Ifield FC were formed as Sun Wanderers in 1949 and played in the Redhill League. They first placed their Reserves in the recently formed Crawley & District Football League (CDFL) in 1957 and transferred the First XI in 1966. During the 1970s it became obvious that in order for Ifield FC to progress they would need to improve their facilities and have access to their own clubhouse. A search began for a suitable location and the old Crawley Tennis Club was purchased with a view to erecting it on either Ifield Green or Rusper Road playing fields. At the same time Ifield CC were looking to improve the Cricket Club Pavilion on Ifield Green and discussions took place between the Cricket and Football clubs with a view to sharing facilities and resources. During 1983 Ifield Sports Club was formed as an umbrella organisation for the two clubs and work started on rebuilding the clubhouse. In 1984 Ifield FC took the bold step of applying for and being accepted into the SCFL although membership of the CDFL was still maintained. At one point in their history they ran 5 senior sides and had over 100 players signed on. Since 1971 records of players appearances have been maintained and it is estimated that during this period over 1500 players have signed on and played for the club providing sporting facilities and opportunities for many youngsters in Ifield and Crawley. Many players have remained loyal to the club with over 10 players having played over 300 games and 2 over 500 games.
The club was formed in 1954 following the migration of Edward High Vacuum Ltd to Crawley New Town and the development of the Sports and Social Club ground and facilities at London Road. Their Reserves joined the CDFL in 1957 and their First XI in 1960. In 1991, Edwards Sports and Social Club moved to their present location at Ifield Green following their relocation from London Road. Edwards Sports FC gained promotion to the SCFL in 1993 but was relegated after two seasons. The football team continued to play in the CDFL until their merger with Ifield FC at the end of the 2002/03 season with their very successful under 18 youth team forming one of the teams in the newly merged club.
Ifield FC finished in the top two promotion places in SCFL Division 3 on three separate occasions following their election into the League but were unable to gain promotion because of the restrictions imposed on their ground. This caused immense problems within the structure of the club, as players would leave to play in a higher standard of football, which the club were unable to provide. This had the effect of the club being successful one season and then struggling the next and having to rebuild the team.
They had the continual problem of playing on a council pitch on a public playing field that was also common land and precluded the enclosure of the venue. Further complications included the location being within a conservation area and the existence of a public Right of Way that ran across the pitch preventing the ground being temporarily enclosed on match days. This caused extreme limitations to possible development due to legislative restrictions relating to village greens, public playing fields and conservation areas.
At the end of the 2001/2002 season Ifield FC had to make a choice, whether to stay as they were and risk the prospect of being demoted into local football due to their ground limitations or to consider moving or merging with another club which would enable them to progress into Senior football. They chose the latter course and during the 2002/2003 season negotiations began on a merger with their neighbours Edwards Sports FC.
Edwards Sports FC gained promotion to the SCFL in 1993 but were relegated after two seasons. Although their facilities were of a standard to allow them to play in Division 3 of the SCFL they struggled to attract players of the required standard.
The merger of the two clubs was therefore considered to be a sensible and pragmatic way forward, which would be beneficial to both clubs, and allow the new club to progress as they wished. It was agreed to merge the two clubs at the start of the 2003/04 season.
Ifield Edwards are a progressive football club. They currently run 3 adult senior sides playing in the SCFL and CDFL.It is the intention of the clubs committee that the club will progress further and become a top performer in the Sussex County Football League. This will involve even further ground development work and eventually the erection of floodlights. This is a formidable task but one that is within the clubs grasp. Plans are currently underway to relocate the pitch towards the clubhouse, provide a hardstanding on 3 sides, new dugouts and new pitch drainage to enable the club to gain promotion into Division 2 should they finish in the top 2 this season.

Have yourselves a merry little Christmas.
I hope this midnight, tomorrow, and in the days to come, instead of thinking of the things we have lost or never got to have, let us be thankful for the family we have with us, the food on our table, and the gifts left unwrapped; the hands held, and the words said; the people in our lives, and the moments we've shared with them.
Let's celebrate the love - the pure, unconditional love that was given to us on this day all those thousand years ago. Sending out all my love to you on this very special day.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

We all have our irrational hatreds. Mine include peanuts, Andreas Vollenweider and ugly shoes. For some people, as Stanley Fish points out, Hillary Clinton leads the list. Robin Morgan has decided to hate the haters in a partly rational way, but I dislike her strident tone.
I'm proud to be a feminist. A hundred years ago, women in the United States couldn't vote, nor own property in many states. It took a lot of hard work to get us to legal equality, and that work must continue on behalf of women around the world.
I'm just not big on rancor. It poisons from within, so that we become the hate we hope to erase.
No, we can't all just get along. But can't we be "pro" our preferences and beliefs rather than "anti" those of others?

Haterade: Is It In You?

Landscape design is art on its most basic terms. As with all art there is room for interpretation. The funny things about landscape design, is that the functionality trumps the need for expression, in most cases. I was honored to design a small garden in the Fall of 2010 with an important theme. A garden with a purpose other than practicality.
The garden, planted in the Spring of 2011, honored the life of a wonderful teacher, friend, daughter and mother named Connie Johnson. I've known her all my life. The garden is at Davis school in St. Charles, IL near the second grade classroom in which she taught and under the window of the room where my mother teaches speech.
I really didn't know how to begin the garden design. I was more than stuck trying to honor someone so important to me and my family, with the added eyes of all my elementary school teachers to throw in the mix. It was probably one of the smallest areas I've worked with, but none the less I went over the details over and over, tweaking here and there.
In the end, the garden focal feature turned out to be a natural bluestone bench that allows students and teachers to pause. I have to laugh at thinking that a garden meant to be free from function probably on any given day allows parents and preschool aged children to wait for their older siblings before the final bell of the day. The Davis teachers spent time during the summer on a craft project, making stepping-stones to the bench from the sidewalk that incorporated designs that they felt reminded them of Connie. Below are two EverGreen crew workers setting the legs of the bluestone bench in cement.
The plantings were chosen to symbolize much about Connie's life. We chose Blazing Star, Salvia and Russian Sage, all purple flowers that were her favorite color. Many of the perennials that were used are butterfly attractants, which is a long-standing second grade science unit. For this we used, Asters, Butterfly weed, Monarda and Blazing Star among others. The first year of planting, the butterflies that developed through their life cycle were released into the garden. One of Connie's most notable talents was her musical gift. She began her teaching career as a music teacher for Davis School before heading into the classroom. Since she was one of my mom's best friends, my siblings and I were among the lucky few to have Connie lead our birthday party goers in a chorus of "Happy Birthday" complete with piano accompaniment. She and my father sang at my wedding. To incorporate music in the design, I undulated roses and low junipers along a lengthy section of the garden to symbolize the music on a page.
I was thankful for the donations by Midwest Groundcovers and EverGreen Landscape to make the garden possible and the host of family and friends that helped to plant and maintain the garden. The District 303 grounds crews came to the rescue during planting when the stumps of the rather large, old, crabapple wouldn't budge out of the ground.
As far as art goes, this garden gave me a chance to express my feelings for a special person in my life. An art form to honor an artistic soul. A lasting stamp to mark a spot where her life had a lot of impact, near people who feel the same way I do.
Here are a few pictures a year later…the garden is growing!

My creative muse just so happens to be my partner in life & girlfriend Paige. With her own incredible creative ventures constantly on the go, we have the unique ability to be able to create and work together quite a lot - photographing and styling various projects and dreaming up new ones.
Head over to her BLOG to see her personal take on this set of images.
Personally, these photo shoots are a constant creative challenge that has a sense of reckless abandon to them because I am creating this content with someone that both continually inspires me plus allows me a creative outlet for my niche - photography.
Whether the photo shoot is Paige's brain child or mine, I cherish the time to photograph a consistent subject matter, which in turn challenges me to create visually different images, whether through exposure, editing or concept.

Data Integration Provider Welcomes Vendors in Effort to Help Customers Easily Integrate ERP, Security and Other Data Aware Cloud Services
ATLANTA, GA – January 22, 2013
Liaison Technologies, a global provider of secure cloud-based integration and data management services and solutions, announced today the expansion of its SaaS and cloud-based Application Partner Program. Building on the strength of existing relationships with key SaaS and Cloud-based application providers, including NetSuite, MS Dynamics, and Ariba, the expanded partner program will focus on enabling partners to streamline delivery of leading B2B and data management solutions for enterprises.
While many enterprises have historically leveraged internal resources to complete integration projects, the growing complexity of these projects, exacerbated by the increasing adoption of myriad cloud services, has more enterprises, cloud-based application and SaaS providers looking to simplify and outsource the integration to a Cloud Services Brokerage (CSB) provider. As this practice becomes more commonplace, demand will rise for hybrid services such as Liaison, which are not only capable of integrating between cloud services, but between cloud services and existing on-premise systems.
"Integration is a core strength of Liaison, and our partner program combines over a decade of integration expertise with the application development and provisioning strengths that cloud-based application and SaaS vendors bring to the table," said Megan Pulliam, Vice President of Channel Sales at Liaison Technologies. "The result is best-in-class end-to-end solutions for customers and a newfound ability for enterprises to discover and shape new opportunities for their business."
In support of this expanded partner program, in November 2012 Liaison released new integration and data management solutions designed to streamline the coordination of many diverse applications, databases, and e-commerce formats commonly used in the enterprise. Electronic Commerce Server (ECS) 7.0, which includes a new cloud connector feature for simple one-click extensibility to ECS, and Delta 6.0, deliver broad extensibility and create a scalable and virtual computing infrastructure.

In the third and final part of his series, Concept 2 co-founder Peter Dreissigacker focuses on damper settings. He tells Jon Gilson of Again Faster that athletes who think they're getting the best possible workout by always using the maximum damper setting of 10 are very likely mistaken.
Some fine athletes who can row 2,000 meters on the water in six minutes prefer to use a low damper settings. Some older, deconditioned folks find a setting of 10 is right for them, but so do some accomplished weightlifters who are used to slow and forceful movement. The force-speed relationship is tied to damper setting, but power output is not. Peter demonstrates by taking Jon through a workout that achieves the same power output at a variety of damper settings.
It all leads to the ultimate question: how should you set the damper? The answer depends on how you train, and for what purpose. Many top rowers use a damper setting of 4 or 5. Individual preference can play a large role in determining the correct damper setting, but in keeping with the CrossFit philosophy of "doing the stuff you hate," Jon suggests getting out of your comfort zone.

I like how Peter looks like he is barely working and having a conversation with John while doing a ton more wattage at the end there. I would love to have that kind of technique. I noticed Peter keeps his knees very close together and John has his knees further apart; maybe there is something too it...
Well I'm off to row.

It's funny you mention that, John, because all I could think is how 'bad' Peter's form looked to me. It's obvious he's a rowing machine, he's got to be at least 6'6" and over 200lbs, but the way he rows looks nothing like the form I've been preaching and learned from the rowing certification I went to here in Calgary. I'm not trying to disparage anyone in any way here, I just found it amusing.

So, what is the relation between damper setting and calories burned, if you keep at a semi-constant, say 28 strokes/minute?

Very informative, thanks!

Does any one know how people can save this video to my computer to play on my ipod? I've tried searching but can't finding any topics covering it.
It seems that Peter really doesn't use a power box type form and starts the recovering before extending his arms? Is it just me and Aucoin seeing this?
It's funny watching Peter as he makes it looks effortless and can't still talk seemingly fine. Me=winded

Jeff, just right-click on either the Quicktime download link or the iPod/iPhone download link and then choose Save As. That should allow you to save the video on your computer.
To get it on your iPod, first add it to your iTunes library (Open iTunes, click on File > Add File to Library). Then it's a straightforward Sync from there onto your iPod.
Hope this helps

You've got good eyes. Peter definitely bends his arms early on the recovery, and you'll notice he keeps them bent on the drive as well. This is not unique to Peter; I've noticed this over and over at the CRASH-Bs and in reviewing Olympic footage.
Someone smarter than myself might be able to tell you the exact reason, although I bet it allows quicker stroke ratings by keeping the arms "shorter". Remember, Peter trains to row on water, where the handles not only clear over the knees, but by going outside the knees in a sweeping fashion. I bet Peter learned to stop extending his arms as soon as he was clear of his knees, which happens prior to full arm extension for him (and for most guys 6' plus). This shortens his arms, and lets him move the oar blades faster.
This is entirely conjecture, but it would make sense, given the 38+ SPM rating some of these crews are holding for a 2k.

It's so hard to critique form to better my own abilities as it relates strictly to an erg machine with different erg videos when a rower is accustomed to rowing on the water. Great interview Jonathan! We all appreciate it!
replied to comment from Mehdi El Amine…
Thanks Mehdi! Funny how you can look at things over and over and not see that silly and easy step! Worked like a charm:)

Hoodies have never really been my thing for some reason (I've just never been a fan), but I would love to have this awesome Pac-Man hoodie! This is perhaps the only hoodie I have ever really wanted and I am extremely tempted to buy it!
The geektastic folks over at ThinkGeek are selling this awesome Pac-Man hoodie for $49.99. That feels a tad high for me but I have never shopped for hoodie before so that could be a great price and I just don't know it. Either way, I would still pay that price just to have an awesome Pac-Man hoodie!
If you are looking for a great conversation starter for talking with gamers, this is the perfect way to do it! I find there is no easier way to start a conversation with somebody geeky than by wearing something that shows you are a geek.
Share this with any Pac-Man fans you know! Like Fanboy Fashion on Facebook too!

Glasses are the main accessories I find myself constantly thinking about (although I do have a thing for watches too!).
Linda Farrow for Luella in 08 (My all-time favourites: Swoon!):
I really dig these Alexander Wang/Linda Farrow frames; the shape is reminiscent of the cat-eye but has a sharp, futuristic edge.
Another thing I keep coming back to is 'drip' glasses. I first saw them during the A/W 08 season at Klavers van Engelen :
Next this slick aviator turned up at Back for Ann-Sofie Back. They were designed by Sheefun and were featured in a string of mags like Nylon and Dazed&Confused:

My favourite glasses (part 1)

I'll save my breath and take it with me...
Thinking about:
(1. Mason Martin Margiela X Printemps - Artisanal dress from Line 0 2. Pedro Friedberg Clock, Gilt Mahogany Hands (1960s)
3. Scott Walker 4. Scott Walker's Scott 3 6. Nadine Christensen artwork from her 'detour' exhibition in' 2007.)
I love layering sheer fabrics - so much can be done. The Maison Martin Margiela dress above was created for Printemps. It is being displayed as part of a designer series dedicated to Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. The concept and garment construction here is quite interesting:
"Alice's silhouette is a blue upside-down dress with cage sleeve, as if she walked through the mirror and her dress completely reversed. A long ball gown has been reworked, upside-down, into a minidress. The bustier in taffeta becomes a pleated miniskirt. The petticoat becomes an asymmetrical draped top. The skirt in 'plumetis' tulle becomes a veil. A cage sleeve of whale-boned velvet ribbon is embroidered with pearls, crystals, and recycled jewels."
—Maison Martin Margiela
Designers in this exhibition include Ann Demeulemeester, Alexander McQueen, Bernhard Willhelm, Charles Anastase, Christopher Kane, Chloé, Haider Ackermann and Nicholas Kirkwood. You can view their work online here. I'm very much in love with the Manish Arora creation! He never disappoints.
I've been spending a lot of time around the house, cleaning and quietly preparing for the new year. The weather in Melbourne has been quite miserable and I haven't felt like doing much else. Tomorrow is my cat's 10th birthday. He has been uncharacteristically sulky all day - the woes of aging I suppose. It's only a number, Bear.
Really enjoying Australian artist Nadine Christensen at the moment, so I'll leave you with 'Crops on Mars'(2007). I love her flat aesthetic and rich use of symbolism.

Behind the scenes with RWB & Harpers Bazaar.
Last I posted I was off to Sydney for the Harpers Bazaar and Romance was Born 101 Dalmations shoot. The Sydney State Theatre was the perfect location. I loved the contrast between all those rich amber tones and b&w outfits. It's funny to think about space and the way people wear places and vice versa!
It was a magical experience and so many interesting characters turned up! There were lots of children and families involved in the shoot which was lovely to see. It was great meeting other other bloggers like Darren and Georgi (pictured below with roses in her hair). I can't wait to see the finished results from the shoot!
I love playing around with make-up and decided to don some bee-stung diamonte lips. The image that I sliced in features fabrics from what I was wearing. I love wearing matching prints in different textures. Mismatching is another one of my passions, so I enjoyed pairing together dots which were almost alike but not quite...

Melvin Joseph Ballard (February 9, 1873 – July 30, 1939) was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). His grandson, M. Russell Ballard, also became an apostle.
Birth and early life[edit]
Ballard was born at Logan, Utah Territory, to Henry Ballard and Margaret McNeil. His father was a native of England and had immigrated to Utah in 1852 to gather with the Latter-day Saints. Henry Ballard had been aboard the Saluda when it exploded at Lexington, Missouri, and was injured in that incident. He later served under Porter Rockwell in the Nauvoo Legion when it made efforts to prevent the entry of Johnston's Army into Utah Territory. In 1858, Henry was the first settler of Logan, and he served as bishop of the Logan 2nd Ward from 1861 until 1900.[3]
Prior to Ballard's birth, his mother had an experience that led her to believe her son would be an apostle. In Ballard's patriarchal blessing, this was reaffirmed.
Ballard attended Brigham Young College; he graduated in 1884.
Career and early church service[edit]
In June 1896, Ballard married Martha A. Jones. The following month he left with B. H. Roberts and George D. Pyper on a mission to the large cities of the eastern United States. He was later reassigned to the Northern States Mission. Ballard returned to Utah in December 1898.
In 1899, Ballard organized the Logan Knitting Factory along with Joseph E. Cardon. In 1900, he became a counselor in the bishopric of the Logan 2nd Ward.[3]
Mission President[edit]
Ballard served for several years as president of the Northwestern States Mission of the church. While serving in this capacity, he organized missionary work on some of the Native American reservations in Montana.
When new church president Heber J. Grant was pondering whom to call as an apostle to replace the vacancy caused by the death of his predecessor, Joseph F. Smith, he decided to select his good friend Richard W. Young, as many suspected he would. As Grant met with the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles to announce his decision, he found himself saying that the Lord wanted Melvin J. Ballard to serve in the position. Grant used this experience to teach about revelation and to testify that the Lord gives inspiration to the President of the Church.[4]
Ballard was ordained an apostle and became a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles on January 7, 1919. As an apostle, Ballard opened up missionary work in South America in 1925 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Ballard served in the Quorum until his death in Salt Lake City from leukemia.[5] Sylvester Q. Cannon was called to fill the vacancy caused by Ballard's death. Ballard was buried in Salt Lake City Cemetery.

Emily Gordon writes:
Lately I've been waging an inner war against millennial modifiers. Is it Gen Y's fault (let's blame them!), or the fault of us ad-sandblasted, dichotomy-spurning, latchkey-clutching Xers, that everything is "kinda" and "basically" now? I often used these qualifiers myself before I started noticing how hollow and cynical they sound. I'm objecting to this: "pretty awesome" and "kinda genius" and "sort of hilarious" and "basically the best thing ever."
It takes character, and sometimes bravery—a Franzen-style commitment to loving rather then insta-liking—to declare a person or a thing actually good or smart or funny. What's the point of declaring your devotion to something, or admiration for someone, if you can pre-take it back just in case someone else thinks your choice is lame? It's simultaneously hyperbolic (which, as an enthusiast, I'm fine with), disingenuous (danger!), negating (hipster disaffection masking vague woundedness), and oxymoronic (and how is that a held belief?).
Although it's already been replaced by Dicking Around, I'm still a proud adherent of the New Sincerity. Will you join me in putting on the sweet high lonesome sound of The Secret Sisters and wearing your heart on your (corduroy) sleeve instead of hiding it in an equivocating, halfhearted irony bucket?

I saw this in my reader and came back to comment and then found your take on the profane history of TNY …
Hello! I'm Emily Gordon, an editor, critic, copywriter, and pre-web internet nut. Emdashes, born in 2004, spent many years as a New Yorker fan blog. The project garnered some nice compliments and press.
The blog's now treading the territories of punctuation, publications, movies, design, and other things that stir me.
Over the years, I've worked with a brilliant brigade of culture writers, editors, and artists. You can read all about the people who've helped build Emdashes here at "Who We?" (That's a New Yorker joke. Old habits die hard.)
I welcome submissions, questions, corrections, and ardent, obsessive contributors. I also host occasional book-related contests and giveaways. Questioners and publishers, just email me.
Looking for The New Yorker magazine or newyorker.com? Kudos on your classy taste. Here's how to find and contact The New Yorker.
Dashes, some say, "are particularly useful in a sentence that is long and complex." Emdashes—like the em dash itself—provides a thoughtful pause amid the hubbub.
Unsigned posts are by me; other columnists and contributors include Martin Schneider, Pollux, Jonathan Taylor, and Benjamin Chambers, plus various guest stars.
The site was designed by House of Pretty with illustrations by Jesse R. Ewing.
Additional drawings are by Carolita Johnson and Pollux (author of Emdashes webcomic "The Wavy Rule").
Jennifer Hadley designed the original Emdashes pencil logo, based on a 1943 Dorothy Gray ad.

The Lombard Village Board recently approved the final report and recommendations of the Lombard Pride Committee in regards to future community events and festivals within the Village.
The Committee recommendations accepted by the Village Board include the continuation of the Fourth of July fireworks display in 2016, continued financial support for year-round special events and continued acceptance of proposals for special events and community festivals from local not-for-profit organizations.
The Lombard Pride Committee was created by the Village in June 2015 to support the Village Board in evaluating the potential for future community events and festivals within the Village. The eight member resident group was tasked with identifying preferences for future special events and community festivals within the Community and evaluating any proposals for new events.
The Pride Committee issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) in the fall of 2015, seeking a qualified not-for-profit group or groups to plan and operate a future village-wide summer community event or festival. While the Committee identified some preliminary interest through its outreach efforts, no formal event proposals were received.
On January 21, the Village Board approved and accepted the Committee's Final Report and Recommendations. Pursuant to the recommendation, the Village will continue to host a Fourth of July fireworks display for 2016 as well as continue its ongoing support of other special events throughout the year. Special event funding and support from the Village are currently granted to events including the Cruise Nights and the downtown Summer Concerts, the Lilac Time Parade, the Lilac Time Arts & Craft Fair, Spooktacular, Jingle Bell Jubilee, the Civil War reenactment, downtown sports viewing events, and the Lombard Ale Fest.
Additionally, the Village of Lombard will continue to accept proposals from local non-profit organizations for additional or new special events or community festivals year round. Village President Keith Giagnorio, who served as Chairman to the Lombard Pride Committee stated, "While no formal responses were received as part of the RFP, the work of the Committee set the stage for future community festivals and celebrations moving forward. We're leaving the door open for local organizations to bring forward their concepts and proposals for new events as they develop into the future."
The Village will continue with ongoing communication efforts to encourage qualified organizations to submit their concepts and proposals to host a future community events or festivals within the Village. Groups interested in submitting a special event proposal are encouraged to contact Assistant Village Manager Nicole Aranas at 630-620-3085. For additional information on the Lombard Pride Committee final report and recommendations, as well as the event RFP please visit www.villageoflombard.org/pridecommittee.

May. 31, 2015 (Pinellas Park, Fla.) —National Drug Facts Week was created for teens in 2010 by the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health, to help shatter the myths about drugs and drug abuse. In 2015, the awareness week runs from June 24th to June 28th. This observance is meant to open up honest dialogue between health care providers, parents, scientists and teens through community and web-based education.
"It's a great time for young adults to get involved in their community and learn the facts about drugs and drug abuse, including the misuse of prescriptions drugs," says Dr. Charles K. Friedman, D.O., ABAM, a Board Certified Addictionology and Pain Medicine physician from Recovery Resources of Florida and Pain Relief Centers. "I have seen first-hand what an epidemic like prescription drug abuse can do."
Dr. Friedman is the only dual-practicing physician in the region who is trained and certified in the specialties of Addiction Medicine and Pain Management. He's seen both sides of prescription drug use — how it can help individuals in pain in need who are prescribed medication by a physician and also how it can hurt individuals if substances are used improperly.
How common is prescription drug abuse? According to NIDA, each day approximately 2,000 teenagers in the United States try prescription drugs for the first time while not under the care of a physician. Prescription drug use is considered abuse if an individual uses a prescription drug without the consult of a doctor, uses it for the "high," or uses it in any way other than that which it was prescribed.
Dr. Friedman discusses some misconceptions about prescription drug abuse:
- "All prescription drugs are the same."
False. There are different types of prescription medications: opioids, central nervous system depressants, and stimulants, to name a few. "They all affect the brain and the body differently, and can have devastating effects if used improperly," explains Dr. Friedman.
- "If a friend is experiencing the same symptoms as I was, it's okay for me to share my medication with them."
False. Prescription medication should never be shared and it is illegal to do this. "When a patient is prescribed a medication, it is intended for that patient alone based on many different factors, such as medical history, possible drug interactions, height and weight," Dr. Friedman says. "The patient prescribed the medication needs to be monitored closely by a physician for any potential side effects or dependency issues."
- "Using prescription drugs to get high is safer than using illicit drugs, like cocaine or heroin."
False. "The risks from prescription drug abuse on an individual can be similar to the effects from illicit drugs. Both are dangerous and can elicit short and long-term consequences on one's health," Dr. Friedman says. "Prescription drug abuse is substance abuse."

Free will and yoga catchphrases
By Patricia Tillman
If you look closely, you will see that yoga—and by yoga, I decidedly mean modern, popular, exoteric yoga in the West—plays host to two apparently incompatible modern philosophies. These pop philosophies can be found side-by-side in the same yoga-themed self-help book, or even in the same yoga class. They are often expressed in sound-bite, slogan form that lends itself to being quoted on Facebook.
Pop yoga philosophy number one: ACCEPTANCE
Just be, man. Stop trying so hard and just swim with the stream. Appreciate what is and let go of trying to change things. Stop and smell the roses. It's your striving that's causing you suffering. You're exactly where you need to be. You're already perfect. Let go and surrender (not necessarily to a supreme being because whoa, dogmatic, man).
Pop yoga philosophy number two: EMPOWERMENT!
You can achieve anything you put your mind to! Take control of your life! New year, new you! Empower yourself! Change and transform! Don't give up, eyes on the prize! Step outside your comfort zone and live your dreams! Manifest it!
So which is it?
And don't try to weasel out of the question by saying that the two philosophies are yin and yang, because that doesn't really explain how a person should achieve some semblance of balance between the two and at the same time avoid being a melting, lackadaisical neo-hippie on the one hand and a nervously pulsating type-A on the other. Besides, unless you're actually in a yin yoga class, these two philosophies are not presented as dark-and-light polarities, but just thrown out into the new age mishmash for you to interpret on your own. It's confusing.
Do we, or do we not, have control of our own lives? Is happiness to be found by making peace with the inexorable, inescapable nature of reality as it is, or by taking up arms and fighting like a tiny David against the devouring Goliath of our age, and maybe, just maybe, managing to eke out a tiny fragment of change in our lifetimes? Can it be both? Is the notion of our own agency illusory?
Since I study history when I'm not practicing yoga, I've accumulated a lot of evidence for both sides of the argument. The main drawback to the empowerment school of thought is that it can lead to a "blame the victim" mentality: if you're supposed to be self-actualized, then if something bad happens to you—or things don't work as you had planned—it's entirely your own fault. You were too passive; you didn't try hard enough, or want it hard enough.
In reality, history is full of examples of good, decent people whose lives were either thrown into chaos or outright ended by forces beyond their control, and which few could even have predicted. Would we blame the victims of history for their sufferings?
One argument against the "acceptance" school of thought is that history is also filled with examples of individuals—often frail in body but uncrushable in spirit—who, in fact, dared to stand up to that century's various totalitarian governments, which were tailor-made to erase the individual. Their striving did cause them pain—often literal, excruciating physical pain—but their voices were heard, and they made an impact on history.
So is free will an illusion or not?
Oh, you thought I was going to have an answer? LOL. This is a question which has occupied philosophers and theologians of far greater competence than me for centuries. But I do know that if we want to come anywhere close to answering this, we will have to (gasp!) step outside the "bubble" of yoga and read, study history, take up philosophy (or whatever else floats your boat) and experience the fluctuations of life. We'll have to think through the philosophical implications of yoga slogans, instead of simply repeating them because they sound catchy.
Form your own opinion, and not just the pop-yoga party line, because whoa, dogmatic, man.

Her dissertation research would probably be going much faster if she didn't find everything in the world so interesting.

I particularly enjoy reading this type of writing on this site more that any other, which delves into serious philosophical questions albeit sprinkled with some humor. Good job on this one. As to the question that is posed, I have struggled with it myself, being a creature deeply imbedded in the world of business where achievement and success is directly related to personal input and focused application of oneself and also an avid student of contemplation of the meaning of life and other similar philosophical existential questions, where I've encountered the quality of being with "what is". The closest I've come to an answer to this dichotomy is that there are two worlds: one is the practical world of physical survival and the other is the realm of seeing the truth that lies beneath all the fabrications of the mind.Response posted on January 15th, 2014 , 5:06 am
My own answer is to pick which ever "truth" suits me on any particular day, because, life is a cosmic flux (man).Response posted on January 22nd, 2014 , 10:23 am

text: Today is going to be a good day. We kick off our wedding season and we could not be any more excited. Really this has been a good week. Started off with being a hostess for a bridal shower for some dear friends. I was in charge of invites and flowers. These were a few I had left over so I made myself a little bouquet. This bracelet by tanya aguiniga that I bought myself on fab.com before Christmas. It rarely leaves my wrist. For some reason it has magically abilities that make my somewhat boring wardrobe feel so much more put together. The bag is a John Robshaw that I got for a steal on One Kings Lane. It has officially become a favorite. The tea from Harney & Sons was a gift from a wonderful friend when we had her and her Mr. over for dessert and games. It is quite DELICIOUS! Oh, and I finally made my decision on a paint color for the house. It is mascarpone from Benjamin Moore. How has your week been or are you looking forward to the weekend?

Soccer mom meets soccer coach
I picked up a new hobby these next few months…Y'all are personally looking at smithboy#1 soccer coach! Oh yes, you absolutely read that right. I am a PAYSL soccer coach for the 2017 fall season. If you personally know me from my younger years, you would know I have never played soccer nor have I watched a single soccer game. Why? First, it was too much running in my opinion and two I've never been good at kicking a ball around. BUT I am determined to make this season the absolute best for my son and his team. My mother law, husband/daddysmith, both smithboys, and I all went to Academy to get the gear we would need. It was easy enough to get soccer cleats, shinguards, ball and socks for smithboy#1 but what in the heck do I need to be a coach. My googled listed looked a little like this:
- Whistle
- Soccer ball
- Cones
Now my husbands and his mothers' list looked a little different:
- Soccer ball
- Whistle
- Cones
- Soccer bag
- Rolling cart (if you are a sports person you know what I am talking about. If you aren't, look at the following pic.)
- 3 Camping Chairs to sit and watch the game (not just two adult ones but a toddler one for smithboy #2)
- Shinguards for smithboy#2
- Practice socks
- Sliders
- Clipboard
As you can tell, both of them obviously knew what they were doing and wanting. So who's list did we use? Both of course! Because Granny (mother-n-law) can never say no to her grandsons. This past Thursday was our first team practice. With my fingers crossed, I was hoping I had players who played before. I was in for surprise and half of the kids played 2017 spring ball! 45 minutes later practice was over, the kiddos were exhausted, parents were happy and I was dripping with sweat. Now with that being said, I want to personally thank Pinterest for all the how to's, pictures and drills. Mom's if you haven't got a Pinterest I highly suggest you do, it is a HUGE LIFESAVER! Saturday was upon us and that only means one thing, game day! @ 12:30 we played our very first game against the Tigers and won! Since the league says the kids are too young and just need to learn the fundamentals they did not keep score. However, in my eyes and the kiddos eyes, our team is number one! Way to go Tornados and let's keep it up!
** The rolling cart was a huge success. I was able to pack the soccer bag with all the essentials, the 3 chairs, toys, waters and smithboy#2 small toddler body in the cart and roll it to the field. Daddysmith 1 – Mamasmith 0

YouTube's DIY videos, and the ready availability of the tools we need to make them, have gone a long way to changing the public perception of visual entertainment. A lofty statement, perhaps, but consider that an estimated 300 hours of content are uploaded to YouTube every minute, and around four billion videos are viewed on the site daily. Can traditional TV match those numbers?
YouTube pays, too, in a number of ways. Becoming one of its bigger earners isn't an instant win – you'll only succeed if you can attract viewers – but there's money to be made if you're dedicated and ready to exploit every avenue available. But how do you actually go about that? Listen up for some key pointers.
1. Build an audience
The first major point, and we cannot stress this enough, is that if nobody is watching your videos, you will not make an appreciable amount of money. Tiny channels with only a few hundred subscribers might make a few pennies per video on ads, but since Google's AdSense program sets a marker on the amount you must earn before you're able to withdraw funds, you might never see any of it.
Building an audience means doing several things. First, and most important, is creating regular, attractive content that viewers will return to again and again. Push subscriptions, likes and comments so that YouTube's algorithm looks favourably on you, and add relevant tags, thumbnails and titles to your video so you stand out from the crowd.
2. Interact
An audience that knows you're paying attention to them is one which will be attentive in return. As painful as it may be, it makes sense to trawl through your YouTube comments and reply (nicely) to anyone with a question. This will also give you a slight nudge up the YouTube ranking algorithm, so it's a double win.
Consider also following and subscribing to similar channels, ideally those with a slightly bigger audience than your own. Getting friendly with the bigger guys will help you get noticed, and if you're really chummy you may even end up collaborating together – nothing boosts subscriber numbers like a collaboration video aimed at a pre-existing perfect audience.
3. Host ads with AdSense
Google's primary method of monetising your videos is by showing pre-roll or interstitial ads. You'll need to register your YouTube account to accept monetisation here, register an AdSense account (follow the guide here), and ensure you click the appropriate check box when uploading your videos.
Bear in mind that certain content may be against YouTube's content guidelines – presumably to avoid offending any advertisers – and as such may be denied any ad support. You'll also run into trouble if you use any copyrighted content, or content identified as such by YouTube's automated systems – if you do, your revenue will either be swallowed up by the copyright holder, or your video will be blocked.
4. Attract Red subscribers
YouTube Red, the site's ad-free subscription service, can also help line your pockets. But if you're going for Red subscribers – and there aren't a huge number of them as yet – it pays to know that it deals out the money in a slightly different way. Basically, a chunk of that subscription fee is shared between the content creators each viewer likes; if a particular Red subscriber spends a long time watching your content, you'll get a bigger slice.
Don't think this means you should be producing two-hour epics every day – that's a great way to turn off viewers, not engage them – but steer clear of five-second shorts, since they'll earn you nothing.
If you're already registered to receive money via AdSense, you don't need to do anything more to collect YouTube Red funds. And if you're a big channel (and you'd have to be a very big channel) perhaps you could join the likes of PewDiePie and Rhett & Link in producing Red-exclusive content…
5. Pick up sponsors and brand deals
Once your channel reaches a certain size, you'll be eligible to produce paid promotions – properly highlighted, of course, to ensure you don't fall foul of advertising regulations – which will enable you to pick up a little money outside the purview of YouTube's internal monetisation schemes.
If you have a huge channel, advertisers may well come to you to offer a sweet deal. Great! Enjoy your inflated bank balance. In the far more likely event of you not having a channel quite so large, you'll need to hit the email, pushing appropriate brands to join you. That might not be so easy.
Whichever route you choose, you need to make sure that your brand partnerships are, while obvious, neither dull and overt nor too loose and flaky. Your viewers are the most important thing, and they expect quality content. Don't deviate from your usual format too far, or they'll be quickly turned off.
6. Let them pay
A committed audience might also be a generous one, and many content creators subsidise their ad revenue, and fund more elaborate videos, by taking donations from viewers via Patreon. Pushing it too hard or blatantly begging will never work, but letting viewers know at the end of a video that they're welcome to contribute – and perhaps even rolling the names of some supporters – can be a good way to generate additional funds.
It's a bit of an aside – we are talking about YouTube here, after all – but Twitch streaming can be valuable if you're creating gaming-focused content. You can integrate your Twitch account with your YouTube account to inform viewers when you have a stream running, and live engagement with viewers can do wonders for donation income.
7. Merchandise
Don't underestimate the enthusiasm of a dedicated audience. Get them on side enough and they may well be willing to part with money to advertise your brand for you. Or, at least, they might buy a T-shirt or two.
If you don't want to go to the trouble of setting up your own merchandise store there are plenty of options: Spreadshirt will print up shirts on demand and deal with all the stocking and mailing of them, while a service like Big Cartel helps you set up a storefront and leaves the rest to you.
If you're selling merch, make sure you highlight the fact. Some channels leave links to their wares in video descriptions, others in pre- or post-roll video sections, and some even go as far as making specific videos dedicated to selling their stuff. Consider just how friendly your audience is before you commit to one or the other.
