Social position and tradition was very important in ancient Chinese
culture. An individual's position in society was often indicated by the
types of clothing worn, or the symbols embroidered on their garments.
For the wealthy, fabrics were endlessly luxurious and comfortable ...
except for the peculiar tradition of Chinese footbinding. Whether native
to the East or to the West, women have suffered for the price of beauty.
Clothing was embroidered in ancient times with symbols indicating one's
social position, especially those designed for imperial
court robes. Embroidery designs later became purely ornamental,
decorating traditional silk robes
and accessories with plants, fruit, birds, flowers, and other forms of
nature. Traditional robes were relatively plain in structure, loose and
comfortable in comparison with the corseted designs of many Western fashions
over the years.
However, the Chinese tradition of footbinding
for the upper classes caused permanent damage to a woman's feet - all
for the sake of beauty, pride, and husband hunting. If feet were not bound,
a girl would become a "large-footed barbarian" and cause shame
to her family.
Between the ages of three and seven, girls' feet were tightly wrapped
to begin the process of bending down the foot in order to break the bones
of the instep. By the time of her wedding at the age of fourteen, a bride's
fashionably-sized foot measured only three inches long. The convex top
of the foot sloped to the large toe, still facing upward, but the other
four toes had been imbedded underneath into the sole of the foot. Common
complications included ulceration, paralysis, even gangrene and the loss
of toes.
Footbinding may have started as early as the Tang Dynasty (618-906) when
dancers of the imperial harem could hover like lotuses suspended above
the surface of a pool. Soon, "the Golden Lotus" or "lily
feet" custom had spread from the imperial court to society in general,
creating pure agony for generations of Chinese women. The practice was
banned in 1902, though it continued well into the 1920s.

Metallica to celebrate 25th anniversary of first Grammy performance
Listen to Metallica on iHeartRadio
Win or lose, Metallica will still be celebrating at this year's Grammys. The metal vets have been added to the award show's list of performers, and they say they're psyched to be returning to the event.
The Grammy gig will be Metallica's first since 1992. But the band also notes that it comes on the 25th anniversary of their first Grammy performance ever in 1989, which was the first time any hard rock act had played the event.
As for this year's performance, they're set to share the stage with concert pianist Lang Lang for what they're calling one of the most unique performances of their career.
Metallica also said they're very proud that their Through the Never soundtrack was nominated for Best Recording package, and they hope designers Turner Duckworth can snag another win. They also took home a Grammy for their work on "Death Magnetic."
The 56th annual Grammy Awards are scheduled to take place on January 26th and will be broadcast live on CBS.

Whether it's nutritional bars, protein powders, ready-to-drink sports beverages, or vitamins, essential minerals, and herbs, Optimum Nutrition is able to control the integrity of all products through in-house manufacturing.

HistoryOptimum Nutrition was founded in 1986 by brothers Tony and Michael Costello. Originally known as Costello's Health Distributors, the entrepreneurial brothers soon recognized an opportunity in the need for significantly improved quality and innovative vision in the sports nutrition industry. The Optimum Nutrition brand was launched to satisfy both demands, and after 22 years of success reflected in great part by the ongoing best-selling status of ON Gold Standard 100% Whey, the Costello's entered into agreement to sell the company to the international cheese and nutritional ingredients group Glanbia.

Quality CountsOptimum Nutrition's commitment to quality is evident throughout the entire product development process. Before a single machine is turned on they carefully select vendors who supply premium raw materials. All vendors must provide a Certificate of Analysis for each raw material as a continued measure of quality. These certificates are then verified through random in-house and independent laboratory testing. Highly sophisticated equipment confirms the purity and potency of every ingredient on their labels. To further diminish any chance of physical, chemical, and microbiological contaminants, they have established and implemented their own Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) program. Quality assurance professionals make routine checks on all storage, blending, and production areas and conduct final inspections daily. Together, these procedures allow Optimum Nutrition to constantly deliver first-rate sports nutrition supplements under the strictest quality control standards known as current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs). Customer SatisfactionFrom the beginning, Optimum Nutrition's customers have been their number one priority. While strict quality control, lab testing, and manufacturing under tightly controlled conditions are all very important, they are all done for one reason – to bring you high quality, affordable supplements. They pride themselves on customer loyalty and are pleased to report that nearly all of their first-time customers become devoted patrons. You can be confident that from the moment a product is conceived to the moment it leaves their facility they put only the best into Optimum Nutrition so you only put the best into your body.

1992 Mazda Navajo Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1992 Mazda Navajo based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
If the engine stalls when coming to a stop and/or has a rough idle, it may be due to sludge accumulation in the throttle body and idle air control valve. The throttle body and idle air control valve will need to be cleaned if there is buildup.
If the engine cranks but does not start, it may be caused by a tripped inertia switch. Switch the key to "ON" and the fuel pump should be heard running for a second or two. Listen at the gas filler if necessary. The inertia switch is located on the firewall and can be tripped when the parking brake is set too hard and then released. The inertia switch should be reset, and will click when it is reset.
The O-ring seals in the AC couplings can develop leaks. The condenser can also crack and leak, which is sometimes misdiagnosed as a leaking coupling. The condenser cracks out of sight, under the radiator support, so it looks like the coupler is leaking. Leak testing with fluorescent dye will help locate the exact source of the leak.
Failure to change the power steering fluid can cause the fluid to become gray with metal particles. The contaminated fluid can damage the power steering pump resulting in a growling noise when the wheel is turned; the damaged pump will require replacement to eliminate the noise.. Life of the power steering gearbox and pump will be shortened if the fluid is not serviced regularly.
The front brakes may stick, bind, or grab. This can happen when the front brake caliper pins become corroded. Cleaning or replacing the caliper pins will be necessary to correct this problem.
If a noise from the rear end is heard when going around turns or after driving at highway speed for an extended period, this could be caused by a failing deferential clutch kit. An updated differential clutch kit available.
The radius arm bushing may wear, causing a clunking or popping noise when driving over bumps. To repair, the bushings need to be replaced. Depending on the severity of the wear, the brackets may also need replacement. Driving with worn bushings will shorten tire life and cause tire cupping (uneven tire wear).

Tuesday nights are not usually as entertaining or as interesting as The Video Games BAFTA awards ceremony last week. LEGO® The Lord Of The Rings™ was nominated twice for both Best Family Game and Best British Game and the excellent LEGO® Batman 2 was also nominated for Best Family Game!
The event itself was full of industry veterans and creative types and was the first time I ever had the pleasure of wearing a tuxedo! It was held at The Hilton Park Lane and was an amazing venue for such a glitzy night.
The event began and very quickly our first category came up: "Best Family Game". We were up against a very strong collection of contenders and I am very proud to say that LEGO® Batman 2 was announced as the winner! Everyone was ecstatic for the team who developed the project from start to finish and suddenly we were all on stage. I was lucky enough to accept the award on behalf of the team and lift the BAFTA aloft! Unfortunately LEGO® The Lord Of The Rings™ didn't win a BAFTA this year but to be nominated for two separate awards was amazing and I thank everyone who voted for us :-)
Words can't describe how proud I am to be a part of a studio that has won such an award and I can only thank the team who developed LEGO® Batman 2 for being so great as to get us there in the first place and win!
Here's a nice group shot of the team who attended the event with the LEGO® Batman 2 BAFTA for Best Family Game.

I know Lester is considered the ace or whatever, but I'd rather have Buch out there in a must win game.... and I believe he's having a better year than Lester.
What do you think? Lester or Buch so far this year?
I know Lester is considered the ace or whatever, but I'd rather have Buch out there in a must win game.... and I believe he's having a better year than Lester.
What do you think? Lester or Buch so far this year?
|Sponsored Links
ITS buchholz! HARDEST NAME TO TYPE ON THIS SITE
Hoestly, this could probably be in the Red Sox forum, and you should probably spell Buchholz's name correctly.
To answer the question, the only thing Buchholz has on Lester this year is ERA. Lester has the superior peripherals, and he's done this before.
Wow both had no-hitters what are the odds
lester...without a doubt. lower WHIP, 30 more innings pitched, 80 more strikeouts, lower BAA in the same amount of starts.
I'd much rather have Mr. Automatic in Lester. But I'm glad the Sox have both pitchers. I cannot for the life of me figure out why we took Lackey at such a deal with the talent we already had at SP.
Worst GM move of Theo's career.
Or player comparisons lol
|Sponsored Links
Lester has been a top 10 ML pitcher going back to the end of the 2007 season, he's a lefty too boot.
Buchholz has been fine going back to sometime in the 2nd half last year. In the period he's probably top 15 ML wide, but the lack of innings hurts his cause.
Lester easily.
Also, it's the first year of Lackey. Signing him was a better move then signing Bay. Let's hold the axe for now.
6/27/09: We expect [Rondo] to play by the rules and be a leader as a point guard. We need him to be more of a leader, Ainge said. There were just a couple situations where he was late this year, I dont know if he was sitting in his car, but showed up late and the rest of the team was there. We have team rules and you have to be on time. He was fined for being late, he said he was stuck in traffic, and its just unacceptable.
told you all since 2010 he was a toolbag.....
when is the Mod gonna realize baseballguru3 is really Lou Holtz Lisp
Why is everyone using past performances and evaluating from that who has been the better pitcher between the two? The past has nothing to do with my question which was who has been the better pitcher between the two this year.....not through their careers thus far or going forward.
It's crazy to me that his own Boston fans would underrate Buchholz.....he's a moster and is coming into his own. I'd have to think real hard between Lester and Buchholz for the future...certainly no "easily lester" about it.
Did you think the same thing about Matsuzaka? Anyone can have a fluke year.
I'm not saying Buchholz is having a fluke year, just that his peripherals aren't as solid as Lester's. Because of that, there's more chance of regression. With Lester, who is still improving as well (only 26), you're pretty much guaranteed a top ten ML wide pitcher. With Buchholz, there's much less certainty for his career, for next year, and even for his next start.
PS - You didn't mean their careers going forward, but you'd have to think hard between Lester and Buchholz for the future... Lol
It doesn't matter that Lester strikes more guys out or that his FIP and all that stuff is better...that's more prediction stats than what actually has happened.... fact of the matter is that Buch is better at preventing runs than Lester is this year by a pretty wide margin.....and that's not to mention bucholz has left on 13 runners on base while leaving the game and 5 of them have scored... above league average...so his ERA and ERA+ would be even better if the pen picked him up at a normal rate.....
meanwhile Lester has let on 13 runners while leaving the game and only 1 of them have scored....so his era should stand to be a little higher....
Buchholz is having the better year. At the very least in Buchholz case is they have pitched on the same level when you consider the innings advantage Lester has.
Let the underrating of Buchholz continue though.
A 2.69 ERA is better than 2.80 by a wide margin? I don't think you're very good at math Lou Holtz.

Did you know?
Sandstone Estates runs the largest private collection of narrow-gauge steam locomotives in the world.
As you're driving on the R26 along South Africa's border with Lesotho, look east and you'll see the magnificent Maluti Mountains catching the morning sunlight.
Completing the picture – if it's your lucky day – will be a narrow-gauge steam locomotive chugging past in the distance, twin plumes of black smoke and white-coloured steam trailing in the air. If he sees you, the driver might toot in greeting.
One of South Africa's greatest privately owned heritage assets is the steam train collection at Sandstone Estates, near Ficksburg in the eastern Free State.
South Africa was once a world leader in steam. Sandstone Estates wants to re-establish South Africa as the top steam railway destination in the world. Sandstone Estates' efforts are an integral part of the Steam In Action movement to preserve and rehabilitate many of the great old locomotives that once ran all over the country. The other two big players in South African steam preservation are Reef Steamers and Friends of the Rail.
Understanding the tourism value of this nostalgic form of rail travel, Sandstone Estates have built up a faithful following of overseas steam train enthusiasts who come out to South Africa to attend the various functions laid on throughout the year. One of the highlights of the calendar for steam train fans is an annual 10-day steam festival hosted at Sandstone Estates in March, April or May.
There is also great local support for the trains: every November during the Ficksburg Cherry Festival, Sandstone Estates gets involved and offers walking tours through the vintage sheds. They then get the chance to poke around the many sheds at Sandstone and marvel at the wide range of preserved farm machinery, classic cars and military vehicles on show.

SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced that Achmea, the largest insurance group in the Netherlands, is among the first to choose SAP® Insurance Analyzer analytic applications to address international accounting and regulatory issues.
New standards in financial reporting and risk management pose challenges for the insurance industry, especially with the implementation of the new accounting rules for insurance contracts (IFRS4) and the Solvency II standard model. With SAP Insurance Analyzer, Achmea will adapt an integrated standard model in order to address these regulations while improving data management and data quality.
Based in the Netherlands, Achmea offers life and non-life insurance and health and banking products and services in the region. Similar to any organization that operates on a global scale, the company needs to comply with all regulations, including IFRS4 and Solvency II. Due to its complex application infrastructure with many legacy policy and claims applications, there is a need to implement an integrated platform that streamlines the collection of all data from several different legacy systems and to process them for the regulatory organizations. Achmea plans to deploy SAP Insurance Analyzer over the next two years and will commence the implementation with the IFRS4 regulation.
"The protection of policyholders and the promotion of fair and stable markets have driven the evolution of regulations for the global insurance industry," said René Wissing, head of Enterprise Architecture, Achmea. "With the expanded needs for compliance, a solid integrated platform such as SAP Insurance Analyzer is critical in managing and streamlining the process and analyzing the enormous amount of data for our organization. SAP will allow us to further solidify those data management capabilities."
With SAP Insurance Analyzer, Achmea can take an integrated approach to finance and risk management, addressing changes in the scope and timing of new rules and leveraging data and processes for multiple accounting standards and risk approaches. Features and benefits of the analytic applications include:

Gillheeney fills big hole for Rainiers
M's prospect tosses 6 2/3 scoreless innings in Triple-A debut
By Sam Dykstra / Special to MLB.com | April 30, 2013 8:54 PM ET
James Gillheeney was told Sunday that he'd be heading out to Triple-A Tacoma for the first time, but it wouldn't be under the best of circumstances.
The Mariners learned they had lost Danny Hultzen -- their No. 2 prospect -- for at least a month due to a rotator cuff strain and tendinitis in his left shoulder. Gillheeney was the one who would replace him in the Rainiers rotation.
No pressure or anything.
"I really don't like thinking about pressure like that," Gillheeney said. "I don't really try to feel much at all, to be honest. They gave me this opportunity and now I have to make the most of it."
Well, he's done a pretty good job so far.
Gillheeney (1-0) struck out nine and allowed four hits and a walk over 6 2/3 innings in his Triple-A debut Tuesday night, pitching Tacoma to a 4-0 blanking of visiting Tucson.
"Tonight was really exciting," said the 25-year-old left-hander. "I got the news I would be here on Sunday and I was really excited about it. Now it feels good to get the first one out of the way. I'm just glad we were able to get the win."
Gillheeney, who utilized a cutter-changeup-curveball mix to keep Tucson off-balance, did not allow more than one Padre to reach base in an inning. Of the five who did, only Rocky Gale reached scoring position after a third-inning double. He exited after a pair of strikeouts in the seventh ran his pitch count up to 90, including 61 strikes.
The nine strikeouts were an easy season-high -- he combined for eight in four starts at Double-A Jackson -- and his highest single-game total since Aug. 31, 2012 for the Generals.
"Strikeouts are always nice," he said. "But that's never really in my game plan. I'm more focused on pitching to early contact and trying to keep a minimal pitch count. I just want to keep the game moving and today, I was able to throw a pretty good amount of strikes, which was always helpful."
Even if the punchout numbers haven't quite been there this season, Gillheeney was no simple throw-in to the Tacoma roster after Hultzen went down. The former North Carolina product was 2-0 in four starts for Jackson with a 1.12 WHIP and a 1.21 ERA that ranked second in the Southern League.
That's a solid start for a hurler who put up combined ERAs of 5.09 and 5.39 between Jackson and Class A Advanced High Desert in 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Now the Rhode Island native will have to try his best to continue that success at his highest level yet, all while replacing one of the game's top pitching prospects.
"They told me I would be pitching in Danny Hultzen's spot," Gillheeney said, "but they also said just to go out there and pitch my game like I have been lately. That's all I'm here to do and that's all I'm focused on."
Danny Farquhar struck out five over 2 1/3 innings to earn his third save of the season, while Mariners No. 4 prospect Nick Franklin went 3-for-3 with a walk to raise his batting average to .410.

Name at birth: Madonna Louise Ciccone
Madonna used a mixture of talent, pulchritude and relentless self-promotion to become one of the most enduring recording artists of the 20th century. She released her self-titled first album in 1983 in the guise of a streetwise pop ragamuffin, and over time she kept one step ahead of the game by jumping from persona to persona: dance club queen, balladeer, cowgirl, channeler of the Mysterious East, and aging Dietrich-style vamp. Her other albums have included Like a Virgin (1984, with the hit single "Material Girl" giving her a new nickname), Ray of Light (1998), Music (2000), American Life (2003), Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005) and Hard Candy (released in 2008, the year she turned 50). She has also acted in over a dozen movies, including Dick Tracy (1990, with Warren Beatty) and A League of Their Own (1992, with Rosie O'Donnell). No stranger to controversy, Madonna has long been a favorite of the tabloids on topics ranging from her racy videos and TV appearances to her sometimes-mystical religious beliefs to her marriages to actor Sean Penn (1985-89) and filmmaker Guy Ritchie (they married in 2000, and divorced in 2008). Her daughter Lourdes was born in October of 1996, fathered by Madonna's personal trainer, Carlos Leon. In August of 2000 Madonna and Ritchie had a son, Rocco. In October of 2006 they adopted a a motherless 13-month-old child, David Banda, from the African country of Malawi. She adopted a second child from Malawi, Chifundo "Mercy" James, in 2009.
Madonna performed at halftime of the 2012 Super Bowl… She attended the University of Michigan on a dance scholarship… Her daughter Lourdes is named for the site where Bernadette Soubirous saw visions of the Virgin Mary… A fall from a horse in 2005 left Madonna with a broken collarbone and three cracked ribs… The RIAA reported in 2008 that Madonna had sold over 63 million albums in her career.

LONG BEACH -- City leaders want to help residents lead healthier, more active lives after a study last year showed alarmingly high levels of obesity in Long Beach Unified School District students.
"Move Long Beach," a healthful-living initiative modeled after First Lady Michelle Obama's 2-year-old "Let's Move!" campaign, will be introduced to the City Council Tuesday.
The legislation was written to promote exercise and wholesome food choices, especially for children, by integrating the city's health-related physical activities into the mobility element of the general plan, create online health information resources and encourage the hosting of health-awareness events.
"People that are healthier work more, are more productive and are able to do things to be successful both at home and work," said Councilman Robert Garcia, the measure's author.
Garcia is joined in support by co-sponsors Suja Lowenthal, Steve Neal and James Johnson.
The childhood obesity rate has tripled in the United States during the last three decades, national statistics show. Almost 1 in 3 children are considered overweight or obese.
A study released in August by nonprofit think tank ReThinking Greater Long Beach analyzed the Body Mass Index of more than 5,000 fifth-, seventh- and ninth-graders collected in the Long Beach Unified School District between 2003 to 2010.
According to the data, an estimated 31 percent of those in grade five, 25 percent of seventh-graders and 21 percent of ninth-graders were obese.
The numbers were higher among African-American and Latino children, almost 40 percent of whom were overweight or obese.
Rates also jumped in low-income areas. Northwest Long Beach had the highest obesity levels at 36 percent. Park Estates near Cal State Long Beach had the lowest at 8 percent.
Experts point to the low availability of fresh fruits and vegetables close to homes in poorer areas as a catalyst for high obesity rates.
Long Beach has made strides in recent years to improve resident health and is taking steps to add more healthful beverages to vending machines on city property.
The Neighborhood Store Partnership, a city program administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, works with smaller retailers to promote sales of produce where there aren't larger markets.
Earlier this month, Kaiser Permanente announced it was giving the city a three-year, $1 million grant targeted at low-income neighborhoods to spur improved diets and inspire more exercise.
Garcia said the measures show that Long Beach has the infrastructure for more health-conscious living, but noted that it could be better organized, much like the city's campaign to encourage bicycling.
Long Beach's commitment to cycling was on display in June, when Mayor Bob Foster, an avid cyclist, helped dedicate the new $1.2 million Bikestation facility at the city's Transit Mall.
The location offers 100 secured indoor bicycle parking spaces and other amenities ideal for cyclists looking to take public transportation or make a pit stop.
Today, the council will also consider another motion by Garcia directing city staff to draft a HEAL Cities Resolution.
HEAL, or Healthy Eating Active Living Cities, is a campaign promoted by the League of California Cities and the California Center for Public Health Advocacy that helps municipalities adopt policies to improve physical activity and food choices for their residents.
The council meets at 5 p.m. in City Hall, 333 W. Ocean Blvd. The meeting can be viewed live on Charter Communications Channel 3, Verizon FiOS Channel 21 and online at www.longbeach.gov.

What kinds of courses create an individualized major or minor?
The major is intended to fit your interests within a unified plan of study. Ten courses that you like do not necessarily add up to a major. Interdepartmental programs are for students whose interests do not fit inside a single department. Some proposals are turned down because students have unwittingly constructed a "watered-down" version of a major which appears to circumvent a few required courses in an existing major. Your faculty advisers, as well as advisers in the Multidisciplinary Studies Center (MSC) in Lattimore 203, will help you talk over these issues. Strive for models of coherence and cohesiveness.
Must I create a major or minor just like one that has been approved in the past?
No. This is a major or minor that you create yourself. Creating a major or minor with the same courses that have been approved in the past does not necessarily mean that your program will be approved. Your essays and faculty recommendations are read carefully by the Committee, and are weighted heavily.
May I take courses outside the College or transfer courses to an individualized major or minor?
Yes. For an interdepartmental major, you may take up to two courses in other UR colleges. Your program should be in the spirit of a liberal arts education and should be centered on work in the College. The committee is unlikely to accept a proposal which consists substantially of work done at another university. Normally no more than two courses taken outside the College may be included in a student's core program, although there are exceptions, such as study abroad programs and majors where students will benefit from wider exposure to other environments.
For an interdepartmental minor, all courses must normally be taken within the College.
What levels of courses can I use?
You may use some 100-level courses, but the major or minor consists primarily of upper-level work. Normally, language courses at the intermediate level or above may be included.
Can I have an individualized major and another major or minor?
Yes. Up to two courses used to fulfill requirements in another major or minor may be used towards the core of an interdepartmental major. No courses for an interdepartmental minor may overlap with courses from another major or minor.
How do I choose faculty advisers?
Perhaps your interest in an individualized major or minor grew out of your coursework with one or more faculty members. An adviser in the Multidisciplinary Studies Center (Lattimore 203) can brainstorm with you. Two faculty members must agree to serve as major advisers and will assist you in the development of your proposal. At least one of the advisers must hold the rank of Assistant Professor or higher. A minor requires only one adviser.
How do I write the essays?
Think about how your proposal constitutes a significant departure from an existing major or minor. Why is it different? In what ways? How does it allow you to understand the theme in a way that simply taking a variety of courses in different departments does not allow? Discuss how each of the courses relate to one another, and to the major or minor as a whole.
Can an interdepartmental major or minor fulfill a divisional Cluster?
Yes, provided that your proposal clearly defines one of the divisions: Humanities, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences. If the majority of your proposed courses fall within the Social Sciences, for example, you may ask to have your major or minor fall within the Social Sciences division. You will then choose clusters in the other two areas.
What is the time frame for declaring an individualized major or minor?
You're expected to have an officially declared major by the time you have earned 64 credit hours, normally by the end of the sophomore year. Proposals are carefully reviewed and evaluated by the CIIP once a semester, in April and November. The deadlines for submitting a completed proposal are April 1 and November 1 of the first semester of senior year. All majors and minors must be approved by the end of the first semester of senior year.
How do I fulfill the upper-level writing requirement?
Students must take two designated writing courses in each of their majors. Courses designated as fulfilling the writing requirements of other departments, and individualized upper-level writing courses may be used. You may also designate an Independent Study course in the major as partial fulfillment of the requirement.

It didn't take Jesse Amos Bunker long to establish a new life in Mexico.
In less than five years, the 33-year-old had purportedly built a nice life for himself, complete with a wife and a 1-year-old child, said Sgt. Jason Randall, who works with the Utah County Sheriff's Office Fugitive Investigations Unit and the Joint Criminal Apprehension Team (JCAT).
But Bunker also had a secret.
In March 2009, he had posted $20,000 bond for 10 first-degree felony counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child. A few months later, he fled to Mexico. He had been hiding there since, police say.
This month, Bunker's past caught up with him as Utah County sheriff's deputies, Mexican authorities and JCAT closed in. He was arrested in Colima, Mexico, which is a small state on the Pacific coast.
"He was very surprised when he was arrested," Randall said. "He had no idea how he was found. … One minute he was living his life with his wife and child, and 24 hours later, he was sitting in the L.A. County Jail. So [the operation to capture him] worked really well."
Randall said he wasn't sure if Bunker's wife knew about the criminal charges.
On Monday, Bunker was returned to the Utah County Jail.
On Tuesday, a 4th District judge ordered him held on a $1 million cash-only bond for bail jumping.
Bunker, who was born and raised in America, couldn't resist using social media, Randall said. That helped investigators track his whereabouts over the past three years, Bunker said.
"It was very good work by my investigators," he said. "This could not have happened without the Marshal's Service. It was definitely a team effort right down the line."

edited** I have the BT5 32bit vmware version
BT4 R2 Fresh install comes with
Aircrack 1.1 r1738
BT5 released with
Aircrack 1.1 r1899
With a fresh install of BT4 R2 I can successfully run airodump and pickup a 4 way handshake on my test network, and successfully run a dictionary to crack it.
With BT5, and the latest r1899 release of aircrack I can run airodump on the same network no changes, and it will tell me it has picked up the 4 way, however when I try to run that same dictionary on the cap it never finds the password. To further test the caps I analyzed the file with cowpatty and it tells me the 4 way was not completed.
I have run this test several times with the same end every time. Is there a patch or something for r1899 that will help with this issue I have not found yet?
I'm not entirely sure if this even belongs in the BT5 forums since I believe it is a aircrack issue not a BT issue. But here it is none the less.

Clinical Research Scholars Program (CRSP)
Principal Investigator: Dwight L. Evans, MD
Co-Principal Investigators: Anthony L. Rostain, MD and Michael E. Thase, MD
Our NIMH-funded Clinical Research Scholars Program (CRSP) grant provides protected time in the PGY2 through PGY4 years, as well as a full-time research PGY5 year, for two residents in each class who are interested in psychiatric clinical research. Residents apply to the CRSP program during the PGY1 year.
Research Training
The program includes intensive individual mentorship with senior faculty in the department, specialized didactics in research methods, and focused administrative support. Over 25 faculty members are involved in mentoring scholars and leading seminar sessions on conducting patient-oriented research.
Career Development and Goals
It is expected that these scholars will be able to secure academic positions following their training, and that they will be poised to become productive clinical researchers, helping to remedy the relative paucity of patient-oriented investigators in mental health research. Several recent CRSP graduates have joined the Department of Psychiatry faculty at UPenn.
Recent Projects
Some examples of recent Clinical Research Scholars' projects include:
- Neuroimaging of ADHD in adolescents
- TMS for auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia
- Sub-syndromal depression in geriatric primary care
- Cognitive deficits associated with depression
- Smoking and body image in adolescent females
- Assertive community treatment for chronic mental illness
- MAP kinase physiology in olfactory epithelium of patients with bipolar disorder
- Clinical profiles predictive of polypharmacy in seriously mental health consumers in community mental health programs
- VMAT1 in Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia
- The role of hope and positive attitudes about care in predicting participation in and outcomes of treatment
- Brain stimulation techniques for the treatment of severe depression
- Outcomes and preventative measurements for patients presenting with partial acute stress disorder following a trauma
- Cultural differences in description of depression in geriatric patients

The 430 unit Sheetz convenience store chain will have a new president and CEO with a familiar name in 2013.
The $6.3 billion company announced that Joe Sheetz, currently EVP of finance and store development, would become president and CEO and current president and CEO Stan Sheetz would assume the title of chairman. Current chairman Steve Sheetz fills a newly create position as the company's family council chairman. The changes take effect October 2013.
"While I am looking forward to serving the company in a new capacity, I am also extremely excited to see Joe takeover leadership as president and chief executive officer," said Stan Sheetz. "When his father Big Joe Sheetz passed away, Joe added the store development department to his responsibilities in finance, accounting and IT and has been doing a fantastic job! Joe is driven, bright and has the experience we need to help us write the next chapter of our company's history."
As a graduate of the Wharton School of Business at The University of Pennsylvania, Joe started at Sheetz in 1995 as director of personnel and became EVP of finance in 1996.
Stan Sheetz has been involved with the company on many levels his entire life and has served as president and CEO for the past 17 years.
The newly created family council position will allow Steve Sheetz to represent the Sheetz family shareholders in company related issues, while remaining as chairman of CLI Transport, Sheetz dedicated fuel carrier, and keeping his seat on the Sheetz board of directors.
"We always want to be sure the family has a strong role in the future of the company," said Steve Sheetz. "We'd like to ensure that Sheetz continues to be a family business. Bringing in a new generation of leadership is an exciting first step toward maintaining that legacy."
Founded in 1952, Sheetz operates 430 stores in the Pennsyvalnia, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio and North Carolina markets.

Every movie going experience is an adventure
You could bump into a friend, an actor or an usher
You could relate to what is unfolding on the silver screen
And stumble upon a toe or two in the dark
Be careful what you wish for though
When you're looking for answers
The universe conspires to show you so many
Last week, my friend was making me jealous…
He went to watch a film that I'd been begging him to come see
And of course, Imtiaz Ali had to be there for a promotional event
He's not expendable, that's quite proven
Disturbingly rather, he's being held back, tied to a chair
I like PVR. They always have promotional memorabilia on display.
I've clicked one too many pictures with Woody and others.
Of course, they're pushing Aisha a bit much now.
Anyway, Aisha was running a contest.
A special goody bag would be awarded to an interesting picture
taken with an Aisha poster.
Well, to be flanked by an Imtiaz Ali look-alike on one hand
And the eternal cowboy, Woody on the other
Is a lucky girl's perfect picture moment, mine at least.
Well, my life is always an adventure
I've been crushing on 'Dhruv' from Aisha
That we almost have the same name is just brownie points
Arunoday Singh was sitting in the same row
Just a few seats away. So, I had quite an eye-candy blast.
Amidst all the brawn of 'The Expendables'
For those of you wondering…
He says his life is pretty much the same post Aisha.
I guess only a couple thousand more crushes, maybe.
My girlfriends agree. 😛
And now for some Imtiaz Ali trivia.
I interviewed directors and stylists for a feature story.
And asked them one question.
Do you have a Hindi film inspired item of clothing?
Any guesses for Imtiaz Ali's response?
A belt with a Sholay buckle.
Cho chweet na? I like.
Apparently, you can now get all of Sholay on your belt.
So, do you have a Hindi film inspired decorative item?
Leave your answers in the comments section.
Signing off. Keep it filmy! Keep it stylish! *blows kisses*
PS – Yesterday India also celebrated Sholay's 35th anniversary. Fitting.

Hello all,
This should be my last question for my landing page's responsive design (special thanks to Ronpat for the invaluable knowledge and help). The form submission (i.d.'s of #submissionform and #successfulsubmit) that appears after #emailbox receives valid input was overlooked when putting together the fluid design. For the static design, the forms were positioned absolutely. Now, I'm thinking it may be the solution to remove the positioning property and just use margin:0 auto; to keep the forms in the center, but that's probably not it- that's already in the styles.
If you view the CSS for the forms, you will see that I tried to apply percentages instead of pixel values to the bottom and left properties. That works to a certain extent, until the browser becomes so thin in width.
margin:0 auto;
It is my goal to have the forms sit nicely in the center of the page, obviously.
The link to your landing page is malformed. If you still have time, click the "Edit" button and you can fix it.
Am looking at the code now. Will reply to question in a few minutes.
First, something has happened to the right margin of #lpcontent. That box should not be changed in any way.A width of 100% has been added and MUST BE DELETED. Beware of applying width:100% just because it looks useful. More often than not, it is unnecessary. In this case, it breaks the layout. Unless I've forgotten something or something has changed, the only thing that needs a 100% width on your page is the #blackoverlay.
#lpcontent {
margin: -38px -18px -68px;
min-height: 100px;
padding: 0;
position: relative;
[s]width: 100%;[/s] /* DELETE ME! */
Regarding the submission boxes...
Make the following change to #submissionform:
left:0;
right:0;
and adjust the bottom: property until you achieve a desirable vertical position (possibly using a suitable px value rather than a percent value. Hard to tell.). You'll have to experiment with that. You may have to change where that box is nested on the page. I'll explain more if you cannot find a satisfactory vertical position that works in wide and narrow viewports.
The width of #successfulsubmit is an image and is fixed at 450px. We'll take a different approach to centering it:
#successfulsubmit {
left:50%;
margin:0 0 0 -225px;
It will "fit" by overflowing the edges a little at the narrowest width. It would probably be advisable to redesign this box so it can be narrower.Using the same technique as the #submissionform box would be better if you care to redesign #successfulsubmit to have a fluid or narrower width.
Looks like the "Sign Me Up" buttons might need some vertical adjusting, too.
I really think you would be better off re-nesting all of these items. Vertical positioning would become much more predictable.
I thought I had gotten rid of all of the width:100% rules in there. It looks like you found a remaining one.
It looks like it is perfect vertical positioning now. I don't know what you are seeing as what you describe as predictable vertical positioning. I guess it would be nice if it would scroll up and down with the page. I believe that would be position:fixed;.
Right now, it looks like the width of #successfulsubmit is able to handle viewports down to less than 500px. I'm not sure I see the necessity of a re-design right now, but I know I have to make an entirely new design for mobile devices in the future.
The "Sign Me Up" buttons should be just fine. Just above it is an empty div, #errormessage, that displays output should the form submission be invalid.
You sound satisfied with the current layout. Cool.
It is unlikely that position:fixed; would accomplish what you seek. That positions the element relative to the window, not the page.
If nothing is flaming on your front burner, it would be worthwhile to explore nesting and positioning.
Right now, I'm banging on all cylinders to get this out on the advertising networks.
I'm all for bettering the layout for more users to get a better experience.
If you're referring to re-nesting it, then I guess you are suggesting I place the form content into a different location in the HTML?
I should learn more about these suggestions and consider the changes before I have 50 pages to change this up on.
Should I start a new thread on it? If there are some definite benefits to nesting the forms, I should take care of it before I get too ahead of myself.
Yes, about the HTML, and yes about avoiding rework down the road. Learning more about nesting and positioning now will allow you to plan your layouts better and will probably save you some rework later.
Should I start a new thread on it? If there are some definite benefits to nesting the forms, I should take care of it before I get too ahead of myself.
No, you don't have to start a new thread. The properties apply to this thread.
Here's a place to start.
Reading through this will familiarize you with some terms and concepts and hopefully raise some questions. Don't expect to absorb it all in one swoop. I suggest focusing on relative and absolute positioning for now, and read the rest of the sections anyway.
Don't know about you, but I learn best when I have an opportunity to apply new knowledge rather than simply reading for fun. We can use your current web page as a proving ground to explore a couple or three relevent positioning techniques and I think you'll be satisfied with your accomplishment.
I have given it all a good read. I learned more about absolute and relative positioning. Absolute positioning I already had a working understanding, but I picked some things up on relative positioning.
Now, on to the proving ground...I have 2 questions that build on each other.
Since the submission form needs to be nested elsewhere in the document flow, should it be placed up a line so that it is inside of #lpfoot, the footer content div? If not, where should this be re-placed?
Why does it need to be there?
I should be able to tackle it myself as long as I know where the submission form needs to be moved to.
I can't give you a straight answer to either question without discussing relationships and positioning... but here's a bouncy try.
Since #submissionform is already {position:absolute}, you will need to set new positioning properties (top|bottom|left|right) so it is again positioned where you want it.
The advantage of doing this will be apparent at narrow viewport widths when the
 box and #emailbox stack, because the #submissionform will remain predictably positioned above them, even though the height of #lpfoot changes.
The same idea would probably apply to #successfulsubmit as it does to #submissionform. Right now, the vertical position of #successfulsubmit is relative to the bottom of the page. Doesn't change.
BTW - are #submissionform and #successfulsubmit visible at the same time? or are they visible at different times? If they are subjectively related, they could be positioned directly over one another to keep them in the same viewing area.
It's also worth considering redesigning #submissionform. That staggered layout is more than a little hard to follow right now, in my opinion.
One other thought... instead of putting these submission boxes inside #lpfoot, they could be put into a separate container, #lpforms or some such name, which would be set to {position:relative} and would be placed just before #lpfoot in the HTML. Therefore, you would not have to add any clutter into #lpfoot, and everything in #lpforms would be in a predictable location in the document flow. I've never tried that, but it should work and would be a "clean" way to position those boxes. Seems worth a try, to me.
How does all of this sound to you?
PS: Have you updated your test page yet? It behaves out of date to me.
I just tried Plan B, "One other thought", and it works quite well. Avoids cluttering up #lpfoot.
I updated the files, just in case you're not seeing the most recent changes. I have been making some other alterations that you haven't seen yet. I will post to our "resizing images" thread what I elected to do there, and I'm quite satisfied with the image behavior now.
Yes, I understand now that in putting #submissionform and #successfulsubmit inside of #lpfoot would require that #lpfoot be assigned to relative positioning. This is specifically from reading the reference and learning that #lpfoot is the parent container and absolutely positioned elements need to relate to its container... er, something like that. I don't know if that really explains the theory properly, but I definitely know what I'm doing with these properties now.
As far as when each form and div appears, here is what happens.
user interacts with #emailbox----a. If the e-mail submitted is invalid, PHP catches this and, subsequently, JavaScript animates #invalidemail to convey to the user that the e-mail is invalid.----b. If it is a valid e-mail submission, #submissionform is then displayed for the user to fill out. See step 2.
user interacts with #submissionform----a. if the form submission is invalid, my PHP script catches the reason it's invalid and has JavaScript post the error content reason to the
 element inside of #errormessage, which is a div located within #submissionform----b. if the form submission is valid, see step 3.
#successfulsubmit is triggered by JavaScript to display:block; and #submissionform to display:none;----a. the div is shown and faded out to display:none; all through J/S with a message of "Submission Successful - Thanks for joining the mailing list, (submitted name), under the e-mail address, (submitted e-mail).... You get it. :rolleyes:
You should be able to see this on the test page, but I haven't tested it out in a while. I'm sure it still works, but the point is that those two different elements display at different times.
If you are still thinking to put these two elements (#submissionform and #successfulsubmit) in their own stand-alone container without cluttering #lpfoot, then let me know. I'll more than gladly assign that new container to relative positioning and model my bottom and left positioning values after what you did in a previous post. I should be able to find the right values myself.
EDIT: I think it would be nice for the forms to scroll with the page as some of these landing pages may have a bit of content, and the user might be annoyed if they accidentally scroll up the page. Then, they will have to scroll back down to see the forms. I don't know if this is easily achieved without fixed positioning or J/S.
Two things:
(1) If I understand correctly, you are saying that you think it would be nice if the forms did NOT scroll with the page. Sounds like you would prefer that they remain fixed relative to the viewport. That simply requires assigning (position:fixed} to the element and positioning it. The following example will center an element/container on the screen. (The container must have a known width.)
.container {
margin-top:-nnnpx; /* nnn = 1/2 the height of the container */
margin-left:-nnnpx; /* nnn = 1/2 the width of the container */
{position:fixed} would be especially useful, if not completely expected, if the #blackoverlay were behind the element. The user could scroll all they wish and the element would remain dead center on the screen. (Don't know why they might scroll, but the element would not budge if they did.)
(2) Having said that, I realize that much of my "brainstorming" earlier may have been misguided/useless because I had forgotten about that #blackoverlay.
Little or nothing would be gained by putting the submission elements in a separate div if they are to be {position:fixed} on the screen. I was thinking that the boxes should be near the links that call them so the user does not have to search for them, but if the link triggers the overlay and centers the box in the viewport, my thinking was off target.
The consolation prize is that you are much more familiar with techniques for positioning elements now and that's a good plus.
Don't know if this will interest you or not. I made a slightly taller version of your submission box image that allows the submission form to be laid out in a more conventional pattern.
I don't believe you wasted too much effort, though it does appear like I would prefer fixed positioning so the forms do scroll with the page. At least you made me read something so I won't have repetitive questions in the future. I should be able to take a lot of this new knowledge and apply it to designing a responsive home page with little to no assistance.
HOWEVER,I am struggling to get #successfulsubmit to stay in the middle of the page, just like #submissionform does properly with fixed positioning (in relation to the window). #submissionform sits nicely in the middle always, and #successfulsubmit does not- it changes with browser viewport changes. In this case, the container for these form blocks is #lpcontent. I tried adding a new container for these elements and gave it an i.d. of formcontainer (and gave it relative positioning), but it did not change the behavior of #submissionform and #successfulsubmit.
background:url("lpsubmission.gif") no-repeat scroll 50% 0 transparent;
padding:60px 10px 0 26px;
margin:0 auto;
margin:0 auto;
/*margin:0 0 0 -225px;*/
test page
As for the .gif file you attached, I am open to the idea, but I'll have to play around with the styles for the inputs, labels, etc. to see if I can get it to look just like the layout I have for the form now.
Point of terminology: If an object is {position:fixed}, it does not scroll with the page. Its position is fixed relative to the window.
Change the css for #successfulsubmit to the following and it will be horizontally centered in the window and vertically positioned above the midline of the window:
lp.css (line 311)
/* display:none; /* */
margin:0 0 0 -225px;
{position:fixed; left:0; right:0; margin:0 auto;}
{position:fixed; left:50%; margin-left:-225px;}
Hope this helps.
At the risk of dwelling on a tangent of the positioning topic...
The reason I sent you the screenshot and new submitform background image is because the current form looks a bit strange on my PC... more like an IQ test. I am attaching that screenshot so you will understand my concern. It's possible that you do not see what I see. Different browsers, different default font settings, etc.
After sending the slightly taller image yesterday, I realized that it could only offer a moderate improvement in the submitform. What is really needed is an image that will auto-extend vertically to adapt to different font sizes. So, today I put one together. The 2 right images depict its behavior.
FYI: The lone image on the left is what I see when I view your test page.The next image should be very similar to the screen shot that I sent yesterday.The right image shows what happens when the user zooms the text size just 1 click larger. Imagine how this would look if the background image were a fixed size. Just zoom text-only in your browser and you can see for yourself.
Ay carumba! :eek::blush::confused::rolleyes::nono::mad::(
I cannot afford to let #submissionform look like that!
In fact, your corrected version is not even as tall as it needs to be. I need to make one even taller than that... but mainly, just wider! There needs to be more room for #errormessage to display an error code, and I'd like to get the submit buttons up in the graphic as well.
What styles are causing it to look like that? I used only pixel units when styling the form elements inside there... I see what I want to see over here. Desktop resolution: 1366 px by 768 px
How would I create an image that auto-extends vertically? Does that mean I need 3 divs and 3 separate graphics to adapt to larger fonts?
I'll post the code later. I need to clean it up a bit. It requires two images for the graphics.
It would be helpful if you could post some screenshots of how the error message and possibly the other pop-ups should look.
The width of the current image seems about right. Are you sure that you want to make it wider? If so, how wide should it be?
I actually thought the submit buttons stood out quite conspicuously over the blackoverlay below the submissionform. Not a problem to put them inside, though.

The snap count of a quarterback, the grunts of colliding linemen and the smack of a spiraling football hitting a receiver's hands all would make a Detroit Lions practice recognizable to even blindfolded fans.
There is also another, less common, sound that can often be heard by those attending a practice session; the sound of defensive line coach Kris Kocurek yelling, "Go Willie, go Willie, go Willie."
During team scrimmages, Kocurek is routinely heard pushing developing pass rusher Willie Young, encouraging him to reach the quarterback.
"It's motivation and Kris is the kind of coach that, even if you're doing good, he's going to continue to push you," said Young. "Even on a good day or a bad day, it doesn't matter. You're going to know he's behind you 100 percent and you're going to know he's there. I don't have the issue of finishing but just to hear that, it just enforces it even more."
Young has enjoyed the benefit of an increased workload during this year's training camp, partnering with Lawrence Jackson to supplement the snaps of starter Cliff Avril, who ended his brief holdout on Sunday.
Watching Young participate in his third training camp is a testament to his growth. The Lions selected Young with the 213th pick in the 2010 NFL draft and – despite his 6-foot-5 frame – he was not noticeable on the field as a rookie.
Young entered the NFL at the mature age of 24 but clearly wasn't ready for the pros.
He had minimal game-day contributions, appearing in only two games and the same coaching staff that drafted him has since admitted he wasn't yet ready to play in the NFL as a rookie.
"He still hadn't really become a pro yet," said head coach Jim Schwartz. "There's a lot of transition that goes on. Some guys take to it a little bit quicker. He had some maturing to do. Physically he did, but also emotionally, mentally or whatever, but he did. He made a big jump last year and looks and appears as though he's made another similar jump."
The athletic defensive end has had no issues making "jumps" during his third training camp.
During 11-on-11 drills in Monday's practice, Young lined up with the first team defense at left defensive end.
Simultaneous to the snap of the ball Young exploded past Gosder Cherilus. As the chant of "go Willie" echoed in the background, Young was steaming towards a dropping Matthew Stafford. Noticing the pressure, Stafford attempted to lob a safe pass over Young to a check down option; instead Young leaped in the air, snagged the pass and brought it to the end zone.
Only a few plays later, Young missed a second ball by inches.
"That's just my specialty, that's what I do," said Young. "I put the work in to be able to make those kind of plays and having the inside guys, the way they play, getting movement, it forces the whole offensive line to do stuff they don't want to. It forces them out of their technique, which allows me, off the edge, to be productive. I take advantage of that every time I can."
After discussing the play with Young, I told him he looks like he's going to be dangerous this season.
"Look like I'm going to be dangerous?," he asked in return. "I'm about to be an assault rifle out there." Young looks poised to have a breakout 2012, perhaps prompting fans to do their best coach Kocurek impression on Sundays: Go Willie, Go Willie, Go Willie!

Rock Hill, S.C. - The no. 6 seed Brevard College men's tennis team advanced to Friday's semifinal round of the 2010 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Women's Tennis Tournament by defeating no. 3 seed Tusculum College, 5-1, in Thursday's opening round play at the Rock Hill Tennis Center in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
Brevard held the 3-0 advantage after doubles play. Jonathan Kuhn and Andrew Thompson opened play with an 8-3 victory over Tusculum's Drew Kiser and Gui Carvalho on court No. 3. Cole Altizer and Jarred Fisher gave the Tornados their second point with the 8-3 win on court No. 2 over Steven Lin and Oliver Smith. Dorian Feron and Scott McCormick completed the doubles sweep for Brevard, with a 8-5 win over Henrique Rodrigues and Luis Zamora.
Altizer put the Tornados up 4-0 with a victory on singles court No. 2, defeating Zamora in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3. Lin countered for Tusculum, earning the Pioneers first point of the afternoon on court No. 3 with his straight set win over Thompson, 6-4, 7-5. Feron clinched the match for the Tornados on court No. 5, winning over Kiser by a score of 6-2, 6-2.
Brevard advances to the tournament semifinals for the first time since joining the South Atlantic Conference and will take on #2 Wingate at the Rock Hill Tennis Center tomorrow afternoon at 1 p.m.
Brevard Head Coach Paul Thomson had the following to say about his team's performance, "It was a great win for our guys, as we always play Tusculum close. Today shows what happens when all of our guys show up on the same day and play like they can. Looking forward to facing another tough opponent tomorrow."
Tusculum ends the year with a 14-5 overall record and most likely will not qualify for the NCAA regional tournament.
Tusculum Head Coach Tommy Arnett was quoted after the match, saying, "Brevard was the better team today. They jumped on us in doubles and we simply were never able to recover from being down 3-0." He added, "I wish Brevard the best."

Here's a little bit about the process: both templates were just cardboard shapes scabbed together from other boards:

This post has been a long time coming. While we have enjoyed contributing to this community of like-minds for almost five years and will always appreciate all of your support, the time has come to turn the page and begin a new chapter.
On March 27, 2008 we published our very first blog post after spending a total of $25 to get our site up and running. As two sisters with a mutual love of all things natural we decided to create a space to easily share our favorite products with our friends and family. We had no idea if anyone would ever read our posts other than us. It began as just a fun hobby for two sisters who lived on opposite sides of the country. We were thrilled when our readership grew from 5 to 500 to 5000 and on and on. We are still amazed at what it became.
This year has been full of changes, difficulties, breakthroughs, challenges and triumphs. We will be forever grateful to the blogosphere for the freedom to write what we wanted and to all of you for continuing to read whatever was on our mind. We are flattered that many of you considered us experts but you should know that we are just two women who happen to like the more natural things in life who crave information and honesty and who wanted to create something that didn't exist. We always aimed to keep it real and hope you found that here.
An important lesson we have learned over the years in building an online community is that it is especially important to be conscious of being present. In other words, be where you are. It's very easy to escape into an online world. Don't miss the opportunity to live in the here and now. Don't forget what truly matters. For us, this proved to be difficult while spending so many hours online as it can be for many others. This year has been full of lessons and one that rang loud and clear is that it is essential to disconnect from devices and re-connect with people and nature in an analog way.
We wish to extend a very warm thank you to all the companies who sent us products to put to the test, to the retailers who sponsored us and/or sought our opinion on what they should carry in their stores and to our readers who continue to return here and value our perspective.
Erin remains very busy raising three adorable littles while starting her own, all-natural (obviously) candle company. You can keep up with her on Instagram @poppyjanecandleco and at her website www.poppyjanecandleco.com.
Stancie is taking on the challenging task of renovating a 1930s house into the home of her dreams. You can keep tabs on her favorite products, home ideas, healthy recipes, wellness tips and more over on Pinterest.
As we begin a new year we look forward to fresh starts, new adventures, renewed perspectives and wish you the same. Have a wonderful and meaningful 2013!

The Ethics/Religion and Society Lecture Series kicks off the year with Shawn Copeland on Oct. 9
The first lecture is about theological anthropology and race and gender in the Catholic Church | September 26, 2012
Xavier's Ethics/Religion and Society Lecture Series, following its theme of "Justice, Tolerance and Diversity," presents Shawn Copeland on Oct. 9 speaking about theological anthropology and race and gender in the Catholic Church. Copeland speaks at 7:00 p.m. in the Duff Banquet Center at the Cintas Center.
Each year, the series brings in speakers to deliver lectures on a particular theme. The current three-year theme examines the meanings of justice, tolerance and diversity as well as their interrelationships, and upcoming lectures focus on different aspects of the theme such as race and gender, human dignity and Judaism. The Ethics/Religion and Society series welcomes the public to its free lectures series all year. Learn more about the series at the ERS website.
The first presenter this year, Shawn Copeland, is a professor of theology at Boston College, one of 28 sister Jesuit universities in the country. She has been president of the Catholic Theological Society of America and holds honorary degrees from the Catholic Theological Union and the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley. She has received the Distinguished Scholar Award from the Black Religious Scholars Group. Among her publications are: Enfleshing Freedom: Body, Race, and Being (Fortress Press, 2010); Uncommon Faithfulness: The Black Catholic Experience (Orbis Books, 2009); The Subversive Power of Love: The Vision of Henriette Delille (Paulist Press, 2009).
The second lecture this fall takes place on Nov. 15 when David Solomon speaks on the relation between justice and diversity from the perspective of the contemporary ethical debate over human dignity. Solomon is the founder and director of the Center for Ethics and Culture at the University of Notre Dame, where he also teaches. He has been a National Endowment of Humanities Research Fellow at Oxford University, a Milbank Research Fellow at Boston University and a University Research Fellow at Oxford University. He writes on ethics and is currently writing a monograph on the recent revival of virtue ethics and two volumes of collected materials from the annual Notre Dame Conference on Medical Ethics.
On Nov. 19, David Novak presents a lecture on the relationship between justice and diversity from a Jewish perspective. He is chair of Jewish Studies, a professor of religion and a professor of philosophy at the University of Toronto. He is a fellow of the American Academy for Jewish Research and the Academy for Jewish Philosophy, a member of the Board of Consulting Scholars of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University, and he's been a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C.
Novak delivered the Lancaster/Yarnton Lectures at Oxford University and was a Charles E. Test M.D. Distinguished Visiting Scholar at Princeton. He is the author of 14 books, including Covenantal Rights: A Study in Jewish Political Theory (Princeton University Press, 2000), which won the Best Book in Constructive Religious Thought Award from the American Academy of Religion in 2000. He has edited four books and is the author of more than 200 articles in scholarly and intellectual journals.

What can a Personal Trainer do for you?
Hiring a Personal Trainer can be a great way to make a real change in your life. A personal trainer can help you improve your confidence in physical activity and exercise participation by designing a fitness program unique to your needs and goals. They will hold you accountable for your activities and help motivate you to reach goals by continuously presenting fun but challenging workouts. You will learn to improve your body's functional movement through the use of safe and effective exercises that will keep you energized and take your life in a whole new direction.
What is a Personal Training session like?
Each session lasts about an hour. The first meeting is devoted to assessing fitness level, body measurements, exercise, and health history and goals. Be prepared to step on the scale, have your body fat tested, and answer specific questions about your goals. After that, you'll spend most of your time performing aerobic activity and strength training.
TWU Fitness and Recreation offers great opportunities for training, considering a wide variety of fitness levels and budgets. Options for training are listed below:
Personal Training Rates
TWU Faculty/Staff/Alumni
TWU Student
1 session
3 sessions
6 sessions
9 sessions
12 sessions
Please note: After reviewing your lifestyle/medical history questionnaire, it may be determined that a medical release is required before the fitness assessment can proceed. This is to ensure your health and safety. The guidelines we use for medical clearance are based on the American College of Sports Medicine.
I want to start Personal Training. How do I get started?
Step 1: Pick one of our qualified trainers or we can pick one for you based on your goals and availability. You can find their Bios Here
Step 2: Fill out a Personal Training Registration Form at the Student Recreation Center front desk. Payment is not required until the first session with your personal trainer.
Step 3: A personal trainer will contact you within 5 working days to set up your first appointment.
Personal Training Policies & Procedures
For personal training to be effective, participants and trainers must know what the expectations are for both sides. Adhering to the following Policies and Procedures will ensure success!
*When purchasing personal training packages, the individualized fitness instruction will include:
- Fitness and goal assessment upon the initiation of the program. All information will be kept confidential.
- Continued education and instruction in the components of fitness: cardiovascular training, muscular conditioning training, flexibility and body composition. Often, a variety of fitness-related equipment will be used based on the client's goals and needs.
- One to three 1 hour sessions per week with the assistance of a qualified personal trainer or fitness specialist scheduled to accommodate both the participant and the trainer.
*It is also important to note what the individualized fitness instruction will NOT include:
- Diagnosis, treatment, and/or rehabilitation of any health conditions and/or illnesses. Trainers may refer clients to appropriate health professionals based on the identification of potential risk factors. Personal trainers may also receive exercise, health or nutrition guidelines from appropriate health care providers in order to best meet the fitness needs of the client.
- Nutrition or supplement education beyond the USDA Food Guidance System.
- Counseling clients in areas of life beyond physical fitness.
*Scheduling Sessions: Trainers and clients schedule their own appointments, independent of TWU Fitness and Recreation front desk or management staff.
*Expiration Date of Training Sessions: Personal training sessions will expire 6 months from the date of purchase unless serious extenuating circumstances prevent the client from returning. Extending the expiration date is allowed upon agreement between the client, the personal trainer, and TWU Fitness and Recreation management.
*Late Policy: Clients must be dressed appropriately and ready to participate at the time of the scheduled session. The trainer is only required to wait for the client for 10 minutes. If a session begins late due to the client, the trainer has the right to deduct those minutes off of the session. The trainer is also responsible for arriving and being prepared to begin on time. Sessions will start and end on time.
*Cancellation Policy: If a client must miss a scheduled personal training appointment due to illness, emergency, travel or etc., he/she should notify TWU Fitness and Recreation and / or the personal trainer at the earliest possible date and make arrangements with the trainer to reschedule the appointment. If a client does not notify TWU Fitness and Recreation and/or the personal trainer within 24 hours, he/she will be charged for that session as if he/she had used it. The trainer is also responsible for giving a client 24 hours notice if he/she needs to cancel an appointment.
*First Session: The majority of a client's first session may be a consultation and/or fitness assessment with the trainer. This consultation is designed to set goals, learn more about the client and provide education.
*Medical Release: After reviewing a client's lifestyle questionnaire, medical history questionnaire and/or the fitness assessment results, it may be determined that a medical release is required before personal training can continue. These guidelines for medical clearance are based on the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines.
*Current Membership to TWU Fitness and Recreation: Clients must be current TWU Students or current TWU Fitness and Recreation members in order to participate in the personal training program.
*Check In at the Front Desk: Clients are still required to check in at the fitness center front desk with the appropriate ID before working with the personal trainer.
*Outside Personal Trainers: No outside trainers or coaches are allowed to use the facilities without prior permission by TWU Fitness and Recreation management.
*Problems with Personal Training: Please inform Allison Meguro at email@example.com if you have any problems, questions or concerns that arise. We want this experience to be positive and successful!
*Evaluation: Once you have completed your sessions, you may be asked to complete a brief evaluation in order to determine quality of the services rendered by the personal trainer, quality of the program, and education received.
Thank you for considering TWU Fitness and Recreation Personal Training! We look forward to working with you!

Hope for Colorado Homeschool Families Harmed by Wildfires
Hundreds of homes in Colorado have been scorched by wildfires this week with still more in the path of these devastating flames. Already the Home School Foundation, HSLDA's charitable arm, has been notified of several homeschool families who have lost their home and school materials as a result of the fires.
