Last Thoughts on Adam Lawton
Adam Lawton has been in my thoughts for all my waking hours since he was killed in an avalanche last Friday, January 6th in British Columbia. I've wanted to write about him since it happened, but I've been unable to. There is a time and place to write, just like Allen Ginsberg once said, "I won't write my poem till I'm in my right mind."
Those of you who knew Adam are feeling his departure in one way or another. He was a great man and a great friend, the type of individual I wish there were more of in this sometimes harsh world. He was a light. He was a leader. He encouraged thinking and questioning, but never spent so much time doing those things that he annoyed or did not live to the utmost extent. He loved skiing, running, biking, climbing and floating down rivers. He loved women. He loved good food. He loved yoga. He loved life and shared that love so much that it grew exponentially in all our hearts, and will continue to grow.
I first met Adam at Western State College of Colorado in 2000, and we'd been paired up to deliver a presentation on Leave No Trace for a Recreation class. I couldn't even begin to recall the specifics of what we discussed during our meeting in the College Union, but I do remember that he possessed a lust for living, and a hunger to learn more about the world and pursue that knowledge in an experiential way. I got a feeling that we were both in college, in Gunnison, not simply to get a degree for a certain amount of knowledge of a career path, but to access higher learning in the great outdoors, with a community of people that shared this hunger for living life to the fullest.
Over the years Adam and I grew closer, and in a roundabout way, we ended up sharing all the same friends in the Gunnison Valley. Good, like minded people have a way of finding one another. I remember one day in Crested Butte, he was describing his life, "I feel like every day is the best day of my life. I thought yesterday was the best day of my life, and then today was the best day of my life." It was just the opposite of the scene in Office Space where the main character is describing every day as being the worst day of his life. The mountains were Adam's rightful home, and he was happy in the mountains.
Eventually Adam moved to Salt Lake City, Utah to pursue an even higher education, at a graduate program at the University of Utah, and the powder of the nearby Wasatch Mountains. I remember him quoting another skier, "the license plates don't lie," talking about the slogan written on the old Utah plates, "Greatest Snow on Earth."
I passed through Salt Lake City in my post-collegiate wanderings of the west more than once and Adam was a most hospitable host. He always had various new friends and new stories to tell. One year while passing through Salt Lake I ended up running out of money there, and had to get a job to make some money. His hospitality never wavered and he let me crash on his couch as often as needed. He introduced me to everything that was great about Salt Lake: the library, the vegan restaurants, the Tibetan Buffet, the Bayou Bar, the buildering of the city, Little Cottonwood Canyon, and so much more. He even got me excited about cross country skiing (I should note I am not a skier). He loved skiing so much I am in awe of how he also excelled at climbing, biking, running and river activities. Last I talked to him he was excited about the idea of long, ultra-running races. He always seemed to remain passionate about skiing, while also doing something new, and he always wanted to share that passion.
Adam was interested in so many things, and now in retrospect I wish I'd taken notes about our conversations. He had an open mind, the true definition of an open mind, maybe so much that his mind was continually expanding. He was certainly into mind expansion. His heart was ever expanding as well, and I think the greatest advice he ever told me was to breathe.
We're all grieving over you Adam, and I felt the huge loss of your departure in the weeping of all our shared friends as the news was broke that you'd been killed in an avalanche. Everyone is dealing with it differently; people deal with death in different ways. In some way we'll never be the same without you. We are better for having known you. The world is a better place because you lived. We hope to see you again, and your spirit is always with us. I can feel it right now as these tears spill onto my keyboard.

He Thinks He Can
Jerry Brown is trying to will California's high-speed rail into existence.
Jerry Brown is not, shall we say, America's most conventional governor. In his State of the State address last month, he showed off a set of playing cards adorned with action shots of his Welsh corgi, Sutter. Each card included a dog-related bon mot highlighting the importance of keeping state spending within limits: "A prudent corgi knows to nibble at his kibble." "Save some biscuits for a rainy day." "Bark if you don't like deficits."
The message was clear. While California had recovered from an epic fiscal hole and now showed a healthy surplus—not bad for a man once derided as "Governor Moonbeam"—Brown insisted that now was not the time to return to what he considered profligate overspending. Quoting the book of Genesis, Brown recounted advice delivered by Joseph to the Pharoah: "Put away your surplus during the years of great plenty so you will be ready for the lean years which are sure to follow."
Story Continued Below
But there is one project Brown has decided not to save for the future, his Great Pyramid of Giza: building the nation's first high-speed rail line, one of the largest infrastructure projects in U.S. history, with an estimated price tag of $68 billion—if not higher. Shovels are poised to hit the ground this year on the first section of track, the latest advance in Brown's 32-year quest to erect something he believes befits the image of California as a "land of dreams."
"We aren't all Twitter-holics that have to have instant gratification after 140 characters," Brown said at a recent press conference. "We can take a few years and build for the future, and that's my sense here, that I'm coming back to be governor after all these years. It's been on my list for a long time."
But just as this promise is on the verge of being realized, a combination of longtime opponents, Congress and the courts could derail it permanently. Brown has had to scramble to save his cherished project, including using some controversial budget tactics that have split traditional allies. It's not yet clear whether Brown can hold together enough support for the bullet train to survive.
And he knows it. In last year's State of the State address, the governor drew upon every pro-train talking point in his arsenal, including an ad-libbed summary of the Little Engine That Could, rhythmically chanting its signature line, "I think I can," four times. "And over that mountain, the little engine went," he exhorted. "We're gonna get over that mountain, have no doubt."
Brown signed the first bill authorizing a study of high-speed rail in 1982, recognizing the technology's potential after seeing the successful Shinkansen trains in Japan. At the time, the far-flung concept fit with the "Governor Moonbeam" label, a stinging sobriquet first bestowed on him by Chicago pundit Mike Royko. (Though Brown would be quick to point out that the radical concept that earned him the moniker, launching a state emergency communications satellite, actually came to pass.) But at the heart of Brown's proposal was a practical solution to address the problem of how to get people where they needed to go.
In 1982, California had a population of around 24.8 million people. Now that number is 38.4 million, and it's projected to surge over 50 million by 2050. All those Californians have to move around for business and recreation, and they often find themselves paralyzed by the state's legendary congestion. (Drivers in the Los Angeles and San Francisco regions spend an estimated 61 hours sitting in traffic per year, according to a 2011 report, among the worst in the country.) This not only reduces quality of life, but adds to what Brown believes is an unsustainable dependence on fossil fuels, a longtime interest (he helped get the first large wind farms in the U.S. built in the early 1980s). "Each year, our motor vehicles use more than 14 billion gallons of gasoline to travel over 330 billion miles," Brown said in his Jan. 22 speech, reaching for a celestial analogy: "To put those numbers in perspective, the sun is 93 million miles away."
To Brown, high-speed rail offered a way out of this box, helping to reduce congestion and greenhouse gas emissions while creating jobs and opportunity. Trains have not historically been part of the transportation mix in California; as Brown pointed out last year, the top speed of current rail lines in the Tehachapi Mountains in the center of the state is 24 miles per hour, the same as it was in the 19th century. But high-speed electric trains, which could traverse the 520 miles from San Francisco to Los Angeles in 2½ hours, would eliminate millions of car trips and plane flights, while building up development around station stops and increasing options for residents. A worker in Los Angeles could live 100 miles away in San Diego or Bakersfield and still have a manageable commute.
Over the entire enterprise looms the legacy of Brown's father. While governor from 1959-1967, Pat Brown built the University of California system, intra-state highway network and water infrastructure that arguably drove the Golden State's prosperity for decades into the future. All told, in the 1960s, California added 2,215 miles of freeways in a tar-and-asphalt frenzy that entrenched the state as America's car capital, depicted in movies like Rebel Without a Cause and American Graffiti. "His father used current money to fulfill long-term needs," says Rod Diridon, a former board member of the California High Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) and executive director of the Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University. "If we didn't have that now, we'd be dead."
Pat Brown's intra-state highway project might have made sense in the 1960s, but it led to the very carbon emission escalation that his son wants to reverse through high-speed rail. So to Brown the Younger, the project represents both an effort to keep up with his father's visionary long-term development and a mission to clean up the unintended consequences of that development. It makes high-speed rail as desirable to Brown on personal terms as it is necessary on economic and environmental ones. As nice as it is to maintain a balanced budget, you can't put your name on it.
Not long ago, the project looked like a sure bet. In 2011, 28 years after his first gubernatorial term ended, Brown found himself back in the governor's office in Sacramento with a plan for high-speed rail on his desk and the voters behind him. Three years earlier, Californians had approved Prop 1A, authorizing $9.95 billion in bond sales to finally begin the rail line. And Brown had a federal partner in President Obama, who was also looking for a legacy infrastructure project to rise out of the Great Recession, the way the Hoover Dam and Golden Gate Bridge lifted America's spirits and created jobs during the Depression.

I have told you some of my story but, wanted to go into more detail about how this Mineral Balancing has changed my life. When I was in my teen years I started having panic attacks. It affected every area if my life and made me very insecure. I stopped driving, could hardly hold down a job and was afraid of everything, even myself. I also had anemia. I could only take iron for a little while then it would affect my stomach. All the insecurities kept me very codependent and in bad and abusive re…
I am a 51 year old female suffering from Morgellons Disease, CFS, and Bipolar Disorder. I also suffer from depression and extreme anxiety. I have also suffered all of my life with baby fine, oily, thin hair and cellulite. I followed Dr. Wilson's program very strictly for approximately 5 months. My symptoms improved so much that I actually quit the program gradually. However, I do plan to get back on it as soon as my retest returns because my symptoms are returning.
During the first month…
Two years on the program now and I rarely get facial rashes which I used to get often before the program. Also my nose in not affected as it used to be stuffed up all the time. My energy level has been increased and I don't feel very tired. The horizontal ridges on both thumb nails have almost gone.
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism (slow thyroid). I was trying to lose weight. I went to a personal trainer for 2 years and even weighed my food because I wasn't seeing much results from running 45 minutes a day and weight training. I got a hair analysis and started taking supplements and changed what I ate. After a year, my blood test for my thyroid was normal. I have lost a few pounds, eat more protein and do some walking for my exercise.
I know that I would not be able to do the things I loved if I wouldn't have found Dr. Heather Kneale.
I just can't explain how much better I feel. My husband even noticed my energy. I just don't crash after I do something. I noticed these changes within a month of starting the mineral balancing program. Thank you!
I could not stand the pain anymore. I tried many things to help my elbows and arms but I was in pain day and night. It did not matter if I was working or sleeping. I am so thankful that it is gone and I sure don't miss it.
GF started the nutritional balancing program in February 2013. His main symptoms were psoriasis, IBS and parasites.Over the year his joint pain and mood swings increased. He also started to have headaches which he had never had before. He started the coffee enemas and he reported that the joint pain had lessened and helped lessen nausea that he was having on and off. About eight months into the program the psoriasis was almost completely gone. He did notice parasites coming out during t he coffe…
I took a while to get going on the program because I was scared. I started with the diet then added the supplements and now on the full program for over 2 years. I want to share my progress in my healing. My mental and spiritual development has been incredible. Most symptoms I had before starting the program are gone (digestion issues, candida…). I feel very happy, energetic, relaxed, focused, grounded and have a general good feeling about myself, my body and life.
Hello Heather, I am happy to say that Mom (DJ) is doing so well that she was able to go to assistant living. As it was reported to you, when we picked her up from the rest home in Pennsylvania she had health issues such as diabetes with insulin intake. Dementia, high blood pressure, a chronic bladder infection, an incontinence issue with urine and bowels. She also suffered with post stroke symptoms. She is doing well on the program. She drinks 3, 10 oz glasses of spring water. She has not reache…
I have been with the mineral balancing program for 3 years. My osteoporosis reversed to osteopenia last month for which I am quite pleased. I also have not needed my asthma inhalers for two years.
I had noticed in the last 8 years that I didn't have the energy I once had. Also, started to have some health problems (high blood pressure, legs shaking, pain in hip, more sinus problems, arthritis). I started with the hair analysis and was set up on a program that I could do. I also added sauna therapy for when I had sinus and ear ache problems. My energy improved, blood pressure came way down, was able to walk better and think better.
I have had arthritis for over 10 years,sinus infections at least 3 times a year, a itchy red rash that showed up often for years…I thought it was the food, laundry detergent, soaps, lotions, nothing really seemed to help. I got a hair analysis and started the supplements and ate more of what my body needed. I can now open cans without pain in my fingers. I have not had a sinus infection since I started 2 years ago. The rash I no longer get. I know that I would not be able to do what I am doing…
I was dealing with a lot of issues that I could not correct for years. I went through months and years of research and tried all kinds of supplements. I slowly just kept getting worse and relied on supplements to give my temporary energy boosts… which eventually caused me to, for lack of a better word, burnout.
I hit rock bottom, and even now could not believe how bad I was. I was unable to work, I could not get out of bed. I could not face the many problems which made things worse. It was a…
I am 38 years old, but started drugs probably 20+ years ago. I have done a few rehabilitations but always went back to drugs. Did a hair analysis and started following the program and did it with the drug rehabilitation. Clean now for 3 years. After I quit drugs, I would smoke and drink coffee to help me. I quit smoking 6 months ago and don't even miss it.
Hi Heather,
I have been on the program for 1 year and the Grave's disease is completely gone! The benign tumors in my left breast and glands have disappeared. I am thinking more clearly and do not feel like I am on an emotional roller coaster anymore. My energy and outlook on life is far better than I could even hope for. I am changing my career to work in law enforcement and thank you for that. Thank you, AS, 27 yrs, Bay-area, California

An Unmarked Grave
World War I nurse and amateur sleuth Bess Crawford matches wits with a devious killer in this exciting and suspenseful adventure from New York Times best-selling author Charles Todd.
In the spring of 1918, the Spanish flu epidemic spreads, killing millions of soldiers and civilians across the globe. Overwhelmed by the constant flow of wounded soldiers coming from the French front, battlefield nurse Bess Crawford must now contend with hundreds of influenza patients as well.
However, war and disease are not the only killers to strike. Bess discovers, concealed among the dead waiting for burial, the body of an officer who has been murdered. Though she is devoted to all her patients, this soldier's death touches her deeply. Not only did the man serve in her father's former regiment, he was also a family friend.
Before she can report the terrible news, Bess falls ill, the latest victim of the flu. By the time she recovers, the murdered officer has been buried, and the only other person who saw the body has hanged himself. Or did he?
Working her father's connections in the military, Bess begins to piece together what little evidence she can find to unmask the elusive killer and see justice served. But she must be as vigilant as she is tenacious. With a determined killer on her heels, each move Bess makes could be her last.

A Nurse Bess Crawford mystery
This mystery is set against the background of WW I 1918. The war has dragged on for several years, losses have been huge for both sides, men are being gassed, and then the pandemic of the 1918 flu is killing people globally. Bess and the other nurses are hard pressed to handle the wounded and now the sick. Soldiers are dying so quickly in France that they are being buried in pits. But one day Bess is called into the room where the bodies are held because an orderly has found a body that did not belong to that unit, with no identifying clothes, and who hadn't died of the flu. In fact, his neck was broken and he was murdered. Bess knew the man, a family friend who served with her father. She arranged for the orderly to hold back the trucks which took the bodies away, and Bess went off to find the matron to decide what to do. But Bess fell ill with the flu, and was delirious for several days. The nightmare of seeing the murdered man came back to her in a dream. When she finally recovered, she didn't know if it was a dream or had happened. But then, she learned that the orderly who had also seen the body had, seemingly committed suicide. She instantly believed he was murdered. Bess enlisted the aid of Simon and her father and others to track down this murderer, and her own life was almost taken several times. This was an exciting book, each one in the series has gotten better and better. Landor is a particularly good narrator, especially for no-nonsense nurse Bess Crawford.

Bess Crawford Fan
I'm a fan of Bess Crawford. She's a strong woman and always strives for justice and right.
This is the 4th Bess Crawford mystery from Charles Todd and it did not disappoint.
I listened to the audio book narrated by the excellent Rosalyn Landor. Her voice is subtle with very good accents. Her strength is in her ability to do men's voices so well that I almost forget there is not a man reading those parts. The American man in this book was voiced extremely well.
I do have a few quibbles, including a weak ending, but they are spoilerish so I won't share them here.

Interesting perspective on WWI
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would definitely recommend this audiobook to a friend especially if that friend likes mysteries and has an interest in World War I. The characters and the plot were interesting as well as the details about the time and the people living through WWI.
What other book might you compare An Unmarked Grave to and why?
Any of the other Charles Todd books that deal with the same time period. The other series that comes to mind is the Inspector Foyle programs on PBS. They deal with a changing society during the two World Wars and the changing role for women in that society.
What about Rosalyn Landor's performance did you like?
She portrayed the characters very well and was extremely easy to listen to.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I loved the end of the book when Bess Crawford was able to give the murdered soldier's family the comfort in knowing that he had not committed suicide and restored his honour.

More adventures for Bess Crawford
What made the experience of listening to An Unmarked Grave the most enjoyable?
I have read or listened to all of Charles Todd's books and I especially like the character of plucky WWI nurse Bess Crawford. The reader put me right in the front lines of caring for the wounded.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
I douldn't put it down and wore my MP3 player all day till I finished it! Charles Todd always has lots of plot twists and turns which are not predictable.One minute Bess is fighting for her life with the Spanish influenza the next,she is nearly killed at the front.
Which character – as performed by Rosalyn Landor – was your favorite?
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Thank goodness it wasn't a 3 parter. I had to know what happened next and despite having read or listened to all of Todd's books, I couldn't guess what was going to happen next.
Any additional comments?
For fans of period murder mysteries and strong female characters, I highly recomment it

Fascinating, Dramatic and Spellbinding.
A wonderful story of wartime hardship with a Downton Abbey feel. A nurse discovers an inner strength that she would never have known apart from the stark ruthlessness of her own illness and the First World War. From a privileged military family in Britain, the heroin determines to return to France to serve the wounded after having, herself, survived the Spanish Flu pandemic that rivaled the war in numbers of fatalities. There is intrigue coupled with valor. This is a tribute to the strength and determination of women. It was hard to put down. Well narrated, I highly recommend this easy listen.

Entertaining performance, Addictive story lines.
Though both are written well, I've enjoyed Todd's Bess Crawford mystery series more than the Inspector Ian Rutledge series. Both take place during or just after WWI, which is an absolutely fascinating time period. It's obvious that Todd has done quite a bit of historical research on the war, which certainly adds to each stories' atmosphere.
The plots might sometimes be a bit of a stretch, but they have enough truth and "believability" so that I've always really enjoyed them.
The characters are the best part. They are so well developed, they're the reason I've gone through the whole Crawford series. After I'd used my Audible credit on the first book and finished it, I instantly purchased the second book so that I wouldn't have to wait a whole month to see how each character's subplots progressed.
The narrator's voice sounds a bit too cold for me at times, but again, each character's personality is very strongly written so that towards the end I wasn't bothered by it.
I thoroughly recommend this book. If you want your characters a bit darker, I suggest the Rutledge series as well.

The Perfect Crime
Where does An Unmarked Grave rank among all the audiobooks you've listened to so far?
It's an overall GOOD story.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Not exactly on the edge of my seat, but it kept me interested enough to want to continue listening, even when I needed to stop.
What does Rosalyn Landor bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
She's very good at changing voices, from women to men, and from British to American.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Hide a murder among the dead.
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed hearing about the difficulties of WWI. What horror for those who fought and who tried to save the wounded. Kudos to the Nurses in France on the front lines.

Highly recommend
Charles Todd does not disapoint in the 4th book of the "Bess Crawford" series. Rosalyn Landor has done a fantastic job in reading ALL the books in the series. I hope they continue to use her as the series progresses. She really brings the characters to life!

Charles Todd hasn't disappointed me yet!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I first 'discovered' him with the Ian Rutledge series and I keep hoping some more of
the earlier books will be on audible.com. He has mayhem, of course, and the voice in his head, but Todd has a wonderful way with the English language
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Now I see what an awful critic I am since I have listened to other audible books
since "An Marked Grave'!!
Have you listened to any of Rosalyn Landor???s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Only in the Bess Crawford series. She is very, very good..
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Sorry.... I'm old... sniff...

Be Aware of Spiders This Fall
Hulett Environmental informs homeowners of common household spiders
Any eight-legged pest is sure to be unwelcome in homes, but not all creepy-crawlers are the same. While some species of spiders are nothing more than a nuisance, others can pose serious health risks when they bite. Hulett Environmental, a pest management company servicing South Florida, urges homeowners to brush up on the types of spiders they could encounter this fall. Homeowners should be on the lookout for the following spider species: Common House Spider: These spiders don't pose a health risk, but they can be quite a nuisance throughout the house. They spin a tangled web in upper corners, angles of window frames and around furniture. Brown Recluse Spider: The bite from a brown recluse can cause a very painful ulcer. These spiders can be found in many undisturbed areas around the home, such as inside boxes, under furniture and in seldom-used clothing or shoes. Black Widow Spider: Probably the most infamous species of spider, the black widow's venom can have serious side effects, especially in children and the elderly. Widows often build nests in cluttered areas within garages, attics and basements. Hulett Environmental reminds homeowners that there are several ways to prevent spider bites and keep them out of the house all together:
- Install screens and weather stripping on windows and door sweeps on doors.
- Fix any cracks in siding and walls, especially where pipes or wires enter the home.
- Store clothing and shoes inside plastic containers, and shake out all clothing that has been in a hamper, on the floor or in storage before wearing.
- Wear heavy gloves when moving items that have been stored for a long period of time.
- Inspect shoes before wearing them, as spiders often hide inside.
- Reduce clutter in basements, garages and attics.
- Store firewood at least 20 feet away from the house.

Gabrielle Chanel is known for supporting the arts. Her close circle of friends included Stravinsky, Picasso and Diaghilev – some of the most creative and talented minds of the time. So, it should come as no surprise that the house of Chanel still cultivates the arts. Last year, Chanel announced the Mobile Art Container by Zaha Hadid. Unfortunately, the project came to a halt but Chanel's support of the arts continues. This year, Chanel is sponsoring the Tribeca Film Art Awards.
Each year, the Tribeca Film Festival asks 10 New York-based artists to create original works – each piece serves as a filmmaker prize, awarded to the Festival's winning film directors. During the festival, the original works are on display to the public. The 10 artists selected are Fritz Chesnut, SunTek Chung, Stephen Hannock, Kalp Linzy, Robert Mangold, Sr., Clofford Ross, David Salle, Tom Slaughter, Hank Willis Thomas, and Mickalene Thomas.

Justin's family and mine have been really good friends for many years, a friendship that's more like some family you get to choose, which is how I earned the affectionate title as Justin's aunt Rachel.
Knowing about my frustrations of physical limitations and health issues, Justin suggested that we could work together, be workout buddies. For me, it might mean feeling better, maybe a little stronger, more energy. And although Justin said it could help to hone his skills in helping those with limitations, I'm pretty sure that in his generosity, he just wanted to help me, while leaving my pride intact.
His passion for the gym is no secret, and seeing how skillfully he'd sculpted his own body's definition, it took very little convincing for me to try.
So what exactly is a personal trainer? To be honest, and more than a little ashamed, I'd always considered them to be those pretty, decorative people at the gym, who, while most helpful in learning the equipment, were more about bringing in new business.
Talk about misconception!! The amount of knowledge regarding the body's parts, musculature, systems, interactions, and function that is required to become licensed as a personal trainer is extremely difficult and frankly, would intimidate a "brainy" peron like me. So, my sincere apologies to all you beautiful, extremely smart, personal trainers out there, for my silly preconceived notions about what it is that you do. The difference between wandering around the gym, trying to decide which machines might work for you, and having a knowledgeable trainer tailor-fit a program just for you, is like the difference between traveling in a cattle car or going first class.
I believe that training for over 30 years with one of the most highly respected karate Sensei's in NY makes me a pretty good judge of teaching skills. So aside from the required learned skills, I've found Justin's patience, dedication and most importantly his intuitiveness, as to just how far to push, to be his natural gifts that will take him far in his chosen career and life in general. And while he is very serious about helping me accomplish the most that I can, there is no doubt in the fun and pleasure he gets from my every success.
So after 6 months of working with Justin, do I now look like a 20 year old model? I'm afraid that miracle would require a plastic surgeon with magical powers. Besides, it's not what this 65 year old grandmother was looking for. I will tell you that I've cut my diabetes and arthritis meds by half. I've regained most of my lost flexibility. I feel toned, love the way my clothes fit, there is now a bounce to my step and with each physical challenge that I conquer, I feel elated. Working out with Justin has also relieved some depression issues that were weighing me down. It's impossible to be depressed after working out for an hour in an atmosphere of achievement, pampering and kick-ass fun.
If you have any questions about my experience in working with Justin, please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you're considering this positive adventure in self improvement, I strongly recommend that you go for it"!
As Justin says "you deserve it".
Aunt Rachel

New Series Premieres Monday, August 8th at 10:30PM ET/PT
NEW YORK - July 7, 2011 - Duff Goldman made famous by Ace of Cakes, has a knack for satisfying America's sugary curiosity. In his new series, Sugar High, premiering Monday, August 8th at 10:30pm ET/PT, Duff takes a cross-country trek to capture the sweet secrets and tasty techniques that keep the cookies from crumbling in the top dessert destinations around the country. In the six-episode premiere season Duff visits a bevy of sweet spots from diners and snow cone machines to food carts and boutique bakeries, getting a full view of what it takes to sweeten up any soiree. His stops include Los Angeles, Dallas, New Orleans, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia where in each city he brings his expertise and personality to his search to find the nation's best baked goods.
"As a staple Food Network icon, Duff has developed a loyal following and this new show gives him an avenue to showcase a different side of his personality while celebrating the food category he loves and the people who create it," said Bob Tuschman, General Manager and Senior Vice President, Programming & Production, Food Network.
Throughout the season Duff highlights decadent desserts that are anything but ordinary from chilled bread pudding on the Venice boardwalk in California and tableside s'mores in Dallas, to Sno Ballz from the first-ever, shaved-ice machine in New Orleans and a slice of apple strudel in Chicago. Duff also satisfies his sweet tooth with lemon ginger mousse at a hip Asian diner in Boston and traditional rice pudding at a dessert boutique in Philadelphia.
Duff has been cooking since the age of four and started working professionally at a bagel shop in a mall when he was 14, and since then, Duff's been putting his own crazy spin on food. After graduating from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County with degrees in History and Philosophy, he went on to study at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley, California. He worked at several acclaimed culinary destinations, including the French Laundry, the Vail Cascade Hotel, and Todd English's Olives before returning to Baltimore in 2000 to become a personal chef. In March 2002, he opened Charm City Cakes where he was able to show off his creativity, and the bakery became a household name on Ace of Cakes, which aired for ten seasons on Food Network. Most recently, Duff and his team have headed to Los Angeles to open a second location of the bakery, Charm City Cakes West, which is scheduled to open in August.
Sugar High is produced by Authentic Entertainment.

BALTIMORE – After much delay, UMBC softball and George Washington will look to get their single game in at 3 p.m. on Thursday, March 27 at GW Softball Field. The contest was originally schedule for March 4 and has since been pushed back to Tuesday, March 25 and now Thursday, March 27 due to inclement weather.
Heading into its final game before America East action begins, the Retrievers sit at 19-9 on the season under head coach Joe French. UMBC posted a 2-3 record at the 11th Annual UMBC Spring Classic over the weekend, splitting a series with both Sacred Heart and Saint Peter's, before falling to Mount St. Mary's in the tournament finale. Senior Megan Sauble (Glen Burnie, Md./CCBC-Catonsville) hit the ball hard all weekend, going 4-for-9 from the dish for a team-best .444 average and four runs batted in.
The team has been hitting the ball exceptionally well, batting .291 for the season with a .428 slugging percentage. Junior catcher Taylor Hall (Cosby, Va./Cosby) is batting .400 and slugging .694, good enough for first in the America East conference. The junior is the 37th toughest batter to strike out in Division I and is tied with Amy Wolff (1994-97) and Julia Culotta (2008-11) for seventh on UMBC's all-time home runs list (21). Senior first baseman Chelsea Bertoglio (Laguna Hills, Calif./Laguna Hills/Saddleback College) has played error-free softball this season, and has impressed at the plate, driving in 23 runs this season.
UMBC's rookie pitchers have continued their excellence in the circle. Two-time America East Pitcher of the Week Jessica Holte (Ashland, Va./Atlee) leads the conference with a 1.63 ERA. Holte enters the week ranked first in Division I in walks allowed per seven innings (0.37) and ranks 50th with 11 victories. Kelly Lane (Albany, N.Y./Colonie Central) is holding opponents to a .250 batting average, good enough for fifth in the league. Nicole Casagrand (Horsham, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham) has allowed a team low 20 earned runs through 47.0 innings pitched.
Since grabbing all five games at the Capital Invitational, George Washington (11-18-1) has dropped three of its four games. The Colonials are led by freshman Megan Linn who was named Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week for games played March 10-16. She leads the team in batting average (.340) and runs batted in (21). Junior shortstop Victoria Valos was named Atlantic 10 Player of the Week last week. She leads the team with 12 doubles and three home runs, and is the school's all-time leader in runs batted in.

Everywhere, JPG - magazines for the future
San Francisco's 8020 Publishing lets readers decide - and create - what goes into Everywhere, JPG
In front of Mitchell Fox are two 100-plus-page magazines swollen with gorgeous photography and printed on thick, high-quality paper. Fox, the former publishing director of Condé Nast Publications, estimates it would cost his former employer millions to send photographers and writers around the world to produce magazines similar to the new products he's now overseeing for San Francisco's 8020 Publishing: the travel magazine Everywhere, and JPG, a photography journal.
So, how does that compare with the cost of assembling these new titles? Fox smiles at the comparison. A pittance.
That's because the images and short stories that fill these magazines are submitted by its readers. Folks post their photos to a Web site, the site's readers vote on the best ones, then a small team of editors assembles its top choices into the magazines. If their work is published, the photographers receive $100, plus a year's subscription. Even in this Twittering digital age in which tens of millions of self-publishers have created their own blogs, there is still enough of a thrill in being published in a bound print publication that the bi-monthly JPG has amassed an inventory of 500,000 images.
Quietly humming in the Fremont Street cubicles around Fox is a future media model - and one that terrorizes traditionalists. It takes 19 people, from editors to circulation managers, to produce these two magazines and their online cousins. While the rest of traditional media is scrambling to adapt print publications to the online world, 8020 is traveling the opposite route. It has created magazines culled from the best of an online community for almost nothing.
And more publications of this sort could be on the way. The 8020 team - which predicts its less-than-a-year-old publications will make money by next year - is looking into producing similar titles for foodies and car enthusiasts. But it will only do so if a critical mass of its online community demands such titles.
How will they know? Determining that alchemy in the new media world is more art than science.
"Any human interest can become a magazine," said Halsey Minor, whose Minor Ventures is the parent of 8020 Publishing. In 1993, Minor co-founded Cnet, another online venture that was ahead of its time; he left in 2000 to pursue other interests. This month, CBS Corp. purchased Cnet for $1.8 billion. Applying this user-generated content to print formula, Minor said, a publication can profitably sell 20,000 copies. (The publications are carried in the Borders and Barnes & Noble book chains for $6 each. Subscriptions are $25 annually. The publishers say JPG stands at 35,000 total circulation, Everywhere is at 50,000.)
News integration
The 8020 publications are another sign of user-generated content integrating with traditional media. This month, CNN.com won an innovation award from journalism's prestigious Knight Foundation for how it is combining citizen journalism with traditional reporting.
The network is now receiving 10,000 submissions a month to its 2-year-old iReport, where users across the globe submit still images and video. Some of the network's most poignant - and first - reporting from this month's earthquake in China came from an American student there who submitted an iReport about quake refugees.
Although CNN may have been initially reticent to accept unpolished citizen reports, the network's editors and producers are now comfortable using the best of the online reports on the air.
"But I don't think either traditional media or (citizen's media) is going away any time soon," said Lila King, a senior producer for user participation at CNN.com. "The reason that this is working so well is that it's an integrated effort."
"In some cases, user-generated content has something useful to give readers," said Sree Sreenivasan, who heads the new media program at the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism.
But Sreenivasan added a note of caution about trusting a community to select stories. These "create-your-own news sites," he said, "lose some of the serendipity of journalism. You're losing the stories that you might not see if there wasn't an editor looking out for them."
8020's editors agree there are fewer worries when vetting users' travel experiences than when vetting interpretations of news events.
Todd Lappin heard this argument from a lot of his former colleagues at traditional journalism outposts when he took the job as editor in chief at Everywhere magazine. Many had roughly the same question: Don't you worry about the veracity of what you're seeing?
"Any time you're dealing with user-generated content, you'll hear that," Lappin said. He's had no worries so far.
Articles may be short - most are 400 to 600 words - "but the quality is there," said Lappin, a former editor at Wired and other publications. "After doing this for a bit, I'm still not seeing what professional travel writers do that our people aren't doing better. Think about it. There's only one of them going to a place and there's potentially hundreds of our people already there."
It's hard to argue with the volume of submissions. The tagline on the cover of the April/May issue of JPG reads: "made by '16,278 submitters and 129,124 voters.' " Approximately 200 images make it into each issue and the editors will provide guidance about what kind of submissions they're looking for. Currently on the Everywhere Web site is the solicitation: "Help us make Issue 4!" It touts locales as diverse as Barcelona and "The Jersey Shore" as assignment suggestions for its community.
Want more? Look it up
Everywhere, unlike other travel mags, isn't chock-full of minute details on how much a hotel room costs or where is the best place to get beyaz peynir, a salty white cheese, in Turkey. Instead, as in its March/April 2008 issue, Everywhere featured the cheese in a full-page photo of a Turkish breakfast headlined: "How a Sultan Starts the Day."
If the reader wants more information, as Lappin said, "we figure our readers are savvy enough to google it." Plus, after print publication, the stories continue to live online and grow as more readers submit their photos and impressions of Turkey or Tokyo.
In this new world, said 8020 founder Paul Cloutier, the magazine is designed to be "inspirational." Magazines are best at that, he said. While the Web is excellent to plan a trip, purchase transportation and secure lodging, nothing beats a print publication for helping people dream about where they want to go.
"This is also about creating a community," Fox said. "That community lives online."
Sometime this summer, 8020 will help their readers become publishers themselves. The company is working on an online tool that will enable readers to create minibooks from stories published in the travel magazine. So, instead of tearing out the pages of a guide book or a glossy mag, readers can print their own minibook from an Everywhere story. The magazines own permanent nonexclusive rights to the photos, and they remain on the Web site until the creator pulls them down.
For Fox, a Condé Nast exec until he was terminated in January, the difference between 8020 and his former employer couldn't be more stark.
"What Condé Nast did was something that worked for generations," he said. "But this is 180 degrees apart from that."

White Papers and Application Notes
Simulation of Novel Groundwater Lowering Technique using Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian MethodY. Jin, E. Holzbecher, and P. Oberdorfer
Applied Geology
Geoscience Centre
Georg-August-University Göttingen
Göttingen, Germany
A novel method for groundwater lowering, which can be applied at construction sites, for aquifer remediation measures or in open mining, is proposed. In contrast to conventional techniques, dewatering is achieved without water conveyance. In this paper the physical concept of the new technology, referred as single borehole pump & inject, is modeled using COMSOL Multiphysics.
Two and three dimensional models are developed respectively and potential equation derived from Darcy's law is solved. The dynamics of hydraulic head changes in unconfined aquifer is modeled using arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ale) moving mesh method. Numerical results from the model show the same trends as measured data from field experiments.

Yuma Quartermaster Depot State Historic Park
is now proudly operated and managed by the City of Yuma (www.yumaaz.gov) and the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area (www.yumaheritage.com).
Open daily, 9am. - 5pm. (Park exhibits close at 4:30pm.)
Summer schedule (June 1st – September 30th) Closed Mondays
Step into the past and learn more about the Yuma Quartermaster Depot State Historic Park.
As you walk the grounds of the Yuma Quartermaster Depot State Historic Park, imagine the once-bustling grounds teeming with military life, preparing to travel to all parts west. The Yuma Quartermaster Depot was used by the U.S. Army to store and distribute supplies for all the military posts in Arizona, and some in Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Texas. Five of the original depot buildings remain on the park grounds, and four of these buildings contain exhibits which cover both the military history of the site and the history of the Bureau of Reclamation's construction of major irrigation works in the Yuma area during the early 1900s.
The Yuma Quartermaster Depot State Historic Park is located within the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area, an area that seeks to conserve, enhance, and interpret the natural and cultural resources of the community. The park offers a visitor center, exhibits, gift shop, picnic areas, group use areas, and restrooms.
Yuma Quartermaster Depot State Historic Park, site of the Yuma Quartermaster Depot, was used by the US Army to store and distribute supplies for all the military posts in Arizona, as well as posts in Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Texas. A six-month supply of clothing, food, ammunition, and other goods was kept at the depot at all times. The supplies were brought from California by ocean vessels traveling around the Baja Peninsula to Port Isabel near the mouth of the Colorado River. There, cargos were transferred to river steamers and brought upstream to Yuma. The supplies were unloaded near the stone reservoir just west of the commanding officer's quarters and hauled up on a track running from the river dock through the center of the storehouse. They were shipped north on river steamers and overland by mule-drawn freight wagons. The depot quartered up to 900 mules and a crew of teamsters to handle them.
The Southern Pacific Railroad reached Yuma in 1877 and heralded the end of the Quartermaster Depot and Fort Yuma. Trains could ship supplies much faster and cheaper than the Army could by water and freight wagons, and the depot was no longer needed in Yuma. When the railroad reached Tucson, the depot's functions were moved to Fort Lowell (in Tucson) and the depot officially closed in 1883.
In the early 1870s, the Signal Corps had moved into a portion of the quartermaster's office and established a telegraph and weather station. After the supply depot was terminated by the Army in 1883, the Signal Corps remained on site until 1891. In that year, the Weather Bureau became a separate agency from the Signal Corps. Civilian employees of the Weather Bureau then lived in the quartermaster's office until 1949.
In 1902, the commanding officer's quarters were acquired by the U.S. Customs Service. The Bureau of Reclamation, the Boundary Commission, the Yuma County Water Users Association, and the Assistance League of Yuma have also utilized portions of the old depot during the twentieth century.

The sun is still low in the sky,
it's rays have barely begun
to pierce the chill of our pale window.
Don't go, we are scarcely out of dreaming.
Caress my breast with the lifeline of your palm
while my head rests in the crook of your shoulder.
With these fingertips you kiss one by one
I will ease the furrow of your brow and
soothe your body with the twining of my own.
Let the hours pass through us tenderly
like a shallow river of fledgling reeds.

Lindsay Lohan had to cut short her spur of the moment international trip to hype her new film for a previously scheduled appointment: a date with a judge in L.A.
Last Thursday, the same day Lohan was due to appear before Judge Marsha Revel for a probation violation hearing, the troubled startlet took off for the Cannes Film Festival to promote her forthcoming Linda Lovelace biopic, "Inferno." According to statements made by Lohan's attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, to the judge, Lohan's passport was reportedly stolen while she was abroad, complicating her return to the U.S. Revel then issued a warrant for Lohan's arrest which was later recalled after bail of $100,000 was posted.
Lohan arrived at Los Angeles International Airport shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday evening, according to Access Hollywood and made her way out of the airport on the departure level to avoid the assembled paparazzi and press. She is now set to appear before Judge Revel on Monday morning.

The rise of mobile phone games has done wonders for the normally dark and seedy world of advergaming. With Oreo Twist, Lick, Dunk, PikPok has created an interactive advertisement I've actually wanted to play more than once.
The setup is pretty simple: Oreo cookies fly into the air. One swipe twists the tops off. The second swipe licks the cream and combines the parts into a bigger cookie. The third dunks it into a glass of milk. The player has 60 seconds to get the highest score possible. You know, for the leaderboards.
What's nifty about the game is that there are 20 varieties or Oreo to unlock, from Doublestuff to some of the more exotic brands. Each comes with a short description, giving fans of the brand some insight into the machinations of Nabisco's insane cookie craftsmen.
And hey, I just earned a free Amazon MP3 download for unlocking an achievement. That's pretty neat.
I just wish the game, itself an ad, wouldn't have ads at the bottom. It's like Adception up in here.

Marble Physics...huh?

ADDAC System
Marble Physics...huh?
br>Can anyone gives me some insights into the functions/patching of the Marble Physics, and perhaps some possible uses?
br> br>
br>Paranormal Patroler
br>Apart from being one of the most interesting modules out there you mean?
Do you own an O'Tool? br> br>
br>The module generates x, y and trigger CV output based on the physics of a marble rolling about on a curved surface and bumping against the edges of the surface. You get to input various parameters, x,y tilt of the surface, velocity and elasticity of marble etc.
They have a rather brilliant simulator for the product here:
http://www.addacsystem.com/product/addac500-series/addac503-marble-phy sics
where you can play around with a virtual version of the module. br> br>
br>Paranormal Patroler
br>Also, check Buchephalus Bouncing Ball from Aphex Twin and you're on the right track. br> br>

Mind - and track collection - suitably expanded. Thanks
br> br>
br>Paranormal Patroler
br> br>
br>Is this thing the ultimate in bouncy ball/stringy modules then?
Is there an online manual ? I know there's the interactive guide but that doesnt always make total sense. Same with the lissajou curves .. interesting but a good manual would help br> br>
br>I just picked up this module! My first ADDAC module
Looking forward to playing with later this week. br> br>
br>Paranormal Patroler
br>Do you have an oscilloscope of any kind? It helps a lot. br> br>
br>I had an O'Tool but sold it for the future pending +/enhanced version! So no for right now. br> br>
br>Paranormal Patroler
br>Well, be sure to buy the new version when you can. I'm telling you, it will make a big difference in understanding the functionality of this module if you have an O'Tool connected to it. You'll love it! br> br>
br>I keep eying the ADDAC205 Dual Oscilloscope. Would that be a good companion as well??? br> br>
br>Paranormal Patroler
br>If it accepts two inputs and can do Lissajous, then yes. What you need is that last mode on the O'Tool that made weird shapes? That's Lissajous. If you use that with the Marbles you can see the point moving on the XY grid so you understand when it bounces etc etc. It's easy to figure out what the module does if you have visual feedback!
br> br>
br>Thanks for the input! Don't believe the ADDAC205 can do Lissajous, although has two inputs. So for now, I'll just have to wing it until the new O'Tool or similar counterpart is released. br> br>
br>Paranormal Patroler
br>Ask ADDAC to make sure if it does. But just make sure you don't give up on the Marble Physics unless you've seen it work with a visual feedback. I know people can be dissuaded by its functionality as it can be difficult to figure out.
Good luck and have fun! br> br>
br>Maybe it can do Lissajous figures, I just had a look at the description on Schneider's website:
"ADDAC 205 - Details: You operate each oscilloscope with a menu and four buttons. Besides the oscilloscope function the ADDAC 205 also has other features like voltage metering,
X/Y-oscilloscope for creating Lissajous figures and more
. There´s a trigger input for synchronizong the refresh rate to external signals. Each channel has two signal inputs with commutable switches. The arbitrary waveform generator vcan create sine, triangle and sawtooth waves."
But it's not clear from ADDAC specs or other sites. I better inquire ADDAC.
Update: Looks like it has an X-Y mode! Since there's no harm in having a dedicated oscilloscope on hand anyway...I ordered
Still plan on picking up the O'Tool+ if ever released.

Any tips/settings for keeping the ball center of plane??? br> br>
br>Paranormal Patroler
br>I can only give you guidelines for the O'Tool as I don't own an ADDAC205. br> br>
br>would the oscilloscope make a difference??? I can visually see what the marble is doing on the ADDAC205 in X/Y mode, and bouncing. last night I experimented with adjusting the X & Y Tilt's separately, trying to center the marble when combined/triggered manually (no other CV Ins). I had more luck with settings in Bipolar mode, but more often the marble comes to a rest in one corner
figured you may have some tricks on marbles with settings.
it's actually pretty fun to play with! I didn't even bother patching yet. I more/less got a kick out of watching the marble bounce around the screen and adjusting settings. br> br>
br>Paranormal Patroler
br>I thought you wanted tips about centering it on screen, 'cause it makes a difference if the O'Tool is in 5V/10V mode etc etc. I'll see what my optimal settings for the Marble are and I'll let you know.
Told you that visual feedback is much fun! br> br>

shoot, well see what your optimal settings are anyway, and I'll see if I can duplicate playing around marbles and settings on the 205!
yes, a scope for this module seems a requirement! br> br>
br>This in an old subject but does anybody know about any audio plugin that simulates gravity and physics? Some Max4Live patch perhaps? Besides ADDAC I would like to use it also for sounds in my computer. br> br>
