I've got a lot of things to be especially thankful for this year. Yes, I went thru what to me was a horrendous time for awhile. Yes, I wasn't sure I'd make it. BUT God saw me through. I'm eternally grateful. Today, I'm appreciative.
God answered marvelous prayers for me the first part of the year:
* He worked in a "behind-the-scenes" manner on others. A breath taking answer for me!
* He answered in three sweet ways, in the event of my mother's passing:
1.) He gave her an easy passing
2.) I was able to be with her, along with my husband, when she crossed to the other side.
3.) God gave us a perfect day for her memorial/funeral day.
* Hubby and I learned one valuable lesson this summer.
* God blessed my debut novel with another Award: USA Best Books of 2015, winner
* God gave my book, Hog Insane, a wonderful promotion for three days this fall.
* God helped me prepare and edit the first novel in my new Romantic Mystery series: Sabotaged Christmas. Releasing soon!
Thank you, God. Why wouldn't I believe He will continue to answer prayer?
Blessings, Readers!

Isn't it amazing when we look back and see God's answers? Sometimes He doesn't answer as we want but we can trust Him with our past, present, and future. You are truly blessed, friend!

I did my LD48 entry, Cavern Tycoon, with Construct. I've also posted the CAP. I'd like criticism--both on the actual game and on my use of Construct. It's my first experiment with a lot of things (using "For" loops; sound), and I'd like to maybe make this into a full game with Construct some day.
Anyway, check out its page at LD. The download and CAP source are there. Post comments here, please. Thanks!

Welcome to Hyperion Records, an independent British classical label devoted to presenting high-quality recordings of music of all styles and from all periods from the twelfth century to the twenty-first.
Hyperion offers both CDs, and downloads in a number of formats. The site is also available in several languages.
Please use the dropdown buttons to set your preferred options, or use the checkbox to accept the defaults.
Here is the debut solo album from Rodolfo Richter, who, having first been trained as a modern violinist with Klaus Wusthoff and Pinchas Zuckermann, has then turned to the baroque violin, getting to perform with most of Britain's leading period ensembles. He is accompanied by the award-winning ensemble, Palladians and versatile cellist Alison McGillivray.
Born into a well-connected family in 1657 in the East Friesland town of Esenz, Erlebach obtained his first post in Thuringia in 1678 and quickly rose to the position of Kapellmeister at the court of Count Albert Anton von Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt—a post he retained for 33 years. During this time he made valuable contributions to almost every popular genre of the time—especially oratorios, of which none survive. Not only did Erlebach have a tremendous reputation as a composer, but he was also very highly regarded as a teacher and his works were often held up as models to be followed. One of J. S. Bach's pupils, Johann Casper Volger, was only one of many musicians to learn the rudiments of composition from Erlebach.
The bulk of his musical output was sacred cantatas, follwed by secular vocal works, operas and instrumental works. As was typical of a provincial Kapellmeister, most of Erlebach's music remained in manuscript. However, he did manage to publish several important collections: a collection of cantatas Gott-geheiligte Singe-Stunde (Rudolstadt, 1704), a collection of arias Harmonische Freude musicalischer Freunde (Nuremburg 1697, R/1710), as well as two collections of instrumental works, six overtures and six trio sonatas (Nuremburg) in 1693 and 1694 respectively.
Despite his emphasis on vocal music he did compose around 120 instrumental works, of these only six suites, a single march, and the six sonatas recorded here survive. Printed in Nürnberg in 1694, the original title-page reads:
VI. / SONATE / à / Violino e Viola da Gamba col suo Basso Continuo, / che si possono pratticar anche a due Violini, /essendovi à tal fine aggiunta la Parte / del Violino secondo. / Di / FILIPPO HENRICO ERLEBACH, Maestro di Capella della Sa. Eza. il Signore Conte di Schwartzburg / à Rudelstadt. / Stampate in Noriberga / Alle Spese di Guolfgango Maurizio Endter. / MDC XCIV.
While these sonatas were clearly intended for violin, viola da gamba and continuo, the title page states that the gamba can be replaced by a second violin and a separate part was originally included, complete with alterations to accommodate the violin. In earlier examples of music for violin, viola da gamba and continuo (such as Merula and even Frescobaldi) the gamba part is often a by-product of the continuo part. Such examples (and there are many more) lend weight to the notion that sonatas for this combination grew out of the two-part texture of violin and continuo with a gamba doubling the continuo part; and over time the gamba part gained more and more independence. Even contemporaries of Erlebach, such as J. P. Krieger on his 12 Sonatas for violin, viola da gamba and continuo (1693) and Buxtehude on his 7 Sonatas for violin, viola da gamba and continuo (1694), still only composed semi-independent gamba parts. In the case of Erlebach, however, the three parts are truly independent and the gamba part is indispensable.
Not every sonata in this collection is for violin, gamba and continuo per se; sonatas Terza, Quarta and Sesta each have an additional feature on the violin part, and each of these features has something of interest. In sonatas Terza and Quarta, Erlebach employs something called scordatura, that is, a deliberate mistuning of the instrument. Most commonly, the instrument is re-tuned so that the open strings sound the primary notes of the tonic key. There are many reasons for using scordatura. One reason is to add a particular kind of bright resonance that comes from using open strings, but yet another reason is to add a puzzling layer of obscurity to further contribute to the element of mystery surrounding the arts of composing and performing. Sonata Sesta utilises the violino piccolo, which, as the name implies, is a little violin that sounds an octave higher than notated.
The combination of violin, viola da gamba and continuo was extremely popular in the second half of the seventeenth century, in part because those two solo instruments were among the most popular choices for both virtuosi and amateurs of the age. Although called 'sonatas', many might recognise these pieces more as suites—an introductory movement (or two) followed by short pieces adhering to binary dance forms. This type became known by the name sonata da camera to distinguish it from the type more often associated with the church (da chiesa)—although any distinctions in terms of performance location became somewhat blurred. The sonata da camera form was particularly prevalent in Germany and central Europe, with Schmeltzer, Biber, D. Becker and J. Schenk among its better-known proponents, but still owing something to earlier Italian pioneers such as Legrenzi, Vitali and Corelli.
Already during the late seventeenth century, German composers sought to integrate Italian and French elements and 'improve' them with the German knack for counterpoint and balance. The absence of a single dominant national characteristic in these pieces makes them particularly attractive. The opening movements of sonatas Prima and Seconda being perhaps the most 'German', with their tightly-wrought imitative counterpoint unfolding a short theme; or in some cases, the opening adagio subsequently dissolves into a faster imitative section with sturdy themes featuring regular rhythmic patterns and even some rather flamboyant Italianate passagework (such as sonatas Terza, Quinta and the second movement of Sonata Prima). On the whole, the dance movements are less French in style than in similar works by some of Erlebach's contemporaries, but they still retain key characteristics. The Allemande movements, unlike the opening movements, lack much genuine imitative counterpoint, but rather the two solo parts exchange interdependent rhythmic motifs over the slower moving basso continuo, helping to achieve the equivalent of detailed decoration on a broad façade. One of the principle characteristics of the French Courante is retained; the feeling of the metre changing between triple and duple. Erlebach also uses the chordal capabilities of the gamba in the Courante movements to punctuate these perceived changes (particularly sonatas Prima and Terza). Several of the Sarabandes have a folk-like quality, with a single melodic subject often harmonised in parallel thirds; this device draws attention to the theme itself, making subsequent variations all the more engaging. The compositional device of imitation (so prevalent in the opening movements) returns again the final Gigue sections and this time even the basso continuo takes part.
Erlebach was well-aware of this conflagration of national styles, encouraging readers of his VI Ouvertures (1693) to seek out and incorporates styles 'of foreign peoples…by diligently perusing, hearing, practising and considering the things they communicate to us in respect of each art', adding that the goal ought to be to 'penetrate their strange manners and take note of their artifices and thereby justify ourselves of the same afterwards'. Nonetheless, Erlebach, like most composers of his day, put Italian art first. He even went so far as to apologise for the use of the German language in the VI Sonatas (1694), lamenting that 'the publisher presumably had to hurry the work through the press and my score, from which everything was to be corrected with precision, had arrived somewhat late in Nuremburg, some mistakes contrary to the Italian dialect slipped into the titles in which, instead of Allemande, Courante, Saraband, Variatio and Gigue, should have appeared Allamanda, Corrente, Sarabanda e Variata and Giga'.

Friends with Kids
From Entertainment Weekly comes the new poster for Friends with Kids. [Thanks to Mike Markus] That's a rather crowded dinner table. Looks like only the women are allowed to eat. All those smiling faces are in sharp contrast to the cynical set of check boxes above their heads. Is it too naive to think that all three should be possible? Will a single parent who is happy with their kids suddenly have to lose the kids or their happiness when they find love?

Versatile Bread
This recipe can be used for a variety of things. I use this as a basic starting point for garlic bread, pizza, french toast or cinnamon rolls. All you have to do is change the flavor and this bread can be used for anything you need. The dough molds perfectly into any shape and I have a special trick to help you spread the bread in no time. I will make the cinnamon roll recipe next so you can use this bread recipe and I will show you how to make the cashew filling and macadamia icing. Update: Here's the blog! Raw food is exciting!
Basic Bread
1 cup flax seed ground
1-1/4 cup almond flour/cashews ground
1 cup sunflower seeds ground
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup water add more if needed
1/4 cup coconut nectar
3 tbsp oil (grapeseed, olive, sunflower)
a pinch of sea salt
-Cinnamon french toast flavors
2 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp vanilla bean
Date Paste
5 dates
1/4 cup water
Tip: This bread is a soft bread, if you use too much water it won't hold up as well as it should. If you want a crispier bread I have found that replacing any of the dry ingredients with soaked buckwheat groats makes a crispier dough that I very much enjoy as well.
You can easily add any spice or herb you'd like, such as rosemary, garlic, basil, and onion for the pizza crust. Sometimes I even add a tomatoes instead of water to give the dough a sweeter taste. For garlic bread I normally use the same spices in the bread but when I flip it to the other side I spread a garlic sauce made of grapeseed oil, a pinch of salt, garlic, and nutritional yeast.
Now it's time to roll the dough evenly to a 1/4 in thick. This trick has helped me out so much. I went from a spoon, to a spatula, to something even better. Put a piece of plastic wrap over the dough. Get these rolling pin rings for $7.50 which comes with a variety of sizes so your dough comes out even every time. When your done rolling out your dough use a spoon or offset spatula to shape the edges, wether you make a crust for pizza or just finish the edges
Dehydrate for 1-2 hours on the first side then flip it and dehydrate the other side for 1-2 hours. (if you want an herbed bread sprinkle your seasoning before it's done dehydrating). You can cut shapes like garlic sticks, circles, squares or whatever you like!

If a location has more than one data record, the link above goes to a list of datasets available for that location. Arctic areas of the Yukon-Kuskokwim delta region of Southwest Alaska (not shown) are included in the Arctic Alaska Vegetation Tundra Map dataset.
The hierarchy of maps currently available in the atlas range in scale from plant species maps of 1x1-m plots at Toolik Lake and Imnavait Creek to maps of the entire circumpolar Arctic. Most regions have a variety of map themes available including vegetation, landforms, topography, and hydrology. Some of the maps are raster-based map products derived from satellite data and digital elevation models. Some of the maps are polygon-based geoecological maps, with many different attributes coded into a geographic information system (GIS). Various search options make the maps and associated information easy to find.
The Toolik-Arctic Geobotanical Atlas (TAGA) is a web-based multi-scale collection of geobotanical maps and related material. It includes maps at seven different scales, from 1-m2 plots to the entire Arctic. The TAGA focuses on research sites at the Toolik Field Station and Imnavait Creek, Alaska, but also covers the Kuparuk River Basin, northern Alaska, Arctic Alaska, and the Circumpolar Arctic. Diverse geobotanical themes include geology, topography landforms, surficial geomorphology, soils, and vegetation. The unique aspect of this atlas is that many of the map units have full descriptions and photos of the map units and plant species in the units. The maps and website were developed at the Alaska Geobotany Center in collaboration with several other groups at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Visit the TAGA ».

Chronicle of a Camera
The Arriflex 35 in North America, 1945-1972
Publication Year: 2013
This volume provides a history of the most consequential 35mm motion picture camera introduced in North America in the quarter century following the Second World War: the Arriflex 35. It traces the North American history of this camera from 1945 through 1972--when the first lightweight, self-blimped 35mm cameras became available.Chronicle of a Camera emphasizes theatrical film production, documenting the Arriflex's increasingly important role in expanding the range of production choices, styles, and even content of American motion pictures in this period. The book's exploration culminates most strikingly in examples found in feature films dating from the 1960s and early 1970s, including a number of films associated with what came to be known as the "Hollywood New Wave." The author shows that the Arriflex prompted important innovation in three key areas: it greatly facilitated and encouraged location shooting; it gave cinematographers new options for intensifying visual style and content; and it stimulated low-budget and independent production. Films in which the Arriflex played an absolutely central role include Bullitt, The French Connection, and, most significantly, Easy Rider. Using an Arriflex for car-mounted shots, hand-held shots, and zoom-lens shots led to greater cinematic realism and personal expression.
Published by: University Press of Mississippi
My interest in the Arriflex 35 dates from 2004, when I purchased a and the camera professionally tuned, I ended up with a fine piece and 1970s. My pleasure in using this camera, and my growing rec-ognitions of its capabilities, led directly to my interest in tracing the North American history of the Arriflex 35 from the end of the ...
A Note on Terms
1. Introduction: A Thirteen-Pound Wonder
The Arriflex 35 was the most consequential 35mm motion picture camera introduced in North America during the quarter century following the Second World War—and it also became, for filmmakers working outside the studio establishment, the most hip.1 Unveiled by the German firm Arnold & Richter at the Leipzig Trade Fair in 1937, the Arriflex...
2. Advantages of Portability: The Early Postwar Years
The unveiling of the Arriflex 35 at the 1937 Leipzig Trade Fair does not appear to have had any detectable impact on North American cinematographers or cinematography. During World War II, however, the camera's international reputation grew as a result of the high-quality wartime and combat footage taken with it by German cameramen...
3. Increasing Usefulness: The Fifties
During a European trip he took sometime around 1950, Richard Moore, later an important cinematographer and one of the founders of Panavision, managed to meet August Arnold, co-founder of Arnold & Richter. Describing himself as a Hollywood cameraman (but without..
4. Technical Innovation: The Fifties and Sixties
Arnold and Richter's pioneering design remained largely intact throughout the entire production run of the Arriflex 35, up through the manufacture of the final Arriflex IIC in 1979—a remarkable testimony to the strengths of the original conception and engineering of the camera. Additional technical development continued, however, improving...
5. A Secondary Camera of Choice: The Sixties and Early Seventies
By the start of the 1960s, the Hollywood studio system was in increasing disarray, more independent films were being shot, drive-ins were attracting ever larger audiences for low-budget and niche-market films, and television remained in need of compelling dramatic series that could be produced rapidly for weekly broadcast. Although Mitchell...
6. Shooting Low-Budget Features: The Sixties and Early Seventies
"Y'all a bunch of communists and we know what you're doin'. You're trying to start a revolution. . . . Get outta town or go to jail." This was not film dialogue but what Roger Corman remembered the sheriff of East Prairie, Missouri, telling him and his film crew when they attempted to shoot a scene in a schoolyard...
7. Mainstream Successes: The Sixties and Early Seventies
Although most Arriflex use as a principal camera for shooting dramatic features occurred on low-budget films, this was not invariably so. This chapter will accordingly examine Arriflex use as a principal camera on various mainstream projects. In this area, television led the way with the popular series I Spy, starring Robert Culp and Bill Cosby, which...
8. Conclusion: Master Shot
John Boorman's taut thriller Deliverance (1972) was made shortly before the North American release of the 35mm Arriflex BL. Shot by Vilmos Zsigmond in a remote region of the Appalachian Mountains, mostly along whitewater stretches of the Chattooga River, the film took an approach to its subject matter that required many very difficult shots...

Hi folks,
I just wanted to let you know about a PDR guy I recently used to get rid of some dents & dings that my car had accumulated over its 14 yrs, & who did a fantastic job.
There were a few minor car park dings around, but the worst things were a nasty dent on my bonnet , half way up the driver's side, right next to the 'line', which was very obvious. It was about the size of a 50p coin. Also, I had a quite deep dent on the rear wheel arch, at the front (where we usually get stone chips). He charges £60 per panel, regardless of how many dents there are in it. In a very short space of time he totally got rid of the dents on my Z3, the panels look like new, not a trace of where the dents once were. I can't begin to say how pleased I am with the result. I would totally recommend him to anyone who needs this sort of work done on their car, very professional guy, extremely high standard of work, & a really nice chap too. He does a lot of work for garages, apparently, & regularly works on the local Mercedes, Porsche, Aston Martin places, so his work is obviously top standard.
I happened to see him working on another car in the car park next to my work depot, so I went & had a chat with him & was impressed with the work he was doing that day, which is why I Asked him to have a go at my car too.
His name is Michael Toon, his company is called "Dents+", & his website is http://www.paintlessdent.co.uk phone number 07850 519545.
He usually works around the Cambridge area or thereabouts, so East Anglia. He's based in Bury St Edmunds
I hope this will be useful to someone.

Nº 3 2013 > ITU women pioneers
Interview with Julia Watt
Chief of Human Resources Management Department, ITU
Julia Watt joined ITU in September 2010 as Chief of Human Resources Management. Before that, she was Chief of Emergency Preparedness and Response, and then Chief of Recruitment and Postings in the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Prior to her Geneva postings, Ms Watt held programme management and human resources positions in the field — including in Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia and Senegal — as well as undertaking field missions, principally in Africa. She started her 22-year career in the United Nations system as a young professional officer in Dakar, Senegal, with the United Nations Development Programme. Ms Watt holds a Master of Arts in Political Sciences and Environment Studies, a Bachelor of Education, and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and French from the University of Toronto, Canada. She is a national of both Canada and Senegal, speaks English, French and Russian, and is married with three children.
What sparked your interest in human resources management?
Julia Watt: I started out working mostly on health-related projects, HIV and maternal mortality, things like that. Then I moved into refugee programme officer work. But throughout the first five to ten years of my career, I was always interested in the staffing aspects. What sparked this interest was the impact that personnel administration was having on me and my work — and on my family development, because in the process I got married and had children. So I could see the way that human resources management was making a difference in my life as a staff member and as a person.
I also felt that I had the right personality for it. People would come to me spontaneously, even though I wasn't in human resources at the time, and ask me: How do I apply for this? How do I get home leave? I was able to share my experiences with them. That was very gratifying, and it reinforced my interest in human resources management.
Then there were two human resources gurus, who were colleagues of mine in the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees — Alejandro Henning and Duncan Barclay. I admired and looked up to them, and wanted to be like them. I was absolutely thrilled when I got the opportunity to work with them. They are both retired now but are still consulting, and they have been guiding lights in my human resources quest. They really inspired me a lot.
What are the most challenging aspects of your job, especially in the male-dominated field of technology?
JW: Human resources work doesn't change, whether it is for men or women — it involves the same application of the rules and how that affects staff. The most challenging part is finding a balance between what works best for the staff member, what works best at the same time for the organization, and what works best for management — taking that triangle and bringing the corners together somehow in a win-win situation. Throughout that, there's managing expectations, managing personalities, managing conflicts. It is all extremely challenging — and satisfying when you find the right approach and a solution.
How did you juggle family life and a career?
JW: In my mind, it was never an option to quit working to raise my family. Both my mother and my father worked. Everybody in our family worked. I grew up with that and that was the way things were. We didn't take time off, except for statutory maternity leave. You just organize yourself accordingly. You put in place the necessary mechanisms — the nannies, the crèche, the family, the extended family. My husband is also with the United Nations, so that added a degree of difficulty because we were not posted in the same locations. He was in Guinea while I was in Côte d'Ivoire. Then he was in Côte d'Ivoire while I was in Dakar. He stayed in Côte d'Ivoire when I came to Geneva, and then he joined me in Geneva. We had to juggle visits, our relationship and parenting. But that was our conscious choice. It was not a compromise or something we ever regretted. We knew how it was going to be, and we managed it. We didn't have a traditional family like my parents, who have lived together for the past 52 years without spending any time apart. It certainly is nicer now that my husband is here in Geneva, and for the past 8 years, since 2005, we have lived a more or less traditional life. But that's 8 out of 19 years. So it is okay, it works.
Which was your favourite posting?
JW: All of my postings have been great, but if I really have to choose my favourite, I would have to say Côte d'Ivoire. It was very interesting for me because it was my first human resources regional position, covering all of West and Central Africa. I headed a fantastic team in a brand new decentralized regional directorate. We had great support from headquarters, but we were out in the field and we had the latitude to be innovative. So, with the authority of headquarters and regional decentralized control, we had the best of both worlds. The human resources work in itself was my first autonomous exposure, and it was just great and I really thoroughly enjoyed it.
And then the other aspect — I was there from 2000 to 2003 — we had maybe nine or ten attempted coup d'états, and before that we had elections. We had all kinds of political excitement — security, politics, refugees, militias, some ugly stuff. I am a political scientist by training, so for me watching that unfold was like watching a PhD dissertation write itself on the streets. It was a phenomenally interesting place and time.
Keeping my family safe and happy was an additional challenge — I had three children under the age of 7, and my youngest was just one and a half years old then. But we had the best three years there, in terms of family life and in terms of their schools, activities and friends. My son and daughter are still friends with kids they were at primary school with at the time.
How did you deal with it as a woman, and did you feel insecure?
JW: It didn't occur to me that there was a way to deal with it as a woman or a man. My husband wasn't there — he was in Guinea at the time — so I kind of ran the show. That was good. I didn't live an ostentatious expatriate lifestyle. My husband is from West Africa, so I felt very much at home. And I had a very good support network of friends, colleagues and household staff. My nanny from there is still with me 13 years later.
How has your previous experience prepared you for your work here at ITU?
JW: Everything that I have done in my life has prepared me. I have learnt a lot as I progressed through the various responsible jobs that I have had. Competing for my job at ITU, I was able to show that I could offer something that the Union was looking for — and I am confident that I have done so. And this is preparing me for whatever comes next in my life. It is really just a journey — a process.
How do you to maintain the confidence of ITU staff while implementing policies that they may perceive as harsh?
JW: You have to manage expectations. You have to be very clear — and explain again and again and again. You have to be extremely patient, tactful and calm. You have to speak the truth from the beginning — if you don't, people lose trust and your job becomes impossible. You have to have compassion and empathy — yet you still have to balance the needs of the organization, because after all that's what we are all here for. We are here in our own personal capacity, but we are working for an organization. That's the common driver — the common goal — for everyone.
What political scientist or philosopher has most influenced your way of seeing the world?
JW: The philosopher John Locke, who wrote "The mind is furnished with ideas by experience alone". That really rings true for me. I believe that our experience defines us, and that we in turn shape our experiences. This encourages me to continue learning and seeking out new experiences in order to shape new ideas. Because running out of ideas and innovation would be very sad indeed.
What advice would you give to a young woman starting out today to build a career similar to your own?
JW: I would say study, study and study. Today this is even more important than yesterday. Professional certification is essential, and a Master's degree is an absolute minimum. So any young woman that I come across, any interns that I talk to, any new recruits, if I see that they don't have a Master's degree, I tell them to go back to school and get one. Work a little bit, put money aside and go and get it, or do it online by correspondence, but somehow do it.
Perseverance is extremely important — I must have applied for a thousand jobs. You can't let yourself be defeated by a negative response or a thousand negative responses. You have to keep going. What else are you going to do? I would say that there is no such thing as failure in my mind. Failure only happens when you quit trying. Get lots of advice — talk to lots of people. Go to people who have succeeded, and see how they did it. Learn from the steps they took, because everyone has a different journey. My daughter is going to university next year, and I tell her to talk to everyone, her teachers, her colleagues. Everyone has something to contribute, and then you take the best from all of that and build your own path.
But don't dwell too much on the woman stuff. I would give the same advice to young men as to young women. I think women face a disadvantage to some extent, but I refuse to accept it. The more we celebrate the differences and refuse to accept the disadvantages, the more we are strengthened and can move forward with our capacities. Everybody has different capacities, and they are not gender-based as far as I am concerned.
Any final thoughts on your life in general?
JW: I have had a really great time so far, and I have been lucky in many ways. I am looking forward to the next 100 years!

If you liked Mayor Bloomberg's approach to controlling how New Yorkers eat, you are going to love what federal nutrition nannies are planning for the entire U.S. population.
The top brass of Bloomberg's food police, now top Obama administration health officials, are preparing dietary guidelines for the entire country. Despite the name, the guidelines are more than just suggestions on what to eat. A range of federal programs, from SNAP to military food allowances, are pegged to model diets based on the"guidelines."
Yet minutes from the closed-door meetings of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee reads like a wish-list for food police and environmental activists.
The architect of many of New York City's nanny-state polices, Dr. Sonia Angell, now runs the Noncommunicable Disease Unit for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC is headed up by Bloomberg's former health department chief, Dr. Thomas Frieden.
In invited testimony to the Dietary Advisory Guidelines Committee in March, Dr. Angell boasted about her work in New York City and how it should be a model for not only new guidelines, but new bans.
Angell's case in point: the City's artificial trans-fats ban in restaurants. She used the evolution of the policy to elucidate her thinking about educational campaigns recommending voluntary dietary changes (bad), versus government enforced bans on ingredients (good).
Dr. Angell explained that the City's 2005-2006 "market-based voluntary strategy" encouraging the reduction of trans-fats in restaurants was entirely ineffective, so City officials believed "we had, if not an ethical responsibility, certainly a public health responsibility to take action."
She touted the benefits of bans, which change "the entire food supply to a default that is a healthier default. It isn't about individual decision-making anymore, that's taken out of it."
Dr. Angell's ideology was a hit with the committee.
Before the testimony, committee co-chair Dr. Alice H. Lichtenstein introduced Angell as one of her "professional heroes." It's no wonder why. In addition to the trans-fat ban, Angell also planned Mayor Bloomberg's government food procurement policy which led to a ban on all food donations to City homeless shelters because bureaucrats couldn't verify that the contributions met specific nutritional standards.
Dr. Angell wasn't the only expert with whacky ideas.
Dr. Willaim Dietz, touted by the committee as "one of the most internationally esteemed obesity researchers and scholars in the field," testified, "I think the problem with the U.S. diet is how many choices we have."
The committee is using their meetings to advance ideas that go well beyond the scope of the congressionally mandated update to dietary guidelines. For instance, they've are seeking to understand how interventions used in other countries, such as Mexico's new soda tax, could "benefit Americans."
In a January meeting, committee member Dr. Miriam Nelson focused the importance of changing the food environment and addressing "sustainability" of food to make sure food has the "littlest impact on the environment."
Dr. Nelson's invited expert, Dr. Kate Clancy, a Visiting Scholar at the Center for a Livable Future at Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health, told the committee that it would be "perilous" not to take global climate change into account when dishing out dietary advice. She also advised that urban gardens are an "important" source of food.
This isn't nutrition, this is code language for environmental activism.

In The Lovely Bones, what stages of grief do each character (Susie, Jack, Abigail, Lindsey and Buckley) go through? When do these stages appear?
- print Print
- list Cite
We are limited for space, so I'm going to focus on just one or two characters. However, first lets establish that all the characters are able to travel through all 5 stages of grief by the end of the story.
The 5 stages are: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance
As is the case in real life, the characters of the story don't move from one to the other in a clear line. There is always going to be some back and forth movement. Even after acceptance, a person can travel back into depression.
Of the living characters, Jack and Lindsay experience the stages in the most developed way. Jack refuses at first to accept that Susie might be dead. When he is presented with the body part and must accept, he does so for the sake of his family. But he quickly retreats to anger. He smashes all the ships that he and Susie worked together to build. He shifts into bargaining as he finds a target for his anger in Mr. Harvey, and works with the police - harrasses the police - to get Mr. Harvey arrested. He bargains with Lindsay to find more evidence. His anger comes out again in the cornfield when he attacks who he thinks is Harvey. After ending up in the hospital, his anger slowly subsides into depression, a depression so deep that Buckley, left alone at home with his dad, feels alienated and ignored. Finally, at his heart attack, Jack starts to let Susie go and accepts a life without her.

AUSTIN, Texas -- On Wednesday, James T. Hodgkinson opened fire on members of the Republican congressional baseball team as they were practicing on a field in Alexandria, Virginia.
Hodgkinson, a Democrat, was allegedly angry at President Trump's election. Before he opened fire, he asked a senator if they were "Republican or Democrat."
KVUE spoke to two Texas representatives after the shooting who both agree the divisiveness between the parties has never been this extreme before, on both the national and state level.
"You have to ask yourself how did we get here?" said Republican Representative Larry Gonzales.
Gonzales has been walking the halls of the Capitol for 26 years, as both a staffer and a member of the House. He says this is the worst he's ever seen tensions between Republicans and Democrats.
Democrat Representative Celia Israel agrees. "Perhaps we've devolved even further since the year that Congresswoman Giffords was shot, in my opinion," said Isreal in regards to the shooting Wednesday.
When it comes to Texas political divisiveness, Israel says "I don't think that the voters want us to be fighting over God, gays and guns."
She said she is more focused on problems like transportation. An issue Gonzales agrees they must address before digging into social issues like the so-called "bathroom bill."
"When we're divided by social issues, it means we're not working together on transportation issues. That's how simple it is," said Isreal.
Gonzales agrees.
"You have to be able to get past some of those hyper-partisanship ideas and just do what's right for Texas," he said.
He also says he believes social media plays a big role in the increasing tensions between parties. Gonzales says the problems lie in how people treat each other online as well as the false information and news that is spread quickly on the internet.

Designers are perfectionists by nature with an eye for detail and an ability to visualize a desired outcome. We are also like anthropologists, interviewing clients to dissect the information we gather. How do you want your home to look? What is your lifestyle? What do you want your home to say about you? How do you want it to make you feel?
The point of hiring a decorator is to give you the perfect backdrop to then personalize your home, your way. I sometimes hear, "I don't want my home to look like a designer did it." We need to be careful and respectful of not "overdecorating." You know, those homes where everything looks so perfect. "A place for everything and everything in its place" thinking. If everything is too perfect there is a fear of looking sterile; furniture you're afraid to sit on, accessories that say do not touch.
Since our home is a reflection of who we are, our narrative should be, "What is it we want it to say to the world?" We want our home to reflect comfort and joy, create a sense of well being, and envelope us in harmony. However, life can be messy. Lives are not perfect, neat, or tidy all the time and it would be unrealistic to think our homes would not follow suit. Therefore, I embrace things being a little eschew. I build in things that might be interpreted as "slightly off." Finding the line between perfection and a little chaos is a challenge and frankly, that's where the interest in the space lies.
The Perfectly Imperfect Home by Deborah Needleman takes readers through a plethora of suggestions as to how one might really live within one's sacred but not too sacred space. The soul of the home comes from the lives that are led within its walls. Some things to think about that help create that soul, that slight mess, might be less than perfectly arranged pillows or bookshelves, meaningful travel mementos that we gather on journeys past, collections created with a curated eye, perhaps dog toys in a decorative basket, or pictures of kids framed and placed together for impact and whimsy. Everything in a room should be able to be enjoyed. Nothing too precious! I generally incorporate antiques into the interiors I design because a bit of patina relaxes even the most serious of spaces, creates an interesting juxtaposition of old and new, formal and informal. The history of a piece adds that soul. Clearly, creating relaxed rooms makes you feel relaxed!
The perfectly imperfect home is not about tucking away who we are and what we love. It's about showing it, making it look pretty, and maybe making it a little bit quirky. That is always interesting, and who doesn't want to look interesting?

BP-DuPont Venture Starts Production of Fuel to Rival Ethanol
BP Plc (BP/) and DuPont Co. (DD) announced a joint venture to retrofit an ethanol plant in Minnesota to make a successor renewable fuel, biobutanol.
Highwater Ethanol LLC (HEOL) licensed the technology from the companies' venture, Butamax, for its technology to retrofit an ethanol plant. The facility will begin the first phase of commercial production, in which corn oil will be made, in the next few months, the company said in a statement today.
"This is the next step in the road to commercialization," Paul Beckwith, the chief executive of Butamax, said in an interview.
The production of biobutanol, which is made from corn, is important because the company says it has lower greenhouse-gas emissions than corn-based ethanol and doesn't present the same kind of refining issues. Refiners such as Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) say a drop in demand for gasoline means that the country is close to hitting the so-called "blendwall" of 10 percent mandated ethanol production.
Biobutanol, because of its chemistry, can be blended into gasoline at twice that percentage without any negative impact on automobile engines, Beckwith said.

Game Chronicles (Sep 19, 2011)
If you were looking for the next out of this world action-RPG, The Baconing should be your next purchase, only costing about 15$ with its amazing characters and wacky humor I found this to be one of the better Deathspank games I have played. The graphics are great, the sound is awesome and the story is unbelievable until you have played through it yourself. With only 10 hour of gameplay I found it to be just long enough so it didn't get as repetitive as some other RPG games.
PlayStation Lifestyle (Sep 01, 2011)
The Baconing manages to stay as funny and engaging throughout the entire game. Essentially, it is the same game as the previous two, so if you had enough of the gameplay of the first two games, then The Baconing will feel like more level grinding. Anyone who decides to play through the game for the story will find that the quest system has been improved and there is significantly less backtracking. After putting in over 50 hours across all three games in the DeathSpank series, the games can feel a little like World of Warcraft with all the level grinding and loot gathering, but the story and humor of Hothead games is worth having to kill all those stoopid chickens.
4Players.de (Sep 21, 2011)
Toll, Applaus, juchhe! Das Dauergrinsen schmerzt so wie es gut tut, denn DeathSpank ulkt sich ohne Ermüdungserscheinungen durch die Science-Fiction-Idiotie - es gibt kaum eine bessere Gelegenheit, den Tag mit Gamepad in der Hand ausklingen zu lassen. Aber mal ehrlich, Jungs: Jetzt ist der Drops gelutscht! So munter DeathSpanks Mundwerk motzt, so müde wirkt er nämlich im banalen Haudrauf-Stakkato. Das umständliche Hin und Her im Rucksack muss bald Geschichte sein und in Anbetracht der entfesselten Absurdität verträgt auch die spielerische Klasse mehr Esprit als "Geh hier, hau da!". Ja, dem Anti-Spank müssen echte Spanker noch trotzen - für eine kleine Weile noch darf so viel Liebe einfach ein kleines bisschen blind machen. Danach hat's sich aber ausgeblödelt.
PSX Extreme (Sep 03, 2011)
The Baconing is a competent, fun, and mostly diverse title with plenty of kooky humor. It's a decent option for those who never played DeathSpank, and if you did play the first game, you'll probably like the similarities found in the sequel. Yeah, the weapons aren't all great, you can die quite a bit, and the repetitiveness gets irksome, but I have to say, it's still funny and it's still solid in terms of mechanics. DeathSpank is one of those likeable characters that can start to chafe over time, but come on…with that name, he's always allowed to kick ass and take names.
Digital Chumps (Sep 04, 2011)
The Baconing exposes DeathSpank's diminishing returns. It remains a solid, well built game, but Hothead Games doesn't seem to notice (or care) that they've essentially made the same game three times.
RPG Site (Jan 18, 2012)
If you're willing to push through the problems, The Baconing treats you to a wonderfully creative storybook world that feels unique in an industry drowning in copy-and-paste design ideas and too many "me, too" titles. Overall vibrant aesthetics and offbeat humor make the game incredibly likable and undeniably fun, even without Ron Gilbert's influence this time around. It seems such a shame that there's just so much hideously dull rock to dig through to get to that pristine diamond at the center.
IGN (Sep 01, 2011)
When deciding whether or not to pick up The Baconing you should consider how you felt about Thongs of Virtue. If all you want to do is play more DeathSpank, then this will certainly do the trick. For me, once was apparently enough. If you're a DeathSpank virgin and like loot-based hack 'n slash games, give The Baconing a try before you buy.
Cheat Code Central (2011)
I'm not usually angry at a developer for giving us more of the same, but The Baconing somehow manages to be less of the same. It's a DeathSpank that just isn't as enjoyable as the previous DeathSpank titles. It's tedious, unfair, and just not very much fun for any reason other than its humor. Perhaps DeathSpank has worn out its welcome. I mean, there are only so many poop jokes you can hear before they stop being funny. Still, as a personal fan of DeathSpank and DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue, I was disappointed in The Baconing. Sure, it's only $15, but I expected a bit more for my money.

I studied my sister as she listened to some music on a CD player. She had borrowed my dad's humongous pair of headphones, made to disable any surrounding sounds, other than the music itself. It was immediately apparent to me that she enjoyed the music, because she swayed her head back and forth, sometimes gently and sometimes vigorously. She tried her best to sing every single word, off key or not. She continued, until she laid down her head, and fell into a deep sleep.

We recently dug up some borage from my gramma's house. It grows pretty wild in her yard, almost like a weed. We liked it because it has pretty flowers and attracted lots of bees. Once we brought it home we learned of its many uses, mainly its mood lifting abilities. Apparently drying the flowers and making tea with them makes you happy. We could all use a little happy in our lives so plant some borage and make tea.

Fifty-seventh session of the WHO Regional Committee for the Western Pacific - 18 to 22 September 2006, Auckland, New Zealand
Auckland, New Zealand, 19 September 2006—The Regional Committee for the Western Pacific, the World Health Organization's governing body in the Region, meeting here today, offered strong support for a programme of action to achieve its target in the global goal of mortality reduction from noncommunicable diseases.
WHO has proposed a global goal for the prevention and control of chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCD) by achieving an additional 2% reduction in chronic disease death rates every year from 2005–2015. The goal focuses on an achievable level of prevention that may be targeted for individual countries depending on the current state of the epidemic.
An additional 2% reduction in chronic disease deaths every year over the next 10 years would mean 36 million lives saved worldwide by 2015.
In the Western Pacific Region, an estimated 25 000 people die every day from noncommunicable diseases, and over 20 000 of these deaths are in the Region's developing countries.
The economic impact of early death and disability, before age 60, is staggering. China, for example, is predicted to lose over US$ 550 billion from lost productivity alone between 2005 and 2015.
Last year, the Regional Committee reviewed WHO's work on this resolution, which led to a conceptual framework for action on four fronts:
Although political commitment is evident in a number of national plans, there are weaknesses in the current regional situation. They are:
The period 2006–2010 should see lessons learnt in the first six years (i.e. over 2000 to 2005 inclusive) applied to systematically scale up national responses, including the strengthening of health systems that prevent and combat noncommunicable diseases.

You can create and manage a genealogy on your own web site or on a personal computer. We are lucky to be living in the age of the Internet. Researching a genealogy has never been easier. Moreover, there are wonderful tools for creating and managing either an online or offline genealogy.
For building and managing a genealogy offline on a PC, we highly recommend the *no cost* Personal Ancestral File (PAF) software from FamilySearch. PAF is all you need to build and manage your own personal genealogy. You can also import an existing genealogy into this software. You can take advantage of the LDS Family History Centers. These centers are staffed with volunteers who will guide you in building your genealogy. You can find a center near you through the FamilySearch web site.
For an online genealogy, we at tivel.org highly recommend The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding© ("TNG"). TNG can be quickly installed and has all the administrative tools needed create and manage a serious online genealogy site. TNG also includes several well thought out templates, including the one we use at tivel.org. Although TNG is not freeware, it is well worth its small cost—and the great support is included.
If you want to install TNG on a local PC, you might want to consider WampServer, a *no cost* software solution to installing a complete web server on your PC. I have installed WampServer on my local PC and use it to develop both WordPress and TNG. It's a real advantage to be able to try out modifications to both WordPress and TNG—before uploading them to my online blog and genealogy sites.
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp — Family Search for PAF software and help with your genealogy.
http://lythgoes.net/genealogy/software.php — The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding© ("TNG").
http://www.wampserver.com/en/ — WampServer
http://www.blog.selectdigitals.com/wampserver-a-test-bed-for-wordpress/ — Although this article describes installing WampServer as a test-bed for WordPress, the installation would be very similar for TNG.

What are some transitional programs for young students with special needs?
- print Print
- list Cite
The youngest a student can be to begin transitional services is 14. The end of the transitional program comes at age 22 when the student has at least achieved a high school diploma. This is a mandate of IDEA.
Some transitional programs at the younger level are meant to extend what has been acquired through life skills learned at the elementary school level.
These life skills include cooking, cleaning, organizing, categorizing, and basic problem solving. Out of all the life skills, the most important is self-determination. Helping the student become motivated to learn is a skill to be taught to all students regardless of disability.
Academic skills are also integrated to the life skills curriculum.
Communication skills and social skills are also enforced since, as the student grows and matures, so will her circle of peers and friends.
Academic goal setting and even career planning begins slowly at the earlier stage, gearing the student to visualize a future. This also aids in the much needed self-determination skills that are the key for the student to acquire the skills being taught.
When the student turns 16 the transitional goals are geared toward more complex problem solving, high school to job skills, assistive technology application, and job-specific skill development.
Most importantly, the interest inventory where the student demonstrates motivation and seems focused is the primary factor that drives the entire process.
