Christmas in November
With a heavy heart I trudged upstairs to Una's room where I could clear some things out uninterrupted. She had quite a few items I needed to part with without her there to protest their dismissal from the house. Chief among them were some broken preschool craft projects, torn books, and a puzzle with missing pieces (or more accurately contaminated pieces that were thrown out a few weeks ago due to this incident). I ended up working in there for over an hour (talk about exceeding my 10 minute de-cluttering goal) and came away discovering that:
1. The top of Una's dresser is a lovely shade of brown. It's amazing what projects, clothes, papers, kleenex, and post-it notes can hide.
2. We will not need to buy any Christmas presents for Una or Duet this year because like every good mammal, I have been squirrelling away goods over the last few months. All of those bargains that I just had to get have been sitting unused (and unseen by either child) on the top shelf of Una's closet waiting for the day when I would bestow them upon my girls. Of course since there's so much stuff in my house I'd completely forgotten what exactly was up there, but I uncovered some gems today and effectively did my Christmas shopping in the closet.
3. Una is in need of another dress and (now that the cold weather is upon us) some tights to go with that dress (this is truly a need. She only has two that fit her at the moment and one of those is a sleeveless summer dress). The good news is I spoke with my mom today and she's going to be sending money so that I can buy the girls some Christmas gifts from them (this is not laziness on her part. She has 21 grandchildren and 4--soon to be 5--great-grandchildren. She doesn't know what each child wants and so she lets the parents do the shopping for her. It's a system that works great for us). I've decided to use Una's money to get a Christmas dress and tights from her grandparents, Cougar and Bear (yes, that's what she calls them. It was her idea, I can assure you, not my parents'. Although they're totally into it. Especially my dad, Cougar). Una loves to wear dresses so she will be thrilled with this gift. And I am thrilled to be using the money for something she needs (as well as likes) instead of something that will just add to the clutter in my home. Win-win. Or, if you're a fan of The Office, I think you'll agree when I say that this is one of those rare scenarios that can be called "win-win-win."
This exercise today has left me wondering what other treasures I will unearth as I devote my 10 minutes per day to de-cluttering my home.

Loving your blog, Mary. Keep writing. You inspire me to dream that my blog could be more than a scrapbook and a dumpy ground for unedited uninspired writing.

I've been meaning to tell you that I went through our house VERY thoroughly before we moved and got rid of a lot of stuff. When we moved in to our new place, I was so pleased to find extra room in most of our closets. I don't have any boxes of "wonder what's been in there for 5 years." And I'm being uber-careful about what I buy for the new house. Each new decoration, frame, etc., is carefully thought out. Do we need this? Do we have a place for it? Will I like it for years and years to come? Things look kind of sparse, but taking it slowly is saving me a lot of money, and saving me from having a lot of things I don't really need! It feels great! I hope you keep up the good work. I've been employing the 10-minute decluttering session idea for some time. I'm a huge fan.

We need to get together and hang out more often. east of Eden is MY favorite book. I read it the first time in high school, and I think twice since then. Each time I find new treasures in it. I too enjoy when the grandparents send $$ for presents. This year we combined the kids birthday money and got our new compact double stroller. The kids still got a little thing so they didn't feel like "gee thanks a stroller." Last year I got 72 hour stuff for Christmas, some may say what a bore, but I loved it. It was a need and a want all in one!

Dear Mary...No, I think MaryDear is better. Anyway, to add to AmyDear's comments, I think it should be a law that one must move every 5 years just to keep the clutter problem in check. After having lived in a small apartment [about 900 square feet]in Europe for the last three years, we have discovered that we could actually live with a lot fewer 'things'. So, I too, am in the de-cluttering mode. I've found that FLYLady.net is a fabulous website for getting organized. Several family members have used her ideas. Oh, by the way, I voted for your blog!!

kenna--another excellent suggestion.
baba/ann--loved the comment. thanks for the tips/suggestions and for voting!

As recently as two hundred years ago, physics as we know it today did not exist. Born in the early nineteenth century during the second scientific revolution, physics struggled at first to achieve legitimacy in the scientific community and culture at large. In fact, the term "physicist" did not appear in English until the 1830s."When Physics Became King" traces the emergence of this revolutionary science, demonstrating how a discipline that barely existed in 1800 came to be regarded a century later as the ultimate key to unlocking nature's secrets. A cultural history designed to provide a big-picture view, the book ably ties advances in the field to the efforts of physicists who worked to win social acceptance for their research.Beginning his tale with the rise of physics from natural philosophy, Iwan Morus chronicles the emergence of mathematical physics in France and its later export to England and Germany. He then elucidates the links between physics and industrialism, the technology of statistical mechanics, and the establishment of astronomical laboratories and precision measurement tools. His tale ends on the eve of the First World War, when physics had firmly established itself in both science and society.Scholars of both history and physics will enjoy this fascinating and studied look at the emergence of a major scientific discipline.

This is important, and I want you to understand the difference. ST means spontaneously/timed, so it cycles from EPAP to IPAP spontaneously (when you breathe), and on a timed basis when you don't. It has a fixed pressure support, so if you need 10 cm to make you breath with centrals, you get 10 cm all the time. It is mostly for people with restrictive lung disease and hypoventilation. The ST uses a fixed pressure support and fixed EPAP. You set a EPAP and Pressure Support, and a breaths per minute.
The ASV has a variable pressure support and EPAP. With the Resmed Aircurve 10 ASV you set a minimum EPAP, maximum EPAP, Maximum IPAP and a minimum and maximum PS. So you could have an auto adjusting EPAP starting at 4 and increasing automatically to resolve obstructive apnea. When you spontaneously breathe, the machine only provides the minimum PS, or will increase PS if you have a lower volume like hypopnea or flow limitation. If you have a central apnea, the machine will use up to the maximum PS to cause you to breath, before returning to EPAP. It uses the last half-hour of your breathing to determine the pace and volume of your breathing, and maintains that.
In other words, the ASV is for complex apnea and will feel natural and comfortable as it treats both obstructive and central apnea and hypopnea. The ST will feel like a robot imposing pressure whether you need it or not. If you had emphysema this would be the right solution...you don't.

Reading articles about the proposed Duke Energy power plant is a bit like reading a science-fiction story about the destruction of the world. How can any elected or appointed person charged with the well-being of the people of this county even consider such a project?
With everything that our school system is going through, it should be very evident that the actions, or nonactions, of those running things can have long-term and devastating results.

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), also known as winter depression or winter blues, is a mood disorder in which people who have normal mental health throughout most (most being the operative word here ;) of the year experience depressive symptoms in the winter.
Sound familiar?
I can't really complain, it was 75 a few weeks ago and I'm from OMAHA, which is bitter cold and dark all of the dang time but the OKC just got a pretty good ice storm and we were told not to leave the house, so the boys and I hunkered down and did a whole lot of nothing. School was canceled, my car was iced over.... it was dark and dreary. Coincidentally, during the enclosure a moderate flu bug was also being freely distributed. So just when you thought you'd enjoy a nice glass of wine by the fire, you were interrupted by a not so pleasant stomach bug, prohibiting any fun. WINTER. WE WILL PREVAIL, YES WE CAN....
I'm always grateful for the clients that book shoots in January and February, i mean, c'mon, the ground is brown, my skin is seriously translucent and one may lose a finger or two from frost bites on some days, but hey, no better time for a session ;) Here are a few of the brave ones...And really, being inside in a nicely heated space makes for easy sessions! And photoshop will take care of the tan..
As for these guys, SIX kids, can you imagine? MAYBE in the summer... And as if it's not amazing enough that these kids were so amazingly behaved, mom home-schools them. I'll have what she's having!

Chris Harrison has developed a tiny projector that senses your every move called the OmniTouch. It is a wearable multitouch interactive for everywhere. You can read or write an email on the wall, table, your palm, or your pants let. Students would be actively engaged without being at or on a computer. Teachers would be more mobile and be able to grade/access information without being tied to a specific location. However, the biggest positive would hopefully be the reduction of cost for computer equipment. With increasing budget cuts each year, schools need a means to bring technology into the classrooms with minimum costs.

Calling all yoga rebels!!! Who says you have to jump, grunt, strain, and punish your body to get amazing results from your workout? Although we LOVE to push ourselves in that way, PiYo takes another approach; no weights, just your own body doing all the work. PiYo combines the muscle-sculpting, core-firming benefits of Pilates with the strength and flexibility advantages of yoga. Crank up the speed and add in some dynamic movements to deliver a true fat-burning, low-impact workout that leaves your body looking long, lean, and incredibly defined.
PiYo isn't like standard Pilates and yoga classes that make you hold long, intense poses, or lead you through dozens of repetitive, microscopic core movements. PiYo speeds everything up—including your results—by introducing you to dynamic, flowing sequences that can burn serious calories at the same time as they lengthen and tone your muscles and increase your flexibility.
With every action-packed PiYo session, you can burn excess fat and sculpt and define your whole body, as you minimize the aches and pains that can come along with high-impact workouts. No matter your age, no matter your body type, PiYo will help give you dramatically visible, incredibly beautiful results.
Schedule a PiYo class today right here in Las Cruces, NM, or check out the other amazing classes we offer at Total Body Bar.

MONTVERDE -- The "Old Fogies" here have clout, but what they really need is access.
Their club meets at the town's community center, but the building is not accessible to people with disabilities.
That's about to change.

Condition: Standard
All Product Details
The editors thoroughly reviewed the book for this new edition, selecting eight new essays that address topics such as rape as war crime, sports and sexual violence, sexual abuse among the clergy, conflict between traditional mores and women's rights in the Asian American and Latin American communities, as well insightful analyses of cyberporn.
The diverse contributors are activists, opinion leaders, theologians, policymakers, educators, and authors of both genders. An excellent text for undergraduate classes in Women's Studies, Family Sociology or Criminal Justice, the book is being reissued on the 10th anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act.
The book's statistics have been thoroughly updated, as have essays about sexual violence in K-12 schools and in the church. New pieces from within America's immigrant communities depict struggles with domestic violence, sexual harassment, and community stigmas against reporting rape. This violence, not limited to one race, creed, or nationality, has its roots in cultural biases that are still much in need of change.

Escort Ireland - Escort Reviews - Review 006284 - Irish Independent Escorts, Irish Touring Escorts, Irish Escort Agencies
Unfortunately in reply to DAVE`S review I have to agree with everything written.
But I have to also add as well as the landlord picking up my rent with only 1hrs notice I had also developed a major leak in the bathroom, that any of the clients I saw on Thursday will confirm the extent of the flooding in the hallway (very nearly developing webbed feet on the way in lol)
Can I also add that I did offer a discount if he rebooked to make up for his wasted journey.

The new initiative store will open tomorrow showcasing the latest innovative products and services from both companies and preview future Comcast technology, products and services.
Sony Style Comcast Labs feature the best of Sony's electronics and the most innovative service offerings from Comcast such as high definition LCD televisions, VAIO Electronics, camcorders, PSP, cameras and so on while Comcast will showcase all of its products and services from voice to video and Internet.

Tower fans are a great way of keeping a room cool during the hottest months of the year and there are many different brands and models to choose from. This top 10 list of Amazon's best-selling models highlights attractive, convenient models with great power, oscillation, and other helpful features.
- 10. Bionaire Ultra Slim BT150R Tower Fan
- 9. Honeywell Ho-1100RE Tower Fan-Top 10 Best Tower Fans In 2017 Reviews
- 8. Andrew James Oscillating Tower Fan
- 7. Q-Connect 30" Tower Fan
- 6. Connect-it Mini Tower Fan
- 5. Bionare BMT014D Mini Desk Tower Fan
- 4. Airo 29" Oscillating Tower Fan
- 3. Prem-I-Air 1800W Oscillating Tower Fan
- 2. Honeywell HO-5500RE Oscillating Tower Fan
- 1. Bionaire 2500 Digital Ceramic Tower Heater
10. Bionaire Ultra Slim BT150R Tower Fan
The first fan in this list is the first of three Bionaire models that will be featured. This model definitely lives up to its name with the super-skinny shape but this may limit its efficiency, especially compared to the other models. There are, however, three-speed settings, a LED display, an 8-hour timer and a remote control.
9. Honeywell Ho-1100RE Tower Fan-Top 10 Best Tower Fans In 2017 Reviews
This chrome oscillating tower fan is the first of two Honeywell models in this list of best selling fans. It shares so many key features with the other model that it is unclear why this one ranks so far behind. There are three speed settings to the oscillation and a timer – both of which can be set via a remote control – and the colour and shape are attractive.
8. Andrew James Oscillating Tower Fan
This Andrew James tower fan has a low rating for now, but the positive features and great design mean that it could climb the best sellers list with time. This black tower has an unusual shape with a clear display on the top, wide angle oscillation and a 2000w power setting to blast cool air across the room. Add to this the eco-friendly settings and remote and there is a lot of potentials.
7. Q-Connect 30" Tower Fan
There is a nice look to this tall, white tower fan, with its control panel on top and tapering sides, and the height should help to cool larger spaces. It does the basics well enough with its different speed settings and 180-degree oscillation. The low ranking on the list is most likely due to negative comments about its construction and noise levels.
6. Connect-it Mini Tower Fan
This tower fan has some clear pros and cons that keep it from the top half of this list. On the plus side, the small size, 3-speed settings and 90-degree oscillation make it convenient and useful in the office. The downside is that it only offers 40W of power and isn't very attractive
- Brand : Connect-It
- Item Weight : 1.7 Kg
- Product Dimensions : 40 x 17 x 16 cm
5. Bionare BMT014D Mini Desk Tower Fan
In the middle of the list is this Bionaire Tower fan that offers something a little different. The short, stocky shapes mean it won't suit most living rooms but it will fit on a desk to cool an office. Like other Bionaire models, this also has a convenient timer and digital display to control the different settings.
- Product Dimensions : 5.9 x 5.9 x 12.2 inches
- Item Weight : 3.3 pounds
- Manufacturer : Holmes Products
4. Airo 29" Oscillating Tower Fan
This tall Airo tower fan has a lot going for it in regard to its power and the options for cooling the home. The freestanding tower has an optional oscillating feature and 3-speed settings for greater control and the simplicity of the design makes it easy to use. The reason for its lower ranking in the list is likely due to its boring white design.
- Product Dimensions : 5.2 x 6.5 x 29.2 inches
- Item Weight : 7.5 pounds
- Manufacturer : CAMAIR, LLC
3. Prem-I-Air 1800W Oscillating Tower Fan
This oddly-shaped tower fan may not have the power of some of the other models that are available but it makes up for this shortfall with some great features. This is one of those versatile models that can also be used as a heater and it has a timer and adjustable thermostat to give users greater control. In addition to this, this black and white tower also has a remote control.
2. Honeywell HO-5500RE Oscillating Tower Fan
The higher up the list we go, the more attractive and convenient these tower fans become. This Honeywell model has a space-saving design that is tall and slim and this means that it will look great in most apartments. The oscillating fan has three-speed settings and can be easily controlled via the remote control.
- Product Dimensions : 12 x 12 x 40.8 inches
- Item Weight : 9.9 pounds
- Manufacturer : Honeywell
1. Bionaire 2500 Digital Ceramic Tower Heater
The top spot in this list of the best tower fans for 2017 is another Bionaire model. Although it calls itself a tower heater, this Bionaire system can actually be used as both a heater and a fan thanks to variable heat setting and "cool blow" mode. This fan is desirable because it is an attractive, modern device, with its sleek shape, helpful LCD digital display and carry handle, and it promises a great performance.

God's Grace
The past few days our Arise Africa team has been nervously praying for God to help us find two brothers who are in our child sponsorship program. Brian (11) and Armond (7) live alone in a child headed household, that Brian is the oldest in. Basically they have no parents after watching their father stab their mother and then be taken to jail where he died months later.
When we started the child sponsorship program the headmasters at the school chose the kids who were most in need of help. And they were at the top of the list. The past month through our donors we have been able to pay for their school fees, start feeding them and tried to keep an eye on them. But they have nobody else at all watching after them.
The boys had not been at school the past few days and our Arise Africa team members and teachers from the school had started looking for them at their house and in the community. They had disappeared and were nowhere to be found.
We just got word from Zambia that they were found, in a market picking food from a dump. We are so grateful to know they are safe and sound. But yet just as our Zambians said, "the situation needs an alternative solution."
Please be praying for all of our team and most importantly Brian and Armond. As we navigate through these tough situations and try to do what is best we ask you to pray with us for solutions and stability for our kiddos.
It is easy to feel overwhelmed at times, but then I remember that I am blessed to work with some of the most driven and compassionate people on earth both in the USA and Zambia.

Students should remember that the largest user of energy per person was somewhat surprising Qatar. (For those who don't know Qatar is in the Middle East).
With this in mine it is interesting to read the article Rapid Rise Middle East Energy Presents New Concerns.
This is indeed a worrisome trend. Even though the article mentions renewable energy, that is not the issue here. Demand needs to be reduced to make any progress on energy.

Patient: I am wondering if you can held me. I am a healthy 23 year old woman and I have been with my Partner now for 6 years. We used to have a healthy sex life but the last few months it has become virtually non-existent. It is getting to a stage where it is starting to cause issues between my partner and me. We seem to live on different time scales as I work nights most days and he is the one who is up to take our 5 year old son to school. We are only having sex once every 4-6 weeks and it is starting to really get me down as, the other areas of out relationship are thriving. I was wondering if there were any under laying medical issues that could cause this but, if not, is there anything I could do to increase my libido? Thanks
Doctor: A persistent lack of sexual desire may indicate a stress in the relationship, fatigue, pregnancy or an underlying illnes s. I would advise lifestyle changes, counselling and using various sex techniques at first to see if this changes your symptoms. If you still experience a lack of sexual interest certain medicines and investigation into the underlying cause may be helpful. I would suggest that you seek the help of your doctor in case your symptoms persists. Your doctor may perform a pelvic examination and thyroid studies to help determine the cause.

Considering A Business Accelerator?
It is no secret that new businesses have many obstacles to overcome to be successful in an increasingly competitive landscape. Most businesses do not even turn a profit until they have put in years of hard work and long hours. The wait can be disheartening, and many do not make it. Others look for ways to hasten the process.
In recent years, business accelerators (also referred to as seed accelerators or startup accelerators), have emerged as a means to speed new businesses forward on the road to success. A recent article at Business News Daily examines this option.
What An Accelerator Program Can Do
The article points out the three greatest benefits of an accelerator program: speed of growth, access to resources and credibility.
These programs are designed to grow businesses fast. One of the biggest challenges for new businesses is getting access to things like funding and technology. These programs help businesses get access to these resources and more. Furthermore, because these programs are selective, participation in one comes with a level of credibility that can benefit a new business substantially.
While there are many different accelerators and each functions in its own unique way, these programs typically involve intensive mentorship and training, not just for the founder of the business, but for a small leadership team that is chosen to represent the business. There is also an investment component. The accelerator will typically invest a substantial amount of money in the business in exchange for equity.
Qualifying For An Accelerator Program
Accelerators do not make sense for every business. While tech companies may benefit from the reach and resources they can get from these programs, local restaurants and boutique businesses might not need them. Furthermore, if a business is already well along on the road to success, taking three or four months off to participate in an accelerator may do more harm than it is worth.
If an accelerator does make sense for your business, it is important to recognize that these programs are very selective. It is worthwhile to put in work before applying to ensure that the foundation of your business is solid and to make certain you have done everything you can at this stage to lay the groundwork for success. This can mean reviewing your business plan, double-checking business policies and handbooks, and more. Not only might this upfront work make your business a more likely candidate for an accelerator, it can help you make the most of the time investment that you will be making in the program.
At Heekin, Malin & Wenzel, our attorneys can help you do everything possible to lay the groundwork for a successful business. We provide a full range of business law services to startups. We can answer questions about accelerator options and help you ensure that nothing has been overlooked in the startup process.

This National Olympic Committee Directory was originally created in 2005 by Harvey Abrams and hosted at Harveyabramsbooks.com as a public service. All the NOC pages are being permanently relocated to the IISOH web sites (first to www.sportlibrary.org, then later to www.iisoh.org) in August, 2017.
The NOC Directory consists of four (4) pages of information about the Olympic Movement. The information changes often as new NOC's are created and some disappear. Every nation that participates in the Olympic Games is included in the Directory. The IISOH is not affiliated with any Olympic Committees nor with any sport organizations. The IISOH Library & Museum is an independent non-profit educational, literary and research corporation. The IISOH maintains this site as part of its mission to increase public awareness and appreciation in the arts and humanities as it relates to history of sport, physical education, recreation, dance, sport in art and the Olympic Games through a wide variety of educational programs and publications.
You will find on these pages much more than Olympic material, such as addresses and contacts. We include short sections on history, politics, economics, culture - all those forces that can have an effect upon people, sports and the Olympic Games. Forces can bring people together in sport - or keep them apart via boycotts and wars. The Olympic Games reflect what is happening in the world at that time.
These pages list all the National Olympic Committees (NOC's) that are recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as of November 2017. There are 206 NOC's in 2017. The number will periodically vary by one or two when a National Olympic Committee is suspended for some violation according to the controlling party - the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The IOC is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The Kuwait Olympic Committee has been suspended since October 27, 2015.
The Brazil Olympic Committee wa recently suspended on October 6, 2017.
Each of the four pages in this Directory offers a different way of studying the Olympic Movement as well as the history of sport in general.
PAGE 1 instructs you how to use this site.
PAGE 2 lists all the NOC's in alphabetical order in American English.
PAGE 3 lists the NOC's in five seperate lists according to the region of the world in which theyare located. This is useful when you are studying REGIONAL sport such as the PAN AMERICAN GAMES or the ASIAN GAMES.
PAGE 4 List all the NOC's with their contact information and more. It has an enormous amount of information that will be frequently updated. If your computer is slow then it may take awhile to load. Page 4 will never be completed - it will be revised continuously as each NOC makes changes, such as a change of address, telephone number or other data. Because Page 4 will be enormous it will eventually be sub-divided to be made more efficient for your use. Eventually each NOC will have its own page with links to that nation's entire sport structure. Therefore page 4 will eventually be the "portal" to over 200 more comprehensive pages.
Here is their list of 206 National Olympic Committees in two different formats.
I am an Olympic Games and Sport historian by training. My short biography can be read here. Briefly: I am a health and physical education teacher with a BS, MAT and Ph.D/abd. I have not completed my doctoral dissertation, so I am not "Doctor." The "abd" above stands for "all but dissertation." My background includes a wide variety of fields including art and architecture, history, photography, psychology, business, and others. I am a retired athlete (freestyle wrestling) and wrestled in college (Penn State) and tried out for four US Olympic Wrestling teams (1972-1984). I have also been a wrestling coach and referee. I originally hosted these pages on my book business web site as an educational service to the public. I am the founder of the IISOH and transferred these pages to the IISOH in January 2016 to be permanently part of the Institute's educational mission. In the near future the IISOH research staff will be responsible for the regular maintenance, revisions and corrections to these pages. They will be recognized and their names will be added as contributors.
It is important to me -- and to you -- that I (and all future researchers for the IISOH) remain neutral in preparing information for worldwide use. Many factors can cause a bias in the preparation of material. Knowing this can help you to be a better researcher. Knowing about the writer(s) can help you to understand, and hopefully avoid, any bias.
For example: if you read about the 1972 Munich Olympic Games from an American history book you will have a certain perspective or point of view. You may find a very different version of the same events if you read a German, French or Chinese book -- assuming that you can read those languages. The more controversial a subject becomes -- the more bias you will find in different sources of information. Each party that writes will have some type of bias - so you should always use multiple sources of information in order to determine accuracy and truth.
When studying the Olympic Games you will find that several major forces have influenced events. From the first Olympics in Athens in 1896 to the current selection of host cities -- the Olympic Games are influenced by politics, economics, history, culture, bias and prejudice. For example -- if you study the taking of athletes from Israel as hostages (and their eventual death) at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games -- you will find differing accounts of what happened and different perceptions on the after-effects. Should the Games have been cancelled? Should the Germans have had more sharpshooters at the airport? Did the Germans allow or prohibit Israeli agents from assisting? What was the reaction in the Muslim world? Should there be memorials or a "moment of silence" in memory of the dead athletes at every Olympic Games? After four decades these questions are still being asked and strong emotions are still expressed by different parties.
Keep in mind that I am American -- so I bring a certain bias from my own nationality. We Americans -- as a nation -- are less formal than many European and Asian cultures. We are perceived as "child-like" or "immature" by some observers. Americans tend to have a "silly smile" much of the time, and are usually very friendly, informal and outgoing. Compare this to the reserved British personality, the pursed Prussian (German) lip or the formality of Oriental society. Americans are aggressive -- they/we -- like to fight. The entire world watches -- and usually enjoys -- American television and film, much of which is action-oriented and violent. But Americans are generally conservative -- there are very few nude beaches like the ones on the French Riviera. In a nation of over 300 million people, there cannot be more than a dozen adults who have had the courage to talk to their children about sex. You will never find a naked lady on the cover of an American magazine, but if you shop in Germany or France there are dozens of naked images on popular magazines. Americans are a nation of spectators with a growing obesity problem. Our professional sports of baseball, football, basketball and hockey dominate the sports pages which are filled-in with college football, basketball and some local school news. But you will rarely read about soccer -- the most popular sport in the rest of the world.
And Americans are rich -- at least everyone thinks so. Americans are always trying to make more money. But there is a significant population that is poor with a huge middle class dividing the extremely wealthy from the extremely poor. Athletes make millions and sometimes tens of millions of dollars. The salaries of some athletes is staggering. We are a nation of incredible diversity that no-one on earth understands. As a teacher I have lived in Germany for five years and I found the perception of German 8th graders very enlightening. They widely believed that every American had a big house, 2 cars in the garage and a horse. This is news to almost all Americans - especially about the horse. In reality there are about nine million horses in the USA, with over 300 million people. Approximately three out of every one hundred Americans own a horse. In reality - most Americans have never even seen a real horse except on television like those German kids. Understand that "perception" can be different than "reality."
Be aware that I have allowed my sense of humor (that's humour for you British Commonwealth people) -- to creep into some of my comments -- usually about the English language. Also, we Americans can be self-deprecating - it is part of our sense of humor/humour. I have tried to keep my sentences simple so communication would be easy. Misunderstandings happen when communication fails. SO - you should learn to read and speak proper English the Philadelphia way - we "tawk right" and you "tawk funny."
Throughout my career I have been a physical education teacher, freestyle wrestler, coach, referee, graphic artist, photographer, researcher, writer, consultant, and publisher. I speak more than one language and have lived in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Florida and West Berlin, Germany. Since 2016 I am living in both the USA and central Europe, dividing my time between Vienna and Prague. In preparing these pages for your research use -- I have tried to be neutral (I call it being "more Swiss than the Swiss"). I gather information from the best possible sources to be used on these pages. Rarely will a personal web page make it here -- I prefer first hand sources such as Olympic committee, government, university and other scholarly sites. I examine all sources and links myself and only include those that I consider to be excellent. This is my opinion -- you might disagree. Permission to disagree with me is granted -- however there is a penalty! If you disagree with me then you will owe me a tin of chocolate cookies, delivered to me via the IISOH address. (There should be a "smiley" emoticon here).
If you wish to contact me or the staff at the IISOH -- please send an email to this address:
email: email@example.com
My advice -- Be very cautious when you surf the world wide web for your information and projects-- there is a lot of garbage out there!
NOC Directory - Page 2
NOC Directory - Page 3
NOC Directory - Page 4
then you should to "cite" the information as follows:
Last name, First Name. Title of page.
Date or latest update of page. Full URL address.
Date you viewed the page.
So, you should cite this page as follows:
IISOH Library & Museum. National Olympic Committee Directory, Page 1.
November 23, 2017.
The date that you viewed this page.
Web pages change frequently -- and sometimes they disappear.
I always put the original date that I created the page PLUS
the date of the most recent updates near the bottom of each page.
You cite this page (and all your sources) so a reader can return
in order to check the accuracy of your work.


text: If you look closely at the first two you should notice the four garden tractors are Oliver, White, Minneapolis-Moline, and Cockshutt. That is one RARE collection of garden tractors. The Oliver and Cockshutt are model 75s. While the other two are 107s. The kids sitting with the garden tractors told me all four are the same tractor. From the looks of it, I believe them.

I build this for a friend a couple of years ago. Just catching up on posting projects. I plan on building a couple more this winter and making video's of it.
Building the log base is most of the work. It all done with a small electric chainsaw.
All joints are lap & notch. I used polyurethane glue and screws, since the wood was green.

It started as a simple enough idea. I felt as though I was trying to re-invent the wheel in regards to the process of transferring to a four year university. I assumed that others likely felt the same way. I thought it might be a nice idea if someone tried to collect a bunch of data on the subject in one place and create a presentation that one might share with fellow students. An attempt to tap into the collective experience of our fellow students who have already successfully navigated the transfer process, help others avoid pitfalls, and find the most efficient method of handling the task.
I was recently reminded that there are those who are trying to transfer during different times of the year, who are struggling to make sure they have done all they can. It occurred to me that it might be worthwhile to simply dedicate a page to the project and ask that students share their transfer experience through the comments section for the benefit of others. Initially at least, this is that page. I am asking just that. Anyone who has braved the process of transferring, the more recent the better, please use the comment section to share that experience. There are many people who would greatly appreciate any tips, advice, and warnings that others might share.
If you have been through the process, you already know what is on the minds of students currently trying to figure it out for themselves. Concerns about paperwork, transferring credits, scholarships, financial aid, timing, and the list goes on. You can be sure that someone will appreciate any useful information you can provide, even if it only gives them the sense that they are already doing the right things. I will certainly appreciate your help and participation.
A quick note to all, perhaps it need not be said, but anything that ultimately appears here will be in the way of advice only. No one can guarantee that their experience will be applicable to yours. I will reserve the right to edit or alter posts. I may remove posts from the comment section to incorporate them into the page itself, for the sake of prominence perhaps. The comments are moderated, so if you do not wish to have your name out there for any reason, simply say so in your comment and I will post your contribution in an alternate fashion. I welcome suggestions on content, organization, or links to useful resources.
With that said, I thank you for your input in advance and wish you well on your own college journey!

Food and Wine: Making Choices with Ease
I'm not strict about whites with this and reds with that. It's more intuitive with me than scientific. I believe it all depends on the flavors of the food I'm preparing and my own personal preferences. So let me tell you how I go about it.
Grilled steak, I'd choose a merlot. I might mention at this point that I am not a big Cabernet Sauvignon fan—the so-called flavor bombs that are too high in alcohol for my taste and pretty much dominate any conversation.
If I'm cooking an Italian tomato sauce, even if it's vegetarian, I'd choose a Sangiovese, the Italian Chianti grape. My rule of thumb: Whatever grape is grown on the land where the food originates is probably going to work with the food.
If my beef short ribs are perfumed with cinnamon and orange, I would choose a red wine that has some of the same spiciness, like a zinfandel or a syrah. For those who can't drink red with this dish, an oaked chardonnay would work especially if it had some vanilla overtones.
If I'm cooking a spicy chicken curry or a bean thread noodles and pork with hot peppers, I might want to temper the heat with a nice riesling, the slight sweetness and the chill working well with the heat. A floral viognier is also lovely to balance heat.
Pork dishes can go either white or red or even pink depending on how it is prepared. Same with chicken. Tomatoes and mushrooms in the preparation almost always mean that a red might be drunk with the dish. I would choose a white if a cream sauce is involved.
Third, personal preference. I consistently love to drink a couple of different wines and will choose them again and again, whether or not they are in fashion or necessarily "go" with the food. Then pretty regularly I give myself a little tasting adventure and try something new and exotic, just for the fun of it. I try to avoid ruts.
Katherine and I drank and still love to drink oaky, creamy, bake-house-scented chardonnays. They are just so yummy, even though they have fallen from grace. I also love the unoaked crisp stainless steel chardonnays but the oaky ones are my wine version of "comfort food." A glass before dinner, catching up on each other's day, couldn't be better.
I love pinot noirs, not because of the movie Sideways, but because they are often such great food wines. I'm not talking about the wimpy pinots that can't stand up to anything, but the rich juicy kind that taste like plush velvet.
I stay away from anything called grassy, like some sauvignon blancs. And I don't go out of my way to drink whites described as flinty or high in minerals. I am occasionally rewarded by a wonderful wine that has been so described and hope this means my palate is expanding.
Fourth, I try to trust myself, my taste, judgment, and intuition. I like to have a good time making the choices. I will ask a wine person for suggestions but it's my money, my dinner, and my choice. The most expensive bottle isn't necessarily the best.
How do you make your decisions?

Love to hear your wonderful wine advice Katherine...I, too am a sucker for packaging and that includes wine! but I have a few rules that I live by since moving here: 1) there are NO good Pinot Noirs under $25! Don't even try 'em! 2) The pinker a rose is, the sweeter it will be and the less I'll like it! 3) Most anything from Anderson Valley is gonna be yummy!

Thanks for your intuitive and helpful wine advice. I agree with Kristin that I have not had any Pinot Noir under $25 that is good, But if anyone finds one, please pass that info on.
Anderson Valley wines are great.I used to have a place there. This is making me want to take a trip up there and to drive on my favorite road, Greenwood Ridge, out to the coast. Quick road trip some day? Its only a few hours from Sonoma.

Hello risotto lovers! Try this hassle free orzotto which has a similar texture to risotto. It cooks similarly to risotto, but takes less time. I found this recipe at a really awesome site called Purewow. I'm glad I did!
I've copied and pasted the recipe below directly from the site simply because I wouldn't change a darn thing! I thoroughly enjoyed it served with seasoned chicken though!
1 T olive oil
3 shallots, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1½ cups orzo
½ cup white wine
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
4 cups baby spinach
1 lemon, zested and juiced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until translucent and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.
2. Add the orzo and stir to combine with the shallots and garlic. Add the white wine and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the wine has been mostly absorbed into the pasta, 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Add the broth gradually, about 1 cup at a time. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until the orzo has absorbed the broth before stirring in the next cup. Continue until the orzo is completely tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
4. Stir in the spinach and let it wilt in the warm orzo. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, butter and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Note: To reheat leftovers, add a little broth or water and microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, pausing to stir once or twice.

4/18 Carmelo Anthony ft. Mobb Deep vs. D-Will's former team (Knicks at Nets) 7:30 PM Game Thread

"He played hard but didn't give 100% for every single game"
Does that line even make sense?
Would you say he's "giving a 100%" now? I would say so
And if so...isn't that a clear difference?
The FACT is he didn't play with heart and full effort. Now you're blaming that on D'Antoni? He's playing for millions for the Knicks...for his teammates...and the city's fans...the same ones who bought his Jersey and hoped he'd play hard here. And you blame his lack of effort on D'Antoni?
Yea D'Antoni lost the team....yea his system was terrible....but as far as EFFORT is concerned...there is no excuse for your SUPERSTAR to not give 100%.
Film don't lie...and many unlike yourself did not turn a blind eye to it. Now for the people who said Melo sucks? Those are the idiots. The people who say Melo was lazy or didn't give a 100% for us mostly....that's an accurate observation. Thank the basketball gods for Mike Woodson and for our team playing with new fire...that is the Melo we see on the court. Not the lazy one from before who only gave a 100% either when he wanted to or when he got all the attention

If I went into work gave effort but I didn't give full does that mean I didn't give effort at all or I gave less than 100%? Like what the fu*k do I have to spell it out for you in every sentence?
Your problem is you keep thinking he didn't play hard so in your warped mind whenever I said he did play hard & he did give effort it's blasphemous because you a.ssume that he didn't play hard period.
So let me me tell you once again so you fu*king understand, he did play with heart because if he didn't he would've sulked every time he had to play point forward & be a wing spot up shorter which he didn't do. And ya damn right I blame Pringles for part of the reason why Melo had a bad season not this tired effort sh*t you're trying to force in your posts.
And once again why don't you answer my questions from my previous posts, stop deflecting that sh*t.
Jesus christ it's like talking to those old a.ss 80's Knicks fans stuck in the past yearning for the days of blue collar gritty basketball complaining about superstars & max cats. My god shut up with this overblown effort sh*t.

He wasn't playing hard at the beginning of the season?
He wasn't playing hard when the coach asked him to camp at the 3 point line and run the offense through Jeremy fu*king Lin?
He didn't even bi*ch or cry to the media or nothing... n*gga actually played his role in that dumbass offense... Stupid a.ss fans booing this n*gga when he tried to iso 3 times a game
Talking bout he shouldn't be isoing Name me one star who doesn't iso. Dumbest sh*t I've ever heard
But I wouldn't give 100% on d and overall if the coach did that Lin sh*t to me neither if I was Melo. That sh*t is like a slap in the face. I wouldn't play 100% for that n*gga either

I'm going to start this post by taking an unpopular stance, but I'm going to side with Mr Emmet C. Burns Jr. for a hot second. I'm going to say that he may be right – that politics and football do not belong together. In fact, one could argue that politics and sports in general should never be in the same place at the same time. The people that make this argument, however, overlook the fact that even though sports and politics often operate in extremely different theatres, they share a commonality that cannot be ignored – the public eye (see, I told you that wouldn't last long).
Politics and sports, in this instance football, became violently intertwined this week when Mr Emmet C. Burns Jr., a Democrat from the Maryland General Assembly, wrote a letter to the owner of the Baltimore Ravens about the actions of one of the team's linebackers – Brendan Ayanbadejo. Burns's letter was in response to Ayanbadejo donating a pair of Ravens tickets to a fundraiser for Marylanders for Marriage Equality as well as voicing his opinion for marriage equality. For those unaware, Maryland recently passed legislation to allow same-sex marriages, but the issue is going before voters in the November election. Burns's letter to the Ravens owner did not go unnoticed however, as Chris Kluwe, a punter for the Minnesota Vikings, wrote a scathing rebuttal to Burns, indirectly defending the actions of Ayanbadejo but more adequately championing civil rights.
There are plenty of things to be said here. Yes, Kluwe's words were not elegant or eloquent. Crass might be another term to describe his response. One may question whether the intent was to insult a politician or to actually champion what may be unpopular political opinion. But that hardly matters, because while you could make this an issue over marriage equality, it is so much more than that. Certainly Mr Burns felt that given the political climate in the state, a sports celebrity championing a cause that he is opposed to would be detrimental. But as much as this is an issue surrounding same sex marriage, it's an even bigger issue surrounding civil rights and the right to freedom of speech.
Just so we are clear and to bring everyone up to speed, the First Amendment of the United States Constitution reads as follows:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
People often point to the First Amendment as justification for any and all free speech, and truly this is how the amendment has come to be known among the general public. The amendment though clearly states that Congress shall make no laws abridging the freedom of speech. In Burns's defense, he is neither Congress nor is he making a law.
This point hardly matters though. For any lawmaker, no matter how high in our nation's political system he or she happens to sit, to tell anyone that an employee of a private company should cease and desist from making known their personal opinions on a matter is absolutely absurd. Granted Ayanbadejo is championing a controversial political issue, but would Burns have said anything if Ayanbadejo had instead been championing anti-abortion or anti-same sex marriage views? If the issue of marriage equality wasn't on the ballot in the November elections in Maryland, would Burns have bothered? What Mr Burns forgets is that political speech – even if not truthful – is always protected speech. Mr Burns seems to think that sports celebrities should be seen and not heard, but he has no right to tell a private citizen on what he or she can voice opinions. Mr Burns also forgets that an individual's right to freedom of speech is not dependent on their profession. Taken one step further, for any one individual to say that another should not be able to voice their political opinion seems to violate civil rights. Political speech is not protected because it is popular; only unpopular speech requires protection.
The timing of Burns's letter is also suspect. As has been pointed out in several media outlets, Ayanbadejo has voiced his support for marriage equality well before this year, including an article for The Huffington Post in 2009 and a PSA for Marylanders for Marriage Equality in 2011. Furthermore, Mr Burns needs to hire some staffers to do some fact checking, as Ayanbadejo is not the only NFL player to support same-sex marriage. In fact, the entire team of the San Francisco 49ers participated in the "It Gets Better campaign" this year, and their sister baseball team the Giants participated in 2011 along with the Baltimore Orioles. Furthermore, as Kluwe pointed out in his response to Burns, it was activist coaches and players that ended racial discrimination in the NFL. So it would seem that football and politics have a long history together…

Iago's greed gets him to make Genie pierce a palace ceiling so gold dust pours down from the sultan's treasury. Once covered in gold, he runs off, openly posing as greed incarnated, but is too heavy to fly and everybody wants to pluck his golden feathers. When Abis Mal and Haroud see Iago, they think it's the legendary bird whose trail leads to a treasure. When found and washed by the gang, Iago agrees greed makes unhappy, vows poverty and gives all their precious souvenirs away, preaching everyone must do the same and salesman Akbar becomes his disciple, yet even free valuables cause strife and the unconverted are still looking for the golden bird. After Haroud recognizes it was Iago Abis Mal kidnaps him and Abu, but he only finds a surprising treasure. Meanwhile the Sultan has sent the palace guards to arrest the treasury robber...

One could spend days exploring Lisbon, or as the Portuguese say, Lisboa. I had no preconceived ideas and knew very little about this capital city, and like my fellow visiting boaters in Marina de Cascais, I was surprised and impressed by her which led to many visits before continuing on our planned journey. Lisbon's steep hilled streets and cable cars first remind you of San Francisco but her architecture, long history and culture are clearly European. What I like most about Lisbon is her old world charm (narrow backstreets lined with old and often tiled buildings, small shops, and no high-rises) and modern living. Thanks to a friend also visiting while I was in the area, I got to live a little in Lisbon staying in an apartment in the trendy Bairro Alto area. The uphill street climb and four flights of stairs to reach the modern apartment were rewarded with stunning city views complete with traditional terracotta roof-tops and laundry drying off balconies that extended past the Rio (river) Tejo or up the hill to The Castle. We were surrounded by old Lisbon, vibrant with residents, students and other modern explorers like ourselves. Short strolls gave access to some of my favorite Lisboan things including dozens of small traditional restaurants where it's actually fun to try the house wine, Bairro Alto's street party nightlife, Solar do Vinho do Porto which is Portugal's Port & Wine Institute located in an old home with an impressive tasting room, unique shops selling Portuguese made goods including beautifully made shoes, textiles & pottery, and outside cafés & pastelarias providing strong coffee and local specialties such as custard tarts.

What what is buy my aunt for the christmas season? Good question. Not easy to answer unless you check about your wife foremost. If she's unsure as to what she wants and doesn't give that you simply specific answer, then consider asking her these questions: "Would you like a bit of jewelry?" "How about some perfume?"

The Conservative government's approach to foreign policy is a misguided mixture of Star Wars and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, NDP foreign affairs critic Hélène Laverdière said in a press conference Monday as Prime Minister Stephen Harper left for a five-day visit to China.
"The government has shown in foreign affairs that it takes more a kind of… I call it sometimes Star-Wars approach," Laverdière said.
When first elected, human rights were Harper's top priority, the Laurier-Ste-Marie MP said, but his focus has shifted to trade and his diplomacy has become increasingly simplistic.
"You know, it's The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly… He goes around the world saying 'you are bad, you are good,'" Laverdière said. "I don't think this kind of approach is either helpful or enhances Canada's credibility abroad."
Calling the prime minister's China visit "timely," Laverdière called on Harper to discuss Iran, the state of the world economy and the Chinese decision on Saturday to veto the United Nations Security Council resolution on Syria.
"Nobody is happy with that veto," Laverdière said.
"The first step is to understand why China vetoed that resolution, understand well their concerns, because that's the only way we're able to come to some sort of agreement, to some sort of understanding where we can move ahead together."
Asked to elaborate, she recommended recalling the Canadian ambassador and offering more "forceful" support to the Arab League, something she feels could help repair Canada's negative image in the Arab world.
"Maybe, if we were to offer more forcefully our support and help to the Arab league, maybe it would mitigate the bad impressions left by Minister Baird's last trip in the region," she said.
Though she didn't explain what forceful support would entail, the Arab League has ruled out foreign military intervention.
Laverdière was joined at the press conference by NDP international trade critic Brian Masse.
Masse criticized the government's "unsophisticated approach to trade" and argued the trip should not only address human rights concerns, but also labour and the environment.
"There should be team going over on this trade mission that examines those things," he said, adding that that's the only way Canada can "compete fairly."
A failure to do so, he warned, could result in Canada becoming even more dependent on the export of natural resources at the expense of value-added manufacturing.
"We're going to see, basically, Canadians have their own natural resource used as a subsidy to basically take their jobs," Masse said.
Harper is scheduled to visit three cities during the five-day China visit, and has meetings planned with President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao. He'll be accompanied by a 40-person delegation that includes representatives from companies such as Bombardier, Air Canada, Embridge, and Syncrude.

Last Friday night Back Seat Girl and I were walking home from the neighborhood pizza place. It was just the two of us, we had gotten separated from the rest of our group. We were walking up a hill on our street and the sun was getting low on the horizon. It illuminated all of the bugs flying from tree and tree and bush to bush. I noticed this after we had seen two ant cities that were teeming with millions of ants, with more ants flying overhead.
I thought to myself "Man, late August is a disgusting time of year".
BSG inhaled sharply, stopped walking, and looked ahead of her with awe. "Mom, look at all the magic!".
Suddenly late August didn't seem so bad.
