I wanted to thank you for everything you have done to support me since I first registered in 2016. You have always been open and honest with me about the road from temp to perm and you understood things from my perspective as a long-term supply teacher. I was also impressed with the way you handled things with regard to pay. Right from the start you have been supportive and professional in your approach. I know that the school rates you highly and so do I.
I would just like to say thank you to all of you at Smart. You are efficient, knowledgeable and kind and I have noticed a great improvement in my professional life since I have joined you in September.
Thank you to Smart Teachers, in particular my consultant Sarah McNamara who was able to guide me through the whole process. Her detailed knowledge of the independent school sector in Sydney was outstanding. I sincerely recommend Smart Teachers as THE teacher employment company.

Smart Teachers have proven themselves to be an exemplary recruitment service, providing a personalised service that delivers high quality teaching staff to match the needs of our school.

We have been using Smart Teachers for many years as our preferred supply agency both for day-to-day and long term supply; only resorting to using other agencies in extreme cases. We have found them to be reliable, efficient, and importantly, always attuned to the unique requirements of each individual placement.

EDINBURGH (Reuters Life!) - Britain's top annual comedy prize, the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award, went to England's Russell Kane at an Edinburgh Fringe festival ceremony on the weekend for his show "Smokescreens and Castles."
The award for best comedy newcomer on the Fringe was won by 31-year-old London comedienne Roison Conaty, while the Spirit of the Fringe award went to 20-year-old American Bo Burnham, who has accumulated an audience of millions from his YouTube internet comedy broadcasts from his Boston bedroom.
Awards' producer Nica Burns said Kane, 30, from Westcliffe-on-Sea in Essex, "takes the audience by storm with his boundless energy and enthusiasm."
In his new show he "explores self, family, and the consequences of his Dad buying their council flat" in the apartment block nicknamed The Castle. The Sunday Times described the show as "bold, defiant...Shot through with vulnerability."
Conaty, from Camden in north London, told Reuters her experience on this year's Fringe had been "life changing in terms of doing a show every day ... I've learned so much."
She made her debut solo in the show "Hero, Warrior, Fireman, Liar."
The tall, mop-haired Burnham, who started his YouTube comedy exploits four years ago, was also short-listed for the best comedy award.
The awards were announced by star comedian Al Murray, who won the best comedy prize in 1999, and last year's winner Tim Key. Burns said the judging panel had seen 418 shows and attended nearly 1,200 performances over the past three weeks.
The Fringe, the world's largest annual showing of the arts, has fostered a galaxy of stars of theater, film and comedy since its inception alongside the city's International Festival in 1947.

The SPLIT floor lamp owes its name to the opening along the length of the stainless steel lampshade. The opening allows the shade to tilt and rotate independently around the light source. The light bulb is stationary but you can direct the light in any way by adjusting the lampshade. The interior of the shade is mirror polished contrasting wonderfully with the matte white exterior. The opening continues in the ash wood cap on one end of the lampshade. The cable is concealed inside the ash wood pole and the cone shaped foot. This concrete foot has some soft buffers underneath to protect the floor.

For some odd reason, I've had all my of my nail polish stuffed into a large tote bag. So not fun to carry & definitely not easy to dig my way through for whatever color I'm looking for. I've been checking various websites & eBay for a nail polish rack for the last year. They were always just way too expensive & generally, pretty ugly. I have a friend who works in a salon who offered me one, but she later found out she could have been fired for letting me have it, so I was on the quest for another alternative.
I didn't really have anything in mind when I would shop; I just browsed everything & thought of how I could store my polishes. A nail polish rack would have been ideal, but for now, I found these:
Found these at Walmart for $7 a piece. They're small bathroom racks that I figured would do the trick. So I picked up 3 of them & gave 'em a try. Needless to say, I didn't think it out too well when I bought them; when I set the nail polish on the rack, they'd plop over & look uneven. I am really, really obsessive/anal about things looking perfectly straight, it's pretty insane! So I ran to JoAnn Fabrics & picked up some cheap Foamies sheets & silver-y holographic ribbon. Ta-da! :D
I haven't added the ribbon yet because I'm going to sew it together once I've measured everything. I put that together in about 5 minutes & just haven't had the time to sit down & measure. I realize this is a pretty basic thing to do, but IMO, made it look muuuuch better & now my polishes won't fall into each other. Plus, it's a little more personalized, too & once I add the ribbon, it will look pretty rad :D
Next, I will begin the task of sorting these all out by brand & then colour, because I'm partially psychotic like that :P
I also received my first Sigma brushes haul the other day & am so impressed! I'm not really a brush snob by any means...I'll pretty much use anything as long as it's not cheaply made or doesn't shed everywhere. I have quite a few MAC & Sonia Kashuk brushes as well as brushes from the craft store (also, a really great investment) so I just ordered 3; Something About Marilyn kabuki (duh!), E35 tapered blending & E45 small tapered blending. I also received a free travel sized brush (E25 blending) which reminds me of the MAC 217 (my favourite brush ever!) I'm sure someone has compiled a list of the MAC/name brand comparatives, but I just bought brushes I knew I needed.
The first thing I noticed when I opened these up, was that the handles smell HORRID. I'm not exactly sure what that smell is, but it's kinda gross. Luckily, I left them sit out overnight & the smell has worn off a bit. It's still there, just not punch-you-in-the-face there. They also sent two pamphlets showcasing their brushes/prices & also included brush cleansing instructions. Sweet!
I really wanted one of the pink brush kits, but it was sold out. Actually, looking at the site now, it seems to have changed a bit since I made my order & I no longer see that one on there :( Boo! Hahah, either way, I'm definitely going to invest in one of the sets, probably one of the Make Me Up sets, because they are a really good deal. $100 bucks probably sounds pricey, but imagine how much money you'd spend on MAC/Bobbi Brown, even Sephora brand brushes. They also send you a free gift on orders over $30, plus, you can generally find a coupon code floating around online (Try RetailMeNot.com, I saved 10%) I am loving these brushes, especially that kabuki. I need to go through & pitch some of my old/heavily used brushes that really just gotta go & replace them with these. They are awesome!
So I leave you all with a question today; what are your favourite brand of brushes & why? And more specifically, what is your #1 go-to, must-have brush?

I was just about trying to research what possible reasons where why prominent and successful World of Warcraft raiding groups disbanded, such as Death & Taxes (disbanded), Risen (disbanded), Nightmares Asylum (moved to Age of Conan), Flying Hellfish (moved to Age of Conan). But there are more movements too. On my backwater server the server first raid group disbanded with the core leadership joining a top 10 group.
But rather than actually execute the program of trying to understand what happened there, leave the obvious comments such as AoC came around, or that the wait was too long, or that the stepping up from the Black Temple to Sunwell was too much even for the hardcore, or that it's just been a long long run with WoW, I'd instead like to pull up a quote of a Death and Taxes member after they disbanded, posted on the WoW official forum:
I miss 40 man raids.
Being social with 40 people > "feeling more important in a smaller group"

Kelsey Mathew has been fascinated by the Romani people the – aka "Roma", aka "Gypsies" (sometimes seen as derogatory) from an early age. I'm thrilled to have her on the show to tell us about some of her experiences interacting with this fascinating people in Romania during her many trips back with missions and charitable organizations! We'll learn about the situation in the Transylvania region of Romania — its bad — and a bit about Romanian Romani culture, beliefs and practices too!
She opened her own Etsy store and sold artwork to help raise funds for children and families living in desperately squalid situations usually on the outskirts of otherwise modern Romanian villages.
She later stopped the Etsy and now sells her art at the Kent Market in Seattle and online at her Instagram: http://instagram.com/transylvaniawintershop/
Kelsey has been back to Romania to help at least 10 times and you can check out some blog posts and pictures over at http://romaniaforchrist.blogspot.com/
You'll see heart wrenching photos like this (https://bit.ly/2JUJpcO):
I am going to share about one village in particular: Seleus (Sell-eh-oosh). Situated about twenty minutes outside Sighisoara, Seleus is in two parts; the main section, and the hill. The muddy hill is where most of the Roma Gypsies live, in shacks made of plastic, sticks, mud. The ground is perpetual mud littered with garbage and covered with feces. The children run around with bare feet (only some have shoes). Stray dogs overwhelm the village, barking and biting.
If you cannot see the pictures on your device, check them out on a browser at https://bit.ly/2JUJpcO. They are surreal. Like a really bad dream, but they're real.
Hit Kelsey up at her Instagram for information on how she's helping and on how you may be able to help as well.

Greetings from Depok, West Java, where I'm spending the next four weeks living and collaborating with well known local music group KunoKini. Literally translated as "ancient" (kuno) and "now" (kini), they work to blend traditional Indonesian music and culture with the present day through their work, hence getting involved with the British Council's three year UK/Indonesia season, which aims to build new relationships and collaboration between the UK and Indonesia.
**Follow my daily adventures on Instagram and Twitter**
After applying at the end of last year and Skyping with the team in January, I was delighted to be offered a place on the residency alongside fellow British musician DANI, and so we find ourselves staying in an incredible leafy retreat in Depok, with a natural musical backdrop of crickets, frogs, cockerels, sheep and, five times daily, the call to prayer from the local mosque. Not knowing beforehand that the fifth daily call (or the first, depending on which way you look at it) is at 4am, you can imagine my surprise when I woke suddenly to what sounded like hundreds of men singing loudly and insistently right outside my bedroom door. That loudspeaker is LOUD.
I've been in Indonesia for exactly a week, and to say it's been a culture shock would be a gross understatement. Despite considering myself a fairly well seasoned traveller, I'm a pasty Englishwoman who lives in leggings and layers, so dealing with humidity on this scale has been tough. I was just about getting used to spending my days in a constant state of – let's call it "glistening"- when a tummy bug hit. NOT FUN. Now I've bounced back I can philosophically file that experience away under "unpleasant but character building" and be faintly impressed at my body's efficiency in getting these troubles out of the way before our musical activities start tomorrow. And I have to say, barging urgently in to a bathroom occupied by a metre long lizard luxuriating on the wall above the loo is an experience I will never forget. Michael Palin eat your heart out.
I landed last Wednesday after 25 hours of travelling Bristol-London-Abu Dhabi-Jakarta. Two nights and one day in Jakarta gave me just enough time to try proper sate (delicious), experience an Indonesian mall (HUGE!), get mobbed for photos in Kota Tuan simply for being white and blonde (funny to start with), learn about the incredible history of Indonesian puppets at the Wayang Museum (a must-see), try a Durian ice cream (a love/hate thing which I did not love) and achieve zenlike calm in the Relax Living spa (highly recommended, though somewhat disturbing when my masseuse unexpectedly climbed on top of me to increase the pressure).
Jakarta is HUGE, its pavements are a health hazard and it has limited public transport so insanely cheap (to Westerners) taxis and motorbikes are the only way to get around. Lizards, cockroaches and ants are part of the scenery, and none of the cats I happened upon were up for a photo.
On Friday, Sita from British Council ID took us to meet our hosts Ibu Maria, Mas Bhismo and Mba Sita (mother, son and daughter respectively) at their leafy home in Depok, a faraway suburb of Jakarta. Mas Bhismo is one of the key members of Kunokini and is full of wisdom and knowledge, as are his entire family. Our post-dinner chats about everything from Islamic history to wages at clothing factories to Torajan mummies to the health benefits of guava leaves eaten with sea salt (my sad tummy's saviour!) have been the highlight of my time here so far. It's a privilege to get to spend time with such welcoming people, and I'm very thankful for their hospitality. No matter how wonderful the opportunity, being 10,000 miles from home and 6 hours ahead of everyone I love for a month isn't going to be plain sailing, but I couldn't be in better hands.
Alongside a full programme of activities planned for us by KunoKini, I have personal goals for this time away. I've brought cameras, watercolours, sketchbooks and my visual diary along for the ride, and after finishing mixing my brand new record at Real World with Dan Austin the day before I flew out I'm all set for starting to write album 5 too.
Yesterday I sat out on the back porch and tested out my mobile recording setup, comprised of a Zoom H4N Pro recorder (to be used as an audio interface as well as for field recordings), my beloved OP-1 synth, Music Man St Vincent guitar (hummuna hummuna) and MBP running Logic Pro X, plus the key element – insect repellent. It worked like a charm, and against a backdrop of crickets and frogs I wrote a piece of new music that I really like.
Here's to more adventures – further instalments coming soon, please subscribe to stay up to date!

QUICKDRIVE Protection!!!!
Ok so i'm sure by now if you have a 13 pro you've heard about the clearance issue with the bottom of the QUICKDRIVE and the belly pan on that side. Not really wanted to hit a rock,stump, ect. and loose a QUICKDRIVE belt, figured I better get some protection.
There is a lot of different companies making them. All of the designs offer good protection which is needed. However a couple I personally like better. They are the ones that are "cupped" for hump the QUICKDRIVE creates.
The one I chose for Project Rebel Pro is made by sled armor for GEARHEAD.. Priced at $55.00 if it saves you one QUICKDRIVE belt you are already money ahead of the game. Thats why this product is a no brainer
Install couldn't be more simple.. Heres what comes with the kit
First thing is flip the sled on the left side.. Drill out the two bottom rivets in the belly pan.
Next install the (as looking at the sled flipped like this) bottom left.. then the bottom right.. all the holes are already there..
Now drill out the top right hole into the belly pan and install that rivet.. Next drill out the belly pan and foot rail extrusion and install the supplied bolt and screw.. and not only are you done but just saved yourself some cash and maybe a tow out..
Finished product
You can purchase it here >>>> GEARHEAD
Thx for info
Does the 2015 need this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk
not to worry Gearhead can not supply them, ordered two and they could not produce them. Ordered the SKINZ ones they are made out of uhmw, I guess I will see!
gtwitch in wyoming
Bummer to know I was going to order this week. I'm interested to hear how the UHMW works for you, that stuff is tough but IDK if this is a good application for it. Vanamburg sells one similar to above, but it's steel IIRC

Sunday morning so thought I would look at the paper and there we have this column by PVO on Political discourse coarsened by reactionary war against 'elites'. It's not every reactionary who becomes the wave of the future, but there is this possibility in DJT. It is a bit old timey, but let me take you back to what I still think makes a lot of sense:
The circulation of elite is a theory of regime change described by Italian social scientist Vilfredo Pareto (1848–1923). Changes of regime, revolutions, and so on occur not when rulers are overthrown from below, but when one elite replaces another.
There will always be leaders in every society and they will come from a variety of directions and use different means to hold on when challenged. But this is the essence of what PVO has to say:
A book by American professor Tom Nichols titled The Death of Expertise: The Campaign Against Established Knowledge and Why It Matters, explores how and why modern society has embraced such a lowbrow approach. [My bolding]
Let me take my own area of expertise, economics. You can certainly accuse me of campaigning against modern textbook theory which, so far as I can see, has brought our economies very low although making some people very rich. Go back to the first civilisations and you will see this everywhere you go. There are some few who are very rich and there are others who are not. The thing about our societies in the West is that those who are not do very very well by historical standards. But if your expertise is founded on the belief that increased aggregate demand and higher public spending are good for growth and employment, then your expertise, in my view, is junk science.
And the fact is, there is a lot of that kind of stuff around at the moment, with agw as large a danger to our communal wealth and well being as I have ever seen. So what does PVO say about that?
Climate change scientists might be the specialists when it comes to assessing global warming, and I'll defer to their judgment rather than embrace the conspiracy theories of polemicists who dispute the evidence. But when climate scientists seek to influence policy mechanisms for addressing climate change, they move outside their area of expertise. Scientists recommending how best to structure tax or energy trading systems is akin to me offering medical advice: buyer beware. [My bolding again]
Those lowbrow polemicists attacking our elites who indulge in various forms of crony capitalism as they sell us massively government-subsidised wind farms and solar panels may actually have a point, and even more so if you think that these very same elites want to open our borders to anyone who decides to show up.

Are you suffering in silence?Do you have ill-fitting dentures? Are you afraid to eat or drink in company? Do your dentures give you pain?
If you have answered yes to any of the above questions you no longer have to suffer in silence. Wearing dentures should not be a painful experience or make you self-conscious. With new techniques and advanced materials dentures can now be created individually for you, which fit perfectly and look natural.
Full or partial denturesIf you have lost all of your natural teeth you will require a full denture. This type of denture replaces all of your teeth and will give you back your bite and your smile.

Health Care Reform
National healthcare reform has raised a lot of issues across the nation. We're here to help you navigate through the issue, and we've made it as simple as possible. As a consumer all you have to do is select the HMSA health plan or stand-alone dental plan that best fits the needs of you and your family. We have taken the appropriate steps to make sure all the plans we offer are compliant with the new federal healthcare regulations. Please see below for the most common questions around Healthcare Reform.
Health care reform is a federal law that changes how you receive health care. It was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama in March 2010.
Health care reform was created to:
Health care reform affects almost all Americans:
Yes. First, health insurance plans must provide pediatric dental benefits for children under the age of 19. Second, if you have a stand-alone individual dental plan, these plans can help you meet that requirement, but must include specific benefits for Pediatric services. Generally, adult coverage under a dental insurance plan is not impacted by the regulation, except an adult coverage plan must now include the pediatric dental benefits.
Yes, for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, individual health plans must be QHPs. In order to be a QHP, the health plan must provide a prescribed set of benefits called Essential Health Benefits (EHB). These benefits include pediatric services including dental care. Again, rest assured that all HMSA plans available to you are compliant with these new requirements. There are options available to you, and it is recommended you speak to an HMSA agent to help you understand your options.
The pediatric dental EHB applies to children under age 19.
The good news is we're here to help navigate the change. And we have multiple options to make sure your dental coverage is compliant with all federal regulations — and — remains affordable for you. All our new plans meet the new standards, and of course, provide the exceptional service you would expect from a trusted source.

StormMeister Flood Protection
StormMeister® Flood Protection was founded in the UK in 2010 with the specific aim of solving the problems presented by conventional flood doors which are difficult to operate. StormMeister® director Malcolm Snape is an engineer with over 30 years experience of manufacturing products for the construction industry and it was whilst working in the Tropical Rain Forest of West Africa he came up with the idea using flood water pressure to seal flood doors.
Since that beginning StormMeister® has been dedicated to designing and producing not only flood doors but a wide range of user friendly flood protection products to protect commercial and residential property within flood risk areas. Flood defence solutions for residential and commercial properties which are accessible to everyone, including the elderly, infirm and disabled.
The Flood Industry – The Way Forward
Following recent events within the industry, there is now a great opportunity for redirection of the whole concept of flood protection. We must be proactive, rather than reactive in order to build an industry able to deal with the major events that happen from time to time.

Welcome to Jays FW Game Wiki
Jay's FW Game is a collaborative website about Jay's FW Game that Jay can edit.
Currently we're working on Crim's Game .
I find this Link to be a hoot,
Random Earth Location generator
I also enjoyed Jaredia
Jaredia's part of the planet bank . A wonderful source for Alts
Purpose of this Wiki
This is to organize Jay's Notes on his (2009 - onward) Fringe Worthy Game. This also allows quick updating of notes after sessions.
The Game
The premise of 'Fringeworthy is very similar to the GURPS Alternate Worlds concept, H Beam Piper's Paratime, Sliders or Stargate.
However, beneath the basic premise, the execution is different and I find it exciting. The difference is this - In Fringeworthy, The rings lead to an Space in between Space, This space is not unlike the corridor with doorways to other worlds concept, or Narnia's "Wood between the Worlds". However, the positioning or worlds, rings and access remains consistent.
The Fringe Path System is functioning Artifact of a technologically advanced race. See the basics of the Fringepath System.
The PCs are from a world not too unlike ours. They must explore the Fringepaths and try to understand the back story.
Because the Force that drove the ancient builders away from their system is still out there, and still just as dangerous.
Here is a list of nodes of Jay's Fingeworthy Game
There are Forums for Fringeworthy here.
The Game System
I am using D20 Modern as the basis for this game. Although, because PCs can visit other worlds, including worlds where magic is a real force, elements from different flavors of D20 will be seen. Dungeons and Dragons and Star Wars D20 RCR are the other main systems that will be seen.
Why D20 Modern?
Why not Game System X? GURPS 4th ed is designed around alternate world hopping. GURPS 4 and GURPS 3 have enough world books between them to sink a Battleship.
Why Not Hero System. It can simulate any genre adequately, and is probably the best system for describing PCs. (And you can use GURPS resources with it.)
True 20 is a point buy system which allows a GM to avoid unbalanced feats and munchkiny characters
Savage Worlds is fast, easy, and is so popular that it seems the whole Tritac fan-base, development team and people all over are uptaking it fast.
There is nothing wrong with any of those game systems.
I just like D20. That's all.

SPORT - Shogun V debut blitz
Festival of Sails: Day 2, Premier Racing Series, Port Phillip Bay
Sunday, Jan 22: Three Royal Yacht Club of Victoria boats have made a clean sweep of the Melbourne Premier Racing Series, the Festival of Sails icebreaker, on a magic summer's day on Port Philip Bay.
Rob Hanna's rocket ship, the TP52 Shogun V, blitzed the IRC division A field in its debut Victorian regatta. Shogun V finished the six-race series with the perfect scorecard of five firsts after their worst result, a third, was dropped.
"Today was a better day," said the winning skipper. "The light-air early on made it hard to put distance on the rest. When the breeze came in at 21kts we were doing 19kts of boat speed.
"This boat's definitely faster than my previous Shogun, both upwind and downwind. Now it's about learning to sail it properly," said Hanna.
Shogun V's crew has the advantage of having two days to blow away the cobwebs before the Festival of Sails gets into full swing with the Australia Day passage race from Williamstown to Geelong.
"It takes two or three races to get it right, and that can cost a regatta. This IRC series has been fabulous for training and settling in a few newcomers to the crew," added Hanna.
The two strongest blips on Hanna's radar for the next stage of the Festival of Sails are Michael Hiatt's Farr 55 Living Doll, and Jim Farmer's Botin & Carkeek 52 Georgia. "Living Doll will be hard to beat," he warns.
Second in Division A in the Virgin Garden Organic Tea sponsored IRC series, hosted by the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria, was Jason Van Der Slot's TP52 Calm, and third was Nicholas Bartels' Cookson 50 Terra Firma.
The Division B winner was incontestably Grant Botica's Adams 10 Executive Decision. Six wins from six races meant his worst dropped result was the envy of all — a first.
"Today's results were much closer," said Botica. "Everything went right for us, everyone did their job and there were no mishaps. Six races in a fair bit of breeze was a good workout and it's given us confidence going into the Geelong series."
Botica is cognisant the field will widen considerably come Thursday and all the way through to Sunday's final day of racing. "There will be a lot of good sailors at Geelong; we hope we can keep them at bay," he said.
Andrew Saies' former Rolex Sydney Hobart overall winner Two True, was the division B runner-up and Bruce McCraken's Beneteau First 45 Ikon placed third.
The Sydney 38 scoreboard was the closest among the podium placegetters, Bruce Taylor's Chutzpah 38 claiming the victory with a two point advantage over Ian Murray's Cinquante.
"This series was a great warm-up for us," said Taylor. "It's easy to forget how different the Sydney 38 is to my IRC 40, and how different fleet racing is to class racing.
"The racing was so close today, the leader kept changing. Oh, and we managed to keep the swimmers onboard," he added drily.
The full schedule of six races was completed in ideal conditions, sunshine and southeast breeze, which trickled in at 6kts before clocking left and building to a decent 18 to 20kts.
"It was one of those magic days, and there were quite a few onshore enjoying the action," said principle race officer Denis Thompson this afternoon.
The remainder of the 300-plus Festival of Sails starting list will gather en masse on Australia Day, this Thursday, for the traditional 34nm Williamstown to Geelong Passage Race, one of the highlights of the extensive water and shoreside program. — Lisa Ratcliff

Types of Obesity
Android and gynoid
The fat distribution in the body is identified among the two types of obesity – Android and Gynoid. Android is the male types of obesity where excess fat is marked in the upper half of the body. Android type of obesity is likened to the shape of an apple. The shoulders, face, arms, neck, chest and upper portion or the abdomen are bloated. The stomach gives a stiff appearance. So also the arms, shoulders and breast. The back seems to be erect but the neck is compressed. There will be a protruding chest because of the bulk in the stomach. The lower portion of the body-the hips, thighs and legs are thinner beyond proportion in comparison with the upper part. In these persons the vital organs affected will be mostly the heart, liver, kidneys and lungs.
Though this type of obesity is found more in males it is common in females too. Those females who are under hormone treatment for their menstrual abnormalities or after childbirth, are more prone to this type of obesity. It occurs in females around menopause too due to thyroid gland's functional disturbance. In this type, the excess flesh is less likely to reduce especially in females.
High risk of heart diseases
The fat is always on the muscles walls of the vital organs like heart, liver and intestines. When the circumference of the waist is more than the hips, the waist is heavier because the fat is stored in the inside and does not hang loose.
When the fat tissues surround the liver, gall bladder, heart, intestines and kidneys and keep accumulating further, the weight increases pushing out the whole abdomen. The heavy fat tissues do not allow the muscles of these organs to even move property, let alone function. Oxygenated blood becomes steadily insufficient. The cell membranes in the abdomen get bloated by the fat. The cells of these membranes get filled with cholesterol and triglycerides. This makes fat turn out to be fat cells. Unlike the fat cells in other organs, fat cells in the abdomen are more active4. These cells deposit the fat into blood, passing towards the liver. The liver in turn produces low density lipoprotein and sends the same to the blood, proceeding to the heart, lungs and arteries. A portion of this low density lipoprotein become cholesterol, and damages the arteries resulting in heart diseases.
It is certainly evident that the android type of obesity is a major risk for heart damage and heart diseases due to high cholesterol.
Android afflicted can take heart
One marked feature in Android type persons is that they are swift in their movements. They can walk fast, sit down and get up faster than the Gynoid persons. That is why the diet and exercise for this type of persons help a lot to reduce and stay that way, if they try hard to stick to it.
It can be a solace to know that in the android category reduction in the cholesterol level is easier in a weight reducing programme. This is mostly achieved by correcting the diet , avoiding or even reducing the intake of food which is high in cholesterol and by doing exercises regularly.
Gynoid-the female type
In the second type gynoid, the lower part of the body has the extra flesh. This type of obesity is also common to both sexes though females are more affected . gynoid type of obesity is similar to pears(see illustrations on page 46). The flesh is somewhat flabby in the abdomen , thighs, buttocks and legs. The face and neck mostly give a normal appearance. In some persons, the cheeks may be drawn too. As these persons grow old the whole figure assumes a stooping posture and the spine is never erect due to the heavy hips and thighs. The vital organs affected mostly are the kidneys, uterus, intestines, bladder and bowels. But the functions of these organs sometimes have a direct effect on the heart.
In the Gynoid type of obesity where the fat is stored in the hips and thighs, neither diet not the exercise will help reduce weight beyond the certain limit. The weight reduction in the upper part of the body is faster than in the lower part of the body. This is because the fat cells in the hips and thighs do not release much fatty acids as found in the fat cells of other parts of the body, especially the abdomen. So any amount of cycling or other spot reducing exercises or even dieting will not help appreciable. But adding more bulk can be prevented and managed to a great extent.
When we say this type of obesity does not yield much to the diet programme, that does not mean that indiscriminate eating will make no difference at all, because it will. The extra calories consumed will affect the abdomen cells. The size of the abdomen will then increase enormously. This in turn will prove to be a double disadvantage and a high risk factor for serious heart disease.
Lactation, the saviour for women
In the Gynoid type of obesity, the fatty acid form the cells yield only to one activity called lactation. This type of obesity is found mostly in women after childbirth. Unlike rural womenfolk, urban women selfdom breast feed their babies; even if some do, they stop it after a few months. The penalty they play for depriving their children of the valuable breast milk, that is extremely essential for the well being and good health of the child, is to fall a prey to the gynoid type of obesity.
If a young mother wants to stay trim, it is better for her to breast feed her baby. If by any chance, she has passed the breast feeding age, weight reducing programme should include a great amount of physical activities as also a proper diet, because in Gynoid persons, these do help though at a slower pace. Once should have more patience and undertake hard work to achieve the goal of reducing weight and preventing further weight gain.
Uniformity in distribution of flesh
Besides Android and Gynoid, there is one more type of obesity. Some persons neither belong to Android nor to Gynoid category. Their whole body form head to toe looks like a barrel. Their gait is more to rolling rather than walking. The fat tissues in their body hinder the movement of all the internal organs and consequently affect their brisk functioning. This can be understood better from the following example:
Two persons are sleeping in a room.
One covers himself heavily from head to feet with two bed covers and heavy blankets. The other either sleeps with a single bed sheet not covering his head or without any sheet at all. The door bell rings. Who do you think will be first to answer the well? Letters assumed that both are still awake. Assuming that the one inside the heavy covers may be a light sleeper and the other a-sound sleeper, it would still be the later to attend the well first, because he does not have layers of sheets above him to hinter his movements. The farmer on the contrary will take more time to push aside the heavy covering and would also be more tired due to the extra effort of pushing aside the covers.
The third type of obese persons should follow a very strict discipline in diet and do plenty of exercises. For them any exercise is difficult due to the enormous size of the body. So such persons should at first start walking a few miles, slowly increasing the speed day by day. Gradually they must increase the physical activities and continued to be active for ever.

Who: Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem bin Jaber al-Thani.
What: Saudi Arabia ditched all its efforts to mediate in Lebanon's political deadlock after Hezbollah quit the government last week. Saud al-Faisal, Saudi Arabia's foreign minister, told the Saudi king is "withdrawing his hand" from Lebanon. "It's dangerous, particularly if it reaches separatism or the division of Lebanon. This would mean the end of Lebanon as a model of peaceful coexistence between religions and ethnicities and different factions," he added. Meanwhile mediators from Qatar and Turkey met the Lebanese president and prime minister as well as the opposition leader Hasan Nasrallah to speed up the reconciliation efforts.
Where: The meetings took place in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.
When: The Saudi FM issued the statement in an interview with Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya TV channel on Wednesday, 19 January. The Turkish and Qatari officials met important Lebanese politicians on Tuesday.
Why: Hezbollah and their allies brought down Saad Hariri's government last week, when their demands to cut Lebanon's links to the UN-backed tribunal were rejected by him. The Syria and Iran-backed Shiite group says it expects party members to be implicated by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon which it accuses of being part of a US-Israeli plot. Caretaker Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri is a Sunni politician who is backed by Western powers. Reports coming from Beirut say a leaked tape shows Saad Hariri telling a UN investigator in 2007 that Syria is behind his father Rafik Hariri's death in 2005. Syria and its Lebanese allies strongly deny the charge.
How: Hezbollah and its allies have already warned of the serious consequences if the UN tribunal issues verdict against any of its members and tries to arrest them. The Lebanese capital is extremely tense as the Shiite militia showed its street power and held marches in its strongholds. "We think that the situation is in a very dangerous stage and the country is heading toward (problems) on the streets which means dividing the country," Okab Sakr, a Sunni parliamentarian told the media.

Combining intense action with wildly passionate sex, ten times the budget, and more than 600 special effects, Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge – the most expensive and comprehensive adult film in history! Joone was so concerned about the realism that has built a full-scale ship to shoot the film. Happened what awaited by thousands of fans of quality porn in the world for 3 years – came the mega-hit sequel in 2005 – "PIRATES 2" The creators had the difficult task – to surpass the success of the first part of the epic porn and not disappoint the expectations of a huge army of fans of porn. And they coped with this task in the 5 plus. The first thing that this film should be of interest to us – a selection of porn stars. Here we simply indulge creators. Studio Digital Playground except their kotrakt pornstars-world values such as Jesse Jane, Gabriella Fox, Shay Jordan, Stoya, invited luminaries (!), Do not be afraid of the pathos of the word, the world of porn. Just look: Anal Queen Tram tam-tam – Belladonna Another lover of anal gonzo – Brianna Love Another chick that has stirred up the world of gonzo – Jenna Haze One of the coolest and most popular young actresses porn, one of the best young chlenososalok with innocent eyes – Sasha Grey Explosive blonde with really great tits – Shyla Stylez And of course all your favorite fucks from around the world. Second, it is special effects. After the success of the first film's creators have multiplied this budget porn movie many times. This is certainly not the "Transformers", but for the porn industry and the picture quality is impressive and sets a new trend for high quality porn movie. Third: This plot. 2, 5:00 airtime between the sex scenes and special effects filled with a complex plot and diluted share of humor. So, a quick look. This film is a future story. Enjoy!

Dr Lavine: Ok thank you. Next question, how do you recommend to convert loss and paper chart practise with digital imaging? I guess it got cut out here but practise management software as well. As i said i think the first step is choosing the orates e management software because we find that pretty much any good practise management software would be good in that category can ridge with any third party image program . So the important decision here is the practise management software and the best thing that your can do is to get them a copy of your data , have them do a data conversion and know ahead of time what to expect. Honestly, we have seen this with literally hundreds of offices sometimes the data just can't be converted well. It's the old garbage in, garbage out. If you got data that is not perfectly clean you are going to find that it is really a challenge to get that clean the way that you want it to be so often times we are recommend that people will keep the old software running on a couple of front desk computers and as patients come in you manually put in their name, you manually put in their balances. Is it a pain in the rear? Yes but within 9 – 12 months you can get the bulk of your patient population in your software. Again if you can convert it great that always the first choice but when you do that test conversion that's a way to find out and if there is problems what the test conversations you are probably going to have problems with the final version as well and at that point. I would never say don't get a software just because that company cannot convert your data because it may be problem with the software.
Here's a question for Sheryl, i don't think we are balking up to the Maxident. How do we go about that? Is there a fee?
SHERYL: They would call me > that probably the easiest way of doing it. There is a minimal fee because they pay for the space that they use.
Dr Lavine: We do online back up for a list of our clients as well and we use a data system as well and they don't give away that space for free. Usually it's not a major expense.
SHERYL: Well worth it.
Dr Lavine: How much time would a new office need to get up and running? I work with a lot of practises that hare start up practises and it's a process. We usually recommend that you start the process a good 2 – 3 months head of time. If you have ETA and when you plan to be in that space working with a practise all the time. Right now there is a good friend of mine up in Toronto right now and you ideally want to get as much free time as you can because there is so much decision that you have to make , not just the practise management software , even just the technology that we talked about but everything . The archetypal designs, the plumbing to the electrical. It just takes a long time. You've got the permit that has to be use. You have some state and provinces that are a lot better than others and you can get that together. Definitely start as early as you can.
I have medical companies that scan charts that cost very high, they charge per box. Charts can be scanned in by third party. Our company found out what they do charge an armour. That why i wished that have the funds, the time to do something like this t make it low cost .What if someone can buck of a chart. A buck a chart would be a great idea for a business model.
Why is Debus a problem for Maxident? I can answer that one because it's not a problem with Maxident. It's a problem with App Tricks. Sheryl in Canada can you use Dexus with Maxident scanner?
SHERYL: No and it's a limitation of Dexus.
Dr Lavine: Dexus is a very fine censor, please don't get me wrong. They are a great censor .We've got a lot of people using the censor but it tends to be a relatively i proprietary system so it's not going to work with the Maxident software directly or App Tricks or pretty much any third party software . It works really well with their software. It does work with the version of the Mac software in the States only in the military. I'm not sure I'm not sure if you are in the military. If you are not then that's out of the question then you are out of luck.
We've got a couple of comments here. Any recommendations for a reasonable price digital panel? Absolutely, there's a lot of good ones out there. Probably my favourite right now j is the company that's based into the US by 99%. You can get them out in Canada as well. It's called Panoramic Corporation. What they have done is they have taken some of their used films and occasionally refurbished them and fit them with the censor. So the image quality is as good as a new Machine because the censor is dictating image quality . They also have get digitized existing pens as you already got that. The thing that I find most attractive about that is the prices. That most of the new digital pens out there are still in the $30 000- $35 000 range. The PC1000 requisite that we installed for a number of practises it comes with everything. The pen , the computer, the software , shipping , installation , training , warranty , everything for $92 000.00 so it's a really great bargain . Certainly that my favourite system that we can recommend right now.
Other good ones that are out there. Gender 8500, the Plan Meca Pro 1, the instrument is a great unit. So ones are priced a little bit more but both of those are really good pieces. Any experience with I5 or reporting digital images to form your camera to your computer station. I played around with the I5 for those of you who aren't familiar with it. Everyone cows with a digital camera you have like a little memory card and the way that you normally get that memory card to the computer is that you would put the mommy card into a reader and then copy that on. It's basically seen as another hard drive computer so you copy it over and then bring it to your software.
The I5 is memory card that would wirelessly transmit images right to your computer screen. Two reasons why I would not recommend is that it's slow. You're doing Wi-Fi___33 for some large image file. It's going to be slow. They are probably not aware of the I5 working with any dental image file. So you are going to have to put on your desktop first and then cut and paste it into the software. I think it's just adding an extra step. So will not recommend something like that. Who knows what's going to happen over the next few years.
Here's another question. The dentist I work for say that all practises have to go paper less within a certain period of time. True there is a deadline. I know a number of you may not be on for the presentation for the first 5 minutes or so. In the US there is a schedule mandate that we need to be chartless or paperless by the end of the year 2014. Will that actually happen anyone can guess? The reason that i am recommended it is two things. Number one I think insurance companies are probably ought to be the one that dictates what happens. At some point they are going to start taking film and stop taking paper claims. I also think this is peer pressure. I mean more and more office are paperless and chartless and it's an efficient standpoint. There a lot of reason to consider going towards a chartless or paperless environment. The reason why I would be a lot more cautious to this is if you have sales reps that comes in and say you have to get digital x rays , you go to get it And have to get it by 2014 that's not 100% accurate. Don't fall into some of these strong sale pitches. I don't necessarily believe in the case.
What's a good imaging software and a good value for you money. Certainly the one that Maxident sells with the app tricks software. It pretty much works with anyone out there. There is another one XDR. My god there is so many. I tend to be a fan of the one that Maxident uses , the app tricks , the XDR because I really like open ended image software. I think that people should have the ability to pick and choose their censors, their cameras, their foster plate system, their scanners, their digital cameras and have them all working together.
So that's why i tend to like those types of programs and that would be my recommendation. Believe it or not we are out of time and pretty much out of question .We've got a few more here. What's your recommendation for your number and location of monitors to record in an operator? I would say probably 80%-85% of the offices that we have set up in the last number of years have gone dual screen , two screens . One for the patient often time coming from the ceiling or a light bulb that is going to show them images, show them patient education. If you want them to watch a DVD or TV fine. One that is going to be behind the patient. It's for use by the dentist. I think you can pretty much do everything you want with 2 monitors.
We have more and more offices that we are working with that are going 3 monitors, 4 monitors. Honestly from an IT stand point they are a night mare. The quad carts that are out there that can handle three or four models are not easy to deal it. More often than that we get a call from the office on regular basis that will say we can't find out images on our monitor. I text them as say well do if you look on your other monitor's get really confusing to kind of deal with multiple monitors. I typically recommend 2 monitors. I think that's definitely fine.
What was the name of the Micro Tech? I think it was called the Media scanner. I am going to do a research on that and when I send the list I should have it on there. If I don't for whatever reason and I'm going to put it on there to I will get to that. We are done. Sheryl is there anything else that you want to add at this point.
SHERYL: No not at this point. If they have any questions on Maxi dents, conversion, it might be pricing option they can just give me a call directly. My number is … i don't know if you are going to provide that but my number is 1800 -663-7199 and I'm extension 33 to get my line direct .
Dr Lavine: I don't have that number. Do you want to go ahead and repeat that one more time?
SHERYL: 1800-633-7199 extension 33 or they can just email us at maxsoftware.com.
Dr Lavine: Ok. The other thing i should just mention to remind everybody as soon as you log out of the webinar you're going to see a little skin that comes up. if you want me to contact youth any additional question or just want to set up some time to talk . Again we don't change for that. if you definitely want to hear form Sheryl , for Maxident sooner than later just indicate that on the survey as well and she will be in touch with you shortly . I want to thank everybody for joking. I think we had a great turn out, well over 100 people this evening. Some great question as well. We will send everybody more information about the upcoming webinars. The next one is in about 5 week on the infrastructure which i think is really critical. You can put computer software unless you got computer so that would be a god topic as well. Thank you everyone again for coming and the great questions and we will see you all again shortly.

How do I sell my junk car?
3 simple steps to get cash for your vehicle in as little as 24 hours
If you have an old vehicle that you're desperate to get rid of, then you've probably been wondering, "How do I sell my junk car?"
Up until recently, it wasn't very easy at all. Here's why:
Classified ads are more expensive than ever
This often defeats the purpose of selling the car at all, because the cost of the ad takes a huge chunk out your "profit." Plus, no matter which newspaper you place your ad in, it's likely to get lost among thousands of other ads. Total waste of money.
Serious buyers are hard to find.
Whether you want to "sell my junk car" or you have an almost-new vehicle you want to get rid of, you'll receive numerous low-ball offers before you get a serious buyer. It could be months before a real offer comes along.
Your car just sits and costs you money.
Every day your car sits, it loses more value. Plus, if you're still paying insurance on it and paying for things like oil changes and tires, then it's costing you more and more money as it sits.
You're forced to deal with strangers.
Anytime you put an ad online or in a newspaper, you expose yourself to the world. People have your phone number and they know where you live. Do you really want strangers calling you and coming to your home at any time of day or night?
Spam calls and emails won't stop.
Just when you think you have a real offer, it turns out to be a spam offer trying to get YOU to buy someone else's stuff! All it takes is one classified listing to open the floodgates to dozens of spam emails and phone calls.
The good news is, there's now a much easier way to sell your car!
At Copart Direct, we constantly hear from people who tell us they need to "sell my junk car." And you know what we do? We make an offer!
We buy cars of nearly any make, model or mileage, all over the United States, and we pay cash for it in-person in as little as 24 hours. It's the fast, easy, hassle-free way to sell your used car or truck.
Sell my junk car, really? Yes! It only takes 3 steps.
Copart Direct uses a simple 3-step process to purchase cars from sellers across the country. Here's how easy it is.
1) Request an offer.
Simply call us at 1-888-883-9981 or fill out the form at www.CopartDirect.com. We'll ask you some quick, simple questions about your vehicle: what make and model it is, what year, how many miles are on it, and so on.
Our friendly, knowledgeable representatives will use that information to make you a fair offer for your car. There's no obligation or pressure. It's completely up to you if you want to accept or not.
2) Schedule a pick up.
If you accept our offer, your Copart Direct agent will ask you for a convenient time to come pick it up. We can meet you at your home or work – whatever is best for you.
Copart Direct has more than 140 locations across the United States (we're even in Europe!), so we can typically arrange to pick up your car by the following day – sometimes the same day you call us!
3) Get cash on the spot.
When your Copart Direct agent arrives to pick up your vehicle, he or she will give you cash on the spot.
Simply have the title and keys ready to exchange, and you'll have cash in hand, and your junk car will finally be gone.
If it sounds simple, that's because it is. This whole process can take place within just 1 day, which means you could finally "sell my junk car" within 24 hours.
What happens after I sell my junk car?
The faster you sell your vehicle, the sooner you can use that cash for something else.
The reason why Copart Direct can make these offers, and pay more for your vehicle, is because we have an extensive buyer base all over the world. We are a subsidiary of Copart, Inc., a leading online global auction company. Copart has been around for 30 years and currently sells more than 1,000,000 used and salvage vehicles every year to buyers around the world.

Sons and Lovers
The Illusion of Women's Power in D.H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers 12th Grade
During the early twentieth century, the idea of women having as much power as men was foreign: men were not only better educated, but were also the primary breadwinners for the family. Though individuals do not have the ability to immediately alter how their society is structured, attempts can be made to rectify inequalities. Women in D.H. Lawrence's novel Sons and Lovers try to create their own power by adopting certain views about themselves in relation to men. By creating certain mindsets, the characters of Gertrude Morel, Clara Dawes, and Miriam Leivers mentally elevate themselves to positions of power. These mindsets include adopting attitudes of indifference, ownership, and self-sacrifice towards the men with whom they have relationships. However, the problems they try to overcome do not disappear, but are further entrenched.
A certain mindset may be key to success for some, but for the women in Lawrence's novel, changing perception does not entail transforming reality.The thoughts of Gertrude Morel and her husband Walter Morel function on two different levels: while Gertrude possesses faculties that allow her to appreciate higher forms of thinking like philosophy and religion, Walter is simple-minded, more concerned with...

How do I find what computer motherboard I have?
If you need to identify your motherboard (the model number), you can do one of the below three things.
If you're trying to identify the motherboard for any of the reasons below, view these links for additional related information.
Identifying through Windows or another utility
You can view the manufacturer and model number in your Windows system using the System Information utility. To access this utility, follow the steps below.
Windows 10 & Windows 8
- On the Windows desktop screen, press Windows key + X to open the Power User Task Menu.
- Select the Run option in the menu.
- In the Run text field, type msinfo32 and press Enter.
Windows 7 and earlier versions
- Open the Start menu.
- Click on All Programs > Accessories > System Tools, then select the System Information utility.
This utility provides a good bit of information about your computer. On the System Summary screen, you will find the motherboard manufacturer (System Manufacturer) and motherboard model (System Model). For example, for a computer with an MSI motherboard, the manufacturer would be MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL and the System Model could be MS-7599, for example. The Model is the model number of the motherboard.
The motherboard may also be listed as the BaseBoard.
If your computer is an OEM computer, such as a Dell or Hewlett Packard, the model number may be the model number of your computer and not the motherboard. For these computers, we suggest referring to the technical documentation for the model of the computer. These documents can be downloaded directly from the computer manufacturer.
The documentation or technical notes for your computer or motherboard also include the motherboard information. PDF versions of these documents can be downloaded from the computer manufacturer or motherboard manufacturer website.
Visually identifying
Finally, every computer motherboard has a silk screened name of the model and the manufacturer printed on the motherboard. For example, in the picture below, this motherboard has the model number (PSAD2-E) printed above the memory slots. Click the image below to get a larger view of this picture.
If you cannot locate the model number of a motherboard, but can locate an FCC identification number, it is recommended that you perform a search using that instead. Additional information about FCC numbers and how to search for information about them is on our FCC definition.
Motherboard form factor
If you are looking for additional information about the type or form factor of the motherboard, see the form factor definition. That page contains sections about each of the motherboard form factors and information on how to distinguish each of them.
Chipset or driver update
If you are trying to determine chipset or motherboard information to update the drivers or the BIOS, see the motherboard drivers section for further information.
Product listing or specifications
If you are trying to list all the specific information about your computer motherboard, specifying the manufacturer, form factor, and specifications of the motherboard is sufficient. Below is an example of how a motherboard could be listed in your system specifications. If you're listing this information to sell the computer, keep in mind that most people are not going to be too concerned about the specific motherboard in the computer.
Intel D815EGEW ATX using a 1.1 GHz processor and 512 MB of memory
Replacement or repair
If you are trying to determine the motherboard because it needs to be replaced or repaired, it is recommended that the motherboard be replaced instead of repaired. Because of the complexity of today's motherboards, it can be very difficult and costly to repair a motherboard and it is easier and cheaper to replace the motherboard.

Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday said the government is considering a proposal to allow use of methanol as a fuel for ships, which he said would be a cheaper, cleaner and forex-saving alternative to diesel.
"We are studying deeply how to use methanol as a marine fuel and will be going before the Cabinet soon," he told reporters here.
"Eight days ago we had a meeting (with veteran scientist and Niti Aayog member V K Saraswat) where we decided that if marine engines are run on methanol, it can be import substitute, cost-effective and pollution-free," the minister said.
Saraswat examined a proposal to build 40 bunkers of liquefied natural gas along the river Ganga as part of the inland waterways project, and suggested methanol as an alternative (to LNG), Gadkari said.
Against Rs 60 for a litre of diesel, methanol would cost Rs 20-25, while its calorific value is better than that of diesel, he said, adding "the biggest priority for us is how to reduce the cost of fuel."
The minister also quipped that loss-making civic transport undertaking BEST of Mumbai can cut its losses if it starts running its buses on methanol.
Methanol is used as fuel in several countries, he said, recounting his travel on a cruise ship in Sweden which ran on 100 per cent methanol.
As the fuel is derived from coal, switch-over to methanol would benefit India, a coal surplus country, he said.
The fuel can be sourced from fertiliser companies such as RCF and Deepak Fertilisers located in or near Mumbai, one of the biggest maritime trade hubs in the country, he said.
Swedish automaker Volvo has built trucks running on methanol while Wartsila has made an engine running on 100 per cent methanol, he said.
Existing diesel engines can be converted into methanol ones by fitting a kit, similar to the one used to convert petrol or diesel engines into Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) engines, he said.

Life has kept me busy lately. I haven't had an opportunity to write much, and I desperately miss it! I have a ton of ideas floating around in my head, but no time to write. At any rate, I do have some news to share regarding "The Barefoot Running Book."
The book is now available on Amazon.com; it can be found here:
It is continually out of stock right now; I assume it takes some time for Amazon to estimate appropriate inventory. Check back periodically.
I have also created a page for the book on Facebook:
I will be giving away one copy of the book to one random fan of the page. To qualify, all you have to do is go to this address and "like" it. I will choose the winner Sunday evening (May 2nd.) In the very near future, Angie Bee, a fellow barefoot runner, blogger, and friend will also be giving away a copy of the book. Check out her blog!
On the Guinness World Record front, planning is going well. I'm finding that race planning is not my gig, but I am getting a lot of help and support from Shelly, Andy G., Scott H., and Adam F. The t-shirts for the event are designed and can be ordered here: http://barefootrunninguniversity.com/shirts.html. The caveat- they have to be ordered by tomorrow (Friday April 30th) at noon EST. We need an accurate count to give to the shirt printer. All proceeds will go towards supporting students at my school. Here's a pic:

I wish I could explain to her,
Why there are so many wars, and peace is hard to find.
I'm ashamed to say I'm only 21 and I live a better life
Than the majority of the world.
Hatred, shame, brutality, at the moment rule the earth.
If tell her peace will return, it would only be wishful of me to think,
And I feel like such a hypocrite,
Explaining humanity's suffering from a distance, out the thick of it.
As if I can really understand how people out there live,
Whilst sitting in my house, with running water made of brick.
Come si dice…Peace?
I wish I could explain to her,

CONSTANTA, Romania - It all started with an incredible run in the Eternal City and now, six months later, she's on the brink of the Top 10 - Simona Halep is the WTA's Most Improved Player Of The Year.
For years, Halep had been touted as a future star - a Grand Slam champion and World No.1 in juniors, buckets of talent, even three WTA finals to her name between 2010 and 2012. But she never quite got that one big result - that big breakthrough that served as proof she'd make it just as big in the pros.
Going into the Internazionali BNL d'Italia in May, Halep was still stuck in that place. In her first nine WTA main draws of 2013 she put together a 7-9 record, which - combined with her 5-11 record in her last 11 WTA main draws of 2012 - added up to winning just 12 of her last 32 WTA main draw matches.
Boy, did things turn around in Rome.
As a No.64-ranked qualifier, Halep went on the kind of run that turns a contender into a believer, beating four of the game's biggest names - Svetlana Kuznetsova, Agnieszka Radwanska, Roberta Vinci and Jelena Jankovic - before finally running out of gas against Serena Williams in the semifinals.
"It was an incredible week for me," Halep said after falling to Williams that day. "I feel good that I'm No.44 now. It's difficult to think about how high I can go now, because it's hard work and every week it's difficult for every player, so I just have to keep going and working and we'll see what happens."
What happened was a breakthrough six months - including that run in Rome, Halep went 43-8 in her last 14 WTA main draws of the year, winning her first six WTA titles at Nürnberg, 's-Hertogenbosch, Budapest, New Haven, Moscow and Sofia, and finishing No.11 on the November 4 year-end rankings.
"I want to enjoy this moment and then take some holidays, and just relax," Halep said after capturing the title in Sofia. "Hopefully I can play next year like I played this year and do well in Australia."
All eyes should be on Halep's ranking in Australia - she's just a few hundred points away from the No.10-ranked player in the world and, with little to defend in the first four months of the year, she looks like the best bet to become the next player to break into the world's Top 10 for the first time.
That could be big news in Romania - only two Romanians have ever made the Top 10 on the WTA, namely Virginia Ruzici, who got to No.8, and Irina Spirlea, who got to No.7. How high can Halep go?

Paul Manafort, Donald Trump's campaign chairman, has resigned, the campaign announced in a statement Friday.
"This morning Paul Manafort offered, and I accepted, his resignation from the campaign," Trump said. "I am very appreciative for his great work in helping to get us where we are today, and in particular his guiding us through the delegate and convention process. Paul is a true professional and I wish him the greatest success."
Manfort's role in the campaign was reportedly diminished this week with the Republican presidential nominee naming longtime adviser Kellyanne Conway as campaign manager and Breitbart's Stephen Bannon as chief executive.
Trump told The Wall Street Journal that he was making the changes because "I want to win. That's why I'm bringing on fantastic people who know how to win and love to win."
Friction reportedly developed between Manafort and Trump over the campaign's direction as his poll numbers fell against Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Manafort himself has been a distraction to the campaign over questions about his previous business dealings in Ukraine.
[A Dangerous Gig: Working for Paul Manafort]
The Associated Press reported Wednesday that Manafort helped a pro-Russia group in Ukraine secretly route more than $2 million in payments to two Washington lobbying firms to try to influence U.S. policy.
On Friday, the AP reported that emails showed Manafort's company led the effort to sway American public opinion in favor of Ukraine's pro-Russian government.
According to the AP, Manafort and his deputy Rick Gates tried to gain positive coverage of Ukrainian politicians in newspapers like The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
The report also said Gates, who worked for Manafort at the time, directed Washington, D.C., law firms Mercury LLC and the Podesta Group to set up meetings between Ukrainian officials and members of Congress.
The Podesta Group was co-founded by Tony and John Podesta, who now serves as campaign chairman for Clinton.
The New York Times reported this week that handwritten ledgers designated $12.7 million in payments to Manafort from the pro-Russian party of former President Viktor Yanukovych.

Gift cards for your guns?…
This program will likely fail. No self-respecting gun owner is going to accept a $100 or $200 gift card for a weapon when most private re-sale prices are well above this and the weapon could go to someone who could make good use it for sport or defense (perhaps his or her first weapon).
On the other hand… As several of the YouTube comments have speculated, this "no questions asked" gift card offer is a great way to get rid of stolen or otherwise dirty weapons and possibly make a profit- selling them to the police for other people's money! Oh, sweet irony, what a deal! Maybe the program will be a "success"!
Good luck on this one, Mr. McGinn.

Genesis also shows us how God is at work in the lives of the Patriarchs, introducing us to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph, and setting the scene for the next book Exodus. This time it's all about Moses and the Israelites' harrowing escape from Egypt. Let My People Go [Exodus] begins with the story of baby Moses being plucked from the river by Pharaoh's daughter, saved so he could grow up to lead God's people out of Egypt. He meets God in a burning bush, witnesses the miraculous parting of the Red Sea and wanders in the desert. It's there that the Lord makes a covenant with his people and gives them a new set of rules, the Ten Commandments. The book of Exodus is all about salvation and redemption - what they are and why we need them!
