Dear Lee Street Staff and Families,
It is with great honor and excitement that I introduce myself as the new principal of Lee Street Elementary School. My passion for education and supporting the success of all students has been shaped over the past twenty-two years as a teacher, literacy coach, assistant principal, and principal. In each of these roles, I have worked to ensure the success of each student and the school by working with teams of great educators to provide the best instructional practices and learning opportunities. I have learned over the years that it truly takes a village to raise a child. I have three children and it has been the support of family, friends, and relationships with their teachers and other school staff that has provided them with the support they needed to be successful. As principal of Lee Street Elementary, I plan to serve in a role of support for all students, families, and staff members. I believe that we can achieve academic success for each of our students through collaboration and effective communication. I also believe that all children can learn and with staff members, parents, administration, and community stakeholders working together, we can accomplish so many great things for our students.
A well-rounded education means outstanding instruction from top-notch teachers instructing daily, providing students with a variety of educational experiences. Teachers need support and the opportunity to create great lessons that they love to teach to their students. Their ideas are invaluable and stimulate the growth that is required for academic excellence to occur at an appropriate rate for our students. Collaboratively planning with all staff members will be the culture of our school, centering all ideas, procedures, and school initiatives on what's best for our students.
It is extremely important for parents to visit the school and share in your child's educational experience. We are stronger working together and our students will reap the great benefits of our collaboration and support in providing them a quality education. Parental engagement is a major key to successful students and a school of excellence. I invite all parents to become parent volunteers because students love to see their parents at their school and teachers greatly appreciate your support.
Safety of all students and staff members is very important for learning to take place daily. Students and staff members perform better daily in a safe, caring, and clean environment. I will work closely with staff members to ensure that all students receive a quality education daily at Lee Street Elementary. I have attached a plan of action for building upon the current traditions and culture of our school that is a historic school within the Jonesboro community. I consider it a blessing to be afforded the opportunity to work with Lee Street Elementary families and staff. I'm looking forward to a great year ahead of us! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or ideas you would like to share with me.
Ms. Rochelle Taylor

Jessica Biel's Trainer Jason Walsh Circuit Workout
Circuit Workout by Celebrity Trainer Jason Walsh
Since you all chose Jessica Biel's trainer Jason Walsh as your favorite celebrity trainer, I asked him to share a workout with us.
Jason thought this three part circuit workout that he does with his clients would be fun for us too. It will get your heart rate up and strengthen your body at the same time. That is what I call a win-win workout. It is full of mutli-joint exercises that work more than one muscle group at a time and the more muscle you use in a movement the more oxygen you need for those working muscles.
Keep track of your rest times and weights, so you can decrease the rest time and increase the weights from week to week. If you are new to weight training, Jason recommends starting with no weights and 1 min rest between sets. On the flip side, decrease the rest time if it feels too easy, but remember you have a lot to do so don't get ahead of yourself.
You will need: dumbbells (DB) or a medicine ball (MB), a step ( I used one of my daughters' kiddie chairs), and a pull up bar or lat machine (if you are trying this at home just improvise – I used the top of a door jam with a chair and did super slow supported pull-ups). This circuit take 25 to 30 minutes to perform depending on how long you rest in between sets.
|Warm up
|Active Stretch
|5 to 10 minutes light to moderate cardio
|Circuit 1
|Repeat 3 times ( rest :60 between sets)
|Side Planks
|Hold :30 each side
|Jump squats
|15 reps
|Push ups (use knees if necessary)
|10 reps
|Circuit 2
|Repeat 3 times ( rest :60 between sets)
|Squat to press (DB or MB)
|15 reps
|Pull ups or Lat pulldowns
|10 reps
|Bent over rows (DB)
|15 reps
|Circuit 3
|Repeat 3 times ( rest :60 between sets)
|Lateral lunge
|10 reps each leg
|Step ups (onto bench)
|10 each leg
|Straight leg sit ups
|15 reps
I just did this workout, started with 10 minutes on the elliptical to warm up, stretched and then went for it. It was fun and challenging and I feel like my entire body got worked! Just a word of caution for those with lower back problems: straight leg sit ups can put a lot of pressure on the lumbar spine, try 90 seconds of crunches instead. Try it and let me know what you think in the comment section below.

So, this is a "best guess" post.
It goes back to mid to late 1989. Think I described this elsewhere on this blog, but am going to do it again rather than link back.
After a disagreement with a co-worker (whom they more recently tried to direct my ire toward), I was sitting alone in the student center. I'm guessing this was before school started at Drew University because the place was empty. As I noted before, I "felt" as if a gun were put to the left side of my head and there was a tingly sensation on the right as if someone had sort of pulled the trigger. At the time and for several years after, I just didn't know what to make of it. Still don't entirely, but since I don't believe in voodoo, I'm going with hypnosis.
The question then becomes, when and how was I hypnotized. As I recall, the confrontation and subsequent violent event occurred in the evening during a stage set changeover. The phony voodoo event occurred during daylight, and so I think it was the next day or perhaps two days after. Therefore, the most likely time for planting suggestions would be while sleeping.
Since the Frey effect was demonstrated in 1973 and 1974, and this is sixteen or fifteen years later, I'm going with remote "synthetic telepathy" while sleeping. The suggestion planted, it triggered later in the day while awake.
But that got me thinking. What if some of the other experiences, the shark and mushroom clouds for example, were also done that way. What if that Sony thing is not operational yet, merely the product of a combination of drugs increasing trust (oxytocin levels?) with voice-to-skull suggesting I will "see" it?
I was very sleep-deprived also at that time. I saw, as I said, on two occasions, people walking out of the corner of my eye only to look up seconds later to see no one around at all. I chalked that up to lack of sleep also (wake dreaming, brain trying to catch up on what REM provides) but why not hypnosis instead?
Then there was the period (2010, I think, but cannot recall exactly when, might have been early 2011) when, while typing up some posts like these, I had a great deal of trouble with verb tenses. Let me be more specific… though I was detailing things that happened in the past, I felt forced to use the present tense. It was quite a while after that happened, and I tried partly in vain to rewrite some of those in past tense, that I realized where I had seen that idea before. Hypnosis.
And so the list goes on and on. Some of the thoughts in that deli were not mine, not what I would have been thinking. And, the ridiculous puppet show of the owner telling me to have a seat just before that encounter. Completely staged without most or all of the participants realizing it. But was that "on the spot" suggestion or had someone gone to the trouble of planting it the night before? Don't know.
EDIT: Of course there's a hole here. I don't think you can "talk" a dog into being on the wrong road at the wrong time. Yeah, the Sony thing must work. "Upload" a fake odor electronically and the dog will go wherever you want when you want. Maybe a faux sound, though, or a real one beyond human range. Then make sure your puppet driver is in the vicinity. END EDIT
And, though I've alluded to it before, it seems incredibly dumb or brazen for CIA to be using things that they researched, that are so obviously from the old programs:
6. Materials which will render the induction of hypnosis easier or otherwise enhance its usefulness.
I don't say that means it isn't, but I do say it would tend to point to someone who has a grudge or is a competitor, whether that's another agency, a subcontractor who wants more of the work, or one who is not happy about where he wound up.
You can see why someone might think actors would be good subjects for this. It's like taking direction, doing a performance. Of course when you choose people who like to improvise, who for whatever reason have authority issues, it might not have been a good idea. You know, the actor's revenge.

"Speaking of St. Martin, he was not at practice today, and a source close to the team told us that the Lions will be snagging us fans an early Christmas present. We were sworn to silence, but I can say that there are going to be a lot of smiles in Motown in a matter of days"
This was reported by Michael Stubbs from bleacherreport.com.
Since this was posted I have been very interested in who it is I will be smiling about. But this wait is killing me and the report of who is coming is long over due. As a fan from Cincinnati I don't hear insider reports much other than what I read.
Does anyone know who this might be?
And just to make the tread more interesting; who, Lions fans, are you hoping this present will be?

Trailer break-ins and story plotlines stop The Office star from wearing jewelry to work
Jenna Fischer may not wear a special piece of jewelry on her ring finger all the time – but that doesn't mean she's not happily engaged.
"I always see these tabloid reports about certain people being 'Spotted Without Their Wedding Ring!' like it's some big deal," Fischer, 35, writes on her MySpace page, where she answers questions from fans.
The Office star, who plans to tie the knot with writer Lee Kirk, says she doesn't wear any jewelry to work – including her engagement ring – because she "would have to take it off and leave it in my trailer, which I would never do."
"They aren't that secure," Fischer explains. "Break-ins happen all the time. So if I go someplace after work I could be 'spotted' without my ring. It means nothing."
Security reasons aside, the actress says she has another ring to wear while working on The Office set.
"Pam has her own engagement ring. She actually has two!" Fischer says about her character, Pam Beesley. "Most people do not wear their own wedding rings while they are working – this includes TV, movies and photo shoots for magazines."
As for what's in store for the upcoming season of the Emmy-nominated show, "[It] will pick up in real time," says Fischer. "Pam is just out of her first trimester but isn't really showing yet. The cool part about playing Pregnant Pam is that my real-life sister Emily is pregnant I find out how she's feeling, what she's going through. It's the best resource ever!"

Kristine wants and needs somebody to look after and so does Krogstad, that's why they work. The purpose is, nevertheless, that in those same areas there will be costlier houses in nice, leafy lanes, with massive gardens, garages and out-buildings, that may still value only a fraction of what it costs to purchase a small terraced home right here within the south-east. In case your debts are a lot more than you'll be able to afford, it is unlikely that chapter will end up saving the house.
I am not ashamed of leaving my house as a result of I can make my home anywhere i need. We can't know what Mister McQueen's actual estate plans are until he rings up Your Mama to tell us, so till then we'll assume he is transferring to bigger digs. New development was accomplished in '08 and it was listed for sale in early '15 – overpriced at $4MM.
I am simply saying, there are some belongings you simply mustn't do in case you go to a haunted home. The offensive Agent blocked them all the way, to the purpose where they may not even get into the Home. I don't suppose we have the funds to do any majour work to the home to forestall damp in walls but it surely does appear like there is rising damp or damp coming in from the skin. We moved out of the home two years in the past and rented it till earlier this summer. Even the soil went, leaving Yang Wu's home perched precariously on a mound of earth over the 10-17m deep construction web site. If the problem has been brought on by rising damp, nonetheless, it is strongly suggested that all outdated plasterwork, which can contain the moisture-attracting hygroscopic salts, is eliminated. At one time, I wouldn't have left the house except every part had been good.
My question is that if we dont get qualified for loan modification and are forced to do short sale. And even in newer many years in nations akin to China, there might have been no such concept as a nail home. My brother in legislation introduced a house 5 yrs never was fastened mortage his intrest price is 9.5 % he hardly in a position to pay his mortage he lost his f/t job he mortage payment went from 1296.00 to 1900.00 as a result of BOA paid the taxes he been working.
Had a purchaser all ready and the stunning credit union refused to lift the lien on the home even after negotiations with my mortgage company, they were advised that the financial institution wants the home to foreclose they do not want to settle at all, regardless of the quantity. I've discovered a lot and benefited from others who've written about their experiences, but I've received a couple of things (cold mountain weather mixed with a very off grid tiny home) that most people don't have a lot experience with, or no less than haven't written much about online. If I have been you, I'd stop paying on the house and start saving that cash for shifting bills.

Taking us to the future
If you are a fan of Portable Warfare, as I am, you'll know that keeping the gaming in mind is what first attracts you to the brand. I too was attracted by Chris' understanding and support of the industry. He did so with great products, the APC and the Sergeant. As with many gamers, life creeps up on us and we have to change directions. That's where I come in. My name is Karl Pajak. I've been in the gaming industry for over 40 years. Typically, I was a behind the scenes guy, hosting games at local game stores, volunteering for game companies to host their games, volunteering at game conventions, and more. I had a frank discussion with Chris, and we came to an agreement and I've purchased Portable Warfare from him. I'm a package deal though, my business partner in this venture is Tim Martin, more of a painter than a gamer but he does game too. Together we bring design talents and a desire to continue that tradition set for us by Chris. And mind you, those traditions are our core principles: Understanding what gamers and hobby enthusiasts want, supporting them regardless of the effort and cost, and bringing a solid product to the market. I was using the Sergeant before I was part of the company, and I'm proud to be the one to carry the torch forward.
We have continued to partner with PHD, so that we can supply you with the Blü foam, such a great product. The rounded corners aid in tray removal from inside the Portable Warfare bags. The sturdy base supports the tray and gives it just enough rigidity to make the tray a tool to port miniatures to the game table.
As we move forward into the future with new products, we hope you'll join us for the great things we have in store for you. Always feel free to drop us a line.
Karl Pajak
President / Portable Warfare, Inc.

Birdman Lyrics
Get It All Together Lyrics
[Chorus x2: Baby]
Shit, we tryin' to get it all together
And spend a lil chaddar and fly in any weather nigga
And homie you get the money and the power
Then them hoes come and holla and fly in any weather pimpin'
I see you haters, hatin' on the way a nigga think
But I'm laughing, laughing all the way to the bank
And I, I kinda act like my shit don't stink
On a toilet with the burner taped under the sink
Like a Russian I'll rullet the bullet
Yea straight to ya head give a nigga a mullet
I'm a Cash Money brother a lover of money
Yea the tummy is showin' but the hunger is growin'
What part cha' don't understand
What you ain't know I'm like Kobe
You niggaz can't check me go head Bowens
And I never left the team cause I'm catchin' every pass
Stunna McNabb yeah he like go head Owens yea
Bet I'd put a nigga on his ass
Squlou and Big Whop make show he don't last
And young Wayne do song about the story
With Birdman singin' on the chorus, nigga
Look, a ticket here and a ticket there
And I'm the first out the hood to get rich nigga still here
Its big paper in the prime of my life my nigga
We take it off ya' shoulder broad daylight my nigga
It's Stunna Island biggest baler in the city
The Range Rover rally strip on them 26's
Gucci down when the Birdman in ya' town
We blow out the pound rollin' through Uptown
Canary yellow Cash Money iced out piece
Like father, like son we beasts on these streets
Well let me bring you back to 1993
Where I met four lil niggaz in the 3
We got big, we grinded in them city streets
And three left and they all tryin' na beef me
There's one Birdman and one J.R
We neighborhood superstars f*ck y'all
Murcing every murderer
In the garden I'm burstin' hittin' serpents up
And in the Carter we still workin' with that work for ya'
I'm the God and the turban fits perfect, word
Puffing' on that precious piff purple herb swerve
Dang, -is on the curve
The fed's walkin' so I'm talking with slurge
And we never sell a bird to a mockingbird
We find out where you stay and we mark your turf
Lace ya' house with a bomb make you walk in first
Oh, and ya' is sharp with hers
She cook a nigga steaks and cool-aid for thirst, yeah

We really never show it but everybody know it
And Slim askin' me to focus on the flow
While I'm tryin' to have coke for the low on the low, man

In the past it was sufficient to have managed a website to showcase your brand online. But that was while we were still getting into Web 1.0. Like anything, development has affected the web and the realisation that what makes the web so interesting is not just access to information but that it is a two way communication tool able to connect the masses while still being able to hear the individual. Welcome to Web 2.0, a combination of static and dynamic content, conversations and responses. These conversations are ongoing whether you are part of them or not. The only way to influence those conversations is to be part of them. The more engaging your involvement the more you are able to influence the content to your advantage. The more you are involved, the more you are part of the ongoing conversation in your absence.
The extent of tools and platforms available are extensive, so a clearly defined strategy to utilise the most important to reach the existing and desired markets are critical.
The argument as to whether to be a part of social messaging or not has been long forgotten. It is now part of the de facto marketing mix. "That you should be part of SM" has been replaced with "How should you be involved with SM". The platform choice, implementation strategy and content development are vital to a successful outcome.

I'm back home and ready to share my latest card. I'm dedicating this card to my two friends, Lisa and Gerrie, who are celebrating their birthdays this weekend. This weeks Bloggers Challenge is "They say it's your birthday."
I based my layout on the Marks Finest Papers Sketch With a Twist challenge, the twist is to use green. I did turn the sketch on its side.
To make my card, I started with the background panel. I used a bubbles stencil and sprayed it with several colors of Dylusions sprays. Then I embossed the panel with the candles. I highlighted the candles with iced spruce distress ink. The candle is Tim Holtz's cupcake minus the candle (too tall for the card). I substituted a strawberry (Kitchen Sink Stamps) on the top. The cupcake wrapper is paperpieced. The frosting is covered with sprinkles --well, glass glitter and distress rock candy glitter.
Lisa and Gerrie, I hope your birthday is as wonderful as you are!

Object Poem:Mirror Transcriptions:'Waiting for Godot'
It's difficult to write any exact descriptions of this 'bookish' project apart from recognizing that the very process has reinforced the layered absurdest nature of Beckett's play. Perhaps in terms of process it parallels the concept that underpins the outcome of the Gestalt exercise of making a line drawing copy of any image that is inverted. The copy of an image translated from an inverted position will often produce a more accurate proportional drawing in comparison to the image copied from its correct position. For the Gestalt theorists understanding comes from presenting the familiar through unfamiliar forms. These pages seem to sway between both.

14th Edition – 02/02/2004
Life is beautiful…but it's also unfair. Believe me, I know. Especially since I'm a Libra. See, if you're into astrology, then you know that Libras are all about fairness and balance. It's a concept that I believe in and live by. However, as everyone is aware, life has it's own set of rules. It sucks, but the trick to dealing with it is accepting how unfair life can be before the unthinkable happens (missing Game 6 of the '98 Finals because you had to go to your final review for your Statistics exam…I'm still bitter.) and then…just rolling with the punches. Still, there are times when things occur that are SO UNFAIR that nothing seems to be a justifiable explanation. Like people having to watch the Patriots and Panthers play in the Super Bowl (of all games…THE SUPER BOWL!), and the injustice that was committed against Byron Scott.
Talk about hangin' a guy out to dry…
After leading the New Jersey Nets to two consecutive NBA Finals, Scott was eligible for a contract extension. You would think such an accomplishment would be enough, but it wasn't. And the extension never came. But what did were questions; some of which included whether former assistant Eddie Jordan really deserved the coaching credit, Scott's decision-making against the Spurs in the Finals, and if his "rocky relationship" with all-star guard Jason Kidd would result in him bolting New Jersey? With so much in limbo, especially the latter, it was clear to everyone what was going to happen. Despite signing Kidd (unrestricted free agent), Nets' President Rod Thorn had no intention of bringing Scott back once his contract expired. So instead of being straight with him, Thorn allowed Scott to enter the 03-04 season at "lame duck" status. And we all know what that means…mutiny.
Right on cue, the Nets began to systematically tank the season. The two-time defending Eastern Conference Champions are barely hovering above .500. With the miserable state of the east, that type of win-loss record is inexcusable. They've had loses by 47 and 21 to Memphis and Miami respectively, as well as some other perplexing defeats this season, it was quite obvious (to me) what was going on. And as much as Jason Kidd wants to deny it, he played a major role in this episode of "Shaft."
Since he re-signed, Kidd's been in Rod Thorn's ear about his displeasure with Scott on several occasions. Rumor is he displayed little to no reverence to his head coach in the locker room, which probably did wonders for Scott's reputation with the other players. Kidd also MADE Thorn gamble on Alonzo Mourning, which resulted in the buyout of Dikembe Mutombo's contract for around $25 million. Unfortunately, Mourning was forced to retire due to his kidney ailment and because they paid Mutombo to go away, the Nets have no size and are the third worst rebounding team in the league.
At any rate, we enter the Lawrence Frank Era (which, by the way, won't cross the Brooklyn Bridge). Now we'll see how the Nets perform since their "deterrent," who happens to be the franchise's most successful coach has been pink slipped. Call it a hunch, but I'm betting they don't even make the Finals this year. Now wouldn't that be justice…and beautiful?
Rick Fox is out, Shaq's out, Shaq comes back, Karl Malone's out, Shaq's out again, Kobe's out, Kobe's back, Shaq and Fox are back, Malone's still out and his return is up in the air, and now Kobe's out again because of a lacerated finger. Are the basketball gods trying to tell us something?
Darius Miles better hope this new flick he's starring in has a better turnout than his career (I guess I can't forget the obligatory "so far"). After floundering in Cleveland, the Cavs shipped him off to Portland for essentially nothing (Jeff McInnis and Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje). Who would've ever thought that a player would be longing for the days when they were a Clipper?
After departing New Jersey–rumor is the Coaching Grim Reaper just boarded a flight leaving Boston (resigned/fired, in this case–it didn't matter) and is headed towards Philly. Randy Ayers…and to quote the Soup Nazi, you're "NEXT!!"
Two years ago, who would've thought that Carlos Boozer would have a more promising NBA future than Jay Williams? Life is ill.
Unfortunately for Celtics forward Vin Baker, I think he probably drank away the rest of his professional career. Hopefully he can get the rest of his life together.
Was that Darrell Armstrong who dropped 35…against the Spurs…on the road…for a win? And this is the same guy that the Orlando Magic said was finished?
I just found out that tickets to the All-Star game aren't available to the public. Why?
Memo to all perimeter defenders: MICHAEL REDD CAN SHOOT–GUARD HIM!!
Ron Artest just released a mixtape with Canibus called Truwarier All-Stars. Just what the STRUGGLING rap game needed–another ball player who CAN'T rhyme.
Some say Tim Duncan may be more dominant… Yao Ming trumps him as a starter in the All-Star game–again… he can't play a full season anymore… are the Lakers willing to invest so much money into an all of a sudden "injury prone" player? For Shaq, it seems like times they are a changin'. Are we witnessing the decline of Shaquille O'Neal?

For example, you could rinse the cartridges with distilled water and refill with Epson ink recovered from "empty" OEM cartridges or fill with an ink of your choice.
This kit can be used to repair or maintain your Epson printer.
PiezoFlush is an effective cleaning and storage fluid.
- PiezoFlush can be used as a preventative maintenance routine to ensure longer life of the physical ink delivery system of your printer.
- It can be used to safely store a printer that will not be used for 4 weeks or more - and is safe to keep in a printer for a year or more.
- It can be used to repair stubborn clogged nozzles or fouled ink exchangers.
- It is very effective in removing residual pigment stain when changing from color to Piezography monochromatic inks.
- head contact with the media
- a physical obstruction such as lint, hair, (you would be surprised what can get on there...)
- dried ink due to low humidity conditions or leaks of air into the capping station
- streaks of ink left on the print head after it is wiped by the wiper blade during a clean operation; due either to
- the buildup of ink on the wiper blade
- cupping of the wiper blade
- buildup of ink on the surface of the print head
- behind the surface of the jets such as in the tiny ink channel inside the print head
- just behind the print head where ink flows from the ink exchanger into the print head
- in the ink exchanger where the ink lines feed into the filters and dampers from the cartridge
- in the filters and dampers
PiezoFlush solution was invented by and is manufactured by InkjetMall. This is an innovative solution that can be used to clean inkjet printers, flush inks from systems, or be used to safely store inkjet printers with a solution that does not promote drying out of the inkjet heads. It has been formulated for Epson and other piezoelectric inkjet heads and includes a pink colorizing agent so that when printing nozzle checks, the user can "see" the nozzle check patterns print.
There are two types of permanent clogs of which one is easier to remedy than the other. The easiest clog to repair is an external clog on the surface of the print head. In most cases this type of clog is due to
If a clog permanently appears in a location that can not be remedied by external cleaning, then the clog may be located
PiezoFlush is usually successful when filled into cartridges and applied using the INIT FILL, allowing a rest period of from 24-48 hours, and then pulling out dissolved matter using a second INIT FILL. A nozzle test at that point should reveal a fully printed pink nozzle check (PiezoFlush is stained pink). If there is no change in the blockage, then it is possible that these jets are electronically dead.
PiezoFlush is more difficult to administer to the black channel in printers which use the same ink channel for both the MK and PK (which is nearly all Pro or Photo printers that use remote ink tanks (remote means that the inkjet cartridge is not actually riding back and forth on the print head). In this case, the MK and PK share an ink exchanger using a pair of valves, so that what affects MK affects PK and visa versa. To be successful with a black ink blockage PiezoFlush would need to be administered using both a MK and a PK cartridge, running INIT FILL procedures in both ink modes, potentially twice, in order to determine by nozzle check if the blockage is repaired. We have a guide that explains how to perform the INIT FILL in the instructions tab of this product.
The cost of performing an INIT FILL 4 times on large format printers can waste more expensive ink than the cost of a new ink exchanger. An ink exchanger is difficult to install yourself the first time. If you are mechanically inclined or want to learn how to be, it is possible to replace the ink exchanger by downloading the Field Service Manual for your model printer and following the step-by-step photo illustrations. These PDFs are produced by Epson for their service repair technicians. They can be located on the Internet or can be purchased from a users manual .com website such as 2manuals which sells repair manuals for nearly every appliance and device.
Unfortunately, there is no substitute for the INIT FILL procedure which drains the ink from all the ink lines of a printer and replaces it with whatever fluid is installed where the ink cartridges are. In most cases of attempting to repair an internally clogged printer there are usually both ink cartridges and PiezoFlush cartridges installed. There is no way to avoid expensive ink wastage. For example there is no single ink line INIT FILL. Printing with PiezoFlush is not likely to remove an internal clog. And while it is possible to flush ink lines using single channel print outs, printing PiezoFlush does not usually remove an internal clog because the forces exerted to the internal ink system during printing are micro-minute in comparison to the strong force produced by the suction pump during the INIT FILL.
On the positive side of things, you can use an INIT FILL opportunity to first remove and gently shake any ink cartridges that are going to left in place during the INIT FILL. This benefits the printer by bringing fresher, re-suspended pigment ink to the print head which can actually improve the printed quality or color management of your output. Likewise, applying PiezoFlush to all of your ink channels is an outstanding preventative maintenance strategy that dissolves agglomerated pigment matter that adheres to ink lines, filters and dampers, and ink channels. And if you have been printing with old outdated inks (and this may be a cause of your problems in the first place), take this opportunity to replace the inks in your printer. That may include draining your existing ink cartridges and flushing them with distilled water and allowing them to drain nearly dry before using newly purchased inks. Both your printer and your output (possibly your clients) will thank you.

How I Came to Faith
I remember repenting of my sin and putting my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior when I was six years old. God really used my parents; I thank God for my biblical up-bringing. They built a foundation for sound biblical doctrine; I can't thank them enough for this. During my childhood, I listened to many teaching tapes with my parents; this also helped build the foundation for my Christian life.
I was a good kid until my teenage years. My parents impressed upon me the importance of having Christian friends. I did not listen. This was the beginning of my sliding. I got into pot and alcohol in high school but was pretty good at keeping this a secret from my parents.
On February 14, 1991, I was stopped by the police and spent a night in jail. For years, God had been convicting me of my sin. Perhaps my earlier profession of faith was not genuine. That night the Lord graciously set His heavy, loving hand upon me. God made clear to me, bringing to mind Joshua 24, that I had to choose Him or the world. I repented of my sin and gave my entire life over to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
From that wonderful Valentine's Day to the present, I have had a deep desire and commitment to read, study, teach, preach and share God's written Word. Jesus Christ became my life. As I have grown in my relationship with Jesus Christ, He has continually shown me that I am not adequate, but that He is.
How God has Gifted Me
I believe that God has blessed me with the spiritual gifting of pastor/teacher. Besides a great love for teaching, I have a special joy and delight in proclaiming His written Word through preaching. I praise Him for the great blessing of serving with these gifts by His power and strength alone.
Training and Experience God has Blessed Me With
After graduating from San Jose State University, CA with a B.S. in Aeronautics and before attending Western Seminary, I was a corporate pilot for six years in the San Francisco Bay Area. During that time God was impressing on my heart that He was calling me to preach and teach His written Word. While attending Peninsula Bible Church in Palo Alto, CA, God began to provide various opportunities for me to study and teach His written Word. Also, while serving there I was discipled by Ron Ritchie (not Bill Ritchie) and met Hillary, my wife. In 1996, my wife and I felt led to begin full time seminary studies at Western Seminary's San Jose extension in Los Gatos, CA. While attending seminary, I interned at my home church, Peninsula Bible Church in Palo Alto.
After graduating from Western with a Master of Divinity degree (M.Div) in 1999, I pastored and helped a small church in Waterford, CA for one year. God greatly used this experience to drive me to depend on Him and prepare us for stepping out in faith here at Vancouver Bible Fellowship. I am so grateful that God has put a tremendous desire on my heart to shepherd His sheep and to feed them with His written Word.
My Family
God has graciously brought me a fantastic wife. We met at Peninsula Bible Church in Palo Alto, CA during the summer of 1995 and were married on August 3, 1996.
Hillary is a fully committed follower of Jesus Christ, having placed her faith in Him as her Savior and Lord on December 7, 1990. Since then she has been continually growing in her relationship with our Lord, having a deep desire to develop and increase in the knowledge of Him.
Hillary graduated with a Master of Arts degree (M.A.) in Special Education from the University of Santa Clara, CA. Before the birth of our first son, Hillary taught learning-handicapped classes for third graders at Los Altos Christian School for five years.
We have been blessed with two sons and a daughter and are so thankful to God for them. Hillary devotes her time to raising and home-schooling our children. I am very blessed to be married to Hillary as God uses her in so many ways to grow closer to Him.
An Invitation
I would like to personally invite you to come worship with us Sundays at 10:00 AM. Our worship is biblical and Christ centered. I look forward to meeting you!
If you have any questions, feel free to call or email. I would love to talk to you.
Greg Lundstedt

Analog Science Fiction and Fact, July-August 2014
A large double issue with fairly competent stories. Nothing really excellent, but all at least average or slightly over average.
Mind Locker • shortstory by Juliette Wade
A cyberpunk story with a lot of made up words and made up grammar. Very hard to understand at places. For example, what does this mean: "Nope, what I done's sure not the Arkive"? Some kids who are trying to find something to eat and communicate by fancy computer text messages of some sort run into trouble. Or something, I really didn't care (or understand). **
Who Killed Bonnie's Brain? • novelette by Daniel Hatch
A reporter tries to find out why a "brain in a pot" died (or was apparently killed). He meets and interviews several characters and eventually finds out the truth. The world is pretty interesting and well described, and there are some fairly interesting characters. The plot itself wasn't really unusual or surprising. ***+
The Triple Sun: A Golden Age Tale • novelette by Rajnar Vajra
A group of some sort of "space cadets" take part in a bar room fight. As a punishment they must join a mission to a planet with apparently intelligent life, which has so far resisted all attempts of communication. Most life forms, especially the plants on the planet are extremely dangerous. One of the cadets claims that he will succeed in something dozens of scientists have failed: he is going to open the communications. Very much reminiscent of Heinlein's juveniles - not as well and entertainingly written, but not too bad. Not great or unusual in any way, but readable in spite of somewhat irritating characters. ***+
Crimson Sky • shortstory by Eric Choi
A helicopter ambulance driver rescues an explorer in Mars. The patient gets an injection of ringer solution to his arm apparently subcutaneously or inside a muscle in a few seconds and that makes him stabilize. Rotfwl. ( it is infusion solution for intravenous use, and you need 500-1000 ml to have any benefit) The story had some extremely detailed descriptions of technology. Writing ok, but there is little actual plot.***-
The Journeyman: Against the Green • [Journeyman] • novella by Michael F. Flynn
Continues an earlier story. A pair of friends are drafted to an army which fights against green skinned men. The story apparently happens on a planet colonized by humans centuries ago, and some high tech relics might still be around somewhere. For most part the technology is medieval, but the green skinned seem to have muskets and primitive cannons. Little happens in the story. The bulk of the tale is taken by a very detailed description of battle, which at places seems almost like a transcript of a war game, interspaces with light humorous banter. The writing is pretty good, but again: where is the plot? ***+
Journeyer • shortstory by R. Garrett Wilson
An alien runs through a desert to collect an important medical herb which would save lives, especially his niece's life. He takes a very different approach and strategy anyone has ever taken, and no one believes he will succeed or even survive. Guess what happens? A slightly too short, well written story with pretty strange and interesting aliens. ***
Valued Employee • shortstory by James K. Isaac
A young woman returns to her birth village. She has been living in outside world where everything is controlled by nanotechnology (?). She journeys back to her "luddite" village to turn them to accept technology "by any means necessary". There are good parts in the story, but there was something in writing and/or plot which somehow irritated me- but I can't really pinpoint what it was. ***-
Sadness • shortstory by Timons Esaias
Earth has been invaded. The invaders let humans live in peace in degree, but they impose some strange mixes of earlier human religions as mandatory belief systems. Up to and including those with human sacrifice. A sad, well written mood piece. ***
The Half-Toe Bar • shortstory by Andrew Reid
People have contacted a human civilization which has been separated for a long time. A group needs help from a black-smith, but some social norms cause some trouble: apparently it isn't proper that women discuss such things, but the member of visiting group, who best knows what kind of help is needed is a woman. Nothing really special, an easily forgettable story. ***-
Hot and Cold • shortstory by Alvaro Zinos-Amaro
A couple who travels together on a FTL ship has some severe problems with a black hole and an abandoned old space ship with unstable AI. They are forced to some creative measures to survive. A sort of problem solving story. A fairly nice as such. ***
Code Blue Love • novelette by Bill Johnson
The last surviving siblings of a family which suffers from severe cerebral aneurysms create as a last ditch effort intelligent self-modifying intravascular stents. They succeed very well, even though the discovery comes too late to save one of them. Or was it too late? Not bad story, and well written. However, I wonder of people would be _so_ brilliant after several brain surgeries and possible minor subarachnoid bleeds. ***+
Vooorh • novelette by Paula S. Jordan
Continues an earlier story. The background is described very scantily and the style of the story seems somehow to be pretty different from the earlier part which was slightly melancholy mood piece, while this goes more for action.
There are two groups of aliens which fight with each other's. The evil ones are ugly crab like beings, while the good ones are more graceful looking beings, who apparently are something like a cross of seal and octopus. I wonder how the protagonist was able to be so sure who were the "good" guys - but naturally the ugly ones are always the evil aliens. It was kind of surprising how the rock salt was deadly poisonous for sea creatures. There were also a few things which were explained pretty poorly; I wonder for example, why the bad aliens apparently were able to influence police. The writing was pretty good though and the story was entertaining in spite of a few irritations. ***½

OOC: Chapter 1 – PDF Style
Hello again, avid followers!
I apologize for the delay in this post, but I am getting back into the blogging. Thankfully, to make up for lost time, I have a special gift for you all! The entirety of Chapter 1 – PDF Style!
This is a spelling and grammar-checked, slightly better than the original version of all of my blog posts from chapter one, in one easy to download, easy to read file! As for Chapter 2, you can expect that to begin in a week or two!
Thank you for watching,
2 Responses to "OOC: Chapter 1 – PDF Style"
Very cool. I might suggest, though, that all the paragraphs have spacing between them. You have it in some places but not others (mostly dialogue, I think), which makes it a little more difficult to read.
But I've got a project working right now for which I also plan PDF distribution, so I enjoyed seeing someone else in our little community doing that already!
Chapter 2?

Church groups: Keep 'Father,' 'Son' in Bible
Bob UnruhWND
Two church denominations have rejected the practice of using words other than "Father†and "Son†when translating the Bible into languages in Muslim-dominated parts of the globe.
That's according to a new report from Biblical Missiology, which has been raising the issue because of translations by the missionary groups Wycliffe Bible Translators, the Summer Institute of Linguistics and Frontiers that remove or modify terms that may be offensive to Muslims.

Alex Higgins Vs Jimmy White 1982
Been watching snooker on telly this week – not been that exciting to be honest – mainly because I don't know who anyone is this year!
Anyway, here's my favourite snooker clearance of all time: Alex Higgins vs. Jimmy White in the 1982 World Championship. Higgins went on to win the tournament that year, and sadly he passed away recently.

As we move into finals week, please reach out to our office if you need assistance with closing out this term or preparing for the spring. Check out the information below about activities at the Faculty Center and beyond, including our spring book clubs.
Have a good week,
The activities below will take place in the Faculty Center (Classroom Building One, Room 207) unless otherwise noted. If you would like to participate virtually, please email firstname.lastname@example.com for information and assistance.
Thursday, December 8th
Faculty Writing Club—10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Friday, December 9th
Faculty Writing Club—10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Minds Online
Minds Online: Teaching Effectively with Technology by Michelle D. Miller. Faculty members who teach in web-enhanced, mixed-mode, or online modalities are invited to join us for a discussion on cognition and technology-aided approaches to teaching. Meetings will be held on February 8, February 22, March 8, March 22, and April 5 at noon in the Faculty Center. If you are interested in participating, email firstname.lastname@example.com. The first ten respondents will receive a free copy of the book.
Minds on Fire
Minds on Fire: How-Role Immersion Games Transform College by Mark C. Carnes (2014). This study is based on interviews with students and faculty who participated in the pedagogical innovation "Reacting to the Past," which began at Barnard College (https://reacting.barnard.edu/). Several faculty members at UCF are already implementing these ideas in their courses and are reporting very high levels of student engagement. Our meetings will be held in the Faculty Center (CB1-207) from 12:00 – 1:00 on the following Fridays: 1/27, 2/10, 2/24, 3/10, 3/31. If you are interested in participating, email email@example.com. The first ten respondents will receive a free copy of the book.
Disability Aesthetics
Join Assistant Professor of Art History and Faculty Fellow, Keri Watson, in discussion of Tobin Seiber's Disability Aesthetics (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2010), which explores the hidden role that disability plays in modern art. Disability Aesthetics argues that the essential arguments at the heart of the American culture wars in the late twentieth century involved the rejection of disability both by targeting certain artworks as "sick" and by characterizing these artworks as representative of a sick culture. It also tracks the Seminole role of National Socialism in perceiving the powerful connection between modern art and disability. Our meetings will be held in the Faculty Center (CB1-207) from 12:00 – 1:00 on the following Tuesdays: 1/24, 2/7, 2/21, 3/7, 3/21, 4/4, and 4/18. If you are interested in participating, email firstname.lastname@example.com. The first ten respondents will receive a free copy of the book.
Undergraduate Research: Resources Available and Effective Mentoring Practices
Interested in mentoring undergraduates through research and academic scholarship? Or are you currently working with undergraduates and want to know about the UCF resources? Please join us for this workshop to discuss the programs available for undergraduate researchers and best practices for mentoring them through the experience. Classroom Building 1, room 205, on Wednesday, January 18th, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. or Friday, January 20th, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Illuminations Volume 4, Number 2 Fall 2016
The UCF Libraries publication Illuminations is now available online at http://illuminations.library.ucf.edu. This issue features a look at what faculty across campus are reading, an interview with Tracy Wharton from the School of Social Work, and an article from Texts and Technology's Mel Stanfill.

Invitation to Become a Spring 2017 Fellow for the UCF Center for Success of Women Faculty
We are pleased to announce the availability of up to four CSWF Fellow positions through the UCF Center for Success of Women Faculty for the spring 2017 semester (funding dependent). We are looking for fellows who are interested in helping the UCF faculty community to address an essential part of the CSWF mission, "providing resources to assist faculty to balance life and career".
We expect each fellow to develop engaging presentations on a topic of great importance to them related to career-life balance to share with colleagues. For example, a Fellow could organize and run a 1 hour workshop during the spring semester; contribute to the CSWF website (or similar media) with relevant, new information; and present a 1-hour workshop on their chosen topic at the 2017 UCF Summer Faculty Conference. Workshops and presentations should address topics from a faculty perspective, with suggested topics including: dealing with care for aging parents or family members with special needs, new and expecting parent issues, issues related to sending your "babies" off to college, what to expect when you return from Family and Medical Leave (FMLA), balancing two careers in academia, time-management strategies, negotiation training, and personal and financial health.. We are also open to all other ideas that fit within the theme of faculty career-life balance.
Invitations to apply for this fellowship will be accepted from full-time faculty who are instructors (all ranks); lecturers (all ranks); librarians (all ranks); or assistant, associate, full, research and clinical professors. In addition, faculty must have their supervisor's signature documenting his or her support of the application. At this time, no faculty on visiting lines will be considered. The assignment will run from January to May 2017 and carry a professional development award of $300, depending on time commitment (that must be spent prior to June 30, 2017).
Please submit a CV/resume and a one to two page statement of your proposed project and its importance to UCF faculty, including timeline, to Ms. Fran Ragsdale (firstname.lastname@example.com) by December 12, 2016. If you have any questions, please contact the CSWF Director, Dr. Linda Walters, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Join a faculty writing club to start your fall off with a focus on productivity and camaraderie. Having trouble getting into a good writing rhythm? Need to get away from your office to get a change of perspective and a little privacy? Forget the coffee shop—join your colleagues on Thursday and Friday mornings from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. in FCTL for a loosely structured writing session. We'll take five or six minutes each week to go around the room and state a goal for the time block and then spend the rest of the time working on our individual projects. Bring your own laptop or use an FCTL computer. And of course there will be coffee. Everyone is welcome!
The Faculty Center is happy to share information about events or activities that are relevant to faculty in the listserv each week. If you would like to request that we include an announcement, please email me a paragraph (three to four sentences) including a link to additional information if appropriate, by close of business on Wednesday for inclusion on the following Sunday. Due to technological constraints we cannot include attachments or HTML formatted text. Remember to include critical details like the place and time for the event and feel free to suggest a headline. Announcements will run for two weeks, with exceptions in special circumstances. Just send your announcements to me at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will help to spread the word.

In May 2004, as the U.S. housing market was heating up, Standard & Poor's Financial Services lost to a rival a huge deal to rate mortgage-backed securities to be issued by a major Japanese bank.
The reason? S&P's credit standards were too high, an employee complained to his boss.
The company then went on to "downplay and disregard" its standards to win business, a federal lawsuit alleged, contributing to one of the most devastating financial collapses in history.
As early as Tuesday, S&P is expected to settle with federal and state authorities, including officials in California, for a total of nearly $1.4 billion, said a person familiar with the deal but not authorized to speak publicly.
The litigation, filed two years ago, was the first against a ratings company for its role in the financial crisis that deepened the Great Recession.
The company is not expected to admit liability over allegations that it defrauded banks and other investors by doctoring its top AAA ratings on securities to attract Wall Street clients. Investors rely on ratings to a great extent to assess the safety and soundness of stocks, bonds and other assets.
One observer said the settlement would offer at least some accountability for a key player in the financial crisis.
"Without the investment-grade ratings bestowed on pools of substandard mortgages, there would have been no mortgage crisis," said Jan Lawrence Handzlik of Los Angeles, a former federal prosecutor who specializes in white-collar criminal defense.
"It's difficult to determine if the penalty ... is too little too late or just about right," he said. "But the resolution of this fraud lawsuit on these terms should have a significant deterrent impact."
The deal also marks an important milestone for the much-criticized ratings business, which today is more stringently regulated but more lucrative than before the crisis.
"It's an important step to closing the books on the financial crisis as it related to the ratings agencies," said Peter P. Appert, an analyst with Piper Jaffray & Co. in San Francisco.
With the agreement in hand, federal authorities now are taking aim at S&P's key rival, Moody's Investor Services, said people familiar with that investigation but unauthorized to speak publicly. Moody's declined to comment.
Under the terms of the expected S&P settlement, half the payment, $687.5 million, will go to the Justice Department, and the rest to 19 states and the District of Columbia. California, which had sued S&P separately, will receive $210 million, believed to be the largest recovery among the states.
The bulk of the California settlement will go to the state's two major public pension funds, the California Public Employees' Retirement System and the California State Teachers' Retirement System. Both relied on S&P ratings in buying securities that later crashed, according to the state's case.
S&P, which denied the allegations and said emails about the Japanese deal were taken out of context, also said the federal lawsuit was brought in retaliation for the company's decision to downgrade U.S. debt during the 2011 budget standoff between President Obama and congressional Republicans. The settlement is expected to say that S&P didn't find evidence to support the claim.
The decision to allow S&P to settle without admitting to fraud was a key concession also won by other major financial institutions in prior settlements with the Justice Department and the states. The agreement's statement of facts is not expected to contain any finding of a violation of law, a person with knowledge of the agreement said.
The statement, however, is expected to say that the company was aware of deteriorating conditions in the mortgage market that would normally require it to warn investors by lowering ratings on the bonds, an action known as a downgrade, according to another person familiar with the matter.
The company failed to downgrade the bonds out of concern for losing business from Wall Street banks, which issued the bonds and paid for the ratings, this person said.
Spokespeople for S&P, the California attorney general's office and the Justice Department declined to comment.
The settlement would be one more turn in the long and painful process of digging out of the financial crisis of 2008, which centered on the mortgage market and the type of mortgage-backed securities rated by S&P, Moody's and their smaller rival, Fitch Ratings Inc.
As the housing market heated up in the mid-2000s, Wall Street banks rushed to market hundreds of billions of dollars worth of high-yielding, mortgage-related securities, each of which required a rating on their credit quality by one of the three firms that dominated the market.
Government investigations later faulted the raters, which are paid by the Wall Street firms whose bonds they rate, for conflicts of interests and said the companies lowered their credit standards to win new business. As the housing market faltered, the securities, many of them rated AAA, crashed in value, sending global financial markets into a tailspin.
The 2011 Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission called the rating companies "essential cogs in the wheel of financial destruction."
Already, financial institutions in the U.S. and Europe have agreed to pay more than $178 billion in total litigation costs stemming from the crisis, according to a December study by Boston Consulting Group, including high-profile settlements between government agencies and JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp.
The federal suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana, where federal prosecutors have deep experience bringing cases under the powerful Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989.
FIRREA, enacted to deal with the savings-and-loan crisis, imposes stiff financial penalties for causing losses at government-insured banks. The S&P lawsuit was the first major FIRREA case filed in the wake of the financial crisis.
Still, S&P and its competitors retain an effective oligopoly on the business. Piper Jaffray's Appert said the three companies today control 95% of the global ratings market, about the same as before the crisis.
S&P's revenue, about $2.4 billion last year, according to Appert, is higher than its pre-crisis peak.
From an investor standpoint, Appert said, the settlement is good news. On Monday, shares of S&P's parent company, New York publisher McGraw Hill Financial Inc., gained 86 cents, or about 1%, to $90.30.

I'm a "Drawer" who prefers plaster and photography for mediums. I create surfaces and make believe places.

I prefer to draw, to reduce marks made versus add layers to a surface.In parallel, I like the formality and distance that photography provides. My work is a mix of both, making surfaces and objects with plaster and pigments in the way one would draw, then photographing these elements into make-believe landscapes.
These stories and landscapes are meant to capture the invisible, hidden drivers in life. For me, these drivers are about change and churn, about steps to take, and about quiet meditation.

Final hearing of blasphemy convicted Pakistani Christian woman Asia Bibi, likely to be scheduled for June. Blasphemy convict has been sentenced to death, as she now awaits verdict from the apex court of Pakistan over her appeal against capital punishment.
Asia Bibi's trial may resume in June, probably in the first week, her defense counsel Advocate Saif-ul-Malook revealed. Asia Bibi's defense attorney stated that. "the request to reopen the hearing was submitted to the President of the Supreme Court of Pakistan last week. The case continues to be postponed due to the problems of this country. We are in the midst of a continuing war between Islam and Kufr (infidels). But our hopes for her release are many."

In October 2016, Supreme Court judges called off the trial of Asia Bibi to a date yet to be determined. A Supreme Court bench consisting of three members and led by Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, decided to adjourn the court after one of the judges of the bench decided to quit the bench. Justice Iqbal Hameed-ur-Rehman retired from the case maintaining that he had also been part of the bench hearing the case of Salman Taseer's murder.
Asia Bibi was accused of committing blasphemy by her co-workers back in 2009. Later on, in 2010, a court in district Nankana awarded her capital punishment, which was later challenged and upheld by a two-member bench of Lahore High Court in 2014. Her appeal case is currently pending with the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
One of Asia Bibi's defense attorneys Khalil Tahir Sandhu explained her condition saying: "Right now she is behind bars. She has not seen, unfortunately, the Sun or the Moon this year." He illuminated Asia Bibi's fervent faith in Lord Jesus Christ saying: "She is very, very strong in her faith. There were so many attempts to convert her but she said 'no – I will remain faithful' and she has remained faithful."

On October 7, 1933, Air France was formed through a merger of five smaller French airlines. The chance to celebrate eight decades of service does not happen often in the airline business. Therefore, Air France decided to commemorate the occasion by painting over-sized digits of the number 80 on the fuselages of an A320 and A380, with different images of the past 80 years on each side of the aircraft

Short post today, folks.
I hope everyone had a glorious Thanksgiving weekend, filled with way too much food and an early bed time. Hopefully you didn't go overboard and are back on track today.
From time to time, I like to immerse myself in a program by a top strength coach/trainer in the field. Doing so allows me to gain knowledge of each coach's strategy for program design. Two months ago, I purchased Eric Cressey's new product called "Show and Go" and just started Phase 3 today. The progress so far has been great. My strength levels have been gaining pretty consistently week to week, while keeping my weight in the range that I desire. The only addition I've made to the program is some extra mobility work relative to areas that need I need improvement in, namely ankle and thoracic spine mobility.
While I definitely recommend checking out "Show and Go", the main takeaway from this is the importance of a plan. Most people go to the gym with no plan so they walk around aimlessly picking out random machines to use. Even if you have a plan in mind, it's extremely important to keep your training sessions in writing, preferably a log of some sort that you take with you everyday. This allows you to track your progress as you go and makes it fairly easy to see if you're improving or just staying mediocre.
If you're struggling to make progress and looking for a program to help you reach your goals faster, please contact me at email@example.com.

I'm keeping with my resolution theme again this month and also talking about how I did with my April challenges.
Resolution #1: Become a healthier person.
Last month, I challenged myself to go 30 days without drinking soda. I made it 46 hours. Truthfully, while going cold turkey sounds like a good idea, it's not. Especially when you're addicted to it as much as I am. I did fine on my first day but by the second day, it got a little crazy.
I've decided to stop taking things away from my diet because I don't like deprivation. It doesn't work for me. (Does it work for anyone?!) So I'm taking on The 30-Day Shred challenge. I am going to do Jillian's kick-butt routine every day for 30 days. I won't say I'm excited about this and I cringe thinking about how sore I'm going to be. But I want to show myself I can do this. And I think it'll go a long way in helping me with my weight loss effort. As long as I stick to eating right.
Resolution #2: Become a godlier woman.
Since I knew how hectic my schedule would be in April, I charged myself with only conversating with God in April. I didn't do this as much as I wanted to and sometimes it felt more like an afterthought than anything. I think it's because I wasn't really involved with God. He's been a big afterthought for a while.
So my challenge for this month is to have quiet time with God five times a week. Luckily, my life will be a lot less hectic and busy and it will be much easier to find time to have this quiet time with God. And I hope to make an easy, everyday part of my life that I need. And I'm starting a new Bible study that the lovely Kyla Roma recommended to me! This makes me super excited to start.
Resolution #3: Get in control of my finances.
I resolved to start tracking my spending this month and I have done that. I still want to sit down and make some sort of chart of where all my money went and make a budget from that. Unfortunately, the bulk of my money I make in May is going towards tuition so I really don't have any big plans with my credit cards because of that.
Basically, my goal for this month is to cut down on those little expenses. The two times I get paid this month, I'll take $30 out of the bank to have for any expenditures. I can use this for shopping, food, or whatever I feel led to buy. I really want to get into this habit monthly while I'm trying to get control over my credit card debt so we'll see how this month goes.
(Also happening this month: a new phone! I'll be able to shop around for a new phone on May 25th and I cannot wait. I've been using my mom's awful Blackberry since I lost my phone in November and I hate it. So I'm going to get a new phone then, when I can get a nice one for cheap.)

Next sunday, there is an open day at the Large Hadron Collider. If you are in the proximity of Geneva don't miss the chance to visit that pharaonic work! The main goal of that particle collider is to reveal the Higgs boson, the particle that's supposed to give mass to all other massive particles. Hereby an instructive video:
But what if we discover no Higgs boson? How do we proceed? What are the plans? I guess we'll find plethora of other particles at those unexperimented energies. We'll need to set up new supermodels, supertheories. That will generate decennies, if not centuries of theoretical work and speculations, which will call for Xtra LHC's, and so on.
Before heading enthusiastically towards Xtra LHC's - because an XLHC will not cost billions of dollars, but hundreds of billions of dollars - I vote for a quiet time. Let all theorists and experimentalists take a paid sabbatical year and develop independently their own vision on quantum reality, the simpler the better. Because there are a lot of other mechanisms that make particles gain inertia, especially when you think of particles as having concrete reality, like little rotating needles or hooks or any structured non circular extension. Let us first work out all those alternative paths before taking the XLHC highway, if we'll still be there ;-) Wink at what's awaiting us according to the LHC lawsuit at Honolulu.

Business Finance: New year tasks
In his first Business Finance blog post for 2013 our CFO Greg Taylor shares some tips on the things small businesses should be doing to get their finances sorted at the start of this new year.
The post Christmas period can be quiet for some businesses. I asked our business banking manager Stephen Skujins for five things you can do to help the cash registers ring for the rest of the year.
First up is a review of business basics. Make sure you have the key elements to managing your cashflow under control: your stock, creditors and debtors. Chase up any late paying debtors and get rid of excess stock. Do you need to change your systems to make monitoring these items easier this year?
Next, make sure your employees are on the same page as you. Does everyone understand your business vision and goals for the year? Make sure each staff member is clear on what they have to do to meet these goals and have the skills and procedures to do their job well.
Thirdly, do a tidy up. Whether it is your shop, factory, work car or ute, a well presented business looks more professional, engenders staff pride and gives customers confidence in the quality of your business. First impressions count.
You should have your 2012 accounts from your accountant by now. If you don't, get them. Your accounts are tools for managing your business, not just something you need for the tax office. Look at last year's figures and your business plan to work out what worked well and what didn't work so well. You don't have to do this alone. Ask key people for their input including staff, customers, your accountant, business banker and coach. Pick three priority areas to change.
Finally do a cash flow forecast for the year and make a diary entry to update it monthly. This is one of the best ways to spot issues before they become problems. It also helps you to identify your funding needs for the year so you have the necessary funds in place when you need them.
Happy New Business Year.
Please share your tips for the new year below.
This column also appeared in this week's Newcastle Post.

zombie walk kickstarter campaign
Please support the zombie walk kickstarter event so we can cover it for Weird in P-town
So how are we doing....
Originally I was going to do this show with a full production, a co- producer, camera person, audio person, and host and I would Produce/direct. But after the Soap Box races my original host cancelled in the last minute and I decided to just host it myself and just use a different type of mic, so its just me and the camera man..... Aaron, god bless him. I am having such a great response from this that I've decided to host it myself. But I am looking for crew. Anyway, I guess for the next episode we are going to try to do the Men's roller derby. keep checking in.

At some point, approximately three quarters of people ages 11-30 will suffer from acne. Though common for adolescents and young adults, people in their fifties may still be getting acne.
Some experts claim that the primary cause is the rise of androgen – which is one type of hormone, while others simply blame it to genetic.
Anyone suffering from acne knows how relieving it is for an acne infection to be treated. Such relief however fades upon realization that a scar is left on the surface.
Acne scars though aggravating, are common. Severe scarring arises when one picks at his pimple and this will eventually lead the acne to spread and form on other areas of the skin.
For the purpose of treating acne, many people usually opt for any medicine as a way out. A number of dermatologists prescribe topical creams and oral medication.
Though medical treatment may be effective, any natural remedy should be an option because these too can treat skin problems in a more natural and healthier way.
When trying natural remedies to cure acne, it is a must to make sure that your skin is clean and well-hydrated. Cleansing works to remove bacteria on the skin and excess oil. A mild cleanser works best if used morning and night.
It is also important to use a toner to avoid oil from penetrating deep down your skin. Lastly, one must moisturize twice a day using a non-greasy or oil-free moisturizer to prevent any breakout as this will minimize the surfacing of oils on the skin.
- One natural remedy you can try is the apple cider vinegar (ACV). This works as a likely toner for the skin. Start by a mixture of organic ACV and equal parts water and simply swab a layer over the offensive acne. ACV leaves your skin refreshed and invigorated. This also aids to balance the tone of your skin.
- You may also try the lemon with sugar coating. Just cut an organic lemon in half and use white sugar to cover the flat surface of the fruit. Lightly massage all over your clear, moist face. This helps get rid of excessive oil, dull or dead skin cells, and any bacteria thriving on your face which may cause acne.
- Organic papaya can also remove dead skin cells and other impurities. You may simply squash the flesh of the papaya and use it as a face mask. Let it stay on your face for roughly 15 minutes, rinse with temperate water, pat it dry, and finish with an oil-free moisturizer.
- Rubbing lime juice on your skin can make your skin tone even and can also add to skin rejuvenation. As it acts as an astringent, it will also fight against acne.
- To top all these, anyone can actually go organic. Organic foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, are by far better than any food processed with chemicals. With our bodies created to process food in the most natural way, processed foods may not be helpful as it may have negative effects on our bodies. Should you decide to make a switch, your body and you skin will appreciate you.
Natural remedies will treat your acne and will help you avoid its worsening condition through time.
All these natural therapy are way safer than any chemical countermeasures that may not be budget-friendly at all. It pays to do things a little more easily and naturally.
