It's Monday, which means it's time to bring you our weekly True Mom Confessions. This week, we're confessing about housecleaning — a post inspired by a frightening realization for me last week.
My husband called me at work to ask what the little black balls were that were burning in the bottom of our oven when he tried to make the twins' dinner. I told him they must be some of the chick peas I had roasted the day before, and they must have popped off the baking sheet without my noticing.
After we got off the phone it struck me: Had I cleaned our oven since we moved in … five years ago?
Ugh. I think that perhaps my husband scrubbed it out at least once in that time period, but oven maintenance is definitely a shortcoming for me, and it isn't getting any better now that we have two toddlers roaming about.
So confess, moms and dads. Where do you fall short when it comes to housekeeping?
If you're a Tidy Heidi, you're not eligible to participate. Those of us who haven't cleaned our oven in half a decade don't want to hear about how you neglect to wash the inside of your kitchen cabinets regularly.

59 vehicle introductions highlight successful Press Preview at 2013 NAIAS
Confidence, optimism, fresh-thinking define top global event
DETROIT – "You walk on to the show floor, and immediately sense a renewed feeling of confidence in the automotive industry," said a smiling Jim Seavitt, chairman, 2013 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). "It's clear that the industry is back, and the global manufacturers have saved their best for Detroit."
As the exciting two-day Press Preview comes to a close, Seavitt reported that 59 vehicles were introduced (50 worldwide; 9 North American).
"As expected, our media numbers remained strong overall, and actually increased internationally - a critical factor for a global show," said Seavitt. "We welcomed 5,212 media from 62 countries, including new entries from Namibia and Singapore. We also saw more registrations from out-of-state U.S. media, which has lead to a significant increase in national coverage."
"For two days, people around the world have seen a steady stream of exciting images and news coverage representing a new day in the automotive industry," added Seavitt. "I am proud of our show; I'm proud of our city. It's been a very good couple of days."
Up next for NAIAS: Industry Preview, Jan. 16-17; Charity Preview, Jan. 19; and Public Show, Jan. 19-27.

Despite race, creed, color, or financial situation, every man in the world shares one trait --I mean besides having to be heavily sedated and dragged kicking and screaming to any movie about relationships. The universal male trait in question is the aversion to keeping things clean. If ever there was one flag representing all men, there could be no image more appropriate than a pair of dirty socks on the floor. Long may they stink.
Not that this is any excuse, but we men do have historical precedent for being slobs. This dates back to the Garden of Eden, where Eve was irked to find Adam's apple cores everywhere, despite the Thou Shalt Not Litter signs in plain view. In the Middle Ages, kings themselves would toss their just-eaten beef ribs on the floor for their dogs. This would really irritate their queens, who were already quite steamed about the king's refusal to take out the garbage.
This dates back to the Garden of Eden, where Eve was irked to find Adam's apple cores everywhere.
Incredibly, there was even litter on man's first journey to the moon: a Nestles Crunch Bar wrapper and one of Neil Armstrong's socks. Little known fact: Armstrong said "one small step for man" for a reason -- he couldn't find his other sock. What's behind this male aversion to keeping things clean? Laziness? Stupidity? Insensitivity? Too easy -- those are reasons for everything else men do or don't do. There are, in fact, three basic reasons why men hate cleaning. Actually, there are four, but I wrote the fourth one down on the back of a Fudgcicle wrapper, and now it's somewhere in this pile of papers and half-eaten sandwiches on my desk and I can't find it.
The first reason men hate cleaning is that they somehow believe that cleaning is women's work and so by doing it, they'll be perceived as less masculine. Unfortunately, this too has historical precedent. At the high point of his career, Alexander the Great was spotted dusting his shield. For the remainder of his life, no matter how impressive his accomplishments, whenever he passed by, onlookers would snicker and refer to him as, first, Alexander the Duster; then, Dusty, Dustine, and finally, just Dust. Eventually, this drove him insane. At his funeral, mourners could not help but scoff and toss feather dusters on top of his coffin.
The second reason men hate cleaning is that they are convinced it is a low-priority activity, when they don't even have time to complete their abundance of high-priority activities. Among the high-priority activities men believe take precedence over cleaning are: napping, watching sports games on TV, bowling, drinking beer with their buddies, and attending How to Have a Great Marriage Without Spending Any Time with your Wife seminars.
The third reason men hate cleaning is that they see this hate as a rebellion against authority. Think of it as the Revolutionary War, without issues or intelligence. As young boys, their mothers were constantly badgering them to pick up their clothes from the floor, wash their hands, clean up their rooms. The universal male dream was always When I Grow Up And Have My Own Place, I'll Be As Sloppy As I Want And No One Will Be Able To Tell Me What To Do. The irony, of course, is that if a man is married, he'll still be told what to do. And if he's single, he better clean if he doesn't want to remain one of those weird slobby single guys for the rest of his life.
He better clean if he doesn't want to remain one of those weird slobby single guys for the rest of his life.
Of course, sometimes men do make a sincere effort to clean. They do this in an attempt to 1) Impress a date, 2) Placate a wife, or 3) Tidy up before the parole officer arrives to inspect. And when men do try to clean, you can pretty much count on their either breaking something, ruining something, or burning something down. Before asking a man to clean, always be sure the place is insured for full replacement value.
Getting men to clean, though, need not be seen as a hopeless cause. My suggestion -- have macho role models do public service announcements promoting men cleaning: "This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. You may know me as the Terminator but when I'm at home, I just love terminating the mildew from the tiles in my shower. Like we say in my native Austria – dirty men are girly men." Immediately, men throughout America would pick up sponges, mops, and vacuums. And then immediately put them down 'cause the commercials are over and the game's back on. But hey, it's a start.

My adventures in the world of historical reenactment by Charlie Schroeder. ISBN 978-0-14-219680-9, Plume Books (part of the Penguin group), 2012.
Realising how little he knew of the past the author took it upon himself to immerse himself in it for 15 months by joint various reenactment groups in the USA. Not really a historical study (although I learnt facts that I was not aware of but a sympathetic look at why people re-enact the past. I found the journey he went on insightful and funny, and even though all the groups were American could not help but recognize so.e of the character types he encountered.
And like him I can't get my head around why anyone would want to portray SS.

Skin glue is a special type of medical adhesive. It joins the edges of a wound together, while the wound starts to heal underneath.
Skin glue is a special type of medical adhesive. It joins the edges of a wound together, while the wound starts to heal underneath.
Doctors and nurses may use skin glue to close wounds instead of other methods, such as:
Skin glue can be used for children and adults.
Skin glue is usually used for simple cuts or wounds that:
Skin glue can also be used to close the edges of other wounds that may be larger. For example, over the top of stitches beneath your skin (subcutaneous stitches) or to close an incision made during an operation.
Surgeons may use skin glue after operations or procedures such as:
Skin glue isn't normally used to close some types of wound. For example:
Skin glue can be used to treat wounds on most parts of your body, including:
It may be possible to use it for some wounds on your hands, feet or joints, but this will depend on where the wound is and how much pressure you put on the wound when you move.
Skin glue isn't usually used on parts of your body that may be moist or damp, such as:
Your doctor or nurse will apply the skin glue as a liquid or paste, and paint it on to your skin at the wound's edges. They will not put the glue inside your wound.
More than one layer of glue will probably be needed.
Sometimes, your doctor or nurse may give you a local anaesthetic before closing your wound.
The first layer of skin glue takes only a few minutes to set. It forms a protective covering over your wound. Other layers may take a little longer to set.
While the glue is setting, your doctor or nurse will try to stop it running on to anything else, such as other parts of your body or your clothes.
For example, if your wound is on your face, while they apply the glue, they may put a piece of gauze over other parts of your face, such as your eye.
Most wounds closed with skin glue heal normally.
Research has shown that there's a slightly higher risk that some wounds may break open again (dehisce) than wounds closed with other methods, such as stitches. However, this risk is small.
The scar from your wound will probably take about six months to fade. Some research studies have found that wounds closed with skin glue may leave neater scars than other methods, such as stitches and adhesive tape.
If your wound is likely to get dirty, your doctor or nurse may put another dressing on top of the skin glue to keep it clean. Otherwise, you may not need any other dressing for your wound.

Racial Attack: Indiana Man Slashed With 7-inch Knife To The Face While Trying To Find A Job!
"In late August, Elree Jones of Chicago stopped at an Indiana convenience store to pick up some beer when -- out of nowhere -- a man approached him and slashed his face with a large knife. Mark A. Neal, 50, was charged in the vicious and seemingly random attack, and investigators told Lafayette's Journal & Courier that Neal's motive was unknown. NBC Chicago, however, spoke with Jones and witnesses who say the attack was a clear hate crime. "He just slashed my face. I still had my phone in my hand. He slashed my face and I dropped the phone," Jones told NBC. "After he slashed my face, I was in shock. He kept going, so I was blocking [him]... he slashed me in my arm." " - NBC 5

I want to find an expert who REALLY knows the bodies, conditions, issues, functions, and capabilities of people with SCI.
I want an expert who can completely evaluate me, tell me what to stop doing, and tell me what to start doing.
I want an expert who uses the most current and advanced knowledge and technologies.
I have been quadriplegic for 31 years and am fairly healthy, but I haven?t seen a doctor or physical therapist with SCI expertise for many, many years.
Thank you for your recommendations.

COVER- Year in review: The good, the bad, the horrible
Have we bottomed out yet?
Bankers say yay; job seekers say nay. For the most part, Charlottesville escaped the massive layoffs faced in places like neighboring Waynesboro, but then, we didn't really have much of an industrial base to begin with.
National economic unease has changed us.
And locally, the October 17 disappearance of Morgan Harrington has changed how we see ourselves and where we live. In best-place-to-live Charlottesville, a cruel truth is that it's not unusual for young women to get raped. But for them to disappear off the face of the earth, that simply doesn't happen here. We like to think Katie Worsky's 1988 disappearance an anomaly, but Harrington's vanishing has burst the security bubble of this community.
Hundreds turned out to search for her, and two months later, we're left to come to grips with a gaping wound of the sort found in other, less desirable places to live. Harrington is the most tragic example of missing this year, but there were other disappearances.
Former Glenmore Country Club prez Mike Comer went missing July 1, as did over $600K in homeowner association funds.
Completion of a luxury hotel in the middle of the Downtown Mall is missing after a year, and it remains a hollow shell of once grand dreams.
Jobs went missing, as did salary increases for government and university employees– but at least they retained their paychecks, unlike so many others. For some, salary parts went missing with pay cuts, and downward mobility is a trend we really hate.
State funding went missing– again– creating even larger deficits in city and county budgets.
And quite often missing in homes is the working photoelectric fire detector that could save lives in smoldering fires.
Still missing is consensus– and funding– for a workable longterm water plan, and a sense of accountability to taxpayers from the boards of the local water and waste authority.
But hey, 2009 wasn't all grim. U2 found its way to Scott Stadium for a mega concert. The Jefferson Theater found its way back as a renovated music hall. And Charlottesville's first Restaurant Week (organized by the Hook) found great deals at upscale eateries.
For your convenience, here are the best– and the worst– of 2009:
Biggest brick-and-mortar project: The Downtown Mall is ripped up in January and new brick is laid sans mortar, a $7.5 million project that moves vendors to the east end of the mall, makes for a jack-hammery start of the year, and is finished by Memorial Day.
Biggest blight on the Downtown Mall landscape: The skeleton of the mired-in-litigation Landmark Hotel celebrates its first anniversary as an unfinished eyesore.
Next biggest blight: The empty storefronts along the mall. The Hook counted 12 in February.
Biggest RICO suit: Rivanna Solid Waste Authority sues Fluvanna trash pioneer Peter Van der Linde for $3.5 million under federal racketeering law for allegedly lying about the origins of trash to avoid tipping fees.
Toughest break for the plaintiff: The waste authority's star witness, Richard Wade Kendrick, is convicted of attempted extortion December 10.
Easiest recycling: Van der Linde gets a permit to take household trash November 23 at his Fluvanna facility, where it's sorted and recycled, and local haulers like Time Disposal and Dixon pick up all-in-one-can recycling.
Most old-school recycling: Charlottesville citizens continue with separate recycling bins and trash cans after the city signs a five-year contract with Waste Management.
Biggest changing of the guard at UVA: President John Casteen announces he'll step down August 1, 2010, after a 20-year run helming Virginia's flagship university.
Biggest buyouts at UVA: Basketball coach Dave Leitao resigns March 16 after a 10-18 season and heads out the door with a $2.1 million check in his pocket. He's followed in November after UVA's inglorious defeat by Tech in an otherwise dismal season by head football coach Al Groh, who takes home $4.33 million.
Freshest head coach faces: Tony Bennett comes from Washington State to take over UVA's hoops program for $1.7 million; Mike London gets the football golden ring, also at a $1.7 million starting salary.
Angriest: Grassroots "tea parties" spring up around the country, and the local Jefferson Area Tea Party holds a tax day event at the Pavilion, organized by Bill Hay, with tea bags to invoke an earlier revolution against taxation. Local tea partiers draw the line at burning 5th District Congressman Tom Perriello (D-Ivy) in effigy, as a Danville group proposed in November.
Most vulnerable: Perriello has seven Republicans lining up to take him on in 2010 for his vote on health care reform, and he's on a national list of targeted House Dems.
Best sign "purple" Virginia is tilting red: Republicans take the top state offices, with Bob McDonnell trouncing State Senator Creigh Deeds (who serves a Charlottesville-area district) for governor– even though Deeds practically tied McDonnell for the Attorney General job four years ago.
Biggest turnover on the Board of Supervisors: Conservatives take a majority position on the Albemarle BOS when four-term supe Sally Thomas announces she won't seek reelection. Republicans Duane Snow wins her Samuel Miller District seat in November, and Rodney Thomas unseats Democratic incumbent David Slutzky in the Rio District.
Biggest turnover for city Dems: The party ditches its nominating convention and tries a firehouse primary to pick City Council candidates. Incumbent Julian Taliaferro (despite a career spent in a firehouse) does not receive his party's nomination. That goes to Kristin Szakos, who goes on to win with Mayor Dave Norris.
Boldest independent run for Council: Bob Fenwicks runs on a reservoir-dredging, save-McIntire platform, and garners 20 percent of the vote in the five-person race.
Best landing on one's feet: Former city councilor/Schilling Show host Rob Schilling gets the boot from his one-hour WINA show last December 19. Outraged listener response prods WINA into hiring Schilling back a month later to host a two-hour talk show..
Old media woes: In February, debt-laden Media General, which owns the Daily Progress, tells employees to take 10 days off– without pay. At the end of March, six Progress staffers and 59 Richmond Times-Dispatch employees get the boot. And Hook staffers see cuts in their paychecks. Ouch.
Oddest bedfellows: The Progress and nonprofit growth-watchdog Charlottesville Tomorrow team up to provide more coverage to government meetings.
Biggest copyright infringement suit: Daily Progress photog Matt Rosenberg sues former cVillain owner Kyle Redinger for $350K for twice using a thumbnail of a Rosenberg shot of arts/music space the Garage.
Smallest copyright infringement settlement: The suit is settled for $750 at the end of June, right before Redinger pulls the plug on cVillain, which he sells. It's up and running again less than two months later.
Biggest defamation suit: Buckingham publicist-to-the-stars Tommy Garrett sues the Hook December 22, 2008, for $10.7 million, and subpoenas the IP addresses of anyone who commented or looked at a story about the suit on Cvillenews.com, which was founded by ACLU-defended Waldo Jaquith. That civil liberties organization, as well as Public Citizen and the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression sign up to help Jaquith fight the subpoena. By April 14, Garrett's lawyer, James Creekmore, begs off the case, and a month later, the suit is dropped.
Most anticipated defamation suit: Litigation-prone millionaire Halsey Minor puts the Hook in his sights for covering his financial woes and threatens to sue the paper into oblivion.
Biggest free speech controversy, part 1: Blogger Elisha Strom is jailed July 16 for a month for publishing the address of a Jefferson Area Drug Enforcement task force member– a no-no under the Code of Virginia– which draws the interest of the ACLU. Strom ultimately pleads guilty to two counts of obstruction of justice and avoids further jail.
Biggest free speech controversy, part 2: The location of U.S. Representative Tom Perriello's office in the Glass Building irks his neighbors when they find their pricey parking spaces filled with protesters, and the protesters, who demand Perriello move his office to better accommodate their right to petition. The Rutherford Institute urges Perriello to relocate his office, and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann leaps into the fray December 14, labeling Rutherford founder John Whitehead "the worst person in the world."
Biggest "right to petition" scandal: D.C. lobbying firm Bonner & Associates sends out fake letters to Perriello that purportedly come from constituents like the local NAACP chapter in an attempt to influence his Cap-and-Trade vote.
Most banned books: Virginia's Department of Corrections nixes gifts from the volunteer, 20-year-old Books Behind Bars program, started by Quest Bookshop owner Kay Allison, that's provided over a million books, quite often dictionaries, to 11,000 inmates. The Department reverses after public outcry and a Rutherford Institute inquiry, but its banned books list still spans 25 pages, according to a Daily Progress report, including issues of the Progress.
Most banned Hooks: A September photo montage of UVA students appearing in "Girls of the ACC" through the years in Playboy launches a firestorm. A number of people let the Hook know that it is very wrong to publish photos of naked ladies.
Favorite headline from the Newsplex: "Has the Hook gone too far?"
Best deathbed confession: Staunton closes the book on its notorious April 1967 High's Ice Cream slayings of two young women when terminally ill Sharron Diane Crawford Smith, a coworker of the victims, confesses 41 years later to pulling the trigger, is charged with murder, and then dies on January 19. She also reveals that she told Staunton investigator Davie Bocock she'd committed the crime a few days after the murders, and that they buried the murder weapon on his farm, leading to unconfirmed speculation that he might be her father.
Oldest murder to go to trial: Alvin Lee "Butch" Morris faces a jury for the 1988 murder of Roger Lee Shifflett, who was gunned down at the now-defunct Southwind Gas and Grocery and whose widow Morris married. After a weeklong trial, the jury evenly deadlocks, and Albemarle Commonwealth's Attorney Denise Lunsford decides to not try the case again.
Oldest and coldest: Meriwether Lewis' October 10, 1809, death still leaves questions about exactly how he died, and his family seeks to have his body, buried on National Park Service land, exhumed.
Longest sentence for assaultive havoc: I-64 shooter Slade Woodson gets 15 years in Albemarle County for firing at occupied vehicles and homes during a beer-soaked rampage starting March 26, 2008, that closed the interstate and county schools the next morning.
Longest sentence for murder: Roderick McDowell is charged in the April 2007 Wood Grill Buffet slaying of William "Billy" Godsey, who came to meet his wife Sarah, the night manager there. McDowell is convicted of first-degree murder and robbery May 28, and the jury recommends a 60-year sentence.
Rarest suicide: Using helium, which is officially the ruling in the deaths of Don and Valerie Slater, whose farewell note said they had lost their own money and that of others. The couple were found at their Stony Point mansion January 21.
Saddest losses: Longtime UVA Dean of Admissions John Blackburn dies January 21 from cancer. Dr. Vito Perriello, 68, longtime pediatrician and father of Congressman Tom, dies February 22 after two strokes. Carol Whitehead, 60, wife of Rutherford Institute founder John, dies unexpectedly June 3. UVA intramural and recreational sports director Mark Fletcher, 57, dies June 8 after his morning run. Judge Herbert Pickford III, 75, dies June 7 of pancreatic cancer. UVA athletics media relations guy Michael Colley, 46, dies July 11 while walking on the beach. UVA's largest benefactor/Weather Channel founder Frank Batten dies September 10 at age 82. Carson Raymond, 9, succumbs to complications related to the H1N1 virus October 10. Musician Johnny Gilmore, 45, dies October 22 in a fire in his apartment bedroom. Farmer/activist Kathryn Russell, 54, is thrown from her truck in an accident on U.S. 29 south. Virginia Book Fest co-founder Cal Otto passes away November 23 in Colorado Springs at age 79. Dr. Latham Murray, a surgeon at Martha Jefferson Hospital, 58, is killed in an accident November 25 at Panorama Farm.
Biggest epidemic: H1N1, a.k.a. swine flu, hits the U.S. in late April. By December, officials call the epidemic "mild"– except for people like Carson Raymond.
Latest in a tragic death: Kenneth Barbour, the truck driver who ran a red light and plowed into 16-year-old Sydney Aichs last year on U.S. 29 at Forest Lakes South, gets two years jail time July 28 for reckless driving and involuntary manslaughter. In November, a jury awards the teen's family $5.25 million in a civil suit against Barbour and two trucking companies.
Boldest legislative action against red-light runners: Albemarle's Board of Supervisors approves photo-red cameras in August for three of the county's most congested intersections: U.S. 29 at Hydraulic and Rio, and at Route 250 and Stony Point Road.
Biggest birthday: UVA bad boy Edgar Allan Poe turns 200 January 19.
Loudest bark: A longstanding neighbor dispute and Maremma Sheepdogs in Free Union have the county consider– and reject– an ordinance July 8 that would have extended Albemarle's 30-minute barking ban to the rural area.
Most surprising arc: UVA law prof Jon Cannon resigns from the Albemarle Planning Commission in January to take the #2 job at the Environmental Protection Agency under President Barack Obama. Cannon, described as a "straight arrow" by the former Law School dean John Jeffries, withdraws from the EPA position in March when America's Clean Water Foundation, on whose board he once served, comes under scrutiny.
Most surprising recommendation: A Rivanna Reservoir task force suggests January 26 that dredging not be studied for the area's rapidly silting water supply except to preserve the reservoir for rowing.
Biggest decline: Water consumption decreases 22 percent– from 4.03 billion gallons annually to 3.2 billion gallons from 1999 to 2009– while customers' water bills, ironically, double.
Best news for county water drinkers: The Albemarle County Service Authority implements new pricing that dramatically increases the more water is used, rewarding water misers and punishing water guzzlers.
Latest tab on dam studies commissioned by the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority: $12 million.
Latest tab on legal fees spent by the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority: $118,900 for July and August, compared to $70K spent on recycling and $62,000 for the Ivy transfer station. By December, the attorney bill is $340K.
Best sign the real estate bubble burst: Albemarle home assessments decline 2.5 percent in 2008 after years of spiraling up, with condos dropping 7.7 percent.
Best sign that not everyone got that memo: Patricia Kluge lists Albemarle House for $100 million.
Biggest break-ups: Jefferson Theater owner Coran Capshaw and the Ash Lawn Opera Company were best buds as the 108-year-old theater underwent renovation until February, when Ash Lawn announced it was pulling out of plans to use the Jeff for its summer season. Former Landmark Hotel developers Halsey Minor and Lee Danielson file suit and countersuit.
Best break-up: GE and Fanuc, which employ 500 as GE Fanuc, go their own ways, but thus far have not announced layoffs.
Worst closing: The Hyosung tire cord plant in Scottsville gives out 106 pink slips before Christmas.
Biggest change in technology: Local broadcast companies make the change from analog to digital broadcasting February 17, and bunny ears become a thing of the past.
Biggest crowd lined up for event you could see on TV: The January 20 inauguration of Barack Obama had people lined up in front of the Paramount (as well as the John Paul Jones Arena and countless restaurants) to share the moment.
Worst alleged embezzler, part 1: John Donnelly swindles friends and racing buddies out of $11 million in his Ponzi scheme, pleads guilty, and is sentenced November 6 to 7 1/2 years.
Worst alleged embezzler, part 2: Former Glenmore Country Club prez Mike Comer disappears from his family's Wintergreen getaway house July 1, the same day an audit is scheduled of the Glenmore homeowner association, of which he's been treasurer since 1994. Comer turns up scruffy July 27, is arrested and charged with five counts of embezzlement. Married to the daughter of the late Glenmore developer Frank Kessler, Comer's in-laws pledge to repay the missing $647,000. He's back in court in January, either for a trial date or a plea.
Best place for homeless people: Director Tom Shadyac's The Haven, the former First Christian Church on Market Street, nears completion as a day shelter. Charlottesville City Council buys a primo Region Ten parcel on Fourth Street NW for $1.6 million as the future site of a single-room facility for the homeless and working poor.
Not so great for the homeless: Cash-strapped Region Ten now only takes those diagnosed with a serious mental illness.
Bumpiest ride: Two gigantic speed bumps at the Second Street Mall crossing continue to scrape cars and defy logic, topping the city's previously most controversial calming project, the so-called bump-outs that have turned Park Street into a driving derby.
Newest invasive species: The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries confirms the fact that coyotes have arrived, something well known by hunters and farmers.
Newest obnoxious crime: A brief spree of stealing all four tires from parked Hondas in the city in the spring, a type of theft not typically seen here.
Newest green spaces: State Farm donates 10 acres along the Rivanna that connect with Darden Towe Park and ultimately, the county hopes, to Monticello. Out past past Brown's Cove on Route 810, the Patricia Ann Byrom family donates 600 acres for a county park.
Most controversial green space, part 1: McIntire Park inspires "Save McIntire" signs all around its boundaries after the beleaguered park is threatened by the Meadowcreek Parkway, the YMCA, and loss of softball players and golfers.
Most controversial green space, part 2: After years of sucking county manpower and time to approve the massive Biscuit Run "neighborhood model" subdivision in a growth area south of town, developer Hunter Craig signals a wish to donate the $46-million, 1,200-acre parcel to the cash-strapped Commonwealth as a park.
Most tragic anniversary: August 19 marks 40 years since remnants of Hurricane Camille slammed into Nelson County and killed 125 people, 33 of whom were never found.
Most endangered historic landmark: Hatton Ferry gets dumped by VDOT because of the aforementioned state budget shortfall. Albemarle County steps up for a little while, and the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society shoulders responsibility for hand-poled James River transport.
Most trains: On October 1, Amtrak (and Virginia taxpayers) add a long-awaited, twice-a-day train providing an extra option for direct travel as far as Boston.
Most surprising ranking: Car and Driver names Charlottesville a Top 10 Drivers' City in December.
Biggest threat to college students: Moving off campus to housing with an ineffective or nonworking ionization smoke alarm. UVA is now installing the more-reliable-in-a-smoldering-fire photoelectric detectors, which were tested by the Hook last year in cooperation with local fire departments.
Most suspicious fire: An unoccupied Stony Point mansion on the market for two years for $3.5 million-plus burns to the ground August 16. Owner Darren Kady, who lives in Charlotte, says he turned off the sprinklers because of a leak.
Most rabid: Two people are bitten by a sweater-stealing fox August 26 in the UVA/Rugby Road area. A gray fox is captured and euthanized September 2– but the test for rabies is inconclusive.
Least successful hitman scheme: Former Keller Williams realtor Patrick Shemorry is convicted of hiring Michael Allen Terry to kill his wife and sentenced to 9 1/2 years December 9.
Likeliest to be asked to urinate in a cup: Employees at Monticello queue up with cup in hand as the Thomas Jefferson Foundation institutes random drug testing, despite a lack of evidence of a drug problem at the home of the man who penned that line about "liberty" as an inalienable right.
Most melancholy reunion: On Halloween morning in Crozet, sole survivor Phil Bradley holds a memorial service commemorating the 1959 crash of Piedmont Airlines Flight #349, whose crash killed 26.
Hottest pursuit: A high-speed chase down Rugby Road August 7 reaches speeds of 85mph and scalps a house at Preston Avenue.
Biggest miracle: No one is killed, including the 17-year-old alleged auto-thieving perp, who lands nearly 50 feet down, seemingly unscathed.
Best video: The pursuing officer's dashcam recording of the chase is the wildest police video since an officer cranking the Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps" knocked down wheelchair-bound Gerry Mitchell two years ago in a crosswalk.
Least surprising lawsuit: Gerry Mitchell, struck and then ticketed while he's still in the hospital, files suit June 16 for $850,000.
Best sign this isn't your great-great grandfather's Old Dominion: The state founded on tobacco 400 years ago bans smoking in bars and restaurants on December 1.

By Jill U. Adams
Special to Washington Post
I woke up at 3:43 one morning. After an hour of lying awake in the dark, I moved to the sofa and read my book for an hour. Then I turned off the light and went back to sleep.
Middle-of-the-night awakenings are common for many people, and how we deal with this habit is key to getting a good sleep, says sleep expert Michael Grandner, a psychologist at the Center for Sleep and Circadian Neurobiology at the University of Pennsylvania. It turns out that I made a couple of mistakes that might have kept me from going back to sleep more quickly: I shouldn't have looked at my clock, and I shouldn't have waited so long to get out of bed.
Looking at the clock leads to two things antithetical to sleep, Grandner says – math and worry. You are bound to calculate how many hours of sleep you've gotten and how many are left, thereby triggering daytime brain functions. You are likely to then start worrying about being tired tomorrow as you tackle a long to-do list, thereby activating stress.
Staying in bed while awake trains you to associate your bed with wakefulness rather than sleep, Grandner says.
Those are just two bits of sound sleep advice, but why did I wake up in the first place? That's a question in sleep research that remains largely unanswered.
The vast majority of patients seeking treatment for insomnia have some kind of sleep breathing problems, at least according to a recent study. In that study, published online in the journal Sleep & Breathing, researchers conducted a chart review of 1,035 patients and found that 81 percent had breathing issues.
The study's lead author, Barry Krakow, medical director of Maimonides Sleep Arts and Sciences in Albuquerque, N.M., designed a subsequent study to better understand insomniacs without obvious breathing issues – the 19 percent in his chart review study.
Twenty such people were asked whether they could identify what made them wake up. They reported such causes as nightmares, noises, needing to urinate and pain; many said they didn't know.
Next, the participants spent one night in a sleep research facility. Researchers recorded a combined total of 531 awakenings and found that 478 of them followed a "breathing event" such as an episode of apnea or labored breathing. Thirty awakenings lasted at least five minutes, and all of these were preceded by a breathing event. These findings, published last year in the journal Sleep, reveal that breathing issues are the cause for even more middle-of-the-night awakenings than previously appreciated.
Krakow says studies have tended to focus on getting people back to sleep, not on why they wake up.
"I believe … that in people without known causes of insomnia" – such as stress, depression or other medical conditions – "90 percent of waking events are due to breathing issues," Krakow says.
Disorders that affect chronic insomniacs may not carry over to people with less severe sleep problems, Krakow says. Still, he advises people to take care of their noses before taking sleep medication. Treat any allergies, clear your nasal passages with a saline flush or a neti pot, or try nasal strips.

Adjutant General's Office
Washington, Jany 7th 1856
I have received and laid before the Sec- retary of War, your communications of the 23d and 26th ult. on the subject of the recent attack on Lieut. Hartsuff's exploring party, and the probable renewal of hostilities by the several Indian bands remaining in Florida.
To meet this contingency, it being impracticable to send re-inforcements of regular troops, the Department has authorized the Calling out of three independent Companies, to be disposed of in the manner sugested in your letter, or in any other way that in your judg ment will best insure the objects contemplated, and two other Companies to serve as hunters and trailers and to be associated with the regular troops in their operations. In respect to the com- position of these last two Companies, it is enjoined on you not to allow any man to be received who is not a good woodsman and familiar with the habits of Indians, and who could
State Archives of Florida: Series S777, Box 02, Folder 3
Letter from Adjutant General Samuel Cooper to Colonel John Munroe, commander of U.S. troops in South Florida, outlining the terms by which volunteer companies should be mustered into Federal service.
January 7, 1856
Between the early to mid 1800s, the United States Government would fight three wars with the Seminole population of Florida. While the Second Seminole War of 1835-1842 proved to be the largest and costliest, the Third Seminole War of 1855-1858 was the last Indian war to be fought east of the Mississippi River. It began in late 1855 when a party of soldiers led by Lieutenant George Hartsuff was attacked by Seminoles led by Billy Bowlegs (Holata Micco). The encounter was precipitated by continued white encroachment onto Seminole lands in south Florida. The subsequent war consisted of a series of minor engagements, punctuated by continued efforts to entice the few Seminoles remaining in Florida to accept removal to a reservation west of the Mississippi River. While some regular U.S. Army troops served in the conflict, it was fought largely by Florida volunteer companies. In 1858, Billy Bowlegs accepted generous financial terms to move with 163 others to the trans-Mississippi. Chief Sam Jones and perhaps 200 other Seminoles still remained in Florida, where their descendants live today.

I'm really hoping somebody with more experience can edit the question as per my examples of answers:
- using version control
- test driven development
- debugging code (xdebug for php)
- use of UML diagrams
- use of OOP for maintainable, reusable code
- use of frameworks (like Zend Framework for php) for rapid application development
Anything else or an elaboration of what I mentioned above?
Basically, I'm in the middle of forming a team of developers (I'm a developer myself) and I'd like some advice on how professional programmers/designers etc should work together and what standards/paradigms they should use.
Also, if anybody has any books or links on the subject I'd welcome that!
I did find this which I guess satisfies what I'm looking for, or at least part thereof:

|Jordan Fires Back after Syria Bullet Hits Soldier
|[An Nahar] A stray bullet fired from inside Syria maimed a Jordanian soldier on the border on Friday, prompting the kingdom's army to respond to the source of fire, an armed forces front man said.
"The border area in Tel Shehab has in the past few hours witnessed heavy fighting
... as opposed to the more usual light or desultory fighting...
between the Syrian (regime) army and the Free Syrian Army," he said in a statement carried by the state-run Petra news agency.
"Shells and bullets fell on Jordanian territory. A stray bullet hit Jordanian soldier Oday Hussein Momani in the shoulder."
Momani was taken to hospital "and now he is in good condition."
"Jordan's armed forces have been exercising self-restraint despite indiscriminate fire from unknown sources inside Syria," the front man added.
"This time, however, and in an act of self-defense, the army used a suitable response to the source of fire. The army will not hesitate in the future to take all necessary measures to defend Jordanian territory and border."

Techie Youth
Are you ready to "give" thanks by paying it forward?
You can save children's lives with technology while
dramatically reducing new cases of homelessness
Over 80% of homeless people
were formerly youths in foster care
Foster-care youth aged 18-21
"age out" of the system and are essentially abandoned to be on their own in the world without any preparation or guidance
25,000 youths "age-out" each year
most end up living on the streets or in jail, drug addicted, involved in crime...
It is never the kids' fault
nearly all of them enter foster care due to severe parental abuse or extreme neglect
Nearly 100% of aged-out youth drop out of school, have absolutely no parental or adult guidance, no life skills, no qualifications and no sustainable living arrangements.

The rise of 'secret tourism'
I'm on a bus and I have no idea where I'm going. Next to me is an equally clueless young man.
My name, by the way, is Al McCoy, and I'm a stablehand from Charmy, Pennsylvania.
That's not the full truth, but I'm going with it for tonight.
We're at the very first Secret Hotel, an extension to Secret Cinema, the London-based production that mashes art and cinema by showing punters a film in a building set up to recreate the world of that film.
Ticket holders are sent identities to play for the night, but until they arrive at the secret venue, the movie is a mystery.
And it's the same for Secret Hotel -- we have no idea where we're going to sleep, until we arrive.
Secret Hotel is just the crest of a rising tide for mystery events with themes as secret as their locations.
In fact, this particular run (of a movie I'm not allowed to disclose, as Secret Hotel is ongoing till December 2) also sees the company launch Secret Restaurant -- all I know is there's a mysterious four-course meal on offer.
"If people have no idea what they're going to experience, it makes the whole experience richer," says Secret Cinema creative director Fabien Rigall. "People want to be challenged and they're looking for an experience away from the mundane."
Audience participation required
In London, a theater production called "You Me Bum Bum Train" hinges on audience members and reviewers not revealing what goes on.
Like Secret Cinema, the audience helps create the show, and the element of surprise -- or lack of expectation -- is key to customers getting out of it what the YMBBT crew want them to.
The love of secret thrills is not confined to Great Britain.
In Hong Kong, Rachel Frost is the organizer of Secret Island Party, a private party of about 500 people on an island unreachable by public ferry.
At its launch on November 17 ticket holders took water taxis arranged by Frost, guaranteeing that even after the event, partygoers would be unable to find their way back.
She sold tickets by cycling to interested buyers and taking their cash in exchange for entry to a party whose venue she wouldn't reveal.
"It takes a certain type of person to want to come to an event like this -- trusting, adventurous and looking for something exciting," she says. "For them, the secret location is part of the fun."
Lorraine Puttick is a primary school teacher who has been to two Secret Cinema events, one of which she found so intense, she left before the film even showed.
"I do it because I like the surprise element and, if I'm honest, it's a talking point with your friends afterward, no matter whether it's been a good or a bad experience," she says.
Unpredictability guaranteed
In an age in which we have it all -- and can download whatever's missing -- something unpredictable can be the antidote to the perfectly packaged, satisfaction-guaranteed movies, shows and restaurants to which most of us are accustomed.
There's also the excitement of the "in" crew.
Melbourne guerilla foodie group Zingara is so underground that it only accepts diners with referrals, while Lolla's Secret Suppers in Singapore boasts secret chefs as well as secret venues.
In Hong Kong, underground supperclub Once Upon a Table holds monthly dinners and sells out its 15 or so places in less than a minute. Co-founder Argha Sen is a chef by night and marketer by day, but he says regular rules go out the window when you throw a secret venue into the mix.
"In marketing, the customer has to be given the right information, so he has control. We market Once Upon a Table by not giving them any control -- and seats at our table go in seconds."
Sen describes his guests as adventurous, open-minded foodies after an experience as much as the food itself.
"The guests are all food lovers from different backgrounds that you wouldn't be able to meet otherwise," says Once Upon a Table regular Karen Leung.
"And the food is amazing -- dishes are influenced by different cuisines and methods because the chefs all have full time non-cooking jobs."
Did I order this?
In London, The Pale Blue Door is a largely unadvertised restaurant that pops up twice a year in an artist's home.
Unlike food-focused supperclubs, it's very much about your experience in the space, which is divided into several tiny rooms, each meticulously created to an old world, burlesque aesthetic.
Diners book a three-course meal in one of these rooms, based on a brief summary, no pictures.
Photographer Stefan Klenke describes it as the most unconventional restaurant he's ever been to. But for the first-timer, isn't a £40 (US$64) investment in an unknown quantity a bit risky?
"The food's OK, but you totally pay for the experience," he says. "I love discovering and exploring. The point is to go somewhere that feels different from your everyday life."
Psychologist Katie Sparks says part of the thrill of the secret event is that it's a safe way of stepping outside the comfort zone.
"You're giving up a bit of your control -- and that keeps your imagination going," she says.
Whether you're traveling or just looking for the next big thing at home, the secret event is becoming known across Europe, Asia and Australia.
"There's a massive cultural shift happening," says Secret Cinema creative director Rigall. "People are looking to be shaken a bit. And they also like feeling part of something secret."
Secret Cinema will be opening in New York and Paris next year and Rigall doesn't intend to stop at hotels. "I really want to do Secret Airlines. It's taking the idea of Secret Cinema and turning it into a travel experience," he says.
Buy a ticket to a destination unknown, then board an unmarked plane. You'll be met by a man with a suitcase containing your new clothes and your new identity. When you land, you probably still won't know where you are.
If knowledge is power, you've surrendered yours to the Secret team. But then, that's where the fun begins.
Secret Hotel runs until December 2.
To book tickets to Secret Cinema:
Tickets from £33.50-43.50 (US$53.30-69); www.secretcinema.org/tickets

Hi everyone,
Today I'm launching Image Site Script, built on the same codebase that powers the new versions of AV Arcade & Wallpaper Site Script.
You can find out more about it here: http://www.avscripts.net/imagescript
The image functionality is also available in the full version of AVCMS. For now, AVCMS only costs $20 more than buying Image Site Script but includes all the functionality of AV Arcade and Wallpaper Site Script in one. Plus I hope to add more content types in the future. So it's a very good deal right now, even if you only want the image functionality at the moment!
Thanks everyone for your continued support,

A southbound Nissan Maxima was hit by on-coming traffic, specifically a Hyundai Azera, as it attempted to pass a semi-trailer on a double-yellow line. The incident occurred between Wilson Arch and Hook and Ladder north of Monticello.
Two people were killed in the Maxima, while a third fatality was in a Cadillac DTS that was hit by the Maxima after the initial collision. In total, four vehicles were involved.
Utah Highway Patrol troopers said that neither drugs nor alcohol were involved in the crash and added that the driver of the Maxima was apparently driving too aggressively. The highway has a solid yellow line for four tenths of a mile before the collision site.
Killed in the crash are Juan Vidales, age 54, of Saginaw, TX; his daughter Stephanie Vidales, age 27, of Saginaw, TX; and Arthur Loewen, age 69, of Perry, GA.
Traffic was stopped on Highway 191 for approximately one hour while emergency crews responded to the incident. A Med-evac helicopter landed on the highway as part of the response effort.
In addition to the fatalities, three additional crash victims, including a ten-year-old child, were evacuated and treated at San Juan Hospital in Monticello and St Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, CO.
Charges are still pending against the driver of the Maxima, David Lewis, age 28, of Saginaw, TX.

Marathon Maniac #3309
Nevermind I found it!
Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!
My data won't pull from RA to my FB. It's all zeros and says my email address is already being used. I deleted the application and did it again, but the same thing keeps happening. Same as Greggor. Can you unlink me or something so I can start over? Thanks much!
nice work!
i see that the PRs listed max out at marathon. any chance to have longer race PRs listed?
Eric, the FB app looks great - but 1 question.
IS it setup to display all other details (i.e. swim/bike etc...)?
Right now it's only showing my run graph/stats.
Can I get it to look identical to my RA summary page?
Eric, same question, the PRs max out at Marathon. Can the others(or all) PRs be listed.
Your Devoted Fan, Dennis
So I installed the application and I now have a nifty tab called RA log. When I click on that tab it's only a news feed of my daily runs. I was expecting to see my bar graph. When I click on "add runningahead application" it brings up my settings, where I can see my bar graph. However, when view my page from someone elses FB acct, there is no bar graph, only the news feed.
Am I missing something or is this how it is for everyone else?
Former runner
One bug(maybe) that I have uncovered. I have the FB app set to publish workouts and the notes. If I keep the notes to one line of text, the workout displays in the newsfeed with the notes just fine. If I put a carriage return in the notes field in order to have multiple lines of text, neither the workout nor the notes display in the newsfeed. It only states "Carson logged a run entry"
Great app. Thanks.
Another potential bug related to GPS import.
For some of my runs, I enter the data manually. Just today, I did an import from my GPS and those runs that I entered manually, posted on my application wall after my GPS import. They duplicates don't show in the list of workouts or in totals, only in the FB applications summary page. I did not save those GPS runs or even view them after the import. It's almost as if the imported runs were automatically posted to FB, but no where esle.
Hope that was clear.

The Human Kind Revisited
NYC Educator at NYC Educator apologized for being late with his sentiments. Dear, we may be from opposite ends of the east coast, but showing concern for someone is what matters….not the timing. Thanks. Ditto to Janet at the The Art of Getting By. I agree, life is what happens when you are making other plans.
Chance over at The Sapient Sutler left me some very appropriate lyrics from Bob Dylan. Thanks!
Dennis over at From the Trenches of Public Ed. gave me a link and expressed concern. He also confided he is facing his own parent's journey with Alzheimers. My step-grandmother had it, and currently I have an uncle who is living with it. I'm sorry…..
Ms. Cornelius over at A Shrewdness of Apes must be an absolute God-send at her school if she exhibits one-eighth the amount of caring she shows any of us when we have an emotional upheaval. She has been more than supportive by posting about my situation and even calling me a Steel Magnolia. I don't know about that, but I appreciate it.
Kontan from Kontan's Place, is someone I can always count on for support when I need it most. Thanks!
Bellezza from Never Cease to Learn, a new visitor, felt compelled to comment regarding my comments concerning Mom's Bible. Welcome, Beleeza! I can't wait to visit you, and thanks for your comments.
And finally… and apology of sorts. I want to say thank you to the person who nominated my post "July 4, 1776, An Imagi-Holiday" to the History Carnival sometime during the week of July 17th. I also want to apologize to the many, many folks who dropped by to read the post and instead were subjected to an arrogant attempt by a reader to put me in my place. My response to the person, someone who had never commented here before, explains the situation far better than I can here. You can see the post and comments here. I was unaware that the post was in the carnival and the tone of the comments just really set me off considering what I had gone through that day. In defense of the person who commented it is very possible that he linked to me through the carnival and would not have been aware of my situation. At any rate……I welcome comments, even comments that call me a terrible teacher and call me pathetic, but I do reserve the right to respond or not. :)

I'm glad you did this, because I missed your original July 4th post. I wish I'd have caught it then, because I was right in the middle of reading American Sphinx (Thomas Jefferson biography). The author of that book said that at the time, nobody thought the Declaration of Independence itself was that big a deal. They were all fired up about writing their state constitutions. In any case, I think any time you can hit people with something like your info on July 4th, it helps to make them more interested in history. And heaven knows we need all of that we can get. As far as that comment goes: Yikes! That guy must have been having one heck of a bad day, or he must have been doing some heavy sailing with Captain Morgan.
The post was wonderful, EHT. Take it from a hockey coach; even when you do a great job, there will always be some idiot out there who wants to pound his chest and say that you've done it all wrong so that he can pretend that he's the expert.

Thanks. I was just absolutely amazed at the nastiness of the comment. Many of my fellow historians out there have felt a need to correct something I've posted or been motivated enough to add additional details I may have left out due to length, but the additions have always been done in such a friendly way. This person condemned me as a poor teacher simply based on one post.

How We Started SwingingI hope this doesn't get too long for you, but let me give you some history of us. Even before we got married I knew I could never fully satisfy her sexually. I could eat her to satisfaction, but as soon as I tried to fuck her I cum within 2 or 3 strokes. Sometimes even before getting it in her. We had been living together for about three months when one night while I was at work she got drunk and let one of the guys we work with, and had a reputation of using women for his pleasure, fuck the shit out of her. She said she was sorry and I could really satisfy her with my tongue, but she likes a really good fuck too. She said she would understand if I made her move out. I asked her to marry me instead. Then when I first started to talk about a threesome she was very reluctant to even talk about it. Well it finally came out that she thought that this was just a way for me to get even and other women. So I told her I had no intentions of fucking other women, that I just wanted her to have all the sexual pleasure she desired. So with that said we set some rules to play by. How silly of me to think they would last. 1. This was for her sexual pleasures and her desires. 2. I was not to have any sexual relation with any other woman than her. 3. No kissing that was intimate and was to be reserved for us. 4. Condoms would be used for penetration because I felt that should be reserved for us. Well our first time was pretty much as we had discussed it. We met him for drinks and a "get to know each other meeting". The next meeting we met him at a motel bar. We had a couple of dinks and talked then he asked if he should get a room. Before I could speak she said "sure I'm ready". As soon as he left to get the room I asked her if she was sure she wanted to do this. Well her answer was "was I ready to see my wife fucked by another man". About that time he returned with the key and we were off to the room. As soon as we got to the room his shirt was off. As he started to help her with her clothes we could tell she was nervous. So I asked again was she sure she wanted to do this. She was sure , but I should go to the bar and get me another beer and give her a couple of minutes alone with him. When I returned back to the room with my beer I wasn't prepared for what I saw. He was naked laying back on the bed and she was naked kneeling over him sucking away on his cock. His cock was about the same size as mine. She looked up with this big smile and said get your clothes off an cum get this pussy ready for a good fuck. And laid back and spread her legs for me. Well it didn't take but a second to be naked and my head between her leg licking away. I felt him moving on the bed so when I looked up his dick was back in her mouth and she was sucking him as I licked her.

**Note: This is a very case specific question, more like Jeff's proposal for merging Developer Testing & programmers, even though I'm totally against it.
Also, this should not be confused with the "feature request" for proposals merging.
Feeling the need for merging Area51 proposal is obvious even amongst the SE team themselves, check Joel's post here. So, I'm proposing here the merger of all the agile-related proposals on Area51 into on "All-Agile" site, specially because each individual one of them isn't getting much momentum alone. Here's the agile sites list on Area51 (there are other candidates but those are the most obvious ones):

Efflorescence in brick chimneys
The white material which appears on brick is a powdery mass of minerals called efflorescence. Efflorescence occurs when moisture moves through concrete or other masonry. The moisture picks up minerals, carries them to the surface of the masonry and leaves them behind in the form of tiny crystals on the surface as the moisture evaporates. The minerals themselves do no harm. You can simply brush them away.
A small amount of efflorescence is common. But if the amount of efflorescence on your chimney is excessive it may be cause for concern. Some could be caused by rainfall soaking into the brick. But more likely—and more serious—the problem is moisture in warm air from inside the house condensing on the interior of the chimney during cold weather. Or more alarming, your flue liner is cracked or broken and moist combustion gases from your furnace and water heater are leaking out onto the cold brick and condensing. This is a bad condition that will cause rapid brick and mortar deterioration.
We recommend that you have your chimney inspected by a licensed heating contractor or by a certified chimney sweep before the heating season begins this year. Either one will tell you whether you have to install a new chimney flue or liner, or point to any other moisture source that may be causing the excessive efflorescence.
Required Tools for this Project
You don't need tools to start. You need to contact a contractor or a chimney sweep.

Meet / OW event plans and results from U.S. Masters Swmming events in this category.
taken from http://john-badassrides.blogspot.com...-to-omaha.html
There is nothing that scares me more on this earth than an expanse of water that is 8 feet wide and 50 meters long. I have had some hard-bitten dudes point firearms at me in Guatemala. I have rappelled 100s of feet down into black holes in the ground. I've ridden a mountain bike off of stuff that would give a billy goat vertigo. I am no stranger to dumb-ass nail biter stuff. Having said all that, there is nothing that weakens my knees like standing on the starting blocks at one end of a long course meters pool. I (mostly) don't do the other dumb things anymore... but I still get on those starting blocks. I still feel my stomach turn to water. Nothing is as intimidating (for me) as looking down the length of that 50m. Conversely, there ain't nothing that thrills me more....

Come together to help us build a shared Minecraft world in this Minecraft engineering session. You'll need to work as a team and co-operate with other participants to build a great city. We'll setup a shared server that all members can use and build on. We will have our server setup with land claims, this allows you to mark out a space that only you can build on (unless you grant rights to others).
We have PC's with Minecraft accounts, but we have space / power / networking for you to bring your own PC and Minecraft account.
We will also have time for a building show and tell, you can show off your world to others in the group.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) Marshawn Powell scored 17 points and BJ Young added 14 as Arkansas pulled away for a 56-33 win over Vanderbilt.
Powell, who was held scoreless in a loss at Texas A&M on Wednesday, scored the first eight points for the Razorbacks (10-5, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) on Saturday and added 6 rebounds and 6 steals.
Young added 12 of his 14 points in the second half as Arkansas bounced back from a season-worst 51-point effort in an 18-point loss against the Aggies.
Sheldon Jeter had 8 points to lead the Commodores (6-8, 0-2), who matched their season low for points and narrowly avoided setting the school mark for scoring futility. Vanderbilt committed a season-worst 26 turnovers, leading to 23 points for the Razorbacks.

Ask Dr. Vail | Be true to your self
Special to the Sun
TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. – I find that the older I get the more I want to listen to my inner voice and follow my own personal truth. However, I struggle with worrying what other people will think of me and I tend to not follow through with my goals for fear of rejection. I am tired of living in fear and want to know how to break out of this cycle and become the person I feel I am on the inside.
Signed, Ready to change
Dear Ready to Change,
Congratulations on recognizing you want more for your self and don't want to settle in order to please others. Change is difficult for most people. As a result, many people stay in their comfort zones and spend their lives wishing they had the strength to be true to themselves instead of taking action and evolving into the person they want to become. This dichotomy results in great personal stress and disappointment as people age and realize they are not being true to themselves and living their own best life.
Change is often perceived as hard or scary or dangerous. This perception results in fear and fear breeds anger. When this anger is left unchecked, it often increases and can result in toxic energy growing in the person and leaking out to infect those around them. (This is part of the projective process I have written about previously).
When this pattern gets started, the person who wants to change and grow feels scared and stuck and starts to resent those whom they believe are keeping them from growing. Then those who have been "infected" start to act out because they are feeling emotions that may not be their own. This can be viewed partly as a way to separate from those people they think are keeping them in place, and many relationships end as a result of this pattern. Sometimes it is true we outgrow people in our lives, however, more often than not, we separate from close relationships because we think the person will not like us for who we are becoming, so we push them away before they can reject us on their own.
By developing a clear view of what you want your life to look and feel like, you can start to get clear as to whether or not your life is unfolding as you want. If fear of rejection is your primary concern, try speaking your desires out loud to yourself. Develop a mantra of what want to achieve for yourself and when you are comfortable with what you are saying, confide in a close friend. You may be surprised what they want to change as well, and you may have someone to take the journey toward a better life with you.
Many of us have goals, but don't take the steps we need to because we are afraid of failing. If this is the case for you, spend some time envisioning the worst things you think could happen if you reached for your goals and they did not happen, or if you reached for your goals and you succeed. Then, begin to envision your life how it would look if you were true to your self and all of your wildest dreams and hopes did come true.
When we set our intentions on living the life we envision as if it is already ours, it become much easier to make our dream come true and live our best lives. Carpe Diem.
