Christ-less Christmas?By
If you are easily offended, skip this post. You can come back soon for the next one.
This week I learned of Tim Minchin, a highly-talented British-Australian who is either a comedian that sings or a singer that does comedy–both descriptions seem accurate. In listening to some of his stuff, I found almost all of his songs and comedy to be laced with profanity, except for one song that consists of profanity sprinkled with conjunctions and a name. One theme that seems to run throughout his stuff is a disdain for all things religious as well as anything God-related.
Minchin could easily be a key narrator for a western, post-Christian world. With a recent trending on Twitter and his concerts taking place in some of the largest venues in the western world, his message clearly resonates with a large percent of audiences in Australia, the UK and the US. Having examined various aspects of religion including a number of key points from the Bible, he rejects it all. But, he is not rejecting all that is good. In what is becoming a Christmas standard, White Wine in the Sun, he sings of the deep trust and safety he has in his family. His holiday celebrations with them represent a place and time that he treasures. Something that he wants to convey and extend to his baby daughter. He values the deep community made up of people that he loves, a people that love him well.
In this song, Minchin celebrates the sentimental aspect of Christmas. His celebration is of a Christ-less Christmas. For him, I pray a wonderful celebration with those he loves and that one day he will experience the transformational love of Jesus. For me and others that read here, I pray that we can learn from Tim about how to better represent Christ to those that have wholly embraced a post-Christian non-belief.
Isn't it great that the whole world celebrates Jesus birthday whether they believe in him or not!

Schefflera Plant Care
Common Name: Schefflera (Amate, Diana, Dwarf, Gold Capella, Umbrella Tree, Trinette)
Scientific Name: Schefflera Species
Lighting: Bright to Moderate
Water: Moderate to Low
The Schefflera is characterized by foliage arranged in groups of 3 to 7 at the end of the stems, similar to spokes on a wheel or umbrellas. Schefflera's make great houseplants due to their low need for maintenance.
Schefflera's require bright indirect light. If plant is not receiving enough light or is too far away from the light source, the Schefflera will become spindly by stretching towards the light source. Do not place this houseplant in direct sunlight or you may burn the foliage. If foliage begins to drop and turn yellow, the plant is not receiving enough light.
Watering requirements for this houseplant are pretty much the same as many other common houseplants. Allow the soil to dry in between watering; however do not allow it to stay dry for long periods of time. On the opposite end, do not allow the plant to sit in water either, so be sure to allow proper drainage. If the foliage begins to drop and turn black in color, you are overwatering or do not have proper drainage in place. If the foliage tips begin to curl or wrinkle, you are probably under watering the plant.
Do not be afraid to prune your Schefflera back into shape if it gets out of control. This is one houseplant who will bounce back better than ever after a nice complete pruning.
The Schefflera does have one enemy that can be pretty common: Spider Mites. To prevent Spider Mites from taking over, once a week or more give the plant a nice misting of a soapy water mixture. If Spider Mites become present, try this soapy water misting twice a day. If this does not work, visit your local garden center for a safe alternative.
Schefflera's are toxic if eaten. Like so many other houseplants, it is included in the list of poisonous houseplants.
Common Schefflera Varieties:
Common Name: Amate Schefflera
Scientific Name: Brassaia actinophylla
The Amate variety features larger green foliage with a glossy surface. Plant looks wonderful when using a leaf shine product on the leaves leaving them dust free.
Common Name: Dwarf Schefflera
Scientific Name: Schefflera arboricola
The Dwarf variety usually does not reach any taller than 4 feet in height. Otherwise it looks just like other Schefflera varieties.
Common Name: Schefflera Gold Capella
Scientific Name: Schefflera species
This variety is characterized with the same appearance as other Schefflera's except foliage is in beautiful gold and green colors, adding drama to any rooms décor.
Please share your tips for this common houseplant!

Remediation may need to be performed on a site to reduce or eliminate contamination at identified areas and to make the site suitable for a specific use. A Remedial Action Plan (RAP) is prepared and will usually include the following:
- A description of the current site status (i.e. the site investigation report);
- The choice of remediation method(s);
- Application for and receipt of necessary permits;
- Appropriate provisions for occupational health and safety of personnel;
- Implementation of the remediation; and
- Production of a technically sound report that is suitable for the purposes of the Contaminated Land Auditor, or other stakeholders.
In general, for small amounts of contamination, the most common and fastest method for clean-up is excavation and removal of soil to a licensed facility such as a landfill.
Other methods such as bioremediation and thermal destruction are available but may take longer to implement. Certain economies of scale will apply when selecting the best remediation method. In addition, the suitability of the clean-up method must be matched to the type of contamination.
Often in this process, soil needs to be transported offsite to a landfill facility to remove the contamination. When sampling is conducted for this purpose EPA Publication IWRG702 'Soil Sampling' needs to be followed, with the soil chemical concentrations are assessed against the requirements stated in EPA Publication IWRG 621 'Soil Hazard Categorisation and Management'.
As specialist contaminated land consultants, Atma Environmental have in-depth experience in many forms of site remediation on a wide range of site types. The keys to effectively decontaminating a site are: adequate site characterisation, excellent planning and site management, and flexibility in dealing with any deviations that do come up.
Why Atma Environmental is Your Best Choice for Site Remediation
Company Director and Principal Environmental Consultant Glenn Berry has over 30 years' experience in contaminated land remediation, and personally supervises all site remediation jobs that Atma Environmental undertakes. Having such a senior Environmental Consultant oversee all remediation work means you can be confident that the right decisions are being made on your site, and that every decision made considers your best interests, including how to achieve regulatory compliance in the most cost-effective manner possible.
It's worth noting that our vast experience usually translates to better outcomes for our clients, because the cost of site remediation works can be significant and better decision making and project management at site literally saves clients tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars in the cost of remediation works.

New job
After a two week vacation (paid thanks to my unused overtime at AFF), today I started my new job as a ramper at Anchorage International Airport. It can get a bit hectic at times, but it's generally pretty cool. It doesn't pay as well as my last job, but with the guarantee of 80 hours per pay period and all the overtime I can handle I'll be making a lot more money. There are also incentives like flights to places in AK for as low as $10. I'll even get discounts on Alaska Airlines. The thought of flying to a resort destination in Mexico for $80 and I'm there. Though I'd be far more likely to use that to go to Vancouver for a hockey weekend when the season starts back up.

The General, famed for the daring theft of it during the Civil War, resides now in the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History, Kennesaw, Georgia.
It has been one hundred fifty one years and a handful of days since the adventure that elevated The General, a Civil War era engine, from obscurity to a place in history. If it had not been for James J. Andrews, a civilian scout for the North, and his audacious plan, I wouldn't have bothered to shoot the above photo, and it is unlikely that the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History would have preserved the handsome Confederate relic.
But Andrews did conceive and execute his plan. His daring feat became known as The Great Locomotive Chase. The real-life adventure was a movie waiting to happen complete with danger, heroism and tragedy in the brutal tedium of the 'War of the Rebellion.'
One of the main strategies used by both Federals and Rebels during the Civil War was the disruption of transportation, primarily by destroying railroads, bridges and tunnels. A major railway route lay between Atlanta and Chattanooga. Destroy or obstruct the single line of rails, and the Union would have seriously compromised the security of Chattanooga. In a daring raid, termed the most "Dramatic in the Civil War," under Andrews' direction, twenty-two volunteers from the Union army and two civilians stole the train, The General, while its passengers and crew were stopped for breakfast and refueling at Big Shanty, (now Kennesaw) Georgia.
Although the initial theft went off without a hitch, after that, poor Andrews and his crew couldn't catch a break.
First of all, unfortunately for Andrews and his men, the General's conductor was William Allan Fuller, a tenacious man who didn't know when or how to give up.
Then Andrews had to repeatedly stop and let southbound trains go by on the single track connection between Atlanta and Chattanooga, slowing him enough that Fuller even without good transportation kept gaining on him. At Kingston, a sectional train pre-empted his travel, holding him there while several trains passed until the angry Fuller and the soldiers he'd collected during the chase came very close to catching him.
After a breath-taking chase, first on foot, then by handcar, and finally on board another couple of trains, Fuller comandeered The Texas, running it in reverse since it was headed south. After a thundering race through the tunnel at Tunnel Hill, the train rustlers were caught just south of Chattanooga.
Several of the men were hanged immediately after the capture, some were taken to various prisons, tried and later hanged. A few escaped and made their way back north to Union lines. Andrews, the audacious mastermind, was one of the men hanged.
The very first Medals of Honor were given to some of the volunteers for that effort. At least two movies, THE GENERAL, a Buster Keaton silent comedy, and THE GREAT LOCOMOTIVE CHASE, a Walt Disney movie, were based on the incident. Several later books were written about this event, including Wild Train: The Story of the Andrews Raiders, by Charles O'Neill, (Random House, 1959), long considered one of the most authoritative accounts of the Raid..
W. D., my husband's great grandfather and the subject of my book, GOING TO SEE THE ELEPHANT, A CIVIL WAR MEMOIR, was still working his farm in the northwestern corner of Missouri when The Great Chase happened on April 12, 1862. I can picture him going about his work debating with himself in light of his family responsibilities, whether he needed to get into this conflict that was tearing his country apart. He must have read accounts of The Chase with a mix of amusement, astonishment and pride.
Whether the Great Locomotive Chase influenced his decision to join the Federal forces, there's no way to know, but by August of that year, he had signed the enlistment papers and set off to be a soldier.

Web debugging on windows
Web development has come a long way since the days when Response.Write() and alert() were the only ways to find out why your application was misbehaving. Here are some of my favourite tools and techniques for understanding what's really going on.
Debugging inside IIS
Failed request tracing – a handy IIS7 feature for debugging what's happening when there are problems with modules or handlers in the IIS pipeline.
Debugging IIS7 with Windows events tracing – detailed information about what has happened to a broken request that fails before or after it gets to an IIS7 application pool.
When things go wrong on the client
Simulating network latency with fiddler – How to use the Fiddler proxy to simulate HTTP response latency to test how your website works over a slow connection.
IE tester – for cross browser testing across all versions of IE.
IE drip – finding javascript memory leaks. Tracks how much memory IE is using and shows DOM elements that can't be disposed. An old tool which isn't very pretty looking, but super handy if you need to debug memory leaks.
DIY javascript stack trace – creating yourself a stack trace if you can't run javascript debugging tools for some reason.

The Trinity County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday arrested a 24-year-old Mad River man on suspicion of murdering his stepfather two days earlier in the town of Ruth.
Details about the killing and the arrest remain sparse, but the sheriff's office announced it had arrested John Robert Powell on Wednesday afternoon after he allegedly "made some admissions regarding the shooting" of his stepfather Jonathon William Powell, who was found dead in his home on Monday.
Jonathon William Powell's wife, Janette Powell, called police after she arrived at her Ruth home at about 6 p.m. Monday to find him dead of a gunshot wound or gunshot wounds. Investigators are not releasing how many times the man was shot, but the sheriff's office said they found no signs of a break-in, burglary or robbery at the residence.
On Wednesday morning, the sheriff's office announced it was searching for John Robert Powell as a person of interest in the case, with investigators hoping to question him about the death of his stepfather. The sheriff's office warned that he should be considered armed and dangerous.
At about noon, deputies acting on a tip found John Robert Powell walking alone on a forest service road in a remote area of southern Trinity County, according to sheriff's office spokeswoman Lynn Ward. Ward said she did not know exactly where John Robert Powell was found or whether he was armed at the time, but she said he went willingly with the deputies. Several hours later, the sheriff's office announced it had arrested John Robert Powell on suspicion of murder and that he had made admissions regarding the shooting of his 68-year-old stepfather. The sheriff's office has not stated a motive for the alleged killing.
An autopsy has been scheduled for today/ Ward said she did not know exactly when Jonathon William Powell was shot, but said it was sometime during the day. His wife told officials he was alive when she left the house Monday morning, Ward said.
In a phone interview on Tuesday, a member of Jonathon William Powell's family described him as a religious man who loved to hunt, loved the outdoors and was dedicated to his country. A veteran of the U.S. Navy, Jonathon William Powell served in the U.S. Coast Guard in Alaska before retiring and moving to Ruth, a small town in southwestern Trinity County where he worked for the county driving a snow plow.
"He loved his life," the family member told the Times-Standard.
John Robert Powell had been in police custody three days prior to the shooting, according to the sheriff's office, which reported that it arrested him last Friday for a misdemeanor warrant out of Humboldt County. Ward said she thought the warrant was for failing to appear in court for a driving under the influence case, but Humboldt County court records indicate the warrant stemmed from an open 2010 grand theft case.
Ward said John Robert Powell was brought to the Trinity County jail on Friday but was ultimately cited and released because the jail was at capacity. On Wednesday, he was booked into the jail on suspicion of murder.

Accounting for Bonds
Amounts paid as a bond on the hire of a hall, need to be included as a part of the event report, rather than as a non-event expense (or income when returned). This allows you to see whether the steward has fulfilled their responsibility as the representative (and therefore responsible person) of your group, as the hirer of the hall.
As bonds are generally paid before the event, as a part of the deposit on the hall, any bonds paid should be recorded in the expenditure section of the event report. The return of the bond can either be put into the income section or as a negative value in the expenditure section.
Australia - Xero
When reconciling a bond in Xero, you should allocate the bond to the "Cash Advances and Floats" account for your group - see the Xero Procedure Manual relevant section for more information on how to do this (noting that it is incomplete as of this writing - feel free to ask the list or the Exchequer for help if needed). When the bond is paid back this amount can also be reconciled against the same account, effectively 'zeroing out' the funds paid. As such, once all funds issues are received back, this account should have $0 in it.
A similar procedure can be used for cash advances for events and other purchases.

The Sweetland Center for Writing, a comprehensive writing center and an independent academic unit in LSA, exists to support student writing at all levels and in all forms and modes. To accomplish this mission, Sweetland oversees the College of LSA's First-Year and Upper-Level writing requirements, offers one-to-one tutoring for undergraduate and graduate students in its faculty-led Writing Workshop and undergraduate Peer Writing Center, and teaches writing courses from the 100 to the graduate level. Sweetland provides support for multilingual and international undergraduate students; it also assists faculty who are teaching multilingual students with resources and seminars. In addition, Sweetland offers the Sweetland Minor in Writing, teaches and supports digital media and multimodal forms of writing, and runs the invitational Dissertation Writing Institute, Sweetland Fellows Seminar, and M-Write Seminar.
The Sweetland Center for Writing also serves as a vibrant hub of research on writing. The Center has just completed a five-year longitudinal study of student writing development focused on students in the Minor in Writing Program. It has also launched the nationally recognized Sweetland Digital Rhetoric Collaborative, a digital book series with UM Press and a popular website created by and for the computers and writing community. Another large-scale research initiative focuses on the role of writing in STEM courses. Sweetland has hosted two major writing conferences over the past six years and continues to pursue research-based interventions into Directed Self-Placement, support for transfer students, the Upper-Level Writing Requirement (ULWR), peer tutoring, digital rhetoric, and support for international and multilingual students.
The primary duties and responsibilities of the director include:
- Provide vision, leadership, and strategic direction for Sweetland to fulfill its teaching and service mission.
- Plan and direct the development, implementation, and administration of all teaching programs, services, research, and other initiatives for the Sweetland Center for Writing. Cultivate approaches to program development and implementation in collaboration with Sweetland faculty and staff.
- Oversee all First-Year Writing Requirement (FYWR) and ULWR courses, including approving courses, training instructors, and consulting about curriculum with faculty across the disciplines.
- Develop and manage the Sweetland budget. Lead ongoing efforts to strengthen financial resources of the Center.
- Supervise Sweetland staff, oversee faculty reviews, and promote professional development for Sweetland faculty.
- Recruit outstanding faculty who, through their pedagogical expertise, further Sweetland's pedagogical and outreach mission.
- Lead the Sweetland Fellows Seminar, helping faculty from multiple disciplines build expertise in the teaching of writing.
- Establish and maintain collaborative relationships with departments, programs, and faculty in the College of Literature, Science and the Arts, the College of Engineering, and other schools and colleges across campus, and promote knowledge about writing in the disciplines across campus.
- Monitor the higher education environments for opportunities for Sweetland to provide national—and international—leadership in writing studies.
- Regularly review and assess Sweetland's programs and curriculum to measure their effectiveness.
Desired Qualifications
PhD required, in writing studies, rhetoric, or a related discipline. Candidates should possess a distinguished record of research and teaching excellence, as well as significant program administration experience in a complex academic environment. Candidates should also demonstrate: ability to relate effectively to a wide range of people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures; a proven commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion; a commitment to advocacy for non-tenure track faculty; knowledge of writing programs and/or writing centers, as well as WAC/WID; experience with budgeting, research design, and faculty mentoring.

by Patricia Boccadoro
ARIS, 22 May 1997 - The dance world here is bewildered. The critics, the teachers, and the dancers, particularly the corps de ballet, of the Paris Opera do not understand who or what is blocking the long-overdue nominations of premier danseurs Agnès Letestu and José Martinez to the status of étoile, the most coveted title in the dance world.
For over a decade, the Paris Opera Ballet has been universally recognised as the finest classical company in the world, a pre-eminence which dates back to 1983 when Rudolf Nureyev became director and completely revitalised the French troupe. Inspiring the dancers with his own passion, he transformed the level of teaching, gave the company an exciting and imaginative new repertory and above all nominated his étoiles at the age of 20 or 21, when they were barely out of the corps de ballet.
Then as now, the company was divided into a hierarchy: étoiles, premiers danseurs, sujets, coryphées and quadrilles. The étoiles had risen through the company's strict ranking system, their promotion depending on a competitive examination to the next grade when places became available. Only étoiles were, and still are, directly appointed by the General Administration on the recommendation of the dance director.
Nureyev broke through all that, blasting away the last traces of influence and favouritism which Serge Lifar (director 1930 -1958) had done his utmost to abolish. He rewarded talent and hard work with promotion, nurturing a new generation of superbly gifted young dancers including Elisabeth Platel, Sylvie Guillem, Laurent Hilaire and Manuel Legris - the stars of today. All were nominated étoile by the age of 22.
The policy of Brigitte Lefèvre, artistic director since July 1995, is to continue the project he began. Be that as it may, the question being asked in Paris right now is why Letestu, 26 years old, and Martinez, 27, both winners - like Baryshnikov, Makarova, Patrick Dupond and Sylvie Guillem - of the Varna competition (the most prestigious in the world) in 1990 and 1992, remain premiers danseurs, the accolade of étoile seemingly beyond their reach.
Choreographer John Neumeier, whose ballet Sylvia closes an exceptional seaon on 16 July, was particularly happy to discover the talented Martinez, whom he chose to dance the three principal male roles of his ballet on alternate evenings, either Endymion or the double role of L'Amour / Orion.
Martinez was first acclaimed for his performance in Le Tricorne in 1993, making his debut in Swan Lake the following year partnered by Agnès Letestu - a couple both on and off stage. Letestu and Martinez, who had never danced a full-length classic together in Paris, created that rarity in dance: the beginnings of a true partnership.
The Paris-born Letestu has always said that she owed everything to Rudolf Nureyev, who plucked her out of the corps de ballet to dance the role of Princess Gamzatti in his 1992 production of La Bayadère, believing that she should rapidly be nominated étoile. But after his death, under the directorship of Patrick Dupond (1990-95), she was passed over in favour of older, more experienced dancers who lack both her breathtaking technique and unquestionable dramatic gifts.
She has been chosen not only by Nureyev for the classical works, but also, like Martinez, by such contemporary choreographers as Roland Petit, Jerome Robbins, Jean Grand-Maitre, William Forsythe, Daniel Larrieu and Mats Ek. Letestu is one of the rare ballerinas who can dance Balanchine because she allies the extensions of a dancer of today with the speed and precision of the 1930s, when many of his ballets were written. She is, in fact, a ballerina of the future who combines an infallible technique with grace and softness, always serene and unruffled on stage.
Invited to international galas with increasing frequency, dancing Swan Lake in Florence, Romeo and Juliet in Amsterdam, Giselle in Zagreb, all to standing ovations, and with a project to dance Nutcracker in London, the charismatic couple of Letestu and Martinez are rapidly becoming stars in every company except their own.
Josette Amiel, their teacher in the company who considers each of them outstanding separately, says that together they are simply sublime. In an interview she spoke of their quest for perfection: "they have the humility inherent in all true artists, the technical brilliance and the intelligence", qualities reiterated by Florence Clerc ( étoile 1977-1991). Clerc coached them for The Sleeping Beauty last February when they were cast to dance two out of twenty-seven performances. "I was amazed by their individual gifts," she said. " They are the ideal interpreters of the Paris Opera repertory, pure and radiant with a very special quality."
The Opera hierarchy being what it is, namely that the category of premier danseur is rarely given the opportunity to dance main roles in the classics, étoiles must be nominated young so they have time to forge their own personalities. Nominated later, ravishing and graceful though they may be, they often remain little more than soloists leading the corps de ballet and not stars in their own right.
Several questionable nominations were made by Dupond at different levels in the company, the consequences of which are all too evident today, notably in Nureyev's own ballets which are not always danced as well as they were. The problem with the French company is that the position of première danseuse seems not to be considered an honour in itself but merely a stepping stone to greater things. Dupond in his eagerness to reward dancers for services rendered had at one moment nine female stars.
Brigitte Lefèvre, who complained that the Paris opera ballet had more étoiles than premièrs danseurs, regards the position of étoile as a consecration, which only increases speculation as to why one of the most luminous and radiant couples in dance today is not recognised as such. The director of the Paris Operas, Hughes Gall, remains mute on this topic despite a written request for elucidation last February.
Clearly, these two dancers are in a sphere of their own and if art alone were the only consideration their nomination would not only crown an exceptional season of dance, but remove all hints of the power of influence which has plagued the Paris Opera Ballet for so many years.

Group Membership: X-Force
Affiliations: X-Force (Anarchist, Battering Ram, Bloke, Cupric, Doop, Gin Genie, La Nuit, Orphan, Ostinato, Phat, Plazm, Saint Anna, Sluk, U-Go Girl, Vivisector, Vulpine, Zeitgeist) (he was team manager but did not care for any of them); Smoke, Succubus
Enemies: X-Force, Wolverine
Known Relatives: None
Aliases: The Arm
Base of Operations: X-Force Building in Santa Monica, California
First Appearance: X-Force I#116 (May, 2001)
Powers: At the time of his death, the Coach had no superhuman powers but was an extremely skilled manipulator and was not above drugging his own men or using a gun against them. He was also a skilled fighter. He formerly possessed a gigantic arm that presumably had superhuman strength and had red eyes, which hinted at a possible superhuman powers that he no longer possessed.
Height: 5' 11" Weight: 180 lbs.
History: (Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z Vol. 13 HC – X-Statix entry) – When a group of mutants decided to use their powers for fame and fortune, rather than heroics, the Coach (formerly the superhuman known as the Arm) became their team manager, choosing members from various countrywide "farm teams" using focus groups to determine their popularity.
(Marvel Encyclopedia Vol. 2: X-Men HC – Coach entry) – As team manager, the Coach took on the responsibilities of organizing X-Force missions, recruiting new members and ensuring the ongoing profitable merchandising of the team.
(X-Statix #10 (fb)) – On March 19, the Coach and the early members of X-Force waved to the public as they returned from a mission.
(X-Force I #116 (fb) – BTS) – The Coach somehow lost his "special arm."
(X-Force I #116)- Coach called a press conference to introduce the Anarchist to X-Force.
(X-Force I #120 (fb)) – After X-Force team owner Spike Freeman's investors wanted to bring new blood into X-Force, the Coach met with team leader Zeitgeist to discuss killing off most of the team. When Zeitgeist asked who would be left, the Coach replied that at least Zeitgeist and the Anarchist would remain. Zeitgeist then asked about U-Go Girl and the Coach asked if Zeitgeist and U-Go Girl were close but Zeitgeist replied that he wished he had never been intimate with U-Go Girl, figuring that death would probably be doing her a favor. The Coach then began telling Zeitgeist about a boy band called Boyz R Us.
(X-Force I #116) - The Coach later briefed the team on their upcoming mission to rescue the boy band Boyz R Us, who had been taken hostage in New York. During the mission, every X-Force member excepting Doop, the Anarchist and U-Go Girl were killed.
(Marvel Encyclopedia Vol. 2: X-Men HC – Coach entry) – With X-Force merchandise sales plummetting in the wake of the deaths of the majority of the team, the Coach recruited new members Bloke, Vivisector, Phat, St. Anna and the Orphan.
(X-Force I #117)- The Coach discussed the deaths of most of the team members to the remaining three, and then revealed to X-Force who the team owner was: young trillionaire Spike Freeman. He briefed the team on their upcoming mission to retrieve young mutant Paco Perez from his Bastronan captivity and revealed Orphan as their new team leader at a press conference.
(X-Force#118)- The Coach briefed X-Force on their informant, Diego Ardilles, for their upcoming mission.
(X-Force#119)- Coach spoke with the Orphan about the team's public image, preferring to allow the public to believe U-Go Girl had an addiction to pain killers and alcohol. He also reminded the Orphan that the team's mission was return Paco Perez to the USA regardless of Paco's safety. When the Orphan questioned the Coach's decision, the Coach sent his bodyguards, Smoke and Succubus, to subdue the Orphan. X-Force soon joined in the fray against Smoke and Succubus but the Orphan eventually broke up the fight. Later that evening, as the Orphan dropped Paco Perez off in Buenos Aires to live with the now-deceased St. Anna's father, the Coach confronted U-Go Girl in her bedroom and tried to manipulate her into killing the Orphan by promising her leadership of X-Force.
(X-Force#120)- The Coach held a press conference assuring the media that X-Force was still a team, and spoke with Spike Freeman about the framing of the Orphan, claiming that he had just the thing to push the Orphan over the edge. Later, around sundown, the Coach met with U-Go Girl and asked her about his previous proposition of murdering the Orphan. When U-Go Girl began to have doubts and began to look for her inhaler that energized her for teleporting, the Coach denied her the inhaler and told her it was too late to back out of the murder plot. After she threatened him, the Coach gave her the inhaler but upon her using it, he revealed that he had drugged it to prevent her from attempting to stop the murder. Since she was completely out of it due to the drugged inhaler, the Coach then decided to rape her but was stopped by the arriving Orphan. An angry Coach sent Smoke and Succubus to battle the Orphan but Wolverine arrived, having been contacted by team cameraman Doop. Wolverine and the Orphan fought Smoke and Succubus while U-Go Girl summoned all of her remaining strength in an attempt to grab the gun from the Coach's hand. The gun instead went off, fatally wounding the Coach.

Author Notes: I love making ice cream and other frozen confections. When the carrot theme was announced, one of the first thoughts that popped into my head was Carrot Cake Ice Cream. The idea stuck, and in addition to the main flavors of carrot cake - cinnamon, allspice, grated carrot, brown sugar, vanilla, and walnuts - I added carrot juice for a boost of sweet carrot flavor, orange zest for brightness and mascarpone for added richness. The resulting ice cream is a decadent frosty relative of carrot cake - think carrot cake with orange creamsicle frosting. - gingerroot —gingerroot
Food52 Review: I've always made ice cream custard with eggs as opposed to cornstarch so I was a little concerned before making this recipe but I was delightfully surprised when I tried it. The texture was as creamy and smooth as other ice creams I've made in the past. The infusion of the spices in the beginning of the recipe was very successful. You could really taste them in the final ice cream but they weren't too overpowering. The one thing I would change is the amount of maple walnuts—I'd double it, they were delicious! Perhaps only adding half to the ice cream and then sprinkling some on the final product when plating; I had to hold myself back from eating them. Another nice addition to the ice cream was the raw shaved carrot, it gave a good crunch along with the walnuts. Also, Gingerroot mentioned that it is best right after making and she was definitely right. If making ahead of time, let it sit out for a good 15 minutes before serving to soften up. —singing_baker
Makes: about 1 quart
For the ice cream:
cup heavy cream
cup 1% milk
tablespoons light brown sugar
cinnamon sticks, broken in half
whole allspice pods
tablespoons cornstarch
cup carrot juice (I used Bolthouse Farms)
medium carrot, peeled
navel orange
1 1/2
teaspoons vanilla
tablespoons mascarpone
For Maple Walnuts:
cup walnut halves
teaspoon maple syrup
Pinch sea salt
- Combine cream, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks and allspice in a saucepan. Allow mixture to steam over low heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Right before mixture simmers, remove pan from heat and set aside, leting spices infuse for 30 minutes.
- Return pan to low heat and steam again; make slurry by dissolving cornstarch in carrot juice and whisk this into warmed cream mixture. Continue to whisk until mixture thickens and will hold a line drawn with finger on the back of a spoon.
- Strain mixture through a sieve into a glass container, like a quart Pyrex measure, pressing down on solids with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing wrap on surface of cream to prevent skin formation. Refrigerate until chilled, at least three hours.
- While ice cream base is chilling, make maple walnuts. Heat small frying pan over medium heat; add walnuts, and drizzle 1 t of maple syrup, tossing to coat. Sprinkle sea salt over nuts and toast, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. Allow nuts to cool, chop fine and store in an airtight container until ready to use. You can also make these a day in advance.
- When ready to make ice cream, finely grate carrot into a bowl. I found it easier to cut carrot in half first. Zest ½ of a navel orange into same bowl and set mixture aside. Save orange for another use.
- Add vanilla and mascarpone to ice cream base, whisking to combine thoroughly. Stir in grated carrot and zest. Pour mixture into ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. When your ice cream is the consistency of soft serve, add maple walnuts to machine. When finished, transfer ice cream to an airtight container and freeze longer for a firmer consistency. Note: This is best enjoyed soon after making it; since there is not a lot of sugar, prolonged freezing will result in a harder ice cream. To remedy, simply leave container out for ten minutes before serving. Enjoy!

My awesome neighbors across the street cut their tree down this past week. Our entire family (except for my youngest) helped them move the branches off their lawn and into a pile to be hauled away. My 5 year old was in heaven using his huge muscles to move the "big ones."
Because it's Texas and still very hot, all that work required the replenishing of fluids. I made a bunch of Gatorade for all the hard workers. Later in the week, I peeked outside to find my husband and oldest working out in our garage gym. More Gatorade. STAT.

'What Is At Stake With the Ergonomics of Guitar Design: Fretboard Cognition, Embodiment, Collective Intelligence', with special performances by Ratzo Harris and Dom Minasi.
Martin E. Rosenberg wrote his dissertation on the cultural work across the arts of the scientific concept of "emergence," beginning with Henri Poincaré, Henri Bergson, and Marcel Duchamp, and ending with Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Ilya Prigogine, Francisco Varela and Thomas Pynchon. He recently published on emergent behaviors, visible in music notation, in jazz improvisation and composition, and currently researches the cognitive neuro-science of improvisers. Originally trained in jazz composition at the Berklee College of Music, he has returned (after thirty years) to performing in the Pittsburgh area.
Ratzo Harris, one of the world's few six-string upright bassists, has had a stellar career as a jazz performer, composer, educator and journalist. His forty-year career as a performer includes recording and touring with Joe Henderson, Kenny Werner, Mose Allison, Joe Lovano, Bobby Hutcherson, Charles Lloyd, Jim Pepper, Bob Moses, Joanne Brakeen, Arturo O'Farrill, Betty Carter, Karl Berger, Lee Konitz, Jane Ira Bloom, Dave Liebman, and many, many others. His compositions have been recorded by pianist Kenny Werner, trombonists Bob Brookmeyer and Ed Neumeister, and guitarists Bruce Arnold and Royce Campbell, among others. Additionally, he has many performances and composing credits in film and television, as well as dance recitals. Harris has taught at many colleges and universities in Europe and the United States, including Rotterdam University and the University of Ludwigsburg, the New School for Jazz, New York University, the Manhattan School of Music, Berklee College of Music, Indiana University and Rutgers University. Although a high school dropout, he earned his Masters Degree from Rutgers in Jazz History under Coltrane biographer Lewis Porter, and is now considered an important emerging scholar. He currently writes a widely-acclaimed blog for NewMusicUSA, which appears every Friday: http://www.newmusicbox.org/articles/a-bird-uncaged/.
Dom Minasi has been a professional jazz guitarist, educator and composer for fifty years. Largely known as an avant-gardist who leans "outside," Minasi began his career as a mainstream jazz guitarist who worked with such luminaries as Arnie Lawrence, George Coleman, Frank Foster, Jimmy Heath and Dave Brubeck, and recorded several albums as a leader with Blue Note Records. Parallel to his performing career, Minasi has taught thousands of students, published a number
of music education books for both guitar and voice, and, in conjunction with his work teaching
song writing to youngsters through Young Audiences New York, has composed over three hundred children's songs. Inspired by the work of Roger Kellaway, Minasi began serious study of composition, contributing significantly to M.I.C.E. (Manhattan Improvisational Chamber Ensemble), which specialized in "through-composed" music with improvisation. He continues to compose all the music for his various current ensembles. He and his wife Carol Mennie formed CDM Records, and Minasi became a fixture in the avant-garde community with his acclaimed album Takin' The Duke Out: Live at the Knitting Factory (2001), which was followed by several others. In 2006 his most ambitious release in two discs, The Vampire's Revenge, was highlighted by a number of European and American journalists as one of the best recordings of 2006. Since 2006, he has released albums on re:KonstruKt Records: Dissonance Makes The Heart Grow Fonder (2009), The Bird, The Girl and the Donkey (2010); followed by a solo effort "Looking Out/Looking In." Nacht Records released Synchronicity (2011), with Creative Music Studio founder Karl Berger on vibes and piano, and he awaits the imminent release of a double disc of improvisations with Anthony Braxton, called A Moment in Time.
In 2013-14, CTM presents a series of lectures, workshops, & performances focusing on the cutting edge present and future of guitar and instrument design. Co-sponsored by Mannes School of Music, functioning as a platform to build cross divisional collaboration at The New School, and opening exclusive external collaborations, this series will bring internationally renowned luthiers, designers, builders, materials innovators, composers, performers, theorists, and sound designers together to explore points of connection between the traditions of musical instrument design and sound production, and new forms of design thinking facilitated by materials science, emergent materials, parametric design, the internet of things, physical computing, networked sound, and the politics of 'noise'.
In the fall of 2013, our first guests in this project include some of the most internationally recognized and innovative guitar designers of recent decades [with more guests TBA for Spring 2014]:
Ken Parker, Ned Steinberger, Ola Strandberg, and Gary Lee. As part of the series, CTM presents theorists and performers speaking on the current and future envelope of instrument design.

From story to product. From byline to bottom line.
Why Journopreneur?
The Workshop
Why me?
Why Journopreneur?
The world of journalism is changing.
Staff jobs are disappearing almost as fast as print readers and paid subscribers. Newspapers become less about news and less about paper. Audiences become less about reading, listening and viewing and more about participating and experiencing.
The world of journalism is full of opportunity.
Mighty media conglomerates, broadcasters and publishing houses still have power, but they now have to share it. Technology is creating a level playing field for publishers of all kinds of media: from crazy cat blogs to crowd-sourced investigative reporting. For every disappearing advertiser, there is a crowdfunder ready to invest, donate, sponsor or pay a dollar. Or ten. Or a thousand.
The world of journalism is increasingly competitive.
Despite the industry's transformation, media remains a popular area of study with tens of thousands of talented graduates joining the field each year. Like those affected by the ongoing redundancies in traditional media, most of them will – by choice or out of necessity – become freelancers.
The world of journalism needs journopreneurs.
With commissioning budgets slashed, content freely available, delivery models changing and pay models constantly reinvented, journalistic skills alone are no longer enough. In order to be successful and sustainable, independent journalists need to adopt more business skills and think like entrepreneurs. They need to become journopreneurs.

Colocation allows companies to enjoy more secure and resilient hosting, whilst eliminating the need for expensive self-provision of equipment such as generators and UPS as well as the need to provide trained staff 24 hours a day, to manage such facilities.
It really is as simple as that - you provide the server and at MaNOC we provide everything else: data centre, rack space, connection to the Internet, IP addresses, backup, DNS, email and anything else that is needed to meet your specific server co-location requirements.
You may or may not know what colocation means; the word is synonymously used with the different spellings of 'co-location' and 'collocation'; although 'colocation' is the most frequent spelling you will find on the net.
Colocation is used to mean the rental of space for your telecommunications equipment, mainly dedicated servers, in a service provider's data centre such as MaNOC in Manchester.
A data centre sometimes known as a colocation facility, is a network-connected secure managed facility for the housing of telecommunications and IT infrastructure. All you have to do is purchase a web server and we will house your server and connect you to the Internet via our network.
With MANOC your co-located server is housed in a state of art, fully secure data centre with UPS and a fire suppression system to ensure optimum performance for your server collocation.
Rest assured with MaNOC your servers are in safe hands. For further details on colocating at MaNOC please call 0800 954 8225.

I wasn't sure if I could do it, but I managed to sleep in today. Success!
I'll also be doing my best to take the day off practice, and have been contemplating Guruji's prescription for an oil bath:
Oil bath is a traditional, weekly Ayurvedic home remedy still practiced widely in South India. Sri K. Pattabhi Jois routinely recommends oil bath to his yoga students especially for the relief of back and knee pain as well as stiffness. Weekly oil bath reduces excess internal heat (pitta in Ayurveda) particularly in the joints, liver, and skin. This heat is generated by poor lifestyle, including consumption of oily, processed, and difficult to digest foods, alcohol and tobacco, in addition to stress, air pollution and inadequate sleep. This imbalance increases with the heat generated by yoga practice and hot climate. Eating an over-sufficiency of healthy foods that are deemed "heating" in Ayurvedic terms, also adds to this imbalance.Castor oil was traditionally used, but that can prove to be very messy and (apparently) nearly impossible to remove from your body without the mysterious "soap nut" and "green powder" mixture. The alternatives include using baking soda to remove the castor oil, or substituting almond oil, which can be removed with regular soap and water:
Excess heat can be felt in the joints as pain and stiffness and in the back, often in the lower right-hand side and hip, as a nearly debilitating pain. This heat also contributes to a short temper, burning anger, red skin, pinkish acne, and redness in the eyes. When a daily ashtanga yoga practitioner still carries extra weight, especially around the middle, has difficulty with weight loss or with digestion, and has a regularly sluggish bowel, these are all signs of surplus heat.
In India, oil bath is customarily taken with castor oil that is later removed from the skin and hair with a special herbal paste made of equal parts soap nut and green powders mixed with water. Castor oil delivers the best results, but is nearly impossible to remove without these powders. Guruji suggests that, after leaving India, the yoga student can replace castor oil with almond oil, which easily washes off with bath soap.I'll be giving the almond oil option a try this morning, then spend the rest of the day relaxing, reading and most likely watching the UFC fights from last night. I'm not sure what Guruji would think of the last bit, but I'd like to think he would appreciate the dedication, focus and challenges required in martial arts.
The above quoted text was borrowed from a super helpful article which includes step-by-step instructions for enjoying a safe, beneficial oil bath at home. Read it here.
I'll leave you with some inspiration in the form of a video I found last night featuring Sri K. Pattabhi Jois leading a master class that includes Chuck Miller, a yoga legend who will be coming to Vancouver in a few months. I'm hopeful that I can pull that workshop off, as my own teacher quotes him all the time and I'm sure I'd learn a lot from studying with him directly. I really love his dynamic transitions during this part of the the series (he's the guy with the beard):

Like all of Daiwa's Power Assist Reels, the Seaborg Megatwin SB500MT makes accessing the depths and landing big, great tasting game fish a breeze. But now, you can instantly shift between high-power and high-speed retrieve ranges. Bring up your rig at warp speed when it's time to change baits or move to another drop site. Shift into power mode to move large fish and keep the pressure on.

West Ham record signing Andy Carroll may not return to first team action until the end of January or early February, according to the clubs co-owner David Gold.
Gold tweeted that the striker is still three weeks away from full fitness and even then the crocked forward will still need to find match form to be able to last 90 minutes.
Carroll has been out since the end of last season and despite his injury the Hammers decided to spend £15million on the former Newcastle and Liverpool striker, with fans demand a vital part of it.
The East London club are struggling for goals despite netting thrice against West Brom yesterday, although the Baggies still stole a point from Upton Park heaping even more pressure on Sam Allardyce.
West Ham have made a striker their number one priority in January and they seriously need someone to drag them out of their current position, second bottom of the Premier League going into the new year with their next four games being away from home in all competitions.

Why don't your prospects buy? They have the problem and you have the solution, so why don't they buy? There are many reasons why, but generally it boils down to a few simple dynamics. First and foremost, when a prospect has a significant problem and we have the solution but they don't buy, the first thing we should do is look in the mirror. If we don't make the sale and we should, it's our fault. It's not the prospect. For starters, too many sales people are focused on their presentation. Their presentation is the focal point of the meeting and they fail to listen and hear the problem the prospect is detailing.
This leaves the prospect with that "piece of meat" feeling. They feel that all that's important to the sales person is their own agenda. In addition, when sales professionals focus on themselves and their agenda they miss vital details that can many times make or break the sale. Secondly, who was in control of the interview? Who asked most of the questions? Who gave most of the answers? He who gets his questions answered is in control. The sales professional should be the one asking all the questions and the prospect should be the one doing most of the talking. If it is in reverse order, the prospect is in control. One thought to keep in mind is this: If we are spilling all of our knowledge, experience and expertise out on the floor for all to see, hear and take, we run a very high risk of unpaid consulting.
The last time I checked, I didn't find any sales professionals that had won the noble peace prize for unpaid consulting. Yet many still do it. Last but not least, how did we behave? Did we act like every other sales person? Did we act like we needed to make a sale? Did we talk too much, launch into a presentation too fast or did we ask lame, canned, predictable questions that most likely the prospect has heard before? The bottom line is this: everything matters. We can truly only control one thing in the prospect interview, our behavior. If we act like a sales person we will be treated like one. If we aren't truly prospect focused, we can't build a mutually beneficial relationship. If it is not a relationship, it is merely a transaction.
There is no future in simple transactions; the future depends on relationships. It's not rocket science. It's simple communication and relationship dynamics that make our sales careers either a success or a colossal failure. The choice is yours.

Last night on the season opening episode of History's "Oak Island" they showed an interesting map of what purports to be Nova Scotia that is dated in Roman Numbers in the upper right corner to 1179. The person who brought the map to the production company's attention is a friend named Zena Halpern, who was featured in the show in a phone call. Zena and I, and this map, go back about 10 years when Zena first brought it to my attention in late 2008. What I'd like to do in this blog post is make clear a few facts about this map and be open to questions.
Before going any further, people need to understand this map is clearly a copy drawn on modern paper that at best, likely dates back to the late 1700's. Keep in mind this is a picture, or a copy, of the original. It could also be a second or third generation of a copy of the original, we simply don't know. This will no doubt lead skeptics to dismiss the map and it's obvious connection to the Knights Templar having been in North America over three hundred years before Columbus.
What first caught my attention were the two Hooked X's that appear on the map; one in the third X (Roman number 10) in the date in the upper right hand corner, and in the number 45 (XLV) just above the word "Nord" (North) on the center, right side of the map. The important thing is these two Hooked X's on the map appeared before I published my book, The Hooked X: Key to the Secret History of North America, in 2009. Prior to this, no one could have known of the direct connection I made of this symbol to the Knights Templar. In the book, I proposed the Kensington Rune Stone, with 22 Hooked X's, was a land claim placed by a party of Knights Templar traveling with a least one highly initiated Cistercian monk who likely authored the inscription. The presence of these two Hooked X's on this map, three years before my book was published, is powerful evidence consistent with a connection to the Templar's.
Another prominent feature of the map are numerous vertical lines, with Roman Numbers, that appear to indicate longitude. Skeptics are sure to complain that longitude was unknown in 1179 and argue it can't be an authentic map. I maintain the opposite could be true and the map appears to indicate that longitude was indeed known and was likely was part of secret knowledge known by the Templar's.
Zena graciously allowed me to publish part of this map in my latest book, Akhenaten to the Founding Fathers: The Mysteries of the Hooked X. Now that the complete map has been published on the show there is a lot more to talk about. You can be sure the Lagina brothers, and Zena, will have more to say on upcoming episodes of the show. There will also be more about Zena's research in her forthcoming book which should be published in the next six months.

The Trick To Slashing Your Bounce Rate
You know the old saying don't judge a book by its cover? I wish it applied to landing pages! You may have the best offer in the world, but if your website doesn't immediately engage your visitor, they'll put you down and pick someone else up. There's a well-known theory within landing page optimisation called 'The 5 Second Rule' that says this:
If your visitor can't tell exactly what you do or offer within 5 seconds of visiting your page, they'll bounce.
Google's job is to serve the most relevant and high quality websites to the user. If the vast majority of visitors leave within a couple of seconds, that says a lot about the value of that particular site. Bounce rate is a simple, but highly insightful metric, so you better pay attention to it.
So, you've got 5 seconds to communicate with your visitor. What do you do? The key lies in their eye pattern behaviour…
The example below is of a Google results page. Continual search engine use has conditioned us to look for information in an F shape. This is reinforced by the fact that if we do this, we find things quicker. Therefore when we visit websites, we apply the same principle. We're so used to fast information, that if we don't receive it, we leave.
Quite simply then, to ensure your visitor knows exactly what you do or offer put your key message where the eye is drawn the first – bang in the top middle of the page. A simple concept I know, but you'd be surprised just how many sites overlook it and pay the price with high bounce rates.

Homegrown Hops on Howell
My friends Matt and Angela have been brewing their own beer for a few years now — they rarely buy beer from the store, and you know you'll find at least one keg of homebrew at their annual super bowl party. (Here's two from last year's festivities.) After moving into their current house on Howell Ave. and finding out their neighbor grows hops for his own homebrew, they decided to add hops to their backyard garden plan. What better way to make your homebrew taste more homemade than with homegrown hops. To grow hops, you need a rhizome, which is a piece of the root of another female hop plant. You can buy online or use from an already established plant, as Matt and Angela did with a piece of their neighbor's hop plant. The rhizome should be planted in early Spring in full sun. The plant needs plenty of space and a fence, trellis or some sort of central pole for it to grow up. In Matt and...Read More

A purity ring is a ring that represents a promise, vow, commitment or goal to abstain from sex until marriage. Purity rings are typically worn on the left ring finger. It is significant, in the fact that it is the same finger on which a wedding ring is worn. It is to remind an individual their desire and goal to abstain from sex until marriage. Once marriage takes place, the purity ring is removed and replaced with a wedding ring.
History of the Purity Ring.

The origin of the word is French, and it initially meant "urchin." Applied to style, it refers to the iconic look,
defined by a boyish, youthful, naive style; it is always somewhat playful and mischievous but never frilly.
When I think about Gamine, always Audrey Tautou comes to mind in "Coco before Chanel" – simple classic pieces that are functional rather then decorative, everything having its purpose, carrying essense of menswear
but is very feminine at the same time. It's all about finding balance between practicality of menswear, boyshness and coy femininity.
Key pieces:
Striped sailor bateau top
Classic trench
Quilted bag
Capri pants
Baby doll dress
Boyfriend blazer
Wedge sandals
Cigarette pants

Most people sentenced to a jail term don't get to wait until they've fought in their most recent multi-million-dollar bout to start it.
They also don't get to leave early if being locked up has them feeling a little ill.
But that's reportedly what boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his lawyers are seeking. Mayweather's legal team filed an emergency motion 12 days into his three-month sentence, asking that the rest of his domestic battery term be served at home, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Mayweather is under "inhumane conditions," and he is physically deteriorating to the point that he may never fight again, lawyer Richard Wright said in the motion, according to the Review-Journal.
Mayweather is in his own cell due to his celebrity status, keeping him away from the general jail population, but that separation also puts him among felons in a lockdown section, according to the report. He has to stay in his cell 23 hours a day, and in his free hour he is not allowed to train. Others serving similar sentences would have access to those privileges.
"Administrative segregation threatens to end or shorten Mr. Mayweather's boxing career," the motion reportedly said, noting that a doctor "was concerned with Mr. Mayweather's dehydrated appearance, his lack of muscle tone and his dry mucus membranes."
After being sentenced to 90 days in jail in September 2010, Mayweather finally started his sentence on June 1, 2012.
Prosecutors are expected to turn down the request, although it does appear to being a bit more than Mayweather missing his customized training and silver spoon.

A cancer diagnosis can be challenging in many ways. The news can be shocking, and it can be hard to process a lot of information when your emotions are running high. It is not unusual to feel confused and overwhelmed. Here are some tips that have helped other patients to get through the next steps.
• Write it down. Dedicate a special notebook to take to all of your physician appointments. You'll be taking in a lot of information at once, and it will help to have the notes later when trying to share details with family members or other physician offices. You'll also want to have your calendar or datebook with you for making appointments.
• Make notes at home, too. You'll think of questions at the oddest times – in the kitchen, in the shower, late at night. Write these down in your notebook, and also record side effects or symptoms that you want to discuss with your doctor.
• Take someone with you, if possible. It can help to have a friend or family member with you at your appointments, especially when you are first starting treatment. They might hear things you don't catch, or think of a question that hasn't occurred to you yet.
• Don't be afraid to ask – and ask again. Your physician and other healthcare providers want to be sure that your questions are answered thoroughly. You are not expected to understand technical medical terms or to remember everything the first time around. Ask questions, and if you don't understand or don't remember the answer, ask again.
• There is lots of good information out there – and some not so good. Learning more about your condition can be helpful, but remember that not everything you read, especially on the internet, is factual. Ask your doctor for recommendations on the best resources. Also, keep in mind that even the most credible websites provide very general information that may not be specific to your unique case. Don't panic if you see something that concerns you – instead, make a note to ask your doctor about it.
• Tell someone. It's understandable to want to keep your health status private, but don't close yourself off from those who truly care. The support of family and friends can have a tremendous impact on your overall health.
• Put yourself first. Take the very best care of yourself that you can. Eat nutritious meals, exercise (with your doctor's permission), and try your best to get a good night's sleep. Feel free to say "no" to tasks or obligations that cause excess stress. Focus on the things that you can control, and let go of the things you can't.
• Accept help. Friends and family members will ask if they can do anything to help you. Even if you are the type of person who never leans on others, your number one priority needs to be caring for yourself right now. If that means accepting a ride to an appointment, or a little help around the house, consider it. Maybe you'll be able to return the favor someday.
Dealing with a cancer diagnosis is never easy, but we are here to help you get through it. Contact us with questions or any time we can be of service.

Syracuse University Library's Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) has amassed a fine collection of graphic novels, or novels without words. Striking specimens of the genre from the 1920s and 1930s are now on view in an SCRC exhibition entitled The Silent Scream: Conflict in Novels without Words. Selections for display were made in keeping with this year's Syracuse Symposium theme: "conflict."
In addition to conflict, novels without words often portray a quest for self-fulfillment or social justice. Because of their historical context, they may also depict the struggle between the individual and the industrialized world. Similarly, the law, the police, and the armed forces may all be viewed as instruments of repression in graphic novels.
The artists represented are William Gropper (1897-1977), a caricaturist, cartoonist, book illustrator, and social activist in the causes of labor; Laurence Hyde (1914-1987), who produced wood engravings and linocuts for books, as well as pen-and-ink illustrations for various left-wing journals; Frans Masereel (1889-1972), creator of stark and moving woodcuts; Giacomo Patri (1898-1978), who helped to promote the growing labor movement through illustration of union organizing pamphlets; John Vassos (1898-1985), commercial artist and book illustrator; and Lynd Ward (1905-1985), wood engraver known for his portrayal of quests after social justice and the fulfillment of human and artistic potential.
The exhibition is free and open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, excepting holidays, on the sixth floor of Bird Library on the Syracuse University campus.

It's that time again, folks! Brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish, this post will be about resources that make my life easier as a blogger!
1. Friends – Professors have always taught me to write about what I know, therefore many of my posts relate to my friends or family. Without them I really wouldn't have much to write about. As they build me up or tear me down I learn more about myself and my place in life.
2. Coffee – Writing this now wouldn't be happening this early (10am) without my best friend: Coffee. I have a mug of freshly brewed coffee pretty much every time I sit down to write.
3. My Book Club – The ladies that form this group are spectacular. Although we're all still getting to know each other, I respect their opinions and recommendations when it comes to the next-best-thing (I'll forgive and forget the Inkheart incident). This evening we're having our second meeting down at Stephanie's house and I can't wait!
4. WordPress – This blogging site has been a non-intimidating way to start a blog. The admin controls are relatively straightforward which allows me to focus on what really matters: the writing.
5. Lauren @ Books, Tea & Me – Lauren is one of the greatest people I know. Her blog (previously linked) is a testament to not only her abilities as a writer, but her true love of books, which is something we have bonded over throughout our friendship (see: reading Breaking Dawn instead of actually working). Her confidence in our friendship inspires me to be a better friend. Although she sometimes gets frazzled, she knows she can count on me to support her in the same way she does for me. Lauren? I'll love you forever. You are the definition of a best friend.
6. My lovely followers – Every time I open up my page and see that someone has stopped by to read a post, or have signed up to receive notifications when I publish something… THAT FEELING! It makes me feel like I'm not just writing for myself anymore. People, like you, are enjoying my style of writing. Maybe that means you feel the way I feel about things? Or that you sympathize with my sometimes messed up life? Either way, I'm truly grateful for you all – Thank you 🙂
OKAY – So I know its 'Top TEN Tuesday' but I can really only think of 6… Think of your own list and post it!

Featured Career: Executive Assistant
August 14, 2009
Executive Assistant
Executive Assistants are a step up on the job ladder from Administrative Assistants. Like Administrative Assistants, they perform a variety of administrative and clerical duties necessary to run an organization efficiently. Executive Assistants, however, usually support a high ranking executive or will serve multiple managers. They will also aid in more advanced responsibilities, like researching, letter drafting, even marketing and sales assistance.
All administrative work takes a great deal of dedication, motivation and tact. It also calls for a comfort with technology and openness to training. When figuring out if becoming an Executive Assistant is the best fit for you, ask and answer the following questions:
- • Can you keep close track of confidential information?
- • Can you multitask with great accuracy and attention to detail?
- • Does working with a team and supporting many people excite you?
- • Do I enjoy changing gears on a moment's notice?
Median Salary
Education Requirements
An Executive Assistant must have a high school degree or equivalent certification. More than ever, however, employers are demanding advanced degrees from all Executive Assistants. Two options are earning either your Associates Degree or Bachelors Degree. The most popular tracks are Office Skills or Business Administration, or a degree in a field applicable to the organization you are working in, such as Finance and Accounting, Information Technology, Marketing, etc.
Job Outlook
In 2006, the Bureau of Labor Statistics cites that there were 1,618,000 executive assistants and administrative assistants in the U.S. By 2016, this number is projected to grow by 15% or 239,000 jobs to 1,857,000 executive assistants. This is faster than the average for all jobs in the U.S., which means the opportunities in this area are plentiful.
