We believe in the power of stories to create change.
Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign. But stories can also be used to empower, and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people. But stories can also repair that broken dignity. - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Stronger is a spoken word piece and visual poem written by Shehariah Johnson, a domestic violence survivor. The DC Coalition Against Domestic Violence is dedicated to increasing survivor voice and leadership in the domestic violence movement and hopes to shift the way that policymakers, media and the community understands and responds to the complexity of domestic violence.
The Coalition hopes to support the power and leadership of survivor storytellers, particularly those of color, those who are queer identified, those with varying abilities and citizenship statuses, and those who must continuously navigate barriers when fleeing abuse. Survivors are the experts in their own experiences and their voices should drive our priorities, inform policy and more. When we speak out and share our stories, we demand to be heard.
Watch Stronger
Take Action
Lasting policy change requires that we come together and share what is happening in our communities. Survivors have a powerful role in changing policy. If you're interested in sharing your story with policy makers please sign up here.

Plaintiffs and defendants both need to have an idea how much a case is worth. If you are thinking about filing a case as a plaintiff, you need to know if it will be worth going through the hassle, emotional stress, and costs. You need to know whether you should settle, and for how much, or if you should take the case to trial. If you are a defendant, you need to know what kind of financial impact the case could have. You must know what you are up against, when a settlement offer is reasonable, and when it is too much to pay.

You have to see what this crying toddler does when her mom whips out the camera
Trying to scramble up a way to get a toddler to stop crying is something all parents can identify with. And now thanks to the proliferation of smartphones and picture-taking, there may be a brand new way to change an upset infant's mood. If this sweet little girl is any indication, all a parent might have to do once the crying starts is point the camera and get ready to shoot!
A hilarious video has been posted on YouTube of an adorable little girl who seems to be pretty upset about something. She walks around pouting, a big frown on her little face and a hand on her forehead as if nothing can get her to forget her pain. Nothing, except . . . a camera pointed at her! As soon as she realizes she is on the other end of the lens, the little girl strikes what probably is her favorite pose. This instantly cracks up the adults in the room, one of which is probably her mama.
Too cute!

MasterChef Australia series 8 to premiere on May 01, 2016
We monitor the news to keep you updated on the release date of MasterChef Australia series 8. New episodes are scheduled to premiere on Network Ten on May 01, 2016. If you want to get reminded of the show's premiere date, please, sign up for updates below.
Basic info and cast
MasterChef Australia is an Australian television cooking competition program that is currently airing on the Network Ten channel in Australia. The cooking competition show was created by Franc Roddam (who developed the original show) and it is based on the original British series of the same name. The Australian program is produced by Shine Australia and exec produced by Amanda Bainbridge, Alenka Henry, Jaala Webster and Leo Faber. Season 1 of MasterChef Australia premiered on Network Ten on April 27, 2009. The competition series is currently in its seventh season.
Ambitions and crazy drive, speed, high temperatures, fire, challenging yourself and others... This is the biggest culinary competition in history! Intense cooking thriller, in which the fight for the apron unfolds – the apron of Super Chef Australia! After the qualifying round, the top 50 Australian culinary enthusiasts of all ages and professions travel to Sydney, where they are repeatedly tested – from the simple ability to use a knife to confusing and complicated culinary tasks. Only 20 would go to the finals. Only one would get an apron and a hundred thousand dollar grand prize!
Ratings, reviews and possible renewal
Season 7 of MasterChef Australia debuted on Network Ten on May 5, 2015. Although the ratings of the most recent cycles of the show were not as high as for cycles 1 through 3, they have been able to maintain at around 1 million viewers per episode, on average. The cooking competition series is still very popular amongst many viewers who have praised the balance of entertainment, skill and overall presentation which is more fun-loving in its Australian attitude in comparison with the original British format. There is a very good chance that the show will get renewed for another run.
Latest developments

Mets manager Terry Collins was rewarded with Saturday night's decision to go with Ruben Tejada over Wilmer Flores at shortstop. It will be interesting to see how long Collins rides the hot hand after Tejada's play in the 3-2 victory over Philadelphia.
Last weekend, Collins went with Tejada in consecutive games after a string of Flores' errors. At the time I wondered if the Mets were greasing the skids for benching Flores full time. Tonight, with Jon Niese, who throws a lot of groundballs on the mound, Collins went with the better glove and the thought returned.
This time, Tejada did something to warrant staying in the lineup with two hits and starting a key double play that literally saved the game for the Mets. What Tejada did was give the Mets – for one game, at least – the type of shortstop play they expected of him when he assumed the job after Jose Reyes' departure.
Tejada doubled lead to off the fifth and scored on an error, but in the eighth is when he earned his money. The Phillies loaded the bases with one out when Carlos Ruiz ripped a hard grounder Tejada backhanded to start an inning-ending and game-saving 6-4-3 double play.
"[Ruiz] hit the ball very hard,'' Tejada said. "We had to, no matter what, had to make that play.''
Considering Flores' defensive problems, one had to think he wouldn't have made that play and the Phillies could have at least tied the game.
The Mets' hadn't been happy with Tejada's work ethic the past few years and some thought he might not have made the roster coming out of spring training, but that appears to have changed.
"It's the hardest I've seen him work,'' Collins said. "He's kept himself ready to play. Here's a guy who wants to get back in there.''
Collins plans to start Tejada Sunday at second base and you wonder how much of a chance he will get.

This program began when a handful of visionaries decided to leverage the enormous strengths of Boston College and the vibrant Boston psychological community to train Counseling Psychologists equipped to advocate for social justice through their clinical work, research, teaching, leadership, and outreach. They succeeded.
Today, our APA accredited program achieves its mission and aims/learning outcomes by remaining steadfastly committed to providing outstanding training in the scientist-practitioner model. Our degree candidates have access to a breadth of top-notch practice opportunities in diverse mental health settings, including universities, schools, hospitals, and outpatient community mental health facilities. They are closely mentored by our internationally recognized counseling psychology faculty, who are applying their cutting-edge and purposeful research to address some of the most complex and challenging questions facing our society. Students are exposed to areas of research spanning school, workplace, community, and international concerns, including immigration, trauma resiliency and recovery, domestic violence, the psychology of working, bias-based bullying, culture, race, and gender issues, youth mentoring, and positive youth development.
While we aim to produce outstanding scientist-practitioners, we also emphasize the importance of training in a context that develops well-rounded individuals. To this end, we provide an intimate setting of safety, diversity, and mutual respect that encourages self-exploration and personal growth, as well as meaningful involvement in our own community and our wider society. Together, we aim to advance knowledge and engage in practice that will build relationships beyond our classrooms, create synergies among diverse disciplines and connect colleagues to create new scholarship and models for change, all with the ultimate goal of enhancing the human condition.

Spend some time away from the big cities enjoying 4-12 weeks on a ranch with a Canadian family. You'll be helping them out around the farm just like a member of the family, and you'll receive all your meals and accommodation.
All farms and ranches are screened in person and our partners in Canada will be there for you should you need them while you're with the farmstay.
Not only will this be an amazing opportunity for you to learn more about horses, cattle and other animals, you will also learn about the local community you are placed in, and about farming in general. Most horse ranches are western based so you'll get to be a cowboy for a few weeks.
Joining this cultural exchangeprogram allows you to get involved with real farming families in beautiful regions of Canada. You get to ride and train horses, drive the tractor and much more (depending on availability).
You'll arrive as a stranger and leave as a local.
Farming life is not always easy and every family member (including you) will be expected to pitch in with all the chores. You will be matched to a suitable farm based on your goals and experience.
We not only take the your requirements into consideration but also try to match your personality with the personality of the farm family. Usually we can get a good grasp of your personality by paying attention to how you write your letter of motivation, your pictures and work background. To ensure an even better match, we will arrange a skype interview with our matching cowboy in Canada he will chat to you about possible ranch placements and figure out one to suit you best.
Since you will be living with the family 24/7 it is important that you all get along. Our Canadian partners know the families well and have a good matching success record. They are also there, in Canada, to support you should you need anything.
Placement Locations are in the rural areas of British Columbia, Alberta or Saskatchewan.
The only thing we look for is a love for the outdoors and rugged lifestyle, love for animals and not being afraid of getting dirty. Hard working and flexible are two other aspects we require from our candidates.
The activities you will carry out differ for each farm. But here is a general overview of the activities that you might be doing on your farm.
Most farms are horse farms but here is a list of types of farms available;
You can either go direct to your Farm Stay or via Vancouver for a night (say if your flights into Canada arrive late) before heading to your Farm Stay. Placements will be in British Columbia, Alberta or Saskatchewan.
We will let you know the closest airport and help you book the correct flight accordingly. You may have to stay overnight in the city before taking the Greyhound bus to the farm the following day. If so, we will book the hostel and provide the schedule.
You fly to Vancouver first (sightseeing etc) and then go to the farm either by
No you only need a visitor permit and our travel department will help you with that.
"I really feel like part of the family, they take me on all of their family trips so I have seen lots of places. They also plan fun activities (like white water rafting, canoeing, day at the beach, shopping etc). I love the horses on the ranch. I really like working with them (thats is my favourite thing, working with the horses) . I have learned so much since I've been here, I was taught a entire different way of handling horses and I love it. We go on lots of rides so that is awesome!! I ride Tamara (thats one of their horses) and I love her! It is so great to work with her. Every day at the ranch is different I do lots of different things (like painting sheds, pulling weeds, feeding the animals, working on the fence etc.) but I work with the horses every day! It is a fantastic experience, and I am really happy about the ranch and the fantastic family you have found for me. Thank you for that!! Canada is a beautiful country, I love living here!" - Lisanne"I had a really good time at the winery and I really enjoyed the conversations and the good wine I had with that family! =) I'm really grateful that you found me this place and that I matched with this family. I learned a lot and I had fun on the farm and also I learned a few things out about myself. The family was really helpful and I always felt comfortable around them." - Nathalie

WT24 Desk
Seoul — Asian stock markets were little changed on Wednesday as investors took to the sidelines ahead of the Federal Reserve's announcement of the result of its meeting,AP reports.
KEEPING SCORE: Japan's Nikkei 225 was flat at 20,298.80 and South Korea's Kospi edged down 0.1 percent to 2,413.63. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index added 0.3 percent to 28,117.50. China's Shanghai Composite Index added 0.1 percent to 3,359.74. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.2 percent to 5,701.10. Stocks in Southeast Asia were mixed.
FED WATCH: At the end of its two-day meeting on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve is widely expected to announce that it will begin to reduce its enormous bond portfolio, which reached $4.5 trillion. The move will gradually increase long-term borrowing rates. While shrinking the Fed's balance sheet is much expected, when and how the Fed will manipulate its target for short-term interest rates is less clear. After leaving its benchmark rate at a record low for seven years after the 2008 crisis, the Fed has modestly raised the rate four times since December 2015 to a still-low range of 1 percent to 1.25 percent.
ANALYST'S TAKE: "The Fed's view will likely play the key role in driving price action. Investors are likely to look past the Fed's interest rate decision and even the plan to shrink the Fed's balance sheet, focusing primarily upon the Fed's forward guidance," said Jingyi Pan, a market strategist at IG in Singapore. "This could come in multiple forms such as the Fed's economic projections, statement and also Fed chair Yellen's testimony."
WALL STREET: U.S. stock markets finished with a slight gain on Tuesday. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 0.1 percent to 2,506.65. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 0.2 percent to 22,370.80. The Nasdaq composite added 0.1 percent to 6,461.32. The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks declined 0.1 percent, to 1,440.40.
OIL: Benchmark U.S. crude added 35 cents to $50.25 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 45 cents to settle at $49.90 a barrel on Tuesday. Brent crude, used to price international oils, gained 24 cents to $55.38 per barrel in London.
CURRENCIES: The dollar fell to 111.54 yen from 111.58 yen. The euro strengthened to $1.2009 from $1.1996.

In Turkey as well as in India, perhaps even anywhere in Asia, one should never ask a leading question or a question that requires only a "yes" or "no" answer. It took us a while to figure that out, even longer to rid ourselves of this treacherous habit of asking, "Is this the way to the Shanti House?". Of course, the response was "Yes, sir", communicated with a gracious smile. Off we'd go in the wrong direction.
Often, a cordial response would come with an affirmative repetition of the question. For example, in Istanbul, the following is a fairly typical language exchange.
Do you have vegetarian dishes?
Yes, sir, vegetarian dishes.
Which ones are they (pointing)?
He (the small restaurant keeper) vaguely directs attention towards a few dishes, displayed at the counter.
Is this one vegetarian (guvetch, a traditional Turkish meat stew)?
Yes, vegetarian, this one – vegetarian.
What about those pieces of meat?
Meat? Yes, meat, this is meat.
Not vegetarian (we begin to lose our bearings here)?
Yes, not vegetarian, with a charming smile.
We try another route.
Do you have guvetch without meat?
Yes, guvetch without meat, no problem. "No problem" is another common phrase in Asia. Often it means that it is no problem if you have a complaint or you miss your bus, or you have been overcharged.
Fifteen minutes later a waiter brings our plates with nice and steamy vegetarian guvetch. After digging our forks into it, we discover suspicious pieces of – meat. When we point at these pieces, the owner seems genuinely surprised. Reading our exasperated faces, he regroups, "No meat, not good". "Yes", we say, "not vegetarian".
He takes our plates back and concocts some strange salads which were not even on the menu (his restaurant serves basically meat).

text: What words could truly encapsulate this knowing. That is the struggle many have had when attempting to talk or point at this reality. Words by there very nature point at two and yet what this knowing is in actuality one. The elimination of all separation in which separation appears to be happening and even at times feels very real. So in order to break free of this struggle duality is embraced as another manifestation of this oneness. The Sufi story of the grape in which a group of men argue over different words for the grape. It is only when one who understands all their languages is able to resolve the argument that we see that whatever terminology, method, pointer or way is used. Everything is pointing to this one reality. The seeing through of the different terminologies used gives great freedom and an ability to see freedom through as many different lenses as you want further echoing the sufi maxim of "peace with all and enmity with none". This expansiveness is your true nature and is available at all times. Once seen life becomes a walking, sitting, standing meditation, for there is nothing that is not this reality. In the end one moves from names,terminology and methods into reality and paradoxically then the realisation arises that even when I was method, pointer and technique. Even when I was seeking. I was still this reality. Still this freedom. The end becoming then the beginning shows that as a rainbow may have many colours, as as we travel through the rainbow even though we may experience different colours. It is still the one rainbow. A lifetime, a journey all happening in an instant.

text: I upgraded my router the other night to Alchemy from Satori and this time I decided to play around with the QoS section. I thought it was pretty straightforward but I'm starting to wonder if I've incorrectly configured it. I gave express priority to http, https, html and bulk to bittorrent. Nothing else. However when running four torrents simultaneously (using BitSpir program) and trying to browse web pages it's just next to impossible. The sites load up extremely slow and it's as if I have no QoS enabled at all. I have set my upload to 720 and download to 4500 since I'm on a 800/5000 cable connection. Running WinXP SP2. This not only affects my machine running the torrent program but the wife's laptop suffers from slow browsing too. Any ideas? Are there more settings I should enable in the router to get this to work properly? Thanks. Lobo


text: (Reuters) – Pascal Gross scored either side of halftime as promoted Brighton and Hove Albion enjoyed their first Premier League win after a 34-year absence from the top flight when they beat West Bromwich Albion 3-1 on Saturday. Gross broke the deadlock on the cusp of halftime, slotting the ball into the bottom right corner, and scored again three minutes into the second half, this time into the bottom left corner. The German midfielder then assisted Tomer Hemed for a comfortable third goal in the 63rd minute, following a goalkeeping blunder by Ben Foster. Midfielder James Morrison scored for West Brom in the 77th minute, with an assist from Oliver Burke, and the visitors came close to a second goal in injury time but Australian keeper Mat Ryan was able to block the shot.(Reporting by Laura Hamill; Editing by Clare Fallon)

Interestingly, with a nod to the Try CoffeeScript online app, he recommends that proposals be made more interactive:
By writing such a source-to-source translator, existing language users can experiment with the new syntax easily in a browser environment without requiring a separate compilation pass. This also allows users to build an in-browser translation UI (similar to try CoffeeScript), which can improve general understanding of the new syntax and produce important feedback.
I feel this could be one of those watersheds, in which an outdated form inherited from an earlier era is replaced with a new hybrid of text and interactive software. This is a fascinating glimpse of the future. Can you imagine the day when every proposal for a new public works project or real estate development is required to be accompanied by interactive online tools for exploring potential consequences and outcomes?

Quick Reference
(1901–1981) Mexican–American physical and theoretical chemist
Eyring, a grandson of American missionaries who had become Mexican citizens, was born at Colonia Juarez in Mexico. He thus first came to America in 1912 as a Mexican citizen and did not take American citizenship until 1935. He was educated at the University of Arizona and the University of California, where he obtained his PhD in 1927. He then held a number of junior appointments before joining the Princeton faculty in 1931, becoming professor of chemistry there in 1938. Eyring moved to a similar chair at the University of Utah, holding the post until his retirement in 1966.
Eyring, the author of 9 books and over 600 papers, was as creative a chemist as he was productive. His main work was probably in the field of chemical kinetics with his transition-state theory. Since the time of Sven Arrhenius it had been appreciated that the rate constant of a chemical reaction depended on temperature according to an equation of the form: k = Ae–E/RT
The constant A is the frequency factor of the reaction; EA is the activation energy. The values of A and EA can be found experimentally for given reactions. Eyring's contribution to the field was to develop a theory capable of predicting reaction rates.
In a reaction, the atoms move – i.e., molecules break and new molecules form. If the potential energy of a set of atoms is plotted against the distances between atoms for chosen arrangements, the result is a surface. Positions of low energy on the surface correspond to molecules; a reaction can be thought of as a change from a low-energy point, over a higher energy barrier, to another low-energy position.
A. Marcelin, in 1915, had shown that reactions could be represented in this way, and in 1928 Fritz London pointed out that it was possible to calculate potential surfaces using quantum mechanics. Eyring, with Michael Polyani, first calculated such a surface (1929–30) for three hydrogen atoms and Eyring later went on to calculate the potential surfaces for a number of reactions. The activation energy of the reaction is the energy barrier that the system must surmount.
Eyring later (1935) showed how to calculate the frequency factor (A). He assumed that the configuration of atoms at the top of the energy barrier – the 'activated complex' – could be treated as a normal molecule except for a vibrational motion in the direction of the reaction path. Assuming that the activated complex was in equilibrium with the reactants and applying statistical mechanics, Eyring derived a general expression for reaction rate. Eyring's theory, called absolute-rate theory, is described in his book (with Samuel Glasstone and Keith J. Laidler) The Theory of Rate Processes (1941).

Selling blood tests online for over 15 years.
We have processed over 3 million results.
Get secure and personalised results online.
A qualified doctor will interpret your results.
Sugar that is not used for energy is left in the blood, where it attaches itself to haemoglobin - the part of the red blood cell that carries oxygen - in a process called glycosylation. The more glucose there is in the bloodstream, the more glucose builds up in the cells. This binding of sugar to molecules in cells is one way diabetes causes physical damage and health problems.
This Glycosylated HB blood test measures the amount of sugar that is attached to the haemoglobin in red blood cells, with results given as a percentage. Because red blood cells live in the bloodstream for about four months, the HbA1c test shows the average blood sugar for the past several months.
Unlike a regular blood sugar test, the HbA1c test is not affected by short-term changes. So even though you may have had high blood sugar on occasion, a good glycosylated haemoglobin result can show that, overall, you are doing a good job of controlling your diabetes.
This blood test should be done every three to six months, depending on your treatment programme and level of control.
This blood test is for anyone monitoring diabetes, looking for a definitive diabetes diagnosis or for people who wish to monitor their blood sugar control as part of an overall healthy living strategy.
We send you an easy-to-use kit to collect your blood sample.
Post your sample to our lab in the prepaid envelope provided.
View results securely in your own personal dashboard.
Our tests are not a substitute for seeing your doctor, especially if you are suffering symptoms. Our doctors will interpret your results based on the information you have provided, but will not diagnose, consult or provide any treatment. You will be advised to see your doctor for any necessary follow-up action.
HbA1c or Haemoglobin A1c is also known as glycosylated haemoglobin and is a longer term measure of glucose levels in your blood than a simple blood glucose test. Glucose attaches itself to the haemoglobin in your red blood cells, and as your cells live for around 8-12 weeks it provides a good indication of the level of sugar in your blood over a 2-3 month period.
This is an important measure for diagnosing type 2 diabetes as well as understanding how well blood sugar levels are being controlled in people who have already been diagnosed with diabetes.
We will send you your Diabetes Check finger-prick blood sample collection kit which contains everything you need to take your blood sample in the comfort of your own home. If you are unsure about completing a finger-prick blood sample collection you will have the opportunity to select a clinic-based venous blood sample option during the checkout process.How to collect a finger-prick blood sample
Your Diabetes Check includes 1st class postage and packaging for you to send your blood sample directly to our laboratory for analysis. If you live in an area where you cannot rely on the post or you simply want to ensure that your sample arrives at the laboratory the following day, you may wish to send your blood sample guaranteed next day delivery for extra reassurance.
Your blood sample will be analysed at one of our chosen laboratories. You can be assured of fast, accurate results from one of our accredited independent providers of clinical diagnostic tests.
Our medical team will comment on out-of-range blood results and give you follow-up advice where necessary. If you need it, a PDF copy of your Diabetes Check results can be downloaded for your doctor.

A Broward sheriff`s deputy, on suspension after he fatally shot an unarmed drug suspect in the back, was involved in another fatal shooting just over a year ago.
SWAT team deputy Joe Hoffman fired one blast that killed Herbert Harris III, 47, early Friday night as Harris was running in the back yard of his house in the 2600 block of Northeast Seventh Terrace near Pompano Beach.
Harris, unarmed, was struck in the back by the single blast from Hoffman`s 12-gauge shotgun.
Thirteen months ago, Hoffman was among Sheriff`s SWAT team members who stormed the house of Clem Hutchins in Carver Ranches. Hoffman was involved in the shooting death of Hutchins, who had barricaded himself in his bathroom and was found sitting on a toilet with a rifle pointed at police after they broke down the door.
Hutchins had earlier killed Sheriff`s Deputy Tony Yanniello, who had gone to the house to answer a domestic disturbance complaint.
A Broward grand jury later cleared Hoffman and other officers of any wrongdoing in the shooting.
``We are pursuing the investigation of Friday`s incident,`` said Sheriff Nick Navarro. ``Our internal affairs and homicide division are handling the case. I can`t second guess what the officer did or what took place. I wasn`t there. For me to do that would be unfair.``
But Navarro said the incident is almost certain to be presented to the grand jury.
Navarro said Hoffman was among the SWAT team members assigned to serve a search warrant at Harris` house.
Navarro said SWAT deputies, who had surrounded the house, were being used to serve the warrant because the Sheriff`s Office had been told Harris had weapons in the house.
Navarro also said that Harris had been arrested on drug trafficking charges in September, at which time deputies said they had to restrain him as he reached for a gun.

For the serious 14U/16U hockey player, autumn means getting back into hockey shape. Some of that happens naturally simply by getting back on the ice. But there are also exercises and lifts players can be doing to regain and build explosiveness.
Darryl Nelson, the strength and conditioning coach for the United States National Team Development Program, has several suggestions for 14U and 16U players along these lines.
Not sport-specific
The first thing Nelson wants to emphasize is that if someone is trying to sell you on a hockey-specific training program, it might not be the right program.
"A lot of people don't understand what training to be an athlete is. A good program is a good program no matter who is doing it," he said. "The problem is trying to call something a sport-specific program. All the patterns of movement are gross-motor patterns. It's impossible to do a sport-specific strength and conditioning in training."
Nelson says he'll have players tell him they don't want to do things that are for football players, for instance.
"But a lot of things designed for football aren't even good for football," Nelson said.
Instead, a good program should involve a lot of changing directions, changing speeds and changes laterally. One-leg squats, dumbbells, kettlebells are actually great training.
"The program I'm doing here with the NTDP, I would run a similar program no matter what the sport. If it was basketball I'd be doing the same thing," Nelson added. "In my mind, there are two priorities: reduce injuries and make players faster. That's what a program should be for."
One limb at a time
To do that, Nelson is a big believer in lifts and exercises that isolate limbs. His contention is that two-leg exercises have minimal carryover with virtually every sport, which makes sense when you think about it.
"We do bench and chin-ups but we also use a lot of kettlebells and dumbells. We do the overhead press one arm at a time – alternating instead of pressing both at same time," Nelson says. "The left and right side rarely do the same thing. If I'm shooting a hockey puck: if I'm rotating my body, one hip is internally rotating, one is externally rotating. One arm is doing something different from the other. It's all about reciprocal patterns of motion."
Everything, he says, is about symmetry – left-to-right, top-to-bottom, front-to-back.
"We do a lot of Olympic exercises – dumbbell snatches and cleans. We do all that from a hang position, where weight starts knee high," Nelson said. "Most people can't get low enough to get the weight off the floor without putting their back in a bad position. From a performance standpoint, the explosive part of the lift doesn't start until you get above knee. So we take the dead lift out of it."
And if possible it's done on one leg. That's Nelson's recipe for adding explosiveness relative to size, something he says is akin to adding horsepower to a car. He says it reduces stress on the joints while building more muscle, which makes it an easy sell for his players.
"They're doing exercises that intuitively have more carryover and make more sense," Nelson added. "People good at team sports tend to have long arms and long legs – which tend to be bad for lifting weights."
Start slow
Still, Nelson will experience a transition with NTDP players this fall similar to the one other 14U and 16U players will go through. His advice: Start slowly, particularly if you had a leisurely summer.
"We don't have them in the summertime, so you don't know what you're going to get until they get here," Nelson said. "Even with 18U, I always start with lowest progressions and then find out who's where and what they're doing. If you start too high and guys haven't done a lot of one-leg stuff or haven't been skating, you get three or four guys with a groin pull and you can't run good practices. Start at low progressions and then transition."
And it's also important to remember that for as much work as you do off the ice, the dynamic completely changes once you get on it.
"You can do all the running and jumping and squatting, but on dryland you don't have edges," Nelson said. "There's no way to replicate skating without ice. It has to be a transition period to work into that as well."

Editorial: Fiscal woes demand creative fix
Vermont's financial problems are serious and cannot be fixed by level-funding state budgets for a year, or borrowing from the state "rainy day fund. In fact, those strategies might have made things worse.
And we're going to find out just how deeply those problems run this coming fiscal year, when the state property tax bills that fund our K-12 education system arrive.
Unless the state can find millions of dollars in cuts, state leaders are warning, prepare for the state property tax rate to jump by between 7 and 9 cents per $100 of valuation.
Part of the problem is that the state, in setting the current spending plan, used $38 million in surplus funds and $9 million in reserves and clawed back $8.5 million from school districts in the last legislative session. That doesn't include the surplus funds cities and towns used to cover the cuts.
That money is gone, never to return.
Even if school districts "level-fund" their budgets (which actually guarantees layoffs) or hold the line to inflation, projected at 2.9 percent, that won't be enough to stave off tax increases. Not with the likelihood that teacher health care costs will spike by 10 to 17 percent.
It could get even worse, depending on what the Republican Congressional "leadership" does to federal education and healthcare funding.
State education secretary Rebecca Holcombe is "increasingly concerned" about the state's financial situation. And state Rep. David Sharpe, D-Bristol, is predicting that the Vermont Department of Tax's December estimate of next year's property tax is "going to be ugly."
If you're like most folks, then you've seen this movie before.
Sure, you can put off repairs to your house or your car for a while, while you hopefully save money for repairs. But something else always seems to come up, so you put it off some more. Once the problem can't be ignored any longer, you realize the cost is a good deal greater than it would have been if you'd acted right away.
Vermont, your check engine light is on.
This winter in Montpelier, the pressure is going to come from all sides, and we don't envy the task in front of the Legislature or the Scott administration.
And by the way, 2018 is an election year.
Vermont cannot and should not tax and spend its way out of this mess. And cuts to education spending carry a human cost — layoffs and lost investment in our future — that many are not willing to pay.
So what's the solution?
We have a hunch what won't work: Business as usual. It got us here, and we have run out of road down which to kick that particular can. It's time to try something other than the knee-jerk partisan ideologies of "Cut spending!" on one side versus "Raise taxes!" on the other.
To our ears and eyes, that might as well be the "Less filling!" vs. "Tastes great!" debate we used to see on TV beer commercials. Leadership does not in any way resemble mass-produced light beer in cans.
Here's one possibility: Earlier this year, in a column in our sister newspaper, the Manchester Journal, Cynthia Browning (D-Arlington) suggested that backing current use and income sensitivity out of the education fund and back to the general fund and income tax, respectively, could lower the education fund property tax.
Would it work? We don't know.
But we do know that innovation, creativity and cooperation are better choices than the same tired partisan playbook. We hope the Legislature and Gov. Scott, having shown this past year that they can compromise for the greater good, will look at this problem through that mindset, rather than retreating to familiar ground.
Vermont's future is riding on it.

"Great games don't always directly result in great sales. Unfortunately this sad fact is one that many developers have to live with and it often leads to them taking less and less risks because it could result in job loss and franchises being put out to pasture." - Velox
darksiders, too human, banjo kazoozie nuts and bolts, halo wars, lost odessy and i agree on mirrors edge and kingdom. damn shame none of these got sequels. they werent perfect and in some cases ( too human ) needed a lot of work but i seen the potential
This is why those "Heh, I don't work for (company name) so I don't care about sales" comments are completely off the mark. If something doesn't sell well, kiss future prospects goodbye =/ It doesn't always reflect the quality of the game, no, but when I like something, I also like to see it sell well.
I wouldn't count Mirror's Edge out just yet. Anyone remember when Ben Cousins said DICE was making Mirrors Edge 2 last year?
Mirror's Edge 2 will happen, and when it does, it will sell well...that is, unless they do something to ruin it. The first game was very good. It just needed some options, variation, a little more/better gun play, etc.
Of that list though, ME2 is the game I want most.

Some of the area's hottest up-and-coming bands will perform on a 32-foot-long mobile music stage and pro skateboard, BMX and motocross athletes will streak through the sky in action-packed live demo shows in the tour's 60,000 square foot "alternative sports playground" of jumps and ramps.
The Metal Mulisha freestyle motocross team will fly and flip nearly three stories high, over a distance of almost 100 feet, as they run their custom-modified motocross motorcycles through an amazing arsenal of tricks, including can-cans, backflips, and the "kiss of death." (12:45, 2:45 & 5:30 p.m.)
Mays Landing native Ronnie Faisst, one of the world's top freestyle motocross riders, will also make a special appearance to greet fans and sign autographs.
Not to be outdone, some of the world's best skateboard and BMX pros will perform on a 48-foot wide Super Mini Ramp (at 1:15 & 4 p.m.) Osiris and Ipath will bring their teams of internationally ranked pro athletes to town for a rare, close-up experience with fans, including athlete autograph sessions after each performance. Athletes slated to appear at this tour stop include several of the world's top skateboard pros, including punk-skate superstar Corey Duffel, Sewaren native Fred Gall, and Vilas native Steve Durante.
The Osiris BMX team will also "take to the air" alongside their skate teammates, sailing their customized bikes off the tour's ramp with hair-raising jumps and stunts. World-class riders slated to appear include BMX pro and native of Lindenwold, Darryl Tocco.
The "Converse Battle of the Bands" will feature Local indie alt, emo, and pop-punk bands competing throughout the day, with the winner judged by the audience via text message voting. Many of the breakthrough bands featured on this tour go on to hot careers and new recording contracts. Local bands competing at the event include: "Somersault Sunday" (noon); "Catch The Mouse" (2 p.m.); and "Like the Stars" (3:15 p.m.).
The winning band will receive more than $500 in cash and prizes (including a year's supply of Chuck Taylor high-tops for each band member) Fans can come away winners as well! After voting, winning fans will be text-messaged or emailed to let them know they've won a prize, including Journeys gift cards and Converse products.
A sweet musical treat will be served up after the battle of the bands ends, as opening act "Sparks The Rescue" takes to the main stage at 4:40 p.m. Finishing things off, a special surprise headliner band will hit the stage in a rare, free showcase concert from 6-6:45 p.m.
Between catching scorching athlete demos and searing new artists, fans can chill with cool entertainment and free giveaways in the tour's interactive Fun Zone — featuring more than 15 booths with free fun and games.
At the Converse "Punk Your Chucks" tent, fans can use Sharpie pens to create their own original artistic design on a pair of classic Converse Chuck Taylor high-tops. The winning shoe from each tour stop will be entered into a contest, with the overall winning design having the chance to ultimately become a production shoe for Converse, to be sold at retailers worldwide.
All "non-winning" shoes (250 pairs) will be donated to We Feed — a local volunteer organization that raises funds to support 11 food pantries in Woodbridge Township, collecting 80,000 pounds of food annually and serving 500 families per month. We Feed will work with various local non-profits to distribute the shoes to needy individuals.
Limited-edition tour memorabilia will be also available at the Journeys merchandise tent, where fans can win free gear at Journeys' quarter pipe shoe toss game. Jamming fans can also have a chance to win a pair of free headphones at the Skullcandy booth.

Because central Nepal is much easier to get to than western Nepal, we have much more bedrock geochronology data from central Nepal with which to compare our detrital data (the same arguments concerning recycling from the Siwaliks applied to sample NAG-12 apply here). Figure 10 shows the outlines of the largest of the drainage basins associated with our samples from central Nepal as well as locations and 40 Ar/ 39 Ar ages of muscovites from bedrock known to us at the time of this writing. There are 152 bedrock samples, but only 86 of these are from within the Narayani basin. The bedrock samples are far from evenly distributed across the catchment and we can only assume that surface processes have done a good job of averaging the contributions from throughout the basin. At some level of detail we can imagine that sample MO-217, as analyzed, does not faithfully sample all of the bedrock in the catchment because it is biased toward larger muscovites (see preceding). Nevertheless, as shown in Figure 10 , there is nothing problematic about the detrital data in light of the bedrock data and vice versa. Because the Kathmandu-Annapurna region has been studied in such detail (thermochronology, metamorphic petrology, structural geology) the detrital muscovites from the greater Narayani basin seem to offer no additional insight other than to predict that areas within the basin yet to be investigated at the same level of scrutiny as the southern flanks of the Annapurna range are unlikely to reveal a geologic history substantially different than that already suggested for this region. Moreover, the broad consistency of the detrital data to the bedrock data in the Narayani basin (where bedrock data are abundant) gives us confidence in our ability to make broad-brush conclusions, based on detrital data, about the tectonic evolution of the Karnali basin (where bedrock data are sparse).
The final point we discuss about the new data presented here is the strong dissimilarity between the distribution of the age of muscovites from the modern Karnali drainage and the modern Narayani basin ( Fig. 3C ). These catchments are about the same size ( Table 3 ) and are adjacent to each other ( Fig. 1 ), but the ages from the Narayani basin to the east (sample MO-217) are distinctly younger than the ages from the Karnali in the west (sample NAG-12). These differences point to distinct histories of erosion in these regions.
We can consider the causes of erosion in the Himalaya over the past 20 m.y. to be of 2 end-member types. No erosion takes place absent the work of wind and water, but in any tectonically active region, such as the Himalaya, the effects of the deformation of the crust can be of equal or much greater importance; rock deformation results in changes in the elevation and relief of the surface, which in turn can influence the location and magnitude of precipitation.
Are the differences in the muscovite ages from the Karnali and the muscovites from the Narayani due to variations in influence of rock deformation (tectonics) or the influence of the work of wind and water (climate) or some combination thereof? We discuss the possible contributions of these two effects in turn.
It sounds bizarre, but, Schneider writes, the jury's still out on whether any artificial intelligence is capable of self-awareness. Simply put, we know so little about the neurological basis for consciousness; it's almost impossible to predict what ingredients might go into replicating it artificially.
"I don't see any good reason to believe an artificial superintelligence couldn't possess consciousness, but it's important to identify the possibility," said Schneider.
Still, Schneider feels the assertion that artificial life simply can't possess consciousness is losing ground.
"I believe the brain is inherently computational—we already have computational theories that describe aspects of consciousness, including working memory and attention," Schneider said. "Given a computational brain, I don't see any good argument that silicon, instead of carbon, can't be a excellent medium for experience."
You don't spend a whole lot of time hanging out reading books with your goldfish. On the other hand, you don't really want to kill the goldfish, either."
I hope she's right. Somehow, the notion of a galaxy teeming with soulless supercomputers is way creepier than introspective, WALL-E-like beings, or dry, sardonic Qs.
"It's super creepy," Schneider agrees. Indeed, Schneider, who

, urges that humans should reflect deeply on this potential consequence of cognitive enhancement.
The concept of superintelligent alien AI still sounds very speculative. And it is. But that doesn't mean it's not worth consideration. Indeed, expanding our purview of alien intelligence may help us identify life's fingerprints in the cosmos. "So far, we've pointed antennas at stars that might have planets that might have breathable atmospheres and oceans and so forth," Shostak told me. "But if we're correct that the dominant intelligence in the cosmos is artificial, then does it have to live on a planet with an ocean?"
It's a bit of a mind-bender to think that habitable worlds may hold false promise when it comes to advanced alien life, but that seems to be Shostak's conclusion.
"All artificial life forms would need is raw materials," he said. "They might be in deep space, hovering around a star, or feeding off a black hole's energy at the center of the galaxy." (That last idea has seen its way into a number of science fiction novels, including works by

and Modal Scarf Birds of Blue by VIDA VIDA Qb0Y4To
Which is to say, they could be, essentially, anywhere.
Begging a final question: How might superintelligent aliens view us? Will our cosmic cousins see us as nothing more than convenient biofuel, a la the Matrix? Or do they study us quietly from afar, abiding by a Star Trek-esque maxim of non-interference? Schneider doubts either. In fact, she reckons superintelligent aliens couldn't really care less about us.
"If they were interested in us, we probably wouldn't be here," said Schneider. "My gut feeling is their goals and incentives are so different from ours, they're not going to want to contact us."

I figured we'd start the New Year's off right with a little guide to intermittent fasting. You'll find a meal plan, some twists and turns to make it your own, and of course – the shopping list!
So, why intermittent fasting? Well there's a number of reasons why. The first (and biggest for most) is that it can help you get over weight loss plateau's. Down to those last couple of pounds, or been stuck at the same number for weeks? Give this a try.
It's also shown to boost mental clarity and give more focus during the day. Doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with that, does there?
For a more in depth look at intermittent fasting, you can head over to the more scientific post I did on it over here.
Finding Your Macros
First thing's first. We need to find our macros and see how many calories, fats, protein, and carbs we should eat per day. I have put together a "keto calculator" that makes it easy. Below is a picture tutorial to walk you through everything and explain what is going on.
Step 1
First we need to put in your total weight. If you put in your weight in pounds, it will automatically calculate your weight in kilograms. If you put your weight in kilograms, it will automatically convert it to pounds. You only need to fill in 1 of the boxes here.
Once you put your weight in, you also need to put your body fat in. If you don't know your body fat, you can visually estimate it. Do yourself a favor and don't lie to yourself here.
I've seen a lot of people lie to themselves and they end up not eating enough calories. While some of us may think that's a good thing, you can actually do more harm than good over time. Remember those diets that end up making us gain all the weight back afterwards? That's what we don't want!
Step 2
The next set of boxes will show you your BMR and TEF. This is how many calories you burn, per day, at an absolute minimum. Just for sitting, breating, and eating. You don't really have to pay attention to this, but some people like to know everything behind the calculations – so I included it.
Step 3
Now, I will assume that most of us here are sedentary. If that's the case, then leave the check mark on sedentary.
If that's not the case, change your activity level to the one that sounds most like you. Again, don't lie to yourself here. If you do, it will have negative consequences.
Step 4
Exercise…the big E. I will continue to assume that most of us here are sedentary. So, you can just leave it to "No" and move on.
Now, if you do exercise, change the drop down box to a "Yes". Another table will show up where you can input your daily activity. Try to be as accurate as possible here! If you don't measure your caloric burning through a heart rate monitor, then you can estimate. When you estimate, though, try to make it as good a guess as possible – don't just put numbers of what you think you did. You can normally find the "average" calories burned for a certain exercise on Google.
Step 5
This is the part where we find out how many calories total, per day, we should be eating. The box at the top where you can put in a percent is the amount of calories over or under your daily caloric needs. If you want to lose weight, try 15-20%. The more overweight you are, the higher you can go with the percentages. Though, I do not advise to go over 30%. Keep the check box for "Lose Weight" checked and now you have your total calories.
If you want to gain weight, try 10%. Change the checked box from "Lose Weight" to "Gain Mass". If you're working out and want to gain mass, you will need to have a surplus of calories for your muscles to properly grow and repair.
Step 6
Now for the fun part. Protein. If you're sedentary like most of us, you can drop your protein intake ratio from the default 0.8 to 0.6. The box will go red, but don't worry about it. This calculator was initially made to aid people in gaining mass.
If you're looking to gain mass, or even if you just work out, you want to consider the ranges of 0.8 – 1.1. If you're just doing the average amount of exercise, and no strength training, keep it at default. However, if you are doing intense workouts of weight lifting, go toward the range of 0.9 – 1.
Step 7
Everything has been filled out and we're on our way to find out exactly how much of everything we need! You should see your results displayed for you. Write these down! If you use MyFitnessPal, then write your new macros into your settings so that they get saved.
Now, keep in mind that you might need to eat a decent amount of calories here. You might need to eat 2,000 calories or even 1,800. When you start intermittent fasting, eating 1800 calories in 1 meal is pretty difficult. That's why we start off by only skipping 1 meal a day, then progress into skipping 2 meals a day.
Food List for Grocery Store
This is 2 weeks worth of food. The ingredients listed is enough to make the full 2 weeks and some leftovers. The meal plan is listed below, but you need to be aware that depending on your needed calories, you will need to make more, or less. I give a round estimate of how much I personally make.
Most of the recipes I list are pretty savable. You can freeze leftovers and use them in the following week when we turn the fasting into a more intense approach.
- 3 lb. Ground Beef
- 5 Chorizo Sausages
- 2 Italian Sausages
- 2 Cans Pre-cooked Chicken Breast
- 4 Full Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (4 halves)
- 7 Slices Ham
- 16 Slices Bacon
- 22 Large Eggs
- 15 Tbsp. Heavy Cream
- 3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 15 Tbsp. Organic Coconut Oil
- 14 Tbsp. Grass Fed Unsalted Butter
- 2 Tbsp. Sesame Oil
If you have preference to another fat, you can choose it over the ones I use.
- 4 1/2 Cups Mozzarella Cheese
- 4 Cups Cheddar Cheese
- 4 Tbsp. Cream Cheese
- 10 Tbsp. Parmesan Cheese
- 2 Oz. Bleu cheese
- 18 Tbsp. Creamed Spinach Dip
- 1 Medium Green Pepper
- 1 Medium Onion
- 1 Head Cauliflower
- 7 Cups Spinach
- 2 Cups Tomato Sauce
- 2 Small Scallions
If you're not a fan of spinach, choose something that you're more likely to eat. Broccoli, cauliflower, or kale are good choices.
- 2 Cups Almond Flour
- 1/2 Cup Erythritol
- 1/2 Cup Rice Vinegar
- 14 Cups Coffee
- 1 Bag of Pork Rinds
- 4 Tbsp. Sugar Free Ketchup
- 2 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp. Fish Sauce
- 12-15 toothpicks
Go for the pork rinds that are light and airy. We'll be grinding these up and you want nice light consistency, not hard and dense.
Grinding your own coffee beans usually yields a better cup of coffee, so try to get some nice organic coffee in your diet.
- 2 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning
- 3 Tbsp. Kosher Salt
- 5 tsp. Garlic Powder
- 2 tsp. Chili Powder
- 2 tsp. Cumin
- 1 tsp. Ginger
You're welcome to add more spices to your food, cayenne pepper, more salt and pepper, or paprika.
I do realize that you can't go to the store and buy only 3 tsp. of kosher salt, or only 7 cups of spinach. You have to decide what will be right for you, and maybe you'll end up buying a bit more than you need – but don't worry. We can use the leftovers later on!
Now, keep in mind that this is soley for the single dishes we will be having. You'll need to make sides, such as steamed broccoli with a cheese sauce. Keep that in mind when you're buying – but I don't know your preferences for vegetables. Choose as you wish, and choose sauces or ingredients for sauces that you could put with the vegetables.
Ideas: creamed spinach, butter roasted asparagus, butter fried green beans, broccoli with cheese sauce, cauliflower with cheese sauce, or a light salad with heavy dressing.
Daily Overview
Breakfast – Ketoproof Coffee
A mixture of oil, fat, and coffee to keep your fueled for the day. Here's the recipe for Ketoproof Coffee.
So, why ketoproof coffee? It gets your metabolism to a great start, feeding it caffeine and fats that will start your day off right.
Now, keep in mind that we are loading up with fats here. We're not taking in any protein for the day. We need to keep that in mind when we go to eat dinner, making it protein rich, as we we'll still need to hit our macros.
Lunch – Water, Tea, & Black Coffee
Just drink your favorite thing, as long as you are drinking plenty. I aim for just over a gallon of water a day, or 4 litres to be more precise.
As your kidneys get used to processing the water, and your bladder gets used to the increase in the amount of water you're intaking – you won't have to go to the bathroom as much. I know it can be troublesome for the first 2 weeks to drink that much water, but it's extremely good for you to do so.
Dinner – Follow Meal Plan Below
Add cheese/butter/dressings/oils to bulk calories. This is the tricky part. We need to get that protein that our bodies need and we haven't had for the entire day. Think meat here. Chicken is great because it's high in protein and not high in fat.
We can get fats from plenty of side items, sauces, dressings, and even straight from the spoon. If you need to extra fats, just add more cheese, add a knob of butter, or make a side salad and dress it with a high fat dressing and some olive oil.
Snacks? No snacks!
No snacking! Well, not really, but try to stay away from it as much as you can. You want your body to go into a fasting state, but if you're snacking then you interrupt the process.
Snacking shows that it leads to hunger, so it's best to not do it if possible. That being said, you can snack on some nuts if you feel like you absolutely have to. If you do end up taking a handful of nuts, make sure that it's only once and not throughout the entire day.
Meal Plan
So, we're looking for a meal plan here. I've put together the meal plan for weeks 1 and 2. I think most people would enjoy this type of food, so that's why I picked it. Not to mention, there's some of my favorites here.
If you're strapped for time, you can always make all of this food on the weekend, shove it into tuppawares, and put them in the freezer. The MOST IMPORTANT part of this is to eat your food and have variety. When you don't have variety, you start to get bored, and your mind wonders to other…sweet sweet places. That's what we don't want!
This is a general meal plan, not intended for exact use. You need to do some work here (sorry!) by calculating the amount of calories you need per day, and breaking it apart into what you should be eating. Remember that every day, you should be drinking Ketoproof Coffee for breakfast, so that takes away about 500-600 calories from your daily calorie intake.
Day 3: Bacon Wrapped Chicken Cordon Bleu with Salad of Spinach
Day 4: Sweet & Sour Chicken with Side of Cauliflower Fried Rice
Day 7: Eggceptional Sausage Keto Frittata with Side of Broccoli
Week 2 we will repeat the exact same thing as we had on week 1. If you have more leftovers of 1 thing than another, feel free to sub out the food for something you actually have. We don't want to waste food here, but I also cook for more than 1 person.
Week 3 & 4
We're going to start being more aggressive with our fasting here. We'll turn it into a 21/3 fasting window, or an 18/6 fasting window. What do these numbers mean? Well 21/3 means 21 hours of fasting and 3 hours of eating, and 18/6 means 18 hours of fasting and 6 hours of eating.
We're going to stop drinking Ketoproof Coffee for breakfast, and only be eating 1 meal a day. Instead of having your normal ketoproof coffee, just settle with a black coffee (or tea) with nothing else.
Lunch is going to be the same way as before. Tea, coffee, water, or whatever zero carb/fat/protein drink you want. Stay hydrated as you have been, and continue to try to aim for 1 gallon of water a day.
Remember, no snacking! We need to get more strict here and your metabolism should have started to get used to your fasting schedule. Try to avoid your snacking at all costs, creating a more strict environment for your body.
You can also keep your meals exactly the same, but just up the portions. That way you're getting the needed calories but not having to do extra work.
If you choose to do dinner and a dessert, keep your macros in mind. Pick sweets that are high in fats, if your dinner is high in protein. Conversely, pick sweets that are high in protein if your dinner is high in fats. Be smart about it, and always keep your macros in mind.
If you need more fats, just like before you can add oils, dressings, cheese, butter, or whatever you need to in order to get to your macros.
Desserts are finicky things, and I don't like making choices for people because usually with sweets everyone has their own special tastes they like.
My Favorite Desserts
Chocolate Cake in a Mug – This one is super simple, fast, and absolutely delicious. Holds a lot of calories, fats, and a decent amount of protein.
Macadamia Nut Brownies – Absolute treat that is stocked full of great fats and omega 3's. A treat in itself, and makes for a fantastic dessert.
Cinnamon Roll Waffle – Honestly, I can't eat the whole thing when I try to eat it for dessert, but you're welcome to try your luck! It's delicious, and gets rid of those cinnamon roll cravings I get every once in a while.
Lemon & Rosemary Shortbread – While not learning too far on the sweet side, I absolute adore these cookies. I can shove them into my mouth so fast, and eat the entire batch, even if I'm not hungry. They're easy to eat, but you need to watch the carb counts.
I wish you the best of luck in 2014 and hope you make your goals happen! Remember to keep in touch. As always, I'd love to hear your progress, your thoughts, or your remarks about how you're doing, how to make things better, or just to say hi!

Coaches, athletes, or anyone interested in sports, have all wished for extra time (and cash) to dedicate to gaining knowledge in order to learn and improve. Athletic participation is positively impacted when regular professional development is a part of the culture. Unfortunately, not every team and individual has access to training and education resources. These obstacles prompted us to create the '5in15' program to help all who love sport and performance to move forward, and support others, with their learning.
The '5in15' program addresses challenges associated with lack of time, money, visibility, and access to professional development that all dedicated sports persons face on a regular basis. All seminars feature a panel of experienced individuals each presenting 15 minutes worth of useful knowledge on a wide variety of topics. Partnering with local hosts and presenters allows for shared learning through the process of making each event happen. Those who attend a 5in15 seminar learn valuable information, while presenters strive to communicate clear and concise information. The 5in15 program is inspired by events like the National Coaching Conference, and organizations such as the Tucker Center, where public scholarship is offered in many exceptional formats. Whether you are a varsity coach, a first-time referee, or a parent who excels at organization, you can share your knowledge to help others. A diverse and inclusive gathering of knowledge, and individuals, helps everyone learn and develop.
If this sounds like a program you would like to be a part of, then we invite you to take the next step! First15 is looking for individuals who want to join the 5in15 movement. Wherever you are located, we will work to find a way to connect, share, and learn. To get started, visit www.first15sport.com and click this link to complete the interest form now! We look forward to learning with you soon!
