This past week we had the opportunity to swing by Janell Berte's Posh Bridal Salon! We wanted to get a sneak peak at some new private label arrivals and what she has in store for 2012!
While looking at these beautiful gowns, Janell told me she was getting ready for a bridal appointment. That sounded perfect, I could capture the initial consultation process. However, to my surprise, it was also a Planned Perfection client. Bride Christina is one of our July 2012 brides, Diana will be executing her Day of Coordination. So it was a pleasant surprise to see Christina. We first met her last year as a bridesmaid at another wedding. Happy Planning Christina! We can't wait for your wedding day.

Ponderings on Thankfulness
It's so true, isn't it? We always think things will be better if. If my job wasn't so boring...if I was making more money, if it wasn't raining, if these pants just fit better, if if if if. The funny thing is that if/when those things actually happen, we realize just how silly it is to chase the "what ifs." It's like the cat chasing the ball of string...we pounce, and the ball just keeps moving ahead. We'll never get there.
What's the solution? I think the solution is what so many of us have been talking about lately. THANKFULNESS. Being thankful is our response to God in obedience to what He's told us to do...not in response to how we feel about a certain thing. We "rejoice always"...sometimes its not always an emotion but rather a response to the REALITY of how good God is. Then, He blesses us with the true, deep feeling of gratitude for Who He is and what He's done for us.
Just a continuation, I guess, of many other "bloggings" lately. As I process this stage of life I'm in. I've spent the past few months complaining about how "boring" my job is. Things have changed over the past two weeks, and I'm now totally swamped with things to do...and I'm really realizing the reality of what I've been complaining about. Boring job vs. busy job. God is good to give us what we need, and He's the one who knows it anyway. If I'm not happy in the "boring job" how will I really be happy in the "busy job"? The things I complain about right now will never go away unless I begin to be truly thankful for the TRUTH about my life. I don't want to be a complainer. He's so good, isn't He?

This is about.... Arthur Schwartz' PEACH CROSTADA---YUM!
THE ANTICIPATION HAS ALMOST BEEN UNBEARABLE, but my wait is finally over. SWEET, JUICY absolutely gorgeous YELLOW PEACHES have arrived at my farmers market. And of course I just couldn't help myself and bought way too many, Now, I have the happy dilemma of figuring out WHAT TO DO WITH ALL OF THEM? I could freeze them--I guess that's a possibility. A yummy peach pie is another, but that requires more time and energy than I can muster right now. Still, I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING SERIOUSLY PEACHY! So, rummaging around in my recipe box, I dusted off an old favorite that I actually got off a now defunct AM radio show. It was hosted by Arthur Schwartz in New York City. Every day at noon. I religiously listened to him on WOR. He was CRUSTY, OPINIONATED and didn't suffer fools well. Nevertheless he was FUN to listen to and his banter was all about delicious food. This peach crostada is his, which I scribbled down as he dictated it over the airwaves. It's way easier than pie. And IT'S ONE OF THE MOST DELICIOUS THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH A BUNCH OF PEACHES. A crunchy "crumb bun" kind of crust is topped with juicy peaches and cinnamon sugar all baked in a creamy custard. Can't believe I forgot about it. LESSONS Learned: 1. You must start with great peaches to get a delicious crostada. 2. Peeling the peaches can be time consuming. An easy fix is to put those whole peaches in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, pull them out and let them cool slightly, Then the peels will come off easily. 3. The original recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar. I cut that back by 1/4 cup because my peaches were so sweet on their own. Depending on your sweet tooth, you may want to add more. 4. Press the crumble mixture into the pan as evenly as you can. 5. Keep stored at room temperature for up to 2 days. Don't refrigerate it, as it can get soggy.
Arthur Schwartz' PEACH CROSTADA
(slightly adapted from "Soup Suppers")
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1/2 tsp salt
8 tbsp butter, cut in 1/2" dice
5-6 medium peaches, peeled and cut in quarters
1/8th teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1 cup sour cream or heavy cream
2 eggs
Make the Crostada:
Arrange the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar and salt. Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a deep 9 or 10 inch pie plate. A 9 x 13 inch baking dish works well too.
Arrange the peaches over the crust. Mix the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon together. Evenly sprinkle it over the peaches. Bake for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat together the sour cream or cream and eggs till well blended. After the crostata has baked for 15 minutes, remove it from oven, pour the egg and cream mixture over the peaches and then return it to oven for another 35-40 minutes, until the center is completely set. Serve warm or room temperature.
Makes 8-10 servings. YUM!

First you design them. I used MS Publisher, but those who are more savvy will surely prefer something more sophisticated.
Then you print them. I used black ink on red, orange, pink, green and blue cardstock. I worried the cardstock would be too thick, but it worked fine.
Then you cut them into squares. I used a fancy paper cutter, but a steady hand could get away with scissors or an Exacto knife with a straight edge.
Once you have them all in squares…
… gather a few helpers to fold them. This got a little chaotic because, as 5 to 9 year olds, their skills and knack for precision weren't exactly fine-tuned. I thought about insisting on folding them all myself so they'd be PERFECT!, but then decided the experience of letting them have a part in the wedding decorations, even if it meant some janky cootie catchers, was more important.
If you don't look too closely, they're pretty darn good! And quite fun, don't you think?
Here's what I decided to write on them:
Z(my last name)
M(his last name)
Inner flaps:
(12/11/2008 is the date of the first time we met… our first date)
(6/12/2010 is the date of our wedding)
Very inside flaps:
Take your picture at the photo booth!
Hit the buffet line again!
Talk to someone you don't know.
Check out the Unity Quilt.
Have another cupcake!
Make yourself a sundae!
Hug the bride and groom!
Write some advice for the couple.
I only made about 30 of these – since they're all the same, I didn't think we needed one for each guest. We'll just scatter these around and people can play with them as the mood strikes.
When I was making these with the kids, I also helped them make their own with their own creative prompts. They had a blast running around to the adults and each other, getting everyone to "play" their cootie catcher. I hope the adults have as much fun!

Receiving from God should not be complicated but easy, because Jesus already PAID THE PRICE. His death on the cross made it possible for us to receive forgiveness, healing, joy, peace and His love. Jesus said "Matthew 11:30 "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (New International Version, ©2010)
There are too many "formula's" being used to teach people how to receive something that God already has given through His son's death on the cross. Granted there are principles in the Word that need to be followed, but God did not complicate them. We have complicated them by interpreting the word from our own understanding and background.
I remember when I was a baby Christian and hungry for more of God. There were so many conflicting statements made during the many sermons that I heard that took me up a rabit trail instead towards God. Of course I now know, they were sermon fillers. There may even be some truth in them, but it was something someone did which had a positive outcome, and then became the formula used on everyone. We must ALL be led by the Spirit and obey what God is telling us to do.
I recently heard a preacher say three conflicting things in the space of five minutes. He said, "you have to lay down your ministry or vision in order to go to the next level", but he did not explain what that meant. Did he mean, the pastor who is pressing in to build the Church, needs to quit so as to go the the next level???
Then he said " If your ministry is not working, you need to go back to the point it was working and do what you were doing then." But what if you had a ministry like Philip. Having had successfull meetings in Jerusalem with signs and wonders etc, then being instructed to go into the desert to minister to ONE person. If he had not obeyed, the Eunuch would not have received salvation and been baptised, and returned to Ethiopia to make an impact on many lives. No sometimes God has us doing things that make it look like we are going backward. But He is in charge and must have the final say.
Not two minutes later, he said, " ... if the finances are not coming in to support your ministry then you have sin in your life" I was stunned. I know a lot of Godly men who are in very economically depressed areas and are feeling financial pressure. Then I know of men who have large ministries and have millions of dollars coming into their ministries, but later we find they have been living in sin. There are millions of stinking rich sinners all over the world.
The above three statements are clichés and not divine truth. I know a dear pastor and his wife who have poured out their lives and savings into their church, which is in an economically challenged area, who heard these three statements, and were very confused.
There are a lot of what I call "manipulation phrases" designed to put a guilt trip on people, as a form of control, and sometimes to solicit a bigger offering. It is wrong for anyone to to taint the good news with a thought that contains a half truth in order to twist someone's arm to do something. We must make sure our preaching is the pure Word of God and not some nice sounding phrasiology in an attempt to make our sermons sound great.
I once repeated a phrase I had heard a preacher say often. But when I said it, I blushed and felt greatly convicted by the Holy Spirit. I guess no one saw the blush, but I felt it like a rebuke and immediately apologized to the Lord and made a promise never to use it again.
The reason was that whilst it sounded plausible, it was not biblical. We have to guard our tongue and make sure we are speaking truth and not a fable. Of course none of us is perfect and there is no one who has not uttered some unbiblical statement. But we have to allow the teacher on the inside, the Holy Spirit to correct us.
"Father help us to be faithful to your Word and to be led by the Holy Spirit in all that we say and do. Amen"

"Coming to Terms"
"Lichen and Rock"
"What Are Friends For?"

By now just about everybody knows that Eileen Gunn finally has a book out. Like Ted Chiang, Kelly Link, and a handful of others, Gunn's output to date consists exclusively of short stories. And it seems the quality of her work is inversely proportional to the quantity. Any reader who came across an Eileen Gunn story in an anthology or a magazine immediately wanted more. Here's more at last.
Gunn's stories are funny, even laugh-out-loud funny in places, but never in the places you'd expect. And they're just as often simultaneously funny, unnerving, and strangely optimistic. There's a subtlety at work that belies the easy laugh, or the light, accessible tone. Her work reminds me of Terry Bisson's, whose outlook is basically comic but also fundamentally humane.
"Stable Strategies for Middle Management," possibly her best-known story, takes literally the notion that a job can really change a person. In this case, employees of a bioengineering firm advance their careers by having their genomes altered. The narrator is turning into an insect, leading her to, among other things, try to suck the blood out of a co-worker during a marketing meeting. Still, she's evolving characteristics that will help her succeed in business without really trying (much). Anybody who's done time in corporate America will recognize themselves in at least one of the characters (and Gunn keeps a fairly large cast busy in only about 5,000 words). Her blend of the literal and the satirical/allegorical is seamless, in what has to be one of the funniest and most truthful sf stories to come out of the late 1980s.
"Fellow Americans" is an alternate history in which Barry Goldwater was elected President in 1964. Gunn skillfully gives us alternating points of view, too, showing the world of 1991 through the eyes of the retired ex-pres who nuked Vietnam, the still-ambitious RFK, and a game-show host named Richard Nixon. None of this should work, but Gunn pulls it off beautifully. Her depiction of a Nixon who found peace in his new profession is not just funny but oddly touching, whatever your politics. "Tell all the Truth but tell it slant," Emily Dickinson advised; few alt-historians have taken her suggestion as close to heart as Gunn.
Recently I was asked by a fan of Bradbury and Clarke if I knew any stories that blew my mind like the early classics of modern sf. "Stable Strategies" and "Fellow Americans" immediately came to mind, and these two stories alone make the book worth getting.
But as they say in marketing, wait, there's more. "Computer Friendly" is a good example of showing over telling: we get to know the dystopian world through a seven-year-old girl's point of view. She's precocious but not savvy enough to understand what the reader gleans from such well-chosen details as a test question: "Why is it important for everyone to learn to obey?" Ties of affection, movingly depicted, lead the girl to explore the world's computer network, encounter avatars of pop-culture and software references, and finally arrive at an unexpected source of hope. Added bonus: Gunn's kids talk like real kids, as opposed to an adult's idea of what kids should sound like.
"The Sock Story" ponders the fate of footgear lost in the laundry, striking out in directions loopy even for a story that tackles such considerations. This short-short displays two notable Gunn characteristics: a tale that seems to come from an oral tradition, and the two faces of control: getting it and giving it up.
Order versus chaos appear again in "Coming to Terms." A daughter sorting through her estranged father's belongings starts to wonder what pattern is created by those left-behind things—especially the books with their dated handwritten annotations. And which direction does time flow, anyway? It's more a mood/slipstream piece than sf/f, drawing its strength line by line.
"Lichen and Rock" reads like a spoken folk-tale recorded by an anthropologist, but is set in a far-future pastoral. "The woods sheltered them, the water fed them, and small electronic devices told them stories." In the wake of a bloodless invasion by "the carp-eyed people," young Lichen returns from a long term at school to find her family and neighbors have undergone Bosch-like transformations, like mouths on kneecaps or fingers growing out of ears. Lichen decides her parents want reassurance that they did the right thing by sending her away. Lichen answers that question and learns to think for herself, in an ending that prescribes passionate engagement with the world, right or wrong. This evocative story is the tour de force standout of the book.
"Contact" and "What Are Friends For?" consider human-extraterrestrial interaction. Neither is truly groundbreaking, but both offer original insights and entertaining twists. The former, set on an alien planet, depicts first encounters between an anthropologist from Earth and an intelligent planetary native, one of a race of batlike creatures that have abandoned high tech because of the strain it put on their nervous systems. The native's telepathy allows for the exchange of ideas (in Russian, for once), but true understanding is not so easily achieved. In the latter story, a gang of thieves and con-artists think their lives haven't changed much since tentacle-headed aliens conquered Earth. Our narrator stumbles across the alien's master plan, decides he wants nothing to do with it, and buys a planetary reprieve by introducing the aliens to practices unique to humans. It's as if the cast of Reservoir Dogs saved the day.
"Ideologically Labile Fruit Crisp" is an essay disguised as a recipe, with notes suggesting guidelines for choosing the optional ingredients: "If you've arranged the fruit in a pattern, skip the thickener, because it will lie glutinously in a layer, like the economic benefits of tax cuts for the rich."
"Spring Conditions" is an early story written for a contest judged by Stephen King, and highly praised by the Master of Modern Horror. What is that thing bobbing beneath the surface of a frozen lake? And "was that a soft slithering in the trees to the right?" Add a dollop of guilt and the result is a brief but effective nightmare.
"Nirvana High," co-written with Leslie What, appears here for the first time. The "special" students at Kurt Cobain Magnet School are just that, with paranormal abilities like teleportation and precognition. It's still high school, though, and therefore hell for most students. A chemistry exam with life-or-death consequences proves it pays to study; a funeral for a favorite teacher turns into an unlikely celebration of life. The authors shelved this story after Columbine, but I'm glad it's seen the light of day. Its forgiving, we're-all-in-this-together outlook is something we need these days.
The last and longest story, "Green Fire," is a round-robin by Gunn, Andy Duncan, Pat Murphy, and Michael Swanwick, written as a serial for Ellen Datlow's late lamented EventHorizon.com e-zine. There's a pinch of fact in this story—Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, and L. Sprague De Camp really did work at the Naval Air Experimental Station in Philadelphia during WW2. The pinch of urban legend is the crank notion that a battleship disappeared in a teleportation experiment undertaken around that time. This being an sf story starring real-life sf writers, it begins plausibly enough, with an experiment to shield ships from radar by using Tesla coils. Dimension-hopping ensues, and our young, just-published heroes learn how to steer the device, unmask the perpetrator, return the ship safely to base, and agree they'll never discuss this with anybody. The subject matter sounds silly, but the well-drawn characterizations—especially of Asimov and of Grace Hopper, a WAVE and computer pioneer who really did exist—make this story memorable despite the jokiness. I only wish this fab four could have showed us Asimov's tour of Quetzalcoatl's undersea kingdom, but even in a round-robin you can't have everything.
The collection is rounded out by a hilarious and insightful introduction by William Gibson, a celebratory poem by Swanwick, and an appreciative and funny "Afterwards" by Howard Waldrop. There's also an anecdote by Gunn, "The Secret of Writing" according to Gibson, which every writer will appreciate.
Eileen Gunn has enough people telling her to write more, or write faster. Alt-country singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams told critics who groused about how long it took an album to come out that if you like the product, don't criticize the process. If that means another thirty years between books, it'll be worth the wait.
Tachyon Publications, 1459 18th St., #139, San Francisco, CA 94107. (415) 285-5615
P.S. Eileen Gunn edits the e-zine Infinite Matrix, which includes original articles and stories. There you'll also find links to a free posting of "Fellow Americans" and a link to IT Conversations, which features free MP3's of conversations with not only Eileen Gunn but also William Gibson, Cory Doctorow, James Patrick Kelly, and James P. Hogan, plus a tech-conference speech by David Brin that I found both entertaining and annoying. Don't miss.

Welcoming Two Way Street/
Albuquerque launches the world's newest street paper.
By Sarah Ford
Albuquerque, New Mexico is the latest city to join the international street paper movement. Two Way Street is already making an impact after launching and distributing four issues in 2017 under the guideship of Albuquerque city councilman Jeff Hertz.
Hertz came up with the idea while studying city planning at the University of New Mexico, where he performed a feasibility study on bringing a street paper to Albuquerque, interviewing everyone from potential vendors to service providers and local policymakers.
"The results were that there was definitely a lot of great interest in starting something like this," said Hertz.
He didn't have to completely reinvent the wheel; Albuquerque had hosted Two Way Street from 1990 until it went out of circulation in 1999, in part because of its aggressive stance towards the city. Hertz re-imagined the paper as an outlet for more discourse on homelessness and poverty.
"I definitely identified opportunities behind broadening the editorial focus to be about more than just homelessness," he said. "I think our editorial focus is tied to the street." That includes local policies and legislation, community policing, and events.
While support for the paper's rebirth was there, some members of city council were concerned about the impact it would have on local brick and mortar businesses. Hertz says he is hoping to eliminate that concern as vendors and those working with Two Way Street build relationships with the community and business owners.
"There's public perception, and then there's what actually happens," said Hertz. "We can have a thriving street life and have our vendors stimulate the community as well."
Two Way Street is still looking for a permanent home, hosting monthly meetings to go over updates and distribute papers. The transience has made it challenging to keep a consistent group of vendors, limiting current numbers at a small handful, but Hertz believes that as the paper spreads and becomes more well-known more vendors will join.
"Our team is going to start talking to existing providers and doing a lot of street outreach to bolster our vendor base," said Hertz. "If we can do that, I think we've got enough of a presence out there."
The paper is still selling well, distributing over 5,000 copies of the third edition. Much of that success is due to the group of volunteers who help run the paper, many of whom work as service providers in the city. Hertz hopes to one day pass off management of the paper to a small staff, allowing him to focus on his full-time position as a city councilman.
"My goal was just to do my research to help get it started. I just wanted to make this because I think there's a need for it," said Hertz. "The beauty behind [vending] is I've always seen it as a market-based strategy to address a socially embedded issue. The face-to-face interaction piece is really at the core of it. You're creating an economic opportunity for these folks, but you're also addressing public perception." ■

It's official.
I've been sucked in.
I mentioned before that I read the Twilight books and loved them. I stumbled onto the first one accidentally long before it became the huge money-maker that it is now. The Hunger Games, though, is a competely different story. I hadn't even heard a whole lot of the hooplah until I heard the movie was coming out. Guess I'm a bit behind the times. Anywho, a friend from work loaned me her copy of the first book. I started it last night at 9pm and I'm already done with it (currently 3:55pm the following day). So… that's something like 350 pages in less than 24 hours… and obviously I slept somewhere in there… and went to work… and showered… and ate breakfast… and lunch. Basically that means I read the book with the same fervor that I read the first Twilight book (like reading half a page at red lights). In fact, I liked it enough that I'm going to go to Barnes and Noble today after work to pick up the series (something I just swore in a previous post that I wouldn't do). I'd posted on my Facebook a couple of days ago that I was thinking about reading the book and lots and lots of my friends chimed in and said that it was great and blah blah. I truly remember thinking 'it can't be that good' but I was wrong. It is. If they stick to the book pretty closely (which most of the reviews I've read say that they did) then the movie should be pretty awesome. I just hope it's not super gorey. Anywho, if you haven't read it you totally should. It's worth it. Then you can become a pod person like the rest of us.

#findyourpark - NPS Love
We realize how fortunate we are to get to explore together and are thankful for getting to take advantage of America's best idea. Lots of travel time is by far one of the best perks of teacher life. Wonder how old we'll be when we make it to brochure 100?
Still on the bucket list are the Oregon/Washington/California parks, Acadia in Maine, back to Glacier, getting Matt to Alaska, and hopefully, many more. Happy 100th Birthday NPS!

Marie Claire's New Plus Size Columnist
It feels like I have been waiting for this day for forever and never have I been more excited to tell you my news. Last summer Marie Claire announced a competition to become their new plus size columnist, I toyed back and forth whether to apply and finally in the last possible week I decided to do it. Sat in front on my computer I poured my heart into my piece, a piece that I would eventually submit. A few months later, working through my emails, one popped in with the news that I had won. Beside myself with excitement and joy, a rush of emotion ran through me and right there in my office at work I sobbed. The tears were not only for me but for all the plus women that have yet to be represented in a magazine. This journey as a blogger has been so wonderful but I am so excited to get the chance to show my skills as a writer and be the first ever plus size columnist in the UK. I am both overwhelmed and excited for what is next for me and for plus size fashion. If you want to read my piece you can find it
So there you have it, you are now looking at Marie Claire's very own curve columnist, the magazine is available in stores and you can find me on page 101 I hope to do you all proud.

International Women's Day
Jacob Dornbos
Today, March 8th, is International Women's day, and we at AmCham EU want to show our support for women worldwide.
We in the business community strongly believe that women have an equal role to play in all sectors, and that society can only benefit from a more inclusive environment. In fact, many of our member companies are leading in promoting women in the workplace and society through their own initiatives.
That's why AmCham EU members decided last year to create our Gender Initiative Task Force. We want to support the European Commission's work on gender diversity in the workplace and raise awareness among our members and stakeholders. And we are not the only ones. AmChams across Europe have launched initiatives to support and highlight women in the workforce.
So keep an eye out for upcoming activities at AmCham EU and we hope to see you there!

An Arctic IMTA (Integrated MultiTrophic Aquaculture)
|4. Education
|Session Name
|4.7 Fisheries and aquaculture in the Arctic: Opportunities for research and education
|Sep 06, 2018 10:15 AM - 10:30 AM (UTC +3)
|Presentation Type
|Peter Krost
|Peter Krost (University Center of the Westfjords, Isafjördur, Iceland), Dror Angel (Recanati institute, University of Haife, Israel)
|Abstract text
There is growing interest in development of Arctic regions, related, among others, to climate change and melting ice caps which make these regions increasingly accessible. As populations in these regions grow there is a growing need for food and employment. Norway has developed a strong salmon industry and we can see similar trends in the Faroe Islands and Iceland, but it is not clear how intensive large-scale fish production will affect environmental and societal interests there.
We propose an integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) approach to reduce potential conflicts, enhance environmental responsibility, increase employment and aquaculture productivity while maintaining and increasing revenues in the arctic regions. The ecological advantage of this concept is to minimize fish farm effluents by cultivating (and marketing) extractive components (crops) which take up the nutrients released from the farmed fish (uneaten feed, excretion, faeces). The proposed species combination suitable for Nordic conditions is Arctic charr, Savellinus alpinus (fish), Iceland scallop, Chlamys islandica (bivalve) and Wingkelp, Alaria esculenta (seaweed).
An experimental system to test such an IMTA system could be established in the Westfjords of Iceland. There is considerable support for this idea from the regional Westfjords council, the University Center of the Westfjords (Isafjördur) can provide scientific support.
The application of IMTA in the arctic as well as the proposed species and their combination is novel. We will start with scallops and wingkelp. Essential elements in the sustainability of this initiative include product marketing, maintaining high water quality and the ecological value of the IMTA approach.

Will Barack Obama provide a way out of Afghanistan? Perhaps. But I'm not optimistic. The new U.S. president talks about the importance of diplomacy and development. However, his actions so far have focused on extending the war.
Obama is continuing the policy, started by his predecessor George W. Bush, of bombing suspected Taliban hideouts in Pakistan. As well, the U.S. has sent about 70 military "advisers" into that country.
We shouldn't be surprised. When he was campaigning for the presidency, Obama promised to vigorously pursue the Taliban into their Pakistani sanctuaries. At the time, he was criticized as naive. The smart money said he'd never follow through. Apparently, the smart money was wrong.
In fact, Obama's Afghan strategy seems remarkably similar to that of Bush. Bush, too, embraced the so-called three D's, defence, development and diplomacy, all of which have been U.S. and NATO orthodoxy since 2003.
It's true that in the early years of the war Bush focused solely on force of arms. As then defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld famously noted, America wasn't in the business of nation-building.
But by 2003, that began to change. As the Taliban regrouped, the U.S. realized that it was caught in a full-scale insurgency that required a more sophisticated response.
That in turn led to the development of so-called provincial reconstruction teams, military-led operations aimed at providing both security and development to Afghan villagers. It also led the U.S. to have NATO allies like Canada take on a larger role.
Ordinary NATO troops would provide on-the-ground security for Afghan villagers; commando units would locate suspected Taliban militants; air power would kill them.
That was Bush's strategy. And it was the strategy pursued by the man he chose to replace Rumsfeld, Robert Gates. Given that Obama has kept Gates on as defence secretary, this appears to be the new president's strategy as well.
The key difference is that Obama plans to operate on a larger scale. He is sending 17,000 additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan. He will almost certainly send more.
The problem with the Bush-Rumsfeld-Gates strategy was that it didn't work. Too often, the commandos shot up the wrong compounds. Too often, the airplanes bombed the wrong buildings.
The U.S. and NATO won all the military engagements and lost all the political ones.
On the ground, foreign troops had to spend too much time defending themselves from attack to encourage development.
Over the years, as casualties mounted, NATO countries like Canada switched from battling the Taliban to training Afghans to battle the Taliban.
That hasn't worked either. Obama now plans to arm tribal militias to do the job.
On the diplomatic front, American officials are finally talking to all neighbouring countries, including Iran. But there is no indication that the new administration wants to encourage serious talks with the Taliban. Indeed, Obama seems to be disowning Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who has tried such negotiations.
Obama is to formally lay out his full Afghan strategy next month. But his actions to date give a good idea of what it will be: more money; more troops; a wider war.
Shades of Vietnam. Shades too of Lyndon Johnson, the U.S. president whose decision to send in the Marines turned that so-called brush-fire war into an all-out conflagration.

As we all know, we live in a very non-vegan world. Animal exploitation occurs in all walks of life, and the use of animal "products" is normalised to a great extent in most societies. The commodification of the bodies of nonhuman animals is, sadly, rampant on a global scale. On the one hand, this makes it difficult to approach theContinue reading

Course information for organisers
This course has been designed to meet the growing CPD needs of more experienced clinicians who want to expand their knowledge of both benign and serious, mechanical and non-mechanical, spinal and non-spinal causes of spinal and radiating symptoms
Why not organise a course locally with the additional benefits of locality and no travel or accommodation expenses. You will also generate income which can be used as you deem appropriate, e.g. providing free or reduced cost places for local staff/colleagues.
Who's it for?
This course is designed for more experienced and clinical specialist physiotherapists.
What's it for?
The objective of this course is to provide an evidence based approach to the diagnosis and management of less common and uncommon/rare causes of spinal and radiating symptoms.
How will it achieve this?
- Numerous pathologies will be discussed including the diagnostic accuracy of assessment and diagnostic procedures used in musculoskeletal medicine.
- The course will also provide an evidence based approach to the use of investigative procedures and the provision of evidence based advice for patients with regard to management and prognosis of the specific conditions presented.
- Case studies will be used to illustrate some specific pathologies.
- Practical aspects of diagnostic tests will be discussed, demonstrated and practised as determined by the needs of the participants.

|SHE SHOULD PULL A DICK CHENEY: He might be surrounded with national advisors and old GOP party handlers these days, but Mitt knows to rely on tried and true locals for the really important business. And this is extremely important given the recent string of VP picks- '00: Cheney picks himself vs. He's not even a Democrat anymore, '04: Dick's still alive and on the ticket vs. maybe you should have vetted Edwards a bit, '08: Hey, Joe! vs. You have got to be kidding me.
DOWN TO BUSINESS: But beyond the calm of school vacation lies the storm of Budget Week. Chairman Dempsey's hometown paper has his back, supporting the Speaker's no new taxes pledge and trashing the governor's plans to balance the budget with taxes on cigarettes, candy soda and other fun things.
L-TOWN: Let's visit Lowell for a minute. The congressional race between maybe-sorta-still-vulnerable incumbent Niki Tsongas and Republican Jon Golnick seems one-sided as far as fund raising is concerned but Golnick is maintaining support here and there.
Also up that away: Jajuga says no to his old seat in the Senate and Lowell Cambodians love Elizabeth Warren.

Photographer's Journal
My friend, have a seat, grab a cozy cup of tea, & stay a while!
Two Reasons to do Paris in the Winter
1. To Avoid the Crowds
Over 2 million people live in Paris. Let's not count the university students! Tourists out number the Parisians by far. In 2015, there were 47 million tourists who graced the streets of Paris but other sources say 76 million. Isn't that a huge difference?! Anyways, in a city that is 33.5 square miles, millions are a big crowd. (sources here or there) But let me tell you, in the winter, Paris is as pleasant and clean as it will ever get. No lines, no crowds, no trouble.
2. For Good Deals
Think discounted rates for hotels and apartments. Think about half priced airplane tickets. That's what you will find for the winter. Travel and accommodations are the biggest expenses and you can save thousands by traveling in the winter. Now, let's talk about shopping. January and February are the months with the big sales in Paris. You'll see "Black Friday" deals of 70% off and 80% off. It's amazing. Just take a walk down the Champs Elysées and have fun!
I will post more Paris blogs soon!
Leave me some thoughts or questions in the comments :)
Hey there!

Creating raster pyramid – recommended output format
Raster loader conversion output can be set to lossless PNG or lossy JPG.
- JPG – is designed for compressing either full-color or gray-scale images of natural, real-world scenes. It is best suited for continuous tone images like photographs – not so well on sharp-edged or flat-color art like lettering, simple cartoons, or line drawings. JPG is designed to exploit certain properties of our eyes, namely, that we are more sensitive to slow changes of brightness and color than we are to rapid changes over a short distance.
- PNG – is lossless compression method, well suited for images containg areas of even colour or sharp-edged geometries. It is designed for image data typically dominated by hard, high-contrast transitions, and regular structures (without noise).
To gain best final effect and get optimum raster pyramid from your input raster images take a look at following recommendation:
- scanned vector maps (true colour or shades of grey) – inappropriate for PNG, recommended conversion to JPG format. It is characterised by uneven background colour.
- scanned vector maps (monochromatic) – suitable for PNG format – the background areas should be uniform in colour (preferably white) while all the drawings should be just black lines.
- rendered vector maps (most often Ordnance Survey raster maps) – suitable for PNG format
- aerial imagery – recommended conversion to JPG format

I was never particularly athletic, but had always admired those who were. I went through various exercise phases throughout my life where I would join a gym, go for a couple of months and then stop going for months at a time. About four years ago, I was trying to get back into one of my "on" phases and signed up for one of those introductory training sessions at the gym hoping it would give me the jump start that I needed. Unfortunately, the first session was a disaster. The trainer began my workout and by about 15 minutes into it I began to feel dizzy and nauseous. I informed him that I needed a minute and that I felt like I might throw up. He told me that he didn't consider a training session a success unless the client felt like vomiting! At that point, I went to the ladies room to wait for the nausea to pass, and when I came out the trainer was nowhere to be found. I have to say that I was pretty taken aback that there was no concern on his part as to whether or not I was okay. It was almost as if his goal was to make me not want to work out ever again as opposed to motivating me to make exercise a part of my lifestyle. Needless to say, I was not very excited about the prospect of scheduling my next session.
About a week later, as I aimlessly wandered around the gym, eying the machine circuit and trying to figure out what to do, I was approached by a trainer on the floor who asked me if I needed help. He told me that his name was Sean and he proceeded to assist me through a workout circuit and then asked me if I wanted to do some Abdominal exercises. He was extremely helpful and I felt like I had actually gotten a great work out. The best part was, I didn't feel sick—I felt great!
After that, I purchased a training package with Sean. By the end of the 12 weeks, the progress was so incredible that I couldn't imagine stopping. That was four years ago and I have trained with Sean every week since. He pushes me, which I desperately need, but somehow he understands my limits better than I do and is able to get me out of my comfort zone. The progress has been amazing. At age 47, I feel stronger than I ever have. I went from not being able to do a single push up, to doing three sets of 15.
As someone who works long hours, the steady exercise has benefited me in so many ways. I had struggled with back pain and sometimes knee pain, and Sean helped me strengthen my legs and my core to a point where I never feel those pains anymore. Last summer, I went to surfing camp! That is something that I would have never had the confidence to do before.
I feel so lucky that Sean discovered me that day. He has helped make me healthier, happier, and a better person.
Thank you Sean!

Risk Reduction for Alzheimer's
At Elite Medicine Clinics DFW, we want you to learn more about Alzheimer's Disease as well as steps that you can take to reduce your risk. Our specialists provide thorough and compassionate medical care for those at risk for or diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease.
What is Alzheimer's?
Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia and is classified as a disease. Dementia is an umbrella term for symptoms that affect memory, communication, and/or the ability to do daily activities. Alzheimer's negatively impacts memory and cognitive abilities. Although it is slow, the disease does progress and unfortunately no cure has been found.
What we know about Alzheimer's
While Alzheimer's Disease research continues in an effort to improve our understanding of the disease, it remains difficult to accurately diagnose Alzheimer's Disease while the patient is alive. However, specialists have fairly high rates of accuracy in diagnosing patients with Alzheimer's Disease. The risk for Alzheimer's Diseases increases as you age, but it is not considered part of the normal aging cycle.
If you or someone you love has Alzheimer's Disease, it means there is damage caused by plaque deposits in the brain. This causes lost connections between cells and that inhibits regular brain function. Unfortunately, damage can occur years before any of the typical Alzheimer's Disease symptoms are recognized. Life expectancy for those with Alzheimer's Disease varies.
Symptoms of Alzheimer's
General symptoms of both Alzheimer's and dementia include:
- Decreased cognitive ability
- Impairments to memory
- Impairments to communication
Symptoms more specific to Alzheimer's include:
- Difficulty recalling specific events or discussions
- Depression
- Apathetic attitude
- Disorientation
- Confusion
- Behavioral changes
- Impairments to decision-making
In later stages of Alzheimer's, some may experience increased difficulty with basic functions of walking, speaking, or swallowing.
Treatment of Alzheimer's
At Elite Medicine Clinics DFW, we recommend medications to treat the symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease. These medicines could be used to treat:
- Behavioral changes
- Memory loss
- Changes in sleep patterns
- Depression
There is some evidence that coconut and fish oils may be helpful alternative remedies for healthy brain function.
A recent study has identified the following lifestyle patterns that influence the likelihood of Alzheimer's Disease:
- Childhood education.Well-educated populations had lower rates of dementia. Starting the education earlier is beneficial.
- Midlife hearing loss. The brain damage combined with the lack of engagement in conversation seem to be negatively contributing to the risk of Alzheimer's.
- Diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure. Treating these conditions can help reduce the risks of Alzheimer's.
- Smoking. Doctors recommended that anyone who smokes stops smoking immediately because the chemicals cause brain damage.
- Depression. If depression occurs late in life, it could be a result of dementia. Medicine may prevent the brain plaque from forming too quickly.
- Being socially isolated. Isolation has been linked to high blood pressure, depression, and heart disease, all of which could influence the occurrence of dementia.
- Sedentary lifestyle. Exercise has many benefits including improved mood, decreased fall risk, and overall good health. The more active you are, especially as you age, the risk for Alzheimer's can decrease.
Based on these findings, the study recommends lifestyle adjustments to help avoid or deter the risk of Alzheimer's Disease.
The specialists at Elite Medicine Clinics DFW encourage you to make positive healthy changes right away and we can help you with exercise and diet plans as well as medical and health follow ups
If you or your loved one wants to learn more about preventing or treating Alzheimer's Disease, please contact us to schedule an appointment with one of our specialists.

Section 11-80. Prior voter approval of any City built, funded and financed stadium and event center.The petition committee, headed by Anita Miller, wife of City Councilor Joel Miller, will need to collect roughly 12,000 to 14,000 signatures, City Clerk Sarah Johnson says. She says she'll get an exact figure from the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder's Office within a few days.
Shall Article XI of the Charter of the City of Colorado Springs be amended by adding a new section to provide that the City of Colorado Springs is prohibited from building, funding, or financing any stadium and event center without prior voter approval and mandating public disclosure of various cost estimates at least 60 days prior to voters' consideration of any stadium and event center proposal?
Independent research on redevelopment in California – more broadly referred to as "tax increment financing" (TIF) in other states – is limited. Studies find mixed results as to whether TIF boosts property values and results in increased property tax revenues. However, the most comprehensive independent study of California RDAs [redevelopment agencies], conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California, found that redevelopment activities in most RDAs studied failed to generate enough growth in property values to account for the tax increment revenues they received. A small body of academic literature also examines the extent to which TIF projects boost economic activity, and some of this research finds evidence that TIF projects simply shift economic activity within municipalities rather than creating additional economic activity. For example, one study suggests that when employment increases in TIF project areas, it decreases in other parts of the city, which could mean that TIF projects draw jobs from elsewhere in the city, rather than generating net new jobs.California no longer allows TIF financing, due to economic drains they posed for government coffers.
