Product Description
Cabela's QuickDraw Rod Holders w/ Flush Mount Base
The QuickDraw Rod Holder sports a unique pivoting design that actually helps set the hook by keeping tension on the fish. Since the inside tube pivots, it is twice as easy to remove the rod compared with conventional holders. Use the top cradle for casting and trolling rod/reel combos, or the bottom slot for spinning combos. Since the innovative design positions rods at the optimum angle to the water, it performs perfectly with light spinning gear when drifting and still-fishing as well as with heavier gear when trolling. Mounting hardware not included. Colour: Black.

The staff from the mint that we arrived was so welcoming. The bellmen immediately assisted with our bags and details about the parking. The Front Desk group was fun and very knowledgeable. John L. was so on point about all things Starwood and his associates were very helpful later that night when we were looking for bread pudding close by. The evening attendant at the Club Lounge, Christine was very attentive and shared a lot about her hometown while we had some yummy treats. Our stay was great and the location of the hotel is perfect for exploring the wonderful city of Portsmouth. Next time we come, we will bring our swimsuits and try out the new saline pool... can't wait!

That's remarkable enough for any beneficiary of the German economic miracle, but for the president of the Bundesbank it looks like a form of heresy. What's this? Unskilled workers should not command high rates of pay, labour regulations are too rigid, collective wage bargaining is not sufficiently flexible, Germany in particular should get away from the idea that the service industries are a humiliating form of work? Hans Tietmeyer is not a politician, he's said this kind of thing before (though not as strongly), and it may be some time before sentiments of this type are echoed publicly by Helmut Kohl. All the same, by German standards, he's tilting at some very sacred cows.
In a different way, so is the Labour Party in its now very public public pronouncements on the importance of sound public finances and low rates of taxation. That this kind of thing should no longer be thought surprising coming from the shadow chancellor is almost as revealing as Mr Tietmeyer's conversion to the cause of flexible labour markets. Are we beginning to witness the final triumph of Anglo-Saxon free market principles? From very different perspectives and political positions, Mr Tietmeyer and Mr Brown seem to be coming round to the same point of view.
The problem for Mr Brown is that it is all very well to say these things, quite another for him to deliver. It remains to be seen what sort of a credibility gap he has to close with the electorate; with the markets it is still a big one.
The rhetoric is fine, but he's got a hill to climb convincing financial markets that he's as serious about it as claimed. Income tax is in any case only part of the equation here. If he has to rely on the windfall profits tax and other wheezes to make the books balance, he could be in trouble.
There is no such thing as a popular tax, however much a windfall levy on the utilities might look like one. While proposals for this tax languished in the pounds 3bn-pounds 5bn range, Labour looked like getting away with it, just about. But if it is true that Mr Brown's office is now looking at a pounds 10bn levy - and his comments on income tax yesterday only tend to support the suggestion that he is - then that is a very different matter.
This is not money that it is going to be magicked out of thin air. Ultimately it will be the shareholders who pay. There are about 8 million of them spread across the utilities, and the sums involved begin to look large enough to make an electoral difference. As Mr Brown is about to discover, squaring the circle between Labour's social commitments, its policy of low taxation, Maastricht and the financial markets will be quite as hard as Mr Tietmeyer paints it.
Demergers are no panacea
The City was beginning to have its doubts about demergers, but the woeful performance of Thorn since its divorce from EMI has confirmed that the great business school idea of the early 1990s is no panacea. Since Thorn EMI did the splits in August last year, the rental arm's shares have slumped 47 per cent.
That would not matter so much if the music business had played a more cheerful tune, but it too has fallen, by 16 per cent as bid speculation evaporated.
The theory of demergers is fine as far as it goes. When a valuable gem such as ICI's pharmaceuticals arm is hidden from view behind a lower-rated business like bulk chemicals, it doesn't take a genius to recognise the potential of spinning it off into a racier sector.
The same was true of Racal's progeny, especially Vodafone, where the potential of the mobile phone revolution was always likely to be diluted by the stock market rating on dull defence electronics contracts.
But the list of failed demergers is lengthening. Hanson's ran aground last year when the City realised the conglomerate's four-way split was little more than a dividend cut in fancy clothing. Guinness has turned its back on a break-up. Most tellingly, Sir Christopher Hogg, architect of the Courtaulds demerger, has said he is unconvinced it is the solution to Allied Domecq's deep-seated problems. BAT Industries, likewise, cannot see how demerging tobacco from insurance would add to shareholder value, even though it admits there is no logic in co-existence.
With the benefit of hindsight it is now clear that it was always going to be better to travel than to arrive with Thorn EMI. In the months leading up to last summer's split, optimistic estimates of the value of the music arm to one of the US entertainment giants drove the share price to dizzy heights while no-one really gave a second thought to the dull old rental arm.
Which was a mistake, because dull it was, is and is likely to remain. As yesterday's trading statement confirmed the market in the US for renting commodity products like video recorders and television is drying up as fast as a price war is driving down the cost of buying the machines outright.
What's left of the market is being undermined in the courts where American lawyers have cottoned onto the usurious effective interest rates rent- to-buy contracts imply. The move into car rental, an area already well served by specialists, is a further sign of desperation. Being EMI's unnoticed sibling had its attractions, it seems.
Whistle blown on gravy train
The gravy train may not yet have hit the buffers but at least the whistle has been blown. Pressure from institutional investors has finally forced Prism Rail to scrap a share ratchet scheme that enriched its founding investors beyond their wildest dreams. But no matter.
Prism's directors own 30 per cent and are likely to be in the money again when a larger player chooses to swallow them in the inevitable consolidation to come. History will judge them as clever arbitrageurs who made their money paying peanuts for train operating companies sold in haste

UW's Dallas Lewallen is healthy and hungry to play
Redshirt junior to start his first game, replacing injured center
Madison — Dallas Lewallen insists he never lost hope.
He never considered limping away from football.
He never considered the possibility that he wouldn't be healthy enough to start on Wisconsin's offensive line.
With UW's season opener barely more than two weeks away, the 6-foot-6, 322-pound redshirt junior from Berlin High School is poised to start his first college game.
"I definitely say my prayers every night and thank God for where I'm at," said Lewallen, who has been limited to a total of six games because of injuries to both knees. "Where I've come from to where I am now?
"I don't take it for granted. I am very thankful."
Lewallen worked at left tackle, center and left guard in the spring and opened camp as the No. 1 left guard. He moved back to center Wednesday morning after starter Dan Voltz suffered a right-hamstring injury.
"I don't think it will be too bad," offensive line coach T.J. Woods said after practice. "I think it is a tweak. We'll see.
"He's still got to go in and check it out."
After practice Wednesday night, head coach Gary Andersen said he hoped to have a better idea of Voltz's status Thursday.
"Those hamstrings have a tendency to take 24 hours to heat up or cool down," he said. "We're hoping for the best."
With Lewallen at center, Woods slid Zac Matthias to left guard and gave Kyle Costigan all the work at right guard. Costigan and Matthias have been splitting reps at right guard throughout camp.
"I love Dallas," said Woods, noting the botched snap Lewallen had was not acceptable. "No. 1, he is a hard worker. He loves the game and he is fired up to be here.
"I've coached him now for — what is it, 26 practices? — and never once had to say let's get going, let's practice harder.
"To me that is the main thing, when you've got guys that want to work hard and want to be the best they can be and uphold the tradition that has been set here. He has been great."
Lewallen, fond of cheap tacos, is also hungry to play.
He redshirted in 2010 but impressed then-offensive coach Bob Bostad, who suspected he had a future star on the roster.
Lewallen's light was dimmed considerably when he suffered a dislocated left kneecap in the 2011 spring game and then suffered the same injury during preseason camp.
He was limited to two games that season — Sept. 24 against South Dakota State and Oct. 1 against Nebraska — but eventually needed surgery.
Lewallen returned to practice last spring, but it was obvious he wasn't healthy.
His limp was considerable and he later suffered a partial tear in the patella tendon. A bout of tendinitis didn't help, and Lewallen, who eventually moved to No. 2 right tackle, was limited to four games.
"I knew he had a chance," senior left tackle Ryan Groy said. "The kid works so hard and he is an unbelievable athlete."
The limp is gone now and Lewallen feels as healthy as he was during his redshirt season.
"It feels great right now," he said. "Knock on wood, I haven't had any problems. Let's keep that going and stay injury-free. That would be awesome."
Woods has seen only minor residue from the injury. At times, Lewallen doesn't bend his knees as much as he should and ends up playing too high.
"Anytime you get lower-extremity injuries, that happens," Woods said. "It is just more comfortable when you have your leg straight. But you can't play the game that way.
"We're working through that."
Lewallen insists he never bottomed out while struggling through the injuries and rehabilitation.
"It got tough at times," he said, "but I tried to keep a positive attitude and stay focused on getting healthy and getting to where I am right now.
"My biggest goal is to stay healthy and keep getting stronger every day."

Making Sense of Suicide Missions by Diego Gambetta
Book DescriptionSuicide attacks have become the defining act of political violence of our age. From New York City to Baghdad, from Sri Lanka to Israel, few can doubt that they are a terrifying feature of an increasing number of violent conflicts. Since 1981, around 30 organizations throughout the world - some of them secular and others affiliated to radical Islam - have carried out more than 600 suicide missions. Although a tiny fraction of the overall number of guerrilla and terrorist attacks occurring in the same period, the results have proved significantly more lethal. This book is the first to shed real light on these extraordinary acts, and provide answers to the questions we all ask. Are these the actions of aggressive religious zealots and unbridled, irrational radicals or is there a logic driving those behind them? Are their motivations religious or has Islam provided a language to express essentially political causes? How can the perpetrators remain so lucidly effective in the face of certain death? And do these disparate attacks have something like a common cause? For nearly three years, this team of internationally distinguished scholars has pursued an unprejudiced inquiry, investigating organizers and perpetrators alike of this extraordinary phenomenon. Close comparisons between a whole range of cases raise challenging further questions: if suicide missions are so effective, why are they not more common? If killing is what matters, why not stick to 'ordinary' violent means? Or, if dying is what matters, why kill in the process? Making Sense of Suicide Missions contains a wealth of original information and innovative analysis which further our understanding of this chilling feature of the contemporary world in radically new and unexpected ways.

A small number of water companies were responsible for an 11 per cent overall increase in complaints last year, the Consumer Council for Water said.
Problems with new billing systems led to a 155 per cent increase in complaints to Southern Water and a 56 per cent increase to Anglian Water, the watchdog said. South East Water saw complaints rise by 55 per cent, on top of already high complaint figures, it added.
The council looked at the total number of complaints to water companies between April 2007 and April 2008. Southern, South East and South West had the highest number of complaints per 10,000 customers.
Complaints to Severn Trent Water fell by a third. Other companies continued to receive relatively few complaints, including Yorkshire, Northumbrian, Portsmouth and Hartlepool.
Dame Yve Buckland, chairman of the council, said: "It is very disappointing that a few water companies are responsible for the overall rise in complaints."

As prophecy had ceased for many ages before the coming of Christ, that the revival and perfection of it in that great prophet might be the more remarkable, so vision had ceased (for aught that appears) among the patriarchs for some ages before the coming of Moses, that God's appearances to him for Israel's salvation might be the more welcome; and in this chapter we have God's first appearance to him in the bush and the conference between God and Moses in that vision. Here is, I. The discovery God was pleased to make of his glory to Moses at the bush, to which Moses was forbidden to approach too near, Exod. 3:1-5. II. A general declaration of God's grace and good-will to his people, who were beloved for their fathers' sakes, Exod. 3:6. III. A particular notification of God's purpose concerning the deliverance of Israel out of Egypt. 1. He assures Moses it should now be done, Exod. 3:7-9. 2. He gives him a commission to act in it as his ambassador both to Pharaoh, (Exod. 3:10) and to Israel, Exod. 3:16. 3. He answers the objection Moses made of his own unworthiness, Exod. 3:11, 12. 4. He gives him full instructions what to say both to Pharaoh and to Israel, Exod. 3:13-18. 5. He tells him beforehand what the issue would be, Exod. 3:19-22

Balthus: Cats and Girls - Paintings and Provocations
09/25/13 through 01/12/14
Metropolitan Museum of Art
1000 Fifth Ave. Map
This event has already taken place. Click here for the latest events.
Balthus is best known for his series of pensive adolescents who dream or read in rooms that are closed to the outside world. Focusing on his finest works, the exhibition will be limited to approximately thirty-five paintings dating from the mid-1930s to the 1950s. Between 1936 and 1939, Balthus painted his celebrated series of portraits of Therese Blanchard, his young neighbor in Paris. Therese posed alone, with her cat, or with her two brothers. When Balthus lived in Switzerland during World War II, he replaced the forbidding austerity of his Paris studio with more colorful interiors in which different nymphets daydream, read, or nap. The exhibition concludes with images that he created of Frederique Tison, his favorite model, at the Chateau de Chassy in the Morvan during the 1950s. Never before shown in public will be the series of forty small ink drawings for Mitsou, in which the eleven-year-old Balthus evoked his adventures with a stray tomcat and which were published by the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke in 1921. This is the first exhibition of the artist's works in this country in thirty years. Four works belong to the Museum's collection and the rest -- with the exception of several loans from France, England, Switzerland, and Australia -- will come from museums and private collections in the United States.
Venue Description: Sun.-Thurs., 10am-5:30pm; Fri.-Sat., 10am-9pm. Recommended admission: $25.

All-mountain protection.
Bomb trails long enough and you'll eventually go boom. Sometimes you'll expect it; sometimes you won't. Either way, crashing is a part of riding, so when you buckle your helmet and head out for a rowdy day on singletrack, you want to be wearing a helmet that won't let you down if you lean hard into a corner and unexpectedly find yourself in a cloud of dust looking up the sky. Mavic took safety seriously when designing its Crossmax Pro Helmet, bearing in mind the specific demands of enduro riding and including features you can directly benefit from while you seek out the tackiest lines with your ride crew.
Mavic started by shaping Crossmax Pro to provide coverage on the vulnerable areas of the back of the head while ensuring the helmet remained lightweight and breathable, a goal that was facilitated by ample ventilation throughout. Within the helmet, Mavic helps create a more comfortable fit next to your skin by using its Live Fit technology, which involves a band of plush, adaptable XRD memory foam spanning the front of the helmet. This foam customizes the fit to your head shape, ensuring a secure fit and absorbing trail vibrations and impacts on white-knuckle lines and unavoidable crashes.
Anticipating you'll be grabbing a pair of goggles or at least sunglasses for most rides, Mavic also shaped the helmet and its adjustable visor with eyewear in mind, aiming to achieve a versatile fit with most goggles that will discourage fogging on days when the trails are especially steamy.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I used this helmet the first month of the riding season! It has impeccable breathability, styling, and protection. I took a nasty fall hitting jumps on a downhill trail in Park City (should have had a full face helmet). I Immediately flew over the handlebars right to me head. From the fall I suffered only a minor concussion, but without this helmet it could have been much worse. The helmet was cracked completely through but it save my melon. Highly recommend! If you have additional questions please feel free to reach out to me directly.

Provisions for Pastors Initiative, 3rd Annual Spiritual Life Forum
Monday, Oct 24, 2016
Windsor Road Christian Church
9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m.
Cost: $30 Includes lunch and materials
How has God been at work in your life over the years? Can you spot evidence of his hand and guidance? What about the places where he stepped in to direct or redirect your path? Do you see God at work in your life right now?
Seeing how God has shaped our past informs our future, fills in our identity, and fuels our life mission. This day-long, hands-on workshop will help you see where God has been at work in in your life and where he may be leading you now. Together we'll each construct a timeline of God's work in the past leading up to today, and consider what this implies about identity in Christ and God's calling for the next stages of life.
To conduct this practical workshop, Urbana Seminary is delighted to welcome Rob and Jean Gill. The Gills served cross-culturally for 25 years in Japan and now have entered a ministry of spiritual formation and self-care for Christian workers. They have had the opportunity to present training like this for missionaries from different agencies in multiple countries throughout Asia.

Can you keep your finger on the text? Can you make God's Word come alive to a person in 2016? All quality preaching seeks to balance faithfulness and relevance. What we say must be faithful to the gospel but must also be relevant to our listeners or the message cannot impact them. Join us as we seek to challenge each other in attaining this balance in the pulpit and in any setting where we communicate God's Word.

Summer 2016—Walking in England
Although I initially didn't consider my summer trip to England as an official Walking with Nathaniel event, the bi-annual Quaker Pilgrimage sponsored by Friends Council on Education seems a good fit in hindsight. Located in the picturesque Lake District of North West England, the Quaker Retreat Center of Glenthorne in Grasmere, Ambleside welcomed thirty Americans to what is commonly called "1652 Country"—the geographic and historic hub of George Fox, the 17th Century founder of Quakerism. Each morning, several pilgrims and I gathered at 6:30 a.m. to wander the surrounding hills and discover the English countryside with the same open and care-free spirit of early Friends. During the week I logged over 50 miles as we wandered the hills, retraced the footsteps of early Quakers and steeped ourselves in the history of this radical religious movement. I was able to share Nathaniel's story with fellow travelers and discovered again that advocacy and awareness can happen any time, any place, when we experience the outdoors directly, ground ourselves through exercise, and open our minds, hearts and spirit to what is and to what could be.
Spring 2016—OCD Walk
On June 4th the OCD Community gathered to walk around Jamaica Pond, Boston. This annual event, now in its 4th year, gave us an opportunity to connect with many people affected by OCD & related disorders and to foster greater awareness. The 1 Million 4 OCD Walk grew out of Denis's original pilgrimage by foot from Cheyney, PA to Boston in Spring 2012. The 525-miles logged added up to well over 1,000,000 steps, thus the name of this annual walk event. This spring seventeen family members and friends joined the Walking with Nathaniel Team in person, walking the 3-mile route around the pond with Judy, Denis, and Carrie. Others joined us virtually through donations. Nathaniel's spirit was certainly present too. Together, the Walking with Nathaniel Team raised $3,530 for IOCDF. Bravo! With each Annual Walk, the OCD Community grows stronger in numbers and in spirit.
2016—Awareness Matters
We've walked well over 1500 miles in pilgrimages since 2011 with the goal to spread greater awareness about BDD. Although no new pilgrimage is planned for 2016, there remain many opportunities to continue our efforts. Public awareness about BDD is slowly but surely growing, as evidenced, for instance, by the March 6 article in The Guardian. How we would have felt supported by such an article during Nathaniel's illness! Families continue to contact us through the Walking With Nathaniel website, seeking help for their children with BDD. We are always happy to provide what we would have wanted for ourselves: someone to simply listen to our story of struggle and to understand in some measure our son's and our family's suffering.
The Body Dysmorphic Disorder Special Interest Group (BDD SIG) at IOCDF meets three or four times a year by phone and in person at the Annual OCD Conference to discuss strategies to make information and professional support more readily available to sufferers, their families and their friends, and to ensure the best ongoing research into this illness. The group consists of an impressive team of experts in the BDD field and also includes individuals like us who are dedicated to spreading awareness. One major undertaking of the BDD SIG was the creation in 2014 of the BDD website, a new sub-section of the IOCDF website—where anyone can find the most up-to-date-information about BDD. It is a treasure-trove of information.
Each action we take—planned pilgrimages, annual awareness walks, the BDD Mini-series at the Annual OCD Conference, the work of the BDD SIG, formal and informal conversations among professionals, sufferers, their families and friends—helps to build the momentum of awareness, and helps to eradicate prejudice and ignorance about brain disorders.
Fall 2015—Il Cammino di San Francesco
It has been a lifelong dream to be present in the hometown of St. Francis on his feast day, October 4. The dream finally came true! This fall Judy and I traveled to Europe to walk the newly restored Way of Saint Francis (Il Cammino di San Francesco) from Rome to Assisi. We traveled the 150 miles by foot from the Eternal City to the birthplace of Francis. With trail map in hand and a rough sense of direction (we have heard that the Way has fewer directional signs than the Camino, and it's true), we passed through many small Italian towns along the way—Monte Sacro, Monterotondo, Ponticelli, Reiti, Terni, Spoleto, and Foligno, Spello, traversing the province of Umbria lengthwise and appreciating its rustic and beautiful landscapes. We think Saint Francis, Patron Saint of the environment, approved of our petroleum-free efforts and simplicity of dress! We blogged as we went, a tradition that began in 2013 on the "Camino de Nathaniel" (Cheyney, PA to Boston). We raised awareness about brain disorders by sharing Nathaniel's story when possible, while we boosted our own mental health through hard physical effort in a carefree Franciscan spirit. Dear friends and retired Westtown colleagues, Tim and Terry James, joined us for the final week of the walk. Buon Cammino!
Spring 2015: Further down the path
Year four brought new opportunities for Judy, Carrie, and me to raise awareness about OCD/BDD by sharing Nathaniel's story. On April 25, 2015, we offered a concert at Westtown School, a second "Singing Us Forward" event (the first was in April 2012 before my pilgrimage to Boston). A collection of artists shared their vocal and instrumental talents to raise funds for BDD research.
It is puzzling why BDD, a significant brain disorder that affects up to 2% of the population, attracts far fewer donations than illnesses which impact fewer people. Granted, there is nothing glitzy about a disease whose sufferers struggle in silence, are often housebound, and live in isolation. There is nothing sensational to catch our attention unless we are those sufferers, their families, or their friends. And let's be honest; brains disorders still illicit prejudices. The millions of people with brain disorders deserve the equivalent of the ice bucket challenge to support research and treatment.
In April, 2015, Carrie successfully ran the Boston Marathon on the Samaritans Team—a New England organization that supports suicide survivors, intervenes with those who are considering taking their lives, and educates the public about suicide. Click here to read her captivating blogs as she prepared for and tackled this auspicious event. Last year she trained faithfully through a harsh Boston winter, but an injury two weeks before the race forced her to drop out. The 2015 winter surpassed last year's record cold and snowfalls, yet Carrie kept up her training. On race day, she completed the course in 4 hours in 43 degree rain with a 20 knot headwind the whole way. What resolve and determination! Over the past two year, she was able to raise over $28,000 for this wonderful cause.
On June 6, 2015 the third annual 1 Million Steps 4 OCD Awareness Walk took place at Jamaica Pond in Boston. I like to think that our collective walking and running steps — Judy's, Carrie's and mine — have helped shape this annual event for the International OCD Foundation. Many people walked with us that day to raise needed funds and to remove the stigma associated with these disorders. It is by coming together for such an event that we create community and a strong web of mutual support.
2014: The Journey Continues
7,400,000 steps (over 3,700 miles) later, we continue to tell Nathaniel's story. One pilgrimage has morphed into another, and the legacy of miles has had its impact. More people know about BDD and OCD and are willing to seek help, share stories, and support each other. When we walked the Camino de Santiago in the spring of 2011 after Nathaniel died, Judy, Carrie, and I knew that our journey in Spain was only the beginning, and our commitment to raise awareness has not diminished since. We are humbled by the unanticipated ways that Nathaniel's story has spread.
In the fall of 2013, our daughter Carrie was selected to join the Samaritans Team to run the 2014 Boston Marathon. Her commitment to the project never faltered despite a relentless winter. If running was her brother's passion in life despite his illness, then she would run these 26.2 miles to honor him at his game. Her weekly blogs described her rigorous training routines, the capriciousness of the New England winter, and the inner landscape of her emotions during her long runs. Judy and I are in awe of her fortitude.
A mere two weeks before the race, Carrie slipped in stocking feet on the wrought iron staircase in her apartment and badly fractured her big toe; running was in an instant no longer an option. Despite this devastating disappointment and sense of incompleteness in being unable to finish a herculean task that she was more than ready for, Carrie rallied for her teammates on race day and cheered them from the sidelines. As I stood by her side on Heartbreak Hill (mile 21), I knew that our choice of location was poignant not only for the runners. Her heart needed mending too. She joined the race with teammate Katy for half a mile, broken toe be damned.
On June 7, 2014, the second annual 1 Million Steps 4 OCD Awareness Walk took place place at Jamaica Pond in Boston, and a large crowd looped the Pond twice, building solidarity and spreading awareness. We can feel the momentum building. Nathaniel didn't choose his illness, but he walked it with courage. We are doing the same to help others.
2013: Nathaniel's spirit lives on
Who could have anticipated that when I took over a million steps in the spring of 2012 to get from Cheyney, PA to Boston in honor of Nathaniel and to raise awareness about BDD and OCD, that my experience would reap so many rewards? I talked with 250 people en route, received support from hundreds of donors, and raised over $30,000 for the International OCD Foundation. We have met and talked with many courageous families who have also been ravaged by these cruel disorders.
Building on the success of my 2012 walk, the International OCD Foundation launched a nation-wide campaign "1,000,000+ Steps for OCD Awareness" – the first annual walk that encompassed supporters from across the county, culminating in a 5K walk in Boston on June 8, 2013. Walks are held annually for Aids, Diabetes, and Breast Cancer, because people still suffer from these illnesses. It is no different for OCD and BDD which continue to disrupt the lives of sufferers and those who love them. Until there is greater awareness of these disorders and more effective treatment or a cure, we have work to do.
On the second anniversary of Nathaniel's death, the void of his absence still profoundly affects our family and his friends. We miss him, and we want his life to matter. I thought last June I would be finished walking, but clearly the journey to find meaning and solace has only just begun. As part of the "1,000,000+ Steps for OCD Awareness," I will start a new pilgrimage in May, 2013 – "Walking With Nathaniel South" from Cheyney, PA to Washington, D.C. I am thrilled to be adding 920,000 steps more to this important cause.
When a spiritual seeker once asked the Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh how to recover from the loss of her son, he pondered awhile, then answered, "Walk!" On April 15, 2011, our 24-year-old son Nathaniel took his own life after a 13-year struggle with BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder). This devastating illness robbed the world of a magnificent human being; Nathaniel was fiercely intelligent, unfailingly kind, and universally loved. He could make other people laugh like no one else. As my wife Judy, daughter Carrie, and I grappled with the injustice and enormity of our loss, we took Thich Nhat Hanh's advice. We flew to Spain and walked the ancient pilgrimage route, the Camino de Santiago, to grieve and to honor Nathaniel's life. While in Spain, I caught "Camino Fever" and developed symptoms back home––the irresistible urge to walk. During these peregrinations the "Walking with Nathaniel" project was born.
See a gallery of the Camino de Santiago Pilgrimage
From April 24 to June 7, 2012 a second pilgrimage from my front door in Cheyney, PA took me to Boston, MA, home of the International OCD Foundation. The 552-mile route included stops at hospitals, clinics, doctors' offices, and treatment facilities that were part of Nathaniel's journey, as well as places of joy such as The Bryn Mawr Birth Center, Goshen Friends School, The Shipley School, Westtown School (where he was a student, teacher and coach), and the Good Fellowship Ambulance and EMS unit where he often volunteered.
I walked to raise awareness about BDD and to generate funds for desperately needed research. By finding better treatment, we can offer to others the hope that Nathaniel needed and so richly deserved. To support the walk, friends and family created their own events, some joined me on short segments of the walk, and many contributed to the OCD Foundation to transform Nathaniel's suffering and our family's pain into new possibilities for others.
Let the cry of the Camino pilgrims be ours, "Ultreya!" ("Let's go for it!")

New Obamacare ad campaign: Enroll, because your pets need you
**Written by Doug Powers
"If you loved me you'd do it" has sparked some poor decisions throughout history — even poorer when the command came from an animal.
From USA Today:
A multimillion-dollar Affordable Care Act advertising campaign launches today targeting young women, who are more likely to enroll in health insurance and are the best hope for signing up their more risk-oriented male counterparts, backers say.
The campaign by the non-profit advocacy group Enroll America uses pets to reach its audience and launches with less than two months to go before the March 31 deadline for enrollment. Enroll America says about 81% of the public doesn't know about the deadline and 69% of people don't know that financial help is available to those with incomes below 400% of the poverty level.
Not mentioned in the new batch of ads targeted to "Gen Y" women is that Obamacare might also help give them a lot more time to spend with their pets.
Speaking of pets, back when President Obama promised "if you like your plan you can keep your plan," even my **dog didn't believe it.
**Pictured here re-enacting the beginning of "Patton"
What do these ads say about what the Obama administration perceives the intelligence level of their target demo to be?
Those look like Saturday morning PSAs warning kids not to try to jam forks into electrical outlets, except dumbed down a little.

Microsoft Makes Flash Click-to-Play in Edge Browser Update
A break from Internet Explorer's past, indeed. This summer, Microsoft is putting users in control of Flash content on Web pages.Edge, Internet Explorer's successor, is the default Web browser that ships with Windows 10. And with the upcoming highly anticipated Anniversary Update for the operating system (OS), Microsoft is making it so that unsuspecting users no longer have to scramble for their volume controls when they land on a Web page with auto-playing Adobe Flash ads. A recently released preview build of the OS includes an update to the Edge browser aimed at giving users more control over Flash's impact on PC performance, according to John Hazen, principal program manager lead for Microsoft Edge. "Peripheral content like animations or advertisements built with Flash will be displayed in a paused state unless the user explicitly clicks to play that content," said Hazen in an April 4 announcement. "This significantly reduces power consumption and improves performance while preserving the full fidelity of the page." There are exceptions, noted Hazen. If Flash "is central to the page," as is often the case with video streaming and Web games, the content will not be paused.
While Adobe Flash helped popularize interactive content and media streaming on the Web, the technology is past its prime, Hazen said. Modern Web standards like HTML5 have outpaced Flash, providing better experiences with lower penalties on computer processors, system memory and battery life, he added.
