I am still not really ready to write this post. But I want to anyway.
About 3 weeks ago I had a miscarriage. It was very early – I only knew I was pregnant for about 10 days. But from the moment I saw a positive result on the pregnancy test I loved this child as much as my other 3 children. I immediately consecrated my child to Mary and loved him with all my heart and soul.
Like my other children, this baby was planned and very much wanted. But it did take an almost heroic leap of faith for me to consent to being open to life a 4th time. My husband now works from home, but was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 4 years ago – 3 months after the birth of our 3rd child. He has been unable to work at all for most of the last 4 years. But pretty much as soon as he got his home business up and running we both knew we had to take that leap of faith and try for, perhaps, our last child. I will be 39 this year, and I went into this 4th pregnancy in full knowledge of the toll it was going to take on me physically, and all the risks involved, but we still wanted another baby so much.
On the night I began to miscarry, I told Jesus I was scared about what was going to happen to my baby. He told me "Look Clare, he is either going to be with you, or with Me." Those words gave me a huge amount of comfort in the very worst of circumstances. Whatever was going to happen, my baby would be safe.
The next few days I just cried and cried. Tears of grief that only the women in this special 'club' will understand. A club nobody wants to be a member of. My husband felt disappointed, but did not feel the need to gieve like I was. And that is fine. Everyone handles it differently. But he does respect my grief, and is being extremely supportive.
A few days in and I start with the anger – mainly at God. "So where the F**K is my baby?" Refusal to pray, refusal to receive Him in the Eucharist, storming out halfway through Mass. Worry about how I am going to raise my kids Catholic now I hate God. Worry that I will have to close my business because I will never be able to make another vestment ever again. Paralyzing fear He will take my other kids. Terrible, terrible guilt and loneliness because I cannot bear to be with the God who 'took my baby'. I still believe in Him, I just HATE Him.
We did not get the chance to baptise our baby… where is he? The church teaches that in the case of unbaptised infants, we must 'rely on the mercy of God'. The same mercy that permitted my baby to be taken from me? I'm not sure I am interested in that sort of mercy. I no longer have any desire to enter heaven when I didn't even know where my dead kid is. My plan was to go looking for him after I died. (Can I just make the point here that pastorally speaking, the Church fails spectacularly in reassuring mothers of dead unbaptised infants.)
I asked for prayers and I got them. I can only thank those who have been incredibly patient and loving with me during the last few weeks. I was truly humbled by the huge outpouring of love from the online Catholic community. I have never realised how much I rely on my brothers and sisters love until now.
When the depression hit I knew I had to quit work for a while and the only thing I could think of doing was something physical. So I started going to the Gym 5 days a week. It was a great idea and has really stemmed that depression, and has also given me a great outlet for the anger.
One of the most painful things for me was when people tried to downplay the importance and uniqueness of my baby when they said stuff like "Oh, well, it was very early…" and "obviously not meant to be…" and "you'll have another one…". No! I'm sorry, No! My kid WAS, I mean IS important! There will never be another human being like him! He will not be able to be 'replaced' with another baby – EVER!
The turning point came for me when a friends teenage son tried to commit suicide twice in one week. I suddenly realised that my child was already safe. He would never be in danger of Hell. He will never suffer, or know sin or pain or sadness or grief. But more than that I realised that my child could possibly intercede for my friends son. I just turned round one day and told my kid "Sweetheart – we've got work to do!" But I needed a sign from God that he was in heaven.
My sign came that Sunday evening when I was granted to be with my baby during Mass. Except he was not a baby at all. He was the fullness of who he was as a human being – a young man. Since then he has been with me every day, and will continue to be with me everyday for the rest of my life until he comes to throw his arms round me when I die. I am looking forward to that day immensely, but I have some more stuff to do here first, like raise his other 3 siblings! The relationship I have with him is obviously different from the relationship I have with his siblings, but nonetheless it is a relationship, and it will continue to grow and develop.
Since then I have had other people come to me asking for my son to intercede for them. I have found this rather strange, but moving, and also I think it is helping me reach some sort of level of acceptance of the situation – of which I am still grieving. Everytime someone does ask, it affirms that my sons very short life and death, does have infinite meaning and purpose, and this is extremely important to me. He WAS meant to be.
To have a son already in heaven has built a bridge for me between this life and the next which can never be broken. Heaven no longer feels so far away. The veil that separates this life from the next just got that bit thinner.

Rose McIver is a television and film actress from New Zealand. She has starred in series such as "Masters of Sex," "Once Upon a Time," and "iZombie," as well as the film "The Lovely Bones."
Rose McIver was born in Auckland, New Zealand on October 20, 1987, and was raised in Titirangi, a suburb of the city. Aside from her acting career, which started in commercials at the age of 2, she spent her younger years training as a dancer practicing both ballet and jazz dance until age 13. From there, she eventually began studying psychology and linguistics at the University of Auckland before attended Avondale College, which she graduated from in 2006.
Most of Rose's acting career has centered on television roles, with her most notable guest spots in her earlier days being on series such as "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and "Xena: Warrior Princess." By 2006, the same year she graduated college, she landed her first starring role on "Maddigan's Quest." However, it was the year 2009 which really put Rose on the map, as she not only starred in her first feature film role in Peter Jackson's "The Lovely Bones," but also became the new Yellow Ranger on 32 episodes of "Power Rangers R.P.M."
Continuing to land guest roles on TV for several more years, as well as the occasional film, Rose struck gold after playing Vivian Scully on the critically acclaimed Showtime series, "Masters of Sex." Within the same year, she also began playing the recurring role of Tinker Bell on ABC's "Once Upon a Time." Such expose lead to her being cast as the lead on The CW's comic book adaptation series, "iZombie," where she plays a young medical student who is also a zombie. Upon eating the brains of dead victims, she realizes she also adsorbs their memories, and uses them to figure out how they died.

Playhouse, QPAC
The smash-hit stage adapatation of the classic Australian coming-of-age mystery.
In the sizzling summer of 1965, bookish 14 year-old Charlie Bucktin lives in a tiny, insignificant bush town where nothing happens.
Nothing, that is, until the town's very own Huckleberry Finn – Jasper Jones (Shaka Cook) – stumbles upon a gruesome crime out by the dam. Who else would he call on for help but the sharpest kid around?
Queensland Theatre's Legal Chapter is proudly supporting playwriting in Queensland through the Play Commissioning Fund. Each year, an exciting new work is commissioned.
In 2015 the Legal Chapter supported commissioning a play about the infamous Nellie Duffy case - the 1908 murder of the housekeeper at Carpentaria Downs station. Station manager's wife Fanny Wilson and Aboriginal station-hand Billy were charged with the murder, but the jury refused to convict Billy despite his "confession". The trial failed, and the truth never surfaced.
In 2016, the Queensland Theatre Play Commissioning Fund will support a work about the intense and tumultuous relationship between Australian writer Charmian Clift (Mermaid Singing, Peel me a Lotus) and war correspondent/novelist George Johnston (My Brother Jack, Clean Straw for Nothing), often regarded as Australia's Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. The play will examine their time living on the Greek island of Hydra, their return to Australia and the relationship between life and art.
"Theatre and the law are my two great passions – that's why I'm proud to lead Queensland Theatre's Legal Chapter. Join me to experience some international-quality theatre, socialise with colleagues while also supporting our great theatre company."
Michael Back
Managing Partner
Herbert Smith Freehills

Toronto, Canada 'Äì November 7, 2001 'Äì Tucows Inc. (OTCBB: TCOW ), a leading provider of wholesale domain name registrations, announced today that it will begin taking pre-registrations on Wednesday, November 7, 2001, for .NAME, the world's only global generic top-level domain (gTLD) exclusively for personal name registrations. The registry is offering both personal domain name registrations and personalized e-mail forwarding. This should significantly increase the accessibility of personal names for registration by individuals. Tucows' pre-registration period allows individuals to submit requests for domain names more than four months in advance of the formal registration period that begins March 2002. Participation in the pre-registration process does not guarantee successful registration of a domain name. Pre-registrations will be subject to random selection.
"The launch of .NAME demonstrates the continuing evolution of domain names into a flexible, mainstream product," says Elliott Noss, President and CEO, Tucows Inc. "Clearly the industry is addressing the needs of registrants by offering more choice and more customized options."
.NAME is operated by London-based Global Name Registry Ltd., and is the third of the seven new gTLDs approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to offer alternatives to the .com, .net and .org name spaces. The launch of .NAME follows that of .INFO, which went live on
October 1, 2001, and .BIZ which is scheduled to go live November 7, 2001.
".NAME represents the third new registry that will become operational in a very short period of time," continues Noss. "Each registry has its own policies, product lines and technical configurations, increasing the complexity of the registration process across multiple TLDs. Tucows' unique OpenSRS platform offers our resellers one simple, streamlined interface to multiple systems. Our job is to help our resellers offer choice to their customers without having to undertake increased expense and technical complexity.'Äù

Books for every new experience
The first 18 months have flown! Your baby is now a toddler. Toddlers are curious and full of energy. They love to explore their surroundings – often by grabbing anything and everything in sight.
You may find you're on your feet more than ever, but there will be moments of calm. Grab the opportunity to cuddle up with a book – it's the perfect way to expand your toddler's vocabulary and awaken their imagination.
Soon, they'll be naming colours, shapes, animals, vehicles, household objects and more.
Even during story time, toddlers are still exploring. Interactive books with things they can do themselves – flaps to lift, sounds to listen to and chunky pages to turn – are perfect. Where's Spot?, the world's first lift-the-flap book, is a good place to start.
This age is full of new experiences as you set up daily routines – it could be time for potty training or maybe you're getting ready to start nursery. Sharing stories where characters like Pirate Pete and Peppa do the same new things can be reassuring.
With growing attention spans, toddlers get more and more fun out of story time. Five or ten minutes is usually enough though, so board books and nursery rhymes are perfect.

Prebiotic hydrocarbon synthesis in impacting reduced astrophysical icy mixtures
We present results of prebiotic organic synthesis in shock-compressed reducing mixtures of simple ices from quantum molecular dynamics simulations extended to close to chemical equilibrium timescales. Given the relative abundance of carbon in reduced forms in astrophysical ices as well as the tendency of these mixtures to form complex hydrocarbons under the presence of external stimuli, it is possible that cometary impacts on a planetary surface could have yielded a larger array of prebiotic organic compounds than previously investigated. We find that the high pressures and temperatures due to shock compression yield a large assortment of carbon- and nitrogen-bonded extended structures that are highly reactive with short molecular lifetimes. Expansion and cooling causes these materials to break apart and form a wide variety of stable, potentially life-building compounds, including long-chain linear and branched hydrocarbons, large heterocyclic compounds, and a variety of different amines and exotic amino acids. Lastly, our results help provide a bottom-up understanding of hydrocarbon impact synthesis on the early Earth and its role in producing life-building molecules from simple starting materials.

Hardware Roundup: Monday Edition
Posted: 04:51AM
Author: Nemo
One of the pluses of solid state drives is the faster access times it offers which makes it ideal for boot drives but the drawbacks are capacity and the fact that your can wear out a SSD with too many write/erase cycles. SilverStone has a unique product called the HDDBOOST that combines the speeds of a SSD with the capacity of a standard drive to offer the best of both worlds. Today's roundup also includes a review of the OCZ Agility 2 60GB SSD. We also managed to turn up a couple of GeForce GTX 460 reviews along with a look at the HIS Silence Radeon HD 5570.

Chapter 30-31 Summary
Quirk asks Spenser for information about what happened on the jogging trail. Spenser only comments off the record, and once he does he tells Quirk everything. Quirk says that he will let it be known that if Spenser dies, the Boston Police will make Broz's operation significantly more difficult. Spenser knows, however, that if Joe Broz wants to kill him he will keep trying. As Quirk leaves, Spenser's friend Hawk arrives.
Hawk and Spenser are old friends, and they discuss the case further. Hawk agrees to stay at the hospital and watch out for Spenser while he recovers, mostly because he does not want their mutual friends to make fun of him for letting Spenser get killed while Hawk is sleeping. The two men agree that Joe Broz would rather let the issue go than have to deal with Martin Quirk...

Erbanna Is the Line of Bags That Weed Smokers Don't Even Know How Badly They Need
Having an organized and stylish place to keep your weed that you can leave out in plain sight is an option any adult deserves.
And here we have the third of a series of mini posts one of our sponsors asked me to write about the things we've been talking about in the office. This week I've been getting on my soap box about hats, actually no, I don't mean hats, I mean fascinators.
You wouldn't guess it from my general attire, but I'm actually a massive clothes snob – I really loathe anything I deem to be 'lazy fashion.'
And the ultimate lazy fashion crime? The fascinator.
Everyone knows it's not that easy to wear a hat. You need to have a hairdo that will look good with or without the headgear on, your hat needs to match your dress, and it needs to not make you look like Frank Spencer. There's a lot to think about.
And yes, fascinators (essentially posh headbands with feathers on) are easy to wear, but that doesn't make them right. Apart from anything else, they totally lack the wow factor of a hat – everyone looks the same in them.
And what on Earth is the point of getting dressed up enough to go to a fancy wedding, or some fancy races, or a royal garden party (for example) and then looking exactly the same as everyone else there?

Vtech has created a baby doll that supposedly grows with your child as they grow.
The idea is that the more you talk to the baby the more words it learns and with more than 80 phrases to master that should take your little one some time.
Hoping to ape the success of toys like Furby from Hasbro, the new Grow With Me Baby Doll will be available in the autumn/winter for £24.99.
The baby even gradually develops from infant to pre-schooler by talking to it more and more with a number of pre-set words that are detailed in three accompanying books.
There are four pretend play activities including Talk With Me, Caring, Reading, and Music Time.
Of course you'll also get a dummy and bottle which says Vtech promotes interactive play and caring.
The idea here seems to be to deliver a technological savvy toy, but without pushing a screen in your face, while at the same time beating your average inanimate doll screaming "mumma" over and over again.

Public Policy News
The conference was filled with great papers on vulnerable populations, new initiatives in cities, and sustainable development. I even chaired a session on public management and government sustainability. It was truly focused on the theme of Public Policy for Sustainable Metropolitan Development, with almost half of all papers mentioning "city" or "urban" or "metropolitan" in their titles.
Thanks to all who have submitted proposals for the 2013 Fall Research Conference. We have over 1,800 submissions--a record! From a preliminary review of the proposals, you can rest assured that the conference will be offering you insightful, thought-provoking sessions, where you can learn about cutting edge research endeavors and their impact on policymakers at the state, local and federal level.
We continue to work on our symposium line-up: recognizing the 40th anniversary of President Johnson's "War on Poverty", highlighting exemplars of academic-government partnerships jointly building research and policy outcomes, and inviting key national leaders to discuss how they digest and use academic research in real-time.
The pre-conference workshop focusing on Ph.D. students is shaping up as well. Volunteer Ph.D. students have assumed responsibility for designing the workshop and are crafting sessions that addresses some of their professional needs, including: how to apply for grants and fellowships, how to enhance their chances of getting published, and how to identify career opportunities outside of academia. They also are working on ways to help enhance their professional networks through exposure to APPAM members who can serve as commentators on their research and as mentors as they launch their careers. Thanks to all of the deans who have alerted their Ph.D. students of this opportunity.
That is it for now. I am confident we have achieved our primary aim of engaging the wider APPAM community in a deeper thinking of how to make inroads into a more practical application of our research. I look forward to further debate and discussion around these issues at the conference. We have exciting things in store.
Stay tuned for more information on how the final program is shaping up.
All the best,
Angela Evans, APPAM President-elect

Bentley students report encouraging return on their college investment
Jul 31, 2013, 20:00 ET
WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- With higher education institutions facing tough questions about the value of their offerings and whether they are adequately preparing students for life after graduation, Bentley's 2012 graduates report encouraging news: 98% of the responding class is employed or attending graduate school.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130219/DC61345LOGO)
A survey of the Class of 2012, combined with social media tracking efforts by the Undergraduate Career Services department, provides information on 90% percent of the class. It shows that 6 months after graduation 80 percent of graduates are employed and 18 percent are currently attending, or planning to attend, grad school full time – resulting in a placement rate of 98 percent.
The numbers give proof to Bentley's overarching mission, according to President Gloria Larson, "Our goal is to have our students leave campus as curious, thoughtful and open lifelong learners. But they also must have the market-driven skills to gain employment, build a career, and help contribute to a company or community in significant ways. This success is about even more than career development; it is driven by an innovative curriculum that prepares students for any path they want to take."
The Bentley model focuses on three educational pillars: integrated academics – a fusion of business with the arts and sciences, hands-on learning and technology. These pillars help students develop a skill set that allows them to identify, create and adapt to change. "This is what corporate partners tell us is required of today's successful leader," says Executive Director of Corporate Relations and Career Services Susan Brennan. "We work closely with executives who tell us often that business skills help our students get the job at their companies, but arts and sciences provide a context and broader knowledge base that helps these young professionals advance throughout their careers."
Members of the Class of 2012 were hired by some of the leading companies and organizations in the world, ranging from the Brookings Institution and Teach For America, to Morgan Stanley, IBM, General Electric, Boston Red Sox, Stride Rite, Raytheon, Liberty Mutual, Fidelity, MTV, and TIME Inc., as well as all of the major accounting firms.
Other data from the survey includes:
- 33 percent obtained their full-time employment through career services offerings including campus recruiting, career fairs and referrals
- 28 percent obtained their full-time offer following an internship
- 25 percent as a result of networking efforts
- Median starting salary of $50,000
In addition to the university's inventive curriculum, students benefit from a four-year approach to career services. Bentley's "Hire Education" program is focused on themes tied to each college year: Explore, Experiment, Experience and Excel.
The "Explore" phase begins freshmen year with a career development seminar that's taught in close collaboration with corporate partners and lays the foundation for a lifetime of career management. During the class students start to discover their professional path with a career assessment and begin to hone vital career skills during interactive lab sessions where they come face-to-face with corporate recruiters for mock interviews and elevator pitches.
The course lays the foundation for students' subsequent career developments as they experiment with industries through career fairs and networking events; experience internships; and, ultimately prepare to excel in a dynamic workplace. Adds Brennan, "By the time graduation is in sight, students should have four years of targeted career development; and, in the process, design and implement a customized career action plan for themselves that offers a solid and sustainable bridge to the economy of the 21st century."

Nikon's D70 has long been my favorite digital camera, D-SLR or otherwise, and the D70s is the updated version of this old favorite. The D70s is a little faster than the D70, has a bit longer battery life, and a slightly larger LCD display. In short, it's more of a very good thing.
With the D70s, you get high-end D-SLR performance at a relatively affordable price. This camera is fast (operation is virtually instant-on, and you can shoot up to 3 frames per second—up to 144 consecutive shots in a row), rugged (black metal case), and versatile. You can shoot in a variety of preprogrammed modes, as well as aperture priority, shutter priority, or manual mode; you can also override the auto focus just by touching the manual focus ring on the lens. The D70s delivers shutter speeds from 30 to 1/8000 seconds, and flash-synchronized shutter speeds up to 1/500 seconds.

At around this time last year, an exhibition of 'green' globes went on display outside the Telus World of Science. They were so descriptive at describing the need to save our planet, we wish they would come back!
The exhibition, called Cool Globes – Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet, featured an assortment of globes weighing one tonne each that showcased the impacts of and solutions to global warming for the purposes of increasing awareness and education.
According to Science World's news release of February 2010, the idea behind the Cool Globes exhibition was to encourage people to think about the environment by showing them through visual display. The exhibition had been presented in Chicago, Washington D.C., San Francisco, San Diego, Sundance, Los Angeles, Houston, Copenhagen (at the UN Conference on Climate Change), Geneva, and Marseille, before making its way to Vancouver in early 2010.
The Cool Globes project exemplifies the effectiveness of community participation and the impact it can have on people. "The globes are large and powerful symbols of how the choices we make affect the world around us", as per Science World's news release. The green globes are designed not only by artists, but also by community groups and children. Each globe depicts its own solution to global warming.
Deemed "public art with a purpose", the globes were made to inspire reflection on the state of our planet. Pauline Finn, Science World's Vice President of Community Engagement, suggested their placement outside the building in order to attract the attentions of those passing by. The globes also helped to encourage 'green-ness' and Science World's commitment to sustainability.
Responsible for the exhibition is Cool Globes, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the environment. The organization was motivated by the Clinton Global Initiative in 2005 and became a non-profit organization in 2006. Cool Globes aims to raise awareness of solutions to climate change through presentations of public art presented in numerous cities. In the words of the organization: "It is our hope that the millions of people who have experienced the exhibit, leave with a vast array of solutions to climate change, and with one clear message…we can solve this."
Wendy Abrams' (founder of Cool Globes) inspiration came from an article on global warming and its consequences as a result of a simple flip-through of Time magazine. Her shock in the discrepancy in the attention paid to this issue between the scientific community and the public, as well as in the media's general apathy toward the circumstances, led her to make a commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative to take action.
Abrams' passion and dedication toward the issue of global warming resulted in Cool Globes – Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet, and the success of the exhibition is evidence of its ability to instigate not only passion and dedication, but also motivation and teamwork, in others.
Visit their website at www.coolglobes.com to learn more. Then, let us know, do you think Vancouverites should have their own permanent display of eco-educating globes?

My headphone jack sometimes not responding to headphones.
Hi. I got new problem - sometimes my headphone jack not reacts on headphones insertion, and SMC/PRAM reset not fixing it. Only thing is working - reboot laptop with headphones on it.
But after notebook going to sleep it again cant indicate headphones.
Is this a good question?
So finally i have found an replacement and ordered it:
After installation i will inform you if this fixed problem.
Hello guys,
just want to share with you that replacement of headphone port doesn't helped at all. Dont know what to do now, so disappointed. I think this is something with motherboard then.
Today i will clean install whole OS. If that is software problem - that should fix it.
Clean install doesn't make any difference. Big still exists
I found this same issue on a mac mini, it happens after screen lock or sleep. It happens because the screen the it is plugged into has speakers and is connected via HDMI. when it happens go in to sound preferences and switch back to "headphones"

Seitz: Farewell to Community, Which Was TV and Everything That's Ever Been on TV
<i>Community</i> was the most meta-textual half-hour comedy in network TV history.
Community is dead. You've read that sentence before. Sometimes "dead" was preceded by "probably." During season four, in which NBC replaced creator Dan Harmon and the show became a zombie version of itself, the modifier was "creatively." There's no modifier this time. Forget six seasons and a movie. Now it's five seasons (four if you decide not to count the Harmon-less season). There could be a sixth at some other network or cable channel, or more likely at a streaming service such as Netflix or Amazon or Hulu, but only if the contracts allow it. Then maybe, maybe, maybe a movie. Maybe. Kickstarter? Bueller?
Deep breath.
Not to go all Abed and soapbox on you, but ... [Pulls up soapbox, stands on it] ... the very existence of this dense, allusive and defiantly not-for-everybody sitcom was a miracle, and the fact that it ran for 97 episodes was another, bigger miracle. Community was the most meta-textual live-action half-hour comedy in network TV history. More so than any network series since The Simpsons, it was television, and almost anything that could appear on television. It was typical sitcom tomfoolery. It was satire and parody. It was an action film or a Western or a paranoid thriller or a musical when it wanted to be. It sent up Ken Burns and soaps and timeline-twisting science fiction, and cartoons, and puppetoons. Not only did it seem too smart and ostentatiously self-aware for network TV, few cable series could match its ingenuity. Even when a scene or sequence or episode wasn't quite working, you appreciated the complexity, the ambition, the fervor of each situation, image, and joke, as well as the baked-in (maybe just baked) tension between the show and the "show." Harmon and his writing staff seemed engaged in some mysterious ongoing contest to see how many pop-culture footnotes they could hang on a conversation and still have you care about the story as a story and the characters as people, or "people." It is certainly the only series in network TV history equally inspired by Gilligan's Island, Our Town, and the holodeck on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Even that mostly misbegotten "off" season feels like an organic part of this deliberately inorganic but still weirdly touching sitcom, the creative-high water mark of which remains (for this viewer, anyway) Abed's monologue from season two's "Critical Film Studies" about being, nothingness, and appearing as an extra on Cougar Town: "If I'm a person that watches Cougar Town, how can I be in Cougar Town? The more I start thinking about it, the less any of it makes any sense at all. And I just want to turn and run, but it's too late, because the director's calling 'Action.' So, before I take my first step, I realize that I have to stop being someone who's ever seen this show, and become a character on the show … become a man from Cougar Town."
Or as Harmon put it when I interviewed him a few years ago, "You're seeing something that is supposed to be kind of alienating and snarky, yet there's this weird guy behind it all who is saying, 'This is how I am communicating with you.' That's why the show is neither spoof nor humble servant to its medium."
Not either/or. Neither/nor. That was and was not Community.

102 University Ave.
Provo, UT
It was my birthday a few weeks ago and I wanted to go somewhere good. I had been wanting to go to communal for about three years, no joke. The one-time I did attempt to go we didn't make reservations and there was no chance we were going to be seated without one. So finally, three years later, I returned excited to try it out because I had only heard good things.
We had a large group, nine of us, and it is family-style so we ordered about 12 different dishes to share. I like this because you get to try so many different dishes in one visit. The portions end up being small because we split them between nine people and you end up getting a sample. By the end, the women were full but all of the men joked about stopping at in-and-out burger on the way home. We reassured them quality over quantity and they couldn't argue about that.
What We Got...
Caramelized Fennel and Mushroom Tart-A great appetizer to share, because it was big enough to split between the group. I never have cooked with fennel, but it tasted so good on the tart.
Shrimp Cocktail- your average, nothing special shrimp cocktail.
Roasted Winter Squash Salad- This was the groups favorite salad of the night. The little bits of squash were so good in the salad.
Fried Clifford Farm Egg- It was good but we liked the squash salad better.
Pan Seared Salmon- Good but nothing special.
Asian Pork (special that night)-This was the tables favorite protein choice. It was delicious!
Macaroni and Cheese-Good Mac and Cheese. We all wish this had been a bigger portion because we literally only got one small bite.
Anson Mill's Fried Polenta
The service was good. Our waitress explained the menu to us and she recommended that we get the mashed potatoes with cheese curds and I'm glad she did because they were delicious.
Green light restaurant. Everything we got tasted amazing. The top favorites and what I would recommend getting are the roasted winter squash salad, Asian pork, roasted Mary's farm chicken, and yukon gold potatoes. Don't waste your time with the average dishes, ask for their most popular dishes, and enjoy them. The menu is always changing and I like that they try to use fresh, local ingredients in the dishes. Because it is a little pricier it wouldn't be a place that I would be able to go to all the time. But when I can find a good excuse, special occasion, or whatever reason, I'll take it so that I can go back.
Scale Rating Descriptions
Green Light: I'll be coming through all the time, call me a regular, recommend to everyone and all, I'll crave this place when I'm pregnant, loved it!
Yellow Light: I'll be slow to go through, I'd go back if someone suggested it, nothing special, not something I'm going to crave, it was ok.
Red Light: STOP! Don't go, tried it once and that's enough, warn people not to go, thinking about it brings back bad memories, didn't like it.

Miami CNA course
Hi everyone,
I'll be in Miami for a month or two and wanted to get my CNA training done there. Does anyone know of a GOOD CNA program in the area? I'm looking for maybe a weeklong or 2-weekend course for something close to $300. I know there's that official list from 2006 of the approved CNA courses in FL, but I was hoping someone could tell me about a more recent experience they had for a class in the Miami area.
Thanks in advance!

The Jets hired Rex Ryan as their head coach 980 days ago. He's only caused divisive opinions on about 978 of them.
Ryan finds himself under attack this week from Jets legend Joe Namath, who sounded more like "Joe Willie from Beaver Falls. First time, long time," when he ripped Ryan for pumping up his team too much.
This criticism of Ryan has to stop. It's ridiculous. People forget what this franchise was like when Ryan took over. Do you want Mealy-Mouthed Mangini back saying nothing every week?
Ryan's braggadocio is an easy target when the Jets lose a game like Sunday's. The vultures circle and scream about Ryan putting a target on the Jets' backs or that the team is too cocky.
The 34-24 loss to the Raiders had less to do with Ryan's pregame speeches and more to do with a lack of tackling by his defense. If you want to rip him for that, go ahead. But to question how he prepares his team when none of us really knows what goes on in team meetings is a waste of breath.
Listen to what Jason Taylor, who spent 2010 with the Jets, told NBC in Miami about playing for Ryan:
"He's the anti-normal NFL coach," Taylor said. "But the beauty of him, and what his players like, is he's ultra-confident and optimistic."
Taylor talked about the Jets' playoff victory over the Patriots in January. Though the Jets had lost 45-3 to the Pats a month earlier, Taylor said Ryan made the Jets believe there was no chance the Patriots could beat them again.
"I promise to you on my kids' eyeballs there wasn't a person on our football team that thought we were going to lose to New England," Taylor said. "That's how confident we were.
"It was ingrained in us so much that it became us."
Namath is the better former Jet, but Taylor is the better source on this one because he actually has been in Ryan's practices and meetings.
It's funny that this week's opponent is the Ravens. Ryan got his coaching degree in Baltimore, and desperately wanted to be the team's head coach when Brian Billick was fired after the 2007 season. But Ryan's style even hurt him there.
The Ravens passed him over to hire John Harbaugh. Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti had not addressed the reason he did not hire Ryan until this summer during a conference call with season-ticket holders.
"From a chemistry standpoint . . . we really liked John and we thought it was going to be tougher for Rex to bring the whole team together after him spending 10 years on one side of the ball that was the dominant side of the ball," Bisciotti said.
Bisciotti declined an interview request this week from The Post.
Jets wide receiver Derrick Mason was on the Ravens when Ryan was passed over and said the players were disappointed. He also said the idea of Ryan being divisive is wrong.
"Everybody loved him throughout that football team," Mason told The Post. "I don't think there was one guy who didn't enjoy Rex. You had a bunch of offensive guys that loved him. Those are things you don't get in other places where the defensive coordinator is liked by the offensive guys."
Ryan has accomplished a near-perfect balance between being a player's coach and a disciplinarian. He knows when to scream at his players and when to laugh with them.
Confidence is the fuel that runs Ryan's Jets, and it has resulted in two trips to the AFC title game.
"It starts with the out-there-and-in-front head coach saying we're going to kick everybody's you know what," Taylor said of Ryan. "He writes the check and you've got to cash them. At some point, you start to believe, 'You know what, we have enough money in the bank to cash these checks.' "
No one should understand that better than Namath.
Line must prevent Sanchez beatdowns
Mark Sanchez looked as if he had just lost a fight after Sunday's loss to the Raiders. He had a red welt under his right eye and his nose was a little swollen.
It was a fitting look for Sanchez's season so far. The third-year quarterback is taking a beating.
The Raiders sacked him four times in the second half, and Kamerion Wimbley broke Sanchez's nose on one of them. This comes one week after he injured his arm on Matt Roth's helmet and two weeks after the Cowboys sent him for concussion tests.
Protecting the quarterback has become a major problem for the Jets, who have allowed nine sacks, eighth most in the NFL.
Whether you think Sanchez is a franchise quarterback or a fraud, the Jets cannot afford to lose him. Not unless you want to see Mark Brunell, who turned 41 two weeks ago, under center.
The offensive line has taken a step back with the retirement of Damien Woody, and it could be a costly one. If Sanchez is going to throw 43 times a game, like he did Sunday, the Jets have to keep him upright.
Taylor not Fin-ished tweaking
Jason Taylor is officially a Dolphin again, and back taking shots at the Jets.
Taylor, who spent last season with the Jets, told NBC in Miami that Mark Sanchez is not as physically talented as Dolphins quarterback Chad Henne.
"We need to grow and we need to continue to change, and I think Chad has grown immensely since I left here a year-and-a-half ago," Taylor said. "Chad has all the talent to do it, and he's developing that demeanor and that swagger you need to play that position.
"I saw a kid in New York, Mark Sanchez, that is young, I don't think he's as talented as Chad Henne, physically. But he has that demeanor, he has that little swagger, he understands the position that he's in and he has a good team around him."
Because the two quarterbacks play in the AFC East and were drafted a year apart, they often have been compared. But Sanchez has a clear edge in the most important category — winning.
He is 25-15 as a starter with the Jets, including four playoff wins. Henne is 13-17 as a starter and was on the bench for the only playoff game of his career.
Taylor said kind things about the Jets and Rex Ryan, but he was known early in his career for tweaking the Jets. It will be interesting to hear what he has to say leading up to the team's Monday Night meeting on Oct. 17.

Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said Turner Newman was sentenced to five years in jail; he will serve his sentence in prison.
A San Luis Obispo man who was arrested in March after police found him at a local bank with loaded guns, ammunition, a machete and restraints was sentenced Wednesday to five years in prison.
Superior Court Judge Jacqueline Duffy told defendant Turner Newman that she believed he had an undiagnosed mental illness. But, she added, his behavior on March 13 was both "frightening" and "disturbing."
Newman, 20, pleaded no contest in April to three felony weapons-related charges.
An employee at the San Luis Obispo Heritage Oaks Bank near Los Osos Valley Road said Newman appeared dazed and confused when he pulled into the bank parking lot about 6 a.m. Newman's mother, Melissa Newman, works as a teacher at the Pacific Beach continuation high school across the street from the bank.
His intentions that morning were unclear, police have said.
Deputy District Attorney Kelly Manderino said police discovered Turner Newman had performed Google searches on drugging, kidnapping and raping women. He also researched hiding corpses and the weapons used in the Newtown, Conn., school massacre.
Three women reported that he had made inappropriate advances toward them, Manderino said.
The county Probation Department's presentencing report said Newman is at a medium or high risk to re-offend, writing, "one is left to assume that he is dangerous and had every intention to use the weapons."
Ty Green, an attorney for the San Luis Coastal Unified School District, said the district was concerned about the possibility that Newman might have planned to enter the nearby school.
"We have to assume the worst," he said in court.
But Newman's attorney, Ilan Funke-Bilu, said the Probation Department's conclusions were based on fear and assumption. Newman has a mental illness, he said. And he arrived at the bank that day with all of his possessions, including T-shirts and underwear.
"This is not a psychopath," he said. "This is a sick, sick individual who needs help. He is not a criminal."
Funke-Bilu said Newman had no prior criminal history and had received medals for his two-year service in the Army.
Newman's mother said her son's involvement in the Army Special Forces might have contributed to his behavior, though she doesn't think he intended to harm anyone.
"My son has never hurt anyone," Melissa Newman said. "He has never hurt a soul."
She and Funke-Bilu had hoped for probation time and treatment.
"He needs help," the defendant's mother said. "Jail will not help. Highly supervised treatment will help him."
Just before his sentencing, Turner Newman admitted he was wrong.
"I learned a life-changing lesson," he told Duffy. "I'm asking you to please help me have a chance at a normal life."
After his prison term, Duffy said, Newman will remain under mandatory supervision for up to 730 days. She also ordered him to be evaluated for possible treatment of mental illness.
A little after 6 a.m. March 13, a bank employee called police to tell them that a suspicious man was parked outside. When the police officers arrived, Newman appeared dazed and confused, according to authorities. San Luis Obispo police later said Newman had been researching ways "to drug, render unconscious, maim, and/or kill people" on his home computer.
In April, Newman pleaded no contest to three felony weapons-related charges.

Hockey, oh how I miss ice
On what might be the hottest day of 2013, the NHL released its 2013-14 regular season schedule.

On the Cover of the Roiling Stone
As always one of the better Boston based bloggers out there.
It's Good to Live in a Two-Daily Town
First off, it should be noted that the Boston Herald broke this Rolling Stone story on page 3 of yesterday's edition (don't ask about the little green numbers – no idea why they keep popping up):
Today, the feisty local tabloid went for broke:
The one dissenting voice was columnist Margery Eagan, but she was drowned out by the other coverage, which included a couple of news reports and the always-enlightening comments of Herald readers.
Our personal favorite among the reader responses:
But wait – the paper's not done yet. There's also a smashmouth editorial, along with a venomous column from Michael Graham:
Magazine's the picture of desperation
'McDreamy' photo won't get oldies loser Rolling
Hey, Rolling Stone magazine! Next time you want to prove how provocative and edgy you are, put a flattering photo of George Zimmerman on your cover.

The rest of you shut up!
I really hate listening to people who say Boston cowered, or Boston was under martial law. We were not scared, we are not stupid. We got out of the way and let the PROFESSIONALS DO THEIR JOBS!
So tell me, all you "I would have grabbed my gun and found the bomber" if a house in your neighborhood is on fire do you get in the way of the firemen with your garden hose? No you get out of the way and let the professionals do THEIR jobs. Which is what we did this week, just as we did during Snowstorm Nemo, we got the hell out of the way and let the professionals do their jobs.
I tremble to think how many other people would have been injured if every person in the Greater Boston area grabbed a gun and went out looking for the brothers. Do the police arrest everyone? How many scared people shoot each other because they "might" be the bad guy? What Boston, and Greater Boston did was the right thing, we got out of the way and let the professionals do their job. One of those professionals lost his life doing his job, a second officer is fighting for his life. For both those men we are grateful. For all the people injured we stand with you, and will help you live again. For those who lost their lives, we can never replace you, but we will stand with your families and they will not morn alone.
For the rest of you jerks, shut up.
It has been a year
Last June I was cold called by someone who wanted to offer me an job as an Occupational Safety Engineer. I use to get those calls a lot, more so when I was still married, as that is the name my degree is under. It got slower over the years, but still I would get the calls. How people found me I don't know, because while I did tell my university of my name change, I never changed it on my transcripts or my diploma. I wonder how much that would cost, BYW.
My last call was according to my personal blog June 17th 2011. It's June 29th which means it has been a full year since I received a job offer. It could be my age, I am 52, or it could be that all the people I told to enter my field have done so and the jobs are filled. Or perhaps
Either way, it's been a year, and quite a year it was. Over all my health has been stable, not better than in past years, but I have a new normal now.

Racial Tensions Flare Anew in a Texas Town
JASPER, Tex. — For more than 100 years, a rickety iron fence separated the black graves from the white ones at a cemetery in this East Texas town. Months after the brutal murder here of James Byrd Jr., a black man chained to a pickup truck and dragged to death by three white men on June 7, 1998, the fence was torn down by residents as a sign of unity and reconciliation.
Fourteen years later, Jasper City Cemetery remains segregated: blacks, including Mr. Byrd, are buried near the bottom of the hill, while whites are buried at the top.

The Natural Capital Declaration was launched at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio +20) in 2012.
It has since been signed by the CEOs of more than 40 financial institutions, demonstrating their commitment to the eventual integration of natural capital considerations into financial sector reporting, accounting, and decision-making by 2020.
The four commitments as stated in the Declaration are:
- Build an understanding of the impacts and dependencies on natural capital relevant to our operations, risk profiles, customer portfolios, supply chains and business opportunities.
- Support the development of methodologies that can integrate natural capital considerations into the decision-making process of all financial products and services - including in loans, investments and insurance policies. We recognise that given the diversity of the financial sector, embedding natural capital considerations will differ across asset classes and types of financial institutions. We therefore aim to build on work undertaken through other initiatives, such as the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment, the Equator Principles, the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) Principles for Sustainable Insurance, and The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB), so that we can develop methodologies to:
- Apply a holistic approach to evaluating bonds and equities through the integration of natural capital considerations in environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk analysis in short, medium and long-term growth forecasts of investee companies;
- Systematically consider and value natural capital considerations in the credit policies of specific sectors, including commodities, that may have a major impact on natural capital either directly or through the supply chain;
- Systematically consider and value natural capital considerations in core insurance business strategies and operations including risk management, risk underwriting, product and service development, claims management, sales and marketing, and investment management.
- Work towards building a global consensus for the integration of natural capital into private-sector accounting and decision-making; supporting, when appropriate, the related work of The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) for Business Coalition, and other stakeholders.
- Collaborate, when appropriate, with the International Integrated Reporting Council and other stakeholders to build a global consensus around the development of Integrated Reporting, which includes natural capital as part of the wider definition of resources and relationships key to an organisation's success.
