|People on Campus: Denise Miyajima
October 24, 2005
Undergraduate Admissions Assistant Denise Miyajima never thought she'd learn to build a fence, mix concrete and tie rebar -- or that her coworkers would want to learn, too. It's kept her busy the past year, however, after being selected by Habitat for Humanity to own a home in San Francisco.
Miyajima's current two-room, in-law apartment is small enough that there are no secrets between her and her two children. The family has survived the challenges of living in tight quarters -- cooking with little counter space, seeking a quiet spot for the children to do homework, and most of all, living in places that don't feel like "home."
So last fall the excitement had to be contained when a Habitat for Humanity volunteer called and said her family was selected as a "partner" in the De Long Terrace Homes project. Miyajima asked him, "You mean I get the house?"
"We screamed, and the kids were jumping up and down," said Miyajima, who assists prospective students and applicants at the undergraduate admissions counter at the One-Stop Student Services Center. "I had to calm them down so I could hear what he was saying."
Miyajima's family was one of four chosen, among about 200 who applied, to own new homes near Daly City BART. The 1,231-square-foot house will have three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a one-car garage and a small backyard. They plan to move in during the summer.
"With something to hand down to my children, they won't have that hopeless feeling I had for so many years," Miyajima said. "A lot of the stress and anxiety about our future is just gone."
Miyajima, a single mother, was previously only able to dream about owning property in her hometown. She has never wanted to leave her job nor San Francisco. Miyajima and her children -- Christian, 12, and Taylor, 10 -- love the city, but not its high cost of living.
In exchange for investing 500 hours of "sweat equity" labor to help build the home, Miyajima will buy it for $243,000 with a 30-year mortgage of zero-percent interest. The median price for a single-family home in San Francisco is more than $750,000.
Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization, has built more than 200,000 homes for low-income families.
Many of Miyajima's SFSU colleagues have asked to help build the house. "People I don't even know keep asking when they can volunteer," she said.
Kathy Burke, an undergraduate admissions counselor, has known Miyajima since 1979. At the time, Burke worked at SFSU with Miyajima's mother, Aida, and Denise was in the eighth grade.
"She's such a good person and been through so much," Burke said. "She is a great mom and raising great kids, so people naturally want to help her. To know her is to love her."
The Miyajimas are already looking forward to potlucks with friends and coworkers, walks to restaurants and the movie theater, and slumber parties -- activities that weren't feasible in previous living situations.
Getting a dog, however, will have to wait an additional year. "I want them to first see how clean the house can be," she said with a laugh.

Contact Information
Dorothy Pauly, Chapter President
The Chicago Chapter was originally chartered in 1907. Records indicate that 70 ladies attended the first meeting. By 1916 there were 1,248 members including 302 gentlemen and their dues were $6.00 for ladies and $5.00 for gentlemen.
The Chapter remained active until 1978. At hat time the then President, Mrs. Don Reuben, notified National that the Chapter would disband due to the drastic increase in baby clothing costs coupled with the resistance of the membership to increse the current dues.
In December, 1995, Jane Krez Helmer re-activated the Chapter in an effort to rekindle the charity in which she participated as a young child with her mother. Although the Chapter today is small, it continues to be active in service of children for the love of the Christ Child.
Layettes - Distributed annually to Chicago Catholic Charities Adoption Department and Suburban Family Services; area Hospitals serving needy families; The Courage Program assisting unemployed and under employed; and neighborhood PADS hosting the homeless.
Happy Back to School Packs - New Back Packs are filled with school supplies and distributed to grade school children.
My Stuff Bags - Through the guidance and direction of a Sister Chapter we provide a reusable bag with clothing necessities for children forced out of their homes due to domestic violence.
Christmas Apostolate - We partner with families of a local Catholic grade school offering new and gently used clothing, appliances and canned food to the homeless and less fortunate families. The Christmas season gathering serves hot dinner to all.

The Alliance 45 is a mega-group made up of many survivor groups that employs innovative strategies and tactics and especially large-scale coordination to restore a sense of humanity to key areas of Malton. It was borne from a June 2009 discussion at the Joint Forum of The New Malton Colossus. The Corleone Family's vito the don returned to the game and rallied to reunite the New Malton Colossus. The Cannonball Crew's legendary leader, Tony Blair, contributed a post on strategies and tactics, which inspired Leon Silverblood to form what would become the Alliance 45.
The Alliance 45 capitalizes on the structure already in place in each of its member groups. All groups are encouraged to send representatives to participate in the planning and discussion of group missions. After objectives and assignments are agreed upon, each group decides on its own course of action and how best to achieve the overall goal. This eliminates the need for additional leadership or hierarchy within the alliance.
A number of hardworking volunteers have taken on certain roles to lend guidance and organization:
The Alliance 45 welcomes all pro-survivor groups that want to make a bigger impact in Malton. Our membership consists of some of the finest men, women, children and animals that Malton has ever seen.
We have contacts all over Malton waiting to hear from you. Use one of the methods below to reach us or get in touch with any of the friendly member groups above.
Only hours before the launch of Operation Colt Trooper, a sweep of Roftwood showed the suburb had been under organized attack. Members of Minions of the Apocalypse were observed assaulting safehouses and resource buildings. In his capacities as ambassador, Leon Silverblood visited their forum. While at least one zed showed interest in ripping his kidneys out through his nostrils, Leon was impressed with their civility and good humor. Meanwhile, the alliance recovered most of the suburb and considered their newest enemy—the only zed force to give them even a moments pause so far. The coming battle would speak volumes about all concerned. As of this writing, the battle is ongoing.
June 10, 2009 - While it did not secure the Quartly Library, the Alliance 45 did secure 80% of the suburb. Early on in the reclamation of Roftwood, the nearby Nichols Mall in Stanbury Village was endangered and the Alliance 45 moved quickly to assist. A testament to its rapid response time, the Alliance 45 was first alerted about the situation at Nichols on June 8th and then planned and launched an operation a mere two days later. However Nichols Mall fell on the same day as the planned assault so the invasion of Stanbury Village was forestalled. The Alliance then approached The Kilt Store and suggested that they recover their decimated forces in Roftwood as plans continued to be ironed out. The Kilt Store accepted and Operation Colt Comrades was relaunched on June 13th.
In a meticulously planned and tightly coordinated assault spearheaded by the Cannonball Crew and the Army Control Corps with reinforcements from 8 of the 11 other Alliance 45 member groups, the force gained control of the suburb within 6 hours and had over 90% of Stanbury Village back in human hands. The Kilt Store then recaptured Nichols Mall. The total area occupied by the Alliance 45 and its allies extended to roughly 200 city blocks. While victory was clear and absolute by the evening of June 14th, the operation was officially closed on June 18th. An occupying force was left behind to monitor and maintain the suburb as the rest of the Alliance embarked on Operation Colt Trooper.
June 4, 2009 - Operation Colt .45 was an assault on the Quartly Library to retake it from the alleged zerger Wigglytuff. As many as five attempts by other groups had previously failed, so the Alliance 45 met with significant ambivalence from potential allies. However its first joint operation was a resounding success with the capture of the suburb using disproportionately minimal manpower. It garnered high marks and created a quiet buzz among large groups such as the DEM and RRF. A 9-man force—consisting mostly of the Cannonball Crew and a few members from the Malton Rangers and Quartly Study Group—took one quarter of the suburb immediately and held it while reinforcements arrived. Gathering momentum and allies, 80% of the suburb was under Alliance 45 control within a week.
It should be noted that the Alliance 45 never actually captured or held the Quartly Library despite Leon Silverblood's numerous attempts to make contact with the Quartly Study Group's leadership. Although Leon Silverblood assembled a team to clear it of zombies and repair it to keep the AP repair cost down, the Alliance's focus soon shifted to the next mission (Operation Colt Comrades). Meanwhile, sexualharrison and The Know Nothings arrived and successfully cleared and barricaded the Quartly Library. The library held for two days before being overrun by Wigglytuff and company.

Does 700 Word Essay Look Like
Though Alexander Hamilton was never President of the United States, his social and political significance within American history has been just as great--if not greater--than that of President. In fact, his impact is so great, that in reflecting on American history, it is easy to see how any intelligent historian might think Hamilton served a tenure as president. And while, by the letter of the law, he was never actually president, practically speaking, he might as well have been.
Hamilton was born in 1755, in the British West Indies. He died at the age of 49, on July 11, 1804, in a battle in Weehawken, New Jersey. During those 49 years, he served in the Revolutionary Army as Lieutenant Colonel, fought endlessly and bravely for ratification of the Constitution, was significant in establishing the first governmental tools for managing the national economy, and of course, served as an aide, friend, advisor, and most likely, lover to George Washington.*
However, despite this perfectly understandable confusion, it is generally accepted, in historical retrospect, that Hamilton was way, way smarter than Washington and probably should have been President, even though he was technically never elected as such. The most compelling piece of evidence for this argument is Hamilton's economic foresight and intelligence. He is occasionally remembered as the economic wizard of his time, a title which Washington, due to his complete stupidity, was never afforded. It was Hamilton's genius that lay the financial groundwork for today's sophisticated economy, and it was also Hamilton's deep mistrust of the American populace that established the advanced systems of checks and balances that today's economy relies on.
Though many people scorned poor Hamilton for this belief, he persevered, continuing his work because of a deep, abiding love of America. In one particularly heroic story, it is said that Hamilton sat at his desk, his face streaming with tears--due to the the rocks people were throwing at him--and continued to compose the very economic policy that is in place today. Meanwhile, several people were offering libations and oral sex to a jealous Washington, who was at the time sitting by, scoffing and leading the pack of insults being hurled at Hamilton.
Nevertheless, Hamilton never begrudged Washington, or the American people, for their misunderstanding of his genius. Presently, in the wake of economic catastrophes such as Enron, it is Hamilton's policy that has helped to quell America's great greed and selfishness.
I ask you, ladies and gentleman, what makes a president in the United States of America? Is it a title? Is it a vote? Is it a chair in the White House? Or is it the dedication that one individual has to the land of the free and the home of the brave? To serving a people, while the individuals belonging to that body do not even have one tiny ounce of appreciation for him? Isn't Alexander Hamilton the very definition of patriotism, of an individual who rose to the occasion in a time when rising was the hardest possible choice?
Today, the sad truth about the institution of academic history is that anyone, even the moronic, believe they can intelligently comment on historical events. Some such people have suggested that Hamilton's significance can be measured in his title. In fact, one such audacious critic actually suggested that, by confusing Hamilton with Washington, I had not "even bothered to research it." It is extremely likely that this critic can be only one of two things: a descendant of Washington himself, or mentally retarded.
Either way, it is clear that my understanding of Alexander Hamilton is enormous, and it is these types of critics that add to America's great misunderstanding of one of the most brilliant men who ever lived, a man who most certainly should have been President. As stated, Hamilton basically was President, or at least should have been, if not for a bunch of idiots, whose misguided thinking still exists today. I beg of you, the American people, stop the unjust reputation that clings to the memory of Alexander Hamilton and see him for the patriot he was. A smart, beautiful man, who asked for nothing more than to serve a people who hated him.
God bless you, Hamilton. And God bless AMERICA!
* Many Friends and acquaintances of the two men often got them confused. It is even rumored that Martha Washington, after mistaking Alexander for George in the dark one night, went on to have a lengthy affair with Alexander. There is also some speculation that Martha's children were fathered by Alexander, though George was given the credit.
The word count for a page will vary depending on font size and type, margin size, and spacing elements (single/double space, blank lines, subheadings, graphics).
For a page with 1 inch margins, 12 point Times New Roman font, and minimal spacing elements, a good rule of thumb is 500 words for a single spaced page and 250 words for a double spaced page. Using this as an example, a 3-4 page double spaced paper is 750-1000 words, and a 7 page double spaced paper would be 1750 words.
Assignments often specify a research paper or essay length in terms of words, rather than pages - a paper of 750-1000 words or a paper of 1500-1750 words. This way a student's paper will still meet their instructor's length expectations, regardless of varying font size, margin size, or use spacing elements.
When viewing an electronic version of a student paper in MicroSoft Word, the exact word count can be easily determined. Some research assignments require students to include the word count of their paper.
Also, clarify with your instructor whether the words on the title page, abstract (if used), and reference list count toward the expected word/page count.

Ridley Scott's brings his trademark visual flair to this historical blockbuster based around the Crusades and gives Orlando Bloom his first major leading role as a blacksmith who becomes a battling defender of Jerusalem. Jeremy Irons and Liam Neeson bring old school gravitas and Eva Green the romantic interest, but the epic battle scenes are the movie's dominant driving force.

Director Ridley Scott turns his attention to the Crusades after dabbling in modern day Africa (Black Hawk Down) and ancient Rome (Gladiator).
Carrying the burden of the big-budget, high-end special effects extravaganza is Orlando Bloom, whose previous lead role was the low-budget Brit pic The Calcium Kid.
As you might expect from Scott, it's a visual treat, with the gore-splattered pitched battle setpieces an accomplished exercise in gore and lyricism.
But the raw emotion of the revenge story that fired Gladiator is missing from a movie that - although stirring - rarely engages the emotions.
Bloom plays a widowed French blacksmith - Balian - tempted out his empty home with the appearance of his father, Godfrey of Ibelin (Neeson).
He's no pushover - "I once fought for two days with an arrow through my testicle" - and gets sterling support from sword-wielding priest, David Thewlis.
A highly regarded ally of the king of Jerusalem, Godfrey tempts Balian - an honourable man of almost saintly conscience - to join him on a trip to the Holy Land.
Trouble is brewing with the devious leader of the Templar Knights - Guy de Lusignan (Marton Czokas) - determined to provoke all-out war with the Saracens.
Just to complicate matters, Guy's wife, Princess Sybilla, (Eva Green) only has (heavily kohled) eyes for goody two swords, Balian.
Bloom - although a rougher, tougher prospect than his Legolas the elf in the Lord of the Rings trilogy - doesn't have the brooding macho of Russell Crowe.
It also seems a remarkably tolerant time - Christians, Muslims and Jews live happily together in Jerusalem despite the best efforts of dodgy Guy. And he's French.
Indeed, all creeds and races seem happy to give each other the benefit of the doubt and fight shy of plunging a broadsword into your head just for the hell of it.
Where Scott does score highly is the distinctly un-Hollywood direction the plot takes, neatly sidestepping the sort of flag-waving nonsense that has marred other historical sagas.

text: Hey guys and gals, I recently purchased Tube Toolbox, and I must say..it's going pretty good. I was hoping to grab the attention of some people who've had experience with it in the past. My ultimate goal is to obviously get more views and subscribers. This is what I've been doing to achieve this (ps, im a musician and I cover songs / post them): 1. I gather users 2. I send mass friend requests to them, AND automatically subscribe to them after. the result, I've about 200 friends as of 3 days ago, and roughly 20 people have subscribed to me. **Are there any other more EFFICIENT / EFFECTIVE ways to get MORE subscribers, which would lead to more views, strictly using this program?** I know you guys are good for it, thank you. PS, I'm looking for Legal ways too. hahaha

IDG– Intimate, Dependable God– Yes, that is how God is: our own, and absolutely dependable and trustworthy. The day we put complete faith in Him alone, we realize this. I have experienced this through my mentor for so many years. Ishwar Devi Gupta wrote her initials as IDG, and truly her life was nothing, but IDG: Intimately Depending on God. A follower of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa she had a godly core in her heart and never had an iota of even the spiritual ego about her being so privileged to receive God's grace and command. All things, she said, are drafted and driven by God: make your plans but surrender them to God for only His plan works out.
She told me that you would find many people good at preaching or singing in the temples, but when you go to their homes, you find their lives in a mess. You cannot know a person's walk with God from a person's actions in a temple. You should closely see a person, in his daily life to know if s/he has a real character of God. I did not understand it fully at that time. But since I had developed a lot of love and respect for her, I started going to her home and started helping her in God's work on a daily basis. The first day I went to her, she gave me a small emblem having Ma Sarada's (the Holy Mother's) saying on it: Many are known to do great works under the stress of some strong emotion. But a man's true nature is known from the manner in which he does his insignificant daily tasks. (Insignificant daily tasks are like cleaning your house, cleaning your bathroom, making your bed, keeping your children clean, treating your neighbor, treating your maid, treating your elders and many more). I now realize what it meant.
One day a middle-aged male devotee came and said to her that he wanted to learn spirituality. She asked him: do you know how to knead the dough? And when he said no, she asked him to learn and practice it first before he even thinks of knowing spirituality. This, she said, was necessary for a person to become self-dependent. If you cannot sustain yourself and are dependent on someone else to fulfill your smallest and so basic need of yours (i.e. to be able to feed yourself), you can never attain God. Also, it helps to smother the ego. For being dependent on God, you need to learn to be dependent on yourself alone first.
About trust: She told me one day, 'you cannot give what you do not have.' 'Your trust in others is not your trust in their person, but in God, and He will return your trust manifold.'
She also emphasized on always remembering your weaknesses. The point she emphasized was, by remembering your weaknesses and submitting them to God, you ask for forgiveness, and grace from Him. She would tell me: 'Put your best in your work and do not rest till it is finished completely. After that pray to God and surrender your work to Him not expecting a reward, but only blessings and love from Him. Praise God because it is He who got it done from you. And thus, you will always be at peace.'
Work according to her, was not a means to live, but a worship of God who rewards you with a living and His company. One thing that struck me deep inside the heart is her saying: 'You should stretch and try to climb up to God, rather than bring Him down for your convenience.' We desperately seek God, when we are in need, but at other times, we do not even remember Him. But if we make Him our own and put Him first, we will find Him with us at all times.
And this was the best thing she told me: God is the most important person in your life. Always keep Him first and He will never fail you. There are many more things to write. But the key to all her wisdom is: how to love God, make Him your own and put Him first in your life, and thus enjoy daily living! -Vinay Mehta

That all changed in 2008 when I went to see the Twilight movie with my daughter. She was getting annoyed with me when the movie ended because I kept asking questions about what was going to happen in New Moon. Finally she said "read the books"… the little shit would not let me read her beloved Twilight Saga. I purchase the entire saga and then moved onto The Mortal Instruments series by Casandra Clare and that's how my excitement for Young Adult books started.
I eventually starting gravitating into other genres, Romance, Historical, Contemporary, Paranormal, Mystery and Thrillers, Classics and some Erotica. Towards the end of last year, 2016, I was getting frustrated and fed-up with the Romance genre, it was either insta-love or a tortured past… it was all beginning to read the same. Don't get me started on the sex scenes… I was ready to throw my kindle against the wall. This year I decided to take a break from Romance (a read here and there) and get back into the other genres that I truly enjoyed. I'm looking forward to my reading goals this year and I hope you stay along with me! ~ Jovi

Bronze Age Factory Discovered in JordanPublication: National Geographic News Date: June 25, 2002 View Article
Archaeologists working at a desert site in Jordan have excavated a large and very well-preserved copper factory from the Early Bronze Age. The discovery is providing insight into metal production as the first urban cultures emerged.
"This unique find gives us a remarkable window on the role of craft production in some of the earliest urban societies in the world," said Thomas Levy, an archaeologist at the University of California–San Diego, who led the excavation.

Keep in mind that I'm extremely picky and usually either "dislike" a video or "love" it. These are comments from only watching the video; I didn't actually do it.
The music is great; some is from PowerMax and the rest is just as good. Gay is a good instructor and the step moves are intermediate/advanced.
There's a very brief upperbody Dynaband/light weight workout and a better lower body workout within the step sections.
Here's what I don't like. The set is one giant ad for Avia. There are very distracting, large red Avia graphics on the floor and the back wall. The Avia step is very narrow and wobbly - also very distracting. There are a lot of bizarre camera shots that are extremely distracting and make the video very hard to follow. The picture continually switches from color to black and white, and also occasionally splits into about 10 small squares -- each having the same picture. Many shots are from the ceiling, making it hard to see what the exercisers are doing. There are other special effect shots that I can't even describe.
If you can get past all the distractions, you might like this video. I have many others that I enjoy a lot more, and exchanged this one immediately. If you don't mind the visual effects in Strong and Smooth Moves, you might really like this video.

This video is rated Intermediate and I would have to agree with that rating level. The workout consists of a warm-up followed by 3 stepping/toning segments. The step segment is done first and then the toning. A dynaband and dumbells are used in the toning sections. The step sections are fairly simple with each section being an add-on and the whole thing is done from "the top" in each section. This is not a "kick butt" workout but something you might want to do occasionally or when you are tired. I probaby won't do this video a lot but I definitely will keep it. I found I didn't mind the set or the strange special effects that appeared once in a awhile but I can see that if might annoy some people.
Sue Jones
I really enjoyed this video. I've been a Gay Gasper fan even though I think her earlier videos don't do her enough justice. I'm glad she finally did a full-length video by herself. Step-N-Stones is about 50 minutes long. It's structured around intervals -- you step for about 6-8 minutes, then you do toning for about 6-8 minutes. The step routine is built progressively throughout the intervals. She continues to add onto the step routine during each 6-8 minute segment, so you're not doing the same thing over and over OR trying to learn something new in 6 minutes. The step routine that you do in the very last interval is very fun. The moves include: walking diagonally across the bench, over the top, step touches around the bench, and hop turns. The moves aren't really complicated, but Gay blends them into a routine that takes you around all four corners of the bench. There's even this great shuffle repeater move, which is probably the most complicated, intense move in the video. It took me a while to get it, but it's a nice high impact move that spices things and keeps the workout energizing. The cuing, by the way, is great. I kept the intensity up (and I'm an advanced exerciser) by going through full range of motion. Many of the moves involve overhead arm motions, which can actually be very tiring. I actually found that the aerobic part of this intermediate video could easily tip towards the lower advanced range with an 8" step and if you add propulsions.
The toning will disappoint hard core Firm fans. The segments are short, and don't really fatigue you like the "peak hold contracts" in the Firm. Gay also doesn't look like she's using very heavy weights. The toning moves are tried and true standards (delt raises with dynaband, tricep kick backs with weights, pec work with a dynaband), and you'll probably get more out of them if you use heavier weights. For me, I just treat as a boredom buster that keeps the routine moving. The lower body workout is more intense than the upper body. It has lots of lunges and squats using the step for resistance. Gay tries to keep your feet moving during the toning, so your heart rate doesn't drop. Mine did, but not majorly.
The setting is a little distracting. The split screens seems sort of amateurship and didn't really add much to make the video more motivating. Not a huge problem for me, but occasionally made the routine a little confusing.
Personality-wise, Gay is motivating and no-nonsense, without being boring. I think of her as really nice, genuine, teacher. She doesn't whoop or make jokes, but she exhorts you and her group to work harder. She smiles alot and really seems to enjoy doing this. She even thanks her Grandma in the credits.

always enthusiastic and motivating without being
too perky, and her cueing is extremely good.

I've only recently been introduced to Gay Gasper and I've really enjoyed her shorter tapes that I've gotten through the exchange. I was really excited to get this tape and unfortunately I was VERY disappointed. The other reviewers of this tape have mentioned the distracting set and effects but I didn't think that would bother me. Most of the Reebok tapes have distracting sets and Reebok logos everywhere and they really haven't bothered me, but this is a whole other order of magnitude. The huge red/white/black Avia logos are set against a sea green background and there is no distinct line between the floor and the walls, so the exercisers sort of look like they're floating in space. The goofy video toaster effects are not only annoying, they make it very hard to follow a routine that really isn't that tough. The sound levels also fluctuated quite a bit, which added to the problem. I was very frustrated and didn't even finish the tape (I got about 2/3 of the way through and then watched the rest on fast forward). I will not do this tape again.
If you're an intermediate level exerciser looking for a good circuit workout try Keli Roberts Real Fitness Circuit Training or Step Reebok Circuit Challange instead.
Instructor comments: Gay Gasper is a very likable instructor. She cues well and shows good form. Most of the routines I've seen have had relatively easy but still interesting choreography. Gay is perky but not offensively so, she kind of reminds me of Dorothy Hamill or Katie Couric.
Paula Lewis
The set is very dazzling, full of lights and attractive clothing. The use of 2 cast members is very nice, however, I can't see a "non-fit" person being in a position to purchase this video. Its only gfor sale through instructor outlets as far as I can tell. The cast member offering a more intense version of what Gay is performing needs to concentrate more on form and less on high-impact intensity, again that "ballistic" steppng method is coming out loud and clear. And, this is not the way we want instructors and participants stepping.
Instructor comments: I really enjoy Gay's approach to choreography. She always "uses" her bench and the floor space by making transitions at every angle on and off the bench, thus creates very easy to follow, but challenging choreography. I am concerned with the ballistic stepping moves down from the top of the bench. Injuries result from not stepping down onto the floor with the entire foot (over time). Very good cues and options for increasing/decreasing intensity. However, the use of hand weights on the bench for the strength intervals is inappropriate. ACE guidelines suggest that weights not be used while stepping. I believe use of hand weights continues to promulgate the fiction surrounding musclar strength increases and light weights. Also, Gay needs to be accurately aware of the muscle names and their locations (occasional references to muscles that are not acting during that particular segmenat of motion).
Irene Lewis McCormick
After enjoying Step and Stones II, I had to buy this video. It's the same format as II, but Gay uses a shorter step, and the special effects are more noticeable, but I judge a video on the instructor, cueing, music and choreography, and this video has those attributes. I listened more than I watched and was able to do the routine on my first try. It is an intermediate step routine and I used 8 lb. handweights and a dynaband during the light toning segments. It's an adequate workout to sandwich in between tough days (like MIS, BM, PS). Since I do very long workouts, I combined this video with Power Kicks and had a great time. I will also use this video in combination with Step and Stones II to give me a full 90 minute workout. Like I said in my other review, I never enjoyed circuit workouts, but Step and Stones changed my mind.
Instructor comments: Gay is an excellent instructor or should do more videos. She reminds me of Nancy Popp.
maryann parker
I am the type of person who typically loves or hates a video. I LOVE this Step n' Stones. When I did Step n' Stones for the first time, I'd received it along with 3 other videos from Collage. I usually work out every-other-day and was looking forward to a whole week of doing new videos. After doing Step n' Stones the first day, I also did Step n' Stones the next workout and the next. It wasn't until the following week that I even tried the other new tapes.
What do I like about this video? First, Gay's cueing is top, top notch. She cues far enough in advance, uses the same words and tone of voice for repeated segments, and is very precise. For example, in most videos whenever there is a "walk around the step" move, I always have to do a stutter-step at the end to get on the right foot for the next step segment. Gay's cueing, "over the step, tap, 1,2,3,4, step" was so precise, I never ended up on the wrong foot (amazing for me). Second, the step component is fun, with enough variety and complexity to keep me interested, but not so many step patterns that I always feel lost. I prefer intermediate complexity for choreography, and that's how I'd label this tape. Third, I appreciate that the segments are longer than in some circuit videos (like Reebok Step Circuit Challenge) because you actually feel like you know what you are doing before moving on to the next segment. Fourth, I also appreciated the fact that Gay did the intermediate workout, with relatively few propulsions, while a background exerciser did the high propulsion moves. I think its easier for advanced exercisers to add propulsion than for those of us who prefer low impact to try to remove cued propulsion moves.
Let me also comment on my criticisms of the video. First, I like the music for this video a great deal, but I find that the audio levels vary considerably, with the music occasionally overwhelming the cueing. Second, I also dislike the set and camera angles. In fact, after previewing the tape, I almost returned it to Collage without actually doing the tape. When I actually did the video, however, I found these things didn't detract from the workout. The weird camera angles almost only appear when you are doing repetitions of moves you've already learned, so precise close-ups aren't as necessary. The steps are fairly easy to follow, so after the first time through, I enjoyed having the music be a stronger component of the tape.
A third criticism I have of this tape is one I have of some other circuit videos. Working your pectorals while standing upright and using an exertube just doesn't work for me. I find that at this angle I work my shoulders, but get very little fatigue where I'm supposed to. While I like the "keep your feet moving" style, I would prefer to do pushups or some type of reclined presses that actually work my chest. I have this same problem in Kelly Robert's circuit video.
When it comes down to it, the most important component is: among the 25 tapes I have, do I keep returning to this one? The answer to that questions is, YES! I give this video an A.
Instructor comments: Gay Gasper is an excellent instructor. Her cueing is precise, her choreography is enjoyable, and she's a joy to watch. Gay is one of my favorite instructors. I'd buy another Gay Gasper tape without hesitation.

LASIK and Tax Deductions
LASIK surgery to correct eyesight is considered by most accountants to be a legitimate medical expense and the good news it that it can be tax deductible. On a bill which is likely to be anywhere from two to four thousand dollars, that can be a considerable savings on overall taxes paid on income.
In the past, LASIK surgery, which stands for Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis, has been deemed a gray area under tax law. However it is a surgical procedure to correct a physical defect and therefore cannot be deemed to be cosmetic surgery. Any medical procedure which is for the "treatment, prevention or cure of an ailment affecting the structure or function of the body" is a tax deductible expense. This makes the procedure deductible under section 213, so grab a 1040 form and make your claim! Surprisingly few patients who have LASIK surgery actually make the claim, but this is likely to be out of ignorance rather than for any other reason. Every year LASIK surgery is performed on hundreds of thousands of Americans amounting to a huge sum of money spent on the procedure, which could be tax deductible.
As always with the IRS, there are a few rules to be aware of. Medical expenses can only be deducted from tax if they exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. This is known as the adjusted gross income limitation (AGI) for unreimbursed medical expenses. This means that if you earn $10,000 per year and you spend $1200 on legitimate medical expenses as defined above, you can only deduct $450 from your taxes. The first $750 (7.5%) is not allowed. However, LASIK surgery runs at several thousand dollars, and when added to other legitimate medical expenses including medications, it brings the amount claimable usually well above that 7.5% threshold. Any other bills for surgery, crutches, medications and travel expenses to and from those procedures now fall into the tax deductible bracket. A little tax planning may be beneficial here. If more than one member of the family needs LASIK or other surgery, it is best to do it all in the same tax year. Although the first bill may not be tax-deductible, all the other bills above the 7.5% AGI are. If they were spread over several years, each year they may never exceed the AGI and could not be claimed, but lumped together they can be.
More good news from the IRS while they are in this charitable frame of mind is that travel allowances to and from LASIK surgery are also allowable. As you are unlikely to be driving yourself to and from the doctor's surgery, a taxi fare is reasonable, or at the very least bus fare. Although getting a stamped receipt from the bus driver is not going to happen, keep your ticket as proof of the journey.
You can deduct the cost of paying for hospital meals and lodging if your eye surgery requires an overnight stay. Finally, you can also deduct the cost of LASIK surgery for your spouse and dependant children as an allowable expense, just as you can for the cost of accident, health and long-term care insurance.
As with any tax calculation it is wise to consult your CPA before making any expenses regarding possible tax-deductible expenses. Tax law is a huge and specialized field and the rules change continually. However, knowing your rights can help you to know what is likely to be tax-deductible so you don't pay any more than you have to for your LASIK surgery.

Wow, I had no idea that Lasik
Wow, I had no idea that Lasik surgery was tax deductible! It would be nice to get some money back for the procedure. Where can I find more information about this? On the IRS's website?

Hush darling
And let's keep this strictly obsessional
My choice of words have got you quivering
And your legs are in the hands of a professional
Say something
Where are you hiding with that boyish charm?
Your lack of words has got me quivering
As I tighten the grip on your arm.
Say something
But nobody move
You could be anyone at all
(And I'll make you anything I want)
You could be anything at all
(Tell me I'm everything you want)
Cutie pie, What were you saying?
I was touching up my eyes
What's that you say about the pace at which we're moving?
And how it doesn't suit your stride
Tell me, love
What do you think about the color in my hair?
I thought I'd compliment the hatred in your eyes
Now we're a jaw dropping affair
Tell me everything
And I'll tell you anything I want
I'll put it there and you'll leave it alone, Nobody move, Nobody move x2
I'll put it there and you'll leave it alone, Nobody move, Nobody move x2
Say something

Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights, will receive on Thursday evening the New York State United Teachers' Albert Shanker Award for Distinguished Service - the union's most prestigious award recognizing special contributions made to public education in the United States. Kennedy will be honored for her work in establishing the Speak Truth to Power human rights curriculum, which in conjunction with NYSUT, was introduced in schools throughout New York state in November. Through lesson plans developed by classroom teachers, the curriculum introduces students to human rights defenders from across the globe. Based on Kennedy's book of the same name, the Speak Truth to Power curriculum ultimately aims to encourage students to abandon the role of "bystander" and, instead, work to affect positive change in the world in which they live. NYSUT previously partnered with the RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights and Kerry Kennedy to develop the Speak Up, Speak Out curriculum, providing students lessons and resources designed to instill the concept of social justice and the principles of a just society, which are the cornerstones of Robert F. Kennedy's legacy. "Kerry Kennedy's contributions to public education are immeasurable," said NYSUT President Richard C. Iannuzzi. "Her work and commitment toward inspiring our students to speak up and speak out about human rights by fighting inequality and championing social justice will ensure the powerless are given a voice and an opportunity to improve their lives. "In order to ensure a just society, there is no greater lesson our students could learn," Iannuzzi said, "and there is no one more deserving of this prestigious honor than Kerry Kennedy." "NYSUT's leadership, members, actions, and most importantly, courage demonstrate a deep and abiding commitment to the protection of human rights and the empowerment of young people to create change," said Kerry Kennedy. "In spirit and in practice, NYSUT embodies Speak Truth to Power." By receiving NYSUT's top honor, Kennedy follows in the footsteps of her aunt, the late Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who was awarded the Albert Shanker Award in 2003 for her lifelong work with the Special Olympics and increasing the opportunities available for children with disabilities. Kennedy will be presented the Albert Shanker Award Thursday evening during NYSUT's annual Representative Assembly. She will deliver an address to the union following the award presentation. The union's annual policymaking convention, attended by some 3,000 delegates, staff and guests, is being held Thursday through Saturday at the New York Hilton in midtown Manhattan at 1335 Avenue of the Americas. Albert Shanker, namesake of the union's highest honor, was a longtime labor leader of the American Federation of Teachers and a NYSUT co-founder. NYSUT, the state's largest union, represents more than 600,000 teachers, school-related professionals, academic and professional faculty in higher education, professionals in education and health care and retirees. The union is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers, National Education Association and the AFL-CIO. - 30 -

Hello all,
As many of you all will be aware Zoe (Zoella) recently released her beauty range 'Zoella Beauty'. Just like many others I was extremely excited to get my hands on some of her products. As soon as it was released in my local super drug store I was straight down there to buy whatever I could. The products were so popular that almost everything was out of stock so I was left with 'Soak Opera' and 'Let's Glow' which were high up on the list of things I was most excited about. I was slightly disappointed by the fact Superdrug had run out of 'Blissful Mistful' which I got to test in store and smelt amazing. So lets start by reviewing these two items.
Soak Opera:
Well I guess the first place to start with this is the packaging! It's super cute and so Zoe. That's what I particularly like about this range; it reflects Zoe in so many ways. The bottle size is perfect and I can tell it'll last me a while. I do love a good bubble bath and tend to go a bit over the top when it comes to bubbles but I used a fair bit of this and it hardly left a dent. The scent is exactly how I like it light and fresh. I guess you could say it was slightly floral/fruity. One things for sure this scent definitely isn't is overpowering. The scent sticks to you for a fair while after the bath which is also an added bonus. The cream is in no way drying on the skin leaving it feeling super soft. Finally probably the thing I love most about this product is the fact it's bubble bath but you're also able to use it in the shower as a shower cream! I can tell i'll be using this time and time again.
Let's Glow:
Anyone that knows me would tell you candles are literally my favourite thing! I could spend an absolute fortune on scented candles so when I heard Zoe was releasing her own scented candle I could hardly contain my excitement. This scent is super light and goes perfectly with the scent of 'Soak Opera'. It's the perfect candle to have lit in the autumn or whilst having a pamper evening as the scent is in no way over powering. The packaging is once again adorable and I especially love the fact it comes in a tin accompanied with a lid. This makes it perfect for storing avoiding damage and allowing you to get the most out of the candle.
Have you tried any of Zoe's products yet? What do you recommend I try next?
Lots of love
Jessica x

Release Notes 2011-10-19
From SpiralKnights
Shadows Fall Over Cradle!
|From the Release Notes:
We've got some exciting additions to the Clockworks included in this release. The bravest, most elite knights can take on the most challenging levels to date in Shadow Lairs and everyone can celebrate the Dark Harvest Festival with visits to the Punkin King!
Shadow Lair Overview
The Clockwork Terminal on floor 23 now contains a new area north of the elevator leading to several 'Shadow Lairs.' These mysterious elevators contain the most fearsome challenges found in the Clockworks.
Shadow Lairs are intended for knights equipped with Tier 3 gear, specifically geared toward each Shadow Lair which includes:
Shadow Lair Rewards
All Shadow Lairs feature the following rewards:
Accessing a Shadow Lair
Shadow Lairs are grouped into three ranks. All knights with Tier 3 clearance automatically gain Shadow Lair Clearance 1. Completing a Shadow Lair Rank 1 earns you clearance into the next rank and so on.
The highest Shadow Lair Clearance Level of anyone in the party is respected. Not everyone needs the same rank to join a party in a Shadow Lair.
Shadow Keys
Shadow Lairs require a Shadow Key to access. Only one key is needed for the entire party. A Shadow Key is destroyed once used.
Shadow Keys can be found in ANY Iron Lockbox or from the Auction House if available.
The Dark Harvest Festival
The Dark Harvest Festival is now being celebrated in Haven and will end on November 1st! This annual event honors the mischievous Punkin King in order to ensure a healthy fall harvest. All Clockwork Tunnels-style levels like Power Complexes and Blast Chambers now have a chance of featuring special rooms inhabited by the Punkin King. Simply hop on the party pad and discover if the Punkin King has candy tokens or something else in store for you!
Candy tokens come in three varieties (Hard Candy, Sour Candy and Sweet Candy) and can be exchanged in the Haven Town Square for festive masks! Masks include:
In case you're just a few pieces of candy shy of the mask you desire, candy tokens can also be purchased in the Haven Town Square. However, they are very expensive!
Remember, this event ends November 1st so collect all the candy you can and get those masks!

Not Web Design brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 110 Designs von 34 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
A logo for an exiting new SEO web based application that will be seen by many web industry people.
We have designed a logo our selves that you can see here: http://www.automaticbacklinks.com/
We are not totally happy with it, but feel free to use it as inspiration.
Please DO NOT add a tag line!
Automatic Backlinks or automaticbacklinks.com
You need to either design with the words: "Automatic Backlinks" or "AutomaticBacklinks.Com" or "AutomaticBacklinks.com" or "automaticbacklinks.com". I think we have a small preference for the first non domain one.
We will probably favor someone who comes up with a logo that illustrates community sharing of links or swift or fast link exchange.
This is very much a web 2.0 style application with a similar style as Google Analytics etc. And the logo should show this, but we are very open to ideas.
We would like to use blue and orange (or just one of them) in the logo, but you are not restricted to those colors at all. Be creative!
The logo should be in horizontal so that can be used as a header on the site.
Like this:
[x] Automatic Backlinks
- High resolution or vector based logo
- Final logo delivered in both negative/positive (white/black background) in layers so we can change the background
- I will let you know when I see it

So it seems that I am the reigning champion of Sketch Challenges at Discover Scrapbooking. I won the Feb/March Challenge with the layout I did of me in my bridal gown. I was totally shocked and so happy!!
So now I am working on my April submittion. I was told by the other ladies at the crop night last friday, that I was not allowed to enter this month, so they could win one! Maybe I'll still do it tho.... hehe
My "Circle of Friends" is going well at the moment. I am actually behind 1 month, but through no fault of my own as I have not received the album yet, but I have kept up to date by getting other albums early to do and not fall incredibly behind.
I'll be helping Robyn out at the shop again on Saturday. I love going down there and helping her, its not at all like work, more like helping people discover their creative side! I might take something to work on while I'm down there though... maybe my April sketch challenge!!
Anyway.. I should add some pics of what I have been upto... so here goes
Materials Used: Paper - I seriously can't remember what paper this is!! Bazzill Cardstock; Journalling pen
I did a class at Stamp Art Studio, it was like a beginners class to get me on the right track of what Scrapbooking is all about. This was my efforts after my second class. I was pretty impressed with myself!!

Materials used: Basic Grey Origins collection paper and brads; Bazzill Cardstock, paper flowers, loose weave ribbon, twine, journalling pen.
This is the page I completed in my third class at Stamp Art Studio. Thanks Jenny for helping me learn so much.
Materials used: Paper - (I was given this paper by Kim, so I dont even know what it is!), Bazzill Carstock; Embellishments - paper flowers, brad, kindyglitz.
This paper was already heavily embellished, there was not alot I had to do. I matted my photo with pink Bazzill and also cut my letters on my Cricut with the same Bazzill. I copied the quote at the top from some rub ons that I have (kaiser craft).
Materials: Paper - Creative Imaginations, DCWV, cardstock; Embellishments - kaiser stamp, StazOn ink.
We always refer to Mum's partner, Pete, as "Pirate Pete", goodness knows why! This picture was taken on his birthday where they dressed him up as a Pirate with parrot on his shoulder and everything!
I used a sheet music embossing folder with my Cuttlebug to make the "sheet music" behind the photo. I matted the photo with red cardstock, which I also used to cut the title on my Cricut.
Well I guess that is all for now.
Happy crafting!

Dancing on the Chess Horizon
Human Intuition vs. Machine Calculation. When the brain and the heart wins I call this a "Horizon Play" denoted by the symbol ~!
In 2010 I was inspired. I had just met the girl of my dreams and after a whirlwind romantic trip in Chicago I was back in Ohio playing in a chess tournament. Due to my escapade I had to take two byes in the first two rounds so I was basically out of the money, just playing for fun and trying to clear my head.

"Gates for President" group gives up
Submitted by Ty on March 8, 2007 - 3:00pm
There will be no West Coast White House in Redmond; no Air Force One with a Windows-based navigation system; no Vice President Dilbert.
Alas, the "Bill Gates for President" bandwagon, which launched back in November with such promise and fanfare -- thanks primarily to Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams -- has pitched over a cliff and called it quits.

PENTICTON - Two South Okanagan parks have been renamed to reflect traditional First Nation place names.
Environment Minister Mary Polak and Osoyoos Indian Band Chief Clarence Louie made the official announcement, renaming Haynes Point and Okanagan Falls Provincial Parks.
The name changes coincide with the Osoyoos band taking over management of the two parks. McIntyre Bluff will also be renamed.
Haynes Point is now officially known as swiws park (pronouced: swee-yous) which means "where it is shallow or narrow in the middle of the lake."
Okanagan Falls is now sx ex nitk park (pronounced: s-wuh-wuneet-kw) which means "little falls" and signifies a connection to Kettle Falls, which is known as "big falls" in the nsyilxcen language. The two sites were once important fishing sites for the Okanagan Nation.
"Language and place names are of utmost importance to the historical and cultural identity of people from any region of country," Chief Louie said in a media release, noting early French and English settlers were well aware of this based on the fact they renamed places on the map as some of their first actions.
"First Nations language and place names deserve the same respect as their English names — not just in historical context but in a temporary context as well. I am so proud to know that these names will now be formally recognized and acknowledged as part of the political, social and cultural fabric of the province," he said.
Boundary-Similkameen MLA Linda Larson noted the agreement now gives the Osoyoos Indian Band more involvement in park management operations which supports long term protection of cultural values while allowing continued public use and enjoyment.
Both parks remain open with the same recreational opportunities as was offered previously.
The English names will be included in local signage through the transition period to the nsyilxcen names.

THE FIRST weekend of Southport town centre's Section 30 order was "incident free", the Visiter can reveal.
The order provides police with the power to arrest people who are in groups of two or more when they are behaving anti-socially.
The order came into force at midnight on Friday, April 20 and will run to 11.59pm on Sunday October 14 this year and operates every Monday to Sunday 24 hours a day and will be policed on demand.
A police spokesman said: "The first weekend went well, but it's early days yet. It was incident free. There have been plenty of dispersals, but there were no arrests made. It was mainly youths whom were given the warnings."
The town centre area has been deemed a 'designated zone' under the provision of Section 30 of the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003.

Feeling loved comes from the inside? It seems a bit illogical, doesn't it? I feel loved because someone loves me, right? At least, that's the way we tend to think. Ah, but see, that misses a step. I feel loved because I see someone as loving me. My interpretation.
I had an experience that illustrated this. What happened was a shift in perspective. This person I know, I felt like he loved me. It was something new. And the thing is, this shift, it wasn't because he did anything different. In fact, he hadn't done anything new at all: I hadn't recently interacted with him. It was something else entirely, completely separate from him, that inspired my change in thinking. It was me that changed. I felt loved by him, where I hadn't before, because how I saw things changed.
So, yeah, feeling loved can't come from someone else. Other people can only do so much. They can be kind and caring. Or playful. Etc. But it's up to me to see that as loving. Until I can do that, I won't feel loved.

Robert Bagby Photographs and Other Material
A success in his field, Robert C. Bagby (1896-1972) traveled around the world helping to shoot advertisements for various companies and organizations. Awarded the title of "Fellow" in the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain in 1948, by 1953, he closed his firm in New York City and accepted a position at RIT in the university's School of Photography. To our twenty-first-century eyes, Bagby's photography seems to reveal much about the society, culture, and stereotypes of our Western world in regard to the "other."
