Lovely wooded location. Feels far from everything, without being far from anything. Proximity to Long Point reservation is a real plus--a great beach for kids, with both ocean and pond swimming. The house is pretty, comfortable, and well-maintained. The owners are conscientious and easy to deal with. What more do you want? (PS, we're road bikers, and very much appreciated that the road, unlike many on the Vineyard, is paved. Plus the route to many destinations goes through the bike paths in Corellus forest.)
We have been fortunate enough to vacation here for the last six years, and it's a wonderful home in a great wooded location close to Long Point. It's well appointed and comfortable and has a great deck and yard overlooking a serene horse farm. The owners Elizabeth and Phil are very accessible and easy to work with.
We enjoy welcoming you and your family to our home year after year. Thank you for the review.
We had the pleasure of staying at Elizabeth and Phil's house for 3 weeks, and we had a wonderful time. The house is located in a secluded neighbourhood, very close to the bike route and the forest. You can hear the planes as the airport is nearby, but it's not a nuisance. No cars around. In the evening the fireflies illuminate the trees around the deck. In the evening, the birds offer their soundtrack for your early breakfast. Our two teens loved the loft. Cathedral ceilings, open space that allows the whole family to communicate even when everybody is in a different room, we really enjoyed the house. It is simple, tastefully furnished, and comfy. Isn't that what we are all looking for?
Thank you, we are happy that you enjoyed our home.
This is really a 2 bedroom house not 3. The 2 bedrooms are nice and spacious. There needs to be upgraded glassware, pots and serving platters. The step down from the deck is dangerous, it s too far. There was virtually no paper goods, bathroom tissue,soap, etc.
Thank you for your review, Marty. I'm sorry that you were disappointed in our home. We always clearly describe the layout of bedrooms when speaking with prospective guests. We also describe the loft in the property description. But to make the layout perfectly clear to future guests, we have added pictures of the stairs going up to the loft and the loft itself. We leave an ample supply of paper goods at the beginning of the season, but in the future, we will be sure to have our cleaning staff alert us if supplies are getting low.A complete set of glass-topped pots and pans was purchased in 2014. We also supply a lobster pot.
This home was perfect for our family of 4! Loved the close proximity to Long Point Refuge, and kids enjoyed riding bikes to the beach. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and kids enjoyed playing ping pong and hanging out in the loft! The deck was wonderful for both early morning coffee and evening dinners. Met lots of wild turkey in the yard on on the road:) The location was perfect -- easy travel to all the towns. Elizabeth communicated with us regularly and checked in when we were there. A great stay for our first time on the Vineyard!!
Thank you! We are very happy that you had a good time. Eliz & Phil
We had a peaceful and active time staying in West Tisbury. We were in a quiet home and only a short drive to the beach and kayaking and all of the great places of MV. We look forward to coming back in the fall. Our daughter had a chance to go horseback riding, and we went to many great and affordable places to eat.
Again, our family truly enjoyed our vacation on the Vineyard and a comfortable stay in your home! Many thanks again.
My family and I had a great time on vacation. Your house was perfect for us. My son loved the loft room. The ping pong table was also a hit. It was one of the best weeks we have had on the Vineyard in years. Your house was a huge part of it. We hope to stay again next summer. Thank you.
We really enjoyed our week at your house.....lovely place, so comfortable, very accommodating. One suggestion, no ESPN on basic cable so we had to run to local pubs for Wimbledon coverage. You may want to upgrade cable for those sports fans on rainy days. Hope to return next year.
Thanks again - we had a lovely holiday!
We had a great time (as always)! Looking forward to returning again next year.
Thank you for another great vacation!
We had a great time, the house worked well.
We loved the house and will keep your info on hand for next year!
This was our second year renting this home and if I won Megabucks, I'd offer the owners $$$ to buy it from them! I have rented several homes on the Vineyard that were not as pictured in their ads - this one exceeded my expectations! It is a great house in a terrific location in a quiet, wooded neighborhood. It is a very comfortable, well-appointed home and has always been clean and well maintained. It has amenities one needs on a beach vacation including an outdoor shower and a washer/dryer. The owners are very kind and easy to work with which we appreciate! Thanks for being a part of our vacation and memories!
We had another wonderful vacation on Martha's Vineyard. We look forward to vacationing there again next year.
Thanks so much, we enjoyed your home. I hope we may have the chance to return again next year.
We had a lovely time in your wonderful home. I hope to be in touch with you about reserving the house in 2011.
Once again we enjoyed the house. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for all of the conveniences. We had a wonderful time.
"What a wonderful stay we had! The house was clean and spacious, equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay (the laundry room and dishwasher were especially appreciated). The common living areas were perfect for gathering together to dine and play games but there were also lots of quiet nooks you could get away to. The yard was private and teaming with wildlife and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We were able to get fresh eggs from a nearby neighbor each morning for our breakfast. We enjoyed many morning walks and bike rides; South Beach was only a short walk away. It was perfect! I hope to go back year after year."
"This is a beautiful, relaxing home in a very convenient location - the entire island is at your fingertips. Whether you want a relaxing day reading on the back deck, a day soaking up the sun at one of the nearby beaches, shopping in town, or biking around the island (access to the bike path is right at the end of the street!), this place has it all. I'm always blown away by the serenity of this home too: the sound of the ocean in the distance, the birds chirping, and the sound of the wind through the leaves are the perfect antidote to my relatively hectic life. The home itself is gorgeous: an open floor plan with plenty of sunlight, ample accommodations for cooking and entertaining, and incredibly comfortable beds. I intend to continue coming back here, and would recommend it to anyone!"
"We loved the private, woodsy setting with the herb and flower gardens. The house is comfortable and cozy, nicely furnished and well equipped. We enjoyed the open beach at Long Point, Seth's pond and frisbee golf at the state park, all close by . It's a leisurely drive into Oak Bluff, Vineyard Haven and Edgartown. We're looking forward to returning for our 7th year this summer."
"My husband and I love coming to the island and staying at your home in West Tisbury. We like the privacy and the sound of the waves at night. The location is perfect for us too because it is close to Edgartown and the ferry to Chappy. We like cruisin the back roads to the beach too. The garden makes for such a homey feel and we love the outdoor shower with the sun on your face. The road is nice too for roller blading. Thanks again and we are looking forward to coming back!!"
Another great vacation! Your house looks beautiful and your garden is growing. We look forward to vacationing there again next year.
Everything went great. We had a lovely time and look forward to returning again in the future.
"Our stay here was wonderful. The house is beautiful, very nicely equiped. Loved the privacy and the serenity!! The neighborhood was perfect for our early morning bike rides and early evening walks. Our stay was with 4 adults and 2 teenagers and the house fit us perfectly! The open design of the house let us easily all gather around the table for a game of cards or each find our own quiet space for watching TV, reading or just sitting and watching the birds on the feeder. The beaches are awesome there too! Can't wait to go back."
We had a great stay at your house, it is really wonderful. Thanks a lot.
As always we thoroughly enjoyed our vacation on Martha's Vineyard. We are already looking forward to next summer.
"My husband and I honeymooned at this beautiful home in June 2005. The home is spacious yet very intimate. Loved the wooded lot and the beautiful gardens surrounding the property. We enjoyed the large well-equipped kitchen. I made my new husband his first boiled lobster dinner and he made me great grilled steaks and chops on the outdoor barbeque! Plenty to see and do on the island. I would highly recommend this property to anyone."

As featured on:
What songs are used in the tutorial?
The Symphony - Clouds
Syn Cole - Miami 82 (by Everbeatz)
Medicineman & Sofija Knezevic - Another Me (Mike Livingstone Remix)
Does the tutorial only apply to Pro Tools?
Nope! While Matthew mixes in Pro Tools, the processes he teaches are completely independent of any one particular DAW and will apply to Logic, Ableton, Cubase, Reaper, Fruity Loops, Studio One and other similar platforms.
Do I need to own specific plugins?
Nope! Matthew uses the plugins he prefers to teach with, but the concepts will apply to any similar signal processing. Matthew may demonstrate with the FabFilter Pro-Q EQ or Sonnox Oxford Dynamics compressor, but the same ideas will apply to any EQ or compressor, including stock plugins inside your DAW.
Using high quality software can certainly improve your results, but the most important factor is learning to use what you already have as effectively as possible — and that's what we're all about.
How is this different than other tutorials?
Mixing EDM differs from other tutorials in a lot of ways.
First, it's process-oriented. Rather than teaching a bunch of techniques that only apply to specific source material, Matthew teaches you what to listen for and how to adapt that to the various demands of each individual record.
Secondly, the tutorials are aimed directly at EDM. While a lot of mixing overlaps genres, every style of music has its own unique stylistic world, and those specific nuances are important and shouldn't be overlooked.
Lastly, Matthew isn't just a highly skilled and accredited engineer, but also a highly skilled educator! There are many great engineers — and many of great teachers — but few excel at both. Matthew communicates complex ideas in an easy to understand and digestible way.
How are the files delivered?
After you purchase a course, you'll be redirected to a download page and also get a download link via email. The download comes as a .zip folder of .mp4 video files which you can easily play on any device and are yours to keep forever.
Should I buy this now or wait?

Deer Hunting Widow's Weekend
So, the time has come.....it's opening deer hunting weekend. The time of year where deer hunters from all over the U.S. are preparing themselves for the hunting and gathering that goes on during this time of year. The weekend in which they leave their loved ones behind to fend for themselves. Yes, this is the weekend in which we call "widow's weekend". Not a comforting thought, given our deer hunters go out heavily armed. Oh, not to mention that in the last few years, several hunters were gunned down by a roaming individual who apparently couldn't tell the difference between a white tailed deer and people donned in blaze orange. Sorry, if you happen to be THAT person....but that was just stupid.
So, this year, I decided to have my childhood comrade, Trish, join me during my "widow-ness". I was preparing for a fun time, a clean house and doing chores 2x per day in the freezing rain. Joe was leaving Friday afternoon and would be gone until Sunday. He books his hotel room EVERY year, one year in advance. They all do. Weird, how they can plan ahead a whole YEAR in advance for this weekend, yet can't remember simple stuff like YEARLY birthdays and anniversaries nor can they remember to put the dishes in the dishwasher or that your favorite jeans shouldn't be dried in the dryer. Incidentally, I was told I would get flowers by the end of the weekend. Really? No flowers Friday....no flowers Sunday...oh he must have FORGOTTEN. But, dammit, that room was booked and ready for use, so that's really the important thing.
Thursday night, I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned in preparation for Thanksgiving and for Trish's visit. Joe came into the house after doing chores and gathered his things for the enormous weekend to come. He chit chatted happily about how kick a$$ the weekend was going to be. I stood there looking at my unshowered (because you can't have the smell of soap, shampoo or cologne anywhere near or on your body. Good Lord that'll scare away the deer), and fully bearded spouse (because the beard keeps their face warm in the bitter chill of the morning) and thought "good God, is this what its come to? All it takes for him to skip showering AND shaving is the prospect of shooting a damn deer. Huh, interesting considering I've got deer roaming around the corn field right outside my door ALL YEAR LONG." I could barely get past the stench and Grizzly Adams look without wanting to smack him. I watched as he took out his new tools for the hunt, and listened how these new tools would make the field dressing of the dead carcass easy. I giggled and quickly asked if he brought a bottle of doe urine to sprinkle on his blaze orange vest (for those who don't know, apparently, doe urine in a bottle is used as cologne by these people in order to attract the male deer or buck, as it were)....as if he'd need any further stench purposely drizzled on him after NOT showering for a few days.
But the most interesting tool of the lot was the "Butt Out 2 Big Game Dressing Tool". I looked at this contraption. I looked at the back of the package at the instructions and quickly realized what it was used for. The description says "extra 2" longer than the original, making it easier to maintain a firm grip on the handle during field dressing chores. The Butt Out 2 works for deer, antelope, bear, hogs, and mice, squirrels and frogs (okay, I just made that last part up). Simply insert the Butt Out 2 into the animal's alimentary canal, twist and pull to remove a portion of the intestine, which can then be tied off and removed. This eliminates having to cut around the area with a knife, making the field dressing process quicker, safer, and easier."
What EXACTLY is the "alimentary canal"? Webster describes it as: "the tubular passage that extends from mouth to anus and functions in digestion and absorption of food and elimination of residual waste". That's right....it's the A$$ HOLE of the animal. Apparently this "canal" needs to be removed because, as Joe (and every other hunter) insists, it ruins the meat if you don't . I'm guessing that if I have to remove the ass hole of any animal after I've shot it (clean shot through the heart and lungs is best, I'm assured, for the quick KILL), THAT, in and of itself, will RUIN the dining delight of any meat I might have enjoyed from that particular animal. I mentioned this to my deer hunting friends when I ran into them at our local pub on Saturday (after their deer hunting extravaganza) where Trish and I played afternoon Bingo...."so, did you bring your Ass hole removing tool", I asked as I giggled like a school girl, I watched the doe-eyed blinking of my deer hunting pal's eyes, and I heard him say "oh we don't need no damn tool for that....we just make a cut....blah blah blah" as he went on to describe the grusome details of the cut that can be made with a simple pocket knife to do the same thing this $9.99 tool can do. I almost lost consciousness BUT I was in the middle of a bingo game so really couldn't pass out at that moment. Only Trish's screaming "BINGO" would bring me back into the moment.
So, essentially, these deer hunters....get up at 3:30 a.m., dress in hideously non-matching clothing and donned in blaze orange, sprinkle another animal's urine on themselves, drive to some remote spot, climb a tree and sit there until the perfect "buck" wanders by in its daily stroll through the woods. With cigarette hanging from mouth, eye in the scope, the trigger is pulled, not once but twice in order to hit the heart AND the lungs (ya know, to avoid the needless suffering of the animal). Once the animal drops, it's time to get out the extraordinary BUTT OUT!! tool. Good reviews by my mighty hunter on the ease of use and effectiveness of this tool.
But please, when you get home, agonize me further by making me look at this dead and bloody animal as it lays lifeless in your truck. I will patiently watch as you measure the antlers and take photos with it. I will listen quietly as you bitch about the barn cat standing on top of your fresh kill as it licks its lips and grooms it paws after trying to dig into this lucious piece of fresh meat. Meat which WE will enjoy the whole year through. I will feed you chicken noodle soup and annoint your chest with Vicks as you complain about the sniffles, headache and body aches you now have because of the chill of the morning air you've had to endure for your family....ya know, to refill the freezer with venison.
Yes, I will do all these things because I love you and:
Incidentally, The hell continues as Joe relives this journey with whomever is on the other end of the telephone line. "so, ya, it was 13 degrees when I left and when I got to my stand, it was 14 degrees....blah blah blah....then, SHE was starin' at me and I was starin' at her, then I acted casual and looked at the tree next to her. Then I could hear crackling behind me. It was dark so I didn't see how big she was...blah blah blah AND THEN, all I seen was that huge frickin rack. Couldn't really tell the size, all I knew is he had a nice rack. He was no more than 20-30 yards away and I was pluggin him and pluggin him." What is he talking about? A chick? A dude? A deer? Its hard to tell. Please help me.....call me, write me a note, something! Anything.
jeebus, I thought I was "following" you? I didn't get this until today, when I thought, hey she hadn't posted in a while, but I'm gonna reread the others, cuz they're fun... and we did win a small something that day, didn't we??? sweet!!!
Tell me honestly, doesn't it cost more to hunt than the gain of meat that may or may not be safe to eat, according to who you listen to? My brothers go hunting every winter, only one gets a motel room, he is the sissy of the bunch.
Great hub. I am a hunter and enjoyed reading your hub. I agree with your statement of the guy who was shooting people. Dumb. that is exactly why hunting feels unsafe sometimes. Keep up the great work!
rorshak sobchak
...that was good....love the way hubby gets ready for the hunt....ewww!...poor you....never heard of the butt thing before...loved listenin' in on the telephone calls too!....but yep, he filled the freezer again....and came home with a 'code in his node'...
I was out huntin' this year myself - first time...i don't think many women go...but i just felt like experiencing it...I brought my camera!...had to be really quiet and not ask any dumb questions...i just knew not to push my luck....I wanted to check it out...there's some pretty serious lookin' dudes out there huntin' btw. I notice some seem to wear the camo gear for the entire time hunting season is on...even if they aren't huntin' and just popping into the corner store.....poor wives!...but I get it...where i am camo is worn. And...the sporting shops don't have women's sizes for anything...just stuff for men - large, larger, largest and extra huge...that's not fair!
As for those hunting accidents, I don't believe there is such a thing...I think they have sumthin' to do with luv triangles unless some idjut just fires off their rifle without really knowing what they are shooting at..(and so should not own a weapon).....but, I don't think so. That's what I learned this fall - i gained insight about how (or how not) huntin' accidents happen.
I'm still chucklin'!

Research has shown that people who present themselves well during an interview are more likely to be hired. If convincing others exactly how they should think about you isn't your primary skill (it certainly isn't mine), don't panic. You don't have to be able to manipulate others in order to get hired. I've put together a few tips to help you get through the interview process.
Dress professionally. When in doubt, dress more conservatively. Don't gamble that the office is a casual dress environment if you aren't positive. Even when you know that dress is casual, remember that some hiring managers and HR representatives prefer to see well dressed candidates because they feel like those candidates are serious about getting the job. You always want to convey that you're interested in that job in that company.
Be polite to everyone. More and more offices are letting coworkers weigh in on hiring decisions. The theory behind this approach is that it leads to a more cohesive team after the person is hired. So take the time to learn everyone's name - write down the names in your notes to help you remember, if needed. Treat everyone with respect and take the time to ask them questions. If you can get the others to talk about themselves they are more likely to form a favorable opinion of you.
Smile occasionally. I know this is difficult to do when you're nervous, but if you can find a way to get yourself to smile it can help the interviewers to form a better opinion of you than if you never smile. In addition, smiling can create a more positive environment to help both you and the interviewer to relax more.
Honesty is always the best policy. You may be lacking in an area of experience or you may have just finished working for the boss from hell and are worried about how this could make you look during the interview. Remember that HR representatives are good with people - most of them know how to engage and they relate well to other people. Sometimes they do this a little too well (they can come off as organizational cheerleaders). Because HR professionals tend to have this in their personalities, they're also pretty good at telling when someone is uncomfortable or trying to avoid an answer. When they see that you're uncomfortable they may not be able to tell whether you're lying or why you might be doing so. That's why your best option most of the time is to be honest and come clean. You have a better chance of making it to the next round of interviews if you're honest than if the HR professionals see behavior that indicates you're hiding something.
Never speak poorly about a former employer or manager. At one time or another we've all worked for incompetent monsters or worse. I've been in too many companies and I know the odds are in your favor that you've had a bad experience with a boss. Keep in mind my previous point (honesty is the best policy), but don't let your emotional experience of the situation dictate your words. When asked about these experiences, it's best to explain that you had a difference of opinion and mention any constructive ways that you worked on the situation. This approach is more likely to make you look like a problem solver than a resentful person.
Finally, remember that finding a job is process and it's always about moving forward. Due to the nature of how the process works, you're always going to be rejected more times than you're offered a position. Don't take the rejection personally and don't let it stop you from moving on to the next opportunity. You will only get there if you keep moving towards it.

Conference Reports for NATAP
49th ICAAC
San Francisco, CA
September 12-15, 2009
Pharmacokinetics and Safety of a Novel 100 mg Tablet Formulation of MPC-4326 in Subjects with HIV-1 Infection
Reported by Jues Levin
ICAAC Sept 14 2009 San Francisco
J. Lalezari1, G. Richmond2, M. Thompson3, C. Cohen4, G. Mather5, A. Balch5, A. Beelen5 1Quest Clinical Research, San Francisco, CA; 2Private Practice, Ft. Lauderdale, FL; 3AIDS Research Consortium, Atlanta, GA; 4CRINE, Boston, MA; 5Myriad Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT
The HIV-1 maturation inhibitor MPC- 4326 (bevirimat dimeglumine) potently inhibits infectivity by preventing protease-mediated Gag cleavage at CA-SP1. PK/PD modeling predicted an in vivo EC90 of 27 µg/mL. This study was designed to characterize the steady-state pharmacokinetics of MPC-4326 100 mg novel tablet formulation.
Eligible subjects with undetectable virus were randomized to MPC-4326 200 mg BID, 300 mg QD or 400 mg QD for 15 days in addition to their HAART. PK sampling occurred on Days 1, 14, and 15. MPC-4326 was given after a high-fat breakfast on Day 15. Standard non-compartmental analysis was used to calculate pharmacokinetic parameters. Statistical evaluation of food effect was based on a comparison of the no effect boundary of 80-125% to a 90% confidence interval on ratio of geometric means Fed:Fasted for Cmax and AUC(0-tau) .
A total of 35 subjects were enrolled and 33 completed the PK assessments.The 90% CI for all Cmax and AUC ratios fell within the no effect boundary. There was one SAE (hip fracture) unrelated to study medication. The most common AEs were diarrhea (31.4%), abdominal cramping, headache and nausea (8.6% each).
The MPC-4326 novel 100 mg tablet formulation was well tolerated and BID dosing maintained Cmin above the estimated EC90 . Food had minimal effect on MPC-4326 exposure at steady-state whilst delaying Tmax 3-4 hrs.
Characterize the pharmacokinetics of MPC-4326 100 mg tablets administered for 15 days in HIV infected subjects
-To evaluate the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of MPC-4326 100 mg tablets
-To assess the safety and tolerability of a 100 mg tablet formulation of MPC-4326
Open-label, randomized, parallel group study
Oral doses of MPC-4326 taken as 100 mg tablets 200 mg BID, 300 mg QD or 400 mg QD
Study medication taken fasted days 1-14; fed high fat meal prior to dosing on day 15

The Kriegsmarine was officially instituted in May 1935 following Adolf Hitler's decree that Germany maintain a National Armed Forces (Wehrmacht) for the defense of German interests. Prior to this time, German naval forces were under the control of the Reichsmarine which oversaw all naval units including those on the sea and on the land.
During World War II, German naval personnel served within a variety of units including those involved with naval sea operations, land based marine and artillery, and administrative and security. The Kriegsmarine maintained a large number of land based formations of which many were required to wear standard combat helmets as part of issued equipment.
A number of these units fought on the ground during key battles throughout the war. During the crucial battles on the Western Front German Naval personnel were often organized into ad hoc units that served as replacement battalions for line infantry. Kriegsmarine units also fought in Russia where they operated along the waterways that included the Baltic and Crimea.
At the onset, Kriegsmarine troops wore World War I model helmets until enough equipment was produced to transition to the newer M1935 model helmet. Helmets supplied to the Kriegsmarine were authorized through the same source as that of the German Army (Heer) and Air Force (Luftwaffe). Because the Kriegsmarine fielded a smaller fighting force (approximately 50,000 men in 1939), far fewer helmets were needed overall. As the German Navy grew, more than 1.5 million men would eventually see service with the Kriegsmarine between 1939 and 1945.
German naval helmets are characterized by a golden eagle insignia (Wehrmachtsadler) worn on the left side of the helmet. Save for the golden color, the decal is nearly identical to that used on German Army helmets. Like other branches of the Wehrmacht, the Kriegsmarine developed and changed helmet coloring and decal configurations throughout World War II. Those changes followed closely all the regulations typically issued by the German Army.
All helmet models were used in the German Navy including the M1935, M1940, and M1942 patterns. During the early years of the Kriegsmarine World War I model M1917 and M1918 helmets were also worn. Of all the service arms within the Wehrmacht, it appears as though the German Navy was one of the few groups who were successful in withdrawing most if not all of the World War I era helmets from active service prior to the advent of the Second World War. This is verified by not only wartime documents, but also period photographs. Throughout the war, many helmets utilized by the German Navy were worn without any form of insignia. In fact, naval helmets are considered by some modern collectors as the rarest of all helmets even when compared to elite units and those of the Waffen-SS.

Russian Anna Chakvetadze continued her winning form to sweep aside Slovenia's Katarina Srebotnik 7-5, 6-2 at the Linz Open on Tuesday.
Eighth seed Francesca Schiavone of Italy was not as fortunate as she was upset 5-7, 6-1, 6-3 by Russia's Vera Zvonareva.
Chakvetadze, playing her first match since lifting the Kremlin Cup title nine days ago, needed patience to come out top in a baseline battle against Srebotnik.
After four consecutive breaks in the middle of the first set, Chakvetadze broke to love to lead 6-5 and served out the set.
She then finished strongly in the second, breaking for 3-2 and again for a 5-2 lead before serving out the match.
She hurled her racket to the ground when she was broken for 4-3 in the first set and was handed a warning for racket abuse when she smashed it after losing the set.
She showed better composure in the second and third sets, using her powerful forehand to good effect while Schiavone helped her with an endless succession of unforced errors.
Polish qualifier Agnieszka Radwanska defeated struggling German Anna-Lena Groenefeld 6-4, 7-5, and in a clash between two former champions, Mary Pierce of France overcame Japan's Ai Sugiyama 7-6, 7-6.

Do you know of an attractive shade loving climber that's not too fast growing for a NE facing house wall?

Yes - Pileostegia viburnoides, or else Hydrangea petiolaris. The first one is evergreen, and a slow grower, the second is deciduous. Both have white flowers. There is also an evergreen climbing Hydrangea - but its name escapes me!

Boys Are Easy
Reviewed by
on 2006-04-04
: Pretty good
"Boys Are Easy"... but these girls certainly aren't ! After the terrific opening fight scene (the sort of stuff for which Brigitte is justly famous), things vary from so-so to just plain cruel to very funny. The wackiness often crosses the line into cruelty. Example : ChingMy pretends to be a hooker who was raped by an elder relative, identifies her kindly uncle as that relative to her intending boyfriend (Dior Cheng), who promptly beats the crap out of him. But at other times, the violent scenes are truly funny, e.g. Brigitte Lin beating up Tony Leung before bedding him. Brigitte and Tony are the wildest, the funniest and the most watchable couple. Tony plays a similar part in the appalling Rose_Rose_I_Love_You, but is vastly more effective here, and pulls out some great comic turns - for instance, the "Bo-ling" musical number with Yuen King-Tan, and a hilarious take on Bruce Lee.
In part, this movie could be subtitled "Carry On Triads", with the Triad Olympics (the starting pistol is a machine-gun !), sweet Maggie Cheung posing as Vietnam Rose and intimidating Jacky Cheung's boss, and the wildly funny and exciting final fight scene.
ChingMy doesn't have much to do but look cute and sweet (but who's complaining ?), Brigitte actually shows off her gorgeous looks some of the time, and Maggie is as charming as ever.
In summary : After the spectacular opening, it takes a while to warm up. The first half has many scenes when you're not sure whether to wince or chuckle. The second half is very funny, sometimes touching, and even warm and romantic in places.
OVERALL : Not one of Wong Jing's masterpieces, but pretty good.

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates on Monday outlined the most sweeping changes in military spending priorities in decades, proposing the elimination of a long list of big-ticket programs to save billions of dollars and swing the Pentagon's emphasis from conventional conflicts to irregular warfare.
If Congress goes along, the cuts could spell the end for many of the military's best-known weapons programs, including much of the Army's Future Combat Systems, the Air Force's F-22 fighter, the next generation of Navy destroyers and the C-17 cargo plane, which is built in Long Beach. A new fleet of presidential helicopters also would be dropped under the plan.
At the same time, Gates said he wanted to put more money into intelligence gathering and surveillance, as well as into personnel growth in the military services, which he said were at risk of "hollowing" because of tight staffing. He also would pump new spending into medical and psychological treatment.
Gates wants to spend $2 billion more in coming years on surveillance aircraft, including a big increase for armed and unmanned Predator and Reaper drones.

The description of Contact AFM
In contact AFM, the tip is in perpetual contact with the sample. The tip is attached to the end of a cantilever with a low spring constant, lower than the effective spring constant holding the atoms of most solid samples together.
As the scanner gently traces the tip across the sample (or the sample under the tip), the contact force causes the cantilever to bend and the Z-feedback loop works to maintain a constant cantilever deflection.

Summer is really heating up! But instead of taking it off, Im covering it up!
Get the deets after the jump!
This weekend my good friend threw a surprise 60th birthday party for her mom and I had the pleasure of serving as bartender. ( I sort of have a reputation as the resident bartender among my crew lol) I had to look the part pulling of sexy and sophisticated but appropriate for the older crowd if you know what I mean. So despite the heat, I had to cover up and focus on my favorite asset : My Back!
This Summer Ive been all about back cleave lol. I find myself sexiest when Im completely covered with just my back and arms starring in the show. I don't know if its because Ive been hitting the gym or what but it puts just a little pep in my step when I'm serving sexy back realness lol
The look is completely thrifted ( of course) and probably cost me a whopping total of $15!
Man, I swear not to toot my own horn but I even amaze myself sometime at how fabulous I look for less lol
So what do you think?
Do you gals have a favorite asset to show off this summer? Let me know in the comments!
Body Suit: Thrifted | Palazzo Pants: Estate Sale | Sunnies: H&M (Gifted) | Box Purse: Zara (gifted) Shoes: Jessica Simpson (old)

Is Bob McNair really going to make Gary Kubiak coach one final game? What purpose would that serve?
There's nothing else to be learned, not after another embarrassing loss, this one a 24-23 collapse against Tim Tebow and the Broncos on Sunday afternoon.
It's painful to watch Kubiak attempt to answer questions after a day like this one. How do you explain throwing away a 17-0 lead? How do you defend giving the NFL's leading rusher, Arian Foster, five carries in the second half? How do you think of anything to say when your offense fails to score a touchdown in its final six possessions against one of the NFL's worst defenses?
In a season when the Texans have stacked one embarrassment on top of another, this may not have been the low point, but it was pretty close. The Broncos have an interim coach (Eric Studesville) and a quarterback (guess who?) making his second NFL start.
And the Broncos (4-11) are still one of three AFC teams with a worse record than the Texans (5-10).
— Read the full story at chron.com.
To Kubiak's credit, he didn't even try to mount a defense. He seems to know where this is heading, and he's handling it with grace. These Texans are his Texans. They are his players and his coaches. General manager Rick Smith is his guy too.
In five seasons, Kubiak and Smith are 36-43. They've had one winning season and zero playoff appearances. There's no way to argue either of them should keep their jobs.
Why wait? Why not change the conversation? McNair should cut the cord with Kubiak and Smith this morning, then spend the rest of his day tracking down Bill Cowher.
Let's not make this thing complicated. Cowher is an easy answer. He brings instant credibility to a franchise that could use some.
If the Texans had to be inexcusably lousy in any season, it's McNair's good fortune that it's in this one when one of the NFL's best coaches is tanned, rested and ready.
If McNair waits, he risks the Dolphins or Giants getting to Cowher's door first. Would waiting one more week to approach him be worth that risk?
McNair should give him the keys to the operation and get out of his way. Cower can hire a staff, set up a personnel department and begin to get the Texans headed in another direction.
Some have argued that the likelihood of a March lockout is a reason to keep Kubiak. The thinking is that a new coach may only have a couple of weeks to install his system and prepare the team.
This is silly talk. If Cowher had just two weeks to install his system, so be it. I'd rather have two weeks of Cowher preparing a team than nine months of almost anyone else.

Skip to comments.Deadly Capitol Mayhem: Why Did Miriam Carey Travel From Connecticut to D.C.?
Posted on 10/03/2013 9:33:30 PM PDT by IChing
Wild speculation abounds regarding todays bizarre and fatal encounter today between various federal police agencies and a 34-year-old dental hygienist from Stamford, Connecticut, who beginning at 2:14 p.m. was first involved in some kind of confrontation at one of the White House gates.
With her infant daughter inside her black Infiniti luxury sports coupe, the driver, an attractive, pleasant-looking (based on her Facebook photos published by various news outlets, and a photo found on her employers website) African-American woman by the name of Miriam Carey, ran down a U.S. Secret Service officer with the car as she abruptly turned the car around after pulling up to the gate, then crashed away from the scene, jeopardizing the lives of numerous responding police and others as she raced at high speed toward Capitol Hill.
Even though police opened fire on her when she again crashed away from being momentarily boxed in by police as she neared The Hill, Carey eventually made it as far as the Hart senate office building adjacent to the Capitol, where her vehicle finally came to a stop by some concrete barricades after police opened fire a second time, killing her.
Fortunately, it is being reported by major news outlets that Careys daughter, estimated at between one and two years old, is okay. Conflicting reports are pouring in as to whether the child was injured in the melee or not, however all reports concur in saying that she is now safe and in protective custody, having been extricated from the car and carried away by police.
Much of the insane, violent chase was captured on video by a nearby TV crew, and was broadcast across news networks soon after the whole incident came to a close.
Like a scene out of a Hollywood action movie, part of the drama unfolded on camerareplete with police in vehicles and on foot closing in around the suspects briefly motionless car near the Capitol, seeming to trap her. Carey then suddenly crashed into a police cruiser in reverse, then gunned her coupe toward, then away from, the numerous officers who had drawn and pointed their weapons at her as they surrounded her car on foot, ordering her to desist and surrender. She defied them and almost ran officers over as she sped off, followed immediately by an audible barrage of police gunfire.
Whether any of those officers who had surrounded Careys car were able to see that there was a small child inside the car is, at this point, still an open question. If so, controversy is heaped on to what would otherwise be considered a clear-cut, justified use of deadly force situation.
A car can itself be considered a deadly weapon, and when an officers or anyone elses life is threatened by someone behind the wheel, stopping the driver with gunfire, if realistically possible, is warranted. However, if attempting to do so causes a greater risk to the lives of innocents, reasonable officers should make that much more attempt to otherwise simply evade the threat, while minimizing the likelihood of grave harm to bystanders, hostages, and so on.
Secret Service and Capitol Police chiefs and spokespeople are being fairly tight-lipped about details of the incident, despite a couple of very short press conferences having been held this afternoon and evening. They set a somewhat understandably defensive tone, saying that their officers acted properly, given the unknown exact motives of the suspect, and the unknown extent of the threat posed by the rapidly unfolding situation at a time of heightened political tension in D.C. over the government shutdown deadlock, and lingering conditions related to terrorism threats and recent mass-shootings.
So in the absence of reliable and specific information, the speculations spin wildly on internet forums, while more serious theories emerge from bits and pieces of information trickling in from Careys home state.
What was Miriam Carey doing in Washington, D.C., anyway? Why did she come all the hundreds of miles from Connecticut?
Ordinary tourists dont normally drive their cars up to the heavily fortified and staffed White House security gates, with small children inside, and then suddenly get into confrontations with the Secret Service, crashing over barriers and careening away as they bounce an officer off their cars hood and onto the pavement, as witnesses are reported (by the Washington Post) to have described the scene. Witnesses are also reported to have described the guard who challenged Carey to be highly agitated and loud in his exhortations and warnings as she failed to stop or heed him: The Secret Service guy was having a cow, a man named B. J. Campbell said, yelling at her and banging on the car.
The New York Daily News obtained a statement from Careys former employer, Dentist Brian Evans, who said that Carey fell down some stairs and had a pretty significant head injury during the two years she worked for him. Otherwise, Evans said, despite some media reports of Carey having mental issues, when he let her go from her job last year, it was nothing related to any mental problems that we were in tune to. Evans said that there was never insubordination per se or anything like that, but she tended to go against the grain a bit. It was revealed by Evans that Carey discovered she was pregnant while hospitalized after her head injury, and that she seemed happy.
Some of the theories being batted around on internet forums are outlandishly eerie. People have remarked that today, Oct. 3rd 2013, is the twentieth anniversary of the infamous Blackhawk Down military misadventure involving U.S. forces in Mogadishu, Somalia, and that the Miriam Carey is rumored to be of Somali descent.
Simultaneously, it has been noted that not too long ago Carey lived in Brooklyn, New York, the same place Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis was born and raisedand that they were both 34 years old.
Other sketchy theories have to do with the confrontation at the White House gate, and whetherin the utter lack of any other compelling information to go onthe incident stemmed from some kind of domestic/paternity issue concerning Carey and a Secret Service officer, or some distress and derangement on the part of Carey regarding federal benefits, the government shutdown, and/or the botched, pricey, partial-birth mis-launch of Obamacare, and so on.
Never ones to miss an opportunity to grotesquely pounce on a crisis, at least two democrats in the House of Representatives (one of them the notorious Sheila Jackson Lee) have sought to exploit the incident in debate on the House floor, saying that it was directly the result of the opposing partys stand regarding funding of Obamacare, and the ongoing deadlock over government operations.
I expect that well know more about Miriam Carey in short order, and why she drove herself to her untimely end in the heart of our Capitol. Until we do, things remain very tense here, for reasons beyond her mysterious, deadly road rage.
I am sad, too. Dead mother, orphaned little one, now in foster care. And, we will never know why.
The world I once knew no longer exists. Look up Matthew Arnold's poem, Dover Beach. Just an excerpt below.
Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.
This is where we are.
You learn something new at FR every day. I was amazed at how much dental hygienists make too.
Maybe someone in the secret service is the daddy? Remember when a bunch of them got in trouble with some hookers down in Brazil, or wherever? I think they hired a bunch of new ones after that.
He then pulled out his badge shieldy thing and told me he was "watching a house down the block over a drug issue". I asked him if would like a cup of coffee while he waited? He said "Sure". So I went inside and got him a travel mug of coffee. He then told me that there were some people down the street in a rented house who had no business being in a place where nice people live, like us who want to know what's going on in their neighborhood and treat people nicely.
Now in today's nutty world, just think about how badly that encounter could have gone down? Think about the version of the story that would make it on the news if he was some jack-booted power crazy dumass?
It's a matter of supply and demand. I used to be a dental hygienist and was making $40/hr back in the seventies in Phila, while hygienists in VT were making $40/day. They make $60/hr where I live now. Most don't work a $40 hour week, though.
I think it more likely tat Michelle id the father.
Grover Al Norquist is a wolf in sheeps clothing.
You don't get babies out of a mans butt!
Sorry I don't know how that happened.
I think twice about initiating confrontations like that myself. I would more likely keep an eye on someone like that and gather info like lic. #, model make, personal description. Note his actions and note times. Check round chambering in my arms. Maybe call the Sheriff and give a head's up if the situation really seemed queer. But I live in a rural area and don't see things like that very often. A stakeout in a big SUV would stick out like a polar bear in the desert.
Seems to be a common speculation today. Why else would this woman drive 250 miles to the Capitol with her baby in the back seat?
Had to be some sort of powerful inducement. Until we get more data, it's hard not to come to the conclusion that this had something to do with the child's father, who may be a gov't employee in that area.
Thank you. I guess I don't know wage rates very well.
I can't imagine! And I don't think I want to. LOL
Interestingly I saw mine today and she drives a 7-series BMW.
My father told me to go into health care. Seriously. But did I listen?
CO, Colorado?
I suspect they do.
Watch the video. LE had surrounded the vehicle looking in every window from close range. If the child was in a baby seat they surely would have seen it. Perhaps the child was hidden from view.
She sure doesn't seem to be hesitant in her driving.
Or lost.
Of course I have been watching the video repeatedly all day. My 30 years in LE and security operations is primarily what prompted me to add the part about how the possible or even likely knowledge that a child was within would or should have caused the cops to hold their fire.
If the child was hidden from view, why? It adds to my mystification as to why she came to D.C....?

This post is dedicated to women who have never given birth, but are still mothers in the fullest sense of the word.
The focus of Mother's Day in the U.S. is on women who have biological or adopted children. I've read numerous articles regarding how painful this day can be for women who have never had their own children.
It's different in Nigeria.
First of all, Mother's Day is not really celebrated in Nigeria. A few churches might do something for mothers and a few people might send greetings, but basically, it's a U.S. holiday that is on the periphery here.
But I would say motherhood is honored in Nigeria on a daily basis.
Giving birth to children in certainly valued in Nigeria, but the concept of motherhood is so much broader than that.
Upon reaching a certain age, nearly every woman is looked upon as a mother, regardless of whether or not she has given birth to children. She becomes a mother to everyone around her. She will be addressed as "Mum/Mom", "Mummy/Mommy" as a sign of respect.
The age at which this happens varies depending on the circumstances. It could happen as young as the 30s; it will definitely happen within the 40s and continue for the rest of her life. Younger relatives, younger colleagues and even a total stranger could use "Mommy" when addressing an older woman.
And sometimes age is not really part of the equation--the term of endearment simply comes from the relationship that exists. For example, a woman who is at least 10 years older than me affectionately refers to me as "my mommy" every time she sees me. And I refer to her as "my kaka" (grandmother) every time I see her. She's just expressing our relationship over the years through the sewing program for women with HIV/AIDS. The work has been a lifeline for her in terms of having something to do and being able to earn some money to take care of her family.
Who is a mother in the Nigerian context? She is a woman who opens her arms to care for people--her offspring, her relatives, people in her community, people in the city, strangers. She has a mother's heart, caring for people in need, seeing unspoken needs, providing food to fill a belly at just the right time, speaking a word of encouragement or admonishment.
Years ago, when I was a young bride and still learning to navigate Nigerian culture, I was shopping in the main market when a screaming toddler came running towards me and locked his little arms around my knees. His angry mother was right behind him so I pried him off and handed him back to her.
Later that night I asked my Nigerian husband how I was supposed to handle that situation. He told me the child was running to me for protection, and culturally it would have been appropriate for me to beg the mother to calm down and not be angry at the child.
I have never forgotten that. I was coming from a background where we just don't get involved in another family's issues--unless invited. But in this case, I was supposed to act as a mother to that little boy, and I failed.
Motherhood--it's a high and noble calling. And I'm grateful to be living it out in its broad context in Nigeria.

Street food restaurant on a budget
You don't need to splash the cash to start a thriving street-food pop up. Miranda Roberts and Stefan Buschbeck are a living success story starting mobile stall Shrimpy back in 2013, with a mere 1000Pounds in the bank. In fact, the partners advocate to never splash the cash and to stick within your businesses means.
We all have big dreams, and are vulnerable to becoming a tad over-excited as soon as the money starts rolling in... hold fire, plan and take it day by day. Careful budgeting was at the core to the success of Shrimpy, by which 'purchase only necessities' became their bible. This came with extensive research and communicating with other trade-stand holders who had plenty of years' experience within the industry.
There are a whole array of questions to ask yourself with every purchase decision. For example, the cost, the location, additional purchases. Once you've made a bad investment, you'll learn pretty quickly! The couple noted the countless times that they know of trade stand holders purchasing equipment and never using half of it. Basically, washing their profits down the drain.
There is sense in the methodology. Since day one the couple planned and questioned every investment, and three years down the line their lean start up approach is paying off. They say there are three things to always ask yourself when running a business...
After all your business outgoings, do you have anything to spare?
Do you actually need it? Whether it be a new location, new equipment or new staff.
How much longer can you affectively run without buying new equipment?
Live within reason of your business. No hero lives by taking on more debt or higher rents than they can afford. Stop and think before you take the plunge. Research is everything. At the start the couple noted they were vulnerable to taking on more than they could chew. They highlight the need to Look up the benefits of the trade show, the target audience and align it with your business budget to gage the profitability. Remember the show may be beneficial for networking purposes.
That cliché saying that everyone has got to start somewhere- but it's true! Take it slow, get used to the industry, and most importantly learn from your experiences.

Elder Larry S. Kacher Shares His Road to Conversion
Contributed By By Marianne Holman Prescott, Church News staff writer
Article Highlights
- Elder Kacher's sensitivity to the Spirit led him across the globe and back again to find the gospel.
- He was called in the April 2014 general conference to the Second Quorum of the Seventy.
"I understood the importance from an early time, from the day I was baptized, of being exactly obedient, and that has always been a great blessing in my life" —Elder Larry S. Kacher

After many promptings during his early adult years, Elder Larry S. Kacher began to recognize a greater power guiding him in his life. At age 19, his sensitivity to the Spirit led him across the globe and back again to find the gospel of Jesus Christ—a decision that has changed his life and made all the difference.
"We can know things and feel things, divine guidance from above that is a special tie to our Heavenly Father, who knows all things and sees all things and at the right time can direct us," said Elder Kacher, who was sustained to the Second Quorum of the Seventy on April 5. "He won't tell us everything, but like the Brother of Jared when He didn't tell him everything to do with the boats, He told him enough to make his decision."
Born February 12, 1952, to Albert and Elaine Kacher, the second oldest of five children, he grew up in Bloomington, Minnesota, with his three sisters and one brother.
With no immediate school plans after high school, he decided to move to Austria, a place that would allow him to spend time doing one of his favorite hobbies—snow skiing. After being in Europe for a good part of a year, he suddenly had a feeling it was time to "get up and leave." So he packed his things, took a train to the airport, and headed for home. On his way back to Minnesota, he stopped in Florida to spend some time with his grandparents.
"I was there for a bit, and then I had the same kind of feeling that I should get up and leave," Elder Kacher remembers. "So I left after being there for a little over a month and headed back to Minnesota."
He returned to his home state but after only a few days felt again like he needed to leave. This time, he had no idea where he needed to go.
A close childhood friend had decided to move to Utah, where his sister—who had recently joined the Church—lived. Elder Kacher decided he would join his friend and headed to the Rocky Mountains to ski.
"I had been in Austria skiing and having a good time, and the next thing I knew, I found myself in Provo, Utah, living with my friend in an apartment with returned missionaries," he said. "They were very nice people but very different from what I was at the time. I went to church with them a time or two, and then it was time to go back home."
He returned home for the summer to work and save money and then returned to Provo in the fall—this time with two more friends. While there, he enrolled at Brigham Young University.
"We decided that if we were going to be there we would follow the rules and that we would participate," he said. He and his friends joined a family home evening group.
Although he was happy to enroll in school, he and a friend decided that if one of them decided to join the Church, the other would take them back to Minnesota. It wasn't too long after that both of the friends met with the missionaries, and after being taught and reading the Book of Mormon, they decided to be baptized.
"I was not a great scholar … but was very sensitive to the Spirit," he said. "I began to recognize the Spirit that had guided me from Austria to Florida to Minnesota to Utah and began to understand what had happened in my life. As the missionaries taught us, I felt it was true. I felt that what they were saying was true. It was just that quiet feeling."
After he was baptized on January 8, 1972, Elder Kacher—and his two friends who were also baptized—decided to serve missions. Elder Kacher was called to the Tahiti Papeete Mission, where he served from 1973 to 1975. It was there that he learned the importance of hard work and obedience.
"I understood the importance from an early time, from the day I was baptized, of being exactly obedient, and that has always been a great blessing in my life," he said.
After his mission he returned to BYU, where he earned a bachelor's degree in psychology; later, he earned a master's degree in organizational behavior. It was during that time that a friend from before his mission introduced him to Pauline Miller, a modern dance major.
Although their backgrounds were very different—she grew up on a farm in small-town Venice, Utah, and had pioneer ancestors, while he grew up in Minnesota and is a convert—the two had the gospel in common and were married in the Manti Utah Temple on October 29, 1976. They are the parents of six children and have 11 grandchildren.
Over the years the Kacher family's "home base" has been Eden Prairie, Minnesota, but Elder Kacher's consulting career has included job opportunities in countries around the world. With those jobs also came opportunities in the Church, and no matter where the family has lived, Elder Kacher has been involved in Church service.
Whether it was serving as a branch president while raising their young growing family as they lived in Brussels, Belgium, for a few years; serving as mission president in the Switzerland Geneva Mission from 2000 to 2003; or later, in 2009, taking a job in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, where he served as the first Area Seventy in that region of the world, Elder and Sister Kacher have welcomed the moves and recognized the direction of the Spirit guiding their decisions.
"An important thing in our years together is really feeling like the Lord has directed our paths," Sister Kacher said. "That's been such an important thing for us to just always pray that Heavenly Father will direct our paths, and He really has. I wouldn't have had the imagination to come up with the things that we've done and experienced and the different places the Lord has directed us to."
Elder Kacher looks to his new calling in the Seventy as an opportunity to do what he encouraged his missionaries to do: "Work hard and work smart."
"Because with God, we can do anything," he said.
Family: Born February 12, 1952, in Mankato, Minnesota, to Albert and Elaine Walsh Kacher; married Pauline Miller on October 29, 1976, in the Manti Utah Temple; six children: Amelia (Tyler Pearce), Benjamin (Bonnie), Ryan (Abby), Joshua, Zachary (Kelsey), Nellie; 11 grandchildren.
Education: Received a bachelor of science degree in psychology in 1976 from Brigham Young University and a master's degree in organizational behavior in 1978, also from BYU.
Employment: Director of Human Resource Development at Honeywell from 1978 to 1986; Kacher & Associates (consulting practice) from 1987 to 2000; principal at Wasatch Mountain Development from 2005 to the present; head of leadership and organization and development at Abu Dhabi Investment Authority from 2009 to 2013 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Academic researchers at Clark University and the Systems and Psychosocial Advances Research Center at the UMass Medical School along with the Worcester Division of Public Health (WDPH) are interviewing consumers and providers of mental health services and members of the community and social service agencies more broadly. This study is funded by the Fairlawn Foundation.
The mental health needs assessment will focus on the City of Worcester and identify gaps and challenges for both consumers and providers. It will also inform what specific priority populations are in need of services. Ultimately, we hope to bring the community together to work on recommended priorities and strategies for future policy change.

A recipe for baked halibut is the Food Network's Baked Halibut containing lemon, olive oil, paprika and halibut. Cut 1 pound of fresh halibut into two pieces, and place them in a dish with the juice from 1 fresh lemon for 20 to 30 minutes. Rub 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of paprika over the fish, and bake it at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 15 minutes
Make Roasted Halibut with Lemons, Olive and Rosemary, another recipe for baked halibut, by rubbing 2 8-ounce halibut fillets with 1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil, kosher salt to taste and ground chile pepper to taste. Place the fish on a baking sheet, and top each fillet with 1 rosemary branch, 1/2 lemon cut into slices and 1/4 cup of sliced and pitted calamata olives. Drizzle everything with 1/2 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil, and bake the fish at 450 F for 10 minutes with a minute or two underneath the broiler to aid in browning the lemon slices and fish.
Another recipe suggests making a zucchini, onion and garlic mixture and spreading that on top of the fish while it bakes. To make the mixture, sauté 1 cup of diced zucchini, 1/2 cup of minced onion and 1 minced garlic clove in 1 teaspoon of olive oil for five minutes, and then combine it with 2 cups of diced fresh tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. After topping the halibut steaks with the mixture and 1/3 cup of crumbled feta cheese, bake them at 450 F for 15 minutes.

The Tennessee Supreme Court ruled today that courts must consider all nine statutory factors, as well as any other relevant facts, when deciding whether terminating parental rights is in a child's best interests. The Supreme Court explained that requiring courts to consider all relevant facts and circumstances ensures each case receives individualized consideration before fundamental parental rights are terminated.
In the case before the Supreme Court, the Tennessee Department of Children's Services (DCS) removed three children, Gabriella, Jude, and Chance, from their parents' custody in March 2012, and placed them in foster care after the youngest child, six-month-old Chance, was diagnosed with severe malnourishment, having gained only eight ounces since birth. The parents already had a long history with DCS and a child protective agency in Georgia, with a Georgia court having previously terminated their parental rights to two older children because of drug abuse and domestic violence.
After removing the children, DCS and the parents entered into a written agreement called a permanency plan, which required the parents to complete drug treatment and submit to drug tests, among other things, in order to regain custody of the children. The case was under the supervision of the juvenile court. For a few months, the parents failed to meet their obligations under the permanency plan. But, in July 2012, Mother separated herself from Father and began meeting her obligations under the permanency plan, including passing drug tests and completing drug treatment, obtaining employment, creating a family support structure, securing housing, and bonding with the children during visits. As Mother's compliance continued, DCS increased her visitation and planned to return the children to her custody, beginning with a trial home visit in July 2013. The foster parents disagreed with DCS's decision, and on the day Mother's trial home visit was to begin, they filed a petition in circuit court, not in the juvenile court where the case had been pending since the children were removed in 2012. Foster parents asked the circuit court to terminate Mother's parental rights and allow them to adopt the children. By early October 2013, the juvenile court ordered DCS to place the children with Mother on a trial basis. By the time of the circuit court trial in 2015 on the foster parents' termination and adoption petition, the children had been living with Mother for about two years and Father had voluntarily surrendered his parental rights.
After hearing the proof presented, the circuit court ruled that the foster parents had proven severe abuse or neglect by the higher clear and convincing evidence standard applicable in parental termination cases. But the circuit court ruled that the foster parents had failed to prove the second requirement necessary to terminate parental rights under Tennessee law, specifically, that termination of parental rights is in the best interests of the children. In a two-to-one decision, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's determination on this point and held that foster parents had proven by clear and convincing evidence that termination of Mother's parental rights would be in the children's best interests.
The Supreme Court granted Mother permission to appeal, reversed the Court of Appeals, and reinstated the trial court's judgment. The Supreme Court emphasized that Mother had complied with the permanency plan, had not tested positive for drugs since June 2012, had obtained stable employment and housing, and had cared for the children for two years at the time of trial without incident. The Supreme Court pointed to proof showing that the children had thrived in Mother's care and stated that they want to live with Mother and to expert testimony that removing the children from Mother's care would be a loss for them. The Supreme Court said that the Court of Appeals did not err by considering Mother's history of drug abuse and poor parenting and the risk that she will return to those behaviors once DCS is no longer involved. But, the Supreme Court explained these factors do not amount to clear and convincing evidence that termination of Mother's parental rights would be in the children's best interests, when evaluated along with the other factors the law requires courts to consider and all the proof in this case. The Supreme Court commended the foster parents for their genuine concern and affection for the children, but emphasized that fundamental parental rights may not be terminated unless clear and convincing evidence shows that termination is in the best interests of the children.

Hi Everyone! It's been a while since I've had one of my own posts up, as things have been pretty busy offline. It's time to get back into sharing my personal finance experiences with everyone, and getting some good discussion going.
Along those lines, I'd like to share what I consider the high level fundamentals of building wealth. After reading though this, it would be great to hear your thoughts on the topic as well.
First of all, before even getting into the financial part of it, I consider wealth to be just a component of the bigger picture. To me, there is a 3-pronged system of health, wealth, and relationships that feed off one another. I wrote about this before in a post on the Role of Money in Life. To the extent that we are strong in one of the 3 areas, it will put us in position to be stronger in the other 2 areas.
Ultimately, the idea is to strengthen each of these to help us live the life we really want to!
Sound interesting? Thoughts? I'm curious what all of you think of this frameowrk
Okay, now let's talk about building wealth.
At a high level, my life experience has taught me that there are some key aspects to building wealth and position ourselves for financial success:
Grow and Protect Your Earning Power
Basically, the idea is that before you can even start to save money, you have to make it. This is an area where many people, I think, get a bit sidetracked – particularly those of us really into personal finance. It can be a great feeling to save money, but if we're spending an inordinate amount of our mind space to saving strategies, we might be shortchanging our investment in our earning capacity. We can do both!
Growing and protecting earning power involves getting the right education, having short and long-term goals, keeping your head in the game every day, persevering and persisting, networking, and always learning. All the while, working hard and smart.
Live Within Your Means and Prioritize Savings
Look, it's great to want things. Life is to enjoy! That being said, focusing on taking care of needs first and controlling our impulses for things we simply want and being selective about it, is the way to go here.
I suggest setting a target percentage to save, and simply save and invest that. Then, live on the rest. Think savings first, lifestyle second.
Of course, not everyone can do this at the drop of a hat. Some can, hopefully many, but some are in positions where they have debt or other issues. Understandable. But ultimately, the bigger picture goal here is to simply think of saving first. At the end of the day, we're not just working for ourselves today, but also for the future version of us years down the line who won't be able to work.
Remember that You Can't Work Forever
This is one that comes to mind because I've heard enough people say they'll be working until they're in old age. Well, unfortunately I think that's a long-term vision seen though rose-colored glasses. People can increasingly develop health issues as they age, and also unfortunately face ageism. While we can and should keep a positive attitude, it's prudent to acknowledge the forces that we'll be facing as we age and plan ahead for the reality that you can't work forever.
Ultimately, it boils down to this: in advance of the day when you can't work anymore, have earning power diminished, or are not really valued as much in the marketplace, plan for it. This probably goes back to the part about saving – do it early in life, and do a lot of it!
Strategically Manage Your Investments
As we know, throwing money under the mattress won't help us grow wealth efficiently. Rate of return matters, and we need to generate a rate of return after taxes that exceeds inflation in order to grow.
Along those lines, it's important to have a balanced portfolio that has an asset allocation that's appropriate for your age, situation, and goals. While I'm not a professional doing this for a living, you could see one or do your own research to determine the right approach for you.
Be Aware of Risks in Life
Life rarely takes a straight line, linear path to where we think it will go. There are often detours along the way, and some of them could be fantastic!
Others, not so much. For example, there are risks of accidents, health problems, divorce, job loss, bad housing markets, and so on. Ultimately, it's important to have our head in the game and think rationally versus emotionally in situations where our financial lives are at stake. In reality, that can be every day.
My Questions for You:
What do you think of these fundamentals?
Are there any areas you're in which you're particularly strong (or weak)?
