Buying Treadmills Online - Time-Tested Tips
Treadmills are designed to enhance the most popular form of exercise today - walking, jogging and running. Shopping for a good treadmill can be overwhelming for a lot of buyers. Basic treadmill models can start anywhere from $100 and can go up to $5000.
Treadmills can have either AC or a DC powered motors. A few treadmill models, which have rollers, are powered by the user instead of a motor. Always choose a belt width that is at least of 16 " and is long enough to accommodate your stride or any other user.
The more expensive treadmill models will have a selection of preprogrammed exercise routines. Less expensive treadmill models require you to manually change the incline, which can be frustrating if you want to make adjustments midway through a workout session. People, who don't have enough room for a bulky exercise machine, may want to consider buying a folding treadmill; they collapse to allow for quick and easy storage.
One of the key things to remember is the larger motor will tend to run cooler and usually require less repair and maintenance. One feature that is absolutely necessary in a home treadmill is an emergency stop button or a safety key that automatically shuts off the power if you stumble, trip, or fall. Quite a few of the treadmills available today have the ability to add an incline to your workout to duplicate running or walking uphill, thereby increasing the intensity of the workout.
The newest models of treadmills come with quite a few extra features that you may not need. The console indicates the belt speed and other factors, like heart rate, miles per hour and distance.
When planning your purchase always take into account any other members of your family, or roommates, who will be using the treadmill. It is important to set a strict budget and stick to it. The taller a person is the longer the stride will be so make sure to choose a treadmill with a longer and wider belt.
Did I mention to check out the warranty fine print; this is very important. If you can afford to buy a treadmill with a heart rate monitor, it'll be a good investment for your health. Make sure to add the cost of shipping if you buy a treadmill online; quality models can be heavy and shipping will cost more, but some manufacturers' offer free shipping.
Probably the most important thing to look for in a treadmill is to see how strong or sturdy it is. It is best to buy a treadmill that has at least a one-year warranty. Be careful not to believe the marketing hype if you're looking for a cheaper treadmill; the truth is you will get what you pay for.
A major consideration when buying a treadmill is how the machine is built. When you're reading treadmill ratings or treadmill reviews, they should cover safety statistics, the heart rate monitor, the various merits of the interactive model and computer fitness programs and levels.
The more incline variation is offered in a treadmill unit, the more expensive the model will be. It is definitely possible to find a good model that is not very popular, but is still a good buy.
If you have serious problems with your legs, a treadmill may not be the best choice of home exercise equipment for you. Running or walking on a treadmill can be an effective way to workout compared to more complex cardiovascular exercises. Be careful; any type of jogging or running, whether on a treadmill or not, puts strain on leg and hip joints. Walking, whether on a treadmill or not, is one of the best health approaches anyone can take toward physical fitness.
Buying a treadmill over the Internet doesn't have to be intimidating when you've done your research adequately. Spend some time shopping around, work out exactly what you need, and then shop both online and offline for the best price. For most people, buying a home exercise treadmill is going to be a significant investment.

By NEMS Daily Journal
Gov. Bryant's energy summit on Thursday in Jackson reminded Mississippians of our state's impressively diverse and abundant energy resources producing significant output in essential products like crude oil, natural gas and coal, plus huge potential in biomass-driven energy development as that renewable energy resource becomes more reliable and abundant as a finished product.
The U.S. Department of Energy's website cites recent and ongoing development:
* A new $1.1 billion liquefied natural gas import terminal, opened in October 2011 in Pascagoula, can re-gassify super-cooled natural gas at a rate of up to 1.3 billion cubic feet per day; the natural gas is then sent by pipeline to users throughout the South.
* In 2011, the Pascagoula Chevron oil refinery had the 10th largest refining capacity in the United States; it was able to process 330,000 thousand barrels of crude oil per day.
* The 1,251-megawatt Grand Gulf nuclear power plant near Port Gibson along the Mississippi River generated 18 percent of the state's electricity during 2010.
* Mississippi's one ethanol plant can produce 54 million gallons of biofuel annually, enough to equal about 0.5 percent of total U.S. ethanol output.
* Mississippi generated 2.8 percent of its electricity from renewable energy resources during 2010, with wood and wood waste accounting for almost all of the state's electricity generation from renewable energy.
In addition, our state ranks above the bottom rung among the states with energy resources:
* 17th in coal, with 4 million short tons dug;
* 12th in oil, with 2.04 million barrels pumped (Mississippi once ranked in the top 10 in production);
* 21st in natural gas, with 73.721 million feet extracted; and
* 26th in electricity, with 5,046 million mwh generated.
Mississippi's existing ability to move energy resources by pipeline, rail and highway is among its most valuable assets, and as new methods extract more of our state's resources, that infrastructure will create a double return for the economy.
Major port access on the Gulf of Mexico, in combination with the Mississippi River and Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, rail infrastructure, high-capacity pipelines, and other core infrastructure assets round out the hand of resources that may further and markedly expand energy-based development.

Lovers of Charles Schulz's classic Peanuts comic strip are probably jumping with joy this week.
It was just announced that the comic — which debuted in 1950, then became a beloved TV special years later with A Charlie Brown Christmas — will be made into a movie in 2015, half a century after the holiday show aired.
Schulz's son and grandson are teaming up with News Corp's (NASDAQ:NWSA) 20th Century Fox for the animated film, which will be the fifth time on the big screen for Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Linus' blankie and Lucy.
Unfortunately, while Hollywood films don't have a great track record when it comes to remaking childhood characters to our idealistic standards, they do end up bringing in some dough. And as much as everyone loves Schulz's creation, history says there's a good chance we'll leave the theater saying "Good grief!"
Just look at these seven beloved classics that the big screen has already butchered:
The Smurfs
Last summer, Columbia Pictures, a division of Sony (NYSE:SNE), released The Smurfs — a remake that was blue in more way than one.
The film was an odd combination of CG cartoon characters and live action, but apparently still was appealing enough to kids who didn't know what the film was ruining.
Yes, the movie blunted unimpressed critics by breaking $30 million during its opening weekend — about $7 million more than was expected. In total, it made $563 million worldwide, in part thanks to the inflated ticket prices that came with seeing these little guys in 3D.
As a reward, we will be blessed with The Smurfs 2 in 2013. Mark your calendars, then go do something else that day.
Yogi Bear
Yogi Bear didn't fare quite as well on the big screen. This remake came out a year earlier, courtesy of Time Warner's (NYSE:TWX) Warner Bros., and even had Hanna-Barbera, creator of the original cartoon, on board as a producer.
The film under-performed opening weekend, bringing in $16 million and countless harsh reviews. Several critics, for example, referred to it as a "dumber-than-average" family film.
Over time, though, Yogi and Boo-Boo did manage to gross around $200 million worldwide, making it a success compared to the film's $80 million budget.
Still, fans of the original The Yogi Bear Show couldn't have been pleased. Voice actors Justin Timberlake and Anna Faris were a far cry from the good ol' days in Jellystone Park.
Michael Bay doesn't do anything halfway. So when he decided to make a film featuring Hasbro's (NASDAQ:HAS) classic robot action figures, we should've known there would be over-the-top explosions and more than just one installation.
The first three Transformers films already have blasted their way through theaters, and a fourth is on the way. Lovers of the original Optimus Prime might not have been thrilled by the remake's take on the characters, but audiences still flocked to its debut.
Transformers was the fifth-most successful film in 2007, grossing more than $700 million worldwide and winning several awards. The second movie — which critics tore apart — grossed even more. The third — fittingly in 3D — broke the $1 billion mark.
You'll have to wait until 2014, though, to watch Bay again rework Autobots and Decepticons, replace Shia LeBouf, throw in some random hot girl … and, of course, blow stuff up.
Jim Davis' Garfield — the world's most syndicated comic strip — first hit the big screen with the slogan: "Get ready for frisky business."
That was the first of many red flags.
The remake took the beloved cat, made him into a CGI Garfield, threw him in a live-action world and ended up being 5 Rotten Tomatoes points away from making the site's "100 Worst Movies of All Time" list.
The film was unimpressive in U.S. box offices, but overseas popularity helped it gross more than $200 million worldwide … sadly giving 20th Century Fox enough reason to make a sequel (with the groaner title Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties).
The second film brought in around half as much — and Raspberry nominations for Worst Prequel or Sequel and Worst Excuse for Family Entertainment.
Even Bill Murray, the voice of Garfield, said he regretted doing the film.
Speed Racer
Take a popular Japanese anime series, hand it over to Warner Bros., and what do you get?
Flashy visual effects … and otherwise a flaming disappointment for loyal Speed Racer fans.
Despite being written and directed by the Wachowskis — directors of The Matrix franchise — Speed Racer was a critical and box office failure on the big screen back in 2008. Reviewers didn't hate it quite as much as they did Garfield and The Smurfs, but fans didn't like it as much as those travesties.
While bright colors and fast cars were enough to lure in some unknowing kids, they weren't enough to do much else. The movie's budget was estimated to be around $120 million, and its first weekend grossed around 15% of that — far below expectations. Total sales came in at just over $40 million domestically and $90 million worldwide.
Luckily, that means we won't have to see Speed Racer 2: A Tail of Two Chim-Chims.
G.I. Joe
Viacom's (NASDAQ:VIAB) Paramount Pictures made G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra, which attracted big Hollywood names — Channing Tatum, Dennis Quaid, Joseph Gordon-Levitt — and enough viewers for it to take the No. 1 box office spot opening weekend, grossing $55 million. In all, it made $300 million worldwide.
Of course, what those viewers watched didn't resemble the timeless Hasbro G.I. Joe toys or cartoon series that inspired it. Fans complained that the film didn't relate to the original franchise at all, with one claiming that the studios "actually went out of their way to butcher the G.I. Joe mythos in favor of derivative storyline devices."
It was almost no surprise, then, that the film was nominated for six Razzie awards, including Worst Picture, Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Director.
The surprise instead came when news of a sequel — G.I. Joe: Retaliation — was announced.
The Lorax
How the Grinch Stole Christmas might still be the highest-grossing Dr. Seuss film, but The Lorax is a close second. Comcast's (NASDAQ:CMCSA) Universal Pictures gathered the voices of Danny Devito, Zac Efron and Taylor Swift to remake the classic, whimsical, environmentalist book, and it was the first animated film in the year up to its release to gross more than $200 million in North America.
Despite its impressive numbers, not all fans were pleased with this take on the classic.
For starters, the film lacked the typical Dr. Seuss rhymes, and mocked them the few times they were used. On top of that, there were more than 70 product placements in the film, which viewers were especially critical of since they were aimed at children. Doing justice to any beloved children's classic is naturally a challenge, but having it overflow with marketing definitely isn't the path to success.
We hope the makers of Peanuts learn from these seven stumbling attempts at remakes, though, and that things go better when Snoopy & Co. hit the big screen.
As of this writing, Alyssa Oursler did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Health promotion in palliative care : the case for conceptual congruence
Rosenberg, John P. & Yates, Patsy (2010) Health promotion in palliative care : the case for conceptual congruence. Critical Public Health, 20(2), pp. 201-210.
Accepted Version
(PDF 266kB)
This article provides a critical review of the literature relevant to the conceptual foundations of health promoting palliative care. It explores the separate emergence and evolution of palliative care and health promotion as distinct concerns in health care, and reviews the early considerations given to their potential convergence. Finally, this article examines the proposal of health promoting palliative care as a specific approach to providing end of life care through a social model of palliative care. Research is needed to explore the impact for communities, health care services and policy when such an approach is implemented within palliative care organisations.

Regardless of the magic ability to "see" talent, even our defense that got so manhandled to tonight didn't allow many points, and when it was all said and done we just needed more than 12 points of offense, and a QB who is letting his inexperience show by never setting his feet properly to throw a pass, resulting in inaccurate balls and of course two absolutely crushing picks, simply isn't getting the job done.
I love how we can blame Tannehill's inability to do anything on the receivers, when last I checked Chad Pennington took a receiving corps equally as bad and won 11 games. Yes, I realize we had the wildcat that year, but we weren't completing 67 percent of our passes for 3,600 yards from wildcat formations.

Australia Hunter Valley New South Wales

With a romance that started at sixteen and eventually led them to a walk down the aisle, this new hubby & wife team couldn't be more adorable if they tried. And their Hunter Valley wedding captured by Kellee Walsh is a lovely look into their personalities. It all took place in the most stunning of settings, and every moment of their gorgeous day is sitting pretty right here.
From the Bride… Matt and I met when we were sixteen years old, and were pretty much inseparable from then onwards. From the beginning we knew we were made for each other and would one day commit our lives to one another, the only question being timing. Six years later we tied the knot in the beautiful gardens of Roberts Restaurant. Our faith is of great importance to us, so it meant a lot that we were able to sing hymns, which was definitely a memorable part of the day, listening to the voices of 100 of our dearest family and friends echo through the valley.
One of our guests kindly shared afterwards that at one point during the vows, the leaves shone the brightest green and the birds sung softly, emulating a Disney movie. This was the biggest compliment for me, as it truly felt like a dream.
We both thought that the hidden field lined with trees would be the ideal location for our garden ceremony. Another reason why we chose Roberts was because it is in the stunning Hunter Valley, which has an abundance of suitable locations for photography. Our amazing photographer Kellee Walsh sourced and shot the bridal party in an incredibly scenic long grassed meadow with mountains in the background.
The reception was held in Roberts Restaurant dining hall, which provides rustic aesthetics with fantastic food and wine. The dining hall was decorated with candles, vintage books and flowers to compliment the natural beauty and character of the room. We used vintage suitcases as the honeymoon wishing well. We also had little jars of lollies presented on a candy buffet with a thank you bunting. Our photographer Kellee Walsh also provided us with a photo booth for our guest's entertainment.
Overall we wanted the wedding to be both entertaining and fun, but more importantly reflect the seriousness of our commitment and our genuinely deep love for one another.

Every firm has employees, as well as individuals that it has "failed" to hire, or promote, or recognize and reward to the extent that the individuals believes befitting. This is what makes it difficult to completely avoid employment disputes and possible litigation. Even if the firm and its employees don't take action, it is possible that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or other enforcement agency may do so on its own recognizance. In fact, 6 out of 10 employers faced an employee lawsuit between 2006 and 2011, and that trend is expected to continue. Also, almost 75% of all litigation against companies involves employment disputes.
Employment Practices Liability (EPL) insurance protects a Company and its directors, officers and employees for claims alleging employment-related wrongdoing. In certain respects, EPL coverage is similar to other management liability coverages such as Directors and Officers and Fiduciary Liability insurance in that it is typically written on a claims-made basis, covering claims first made against the employer and its employees during the policy period. Some but not all EPL policies are also claims-reported, requiring notice to the insurer during the same period for coverage to apply. While many companies assume that all EPL coverage is generally the same and become solely focused on the premium, the truth is that the quality and scope of EPL coverage varies significantly from policy to policy. For example, customers and clients can also bring claims alleging harassment or discrimination. Although such claims would not typically be covered as an employment claim under an EPL policy, a number of insurers are willing to include coverage for claims by third parties, either expressly in the policy form or added by endorsement.
In addition to considering how much EPL insurance costs, below is a list of questions you should be asking about the quality of the EPL coverage you are considering.
It should also be noted that even where the insureds have the right and obligation to defend their own claims, there may be a panel counsel requirement – giving the carrier control or influence over the selection of defense counsel – as well as a voice in the settlement of any claim. A company's preference on control of defense as well as selection of defense counsel should be discussed before coverage is placed and may well play a strong role in carrier selection.

A recursive function is a function that has the ability to call itself (recursion). I ran into this problem while trying to delete a directory containing files and/or other directories. I was using FTP at the time so, the function will be written as such. It can be easily ported to using filesystem functions by following the same logic/flow.

<?php # server credentials $host = "ftp server"; $user = "username"; $pass = "password"; # connect to ftp server # login using credentials function recursiveDelete($directory) { # here we attempt to delete the file/directory { # if the attempt to delete fails, get the file listing # loop through the file list and recursively delete the FILE in the list foreach($filelist as $file) { recursiveDelete($file); } #if the file list is empty, delete the DIRECTORY we passed recursiveDelete($directory); } } ?>

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
White House: We Won't Release Any More Operational Details About OBL Killing
Instead, Carney focused on the courage and professionalism the Seals displayed in carrying out their mission, which killed the country's most wanted enemy for more than 10 years.
"I'm not going to get into operational details...," he told reporters at a briefing. "What happened on Sunday night was an incredibly courageous team of U.S. personnel entered a foreign country in darkness and executed -- at great risk to their own personal safety -- executed that mission with great professionalism and accomplished a goal that this country has sought in 10 years."
Carney repeatedly refused to answer basic operational questions about the sequence of events that occurred inside the compound Sunday night, at times appearing petulant when reporters persisted.
The administration has reached the point in which sharing any more information about covert mission could hinder future operations against "bad guys," Carney remarked.
"We have, as you know, since the moment this operation has become public, have been as helpful as we can be to provide as much information as we can...," he said. "We cannot cross lines because of the necessity for preserving the method and operational techniques ... and we've gone to the limit of our ability to do that."
Carney on Tuesday dialed back and corrected statements from John Brennan, Obama's top counterterrorism aide, and others who were overflowing with details Monday and said that bin Laden was armed and "resisted" the U.S. assault team before being killed and had used a woman, most likely his wife, as a human shield.
According to the Pentagon's Tuesday narrative, as relayed by Carney, Osama was unarmed, and a woman, Osama's wife, in the room with him rushed the U.S. "assaulter" and was shot in the leg but not killed. Another woman was killed on a different floor when she was caught in "crossfire," Carney said.
The new, tight-lipped strategy came at the same time the White House announced that the President would not release photos of Osama bin Laden's slain body out of concern that the photos could incite violence and be used propaganda tools.
"We've done DNA sampling and testing and so there was no doubt we had killed Osama bin Laden," Obama told CBS's "60 Minutes" program, according to an excerpt released by the White House. "The fact is you will not see bin Laden walking on this Earth again."
"It is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of someone who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence or as a propaganda tool," Obama added. "That's not who we are. We don't trot out this stuff as trophies."
Carney said Obama opposed the photos release since the successful Sunday raid but had held off in making a final decision until he had a chance to weigh the opinions of the rest of his national security team. CIA Director Leon Panetta was among those advocating for the release of the photos as a way to quell any conspiracy theories that bin Laden was still alive. Panetta told a closed-door Congressional briefing Tuesday that releasing the photos was just a matter of time.
When asked about Panetta's views, Carney would only acknowledge a difference of opinion among leaders, but said the majority of the team, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, share Obama's view not to release.

Dish No. 15: Montanara Pizza at Forcella
Deep-fried delicious
Lauren Shockey
For this week's review, I paid a trip to Neapolitan newcomer Forcella. Now, I've eaten my fair share of pizzas, but I have to say I'd never eaten a deep-fried pie before, and the restaurant kinda blew my mind with its unusual celebration of caloric excess. Three fried offerings are available, two of which are stuffed like calzones, but best of all is the simple montanara pizza.
As noted in the review, to make the $10 pie, pizzaiolo Giuliano Adriani submerges the dough in oil first, creating a base that billows with air but keeps its chewiness while crackling bubbles pock the edges. He then lightly sauces the disk and polka-dots it with house-made mozzarella before baking. The result is a mash-up of textures, a pie that's chewy and gooey, but also airy and crispy. Many things shouldn't be fried in life: Twinkies, Mars bars, and butter, to name a few. You'd think that pizza would fall into that category, too. Forcella exists to prove that notion wrong.

Just in case anyone is ready to celebrate the January jobs report, here's a reminder that 8.3 percent unemployment (with real unemployment still running at 15 percent) is bad news despite the positive trend.
You can see from the above graph why the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates it is going to take a decade (i.e until 2018) to come back from the crash caused by the Bush administration's economic malfeasance, especially given the current Washington obsession with austerity instead of economic recovery. We can count on Republicans doing everything they can think of to stall the economy, while Dems claim to be powerless to do much to help the middle class. Remember, consumers are the real "job creators" and consumer confidence declined in January.

To me, money is…independence. It gives you freedom to do what you really want to do. It allows you to not be dependent on anyone or anything, and so you can be yourself and follow your passion. No one can tell you what to do or push you around. It gives you a secure feeling. Thats the best thing about money.
Im not an overly material person. Sure, I like certain comforts in life. But buying a lot of things doesnt produce happiness for me. In some cases, it's almost the opposite: Buying a bunch of expensive objects just requires more upkeep and creates more hassles. It adds clutter to your life that is distracting. As I get older, I increasingly value free time thats completely free of appointments. Time to think, time to reflect, time to just hang out with my wife and kids.
My last significant purchase was…a nice bracelet for my wife for Christmas. It was nothing ostentatious, just a simple and elegant design. It went over well.

You guys, I disappeared for a month in my pantry and came out with the most organized (and possibly the prettiest) space I've ever had. Sometimes I go in there to just look at it. Then I eat a bag of chips or whatever.
Lovable Livable Home + All the Celebrations
You guys, Young House Love's new book Lovable Livable Home is out. Then West Elm Salt Lake City posted this picture on instagram. I saw it was like OMG I see something familiar in the background!! (Spoiler: I wasn't actually shocked. I signed some releases before, so I knew about it. BUT it's completely different actually seeing it.)
Our Kitchen
Now that we've lived in this house for over a year and a half, it's about time we share the kitchen. This space dictated so much of our floor plan decision and gave us the most drama (again and again) in the details. Our pendants are vintage with a cool story and local roots. They are huge too at 18 inches in diameter and height.
Raising Readers Back to School
It's time to go back to school. Excuse me while I continue to cry myself into a useless pile of snot. I cannot even begin to put my emotions about back to school in writing at this moment. One day my crazy will subside, and I can eloquently express all the feels while courageously aiding all the mothers of America with this difficult transition. (Clearly the crazy runs deep in me.)
In the meantime, let's look at some great book choices for your kids about going back to school! Thus making me somewhat useful at this point.
Client Work: Family Gameroom
In case anyone needed a reminder that I'm a realtor (and a super fun one at that), here's some client work I did for one of my buyers which is like the best perk ever. Read: send all your friends to me to buy/sell.
Raising Readers Volume 1
A new blog series of sorts is happening today. It's all about Raising Readers and features my adorable children (no bias in that statement). In my former life, I was a first grade teacher. My passion for children's literature is still alive and well. Also hereditary apparently since both Ramona (5) and Beckett (at 18 months!!!) love to "read".
We wanted to share some favorites with you. It's the best way I can document this cuteness while it lasts and hopefully help you mamas at home find some new books that make reading with and to your kids more enjoyable.
DIY Abstract Drapes
The most ambitious DIY I did for Ramona's room was her abstract drapes. Full disclosure this is not a DIY for the faint of heart. It's a pretty simple (dare I say easy) process, but it's incredibly time consuming and not real cheap either. I know I'm really selling you on doing this right now. BUT they are jaw dropping. People are floored at their awesomeness when they come over. Worth it.
Weekend Wants
Another edition of weekend wants makes a blog appearance because sometimes over sharing is a good thing.
DIY Tribal Wall Art
Nick is always noticing awesome things in restaurants and coffee shops, so it's no surprise our next tutorial is inspired from an art piece from Weekend Coffee in Dallas. As soon as he saw it, he wanted to re create one for Ramona's room.
What the heck
Yeah I mean you hear crickets on the blog for months and then all of the sudden there's a blog post on April Fool's Day nonetheless! The title says it all. What the heck is happening around Wills Casa?? Have we gone the way of the buffalo (which technically the guys in the picture are bison and also probably female but irrelevant to my point)??

When I'm stressed, time speeds up and so do I. I talk faster and my words run together. I rush around trying to do more than one thing at a time. In a hurry, I forget important things and make mistakes that take away more precious time, increasing my stress. My heart beats faster. I breathe faster. I move faster and more violently. I anger more quickly. I react without thinking. Stress hormones overwhelm my body, damaging each organ and system, and my body tries to communicate with me though pain, nausea, headaches, exhaustion, cravings. If I stay in a state of stress too long, my poor body burns out and I get sick.
In the beginning of my healing journey, I read a lot of books that encouraged me to change what I thought, to change my words and thoughts from negative to positive. Instead of thinking, "I'm so stressed out," I tried to think, "I am at peace."

While the rest of us were watching the season premiere of Saturday Night Live this weekend, the House passed a bill that holds women's health hostage as a bargaining chip in the debate over shutting down the government.
It is such a typical move by the far-right politicians in the House that it almost plays out like a skit on SNL. They have become caricatures of themselves.
Specifically, late Saturday night, the House passed a continuing resolution that would exempt bosses from complying with the ACA's Women's Health Amendment if they oppose it for "religious or moral" reasons. This means that bosses could impose their religious beliefs on their employees, or even block their employees' access to needed women's health care for vague and undefined "moral" reasons. Female employees and dependents – just like men – are capable of making their own health decisions and must be allowed to do so without interference from their bosses.
Since August 1, 2012, all new health plans must cover a range of women's preventive services without cost sharing, such as co-pays or deductibles. They are:
- Breastfeeding support, supplies, and counseling;
- Screening and counseling for interpersonal and domestic violence;
- Screening for gestational diabetes;
- DNA testing for high-risk strains of HPV;
- Counseling regarding sexually transmitted infections, including HIV;
- Screening for HIV;
- Contraceptive methods and counseling; and,
- Well woman visits.
So, women who currently have this coverage could lose it.
It is offensive and unacceptable that the House would play politics with women's health. It is imperative that the Senate stand up for women and reject this amendment.
Because it really isn't funny that women can't get the preventive health services they need because they cannot afford them. And, there's nothing funny at all about people still believing that women should not be able to make their own health care decisions.

Sunday, March 13
First Sunday in Lent
Weekly Theme
Abundant Grace
God of mercy, your word was the sure defense of Jesus in his time of testing. Minister to us in the wilderness of our temptation, that we who have been set free from sin by Christ may serve you well into life everlasting. Amen.
Focus Scripture
Matthew 4:1-11
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was famished. The tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread." But he answered, "It is written, 'One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you,' and 'On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.'" Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'" Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor; and he said to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me." Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! for it is written, 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.'" Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came and waited on him.

3. How often, and how, do you make room for God in your life?
4. Do you think all suffering should be relieved as soon as possible? Why or why not?

by Kate Huey
In "Lenten Discipline," her sermon on Luke's version of the temptation of Jesus in the desert, Barbara Brown Taylor gives a wonderful description of how Lent came to be (after all, it's not in the Bible). Many years after Jesus had not returned as quickly as expected, church folks "decided there was no contradiction between being comfortable and being Christian, and before long it was hard to pick them out from among the population at large. They no longer distinguished themselves by their bold love for one another. They did not get arrested for championing the poor. They blended in. They avoided extremes. They decided to be nice instead of holy and God moaned out loud."
The church dug deep into its faith story, recalling the time (always with the number forty involved) that Israel, Elijah, and Jesus each spent in the desert, wandering and suffering, longing and learning: hungry. "So the church announced a season of Lent…an invitation to a springtime of the soul. Forty days to cleanse the system and open the eyes to what remains when all comfort is gone…to remember what it is like to live by the grace of God alone and not by what we can supply ourselves." Then as now, folks had their "pacifiers," Taylor calls them, all the things and ways that we keep ourselves from feeling what it means to be human, even if that means being in pain or being afraid. Our pacifiers can convince us that we don't really need God. In fact, Taylor believes that just about all of us struggle with an addiction, "anything we use to fill the empty place inside of us that belongs to God alone. That hollowness we sometimes feel is not a sign of something gone wrong. It is the holy of holies inside of us, the uncluttered room of the Lord our God. Nothing on earth can fill it, but that does not stop us from trying."
So here we are, at the beginning of another season of Lent: it sometimes feels like "Lent Again," but Taylor's words are fresh and strangely inviting, if one can find the desert inviting. In another sermon, on this Matthew text, Taylor recalls her own time spent in the desert: "There is something about a desert that can suck all the self-confidence right out of you. It is so big, so quiet, so empty that you cannot help noticing how small and perishable you are. You remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return. You wish you had someone to distract you from that fact, or at least someone to talk to about it. Anyone but the devil, that is."
Jesus' lonely struggle in the barren wilderness follows immediately, the very next verse, after the amazing incident down at the river when he was baptized and the sky opened up, and the Spirit descended, and the voice of God pronounced him God's Beloved Son. It's striking, if you read everything that leads up to this desert time, that the dramatic moment at the river is the only indication that Jesus has received so far in the Gospel that he is someone special. He actually accepts baptism, humbly, from John, in fact, he insists on it "to fulfill all righteousness." So we might wonder if Jesus was so affected by that dramatic revelation that he felt "driven" by a need to be alone and figure out what that exactly meant, what God was calling him to be and to do. That's one way of reading that "the Spirit" drove him into the desert. Taylor says that out there, Jesus may "have wondered if he had imagined the whole thing."
The way Matthew tells the story, Jesus experienced not only hunger and loneliness and perhaps doubt but also the temptation to relieve his suffering by turning stones into bread (just for himself, of course), and by testing God (just to make sure what he had heard down by the river was really true), and by grabbing power and glory even if it cost him his loyalty to the one true God whose Child he was. Again, Barbara Brown Taylor describes the pressure from the devil, who "subtly suggested that Jesus deserved better than God was giving him." Today, his followers may hear a "devilish voice in our heads [that] says things like, 'If you are a child of God, shouldn't things be going a little smoother for you? If you are really a Christian, I mean--shouldn't you be happier, healthier, richer, safer?'" It's a huge challenge to reconcile the spirit of this kind of Lenten reflection with the spirit of many of today's theologies that seem to skip over the part of our spiritual journey that demands sacrifice, taking a detour around Calvary to enjoy the sweet, comforting time in the garden, alone, with the risen and glorified Jesus. But that's getting ahead of the story.
Jesus' temptations echo those of Israel
Just as the time in the wilderness recalls the wanderings of the people of Israel during the Exodus, Matthew's Gospel will "echo" these three temptations later on: "In the feeding stories Jesus does bring forth bread for the hungry, but even there he makes clear that it is God's word that feeds even more richly than food. In the crucifixion those who taunt him echo the devil: 'If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross'….Beyond death Jesus does receive all authority, not just on earth but in heaven, too, but it is still not the authority of princes and principalities…[but] the authority of presence" (New Proclamation Commentary on the Gospels). When Jesus does claim the power that is his, it's exercised on behalf of others, to feed the hungry, heal the sick, and give glory to God. And as he exercises that power, it begins to dawn on those who are watching that the words of that heavenly voice at the river were true.
Richard Swanson always gives an interesting perspective on the text: This "examination" of Jesus "begins with a ritual weakening of the candidate" caused by forty days of fasting. Swanson sees hunger not as "simply a biological state; it is a theological and anthropological index of what it means to be a human being." He remembers that God breathed into Adam and made him "a desiring being. That means that Jesus, as a result of his ritual fast, has become fully alive, a human being at the most basic level, capable of the greatness and the depravity that aspiration (hunger) brings to life." So the test is about Jesus' faithfulness to who he is and what God is calling him to do: not to ask for special privileges or place or relief, but to enter fully into this human condition of want and need and pain. The temptations attack him in those places, F. Dean Lueking writes, "where humans expect the best: daily bread, sacred spaces, the devotion of the heart. Learning this from the text of Matthew 4:1-11 brings an end to prideful finger-pointing at others whose transgressions are headline news and brings about a reflective examining of the inner places of the soul, where the real and daily struggle becomes absolutely personal."
The "possibilities for doubt"
Perhaps that is a good way for us to approach Lent: as "a reflective examining of the inner places of the soul." According to Thomas Long, Jesus, like Israel, is tempted in ways that "symbolize all of the possibilities for doubt, misdirection, faithless choices, and unholy distractions to which God's people are ever at risk." Like those earlier Christians who settled into a comfortable faith, we're tempted today to turn away from the suffering of the world, tempted to build our own defenses against doubt and risk, tempted to concentrate not only on our own needs but also our wants, before thinking of others. In doing so, we forget who we are, too, and fall prey to the tempter.
It's not unusual for our focus to be limited, and perhaps it's understandable when the world holds so much possibility for pain on the other side of our defenses. We'll take care of ourselves, and our family, and maybe our church, and perhaps the neighborhood around it, but we really don't have time or energy or ability to reach beyond those narrow lines drawn protectively around us and our loved ones, "the people we know." Thomas Long sees the first temptation that way: "The devil is attempting to beguile Jesus into making the nature of his work too small--satisfying hunger--and the recipients of his work too few--only one, himself. As Messiah, Jesus is called to a ministry of great size…a sweeping ministry, encompassing the whole of humanity; but the tempter places before him another idea--make it narrow." Long connects this to the situation of the church today in a powerful way: "The church experiences this form of temptation whenever it risks losing sight of the breadth of its calling or when we measure the effectiveness of the church according to how quickly it responds to our personal ideas and needs, our demand to be fed…Jesus is hungry, very hungry, but he will not allow the devil to restrict his diet, or ours…Jesus resisted the temptation to make the gospel too small." The devil is all talk, empty talk. Perhaps we need to spend some time in those empty places within us that belong to God alone, listening instead to a gospel larger than we had ever considered, and opening ourselves for what is yet to come.

Winston Churchill, 20th century
One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
Oswald Chambers, 20th century
God never gives strength for tomorrow or for the next hour, but only for the strain of the minute.

West Xtra: West Allegheny junior finds tough competition in sprints
May 8, 2014 12:00 AMLauren Costa didn't plan on being a track star.
A junior at West Allegheny High School, she first competed in the sport as a freshman to spend more time with her friends and older brother, Sammy.
"I think just the bond that my team has really motivates me," Costa said. "I love spending time with my older brother, sharing something we both loved. It's a way to hang out while doing something you enjoy."
Last year the siblings watched each other's events, giving advice and calming nerves. Primarily a distance runner, Sammy competed in the 1,600 and 3,200. He is currently a student at Penn State and still acts as Costa's No. 1 supporter during track season.
Growing up in North Fayette, Costa's primary sport was soccer. She began playing in first grade and stuck with it until last year after her track career quickly took off. As a sophomore, Costa won the WPIAL Class AAA 100-meter dash title and was the PIAA runner-up. She currently holds school records in the 100 and 200, and is a key part of record-holding 400- and 1,600-meter relay teams.
Noticing the potential for growth, she decided to quit competitive soccer and focus on track. Costa admitted that she would like to compete in collegiate track and field if the right school made an offer. She would like to study physical therapy in college.
"I wanted to put more into track," Costa said. "There is always a risk of injury with soccer, and with the potential I was seeing with track, I didn't want to risk it anymore."
A slender 5-foot-7, 125-pound track star, she stands atop Jim Faiella's WPIAL Class AAA Honor Roll for the 100-meter (11.9) and third for 200-meter (25.3). Her lofty times helped West Allegheny win the Section 8-AAA title.
Competitors Jasmine Jones of Hempfield Area (24.92) and Taylor McCorkle of Oakland Catholic (25.11) are the only runners that stand above her on the list for the 200-meter dash.
They prove to be strong contenders late in the season. McCorkle barely outran Costa in both the 100 and 200 at the South Fayette Lions Track and Field Invitational last month.
"She's one of the most talented athletes that we've coached," West Allegheny coach James Hamilton said. "She had some tough competition at Baldwin. She's going to get a lot better the last couple of weeks."
Costa has her sights set high. Her goal is to win the state title before she graduates.
She knows it won't be easy.
Costa says she needs to work on getting out of the starting blocks quicker, which she will be working on with assistant coach Will Mills for the postseason.
"That's what wins you the race," she said.

Agencies, Kochi
Kerala Cricket Association has accorded a rousing welcome to the England and Indian Players, who arrived in the city for the second ODI, to be held here on January 15, at the airport in the evening today.
The special chartered flight of Jet Airways, carrying the players from Rajkot landed at the airport at around 1900 hours, one hour behind the scheduled time.
Since evening a large number of cricket buffs in the city had gathered at the airport to have a glimpse of their beloved 'shining starts in the cricket world', and they lost all their control as soon as the players came out from the airport to board the bus to their hotel.
Opener for India, Rehna was the one who came out first from the airport, followed by Ravindra Jadeja, Amith Misra and Gautham Gambir and then skipper Dhoni.
Yuvraj singh, who returned in the team after his treatment, was received with royal salute by his fans.
After the Indian team, England players also boarded the bus.
Kerala Cricket Association General Secretary T C Mathew, President T R Balakrishnan, Mr Dhanapalan, MP and Just P Andrews were also present at the airport to receive the players.
Both the England and Indian playes would make to net practice on January 13 and 14. The match will be held on January 15.
Curator inspects Kochi pitch for 2nd Indo-Eng ODI ecounter
With just three days left for the second ODI encounter between England and India, BCCI Technical Committee Member and Curator P R Viswanath today expressed satisfaction over the pitch at the Jawaharlal International Stadium where the match would be played on January 15.
After preliminary inspection, Viswanath said, 'I am satisfied with the pitch and it is ready for play even tomorrow.
'The pitch is hard and enough grass is there. Of course, it would favour the battesmen.' Mr Viswanath said he would inspect the pitch later in the evening and make his final remark.
Kerala Cricket Association Curator P P Ramachandran, who was with Mr Viswanath, endorsed his view said the pitch would be suitable for batting.
All preparations for hosting the ODI, the first in this city after gap of five years, were going on smoothly.

Forums >General Running>PLEASE! : Post Your Top 10 Songs On Your Running Playlist! All Genres Welcome!
Needs more cowbell!
I've considered putting together a playlist of f-bomb songs...I could have that Cee Lo song, P!nk's "F*ckin' Perfect," Lily Allen's "Fuck You," and Peaches' "Fuck The Pain Away." I'm sure there are others, but those are the ones I personally own.
• Chemo
• Chemo-Radiation
• Surgery
• Return to kicking my own ass by 2018
Peaches' "Fuck The Pain Away."
Poor Herb.
Maybe he's the pain...perhaps he'd like it. Hmmm...
I only have one suggestion... Rush - Marathon
Options,Account, Forums
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
Here's my current 10k distance playlist
This is a playlist of songs that are 90 or 180 BPM. I run with this one to help keep me turning over my legs at 180 steps per minute.
Maybe you can read this one!
I've got you covered back on page 2. Great great song.
I could go on forever...I love music. Here are a couple of my current favorites I didn't already see listed:
Body Movin' - Beastie Boys
Chicken Fried - Zac Brown Band
Ready to Run - Dixie Chicks
Pretty much anything by Hole
Don't Stop Til You Get Enough - Michael Jackson
Hate Myself for Loving You - Joan Jett
Bulletproof - La Roux
Airstream Driver - Gomez
One More - Superchick (this one is about running)
The Distance - Cake
Everything's Magic - Angels & Airwaves

I don't half-ass anything

Once again, a music thread reminds me that I am old. The good side of this is that I can try out some new stuff that I'm currently saying "who???" about. Which is quite a bit of this thread.

I hear ya brother. On page 2, just to take sample, of all the listed songs, I counted 9 that I was certain I knew. I'd probably recognize a few more when I heard them....so lets call it an even dozen. Yikes!
I've done my best to live the right way. I get up every morning and go to work each day. (for now)
I've got a fever...
Heh, this song got Grammy noms both for Song of the Year and Record of the Year. Can't wait to see that performance.
Let's just clarify now:
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
The shirtless wonder
It's not that you are old. It's that music distribution is different now. It's easy now to find "niche" music. I've discovered bands that I can't buy the music for in the states (without spending $40 for an import CD).
Dope's "Die MF Die" can be added to this list.

I thought that iPods were bad.

Italian Semolina Bread is one of my all time favorite breads. I just love the taste of semolina flour! You can find semolina flour in two varieties, course or finely ground, and either will work in this recipe. I could not find the finely ground semolina until recently and used the coarse ground variety for years in this recipe and it worked out well.
All yeast has an expiration date which is stamped on the package. I've not had good luck using expired yeast, so I suggest discarding any yeast that is beyond the expiration date. If the yeast is nearing expiration, you can freeze it. Generally whenever I buy yeast I automatically freeze it, even the fresh yeast. Since fresh yeast comes in a 2 oz cake, I just cut the yeast into quarters equaling 1/2 oz, wrap each slice in aluminum foil, put it in a ziplock bag and freeze it and I've not had any problems with my bread dough rising.
Generally if you have problems with bread not rising it is due to the yeast or flour. White flour is generally good for 2 years and after that time it is best to throw it out. For instance Whole Wheat Flour is only good for about 8 months to 1 year and after that time it is not a good idea to use it. I know it's hard to throw out what looks like perfectly good flour but even if it's mixed with a fresh white flour, the rise will not meet your expectations. Fresh whole wheat flour does have a naturally sour smell but if the smell is extremely strong and it's been in your pantry for a while, it's probably a safe bet that the flour is bad and will effect not only the rise but the taste. So even using it in a breading for say fried chicken is not a good idea.
Semolina and Rice Flours are generally good for at least 2 years same as white flour. But still, it's best to buy small amounts so your stock is fresh and always store any kind of flour or grain in a sealed, air-tight container. You can store flours in the refrigerator or freezer but even this will not extend the freshness of whole wheat flour!
Italian Semolina Bread
Recipe developed by BigBlackDog
1 1/2 cup semolina flour
1 1/2 cup flour
1 pkg yeast or 1/2 oz fresh yeast
1 cup water
1 tsp honey
1 tsp salt
1 tsp olive oil (to oil the proofing bowl)
1 egg
Dribble of water
Sesame seeds
Makes 1 large baguette or 2 small baguettes
1. Put about 1/4 cup water in the bowl of your KA mixer and add yeast and honey.
2. When yeast has thoroughly dissolved add the flour and salt.
3. Slowly drizzle in the remaining 3/4 cup water while continuing mixing just until a soft ball of dough is formed. The dough should be slightly sticky but very easy to work with. You may or may not use all the water.
4. On a floured surface knead the ball of dough for 4-5 minutes. Form the dough into a smooth ball.
5. Put 1 tsp of olive oil into large proofing bowl. Dip a paper towel into the oil and carefully oil all sides of each bowl.
6. Take the ball of dough and place it into the oiled proofing bowl and then flip it over so that the entire ball of dough is covered with oil.
7. Cover the bowl with a plastic bag or kitchen towel and let rise until doubled about 1-2 hours.
8. When dough has doubled, remove and place on a floured surface and form the baguette(s). See below video.
9. Place the loaf(s) on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover with a light towel or plastic wrap sprayed with Pam. Let rise for about 30-45 minutes.
10. Whip egg with water and lightly brush entire loaf. Sprinkle with seeds and again lightly brush with the egg wash to adhere the seeds to the loaf.
11. Slash loaf(s) with a sharp knife to form an attractive design.
12. Bake at 350 degrees until loaves are golden brown or internal temperature is 206 degrees.
13. Remove to a cooling rack and completely cool before slicing.
And here's another method for shaping a baguette:
