Imagine having a compulsion to go to the gym that was beyond your control, crying in the toilet because you are too weak to actually do any of the classes, passing out when you were in a class because you are so malnourished that you don't have the energy, too scared to look in the mirror but not being able to stop yourself, hating yourself, hating every day, feeling constant pain, hurt, self loathing, day after day!
That is what Anorexia sufferers feel everyday…
On the brink of death 26 year old Janice Elizabeth (Mardesic) booked herself into the New Farm Eating Disorder unit six months ago after passing out again from lack of food. She weighed 42kg with a body Max Index of 15 and thought she was fat! She knew she was sick and didn't want to feel the pain anymore.
So how did it all start?
The young Gold Coaster started dieting at the age of 10 after her brother called her fat and told her no-one would ever like her. Of course he was only teasing the slim young girl, as siblings do, but she took it seriously.
What her brother didn't realise at the time was that Janice had already suffered abuse at an earlier time in her life and that one little comment was just enough to tip her over the edge.
"I had a real fear of not being loved, afraid of growing up, settling down, having a career, responsibility…. it was a debilitating fear, but it wasn't at a conscious level it was in the sub-conscious," she said.
In what seemed to be an out of control life, not eating was the only thing she felt she had control over… "I could reject sitting down with my family for dinner and that become my comfort," she said.
So when Janice was first admitted into hospital at the age of 16 she was suicidal and depressed but what seems really surprising is that her eating disorder was never addressed!
When she finally got out she turned to alcohol and replaced one addiction for another "I started partying and gave it all up, I didn't want to do it anymore," she said.
All she was doing was swapping one addiction for another and soon she was back in hospital, but this time it was long term rehab for a drinking problem.
Eighteen months into the rehab Janice lost her appetite again, one day of not eating turned into three, she was very anxious but the doctors said it was post traumatic stress.
However once it had taken its grip there seemed no way out "I left rehab and tried settling back into life, I didn't have an appetite and I ran, exercised and soon I was obsessed with losing weight, it just snuck up on me," Janice said.
At one stage she said she was standing in front of the mirror screaming at her mother beside her "I'm so fat, I'm so fat…I'm a short fat tree stump, look at me, I'm a short fat tree stump," her mother was trying to tell her it wasn't real, but her body image was completely distorted, "I could see the bones but I even thought they were fat, I just wished I could shrink my bones," she said.
When she checked herself into the eating disorder unit at the beginning of this year she still didn't want to put on weight but knew something had to change.
"I was sick of feeling constant pain, I was sick of going to the gym, but I had to go to the gym it was a compulsion, I was sick of the torment, I was sick of being miserable," Janice said.
At the unit she was fed through a tube and was forced into consuming 3000 calories a day just to keep her alive. Anorexics instinctively know the tricks of the trade so soon it became easy to trick the doctors if she wasn't continually monitored. "When I was no longer being watched every 15 minutes, I used to go out for runs, workout beside the bed, then when the doctor asked I lied and said I hadn't worked out," she said.
So strong is the grip of anorexia that it has even the most honest person being dishonest "I could look the doctor in the face and say I had not exercised," she said. "I learnt to change the bag and mix it with water so I wasn't getting the calories they were trying to put into me".
Finally once she had put on a much needed 15kg, Janice was released for day outings and still she had every intention of losing the weight she had put on.
Janice is one of the lucky ones and it is all attributed to one person who has given her guidance and support. A role model she found on Facebook of all places! Just when she was about to fall into old habits again Janice stumbled upon Sports and Fitness model Justine Switalla while searching Facebook for health and fitness tips. Now she follows Justine's advice and the only reason she counts calories is to make sure she is getting enough to build muscle.
Sitting opposite Janice now I see a bright girl who is determined to beat this crippling disease and live a healthy life, Janice wants to share her experience so that it might benefit other anorexia sufferers and hopefully inspire them take action.
"When Justine stepped in and started to talk to me about food and exercise, she said 'you have to stop being afraid to put weight on', for the first time in my life I felt someone believed in me," she said.
This friendship is helping her to love herself, believe in herself and to see everything in a different light.
"She (Justine) actually really cares, I trust her and I do whatever she says" Janice said.
So when Justine recommended Janice to start taking supplements to help build up her abused body, she did.
Today Janice fills her mind with positive thoughts about food and even though she still has her low days she sticks to her routine of eating six meals a day, exercising but not going overboard and taking supplements.
"I have so much energy and it feels so good not to spin out half way through an exercise class," she said.
Finally after so many years of struggling it feels good to take control "the eating disorder is losing its grip on me," she said.
The prognosis for most sufferers is bleak,
- A study by the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders reported that 5 – 10% of anorexics die within 10 years after contracting the disease.
- 18-20% of anorexics will be dead after 20 years and only 30 – 40% ever fully recover.
- The mortality rate associated with anorexia nervosa is 12 times higher than the death rate of ALL causes of death for females 15 – 24 years old.
- 20% of people suffering from anorexia will prematurely die from complications related to their eating disorder, including suicide and heart problems.

A good group therapy game relating to substance abuse is the Art of Manipulation Game, as stated on eHow.com. This game can be an entertaining way for persons to see themselves as others see them while using drugs.Continue Reading
Substance abusers are usually well practiced in substance abuse to help them continue their drug use. The Art of Manipulation game can help show participants how they have manipulated others in the past, how they appear to others and how to change their behavior for the future, notes eHow. Each participant is given an item, such as a car, house or other expensive item, to give a sales pitch for. The item is broken, but the person must still try to sell the item without lying about the condition of the item. Afterwards, the group should discuss the pitches and how they have used manipulation to continue their drug use.Learn more about Health

In this interview series we will introduce IT Professionals selected for this year's Dell TechCenter (DTC) Rockstar Program. This program recognizes independent experts, Dell customers and employees for their significant positive impact on Dell TechCenter, blogs and social media when discussing Dell. You can find a list of all our Rockstars here. Our eighth interviewee is Joey Ware.
Dell TechCenter: Can you please explain to folks who are not experts in your area: What is your domain of expertise?
Joey Ware: My main focus has been virtualization, mainly with our private cloud which is a stretched cluster between two campuses at the University of Oklahoma in OKC and Norman which is 20+ miles between sites. I am also currently working on getting our VMware Horizon View projects going in our Shared Services data centers.
Q: What are the most exciting trends in your area?
A: Right now what VMware is doing with the Horizon Suite version 6 is really exciting as it's finally going to be the competitor that Citrix needs in the application virtualization market. Also I am excited to see what VMware does with vSAN and how Dell's VMware vSAN Ready Nodes play in the Server SAN market.
Q: Can you point us to resources you find particularly valuable for your work?
A: One of the biggest resources I follow is the #vBrownBag podcast. A lot of the presenters are people in the field like us that are working with customers on projects that they can demo live, even at times they will do a step-by-step install so it's great to go back and watch to see what mistakes you have made. They started doing an OpenStack night as well as the weekly VMware night. But it doesn't just have to be VMware, it could be anything to hardware (like the VRTX) to backup software and how it works in the environments.
Q: How do you engage with the IT community?
A: I presented last year on the #vBrownBag podcast over my presentation for VMworld. I am also the OKC VMUG leader and I try to a meeting every other month because not everyone in Oklahoma can get a VMware resource on-site. I am also on my 2nd year as a vExpert which is based upon things you do in the virtualization community. I highly recommend anyone to apply as it gives you some great rewards to try out in your home lab, or in my case my work lab. I am trying to keep my blog posts going but with 4 kids I have put it on the side burner for when I get a chance to put something up.
Q: What are the most cutting edge Dell products – and why?
A: I am really exciting to play with the Dell VRTX as we were lucky to get one in our lab. We have some projects that include our virtualized camera environment to maybe a VDI pod using vSAN to ease off needing to hammer our Dell/Compellent SAN with the IOPS that VDI needs. But I am really liking Compellent. My first SAN was a CX340 and trying to learn how to create the RAID GROUPS and all that was a headache. Compellent really makes it easy. My next future project is going to be working with the Dell VMware vSAN Ready Nodes, can't wait to see how those play out in the market. The last thing I'd like to see grow is the Project Ophelia/Dell Wyse Cloud Connects. We ordered some test units to play with and maybe find projects for, so we will see how that goes down the road. They make a cheap thin client but I heard the next version won't need the Cloud Client Manager subscription and there's an App that can be used for the keyboard and mouse which would play against using an iPad/iPhone connected to an Apple TV.
Q: Joey, thank you so much!

A divorce is one of those events that is legitimately life-changing. For Independence divorce attorney Denise R. Michalske, that's what makes practicing family law so appealing.
"If I can help make that process easier and smoother for them, the satisfaction that I gain from that is greater than what I could ever get from other areas of the law," Ms. Michalske said.
The divorce process is rarely easy. Ms. Michalske compares the experience to running a marathon and cautions patience when working with her clients. In the end, she says, that will pay off.
"You are going to want to sprint, but you need to pace yourself as the process takes time in order to be sure that your rights are protected and that the best possible outcome can be obtained," she said. "You will start off strong and at times may feel like it will never end, but there is a finish line and I will help get you there."

Ex-ASU football player gets 2 years in prisonPosted: Updated:
PHOENIX (AP) -- A former Arizona State University football player convicted of trying to sexually assault a 21-year-old woman and a related burglary was sentenced Monday to 2 1/2 years in prison.
Andres Rafael Garcia, 23, received the prison sentence for the burglary conviction and was sentenced to lifetime probation for his attempted sexual assault convictions. He was given credit for the nine months he has already spent behind bars.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Teresa Sanders said she couldn't send Garcia to prison on the sex convictions because lawyers on both sides had agreed to probation on those charges as a condition of his plea agreement. Garcia had faced 1 to 3 years in prison for the burglary conviction. His lawyer sought a one-year sentence.
The victim told the judge she suffers physically and emotionally from the attack and has experienced troubling flashbacks.
"There's absolutely no excuse to justify what you have done to me," she said to Garcia before he was sentenced.
The Associated Press generally does not identify alleged victims of sexual assault.
Authorities say Garcia attacked the woman after a night of partying in Tempe on June 6.
They say she lost consciousness after Garcia caused her to fall into a wall but later regained consciousness and was unable to cry or move her body as Garcia attacked her.
Prosecutors said the burglary occurred when Garcia entered a fenced apartment complex and an enclosed yard with the intent of attacking the woman.
Garcia cried as his supporters asked Sanders for leniency.
Garcia later told the judge that he betrayed the victim, who was previously a friend, and deserves to be punished. But he said he isn't a sexual predator.
"I am not a criminal, your honor," Garcia said. "Unfortunately, I made a very bad mistake."
Garcia joined the Sun Devils in the 2012 season as a nonscholarship player but was later dismissed from the team.

What is Israel & Co?
Israel & Co. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to building a greater understanding of and appreciation for Israel among present and future leaders. We empower rising leaders to visit Israel and experience its global contributions, innovative and diverse culture, and complex reality.
Is Israel & Co. a travel agency?
Israel & Co. is not a travel company. We empower iTrek Leaders to do their own travel planning and group recruitment and organizing. iTrek Leaders design their own itineraries (with our support and advice) and make their own travel arrangements. Israel & Co. connects iTrek Leaders with travel agencies that can make the necessary arrangements for their trips.
What exactly does Israel & Co. do?
Here's how Israel & Co. works:
We find influential students and faculty (or they find us) at the top MBA, law and policy schools worldwide who want to lead trips to Israel for their peers, students or colleagues. We then give them the tools, guidance, and support they need to get there, and more.
- We connect these groups to inspiring Israeli thought leaders, innovators and policymakers—helping them customize content to their interests and/or coursework.
- With our support every step of the way, leaders build their own itinerary and give their group an unforgettable experience.
- Participants return to their professional, personal, and civic lives with a wiser understanding and connection to Israel—one that ripples out into their networks, amplifying the impact of their experience.
- We also offer programming and networking opportunities throughout the year for iTrek Leaders, educators and students—all designed to engage present and future leaders with Israel.
For more details, see our list of services here.
What is iTrek?
Our flagship iTrek Program empowers students from participating business, policy and law schools to lead 7-10 day trips to Israel. Student leaders, often Israelis themselves, lead their peers out of a desire to introduce them to Israel's innovation and culture. Faculty-led trips for MBAs provide students with a for-credit trip to Israel and an itinerary customized to the coursework. Our iTrek Program works with 50 top MBA programs worldwide, and we have expanded our reach to law and policy graduate programs.
Why do you work with MBA, law and policy students?
MBA, law, and policy schools that have strong track records for turning out future leaders and change-makers. Graduates will one day hold influential roles in their companies and communities—as senior executives, politicians, writers, diplomats, media personalities and more. These students are hungry to learn about Israel, and will likely carry their impressions forward into their profession and personal lives, sharing their experiences and shaping the opinions of those around them. Many of them already have a current practice of educational travel, and are accustomed to paying their own travel expenses.
How do iTrek Leaders benefit?
Our student leaders learn how to embody active leadership by recruiting and organizing their peers, developing career-changing contacts and lasting relationships, and—in a multiplier effect—educating their networks on their changed insights about Israel.
Are you a campus organization?
No, we are not a campus organization. Israel & Co. is an independent nonprofit organization with global reach. More than simply serving students, we care about creating and influencing future leaders who care about Israel.
Are you affiliated with the Israeli government?
Israel & Co. is a private, U.S.-based, 501(c)(3) organization. We are not affiliated with the Israeli government, although they have provided us some funding in the past. Israel & Co. is a non-political, non-affiliated, non-religious organization.
How are you different from any other organization running trips to Israel?
There are other organizations taking students to Israel, but none with a model like Israel & Co. We give students and educators what they need to lead powerful educational experiences in Israel for their students and peers (mostly non-Jewish). We connect these groups to inspiring Israeli thought leaders and innovators, and offer access to outstanding content. They build their own customized itinerary and have an unforgettable experience.
This is what makes our model different from others offering Israel trip-based education. Students and faculty organize and lead their own trips, and iTrek Leaders then recruit subsequent iTrek Leaders. This creates an on-campus tradition of Israel educational travel that makes this the most scalable and repeatable model on the market.
How can I get involved?
There are plenty of ways to get involved. We want you to join us!
- If you'd like to lead a trip, go here.
- If you'd like to donate, go here.
- If you want to talk about ways you can support our mission, contact us.
Do you fund student trips?
No, we do not fund student trips. We deliver high value to our audience and, with the help of our donors, offer our services at no cost. The people we work with want to go to Israel—they see the learning potential and the productivity in it, so much that they are willing to pay their own way. In some cases, we do offer travel subsidies to iTrek Leaders and others.
Where is Israel & Co. based?
Israel & Co. operates in a vibrant WeWork office space in Midtown Manhattan and via a program manager based in Tel Aviv. Having our office at WeWorks means we are part of a community of creative people who are changing the world, and we love the energy and collaborative spirit.
Why do you care so much about Israel?
Many people around the world associate Israel with religion and conflict, which often translates into an unfavorable public opinion of Israel. We see a pressing need to grow a network of people who have an understanding of and appreciation for Israel's values and contributions to the world, and who will take that knowledge and approach with them as they become leaders in their professional and civic lives.
Israel & Co. introduces people to the Israel beyond the news so that they can experience for themselves Israel's rich history, business innovation, hospitality and complex culture, and form their own first-hand opinions.

As far as this site is concerned, having no schedule to hold to now means my posts will be less regular, to be sure, and less frequent, but I plan to continue posting as I have ideas and time to fill them out a bit. It also means that I may be slightly less rigorous - I have always felt I needed at least 4 good titles to make an idea worth posting, but I may, here, sometimes post with less if it's something I would like to put out there or titles that I think go well together.
I hope that if you were a reader on Playdate, you will continue to enjoy the lists here, as well.

Community Helpers: Where Do We Get It?
Here are a handful of books of community helpers that illuminate the goings-on in stores, groceries, and restaurants, a great way to show kids what it takes to get a dinner on their table. Not only will you bring them to greater understanding of the world around them, but you will expand their vocabulary and maybe - just maybe - even get a little appreciation at mealtime. Maybe.
The Candystore Man, by Jonathan London, ill. Kevin O'Malley
This book is more ode to a superpopular neighbourhood character than it is a look at how the man runs his store, but part of what makes him so special is his engagement with his community. He treats the winning football team to milkshakes and pinball, takes a blind boy to a basketball game, and shells out on Hallowe'en, not to mention being on cool cat. The story is written in a be-bop beat, as if in tribute to the candy store man's obvious love for all things jazzy, and O'Mally's illustrations would add fun to a funeral, so while a bit slight on the actual job involved, it's a winner for sharing at storytime.
A Fruit & Vegetable Man, by Roni Schotter, ill. Jeanette Winter
Ruby is a greengrocder who takes great pride in his work, choosing the best produce, stacking it artistically, and serving his customers well. New arrival Sun Ho soon becomes a young admirer of Ruby, who is much beloved in the neighbourhood, and asks Ruby to show him how he does it. Ruby takes him along on a day, teaching him how to choose, haggle, stack, and serve, all of which pays off when he for the first time becomes to sick to open the store for a few days. When he returns, he finds that Sun Ho and his family have been taking care of business for him, and decides that he can at last retire, leaving the community in good hands. This is a nice bok about taking pride in your work and serving your customers with integrity, and it really shows the dedication in some of those mainstays of the world around us.
The Storekeeper, by Tracey Campbell Pearson
This homey book follows the day of a general store proprieter who opens early, orders new stock, sorts mail, shelves product, and serves donuts while she helps out pretty much everyone in town wanting one thing or another. It is simply told, with some detail added in the cute drawings, but shows how busy it is to keep a small business running. There may not be too many small general stores left in the world, but I think it can translate to many a small business owner!
Market Day, by Lois Ehlert
This book shows a farming family loading up and going into town for market day, and is told in rhyme. The illustrations are a bit strange, but really interesting - a collage of folk art items that give the whole thing a sort of Central or South American feel. While this is not how a lot of North America has ben typically buying its food, the farmer's market is on the rise, and families who frequent them might really enjoy this relatable glimpse into their food's suppliers.
Feast For 10, by Cathryn Falwell
A family gets ready for a big family dinner in this cute counting book, starting with a trip to the grocery store, and continuing with the preparation of the meal. The paper-and-cloth collage illustrations are terrific, and I love the level of detail. It feels jut like any family outing to the grocer's, with one of the five children riding on the cart, others helping gather the ingredients for dinner. I also love it when a picture book features of family of colour without the story being about that, and this family is a good-looking one, to be sure.
The Little Red Hen (Makes a Pizza), by Philemon Sturges, ill. Amy Walrod
This urban take on the familiar tale of the little red hen is a winner. In it, the hen decides to make a pizza, and as she discovers the many things she will need and doesn't have, she is, as expected, given no help by her friends, who are out playing in the street. Instead, she runs out to the hardware store, the supermarkt, and the delicatessen to get what she neds, cooks it up herself, and in the end, breaks with th traditional tale and shares it with her shiftless friends. They repay her kindness by helping with th dishes, showing that they are no complete do-nothings after all. The story is definitely a fun retelling, but what pushes it into fantastic trritory is the comedic details in the paper collage illustrations - the selections and labels of the food in her pantry alone make it worth taking this treat home to share.
Piggy's Pancake Parlour, by David McPhail
This is found in the picture book section, but it is sort of a picture-early chapter hybrid, as it is much more text-heavy than you average picture, and divided into chapters for easily reading it over a few nights of storytime, if you wish. In it we meet piggy, and discover how he learned to cook pancakes, how he met fox, and how the two of them went on to open a pancake restaurant together, including the story of how they experimented with having a model train deliver the pancakes to customers, but found it easier to do by hand in the end. It's a lovely book, a tale of friendship and work paying off in something wonderful, and a good story overall. McPhail's typically beautiful and finely detailed illustrations make the whole thing sing.
Big Jimmy's Kum Kau Chinese Take Out, by Ted Lewin
A young boy takes us with him as he spends the day helping out at his dad's chinese takeout restaurant. We see the ingredients delivered, the kitchen cleaned and the cooking stations prepared, the meat and vegetables chopped, and huge bowls of rice and noodles made ready. The boy folds menus while he waits for opening time, and once they do open up, the rush begins. Phones ring and woks sizzle as the boy helps stuff bags with orders, bringing them out to customers, and taking a moment to eat after the lunch rush. At the end of the day, though, he eats his favourite - pizza! Lewin's incredibly gorgeous watercolours bring this work to life, and in an artis's note at the end he notes that the restaurant is a real place in Brooklyn, and that the paintings were done from photographs he took, though the people are fictional and added in from other sources. It is, in a word, a prfect look into the running of a busy chinese restaurant.

National Treasure: Barbara Reid
What's so special about her, that I should call her a national treasure? I first became aware of her for her illustrations, which are phenomenal. A master of plastiscine, she shapes, blends, and texturizes with more detail than anyone I have seen in this medium, and even, sometimes, incorporates little bits of found stuff into the images, giving them an extra dimension of real life. Not only are her details incredible, but she has a gift for faces, something I always appreciate in an artist. So after enjoying her work on Jo Ellen Bogart's Gifts and Beverley Allinson's Effie, most notably, I began to notice her own work, and loved it even more. It turns out that as great as her genius for the image, her skill as a storyteller matches it. She uses lovely storytellerly details that give her stories a feel of modern fairy tales, and when she uses rhyme, she does it with skill and a nice, readable metre. Treasure, indeed. Here are some of my favourites:
Subway Mouse
This is one of her tales that is at once thoroughly modern, taking place in a subway system inhabited by a gang of tattooed mice, yet retains something of the air of a classic tale in its journey and its delightfully satisfying ending. Toronto readers will recognize a lot of details, and this work is an example of her incorporating lots of scraps of real objects that work perfectly to bring her already nicely detailed world that much closer to perfection.
The Golden Goose
I adore this twist on fairy tales and their often-spoiled princesses. Here, a pragmatic and earth-loving girl is completely misunderstood by her loving but status-conscious father, who wants to buy her some happiness and in his attempts, destroys the very things that she loves. In the end, her story fortunately intersects with that of a young man who has found a golden goose and is being tailed by a gaggle of greedy townspeople. The two hit it off perfectly, and are able to return her favourite places to the little patch of what they consider heaven. Her father may be left scratching his head, but he's happy she's happy, and all is well with a nice, modest couple. Sweet, full of great values without talking about them, and charming in its execution, I have given this as a gift more than once.
The Party
Anyone who has attended a big family party will appreciate how well she picks up on what goes on, from an aunt's big smooch to chasing around with cousins to the sleepy ride home later than usual. it's note perfect, and the rhyming works nicely, something I always watch for.
Zoe's Sunny Day / Rainy Day / Windy Day / Snowy Day
This set of simple books tells about what Zoe gets up to in different types of weather, and make a great introduction to talking about weather. Perfect for toddlers and early preschoolers, they are short and capture what it's like to be a young kid at the mercy of the outdoors and your mother's dictates.
Sing a Song of Mother Goose
She may not be an author in the truest sense of the word here, but she has put together one of my favourite collections of nursery rhymes, right up there with those illustrated by Rosemary Wells and by Kady MacDonald Denton, some illustrious (ha!) company, if ever there was.
Fox Walked Alone and Two By Two
These stories are both about Noah's Ark, but the Fox version is told from the point of view of the fox. Reid has said that she wrote it partly to try to answer some of the many questions the story had raised for her. If you are planning to introduce a child to this tale, one or both of these would be a wonderful way to do it.
Fun With Modeling Clay
In this how-to art book, Reid shares some of her tips and tricks to teach kids how to play with clay. Imagine, lessons from the master... A great way to extend her stories, to bring the concept of illustration home more fully to children, or add an extra dimension to an author study.

Pumpkinpie's Picks
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, by Judi Barrett, ill. Ron Barrett
This old classic was a surprise hit with Pumpkinpie! I thought it might hit her funny bone, but it is a slightly more sophisticated humour than I quite expected from a girl who still loves a good fart joke more than anything. Okay, so her favourite part is the man with a noodle stuck over his head, but still, I'm delighted to have her enjoying this amusing tall-tale of weather gone weird. Being more sophisticated also means that this would work for a child a year or two older till, too. (I'm not sure the forthcoming movie will work, though, depending on how muich they focus on the danger of the storms getting out of control. Will have to preview that one.)
Watch Me Throw The Ball! and I Will Surprise My Friend! (Elephant & Piggie books), by Mo Willems
The Elephant & Piggie series by kidlit superstar Mo Willems is fantastic, and so far all of them have been hits with her. These are the latest two we have been reading, and they crack both of us up every time. The serious and slightly stressed Gerald is balanced nicely by his light-hearted friend, Piggie, and Willems' signature cartoon style makes them quick and easy reads for parent and for emerging readers. We have on occasion taken turns reading parts, which works well with the colour-coded speech bubbles, the two characters, and the simple, short phrases. Yes, I'm fooling my child into reading to me, at least a little. What's not to love?
Pirate Pete's Talk Like a Pirate, by Kim Kennedy, ill. Doug Kennedy
Pirate Pete is looking for some rascals to crew his ship, and when he interviews a few, he finds that while they may be dirty and ready to steal and plunder, might swab the deck and fire a cannon like a pro, it is still hard to find a mate who can talk like a pirate, his prime criterion. After sending all the prospective pirates over the plank, he discovers that he had the prfect crew member on board the whole time - his parrot, who apparently has picked up his speech habits. This one is really funny, but be prepared to have a sore throat from growling in pirate speak night after night after night. (Yes, it was in heavy rotation.)
The Cow That Laid An Egg, by Andy Cutbill, ill. Russell Ayto
Marjorie the cow did not feel special, living with cows that seemed to do circus tricks, so her friends the chickens take matters into their own hands. Things get a little out of control, and it looks like the game is about to be up, when a surprise twist melts Marjorie's heart and makes the silly story sweet. The story and resolution remind me of Dr. Seuss's Horton Hatches An Egg, rendered in a simpler barnyard tale and illustrated in a style that brings to mind Lauren Child, of Charlie and Lola fame. Overall, a fun read with a cute ending that manages not to leave a sappy aftertaste.

'Pie on Pie
As the weather grows warmer (well, okay, not today, but on the whole, we're getting there...), my thoughts turn to summer. yes, I love spring, but I dream of summer. The warm weather, the carefree feeling in the air - and the fruit. And, of course, because I have a sweet tooth, the fruit pies. Well who doesn't love pie? Since I'm not alone, there are some terrific picture books that pay tribute to the wonders of pie. You just might want to make sure you have some on hand if you are going to make these part of your reading, because you know they are going to want some...
Enemy Pie, by Derek Munson, ill. Tara Calahan KingThis young boy has never had an enemy before, but now he does, and he doesn't know what to do. But his dad (who, oddly, looks a little like Richard Nixon...) does: you make enemy pie. Must be full of groos things, he decides, and offers some up, btu they aren't what his dad needs for the pie. As his dad mixes and bakes the pie, the kid tries to dream up the horrible stuff that must be in it, and is a little confused by the good smells wafting from the ktichen. (If it smelled bad, explains dad, your enemy wouldn't eat it. Sneaky!) So does it do bad things to your enemy instead? Dad keeps quiet, but tells him that the delivery is tricky - you have to spend a day with your enemy being nice to him. Of course, by the end of it, the two have become friends and the delicious pie is simply dessert. Funny and clever, I like this take on how to handle an enemy without ever teaching.
Sweet Dream Pie, by Audrey Wood, ill Mark TeagueA special pie is made on this street, but only now and then. When it seems time again, candies and all things sweet are baked into a massive mountain of gooey goodness, and everyone wants some. The smell is overwhelming, and all the neighbours partake, but when they overeat, things begin to get weird, and the dreams begin to get out of hand. By Wood, a master of silly, and Teague, whose illustrations are a marvel, this combination makes for some magic of its own in the form of a great book, though I think it works better for slightly older kids.
How To Make An Apple Pie and See The World, by Marjorie Priceman
If you want to make the perfect pie, you need the finest of ingredients, right? So in true over-the-top foodie style, you might want to travel the world to fetch the freshest, most exotic spices, for a start... This is a fun story of an around-the-globe trip, a sort of Amazing Race for pie, even if it is ludicrous. because really, isn't ludicrous one of the best ingredients for a kids' book? (See what I did there? Ingredient? Heh?) If your child is curious about voyages, why not take a fun one like this, and end on a note of dessert?
Pie in the Sky, by Lois Ehlert
This simple, wonderfully illustrated book is typical of Ehlert's, and reminds me quite a bit of her Growing Vegetable Soup. In both, a father tells a child that they are growing a foodstuff, and the child is then involved in the growing of the ingredients. They emphasize not only where food comes from and the cycles of growth, but also the patience required. As the tree goes through its growth cycle and birds and raccoons eat from the cherry crop, excitement grows, until it is time to pick cherries and make them into pie. The making of the pie is part of the story, and could serve as instructions if you wanted to try it out at home, as well. Cooking is, in fact, a great activity to share with children, not only teaching them about the reading and following of instructions, but also some rudimentary math and science skills. In the end, though? Oh come on - cherry pie, people! Yum.
The Apple Pie Tree, by Zoe Hall, ill. Shari Halpern
This book is another one about the tree in the backyard, this time an apple tree. This book is also aimed at young children, with lovely but simple collage illustrations, however this book does a pretty good job of walking quickly through the seasons and cycles of the tree and the robins it houses. In the end, though, apples are harvested and added to apple pie. A recipe at the end adds a nice element for extending the story if you are inclined towards baking with your child, and is joined by a bit of information on bees and pollination. The focus here is less on the pie, but the book is a great one for sharing with a child where fruit comes from. (Life cycles are also a kindergarten curriculum element, so it's a good way to bring some of that home.)
Original posted on Better Than a Playdate.
The Apple Pie That Papa Baked, by Lauren Thompson
This is a riff on the familiar cumulative rhyme "this is the house that Jack built," this time celebrating where the apples came from. The art in this book takes up the neo-retro trend seen in Chris Wormell's gorgeous woodcuts, in Cynthia Rylant and Nikki McClure's new All in a Day, and even to some degree in Kevin Henke's A Good Day. The ivory pages and black, red, and brown colour scheme further the older feel of the book and work well for the rural setting. A nice simple intro to apples for the young.
All for Pie, Pie for All, by David Martin, ill. Valeri Gorbachev
Five cats all eat a slice of pie, which leaves one slice sitting while they nap. Five mice all eat some of that, which leaves six crumbs sitting while they nap. The ants eat those, and then they, too, nap. When everyone wakes up hungry, the Grandma cat suggests they bake another pie, and everyone pitches in. It's cute, and makes a sort of interesting turnaround of the Little Red Hen story.

About the research
As part of a larger study, CTRE conducted a pilot program in Iowa to assess the feasibility of a US Road Assessment Program (USRAP). Based on EuroRAP concepts, the usRAP pilot studies have tested two potential protocols for safety assessment and mapping of roadway systems. These are 1) risk mapping to document the risk of death and serious injury crashes and show where risk is high and low and 2) star ratings based on inspection of roads to examine how well they protect users from crashes and from deaths and serious injuries when crashes occur. CTRE has continued work on phases 2 and 3. See the usRAP website above for more information.

One of Arnold Schwarzenegger favorite exercises was using the EZ curl bar dumbbell with the arm blaster. An arm blaster is a harness that you slide over your neck and those hands over your shoulders.[contentblock id=1 img=adsense.png]
It primarily prevents your arms from moving and puts the elbows firmly in place. It simply isolates the biceps and will force your biceps to work harder arms in position s you curl. It prevents excessive swinging and allows all the stimulation to be place don the bicep muscles. More isolation usually means more intensity and the higher the intensity the higher the potential growth in your arms.
Bulk up your biceps each time you grab a workout bar with the Body Solid Bicep Bomber. Consisting of a webbed nylon belt, a thick, oversized neoprene neck pad, and dense elbow pads, the Bicep Bomber isolates your arms and shoulders while you perform dumbbell or barbell curls. As a result, your back and elbows stay locked in the perfect curling position, resulting in an efficient, ergonomically correct bicep workout. And don't worry about piling on the weight, as the nylon belt handles up to 1,000 pounds.

What is a general procedure for "solving" a triangle—that is, for finding the unknown side lengths and angle measures given three side lengths and/or angle measures?
First, some notation: let $A$, $B$, and $C$ be the measures of the three angles and let $a$, $b$, and $c$ be the lengths of the sides opposite those angles, respectively. Now, let's look case-by-case at the possible sets of information we could have.
Let's start with the case where we know the three sides, $a$, $b$, and $c$. We can use the Law of Cosines, in the form where it is solved for the cosine of an angle, to find the measures of two of the angles, then use the fact that the sum of the measures of the angles is 180° to find the third:
If we know two sides and the measure of the angle they include, say $a$, $b$, and $C$, we can use the Law of Cosines to find the unknown side length, then pick up with the SSS process to find the unknown angles:
$$c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2-2ab\cos C}$$
If we know the measures of two angles, we can find the measure of the third angle using $A+B+C=180°$, so let's assume we know all three angle measures $A$, $B$, and $C$, and the side length $a$. We can use the Law of Sines to find each of the unknown side lengths:
$$b=\frac{a\sin B}{\sin A}$$
$$c=\frac{a\sin C}{\sin A}$$
If we know two side lengths and the measure of an angle that isn't included between the two known sides, say $a$, $b$, and $A$, we can start by using the Law of Sines to find $B$, but this may give two solutions:
$$\sin B=\frac{b\sin A}{a}$$
If $\sin B=\frac{b\sin A}{a}>1$, then there is no solution and the given information does not determine a triangle (it is impossible for the given information to describe a triangle).
If $\sin B=\frac{b\sin A}{a}=1$, then $B$ is a right angle and the given information determines a single triangle.
If $\sin B=\frac{b\sin A}{a}<1$, then there are two solutions for $B$:
$$B_1=\arcsin\left(\frac{b\sin A}{a}\right)\text{ or }B_2=180°-B_1$$
In each case, we can use $A+B+C=180°$ to determine $C$:
$$C_1=180°-A-B_1\text{ or }C_2=180°-A-B_2$$
At this point, $B_1$ and $C_1$ will definitely describe a triangle, but if $C_2\le0$ then $B_2$ and $C_2$ do not describe a triangle. Whether we only have the $B_1$ case or both the $B_1$ and $B_2$ cases, we can use the Law of Cosines to find the unknown side:
$$c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2-2ab\cos C}$$
Knowing three angles only determines the triangle up to similarity—that is, if we don't know at least one length, we're not going to be able to find any lengths.
Wikipedia MathWorld
$$c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos C$$
$$\cos C=\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}$$
Wikipedia MathWorld
$$\frac{\sin A}{a}=\frac{\sin B}{b}=\frac{\sin C}{c}$$

Mondelez International Achieves 100 Percent Palm Oil Sustainability Milestone Two Years Early
Jan 16, 2014, 08:00 EST
DEERFIELD, Ill., Jan. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mondelez International, Inc. (NASDAQ : MDLZ ) announced today that it achieved Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) coverage for 100 percent of the palm oil it bought in 2013. This is two years ahead of the company's existing commitment to cover all requirements by 2015 through a combination of RSPO-certified oil and Greenpalm certificates that support sustainable production.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121003/MM86695LOGO)
"Achieving 100 percent RSPO is an important milestone toward our long-term commitment to only buy palm oil that's produced on legally held land, doesn't lead to deforestation or loss of peat land, respects human rights, including land rights, and doesn't use forced or child labor," said Dave Brown, Vice President of Global Commodities and Strategic Sourcing. "We recognize the need to go further, so we've also challenged our palm oil suppliers to provide transparency on the levels of traceability in their palm oil supply chains. Knowing the sources of palm oil supplies is an essential first step to enable scrutiny and promote improvements in practice on the ground."
In the first months of this year, Mondelez International will review results from suppliers and publish an action plan during the second quarter 2014 to give priority to supplies that meet the company's sustainability principles, and eliminate supplies that do not, by 2020 at the latest.
The company's work in palm oil is part of a wider commitment to sustainably source key agricultural commodities. Its 10-year, $600 million investments in signature programs Cocoa Life and Coffee Made Happy are helping farmers create thriving communities, while Harmony, its successful European wheat sourcing program, is promoting biodiversity and good environmental practices. For more information, please see Mondelez International's position statement on palm oil on its corporate website: http://bit.ly/1b3zd95.

Associate Professor & WGHL Certificate Faculty Director
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Tel: 848-932-8416
Office: RDJC 214
Website: https://www.kylaschuller.org/
Ph.D. in Literature from University of California, San Diego (2009)
Research Interests
Feminist science studies; the cultural politics of evolution; nineteenth-century U.S. literature and culture; critical theories of race, gender, and sexuality; biopolitics; Transnational American Studies; and popular culture.
Biographical Notes
Professor Kyla Schuller is Associate Professor and Women's Global Health Leadership (WGHL) Certificate Faculty Director of Women's and Gender Studies at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, where she investigates the intersections between race, gender, sexuality, and the sciences. Her book The Biopolitics of Feeling: Race, Sex, and Science in the Nineteenth Century is forthcoming from Duke University Press in December 2017. In The Biopolitics of Feeling, Schuller unearths the forgotten, multiethnic sciences of impressibility—the capacity to be affected over time—to expose the powerful workings of sentimental biopower in the nineteenth century. The book challenges interpretations of sentimentalism as primarily concerned with emotional feeling and cultural production, revealing sentiment to function as a widespread technology of individual discipline and species modulation that enabled the deployment of biopower and its sciences of sex and race difference.
Schuller is an External Faculty Fellow at the Stanford Humanities Center during the 2017-2018 academic year. She has previously held an ACLS New Faculty Fellowship and positions at UC San Diego, UC Berkeley, and the UC Humanities Research Institute. Her peer-reviewed articles explore topics including: the cultural history of cosmetic surgery in the Americas; settler colonialism and the paleontological sciences; the relationship between microbial infections and affective state; and the sentimental and neocolonial politics of the blockbuster film Avatar, and other subjects in feminist science and cultural studies. At Rutgers, she teaches courses on Gender and Science, Gender and Visual Media, Queer Literature Before Stonewall, and Critical Sexualities Studies and is delighted by the talent and curiosity of Rutgers students.

The blogging!
Yesterday I was re-reading ALL my posts for the first time. It came with mixed feelings, it's funny how a person can change. Not in a sense of true beliefs, rather a change of direction, outlook and energy. Reading some of my old stuff made me realize how different I was at the time. It's weird seeing the drive and commitment I once possessed All those thoughts, driven by a fiery passion, one that reaches lightyears further than the stars. In reality however, it were just the ramblings of another madman.
I do love seeing it tough. It gives me the ability to observe myself at different stages of life. Self-reflection. A concept I very much need. Sometimes one can perceive, feel, analyze, understand, act and do things differently in the course of time. I have trouble memorizing.
P.S.: Therefore, thank you WordPress and thank you friends and family.
P.S.2: I'm talking about one blog post in particular, some others too. It's just something I could never write right now. Funny eh?

A diverse mix of Northland political newcomers and longtime stalwarts are running in the August primary election in Clay and Platte counties, but no Democrats filed for a county office in Platte County.
"We talked about it and no one was able to come up with a time when we came up with a zero slate," said Pauli Kendrick, chairwoman of the Platte County Democratic Central Committee. "We feel that we are active in the county but of course, we are not holding positions right now."
Four years ago, Republicans made a clean sweep of political offices in Platte County, defeating every Democratic incumbent and challenger.
Kendrick said those losses in the general election were extremely difficult because several promising and longtime officeholders were defeated. The Democratic committee is now focusing its efforts to capture several Missouri statehouse and other political races, Kendrick said.
"I think it goes back and forth," Kendrick said. "There have been times when Democrats were definitely in the lead and right now Republicans are but we feel very sure that we will be back."
In many races, the Aug. 5 primary will narrow the slate to one candidate for each political party in November's general election.Platte County
Presiding commissioner:
Jason Brown recently announced that he would not seek re-election. Jim Plunkett, the former 2nd District commissioner, is being challenged by Russ Wojtkiewicz and Ron Schieber.
County clerk:
Joan Harms also said she would not seek re-election. In that primary race, Nancy Armstrong will face Robert Boyer.Clay County
Presiding commissioner:
On the Republican side, incumbent Pam Mason is seeking a second four-year term. Mason is being challenged by former Missouri Rep. Jerry Nolte.
Political newcomer Jason Starr had filed for the Democratic primary but recently withdrew. Starr said it wasn't the right time for him to seek political office.
Mason said her experience as a county office-holder sets her apart from Nolte. Among her accomplishments, Mason said the county settled its ongoing legal disputes with municipalities in Clay County. Under her leadership as presiding commissioner, Mason said taxes have been cut twice and the county's bond ratings have improved. The county is on pace to add over 5,000 new homes in the next several years, she said.
"I know county government, the operations of it, the applicable laws or state statutes and the various systems used in each office to serve citizens," Mason said. "With me, the citizens know that they have an individual experienced in county government to lead it effectively."
Nolte said being the owner of a small business and serving eight years in the Missouri House of Representative give him the insight and experience to serve as presiding commissioner. Nolte said it was time for the county to embrace new leadership. The important issues facing Clay County area jobs, basic services and professionalism, he said.
"Clay County is rapidly developing; the only question is how we will grow," Nolte said. "We must change direction and choose economic opportunity and job growth, not continue the divisive politics of the past."
County clerk:
Incumbent Sheri Chapman faces Megan Thompson in the Republican primary. The winner will face Sherry Duffett, a longtime county employee who is unopposed in the Democratic race.
County auditor:
Sheila Ernzen, who was appointed to the office by Gov. Jay Nixon, faces Dale McCaslin, the husband of a Republican candidate, in the Democratic primary.
Three candidates have emerged on the Republican side, including longtime former Democrat Carol McCaslin, who had previous served as presiding commissioner and county treasurer. The two other candidates are political newcomers, Blake Scott and Bruce Culley.
County collector:
Republican Lydia McEvoy is seeking re-election, and is being challenged by Bill Doores. Former presiding commissioner and county clerk Tom Brandom is running unopposed in the Democratic primary.
McEvoy said her office has partnered with municipalities in Clay County and joined the county assessor to purchased new software. Taxpayers can now make partial payments on their tax bills.
Doores echoed McEvoy's concern for software upgrades but also said he would make improvements in how funds are collected.
"I know what it's like to keep raising the bar and right now I feel no one is working, no one is trying anymore," Doores said.
Recorder of deeds:
Incumbent Jay Lawson is being opposed by former Eastern Commissioner Katee Porter in the Republican primary.
Lawson could not be reached for comment.
Porter said her education and professional experience would enable her to manage the office professionally and in accordance with state and county law.
"The biggest problem I see for this office and Clay County as a whole is the lack of leadership it has in its top officeholders," she said. "As recorder, I will lead by example, looking for ways that will provide better customer service to the public and I will eliminate unnecessary spending within the recorder's budget so taxpayers can keep more of their money."

MADISON, AL (WAFF) - The father and stepmother of an 18-month-old girl were "too high and drunk" to save her after she swallowed a dishwashing tablet, according to court documents.

On my first day, however, instead of handing out notes or instructions, the professor dimmed the lights and showed us something I had never seen before: a film without cameras. Barely longer than two minutes, it was animated entirely onto physical film strip, and packed with color that danced, twinkled, and exploded to the sound of classic jazz. Its name was Cameras Take Five, and it sold me on Canadian Experimental Shorts. Good news if you're looking for something completely original: Melodive [$0.99] is basically Cameras Take Five: The Game.

Rome BURNS – The Vatican Conclave: Green Smoke Rising
By Robert Rand, BURN Editor
Last October, at a ceremony marking the 500th anniversary of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, Pope Benedict XVI, now retired, declared that Michaelangelo's frescoes exude the "light of God." He might have added that solar panels now light the Vatican.
The Sistine was the venue this week for a papal conclave to elect Benedict's successor. Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, from Argentina, was selected. The new pope, named Francis I, will be the beneficiary of Benedict's propensity for solar energy.
Take a look at this shot from Google maps:
The circular piazza is Saint Peter's Square. The Sistine Chapel is on the top left, above and to the right of the iconic Dome of St. Peters' Basilica. A stone's throw from the Sistene, on the other side of the basilica, is a large, modernistic, quasi-rectangular shaped building. It's the Paul VI auditorium, where, when the weather is bad, the pope holds weekly audiences with members of the public. The building has a photovoltaic panel roof.
The solar panels – more than 2000 of them — were installed in 2008, with Benedict's blessing. They produce the energy required to heat, cool and light the building. One of the project's engineers told the Associated Press that the panels "avoid 200 tons of carbon dioxide" every year. "This is the equivalent to 70 tons of oil."
Benedict, who assumed the papacy in 2005, has criticized "the unbalanced use of energy" in the world. He once asked Catholics to reduce carbon consumption for Lent. And during his papacy work began on a "Vatican Climate Forest" in Hungary. The idea: plant more than 100,000 trees to absorb as much carbon dioxide as the Holy See emits annually. The objective: make the Vatican a carbon-neutral state.
Benedict has been called a "Green Pope." He is the first pontiff to have tooled around St. Peter's square in an all electric Popemobile, donated to the Vatican last year by Renault.
The vehicle is powered by a lithium ion battery. Benedict previously had expressed interest in a solar powered vehicle.
All of which inspired one writer at The Atlantic to describe Benedict's papacy as the embodiment of "The Father, The Sun, and the Holy Spirit."
