text: Until recently, Maria Loi had her own cooking show on Greece's most successful morning program and on the country's leading TV network, Mega Channel, which ran for years. Maria captures viewers of all ages and has huge appeal in the 15 - 40+ demographic, which represents almost 60% of all viewers. Along with her TV work, she is an author of several cookbooks, including the highly coveted official book for the Athens 2004 Olympic Games titled "Ancient Dining". Maria also produces her own weekly magazine, "Kouzino Mageiremata", with interesting articles and great recipes and has a series of DVD's as well. Maria is a former Public Affairs Specialist and Lobbyist. She has successfully undertaken projects for multinational conglomerates such as the energy giant Texaco; the telecommunication pioneer Nokia; the Sheraton Hotel chain; and Net Hold International. As a result of her innovative spirit and strong desire to explore new frontiers, Maria moved on from her exemplary lobbying career to pursue her real passion of cooking with enormous new success. A born businesswoman, she owns a gourmet restaurant in idyllic Nafpaktos, Greece; designs her own line of home electrical micro appliances and dinnerware under her name brand; and is a founding partner in a clothing business representing international fashion firms. Tireless Maria is also heavily involved in philanthropic causes. She is one of Elpida's (a foundation for children stricken with cancer) core founders. Nowadays, she oversees a scholarship fund that helps underprivileged young adults to obtain a valuable college education in major universities of Europe and the United States. Maria also gets involved in fund raising for various worthy causes. Today, Maria happily spends most of her time cooking, writing and educating the world about Greek cuisine, culture, and the healthy Mediterranean diet. To that end, she has co-produced and developed a new television show called "It's all Greek" which will be airing internationally beginning this fall. Maria strives to show her viewing audience that this cuisine can be mastered by anyone who wants to learn. Knowing Maria, this is just the beginning of much more to come!

Looks like we have a pretty week ahead of us.
While the boat is in the yard getting her bottom prettied up along with some other minor work, Im hoping to have her back in the water and ready to fish by Friday, 10/26.
Corral a buddy or two and give me a shout and lets go to sea and find some decent fish to make a reel scream on a bent rod!

Jenkins is the sole survivor from that 2007 campaign in Wales' starting line-up for Sunday's World Cup reunion with the South Sea Islanders at Waikato Stadium.
As in the last World Cup, a quarter-final place is at stake for Wales, only this time they appear better equipped to deal with it.
"It's obviously in the back of the mind, as games like that are when you lose," said Jenkins, reflecting on the 38-34 loss to Fiji in Nantes.
"But there is a completely different dynamic here now, a lot of different players, and I think we believe a lot more.
"We expected to win last time, but there was always a doubt that we weren't playing that well. We will go into this game on the back of five good performances, really.
"Perhaps in 2007, we went into the Fiji game possibly a little bit complacent, a little bit arrogant, thinking we were going to win that game easily.
"But Fiji showed on the day just how good a side they are, and we've got to step up and perform.
"I don't like talking about ticking the boxes, but everything is in place for a player when he comes into this squad to get on the field and then it it is up to the player to impose himself on the game.
"Everything is in place for us to be a good team. This is probably one of the best chances we've had to push on, and it starts Sunday."
Wales coach Warren Gatland has made seven changes for the Pool D finale following a record 81-7 World Cup win against Namibia four days ago.
Wing Shane Williams (thigh strain), full-back James Hook (shoulder) and flanker Dan Lydiate (ankle) were all unavailable for selection.
But the key trio remain on course to make a probable quarter-final appointment with Ireland in Wellington tomorrow week.
Gatland retains a number of the side that crushed Namibia, including centre Scott Williams, who scored three tries, full-back Lee Byrne and the entire back-row of Ryan Jones, skipper Sam Warburton and number eight Toby Faletau.
Warburton and Faletau will make their fourth successive starts of the World Cup, meaning they are the only players in Wales' 30-man World Cup squad with 100% appearance records.
Gatland has recalled powerful Scarlets wing George North, with Leigh Halfpenny moving to the left flank, and Scott Williams features at outside centre, accommodating midfield partner Jamie Roberts' midfield return.
Half-backs Rhys Priestland and Mike Phillips are reunited, while switches in the pack see call-ups for hooker Huw Bennett, prop Adam Jones and lock Luke Charteris.
"Shane (Williams) might have been available to us if we had pushed him," Gatland said.
"But he has taken a limited part in training this week and we are happy with the back-three we have been able to put on the field for this game.
"The good thing at the moment is that we hope everyone should be fit next week, the full squad of 30, and it's a great job that the fitness staff and the medical staff have done.
"We feel like we have a really good balance in the squad that can threaten any team that we come up against.
"We have not always had that in the past, but we have some size in the backs, we have some pace and we have some really good ball-carriers, and the lineout and the scrum have been functioning exceptionally well.
"There is no greater motivation than playing a quarter-final. You win a quarter-final and then you are here until the end of the World Cup.
"That for me as a player would be a huge amount of motivation, not having to get on a plane. Knowing that you are going to be here right to the end."

CD/LP/Track Review
Tierney Sutton: Unsung Heroes (1999)
Vocalese. The mellow personalities of the guitar flugelhorn, and trombone, coupled wish the breathy piping of an alto/soprano voice combine to make Unsung Heroes a very cool proposition. Several primarily vocalese discs have found their way to me recently, all sporting accomplished, even incendiary, vocal challenges met. I would not describe Tierney Sutton's voice as such. She is dry ice cool like the 1950s Art Pepper alto saxophone. The results are very appealing and technically accomplished.
Scat Cat. Sutton is not afraid to scat. No, not at all. She offers an amazing duet with Buddy Childers on "Bernie's Tune" and trades fours evenly with Gary Foster on "Indiana/Donna Lee". Dizzy's "Con Alma" is very cool with a masterful interpolation of Bach's "Aire on a G Sting". The entire accompaniment is tastefully understated, leaving the front light to Sutton, who willingly shares it with the soloists. Buy this for "Bernie's Tune." There exists a perfect empathy between Sutton and her band on this recording. The sonics are superb and engineering accomplished.
The jazz world is still looking for singers to step into the shoes of Ella, Sarah, and Betty. Tierney Sutton jumps into the fray with authority on this disc. Her voice is more of a finesse versus power game, but finesse she has.
Track Listing: Remember Me; Early Autumn; A Timeless Place; Bernie's Tune' Spring Is Here; Joy Spring; All For One; Indiana/Donna Lee; When The Lights Are Low; Con Alma. (Total Time: 57:28)
Personnel: Tierney Sutton: Vocals; Christian Jacob: Piano; Trey Henry: Bass; Ken Wild: Bass; Ray Brinker: Drums; Gary Foster: Alto Flute, Alto Saxophone; Buddy Childers: Flugelhorn; Alan Kaplan: Trombone; Jamie Findley: Guitar.
Record Label: Telarc Records

B v. H - The H index debate
The mis-application of H-index and its hindrance to academic nutritionists
In common with many mid-career scientists, my progression forwards is now inextricably linked with my H-index. This is an increasingly used metric for reducing both the quality and quantity of a scientist's entire career output to a single integer. Panels or individuals responsible for appointment of new staff, promotion of existing staff or transfer to tenured posts will now require one to submit an H-score for consideration. Available information suggests that rejection can be on the basis of H-score alone, so it must be a robust measure, right?
I have spent approximately 20 years since graduation pursuing science as a career, and have noted over time the fluid switching of goalposts from 'publish more' to 'publish higher impact' to 'get more grants' and back again, the stick ever changing and the carrot ever-distant. The H-index supposedly offers a leveller, a barometer of both quantity and quality as it reflects peers' citations of one's entire body of work. It is a relatively simple metric that scores the point at which your number of publications equals your number of citations of publications. To get an H-index of 40 one needs forty papers which have forty citations (although this will in practise mean a lot more than forty papers). The index has been subject to a number of criticisms, for example if one were consistently to target only the highest impact journals and, say, get five papers in Cell, each with >200 citations, one's H-index would remain at five, despite a body of work of earth-shattering consequence. Likewise, one could flagrantly write flimsy reviews on a monthly basis for indexed journals, each self-citing the previous reviews and get that H well into double-figures within 1 year, despite a body of work of mind-numbing mediocrity. In a recent editorial in ACS Chemical Biology, tongue firmly in cheek, James Williamson suggested a series of strategies to bump-up one's H-index. Strategies included changing fields, ensure that you are working in a field that is busy, where lots of citations are made in the first place. Second, write more reviews – it is clear that review journals have higher impact than original research-led journals and as I sit on a couple of journal editorial boards it is evident that Editors in Chief regard reviews as a cash cow (or citation-cow) for chasing higher impact factors (IF); Williamson also suggests 'discrete self-citation', promoting papers just below one's own impact threshold, and adding as much data as possible into papers as 'impact caching'. This makes for very amusing reading and is certainly ironic, but whilst the H-index remains the tool of choice for evaluating a body of work, it is a sad reflection that these and other strategies will likely become practised, if they are not already. To these strategies, I am minded to suggest one of my own: stop doing research altogether. The process of writing grants, writing papers and administering students does nothing for your H-index and you would be better off finding very prolific scientists to hang out with, give a little support and get your name on their papers. H does not care if you are mid- first- or last author, so why should you? This strategy will very rapidly get you a high H with none of the emotional torment associated with actually practising science.
To my mind there are two key issues here: the reductionist approach of a career body of work to an integer and the lack of indicative thresholding. The latter issue is of key importance for researchers in some areas of nutrition and similar smaller disciplines. An H-index reflects the amount of times a body of work is cited, but does not account for the size of the field (i.e. total number of citations in the field). A proxy measure of the latter comes from the IF of the leading research journals in the field, with areas like medicine, gastroenterology, cell biology, oncology all having lead journals with IF well into double figures; nutrition, likely due to the size of the field, lags with a best achievable IF of approximately 6. Are nutritionists therefore subject to a level playing field when being judged using this metric? When hearing about the introduction of H-index as a promotional gauge in my own department, I asked a minuted question about how the metric would be applied, whether it would be differential, how the evaluation of 'young' papers would be accounted for, and if flat thresholding was to be applied across the disciplines, what the thresholds would be, and if variable thresholds were to be set, then how in turn would they be subject to indicative thresholds. I am still waiting for an answer on the indicative thresholds, but have nonetheless been told my H-index does not reach them.
I am very sceptical of the quantification of quality. Is it really true that an entire body of work can be evaluated through a single metric? I doubt this, and I am not alone in doubting it. There is too much variety in the scheme of science (consider the hypothetical examples above). It is my belief that once any strategy for quantification of quality is suggested, the metric will immediately cease to measure that quality, but only the ability of the measuree to play the game. This might apply equally to H-index, the RAE/REF, environmental impact, NICE guidelines. However, only the first of these is electively used by scientists to judge each other. Such judgement is lazy and ill-informed and provokes suspicion that the H-index is not so much used as a leveller, but as a way to create obstacles to career progression. By all means make a judgement, but make it on sound and justified grounds. After all, we are humans – not numbers ….
….Finally, the Editor of the Gazette in which this article first appeared, had originally suggested that this piece was one half of a debate with a 'for' and 'against' piece and some right to reply. Unfortunately, no-one approached was willing to argue for the H-index. Whilst not a systematic piece of research, it is still a damning reflection on the questionability of the metric that no-one believes in it enough to support it publicly. If you do believe the index is a leveller, that has benefits I have missed or that this article is unfair, please use the comments section below to reply as this debate needs to be conducted, not imposed.

According to Thai law, foreigners may own 49 percent of the aggregate sellable unit space, while the remaining 51 percent must be owned by either Thai nationals or majority owned (51 percent) Thai Companies. Once the 49 percent foreign ownership quota has been achieved, overseas buyers wishing to make a purchase can do so via a Thai company structure.
Certain foreign investors are allowed to own a unit in a condominium, provided that the total foreign ownership of the building in question does not exceed 40% of the total units in the condominium. The foreign investors which are entitled to condominium ownership under this rule are: (1) foreign investors permitted to reside permanently in Thailand under the Immigration Act; (2) foreign investors permitted to enter Thailand under the Investment Promotion Act; (3) the Thai entities set out above (see introduction) which are deemed to be "foreign" investors; (4) foreign entities that are granted a certificate of promotion under the Investment Promotion Act; and (5) other foreign investors, both natural and juristic persons, who have brought foreign currency into Thailand to purchase condominium units.

Buffalo Trace Preserve lies in the Eden Shale Belt of the Bluegrass Region. Scattered along what is believed to be an historical bison trace is the federally endangered Short's goldenrod (Solidago shortii). About 13 populations are located within one mile of Blue Licks Battlefield State Park off of US 68.
The Blue Licks were an important area for buffalo before settlement, and several large traces followed by these animals converged here. Dr. Lucy Braun -- who rediscovered the plant in 1939, a century after Dr. Short first collected it -- speculated that bison may have played a role in the dispersal of the goldenrod and that the distribution may have been correlated with disturbance caused by them.
Fleming County
15.5 acres
Due to the sensitivity of the site, the preserve is open to the public only through Conservancy guided hikes.
Short's goldenrod is a rare member of the aster family and is considered endemic to Kentucky. It is known only from about 7 sites within the area of Blue Licks Battlefield State Park. The plants are scattered in openings within a red cedar forest and in nearby old-fields and along roadsides.
A concerted effort by the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission and The Nature Conservancy protects a great deal of the Short's goldenrod habitat. Several sites have been registered on the Kentucky Natural Areas Registry Program and -- under a voluntary program -- many landowners have agreed to protect the area to the best of their abilities and contact the agencies about threats or intentions to see their property.
While protection efforts are underway, life history and ecological requirements studies need to be completed to determine best management practices for Short's goldenrod. The Conservancy is conducting research on management techniques, especially maintenance through fire management and canopy removal or thinning.

On Tuesday I unlatched the car seats, vacuumed out a metric ton of goldfish and sand from my minivan seats, and piled three friends into the car for a trip to see Ellen.
First we stopped at the Grove, where we saw A.C. Slater.
We had a giant lunch at Wood Ranch, and took full advantage of half-price wine Tuesdays.
Then we headed to the show, which apparently was being taped on the surface of the sun. We had to stand outside for about four minutes, and you have never heard such whining from a group of women before. We were sweating, people, and we were pissed.
We got in, and seated in the generously air-conditioned studio. See that blurry figure toward the back? That's me on my television debut. Hi, Mom!
Perhaps you know that everyone dances in the audience? I love Ellen, but I don't dance in public. And I didn't have nearly enough of that half-price wine to have stopped caring. Still, peer pressure and all, I danced, and I didn't die from humiliation, or spontaneously combust, so hooray!
It was totally worth the tag-team babysitting situation I had to work out, and driving into LA, which I normally hate. Driving with people who can buckle their own seat belts and carry on a conversation is totally enjoyable. Who knew?
Oh, and we won a year of free Tide, so even my husband thought it was well worth it!

Let's go over the red flags in this e-mail that you need to watch out for:
At first glance, this whole thing looks perfectly normal. Let's start with the salutation – "Dear customer." Any e-mail that does not address you by name should immediately make you suspicious.
Next, it tells you the parcel has arrived at the Post Office. Why would a shipping company like FedEx send a package to the Post Office -- which is its competition?
In the next line it states, our "postrider" was unable to deliver. And it instructs you to "go to the nearest our office and show the receipt." Most scam e-mails come from foreign countries, written by someone who speaks broken English. Watch for bad grammar and unusual words.
And finally, of course, the link to click on -- as we've said before, never click on a link in an e-mail from someone you do not know.
News 8 has seen an increase in this kind of scam e-mail recently because of the holiday shipping season. But these kind of phishing e-mails have been around for years.
So, FedEx, UPS and even the U.S. Postal Service have a lot of information about spotting and reporting this kind of e-mail on their websites. Links are posted below:

Can't keep up pace: Cleveland Cavaliers get routed at home by Indiana Pacers
CLEVELAND — With their top three players already out of the game, Cavaliers center Marreese Speights picked a "great" time to get ejected.
The short-handed Cavs were manhandled by the Indiana Pacers, 111-90, on Monday before 13,016 at Quicken Loans Arena.
However, with 48.4 seconds left in the third quarter, Speights horse-collared Pacers forward around the neck. He was slapped with a Flagrant-2 foul and kicked out of the game.
The Cavs (22-45) were already playing without guard Kyrie Irving (sprained shoulder), center Anderson Varejao (knee surgery) and shooting guard Dion Waiters (sore left knee).
Waiters played the entire first quarter and wasn't heard from again. The Cavs decided to sit him for the rest of the game. Waiters, their second-leading scorer at 14.9 points per game, will be re-evaluated in the morning.
"It's been lingering the last couple of games and it just wasn't feeling right tonight," Waiters said. "I came in the back and the doctor said we'll find out tomorrow."
He said it's too early to say if he'll be able to face the Miami Heat on Wednesday.
Waiters hadn't complained of any soreness in his knee before Monday. He had just four points and two assists before taking a seat.
The three missing players combine to score 52 points a night. Not that there's ever a good time to face the Heat, but the Cavs might be in serious trouble on Wednesday.
Cavs coach Byron Scott said he wasn't embarrassed by his team's effort against the Pacers. Continued...
"We played a very good team," he said. "They took it to us right from the get-go. This will be good for us to go against playoff-type teams. Our focus has to be there for 48 minutes."
Swingman C.J. Miles led all scorers with 21 points. Fourteen of his points came in the second quarter.
Power forward Tristan Thompson recorded his 25th double-double with 20 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks. Ten of his points came in garbage time.
"We got our (butt) kicked," Thompson said. "We didn't come out with any fight. We took the first hit and couldn't recover. We have to come out and throw the first punch."
Speights didn't hang around long enough to speak to the media. He dressed and was out of the arena in a flash.
"Any time you grab someone around the neck, they are going to eject you," Scott said. "I didn't think it was that bad. It wasn't the smartest thing in the world to do."
Pacers power forward Tyler Hansbrough, starting in place of the injured David West, had 18 points and 11 rebounds in only his second start of the season.
"Tyler Hansbrough is a starter in this league, that we have coming off the bench," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said.
The Pacers had just four other players in double figures. Small forward Gerald Green had a team-high 20 points and six rebounds.
"I was just trying to win the basketball game," Green said. "It's not about my moment. It's about us winning. (We're) trying to win this division title." Continued...
George, an All-Star, added 14 points, four rebounds and four assists.
The Pacers (41-26) are the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race. They got 12 points, nine rebounds and five blocks from 7-foot-2 center Roy Hibbert.
Scott said the difference in the game is the aggressiveness of the Pacers' big men.
"It all starts inside," he said. "All those guys are more physical than our guys."
Waiters said the Cavs just didn't come into the game with the right frame of mind.
"They were physical," he said. "They battle. They fought. They out-toughed us.
"If we have to foul hard, we have to foul hard. We have to let them know it's not going to be easy. They came into our house and beat us down."
Scott said he really can't change anything if Waiters isn't well enough to face the Heat.
"(I'm not going to do much but) go home tonight and pray," he said.

Despite more organic food and beverage products on grocery store shelves, all is not healthy in the world of pesticide-free, additive-free edibles.
Despite more organic food and beverage products on grocery store shelves, all is not healthy in the world of pesticide-free, additive-free edibles. The trend is hot right now, but consumer and product researcher Mintel predicts that market growth rates for organic food and beverages will slow.
Organic/natural products rank only behind whole grains among dietary trends in the in-store bakery, according to Modern Baking's 2008 Supermarket Bakery Research published in June this year. From 2006 to 2008, the percentage of in-store bakers posting sales gains in organic products doubled. The market for organic foods overall should reach $7.2 billion this year, an increase of 140 percent from the $3 billion recorded during 2003, according to Mintel market data. But year-over-year, Mintel has seen sales growth slowing. With many Americans struggling financially, the company projects sales of organic foods will not rally anytime soon.
"Economic uncertainty has deeply affected people's shopping habits," said Marcia Mogelonsky, senior analyst at Mintel. "Americans are spending less, and 'organic versus traditional' is a decision many people are thinking about carefully."
She sees two major cost-related challenges for organic bakers: rising food prices and private label brands. "To cope, many shoppers are simply opting not to buy pricey organic or premium brands," Mogelonsky says.
People also are saving money by reaching for private label organics, which have exploded in recent years. Mintel's Global New Product Database (GNPD) tracked over 540 new private label organic foods in 2007, a massive increase from the 35 new products seen in 2003. Furthermore, when Mintel asked consumers about the difference between name brand and private label organics, 60 percent said it didn't matter; they reached for "whatever is available" when shopping.
"Economic struggles will undoubtedly change the way organic food and drink is sold. But we don't expect people to completely stop buying organics," Mogelonsky said. "We anticipate more subtle changes, such as the formerly all-organic shopper who returns to traditional cookie brands while sticking with organic produce. These small changes will slow market growth."
Attaching philosophy to diet
A new National Restaurant Association (NRA) survey indicates that nutrition and philosophy-driven food choices will be the hottest trends on restaurant menus in 2009. The survey was taken of more than 1,600 professional chef members of the American Culinary Federation.
The results show that consumers aren't only focusing on the physical characteristics of their food, but also are taking into consideration where it comes from, how it impacts the environment and their health and how well it fits into their personal worldview. For this type of consumer, the quality of the end product is not the only variable in the purchasing equation.
"As the wider trend of 'health' continues to grow, the trend of choosing certain foods to follow one's personal philosophy has also gained momentum in the culinary world," said Dawn Sweeney, president and C.E.O. of the NRA. "As interest in food and the culinary arts grows in the United States, consumers are becoming more knowledgeable about the food they eat."
Bakers can prepare for food-savvy customers by being as transparent as possible with their production and sourcing. Ample signage and a knowledgeable staff will help to communicate the product's story, from wheat field to display case.
Local produce, bite-size desserts, organics, healthful childrens' meals, and new cuts of meat top the third annual "What's Hot" chef survey. Rounding out the top 10 trends are childrens' fruit and vegetable side dishes, superfruits, small plates/tapas/mezze/dim sum, artisan liquor and sustainable seafood.

Victoria Park
Trip Ideas
Explore Further
Anyone interested in Bermuda botany should take a stroll through Victoria Park (open 8 a.m.–sunset daily, admission free), where shaded winding paths move between beds of decorative flora and mature trees and shrubs. Scented gardenia bushes, golden acacia trees, even towering Norfolk pines have found root here in this small but pretty park leading to the "back o' town." On its main lawn there is usually a Victorian bandstand—it was shipped off the island to Britain in 2008 for restoration.
Victoria Park is bordered by Victoria Street, Dundonald Street, Cedar Avenue, and Washington Street. There are public washrooms located here, but be aware that they tend to be used mostly by Hamilton's homeless population.

Pilatus Centre Canada has delivered Canada's newest Pilatus PC-12 NG to a western Canada oil and gas services company, which Stan Kuliavas, Director of Sales at Pilatus Centre Canada says "will allow them to grow their efficiency-based competitive advantage in the marketplace."
The client's Operations Director comments on growth with their Pilatus: "The PC-12 will allow us to better-serve our existing customers as well as facilitate our growth into previously unreachable markets." He adds that their purchase research was exhaustive, "we evaluated many different aircraft types but we kept coming back to the Pilatus PC-12. There was nothing that could haul as much weight, as safely and as cost-effectively as a PC-12. This aircraft is like every other piece of machinery that we operate - it helps us conduct our business more efficiently than we could without it, and it enables us to provide our customers with an unparalleled level of service. "
"The Pilatus PC-12 combines the best of both worlds. Its refined luxury and capability, combined with rugged durability and industry-leading reliability make the Pilatus PC-12 a natural choice for companies concerned with the bottom line," noted Kuliavas. "For many companies, business aircraft are a necessity. The Pilatus PC-12 provides flexible, comfortable capability without being overtly opulent or plush."
"The PC-12 continues to prove itself as a key business tool helping companies drive revenue," says Kuliavas; "those who aren't embracing the benefits of business aviation may find themselves being left behind." (File image provided by Pilatus)

Listened to this album for the first time about a week ago, and it has quickly become one of my favourites. Accessible, unique and shamelessly nostalgic.
A tiny bit overproduced, but an amazing album!
This album has some really gorgeous melodies and some genuine moments of sheer genius. That being said, it gets tiresome fairly quickly and doesn't have much replay value. Still a fun listen, though.
Better than sigh no more
Tiger Mountain Peasant Song, great chill. I didn't choose my nickname because of it(it was derived from After the gold rush by neil young). But yeah, it's my favourite song of this album. and your protector is nice too.
For a long time I was waiting for a rock band that wasn't trying to be like anyone else. When Fleet Foxes found their sound, they knew exactly what they wanted out of their album. And from me exactly what I would've wanted out of mine.
Probably the best blend of Indie-folk I have ever seen from a band. Brilliant.
So very pretty.
I love the images that this album puts into my head when I listen to it. White winter hymnal especially, it is just so innocent and airy. It makes me feel like I can float through life with the carelessness of a child.
I'm in love with this album. If I had just one word to describe it, it would be 'beautiful'.
This album is beautiful, but for me it doesn't have anything that really speaks to my soul.

Transient Workers Unlikely to Sway Votes On Local Measures | Video
Evan Kruegel | 11/6/2012"I'm just voting for big picture stuff, haven`t really paid attention to the local stuff going on", Said Stautner. Desjardins agreed.
"Big picture only."
Their opinions were shared by many of the transient workers I spoke to, many of whom plan on only being in North Dakota for a limited amount of time.
"I`m more of a big picture guy, local...eh, not so much. especially since I`m not planning on being here a long time", Said Dalton Leilun.
While some of these workers declined to research the local ballot measures, they still felt it was in their best interest to establish residency in a new place, and cast a vote. One of those was Mike Doheny, a new arrival to Williston.
"I`m from New Hampshire, been here about a month and a half now. I just think it`s important for everyone to get out and vote, it`s a right that we as Americans have, and it`s just something that everyone should do"
Many of the men I spoke to said they planned on leaving the local measures on the ballot blank, so although they weren`t fully aware of the local issues, their presence is unlikely to sway the results.

Article Archive – My struggle with Crohn's Disease
This was written July 24, 2013 the day after I got out of the hospital. This was one of the hardest times in my life that I had to struggle through fighting a good fight just to make it to where I am today. I have been humbled and graced with many blessings and therefore very thankful.
RE: My Struggle with Crohn's/Colitis Disease & C.Difficile
Well I must say it's been a quite an experience the last 3 months or so. Around April 2009 is about the last time I've been in the gym and that was probably only 2 times that month. It seems that after applying for health insurance in April and it went into effect on May 1st is when I got hit with a ton of bricks. I started having major abdominal pain, constant diarrhea where I pretty much just could not leave the house, blood in my stool, mouth full of ulcers that prevented me from eating because it hurt so bad to put anything in my mouth, then a staph infection, and a cyst in a not so nice spot. Constant trips to the doctor. I then had a Colonoscopy and an upper Endoscopy done on June 12, 2009 that diagnosed me with Crohn's Disease an (IBD) Inflammatory Bowel Disease that is not curable. My GI Specialist immediately started me on meds one of which is EXPENSIVE called Pentasa $400 for a month supply and could not afford it so I had to switch to a cheaper medication called Balsalazide (Colazal) which still cost me $121 for a month supply. The other prescribed medication is Prednisone.
Starting my med treatment of course takes time to kick in and I did have some days where I felt they were starting to kick in finally and not feeling the abdominal so much. I still battled with the diarrhea. I got lucky most days that I was able to at least train my clients in the morning….I always prayed for just those few hours that I would make it through and be ok till I got back home. Somewhere along the way I started feeling worse. Then on July 6, 2009 the excruciating pain I had was unbearable and decided it was time to go to ER.
Going to the ER…..well while in the bathroom literally crying from the pain I felt I then thought it's possible that I may have appendicitis since everything else hit me. I got a hold of my Mom & Sister to let them know I need to go to the ER so they came right away to get me and take me in. Luckily there was not a lot of people in the ER but it still took a while to admit me. Finally I get in ER, get a bed, they take blood, then schedule me right away for a CT Scan so I had to drink about 2 10oz cup fulls of Contrast 1 at that moment they brought it to me and the other an hour later which is not the best tasting drinking but it was cold so it made it a little more tolerable. The lab test showed my White Blood cell count very high which means major infection and my CT Scan showed that my colon perforated and waste leaked into my abdomen causing the major infection. The Doctors don't know how I even made it that far….they said "any normal person would not have made it and should've been in the hospital a couple of days ago"If I would've have waited one more day it would've killed me. After that they admitted me into a room, of course hooked up to the IV and stuff…..I needed after being so malnutritioned from really not being able to eat. I also had my moriphine where I pushed that little button every 1o minutes to help with the pain. I mostly had to mentally get my mind into another zone till the pain would kind of go away except for any time I had to move the pain kicked in like a mother. It felt like someone stabbing me with a knife.
The next morning July 7, 2009 is when I went into surgery. When they moved my bed down to the surgery room the pain kicked in sooooo bad once that bed stopped. So my surgery….well they cut down the middle of my stomach, remove 1/3rd of my colon on the right side (ascending & part of the transverse colon) that had all the ulcers from the Crohn's Disease & in which had perforated causing waste to leak into my abdomin. They removed 600cc's of pus/waste from my abdominal cavity & then irrigated it with saline water. The said cause of the perforation to my colon, by my doctors and pathologist, was that it was a C.difficile antibiotic related infection.
This is me in the hospital after the surgery…finally getting to eat some jello after being allowed only ice chips.
Soooo I stayed 1 week in that hospital & then they moved me to an extended stay rehab hospital where I pretty much was the youngest person there. They had to make sure my white blood cell count went down back to normal and be clear of the infection. It wasn't until yesterday July 23, 2009 that I finally got discharged.
Time for Recovery now….I've lost soooo much weight and muscle it's not even funny. Crohn's disease effects the absorption of nutrients not to mention being laid up in a hospital for 2 1/2 weeks doesn't help. I went from my muscle frame of 150lbs to a super skinny bony 97lbs. Muscles gone just like that after 17yrs of hard work. I can't wait to get back up in weight and strength.
So that's my story which has effected my life seriously in all ways. I just want to give thanks to God, my family, Mom, Sisters, and my friends for all their help and support and for visiting me in the hospital. My Mom & Sister Regina has helped me out MAJORLY!!! I don't know how I would've made it through with out them & everyone else's help
I also want to THANK those who have so far have made donations helping me out financially because now I am pretty much broke and need help with getting back on my feet till I get back to work again. I'm self employed & have no one to support me so now that is my big stress. So if you're reading this and can help me out with any little bit I would be very GRATEFUL!! I know times are hard right now & I'm not the only one but I really do need whatever help I can get. I wouldn't ask if it wasn't so.
Thank you everyone for all your love & support
