Not a good week as far as miles go. It's hard to explain but my legs just HURT. This is week 3 of that nonsense. The first couple I could explain away because of sickness. I had started taking Calcium and Vit D a couple weeks ago, but am going to stop and see if that is the culprit. I can't take a multivitamin for some reason - just messes with me, so maybe I just have to space out the calcium and vit D too. Anywho...
We went to NY (long island) on Saturday after a underwhelming week of running and a snowstorm! I was nervous about how I would feel and the warmup on the course Saturday did not put me at ease. My legs didn't feel good. I spent that night massaging, foam rolling, and icing (even went into the tepid hot tub at the hotel). Ate well and hydrated and even got a great night of sleep without a cat walking over me every 2 hours! It was all I could do I guess. We left for the race Sunday and I was trying to be positive because I really wanted to have fun- had to be more fun than doing a long run by myself on the streets of Keene so I wanted to take advantage of it.
The race venue is pretty awesome. The setting is an old estate turned into a state park that I find intriguing - the mansion was right out of the Great Gatsby novel and the buildings and grounds are amazing even though they aren't open to the public and are a bit run down at this point. Anyway, the 50K started an hour before the 25K so I had plenty of time to think about my goals....it was 2:15. The 5K loop is pretty flat with just enough rolling hills to change the muscles working in your legs for a bit. The little out and back is tough but just adds to the scenery of who's behind you and ahead of you. The weather was supposed to be warmer than it ended up being, but I was dressed perfectly yet again. I didn't do much of a warmup, but it was fun watching the first hour of the 50K play out. I wasn't sure how my legs were going to feel, but I decided to pretend they'd be fine and planned out my race. My plan was to do each 5K starting at 8:45 pace and work my way up to 8:15 pace. That didn't quite happen but I am pleased nonetheless. We started and my legs felt ok. So I went with it. Here are my splits...
1st 5K: 26:15 / 8:28 pace....this felt ok to me so I changed my plan and just tried to maintain...
2nd 5K: 26:26 /8:30 pace...still felt ok and got a little pat on the buns from my husband as he lapped me!
3rd 5K: 26:39 /8:35 pace...hmmm felt like I had gone faster but did walk to drink some gatorade...
4th 5K: 26:15 /8:28pace...ok recovered a little, still felt pretty good, started passing people that had been around me for awhile...
5th 5K: 26:20 /8:29pace...again thought I had gone a little faster but I did do the gatorade thing right at the beginning of this lap and I guess made up for it.
Even splits! I'm not even sure I tried to be that even so can't say I learned anything about pacing myself! Also not sure I could do 11 more miles at that pace, but that's the plan. Lots of long runs coming my way. It was fun to have the boys lap me so I could see what was going on in the race while running! Went from 72nd place to 62nd overall, 13th female. I was pretty happy. I guess I'm encouraged for the marathon, but a little discouraged for the half marathon coming up in two weeks.
I'm a bit sore today- wanted to sneak in a couple miles so I could take a couple off a longer run this week, but that wasn't going to happen. Opted for the elliptical instead for 35 minutes. Sat in the cold whirlpool for about 15 minutes, hopefully that'll help calm things down. I'll experiment with the calcium and vit D supplements.
Gotta run through it tomorrow- need a big week this week!!!! Then a little lower mileage to at least try to run a good race at New Bedford. I have to remember I wasn't really pushing myself at Caumsett like I hope to be at New Bedford. Goal is sub1:45, but I am not going to wear a watch and just go with it. My last race in the open category - I'll be a master for the Fast Friends race on March 31st!!! After that it's all about Vermont City. I have long runs mapped out already. Getting a little nervous! It's a process and I love it!!

Part email marketing service and part CRM, Autopilot offers many features, a modern user interface, and enough low monthly costs. Once subscribed, you'll see a rich dashboard showing sent emails' number, active automation, and feed with stats on sent/opened emails and SMS. You'll see also CRM features and a Tutorials section you'll surely need: Autopilot is too complicated for most marketers, mostly for novice users.
Tutorials page will help you through every step, even importing contacts. You can do it from a spreadsheet (CSV, XLS, XLSX, ODS), boast a third-party app or add them one by one. You can easily map contact's data adding fields such as true/false, whole number, date, and text. Autopilot handles duplicate quickly letting you update, replace, or don't modify existing contact.
You can set up a campaign using an Autopilot guide or, if you feel brave, from scratch. Autopilot calls "Journeys" your campaigns: they are more complicated than a basic email campaign you may be accustomed to. You can't start your campaign creating and sending a newsletter: first you have to build a Journey via drag and drop interface. You'll be forced to choose triggers, conditions, autoresponders, and actions. Now you can create an email or send a preexisting one. It's possible to upload your HTML template or pick one from six offered. Template editing options are quite narrow: it's not possible to drag and drop new elements, but you can only change text and images.
Stats and analytics with openings, clicks, and unsubscribes are available in the activity feed; reports are available for more in-depth analytics with charts. An exhaustive knowledge base will help you, but if you need human help, you have to write an email to support. No live chat or phone support available: that's a significant turnoff since Autopilot complexity.
Even Autopilot pricing plans are quite complex: it offers monthly plans starting from $5 per month/500 contacts monthly, $25 per month/1,000 contacts, $65 per month/3,000 contacts, up to $3,000 per month/500,000 contacts. If you need more, you can contact Autopilot for a high-volume account. If you pay annually, you can save a 20 percent off for every plan. A 30-days free trial on the 500-contact plan is available.
Autopilot is not the right solution for novice users and small business needing to send a simple newsletter, but it's an excellent choice if you're searching for high-level email marketing and CRM automation.

I took the kids ( +2 , I am babysitting) and met Angie with her 3 ( + 1, Dan), so let's see - I am doing the math in my mind, 9 total to the park today. We had the best time! Had the new E Fort Smith, great weather, and good conversation! It went so well I was tempted to stay until dark and all I would have to do is baths and bed (at 3:00 I was having those thoughts)!!!
They have added some "Porta' Pottys" so no more hiding behind trees. Perfect.
Tomorrow is my Moms birthday, what will I get her?

text: F1 top news F1 is not the spectacle it once was – Berger Published 3 years ago on 2016/01/15 By thisisf1 F1 has lost some of the excitement of the past – File picture: Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger, Image Credit McLaren Gerhard Berger thinks F1 is not the spectacle it once was. "Yes," the Austrian F1 legend and former McLaren and Ferrari driver told German-language motorsport-magazin.com at amid the Kitzbuhel ski slopes. "We have a somewhat difficult time in formula one. "On the one hand we have seen a very dominant Mercedes. Of course, if someone has done their homework and performed well, they deserve respect and should be rewarded," said Berger. But he also thinks F1 has lost some of the excitement of the past. "In my time," said the 56-year-old, "it was not clear after the first corner who would win the race. If everything is normal and Hamilton or Rosberg are first after the first corner, he will win the race. "In my time you ran out of fuel, the gearbox broke, someone's engine failed. You never knew." And there are other reasons for F1's more lacklustre 'show' of today, Berger explained. "Driving mistakes in my time were punished," he said. "You were in the barrier or at least the gravel. Today, the run-off is paved and if you're lucky you don't even lose a place as you come back to the track." The cars, Berger continued, are also not the same today. "We had 1300 or 1400 hp without automatic transmissions, without electronic aids and without today's aerodynamics. It was like riding on a cannonball. "Now the cars have 850 horse power, and you also see sports cars on the road with 850hp, if not more. And the whole thing is so stable with today's aerodynamics." Formerly a teammate to the great Ayrton Senna, Berger said he now sees only MotoGP as the stage for true motor racing heroes. "When I see these very spectacular races with 270hp and 160kg (bikes), we know that this is riding on a cannonball. In F1 we have to go back so that the driver is the determining factor and only three, four or five guys are able to master it," he said. Having acknowledged the issue, F1 had intended to dramatically spice up the rules for 2017 and 2018 so that the cars are five seconds a lap faster, and in excess of 1000hp. Red Bull's Dr Helmut Marko blames Mercedes for an apparent watering-down of those plans. "Mercedes claims that the tyres would not cope," Austrian media reports quote him as saying, "but this is a poor excuse. "They are in a position of advantage and naturally don't want anything to change." But Marko said that, for the sake of F1, something must change. "Formula one is much too sterile now," he insisted. "The driver is no longer in charge, it is the engineers in the background (who are)."

Kimmy is such a great helper! The age difference between her and David is the same as my sister and I.
This is what your family photo would look like if you had 5 kids, all 2 years apart.
Katy loved swimming, as usual, but thankfully, she wasn't as fearless as last year. She went down the slide with Brian a couple of times and then said it was "too fast."
Katy loved swimming, as usual, but thankfully, she wasn't as fearless as last year. She went down the slide with Brian a couple of times and then said it was "too fast."
David warmed up to the water as the days progressed, which was good for him, since up to this point he has been very nervous about getting near it.
Drying off before one of our many fabulous meals in the gazebo. Brian's folks can cook up a storm, and they always do.
We also visited Cumberland Falls...sorry I don't have many pictures of the adults...even Kelly and John are missing in this one...
Oh, the cuteness.
It seems that every trip with small children has its challenges. Ours included:
** Katy's fever the day before we were supposed to leave, and trying (unsuccessfully) to get her to pee in a cup at the pediatrician's office. She continued to have a fever and a hoarse voice throughout the trip.
** The first day we were there, Brian had David in the gazebo and went to ring this windchime for him:
Apparently inside there was a wasp's nest. A wasp flew out and into David's mouth and STUNG HIM ON THE TONGUE. It was awful. It started to swell and I was worried about blocking his airway and having an allergic reaction. I talked to my pediatrician on the phone, who told me what to look for and when to take him to the ER. He ended up being fine.
**Tuesday morning as we prepared to leave, I discovered that David had developed Katy's fever. We got in the van and discovered that the DVD player stopped working. UGH.
Overall, though, it was a good trip. We always enjoy our time with Brian's family and they really spoil us. I need to come up with the next thing for Katy to look forward to!

Ruth Kelly's performance in the House of Commons on Monday put me in mind of a little girl brazenly denying that she had swiped another child's chocolate when all the world can see that her face and hands are liberally smeared with the stuff.
Presenting the long-awaited Penrose report to an expectant throng of MPs, Kelly insisted that there was no way the Government was going to shell out taxpayers' money to compensate the victims when it had done nothing wrong.
It beggars belief that she can believe she is going to get away with such a ridiculous contention when the 800-plus pages of the report are liberally smeared with evidence to the contrary.
"Lord Penrose makes no recommendation for the payment of compensation," she said. Then, a few seconds later: "He makes no allegation of maladministration."
It would have been amazing if he had done either, given that Treasury officials had specifically excluded both considerations from his brief.
She laid all the blame for regulatory failure on the behaviour of the previous Equitable board and the decision of the previous Conservative government to install a system of "light touch" regulation with which the subsequent regime had no option but to abide.
The words "light touch" have an interesting history. In her own report on Equitable, published last year, Ann Abraham, the parliamentary ombudsman, totally exonerated the Financial Services Authority of blame because its hands had been tied by the prevailing system of "light touch" regulation.
I well remember the bemusement with which commentators including myself greeted this description. Light touch? What the hell was she on about? It was the first we'd heard about it.
The only explanation we could come up with was that Abraham had been influenced by the Treasury - which I am sure she would deny because, as the parliamentary ombudsman, she must be completely impartial. She is there to judge government, not to side with it.
Kelly's use of the same words only strengthens my belief that Abraham should play no further part in the proceedings. So, when Charles Thomson, the chief executive of Equitable, called on the ombudsman to reopen her investigations last week, I seriously wondered whose side he thought he was on.
Thomson did at least have the wit to ask for Lord Penrose to be brought in as an adviser to the investigations - but given the highly critical tone of the judge's report, I cannot for the life of me see the Treasury allowing him to get his hands on any further investigations.
To be fair to Thomson, he has also made it clear that the Equitable board would reconsider its previous decision not to sue the Government for compensation if the members voted in favour of doing so.
This eventuality is looking increasingly likely. Paul Braithwaite, the seemingly tireless leader of the Equitable Life Action Group, has announced his intention to table a motion at the next annual general meeting calling for the board to set aside £2m to sue for compensation.
It will be interesting to see how determined the Government is to bluff it out, now that the awful truth about Equitable has finally been dragged into the light by the estimable Penrose.
It is surely not expecting those who have battled for the past five-and-a-half years to throw in the towel at this critical stage in the proceedings. If it is, it is in for a crushing disappointment. The fat lady has absolutely no intention of singing until justice has finally been secured for the blameless Equitable victims.
Over the past week, the media have been awash with comments about the need to restore confidence in the financial services industry. If the Government refuses to take responsibility for this debacle, why should anyone believe in its willingness to take responsibility for the proper regulation of the industry in the future?
The Government does not appear to understand the difference between fault and responsibility. To argue that the debacle is the fault of the previous government and the previous management of Equitable, is not only disingenuous, it is also irrelevant.
Whether or not those now in power were at fault, it is surely undeniable that they have the sole responsibility for clearing up the mess.
In her speech on Monday, Kelly openly encouraged victims to seek compensation through the Financial Ombudsman Service. Any further payments will have to be found from Equitable's dwindling resources. When the society inevitably goes bust, Kelly made it blatantly obvious that she would expect policyholders' losses to be met by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
The FSCS is totally dependent on the financial services industry to supply all the money it pays out to abused punters - which is palpably unfair in the light of the regulatory failure.
It is estimated that the Equitable victims are owed compensation worth up to £3.5bn. This a huge chunk of taxpayers' money to shell out. But I suspect the Treasury is worrying about having to pay a very much larger sum, if it accepts its responsibility for this one.
Although Kelly (and the Association of British Insurers) bangs on about the problems with Equitable being "unique", a proper reading of Penrose reveals that this was far from the case.
Many of the mistakes made by the Equitable board were made, to a greater or lesser extent, by an awful lot of other with-profits providers at roughly the same time.
What has come to be called "over-bonusing" was in no way unique to Equitable. On the contrary, it was rife across the industry.
In addition, many life insurers have failed for years to reserve properly for guarantees, as has been tacitly accepted by the FSA in its bid to get them to do so now under new, tougher accounting rules.
What's more, a number have quietly switched to a remarkably similar system of differential bonus payments to policyholders with pension guarantees to that ruled illegal by the House of Lords in the Equitable case.
Several of the weaker companies are still believed to be sailing very close to their financial limits, just like Equitable. And there is a suspicion that they will be sent even closer to the edge by the new realistic accounting regime - unless, of course the FSA gives them the same leeway as it has granted Equitable.

In what can only be called awfully suspicious timing, Yahoo has turned off automatic email forwarding — a crucial feature when changing email accounts — for Yahoo Mail users. Anyone who has already enabled the feature is not affected, but others cannot activate it.
On its help pages, Yahoo says mail forwarding is currently under development. "While we work to improve it, we've temporarily disabled the ability to turn on Mail Forwarding for new forwarding addresses," the help page says.

Santa Barbara, CA (PRWEB) September 29, 2004
The National Board of Fitness Examiners (NBFE) announced that they selected Thomson Prometric to assist in the development and deployment of national board examinations for personal trainers.
"We're excited about our collaboration with the National Board of Fitness Examiners," said Alison Indrisano, senior vice president of Global Operations for Thomson Prometric. "Thomson Prometric computer-based testing services offers a proven method for measuring and validating personal trainer skills, and raises the professional bar for the fitness industry nationwide."
The NBFE felt that since Thomson Prometric helped develop and deploy medical national boards, they were the logical choice for the fitness profession.
"This will be the first time in the history of the fitness industry that weÂll have national standards for personal trainers," said Dr. Sal Arria, Executive Director of the NBFE. "Until now, anyone could call themselves a personal trainer. This will help bring a level of competency assurance to the public; simply ask if your personal trainer passed the national boards." Because there are at least one hundred organizations that train personal trainers, and in some instances no education or testing needed to download a certification, the NBFE plans to maintain a registry of board certified trainers that will be made available to the public and physicians.
Virtually all health care professions have standards and utilize national boards to ensure the public that they possess a high level of skills and knowledge, and are competent in their field. "Because personal trainers are responsible for the health and safety of the public, eventually states will require the fitness profession to do the same; have national standards and pass board exams. The fitness industry should set those standards," reports Dr. Arria.
The NBFE will also lobby that physicians recommend that their patients exercise more often, and utilize the services of board registered trainers, as well as the health clubs that employ them. "Physicians are in a perfect position to help their patients get in shape by referring to competent personal trainers," said Dr. Arria. Personal trainers play an instrumental role in prevention and self-help by teaching their patients the importance of exercise and how to enjoy an active lifestyle.
About NBFE
The National Board of Fitness Examiners (http://www.NBFE.org) is a not-for-profit organization; founded in 2003 to ensure to the public that qualified fitness professionals who have successfully passed the National Board examinations have achieved an approved level of competency in the health and fitness industry.
About Prometric, Inc.
Thomson Prometric (http://www.prometric.com) is the global leader in technology-enabled testing and assessment services for academic, professional, government, corporate and information technology markets. Thomson Prometric delivers standardized tests for 300 clients, in 26 languages, over the Web or through a global network of testing centers in 134 countries. Based in Baltimore, Md., Thomson Prometric employs 3,000 employees worldwide.

Perhaps not as famous as Wat Phra Kaew with its emerald Buddha or Wat Pho with its giant reclining Buddha but it is no less imposing. Situated along the Chao Praya river, from afar it looks like an old water stained temple but close up you can see thousands of pieces of mosaic set into stonework of the temple. Two flights of stairs takes you to the top of the temple which gives you a few of the river and the Grand Palace on the other side of the river. Only on my way back down did I realise how high I climbed and how steep the stairs, and for someone not usually afraid of heights it was a dizzy descent.
How to get there: From Saphan Taksin BTS skytrain station you can walk over to Sathorn Pier, take the Chao Praya Express boat which costs about 15 baht, get off at Tha Tien Pier and from there you need to take another ferry to get to the other side of the river which costs 3 baht. Entrance fee 100 Baht.

Skip to comments.Attas Rage Rooted in Islams Misogyny
Posted on 08/10/2017 11:38:35 PM PDT by Arthur McGowan
In Islam, sex is allowed only in marriage, but even then it is not viewed as an act between two complementary and equal human beings. It is an act concerning only the orgasmic need of the male. Since this need is prioritized, Islam allows the male to marry four wives at a time. The male can also go through serial marriages, since he is allowed to dissolve a marriage unilaterally at any time by simply saying to his wife: "you are repudiated."
Thus, a man does not have to invest in one woman. The concept of "the couple" is shattered; the individual woman is seen as useless and expendable. The confusion in which Middle Eastern boys grow up, therefore, is a given. With all kinds of siblings born of different women -- who obviously werent good enough to be cherished alone - the boys get their first taste of misogyny and, therefore, self-hate (since they internalize the notion that their own mothers were valueless).
(Excerpt) Read more at archive.frontpagemag.com ...
Muslim's are not angry. They're triumphant that the west is submitting to them and only became upset when they encounter resistance.

I must have been good this year b/c I've been having great reading karma. You know when you pass on a good book and get a GREAT book back! So I passed Ashworth Hall to Deborah, Nate's littlest sister, who just graduated from HS (CONGRATS DEB!!) And she gave me THREE CUPS OF TEA in return. An incredibly uplifting book about a man who builds schools for girls in Afghanistan. My karma kept getting better b/c I'd just watched Charlie Wilson's War (WARNING: DON'T WATCH THE FIRST SCENE) Charlie Wilson has very questionable ethics-and they make their point--but that is the truth of the movie? I know not an excuse. It does give you a historical perspective on Afghanistan (Don't worry Nate didn't watch-I'm a great censor)
All that to say I LOVE-when life, art & literature all intersect.
P.S. No, I didn't receive any $ from Amazon.com in the making of this post. But if you know how I could--please share the love!

Rice is the main component of the nutritious meal packages dispensed worldwide by the group, which is based in Raleigh, N.C., and led by the Rev. Ray Buchanan, a United Methodist pastor. "It (the cost) is having an absolutely direct impact on what we're going to do," Buchanan said.
As a result, Stop Hunger Now may have to reduce its goal to package 5.5 million meals during 2008 or rely on more donations from volunteers who put together the meals, he added.
Jeffrey D. Sachs, the well-known economist and special adviser to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, has described the worldwide food situation as "the worst crisis of its kind in more than 30 years," according to The New York Times.
And those affected most by the crisis are the poorest of the poor, according to June Kim, who monitors hunger-related projects for the United Methodist Committee on Relief. "A lot of people living on $2 a day are now having to pay more for food and getting less food," she said.
Trouble is everywhere, according to news reports:
- In the Horn of Africa, a lack of rain, poor harvests, soaring food prices and inflation, and violence have hampered food aid.
- In Haiti, where the cost of beans, corn and rice has skyrocketed, the very poor are literally eating mud patties made out of mud, oil and sugar.
- In Australia, a six-year drought has nearly destroyed the country's huge rice industry, reducing the rice crop by 98 percent.
- In the Philippines, the government has distributed monthly cash subsidies and "rice passes" in an effort to deal with food shortages.
In a world where one third of the population lives in what Americans would consider extreme poverty and two thirds live on less than $5 a day, the increase in price of rice will be the difference between life and death. More than a third of the world's population does not have:
- sufficient food
- clean water
- sufficient shelter
- access to an education
- any medical services
Here is a list of resources:

I sit alluringly at the top of these stairs, my tight sparkling blue and red dress showing off every curve of my perfect hips and body, and my long shiny black hair pulled into an elaborately loose updo that took hours to achieve. My life is calm and relaxing. My job is only to look beautiful and be gracious.
I have placed myself here in this spot on these stairs so that people can see my beauty as they enter our house. My husband's friends will be visiting soon and he will want them to see me and be jealous of me. He didn't specifically say this to me, but instinctively I know how to best grace this house. These talents have been ingrained in me since my birth. I please men with my beauty and delicacy. I am an exquisite decoration that brings the utmost pride to my household.
My husband is over twice my age and ordinary in appearance, but that's fine with me. He is wealthy and gives me everything I need. As long as I do my job, he is satisfied. In fact, I am reassured to know I am the most valuable thing in this house. Every visitor looks to me with desire and/or jealousy. They all either want me or wish they could be me. But only my husband can have me. I am fully satisfied with my life.
It never once occurs to me that the situation might change when I become older and less attractive. I only live in the now.

Interesting dream!ReplyDelete
Did the girl love her husband?
My feeling was it was not really love like we usually think of it, more like she was happy to have a good situation in general. I don't think she was raised with the same kinds of concepts of love and marriage as is commonly taught now.ReplyDelete

Let me say this right off the bat. I'm not one of those people that enjoys the presence of small children in my alternative fiction. I don't have a problem with kids, I love the little rug rats, but in alt fiction they tend to get in the way of grown up life. But I do have a few exceptions, this story is one of them. I like little Molly, and I think she's a great addition to the plot. Her relationship with "Dien" is one of the best things about this story.
Dylan is this sweet, butch television star that wanders into a diner late one night, and her whole life changes when she sets her eyes on Emily, the lone waitress on duty that night. Emily has no idea who Dylan Morgan is, so her attraction to the celebrity is genuine. Not so for little Molly, she recognizes her instantly, and is immediately smitten with her playful new friend. The characters in this story are endearing, and the plot is refreshing. There's also Solider Boy and Hippie Girl. They are the two women that. . .well, read it for yourself, you'll like them. Jenny Frame has done a great job with this one. I'm hoping that there will be a season 3!
Dylan Morgan Show Season One
Dylan Morgan is a successful TV star, and is famous all over the world. Unlike her TV persona, she is in fact an awkward loner, who struggles to relate and communicate with women. Estranged from her family, Dylan leads a lonely life. One night, while making her way home, she walks into a diner and her life is changed forever.
The Dylan Morgan Show - Morgan's Summer Special by Jenny Frame - 73 pages
After the Drama and turmoil of Season 2, The Morgan's hope to enjoy a quieter period in their family life. Dylan and Jackson set off to the Moroccan Sahara Desert to take part in the race of their lives! With the help of their new friend Sandy and all in the aid of charity, Will they survive everything the desert has to throw at them? Or will it change their lives forever...
Also by Jenny is a period piece titled The Dalton Family Saga
The first story is The Road to Dencotte House, its sequel is The Lady of Dencotte House
Dalton Family Saga 1: The Road to Dencotte House
London - 1950. Elizabeth Bentley sets off towards a new life, leaving her small countryside village of Ambleton. There she meets the Mysterious Lord Dalton, who introduces her to friends and a way of life that she could never have dreamed of. Meet the characters and read about the places that will change Beth from a shy naive young girl into a woman.
Life has been a whirlwind of activity for Alex, Beth and their good friends the Woodward's . A wedding to plan, a honeymoon, and along the way some new friends to meet. Will everything go off without a hitch? Or will influences from the couples past throw a spanner in the works?
A story of family, love, loyalty and passion. The "Real Housewives of Wolfgang County" gives you a snapshot into the lives of extraordinary creatures living ordinary lives . Dante Wolfgang, Alpha of the Wolfgang pack, would do anything to protect her family and her pack. Dante is surrounded by her most powerful and loyal wolves, who have only one goal in mind, to keep the pack strong and secure. When an intruder threatens, will the Alpha be able to protect what is hers? Find out in the new title by Jenny Frame. A story of a wolf pack that live by one motto. "Fortis et Fidelis". Strong and Faithful.

In her comments of my blog Dr. Lawrence asked me why I read Takaki like a novel but read Stiggins and Wineberg (and the articles) with a pen in hand. I read Takaki looking for things that I already know and use that previous knowledge to guide my reading. I also read Takaki thinking about what resources in American Memory or other parts of the Library's website relate to what I'm reading and how I would teach it to students. For example as I read the section on the Cherokee and the Trail of Tears I thought about a young women who used the Trail of Tears as the basis of her performance for the DC competition for National History Day. She was so angry in her performance and in her process paper noted that she still hated Andrew Jackson for uprooting the Indians. As I read Takaki I could better understand her hatred of Jackson though I wondered why she did not mention the landowners and the people that came in and didn't allow the Cherokee to take their belongings when they were evicted from their lands.
On the other hand Wineberg and Stigins have new information that I have not been exposed to and I use a pen to write questions or highlight a few things that I want to remember or think are interesting.
When I do my readind, I sit at my dining room table, grab a pen and start to read. This week as a I read Takaki I actually wrote on a separate piece of paper what resources I would use for teaching and an idea for a question I would want to ask students as part of a class assignment.
Part of my studying also takes place at work the next day. I find that if I discuss what I've read I will retain it better. So I talk to my colleagues (all of whom are former teachers) and they often tie what I've read to experiences in the classroom or experiences at work. In terms of Takaki one of my colleagues has a very activist husband who leads a very politically active church and often quotes civil rights leaders and historians in his blog. She will talk to me about some of her experiences with her husband and some of the reading he has done which also helps reinforce what I learned in my reading.

From the Arizona Daily Star, written by Alex Dalenberg (dated December 13, 2010) -
Arizonans making minimum wage will see a small bump in their paychecks starting Jan. 1 when the state minimum increases 10 cents per hour to keep pace with the national cost of living.
The state minimum wage will increase from $7.25 to $7.35 per hour on New Year's Day and remain at that level throughout 2011. The new state minimum will also be 10 cents higher than the federal minimum wage, $7.25 per hour, which is required for the vast majority of Arizona businesses.As Rebekah Friend, Executive Director of the Arizona AFL/CIO wrote (dated December 21, 2010) -
Tipped employees in Arizona will also get a 10-cent boost, from $4.25 to $4.35 per hour.
The minimum wage gives low-income working families some solution to these questions, and this New Year's Day it will automatically increase to keep up with a rising cost of living.
The minimum wage ensures that our society rewards hard work and that working families find economic security.
But until Arizona voters passed Proposition 202 in 2006 to raise the minimum wage and index it to inflation, its value had dropped to its lowest level in 51 years.
Now, yearly adjustments to keep up with the rising cost of living are helping to ensure that working families don't fall behind again.
On Jan. 1, the minimum wage in Arizona will increase by 10 cents to $7.35 an hour and to $4.35 an hour for tipped employees such as waiters.
A dime hardly seems like much, but the small boost gives low-paid workers more money to take care of their families - about $200 a year for a full-time minimum-wage employee.
These workers aren't simply high schoolers flipping burgers to pay for gas, as skeptics of the minimum wage sometimes portray them. Nationwide, adults make up more than 75 percent of those working for that rate.
Most significantly, when Arizonans voted to raise the minimum wage in 2006, they gave raises to the parents of an estimated 200,000 children.Starting tomorrow, minimum wage earners in six other states - Colorado, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont and Washington - will also see small adjustments to their wages.

Nothing like back-to-back birthday posts! This year, I am going the extra mile by adding in the sister-in-laws. As such, it was Nicole's birthday last week (look at me, getting more timely!) and I figure it is time to share some stories about her.
Just like Abby, Nicole has also been an excellent addition to the family. For one thing, she has been able to hold a mirror up to the family and get us to reflect upon the zaniness of our obsession with pirates, gambling, doughnuts and inflatable yard decorations. Of course, upon reflection we have rededicated ourselves to our love of these vices, but we have definitely increased the quality and volume of our laughter.
One of the most amazing contributions that Nicole has added to our life here in Zionsville, was one that at first glance seems small and mundane. But the glory of such a contribution could only be appreciate by being up close and personal with the end results.
Just over two years ago, we welcomed Amelia into our lives. It was a glorious time and we were happy to welcome both of my brothers and their wives into our home to show off our new bundle of joy. And to receive the benefit of their generosity.
Matt and Abby were very kind to watch Hannah and help out with Amelia while Susie continued to recuperate and so that I could do some much needed Spring cleaning outside, including putting out a significant amount of mulch. I still feel guilty that I didn't get to hang out with them more despite them making the trek down from Chicago, but the outside of the house needed a lot of help.
A few weeks later, Brian and Nicole came over from Pittsburgh. We were very excited to see them. Nicole was very excited to help out in any way that she could and help she did. One of the most impressive things that she did was offer to clean out our pantry. Now a pantry is not a simple place. It is typically a location in the house that takes a good deal of thought and effort to get the way you want. Often, we don't even confront our own pantries because it is takes too much of a dedicated effort to see the project to completion. It is much easier to just ignore the problem and go on living with your substandard food organization system.
Despite all of this, Nicole decided to go for it anyway. Our pantry was a giant mess. It was all my fault. Susie had been on bed rest for the past few months and I was in charge of grocery shopping and of course the requisite putting away of said groceries. Unfortunately, being neat and organized is not my specialty and so the problem just grew and grew.
But where I saw hopelessness and despair, Nicole saw an opportunity to help and share. And so she rolled up her sleeves and got to work. She was like a whirling dervish of canned vegetables, breakfast cereal and dried pasta. The process took most of the day and a lesser person would have probably turned back. But not Nicole. She stuck with it and in the end we were the proud recipients of a beautiful and well-organized pantry. I still consider it one of the nicest things anyone has done for us and to this day it is still appreciated.
My only regret is that the pantry couldn't have stayed in its pristine state forever. But with my inability to keep anything organized for more than about a week plus the presence in the house of a toddler who loves nothing more than digging into the pantry to see what kind of treasures that she can dig out to eat instead of the dinner that we have made for her, this thing of beauty had no chance of being permanent.
So instead, I like to think of it like on of those Zen rock gardens.
The beauty is in the impermanence of the medium and the joy is in the creating. So thank you Nicole for introducing the Zen pantry into our lives. So while the fruit of your labor has been harvested and spent, the beauty and the joy live on forever. And so does the gratitude.

i was messaged and asked to make a post about what to do and not to do when dealing with your blog, so here goes!
+ come on, girls, say it with me: LESS IS MORE. make your layout simple and easy to read. too many colors/designs/fonts create confusion and hurt the eyes of your viewers.
+ if you haven't already, make a twitter. it's the 21st century! besides, followers will now have the option to view you in your "normal habitat" and can get to know you better. and the plus side - faster communication.
+ simple language = good. you're not a businessman/woman talking to executives or people high up in command. it's a blog. talk to your followers as if they're your friends, and be friendly.
+ be open. if you post asking for advice and you don't get the answer you were looking for, simply say thank you and be appreciative that a follower not only read your post, but gave you her own input. which leads me to my next tip...
+ always be kind. if you have comments open to everyone and someone says something nasty, ignore it. it's hard, i know, but people don't always like others opinion so they debase themselves to being rude.
+ just as you wouldn't like rude comments on your blog, keep yourself from posting rude comments on others'. you wouldn't walk into someone's house and immediately insult everything about it, would you? keep it the same way for a blog. a blog is something personal, and if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all.
+ if you comment on people's posts, it's likely that they will return the favor. this is called making friends. if you are not similar with that terminology, well..... |ahem| moving on... but yes, if you like someone's post, write up something little and send it to them. getting comments/feedback is always a pleasure.
i must have left some things out, so feel free to post any good tips i've missed and i'll be sure to add them!

This chapter explains the structure/steps of hypothesis testing, the concept of significance, the relationship between confidence intervals and hypothesis testing, and Type I/II errors.
This chapter explains the structure/steps of hypothesis testing, the concept of significance, the relationship between confidence intervals and hypothesis testing, and Type I/II errors.
This text explains the differences between t-tests, z-tests, tests with proportions, and tests of correlation.
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to test hypotheses about differences between two or more means. The t-test based on the standard error of the difference between two means can only be used to test differences between two means. When there are more than two means, it is possible to compare each mean with each other mean using t-tests. However, conducting multiple t-tests can lead to severe inflation of the Type I error rate. (Click here to see why) Analysis of variance can be used to test differences among several means for significance without increasing the Type I error rate. This chapter covers designs with between-subject variables.
When an experimenter is interested in the effects of two or more independent variables, it is usually more efficient to manipulate these variables in one experiment than to run a separate experiment for each variable. Moreover, only in experiments with more than one independent variable is it possible to test for interactions among variables. Experimental designs in which every level of every variable is paired with every level of every other variable are called factorial designs.
This article describes an activity that illustrates contingency table (two-way table) analysis. Students use contingency tables to analyze the "unusual episode" (the sinking of the ocean liner Titanic)data (from Dawson 1995) and attempt to use their analysis to deduce the origin of the data. The activity is appropriate for use in an introductory college statistics course or in a high school AP statistics course. Key words: contingency table (two-way table), conditional distribution
In these activities designed to introduce sampling distributions and the Central Limit Theorem, students generate several small samples and note patterns in the distributions of the means and proportions that they themselves calculate from these samples. Outside of class, students generate samples of dice rolls and coin spins and draw random samples from small populations for which data is given on each individual. Students report their sample means and proportions to the instructor who then compiles the results into a single data file for in-class exploration of sampling distributions and the Central Limit Theorem. Key words: Sampling distribution, sample mean, sample proportion, central limit theorem
Within-subject designs are designs in which one or more of the independent variables are within-subject variables. Within-subjects designs are often called repeated-measures designs since within-subjects variables always involve taking repeated measurements from each subject. Within-subject designs are extremely common in psychological and biomedical research.
When two variables are related, it is possible to predict a person's score on one variable from their score on the second variable with better than chance accuracy. This section describes how these predictions are made and what can be learned about the relationship between the variables by developing a prediction equation.
This resource gives a thorough definition of confidence intervals. It shows the user how to compute a confidence interval and how to interpret them. It goes into detail on how to construct a confidence interval for the difference between means, correlations, and proportions. It also gives a detailed explanation of Pearson's correlation. It also includes exercises for the user.
This chapter discusses a collection of tests called distribution-free tests, or nonparametric tests, that do not make any assumptions about the distribution from which the numbers were sampled. The main advantage of distribution-free tests is that they provide more power than traditional tests when the samples are from highly-skewed distributions.

The War Crime Controversy in Post-War Liberia
Written by Arthur B. Dennis
Wednesday, 02 June 2010
Source: http://www.liberianforum.com/Articles/The-War-Crime-Controversy-in-Post-War-Liberia.html?ac=0
This article seeks to address the war crime controversy in Post-War Liberia. It is dedicated to those who are searching for credible answers to the controversial war crime agenda at home.
Definition of War Crime
The term "war crime" broadly refers to prohibited acts committed in time of war against a person or property protected under the 1949 Geneva Conventions. Under international law, war crimes are grave breaches of the 1949 Geneva Conventions known today as "International Humanitarian Law."
The 1949 Geneva Conventions consist of Protocol I and Protocol II. The minimum rules of conduct adopted under Protocol I apply to international armed conflict between states; whereas the minimum rules of conduct adopted under Protocol II apply to internal armed conflict or civil war between local citizen groups. In olden- day armed conflicts, states were accountable for war crimes, not individuals. In today's armed conflicts, military and civilians are individually accountable for war crimes, not states.
International Criminal Court (ICC)
War crime has been an international crime for over a century. Yet, in the years before the 21st century, there were no permanent international criminal court to prosecute cases of war crime. The way of dealing with war crime was to set up Ad Hoc War Crime Tribunals under the UN System. For example, 1945 Nuremberg War Crime Tribunal, 1946 Tokyo War Crime Tribunal, 1994 Rwanda War Crime tribunal, etc. The international Court of Justice was created in October 1945, but its role is to settle disputes between UN member states. However, on July 1, 2002, a Permanent International Criminal Court (ICC), established July 17, 1998, came into force. It is based in The Hague, Netherland.
The ICC prosecutes military and civilians, age 18 or older without regard to status in government or society. It exercises jurisdiction over the most serious crimes of concern to the whole international community, committed after July 1, 2002. The most serious crimes in question are defined under Articles 5, 6, 7, & 8 of Rome Statute. Under international law, the term "most serious crimes" refer to gross abuses of fundamental human rights in wartime as well as in peacetime. The legal term used for such crimes is international crimes or crimes which threaten world peace and security.
These crimes include crime of genocide (willful killing of one or more members with intent to eliminate a group); crimes against humanity (willful killing of unarmed civilians, individually and collectively); and war crimes (crimes against humanity; genocide, etc). Under ICC statute, if a crime of genocide or crime against humanity is committed in peacetime, it is a gross violation of International Human Rights Law, and the ICC will be there to ensure justice. For example, the 2009 anti-junta demonstration in Guinea where over 100 civilians were killed by soldiers was a crime against humanity committed in peacetime. However, if a crime of genocide or crime against humanity is committed in an armed conflict, it is a grave violation of International Humanitarian Law, and the ICC will also be there to ensure justice. The primary goal is to end the culture of impunity in peacetime as well as in wartime.
The ICC operates under the principle of complementarity. Under this principle, the role of the ICC is to complement or serve as a back-up jurisdiction for ICC state courts in dealing with international crimes. The role of ICC states is to serve as first responders to international crimes committed on their territories. The ICC will step in only if the ICC state local court is unable or unwilling to play its role. The term "unable' applies only if the ICC state has collapsed into anarchy; whereas the term "unwilling" is determined if the ICC state is shielding the perpetrator.
In either case, the ICC state is required under Article 14 to refer the case to ICC for adjudication. Or surrender the accused upon the prosecutor requests. If the ICC state fails to do either one, the Rome Statute confers proprio motu (discretionary) powers on ICC prosecutor to take initiative and bring the accused to justice. Family members of victims of international crimes can also ask the ICC to intervene if an ICC state tries to shield a perpetrator. ICC states are those that signed the ICC Treaty.
The War Crime Controversy in Post-War Liberia
Liberia signed the ICC treaty on July 17, 1998. On September 22, 2004, the Liberian Legislature ratified the ICC treaty without enacting an exclusive war crime legislation. However, Article 24 of Rome Statute expressly provides that no crime committed before July 1, 2002 will be prosecuted under ICC jurisdiction. Based on this statute of limitation, only former war actors under the 2003 Akosombo Agreement are duly eligible to face trial under ICC jurisdiction. The other former war actors, who were on stage way back before July 1, 2002, are not eligible to face trial under ICC jurisdiction.
However, there are two available options that can be used to deal with alleged war crimes committed between December 1989 and June 2002. The first option is to invoke the principle of territorial jurisdiction. Under this principle, every sovereign state is duty-bound under international law to exercise jurisdiction over international crime committed on its territory. Under international law, Liberia is duty-bound to probe the alleged war crimes committed on its territory during the civil war. The second option is to ask the United Nations for a Special Court similar to one in Sierra Leone.
Charles Taylor's trial in The Hague absolutely has nothing to do with any situation Liberia. He is being tried under the auspices of the Special Court for Sierra Leone established January 26, 2002 based on the Agreement reached between the United Nations and the Government of Sierra Leone. Taylor is facing 11 counts of war crime indictment for supporting the RUF insurgency in Sierra Leone. President Ellen-Sirleaf handed Taylor over for trial because Liberia is an ICC state and owes a duty under Article 89 of Rome Statute to surrender any of its citizen accused of war crime.
Chucky Taylor Trial
Chucky Taylor is a U. S. born citizen. He was indicted and tried under U. S. Criminal Code 18USC Section 2340A which prohibits U. S. national from engaging in torture against any person inside and outside of the United States. We understand some Liberians in the U. S. filed a complaint in Florida Court against his war record in Liberia. He was tried and found guilty, serving 97-year jail sentence.Dr. George Boley's Detention
It is rumored that Dr. Boley is being detained for war crime. If Dr. Boley is a U. S. citizen, then the rumor could be true. Because the 1996 U. S War Crime Act applies to U. S. nationals; and Dr. Boley was the leader of LPC whose faction was recently accused by a U. S Journalist of recruiting underage children in the Liberian civil war. Underage children recruitment is also a crime under the U. S. Child Soldier Accountability Act of 2008. However, this Act has 10-year statute of limitation. Boley could be free.
A War Crime Court for Liberia
If the ICC sets up a War Crime Court for Liberia, only war crimes committed after July 1, 2002 will be probed. And the following groups may be indicted to face their accusers.
The first group to appear will consist of faction leaders. They will be indicted under the law of command responsibility as stipulated under Article 28 of Rome Statute. The term command responsibility refers to the failure of leaders and commanders to supervise the activities of their fighters, resulting in gross human rights abuses in the war. Those who will appear under command responsibility include the faction leaders; military war cabinet; field commanders; and civilian cabinet, including civilians appointed in government by warring factions. They will be indicted under the law of complicity, associating to facilitate the war efforts as stipulated under Article 25 (d).
The second group to appear will consist of accused fighters. They will be indicted under the law of individual responsibility under Article 25 of ICC Statute. The law of individual responsibility is designed to individually punish those who pulled the triggers as well as those who ordered the triggers pulled, and those who financed the triggers to be pulled. Under Article 26, accused fighters who were under age 18 at the time of the alleged crimes will be exonerated and treated like victims of child soldier rather than perpetrators. The third group to appear will consist of war financiers and logistic suppliers. They will be indicted under the law of complicity, aiding and abetting as provided under Article 25(c).
However, because people to be indicted will include former faction leaders and a large number of trained former fighters, some security incidents may develop in the indictment process. That is, some people may put up resistance against their indictment and could be supported by certain former fighters in order to create an incident exactly like the Camp Johnson Road incident in September 1998 when the government ordered the arrest of General Roosevelt Johnson.
Concluding Comments
There are four major roadblocks, standing in the way of war crime indictment in Post-War Liberia. First, as we noted, only former war actors under the Akosombo Accords are eligible to face trial under ICC jurisdiction, not former war actors who were on stage before July 1, 2002. In this case, it would be grossly unfair to prosecute one group of war actors, and allow one group of war actors to go free.
Second, Liberia is a founding member of ICC. Therefore, it needs an exclusive war crime legislation exactly like the U. S. 1996 War Crime Act to prosecute war crimes. Without this legislation, war crime trial in Liberia will be a mockery of justice.
Third, from the day the ICC came into force on July 1, 2002, marked the end of the age-old tradition of setting up an Ad Hoc Tribunal under the UN System to prosecute war crimes. Therefore, the United Nations may not consider Liberia's request for a Special Court to probe former war actors, who were on stage between December 1989 and June 30 2002. Largely, because the UN policymakers may not want to be viewed as delegating or sharing the jurisdiction of the ICC with an Ad Hoc Tribunal.
Fourth, there are absolutely no indications that Liberia will (anytime soon) probe war crimes committed on its territory as required under the principle of territorial jurisdiction. It appears that government policymakers who have the powers to initiate this process fear that "If they Haul Ropes, the Ropes will Haul Bush." They also seem to fear the possible security fallouts that will follow in case certain veteran warlords, who are still enjoying the support of their fighters, are indicted. The only available option is to treat the war crime noise with conspiracy of silence. This is where we are in the war crime controversy. However, my next article will advance proposals to end this controversy.

Everyone is a genius
Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. – A Einstein
Drawing the line in Liberia
Crimes sponsored, committed, or masterminded by handful of individuals cannot be blamed upon an entire nationality. In this case, Liberians! The need for post-war justice is a step toward lasting peace, stability and prosperity for Liberia. Liberia needs a war crimes tribunal or some credible legal forum that is capable of dealing with atrocities perpetrated against defenseless men, women and children during the country's brutal war. Without justice, peace shall remain elusive and investment in Liberia will not produce the intended results. - Bernard Gbayee Goah
Men with unhealthy characters should not champion any noble cause
They pretend to advocate the cause of the people when their deeds in the dark mirror nothing else but EVIL!!
When evil and corrupt men try to champion a cause that is so noble … such cause, how noble it may be, becomes meaningless in the eyes of the people - Bernard Gbayee Goah.

If Liberia must move forward ...
If Liberia must move forward in order to claim its place as a civilized nation amongst world community of nations, come 2017 elections, Liberians must critically review the events of the past with honesty and objectivity. They must make a new commitment to seek lasting solutions. The track records of those who are presenting themselves as candidates for the position of "President of the Republic of Liberia" must be well examined. Liberians must be fair to themselves because results from the 2011 elections will determine the future of Liberia's unborn generations to come - Bernard Gbayee Goah
Liberia's greatest problem!
While it is true that an individual may be held responsible for corruption and mismanagement of funds in government, the lack of proper system to work with may as well impede the process of ethical, managerial, and financial accountability - Bernard Gbayee Goah
What do I think should be done?
The situation in Liberia is Compound Complex and cannot be fixed unless the entire system of government is reinvented.
Liberia needs a workable but uncompromising system that will make the country an asylum free from abuse, and other forms of corruption.
Liberia needs a workable but uncompromising system that will make the country an asylum free from abuse, and other forms of corruption.
Any attempt to institute the system mentioned above in the absence of rule of law is meaningless, and more detrimental to Liberia as a whole - Bernard Gbayee Goah
Liberia's Natural Resources
Besides land water and few other resources, most of Liberia's dependable natural resources are not infinite, they are finite and therefore can be depleted.
Liberia's gold, diamond, and other natural resources will not always be an available source of revenue generation for its people and its government. The need to invent a system in government that focuses on an alternative income generation method cannot be over emphasized at this point - Bernard Gbayee Goah

Liberia needs a proper system
If Liberians refuse to erect a proper system in place that promotes the minimization of corruption and mismanagement of public funds by government institutions, and individuals, there will come a time when the value of the entire country will be seen as a large valueless land suited on the west coast of Africa with some polluted bodies of waters and nothing else. To have no system in place in any country is to have no respect for rule of law. To have no respect for rule of law is to believe in lawlessness. And where there is lawlessness, there is always corruption - Bernard Gbayee Goah

Solving problems in the absence of war talks
As political instability continues to increase in Africa, it has become abundantly clear that military intervention as a primary remedy to peace is not a durable solution. Such intervention only increases insecurity and massive economic hardship. An existing example which could be a valuable lesson for Liberia is Great Britain, and the US war on terror for the purpose of global security. The use of arms whether in peace keeping, occupation, or invasion as a primary means of solving problem has yield only little results. Military intervention by any country as the only solution to problem solving will result into massive military spending, economic hardship, more fear, and animosity as well as increase insecurity. The alternative is learning how to solve problems in the absence of war talks. The objective of such alternative must be to provide real sustainable human security which cannot be achieved through military arm intervention, or aggression. In order to achieve results that will make the peaceful coexistence of all mankind possible, there must be a common ground for the stories of all sides to be heard. I believe there are always three sides to every story: Their side of the story, Our side of the story, and The truth – Bernard Gbayee Goah
