Honoring Washington's 129 years of statehood, this anthology features 129 Washington poets, some published for the first time.

This is an expansive and memorable collection of voices.
Notable authors include Elizabeth Austen (Washington Poet Laureate 2014-2016), Sherman Alexie, Linda Bierds, Kathleen Flenniken (Washington Poet Laureate 2012-2014), Tess Gallagher, Samuel Green (Inaugural Washington Poet Laureate), Christopher Howell, Richard Kenney, Heather McHugh, Laura Read, Tom Robbins, Katrina Roberts, Derek Sheffield, Martha Silano, Ellen Welcker, Nance Van Winckel, Katharine Whitcomb, and Maya Jewell Zeller.

Release: After Our Departure
On sale today!
After Our Departure, by Ben Cartwright
winner of the Powder Horn Prize, selected by Nance Van Winckel
featuring original cover and interior art by printmaker Lindsey Merrell
In her introduction, Nance says
What first struck me as I read Ben Cartwright's poems was the scintillating language. Even when bravely addressing the ho-hum moments of drudgery in daily living, Cartwright employs a certain muscularity and musicality. In fact, reading these poems I often felt myself teetering between extremes I recognize from actual life: energy/vitality/buoyancy vs. duty/stasis/entropy. The poems pace the long plank of these mental and emotional states, and even as we hover and balance near the fulcrum, we sense what's on either side, what looms, what awaits.
Washington state poet laureate Tod Marshall:
"Nothing takes flight from me again," a speaker in one of Cartwright's poems announces, and the ongoing struggle against Romantic airiness propels this book. And yet: the poems never fully embrace this declaration, never fully abandon the possibility of flight. Which is to say: the poet is smart, funny, and appropriately suspicious of his making. Which is to say: the poems in this book challenge, entertain, and compel readers to think and rethink expectations (of the poems, poet, and poetry). There are sonically snap-chatty moments blisteringly aware of their sonic smirky-ness: "Still, I is shrill. / I flits in this, / pissing blight. / I is birthright." There are imagistic and tender moments abashedly peeping from the pages. And oh, did I mention that there are wacky and memorable illustrations, bizzaro voices, and formal dexterity to boot? There are also no easy solutions to the tensions Cartwright explores; just "because we're bored down here" and good things "take a little bit of time" should we abandon the possibility of "flight?" As the title of the collection suggests, these poems resonate after their departure: what more can one ask of a work of art?

All We Can Hold, poems of motherhood
Collecting the work of over 100 poets from around the world, All We Can Hold is an honest and beautiful exploration of the language of motherhood from a variety of voices and experiences. Poets tackle the joys and the struggles of mothering through poems that address pregnancy, post-partum depression, puberty, the loss of a child, and watching a child grow.
All We Can Hold comes from a desire to read more poetry about motherhood and to provide a forum for those voices. What began as a search for poetry celebrating motherhood in its entirety became a movement, reaching thousands of poets and spurring an online publication of All We Can Hold with additional poetry following the printed release.
The collection is edited by Elise Gregory, Emily Gwinn, Kaleen McCandless, Kate Maude, and Laura Walker and features work from Dorianne Laux, Beth Ann Fennelly, Malena Morling, Laura Kasishke, Karen Craigo, Katie Ford, Martha Silano, Maya Jewell Zeller, Ellen Welcker, Sherman Alexie, Joyce Sutphen, Freya Manfred, Rachel Zucker, and an introduction from Jennifer K. Sweeney.

Railtown Almanac: a Spokane prose anthology
Flying above Spokane it's easy to think: So that's it? That's the small place where I work and love people and walk around and mow my lawn. When you zoom far enough away, it does look pretty in a way, but it also doesn't really look real.
Zoomed far enough away, you can't see the ugly stuff. The petty thieveries and the various segregations and the over-full hospitals or the lump of fear that a person feels walking downtown at night. We might feel more comfortable when those things fade out of view, but we aren't convinced that's Spokane at its best.
For this collection we weren't interested in an aerial view of Spokane, a Spokane where the bad swept into the cracks gets swallowed up to maintain a nice smooth surface. Nor one in which the trash-eating goat in beautiful Riverfront Park exists without the trash. We wanted to know what a place looks like to the people who love it, sometimes grudgingly.
What we've learned is that from the ground level, Spokane isn't underwhelming or quaint at all. It's complex, sometimes skeptical, and often difficult.
Editors Jeffrey G. Dodd and Kate J. Reed
Railtown Almanac celebrates the incredible wealth of talent in the Spokane area. Collecting the work of writers ranging from established award-winners to talented middle-schoolers, this anthology will serve as a way-marker in the rich history of the Spokane writing community.
Featuring short fiction and essays by Kris Dinnison, Sam Ligon, Shann Ray, Sharma Shields, Rachel Toor, Nance Van Winckel, and others.

Kill February, by Jeffrey Tucker
This book was selected by poet Kevin Goodan. Here is his introduction to the book, which you can purchase here.
If T.S. Eliot were writing today, he might well feel that his maxim "April is the cruelest month" no longer holds sway in a world increasingly augmented by human-created climate change. He might simply, and emphatically blurt out "Kill February", as Jeffery Tucker has so poignantly and aptly titled his new book, which I have carried with me in my own engagements with landscape and weather driving from Idaho to Cape Cod in the wake of yet another tragic storm system. More and more we are beginning to mark changes in our lives by the occurrences of significant and tragic weather events. Post-Katrina, Post-Sandy and similar post-event terms are becoming part of our lexicon and indeed part of how we govern ourselves.
And now, as I write this, the drought-stricken West is beginning to experience what will be a monumental wildfire season, given what the primary indicators predict. Just recently, archaeologists have determined that America's oldest civilization, the Caral, met its demise some 4,000 years ago in part due to climate change, more precisely because of severe, extended droughts. Our situation has a lot of people asking "how do we survive? And "will we survive"? Certainly, in North Idaho, these questions have ushered forth a thriving survivalist mentality. I have neighbors who've taken me down into their newly constructed bunkers. I have seen the stockpiles of ammunition and firearms. These people are prepared for the end of times. If Homo Sapiens are to go extinct, these neighbors of mine are going to make sure it is a bloody, brutal, fought out conclusion. If they live that long. What about the rest of us?
What Jeffery Tucker's book of poems provides us with, in the face of an increasingly volatile environment is a focus on now. How do we best live now (which is truly the only thing we are granted) even while we are observant, and in acknowledgment of the storms, the devastations that happen in seemingly quicker successions, both ecological, and personal? These moments become the locus of memory as in the opening poem "Tropical Storm Frank":
At eight, my sister's friend fell in the back yard.
I pulled our fleabag dog off her, and ten years later
She drove off an overpass, but it was an open-casket funeral
The storms often become the backdrop, the canvas, to the storms of our lives, but not always. Tucker integrates the human with the larger primal forces of the world, as in the poem "Priming":
Two Miles
Up Chapman Avenue, the fault line widens its hillside smile
More every year. And that hill, shagged in sage
And awaiting sparks. One burn season, my father says
Flames will find gas lines and we'll burn to the beach.
Even if it is only a matter of time, we still have now, and now includes the people we hold dear. That is the hope, Tucker assures us, even as the environment severely shapes us (and we it). Take, for instance, the moment of confronting the fear of so common an occurrence in certain parts of the country, in "Early Summer, Hattiesburg":
An hour later, the tornado past, no trees split, no deaths,
Not a home upended, it was still with me—
Not the reedy wind or the red radar-amoeba on the phone,
But my cry: "My wife."
Oh, that primal fear of loss echoes through these poems. I am reminded of the plaster casts of a man and woman who died in each other's arms in the volcanic blast that buried Pompeii at lunch time on the 24th of August 79 AD. These lives have become artifacts of the moment, containing both the personal and ecological. Kill February is one of those lasting testaments to how we lived and how we cared, and how we passed on. Tucker's voice is one that comes to us beyond the constraints of time as sharp and clear as the details on the man and woman's plaster faces.
Tonight, as I witness the double-star moment of Venus and Jupiter for the first time in 2000 years, I consider the fleeting auguries that are being derived of it. And yet, given the evidence that Tucker so hauntingly, so bitingly provides, we must embrace our only world, our only possible lives, our now: "Paradise?" he knowingly asks. "Look around. It's vicious out here."

What a crowning act of a woman's femininity, motherhood is! It manifests the evidence of her biological capability and implies fulfillment of her maternal desires. It also gives her an opportunity for the projection of her influence and herself to the community.
To live healthy is bliss for mothers-to-be and it assures the welfare of their children even upto three or four months before conception. There is an increase in the size and weight of the uterus, the breasts and certain muscles during pregnancy in addition to the growing fetus, the enlarging placenta, the expanding membranes and the increasing amniotic fluid – an increase which normally disappears after the pregnancy is completed. If you are one of the blessed expectant mothers, you need to gain weight during your pregnancy and the amount you will need to put on will differ based on your weight initially.
How much weight to gain during pregnancy and what other things should a future mother take care of? The answer can be determined by the amount of your nutritional diet and exercise. Increase in weight is associated with increase of difficulty during childbirth and possibly, an oversize baby. and Further, your weight is not likely to return quickly to its normal level. Weight problems during pregnancy can hinder with the normal development of the baby. Hence, weighing too low and too much, both should be avoided.
In 1977, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommended that an expectant mother should gain 22-26 pounds during pregnancy and recently a new guidelines states that pregnancy weight gain can be 25-35 pounds. Both limits are anyway in normal range of weight gain for a pregnant woman. It is no doubt, essential to monitor weight increase but it should be done gradually from first twelve weeks counting a gain of a pound in a week.
Every pregnant mother should be watchful of her diet. What you eat determines the supply of nutrients for two individuals: you and your precious baby. The unborn child, growing rapidly during the middle part of the pregnancy period, requires all the nutritional elements, particularly protein, vitamins, calcium and iron. Some women are diagnosed with diabetes during pregnancy which is known as gestational diabetes. In case you find yourself in such a situation, you should follow a special gestational diabetes diet plan.
A health practitioner can provide you with a proper diet comprising of the necessary foods, so you can watch carefully how much weight to gain during pregnancy. They can advise you how to avoid confectionary, highly spiced foods, fatty foods and sweetened drinks. A capsule of daily multi-vitamin and proportioned amount of daily milk is good for calcium while iron can be obtained in fresh salads.
Given below is an indicative list of nutritional plan to follow:
- Protein foods
- Whole-grain and enriched flour products
- Leafy green vegetables
- Yellow vegetables
- Citrus and other fruits
- Dairy products
- Moderated oils and fats
The above nutritional plan is just a guideline to follow, but if you come across any abnormal weight gain, don't panic. Make sure you talk this matter over with your health care provider and follow their advice. Always inculcate in your mind that the most important thing is the precious life inside of you, so be cheerful and active. Eat right and avoid stress. Remember the guidelines on how much weight to gain during your pregnancy until you and your baby emerge victorious.

1. Be selective this year – especially with fast fashion. For those of you that do not know what "fast fashion" is, it's the very affordable trendy stores that will take a runway look and recreate it with less expensive materials. Fast fashion is great if you are looking to wear a quick turnover trend, but the quality of the item matters. It's not worth it to purchase something that will only last one or two washes. Stay away from acrylics and polyester blends.
Quality of your closet is far more important than quantity.
- Feel the fabric, look closely at the stitching and read what the piece is made out of. Cotton, wool, cashmere and linen are good quality fabrics.
- While being selective, make it a rule for yourself to always TRY IT ON.
- Spend the extra 10 minutes in the fitting room before you spend the money, take it home, hate it and have to return it.
- If it doesn't fit right, don't buy it. An item can look entirely different on and off the hanger
A shopping rule to live by this year: if you won't wear it that day or night, don't buy it! Live in the present!
2. Declutter and reassess your closet!
- This is my favorite resolution! This year, I'm trying the backwards hanger trick: Turn all of your hangers backwards in your closet (so the hook is facing you). Go about your days and weeks wearing the clothes you choose. After wearing and washing, hang your clothes normally. Whatever is still hanging backwards at the end of the season has not been worn. TOSS IT! (Well… sell it on Poshmark or consign it.. "toss it" just sounds much more cut throat in this process).
- Another good tip for decluttering your closet is to set limits.
- Have a fixed number of the same type of hangers in your closet. This forces you to get rid of one piece every time you buy something new. My fixed number is 30, and my hanger of choice is the black felt hangers with the swivel top.
- From personal experience, I know that decluttering your closet is MUCH easier said than done. It takes time. Use these tricks over the course of the year and you'll get there, but you MUST have the mentality to declutter.
3. Collect great basics and choose trends wisely.
- Basics are everyday versatile pieces.
- Many fashion editors like to live by the rule of three. If you can wear a piece three different ways or more, it's definitely worth keeping and calling a basic.
- Basics are your investment pieces and vary with different styles.
- Even though basics are the most important part of your closet, we all want to have fun with fashion and follow the trends.
- I've come up with a list of the best, most versatile trends of 2016 to help you get started and stay on top of the trends, without splurging on fast fashion.
The best trends are pieces you can mix, match and layer with your basics…see below.
4. Define your style this year!
- Use these tips and tricks to upgrade your closet and stay organized, but pay attention to what catches your eye.
- My style is constantly evolving. I snap pictures of everything I'm attracted to, from an amazing pair of boots to a beautiful rose garden. This helps me focus in on what I like to easier define my style.
- Remember that your style goes beyond just clothes, it's a collection of what makes you YOU! If your closet truly reflects who you are, it will be a much happier place.
- Create a wardrobe you love and are familiar with.
Make everything in your closet something you like and something you WANT to wear TODAY.
Getting dressed in the morning sets your entire day. Your wardrobe should empower you!
Happy New Year!
xoxo #StyleByV

We've all been placed in the dreaded "Friend Zone', but consider this your last time. This weeks show is about how to get out of the Friend Zone, because let's face it, you'd rather be lovers than BFF's. Emily and Menace give tips about how to create distance, confidence and how to let her or him know that it's a date not a hang out. Menace talks about his time spent in the friend zone and how he got out of it.
Emily and Menace don't miss San Francisco that much, and the share the perks and pitfalls of their nee Los Angeles location. They update the sex in the news with topics about Robin Thick and T.I.'s marriage scandals, "The Real Housewives" criminal charges, what happens when you sue your prostitute, how "Teen Mom" is a great birth control for the younger generation, and the real dangers of having a cellphone (and the rules Menace has to protect himself).

King Solomon Hill US 78 Discography
King Solomon Hill is a pseudonym. Researcher Gayle Dean Wardlow claimed his real name was Joe Holmes, However this has been disputed by others. Big Joe Williams claimed to Bob Koester that he was King Solomon Hill. Blues historian, Sam Charters had published his own idea that bluesman Sam Collins was King Solomon Hill. In fact, many of the "facts" about King Solomon hill are in question and it is a matter of who one believes. The spring 1932 recording date is as per Wardlow through his interview with Hill/Holmes wife. Alex Van Der Tuuk claims the recordings were done during November of 1931. Another source claims January of 1932. For me to give all sides of every statement made about King Solomon Hill would constitute a massive undertaking and far to big an article to appear here. This discography should give the basics, though.
Paramount 13116
Whoopee Blues/Down On My Bended Knee; 1932
King Solomon Hill
(The label credits "King Solomon Hill (Blind Lemon's Buddy)". Both of these recordings are of the first take of these songs. This record was issued contemporaneously with Crown 3325.)
Crown 3325
Whoopee Blues/Down On My Bended Knee; 1932
King Solomon Hill
(The label credits "Down South Boys". Both Of These recordings are of the second take of these songs. This record was issued contemporaneously with Paramount 13116. The Crown recordings were also issued on the Varsity Label [Cat. No. 6010] with slighty changed spelling of the song titles.

Stories of Giantess Goddesses, Tall Amazon Warriors, Giant Women and Shrinking Men
By: Domina Cinara - July 19th, 2011
The realm of this giantess was a lost valley hidden away in a vast mountain range.
Stories told of secret ways into the valley that only her Amazon huntresses knew.
It was from these sacred paths that they would go out into the world…
Hunting down the male prey to be brought back to their giantess goddess.
Goddess of The Amazons – Part II – The Mysterious Tall Woman's Offer
(By: Domina Cinara) …continuing from Part I – Giantess Stories – Goddess of The Amazons.
And so, the day that mysterious woman with the impossibly long legs walked into your mid-town office, your attention was drawn to more than just her amazing body.
She looked like one of those tall women warriors you used to read about in Amazon stories and Sci-fi magazines as a kid… built like something out of a teenage boy's wet dream. All long limbs and sleek muscle with features a supermodel would be jealous of and curves a pornstar would go under the knife to get.
But when she showed you the pictures she had with her, and spoke of the deal she had to offer… all thoughts of her body and how she could use it to please you, were pushed aside. The pictures were of what she called a "lost valley"… an extremely secluded spot, far from any other human life… nestled amongst tall mountain peaks that made it very difficult to get to… a place of untamed beauty, barely touched by man.
All of your dreams of owning your own private world someday came flooding back in an instant. You knew you had to have it… the time had finally come for you to add the greatest of prizes to your ever growing empire. It would be your domain… molded by your hand to fit your desires… and ruled by your will alone. You'd hand pick those who would be brought there to live… never being allowed to leave… existing to serve and obey you, their king.
Sure, the people she represented were asking a ridiculously high price, but you haggled that down to a more realistic amount quick enough. Years of being a ruthless giant of the business world made conquests of this sort too easy. The end cost to you was so low that it should have struck you odd that this beautiful, tall Amazon woman would be willing to drop so far, so fast. But you had become so used to people bending to your will that you just assumed it was your natural superiority and good business sense once again getting you what you wanted.
And besides, that tall Amazon, with the strikingly long legs knew just the right way a woman should always close a business deal… on her knees between your legs, with her mouth sealing the contract.
You never liked to break a sweat during sex, that's why your preferred position was to have the woman on top – after all, shouldn't she be the one serving you and doing all the work? But when this tall Amazon climbed on top of your cock, it felt almost as if she were holding you down and using you, instead of you using her. Must be that she just really wanted the cock of such a powerful man… yeah, that must be it… why else would she have let you orgasm inside of her like that? And if she was one of those who thought getting pregnant would lead to a rich paycheck, she'd be very sorry… the boys were getting very good at kicking lottery tickets out of gold digger tummies.
You had great plans for this "lost valley". Not just a giant mansion to be built, of course not. Your wealth could afford far, far more, and you deserved only the biggest, and the best. No, you'd build a whole compound for yourself, and stock it with the finest of everything… with special attention to the choicest females that you would select to be your property's population. An all girl society dedicated to you and your every fetish desire, with you intending to see that all those desires were filled in most obscenely hedonistic of ways.
And since the place was so secluded, so hard to get to… your female subjects would have to learn to do as they were told, or they would be punished very severely. And if one got broken, she could always be replaced.
(…continued in Part III – Giantess Stories – The Amazon Huntresses Devour Their Prey)
Domina Cinara
Giantess Phone Sex
In the tribe, one of the Amazon women warriors would stand as chief…
If was her duty to keep the stories of the tribe, and make sure their ways were not forgotten.
When it was time for a hunt, she would select the prey and make first contact with it.
Luring it back to be surrounded and taken by the rest of the Amazons…
And finally delivered up to their Giantess Goddess.
Are you a bad little boy in need of punishment?
You're going to be a lot smaller when I get my hands on you.

News Release
Encore! Manchester's choir returns
to Carnegie Hall in spring 2007 –
directed by Dr. Debra Lynn
Manchester College's A Cappella Choir and alumni will return to Carnegie
Hall in spring 2007, with the College's music director, Dr. Debra J.
Lynn, wielding the baton! And, the program again will feature an
original composition by Dr. Debora E. DeWitt, associate professor of
Carnegie Hall is one of the world's premier concert venues. The
80-member Manchester choir will join other choirs for the 200-singer
performance on May 26, 2007, all directed by Lynn, associate professor
of music. The curtain will rise at 8 p.m. on a Saturday night – prime
time for New York City.
Lynn has selected DeWitt's Prayer for Peace, which the A Cappella
Choir sang during its 2004 Peace Tour of the magnificent cathedrals of
Italy and the Vatican. Also on the program is an extended work, The
Peaceable Kingdom, by Randall Thompson. The Manhattan Chamber
Orchestra will accompany.
"Having Prayer for Peace performed
alongside The Peaceable Kingdom is a great honor and very
exciting,' said DeWitt. "I am looking forward to hearing the choral
clusters in Prayer sung by a 200-member ensemble with a
professional string orchestra. I imagine the sound will be crisp and
full – I can't wait to hear it."
Manchester College last took the Carnegie Hall stage in 2001, singing
DeWitt's Parting in a prelude concert and then joining other
choirs for the main event, directed by John Rutter.
"Carnegie is so special because it's a large
hall, but it's fairly shallow, so you really feel the presence of the
audience," said Lynn. "And the acoustics are so amazing – you hear
yourself just as the audience hears you. That's why performers all over
the world love to play and sing at Carnegie Hall."
Students and alumni will pay a fee to participate in the five-day,
four-night New York City residency. The College will charter a bus, and
conduct fund-raisers, Dr. Lynn said. Learn more about music at

Joel McHale and Danny Pudi Would Love to Go South of the Border for Community
"Because our jokes aren't popping here. The jokes aren't popping!"
When Vulture ran into Community stars Joel McHale and Danny Pudi at the NBC upfront party yesterday, both men shrugged off all the hoopla going on around them. "Eating shrimp cocktails and talking to advertisers is what we do every Monday," Pudi said. In fact, they'd both been busy shooting movies: Pudi just filmed a small part in the Seth Rogen–Barbra Streisand comedy My Mother's Curse (though he didn't get to share a scene with Streisand), and McHale is currently shooting Seth MacFarlane's Ted. "I just feel like if I'm not working there's no reason to live," joked McHale. "No, I was so used to not working, and then when finally people started giving me jobs, I was, like, Oh, I'm not going to turn these down." Still, they're keeping tabs on their television show during the summer hiatus: Inspired by Jersey Shore's move to Italy, McHale and Pudi proposed that Community relocate to Juarez, Mexico ("the most dangerous city in the world," McHale noted) for season three, "because our jokes aren't popping here," Pudi said. "It would be paintball vs. real guns ... Chevy [Chase] would be the only one to survive that, somehow. He would negotiate with them and come out alive."

Saturday's Rosena Ranch Circuit Race turned out to be quite a good event. The race allowed our KHS-Maxxis-JLVelo riders and support crew to do what they do best: race a great heads-up, strategic race.
The race course looks fairly simple on paper, but can be quite challenging due to the tight turnaround a couple of short rolling hills and lots of crosswind. To race this race effectively, a rider and his or her team have to be well organized with a solid starting strategy, and be ready to change it all on the fly.
The first lap started off at a steady pace but after just a moment or so the attacks started. The race covered 25 laps on the short 2 mile course in would take about 2 hours to complete at race-pace. This doesn't sound like a long time, but the race usually comes down to just a few riders at the end because of the intensity and aggression of the attacks the riders would launch.
After several attacks went and were recollected on the opening laps, a breakaway was established which quickly gained 30 seconds on the field. The group had 4 riders, one of them being a KHS-Maxxis-JLVelo rider of Duban Sanchez. This situation was decent being 1 in 4 chance of winning out of the breakaway. It was also a good position because we had three of us remaining in the field, ready for the reshuffle and opportunity to go up the road in another move.
With David Santos, Shawn Daurelio and myself being patient in the field, we were able to sit-on and not do work, forcing the other riders to the front if they want to stay in contention for the finish of the race. This put Duban in a good situation not having to work hard in the break. It also allows us in the pack to relax, while our competitors have to work hard if they want to stay in race contention by reeling this breakaway back.
Now if this breakaway is to come back, then we just simply reshuffle and send another one of our riders up the road. This process will continue till the field is too exhausted or uninterested in the chase and once this happens its now time for the rider in the breakaway to figure out how to best play his hand to win while the remaining members of the team in the field setup for a field sprint. In a perfect world, this strategy would happen every time, but we are all well aware that the world is not perfect and neither is a bike race.
In this instance, Duban got a mechanical which took him our of the breakaway. Now that the team did not have a rider up the road, it is a very bad situation because we now needed to work hard to bridge the 30 seconds to the break up the road. Our next move was tough but necessary if we wanted to have a chance to win the race.
Dave, Shawn and I went to the front, riding just hard enough so that we wouldn't blow up, but also make a steady gain on the riders up the road. Putting the whole team at the front looks really cool on TV, but in real-time it is brutally hard because you are towing the whole field at the expense of a huge amount of energy from our riders.
After several laps of consistent efforts, the gap came down to just a small margin. This created the perfect situation for a counter attack, where the field has almost caught the break the pace slows down just a second or so, and someone uses their momentum and launches another attack. This move was deadly because everyone was exhausted. Dave and I were able to join the new group of riders that would become the new breakaway.
We had just spent the last 20 minutes riding the fastest pace possible, and then we had to dig again with an all-out sprint to cross gap, then settle right back to the previous pace with no breaks. The effort spelled the end of the race for about half the field in just a few seconds. After the new breakaway was established with 8 riders, the attacks started again. Having a 1 in 8 odds to win is not very good for anyone, so every rode aggressively to create a smaller group up the road.
At this point, we were halfway through the race and Dave and I were still battling the volley of attacks and counter attacks. Racers began to crack and were unable to cover moves any longer due to extreme fatigue, which separated Dave and I into the two front groups.
With 3 laps to go, and a huge amount of effort in everyones legs, I saw an opportunity to make a move when a single rider made a jump and I followed. Once he had exhausted his sprint, I countered and was able to punch free taking one rider with me. I was able to fight my way into the final move of two of us, which had been the team goal from the beginning. In the finish, I came in 2nd knowing our entire team had exhausted every opportunity for the win. All and all, it was a very successful day for racing for the KHS-Maxxis-JLVelo team and as we prepare to head back East for a large block of racing which promises to provide exciting and challenging opportunities for everyone on the team.

RFC 822, one of the most
famous RFCs, documents the syntax of Internet mail headers. These
headers contain normal, ASCII text that can be written and read
by users. The end of the header is a single, empty line, so
no blank lines are permitted in headers. Lines indented with
whitespace are regarded as continuation lines, so long lines
can be split "between lexical tokens".
Header lines are formated as a field-name, followed by a colon,
followed by field data. No whitespace may appear before the colon,
and some field-names impose additional syntax
requirements on their data fields.
Common header fields are From:, To:, Cc:, Reply-To:, Subject: and Date:
RFC 822's address specification
defines the syntax of an Internet email address. If you can
muddle through the over-conceptionalized spec, you find that

The Schumann Resonances are quasi-standing electromagnetic waves that exist in the Earth's 'electromagnetic' cavity (the space between the surface of the Earth and the Ionosphere). Like waves on a string, they are not present all the time, but have to be 'excited' to be observed. They are not caused by anything internal to the Earth, its crust or its core. They seem to be related to electrical activity in the atmosphere, particularly during times of intense lightning activity.
Depending on your point of view, living beings either evolved in this natural electromagnetic environment or were created with Divine Intelligence to live in harmony with it. One thing is certain: Since life began, the Earth has been surrounding all living things with this natural frequency pulsation. Many experts believe that the wide spectrum of artificial man-made EMF radiation masks the natural beneficial frequency of the Earth. Electropollution may cause us to feel more stressed, fatigued and "out of balance." Laboratory research has shown that exposing living cells to the Schumann Resonance had the effect of "protecting" them from ambient EMFs, allowing the cells to increase their immune protection, and decrease the absorption of depression-inducing chemicals.
Before getting into Planetary Harmonics and Bio-harmonic resonances, let us first explore the octave of visible light, that which the human eye sees, and its relation to sound. The octave of visible light, extending from the color red to the color violet, is forty octaves higher than middle audio octave, that which you would hear on a piano keyboard. Light, however, is measured by its wavelength, whereas sound in measured by its frequency.
Frequency is a measure of how many waves occur in a given moment of time. The most common unit of measure for frequency is the Hertz. One Hertz = one cycle per second. A frequency of 60 Hertz means that there are 60 cycles occurring in one second.
If we were to raise the middle C, which has a frequency of ~523 Hertz, by forty octaves (523 times 2 forty times), we would have a very high frequency of 5.75044581 x 1014 Hertz. That is 575 trillion cycles per second. Because of these unweilding numbers, light is measured by the length of wave (space) rather than how many waves are occurring in a second. A higher frequency means that there are more waves occurring in a given amount of time, thus the waves become shorter as the frequency becomes higher. Thus, Frequency and wavelength have an inverse relationship.
The Schumann Resonances are the result of cosmic energy build-up within the cavity that exists between Earth's highly conductive surface and the conducting layer in the upper atmosphere called the ionosphere.* This creates a world-wide lightning display of broadband electromagnetic impulses that fill this cavity and that act as the stimulus for the cavity to resonate. (This is another example of spatially created harmonic resonances.)
The presence of divinity is amplified as the vibrations of the eternal self resonate in this audio track. The balance of strength and peace is instilled in the listener allowing Light and Love to guide the present experience.

A cat's gender and breed do not always predict the individual's temperament. Keep your options open when deciding upon whether or not to adopt a particular breed or gender.
Pet air travel is a booming business now, given the global economy, the number of housecats, the available vacation options for pets and their people, the growing need to relocate, and more. Luckily, special services are now available to accommodate you and your pet's needs with safer and more individualized help.
You might consider contacting Animal Land Pet Movers, based in Atlanta. You would be assigned a "personal move counselor" who'd work with you to schedule a flight, prepare your pet and even arrange for pick-up to and from the destinations.
You mentioned flying, but depending on where your cat has to go, you might first look into ground transportation for your pet. The company Pets on Board Transport LLC, for example, uses custom vans and RVs to move pets.
If you are still interested in air travel for your cat and would like to make the arrangements yourself, you might look into Pet Airways, which puts traveling cats and dogs in the main cabin and not in the cargo area. Here are a few preparation tips:

1. Jesus gave this gracious promise
Ere from earth He went away,
That in glory He would come again,
Some bright and blessèd day!
Then He bade His true disciples
Go to nations far and near,
Telling them of His salvation
From all sorrow, sin, and fear!
He is coming! Our Lord is coming!
In the clouds of glory He will come again.
All His loved ones then shall meet Him,
And with shouts of joy shall greet Him,
When He come again in majesty to reign!
2. We would hail the glorious dawning
Of that glad celestial day,
When all sorrow, and all sighing,
From the earth shall flee away!
And our hearts are filled with comfort
As we trust, and hope and pray,
That with our departed loved ones
We may reign with Him for aye. [Refrain]
3. O the love that gave the promise
Of that glorious day of days!
O the grace that gives us courage
To lift up our hearts in praise!
Will not fail us, when in glory
With the holy angel band,
He shall come to lead His loved ones
To that happy, heav'nly land. [Refrain]

|Use of the Lambda Red Recombinase System to Rapidly Generate Mutants in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Lesic, Biliana; Rahme, Laurence G.
Note: Order does not necessarily reflect citation order of authors.
|Lesic, Biliana, and Laurence G Rahme. 2008. Use of the lambda Red recombinase system to rapidly generate mutants in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. BMC Molecular Biology 9: 20.
|Full Text & Related Files:
2287187.pdf (540.7Kb; PDF)
|Background: The Red recombinase system of bacteriophage lambda has been used to inactivate chromosomal genes in various bacteria and fungi. The procedure consists of electroporating a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fragment that was obtained with a 1- or 3-step PCR protocol and that carries an antibiotic cassette flanked by a region homologous to the target locus into a strain that expresses the lambda Red recombination system. Results: This system has been modified for use in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Chromosomal DNA deletions of single genes were generated using 3-step PCR products containing flanking regions 400–600 nucleotides (nt) in length that are homologous to the target sequence. A 1-step PCR product with a homologous extension flanking region of only 100 nt was in some cases sufficient to obtain the desired mutant. We further showed that the P. aeruginosa strain PA14 non-redundant transposon library can be used in conjunction with the lambda Red technique to rapidly generate large chromosomal deletions or transfer mutated genes into various PA14 isogenic mutants to create multi-locus knockout mutants. Conclusion: The lambda Red-based technique can be used efficiently to generate mutants in P. aeruginosa. The main advantage of this procedure is its rapidity as mutants can be easily obtained in less than a week if the 3-step PCR procedure is used, or in less than three days if the mutation needs to be transferred from one strain to another.

Many people battle with cocaine addiction. However, we never expect this to happen to famous people. However, drugs don't choose races, genders, ages, or socioeconomic position.
"Snapple Lady" Fights Her Cocaine Addiction
Mostly known as the "Snapple Lady", Wendy Kaufman became known when the became the face of the company in the early 90s. As a mere employee and without any previous experience, she accepted the challenge. And both the business and Wendy turn their lives to the better.
In what concerns to the business, Snapple experienced an amazing sales boom thanks to the national advertisement campaign. But for Wendy, this meant a lot more. Wendy says that she tried cocaine in the early 80s and she liked it. So, she continued to use and she wasn't able to stop. "I started to do cocaine in 1980, right after I graduated college. By 1989, I could press my cheek and blood would come out of my nose. I was so sick that it really did bring me to my knees.", Kaufman says.
After 9 years into addiction, Wendy couldn't bare it anymore. She didn't have anyone to turn to and she was completely desperate. She would rather die than just keep using drugs.
The "Snapple Lady" is the first to admit that this campaign was what she needed to overcome her addiction. "What most people don't know about me [is] Snapple was much more than a job. It was a lifeline and it was a way for me to stay sober," Kaufman says. "And it was a vehicle to do wonderful, nice things for other people."
The fact is that the campaign brought a lot of attention to Wendy. People simply loved her. And she had no idea why as well as she could not be sadder because she had wasted almost 10 years with her cocaine addiction.
Wendy re-evaluated all her life and in 2008, she decided to leave Snapple. It wasn't easy to let go of the "Snapple Lady" but, as she says, "I had to embrace that the personal part of me was far greater than the Snapple persona and that it was time to move on."
Currently living in Massachusetts, Wendy is writing a book about the time when she was the "Snapple Lady". She also helps her husband with his furniture business, an old college friend that she reconnected with after the advertisement. They have been married since 2004.

"It would be a long while because, quite simply, I was in love with [the city]. I do not mean "love" in any colloquial way, I mean that I was in love with the city, the way you love the first person who ever touches you and you never love anyone quite that way again." -Joan Didion
There's something I've been trying to figure out for the past 10 years or so–ever since I left my first year of summer camp in North Carolina–and is this question of how to be present in one place when your heart is so fully entrenched in another. How can I be present to the moment and and place in front of me while still honoring what has affected me deeply? Last year, this was a constant struggle in Boston, and this year, I am facing the same problem but in reverse this time.
Somewhere along the way, I've picked up this image of leaving pieces of my heart in the places that I've loved, that have felt like home. Some of these places are unspeakably grand and famous–St. Peter's Square, for instance–while others are much more humble: my grandparent's lake, my family's farm, the football field I spent so many Friday nights at back in high school.
As happy and grateful as I am to be back in Missouri, I feel different here… I am not always as willing to make mistakes. This place is mine because I grew up here, first in my hometown for 18 years and then at college. They belong to me because of choices that were not mine to make (well, I did choose SLU, but less so). They belong to me in an effortless sort of way, my default almost. This doesn't diminish the love that I feel for them at all, but it's a different kind of love.
Rome was my choice. Boston was my choice. They belong to me because I made them mine. I chose them–and they choose me. I pulled out maps and took it upon myself to explore new neighborhoods. I found my favorite places and spaces not because I always knew them, but because I discovered them.
Last year, I belonged in Boston. That is a certainty in my life full of questions. And while I still have my moments where I wonder why I ever left, my heart and my head knows it was the right choice. Even though, for awhile after leaving, I didn't feel like I belonged anywhere.
St. Louis will always have a place in my heart as the first city I ever called home, the first city I ever loved as mine. For that reason, it will always have a sense of comfort to me, the sense of "I knew you when you were just becoming who you are. My love has shaped you in a different way than any other." They say you never get over your first love–maybe cities are that way, too.
(Also, if St. Louis is my first love, my hometown is the next store neighbor, who you grow up with. Practically speaking, they should fit you because of all of your history, but they ultimately just end up being the wrong fit, as your lives grow in different directions. While I still love that little town, it's not where I belong anymore.)
And then came Rome. Rome was a brief, passionate love affair that I knew from the beginning would never last, but savored every moment all the same. It's the intoxicating feeling you can't drag yourself away from, free falling and loving every second of it. Leaving them is over-dramatic and irrational, and you almost have to be pulled away kicking and screaming because you can hardly bear the thought of life afterward. Walking away feels like something you might never get over, but after you've gone, you've left, and it's done, you smile and treasure every moment with nothing but the fondest memories.
And Boston? I think Boston was the first city I ever learned to love in an adult–a mixture of all of the love that came before. The comfort and ease of St. Louis with a dash of the passion of Rome, and the sense of belonging that I can't quite put my finger on. I don't know when I felt that for the first time. It was fast, but it wasn't dramatic. It was just natural, effortless, matter of fact. Like, of course I'm in love with Boston, of course I fit here, hasn't it always been that way? Boston felt real in a way that Rome never could. While leaving Boston was easily one of the most emotional things I've ever done, it was not like leaving Rome.
Leaving Boston was like a progression into adulthood–still very difficult, but also resigned. Because by that point, I knew that for me, it was absolutely what I needed to do. Boston taught me how to love people well, as an adult; and ultimately, that love meant learning when to walk away even when everything looks perfect, if you know in your heart of hearts that it isn't quite right for you. And maybe it's just a simple matter of bad timing. Or distance. Or the first love beckoning you back in the distance. Or a combination of all of the above.
I'm still trying to figure that out.
But in the meantime, here I am back in St. Louis, learning to love this city and make it mine in a way that I never could in college because so much of surroundings were chosen for me. Even though I'm still only a few minutes away from SLU's campus, it feels different knowing that I chose this neighborhood, I chose my coffee shops (and chocolate shops) to frequent, and I can go beyond the SLU bubble (although I rarely make it beyond the South City bubble these days, let's be honest). I'm relearning this love, and I think St. Louis and I are better together now because of the distance than we would have been otherwise.
Maybe this love can grow and develop into something completely different; I think it's already on it's way to doing so. While leaving St. Louis is never easy, I keep coming back again and again because somehow it finds ways to grow with me. That ability to keep growing with me? That might make it my forever.
Or maybe someday again, the timing will be right for Boston, and I'll get to relearn Boston as an FJV. Or maybe another city will sneak it's way onto this list; jump right in and surprise me.
I'm just learning to live in love, no matter where I am.

After 7 Negative Pregnancy Tests Doctors Finally Discover Huge Tumor!
This is such a scary story! Louise Bryant was 26 when she first started feeling some sharp stomach pains and began to experience some bleeding between periods. Clearly worried she decided to take a pregnancy test to rule that out and it came back negative.
Because she was still worried and experiencing other symptoms like difficulty breathing she decided to get a medical opinion and went to the doctor. Over a 12 week period she was given 7 pregnancy tests over a 12 week period to rule out pregnancy until they finally discovered a tumor the size of a soccer ball covering her ovary! Wow!
Louise told the DailyMail ;
'There was something in my stomach all along, but it certainly wasn't a baby. It was a tumour the size of a small football.
'The tumour was pressing on my lungs and causing me to have difficulty breathing.
'When I look back, all the symptoms I had are typical of ovarian cancer and I'm glad I was persistent and kept going back to doctors for answers.'
'I was 110 per cent positive that I was not pregnant, but I was repeatedly asked to do more tests.
Finally, after a 4 hour surgery, the tumor was removed and Louise discovered that she had ovarian cancer! After almost a year after she first developed the symptoms Louise is cancer free and hoping to one day start a family with her husband.

British Airways yesterday said it was selling its 18.25pc stake in Australian airline Qantas for not less than £425m to build up its firepower for acquiring European carriers.
Rod Eddington, BA chief executive, said he would use the proceeds, enhanced by a £12m final dividend from Qantas, to pay down BA's £3.8 billion net debt and strengthen its balance sheet.
"A strong balance sheet will place BA in a robust position for any future European consolidation," Mr Eddington said. His comments triggered an early flurry in the shares of Spanish airline Iberia, in which BA has a 9pc stake, forcing Mr Eddington to clarify his intentions.
"Nothing is about to happen with Iberia. I don't think BA and Iberia can do anything until there is an EU/US open skies deal," he said, while adding that Iberia remained a "key player for us".
BA shares fell 7.25 to 228.75p; Iberia's closed up 2 cents at 2.32.
Neither, he said, was he working on any other deal. "Nothing is imminent. I don't have something that's just about to be hatched."
BA acquired a 25pc stake in Qantas in 1993 for £304m, since when it has taken out £234m in dividends. BA allowed the stake to be diluted by not taking up its rights in Qantas cash-calls.
Analysts questioned the timing of the stake sale, which is being handled by Citigroup. One said: "BA held it through 9/11 and Sars. If they need the cash now, they can't be too confident about the market."
Mr Eddington said the timing had been influenced by recent draft approval from Australian regulators for a five-year extension of BA's joint-service agreement (JSA) with Qantas on the "kangaroo routes" out of Australia. The two carriers now co-operate on routes between Australia, south east Asia, Britain and Europe.
He said he had agreed with Geoff Dixon, Qantas chief executive, that "the shareholding is not necessary to underpin the JSA. I believe the cash is much better tied up in our business than in a minority stake in someone else's," Mr Eddington said.
"I would prefer to have the cash back now rather than have a deal in front of me in six to 12 months' time, go to sell our Qantas stake and have the investment bankers skin you."
He believed any European consolidation "will happen in a 12 to 24 months time span" and expected the European Union to agree an open skies deal with America "next year".
Analysts said BA could have got more for the stake in 2002 when the shares touched A$4.82 against yesterday's suspension price of $3.33. The placing has been underwritten at A$3.24.
"We could have got less for it too, Mr Eddington said. "I'm not in the business of trying to hit a share price's absolute peak." He said the proceeds "will get us halfway" to cutting net debt to £3 billion. BA has £5.6 billion gross debts.
Chris Avery, an analyst at JP Morgan, said the Qantas stake sale highlighted BA's "renewed concentration on debt reduction. We are now deleting our assumption of a dividend at the end of the current fiscal year".
Mr Eddington said any decision on the dividend depended more on "the robustness of the business, cash flows and the state of the market".
He declined to be drawn on speculation that senior executives could be fired over last month's chaos at Heathrow. "I said I would do a review of what happened and I'm doing that," Mr Eddington said, adding: "I'm going to tell the board first."
