Civic Engagement Across the Curriculum
A Resource Book for Service - Learning Faculty in All Disciplines
Richard M. Battistoni PhD
Civic Education Across the Curriculum
offers faculty in all disciplines rationales and resources for connecting their service-learning efforts to the broader goals of civic engagement. Campuses promoting engagement are beginning to tie service-learning practices to their civic mission of preparing students for participation in a diverse, democratic society. There are, however, few resources for faculty—especially those in fields not traditionally linked with civic education—to think about how civic engagement might be incorporated into their own disciplinary perspectives and course goals. This volume distills a wide range of disciplinary perspectives on citizenship into usable conceptual frameworks. It provides concrete examples of course materials, exercises, and assignments that can be used in service-learning courses to develop students' civic capacities, regardless of disciplinary area. This volume will assist faculty in their own curricular work as well as enable them to combine their individual initiatives with others across their campus.

This handbook is designed to help departments develop strategies for including community-based work in their teaching and scholarship, making community-based experiences a standard expectation for majors, and encouraging civic engagement and progressive change at the departmental level. It acts as both a resource and a curriculum, assisting others in replicating the Engaged Department Institutes offered nationwide by Campus Compact. The toolkit comes with a CD-ROM with key information from the text as well as PowerPoint slides and sample documents that can be adapted to meet the needs of individual departments.

Experiencing Citizenship
Concepts and Models for Service-Learning in Political Science
Edited by
Richard M. Battistoni PhD
William E. Hudson
This practical guide is intended for faculty and service-learning directors, combining the how-to information and rigorous intellectual framework that teachers seek. What distinguishes this volume is that the contributors are writing for their peers. They discuss how service-learning can be implemented within political science and what this discipline contributes to the pedagogy of service-learning. The book offers both theoretical background and practical pedagogical chapters which describe the design, implementation, and outcomes of political science service-learning programs, as well as annotated bibliographies, program descriptions and course syllabi.

Love on A Deadline
An August Wedding StoryeBook - 2015
They've helped orchestrate the perfect day for countless couples. Now twelve new couples will find themselves in the wedding spotlight in the second Year of Weddings novella collection.
MacKenzie thought writing wedding stories was beneath her journalistic abilities. Until one love story rekindled an old flame and opened her heart to love once more.
MacKenzie "Mac" Davis left her hometown of Red Leaf, Wisconsin, ten years ago, and she never looked back. But when her father, beloved Coach Davis, suffers a mild heart attack, she returns home for an extended visit. It means taking a job at the local newspaper, where the biggest news story is the return of Hollis Channing to marry her celebrity fiancé, but Mac would do anything to make sure her dad takes care of himself. She just didn't know that would include spending extended time with her high school crush, Ethan Channing, brother of the bride and the boy who broke her heart.
When Ethan Channing offered to help his sister plan her fast wedding, he had no idea what a big production it would be. Nor what a dilapidated state their old family home would be in. But when he catches Mac trying to take pictures of the house for an article she's writing, he ropes her in to helping him. It's hard to believe the tomboy coach's daughter he remembers from high school has turned into this beautiful fire ball of a woman. And he has to admit he doesn't mind needing her help in planning the wedding of a lifetime.
It's been ten years since they've seen each other. And ten years is a long time. But is it long enough to repair broken hearts and turn old high school crushes into love?

Rokossovsky, Konstantin
Konstantin Rokossovsky (kənstəntyēn´ rŏkŏs-sôf´skē), 1896–1968, Soviet general, b. Warsaw. He entered the czarist army and in 1917 joined the Bolshevik forces in the Russian Revolution. Purged in 1937, he was rehabilitated in 1940. In World War II he distinguished himself at Moscow, Stalingrad (later Volgograd), and Kursk and became (1943) commander on the central front. His armies stood by without aiding the tragic Warsaw uprising of 1944 against the Germans. In 1949, Rokossovsky was made commander in chief and minister of defense of Poland and from 1952 he was deputy prime minister; in this capacity he was an important symbol of Soviet influence in Poland. After the assertion of Polish nationalism under Gomułka as leader of the Polish Communist party in 1956, Rokossovsky resigned and was recalled to the Soviet Union. From 1956 to 1958 he twice served as Russian deputy minister of defense.

When I woke up on Tuesday morning in my Toronto hotel room, the TV was still on. Basketball highlights were playing, and it was raining. Nothing felt too different, but of course it all was. I mean, a large Conservative majority, the NDP with more than 100 seats and yet technically less powerful than before. Different. Not to mention the Liberals, who could be seen standing in the middle of the street here and there, motionless, with immovable, thousand-yard stares chiselled into their faces like some Tommy hauled back from the front lines at the Somme. The horror, the horror, etc.
It all happened so fast, I realized, as my fork hovered over some luke-warm scrambled fake eggs from the buffet counter about a half hour later, that I didn't even get to do a wrap-up of the viral election thingy. That project I took on at the end of March with the words, "I probably won't even have to do one every day," never had any closure. Damn, I thought, as I paid the bill. Breakfast in Toronto is expensive.
And damn, too, I suppose, that we never really had a best-of and worst-of, or Top 10, or some other kind of familiar ranking format to send us off into this stable blue yonder.
Well, so much for all of that.
I settled on the best-of and worst-of format, even though really, most of it falls into the 'worst' category pretty easily.
As a side note, the viral round up will be back every Friday (that's today!) with a recap of the week's highlights from Twitter and around the web. Don't fear: Your procrastination material is still here.
The Best:
Vintage Voter
Yep, basically the best thing that came out of this election, meme-wise. Throwback shots of the leaders: a concept so simple, it's actually genuinely surprising nobody thought of it before. There really was something a bit fantastic about seeing Stephen Harper as a young, idealistic Reformer posed awkwardly by campaign paraphernalia:
Such a refreshing change from today's older idealistic Stephen Harper who just wears it in jacket form for every single day of his life. I do the same thing with iPolitics stickers, which I've fashioned into a cape.
Anyway, if you didn't get a chance to check out VintageVoter, do so now.
Angry Bairds
After he lost the race for governor of California, Richard Nixon famously told reporters that they wouldn't have him "to kick around anymore."
John Baird ended up being re-elected in Ottawa West-Nepean, so one could presume that reporters — and everyone else — will have him to kick around a bit longer. Or maybe we could just sling him.
I don't know how many people ended up seeing this, as it came out on the last weekend of the campaign, but it's amusing. Effectively, Angry Bairds is just like the iPhone/iPad app game, Angry Birds, but of course, you get to sling around a chattering John Baird, freshly loaded into a giant slingshot, ready to be launched at a house built from things like universal health care and the civil service.
Hardly subtle, really. But given that it was the brainchild of the Young Liberals, we were never going to be in subtle territory. Still, it was creative.
Helena Guergis crying mash-up
I know, I know, this was just really uncomfortable, but one of the glories of the Internet is that no matter what happens, no matter what you see, you can almost be guaranteed that within a few minutes (at most a day) someone, somewhere will have taken that footage and done one of three things with it:
1. Made an endlessly repeating gif.
2. Dub-step remix.
3. Mashup.
And so, of course, on the morning that Helena Guergis revealed to the media that all those charges lobbed against her all those days ago were baseless, you could almost feel the Canadian Internet trolls breathe in collectively, preparing themselves for the potential inherent in the footage now beaming from their television screens.
With that in mind, I really would have liked a remix as well. But I suppose given Guergis' eventual proportion of the vote, one out of three is appropriate.
The worst:
I don't think it would be worth anyone's time for me to post every video that I couldn't stand from this election period and reiterate why it each was annoying, because we just don't have enough time. But there were some notable failures:
Don't Vote For Mean People:
At the time, I pointed out that this video is five minutes, and it appears on the Internet, which seems pretty obvious until you start to think about what five minutes on the Internet means. It means that, generally, the video should not be an amateur rap about politics filmed with a handy-cam and featuring a handful of bystanders who look more like they came for the free pizza than to express their support for lyrical political rhyming. It also means that in five minutes, you'd have better given me a cat fighting with a printer or awkward resurrected footage from an '80s television advertisement, or I'm walking.
Crowdsourcing the election?
I already had quite a bit to say about this video, and the concept (see here), but I neglected to mention that an advertising executive conceived this whole thing.
What that essentially means is that the idea of having people build a specific online profile consisting of those things that are most important to them is actually a very smart way of selling targeted advertising. It's a marketing exercise wrapped in do-gooder activism, and rings about as true as a cardboard box.
This thing:
Sigh. I don't know. This is the future (?)
Ignatieff the American (redux)
One of the more annoying flash-in-the-pan stories during this election cycle was one about Michael Ignatieff having voted in the 2004 U.S. election. Not only did it not matter, but there was hardly any proof of it. So that was bad enough. Worse, though, were the annoying attempts by partisans to push the story into viral territory in the hopes that it would double back on itself and start driving the news coverage. Or something.
The prime instigator of this offline was the Sun's Brian Lilley, who wrote a story on it. Online, however, it was pressed on the Twitterverse by Jason Lietaer of Ensight Canada, who was once executive director of the Conservative Research Group.
He noted that the Ignatieff-as-American-voter story was picked up by the U.S. blog Big Government, a site that belongs to Andrew Breitbart.
Anyway, Politico's Ben Smith, who admitted he could find no evidence of Ignatieff having ever actually voted for John Kerry, also noted the story.
Not like that detail mattered. Conservative spokesman Dimitri Soudas tweeted a link to Smith's post:
At the time I noted that even a country that's been arguing over the president's birth certificate for years wasn't buying this tale, so enough was probably enough. Little did I know that Obama was about to actually present his long-form birth certificate (by the way, how helpful are long-form things?). In retrospect, that comment still seems applicable, though.
Even more annoying, however, looking back, isn't just the shameless desire to have something noticed by the Americans. It was the overall crassness of it. Was anyone embarrassed by the fact that the more reputable of the two actually dismissed it entirely? Nope, because the information was out there, festering, and hopefully convincing one more voter of its alleged truth by virtue of its longevity.
That's what's so awful about this kind of thing: the attempt at legitimization through association, and if that doesn't happen, then through pure existence. It basically sums up what's wrong with most information available on the Internet. And proving that point as a spokesman for the government is not something to be proud of.
There were other instances like this during the campaign. One in particular comes to mind. At one point Stephen Taylor of the National Citizens Coalition, tried to (did) get people talking about the fact that Michael Ignatieff's wife, Suzanna Zsohar, isn't a Canadian, by saying that nobody should talk about it. That is, Taylor took false moral high ground to spread a negative message.
That ad
Speaking of pressing things on Americans, in a campaign driven by ads, this one took the cake. Below: why it was annoying.
As everyone pointed out at the time, it was very similar to an ad put out by U.S. politician Tim Pawlenty. Lucas Baiano, a 22-year old Canadian-born filmmaker, made that one. At the moment, it's unknown whether Baiano made the Harper video, too, but the overall theme led me to say this:
It's no surprise – to me, anyway – that a fellow Gen-Y'er is making political ads with abstracted visual images and glorious rhetoric that are fundamentally lacking in any substance. The U.S. ads above are a postmodern dream (or nightmare) imagined by a member of a generation that is inherently obsessed with the signified and totally disinterested in the signifier. By its mimicry alone, so too is the Conservative ad. It's Modern Hipster Aesthetic Does Politics, and its emptiness is scary.
Everything from the disjointed, re-contextualized archival footage, to the sweeping stereotypical natural vistas, to the gritty faux-vintage filters, makes it a cultural mash-up from hell – an emulsified narrative paste for a forgetful, impatient, dehistoricized mob searching for the next best thing only if it's exactly the same as the last. Even the voice is disembodied. Instead of voting for a politician, we vote for a soundtrack.
It's an ideological wasteland, a cultural dead-end, a soft cynical Hollywood fantasy pill for the lazy-brained sponges that seep out votes into a cardboard box whenever necessary.
It is neither the stuff of dreams nor is it reality. It is instead the hyperreal, imposing itself (again) on politics. It's nothing new really, but it's worth noting when it's this obvious. Proceed with caution.
So there you have it. Now, let's move on.

Labiaplasty & Vaginal Rejuvenation
We all deserve to feel good about our bodies and ourselves. Discussing your concerns about sensitive areas may be slightly embarrassing or uncomfortable, but the end result is worth it. Dr. Brian C. Reuben performs vaginal rejuvenation and labiaplasty to help women from Murray, Sandy, and Salt Lake City, UT, restore their confidence by reshaping the labia to a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing size and shape.
Dr. Reuben can help.
If you're ready to learn more about labiaplasty and vaginal rejuvenation and how it can improve your life, request a consultation online or call our office at (801) 747-2273. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Brian C. Reuben and his staff are eager to meet you and help you on your aesthetic journey.
WARNING: This feature contains nudity. Please click OK to confirm you are at least 18 years of age and are not offended by such material.
Before & After Photos
Individual results may vary.
This lady is 5'1. After having three children, she decided to have a labiaplasty. This patient did the procedure under local anesthetic and the post picture was taken 2 months following the procedure.
Labiaplasty & Vaginal Rejuvenation Candidates
The women who visit Dr. Reuben for labiaplasty and vaginal rejuvenation in Midvale from South and West Jordan and other nearby communities typically want to:
- Reduce the size of enlarged labia
- Improve sexual self-esteem
- Repair damage caused by childbirth or aging
- Create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance
With Dr. Reuben, you can feel comfortable and at ease. He will meet with you for a personal consultation to discuss your options and determine if you are a candidate for the procedure. He understands that this is a very personal and sensitive topic, and he will help you on your journey to achieve your cosmetic goals.
The Dr. Reuben Difference
I think every woman
deserves to feel confident
about her body.
- Dr. Reuben
To begin your procedure, Dr. Reuben will create the necessary incisions. He will then remove excess tissue and skin from the labia and sculpt it into its new shape. In general, this procedure is relatively quick and straightforward. Once the labia has been shortened and contoured, Dr. Reuben will close your incisions using sutures, and you can begin the recovery process.
If you are a candidate, Dr. Reuben can combine your labiaplasty with another body contouring procedure such as a tummy tuck or liposuction for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. This procedure may be performed as part of a mommy makeover.
What to Expect Afterward
After your vaginal rejuvenation procedure, you may experience moderate discomfort and swelling for a few days. While experiences vary, most women can resume normal, everyday activities after about 5 days and strenuous exercise after 2 or 3 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the risks and complications?
As with all surgeries, labiaplasty and vaginal rejuvenation come with some risks, although they occur very rarely. These include bleeding, infection, and scarring, but they are minimized with an experienced and qualified surgeon such as Dr. Reuben. The risks involved during childbirth are much more likely to affect this area of the body than labiaplasty or vaginal rejuvenation.
Will labiaplasty or vaginal rejuvenation affect my sexual satisfaction?
Dr. Reuben is very careful when handling the delicate tissues involved during these procedures to ensure there is no damage to nerves or sensation. Most women find their sexual satisfaction is actually enhanced after labiaplasty or vaginal rejuvenation as they feel more comfortable and confident.
Will it hurt?
Although these procedures affect very sensitive tissues, most women experience only mild discomfort. You will have stronger medications to help you manage any pain in the first couple of days after surgery. Most discomfort will fade quickly over the next week and should be easily manageable with over-the-counter medication.

iSoccer Publishes The 2010 National Standards Project Report
The National Standards Project is a multi-year initiative to raise the technical level of youth players in the United States. The resulting National Standards will be the benchmark against which future player development will be measured at both the national and individual player level.
Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for a copy of the full report for free!
Download the National Standards Project Exec Summary
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19 — iSoccer, the leader in technical assessment and online soccer training software, released the first annual National Standards Project report at the 2011 NSCAA Convention. The National Standards Project is a multi-year initiative to measure, analyze and raise the technical level of US youth soccer players ages 6 to 18.
"This was a very successful first year. With the support of our partners, the NSCAA and US Club Soccer, we were able to collect data from all 50 states and from all age groups. Our 2010 goal was to create an initial baseline for technical ability in the United States and we accomplished that. As we move into 2011, we very excited about the second phase of this Project and the growing movement to raise the technical level of players across the country," stated Scott Leber, Founder and CEO of iSoccer.
The Project borrows from proven academic methodologies by implementing standardized assessment, evaluation, and development metrics. Standardized data provides players, coaches, clubs and soccer governing bodies with a way to measure and compare long-term improvement on a macro and micro level.
For the 2011 National Standards Project, iSoccer will continue to collect data from an ever growing number of players, coaches, clubs and youth soccer organizations. As a new feature, club directors, coaches, parents and players will have the opportunity to share their observations and feedback. Adding more standardized data to a growing assessment database will enable us to analyze the technical level of soccer in the United States both qualitatively and quantitatively. The more coaches and players that record assessment results regularly and share their observations, the more valuable the National Standards Project will become.
In its first year, iSoccer collected over 250,000 assessments for the National Standards Project and plans to double that number for 2011. Coaches are invited to participate by assessing their teams and uploading their results for free.

I've had such a boring few days that I think I've bored myself into a near catatonic state.
At the end of the last week I could feel a cold coming on and I was pretty annoyed about it - mainly because it would impede my exercising plans. I went to the gym on Thursday as I wasn't feeling too bad at this point. On Friday I felt like crap and sacked off the exercise and a night out with friends too, opting instead for some quality sofa surfing. The next day I still wasn't feeling much better but I was feeling a bit anxious about what it would mean taking another day off working out - and I'm on a six day week this week. I did a bit of googling to confirm what I already suspected - if I felt fine from the neck down then there was no reason why I couldn't work out.
Going to the gym was the last thing I felt like doing but other than that I was actually just sitting on my arse so if all I felt sleeping and not much else afterwards, then fine. Off I trotted on both Saturday and Sunday and the Sunday workout even ended up being boypump! I went to circuits last night which wasn't that great. Apart from the fact there was lots of sprinting (hate it!) I strained a muscle during the warmup in my left thigh which meant I couldn't squat or lunge and running was rather tricky too. It's still a wee bit sore today so I'll just have to watch I don't overdo it at spinning tonight.
So how do I feel about tomorrow's weigh in. Optimistic but quite frankly nothing surprises me when it comes to the scales. Based on how I feel, and my diet and exercise over the past then I'm expecting a loss. However, when I did my recap of some my dieting years I realised just how much of a slave to the scale I was. I can't let that happen again. There have been some brilliant non scale victories today which reminded me it's all about the bigger picture. My mantra tomorrow morning will be 'bigger picture'.
And finally, a quick exercise recap:
Thursday: Gym workout
Friday: Nothing
Saturday: Gym workout
Sunday: Bodypump
Monday: Circuits & 7 mile cycle
Tuesday: Spinning and 2.5 mile cycle

Important note: The last 2 points mentioned above shall not apply with respect to Related Party Transactions to a Private Company vide Notification dated 5 June 2015
WE also need to understand the definition of Relative as per section 2(77)
Most Important Points: person as may be prescribed is defined under Rule 4 of Companies specification of definition rule
Related Party Transactions useful Points

Interpretation: Now, here question arises weather loan given by Holding Company to wholly owned Subsidiary Company comes under purview of Related Party transaction?
The Answer is No,
Reason– if Holding Company primary business is giving loan and accepting deposit from the public, then such transactions are covered under Related Party Transaction because here holding Company's primary function is giving loans.
For Example: Banks accepts and provides Loan to Customers on daily basis.
Other than this, No Related Party Transaction will be attracted.
Limits: availing or rendering of any services, directly or through appointment of agent exceeding 10% of Turnover or 50 crores Rupees whichever is lower.

Points to be noted:
Important Note: Nothing in section 188(1) shall apply to the transactions entered by the Company in its ordinary course of business and transactions which are at Arm length basis.
What is ordinary Course of Business?
The activities that are normal, necessary and incidental to business are covered under ordinary course of business.
Example: A contractor works with financial institution to secure a loan to continue the project.
What are arm length Transactions?
Arm Length transaction is transaction between two related party without any pressure and they are conducted as they are unrelated so that there is no conflict of interest.
Each of the independent parties are expected to get best possible deal done.
For example: if Company is selling machine to other company at Rupees 25000, but fair market value is 50,000. Then such Transaction is not at arm length price as there is conflict of interest.
New Amendment: for approving related party transaction under section 188(1), the requirement of passing the resolution shall not be applicable for transactions entered between holding Company and wholly Owned Subsidiary Company whose accounts are consolidated with Holding Company and placed before the shareholders at General Meeting for approval.

My brother and his girlfriend were in town for his big birthday bash a few weeks ago. She had never been to the city before so we did a crash course in New York City tourism. In one day. We started at 30 Rock for a quick tour of the studios graciously guided by a dear friend who devotes her weekends to bringing you the news. We peered into the windows of the Today Show set, ambled past the skating rink (still a bar for a short while), and made a much-anticipated stop at the amazing new Lego store…by request of the aforementioned birthday boy, no doubt.
It's a straight shot up Fifth Avenue to Central Park, so we strolled uptown gliding past Tiffany's, the Plaza, and the forgotten landmark that is F.A.O. Schwartz – all sad and lonely, dwarfed by the Apple store's shiny glass box. Once in the park we made the obligatory Home Alone 2 reference ("Kids are a scared of the park"), did a mini photo shoot on a cobblestone bridge, and passed a wayward young lady smoking something that resembled a crack pipe. At least I assume that's what it was, having never been in the presence of a crack pipe.
At this point we were hungry. Famished really. All that sightseeing can really take it out of you. And we'd only seen a fraction of the city. The rest of our afternoon would take us down through Times Square, generally a nightmare, but more so on this day due to some ridiculously unnecessary live concert in the middle of the street. We dragged my bro to Soho to check out the shops and jewelry-laden street tables, but appeased him in the end by taking him to Wall Street which he will be taking over some day soon.
But before we ventured out of midtown it was necessary to find sustenance. What else would I talk about? This is a food blog after all. I am typically hard-pressed to come up with suggestions for restaurants when guests are in town and instantly feel like the worst New Yorker ever if I don't come up with a brilliant little place for each neighborhood. Midtown just below the park is a no man's land for food, unless you want overpriced pub food or fancy schmancy upscale fare. As our hunger transitioned into crankiness I flashed on a friend telling me about the time she paid a visit to the mythical Burger Joint tucked inside the lobby of the Parker Meridian Hotel. This story stuck out to me because she spotted Leonardo DiCaprio while she was there. That is not something easily forgotten by any girl who was 14 in 1998. On the brink of losing my companions to a crappy pub, or worse, a fast food chain, I immediately shouted out "Wait! I know a place." Triumphantly I re-routed us and veered in the direction of Seventh Avenue, dodging horse-drawn carriages and pesky guys trying to sell rickshaw rides. No I will not pay you $40 per person to drag us around in a wagon behind your bike, sir.
Bedraggled and starving, we entered the pristine lobby of the hotel, but nary a burger was to be seen. We followed the crowd to the back where a staircase led to a restaurant full to the brim with the bustling brunch crowd. Could this be it? I typically don't associate white linen tablecloths with a place that has the word 'joint' in the name. But oh please, let this be it. We needed fuel. My heart sank when I glanced at the floor and saw 'Norma's' stenciled in shadow. This was definitely not it.
Defeated and even more ravenous, we shuffled down the stairs. I was about ready to give up when my now 30 year-old brother took it upon himself to ask the concierge. How helpful and grown up of him! We stood waiting in anticipation and prayed he had good news to share. As he walked towards us after his conversation at the desk, a grin spread across his face. "It's just around that corner under that sign. And the guy's exact words were 'you're gonna love it.'" At that moment I knew we had made the right decision. Sure enough, as we rounded the corner, a small neon sign in the shape of, what else — a burger, came into view. A telltale neon arrow pulsed as it pointed towards our destination. We sidled down the hallway and took our place in line behind equally hungry patrons. I couldn't believe we'd actually found it.
But our adventure did not end there. This place literally was a joint. I can't think of a better name. And it has no earthly business being part of such an elegant hotel. But it totally works. As if the juxtaposition of classy and trashy makes the experience that much more memorable. Every square inch of the walls, table tops, stools, and counters were covered with hand-written scrawls. Graffiti of the most flattering variety. A small sign on one of these ink-covered walls requests that patrons kindly not write on the walls. I'm assuming this is a joke.
The ordering process brought on more undue stress, as it's the burger version of the soup Nazi. There's a limited menu, specific ordering instructions, and a definitive time limit for making your selection. A large piece of poster board printed with magic marker bubble letters tells you to choose a hamburger or a cheeseburger. Simple, no? It also conveys, quite clearly, that you must be ready to order by the time you reach the counter or risk going to the end of the line. This of course would bring great shame and added embarrassment to the already peckish patrons who fail to follow the guidelines.
Fortunately, we had our wits about us in spite of our hunger and spilled out our order as quickly and efficiently as possible. Our part in this quest was over and our satisfaction now lay in the capable hands of the men behind the counter. I suppose at this point I was merely assuming their hands were capable as I hadn't tasted the food yet. Our luck started to turn when we snagged a booth in the back corner and sat down to admire the messages left by customers of yore. After we'd taken in all the "Mike was here"s and "For a good time call"s our food was ready. The table was suddenly piled with greasy paper bags emitting heavenly aromas. I don't think anyone spoke for the next five minutes.
In the immortal words of Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction, "That is a TASTY burger." It was incredible. I ordered mine with the works, because, why not? In this case the works consists of ketchup, mustard, mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onion. All the classic elements were present and accounted for. The soft, white bakery bun was practical and no-nonsense, serving as the ideal vehicle for the thick, juicy, grilled-to-perfection patty. From the moment I took the first bite, the flavors mingled on my tongue like yuppies at a cocktail party. My empty stomach gurgled in approval as I gobbled down the precious cheeseburger. The crispy shoestring fries were the icing on the proverbial cake (I couldn't write a whole post without at least mentioning the word 'cake', right?) The quaint plastic red squeeze bottle of ketchup made its rounds and was nearly empty by the time we were finished.
As we chomped on the last few bits of burger and dumped out the stubby ends of fries from the bottom of the bag, we sat for a moment in utter satisfaction, reveling in our victory. My brother's girlfriend leaned in and genuinely inquired, "Hey, what's the name of this burger joint?" I couldn't help but laugh, after all we'd been through to find the place as I replied, "Um. Burger Joint."

Once upon a time there was a cattle rancher. And there was also a cattle rancher's wife. One day the cattle rancher's wife started giving names to the cattle. The cattle rancher said, you shouldn't give them names. But she did anyway. As the cattle rancher's wife began to recognize the cattle by name, she also began to know their individual personalities. And she began to care about them and love them, not just as "cattle" but as pets. Sometimes she would sing to them, and they would contentedly lay down right next to her and just listen. The cattle rancher was upset with his wife. How can we run a cattle ranching business and kill the cattle for meat if all the cattle have names and are pets? Then the wife stopped eating meat and become a vegan and showed her care for the living beings! Now there was real friction in the marriage, and the cattle rancher and his wife didn't get along. The cattle rancher's wife started a blog about her life as vegan.
She tried to an example of how we should live life – not as a cruel master or even an exploiter, but as a caretaker of all living beings. In other words, she tried to live a life based on karma yoga where one dedicated his or her life for serving God and others rather than living for just to oneself. She began to earn money from it, and offered to buy all the cattle from her husband. But after thinking about it, the cattle rancher began to agree with his wife. He liked having the cattle as pets, and he even became a vegan too. And now the cattle rancher and his wife and all the cows and bulls live happily together on the ranch, which has become an animal sanctuary where animals are never killed for meat. See this video embedded below which speaks about how we can achieve the true happiness and realize the futility of the superficiality.
The life of cattle couple is a real, true story. But it's an unusual and rare story. It's one nice story in the midst of innumerable sad stories about farm animals in America. Most cattle, indeed practically all farm animals in America, do not get to live out their lives safely and happily at animal sanctuaries. They are raised for food for human beings on factory farms in conditions which are filthy, cruel, and inhumane. Their life is full of pain, misery, and suffering, and at the end they are transported and slaughtered in ways that most people would be shocked and horrified to hear about, let alone see. But of course, most of us rarely see or hear about or see these things, it's just too unpleasant. And it would be terrible for business. you can learn more about real love and the science of yoga & identity from here.
Animals are big business—really, really big business. An almost incomprehensible number of animals are slaughtered in the United States every year. Can you comprehend 59 billion land and sea animals in 2009? I can't. How many million is that? It takes a while to get our minds around such an incredibly large number. It becomes more manageable when we break it down to a personal level. That's an average of 198 animals that died per meat eater in America in 2009. .
It's easy for us to be oblivious to the background behind the meat we buy in a store. It's cleanly packaged and neatly arranged. It doesn't have a face or a body or life anymore. It's just a dead, lifeless lump of meat. There's no sight of how cruelly the animals are raised or transported or slaughtered. There is no sound of their cries of pain and suffering. It's all very impersonal, quiet and clean–far removed from the horrors that came before. If it were not, certainly many people would not be able to indulge in buying or eating it, especially children.
The cattle rancher's wife realized that each one deserves to live their life. Their cattle were thinking, feeling, loving animals that related to her and responded to affection. Sure, they're still animals, not humans, and they obviously can't talk or do things we humans can do. There are obvious differences between animals and humans, but that doesn't negate the fact that they feel pain, and experience fear, distress, and sadness, or contentment, satisfaction and love. If we personally got to know each of the 198 animals that the average American meat eater ate in 2009, I wonder how many of them we would be able to actually eat? Check this enlightening video below by a student of an enlightened teacher explaining on true love which we all as human beings require to know and act on it. This video also explains the essential aspects of our true identity, life, happiness, in fact every thing is connected to it. watch this for more 🙂
If nothing else, when you buy meat, please take a minute to think about where it came from, what happened to it before it was in the store. Was there a face, a body, a thinking, feeling animal that it came from? What did that animal go through on order to make a piece of its body available for us to buy in the store? And do I want to be a part of that chain of horror and suffering?
Let me leave you with a final thought:
"Once you come to terms with why you don't eat cats, dogs, monkeys, and dolphins, you will begin to understand why I don't eat cows, pigs, chickens, and lambs."
― Edward Sanchez

Broadway Extension expected to reopen next week
Route 169 originally scheduled to open Dec. 16
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —
The Broadway Extension is expected to reopen next week, according to officials with the Missouri Department of Transportation.
MoDOT said that weather permitting, the contractor anticipates Route 169 to open at 5 a.m. on Oct. 31.
The original contract completion date was Dec. 16.
"The contractors' efforts are extraordinary, particularly considering the scope of construction and tight working conditions," MoDOT District Engineer Dan Niec said in a news release.
Crews removed and replaced about a mile of bin wall holding up the east side of the northbound lanes. They also worked to repair and rehabilitate the southbound lanes.
MoDOT said workers are now constructing barrier walls and will stripe the lanes just before the highway reopens.

Health survey methods with minority populations: some lessons from recent experience

Until recently, minority populations have been inadequately or inaccurately represented in health research. Researchers are now recognizing the need to improve the validity and reliability of data on the health status and health-related behaviors of minorities. This paper discusses important methodological issues in conducting health survey research in minority communities: construction of an appropriate sampling frame, response rates, attrition from panel studies, and response patterns. These themes are illustrated with data from three field studies at the New England Research Institute. Two of these studies focus on inner-city Puerto Rican youth, a group rapidly increasing in size. The extent and multiplicity of problems experienced by this group affect the complexity of survey protocols. The third study is a random-digit-dial telephone survey on health care utilization for coronary heart disease by black and white adults from three inner-city neighborhoods in Boston. The conclusions drawn from the Institute's experience are corroborated by other scientific studies. First, the sociocultural characteristics of the community or group selected for study must be considered in planning and implementing any survey research on minority populations. Second, ensuring the quality of field work with minority groups may be expensive because of high residential mobility and lack of preexisting sampling frames. Third, there is no reason to expect any diminution of data quality with minority groups, provided the resources for data collection are adequate. The quality of data is undoubtedly proportional to the field efforts expended, but the costs of high-quality survey work are often not appreciated. The paper questions the utility of the term "minority research," for it disregards the considerable variation between and within minority groups and subcultures.

A British family was forced out of their home after discovering dozens of the world's deadliest spiders in a bunch of bananas purchased from supermarket Sainsbury's. The mother, Consi Taylor, 29. told The Sun she noticed a white spot on the banana she was eating.
She told the newspaper: "I thought it was mold but when I had a closer look I saw some funny looking spots. I had a closer look and was horrified to see they were spiders. They were hatching out on the table, scurrying around on my carpet."
She took the bananas back to the supermarket where was initially offered a £10 voucher in compensation. After sending the image of the spiders to a pest control company, her family were told to evacuate their home as it could be infested with Brazilian wandering spiders. In 2010 Guinness World Records listed the Brazilian wandering spider as the most venomous in the world.
Sometimes known as the "banana spider", Brazilian wandering spiders often hide in banana plants and are found throughout South and Central America.
The venom of these aggressive spiders contains a neurotoxin which triggers loss of muscle control, breathing problems, paralysis and eventual asphyxiation. There is a common anti-venom available.
According to The Sun, Sainsbury's paid for the Taylor home to be fumigated and for the family to stay in a hotel while it was cleaned. They also issued the following statement: "We're very sorry and have apologized to Mr and Mrs Taylor. We do have rigorous controls on imported products at all stages – from harvesting to transportation – which is why this is so rare."
In 2005, a 65-year-old South Wales man was bitten by a venomous crab spider when he reached for a bunch of bananas in a supermarket: Sainsbury's.

text: I really wanted Yahoo Messenger on my DS, and I figured there would be a homebrew version similar to BEUP. The only Yahoo homebrew is non-functional, so after much searching, I thought the only way to do it would be using web-based versions such as ebuddy on Bunjalloo. While these did work, they were slow, requiring a page refresh to receive every message, and forget having multiple conversations functionally at the same time. Not being satisfied, I found another way to get yahoo on the DS, and I thought I'd share this method to save other people the same trouble I had in finding and configuring it. Note, this method works with these IM protocols as well: XMPP/Jabber, Google Talk, Twitter, Facebook, MSN Messenger, AIM and ICQ. What's really useful is being able to sign into more than one client at one time and being able to easily manage all your conversations. Step 1: Obtain an IRC client for DS, I really like Clirc DS because of the window management system, and being able to connect to three different networks simultaneously. Step 2: Configure your IRC client with the following settings: Server: im.bitlbee.org port: 6667 Nick: whatever you want it to be, to set your display name for others to see use: CODEaccount set /display_name "Display Name" Step 3: Adding your IM account(s) Connect to the server you configured above. It will automatically drop you into #bitlbee and &bitlbee, the other user you will see is root, the bot for configuring your IM. In the &bitlbee window, type the command: Code: account add yahoo username123 password123 username123 is your yahoo account without the @yahoo, password123 is your yahoo password. In the same window type Code: register password where password is whatever password you want to login to your IM accounts from your DS. You're now in business, whenever you want to login to your yahoo/whatever IM account, you just connect to the server you set up, and type Code: identify password in the &bitlbee window, where password is the password you registered. This will log you in to any IM accounts you've added. Your online friends will appear in the #bitlbee window, just select a friend you want to message and use /query like in regular IRC. If you want a list of all your contacts regardless of status, type "blist all" into &bitlbee. For further help documentation, type "help commands" to get more detailed information on changing your status, adding friends, etc. All commands are without quotes. I know some people already know about bitlbee, but it was news to me and a guide like this would have been helpful. If you have any questions regarding usage of bitlbee with clirc just ask here and I will assist. Edit: Updated step two regarding display name.

LANDOVER -- For the Cleveland Cavaliers there was no Brad Daugherty, who has missed the past 21 games with a sore back. Tyrone Hill was out, after hyper-extending his right knee the previous night in New York. Mark Price dressed, but the flu
limited him to 16 minutes.
The Cavaliers were a mere shell of their usual selves and the Washington Bullets, desperate for a win, seized the moment with all five starters scoring in double figures in last night's 108-98 win before a sellout crowd of 18,756 at the USAir Arena.
In winning, the Bullets (22-52) were able to stop a two game losing streak, and at the same time, match their win total from last season. The game marked the third of a six-game stretch against probable playoff teams, with the Bullets getting a rare victory over a winning ballclub.

By Paula Lehman-Ewing
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The search for survivors of the deadly mudslides in parts of California's scenic Santa Barbara County continued Sunday even as hopes dwindled to find anyone else alive, officials said.
"We're still in rescue mode and we still hope to find someone alive, although the chances of that are becoming slim," said Justin Cooper, a spokesperson for the multi-agency response team.
The death toll rose to 19 on Saturday and one person was found alive the same day as the hunt continued for five people who remain missing, Cooper said. They range in age from 2 to 62.
Another 900 emergency personnel arrived this weekend to join the relief effort conducted by more than 2,100 personnel from local, state and federal agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Navy and the American Red Cross.
The ramped-up rescue effort is in response to urgent requests for additional manpower made earlier in the week.
The disaster struck on Tuesday after heavy rains soaked the area near Montecito, north of Los Angeles, where vegetation had been denuded by the largest wildfire in California's history.
Sodden hillsides gave way, unleashing a torrent of mud, water, uprooted trees and boulders onto the valley below and killing victims aged from 3 to 89.
The destruction covered 30 square miles (78 square km), the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said, and forced the partial closure of one of California's most celebrated coastal roads, Highway 101.
Officials ordered residents in most of the southeastern corner of Montecito, which is east of Santa Barbara, to leave their homes for what was likely to be one or two weeks.
Many fled to nearby Carpinteria, where local resident Tessa Nash said more than a few were communicating via a Facebook page called Carpinteria Swap, which is usually focused on the buying and selling of secondhand goods.
These days, Nash said, it carries information about community-led blood drives and transportation tips.
"We're really joined together," she said. "We're affected here in Carpinteria in the sense that we're taking these people in and a lot of people are out of work because they can't travel. It's a trickle-down effect."

Baker 17, Godfrey 44, Halloran 90
Batista 2, Makhloufi 50, 55, Saadi 83, 90+2
PORTLAND United suffered a 5-3 defeat to Bournemouth FC at Grove Corner in the Sydenhams Wessex Premier Division.
Braces from Sami Makhloufi and Fawzi Saadi and an Eder Batista goal defeated the Blues, who saw Sanchez Baker, Alex Godfrey and Alex Halloran find the net.
Bournemouth got off to the best possible start when Batista latched onto the impressive Makhloufi's through ball before rounding Ashley Weeks and slotting home in the second minute.
On 17 minutes, Portland equalised when Baker's acrobatic volley hit a post and trickled across the line.
The Blues' leveller signalled a period of domination for the hosts and just before half-time Portland made it 2-1 thanks largely to superb control and hold-up play from Billy Mitchell.
Mitchell then laid the ball off to Smith, whose cross to the back post found Godfrey unmarked, the forward finishing with his head while lying on the floor having seen his initial header blocked by Kovacs.
The Poppies' equaliser after the break was of Portland's own making, Sam Buckler heading a long ball straight at Makhloufi who controlled, ran through on goal and tucked an effort past Weeks.
Five minutes later Makhloufi sent a booming strike into the right corner, giving Weeks no chance for 3-2.
Portland again contributed to their own downfall when substitute Shaun Bessant conceded possession cheaply to Batista, who held play up and found Saadi in acres of space to curl a left-footer in off the bar on 83 minutes.
The hosts rallied and worked a lovely cross-field move, culminating in Godfrey teeing up Halloran for a calm finish into the far corner.
Seeking to make it 4-4, Baker conceded a contentious foul and quick-thinking from Saadi enabled him to lob Weeks from inside his own half in a sublime ending to the game.
Speaking to Echosport after the match, Blues' boss Simon Browne said he had told players until he was "blue in the face" to start "brightly".
"I've said time and time again until I'm blue in the face about starting games brightly.
"There wasn't even a minute on the clock and we've conceded a goal. Then at half-time I said don't concede early and give them a way back in the game, but what did we do? Exactly that. It's so frustrating," he said.

Signing this star is impossible, admits Jose Mourinho
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has poured cold water on the possibility signing Brazilian superstar Neymar by admitting it is impossible to lure him from Barcelona, per Sky.
It is believed the 25-year-old has a £172million buyout clause in his contract at the Camp Nou, and United had reportedly been planning to meet it this summer.
But Mourinho, who is planning on spending heavily again this summer, says no one can expect to sign Neymar because he is too important to Barcelona.
"It's speculation. I always try to be objective and pragmatic with clubs and to ask them what they can give me. To ask for Neymar is absurd," he told ESPN Brasil.
United fans when they see Jose Mourinho call the Neymar links 'absurd' pic.twitter.com/dCLS9VNgrY— Freebets.co.uk (@freebetscouk) 30 March 2017
"A club like Barcelona can not and will not lose Neymar. Although Messi is still a young player with years ahead of him, he's almost 30, and Neymar will be the great player of Barcelona post-Messi.
"So much that I think it [trying to sign Neymar] is like trying to break into a safe, impossible."
United are currently fifth in the Premier League and still battling for Champions League qualification.

Most 2 year olds (geez, he's almost 2!!) are building their vocabulary by repeating everything they hear and see. Elliot's more interested in grouping like objects.
For example, the word apple (ah-ohl) is for any type of fruit.
E: Wan ah-ohl.
A: What? There is no apple. You mean banana? Do you want a banana?
E: Noooooooooooo. Ah-ohl! Peeees?
You can imagine what we hear when we go through the fruit page of his 100 Words book. Ah-ohl, ah-ohl, ah-ohl.
This also is the case for trucks. Any and all trucks from pickups to semi trucks and anything in between - you are now known as firetrucks (fie-twukk), wee-oo wee-oo.
E: fie-twukk!
A: Actually, that's a garbage truck.
E: Yep. Fie-twukk! wee-oo wee-oo.
I'm not sure, but I think he's a genius.

Ok, we are making short films. Adverts.30 seconds. That's it.
So how long is it taking us to make these films? I want you to time all the tasks in the process. How long is it taking you to research each company you look at? and be careful here – some research packs have taken a week to get back to the folder, yet I know the researcher has sat still for a long time – or even just printed out web pages.
I want to know in hours how long the whole process has taken – confirming who what they have been nominated for, looking at what the company has given us, finding the web site, reading it, extracting what is important & relates to the awards, putting together the checklist, rough script, shot list & questions, phoning them, talking to them, running through the shots we want, negotiating access to those areas, running through the questions, rewriting the questions, rough script and shotlist based on what the company have said they want.
Then the logistics – this is essentially just sorting out who is going to get the footage. This should not take too long, but can be quite complex when there are 5 groups going out with 3 cameras in 1 minibus.
Then there is travel – how long does it actually take you to get to the company? How long are you filming on site? The average seems to be about 2 hours, which is a long time for a 30 second films… Then there is the journey back.
Then digitising – real time for DV, quicker for digital. But you ned to log the footage – where is the good stuff? Have we found the best shots, the best soundbites? We only have 30 seconds, but it needs to be a dense, action packed 30 seconds. It has to sell. This takes some serious editing.
By my estimation, 3 hours filming per film, 4 hours researching & talking, and (depending on how well the shoot was logged) either 7 or 14 hours editing. So, lets say 21 hours per film. Most of you will take a lot longer. But why is this important?
A job like this is payed by a fee. You would estimate how long it would take you to do all these jobs, in hours, and then multiply by an hourly fee. Lets say, £25 per hour. So, I make it each film (before we get to the master edit, and without expenses) as being worth about £525 each. (NB – this is based on one person, so with a 4 person crew going out takes it closer to £900). So, talk to someone who you know owns a business and see if they would be willing to pay £525 for a 30 second piece. If they say no, look at how big their business is – then ask yourself why…
I have had companies complain at a release fee of £100. But how would you bring the cost down? Well, you do it quicker. Drivers and crew who don't muck about. Get in and film exactly what you need, based on good solid research. Maybe 2 hours to explore the subject, and come out with a good solid shotlist and questions that cover everything. It is worth spending more time on the research, because it is the filming and edit that will consume the most time. If you know what you want before you go, it is so much easier to assemble what you need at the end of the day.
So, as part of you blog – tell me how long you have been spending on each task. Multiply that, in hours, by £25. Then tell me if the work you have is worth that amount of money.
