As I learn more about the OT needs of my kids, I think about the skills needed to be a good Spinning student and possible ways of assisting those who are still emerging with their understanding of the program. When WSSC is over, I?ll inevitably read a comment from someone who does not understand why a presenter didn?t stop certain students from pedaling too fast, jumping too quickly, or using incorrect hand positions. My answers to these types of questions are always the same. If the presenter was demonstrating proper alignment, hand positions, riding form, and cadence, while playing music with a moderate tempo, then they were doing all they could to instruct the guidelines of the program. I firmly believe that many people have delayed visual motor skills in certain areas. One of the most important aspects of teaching a class is the demonstration of appropriate skills. Everyone attending our classes will process those skills at a different rate. Some will do it immediately, and some will take much more time. Visual Motor Skills: The ability to visually take in information, process it, and be able to coordinate your physical movement in relation to what has been viewed.Share

Restrike Etching #39629
These authentic engravings and etchings have been hand-produced using genuine steel or copper intaglio plates, some of which date from as far back as the eighteenth century. Each impression is crafted individually and entirely by hand, in the same manner as the copperplate printer of centuries ago. The coloured versions of these prints are then hand-coloured by skilled artists, to create an extremely high quality collector's item.
If choosing the print framed, please note that the prints carry the original engravers wording underneath. Although we can't show this on the site, the print will be framed to show this wording and the surrounding plate mark, which provides a natural border. The dimensions given are to the plate mark, not of the image alone.

The snakes were not so much in the water as they were around it, the rocks, hell everywhere. I can't imagine what it would have been like down south having to deal with water moccasins...They called it Rattlesnake Creek. for a reason.
...As a matter of survival, I would suggest freely and voluntarily giving up that which you will eventually loose anyway. (You can't very well hide that big garden out back.) As part of polishing your image as a civic minded individual be willing to share - you go fishing and catch more than enough for your immediate needs, offer some of the catch to your neighbors or if the quantity warrant, take it up to the fire house for the communal pot. Above all use common sense, when all around you are loosing weight, don't be the fat guy on the block....
This sort of undermines the entire reason for prepping in the first place. I certainly don't see any reason to spend my time and energy preparing for emergencies, solely so I can turn the results over to people who didn't do so. By your logic, I'd do better to store up a gun and some ammo, and join the local fire department.
If and when... some group such as the volunteer fire department, will undoubtedly at least attempt to take charge. They will coordinate rescue, set up emergency shelters and distribute such supplies as are available. As a part of this procedure, I believe it is safe to assume that they would also feel free to "requisitions" whatever was thought necessary to this end. That would include whatever is left on store shelves, in gas stations, restaurants, school lunchrooms, local farms, etc. When the emergency is dire, such requisitioning eventually extends to individuals with scores being settled and neighbor denouncing neighbor.As a matter of survival, I would suggest freely and voluntarily giving up that which you will eventually loose anyway.
In an urban situation I would just keep my head down as long as humanly possible.
Well, from what i've read, those solitary mountain men and buffalo hunters weren't such pushovers.
Well, I'm likely not going to have any

Changes are Good
03/03/2011 4:29 pm
Change, some people like it, others hate it. Either way, change is inevitable. At one of the studios that I teach, a change is about to happen. An instructor is going taking a leave of absence and the schedule of instructors will be shuffled. The change may not go over so well for some members and even some instructors. As an instructor, you need to be flexible when the change will help the overall program. Change makes us nervous. We often inherit a class that is used to the way the previous instructor conducts her or his class. Then we get the inevitable shrinking of attendance until the population gets used to your style. I recall taking over a class for a very popular instructor. I never took her class, but it was always packed. People would hover around the cycling room like vultures over a carcass on the Serengeti Plains just to see if someone didn?t show up for class. Needless to say, people were not thrilled to see a different instructor. I could take it personally, but that doesn?t bring in the people. Being flexible means I needed to recreate my own following. A different time slot means different demographics. I needed to go back to first of the four Ps we learned in orientation and evaluate who my population was. I moved to a different day and started my class 30 minutes earlier. Once I learned the people, I started to pack the room just as the instructor before me had done. Well, the time is coming again and I?ll have to make another change. Luckily, I know that when I switched days before, I knew some of the people in the class I will be taking over. I?m excited to make this change. Not only do I get to meet new people, I also get a better time slot. Whenever your director asks you to change your scheduled class day or time, consider taking her or him up on the offer. We can get comfortable with a class and may slip into a coaching slump. I?m not talking about completely ignoring our responsibilities, but to a point where we coach in a particular way and we become predictible and are almost stagnent in our development. I?m lucky that I have the flexibility in my schedule to change evenings and time slots. I get to reinvent myself with the changes presented to me. I?m usually the first person asked to switch classes whenever a change is needed. This upcoming change will be good for me and even better for our members. blog by Ralph Mlady for community.spinning.com 3/3/11Share

I can't believe it. Yes, I can believe it, because I am standing here looking at it. "It" being the horrible condition of the Greensburg streets.
I am not sure why the city council or city administrator wouldn't have done something to clean or improve the streets. The city administrator who was hired to take care of the city business isn't too well acquainted with the job description or doesn't care about what it is.
Our streets are important to us and to the welfare of the city.
When I came to Greensburg in 1966 the city had a three-man street crew, a road grader, a front-end loader and a couple of dump trucks. Main street and emergency lanes were open within 3-4 hours. The snow in the street was removed to a spot south of town within 12-24 hours.
That seems to be a far cry from what we have had this past week.
Thank you, Don Richards.

News Releases
Columbia College-Moberly signed a new reverse transfer articulation agreement with Moberly Area Community College (MACC) today at an appreciation luncheon held on the Columbia College campus in Columbia, Mo. At the luncheon, the two colleges celebrated the agreement, which allows students to submit Columbia College credits toward an associate degree from MACC.
"This exciting new development offers MACC students the opportunity to have an associate degree in hand while they pursue their baccalaureate studies at Columbia College," said Dr. Bruce Jackson, director of Columbia College-Moberly.
Columbia College-Moberly was established on the MACC campus in 1996, and the two institutions have enjoyed a close educational partnership ever since. Through their 2-Plus-2 program, students finishing an associate degree with MACC transfer directly to Columbia College for their last two years of a bachelor's degree. Columbia College-Moberly is one of four Columbia College Nationwide Campuses that is housed on a community college campus.
Columbia College-Moberly offers three bachelor's degree programs in-seat as well as 23 associate, bachelor's and master's degrees online.
Founded in 1851 in Columbia, Mo., Columbia College has been helping students advance their lives through higher education for more than 160 years. As a private, nonprofit, liberal arts and sciences institution, the college takes pride in its small classes, experienced faculty and quality educational programs. With more than 30 campuses across the country, 18 of which are on military installations, students may enroll in day, evening or online classes. The college is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Columbia College educates more than 30,000 students each year and has more than 70,000 alumni worldwide. For more information, visit www.ccis.edu.
