Latin Lesson Reviews from Students
Students are raving about their Latin instructors on TakeLessons. Check out some of these recent reviews.
Review by Khatina
"When my children switched schools, I wanted them to continue with Latin so we started with Kurt and he has been amazing! He is extremely professional and
reliable, and he is very good with young children (patient and encouraging). He has an effective method for ramping them up and getting them comfortable with the language. My kids are at the point now where the entire session with Kurt is being conducted in Latin, and they look forward to their lessons each week."
Baltimore, MD teacher: Kurt S.
Review by Angelo
"In the one year that I had Mr. Scharping, it was easy to see how much he really loved the language. Personally, I loved his style of continuous repetition
in order to learn things. In class he would speak to us in Latin and we would respond in Latin, which really helped me master the language. If you ever needed help he was also very open to help you out. I would gladly recommend Mr. Scharping to any of my friends, if they wanted to learn Latin, because of his diligence and extensive knowledge of the language."
Baltimore, MD teacher: Kurt S.
Review by Kairo & Keliah
"Amazing teacher and great instructor. He always makes sure you are on the right track and lets you know when you are doing better. He tries hard to make s
ure you understand and he corrects you when mistaken. I highly suggest Mr. Kurt and he seems and acts very experienced. Take a lesson and you soon will be too!"
Baltimore, MD teacher: Kurt S.
Review by Philip
"I really enjoyed how the lessons were styled. His method makes pronunciation and memorization come to you easily."
Baltimore, MD teacher: Kurt S.
Review by George
"Kurt is a professional through and through. He has an extremely thorough knowledge of language and antiquity- students will be blessed by his expertise."
Baltimore, MD teacher: Kurt S.
Review by Pamela
"As a parent, I was so pleased with Mr. Scharping's knowledge and enthusiasm for Latin."

Ruger 220 Swift Custom Barrel
I own a Ruger M77 220 Swift that I have had a couple of years and found to be a very good shooting rifle. Recently, I am becoming more interested in shooting beyond 300 and even 500 yards, all the way out to 1,000 and have been looking in to ways to do this with the Swift. I have found some info on the 90 grain bench rest bullets made by Berger, but have been informed that the stock barrel which I think is a 24" with a 1:14 twist will not be suitable for stabilizing this size of bullet. Therefore, I am looking into purchasing a custom made barrel specifically for this purpose.
After looking around on several custom barrel websites I have found that selecting a "contour" is part of choosing my barrel. I know nothing about contours, how they work, what they mean, and definitely do not know what I need for this particular purpose.
Can anyone give me some good advice on what length, twist and contour would be optimal for the purpose of shooting the 90 grain Berger bullets up to 1,000 yard distances? I have had some recommendations on another thread I posted of a 26" barrel with a 1:8 twist, can anyone confirm this? Also, if the bullet will stabilize with the 1:8 twist in a 26" barrel, will a 30" at the same twist shoot even better?
Any advice and info will be greatly appreciated!

I have rebarrels three 22-250s with 1-8 twist barrels to shoot 75-80 grain bullets, and they were wonderful. However I have never done it with a Swift. I would assume it would be a good way to go, but you'll have to try it and see.

I have a Cooper in .220 Swift with a heavy barrel with a 1:10 twist. I shot an F Class (kind of) match with it using 52 gr. hollowpoints (300 meters or 328 yds). It did fine. I was lucky there was not a lot of wind. That rifle shoots 60 grainers well also but I have not shot them at 300 meters yet. The electronic targets require specific bullets (non expanding) and my 60 grain loads were for amax. 50 grain blitzkings also work well. They say a 1:8 for the 70 gr but I wonder at the faster velocities of the 220 or 22-250 if a 1:10 would be adequate? Contour refers to the outside diameter of the barrel. Varmint barrel or sporter barrel. Also how it tapers.

Which Ruger M77 do you own?
The older tang safety version?
The M77 Mk II?
M77 Hawkeye?
Does the rifle have a standard barrel, or the heavy barrel?
Knowing what action and barrel you have helps determine which barrel contours will fit in your existing stock.
But, before you dump a bunch of money into the rifle; give it a try as it currently sits. Load up some 55-62 gr bullets, and see what you can do at 500+ yards. The information you learn from those exercises will help guide you through any modifications you choose to make.
Don't even try it. It's even worse than the internet would lead you to believe.

* How well versed are you shooting long distance (in excess of 600 yds)? Everyone wants to run with the big dogs, but many do not want to do the work required to be there. Building the rifle is just the beginning, you cannot buy your way to technical expertise. You will have to spend hours and hours loading, actually firing at range, learning about atmospheric conditions, ballistics, optics, and some fairly basic math. Out to 600 yds is no big deal, the next step brings on more challenges. I am by no means an excellent shot, although many of my friends and acquaintances who don't shoot very often think I am, but I only got as good as I am by practicing.
* How well versed are you doing load development? In addition to rebarreling with a 1:6" or 1:7" twist barrel, you will also need to develop loads from scratch, there is very little small caliber/heavy bullet load information available, so you will have to start from scratch. It is very doable, but you will have to do the testing and load development yourself (a ballistics program like QuickLoad will definitely help, as will a chronograph that can be equipped with a strain gauge).
* Do you have the time and money required to be competitive, or is this just for a hobby/just to say you have done it? Driving to match locations can take a significant amount of both time and money, so serious competitors spend a lot of the time between matches getting ready for the next match. Maybe you could get in touch with Zak Smith on this forum or someone at one of the gun clubs that host F-Class matches and get more input from someone who actually participates in these kinds of events.
Never try to educate someone who resists knowledge at all costs.
But what do I know?

That's why I added the "kind of". My range only goes to 300 meters so we used reduced targets and shot 3 20 shot strings. And yes it was fun, even if I was in an economy car. I bow to your all around superiority.... not!

To the campers, the campfire is an indispensable and beloved outdoor tradition—a luminous, kinetic, dreamlike force of nature that has for generations served as the centrepiece of backwoods gatherings.
Campfires are regarded as a cherished institution among campers to drive-in campgrounds. Campfires are fun at camp grounds as well they emerge out to be a life saviour in cases of criticality. However, there are restrictions on putting up Campfires depending upon the localities. So let us see in the following paragraphs some tips for putting up campfires.
We should be careful enough to check with Camp operators for putting up fires at developed sites because during seasons of severe dry periods, camp fires in such areas are not allowed.
We should not be carrying firewood with us even if we are travelling up to 100 kilometres for the purpose of camping. The reason for this being the firewood carried by us might introduce some insects in the new environment which can become invasive pests. Use local firewood as these are readily available around camping areas and there is no harm in using such.
If you have run short of woods, collect only downed wood, take care not to break off branches from a standing tree be it even dead trees because wildlife and birds make use of dead branches and you would certainly not like to interfere into lifestyle.
It is your responsibility to maintain the fire and properly extinguish it, don't be careless in this extinguishing and maintaining fire properly as it can turn out to be a blunder and may cause forest fire. Expert advice is to create fires in prospective grills, rings, or fireplaces as these are designated places for camp fires by the authorities.
Remember, Campfires are fun and thrilling but safety should be your foremost concern; be safe and protect wildlife.
If you're looking to spend some time camping next holiday season, you should give some thought to possible camping accommodation; will you want to stay in chalet or bungalow, or keep it simpler and book a caravan instead? We've compiled a brief list of the selling points of both types of camping accommodation to help you make your choice easier:
So the next time you are researching possible holiday destinations, keep these tips in mind. Hopefully they will help you to book the correct camping accommodation for your circumstance, and ensure that you have a wonderful time on your holiday.
Let's think that you have got some days off and you want to go away to some far place and want to do something adventurous and get rid of your daily routine. So mate, it's time to take matters in your own hands and yes you are right, pack up and set off for Camping and let the adrenaline rush to flow out. Check your local listings and choose a suitable location for Camping. However, the point is you have decided the place where you would go for camping and got stuffs that you would take along yourself for camping without taking into consideration the unpredictable situations that might appear before you. There seems to be something missing from your end; camping for sure is thrilling and spellbinding experience but it is better to be safe rather than being sorry. Let us watch for the checklist that you should consider before setting off for camping.
You got to take up a tent along with you, check out for tent's size keeping in mind the number of persons coming along with you for camping. Sleeping bags are not a viable option because they have proven to be uncomfortable.
A big backpack is always important during camping and ensures that it is spacious enough to accommodate all your required belongings. Try to stuff required things into the backpack as your trendy locket would not be helpful for lightning fire.
Carry a waterproof jacket alongside as you cannot predict the mood of the nature. Jackets of this sort are light to carry and do not consume much space in your backpack.
Resistant boots are a must if you have picked mountainous area as your camping site. It helps you to climb the mountains without spraying your ankle or slipping in mud.
A GPS system is recommended gadget for camping as it make sure that you do not get swayed from your chosen path and does not get lost. A pocket knife and box of matches have been recommended by expert campers so make sure to carry the same (Source: http://bestcamp.nl).
Try not to explore areas that are too far away from civilization as you might land yourself into trouble by doing so.
Have a safe camping, Cheers!

Reviewer: Sethembele lQvls1DB jQ3poH6kxP DIgCpUM2FQ
Thanks, that's probably the clraeest expression of the problem. To be honest though, the atheist misuse of the word faith was probably promulgated originally by Christians who, when faced with difficult questions, simply started to appeal to faith (with no object). A slight question though; do you see the trust you have in your friends, say, as faith in them, because they have to this point been faithful ? Much as we negotiate in good faith when it is okay to trust our motives and bad faith when it is not?
Oh My Soul
Sung by an angelic choir, this song of the soul's power to transcend life and death is by the Indian mystic poet and weaver Kabir. "Sing such a song with all your heart, you will never have to sing again."
Aap Sahaaee Hoaa - Used for White Tantric Yoga Worldwid
This prayer is designed to give protection and strength. Translated into English the chant means, The One Self has become my refuge, the True One gives true support. This mantra meditation is a gift to you that will let you penetrate the unknown without fear. It will give you protection and mental balance. Yogi Bhajan also said that if chanted for 62 minutes, the best time being between three and four AM, it can releive unbearable financial pressure.

Peace Studies Lecture: David Grant
Here is a copy of this year's Peace Studies Lecture, offered by David Grant, President of Common Lot Productions, and Senior Advisor for Nonviolent Peaceforce. The lecture was given on Monday, November 4, 2013 at St. Lawrence University.
The lecture was entitled: "Unarmed Civilian Peacekeeping: A Step Towards Abolishing War"
The formal abolition of slavery has taken about four hundred years. War has been with us as long but its abolition is no longer unthinkable. During the last century, nonviolent movements have overthrown dictators, secured national independence and acquired civil rights. During the last several decades non-partisan organizations have developed unarmed means of protecting civilians in war zones. As armaments become more destructive and more widespread, the need to establish effective nonviolent means of defense becomes imperative. Coupled with advances and experiments with democratic structures more advanced than those now used in the United States, the drive to abolish war challenges those who might, not long ago, have said 'impossible.'
David Grant has dedicated more than four decades to political, cultural and community affairs. After obtaining an MFA at the Iowa Writer's Workshop he produced and directed programs for public television. Thereafter he developed a self-sufficient homestead and then joined Peace Corps as an agro-forester among aboriginal hunter-gatherers in the Philippines. Returning to the U.S., he led Rural Southern Voice for Peace, using the community organizing tool "The Listening Project." He also founded "Peace Troupe," teaching nonviolent action through the cultural arts. He then accepted the invitation to move to the Netherlands to join the International Fellowship of Reconciliation as its coordinator of nonviolence education and training, requiring wide travel in Africa, Asia and Europe. At the Hague Appeal for Peace in 1999 he became a charter member and director of Nonviolent Peaceforce which provides unarmed protection of civilians in conflict zones around the world. He is currently serving as senior advisor to Nonviolent Peaceforce and has also established Common Lot Productions, advocating for improved forms of democracy.
This event was offered by the Peace Studies Program, supported by funding from the Rainer Oppenheim Fund for International Understanding, and the Department of History.
Here is a video of the lecture.

Celebrating 19+ Years of Extraordinary Handmade Chocolate Truffles!
"Your truffles are outstanding. During a roadtrip across MI, my friends and I saw your billboard and ventured off I-94 for a stop. Like an oasis in the middle of the desert, we were thrilled to discover what we thought was just "our little find"! Your chocolates are the best any of us have ever had, and the fact that you have received all of these awards, and yet you still take your time and hand-make everything. . .that's just outstanding. I recommend you to everyone and like to give your chocolates to my family. Keep it up, and thanks for representing Michigan in such a great way!"
"I am from Peoria, Illinois and I was driving up to Michigan to see a friend of mine. I saw the billboards for The Chocolate Garden and when I finally got to the exit, I HAD to stop. I bought 8 pieces of chocolate and shared them with my friend. They are BY FAR the BEST, most WONDERFUL pieces of chocolate goodness I have ever put in my mouth!!! I am in love with truffles and I am now in love with The Chocolate Garden. Absolutely delicious!!! I will definitely be getting some more on my way home to Illinois and will certainly be ordering some as well. THANK YOU!"
We're #1 in Midwest Living's Fantasy Box of Chocolates!
"Indulgence defined" says Midwest Living Magazine of our Milk Chocolate truffle. "A sensuously rich and buttery truffle rolled in soft pebbles of chocolate." Wow, we're blushing. What an honor to be given the top spot in what staffers at Midwest Living hope "would be waiting in a little package with a bow on Valentine's Day morning."
"I would like to say how much, how very, very much, I appreciate and enjoy the quality of your truffles, which are without a doubt the best truffles in the world! The smooth, rich flavors and silky texture make yours that something extra we all deserve! Keep up the great job!"
"This past Valentine's Day, I ordered a 9 oz box of your truffles as a gift for the woman I'm dating. Eleven days later, she became my fiancé. I don't know if it was the truffles that did it, but she LOVES the truffles! It's the best chocolate we've ever tasted!"
Alexandria, Louisiana
To produce only the highest quality chocolate products with a unique and charming personality.
"We stopped at your store after seeing your billboards on the way home from Mackinaw. I never expected to taste the best chocolate of my life! Your truffles are exquisite. We are planning to purchase them as favors for our wedding next year!"
Volo, Illinois
Originally created over 30 years ago, our chocolate truffles were first developed as a holiday gift for clients and colleagues of then Chicago-based advertising executive, Tina Buck. Through experimentation and a bit of naïveté, Tina found a way to make her truffles even more luscious and creamy, having no idea at the time it would become her life's work. Each year, the truffles got even better, and more and more people commented that they were really something special. Too often to count, Tina was told she should consider selling her extraordinary handmade chocolate truffles. These comments were usually prefaced with statements like "I know chocolate and I really think..." or "I'm a real chocolate connoisseur and you should..."
The Chocolate Garden uses the same labor-intensive techniques and high quality ingredients that Tina used when making truffles as gifts. They are still made in small batches by actual human beings and the recipe is virtually unchanged since that time.
Today, these extraordinary handmade chocolate truffles are available only at our retail store and on the internet. And although a few companies are now trying to copy our unique truffles and the techniques created by Tina so many years ago (sadly, it's not just our imagination--they purchased our truffles first then came out with their look-alikes) we are pleased to report that no one has succeeded in copying our taste or texture. Most likely because a product inspired by the desire to copy will never compare to a product inspired by creativity, passion and love!
"I got a call yesterday from my freind, Barb. I said hello, and she just said, 'Oh. . . . my. . . . God!' She had just received her truffles and tasted her first one. She could not believe how incredible it was. I had told her, but she apparently thought I was exaggerating. Now she knows. And she's a huge new fan."
Oxford, Maryland
For quickest response, please call or email. Contacting us through the mail will greatly delay a response. Or visit us at our retail shop!
"Love your truffles! Best in the world. Would you guys ever consider opening retail outlets in other states?
PS-Darkest Dark Truffles are the best. No other truffle beats it."

NEW YORK (AP) — Right now the broadcast networks are feverishly fashioning their fall prime-time schedules. Some 104 pilots are being screened by execs and test audiences, with just one-third expected to pass muster and become series for the 2013-14 season.
Once they premiere, maybe a dozen will actually click with viewers and win a second year.
"Then how many series make it to the magic four-year mark, where they really make money? Maybe half of that," says analyst Brad Adgate of media-buying firm Horizon Media.
Extravagant? Wasteful? Maybe. But the program development process at the broadcast networks is also well-entrenched. And even profitable.
"When you get a show like 'The Big Bang Theory,' it pays for a lot of missteps," notes Adgate with a laugh.
Anticipating the "upfront week" of May 13 (when ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and the CW unveil their lineups for advertisers and the world), industry analysts and media writers have been handicapping each network pilot, described for them but sight unseen, as a familiar springtime guessing game: Which will be among the chosen few? Which are doomed to oblivion?
Adgate likes the sound of "Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D," a comic-book adventure brought to the TV screen by hitmaker and fan-boy fave Joss Whedon for ABC.
He also likes Fox's "Rake," starring Greg Kinnear as a lawyer who is brilliant but flawed (it's one of four pilots with a "House"-esque brilliant-but-flawed hero). And then there's CBS' comedy pilot, "Mom," produced by sitcom legend Chuck Lorre (whose credits include CBS' "Two and a Half Men" and the aforementioned "Big Bang Theory").
Already a lock is Michael J. Fox's sitcom (with a guaranteed NBC order of 22 episodes). Almost as much of a sure thing would seem to be "NCIS: Red," a spinoff of CBS' ratings juggernaut "NCIS: Los Angeles" (itself a spinoff of ratings juggernaut "NCIS").
Needless to say, CBS (with its murderer's row of sitcoms and its finely wrought portfolio of procedurals) is in better shape as next fall looms than other networks you might mention, such as NBC, whose February plunge to an unprecedented sixth place in the ratings (behind Spanish-language Univision) after having been on top last fall has become part of TV lore.
Even so, NBC can claim last fall's closest thing to a hit, "Revolution." This stylish, apocalyptic drama has already won a second-season pickup.
So will a number of other freshman shows, if only by the skin of their teeth. But generally it was a tepid season for new shows, raising the question: Were all of last year's 89 pilots lacking — or did network execs simply choose the wrong ones?
Amazon thinks it knows a better way for separating wheat from the chaff. As it jumps into first-run video, it has placed pilots for eight comedy series and six kids' series on its website, and invited the public to watch and rate them before their fate is decided.
In the age of interactive television, maybe the networks should consider a similar wisdom-of-crowds policy: Air its pilots as special prime-time programming and let viewers log their responses on the second-screen devices they've grown ever so fond of. (After all, would viewers last spring have ordered up NBC's monkey sitcom "Animal Practice" or given a go-ahead to "Made in Jersey," the CBS law drama that went bust in two weeks?)
It's no secret the pressure has never been greater on the broadcast networks to generate robust hits.
After all, this past season broadcast TV was upstaged by nearly every other video provider: Netflix with its all-at-once release of 13 episodes of "House of Cards" (and the imminent revival of "Arrested Development"); public television's "Downton Abbey," boasting a 12-million-viewer finale and thunderous buzz; History's "The Bible" and AMC's "The Walking Dead," two cable series that dwarfed their broadcast rivals.
Has broadcast television lost the ability to rise above the pack it once encompassed almost solely by itself? Has it forever relinquished its role as trendsetter to cable and online?
Ask David S. Goyer, creator of the historical thriller "Da Vinci's Demons" currently airing on the Starz premium network.
Four years ago, ABC picked up the pilot he had written for his sci-fi drama "FlashForward" and began heavy promotion for its fall 2009 launch.
"But as soon as the pilot was finished," recalls Goyer, "we were hit by the network with this massive wave of market research of what the show 'should' be. It was completely at odds with what I and the other writers had set out to do."
Goyer left after 10 episodes were shot. The series was canceled after one season.
"I was so disheartened by that experience that I decided I wanted to try my hand at cable, because I'd heard that in cable they respect the creator more."
That's what he says he found at Starz: "The eight episodes of 'Da Vinci's Demons' represents, by and large, the show that I want to make."
From Marjorie Kaplan's perspective as president of Animal Planet, cable has become the go-to place for TV's most creative producers.
"They see you can do 'The Shield,' 'The Walking Dead,' 'Game of Thrones,' and the network won't stop you," she says. "Cable has been great at creating an incubator environment for unbelievably talented, idiosyncratic creators who can't get their work done other places, or who don't want their work molested other places."
Granted, the talented and prolific J.J. Abrams is a creator of NBC's "Revolution," and for next season he has not one but two pilots in the running: "Human" on Fox and "Believe" on NBC.
But will either erupt with the power to shock or rock audiences the way his groundbreaking "Lost" did when it burst on ABC a dozen years ago?
"Lost" was a glorious game-changer, a rare shock wave on broadcast TV. Now can broadcast, so practiced at serving up new rounds of the familiar, deliver the level of surprise viewers are coming to expect from cable?
Broadcast's 104 pilots hold an answer to that question. But it may not be much of a surprise.

Jaguar Land Rover workers get 10 per cent pay rise
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) workers could be getting a healthy rise in their pay packets, just in time for Christmas.
More than 21,000 workers at JLR's Castle Bromwich, Whitley and Solihull factories are set to agree to the new package – a pay rise worth nearly 10 per cent.
Strong global demand for Jaguar Land Rover products are thought to have fuelled the negotiations between Unite union officials and company bosses.
Roger Maddison, Unite national officer, said: "The Unite shop stewards voted overwhelmingly in favour of the package which had been hammered out during tough negotiations with JLR's management.
"This will now go to a vote of the workforce and, if they are in favour, the two-year deal will start on November 1.
"We have a great workforce at JLR producing a very successful range of excellent vehicles and it is only right that our members share in the nearly £3billion profit made by JLR over the last two years.
"The British car industry is undergoing a renaissance at present. The constructive working together by employers and the trade unions has been a major factor in this revitalisation of the automotive sector."
The car giant has sold nearly 50,000 cars in the UK alone so far this year.

Where to get support if a child has lost a loved one or has a loved one who is dying.
If a child has a loved one who is going to die, they can benefit from special support.
Sarah Smith, bereavement counsellor at London's Trinity Hospice, says: "Hospices offer pre-bereavement care to help patients and their family in the run-up to the end of life.
"We especially encourage this for children because children's stress levels are at their highest before bereavement because of fear and the unknown."
Pre-bereavement counselling gives the child a chance to think and talk about their feelings and share their worries.
If you're a parent and you know you're going to die, Sarah suggests thinking about making a memory box to give to your child, or making one together.
This is a box containing things that remind you both of your time together. It can provide an important link between you and your child once you've gone.
Macmillan Cancer Support has information about making a memory box.
During bereavement, it can help a child to talk about the person who has died, whether it was a grandparent, parent, brother, sister or friend.
"Sharing and talking about emotions and about the person is important, especially for children," says Sarah.
"If they have lost a loved one, it's important to have someone with whom they can talk about that person. It could be through photos, games, memory boxes or stories."
There are also bereavement charities that offer helplines, email support, and online communities and message boards for children.
These include:
If the person who has died didn't leave a memory box, Sarah suggests making one with your child.
It can include:

Child Bereavement UK has useful information sheets about children and bereavement, including how children grieve and children's understanding of death at different ages.

Headliner: A type 1 blogger creates community
Kerri Sparling
Writer/editor, Six Until Me
2006-2009 Editor, dLife
2004-2006 Insurance analyst, Textron Financial
"We all shot up together in the morning before breakfast," says Sparling, who is 33, "and it was cool. I felt like I had a community, that I wasn't alone in this."
But after Sparling aged out of the camp, at around age 15, she felt alone again.
"There was this huge gap of time where I didn't know anyone else who had diabetes, and it was really isolating and lonely."
Then came blogs, and Sparling's then-boyfriend, now-husband suggested she should start someone. It was the early days of the medium, when "people would look at you like you had a terrible disease" if you said the word "blog," quips Sparling.
"It was just to find other people who were dealing with the emotional ups and downs and get the anecdotal stuff. Your doctor says go ahead and take this insulin, but you want to know how do I travel with it? What happens if I take it before working out or having sex? Those things that doctors don't really discuss."
The blog, SixUntilMe.com (Subtitle: "Diabetes doesn't define me. But it helps explain me"), launched in May of 2005.
"At first it was my mom and my boyfriend reading," says Sparling. "Then, after a couple weeks, there were these other people reading, two or three a day, and then a dozen a day, and the numbers kept growing and growing. But it made sense to me, because people were looking for what I was looking for. So this community of people was raising their hands and saying 'Yeah, me too.'"
Today, that audience numbers 85,000 to 90,000 viewers a month, and constitutes a thriving community in comments. Many find her through search—she gets a lot of hits through searches on "Hiding insulin pump in wedding dress" and "Can I have a baby if I have type 1?" (Sparling's daughter is two-and-a-half)—others through word-of-mouth. While type 2 diabetes may have a higher public profile these days, there's a thriving blogosphere centered around the type 1 community.
"We're less stigmatized than people with type 2, and so I think it's a bit easier for us to share your stories honestly," says Sparling. "With type 2, there's this inaccurate perception that they're personally responsible and steal into other people's homes at night and eat their donuts. With type 1, you say 'autoimmune' and people back off and go 'Whoa, I'm sorry.'"
Sparling is very funny, down to earth and speaks in writerly paragraphs studded with moving anecdotes and insights about the disease and her experiences living with it. It's no wonder she has an audience, or that she's a favorite on the healthcare social media conference circuit. Having type 1 is a full-time job, she says, though she managed to shoehorn in a colorful work history, including working stints as a banker, a mechanic, an arbitration officer and an aviation insurance specialist before she could make ends meet through her writing and speaking.
"Professionally, I was always seeking medical insurance, so I had to take the first job that provided adequate pay and full coverage for type 1 diabetes." That's made her all the more grateful for being able to write for a living. "When I was diagnosed, they tell you how compromised your life is going to be. They hand you your mortality when you're like in second grade. It's kind of a heavy thing to wrap your head around. But it makes you not want to spend your day in a windowless room talking to the guy who's just crashed his Cessna into the barn again. There's an appreciation for being able to do what you love."
SixUntilMe caught the attention of diabetes media platform DLife, which hired Sparling as an editor. These days, in addition to SixUntilMe, Sparling does some blogging for Animas, which makes the insulin pump she uses, as part of a sponsorship deal (they don't edit her). Then there's the conferences, where, she jokes, pharma social media types "look at me as if I was being brought in from the zoo. They can't believe they're seeing an actual patient in the wild."
Pharmas, she says, need to look at marketing to patients more as relationship-building and learn to be less scared about patient engagement.
"If they're trying to sell something to the diabetes community, they should actually understand that community," says Sparling, "and know that it's sometimes hard to motivate yourself to test your blood sugar every day, so when you're talking about a lancing device that's 'no pain testing,' well, tell me if it's 'no pain' after nine or ten times a day. Be careful with the words you choose and making it seem like this is a great new thing. Know what would be new and great? A cure. Let's all understand that what we have here is just another tool."

Bayne, Wood Brothers prepared for season finale at HMS
Bayne, Wood Brothers Prepare For One Final Run in the 2012 Ford Fusion
Even though the Wood Brothers race team runs a partial Sprint Cup schedule, the Ford Championship Weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway is a race the team eagerly anticipates.
Assuming Trevor Bayne qualifies for Sunday's Ford EcoBoost 400, it'll mark 16 points-paying race appearances this season for Bayne and the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane crew, a stretch that has seen them post four top-10 qualifying efforts and two top-10 race finishes. Sunday's race also will be the last time Bayne and the Wood Brothers will compete using the current NASCAR version of the Ford Fusion.
Beginning next season, NASCAR's Ford teams will begin racing a redesigned 2013 Ford Fusion. Fans and drivers can get a sneak peek at how that car will look this weekend as the 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium will serve as the official pace car.
Eddie Wood, co-owner of the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion, said he's looking for one more good run from his team's 2012 Ford Fusion then the focus will shift to the 2013 model.
"It's going to look like the Fusions in the dealers' showrooms and on the street, and that's something NASCAR hasn't had in a while," Wood said. "There's going to be lots of identity for Ford Motor Company and for all the other manufacturers."
Wood said the new cars take NASCAR racing back to a time when fans and competitors paid close attention to every detail of the race cars, such as the shapes of the bodies and the designs created by the manufacturers.
Bayne and the Wood Brothers already have participated in two on-track tests with the 2013 Fusion, at Martinsville Speedway and Kansas Speedway, and Wood said those tests indicate that the new models also have the potential to make NASCAR's on-track product even more exciting.
"The new car has a lot of adjustability in it, which NASCAR can use to help make the racing better," he said. "I'm really impressed with its capabilities."
The downside of bringing out a new car for the Wood Brothers and other race teams is that it'll mean some long hours at the shop preparing new cars, but Wood said that's really nothing new.
"It's normal for race teams to work long hours getting ready for Daytona and the upcoming season," he said.

Packers may be without injured S Burnett vs Wash.
TODD McMAHON
Sep. 14, 2013
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers' secondary didn't play well without Morgan Burnett in their season-opening loss to San Francisco.
Knowing they must improve, the back end of the Packers' defense may have to play another game with their top safety sidelined. Burnett is questionable for Green Bay's home opener against the Washington Redskins on Sunday.
He practiced Friday on a limited basis for the third straight day, but the coaches aren't sure if Burnett will be cleared to play after having a setback with a hamstring injury last week.
"Morgan is further ahead than he was last week," coach Mike McCarthy said Friday. "He has practiced more than the medical report (indicates) in the morning. So you feel good about that. But how he comes in here tomorrow and what goes on the next 48 hours will be the key if he plays."
Defensive coordinator Dom Capers said the team spent this week getting the young trio of M.D. Jennings, Jerron McMillian and Chris Banjo prepared to play Sunday in case Burnett isn't available again.
"Those guys have practiced an awful lot this week and prepared," Capers said. "So I feel like they'll be better prepared this week than they were a week ago."
The Packers were set to have Burnett return to game action last weekend after he missed the final week of the preseason. But he had a setback with the injury toward the end of last week and subsequently was held out of the game at San Francisco.
With Jennings and McMillian as the starters at safety against the 49ers, Green Bay allowed several big pass plays.
San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick threw for a career-high 412 yards and three touchdowns, and 49ers receiver Anquan Boldin dominated on the receiving end with 13 catches for 208 yards and a touchdown in a 34-28 win over the Packers.
"Obviously, you want your best players out there, but we don't make excuses," safeties coach Darren Perry said. "We were in position, we just didn't make the plays. That was the bottom line. It wasn't anything special (the 49ers) did. We didn't make any plays, and we certainly allowed for some big-play opportunities through some missed tackles that we can easily correct. From that standpoint, there's really no need to hit the panic button."
Yet with another young and talented quarterback set to throw at them with the Redskins' Robert Griffin III, there's some cause for concern about the state of the safety position as the Packers try to avoid their first 0-2 start since 2006, McCarthy's first year as coach.
Green Bay released veteran standout Charles Woodson after last season, giving Burnett greater responsibility going into his fourth pro season.
"Obviously, Morgan's one of our better players," Capers said. "He's been a guy that's been the quarterback of our defense back there for the last couple years. He's very decisive and assertive in making his calls and all those kinds of things. So that would be a real bonus for us" if Burnett can play Sunday.
NOTES: Packers TE Jermichael Finley (toe) is probable for Sunday's game and has no doubt he will play. Finley practiced Thursday and Friday in a limited role after being out Wednesday with an injury to the big toe on his right foot, which he played through for most of the game against the 49ers. "It's a tad bit painful," Finley said Friday. "(But) I feel great. I've got a big pain tolerance. So I'll be out there, I'll be fine." ... LG Josh Sitton (back) is questionable, but he is hopeful of playing after practicing on a limited basis the last two days. "If I feel like I can play, I'll play," said Sitton, adding the tightness he experienced in his lower back after Sunday's game wasn't as painful as it had been earlier this week. ... Also on the Packers' injury report, LB Nick Perry (neck) is probable, and CB Jarrett Bush (hamstring) is questionable after he didn't practice Friday.

You really need to alter the behavior of trucks.
They are madding compulsive, and suicidal.
For example, if a enemy tank pounds away at wall, the truck will rush to that side of the wall to be killed by the enemy tank.
Suicidal indeed.
Truck Engineers can't sit still. All the time moving. They move faster then you can right click, and say hold position.
At times, it seems hold position does not even work.
They commit treason too.
As a enemy tank, pounds away at the wall near a gate, the truck will come out , and let that tank in.
Send that truck to prison for a hundred years!
Is there any fast fix to this?
Like a mod, or modify the AI script, or something that can be done?

I sat down to write about using ghost stories in your Irish research, but I decided to leave that topic for another day (don't forget to check back in a few weeks--preferable at night with a campfire and some marshmallows--I hope to have some spine-tingling tales for those of you with banshees and changelings in your tree!). What changed my topic was an email I received from a reader this morning, while I was packing for my trip to Salt Lake City for the National Genealogy Society conference. The email began like so many others I receive,
"My dream is to go to Ireland, but first, I need to find..."
So many of us postpone taking that trip, thinking we need to find that one elusive ancestor or townland before we go. Each expert we consult imparts the same advice: "Uncover every piece of information about your ancestors in your home country before you go to Ireland to research." Yes, that is sound advice, and I give it myself at every presentation. But, my next sentence is
"Ignore what I just said and GO anyway!"
At the very least, you will have visited the land of your ancestors. You will gain an appreciation of their lives and your own cultural roots. Isn't that just as thrilling as filling one more box on your chart? And, you just might have a little bit of that Irish luck and discover ancestors--or even living relatives--while you are there.
Part of the secret of discovering information while in Ireland is to take the time to PLAN AHEAD. With careful planning--which means leaving ample free time for SERENDIPITY and fun--you can maximize your genealogy research during your trip.Take these steps:
1. Determine your research goals (list which family lines, places, and time periods are relevant to your research).
2. Weigh the possibilities and adjust your goals (determine which locales or repositories fit within your budget and time frame).
3. Structure your trip, but loosely. Plan your routes and learn what is at each destination. Don't pack your schedule too tightly--you will want to allow yourself time to follow up on any discoveries you might make. On the other hand, be aware of cultural and fun activities at each destination point in case your research opportunities fall short.
4. Research the locales you will visit. Is there a library? Cemetery? Genealogy or history center?
5. Research the repositories or points of interest you plan to visit. What are the hours, fees, identification requirements, reservation or appointment requirements?
During your trip, remember that research is more than looking at films at the National Library. You can make genealogical discoveries in many places in Ireland (I know researchers who found relatives or ancestors in each of these ways!) :
1. Visit local libraries and bookshops.
2. Find the local historian--ask at the library or post office or pub.
3. Attend a local church service--and stay for tea after if invited (you will be).
4. Attend a local sporting event, farmer's market, or fair.
5. Ask questions. Of course, mind manners and be polite. Show an interest in the people and the area you are visiting. Bring some small token gifts from home (candy, small book, souvenir) to present to new friends or helpful librarians. The thought will be appreciated, and you will be remembered.
6. Sign any and all visitor logs. Years after a visit to Co. Tyrone, I was contacted by a distant cousin who visited the same heritage centre.
Most of all, enjoy yourself and leave your expectations at home. Expectations have ruined many a trip! Take success and failure and weather in stride. A "failure" on this trip could lead to success one day. I came home from my first trip to Co.Kilkenny to discover that I had been in the right town, but was researching in the wrong church! But what if I had never gone--I might still be searching the wrong religious records!
Go get those plane tickets! (If the volcanoes in Iceland will only cooperate...) And send me a postcard!


text: Heya everyone! Here are two looks which I have already posted on my lookbook - sorry for not putting them up earlier as I have been so busy with school! On a positive note I have received some lovely parcels from a few sponsors and also went on a few shopping trips myself haha so I have lots of more looks to come. The first is a dress which was send to me by Little Mistress and despite it obviously being unsuitable for daily wear it's pretty perfect for any formal occasion. The second look features my new hat which I am slightly obsessed by, although I do have a reallly bad track record with keeping hats so hopefully I don't lose it :/ I'm also wearing my new shorts from Choies! Hope you like the outfits :* XX

Lesson Plan Review: Messages of Houses and Their Contents, 1780-1820
Personal possessions help us interpret the past, and this lesson from the Memorial Hall Museum in Massachusetts encourages students to think about the "stuff" that people owned in early America. Students examine photographs of reconstructed rooms, inventories of possessions, and house layouts from different time periods and are asked to make inferences about how changes in common household possessions reflect broader changes in society.

GSP Police investigate unattended luggage
GSP Police investigate unattended luggage
Greenville Spartanburg Airport Police spent part of Wednesday evening investigating unattended luggage found on a curb.
Airport spokeswoman Rosylin Weston said the bag was discovered on the front curb near baggage claim and parking garage A.
Weston said a funnel was sticking out of the baggage and as precautionary measure the front curb was cleared. Officers later discover the luggage contained a gas can.
Weston said the bomb-sniffing K-9 from the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office was called to the scene because the airport K-9 is away for training.
A woman came forward and identified the bag and said it belong to her.
She was then questioned by GSP Police.
No flights were affected, Weston said.
