I just picked up a few more materials and I've gone through my visualization process. Mine should be done soon.
Should be lots of nice swap flies based on the participants. Additional news: dfl gave his spot to steeli. High Mountain Hunting (and fishing) Supply brought a bunch of tying supplies to our Tuesday fly club meeting and was selling it at blow-out prices. I got two bags of damsel olive marabou for my flies in the swap.
I'm going with a sparrow-variation or an olive ostrich herl pattern. Tying frenzy before the 4th...should have mine in around end of June. Looking forward to seeing everyones!
I've got everything I need, just need to get tying. I've never really tied damsels before so I had to do some searching to find something that matched my tying ability. Settled on a simple marabou pattern. Think ill get started right now actually
Most damsel patterns are relatively easy to tie. A marabou body w/rib, a thorax, a shellback (pheasant) of some sort and mono eyes if one prefers.
hows everyone doin? i got 3 left i'm finishing up this afternoon if you wanna go ahead and send me an address.
I hate to say it but I haven't tied the first one yet. Ive got some neighborhood issues going on. I need 12 flies per tyer for the swap.
Yeah despite all my bluster I've been fishing for six days, just back Sunday, took care of my yard and my gear, and got absorbed with a boat wood work project. Guess I better batch em out, eh?
Busy during the upcoming few weeks so just finished tying up the bugs. My swimming armada getting ready to fly.

I have a question about my small NY apartment living space. I heard that an apartment feels SMALLER with rugs. Is that true? If I get rid of my rugs and have just the hardwood floors, would the apartment feel any bigger?
I have a question about my small NY apartment living space. I heard that an apartment feels SMALLER with rugs. Is that true? If I get rid of my rugs and have just the hardwood floors, would the apartment feel any bigger?
The easiest way to answer your question is to take the rugs up and see what it feels like. I would venture to say it will seem bigger just for the simple reason that you won't have the rugs breaking up the space which will give continuity.
this is one of the areas that interior designers have great value. just as with many other areas a generalized statment may be true in some cases and not in others. there can be other factors involved in the final decision such as size of rugs and even color. color makes a big difference, for instance I do granite counter tops and when in a galley style kitchen using dark counters on dark cabinets can make the kitchen look like a dark cave. but this too can be limited by lighting and painting with light colors and light colored floor. so my suggestion would be to talk to a design professional and get their input maybe just carry some pictures of your apartment and they may offer some free advice in hopes of doing some work for you.

Minimalists see their homes spacier without a lot of rugs and furniture inside so I suggest use rugs in a minimal way. This will also save your time vacuuming and washing them every time they look unclean and stinky.
Color and light will affect the feeling of space far more than rugs. The perception of crowding will be increased by using larger rugs which will make the room seem smaller.
I've also heard that rugs make a small space appear smaller but they're very practical for protecting wood floors and providing comfort for bare feet, so I think you just have to be wise in choosing one. Personally, I think solid colored carpet remnants (as opposed to busy patterned rugs) and rugs in similar colors as the walls (low contrast) can make a space feel just as expansive as bare floors. As someone else suggested, the best way to know for sure is to try one out in the room. Good luck!

Direct From Google: How To Build A Quality Website In 2012
Via Scoop.it – SOCIAL MEDIA, what we think about!
I hear a lot of webmasters complain day in and day out about all the changes that Google constantly makes to its algorithm and how they affect our search engine placement. Let me break it to you: it's not all about what Google has done and will do to update its algorithm. It's about what you SHOULD BE doing. I am sure we all can agree that Google's ultimate goal is to help people find the most relevant and highest quality sites in Google's search results (whether they are any good at it is not the question). They are not putting out all these updates just to mess with you…

- - Spider-Man, to the Kingpin's thug, page 10 Mary Jane...knockin' 'em dead, Tiger! |
Amazing Spider-Man #59
Publication Date: January 9, 1968
Letters Page: Not currently in inventory.
I: Feature Story: "The Brand of the Brainwasher!"
Pages: 20
Script: Stan Lee
First Appearance: Dr. Winkler, Mr. Slade
Villain: Kingpin/The Brainwasher, Dr. Winkler, Mr. Slade
Guest Appearance: Aunt May, Capt. George Stacy, Gwen Stacy, Harry Osborn, Mary Jane Watson
Marvel Milestones: Mary Jane gets a job at the Gloom Room A-Go-Go
Synopsis: Spider-Man has to web up some cops who try to arrest him, for nothing will stop him from visiting his frail Aunt May in the hospital. He sneaks into her room, dressing down to Peter Parker street clothes, and his visit really perks her up. But soon, Peter must face the local police, who had sworn out a missing persons report on him. Capt. Stacy is there as the police interrogate Peter about his interaction with Spider-Man. He tells the police that Spider-Man let him free when his memory returned. This clears Spider-Man of wrongdoing, and another urgent matter takes the police commission's attention.
Captain Stacy takes an interest in Peter's first-hand knowledge of Spider-Man and invites him back to his home so he can ask him more probing questions about the costumed hero. His daughter Gwen walks in and rushes up to Peter, taking him in her arms and giving him a kiss. Peter realizes how much she cares for him, and together they take off to the Coffee Bean to meet up with Norman and the rest.
There, they meet Norman and head over to the Gloom Room A-Go-Go, where Mary Jane has a new job as a dancer. Unknown to her, however, her job is more than just dancing, as a sinister collection of men discuss her job in the back room of the club. Mary Jane is to dance the night away on stage, but between her act, they plan for her to take pictures of particular high-powered men who will be in the audience. The specially designed camera will implant a hypnotic state into their brain, allowing them to be brainwashed by a much larger
machine held in the back room. "The Brainwasher", the man behind all this intrigue, barks orders to his men, Mr. Slade and the mad scientist Dr. Winkler, the genius who helped develop the machine.
Spider-Man is swinging around when he notices some thieves knocking over a jewelry store. He wraps up the affair quickly, then heads on with his business. Mary Jane is showing her new employers what a great dancer she is, but they are more interested that she understand to the letter her duties with the camera. MJ reassures them that she can handle it. Later that night, Gwen, Harry and Peter are at the club for MJ's big debut. Also at the club is an invited audience of powerful public officials, including Gwen's dad, Captain George Stacy. They all enjoy Mary Jane's dancing, and the rest of the crowd gets up to dance
along with her.
During her break, she heads around to take pictures. Harry asks her to take a picture of them, but MJ tells her friends she's under strict orders to only take pictures of certain people. This strikes Peter as odd. Mary Jane heads over to take the picture of a city councilman. The man is eager to have his picture taken, but when the flash bulb goes off, he is confused and disoriented. Again, the same thing happens when Mary Jane takes Captain
Stacy's picture. He wanders out the club to get a breath of fresh air, but Mr. Slade intercepts him and guides the befuddled Capt. Stacy to the back room. There, Capt. Stacy somehow finds the will to resist being strapped into the Brainwasher's chair, but Slade overpowers him.
Gwen wonders where her dad has gone off to, and Peter goes out to investigate. He senses something is amiss, so he changes into Spider-Man. He sees some thugs with guns and takes them out with a swift kick. An alarm goes off, and Slade sends more flunkies out to take care of Spidey, but he's more than a match for them. Mary Jane stumbles backstage and sees Spidey knocking some heads around, and a gunman grabs her and takes her hostage. Spidey plugs his gun barrel with an ace shot from his web-shooters, and then he swings down and lifts MJ to safety.
He webs up some more flunkies guarding the door to the Brainwasher's secret back room, then busts the door down. He sees Dr. Winkler strapping Capt. Stacy into the Brainwashing machine, and just then, he is violently grabbed by the Brainwasher himself - the Kingpin!!!

After suffering a catastrophic medical event and the death of two family members, I found myself in a world of hurt. Debt collectors were calling so constantly that I had to unplug my phone. Dr. Guy Chism helped me through the inevitable: Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I think part of what makes him so effective and efficient at helping you through the process is that he genuinely cares. He is a good listener and responder. He will command honesty and full disclosure from you, and you will find yourself in a much better place. When I needed help, he never left me hanging. In some of my darkest moments, I could feel God's Spirit at work. Dr. Chism has sent me job leads, also. I wouldn't have been surprised to have been billed more for his extra help. That didn't happen. 2017 is bound to be a much better year! If you find yourself in need of his services, rest assured, you will be in good hands!
Posted by Paulette
Guy is an extremely competent and knowledgeable attorney. He is easily accessible, and if he (on rare occasions) does not have the immediate answer will get it to you in short order. Clearly, I hope I never need his services again but if I do, I will call him with great assurance that his professionalism and integrity are superior
Posted by Duane
Guy is a classy statesman yet down to earth and approachable. He helped me with my legal needs and took something very stressful and made it live able. He is very protective and goes out of his way to teach what's going on and allow the client to learn and understand the process so I could appreciate the end result.
Posted by Christine
Guy handled my bankruptcy and my divorce a year later. He made two very difficult decisions easy for me. He is professional, trustworthy, and had my and my children's interest in mind. All of my questions were answered and e-mails were returned in a timely manner. My divorce involved many military forms and calculations., which Guy handled with ease.
If your divorce is a military divorce, Guy David Chiism is the attorney for you!
Posted by Heather
I couldn't be happier with the experience I had while retaining Guy as my Attorney, he is very professional and a realistic, he will not advise you to do anything that is not in your best interest. I have completed my case but if I ever need legal counsel again, he would be the first one I call.
Posted by anonymous
This man is a lawyer like few I've met...honest. He handled things quickly, with little interruption to the rest of my life, and professionally. All costs were discussed during our initial conversation. The amount I was quoted was all that I paid.
Posted by Christine
Guy Chism is very professional, easy to talk to and has his clients best interest in mind. He handled my bankruptcy and made a very hard decision easy. Guy Chism answered all of my questions, returned my calls in a very timely manner. Guy Chism did not judge me, he listened to me and guided me through the bankruptcy process. I 100% recommend Guy Chism for your attorney. Guy Chism is the best of the best!!!!
Posted by anonymous
Dr. Chism is an excellent lawyer. His approach to law and his clients is so different from the rest of the members of his profession. You get the sense from him he is really there to help people and not just make money. The first time I came in contact with Mr. Chism, was over the phone. When I hung up my phone said my call had lasted 78 minutes. Did I ever see a bill?? NOPE! Mr. Chism takes his time and answers all my questions no matter how many times I ask them or how silly my questions are. His bedside manner is very reassuring and rock steady. My bankruptcy case was a mine field and my first attorney made a real mess of things. I had to hire Mr. Chism to step in and clean my mess up. He did not criticize or belittle my first attorney nor did he make excuses for him, he just jumped in and cleaned up the mess and assured me that sometimes it just doesn't work out between attorneys and their clients and the client has to move on. I felt so stupid trusting my first attorney but Mr. Chism handled me with dignity and grace befitting a gentleman from a yesteryear. Mr. Chism put me at ease and my case turned out perfectly and I got to move on with my life. I am proud to recommend him to anyone that really needs someone to walk you through a rough time.
Posted by Steve and Steph
We were so blessed to have found Guy Chism during one of the most difficult decisions we have had to make as a married couple. Since my husband is a proud active duty military member, this meant we had to make sure to find someone knowledgeable in every aspect of military guidelines for bankruptcy.
It has taken us so long to decide what we wanted to say in this review, anything we write will fall short of what Guy deserves! We will NEVER be able to repay Guy for what he has done for our family. The peace of mind we have knowing we will be taken care of well past our discharge date is priceless!
Guy Chism went above and beyond what we could have ever expected from a lawyer. And he still is. What should have been a "simple bankruptcy" turned into a nightmare by one lone creditor. Guy not only made us feel completely protected, he tried his hardest to educate this person to no avail.
We were never misinformed and Guy kept us in the loop throughout every step of the process. He prepared us for our 341 hearing and drove through terrible weather to ensure he was there with us. Even though we were extremely nervous, Guy was cool, calm and collective.
We truly could not have gotten through this without Guy Chism. What started out as a professional relationship with a lawyer we put all of our trust in, has turned into a family friend we will never forget.
The qualities of Guy Chism that we are most thankful for:
*Hard working
*Very Professional
*Extremely Knowledgeable
*Wonderful Person
I could go on all day!
Thank you Guy for everything. We would quickly and gladly recommend you to anyone needing a Great lawyer!
Posted by Nicole
Guy is a great person overall! Great work ethics, hardworking, kept me in the loop, supportive and fast! He is so kind and encouraging. I would definelty use him again and recommend him to anyone that needs help.

We set a bold goal and we met it.
In 2008, Harvard set a short-term goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 30% by 2016, from a 2006 baseline, inclusive of campus growth.
Our target was science-based, stemming from what climate scientists said was necessary, instead of what was achievable through on-campus reductions alone. Thousands of students, staff, and faculty throughout the University embraced the challenge, helping us achieve our goal.
What made the goal unique:
- Based on established climate science
- Imposed a short-term target in order to spur immediate action
- Reflected absolute emissions, inclusive of campus growth
- Included all properties within operational control throughout North America
Achieving the Climate Goal
Changes to energy supply and demand, including the decarbonization of the regional electric grid, resulted in a 24% absolute reduction in emissions. This progress was achieved despite the addition of over three million square feet of space. Purchased electricity from local renewable energy sources fulfilled the remaining 6% reduction needed to meet the goal. Excluding campus growth, emissions were reduced by 40%.
Understanding the challenge:
Harvard tracks and publicly reports on University-wide Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions using the Climate Registry's operational control methodology. The University's emissions inventory was third-party verified in 2016 and is in the process of completing verification to receive Climate Registered™ status. Management and tracking of short-lived pollutants in our inventory has improved since 2006, resulting in more accurate data on the actual losses of refrigerant gases and their associated emissions impact. Due to historical over estimations, this change appears as a decrease in the inventory. Learn more
How we met the goal:
1. Energy efficiency first
As a first step in meeting its climate goal, Harvard undertook a University-wide initiative to increase the energy efficiency of its buildings. Over 80% of the campus was energy audited, including all energy-intensive spaces, and energy reduction requirements were incorporated into the five-year capital planning process.
Facilities teams and building managers took advantage of University-wide tools and resources to install cutting-edge energy efficiency technologies and optimize existing systems through ongoing commissioning.
The most common types of improvements were HVAC (heating and cooling) and lighting upgrades. As a result, overall energy use is down 10% across the University, even as the campus grew (energy use varies year-to-year depending on weather conditions).
Tools and resources for energy efficiency:
- Clear financial framework: A Life Cycle Costing Policy, tailored to Harvard-specific utility rates and data, is used by all Schools to evaluate projects based on cost-effectiveness and environmental benefit.
- Annual Energy Conservation Measure reporting: Schools and departments report annually on their progress and planned projects.
- Financing tools: The $12 million Green Revolving Fund provides access to capital to facilities departments for smart, cost-effective projects.
- Green Building Standards: The Standards ensure all capital projects and renovations incorporate long-term costs into decision-making, and include aggressive energy efficiency targets, beyond the Massachusetts energy stretch code.
- Temperature Policy: Adopted in 2009, the Temperature Policy provides a framework to assist building managers and occupants in achieving a healthy, productive, and safe working environment while reducing energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions to the lowest practicable level.
- Governance and best practice sharing. The Sustainability and Energy Management Council (SEMC), established in 2010, is comprised of key senior University staff, including all facility and energy leaders from across campus. The SEMC's mission is to facilitate best practice sharing amongst facilities and operations leaders across Harvard's Schools and departments and to enable the cost-effective achievement of the University's sustainability and energy management goals.

2. Improving district energy
For nearly a century, Harvard has leveraged the benefits of on-site district energy to improve the resiliency of our campus. Projects undertaken to improve the efficiency and performance of the on-site Blackstone Steam Plant and two chilled water facilities account for the largest portion of on-site emissions reduction.
Fuel switching to natural gas + Combined heat and power + Additional utility efficiency upgrades = 20,500 MTCDE reduction, equivalent to taking over 4,300 cars off the road.
Watch this time lapse video of the Blackstone Turbine Project
3. Decarbonization of the regional electric grid
The electricity that Harvard purchases from the regional electric grid has become cleaner in the last decade, driven primarily by the replacement of dirtier fuel oils and coal with less-carbon-intensive natural gas—from 2000 to 2015, the percentage of the grid's total electric energy production from natural gas increased from 15% to 49% while coal decreased from 18% to 4%, and oil from 22% to 2%. (Source: ISO-NE)
4. Advancing the transition to renewable energy
Harvard was an early adopter of renewable energy, piloting emerging technologies including rooftop wind, assessing wind energy potential along the Charles River, and investing in solar and wind projects to accelerate the transition to clean energy. On-site solar PV, solar thermal, biomass, and geothermal installations play an important role diversifying Harvard's energy supply and serving as a testing ground to inform future action.
In 2009, Harvard entered into a long-term power purchasing agreement for 12 MW of carbon-free energy from the Stetson II wind farm in Maine, making us the largest purchaser of wind power by a college or university in New England at that time. Harvard has retired the Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from the project to meet requirements of the Massachusetts Renewable Portfolio Standard (2009–2016) and to meet part of the voluntary emissions reduction goal (2016). Excess RECs are sold.
5. Exploring off-site emissions reduction
In 2015, a faculty-led advisory group determined that the markets for off-site emissions reduction are complex and evolving. Following their guidance, Harvard is funding a three-year, multi-disciplinary graduate level course, as well as research projects to design and analyze practical tools for using off-site means as a component of achieving carbon neutrality.
Using criteria provided by the faculty advisors, Harvard identified a mix of off-site options to pursue that included regional, national, and global renewable energy and carbon offset projects. To complement the emissions reductions from energy supply and demand, the University purchased wind from Maine and existing hydro from Massachusetts in 2016 to meet our short-term climate goal (the other options identified were not needed as the on-site reductions were larger than projected).

6. Creating systems change
Harvard's campus-wide climate action plan aligned our decentralized organization around a common set of principles and policies that provided individual units with the autonomy to act and innovate within the unique constraints of their School or department. Creating and implementing the plan was managed by the Office for Sustainability, and overseen by an Executive Committee of senior faculty and administrators appointed by President Faust.
The experience provided a blueprint for the development of a University-wide Sustainability Plan in 2014 which positioned climate action under a broader sustainable development vision.
Moving forward:
The University is preparing to use the blueprint developed in meeting the 2006–2016 climate goal to envision a new set of climate commitments that will define its work on campus over the next decade.
A Climate Change Task Force composed of faculty experts, senior administrators, and students has been convened to deliberate how Harvard can best model the transition to decarbonization. The committee, which is co-chaired by Harvard Business School Professor Rebecca Henderson, Harvard Kennedy School Professor Bill Clark, and Executive Vice President Katie Lapp, plans to deliver its recommendations to President Faust next spring.
History of the 2006-2016 Climate Goal
In 2008, Harvard made a historic commitment to climate leadership: a science-based goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
2008 Task Force
The greenhouse gas goal was approved based on the findings and recommendations of a 2008 task force of expert faculty, students, and staff convened by President Faust. Their objective was to develop a goal based on the best available and accepted science, and what we must do globally to avert the impacts of climate change.
Campus-wide Celebration
In order to engage and empower the entire University in meeting the GHG reduction goal, the President's Office organized a Green is the New Crimson Sustainability Celebration on October 22, 2008. 15,000 people gathered in Tercentenary Theater to hear a keynote address from Vice President and Nobel Laureate Al Gore and alumnus of the class of 1965.
Listen to an excerpt of Al Gore's remarks at the 2008 Sustainability Celebration:
The Office for Sustainability, under the direction of Executive Vice President Katie Lapp, led the University community in achieving Harvard's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goal and in building a more sustainable community. These efforts were overseen by an Executive Committee co-chaired by Katie Lapp and two senior faculty members: Professor Jeremy Bloxham, Dean of Science and Mallinckrodt Professor of Geophysics in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and Robert S. Kaplan, Senior Associate Dean and Professor of Management Practice at Harvard Business School.
After the announcement of the goal in 2008, five working groups were created (GHG Inventory; Energy Supply; Building Efficiency & Demand Management; Finance; Communications & Engagement) and worked from 2008-2010 to create the GHG Implementation Plan.

GOD would kneel down:
St. Francis of Assisi
I think God might be a little prejudiced.
For once He asked me to join Him on a walk
through this world,
and we gazed into every heart on this earth,
and I noticed He lingered a bit longer
before any face that was
and before any eyes that were
And sometimes when we passed
a soul in worship
God too would kneel down.
I have come to learn: God
adores His creation.

Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem contains all the elements we've come to expect from Ackroyd: a historical setting, well-tuned pastiche, fact interwoven with fiction. What is new is the attention paid to the mechanics of plot, a skill in which Ackroyd slyly reveals himself to be a real virtuoso.
The main action of this many- textured murder mystery takes place in 1880, a few years before the first public appearances of Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper, though these legendary figures hover invisibly in the background. Here is Victorian London, complete with foggy streets and secret sexual deviation, in which the Illustrated Police News turns real crimes into lurid melodramas, and where the public enjoys a good homicide trial in much the same way as an evening at the theatre.
Ackroyd's narrative is divided and multivocal, echoing at a formal level the split personality and chameleon psychopathology of the unidentified serial killer at the novel's heart: the so-called 'Limehouse Golem', whose name derives from the artificial being of Jewish legend. There is an impersonal (though not omniscient) authorial voice, but it is interspersed with transcripts of Elizabeth Cree's performance in the dock; her autobiography; and what purports to be the diary of her husband John, a small time theatre critic and failed playwright.
As the Golem stalks his victims through the yellow fog, we watch Elizabeth Cree's ascent from the squalor of Lambeth to success in the music hall, whose trompe l'oeuil street scenes she prefers to the reality of the Strand outside. As she throws herself into one stage persona after another, the themes of role-play, forgery and disguise are brilliantly crystallised in the image of the theatre, which is presided over by the famous comedian, Dan Leno.
Leno - along with Karl Marx and George Gissing - is one of three real-life historical characters who are interviewed by the police as murder suspects. Unbeknown to each other, they rub shoulders in the Reading Room of the British Museum, where each is engaged in his own research. They are unwittingly connected by a string of uncanny coincidences: Marx, for example, has a book on his desk called Workers in the Dawn, which turns out to be Gissing's first novel; all three, at one point or another, read De Quincey, whose essay 'On Murder as One of the Fine Arts' becomes the leitmotif of the book.
Appropriately enough for a
detective-cum-historical novel, Ackroyd plays games with the nature of evidence. He wears his research so lightly that, unless you know otherwise, it's hard to see where the facts end and the fictions begin. 'This sounds like a mere melodrama from the London stage,' he remarks of Gissing's real-life criminal record and marriage to an alcoholic prostitute, reflecting on how life imitates art (the young Oscar Wilde also makes a brief appearance). The geography of his Victorian London is in part an imaginary landscape derived from fiction: Limehouse as a place of depravity comes from two period murder stories, Dorian Gray and Edwin Drood; Lambeth Marsh was the literary apotheosis of the urban slum for social realist novelists like Gissing and Somerset Maugham, who called his first book Liza of Lambeth.
Ackroyd's allusions to Gissing's realist credo make you wonder about his own postmodern vision, in which the concept of verisimilitude in fiction is stripped of its humanist associations and becomes simply a branch of forgery - literally so when he introduces the diary of John Cree with a fake British Library press-mark, as if to delude us into thinking we could go round to the Manuscript Room and call it up. Never missing a chance to point to its own artifice, the text is full of self-conscious touches such as this.
Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem may be wrapped in a web of literary allusion, but this doesn't diminish its page-turning suspense. If you want to feel learned, you can look for the scholarly references, but it's just as fun to pick up the clues to the murderer's identity which are scattered along the way. A critical analysis of the book will necessarily make it sound more laboured than it feels when you read it - we murder to dissect. Its fluent and accessible style is in fact triumphant proof that postmodern literature need not be unreadable.
Ackroyd is a music hall performer, entertaining us with feats of ventriloquy and contortionism. Yet for all that his novel dazzles, it has a heart of stone. Like the golem of mythology, its intelligence feels artifical. With its intertextual matrices and connecting reference points, it resembles nothing so much as Charles Babbage's early computer, which appears in the novel as the subject of Gissing's research in the British Library. Of all Ackroyd's metaphors for fiction-writing, this 'Analytical Engine . . . which combined and dispersed numbers over a network of mechanically related parts' is the one that seems closest to his own technique.

I had my first bottle of Canadian wine today: Pelee Island Eco Trail. And very nice it was too. Tried/done anything new recently?
in a theoretical sense, i think everyone does something new every day... if you extend this "doing something new" to mean a sequence of things then everyone definitely does something new every day... (ie. wash my face, brush my teeth THEN make my lunch... as opposed to doing it in some other order). but i'm just being a nuisance... i know what you mean... i rafted this summer for the first time... lots of fun. i'm always up for trying new things!
Went bouldering (ropeless rock climbing) for the first time a couple of weeks ago. First time I've done any sort of climbing. Really enjoyed it... ...after initial wave of vertigo!

A brush with royalty
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 12/10/12
The Henrico North Rotary entertained visiting royalty Nov. 28 at The Westwood Club, and in turn, members were entertained and enlightened by the current Miss Virginia. What's more, they got a surprise bonus: a chance to hear her comeback story.
To look at 21-year-old Rosemary Willis, one would never guess she is recovering from serious physical adversity. Attractive and athletic, she began dance lessons at the age of two and went on to play sports ranging from soccer and field hockey to gymnastics.
But in her senior year of high school, she suffered a boating accident that resulted in loss of consciousness and her third major concussion. The outcome of the injury was characterized as "minor" brain damage, including swelling of the brain, short-term memory loss, and problems with balance, hearing, cognitive skills and the ability to run.
The effect on Willis' lifestyle, however, was anything but minor.
"The neurologist prescribed rest and no rigorous cardio training for at least a year," she told Rotary members. "That was devastating news for an athlete who was on sports teams since the age of three. Playing soccer and field hockey were part of my identity, and that was now taken away from me."
Because her recovery entailed a new sedentary lifestyle, she began to gain weight, and struggled with her self-esteem and an eating disorder. Coupled with her learning difficulties ("I could sit down and read a book and never remember that I read the book") and the onset of her freshman year of college, the physical and emotional frustration sent her into a tailspin.
"I was already feeling insecure from my injury," Willis said, "and I was ashamed to struggle with yet another obstacle that made me abnormal and took me further away from the happy, outgoing girl who was in love with life."
With the help of counseling sessions, Willis eventually came to understand the role that sports had played in her self-concept, and found ways to replace soccer and hockey with new activities.
"It was exercise and self-respect that was missing from my life," she told her audience. "I started weight lifting and doing yoga – things that wouldn't exacerbate the injury." She also began logging her food intake and improving the quality of her meals, and set achievable goals of finding one small thing to accomplish each day.
Little by little, her confidence and strength returned, and the experience became a catalyst for the discovery of her passion: educating others about the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
"They say when you lose something you learn to appreciate it," Willis said. "I recognized that I loved being active because of the way it makes me feel and think positively about myself, [and] I became a fitness instructor and trainer to share my newfound joy for exercise with others."
So when it came to time to choose her platform for the Miss Virginia competition, Willis said, the topic was a "no brainer."
Since adopting her platform, "Get Moving Today for a Healthier Tomorrow," and becoming Miss Virginia, Willis has traveled 25,000 miles, reached 10,000 students in 10 schools (where she has taken over P.E. classes to teach yoga and kickboxing), and spoken to more than 20 civic clubs on the topic. She also has met with officials from municipal governments and Parks and Recreation Boards about creating more anti-obesity programs for children, and shared her enthusiasm for exercise at camps in Ukraine, Africa, Costa Rica, and Haiti.
Her passion has also moved her to volunteer at summer sports camps in Virginia, Tennessee, New York, and in Mississippi for Hurricane Katrina victims. While at the College of William and Mary (she is on hiatus while serving her term as Miss Virginia) she volunteered for a non-profit, Campus Kitchens, as a recreation leader, teaching group fitness classes and serving as a personal trainer for senior adults, disabled adults, and obese children.
One of her favorite success stories regarding the positive effects of exercise stars a boy named Dante, who participated in a program she led in Newport News.
"Dante came in down on himself," said Willis. "He had a bad attitude, low self-confidence, little cardiovascular endurance and he was struggling in school. He could only walk 10 minutes without getting winded." But by the end of the four-month program, she said, Dante was planning to try out for his school football team, and had brought his parents to the sessions to learn how to read food labels and provide healthier options at home.
Service above self
In a question-and-answer session following her presentation to the Rotarians, Willis also answered questions about her talent (singing), siblings (two older brothers, whom she jokingly calls her "pageant team"), and her college major (government, with a minor in kinesiology and health sciences).
But probably the most common question Willis gets – aside from "How do you keep your crown on?" – is "Did you grow up doing pageants?"
Not at all, answered Willis, a Chesapeake native. Competing never entered her mind until her freshman year of college, when a friend suggested that she enter a local Miss America pageant as a means of winning scholarship money.
Willis – who described herself as something of a tomboy growing up -- said her initial response was to laugh. "I don't even know how to put on makeup, or wear high heels!" she recalled saying at the time.
"But two years later, here I am," she told the Rotarians. "I guess I clean up pretty nice."
Anxious to dispel stereotypical ideas about pageants – which she said most people acquire from popular TV shows such as Toddlers and Tiaras – Willis explained that the Miss America organization is the largest scholarship provider for women in the world. Now that she has personally earned $21,000 in scholarships, Willis remarked, "My parents are really excited -- they don't have to pay for my senior year!"
But more importantly, she said, her role as Miss Virginia has provided the opportunity be a role model, and to become more engaged in community service – service that she said is "[what] makes the world go 'round. [It] cultivates a society that is about the 'other" and not the self, in a world that seems to be increasingly more about immediate self-indulgence and satisfaction. . .
"That's something I can relate to Rotary," Willis added, "since your motto is 'Service above self.'"
As Miss Virginia, Willis also has the opportunity to promote Miss America's national platform (Children's Miracle Network Hospitals) as Virginia's statewide ambassador, and to pursue her goal of helping to save an at-risk generation of children from the negative effects of unhealthy lifestyles.
For the first time, she pointed out, members of the upcoming generation may be the first to live shorter lives than their parents due to these "convenience-based, fast-paced" lifestyles.
"Families aren't taking the time to sit down for a meal, or go for a walk, and kids are spending an average of six hours a day on media," said Willis, noting that schools – which in recent years have been cutting rather than adding time for recess and physical education – cannot take up the slack.
Yet studies show that that academic success and physical activity go hand-in-hand, and that healthy active students have a higher graduation rate, partly as a result of chemicals released in the brain during exercise.
Pointing out that money and transportation often pose tremendous barriers to children who want to participate in after-school sports, she encouraged Rotarians to consider projects such as sponsoring field days or paying for a school basketball team's registration fees.
Seeing change first-hand
As she prepares for the Miss America pageant in January, Willis said she is maintaining a busy schedule of travel and official appearances along with her workouts, interview coaching and voice lessons.
But whether or not she goes on to greater fame as Miss America, she has her career goal – working with a non-profit organization that promotes health and wellness in the community and schools – nailed down. And she is the first to admit that she can thank her "lucky" accident for that.
"We all have excuses and barriers to exercise . . . and to achieve [our] best selves," she said. "Though mine was an injury . . . many others' could be disease, laziness, apathy, and lack of resources, time, or knowledge of the importance of wellness."
In leading health and fitness groups, mentoring others, and "seeing lives change first-hand," said Willis, she has found her life-long calling.
"I have felt no greater joy than when I get to be an enabler, a life-coach and motivational speaker, making a difference in people's lives one by one."

5 out of 5 stars Breast Lift with Implants
38 Saggy Breast - Mexico
I met with Dr. Lara and was fascinated. He advised me on what would be a correct fit for me and not. He was honest and thorough when explaining the different procedures and options. He at all times was professional. His staff was amazing the day of procedure. They were all very kind and patient. Dr. Lara was very prompt and responsive post-op when I needed documentation for work or had questions. I met with him again 7 days post op and he took his time to explain next steps and clarify questions. Today I am 2 weeks post op and I am very pleased with the surgery thus far. I was given the exact expectations with no surprises or disappointments.

A leafy forest has taken root in the concrete jungle! In an effort to raise awareness for environmental sustainability and healthy living, Aveeno Skincare has created an artificial forest right in the middle of New York City's Time Square as part of the company's Earth Day celebrations. Aveeno also announced that they will donate 500 trees to MillionTreesNYC, a crucial part of Mayor Bloomberg's PlaNYC. Given that one tree can turn 260 pounds of CO2 into clean oxygen in a single year, 500 trees can make a significant impact on the quality of our air.
The artificial oasis serves as part of the "Aveeno Be An Active Natural" educational program, which focuses on making small changes in our daily lives, in order to promote a healthy lifestyle and a more positive impact on the environment. Visitors to the forest will have a chance to experience the beauty of nature and the importance of balancing an urban environment with environmental conservation. They will learn more about the importance of trees and the impact they have on our environment and well being.
To complement Aveeno's tree donation, the New York Restoration Project will be collecting donations of trees to be planted over the next few months. The organization hopes to plant a total of 1000 news trees this spring. If you're interested in helping out, stop by the forest or contact the NYRP and MillionsTreesNYC.

So quite a while back Gabby (somegamergirl) asked MyIGN to submit videos showing off their nerd caves. Well, being a father of 3 I lost my cave years ago (it is currently the baby room). Well, I plan some renovations soon, but until then I will share with you my current set-up. Yes, the video is dark and and I am incoherent. Enjoy.
There you have it, I hope you liked it!

You know her because in almost every magazine I pick up lately, Elyse has contributed to the magazine with her gifted writing and crafting.
When we walked in the door of Blithewold, Elyse greeted us, and gave me a gift that she made for me. One of her dolls and she showed me how she even got my hair to look just like mine. Isn't she adorable? I will surely treasure her forever! Thank you Elyse.
On another table were stacks of Elyse's books, Tinkered Treasures and Seaside Tinkered Treasures.
A tower of scrumptious cupcakes decorated with beautiful designs made the perfect accessory and treat while crafting.
You can find Elyse on Tinkered Treasures Facebook page.
Thank you so much Elyse, we had such a lovely evening. Thank you Joyce for photographing us for the perfect keepsake.

Barilla was founded in 1875 by Pietro Barilla. The bread and pasta shop in Parma produced 50 kilos of pasta every day. 33 years later he grounded an industry with 80 people and a production of more than 80 metric tons of pasta per day.
In 1952 the production of bread was given up to focus on pasta and to increase its quality. At the same year, the advertising campaign 'With Barilla it is always Sunday,' created by Erberto Carboni – one of the masters of Italian advertising - won the prestigious Palme d'Or at the International Advertising Festival in Cannes, France.
Barilla became the first Italian company to market its pasta - sold in bulk until 1955 - in packages.
In 1971 the American multinational W.R Grace & Co of New York bought the majority of shares of Barilla. The new American management initiated a program of diversification at Barilla. One area of diversification explored by Barilla was the biscuit market.
In 1979 Barilla was re-bought by the Italian family and since 1993 the company is led successfully by the three Barilla brothers Guido, Luca and Paolo Barilla. In the late 1990s Barilla was the leader in Italy in the pasta and pasta sauce businesses and the world leader in the pasta business.
Today Barilla is one of the top food companies and has become popular worldwide as a symbol of Italian cooking.

Shaft Alignment
Our Story
Contact Us
After years of suffering from the yips, Clay Judice designed the SHAFTLIGN putter, in hopes of relieving his pain. The unique visual allowed him to easily line up, and at the same time, perfectly square the face.
But this new putter proved to be more than just a great alignment tool. The combination of the white shaft and bar proved to be a great peripheral aid in not only seeing, but also analyzing the stroke. It became a stroking tool as well. Indeed, many teaching pros advocate "putting with the shaft" as a stroke thought.
With practice came a confident feeling that everything was properly aligned, which led to a more relaxed stroke, in which
ball speed became the prime focus. And that led to better and better results.
Ultimately, for Clay, putting became fun again. And that just had to be shared.

Announcement made at official launch of Alliance's replenishment process in Brussels
Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, Thomas Silberhorn, at the High-Level Replenishment launch event in Brussels. Credit: GAVI/2014/Bernal Revert.
Brussels, 20 May 2014 - The German Government announced on Tuesday that it will host the GAVI Alliance replenishment meeting.
Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, Thomas Silberhorn, confirmed the decision at a European Commission-hosted event in Brussels launching the Alliance's replenishment process. EC President Jose Manuel Barroso and the Ethiopia President Mulatu Teshome both attended the high-level meeting.
"Germany is a major contributor to the health sector worldwide," explained Silberhorn. "The GAVI Alliance is one of several funds we are contributing to and we are preparing to invest more to strengthen the efforts to reduce child mortality and improve children's health worldwide."
The Alliance has asked donors for an additional US$ 7.5 billion over five years to fund its investment case for 2016-2020. With full funding, the GAVI Alliance will be able to help countries to immunise an additional 300 million children, saving six million lives.
"GAVI has changed the world because it has created an atmosphere that everybody can contribute to and see results," said Silberhorn, emphasising the impact of immunisation both on reducing child mortality and contributing to national economic growth by helping people live longer and healthier lives.
"This isn't only a moral question. It's about realising the full potential of the younger generations, not to fall ill and to be able fulfill the creativity and energy of young people," he added.
