Sustainable Diet Development Timeline
It is time to turn over a new page. It is Monday, Nov. 21. The afterglow faded gradually into the darkness, the light in the distance flickered. With the rustling of the tree, we crossed the winding path and arrived the destination—Ohio Ecohouse. The sound of laughing and talking passed from the house, the aroma of food permeated in the air.
The Sustainable Thanksgiving Dinner was held here, at the Ohio Ecohouse, by the Office of Sustainability of Ohio University, which included teaching people making a low-carbon menu by using locally-grown, in-season produce.
During a time when Americans generally waste $277 million dollars worth of uneaten food, the Office of Sustainability gave eco-friendly eaters something to be thankful for.
Vicky Kent, a graduate student, majoring in recreation studies, was engaged in the dinner from stem to stern, preparing the dishes, co-hosting the dinner, teaching the crowd, and spreading the idea.
Kent has been a graduate assistant in the Office of Sustainability since the beginning of this semester.
In the first eyes, Kent is a quiet, mature and steady young woman. It seems like she is introverted. But with the talking, one may find she is an amazing and inspiring person with an obsessive desire for sustainability.
For Kent, her interests and experience on environment issue makes her think that it is important to rationally and reasonably use resources. "It is about personal sustainability," she said.
During the time working for the Office of Sustainability, Kent finds herself realizing such an enormous subjects with the time past and learning how to use small technology to develop and build the big campus to make it more eco-friendly.
An irregular and meaningful dinner
Kent said she was trying to teach people on this dinner about some sustainable things and give them skills that they can take to their families. Making people know more about sustainability by cooking is the most crucial thing for her. To achieve this goal, she and the office of sustainability had prepared the dinner for one month. They even went to another town to prepare everything they need for this dinner.
Annie Laurie Cadmus, director of Office of Sustainability who co-hosted the dinner with Kent, was a kind woman but sobered down immediately when talking anything about environment and sustainability.
Cadmus said it was important to use local organic and sustainable food items for the dinner.
"All of the dishes we made tonight, all of the diary was local, almost all of the produce was local, in fact, local to campus — we got them from food studies organic gardens managed by students," Cadmus said.
She said the office considers the carbon footprint and energy consumption of each item, not by the ingredients, but by the process of cooking with gas stoves and ovens.
Adisa Azapagic, professor at the University of Manchester, said, food production and processing causes three-quarters of the total carbon footprint, 60% of it is related to the life cycle of the turkey.
The vegetable dinner included sweet potato casserole, vegetarian stuffing, mashed potatoes with vegetarian gravy, salad and pumpkin and butternut squash pie.
Things you should know for sustainable diet
"We intentionally chose vegetarian dishes, because meat has a high carbon footprint," Cadmus said. "We chose traditional Thanksgiving dishes that did not include meats, so that where we got the best idea for the menu for tonight."
According to the study "Dietary Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Meat-eaters, Fish-eaters, Vegetarians and Vegans in The UK," conducted by University of Oxford scientists, the vegan diets produced greenhouse gas only 2.89kg, which is about twice as less as those in self-selected meat-eaters. The research analyzed the food eaten by 29,589 meat eaters, 15,751 vegetarians, 2,041 vegans and 8,123 fish-eaters.
While turkey is a traditional Thanksgiving dish, it was intentionally left out of the meal on Monday.
"Meat is one of the most unsustainable things to eat. So we were trying to teach people the easy things to change the cook softly," Kent said. "Because we have seen cook a whole turkey for many people, we could reteach everyone to do that. We tried to make everyone was included and taught them the simplest side dishes."
Why suggesting people be sustainable
Maeve Kroeger, a junior studying media and social change in OU, is a resident of Ohio Ecohouse.
Kroger is the most popular person at the dinner table. She wore a fine black nose ring and a wine-colored scarf, clothed in a black floral coat, and told various vivid stories and jokes.
It is hard to believe that a funny girl who dressed herself chic is keen on sustainable life, a simple way to live. Kroger even had unique insights on sustainability.
"I attracted to the idea of sustainable lifestyle because I feel that is the only way we should live," Kroeger said. "Sustainability is not a hard thing as it looks, it is just slowly change your lifestyle that causes you to use the waste resources every time you consume."
She said eating seasonal food is one of the most significant things that people can do for the sustainable diet.
When talking about what is the inspiration for the Sustainable Thanksgiving Dinner, Kent said that people only use a third of total food resources.
"We throw away some of the turkeys, so much food goes to waste," Kent said. "The dinner is a way that can help people to realize we are very wasteful to join this celebration. And how they can change a small thing that can make their life becomes more sustainable."
Kent believes people who joined this dinner will realize if everyone can save a little, then the concept of sustainability would eventually spread around the world.
Cadmus pointed out food waste is a problem year-round, not just during Thanksgiving. It also exists on campus — for instance, diners will take more than they need at the dining halls for single meals.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of United States indicated the worldwide volume of food wastage is approximately at 1.6 billion tons. The edible part of the total amount is up to 1.3 billion tons.
"What we need to do is that educate diners on the day to day based only take what they need to know their abundant desire to make them take more that they required," Cadmus said.
She hoped the dinner could educate and influence people. She said, for tonight dinner, the office chose not to peel the potato such as mashed potato, because the office wants to transfer these peelings not just made it go to the compost heap but kept it in the meal.
Kroeger said living in the Ecohouse has helped her learn how to be more sustainable and how to use waste resources regarding cooking like whether she use the stove or the oven what will contribute more greenhouse gasses in the earth, whether she wants a compost rather than throw away the garbage. She said she would convince her family to be more sustainable after she comes back to home.
Kent said she looks forward to the funny and opening dinner can help people to think and discuss the ways that can make the life more sustainable, or urge people to talk about the ways could promote sustainability.
"I think one people realize it can save their money as much as possible, more people will believe it is valuable," Kent said.

NAMI Southern Arizona's Training Programs
The overall goals for NAMI Southern Arizona's training programs are to ensure that members
of the community who are interested in a career in the mental health field are given ample opportunities to achieve
their individual goals. These programs allow NAMI Southern Arizona to educate, advocate, support and implement NAMI's mission to improve the quality of life for all those affected by mental illness. We currently have three signature trainings,Peer Mentor training, Peer Support Specialist Training and Documentation Training.
Upon successful completion of our 10-class Peer-to-Peer education course, participants have the opportunity to apply for our three-day Peer Mentor training. This training demonstrates how to co-facilitate a Peer-to-Peer class as a mentor, allowing participants to come full circle and view the Peer-to-Peer class from multiple perspectives. This is the second phase required toward becoming a certified Peer Support Specialist.
After completing the Peer Mentor training participants have the option to become certified as Peer Support Specialist. This training prepares participants to be better equipped to acquire a job in the behavioral health field. This training lasts for three full days. To become state certified, participants will complete 68 clock hours of cumulative training, which includes completion of the Peer-to-Peer class; Peer Mentor training; and Peer Support Specialist training. Upon completion of all three training opportunities, participants receive a state certified identification number provided by Cenpatico Integrated Care.
In addition, NAMI Southern Arizona also offers a one-day documentation training which teaches people the skills needed to perform clinical documentation in the behavioral health field. Participants learn to document using the Description, Assessment and Plan (DAP) format, a method commonly used in a behavioral health setting. DAP notes are used to properly demonstrate that a person is making progress toward the goals established in their treatment plan. At the conclusion of the group training, participants receive a certificate that signifies that they have successfully completed eight hours of documentation training. Following this group training, individuals are given the option of doing one-on-one trainings with one of our training specialists. After attending the group training and completing at least three 1 to 1.5 hour individual sessions they can then become credentialed to document for Peer-to-Peer classes as a Behavioral Health Para-Professional.

Sunday Funnies 01/22/06
Gohan and Aochan make strange bedfellows: one's a 3.5-inch dwarf hamster; the other is a yard-long rat snake. Zookeepers at Tokyo's Mutsugoro Okoku zoo presented the hamster _ whose name means "meal" in Japanese _ to Aochan as a tasty morsel in October, after the snake refused to eat frozen mice.
But instead of indulging, Aochan decided to make friends with the furry rodent, according to keeper Kazuya Yamamoto. The pair have shared a cage since...

Having Trouble with Microsoft Word
"Computer assistant. May I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with Microsoft Word."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all words went away."
"Went away?"
"They disappeared."
"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
"It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
"Are you still in Microsoft Word, or did you get out?
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C:\ prompt on the screen?"
"What's a sea-prompt?"
"Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a monitor?"
"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
......"Yes, I think so."
"Great! Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."
......"Yes, it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into
the back of it, not just one?"
"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
......"Okay, here it is."
"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
"I can't reach."
"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle -- it's because it's dark."
"Yes -- the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."
"Well, turn on the office light then."
"I can't."
"No? Why not?"
"Because there's a power outage."
"A power... A power outage? Aha! Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"
"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
"Good! Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
One afternoon, I was in the back yard hanging the laundry when an old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home. But when I walked into the house, he followed me, sauntered down the hall and fell asleep in a corner. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back. He resumed his position in the hallway and slept for an hour.
This continued for several weeks. Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: "Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap."
The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with ten children - he's trying to catch up on his sleep."

GoodTaste! Pittsburgh held the second annual food truck festival, Food Truck-A-Palooza, on Saturday, May 6th at the Pump House at the Waterfront in Pittsburgh. Attendees enjoyed an expansive menu from over thirty of some of the region's favorite food trucks.
The event grew as a result of the growing food truck community in the Pittsburgh region and follows an equally successful Food Truck-a-Palooza in the spring of 2016 and Food Truck-A-Palooza Winter in the winter of 2016. This family-friendly event featured live music, kids activities, and a craft exhibit made up of the region's top-level exhibitors.
Attendees chowed on a variety of some of the region's best gourmet and artisan food truck fare including mac 'n cheese, pierogies, tacos, barbeque, Mediterranean, Indian, desserts and more.
Proceeds from this year's event benefitted the Munhall volunteer Fire Department.

What is a PhD?
A PhD is a substantial piece of original scholarship for which the research and writing-up can reasonably be expected the be completed in three years. At MML there is a normal word limit of 80,000 words (including footnotes and appendices but excluding bibliography). The thesis should represent a significant contribution to learning through the discovery of new knowledge or through the connection of previously unrelated facts, or the devlopment of new theory, revision of older views or some combination of these. In writing the thesis you are expected to take account of previously published work on the subject and the thesis should be clearly and accurately written, paying due attention to English style and grammar. Candidates for the PhD in Cambridge are guided by a supervisor, though they will normally also discuss their work with a number of other experts in their field.
Non-native speakers of English should ensure that their work is checked by a native speaker, preferably with some subject knowledge. Supervisors cannot be expected to correct poor English but of course may give advice on questions of English writing.
PhD study at Cambridge is intellectually demanding and should be undertaken only by those who have the necessary level of attainment and motivation to pursue research or advanced study at the highest level of scholarship. In addition, graduate students in Cambridge are expected to have the capacity, and enthusiasm, for organising their own research and to work largely on their own initiative.
Candidates for the PhD are guided by a supervisor and offered a programme of professional development. Details of the graduate training available can be found here
PhD students are expected to begin their research at the beginning of the academic year, 1 October, although for Linguistics students it may be possible to begin in January if prior arrangement with the Department has been made. Students must normally have completed all the requirements of any previous courses before commencing their studies at Cambridge. Graduate students are generally in residence continuously throughout the year (apart possibly from short breaks taken in the periods between terms). Residing in the University, for research students, means living within a distance of 10 miles from the centre of Cambridge.
PhD students might reasonably expect to see their supervisor fortnightly or at least 3 times a term. The length of a supervision may vary, depending on the stage a student is at, and on the nature of the written work, if any, to be discussed. As a rule, however, such meetings generally last between 30 and 60 minutes.

All 7 Attendees Agree… Belleville Coffee Party a Huge Success
The place was rockin.
The Belleville Coffee Party kicked off on Saturday. (BND.com)
Belleville Obama supporters held their first Coffee Party Meeting on Saturday. The 7 attendees agreed it was a great success.
The Belleville News Democrat reported, via Publius Forum:
West Belleville resident Jenny Moon was frustrated with her observations of the political system.
Earlier this year, she joined a Facebook group that has concerns about extreme political tactics and partisan bickering.
"A lot of people were disgruntled with how politics is gridlocked right now," Moon said.
On Saturday, she hosted the first Coffee Party USA in Belleville. It was open to the public.
Of the seven people who met midday at Oregon Trail Roasting Co. at 201 W. Main St. in Belleville, only three had a cup of coffee. One drank a Fitz's root beer.
The group, which started in January, wants to see cooperation in government, according to its Web site. Participants will set plans for "Coffee With Congress," which are meetings with lawmakers.
Some people at the Belleville meeting claimed to be Republicans, some were Democrats, while others were independents or confused.
Belleville is a city of 41,000 right outside of St Louis in Illinois.

Hello New Week! Yay to Mondays!
Our Featured mural today and F.A.B talk are inspired by a "donuts mural".
Located on Broad and W. 2Oth Street in Chattanooga ,TN this donut mural was once the subject of a legal debate and local controversy.
During the summer of 2014, there was a legal issue about this cool mural because it's located near one of the cities best bakery, the Koch bakery.
According to the city, those yummy looking donuts would provide illegal advertising to the bakery. The donuts were not intentionally painted to attract customers to the bakery but I guess I can see their point, if you think about yummy donuts you might stop by the closest bakery, in some ways it can be sort of a subliminal message…and since I am writing about donuts I myself am thinking about those yummy beignets from the book It's a Pineapple Thing! Everyone is raving about those pineapple beignets and rightfully so.
Back to the mural, I don't know how they settled the whole issue, I am assuming that people made their peace about the mural because as of today it is still there. I am glad that the mural is still standing, bold and fun. However, in a city that is growing and constantly seeing some changes, that mural might eventually be removed…Chattanooga has been growing so much in the recent years that I would see a mural or a building one day and months later it would be something totally different…Check my book Strolling Chattanooga to see some of the recent changes and visually explore the city's best destinations…The book is worth adding to your book collection, some day as you see more changes around the city you would be able to use the book Strolling Chattanooga as a great reference. There are some murals and places that I actually shared in the book that are currently going through some transformations. Get the book, if you live in Chattanooga or get to visit, use it as your fun tour guide and see those changes for yourself.
Now for our FAB Food. Art & Beauty Talk:
Food: Since we are talking donuts, you absolutely have to try those amazing pineapple beignets that everyone is loving so much. The recipe is originally from a very old French cookbook that I saved from my childhood. Check my book It's a Pineapple Thing! for the recipe and my little twist to it. Try them and tell me what you think! They are so easy to make and so yummy that I can't wait for you to tell me what you think!
Still talking about food, for all the Food Network's fans out there, my daughter and I had the pleasure of meeting celebrity chef Jernard Wells this past Saturday.
Art: Chef Wells and I both had a book signing at Barnes & Noble on the same evening.
Thanks to my books practically selling out within an hour, it gave me the opportunity to stay longer to enjoy the company of books shoppers and the presentation of the Chef and his little team.
Chef Wells was introducing his new book Road Map: A woman's Guide to a Good Man. Even though I have been married for 16 years and counting, I look forward to reading his book because as a bibliophile, I am sure that I will find some gems from this Road Map! He does have other books worth checking out as well. Having my book signing for It's a Pineapple Thing! was certainly a perfect occasion for me to meet him. Both books are available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. What's so cool is that we both believe that food is a great and necessary ingredient to enjoying some pleasant relationships with others.
In my book, I frequently encourage my readers to invite their loved ones to cook and enjoy a meal together. It's a Pineapple Thing! is a message of love with the main intention of influencing my readers to use my recipes, and theirs, to create memories with their loved ones.
It was exciting to see that Chef Wells shares the same passion for food and relationships; because I grew up in Paris, France and in Ivory Coast, the power of food is deeply embedded in me.
Beauty: The first subject of our beauty/fashion talk is a homemade African print top ( see picture below) that I made and wore for my book signing. That night I received countless compliments about it and many ladies asked if I could make them one! Maybe we will discuss that in some future blogs. It's fun and beautiful to make your own outfit and see that people actually love it!

The Latest Superfoods for Health and Longevity
The discovery of superfoods is a breakthrough in modern health sciences, especially in relation to longevity, for these food groups naturally supplement the body in abundance with the elements, naturally deficient in a conventional diet. Our immune systems are responsible for keeping us healthy, energized, and helping us age well. Fortifying the immune system promises a longer life span and a healthy state of the body. Superfoods heighten the function of the immune system, avert diseases and infections, perk up the mood, enhance memory, and augment the energy levels. Here are a few superfoods for health you should add to your diet:
Spinach contains vitamins A and C, folic acid and magnesium which help control cancer, reduce heart disease and stroke risks, block free radicals and can help prevent osteoporosis, thereby making it one of the best superfoods for health.
Goji Berries
This scrumptious superfood is excellent for the immune system and is replete in Vitamin C, fiber, antioxidants, and Folic acid. These vibrant red berries are known in connection with an augmented lifespan and as a preventive food against diabetes mellitus, heart ailments and memory degeneration.
Acai Berries
These fiercely purple berries are loaded with antioxidants that fight off the free radicals inside the body. These berries are devoid of sugar, which makes them an ideal option for individuals keenly watching their sugar intake. Acai berries are also one of the richest dietary sources of Omega-3 fatty acids, which promote the health of heart and brain, and enhance the memory.
Raw Macadamia Nuts
These delectable nuts are a powerhouse of critical nutrients, including elevated amounts of vitamin B1, magnesium, manganese and healthful monounsaturated fats. These nuts are also a rich source of a special type of saturated fats that enhance metabolism and ward off diseases, making this one of the must-have superfoods for health in your diet.
Before you turn your nose up at the blue green algae, Spirulina is great for brain health, cognitive function, heart health, blood sugar levels, digestive system, immune system, skin and maintaining a healthy weight! It is also a rich source of protein, iron and Vitamin B12. Not only does it perk up the mood and enhance memory, but improves focus after only a few doses.
Maca roots, more commonly ground into a fine powder, are beneficial for longevity as they nourish the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are responsible for keeping our emotional health at an optimal level. Maca's most redeeming quality is it is an adaptogen, which helps our body fight stress, inflammation, PMS, anxiety, fatigue and depression.

The first time I entered Zul'Gurub alone had nothing to do with running it Solo, it was simply to try and get the Deadliest Catch achievement after my goup finished the instance. At that time I was a cocky young Death Knight thinking that since I was 80 I could take on anything. I proceeded to run through the instance aggro'ing mobs and ignoring them. I could just handle them all at once when I got to where I was going, or so I thought. Thus was my first lesson, and not my last, in how to much confidence can cause you to die. Yup I got my a$$ kicked by all those mobs and realized I wasn't as tough as I thought I was. But it was a good lesson learned the hard way and due to be learned again.
So this time I was more prepared. I had completed Heroic Underbog, become more familiar with the new rotation that came along with my blood spec and I had already learned a harsh lesson from this instance. I also decided to try using my DPS gear instead of my tank gear in hopes that I would be able to down the bosses quicker and the armor I lost wouldn't matter to much in the lower level instances. I was good to go. I entered the portal to the instance and started on my first group of trash. Dead, dead, dead, first group down on to the next, and again, and again. I kept grinding away feeling overpowerful and full of blood lust. These poor fools didn't stand a chance. And then I came across my first boss encounter, feeling confident but still remembering my overconfidence caused problems for me before I approached High Priest Venoxis cautiously followed my rotation kept an eye on my health and finished him off easily.
Then the next boss, and the next, I was a machine I was careful on my mob pulls but every so often I pulled more then intended, with no problem. I never went below half my health on trash, and rarely below 3/4 health. If I went below half I would put my Oh Crap sequence to use and quickly jump back up to full health. I summoned Ghaz'ranka, completed the achievement, mowed him down, moved on. I was a little worried when I arrived upon High Priestess Arlokk but I handled her with no problems at all. I continued through the raid running what I thought was all the content, remember I had only been here once before and then with a group that had cleared most of the content already.
Finally I arrived at Hakkar, having had no issues before I was confident I would clean him up easily as well. I started the fight, which at the begining of he has this little speech he gives, for some reason I still don't know if it was bugged but after a short time into the figth Hakkar would reset, regain all his health, and start his speech over again. Not that it made much difference, his reset that is, because I was getting my ass kicked. I'm not sure which ability he was using but I was assuming mind control (although I read some posts that state he doesn't use that when your alone) because he would take control of me and start randomly casting spells/abilities, one post I read stated that this cause him to come out of combat with Hakkar and reset him. I was alone in the instance so I didn't think this would matter but I'm wondering if it was because I still had someone in my raid group, not in the instance but still showing up on the raid info page. Either way he made short work of me and so I went to do some research to figure out how to beat him. During my research, which is my way of saying I went to Wowhead and read up on the instance and the bosses, I found out that I didn't kill all the High Priests and this give Hakkar more abilities and health. Now my goal is to run these instances like any group would, that is progress through the trash, clear the bosses, and then finish off the last boss so I was intent on going back through and finishing the rest.
I had two other High Priests to kill in order to tackle Hakkar again. The first one was the bat one (can't remember their names anymore) and then the tiger. The bat one was easy but again, I was over confident, took on to many trash mobs at once and died. No big deal, I should be able to handle all these guys at once but I'll chalk to up to little experience and skill with this spec as well as no tank gear. After the wipe I went back, cleared the trash killed the boss. No problem, on to the tiger boss.
After spending some time trying to figure out where he was I entered his area, cleared trash and got ready to take him on. Now I hadn't read up on this fight before hand but I noticed that he had two adds present with him. I figured no problem I would ignore them and just down the boss. So I pulled the boss and started the fight. After a short while I noticed that after getting the boss lower and lower in hp he suddenly would jump up again. I realized one of the adds with him must be a healer, so after paying a little closer attention to them I figured out which one it as and decided to kill them first. I targeted the healer, killed him and went back to the boss. Much to my surprise a short time later the healer was resurrected. Damn I thought, have to kill the other add first. So I went back to killing the healer, switched over to the other add to kill him and wasn't able to kill him fast enough before the resurrection. OK I thought I'll kill the add that keeps resurrecting the healer then the healer then the boss. Well that doesn't work either. I kill the second add, move on to the healer who then resurrects the previous add. So at this point I run out of his area and go to Wowhead to read up on how to kill this guy. Turns out you have to kill all three within a tight timeframe (I believe about 15 seconds). OK I think no problem I'll just get all of them low and then finish them off. So I go back and start again this time intent on killing them all quickly. End result was I spent 30 minutes trying to kill these three guys. No matter what I did I just could not get them down quick enough. I will say I am very impressed with the spec I am using, for 30 minutes I never had a time where I was seriously worried about dying. Just kept grinding away trying to get these guys to fall down together. After spending so much time on them I ran out of their area again and called it a night.
When I go back again I have a new strategy. This time I will focus on one of the three, not spread my diseases around so they don't get killed by my DoT's and get each one real low on health. Then it's all out DoT's and mass killing. I also think I figured out my problem with Hakkar, thanks to a friendly poster at Wowhead. Turns out it is probably my blood worms that are causing it to reset, I'm going to respect, getting rid of bloodworms and probably taking Death Rune Mastery. I didn't take that before because I didn't expect to have a need for the death runes, figured I would be using death strikes more often than not. However after a few runs I realize there are times I want more DPS then health regen and those death runes could be used for more Heart Strikes. I'll try it out and let you know how I fare.

Road Safety Management
Implementing the Safe System approach requires developing and strengthening a country's institutional management capacity in order to focus on achieving results aimed at the elimination of deaths and serious injuries. A targeted approach towards this ambition is recommended.
A new report from OECD Zero Road Deaths and Serious Injuries Leading a Paradigm Shift to a Safe System describes a paradigm shift in road safety policy, being led by a handful of countries, according to the principles of a Safe System.
A Safe System is based on the premise that road crashes are both predictable and preventable, and that it is possible to move towards zero road deaths and serious injuries. This, however, requires a fundamental rethink of the governance and implementation of road safety policy.
This report builds on the key recommendations of the World Report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention that set out the strategic initiatives necessary to improve country road safety performance.

Firestone Riesling 2011
Winemaker Notes
The exuberant fruit flavors and smart balance of this wine make it the ideal aperitif or accompaniment to Asian dishes, spicy Mexican foods or creamy cheeses.
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
Founded in 1972 by Leonard and Brooks Firestone, Firestone Vineyard was Santa Barbara County's first estate winery. In September 2007, Bill Foley acquired the Firestone winery and 380 vineyard acres in Los Olivos, as well as the Firestone tasting room in Paso Robles. Bill has continued the Firestone tradition in striving for the very best in vineyard management and cutting edge winemaking discipline. The vineyard focuses on optimal physiological balance in the vines yielding wines that are brightly flavored, crisp and delicious. Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah vineyards are located on a series of mesas that have gravelly sub-soils, ideally oriented for perfect exposure.
The largest and perhaps most varied of California's wine-growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of the state's wine. The sprawling district covers most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara from the coast inland nearly all the way to the Central Valley. Encompassing an extremely diverse array of climates, soil types, and wine styles, it contains many smaller sub-AVAs, including Monterey, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, and Santa Cruz Mountains.
Just about every major international grape variety is planted within this vast AVA, from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. A significant proportion of the region's produce is generic, inexpensive bulk wine, but the Central Coast is also home to many small, artisanal wineries crafting unique, high-quality wines, as well as everything in between.
A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining easily identifiable typicity. This versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling, and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Riesling is best known in Germany and Alsace, and is also of great importance in Austria. The variety has also been particularly successful in Australia's Clare and Eden Valleys, New Zealand, Oregon, Washington, cooler regions of California, and the Finger Lakes in New York.
In the Glass
Riesling is low in alcohol, with high acidity, steely minerality, and stone fruit, spice, citrus, and floral notes. At its ripest it leans towards juicy peach and nectarine, and pineapple, while in cooler climes it is more redolent of meyer lemon, lime, and green apple. With age, Riesling can become truly revelatory, developing unique, complex aromatics, often with a hint of gasoline.
Perfect Pairings
Riesling is very versatile, enjoying the company of sweet-fleshed fish like sole, most Asian food, especially Thai and Vietnamese (bottlings with some residual sugar and low alcohol are the perfect companions for dishes with substantial spice), and freshly shucked oysters. Sweeter styles work well with fruit-based desserts.
Sommelier Secret
It can be difficult to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling, and German labeling laws do not make things any easier. Look for the world "trocken" to indicate a dry wine, or "halbtrocken" or "feinherb" for off-dry. Some producers will include a helpful sweetness scale on the back label—happily, a growing trend.

Peanut Butter Crescent Ring
A simple twisting technique makes this dessert look impressive (it's basically the same method used to make chocolate babka), but it's secretly a cinch to put together. Store-bought crescent roll dough quickens the process, and crunchy peanut butter adds texture without the need for additional nuts. To put this treat firmly in the dessert category, we added confectioners' sugar to the peanut butter, and also used it to make a sweet glaze that's drizzled over top. Don't even bother slicing it up—we guarantee your guests will just go at it with their hands. Serve warm.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent dough on the parchment paper and press into a 13 x 8-inch rectangle.
In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Spread onto dough, leaving a ½" border. Beginning with the longer side, roll the dough into a log. Place seam side down, then cut in half lengthwise. Twist the halves together with cut sides facing up, shape into a circle, and pinch the ends together. Bake until golden brown, 18-20 minutes.
Pour the remaining ½ cup sugar into a small bowl. Add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach a smooth, pourable glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the ring.

The Phnom Penh Post asks this weekend is Cambodia ready for drought again? At Project Alba we understand how devastating a 'no' answer is to farmers across the country.
The effects of climate change can have a severe impact on low income farmers who may already be struggling to support their families year round. The loss of even one crop is a big challenge for some farmers. As climate change becomes ever more evident it's clear that collectively we need to do more to better prepare for its impact
The work of Project Alba is crucial.
As we pointed out in 2015, during the last El Nino, a naturally occurring weather phenomenon which scientists have suggested is being further exasperated by climate change, some of the work of our farmers had to stall because of the drought and subsequent lack of water.
What is Project Alba doing?
Our highly qualified technical teams are working with 100 farmers to ensure that they are adapting their land to address potential climate impacts. We have worked with them on new techniques including water management to ensure they can stretch their water supplies further than before and that their crops are adapted to drought and heat.
The scale of the farms we work with means we have to limit the amount of money we invest per farm. The best investment solution we found was to improve access to superficial water resources, such as ponds or wells.
These superficial water resources are the most renewable ones - they get filled up every year during the rainy season. This means our long term impact on underground water resources is virtually inexistent.
However, these resources are also the most susceptible to climate change, which means that although they allow the farmers to extend their growing season, they are not by themselves capable of solving the problem.
That's why we use an integrated approach, where improving water resources is only part of the solution. Reducing water consumption is essential. We do that through drip irrigation systems, organic mulching and carefully selecting the crops
It's is due to our climate adaptation work as well as our wider programme of diversify crops and generating a more regular turnover of produce that many farmers we work with are more than doubling their annual income.
Project Alba has the capacity, skills and ambition to reach even more farmers across Cambodia so that they don't face such an uncertain future.
If you are interested in getting involved in our Research and Development work please get in touch.


text: So i just got my Ak2i today and im running it with a 2gb kingston micro in a DSL...everything works fine with the exception of the 2 following issues...which may not be issues at all and just normal 1. When attempting to flash the ak2i with the 1.4.1 fw when i get to the blue screen at the top it shows R4Dsi instead of AK2i...i downloaded the files from both the noob guide and filetrip...i followed the directions in the noob guide...is it saying R4Dsi at the top normal and is it safe to flash with that file? 2. Any official word on battery draining faster while running an ak2i? i understand constantly accessing the micro sd will cause some extra drain just due to the constant back and forth between hardware....but ive only been messing with my ak2i since 7 and its now 12...so 5 hours and its showing a full green battery at cart select screen but as soon as i hit the ak2i it changes to red...just the other day while playing a real ds cart i had it running for almost 15 hours...not all playing some time was in standby... i just charged the ds this morning...so its coming off a fresh charge so if anyone has any info on either of those or has maybe any recommendations on either...please feel free to drop a post thanks for reading

Travel time from my home in Evans, in Jackson County, to Harpers Ferry, in Jefferson County, is over five hours, but it seemed both longer and shorter as I drove. I will be their "Artist in Residence" this spring, and I couldn't wait to arrive. Other responsibilities had filled the days leading up to this occasion, and I hadn't even had time to get excited.
I met Samantha (Sam) Zurbuch, the Park Volunteer Coordinator. Sam is from Elkins, and has worked at the Park for seven years. She earned her degree from Shepherd University, and was hired by the National Park Service while she was still in school. She has also completed her Masters in Education.
Sam got me up to speed quickly on several activities that are scheduled over the next few days, and introduced me to a few of the Park Staff, including Ranger Chuck at the information center, and Steve Lowe, Park Landscape Architect. There were others, but it was a whirlwind trip on our way to what is known as "Lower Town."
This is primarily where the preserved and public part of historic Harpers Ferry is located. My room is going to be in the old clothing store, just across from the information center. The spire of St. Peter's Catholic Church rises from the hilltop, just behind my apartment.
I have gotten settled into the rooms, carrying my bags up the stairs, and stowing them away. This will be my temporary home for a couple weeks. As I sit here with my feet on the old hardwood floor, I hear a train whistle blowing. I am typing this on my 21st Century laptop, which is sitting on a 19th Century secretary's desk. Truly, this is the past in the present.

Where Does the Formless
Emerge as Form?
by Alice B. Clagett
photo by Alice B. Clagett, 2015
Where does the formless emerge as form?
Where does the Soul meet the Divine?
At the very back of the heart chakra,
at the point where it touches the spine.
From this point life springs, and healing.
Though there be many hearts,

An infamous non-committal playboy, Noda and a naive and caring nice-guy, Kousaka.

They have been casually dating for a while now but Noda starts to realize that this is more than a casual dating. He gradually stops seeing other people and he focuses all of his attention on Kousaka. What has changed him now.? Would they really be together despite that they may hurt eachother's feelings.

Gene Mann
French-Swiss, born 1953
Gene Mann is a largely self-taught artist who makes mixed-media paintings, collages, and sculptures. Mann was trained as an interior designer, and began to develop her artwork in her 20s out of an urgent need for catharsis in response to family experiences. Her approach, rooted drawing with particularly sensitive mark-making, has been called calligraphic. A recurring motif in Mann's work is the human figure, rendered with simple forms and lines. She draws inspiration from both Modernism and the drawings of Francisco Goya. Her work also has an ongoing dialogue with that of Madeleine Spierer, with whom she has shared a life-long friendship and mutual admiration.

A Kent house fire early Sunday displaced three adults and two children, and killed a pet dog.
One of the home's residents noticed the fire and woke the rest of the family up, which allowed them to escape, according to fire officials.
Kent Fire said an 'alert passerby' also noticed the fire and pounded on the front door to be sure the people inside were aware of the danger.
A 911 call came in about 3:30 a.m.; before 4 a.m. the fire was under control.
A Kent Fire Department Investigator declared the cause as "undetermined…with no malice indicated."
The fire began in the garage and moved into the house, causing what is estimated as $75,000 in damage, Kent Fire said.

Special Mid Century Modern Bed
Mid century modern bed – When we make reference to modern dormitories, we do not refer to rooms of cold appearance, that often by ignorance we usually imagine. That is why today we wanted to present through this article, some of its main features, so you can learn more about this type of decoration and why not benefit from it.
Ecological awareness has shaped a number of design trends over the last decade, such as the reuse of reclaimed wood. They are a smart economic and eco-friendly option, for example, recycled wood walls bring textured beauty to contemporary rooms that are dominated by glass, stone and concrete. Of course, these stunning accent walls blend seamlessly into any mid century modern bed style.
Homemade headboards are booming, and there are a lot of variants and possibilities, from cushions to cushions. Many times the decoration of our modern bed becomes somewhat monotonous. A simple way to give life to this space is through the wallpaper. One of the options, much used today, is to use paper that simulates a natural wood veneer. Another effective way to add style to the walls is to build a kind of oversized headboard, upholster it with paper and attach it to the wall just behind the mid century modern bed.

|Isla Fischer as Shopaholic Becky Bloomwood, one of my favorite fictional heroines
So, I have this friend. I've written about her a few times here and here. Ya'll, her eyes are so open and ready to see where and how God is going to speak. You would be amazed at the crazy, unexpected ways He does. Each time we get together, there's always another story of how God was so faithful, so specific, and so totally crazy, it just had to be Him. It's so encouraging and inspiring to be friends with her…I'll confess, sometimes I leave a little jealous that I don't see God as frequently, but usually, I leave in awe of our God who is so alive, so active, and so clearly moving.
Last week, I was sitting in my favorite little corner of our house, in my beloved swivel rocker looking out the big window in our living room. For whatever reason, there were like fifteen birds chirp, chirp, chirping away and one cardinal that I was particularly taken by. Have you ever really stopped and looked at birds? I can't say I typically take the time to study them, but I was strangely drawn to this little bird and her beauty, energy, and freedom. I did think the influx of birds was a little odd, but I decided to continue my morning routine…I sat in my chair and opened the Bible. Any guess to what verse I happened to stumble upon? That little passage in Matthew that talks about worrying, seeking, birds, flowers, and clothes.
Here's where we get to the confession: I love shopping. Not only do I love to shop, but I LOVE clothes! Unfortunately, the small clothing budget that I've had has pretty much gone from minimal to non-existent as we settle into grad school (though I did squeeze in a fabulous business school gift for myself right before we had to tighten our purse strings…who says I can't plan ahead?!) It's not that I'm forbidden to shop, but I'm trying so hard to be good and make wise choices. With fall weather swooshing in, it's hard—there are blazers, cardigans, boots, wedges, and work dresses calling my name.
Is this a major problem? Certainly not! But even something as little as my shopping struggles matter to God. So last week, after admiring this beautiful cardinal, and then I unexpectedly turning to Matthew 6, I was trying to take a cue from my friend and pay attention!
At that moment, I felt as if God was saying, "Seek Me. I am more than enough. I am sufficient. I know exactly what you need and I promise to provide for you."
In all of my years of seeking God, I may not get everything I want, but without question, God has been so faithful to go above and beyond to provide me with every single thing I need. He alone, is always, always more than enough!

An interior designer and a carpenter are often perceived as interchangeable artisans by the untrained eyes. Yet this cannot be farther from the truth! Traditionally, carpenters have been our go-to person for household woodwork like creation of wooden cabinets, almirahs, drawers, housing frames etc. An interior designer, on the other hand, specializes in the planning and designing of residential and commercial spaces to aid aesthetics and functionality. Both are skilled in their own right but have stark differences in their job roles that make them poles apart.
A dream home is an ultimate aspiration for many and choosing the right person to build the home is as arduous as the actual activity of construction or renovation. Interior Designing, being a relatively upcoming fad, is still a myth to many who believe that it is the modern namesake for the ubiquitous carpenter. Such people still bet their loyalty and money on a customary carpenter whenever they need any construction related assistance for their homes or offices. Another school of thought exists that associates an interior designer with an obsession of the rich and the elite and these people would rather not spend their precious time and money on these so –called demonstrations of pomp and flamboyance. For them, a carpenter has the requisite skills ranging from building the framework of their house to the ornate detailing on their wooden work.

One must remember though that while a carpenter can do the basic woodwork, yet, they lack the expertise to play with interior design tricks that can transform a tiny apartment to a spacious abode or relegate a large area to a cramped nook. An interior designer acts as a 'design consultant', who can guide you from the start to the finish that includes theme conception and design, sourcing of skilled manpower and raw materials, overseeing and project management of the construction and assisting the interior decor. He or she is usually backed by adequate certifications and testimonials with exhaustive portfolios of past work and client recommendations. In contrast, carpenters typically have their experience to boast of and are doers who have hands-on knowledge of carpentry. Occasionally, senior craftsmen might oversee the relatively newer ones but typically project management is not their strength. While an interior designer will capture the client's needs, current lifestyle, taste and flair to design plans that mirror the expectations, a carpenter will seek specifications from the client and then build according to the design provided. Moreover, interior designers lay significant emphasis on customer satisfaction while routine carpenters are more bothered about getting the job done and ensuring timely payment with customer VOC being relatively insignificant in their priority list. Project management services of an interior designer are a boon for the on-the-go consumer who has little time to spare for the day-to-day nitty- gritty of house building. Carpenters offer no such additional service and clients have to self-manage the entire project. A carpenter can give you a quick start on the work as long as you have the requirement handy. An interior designer will take time to initiate the designing process as several meetings and discussions will be conducted at a preliminary stage to gather client needs accurately. Thus, the latter is usually foolproof with the former running into various design faults at a later stage resulting in significant cost hikes and wastage of time due to rectification requirements.

Interior designers do not come dirt cheap and one might argue the need for the splurge. While a carpenter might be acceptable for elementary designs and simple construction, yet, one should invest in professional interior designers if innovative designs, customer-centric approach and project management services are quintessential for them.

Dear Valued Client,
You have probably noticed a lot of promotion over the past weeks about a program we are co- sponsoring with Chet Holmes, Jay Levingston, and Scott Hallman. This program is specially designed to help retailers. In fact, many of you had a chance to participate in the recent international teleconference summit with several hundred other retailers to explore some of the alarming trends facing the retail industry today. I want to reiterate some facts from that incredible event.
Did you know that:
These are just a few of the staggering statistics uncovered in an extensive research study on the state of the retail industry over that last 50 years and into the next decades that we commissioned. There is much more happening here that meets the eye.
Here is the best part: for about the price of a monthly telephone bill these experts are conducting a year long retail specific business growth program that you can be a integral part of. Over the next 12 months, strategies and tactics will be uncovered during these laboratories that will revolutionize retail. You have a chance to be a part of that.
Finally, you will have all these benefits at absolutely no risk to you. That's right, none! You register to participate, join in the first session over the phone and experience the entire session. After that session, if you don't think that the program is worth the investment of your time and money, you simply call an 800 number and drop out. No charge, no questions, no risk.
I hope that I have been able to impart the importance of this program and how strongly I believe in the benefits you would enjoy from participating in it. This program will mean windfalls and expansion to those who join, work through the sessions, and apply the material to their business. I want YOU to be one of them.
Please reply to this email with any questions you may have or just use the links below to learn more and registerd.
Best Regards,
Kevin McAdam
