Considered a nu-metal staple by music critics, Linkin Park's debut album, Hybrid Theory, seamlessly blends raw hip-hop with an alternative rock sound and has obtained the #2 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as being part of the top 10 in many countries. Named after the Hybrid Theory EP, the Agoura Hills band's underground sound is heavily used as an influence throughout the fourteen-track project.
Released under Warner Bros.' own music label, Warner Bros. Records,, it was recorded during the spring and summer of 2000 at NRG Studios. Additionally, the project was led by four singles, "One Step Closer", "Crawling", "Papercut", and "In the End", each released in 2000 and 2001. Inspired by earlier alternative bands which includes the likes of Depeche Mode, Deftones, Stone Temple Pilots, U2 and even rap group, The Roots, Linkin Park's debut effort has not only been grouped in with the nu-metal genre, but also rap metal, and alternative metal. Its lyrical content touches on themes that late lead singer, Chester Bennigton experienced throughout his childhood: child neglect, drug and alcohol abuse, paranoia, and the divorce of his parents.
Linkin Park's debut album has sold over 30 million copies worldwide as of 2014. Hybrid Theory has not only found success through its fans. It was listed in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die and has been nominated for Best Rock Album at the 44th Grammys in 2002.
All of its songs were remixed and re-released on Linkin Park's 2002 album, Reanimation, which also featured outtakes and bonus tracks from the Hybrid Theory recording sessions.

|The Embassador of Republic of Sudan paid a visit to CASRAD, Food crop Research Insititute Vietnam (FCRI)
|Thursday, 21 August 2014 00:00
On 21st August, MR. SAYED ALTAYEB AHMED – the Embassador of Republic of Sudan has paid a visit to CASRAD. Mr.Dao The Anh, Vice director of Food Crop Research Institute Vietnam cum CASRAD director, had a warm welcome and meeting with the Embassador.
Mr.Dao The Anh had a brief introduction of the structure and activities of FCRI together with CASRAD to the Embassador as well as some co-operations of the FCRI and some African countries in general and Sudan in particular. This visit is to make the memorandum of co-operation into reality, which was signed by both goverments in 2013.
The Embassador had a compliment on the relationships between two countries in recent years, silmutaneously confirmed that the co-operative relationship in agriculture is a promising one to encourage. According to the Embassador, to Sudan, the potentiality of human and land is very big. However, there is a lack of agricultural-producing projects so every year, Sudan has spent a big amount of money to import food. Despite the above potentiality, the lack of legal frame as well as a shortage of technical consultance for agricultural production has made food security alarming. The Embassador is confused about solutions for the mentioned problems, and expressed the intention of visiting VAF together with other members to study the management experience and technical sharing.
On Vietnam side, Mr.Dao The Anh assumed that an exchange of Sudan team and Vietnam team is necessart to suppose some projects which support Sudan in solving difficulties in agricuture. These projects need general research from field research, technical study to agriculture promoting policies in Sudan. PhD Dao The Anh also invited the Embassador to visit agricutural esearch institutes in Vietnam in the suitable time.
The Embassador showed his approval the visit and exchanges between the two countries and promised to find co-operative opportunities in special projects sponsored by the two Governments and investors.

Another delightful board book from Sandra Boynton! Children learn the sounds animals make in a clever little rhyme.
Positives: Simple language and fun illustrations make this book attractive to toddlers. I love the ending where she gives her young readers the opportunity to respond! I also love the interaction this book invites between parent and child.
Negatives: None
Talking Points: What an amazing Creator God is! So imaginative! Talk to your child about the wonders of creation. How did God come up with so many different animals? And how did he decide what sounds they would make? Use Genesis 1 as a basis for continued conversation.
Age Level: 0-4

Arlington Heights District 25 will shut down Berkeley School after the close of the summer session of 1992. The recommendation from School Supt. Daniel B. Keck was approved by the school board last week.
The departure of the Northwest Special Education Organization, which uses about half of the school building, prompted the move, Keck said earlier. The surrounding neighborhoods do not generate enough pupils to keep the school open, according to Keck.

We can't resist an original red GTI with snowflake wheels, even one with eye watering price. Rebuilds and upgrades notwithstanding the $13,995 asking price is astronomical for a car with 215k miles on it. That said, we keep clicking through the photos and grinning so maybe the seller is onto something.
This 1984 Volkswagen GTI is our preferred red color and is claimed to have its original paint. It looks very sharp in the photos so it was either extremely well cared for, repainted, or photographed and lit by a skilled photographer.
The inside looks good with NOS upholstery presenting almost too brightly against 30 year old faded red plastic. Except for some fading, the dash looks to be in nice shape and free of cracks. We can't recall if sunroofs were an option on the 84's but we're happy not to find one here.
The 1.8 motor has been "freshly rebuilt" but no details are given other than the rebuild involved a "fresh bottom end." Photos show a very clean motor with the vent plastic that usually cracks and crumbles to be in good shape which we take as a positive sign of care. A large aluminum radiator jumps out as overkill but may be appropriate for this VW's Texas environment.
The GTI was always about handling and this one should be great fun with upgraded Bilstein shocks and polyurethane bushings. Rebuilt brakes and fresh 185/60/14 tires should let this GTI relive its 1984 SCCA glory days and more.
The $13,995 asking price strikes us as about 100% out of line so it will be interesting to see where this one lands. If the seller gets anything near it we'll have to start stockpiling all of the sub-1k GTIs we can get our hands on and hope they pay for our kid's tuition in 15 years.

The 1984/85 European Cup campaign was always going to be about two teams - the holders and four times winners Liverpool and the free spending, star studded Juventus who were still chasing their first ever European Cup win. Graeme Souness, Liverpool's hard tackling and inspirational captain had left for Sampdoria, but they had brought in the strong and hard running John Wark from Ipswich and tricky forward Paul Walsh from Luton. Juventus had kept the majority of their 1983 European Cup Final team together and had regained the Serie A title a year earlier as well as winning the Cup-Winners Cup.
The holders had to begin their campaign in Poland - the country where they had last been knocked out of the competition. This time they were up against Lech Poznan whose manager had stated beforehand that if his team did not reach the last four he would resign. Even without Rush, Johnston and the departed Souness in the team, however, Liverpool were able to produce a typically professional European away performance as they proceeded to dominate the game in Poland. Having survived a scare when Adamiec headed against the crossbar, Liverpool gained a crucial away lead when Wark timed his run into the penalty area perfectly to finish off a Sammy Lee cross. The return match in England saw Wark score another three times as Liverpool went through 5-0 on aggregate.
Liverpool v Lech Poznan
Wark was not the only hat-trick hero of the first round as Paolo Rossi, not to be outdone, scored three to go alongside Michel Platini's penalty in Finland as Juventus thrashed Tampere 4-0. Platini then scored another two in a 2-1 second leg win.
Tampere v Juventus
Elsewhere, several of the traditionally strong footballing countries found themselves without any representation in the competition as their teams went out in the opening round. German champions Stuttgart could only draw 2-2 at home with Levski Spartak of Bulgaria after a 1-1 first leg draw and went out on away goals. Scotland's Aberdeen were well placed as they led Dynamo Berlin 2-0 going into the last 10 minutes of their home leg, but let in a late goal to put the tie back in the balance. In Berlin Aberdeen were again looking like favourites with the score at 1-1 until they conceded a goal with 6 minutes left and went on to lose on penalties. The Dutchmen of Feyenoord also went out at the first hurdle as they followed a 0-0 draw with a 2-1 defeat in Greece against Panathinaikos. Athletic Bilbao were unfortunate to be paired with a Bordeaux side that contained famous French stars such as Battiston, Lacombe, Giresse and Tigana as well as the German forward Dieter Muller. Bilbao did manage to gain a 2-1 lead in France but were eventually beaten 3-2 and went out after a 0-0 draw in Spain in which they had two goals disallowed which saw the crowd pelt the referee with missiles. Red Star Belgrade also went out despite recovering from being 2-0 down at half-time in their home leg against Benfica to record an impressive 3-2 win. With 20 minutes remaining in Lisbon Red Star were still ahead, but two late goals from Carlos Manuel sent Benfica through and the Yugoslavs out.
There was always likely to be trouble in store when Linfield of Northern Ireland with their staunchly Protestant fan base were drawn to play Shamrock Rovers of the Irish Republic, and so it proved. Despite being played in the afternoon for security reasons and with all surrounding streets and schools being closed, there were still ugly clashes between police and supporters as Linfield followed a goalless draw at home with a 1-1 scoreline in the return match to progress on away goals.
Linfield were not expected to go any further in the competition, especially when they were drawn against former European Cup finalists Panathinaikos. The Greeks, however, were given a shock in Athens when the Irish team took an early lead and only a penalty given for handball and a winner three minutes from time gave them a slender first leg lead. Panathinaikos were given an even greater shock back in Belfast when they found themselves 3-0 down after just 26 minutes. They fought back, however, through a Saravakos penalty on 29 minutes and further goals from Rocha (33 minutes) and Antonio (63 minutes) and survived a late scare when Rocha was sent off 7 minutes from time to edge through to the quarter-finals.
Going into the second round, Liverpool were in the midst of a domestic crisis. Having just lost at home to their Merseyside rivals Everton and having amassed only 11 points from 11 league games, it seemed that they were not the powerful force of old which may have given some hope to Benfica their next opponents. But although Liverpool were some way below their best, the intelligence of Dalglish and the finishing of Rush were enough to give them a 3-1 win at home with Rush scoring all three. The second leg, however, was a very different affair. After four days of constant lashing rain, the Stadium of Light pitch was almost unplayable with the ball often stopping in puddles. Liverpool hoped to see out the opening stages in their customarily professional way, but their plans had to be torn up when Grobbelaar brought down Jorge Silva in the penalty area and Manniche scored from the penalty spot. The holders then found themselves hanging on to their aggregate lead. As the game approached half-time, however, there was great controversy as Liverpool's Dalglish and Benfica's Pietra were sent off after squaring up to each other. The game then became more open with Grobbelaar being forced to make several good saves while Rush hit the woodwork at the other end before the game finished with Liverpool going through 3-2 on aggregate.
Liverpool v Benfica
Juventus had little trouble in dispensing with Grasshoppers of Zurich. Goals from Vignola and Rossi gave them a 2-0 win in Turin and two from Platini helped Juve to a 4-2 win in Switzerland. Also through were Bordeaux although they had to work hard to get the better of Dinamo Bucharest. Having gone to Romania with a 1-0 lead, Bordeaux were pegged back by a 9th minute Dinamo goal and it was not until the 23rd minute of extra time that Lacombe scored to put the French side into the last eight.
Liverpool were now without the suspended Dalglish for the quarter-final, but they fortunately avoided any of their main rivals when they were drawn against FK Austria. In Vienna they were rocked when a 25 yard Polster thunderbolt gave the Austrians a first half lead, but they scored a crucial equaliser with just 5 minutes remaining when a free-kick was only parried by the goalkeeper and Nicol first scooped the ball onto the bar and then nodded in the rebound. At Anfield Liverpool had little trouble as they won 4-1 with Walsh scoring two and missing a late penalty.
Bordeaux looked as though they would overwhelm Russian champions Dnipro as they took the lead through Lacombe on ten minutes and were awarded a penalty 10 minutes later, but goalkeeper Sergei Krakovski saved Dieter Mullers penalty and despite constant Bordeaux pressure, Lyuty's 43rd minute equaliser was the only further goal and so the Ukrainians were well placed for the return leg on their home territory. The second game was played in Krivy Rog because Dniepropietrovsk was closed to foreigners and Bordeaux requested that it be postponed for 24 hours after they were delayed due to fog, but UEFA refused and the game went ahead as planned. After 90 minutes of play and a further 30 minutes of extra time the score was 1-1 and so the tie was decided by a penalty shootout in which Bordeaux held their nerve to win 5-3.
Two players were sent off and seven booked as Panathinaikos gained a 1-0 win in a rugged encounter away to IFK Gothenburg. The winning goal came from a penalty on 50 minutes after the Greek Dimopoulos was brought down by the Swedish goalkeeper and Saravakos converted the penalty. In Athens it was another Saravakos penalty that proved decisive when, with only 12 minutes remaining and Gothenburg leading 2-1 and ahead on away goals, Saravakos was brought down in the penalty area and got up to score the crucial penalty himself.
Juventus continued their comfortable progress through the competition with a 3-0 first leg win over Sparta Prague courtesy of goals from Tardelli, Briaschi and Rossi. A late goal for Sparta was not enough to cause the Italians much concern in the second leg.
Juventus v Sparta Prague
The semi-finals appeared to be decided after both first legs had been played. Liverpool were drawn against Panathinaikos who were considered to be the weakest of the remaining four teams. The Greeks set out to nullify the Liverpool attack in the first leg in England and looked to be succeeding as they passed the half hour mark with the score still 0-0. In fact, the Greeks could even have been leading if their goal on 15 minutes had not been disallowed for offside. But on 35 minutes goalkeeper Laftsis could not hold a speculative drive from MacDonald and Wark was on hand to put away the rebound. In the few minutes after half-time Rush sealed victory with goals from a left-wing and a right-wing cross into the penalty area. When Dalglish, now returned from suspension, floated in a free kick for Beglin to power home a header to make it 4-0 near the end, the tie was as good as over. Panathinaikos never really threatened to overcome a four goal defeicit in the second leg and Liverpool's dominance was merely emphasised when Lawrenson played a one-two with Whelan before scoring on the hour to achieve a 5-0 aggregate scoreline and book their place in the Final.
Liverpool v Panathinaikos
Juventus were in a similarly strong position after their game at home to Bordeaux. Ironically it was Platini, up against his French international midfield partners Giresse and Tigana who dominated the match. It was Platini whose 30 yard pass on the half hour put Boniek through to score the opening goal. Then on 68 minutes Platini put Briaschi away and he shrugged off a French defender before doubling Juve's lead. Then just two minutes later it was Platini himself who rifled home a Boniek cross to make the score 3-0. With a three goal lead, Juventus were expected to progress as comfortably as Liverpool had done, but Bordeaux were to give them some nervous moments first. Juventus had early chances in France to increase their aggregate lead, but it was Dieter Muller for Bordeaux who opened the scoring in the first half with a header to give the home side some hope. With ten minutes remaining and Bordeaux in desperate need of a goal Battiston hit a 30 yard shot which went in off the post to set up a grandstand finish. If Bodini had not made a brilliant save in the last minute to deny Tigana, there would have been extra-time and Bordeaux with the crowd and momentum behind them would have been favourites, but Juventus just managed to hang on and go through to the final 3-2 on aggregate.
Juventus v Bordeaux
And so Europe looked forward to the 'Dream Final' in Brussels between the two teams that had dominated the 1984/85 competition from the start. Juventus had the big stars but they had lost two European Cup finals before and had nearly cracked under Bordeaux pressure in the semi-final. Liverpool had endured a disappointing domestic season and were considered to be less impressive than they had been in previous seasons, but they had plenty of European Cup experience and had shown a year earlier how they could win a European Cup final against the odds.
Tragically, the game was a mere footnote to the horror that was the Heysel Disaster. 39 innocent Juventus supporters were killed when Liverpool followers charged a section of Juventus fans. The Italian supporters rushed to the corner of their section to get away from the violence and a crush ensued which resulted in a wall collapsing. Controversially the game went ahead - almost an hour and a half late - in an attempt to stop further violence occurring. There are differing accounts concerning whether the players were aware of the full horror that had occurred in the stadium that evening, but most people regarded the match itself as an irrelevance. For the record, after an hour Boniek was brought down by Gillespie and, although the foul seemed to be outside the penalty area, the referee pointed the spot and Platini scored from the resulting penalty. Juventus won 1-0 and lifted the European Cup for the first time, but they could not have done so in more tragic circumstances.
Sympathy was undoubtedly due to Juventus who had strived for so long to achieve their Holy Grail of winning the European Cup. They had finally achieved their goal, but there was little cause for celebration. Football mourned one of the darkest days in its history and looked to find ways of ensuring that such a tragedy could never happen again. Juventus were indeed European champions, but much more important was the memory of the 39 people who on May 29th 1985 went to a football match and never came back.

Best Regions for Small-Cap Growth
11/09/2012 10:00 am EST
Focus: GLOBAL
Small-cap manager Jim Oberweis discusses the three main global small-cap regions, and explains which ones are his favorites now.
What's happening in global small caps? We're here with Jim Oberweis, who is going to tell us what's really going on beyond US shores.
Sure. I think you can divide the world into three components—it's called North America, Europe, and Asia. I think they're all in very different stages.
Europe, I think, continues to be bogged down by economic macro problems and really political problems of aligned leaders all in one space. Things are getting a little better than they were. I think there is still a lot of dust that needs to be settled.
Asia? Asia is slowing mostly because of Europe. About 25% of China's economy stems from exports to Europe. However, it's fully discounted stock prices right now. Valuations in China for small-cap Chinese companies are lower than they were in 2008. It's the only market in the world where we're seeing that right now.
We're very enthusiastic about China, just because stocks are so cheap and that the policies that slowed the Chinese economy besides slower exports like rising interest rates and tighter credit are now being reversed. Interest rates are being decreased and credit is being loosened. That should kick in in 2013. I think it will drive valuations for Chinese equities substantially higher.
In the Asia space, is there any interest on your part in Japan, where they're starting to rebuild after the tsunami and the nuclear incident?
Japanese small caps have been driving our Overweight Opportunities Fund this year. It's actually been a really good place to be. It's been a good place for a couple of reasons.
- Because some of the factors with regard to the economy doing OK despite really lackluster expectations;
- Because valuations were so low.
If you're going to ask me where I would park money for the next decade, it would be in China. China has market opportunities that are really unprecedented in areas like smartphone development, where only a small percentage of the population right now has smartphones.
It's a major issue with the government, and disposable income is rising. The companies that's strong in that space are actually pretty well positioned.|pagebreak|
Generally speaking, when you would say smartphones, Americans would think well, I mean obviously you'll have Apple (AAPL) moving into that space and you'll have Motorola and you'll have these companies. What you're saying is that basically you're going to be looking at Chinese companies—local companies taking over the local market or at least moving into that local market and the global market, right?
I would look at all three. I would look at companies that make components that go into smartphones. I would look at smartphones for companies like Apple. So even like US companies like InvenSense (INVN) or Sirius (SIRI), those are well positioned.
There is going to be a market in Asia that will buy those phones, but I would also look downstream. Companies like Spreadtrum (SPRD) that makes local Chinese lower-cost phones, $100-type phonies.
Then there are companies that provide auxiliary services, companies like NetQin (NQ) that make software that reside on top of cell phones to prevent spam and malware from entering the phones. There are a lot of opportunities surrounding the overall macro play.
Given just the population density and the rising export linking with China, the companies surrounding that central theme are likely to do pretty well even if GDP overall in China slows due to slow exports.
Because you're still going to have that domestic demand that's going to drive it.
You got it.
Exogenous forces like outside demand doesn't really matter.
That's right.
There are also, I would assume, companies to watch inside other spaces in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Instead of going with home companies that are more directly involved in those markets, you think the Chinese companies are probably the better play?
Yeah. I was in Indonesia earlier this year for exactly that purpose. We went down and visited a lot of companies. I have to say honestly, overall I'm more excited about China, mostly because of valuations again really pounced on. Indonesia started to look interesting when China's valuations peaked, because it was difficult to find and you can get the same confidence in returns.
Chinese valuations have bottomed now. They're about as low as I've ever seen in the last decade right now. Not because of the market—we're up 15% this year in China—but because the earnings have appreciated faster than stock prices, driving valuations lower even to mid decent appreciation this year.
So I think Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam are really tied to the engine of China's growth. I think I'd rather just play it pure.
Vietnam, interesting country, great development. The way to play Vietnam is through private equity, not through public equity. Public equity markets are just too corrupt.

Prelims/B-Champs – A Tutorial
At the finish of the dual meet season, all swimmers are eligible to participate in the championship season. Swimmers that reach a qualifying time standard swim at the Division Preliminaries. Those who haven't reached a qualifying time swim at the B-Championship meet. Results from B-Champs can move a swimmer into prelims if it betters the prelim standard.
The fastest six swimmers in each event at the Prelims move on to the Northern Division Finals. To qualify for the All-City Meet, a swimmer's time at Northern Division is compared to the Southern Division results. The fastest six results, regardless of North or South affiliation, are entered in the All-City Championship meet.
*All swimmers participating in prelims must be available to swim at the All-City Championship meet.
Timing System – A Note From Dan Comden (Master Timer)
(Reprint from last year)
Hello Aqua Club Parents!
We appreciate your willingness to assist with timing during swim meets. Without your help, we could not operate our home events. There appears to have been some confusion about our new timing system and watches and this will hopefully clear up any questions.
Our new wireless stopwatches should increase accuracy and result in more uniform timing. However they work differently than stopwatches you have used in the past. They are remotely reset so the reset button on these watches performs differently than you may have experienced with classic stopwatches. Typically you will only use the reset button in one case: after the start of a race when there is no swimmer in your lane.
Paying attention is still an important trait of a good timer. Your focus must be on the swimmer in your lane as they are finishing in order to hit the button precisely when they touch the wall.
If you helped as a timer in the last couple of years, these new watches are similar to the pickle buttons we have used in the past, which were activated only when the swimmer in your lane finished.
As the watches are all started simultaneously when the starter begins the race, you only need to stop the watch when the swimmer in your lane finishes. There is a split function that allows you to press the button during the race. If this is done (on purpose or accidentally), press the black button again and the watch should display running time (also represented by the clock icon in the upper right of the display). No time will be lost. Just be sure to stop the watch when the swimmer in your lane finishes. Be careful not to hit the button after the race finishes or a new later time will be recorded on your watch for that lane and swimmer.
Timing Basics
1. Do not press any button at the start of the race.
2. Press either black button when the swimmer finishes their race.
3. If you accidentally hit the black button before the swimmer finishes, DO NOT PANIC, just hit the button again to exit split mode and then press the button when the swimmer finishes.
4. Do not press Reset after the swimmer finishes.
5. Do not press the black button again after the finish -- a new later time will be recorded if you do.
6. Press reset AFTER the race start if there is no swimmer in your lane. If you do this by mistake, hit the black button to resume timing.

We drove to Vegas. We packed the truck with food, ski gear, and clothes for two weeks. After Vegas we collected a friend, drove to Colorado for a few days, and then continued on to Montana for a 10 day ski trip. It was a crazy couple of weeks, but we made it and had a pretty great time in the mountains and snow. I guess you could call this our winter. And that's all I really want from winter, two weeks.
The reason for our road trip to Vegas was a conference that Travis' company, Westwerk was sponsoring. Prestige is a business-focused WordPress Conference with great speakers and even better swag. Thanks for the t-shirts and blanket. We love them! The WordPress industry is an anomaly out there. They are a really tight knit group of people that is willing to help out and lend a hand whenever necessary. You really don't see that in any other industry. As an outsider, I really don't understand too much of what they are discussing. However, I am running this blog all by myself. I can add cuts and pictures without Trav's help. Woot! Anyway, it is amazing to get to see this crazy good of people every few months at various conferences. We are like one big, happy, technically-minded, nerdy family.
While we were in Vegas we stayed at the Riviera Resort and Casino. Don't stay there. Oh wait, you can't. They are closing it down in May and blowing it up! It's one of the oldest hotels on the strip and has become a bit of a crap hole. The service was pretty terrible and the room was kinda icky. It was really just a place to sleep as we were out with friends and exploring the town most of the time.
Friday we got to explore The Strip for a few hours. We had brunch at a little French cafe under the Eiffel Tower. Porter especially loved the eggs. This was our first trip to Vegas so everything was new. The experience was interesting to say the least. The sheer volume of people was overwhelming to a group of introverts. But I'm glad we got to explore a bit. The most exciting part of the day was actually going back to our friend's hotel (The Mandarin Oriental), sitting pool side, doing homework. It was so peaceful. In the midst of the Strip, it was a welcome afternoon. I guess I'm not a Vegas girl.
On Saturday, I dropped the guys off at the conference and met up with a friend to get a pedicure and have lunch. We decided to go to the Bellagio. I knew it would be expensive, but we were not disappointed. We did lunch at the hotel as well. It was delicious and my pedicure was divine. The spa was beautiful! I even got a cup of tea during the massage. Pure bliss! After the appointment, I met up with another friend, from high school! We talked about old friends, high school, and what we are doing now. It was really fun! The rest of the evening was spent at the conference after party (giant beanbags, bear pong, and yummy appetizers) and then off to dinner with the folks from WPEngine. They sure do get a lot of air time on this blog. Haha! They really are a great company with amazing people.
Sunday morning we grabbed coffee from Starbucks, picked up our friend Jeff, and hit the road for Denver. The drive was fairly uneventful, until we got about an hour from Denver. Then it started to snow, the freeway went from three lanes to two (just because we couldn't see the lines), and we were all hungry and crabby from being in the car all day. A quick stop at Old Chicago (or as my mother-in-law calls it, Chicago Pizza) and we were ready to make the rest of the trip to Westminster. Our Residence Inn was a welcome site after a day in the truck. The silver lining was that Porter took his first steps in the snow and he really liked it, for about 5 minutes, then he wants to be picked up. And because Porter was in the truck all day, he was a little terror that night. Running around like crazy and keeping his humans up way too late.
I have been working a lot on a new project for the Will Steger Foundation (my place of employment, if you didn't know). We are creating a new curriculum using the Next Generation Science Standards as the framework. You don't have to know what that means, just know that it's really exciting for me. You can read about it soon, on a blog post I am putting together for work. But here is the link to the most current Climate Lessons Update that I did for work last month. Lots of stuff happening in the climate change world. And there are lots of great resources for homeschoolers.
Denver was really great. It was really our first trip there, except for a few trips through the airport. It was a little chilly, so our winter jackets had to come out for the first time. Porter got to wear his jackets too. If you thought he was cute before, take a look at him with a sweater on. Oh my! The best part about Denver was being able to grab lunch with my cousin. We went to Watercourse foods twice while we were there. The first time was so good that we had to go back to try more. It's an odd concept for a vegetarian to be able to chose anything from the menu. The menu was totally vegan and the food was delicious. Even better than the veggie burgers and vegan mac and cheese were the vegan milkshakes. Because we went there for two meals we got to try all of the flavors between the three of us: banana, chocolate, and chai.
After leaving Denver we spent a night in Billings (the trip all the way to Big Sky in one day would have been really long), and then left for Bozeman and Big Sky the next morning. Stay turned for another post of our crazy road trip. We spent 10 days in Big Sky, skiing and relaxing.

Today is the day I have been working toward for the last year, my first figure competition. My mom reminded me that I announced my decision to get on stage one year ago almost to the day. It was a decision that I made and a journey that neither John or me knew anything about but we were on this journey together. We learned a lot along the way.
I believe that my journey started six months ago when I began working with Emily as my coach. Six months of dedication, hard work, a great support system, John, my family, and friends, got me to the stage.
I am excited. I wouldn't say nervous but maybe anxious. I don't know what to expect as I have nothing to compare this to.
This journey has been all about preparation and support and today is no different. I have my meals packed, my suit, heels, jewelry, and tools in case my suit breaks.
Schedule for the day:
Wake up: 4:30am
I made myself a cup of coffee to sip on since I would not be able to function without it, and off I go.
5:oo I left the house for the Holiday Inn Express in Sycamore IL, the host hotel for the OCB show.
6:00 I arrived and had meal one—2 oz flank steak and ½ cup oatmeal.
6:20 the makeup artists arrived and we began work. I was glad to have two of them as it took quite some time- a good 40 minutes.
7:00 left hotel for the Egyptian Theater in Dekalb, IL
7:20 arrived at the Egyptian Theater
7:30 Tanning
8:00 Getting ready/waiting for the competitor meeting (I was supposed to have meal 2 now, but I forgot to eat)
10:00 Competitor Meeting
11:00 Show starts
2:00pm T-Walk Routines (optional for this show)
3:30pm Awards
Arriving at the theater, I didn't know where to go. There were no signs to direct competitors. I did see someone who directed me to go downstairs backstage. Once downstairs, off to the immediate left was what the show designated as the oil room (where competitors get sprayed with Pam prior to going on stage). Just beyond that was a dressing area with ample outlets and cubby holes/shelving to store personal belongings. There were other dressing areas further back and the male competitors seemed to be all the way in the back.
After getting a lay of the land downstairs, I took my bag and went back upstairs and got in line for spray tanning. In line in front of me was Jen, a woman I met the night before at registration. There was a comfort level in knowing someone, and I'm glad that I found Jen.
As a figure competitor, I received two light coats of spray tan. Once dry, I went downstairs and set myself up in the front dressing area where Jen and a few other women were set up. I used this time before the competitor meeting to prep. I touched up my hair and used my band to pump up my muscles.
Just before the competitor meeting, I had my next meal only to realize that I forgot to eat at 8:00. I was not that hungry so it wasn't on my radar plus I was caught up in the excitement and preparation for the show.
At the competitor meeting, the promoter provided show timing starting at 11 and running straight through ending at 4:00pm. Most shows have a 3-4 hour break between pre-judging and awards. The OCB had considered running the show straight through for ten years and this was the first show in which they are testing the format. During the meeting, the promoter provided information regarding overall winners in open and novice divisions. Competitors in those divisions who place first would receive their Pro card and be subjected to urine testing. If the winning competitors did not get tested within 3 hours of the show they would lose their Pro card. Since this is a natural show drug testing is critical.
After the meeting, all competitors went back downstairs to get ready. I learned from Jen, who had competed in a prior show, that now is the time to put your suit on and use glue to hold it in place. I bought 3M Adhesive spray and Elmer's adhesive spray. I used the 3M because Emily mentioned that this is the one that she uses to ensure that her suit does not move. There is really no science to applying the glue. You basically spray the glue in the areas where you want the suit to stick. I sprayed all over to ensure my suit would not move.
Now was the waiting period to go on stage and the time to pump up muscles. I brought a band to pump but noticed that a few competitors used 10lb dumbbells.
Competitors lined up by class (Bikini, Figure, Men's Physique, and Men's Body Building), division Masters 40+, Novice, and Open, and number.

The Oral Steroids Winstrol & Anavar:The Oral Steroids Winstrol & Anavar:The Oral Steroids Winstrol & Anavar:vWhile both of these oral steroids can be used for both bulking and cutting, most male anabolic steroid users will be better served using them as a part of a leaning or cutting cycle. Neither drug will produce abundant gains in size but they serve as a well refined tool in terms of holding on to strength as well as helping produce a harder physique. As it pertains to Winstrol, some may find a more suitable use during an off-season period in conjunction with other anabolic steroids; an increase in strength is always a welcomed attribute but do not expect to see the scale move upward in serious fashion due to Winstrol use. The same cannot be said of Anavar; most men will find Anavar suited only for cutting cycles but be aware, there are far better suited anabolic steroids we can use for this purpose but don't be fooled, Anavar does have a place in both bulking and cutting cycles. Anavar is not only one of the best oral steroids for females it is one of the best anabolic steroids for female's period. Due to its very mild effects Anavar is one of the safest anabolics a woman can use and in general at a very low dose and still see fantastic results. Anavar can be successfully used by women during both bulking and cutting cycles quite well.
As for individual use of a personal nature, outside therapeutic treatment, this is where we will find the vast majority of anabolic steroids. It is here we will also find the biggest problems, not in terms of ill-effects of a physical or mental nature but of those surrounding legality. In places like the . anabolic steroids are controlled substances, and here we will find the strictest of laws. This has created a new class of criminal; most commonly an adult man with a family who is simply living an every day life like everyone else. These are issues that need to be discussed and you will find very few are willing to touch them unlike .
Drugs such as Nolvedex bind to the oestrogen receptors , therefore reducing the effects of the heightened oestrogen in the body. Such drugs do nothing to reduce the amount of oestrogen in the body; they merely reduce its effects via competition for the receptors . If the user wishes to reduce the amount of oestrogen they should look to drugs such as proviron and anastrozole , which are known as anti-aromatases - . they lower the conversion of the steroid to oestrogen and therefore reduces the overall amount of oestrogen present.

Oh, the stinging irony, why old universe, thy villain, why must you save a life with such a thing that causes immeasurable annoyance and pain?! WHY?!
Today, while grooming my horse, a spider crawled onto my ear. As if that was bad enough, I'm extremely arachnophobic, so I shrieked out of habit, which in turn caused my horse to freak out and kick me. FML

12 simple steps to embracing a vegan lifestyle
Transitioning to a vegan lifestyle can be tricky. Here's how to make the process as smooth as possible and ensure that you're able to withstand those meaty temptations!
Thinking about veganism? Worried that you'll cave at the first sight of bacon? Whether you're planning to transition for health reasons, the environment, animal rights or all of the above, this lifestyle transition can seem very daunting! Take a look at the following guidelines to make the process as smooth as possible and ensure that you're able to withstand those meaty temptations… no matter how mouth-watering they may be.
1. Take it slow
I became vegan three times before I actually became vegan. The first time, cheese got me. The second time, PMS. Part of the problem in both cases was that I attempted to go cold turkey – not pun intended. While this method works for some people (including me, the third time around), it's extremely challenging for your brain and your body. When your system is used to being fed a certain amount of nutrients, it will get angry if those requirements suddenly aren't met. If you're a vegetarian transitioning to vegan, things will be easier. Your body will not feel as though it's starving. But if you're a ravenous carnivore who eats meat at every meal, don't expect that you'll be able to cut animal products out of your diet without looking back. I mean, maybe you can. Maybe you're the queen of will power. Who am I to say otherwise? But for most of us normal humans, switching to a plant-based diet should be approached with patience. Trick your body by gradually cutting one product at a time. First milk, then yogurt, then fish. Take it one day at a time and I promise you things will be much easier.
When your system is used to being fed a certain amount of nutrients, it will get angry if those requirements suddenly aren't met.
2. Do your research
This blog is not an adequate amount of information on which to build your vegan foundation. It is simply a guide – a rough outline, if you will – that contains the bare minimum when it comes to health. I did not reference any scientific articles during the writing of this post, but I suggest that you do. As soon as you're done reading this, go buy a book on vegan nutrition, or spend a few days reading all the credible info you can find online.
3. Rehearse your reason
Unlike the large percentage of people in this world who survive on a diet of complex carbohydrates, alcohol and refined sugar, vegans get asked all the time why they eat what they eat. They get questioned, on a weekly basis, how they're able to meet their nutritional needs. I once had a man ask me this as he ate a piece of chocolate cake. So, despite how ridiculous it may seem, prepare a justification for why you eat a plant-based diet. If you're anything like me, you're not very good at remembering stats and scientific data. If that's the case, choose a simple explanation. I feel healthier. I love animals and believe they deserve equal rights. Whatever your reasoning is, write it down and memorize it. And be forewarned, people will always have comebacks. You will endure many debates with people whom you will never see eye to eye with. My brother is a hunter. We once had a heated discussion about veganism as he plucked the feathers from a limp goose that he had shot only moments before. Just stick to your beliefs, accept that you can't change everyone, and move on.
Stick to your beliefs and accept that you can't change everyone.
4. Don't feel the need to justify it
Despite everything I just said, you don't actually need a reason to be a vegan. It's completely unfair and bad-mannered that people ask vegans why they are vegans. If you get tired of justifying it – and you will – simply start telling all those nosy probers that it's a personal choice. Then ask them why they eat what they eat and see how they respond.
5. Learn how to cook
If you have a lot of money and can afford to get all of your meals from the tasty little vegan restaurant down the street, fine. Ignore this point. For the rest of you, listen up. This is quite crucial. If you don't know how to cook, you're going to have to learn. Vegans cannot eat microwave dinners. They cannot eat a lot of things, actually. Which means that the only way to sustain a vegan lifestyle is to educate yourself on the workings of your kitchen. Buy a vegan cookbook, flip to the glossary and painstakingly begin to study the terminology. There will be ingredients and methods and tools that you've never heard of, and it's bound to get ugly for a while. But eventually, as with everything, the dawn will break. Just like that, you won't have to eat only salads anymore. It will be rewarding and enlightening and beautiful.
6. Buy a cooler
Most people in this world are completely and utterly unaware of how to cook for a vegan. Here's a conversation that you can expect to have time and time again:
"I made you _________ without the meat!"
"Is there cheese in it?"
So invest in a cooler and learn to bring a few backup meals everywhere you go. You'll look a bit silly but at least you won't go hungry.
7. Expect to make mistakes
Here's another personal anecdote. About two months into veganism, I purchased some spinach and artichoke dip. I brought it home, opened up a box of crackers, and polished off the entire container. Licked it clean. Moments later, as I was washing the remnants of the dip from my hands and face, my wife beckoned me from out on the balcony. Turns out, the dip wasn't vegan. Not at all, in fact. It contained both cream and eggs, and they were both primary ingredients. So, lesson number one: never trust food that's too creamy. If it's that good, it's probably not vegan. Always read labels to be sure. Lesson number two: don't beat yourself up if you fall off the wagon. On this particular occasion, I sobbed. I'm not forgiving of failure and I took this circumstance as a sign that I wasn't fit to be a part of the vegan community any longer. But the truth is, it really doesn't matter. There is no vegan world title. So shake it off and forgive yourself.
Don't beat yourself up if you fall off the wagon.
8. Go easy on the soy
This is actually quite a serious issue. Soy is a staple in many vegan diets. It's the main ingredient in tofu, soy milk (obviously), and many vegan meat substitutes. Soy has a lot of nutritional value for vegans, most of all its high protein content. But don't be fooled. It's a hormone disrupting trickster. Soy contains a substance that activates estrogen receptors in the body. Ultimately, this process interferes with normal hormone regulation – a major danger for women and men alike. I could talk all day about the health effects this can have, including increased risk of breast cancer, but for the sake of time, I'll say this: be careful of your soy consumption. Limit it wherever possible and find alternative sources of protein. Just trust me on this one.
9. Go easy on the beans
Maybe you've heard the old rhyme… "Beans, beans, the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you…."
10. Take supplements
This is crucial. If you're not currently taking any vitamins, start to incorporate them into your daily routine. If nothing else, you need to take iron and B12 supplements. I've been a vegetarian for ten years and at the onset of those years I became anemic (low in iron), so I've been popping an iron pill with breakfast for as long as I can remember. But B12 was new to me. I'd never taken it, nor did I know the importance of it. We used to receive B12 from fruits and veggies but, over time and as a result of ground pollution and overuse of the soil, nutrients that once existed naturally in the earth were stripped. Now, the only source of B12 is animal products. Or pills. So if you're going to succeed at not eating meat, you really don't have much of an option.
If nothing else, you need to take iron and B12 supplements.
11. Ask questions
Veganism is becoming more widely embraced throughout North America and this means that we have it way easier than vegans did fifty… even ten years ago. Nowadays, not only is there a wide variety of alternative protein sources, there's also numerous online support groups available. And don't let this scare you. In fact, let it uplift you! There is a wealth of information at your fingertips, so utilize it! There's really no excuse to wonder or be confused about anything anymore because all the answers are out there. All you have to do is ask!
12. Don't give up
Throughout my personal plant-based journey I've learned that the best way to resist temptation (which, it brings me great joy to add, eventually dissipates altogether), is to embrace the wonder of vegan junk food. When I hit the one-month mark of being vegan I nearly threw in the towel merely because I wanted ice cream so bad I thought my head would explode. Then, as if by fate, the universe introduced me to another vegan. I greeted her slowly for fear of startling her, and then asked the one question that had been weighing on my mind for 30 days. "What do you do when you want ice cream?" Her answer brought me to my knees.
"I go get some."
Yes, folks. In nearly every grocery store in North America there is a vegan section. And in that vegan section there is plant-based ice cream and… wait for it… tofacon.
So, really… there's no reason to give up.
Have more questions about veganism? Need a "sponsor" to offer support in times of temptation? Feel free to reach out!

Timothy Truman to take over writing "Conan the Barbarian" ongoing series
Official Press Release
is pleased to announce that after a short stint with
Dark Horse Comics
Hellboy creator Mike Mignola writing the monthly Conan series, Timothy
Truman takes over as the regular writer on the series, as of issue #33.
is pleased to announce that after a short stint with
Current Conan writer Kurt Busiek has decided to amicably move on from
the title to pursue other ventures after an award-winning run of over
two years on the title.
Mignola's short run on the title came about when editor Scott Allie was
seeking out Busiek's replacement. Mignola suggested a bizarre and
haunting adaptation of Robert E. Howard's "The Hall of the Dead"-as
well as encouraging Dark Horse to hire Truman as the permanent
"Truman really has the same sensibilities as Howard," commented
Mignola. "His stuff has that gritty, tough, action-adventure feel, but
he also knows the bigger-than-life pulp-era monster stuff that comes
from the old-fashioned supernatural literature. You can tell he learned
that from reading writers like Howard as opposed to from reading
Busiek agrees. "I'm absolutely thrilled that Dark Horse got Tim Truman
for Conan," said the former Conan scribe. "And I'm not just saying that
because I suggested him. I've been a fan of Tim's work since he did
Scout, way back in the Pleistocene Era, and I think he's terrific at
rough heroics in a brutal, corrupt, decadent world, which suits Conan
beautifully. Heck, if it had been a choice between Tim and me, back
when Dark Horse started the series, I'd have picked Tim."
Cary Nord will continue as the artist for the series. "It was great to
work with a writer of Kurt's caliber", enthused Nord. "It gave me an
amazing opportunity to learn from one of the best in the business. I
look forward to working with Tim Truman. I guarantee we'll keep up the
excitement and intensity in the next chapter of Conan's life."
"Being asked to write Conan was a real surprise-quite literally, the
fulfillment of a childhood dream," commented Tim Truman. "Conan is one
of the very few characters that I've ever been fannish about. I'm an
unrepentant, unreconstructed Robert E. Howard fanboy and have been
since I was twelve years old. Howard's Conan marked every important
character that I've ever done-Grimjack, Scout, Hawkman, Jonah Hex."
Regarding his plans for the series Truman commented, "I want to
maintain the level of wonderful literacy and humanity that Kurt Busiek
brought to the character and series, while adding my own naturally
darker and more intense spin on things. I want to keep the humanity and
character interactions, while at the same time injecting even more of
Howard's poetic, dime-novel darkness into the mix. Luckily, we're
entering a phase of Conan's career, chronologically, where it will fit
really well."
After Mignola's chilling adaptation of "The Hall of the Dead," Truman
and Nord pick up plot threads laid out by Busiek, Mignola, and Howard
himself, building up to one of Howard's most famous tales, "Rogues in
the House."
Award winning Ex Machina artist Tony Harris will be the exclusive cover
artist on the regular monthly beginning January 2006.

Scott Allie on what's in store for the Conan books in 2006.

NRMA Insurance Research Finds Drivers Are Losing Their Cool At School
(PRWEB) April 24, 2010
Car Insurance provider, NRMA Insurance is urging all NSW drivers to keep their cool when school goes back this week, after research reveals that almost 40 per cent of drivers are getting stressed when dropping off or collecting their children from school*.
The insurer also found that one in four drivers admitted to ignoring parking signs or rules when dropping off or picking up kids from school.
NRMA Car Insurance spokesperson Emily Gatt said we encourage all drivers to stay calm and follow the rules when in school drop-off zones.
We understand that everyone leads busy lives, which often means we can run late, however drivers should still make childrens safety a priority and be alert to the increased activity around schools.
Dropping children at school can be a stressful experience – there is often traffic congestion which can lead to drivers being distracted and frustrated.
Our research also showed us that 65 per cent of people get stressed about the behaviour of other parents and drivers in school drop-off zones.
More and more parents and carers drive kids to and from school rather than the child walking so there are a number of cars in the drop-off zones.
So we urge all drivers to follow the rules and keep their stress levels down when doing the school run for the safety of the children and their own benefit, Ms Gatt said.
[NRMA Car Insurance] http://www.nrma.com.au/car-insurance/index.shtmloffers some tips to drivers:
Try and leave home early to avoid the peak school drop-off and collection time;
Consider car pooling with other drivers to avoid doing the school run five days a week;
If you have the time, perhaps park away from the school and walk the child;
If youre caught in traffic remember to take a deep breath, sit back and enjoy the time getting frustrated can affect your ability to concentrate on the road.

Occupy Alaska: Whilst Sarah Palin Appears To Russia in Her Backyard, Alaskan Protesters See New York City from Their Fronts
Anchorage, Alaska (PRWEB) October 14, 2011
This isnt what youd count on from the state recognized in the national media for politicians who place lipstick on pigs, hunt wolves from airplanes and abide by the motto, Drill child, drill. But Alaskans are a diverse folks, and they are coming collectively like in no way before to organize and stand in unity along side their neighbors to the East: the Occupy Wall Street Protestors. And so what if their neighborhood extends 5000 miles across the entire length of the USA? All the a lot more reason to help the hundreds of other occupations that have sprung up in past weeks from the Bering Sea to the Atlantic Ocean.
At high noon on Saturday, Oct 15th, the largest protest however is scheduled to take location in Anchorage: Alaskas biggest city of 279,000 citizens. Hundreds of protestors from other far north towns like Fairbanks, the Kenai and Soldotna are arranging their own marches, or to car pool to Anchorage, even though some will have to travel hundreds of miles in what may be the first snowstorm of the season. Alaskas largest labor union, the American Federation of Labor, Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) is joining the ranks, along side church congregations, the ACLU and NAACP. A joint Press Conference is scheduled for 12:30, Alaska time. A media table will sport a video camera where all neighborhood members will be encouraged to exercise their appropriate to free of charge speech. A myriad of speeches, trainings, and music will run all through the day on the primary stage. There will be a food drive for the needy. And according to the organizers, this is only the beginning.
Michael Mason, an entrepreneur & IT specialist, explains how he became involved in Occupy Anchorage: A friend sent a hyperlink to a YouTube video I couldnt think my eyes as I watched peaceful protestors getting plummeted by police offices with batons and pepper-spray on the Brooklyn Bridge. I tried to get the details in the mainstream media, but no one particular was reporting it. I ultimately identified a reference to it in Russia Nowadays.
Brian MacMillan, a carpenter and mountaineer, was so saddened by how his fellow Americans were becoming abused, or ignored by mainstream news, that he formed the Occupy Anchorage Facebook page. Days later, on Oct. 5th, he and many other outraged citizens held the initial protest in Alaska, which attracted dozens of other individuals. By their second rally on Oct. 8th, over 3 hundred other demonstrators showed up, a lot of carrying hand-produced indicators scrawled with sentiments like, We are the 99% and End Corporate Greed. Some carried American flags and wore shirts sporting bible quotes like Enjoy Thy Neighbor, in Deeds. Dozens attended a political science session by Activist Ted Madsen, who explained, Capitalism in itself is not undesirable. It is what we do with Capitalism that either helps a society, or hurts it.
Remarkably, almost 25% of those in attendance at the rally subsequently volunteered to help organize future protests, and showed up at the UAA Student Union exactly where their 1st General Assembly meeting was held. Introductions were produced. Talents and resources were shared, I can help draft policy statements, I can print posters. In the space of two hours, they had organized committees and planned the next weeks events. They had a "" price range, but with everyone chipping in and donating services and resources, few seemed to notice. One particular excited planner beamed, "While our congress members are demonstrating democracy at its worse, we are putting into practice democracy at its greatest."
Amongst their ranks are teachers, construction workers, company owners, physicians, lawyers, veterans, enterprise owners, writers, food servers, retirees, and college students. Virtually all of them are employed, and have to balance work and family responsibilities with protesting.
Despite their ethnic and ideological diversity, they are remarkably unified in their standard desires and neighborhood-centered principles: fairness in organization practices, taxation and healthcare compassion for these significantly less fortune increased consumer protections. They want to see the end of corporate greed, excess lobbying and the political posturing that is crippling our government. But most of all, the protestors agree that the "protest is the message." By occupying their personal communal spaces, the protestors are creating a "Declaration of Interdependence." They are saying, "We are in this together we care about our fellow Americans who are receiving a bum deal. We are Americans as well and we want to participate in the democratic procedure." Even though politicians are saying little with their mouths, protestors across the globe are stomping out this message with their feet.
Alaskans have lived these sentiments for a lengthy time. Life in harsh situations has taught them they want their neighbors to survive. As Amy Katz, a cross-cultural communication Instructor at the University of Alaska, explains, We need to understand what Native Alaskans have constantly recognized: it requires a whole neighborhood to hunt and consume a whale. It would be madness for a hunter to bring back 1,000 pounds of meat to the village and not want to share. Yet, thats what our Wall Street bankers and billionaires who refuse to pay their fair share of taxes are undertaking. It is heartbreaking to see those significantly less fortunate than us starving, even although the cupboards subsequent door are overflowing.
