Focus on a Single Process
By Mark Inboden
Last week, my management team and I had our annual UCEC Planning Retreat. As we did last year, we had it off-site to limit interruptions, and engaged Blair Koch, my TAB advisor, as the facilitator of the meeting and to capture key ideas and initiatives for the coming year.
One exercise of significance was that each manager was asked to present their current workflow, and then a proposed workflow for their respective areas. In looking at the charts and diagrams that were presented, it became evident that we have a lot of steps in getting things done.
Part of going through this exercise was to improve processes and production time. The more we looked at these diagrams, the more it became clear as to what each area needed to do: Focus on a Single Process. Let me explain. In looking at the workflows, people were trying to reduce the number of steps that tasks were taking, thinking this would reduce production time. In most instances, some of the steps that were being cut were really a necessary component for another area to successfully complete their job. After several go rounds, it became evident that it is better to Focus on a Single Process for improvement, rather than completely reworking your area.
Once a process is improved for your customer, then look at the next one. Wholesale changes often bring anxiety, frustration and negative consequences for your employees, and thus your customers. Focus on a Single Process allows the area to implement change, garner feedback and make adjustments that really do improve that one process for your customer and your team.

Since quite a while now, a vast labyrinth made of stone exists in the Blanco Valley, constructed by its true first explorers.
A few monts ago I was reading something about the surviving examples of a fabulous aircraft from WWII, the F4U Corsair. Many different military forces from across the world used it even after the war, and both the Argentine and French navies were the ones that used its most advanced and sophisticaded version right into the fifties. The planes is highly regarded among collectors and prices soar into the millions for each flyable Corsair.
As one of its last institutional uses, in Argentina there are several of them in fairly good condition and millionaires from the U.S. tried several times to purchase these F4-U-Es that otherwise are unavailable even in the United States. I don´t remember if it was in Wikipedia or in some Corsair fan website I foun a mention to one that has been fuully restored and even flew at the Oshkosh air show
It stated that it was found in Argentina "In a pole, in a park"; I am myself a pilot and know the scene, and I also positiveli know that each time someone with money from abroad comes into Argentina and buys some rusting carcass to retore it, people start screaming and crying about the robbery of national heritage, sovereignity, etc, etc.
I believe this statement describes exceedingly well what happens where I live: There are nice things to find, but no one seems to care about them until someone else comes and actually does something
then, the envious and incompetent cry out.
That is exactly what happened to my in realtion to a documentary that the research group to which I belong and direct helped to create: "Taming The Blanco" was filmed on location at a very secluded, uncharted and inexplored valley in Patagonia. We have lots of documentation to prove that (see the links on this page), but after it came out, the same kind of morons that usually do the sovereignity-national-heritage-stolen chat began doing the only thing that they know: whining and diffamating.
Needless to say, if you say that someone does some fake you have to prove that and os far, no one has ever put forward anything resemblig proof of that, and as we say elsewhere, you only have to look at any map of th regio or even Google Earth to confirm what we state: No one is there, except us. However, in order to further our point of view about the "moronity" of those doing the talk, we have decided to uncover a secret that we have been keeping for a while now: We have been building a fairly big stone labyrinth or maze inside the Blanco Valley. The fact that no one ever spoke about this before, considering that "Patagoniafake" (the user ID of one of our detractors) has even said that the valley is populated by settlers rpoves the contrary: Nobody would miss such a large structure erected in his own yard... So their silence proves us right, again.
Look at how many different stone labyrinths you will find in Google for example; nobody can say that they are so common that a new one would pass inadvertendly in this world, and nobody would tolerate, certainly, that a group of people comes and starts to buid something like that in your own private land if someone owned it, or if someone was there. And oh! Our pictures were not taken at Doinyo Lengai, Kolombanagara o Godthab; you just have to observe the vegetation, and if you know something about plants you will see that this is Patagonia, 100%; and it is not just any part of Patagonia... We can prove that the thing lies within the Blanco... by taking you there if you want.
Then consider this: There has been no report of any stone labyrinth found in the Blanco Valley prior to 2007... that is, up to the moment of publication of this very article. Again, it would be hard to miss a full-scale stone labyrinth, provingo once more that nobody was there these years, or is there now. Maybe some people walk around the valley, or they stay in the only section that has a trail in it, but you can rest assured that no one except us goes where things like this labyrinth is.
Thorough this page and the links contained herein you will find more information about the stone labyrinth of the Blanco. We have been on this project for almost ten years now; we decided to build it one day that we had no special or pressing appointments up there in the Andes, and ever since then, the thing continues to grow. Make your own conclusions.

From my newest favourite book, Travels with Herodotus.by the late Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuscinkski.
"...Herodotus was the contemporary of the greatest Greek tragedians -- Aeschylus, Sophocles... and Euripides. His times were the golden age of theatre (as well as much else) and stage art in those days was influenced by mysteries, folk rituals, national festivals, religious services, Dionysian rites. This affected how Greeks wrote, how Herodotus wrote. He explains the fortunes of the world through the fortunes of individuals. The pages of his book, whose goal is the recording of human history, are full of flesh and blood people, specific human beings with specific names who are either powerful or weak, kind or cruel, triumphant or despondent. Under different appellations and in different contexts are Antigones, Medeas, Cassandras and the servants of Clytemnestra, the Ghost of Darius and the lance-bearing knights of Aegisthus. Myths blend with reality, legends with facts. Herodotus tries to separate one from the other, without neglecting either or presuming to establish hierarchy. He knows to what great degree a man's way of thinking and his decision-making are determined by an inner realm of spirits, dreams, anxieties and premonitions. He understands that the phantom which the King sees in his sleep can decide the fate of his nation and millions of his subjects. He knows how weak a human being is, how defenseless he is in the face of the terrors born of his own imagination."

Jiney and Stephen were a dream come true! They were so sweet, organized, creative, and cared SO MUCH about their guests. Their magical wedding day took place at The Historic Post Office in Hampton, VA. I was thrilled to work at this new venue, but even more thrilled to work with a couple who would move mountains to make sure their guests had a good time. Not to mention, they love Harry Potter just as much as I do!
I wouldn't call this a strictly Harry Potter wedding, but small nods to the famous series were just enough to make me smile throughout the day. Jiney is Korean, so she also included a few important details as a way to honor her culture. After the ceremony, she changed from her lacy Allure gown to a stunning, traditional Korean hanbok. Some other highlights include a nitro ice cream bar, with frozen butterbeer (!!), a smoke exit, and the most beautiful twinkle lights.
This was such an enjoyable day for all and I won't soon forget it! Thank you, Caitlin Gerres Photography for capturing the day! Full vendor list below.

Golden Eagles Festival - MONGOLIA
Altai Region, Mongolia
Racing through the mountain range on horseback, the Kazakh people of the Altai Region in Western Mongolia practise their ancient tradition of hunting with golden eagles. Only around 70 Kazakh eagle hunters take part in the annual Golden Eagle festival and the following set of images display the 4,000-year-old art in all of its glory.
The Golden Eagle festival sees golden eagles soaring through the air at speeds of up to 200mph as well as horse racing, archery and Bushkashi, which is a goatskin tug of war on horseback.
It takes the hunters around five years to finish their training.During this period the eagle must be treated with respect and gentleness or it might fly away and never come back. The trainer constantly sings and speaks to his bird to imprint his voice in its memory.The hunter does not keep the eagle with him forever. After years of service, the eagle is released into the wild.
During my stay with eagle hunters, I felt great respect for the way they care and treat the eagle like a child. They have an extraordinary bond with the bird and it is very hard for them to let the eagle go back into the wild.

Ferdinand, who will be 31 on Saturday, has been ruled out of United's Champions League fixture at home to CSKA Moscow on Tuesday with the calf problem that forced him to miss last Saturday's victory over Blackburn.
His defensive partner Nemanja Vidic is struggling with a similar injury and will also miss the CSKA clash but Ferguson suggested he should be OK for the visit to Stamford Bridge.
The England defender's error-ridden performances have prompted criticism of late and Ferguson himself admitted last month that Ferdinand needed to rediscover his form to be sure of a place in England's World Cup squad. However the United manager insists that he has no fears for the £30 million defender's future.
With the player clearly compromised by a lack of full match fitness in recent games Ferguson concedes that the time has come for Ferdinand to be given time to banish his injury problems once and for all.
Ferguson said: "Calf injuries can be troublesome and, if you don't give them their proper treatment, you can end up the way we are just now with players playing games when they are not 100 per cent fit. We want them to be 100 per cent fit."
Ferguson said it was "difficult to say" about Ferdinand's prospects for the Chelsea game. "We are very fortunate to have two players like Wes Brown and Jonny Evans, though. When we bring Wes in, there is no better defender in the country. I have no worries about facing Chelsea on Sunday in terms of Brown and Evans."
Ferguson is, however, confident that Ferdinand will soon emerge from his difficult period. Ferguson said: "In my time here, we've always had situations where one of the star players hits a little blip and he is going to get criticism. That's all part of being a player at Manchester United and we are all aware of that.
"No player likes to be criticised. They like to be loved and have arms around their shoulders at times, but Rio will come out of it, there is no question about that. There is no discernible depreciation in his qualities, none at all. Playing with injuries is not the easiest thing to do, we will try to get that right."
Ferguson will restore Darren Fletcher to the starting line-up to face CSKA following a recent groin injury and the manager admits that the midfielder's return is timely. He said: "Most people now recognise Darren as a big-game player. He has been missed in some key games recently."
Wayne Rooney will be considered for a starting role on Tuesday night following the birth yesterday of his son Kai. With Dimitar Berbatov nursing a knock on the knee, plans to rest Rooney ahead of Sunday's trip Chelsea could be shelved if the Bulgarian fails to prove his fitness.

I was surprised at the negative response this woman received. Personally, I cringe when I see people cringing at pregnant women doing CrossFit or any other kind of workout. Before I begin, let me say I don't think in order to understand pregnancy and childbirth, you have to be a mom. Some pregnant women stay fit by keeping up with CrossFit and weightlifting. Others find yoga and lower intensity exercise to be more beneficial.

Three GCS Board of Education candidates up for vote on May 16
Dan McClelland
Three GCS Board of Education candidates up for vote on May 16
by Jessyca Cardinell
There are three enthusiastic candidates this year for the Gouverneur Central School Board of Education Election to be held on May 16. Be sure to take a moment of your time to get out and vote.
David Fenlong
David Fenlong, who attended and graduated from Gouverneur Central School, has been very active in the community and has had a twenty-five-year career as the customer experience manager for the drug store division of KPH Healthcare Services.
He and his wife Susan have two Middle School sons, Griffin in seventh grade and Ethan in sixth grade.
As Mr. Fenlong's three-year term on the Board of Education is coming to a close, he has chosen to run for election once again. Mr. Fenlong took a moment to reflect on his experience of being on the school board.
"Being on the school board the last three years has been rewarding," he said. "I feel active and involved in a community that needs volunteers. I get amazed at the depth and breadth of the teaching and learning occurring in our public school today. At the end of the day students are smarter, more sophisticated and better prepared for tomorrow than ever before. This makes an impact in the community we serve and why I ran in the first place.
"Even with tight budgets and situations beyond our regional control, we are still able to work together to meet the district's needs. Everyone has a common goal that is centered on the success of our students. There will always be work to do and tough decisions to get there. We just need to remain student-focused."
When it comes to running for school board again, Mr. Fenlong said the following: "I enjoy being part of the change that can positively affect a child, but most of my motivation is seeing our students and staff succeed and providing reassurance and support toward that success.
"The district is reaching new heights and with all of the achievements, I believe their best days lie ahead. I want to be a part of accomplishing those goals. I definitely want to see the capital project finish and see the positive effects of the vision that went into it.
"I also want to remain a conduit for our education community to be sure information is flowing out to public and back to the school to create an open communication line for everyone.
"Public education is about caring, teaching and promoting education for all students. I intend to ensure we stay focused on those goals. I am proud to be a member of a group of dedicated volunteers."
Mr. Fenlong was able to share a story of how being on the Board of Education has positively affected him, as well as others.
"There is always something, a story or memory that remains with me from my Board of Education experiences so far," Mr. Fenlong said. "There truly are many. The one that sticks out the most is the rewarding smile. The smiles from the students, the teachers, administration or a parent as you witness their experiences from another angle.
"But I will have to say when I volunteered to read to an unknown group of fifth graders for an hour I was truly moved. Though difficult, I wanted to make an impact.
"A couple of weeks later I was at the school for the spring musical and as I was sitting down with my family, I heard a voice say, "Hi Mr. Fenlong." A little voice. I don't hear this that often. I looked around and it was said again, a waving hand and smile joined in and I recognized the student from that day I read to the group of fifth graders. I smiled and graciously acknowledged him. He remembered me and I made an impact. It was all worth it."
Roland Roderick
Roland Roderick is a very involved community member, parent and has been active in the military for the last 19 years, currently stationed at Fort Drum. He has been interested in being on the Board of Education, and is currently in the running.
"I would like to serve on the Gouverneur Central Board of Education because as a member of this community and a parent I have a vested interest in the success of our school district," Mr. Roderick said. "I want my child and all of the children of GCSD to be able to get the highest quality education possible. I would like to maintain a good relationship between the Board and the community especially with all of the ongoing building projects taking place within the district."
Mr. Roderick, originally from Maine, has been married to wife Bridget for 13 years and the pair, along with daughter Hannah, age 9, have resided in Gouverneur for the last nine years.
Mr. Roderick plans to retire from the military in June of 2018 and the family plans to continue to live in Gouverneur, of which Bridget is a native.
Mr. Roderick is a member of the First United Methodist Church in Gouverneur, a lifetime member of the VFW in Gouverneur and a member of the American Legion Post in Maine.
The family enjoys sports and activities. Mr. Roderick serves in the summer as AYSO soccer coach. His daughter Hannah enjoys gymnastics, cheerleading, karate and AYSO soccer. They also enjoy traveling and visiting Maine, as well as the outdoors in general.
James Delity
James Delity, who was active in the United States Army for 24 years as a Chief Warrant Officer Five, is now retired and currently residing in Gouverneur with his family, including wife Heather, the Middle School STEM teacher at Gouverneur Central.
Mr. Delity currently works as a Training Center Manager on Fort Drum.
"I enjoy serving in volunteer and community roles," said Mr. Delity.
Mr. Delity is currently the President of the Board for Fowler Baptist Church and volunteers ten to fifteen hours a week at the Fort Drum USO.
The pair have two sons, Stefan, a freshman at Gouverneur High School, and Evan, a recent graduate of Baylor University with a Masters of Divinity and is currently serving as a pastor in Temple Texas.
"Both of my sons have very different interests, strengths and weaknesses, but both have shared a desire for the best education that could possibly for the best education that could be provided to them," Mr. Delity said. "They inspire me to participate in any way I can to improve their educational opportunities, as well as the opportunities of all the students of Gouverneur.
"I believe that serving on the Gouverneur Central School Board is the greatest way to accomplish this goal. I believe that it is an investment into the future of Gouverneur and its students.
"As part of a military family, our sons have attended schools in several states and overseas. While that presented wonderful opportunities for our sons, what our family missed was a lasting community in which to join. My wife and I are very happy to get to settle in a place like Gouverneur, where we will be able to build lasting, meaningful relationships with people in the community. We are proud and honored to call Gouverneur home."

A fire erupted at a Dan bus lines company parking lot located adjacent to the Ayalon mall, immediately spreading among the closely packed buses on Shabbos afternoon, though no injuries were reported.
Several residents of the area reported hearing explosions as the buses caught fire, and smoke from the fire could be seen from all over the Tel Aviv area.
The flames were successfully extinguished by 26 firefighter crews with 46 firefighters from across central Israel just after 6pm.
Firefighters on the scene said that the possibility of arson was being investigated.
As the fire was still burning, Dan company spokesman Eitan Foxman, said, "As of now we are trying to block the fire from spreading to additional buses, and a gas station which is located inside the compound. Multiple fire crews are intensely working at putting out the flames."
He continued to state that, "Our initial information points to about 20 damaged buses as a result of the fire, but we will only know once it's out. Usually there are hundreds of buses on the lot. It's still early to speak to the cause of the fire."
The parking lot was not manned at the time and no injuries were reported. As a result of the fire, Shitrit Street, Abba Hillel Street and Sheshet Hayamim Boulevard were closed to traffic until the flames were extinguished
Fire crews battled the fires using a crane spraying system and bus drivers rushed to remove additional buses from the lot before they caught fire.

At last!/
It seems that I've been talking about my Chicken Dreams rug for a long time. It has really only been a few months. But now that the final loop has been pulled, the binding has been done, and a sleeve has been sewn on the back for hanging, it is in its designated location at the head of our bed. I love how it looks!
The same day it was hung up, I started making the new curtains for the bedroom out of Waverly "Pantry Plaid" fabric in red and off-white. Back in the 80s I sewed curtains for a primitive country decorator. We always did tab curtains that hang within the window, just brushing the sill. I love the simple look of them. My husband makes the little wooden brackets to hold the dowel rods.
Now that this fairly good-sized rug is finished, I will move on to making some smaller projects to sell when I am a guest crafter at One Good Woman, a fabulous shop in Camp Hill, PA. The shop's owner, Holly O'Connor, is having two guest crafters each Saturday through November first. She's calling this weekly event, "Meet Your Maker" [don't you love that name?!] These will be crafters of specialty foods and other handmade goods. I'll be demonstrating rug hooking and hopefully will sell a few of my hooked pieces. I'll be there on November first, so I have to get busy!
I love finishing a project like my Chicken Dreams rug and I'm always excited to begin the next thing. My head is swimming with ideas.
NOTE: The Chicken Dreams pattern is now available for sale from my Shop page.
There's a lot of beauty out there, and inside, too!

The calendar has just passed the halfway mark of the current year, but residents in Bloomfield are already looking forward to 2019.
The northeast Nelson County community will be celebrating its bicentennial then, and Brent Long told the Bloomfield City Council at its Monday meeting there are several major events already in the works.
"On Feb. 9 at the Bishop Event Center, we are planning on having a big birthday party for the community," Long said. "We are asking our wineries, Springhill and Chuckleberry, to have a wine tasting. Since February is Black History Month, we want to be able to tell the history of their contributions to the city."
Long said he is searching for photos from the Bloomfield Tobacco Festival.
"I know there are a lot of people who have old vending machines and clocks and calendars that back to the early 1900s," he said.
Long and his sister, Tina, are spearheading the plans for the bicentennial celebration.
"We also want to have a scavenger hunt in the spring that will last a few months," Tina Long said.
"We would do it digitally," she said. "We want to get people walking around and looking at things in the city. The key is community involvement. Two hundred years is pretty damn good. We are always hearing about events we used to have. Let's make this a good one."
Brent Long asked the council to allow the groups to have use of city property and services for a June 9 celebration.
"We are hoping to have a citywide yard sale and food trucks too," he said. "We are looking into having a Civil War encampment and maybe a soldier march. We will do something for our 200 years of agriculture history up at the park. We want the town to be bustling with people."
He told the council there will be a new mayor and perhaps new council members in Bloomfield in 2019.
"That's why we are here to ask for your support now," he said.
The council unanimously passed a nonbinding resolution to support the bicentennial plans.
Pool coming?
Mayor Rhonda Hagan suggested the city consider building a swimming pool for its residents.
"I don't want you to make any decisions tonight, but I think it is something we might want to look at," she said.
The mayor said the city has received bequests of money totaling more than $131,000, and hopes it can be utilized for something permanent.
"We need more for people to do here," Hagan said.
Councilman Denny Howard reminded other council members the city once had a pool on Riverside Drive.
"Those things can be a lot of work and a lot of trouble," he said. "It is not a bad idea but it is something we really need to think about."
New Haven has a city pool and Hagan will see what their operating expenses are.
"We've come a long way with our finances and I just want you all to think about this."
Chief to become
full-time employee
The city will now have a full time police officer as the council voted to increase Chief Scott Dennis' hours from 20 to 40 per week.
"Due to a change in the state law, we can do this and not have to pay any more into the County Employees Retirement System (CERS)," Hagan said. "He will be eligible for sick pay, holiday pay, and vacation pay, but we will not have to pay any retirement. We have the money to do that."
Dennis will continue working at a rate of $19.28 per hour.
In other actions:
• The new state law that went into effect on July 1 means the city will be charging more for the use of its facilities.
"I received something in the mail and we are going to have to start charging the 6 percent sales tax for the rental of the ballparks, the shelters, and other things," Hagan said.
"It sounds like we're going to be doing a lot of paperwork for not sending in much money," Councilman Nathan Jones quipped.
• Public works employee Scott Thompson told the council the city's Geographic Information System (GIS) is now available to the employees in real time.
"We can look on our computers and see what is happening," he said. "The fire department will have access to the information and know the capabilities of each hydrant."
Thompson has been working with Lincoln Trail Area Development District for more than two years to gather and input the information.
"A lot of the stuff we have is on paper from the 1930s,"he said. "We know where everything is."
• The city approved an ordinance to have the Nelson County Sheriff collect the city's property taxes.
However, the ordinance must be amended as it does not specify the cost to the city. Bloomfield's billing system is outdated and the council determined it is cheaper to pay the sheriff (.0425 percent) to collect the taxes than to update its system.

It's not so much heading into the "homestretch" as driving toward the "Red Zone" as Houston Airports prepare for the arrival of up to one million visitors coming in for the game and celebrations surrounding Super Bowl LI.
With less than 100 days before the Feb. 5 NFL Championship Game at NRG Stadium, Houston Airports isn't beginning its preparation as much as continuing planning that began with a visit to San Francisco in February 2016 to observe the work and preparation necessary for Super Bowl 50. A contingent from the airport traveled to that venue to observe how San Francisco International and Oakland International prepared for the arrival of fans and communicated with those fans before and during their stay.
More recently and closer to home, members of the External Affairs communications team attended a "100 Day Out Super Bowl LI Celebration" hosted by Greater Houston Partnership for local media and social media influencers to come together under one platform to help brand Houston.
First steps in welcoming the visitors to Houston for the game at the airports have been in place for months, with Super Bowl LI Countdown Clocks on display at both George Bush Intercontinental and William P. Hobby Airports. Working with the Houston Super Bowl Host Committee on the project, the clocks counting down the days to kickoff are located on John F. Kennedy Boulevard at Bush Airport and in the central concourse ticketing lobby near the TSA checkpoint at Hobby Airport. They are two of the four countdown clocks located around Houston.
A comprehensive communications plan has been formulated that includes a dedicated Super Bowl page on the fly2houston.com website, messaging for travelers, volunteers working to enhance the experience at the airport for visitors, signage to aid in wayfinding and information on transportation, and public outreach messaging to help both arrival and departure for the game has been formulated, and the work on materials to support those efforts has begun.
Super Bowl LI is the third Super Bowl held in Houston and the second played in NRG Stadium. Miami beat Minnesota in Super Bowl VIII played at Rice Stadium in 1974, and New England beat Carolina in Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004.

Sometimes before I go to sleep I sit up in my bed and draw random things. It always puts me to sleep. Lately getting back into my own work, I have been embracing randomness. As with the new drawings above, there are images all connected by no real cohesive idea just small studies, individual inside one whole. I think its a good way for me to get my brain back into working condition. Haitus is hard.
For the last two years now I have been working on a business plan to start a gallery here in Chicago. I am pleased to introduce Simple Gallery! Getting ready to look for space and incorporate, planning a benefit and art auction in addition to my day job and personal studio practice. So many things come up when starting a business, I am learning so much everyday. The plan is to provide an artist in residence space on a rotating basis to a selected artist as well as monthly programming such as artist lecture series and open critique nights for artists in the community. When there is a website and more has evolved I will be sure to dedicate a post...

Jamie Carragher reckons Manchester United would be getting one of the best centre-backs in the world if they managed to sign Sergio Ramos.
The 29-year-old centre-back has been unable to agree on a new contract at Real Madrid, which has led to him being linked with a move to Old Trafford.
Ramos has two years left on his current Bernabeu deal but doesn't feel like he is being given the respect he deserves for the success he has helped the club to achieve.
United have an ace in their pack in the form of David De Gea should they decide to swoop for Ramos, with the Red Devils determined to get a player plus cash deal out of Madrid for their star goalkeeper, who is intent on moving to Real this summer.
And Carragher reckons United should do whatever it takes to convince Ramos to swap Madrid for Manchester.
"He plays for one of the best clubs in the world and one of the best international sides we've ever seen," Carragher told talkSPORT.
"He is rash at times, he has moments of madness and does get overly emotional in games, that's always been a problem for him, but let's not forget that it's a problem for Wayne Rooney as well.
"I'm not bothered about whether United sign him or not, or whether he'd be a good signing or not, but if he is not rated as one of the world's best players, who is?"
Ramos has a £128m buyout clause in his current contract, but with Madrid wary that a new deal is nowhere near close to being struck, United could land the Spaniard for a fraction of that fee.
And Carragher, who reckons Ramos' immense trophy record for club and country is a testament to his quality, hit out at the defender's critics.
Carragher added: "If his trophy record doesn't give him a bit of credit, what chance have I, or any of the centre-backs in the Premier League?
"I think it's disrespectful – he's won nearly 130 caps for Spain! He's not playing for Mickey Mouse teams. I've heard callers say he hasn't reacted well under pressure and makes mistakes - what defender doesn't make mistakes?
"If a team like Real Madrid could find a better defender, they would, but they don't. Ramos plays every week, they win everything and people still chip away at him and criticise him.
"Top-class centre-backs are a dying breed now, there's very few now compared to years ago. If United don't get Ramos, or don't want to sign him, who else would they get?"

Gossamer, meaning a filmy substance spun by spiders, is an appropriate title for an album with a sound that aurally manifests the silky, smooth feel of such a material. Keeping the same succinct album naming methods, Gossamer is the long-awaited follow-up to 2009's Manners, a project that was initially started as a Valentine's Day present for lead singer Michael Angelakos' girlfriend, which would become their debut EP, Chunk of Change.
Although Gossamer finds Passion Pit teaming up once again with producer Chris Zane, the overtones of effervescent electropop are noticeably lacking in comparison to Manners. This much is evident in the first track and single, "Take A Walk," a jaunty song that finds Angelakos talking in the past tense (as in "took a walk") rather than the present. The single features lyrics that alternate simultaneously between talk of family and immigration, specifically, "Once I was outside Penn Station/Selling red and white carnations/We were still alone, my wife and I/Before we married, saved my money/Brought my dear wife over/Now I want to bring my family stateside." Originating from Boston, I suppose both of these subjects are appropriate to Passion Pit's lyrical content.
The second track and single, "I'll Be Alright," bears the closest resemblance to the sound of Manners. Posing the question, "Can you remember having any fun? 'Cause when it's all said and done/I always believed we were/But now I'm not so sure." The reflection on a failed relationship that no longer holds the shiny appeal it used to is illustrated in Angelakos' urging, "You should go if you want to/Yeah, go if you want to/I'll be alright." In spite of the melancholic theme, Passion Pit lends the song an upbeat tempo as only Passion Pit can.
"Carried Away" opens with a beat that would invoke jealousy from the likes of Thomas Dolby and Marc Almond, oozing the melodious new wave tinge of the 80s with no holds barred. Much in the same way that "Take A Walk" does, "I'll Be Alright" pairs a contrasting tempo with the nature of the lyrics Angelakos sings: "I don't really know you and I don't really want to/But I think I can fake it if you can/I get carried away/Carried away from you." Prone to the vaguely sardonic, "Carried Away" possesses a melody that would make you think Angelakos was waxing on about the deliciousness of soft serve ice cream. The mood switches from lively to ethereal (almost trip hop-like) on the album's third single, "Constant Conversations." As the song begins, the vocals showcase a love of self-deprecation with the epiphany, "I'm drunker than before they told me drinking doesn't make me nice." This lyric sets the tone for the story of a man who always seems to find himself talking to the object of his affection in a state of drunkenness. But, really, if you're an intelligent person, you can know no other way of existing.
"Mirrored Sea" picks up the pace of the album again with its otherworldly vibe, using the concept of a mirrored sea as a metaphor for unwanted remembrances: "Mirrored sea/Your waves they're haunting me/They're all I see/Oh let me be, you mirrored sea." In a strange way, it sounds like the doppelganger to "Moth's Wings." "Cry Like A Ghost" fittingly bears backing music that sounds like it could be played in a haunted house and continues the overlying theme of blaming alcohol on one's stupidity with the admission, "And yes, I drank all those drinks on my own/My life's become some blurry little quest." The song then segues into a discussion about a girl named Sylvia, haunted by her past (being haunted is another significant motif on Gossamer) as Angelakos notes, "Sylvia, no one's gonna tell you when enough's enough."
"On My Way" explores another common subject on Gossamer: Blame. Cautioning, "Don't once think this madness is my fault alone," "On My Way" is one of the most overtly sentimental tracks on the album—without using the guise of a sprightly musical accompaniment. "Hideaway" commences with a scratchy, far-off sounding tone that transitions into something that closely reflects a more upbeat version of "Swimming in the Flood." The assurance, "Hideaway/Someday everything will be okay" is one of the most exuberant and hopeful messages present on Gossamer.
"Two Veils to Cover My Face" is, incidentally the best interlude on an album since Rihanna's "Birthday Cake." With the soft, soothing voice of Angelakos crooning, " Let the wind sing us our love songs," among other sweet nothings, you are then rapidly ear raped by the swift shift to the frenetic opening of "Love is Greed," a song that confirms, "Love has always been a mockery."
The second to last song, "It's Not My Fault, I'm Happy," bears one of the most overtly uplifting musical auras on Gossamer. "It's not fair/Still I'm the only one who seems to care" expresses the subtly ironical tenor of the track. Capping off the album with "Where We Belong," Passion Pit makes an unwitting statement about their own place within the ranks of the music industry, inquiring, "Who says you ought to stay? How's this the easier way?" Regardless of the subconscious implications of those questions, it seems likely that Passion Pit has plenty more to offer in the future.
While Gossamer may lack the same energetic of songs that were in full effect on their debut, namely "Little Secrets" and "Sleepyhead," it still exhibits marked signs of maturity, while managing to maintain the band's playful air.

\General manager for Europe will provide insight into trends and best practices for implementing enterprise quality systems in the automotive manufacturing industry\<\/em\>\<\/p\>\r\n\r\n\
\FAIRFAX, Va. \<\/strong\>– Sept. 1, 2015 – InfinityQS International, Inc., the global authority on real-time quality and \Manufacturing Intelligence\<\/a\>, announces that Martyn Gill, general manager for Europe, will speak on a software panel at the 2015 Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) Quality Summit. As a panelist, Gill will provide insight on trends and best practices for implementing enterprise quality systems in the automotive manufacturing industry. The 2015 AIAG Quality Summit is slated for Sept. 22-23 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan.\<\/p\>\r\n\r\n\
"Although the automotive industry was one of the first to embrace Statistical Process Control (SPC) software, many manufacturers have yet to realize its power beyond collecting quality data on the plant floor," said Martyn Gill, general manager for Europe, InfinityQS. "Now facing new challenges such as meeting fuel efficiency requirements, lightweighting and providing additional functionality, it is important for automotive manufacturers to look into their software's additional capabilities. With advanced enterprise quality systems, manufacturers can use the data collected to support continuous improvement efforts, cut costs and improve product quality across the supply chain."\<\/p\>\r\n\r\n\
With more than three decades of experience in the quality industry, Gill has worked closely with automotive manufacturers across the world. As InfinityQS' general manager for Europe, Gill leads the company's business development strategy across the region.\<\/p\>\r\n\r\n\
Moderated by David Mimms, general manager, quality assurance management, Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, the panel will feature five experts, including Gill, who will answer questions about the use, selection, implementation and benefits of quality software. In addition, InfinityQS will exhibit its enterprise quality hub, ProFicient, during the conference at booth #1.\<\/p\>\r\n\r\n\

This is our third in a series of blogs on Beyond the Whiteboard, the system we use at CrossFit 1864 to log workouts, identify strengths and weaknesses and track progress. Our first post looked at the Fitness Levels in general, and our second post was focused on how to accurately log your results.
Today, we will focus on how you increase your fitness level.
Beyond the Whiteboard's "Fitness Level" and "Weaknesses" features (in the anaylsis section) are designed to give you more information about your workouts and your present physical capacity. Everyone has their "Fitness Level" calculated which is represented as a number from 1-99. This number captures how your performance stacks up to the rest of the Beyond the Whiteboard community, worldwide.
"On average, it takes 19 Months to improve from a level 50 to a level 80."
New & Intermediate level CrossFitters can improve their fitness levels very quickly. The folks at Beyond the Whiteboard have found that If you're currently between 1-60 and you stay committed and consistent in your training then you can increase your Fitness Level by up to 20 points per year.
"This rate holds true until you get to Level 80. Going from level 80 to 90 can take over 8 months, on average, which is 45% longer than it takes to go from 70 to 80."
Advanced CrossFitters have a tougher time (sigh)... on average it takes these guys about 5-6 months to improve their Fitness Level by 10 points.
To make Regionals, you need to be near a level 90, and top level CrossFit Games athletes will be around level 95! The difference between one or two levels at the top is huge and a single point progression can be a result of months of hard work.
Making progression
If you are new to using Beyond the Whiteboard you will find that your Fitness Level jumps up and down as you add information to each of the eight different categories: Power lifts, Olympic Lifts, Speed , Endurance, Bodyweight, Light, Heavy and Long.
But what workouts actually improve these levels? It's simple to find out. If you click through one of these categories you can see exactly what workouts or lifts are used when determining these numbers. Lets look at 'Bodyweight'...
If I click on the 'Bodyweight' category it takes me through to this screen
This is a list of all the bodyweight workouts (there are lots which you cannot see on the screenshot) that if I perform as Rx'd, will contribute to my Fitness Level number. To give you an idea of how many there are:
Bodyweight: Over 45 workouts
Light: Over 65 workouts
Long: Over 35 workouts
For a more comprehensive explanation of Fitness Level Workouts check out this blog post available on Beyond the Whiteboard. You can also view all 288 Fitness Level Workouts by going to "Explore > Workouts" on Beyond the Whiteboard, clicking the "Fitness Level" filter, and selecting "All". From there you can easily log any of these workouts when you complete them.
Each week, we at CrossFit 1864 aim to program at least one workout from this exhaustive list so you guys can continue to fill out your Fitness Level. From now on, we will make sure to note on the blog when we are doing this workout and what it is contributing too, that way you can make sure you get yourself in to hit the workout! Starting with today's WOD... #sorrynotsorry
We are confident that if you stay consistent with training and eat/sleep/rest well you will be able to increase your Fitness Level at a similar rate to those we mentioned above. Although in the beginning you may see big jumps (and the occasional dip) you will definitely see results and become a lot fitter if you work hard, remember our blog on Intensity vs Technique? Yes, it will take some time to become very fit (Level 80+), that's the harsh reality. I have been at level 87-89 for some time now, but I love the challenge of trying to nail that level 90! Here you can see how my level as undulated over the last 6 months...
My drop off between September and November came as I tried to fill out some of the categories I had no results for. It was a little depressing at the time, but it gave me a new drive and some weaknesses to work on.
All this means we will always have something to focus on and give our training some meaning, new targets to smash and new goals to reach
In Fitness, just like life, the journey is the reward. Enjoy it.
WORKOUT OF THE DAY with COACH TOM!

1) Coffee & Tacos. Always.
I never have a Friday off because I'm sitting at the shop. However, were I to find myself with a free Friday I'd start off at Houndstooth with a coffee (cortado for me, please!). Houndstooth, though just a few years old, is an integral part of Austin's coffee community. With two locations in Austin and one opening soon in Dallas these guys are the ones to watch.
Happily, my favorite taco spot, Taco Deli, is right next door to Houndstooth. A couple breakfast tacos are a must.
Full disclosure: Friday or not, I start most days off like this.
2) Let's go shopping!
A little mid-morning shopping isn't a terrible way to kill a few hours & Austin's teaming with loads of great shops. Spartan still reigns king, er queen, for me. Their sharp edit of gorgeous housewares, creative ceramics and jewelry gets me every time. Farewell Books & Las Cruxes are two more must visits. Conveniently located under the same roof, Farewell is stocked with new & used books with a focus on theory, art & literature while Las Cruxes hones in on unisex finds, creative jewelry, apothecary goods and records. Both have small gallery spaces as well. And if that's not enough for you you can grab (another) coffee at Flat Track & a little lunch at Shhmaltz, a vegan Jewish deli truck -- both tucked behind the shop.
3) Swimming at Deep Eddy.
If it's summer, which it just so happens to be right now, I'd be off for a swim. Barton Springs, a natural swimming hole at a constant 68°, is a perennial favorite but I opt for slightly quieter Deep Eddy Pool. It's spring fed and the oldest pool in Texas - how cool is that!?
4) Drinks at San Jose.
It's afternoon. Time for a drink. The San Jose is a perfect spot for late afternoon, post pool lounging. Their spicy Micheladas & sangria are the best. The people watching isn't bad either. South Congress too crowded for you? Head over to Weather Up on Cesar Chavez for classic prohibition era cocktails instead.
5) Dinner time. I mean, pizza time!
Pizza, am I right? Who doesn't love it?! Bufalina in East Austin makes the best pizza in town. That is to say, if you love Neapolitan style, wood-fired, dough-y thin crust & a rotating cast of farm fresh toppings. I bet you do.
6) Let's go to the movies.
The Summer Classic Film Series at the historic Paramount Theater in Downtown Austin is one of the singly most enjoyable things in Austin, in my opinion. Catch a classic movie - everything from Woody Allen to Charlie Chaplin, John Landis to Godard, Wim Winders to James Bond make their way through the theater. Pro tip: snag a large coke & a whiskey neat from the bar in the lobby then pour that sucker in your soda & revel in the cold, cold a/c.

In the same way, all of us deal with some form of pressure.
Maybe not physical pressure. We're not at a high altitude right now.
It may be academic pressure—your parents really want you to do well in school.
I was talking to a guy Friday who lived in China for several years. He told me parents put so much pressure on their kids to do well academically, that every spring when they take their standardized tests—the suicide rates skyrocket.
Maybe you're experiencing financial pressure—you're getting behind on your bills. You're afraid of emergencies. You don't know how you'll make ends meet.
Maybe you're experiencing emotional pressure—at your job, at school, from a bully who's always picking on you.
Maybe you're experiencing family pressure. Maybe your home is full of screaming and yelling and hot tempers. Maybe even physical abuse. And you dread coming home to your family.
Maybe like the mom in this picture, you feel like you need 6 arms to do everything.
How do you cope with the pressures of life?

Batch cooking is great for when you are busy and need healthy options. Pronto. I find that when I make a big batch of quinoa or brown rice it easily lasts for a few days and I can have numerous, simple dishes all under ten minutes!
Brown rice packs more to the punch when compared with white rice. It has not been processed and is still full of fiber, protein, and selenium. It also leaves you with a good-full feeling as opposed to a heavy, dull-full feeling.
I would like to leave the recipe for brown rice with you today so that, if you fancy, you can try it for yourself. It is quick and good for you too. Do you have any go-to batch recipes or easily adaptable to brown rice? If so, do share ;)
Recipe for Easy Brown Rice
This recipe serves 4.
1 cup brown rice
2 cups of water
Combine the water and rice into a pot. Bring to a boil over medium to high heat. Once at a boil, reduce the heat to a medium to low setting. Make sure to cover the pot and simmer until the liquid is completely integrated with the rice and the rice is just tender. This should take about 40 minutes. It'll be super tempting to open the lid and look at the rice but important steam will escape so try to not peak. Take the pot off of the heat and set to the side for 10 minutes. Then you can open the pot and fluff the rice with your fork. And wala, easy brown rice!
Not that this has a whole lot to do with brown rice but I love this visual.
I imagine feeling this ^^ on the inside and reflecting it outwards by positive thoughts, words, and actions.

Canadian makes very cool map of United States
This map uses dirt from every state, and it's made by an 85-year-old retired ad agency art director. His favorite soils came from Colorado ("quite reddish"), Maine ("pale and sandy"), and Mississippi and Alabama ("deeply colored with iron oxide"). The soils have varying degrees of acidity, and each is a slightly different color.
Read more about the map and Les Gregor's process. If you like it, you can purchase one! Personally, I love how gritty and 'American' it feels (yes, including the irony of the artist's home country) and would LOVE to own one…

Spend Smart and Save More in 2014
The New Year is approaching, and if 2013 was any indication of how it will play out financially, 2014 may be looking up for some. But, if you're someone who still may be having some financial troubles, it's a great time to make some money-saving resolutions that won't break your back and will keep you from breaking the bank.
If you've ever made a personal or health related New Year's resolution, you'll notice a large increase in memberships to gyms. What you often don't see, however, are increases in your savings. Here's a few ways to change that.
Make a food budget
A lot of people have financial troubles because of one of the things they need daily – food. The obvious solution would be to eat cheap meals if you're in a pinch, but this usually leads to fast food, which is unhealthy and more expensive than you think. So often people avoid grocery shopping because of the one-time high price of a load of groceries. With the right recipes, however, you can eat healthily and cheaply every day. One way to start this good habit is to set aside a set amount of money each week for groceries. Stick to that amount, and build up a healthy pantry. Once the essentials are bought, you can lower that budget to include only perishables for the week. You can successfully save your money and health by following this method.
Avoid frivolous spending
This may seem obvious, but it is often overlooked. The big question here is, "Do I need that?" A helpful tip is, whenever you find that you want to buy something, wait a week. If you still want or need it, go ahead and buy it. What you're avoiding here is impulse buying, which is the cause of a lot of money problems for people.
Save the Earth
This resolution can go two ways. For one, going partially green helps the environment, and in some cases such as solar energy, can get you tax breaks. On the other hand, conserving energy use and recycling/reusing helps you save money directly. Make it a point to use less energy at home. Use less electricity on lighting, and unplug unused appliances. Recycle what you can and reuse what is available. Save the Earth, and save some dollars.
While these aren't the only resolutions you can make to help out financially in 2014, they're certainly ways that can help. It's a New Year, and let's make it a good one.

Mequon town center project could bring apartments, hotel, stores to city land
By Sean Ryan – Reporter, Milwaukee Business Journal
Mar 3, 2016, 11:04am CST Updated Mar 3, 2016, 11:44am
Mequon developer Cindy Shaffer could start moving dirt in August for the first buildings in a planned $30 million project on Mequon Road with apartments, stores, restaurants and a boutique hotel.
Shaffer pitched the project in response to Mequon's attempt to sell 13.4 acres of city land north of Mequon Road, between Buntrock Avenue and a set of railroad tracks. That property is west of the Mequon Town Center project that Shaffer co-developed.
The latest project, dubbed Heritage Commons, follows a similar design concept and mixes housing, retail buildings and public spaces. It would have 70 apartments in two multi-story buildings with underground parking, and eight to 12 townhouses, according to a press release from Shaffer Development.
The project could be complete by the end of 2018, according to plans shown to the Mequon Common Council on Tuesday. Mequon officials in November approved negotiations with Shaffer Development over the land sale, and approved a contract for the sale last month.
"We wanted to get some additional feedback and direction from the council as we move forward on this project" said Kim Tollefson, Mequon director of community development. "The development of this site could increase our tax base $4 (million) to $6 million over the next 10 years."
There are several existing buildings on the project site. Mequon's fire and police stations will be unaffected. The project would preserve three of the brick buildings on the site and convert them into restaurants and retail spaces. Others would be demolished.
A new retail building and boutique hotel are also planned. Those commercial buildings are the second phase of the development, and wouldn't' start until spring 2017, after the city relocates its operations. Interest in the retail space is high and the developer is in discussion with potential tenants, according to Shaffer Development.
"A preliminary assessment for a hotel at this location showed a potential benefit to the area," Shaffer said, adding housing could instead be built if there is not enough demand to support a hotel.
The first phase includes new housing on the northern section of the site, including townhomes. Pending approvals, Shaffer Development could begin moving dirt for the townhomes in August and complete them at the end of 2017.

While I can cook, I know my cooking skills are very limited. I could actually count with my two fingers the number of gourmet dishes I can whip up. (I'm more into home-cooked meals, you know.) And if I were to judge my own cooking, they only fall into two categories: hit and miss.
But that's not really the point of this post.
All I want to say is that ever since I got married, I've been enjoying cooking for my husband. Not only do I get to have more kitchen experiments, I also get to find out his favorite dishes without even asking him. Now, if a husband's appreciation for his wife's cooking is to be measured by how much he eats, then I can proudly say that the hubby loves my cooking very much!
What I like more about him is that he is never choosy when it comes to food and never forgets to thank me for cooking his meal right after eating. I mean, while it's my duty as a wife to feed him with decent meals, I could use an expression of praise or gratitude to inflate the ego of the domestic goddess in me once in a while. 🙂

Too often, proximity is the only criterion used to answer the eternal conundrum of what to eat for lunch. There's that sushi place nearby, or there's probably pizza. But you can do better. We challenged three of our favourite Toronto chefs to make a lunch with a little more substance. Namely it had to be filling, easy to prepare, and more delicious than it had any right to be, given how healthy it is. So here's a good lunch option for you, which can be easily made at home if you're not lucky enough to work in the neighborhood (or city, or province).

Based on A Catholic School Governance Handbook for a New Era (p.3), the authors, Dr. Dan Ryan, Dr. Regina Haney, and Dr. Anthony Sabatino named preferred universal constructs or competencies and habits of mind needed for future board successes. These competencies and habits should be found in all school board models:
- Collaborate: willingness, knowledge, and skills to function collaboratively.
- Dream: willingness to dream and take a risk. Use SWOT analysis to manage those dreams.
- Think SMART: Think strategically, assessing progress, recognizing reality, seeking results, focused on the outcome in a timely pathway for success.
- Understand and respect the value of the mission and purpose of Catholic education.
- Practice spirituality: Use modified Jesuit Examen for regular reflection, contemplation and imagination in order to develop a process for committees and the board to be organized and future-focused.
Dr. Regina Haney and Dr. Dan Ryan will be presenting a Focused Content Session, Administrator and Boards: Cultivating Relationships for Success, at the Institute for Catholic School Leaders, July 15-18 in Los Angeles.
The learning objectives for this session include:
- Describe the ten seeds of insights for school heads to build collaborative partnerships with school boards.
- Assess his/her strengths and weaknesses in the areas of the ten seeds of insights.
- Evaluate one's board to compare one's own strengths and weaknesses.
- Create a plan integrating the growth of the board with one's own growth as head of the school to effectively facilitate the board's leadership.

ROCK ISLAND, Illinois-- Students who created a display to raise awareness about sexual and domestic abuse were outraged and frightened when they discovered someone vandalized the project, including setting portions of it on fire.
The vandalism happened sometime the night of Wednesday, Oct. 25, on the quad of the Augustana College campus.
"To have something a violent act against something like this which is denouncing violence and supporting survivors who had to deal with violence with their own lives is extremely disturbing," said senior Jamie Mclean.
Every year the clothespin project is put on by Augustana's Women's Gender Studies program. It's is aimed to give a voice to survivors of domestic and sexual abuse.
Augustana students made the shirts to show support for victims or to speak out about their own experiences with assault. Those shirts were then hung on a rope pinned with clothespins.
"A lot of people are angry a lot of people are really upset and hurt," Mclean said, regarding the vandalism.
What was supposed to be considered a safe space, turned into something more violent, she said.
"It felt very blatantly obvious that it was supposed to be an act of violence... that was meant to intimidate and cause fear," said Augustana student and project volunteer, Rachael Meadors.
"We're living with this person we're going to school with this person and if it is someone who came off of campus and did it it's still a violent message," Mclean added.
Both Meadors and Mclean say the act came as a surprise because the school provides inclusive programs involving support for those affected by sexual abuse.
"This is an act that we're taking very seriously and that we're are going to work our hardest to see if we can find the people who did this," said Keri Rursch, media relations for Augustana College.
Rursch says the school is working with Rock Island Police and investigating on who is behind it.
Students say the damage done won't silence them and will keep striving to keep their message alive.
"I think a lot of us are very firm in that we will not remain silent and that this is just emboldening us more to stay resilient and keep talking about it," said Meadors.
