Special events are the best way to develop community, create excitement, set training goals and offer something to look forward to. Unfortunately, few operators have been taught how to do this well. Most neglect the fine details and wind up dealing with chaos, stress and an unsuccessful event.
At Northwest Personal Training, we have hosted monthly events, including exercise-a-thons, half marathons, running/walking events, triathlons, obstacle challenges, biking treks, hiking treks, fitness retreats and other programs. Visit our website at www.nwPersonalTraining.com and click on upcoming events to see some of the specifics about our events.
Here is a template of steps to take for special events that you host at your facility:
Step 1: Timeline and action steps. Your first step is to brainstorm and determine the end picture and what constitutes a successful event. Envision the event and picture the best scenario. Determine all facets of the event and establish all of the action steps and deadlines. Account for promotion, staff instruction, pre-event organization, event organization and facilitation, and post-event follow-up. Brainstorming should happen a year in advance for larger events and at least three months prior to smaller ones.
Step 2: Permits and rentals. Before you get too far into planning, determine if the event will require city permits or renting space or equipment. Check on the availability of these items before you recruit sponsors, develop fliers and plan details so you can avoid redoing any work.
Step 3a: Promotional materials. Once you confirm permits and rentals, start planning your promotional materials. Typically, you'll create registration fliers or brochures, promotional posters, e-mail blasts and website pages to promote your event. Include all the need-to-know information in your materials (who, what, where, when, why and how). To increase your outreach, post your event on local online event calendars and social networking sites, such as Facebook and MySpace. Also send out press releases about the event so that magazines, newspapers, TV and radio can put it on their calendars. Drop off your brochures/fliers at local businesses, especially those supporting the event. Typically, you need at least two months to effectively promote an event. Simultaneously, you need a solid registration system so when someone gets your promotional material, they can easily register. Online registration is a huge advantage.
Step 3b: Sponsorship recruitment. Make a list of all the items and services you will need for your event, including food, a speaker system, finishers' gifts (i.e., T-shirts, medals, water bottles, etc.), door prizes and stuff for goody bags. Begin approaching local businesses to rally their support. Write a letter that explains what you need and what sponsors will get in return (i.e., logo on T-shirts, website link on e-mail blasts, banners posted at the event). You can try to get financial sponsorships or just ask for businesses to donate their product or service in return for marketing exposure prior to, during and after the event. The sooner you start recruiting sponsorship assistance, the better. If you wait too late in the year, many companies (especially large ones) already have allocated all of their charitable contributions and marketing dollars. Having an important community beneficiary associated with your event makes it a lot easier to generate support.
Step 4: Volunteer recruitment. Regardless of the size of the event, you're going to need help. You may require course marshalls, aid station assistants, registration assistants, goody bag stuffers, race timing crew, volunteer massage therapists, set-up crew and clean-up crew. The bigger the event, the more assistance you'll need. For example, for an exercise-a-thon that we host, we need about five volunteers, but our half marathon with 1,500 participants requires about 200 volunteers. For large events, assign a volunteer coordinator to oversee the volunteers and ensure they know where they need to go, and when and what they need to do. Good sources to find volunteers include clients, friends of clients and Craigslist.
Step 5: Event logistics. Be sure you've thought of everything from start to finish, and that you have everything written in a timeline. What time will set-up happen, and what exactly needs to be done by when? Will you play music? When will people start arriving, how will they be greeted and what will they be given (i.e., goody bag, T-shirt, water bottle, etc.)? Do you have enough temporary toilets? When will the event start, and how will you start it off? What will happen during the entire event? Will you have local businesses there with booths? Will you offer massages? Will participants get something when they finish? Will you offer refreshments? What will happen post-event? Will you give out door prizes? How will you thank sponsors and participants? Will you have someone taking photos at the event? When will clean-up start, and who is responsible for what?
Step 6: Post-event responsibilities. Even after the event is done, you're not done. You have to finalize a few more things to guarantee support for next year's event. For example:
- Send out a post-event press release with results and an event recap.
- Post event stories/photos/results on your website and social networking sites.
- Send a post-event e-mail to participants.
- Send a thank you to all sponsors, volunteers, contributors, municipalities, facility owners, etc. This is critical to gain their support for next year. E-mail them links with photos and an event recap so they really feel part of the event.
- Do a post-race evaluation with volunteers and participants.
- Send out your donation to a beneficiary, if applicable.
Event planning is so rewarding and fun. But if you fail to plan, plan to fail.

Adobe Launches Revamped Marketplace for AIR Apps
Adobe on Tuesday launched a revamped version of its online apps platform, dubbed the AIR Marketplace.
"The goal of the release is to provide a more user friendly destination for showcasing and downloading AIR applications," Robert Christensen, a senior product manager on Adobe AIR, wrote in a blog post.
Changes include an enhanced feedback forum and a new interface that allows developers to manage their profile and applications and view app statistics. Developers can also add a purchase link to their app --- the "marketplace" doesn't actually let you buy the apps directly, but users can click a link that will take you to the developer's Web site.
The marketplace currently has almost 400 apps.
In December, Adobe took the beta tags off the Linux version of its AIR online apps platform. Adobe made the Adobe Air 1.5 runtime and SDK for Mac and Windows available in November. A beta version for Linux went live in March, and Adobe has since been collecting feedback from users on forums, blogs, and Twitter posts, Christensen said at the time.

Thoughts following the trade deadlinePosted by: | Comments
As I've been known to do sometimes, I'm going to ignore the work of my esteemed co-writers (in this case, Kevin) and offer my thoughts on a landmark day in Rangerland. So, if you're not looking for more analysis of the Trade Deadline, tough. Read it any way. Here's my thoughts on Wednesday's trade deadline activity, mostly Cally, but other thoughts as well.
- As much as I want to be upset and nostalgic about Cally's departure, I've been unable to muster it. After hearing Cally's post-trade comments, coupled with the fact that when push came to shove he was unwilling to come down from his unrealistic (for any team but Buffalo) contract demands, it became all business for me.
- I was very encouraged by the first appearance by Marty St. Louis. He was aggressive, involved and looked very dangerous. He did appear to be trying a little too hard to bury one in his first appearance. I think he's going to help balance out the Top-6 and give the team three dangerous looks to throw at opposition defense. Read More→

The final House-Senate farm bill conference report passed by the House hit its spending target of $73.5 billion above the 10-year baseline funding for agriculture with a little change.
Both chambers have passed the reconciled legislation, and the 2002 farm bill was sent to the president May 8.
But it took a series of adjustments to get the projections within the budget resolution spending cap, and some producers may be surprised to find they will not be receiving as much as they initially thought in target prices and fixed or AMTA payments.
Farm bill negotiators reportedly were as much as $500 million over the spending cap as they hammered out the details of the compromise report over the weekend of April 27-28. But the final figure is a few million dollars below that level, according to House Agricultural Committee Chairman Larry Combest.
"People were told that if you make a change in the agreement and it costs money, it will have to be offset and it will come out of the funding for your crop," said one farm organization lobbyist.
Corn growers, for example, would receive a higher loan rate than that proposed in the House bill or $1.98 per bushel in 2002 and 2003 and $1.95 in 2004-07 in the final conference report. The House bill set the loan rates at $1.89 for corn and $4.92 for soybeans.
But the corn target price was dropped from $2.64 per bushel in the initial reports on the compromise to $2.60 in 2002-03 and $2.63 in 2004-07. The soybean loan rate went from $5.03 in 2002-03 and $4.96 in 2004-07 to $5 for all six years of the farm bill. Conferees reduced the soybean target from $5.82 to $5.80 per bushel.
The Agricultural Market Transition Act (AMTA) or fixed payment for corn also fell from 30 cents per bushel in the initial estimates to 28 cents per bushel in the final conference report.
The fixed payments for sorghum went from 36 cents to 35 cents, for wheat from 53 cents to 52 cents, for soybeans from 45 cents to 44 cents. The fixed payments for cotton and rice remained at 6.67 cents per pound and $2.35 cents per hundredweight.
The rice target price dropped 15 cents per hundredweight (from $10.65 to $10.50) to provide a higher yield adjustment factor in the calculation for updating payment yields.
According to initial reports, farmers could have updated their yields using the higher of 70 percent of the difference between current AMTA yields and a full yield update based on 1998-2001 yields on planted acreage — or 90 percent of 1998-2001 yields on planted acreage.
The final report replaces the 90 percent with a 93.5 percent factor, allowing producers to come closer to actual current yields rather than having to rely on payment yields that were last updated in 1985.

Postcard from Hattersley
A black and white postcard of Hattersley.
It looks like the estate is relatively new so I'd put it late 1960's/early 1970's
Between 1894 and 1936 Hattersley was a civil parish in the Tintwistle Rural District of the administrative county of Cheshire. In 1936 it was annexed to the municipal borough of Hyde but remained undeveloped. In the 1960s most of the area was purchased by Manchester city council in order to build a large overspill estate.
4 comments:
What date were the high rise flats built? Has anyone got any photos of this? I'd love to see them.
- Saturday, 11 February, 2012
I've been trying to find a more exact date for the building of the Hattersley estate, but the only references I can find just say 'the 1960s'. Unfortunately I can't get onto the Tameside Council website at the moment for some reason, but that may have more detailed information and there may be early photographs in the Tameside image archive. A Wikipedia article about Hattersley says that moors murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley were rehoused from Gorton to Hattersley in 1964, so it would seem that the building work must have started in the early 1960s.

Tax services provider H&R Block is exploring strategic options for its banking arm.
Tax services provider H&R Block is exploring strategic options for its banking arm. It says this could result in the company no longer being regulated as a savings and loan holding company by the Federal Reserve.
Its stock fell 67 cents, or 3.8 percent, to $16.95 in premarket trading on Wednesday.
The Federal Reserve announced some proposed rules in June that would impose higher capital requirements on savings and loan holding companies. H&R Block Inc. said Wednesday that if the proposed rules are enacted it would have to hold on to significant additional capital.
"We are a tax preparation company that offers financial products and related services as an added value to our clients, but operating within the regulatory constraints of these proposed rules would be cumbersome," President and CEO Bill Cobb said in a statement.
The company, based in Kansas City, Mo., says it hired Goldman Sachs to help explore strategic options for H&R Block Bank and that it can offer existing financial products and related services to clients in fiscal 2013.
H&R Block does not expect any material impact to its fiscal 2013 earnings.

Was looking at older posts and would one saying that some people thought he said it was Asuna herself and her reaction was to keep it open or something like that i loled at that post.

It might not seem like one to you but the fact that Negi said he had a girl he liked, and told Asuna and she answered in a way that showed at the very least it wasn't her, would make turning it right back around and going "lol it actually was Asuna the whole time" would be kind of a what the hell KA moment. Just ignore the fact that Negi actually likes a different girl and throw him right back at Asuna why don't you

I... somehow doubt the future is a blank slate thing was aimed at Asuna, since that happened within the same chapter I believe, I think it was just for those who assumed it was Ku Fei due to Chao or that he'd never marry like in the other dimension, and that this time he might.
But if that's what you want to make of it go ahead I guess

I am not saying it was aimed at Asuna just that KA mentioned this a total of 3 times within the last few chapters I believe he did not want to sink any ship so he was trying to ensure that it was left as open as possible, the fact that he doesn't reveal who he ends up with years later shows he doesn't want to Negi to commit to whoever he thought he liked when he was ten. Which leaves it open to Asuna as well as everyone else.
KA definitely did not want to sink the Asuna and Negi ship as from what I have seen its his favourite relationship dynamic. Asuna and Negi are similar in some ways to Naru and Keitaro, when Asuna was captured, and Chisame had the role of being Negi's guardian, the dynamics of that relationship was fundamentally similar to Asuna and Negi IMO. At the graduation when Asuna finds out who he likes, she once again denies having romantic feelings for him, "it's not like that, and even if it was the future is a blank page" from that I figured she was saying if she does fall for him, she still has a chance at it.

At that point, I doubt Akamatsu cared anymore about giving serious answers to anything. If he ever comes back to Negima, which I won't believe until I see it, he should put more serious thought into it, because he obviously was madly rushing a conclusion by then, regardless of any inner logics or storytelling rules.
Since even he seemed to hint in the final volume's message a future Negima project could be a visit into an alternate timeline, I wouldn't be shocked if he just decided to disregard the final volumes and everything that was said there. If I had him before me, I'd actually suggest him to do that, since the final two volumes were a practically irredeemable mess.

I don't know about a whole two volumes (mostly because I don't remember what happened 2 volumes before the end, but certainly towards the end when he suddenly found out he had to finish the manga or lose it it was rushed yeah, for good reason sure but half assing an ending like that was still a little annoying even with the explanation

I'm starting to doubt the "Finish the manga now or lose it" explanation now, since he went back to announce his next project would be with Kodansha anyway. What happened? Did they buy him off, or was the popular guess just a fanmade excuse (remember he never officially announced a specific reason for the abrupt end. All we got were conjectures based on his fallout with Kodansha, but we never got to see which circumstances went on between that and the reconciliation)?
If he doesn't come back to Negima right after this, now he's apparently got no beef with Kodansha anymore, he'll just be showing he grew tired or sick with the series and dropkicked it. That isn't a good omen for his next project, since there's no guarantee he won't do the same thing when he gets tired again or when he has another fight with his bosses (the same company he had the problem with, after all).
A fanwork artist has the excuse of just quitting when he feels like it, but a professional has the obligation to be... well, professional. If you grow tired with what you're doing, bear up with it. That's why you're being paid. Try finding yourself ways to keep yourself interested, but don't let your audience down.
I have my doubts his reputation could survive if he pulls another "end of Negima" again.

From what I remember of Love Hina, Akamatsu doesn't really have the best track record of wrapping things up neatly. The later chapters of that were downright painful. And even if he felt that he needed to finish Negima when he did... I can think of at least a dozen different ways that would have been smoother than how it actually happened.

Oh it wasn't ever said by KA? I thought I remembered being told that was how KA explained it to his fans, but I don't know where I heard that now so maybe it was indeed just conjecture, who knows, well if he doesn't have any beef wih Kodansha I guess we'll see based on if he makes a continuation or not if it was drop kicked or he just tried to keep his rights to it.
EDIT: And while I hated LH's ending myself was it actually objectively bad? I thought I just didn't like it because I hated the pairing

The worst thing you could say about Love Hina's ending was it was too predictable (the other girls never stood any chance of winning, and the story always was unfairly biased towards Naru), but at least it played fair with its setting's rules and what had happened previously.
Negima's ending was much much worse because it didn't actually solve anything in a coherent way. Everything that wasn't complete unadressed was just given an one panel handwave, often going against the characters' direction for the whole manga (Chisame was opening herself instead of closing herself down, Akira never showed any interested on what she ended up doing, you can't justify Hakase ending up with Godel just from a meager roster annotation, you can't close Ako's arc just by saying "she had her back fixed, the end") and so on.

Love Hina's actual ending wasn't bothersome at all, but before then there was a long sequence of chapters that seemed largely pointless and only served as an attempt to delay the inevitable ending. It felt like Akamatsu was done with the story but wasn't letting that stop him from continuing it.

Looks like Ken Akamatsu's next work is going to be a new story altogether.
Disappointing news for Negima fans? Yeah. However, it probably may be best for Ken Akamatsu to concentrate on a new story for now before continuing Negima (especially given the mess that was the last two volumes).

By the time this new manga is over, who will give a crap about Negima anymore? Odds are this is just Akamatsu's way of officially burying the franchise without being downright honest about it.
Also, the day the new series ends up as badly as this one did, I hope I'm still there to tell you "I told you so."

National Preparedness Month (NPM), recognized each September, provides an opportunity to remind us that we all must prepare ourselves and our families now and throughout the year. This NPM will focus on planning, with an overarching theme: Disasters Happen. Prepare Now. Learn How.Disasters Happen. Prepare Now. Learn How.
Take time to learn lifesaving skills − such as CPR and first aid, check your insurance policies and coverage for the hazards you may face, such as flood, earthquakes, and tornados. Make sure to consider the costs associated with disasters and save for an emergency. Also, know how to take practical safety steps like shutting off water and gas.
The devastating hurricanes and wildfires of 2017 reminded the nation of the importance of preparing for disasters. Often, we will be the first ones in our communities to take action after a disaster strikes and before first responders arrive, so it is important to prepare in advance to help yourself and your community.
Check out tips and ideas to promote preparedness. For more engaging messages, attach appropriately sized graphics for specific social media platforms (e.g. Twitter, Facebook) and add emoji's.

The best tips for maintaining a bodybuilding diet plan include staying hydrated , never skipping meals, avoiding processed foods and sweets , preventing overeating , occasionally cheating on your diet and using liquid nutrition instead of snacking , among others.
It is possible to eat too much while trying a bodybuilding diet plan, and while your calorie intake may be significantly higher than in the past, there is still a limit to how much the body can use, versus how much it will have to store as fat. [3] Moderate your calories appropriately, based on your physical activity and metabolic expectations, but don't simply gorge yourself on protein.
Staying hydrated is critical for bodybuilders, as they will lose water in large quantities during intense training. If you want any of your efforts to be successful, your body needs to function properly, which means it needs enough water. [4] Drinking water throughout the day is essential for muscle-building properties, as well as calorie-burning efforts by the body.
When you are in a bodybuilding mode, your systems are constantly seeking nutrients to create muscle mass and make up for the burned off calories. [5] Skipping a meal can cause your body to stumble, and you will lose the potential benefits of your previous workout. You want to ensure that your body gets the nutrients it has become accustomed to if you want to see healthy, rapid results.
It can be difficult to maintain any diet without a break, so don't be
to give yourself a
day, where you grab some fast food or a pint of ice
. These
small rewards
, in moderation, will help keep your
up and make it easier to maintain your bodybuilding diet plan for the long haul.
Cheap Sale 2018 Unisex Joelle Back LaceUp Sweater Tart Visit New Cheap Price Affordable Online XSjduw
On a bodybuilding diet plan, hunger can often creep up in between meals, even if you are having 5-6 meals per day. Instead of reaching for a snack or stopping for fast food, protein shakes or other liquid forms of nutrition on hand . This will sate your appetite and is perfect for grabbing some good nutrients on the go.
Avoid processed foods whenever possible including fast food, which is packed with trans and saturated fats. While some processed foods may contain good amounts of protein, they also have unhealthy fats that your body will have to work to eliminate .

Endocrinology, Diabetes Research, Neuro-Oncology
On staff since July 1997
Children's Title: Program Director, Endocrinology Education; Clinic Chief, Diabetes/Endocrine (interim); Division Chief, Endocrinology
Academic Title: Professor
Research Center: Center for Clinical and Translational Research
Catherine Pihoker, MD, is chief of the Division of Endocrinology and Diabetes and attending physician at Seattle Childrens Hospital and Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Her clinical focus is inpatient and outpatient attending for endocrinology and diabetes. Her main research interests include investigating factors that predict the clinical course of diabetes, diabetes typology and improving outcomes of children with diabetes.
Dr. Pihoker is also interested in the impact on children of being overweight and living sedentary lifestyles, and she is involved in proposals studying the quality of life and metabolic measures in the general population as well as in cancer survivors. Other research interests include endocrine dysfunction in childhood cancer survivors and hypothalamic-pituitary function in children with tumors in the pituitary region. The studies Pihoker has been involved with include the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth, TrialNet and the Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium. Her teaching activities include serving as fellowship director, and didactic and direct teaching of resident physicians, medical students and support staff.
Dr. Pihoker has been providing expert care to our daughter since she began throwing seizures at only 3 months of age! Where other doctors had struggled, Dr. P. made a quick and correct diagnosis of a very rare but treatable condition, hypoparathyroidism. My kid is now a healthy teenager and living a normal life, thanks in no small part to Dr. Pihoker and the CHMC team. The gratitude I feel for not only the knowledge and experience, but the unfailing kindness and patience with parental questions and concerns, can barely be put into words. Dr. Pihoker is the best!
I can recommend Dr. Pihoker without reservation for any patient who needs to see an endocrine or diabetes specialist. She works with families and children in a supportive way which allows the child to gradually take on appropriate self-care, and encourages families to learn about their child's condition to help make decisions about long term treatment plans (or tweeks of plans as new needs come up). Although Dr. Pihoker doesn't waste appointment time on chit-chat, we feel she shows genuine concern and interest in our son as her patient, and has become a partner in his care. Our son has been her patient for about 12 of his 14 years of diabetes care at Children's and we are truly thankful for her guidance over the years.

(Reuters) - Fire investigators in the central California city of Fresno on Wednesday were scrutinizing evidence from two brushfires that erupted downtown this week to see if they are related to a string of blazes believed set by serial arsonists.
The two fires that broke out downtown on Monday night were set within minutes of each other, and brought the total in Fresno since May to 23 or more, according to the Fresno Fire Department.
Investigators are examining possible ties between the two fires, both apparently set on freeway shoulders near highways 180 and 99 in downtown Fresno, said Don MacAlpine, deputy fire marshal for the Fresno Fire Department. They are also looking to see if the two blazes are connected to the earlier string of fires, he said.
"We have more than one suspect and we're analyzing that information and looking for common denominators in the various calls," MacAlpine said. "Because we have a higher frequency of these occurring, we're treating all of them as criminal until we rule it out otherwise."
The Fresno Bee reported that two more fires also broke out in the area around the same time as Monday's blazes.
Most of the fires under investigation have been set in unoccupied buildings, officials have said.
"There have been a series of moderate to mild injuries, but nothing of major significance," MacAlpine said.

Sports at the University
At some faculties of the University of Sopron, students have compulsory physical education classes. At other faculties our students have optional physical activities. At the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences, the students have the possibility to learn kayaking, canoeing and rowing on the 2,200 meter reservoir of the Moson branch of the river Danube.
The sport activities are organized by student committees, which are not part of their regular study schedules. Every year students participate in many sports in inter-university competitions and championships.
The Sopron Sports Association of the University of Sopron was founded in Selmecbánya in 1860 and from that time it has continuously operated as Europe's second and Hungary's oldest sports association. SMAFC stands for the Sopron University Club for Athletics and Football whose basketball players made it legendary. The treasured name of SMAFC stems from the fact that from 1934 until 1952 the mining, metallurgical and forestry faculties were part of the József Nádor University of Technology and Economics. Today we still continue to use the cherished name of SMAFC.
The basketball club of SMAFC enriched the history of the university with a number of athletic successes. In the academic year of 1948-49, the legendary basketball team won the second division with no losses. For years they played in the first division, among the best teams for the Hungarian championship in first division. By 1962 an outstanding team was assembled under the leadership of Ferenc Krasznai and had one success after another in the next ten years. In 1969 they were the first team outside Budapest who won the Hungarian People's Republic Cup. This was particularly noteworthy since in most first division teams some professionals were playing, but in SMAFC there were only unpaid university students. Ferenc Krasznai's work was crowned with the selection of several of his players as members of the Hungarian national team. The present sports centre and a basketball tournament are both named after this famous coach.
In addition to basketball, the university had outstanding results, winning gold medals in the European karate championship, silver medals in horse riding, chess and skiing. We have also had athletic success in orienteering.
The Szombathely University Sports Association (SZOESE) has fourteen divisions with 1,400 participating sportsmen and sportswomen, making it one of the country's most important university and college sports associations. Their women's handball team has been participating in the second division for ten years, and the men's team has had outstanding sportsmen for many years. Men basketball players belong to the leading group of the second division. The women's team is the oldest division of the association and has had a number of successes. The football players have been successful at Universitas Cups. In single sports events, there are speed skaters, (Olympic bronze medal), triathlon and duathlon (gold medals in European championships). The gymnastics, orienteering and athletics teams also have had a number of sports successes (gold medals at inter-university championships).

Hear a Live Friday XPN Free At Noon Concert at 12noon ET from WXPN and NPR Music
Broadcast Live Fridays from the stage at World Cafe Live
Islands is an indie rock outfit hailing from Canada, and featured on World Cafe with their second album in 2008. Now on their fourth release, this dynamic foursome are back at XPN, performing a Free at Noon and showcasing the diverse influences of their latest, "A Sleep & A Forgetting".
Islands was born from the ashes of lo-fi band The Unicorns in 2005, and their first release had them touring with Metric and establishing a reputation for diverse art rock with depth. Since then, Islands has released three more studio albums, toured internationally, and gone through a few lineup changes. Now on a fourth full length, the members of Islands have created the most personal collection of songs yet. Frontman Nicholas Thorburn began writing "A Sleep & A Forgetting" one year ago on February 14, and now the album is being released exactly one year later. Infused with Island's special brand of dark yet catchy pop, "A Sleep & A Forgetting" has hints of introspective folk influences, layers of glimmering instrumentals, and Thorburn'slyrical take on soul. The result is astonishing--more honest and open than previous Islands' releases, yet a confessional offering with bounce.
Don't miss this Free at Noon with Islands--given a reputation for infectious and touching performances, this is going to one great way to start the weekend.

Get Creative with Outdoor Rugs from JCPenney
Once upon a time, outdoor rugs were only used for outside. They used to look rather plain and unattractive because, well, you were just supposed to wipe your feet on it. Unlike the carpet inside of a home, you wouldn't laydown on this rug at all or spend much, if any time, walking on it barefoot, so why care about its aesthetics? That was then, and this is now. They are made in gorgeous and exciting designs and colors, and today people are coming up with realy cool ways to utilize them.
Outdoor rugs are meant to repel water and resist the effects of weather changes. These characteristics make outdoor rugs great for homes with pets and children. Do your occasionally allow your children to eat in the family? Have a rug or two placed in a designated area that your kids can eat on. You won't have to worry about spills and sugar stained fingers soiling your lovely carpet. Place a rug near your dog's favorite spots. They'll love sleeping on the rug, plus it'll catch any accidents. Another great indoor spot for an outdoor rug is underneath the kitchen table. Using one means less mopping and sweeping for you because the rug will catch the numerous spills and crumbs that quickly dirty up your kitchen floor. Take the rug outside, give it a good shake, and then toss it in the washing machine for a thorough cleaning.
Take a look at our assortment of outdoor rugs, and let your imagination run wild with all of the ingenious ways you can decorate your home with one.

DeSean Jackson will end his hold out and report to Eagles training camp either Monday or Tuesday, according to a report from 6ABC.
Jackson has not reported to Eagles training camp, and while neither he nor his representatives have said anything about the situation, it's well known that he has wanted a new contract that matches his value as a Pro Bowl wide receiver. Jackson does not have a new contract, 6ABC reported.
The Eagles reported to Lehigh on Wednesday, but players were given until Thursday to report before facing any penalties, because of the quick re-start after the NFL lockout. The team only began padded practices Sunday. Jackson could be fined $30,000 for every day of camp he missed, though the team has not commented on any disciplinary action.
Because of his hold out and the lockout, Jackson has not worked with the team since the Eagles season ended in January. With Jeremy Maclin also out of training camp due to an illness, the Eagles have been missing their top two wide receivers.
Jackson's agent and spokesman did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

text: I have only done it a few times and ever since my son has decided he does not like to be covered because than he cant see my face or put his hand to my lips for kisses it makes it harder. I have in the last month or 2 felt confined to only nursing at home and I feel this is truly unfair to my 8 year old who would love to go to go out and do things. I really dont want to have to feel like I have to go feed my son in bathroom or lock my self in the car when I am out. I honestly would love to be able to bf uncovered in public than I can make sure I am not smothering him with my extremely large breasts and avoid the fight of the cover with him. I was looking around to see what the laws are for my state and one woman commented that she feels that women who BF uncovered are trying to seek attention and lack decency. I was fairly up set since I feel the struggle to keep the cover up with my son would draw more attention than with out and that I would lack decency if I was to do it with out a cover.Its not like I would be pulling my hole breast out for others to see just enough for my son to feed or yelling and screaming hey look at me best bet I would be finding a place out of the way of most on lookers thats fairly quite to nurse my son. Anyways from what I have read the State of California I can nurse publicly any place my kids and I can go unless its someones house and they say no. It doesn't say I have to be covered or not. Any one know if you can be uncovered in California and if so any ideas on how to do it in a modest way?

MDA: Ethanol Generates $5 Billion for Economy
ST. PAUL (AP) - The Minnesota Department of Agriculture says the ethanol industry generated $5 billion for the state's economy last year.
The department's report says ethanol supported more than 12,600 jobs and added $912 million to the value of the state's corn crop in 2011. Ethanol producers pushed to make as much of the gasoline additive as possible last year because Congress was ending a federal production tax credit. That flooded the market and lowered the demand for ethanol early this year.
Minnesota farmers harvested more than 1.2 billion bushels of corn last year. About 37 percent of the harvest was used to produce ethanol and its byproduct.

Byron Scott was handed a mess three years ago by the Cavaliers. He hasn't been able to clean it up.
With his third season as Cleveland's coach draining to its final days, Scott's future with the club is under question. The Cavs lost their 10th straight game on Wednesday night, an embarrassing 113-95 loss to the New Jersey Nets, who were missing two starters but still opened a 30-point lead against a Cleveland team that seemed disinterested and detached.
Following the game, a disappointed Scott said he wasn't worried about losing his job.
It's not entirely Scott's fault. The Cavaliers have one of the NBA's youngest teams and have been ravaged by injuries. But the team's lack of effort can't be excused, and Scott may eventually pay for it.

ale6x7 wrote:Hi Rebecca!
I've just discovered lucid dreaming and find it amazing that anything like this is possible! and I've spent a majority of my day today reading all the articles your site has to offer, and find myself with just a few unaswered questions:
When you manifest someone into your lucid dream does your consious dream involving them become their unconsious dream? do they remember anything you talk to them about in the dream or any actions exchanged between you? I'm sure I'll think of more questions, but right now I'm so starstruck that such a thing is possible that I can't think properly. I'm 14, the same age you were when you first discovered it, so you can probably understand the utter stage of amazement I'm in right now!
Thanks for the info.
I think of dream figures not as being separate from myself, but another part of my Self. Part of my subconscious, as this really does create a large part of my dream. However I sense you are talking about a literal manifestation of a real life person -- literally drawing them into your personal dream and interacting with them and then wondering if they remember anything about it the next day?
If this is possible, the evidence is only anecdotal at this stage. There are some lucid dreamers who are keenly researching this. Personally I am quite skeptical at the moment and am more interested in psychological applications of lucid dreaming. What you're talking about is perhaps dream telepathy or mutual dreaming - which we call paranormal. It's wide open for research if you're interested, but currently there is nothing scientifically sound to say that you dreaming lucidly of a friend would influence their own dreams, nor would they have any idea about the content of your dream unless you told them in real life...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Four Members of the Florida State swimming team are set for the 2014 Phillips 66 National Championships this week (Aug. 6-10) in Irvine, Calif. The meet will feature the top U.S. swimmers and will be held at the William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Complex.
Rising seniors Kaitlyn Dressel, Kevin Rogers and Connor Knight along with freshman Calvin Bryant will swim multiple races during the meet.
"This is it for this group," FSU head coach Frank Bradley said. "We've worked with each of these athletes over the summer and they're ready to go. They've all had great summers. I'm anxious to see how they compete."
Dressel will represent Club Seminole and is scheduled to swim the sprint events (50m, 100m, 200m free) and will open her meet on Aug. 6 with prelims of the 100m free. Knight will contest in three fly events, starting Wednesday with the 200m fly prelims while representing North Palm Beach.
Bryant is also expected to compete in the 1500m free on the first day of the meet. He will represent St.Petersburg Aquatics in both the mile and the 400m free.
Rogers will represent his home club – YMCA of the Triangle Area and race the 200m free and 200m back on Aug. 7, before swimming the 400 free on Aug. 9.
Former Seminole Mark Weber will also compete in a pair of sprint events for SwimMAC. Weber will open with the 100m free before closing out the meet with his specialty, the 50m free.
Prelims each day will begin at 9 a.m. (PT) with finals to follow at 6 p.m. The top 24 swimmers from prelims will advance to finals in each event with the exception of the 800m and 1500m free races.
Live streaming and results from the meet can be found at usaswimming.org.
Pike Gears Up for South African Nationals
Former FSU swimmer Jared Pike will compete at the 2014 South African Short Course Nationals in Pietermaritzburg, which run from Aug. 7-10 and will be held at the Joliffe Swimming Pool.
As the third-ranked breaststroker in the country in each distance, Pike will contest in the 50m, 100m and 200m throughout the weekend.
"Jared has a big month ahead of him," Bradley said. "He made a few adjustments before sectionals and he had a fantastic meet. He's ready to go and I can't wait to see how he performs."
Pike is also expected to compete in the Pan Pacific Championships at the end of August in Queensland, Australia.
Sankovich Wins Three at the Slovenia Open
Pavel Sankovich earned three gold medals and a silver at the 2014 Slovenia Open, which ran from July 31- Aug.3.
Sankovich won the 100m fly (53.01), 50m fly (24.16) and the 200 IM (2:03.71). He added silver in the 100m back and turned in a time of 57.72.

Boston Bruins head coach Claude Julien today confirmed that defenseman Aaron Ward, winger Marco Sturm and center Stephane Yelle will all make the road trip to Washington and Atlanta with the club despite their assorted injuries.
Ward and Sturm both skated during practice today at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington. Yelle did not practice, but Julien said that an X-ray revealed nothing serious. Yelle left Monday night's game after a collision with linesman Mark Shewchyk and suffered some muscle spasms.
All three players are considered day-to-day, although Ward might be a little farther off than his teammates, as he has yet to do any contact drills.
"It's ahead of schedule, it's progressing and we're kind of waiting for things to get to the point where I can get myself into full action," said Ward, who's going on the trip so he can ramp up the intensity of his workouts and avoid the rust that sometimes settles in when he sits out too long. "Obviously, it's real limited, it's no-contact."

"It's hoped that Helena Bonham Carter being pregnant won't affect the professional lives of either her or Tim Burton. For instance, Helena's role as Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter films shouldn't need to be rewritten so that Bellatrix constantly complains about her sore joints, leaky boobs and haemorrhoids, and the release of Tim Burton's Bonham Carter-starring Sweeney Todd movie should go ahead this winter without a hitch. Tim Burton must also pleased that his proposed Ripley's Believe It Or Not movie starring Jim Carrey has been cancelled, because the prospect of impending fatherhood is daunting enough without having an inhumanely wacky actor dancing around in front of you like a f*****g pixie for six months."
I sure hope not It's not old either, it was posted today.

THEY SCORED seven runs without any consecutive hits.
They completed their comeback against Cuban defector Aroldis Chapman, who amid a messy three-run seventh inning in which he allowed two bloop hits, struck out Ryan Howard with three consecutive fastballs — 100, 99 and 101 mph.
There is no real theme to Friday night's 7-4 Phillies victory over the Reds except for this. You keep playing. Play to the last out, reach base, by hook and yes, by crook.
No one is sure whether Chase Utley was hit by Chapman's 0-2 101-mph pitch. Scott Rolen is quite sure he threw to get the force at second base that inning, but umpire Ed Rapuano didn't see it that way. Jay Bruce didn't see much of anything on Jimmy Rollins' sinking line drive in the seventh that shot past his glove, and with it the Cincinnati Reds' chance to flip this short series on its ear.
Instead, the Phillies scored two runs on the play to take the lead and went on to win Game 2 of their National League Division Series, rallying from a 4-0 hole, taking advantage of four Reds errors, three hit batsmen and six walks — and overcoming some ugly baseball of their own.
When I picked the Phillies to win in five games before this series began, I did so because of scenarios that unfolded over the first four innings last night:
One or two of the H2O aces not quite up to snuff.
The loose wire that ignites the Phillies' offense shorting out again, and at the most inopportune times.
And the Cincinnati Reds acting like the powerball offense that led the NL in numerous offensive categories and propelled them to their first division title in more than a decade.
Yes, it helped that Bronson Arroyo was on top of his game for the first four innings, keeping Phillies hitters off-balance with an array of offspeed stuff and an 89-mph fastball he was able to locate most of the time. But it was clear after the game's first batter, Brandon Phillips, crushed a 2-1 slider deep into the leftfield seats, that this game would have little resemblance to Roy Halladay's no-hit opener.
Phillips blast broke the Reds 30-inning scoreless streak at Citizens Bank Park, dating back to that four-game Phillies sweep before the All-Star break.
The Reds scored single runs in four of the five innings Roy Oswalt pitched. Two throwing errors by Utley allowed the second, Bruce hit another no-doubter to rightfield in the fourth, and Phillips scored the fourth run on Joey Votto's sacrifice fly after doubling for his third hit to lead off the fifth inning.
It sure looked bleak at that point. Then the fun began.

Over the past ten years, global wind power capacity has grown at an average cumulative rate of over 30 per cent and solar energy has experienced similar growth through rapidly declining costs.
Mature technologies such as hydropower, biomass and geothermal are playing a major role in the transfer to clean energy and exciting new technologies are proving themselves in the field of marine energy.
The intermittent nature of renewable energy resources such as wind and solar, combined with political risk and rapidly developing energy conversion technology, means that investment risks can be high if technical and commercial assessments are not performed with the highest level of diligence.
As a market leader in the renewable energy field, Aurecon provides innovative, high-value technical and advisory services to clients. As one of the most commercially viable renewable technologies, wind energy has been a key focus for us in recent years and we have assisted clients to locate, assess, permit, finance and construct wind farms, for both onshore and offshore projects in many locations.
Our specialist skills in hydropower, including tunnelling, are in demand and we have a strong track record in hydro development. In solar energy, Aurecon is positioning for growth based on our technical solar knowledge, our environmental and infrastructure skills, and experience in the wind energy development process.

Visit Africa and forge into the heart of Kenya's finest game parks on this eight-day overland journey. Visit Kenya's amazing natural sights by day and in the evenings, kick back in the comfort of a well-appointed lodge or private tented camp and fall asleep to the sounds of nocturnal animals. Watch Kenya's abundant flamingos make Lake Nakuru blush pink; pass herds of animals on the vast plains of the Masai Mara; and sip sundowners on evening game drives.
Stay in a selection of rustic permanent tented camps and lodges across Kenya's unspoilt wilderness without sacrificing the creature comforts of home.
Experience the thrill of sleeping 'Under Canvas' and drift off to sleep to the sounds of the African night.
Spot endangered black and white rhino stopping for a drink in Lake Nakuru NP.
Watch lions prowling the famous Masai Mara on a 4x4 game drive.
Witness thousands of pink flamingos descending on Lake Naivasha, completely covering the sparkling blue waters.

Our overland safaris do not necessitate exceptional fitness levels, but a general level of physical movement is required. For example, you need to judge yourself physically fit enough to handle.
As the early bird catches the worm, the early camper sights the animals. There will be many early starts either to make use of the better safari time or to beat the morning traffic on long travel days.

Review submitted 24 Sep 2018
This trip was a life time dream for me and it was better than imagined. The roads are terrible but our driver was fantastic. The campsites were beautiful. It was cooler weather than I expected so pack one warm fleece and don't worry about Tsetse fly in Kenya. Pack a water bottle as we had a bulk water bottle on the truck to cut down on plastic bottle use.

I like Duhamel, and in her first straight-up dramatic role Hough does well enough, though her singing and/dancing career thus far has trained her to oversell, as opposed to sell, as opposed to act naturally.
A thriller element that has not been present in earlier Sparks movies is designed to draw reluctant male viewers to see the picture, but they won't respond with the same enthusiasm as his core audience of woozy romantics.
See all Safe Haven reviews at Metacritic.com
OK for kids 14+
Predictable romantic drama deals with pretty heavy themes.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Safe Haven (based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks) is a romantic, at times suspenseful drama that's heavy on cliches and formulaic plot twists and light on chemistry and inventiveness. While the romantic stuff is pretty tame for teens, save for one session in bed that reveals bare shoulders, the film does deal with heavy subjects such as death and spousal abuse. One character clearly has an alcohol problem (he's shown drinking while driving), which colors his decisions at work and at home. He also turns violent, resorting to guns and worse. There are also scenes with a destructive fire and a bloody knife, as well as some swearing ("s--t" is the worst of it).
Messages: Safe Haven's message is heartwarming to the core: Surround yourself with kind, good people, and you can emerge from the darkness that you may find yourself in. But you also have to learn to trust and give to others.
Role models: Katie is resilient and resourceful and doesn't shy away from the hard work of rebuilding her life. Alex doesn't let his grief overwhelm his ability to be a good father.
Violence: Some suspenseful/intense moments. A man stalks a woman; he also tries to choke her and roughs her up. Later, he points a gun straight at her and brandishes it around. A fire consumes an entire building and threatens the lives of three people in or near it. A boy slips on a boat and hits his head, nearly drowning. A woman is shown with a bloodied knife in her hand and stabbing a man with it.
Sex: A couple is shown presumably having sex under the covers, but viewers see only their bare shoulders. Some passionate kissing.
Language: Infrequent use of words including "s--t," "hell," "crap," "damn," "goddamn," "oh my God," and "for Chrissakes."
Consumerism: Logos for Chevrolet, Jeep. The Roxy clothing brand is mentioned during a shopping scene.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: One character is an alcoholic who drinks vodka while driving. He's violent while inebriated. Some beer drinking at social events.

Barehanded thief steals Victoria's Secret underwear at Mall of NH
December 16. 2012 8:36PM
MANCHESTER - A thief made off with thousands of dollars worth of ladies underwear Sunday afternoon when the Victoria's Secret store at the Mall of New Hampshire was hit by an ambitious shoplifter.
Police were called to the lingere shop around 4 p.m. for a report that thieves stole some $4,000 worth of merchandise from the store.
Manchester Police St. Joe Mucci said store employees observed a black male, approximately 6'2" and 180 lbs., and wearing a peacoat, dark dress pants and a dark skull cap, stuffing women's underwear of many different styles, sizes, shapes and colors into two large Disney store bags. Mucci said the security tags on the garments set off security alarms when the man exited the store without paying, and when a store employee approached him he fled into the mall towards Ulta Cosmetics.
Mucci said the suspect may have been observed with a Hispanic female in the mall, before the theft occurred, but at this time police don't feel she was involved in the crime.
Manchester police ask anyone with information about the theft to call them at (603) 668-8711, or call the Manchester Crime Line at 624-4040.

Over the past two decades, several studies in Europe with extracts from the
saw palmetto berry have shown benefits with this herbal therapy. The JAMA
review article pooled the results of 18 of these studies totaling 2,939 men.
Compared to placebo, or dummy pill, those who received saw palmetto were twice
as likely to have improved urinary symptoms compared to those on placebo. The
benefits with the herb were actually comparable to finasteride. One side
effect of finasteride is erectile dysfunction. Saw palmetto did not cause this
Los Angeles physician Ray Sahelian, M.D., author of Saw Palmetto: Nature's
Prostate Healer (Kensington Press, 1998), says, "I find saw palmetto very
helpful in improving symptoms of prostate enlargement. At least two-thirds of
patients find that they visit the bathroom less frequently overnight. At a
fraction of the cost of finasteride, saw palmetto is an excellent first line
therapy for any male who has mild to moderate symptoms of prostate
enlargement. Improvements are most often noticed after two weeks of therapy.
Finasteride can always be added later if saw palmetto does not produce
satisfactory results."

Fire damages home in Sussex
No one injured
SUSSEX, Wis. —
A house in Waukesha County is badly damaged following a fire Saturday night.
The fire started about 9:30 p.m. Saturday near Sunset and Hickory drives in the village of Sussex, firefighters said.
Neighbors said they had to enter the home to tell the residents that their garage was on fire.
Authorities said that upon arrival, the garage and two vehicles inside it were fully engulfed in flames. The fire then spread to the home.
The fire caused about $130,000 in damage to the structure and $45,000 worth of damage to the contents, fire officials estimated.
No injuries were reported. There were two adults and two children in the home at the time.
The Sussex Fire Department said the fire was ruled an accident.

I. In Focus This Week
Getting them registered is just part of it
Two programs work with voters to get absentee ballots
Voters across the country began heading to the polls (or mailbox) in a number of states this week as absentee and early voting kicked off for the 2012 presidential election.
According to the United States Election Project, in 2008 approximately 39.7 million (30 percent) of all votes were cast before Election Day. That was up from 20 percent in 2004.
Although there is no way to say what the early/absentee vote may be for this year, Paul Gronke, director of the Early Voting Center at Reed College predicts that by the time November 6 rolls at least one-third of all voters will have already cast their ballots.
In Florida, elections officials are encouraging voters to vote early or absentee due to an exceptionally long ballot and in Ohio, every resident received an absentee ballot application.
Still, even with the numbers of early/absentee voting growing each election, it's not always an easy task for voters to find out how they may cast their absentee ballots.
Two new programs however are making it easier for Spanish-speaking and military & overseas voters to cast absentee ballots.
Voto Ausente USA
This year, the U.S. Vote Foundation and the Hispanic Communications Network (HCN) teamed up to create the Voto Ausente USA Spanish-language website aimed at voters in 12 states.
The site offers state-specific absentee voting information for the 12 states with the highest number of Spanish-speaking voters.
According to Susan Dzieduszycka-Suinat, president and CEO of US Vote, there was a bit of serendipity involved with creating the site.
"I was in Puerto Rico attending the NASS Summer Conference and a call came in from the founder and chairman of HCN, Jeff Kline. He simply asked if we had considered making a Spanish-language version, and he offered his HCN resources to team up and make it happen," Dzieduszycka-Suinat said. "That started it. I had been surrounded with Spanish-speaking American voters for the last four days, and was totally open to the idea. Just needed a push, which he provided. Then, when we looked at the Pew research, and the low Hispanic turnout issues, I was immediately keen on helping to improve the situation for these voters."
The Pew numbers that Dzieduszycka-Suinat is referring to indicate that in 2008, only 49.9 percent of the eligible Latino voters cast ballots as opposed to 65.2 percent of eligible black voters.
Voto Ausente USA is similar to US Vote's other sites including the Overseas Vote Foundation's website which is geared toward military and overseas voters. Dzieduszycka-Suinat said because U.S. Vote's site is not engineered for multiple languages, it was easier to create a separate site.
Although there are a number of jurisdictions with large Spanish-speaking populations (many falling under Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act), Dzieduszycka-Suinat said that due to time limitations, the decision was made to focus on the 10-12 states with the largest Spanish-speaking populations figuring that the site will be available to about 75 percent of the population.
"We had limited time and resources," Dzieduszycka-Suinat explained. "So we looked to the Census and quickly assessed that if we focused on the top 10-12 states with the highest Hispanic or percent Hispanic population we could likely reach 75 percent of the voters through only those states."
Since the site launched earlier this month the US Vote and HCN have been working hard to get the word out to the affected markets.
"HCN is also running spots on their radio network of 254 Spanish language stations during the month of October promoting the website and encouraging Latinos to take advantage of the convenience of absentee voting," said Maria Nape with HCN.
Nape said they will monitor the traffic to the site throughout the process to determine its effectiveness and make adjustments accordingly for future elections.
Our Mission Your Vote
Our Mission Your Vote is a consortium of 13 Florida counties working together to help military and overseas voters in the Sunshine State cast their absentee ballots with a one-stop website.
The 13 counties, which represent the majority of the state's military installations, partnered with Democracy Live and Microsoft to provide a secure, state-of-the-art site to allow members of the military to download their absentee ballots.
The site is meant to make it easier and faster for military and overseas voters to case their ballots.
"We conduct absentee voting today just as we did during the civil war. We mail a soldier a ballot and hope he gets it. He votes and mails his ballot back and hopes we get it in time to count it," Okaloosa County Supervisor of Elections, Paul Lux told a local Fox affiliate.
The ballots can either be completed using an online ballot-marking wizard, or printed and filled out by hand. Once the ballots are complete, it is up to the voter to mail the ballot back. Voters can then subsequently track their ballots online to ensure that they were delivered to their county elections department in a timely fashion.
The program, which received initial state approval in late 2011 was first used during the primary and was spearheaded by Lux.
The coalition received a $1.6 million grant from the Federal Voting Assistance Program to create the site.
Counties participating in the program include Baker, Bay, Bradford, Clay, Duval, Escambia, Leon, Nassau, Okaloosa, Pinellas, Putnam, Sarasota and Wakulla.
