Lois VS Evil is the ninth episode of Season 1 of Malcolm in the Middle and the ninth episode overall of the show.
After a mishap of a steam cleaner, Lois finds out that Dewey stole a $150 bottle of cognac from the store where she works. She makes him return it, but she's fired by a tyrannic assistant manager, which leaves the family struggling.Francis, chosen to be part of the color guard at a beauty pageant, gains special backstage access when some of the contestants think he's gay.
The episode starts with the cold open where Lois is washing the dishes and trying to stop Malcolm and Reese from fighting, Dewey saying he hates his brothers, and Hal pretending to work on something, but in fact making a crossword puzzle.
Malcolm is in school, saying how confused he is about Julie Houlerman, about whether she likes him or not. Back at work, Lois and Craig are stocking shelves with condoms, and Craig exclaims how "intense" it is. The boys come in the store and Lois warns them not to mess around with the microphone, the candy, price tags and the register at Lucky Aide. Soon Reese and Malcolm are inspired to play with the steam cleaner, while Dewey is nowhere to be found(possibly told to play on the mechanical horse so he doesn't tell on them). Lois soon discovers them playing with the steam cleaner and punishes them.
At home, Hal talks with Dewey after finding him in his usual hiding place. He tells his father that he's upset with both Reese and Malcolm for forbidding him from letting him play with the steam cleaner and stole something from Lucky Aide. It isn't long until Hal and Lois learns that Dewey stole an expensive bottle of cognac. He apologizes for his actions, but she still makes him return the bottle and apologize to Mr. Pinter. Later on after they return the bottle, Mr. Pinter fires Lois out of spite, leaving the family struggling to make ends meet.
Meanwhile, Stanley and Francis both get jobs as security in the Miss Alabama Pageant. Francis tales the opportunity to socialize with the girls until he learns that they think he's gay.
It's been 10 days since Lois was fired, and Malcolm accidentally tells Julie that he is now poor, so later they decide to make a collective of food in order to give it to them, thanks to Julie and Caroline. When Hal eats rotten peaches, Lois is forced to beg for her job back when she learns about the expensive bill at the hospital. There, she confronts Mr. Pinter and says some strange and bad things that he's done, which humiliates him. Lois tells him that he should be grateful because she's the only one who knows this much about him and that someone else would sell him out. This later proves to be true when Craig and the other co-workers overheard Mr. Pinter's secret now intends to tell the district manager, which causes him to quit immediately to avoid humiliation. Ultimately, Lois finds her life back to normal and now Malcolm is not "poor," and tells that to Julie straight in her face.

- Mr. Pinter:(realizes Lois didn't sign her name, but has just given him a suggestion) It's not a signature.
- Lois: (telling off Mr.Pinter) No, it's more of a suggestion. The horse you rode in is optional.
- Mr. Pinter: Now look...
- Lois: No, you look. I don't deserve this. The only thing I ever did wrong was doing all the work I did to cover your butt.
- Mr. Pinter: Well we obviously have different definitions of wrong!
- Lois: [Scoffs] Yeah, guess we do. For instance, I think it's wrong for you to put your name on sales report that you didn't write. I think it's wrong for you to keep a little bag of herbs in your bottom left drawer. I think it's wrong you slept with the district manager's wife. [this catches Pinter's attention] And you want to know something, you don't have to worry about it because I also think it's wrong to blab this kind of thing. You know you should be so glad that I'm the only one who knows this stuff about you. Anyone else here would sell you down the river in a second. God, I am so much better than you!
- [Lois walks away and Pinter thinks he's safe since she's the only one who knows. However, he soon finds himself cornered when he sees smiling faces of Craig and the other co-workers from the next aisle having heard about his secret. Their grins imply that they intend to tell the district manager about his wrongdoings including his maltreatment of Lois and his affair with their boss' wife. Pinter runs the other way and quits.]
- (After Lois returns the bottle of cognac that Dewey stole)
- Lois: What do you mean "fired"?! You can't fire me for this.
- Mr. Pinter: Sorry. Store policy is very clear about stealing.
- Lois: But he didn't steal it; he returned it. It's right there. The bottle is perfect. You can just put it right back on the shelf.
- Mr. Pinter: I already marked it out of inventory. My hands are tied here.
- Lois: What are you talking about? You don't even do inventory. You foist it off on me because you make so many mistakes.
- Lois:(stocking some condoms) Don't touch the microphone, register, candy, price tags. (Realizes something is amiss) Steam Cleaner.
- (Runs and catches Malcolm and Reese messing with the steam cleaner. They're both covered in soap)
- Lois: BOYS!!!!!!!!
- Malcolm: It's not what it looks like!
- (Lois and Craig are stacking condoms together)
- Craig: You know, uh, this is a little intense. You, me, working this shelf.. together.
- Craig: (chuckles nervously)
- Lois: What's intense about it?
- Craig: I guess nothing. Excuse me.
- Craig: (quickly walks down the isle)
- (Family is eating breakfast)
- Lois: Drink your milk.
- Dewey: It's lumpy!
- Lois: Then chew it!
- Girl: Francis, will you help me decide on my leg extensions? Which do you think looks better? Right leg, (lifts up right leg) or left leg? (lifts up left leg)
- Francis: Can you ... do both?

text: Mrs. Krnc is feeding the pigeons again and this makes Mr. Gioia angry. Mr. Gioia and the neighbors wonder if Mrs. Krnc is slightly crazy. They make a drastic decision to sell her house and use the money to put her in a retirement home. Rachel and her friend Brian, featured in Family Dinner (1995), see this plan as unjust. They visit Mrs. Krnc and learn that she isn't nuts, but vastly lonely since her husband's death. Next, a visit to Mr. Gioia reveals his boredom since retirement. With the help of Rachel's Uncle Benson and gentle persuasion on the part of Rachel and Brian, Mr. Gioia comes up with a much kinder plan that benefits everyone. As things are neatly wrapped up, it seems a little too tidy. The result, however, is a thought-provoking story that unfolds with amiable drawings and a flipbook bonus. Rachel and Brian ultimately learn that gathering all the facts is essential to any fair plan and that having an open mind will always serve everyone best. (Fiction. 7-11)

The newborn cover has a strap and buckle to secure your little one to the beanbag and prevent them slipping out.

The fabric is super soft and the beanbag is lightweight enough to move around when the baby is not on it. The fabric is machine washabl, but it would be pretty difficult to stick it in the machine as you would have to remove all the beans.

Ballmer talks up bullet proof Vista security
Windows Vista will deliver a level of security that bring an end to traditional virus and worm attacks, Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer claimed during a public speaking engagement in Silicon Valley.
"Subject to the tolerance level of the fact that there might still be a small amount of human error, we will have eliminated the known attack vectors that people use against us today," Ballmer said at an event for the Churchill Club and Commonwealth Club.
Ballmer touted the security of his forthcoming operating system as one of the main reasons why people should upgrade, together with the system's new search and graphical features. Ballmer talks up bullet proof Vista security - vnunet.com

RPM to m/min
by david on 10/29/05 at 08:14:40
Hidoes anyone know how to convert from RMP to meters per min, or if it is even possible?thanks
Re: RPM to m/min
by Robert Fogt on 10/30/05 at 03:03:15
Yes you can convert that, if you know the circumference of the wheel.For example, if a wheel is exactly 1 meter in circumference, than RPM = meters/minute. If the wheel is 2.5 meters in circumference than 1 RPM = 2.5 meters/minuteRPM is revolutions/minute. The distance the wheel travels (in meters) in one revolution is how many meters it travels.
Re: RPM to m/min
by david on 11/06/05 at 10:26:43
Thanks a lot for your help!One more thinga watt is one Nm/s isnt it?well could i convert a Nm, into Nm/s and hence watts?
Re: RPM to m/min
by Robert Fogt on 11/07/05 at 00:28:14
If you supply the missing dimension of time then you can.Power = Energy / TimeYou need two to calculate the third.

Academic journal article African Studies Review
The Atlas of World Hunger
Article excerpt
GEOGRAPHY, ENVIRONMENT, AND DEMOGRAPHY Thomas J. Bassett and Alex Winter-Nelson. The Atlas of World Hunger. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2010. xiii + 201 pp. Maps. Figures. Tables. Photographs. Appendixes. Notes. Bibiography. Index. $45.00. Cloth.
Thomas Bassett and Alex Winter-Nelson document the geography of hunger in a volume that provides a new tool for scholars and policymakers and a clear, vivid, accessible account of global poverty and hunger for students and an enquiring general public. Bassett and Winter-Nelson emphasize that hunger problems are "rooted and experienced" at multiple levels, that poverty and lack of entitlements cause hunger, and that "these realities are ultimately rooted in policies and political economies that fail to protect the poor from exacerbating conditions and events that push people deeper into poverty, heighten their vulnerability, and produce hunger" (71).
After demonstrating that measures of hunger through food availability are inadequate because they fail to consider distribution of food within a nation, and measures of prevalence of undernutrition (POU) do not capture the consequences of seasonal hunger or unequal distribution of food within a household, they propose a new scale, the Hunger Vulnerability Index. This index combines food availability, $2.00/ day poverty, and growth failure for children under five in order to capture the individual, household, and national dimensions of the problem of hunger. Using the Hunger Vulnerability Index, the book investigates the sources of hunger, considering the role of resources, technology, institutions, power relations, and forms of distribution at the national and international levels, and the incidence of poverty, the distribution of entitlements, and the role of exacerbating factors at the household level, all of which lead to malnutrition for individuals. The result is maps, tables, and graphs demonstrating that population growth, changes in the resource base, and environmental disaster are not the causes of hunger. …

(CNN) - Florida school shooting victim Carmen Schentrup would have turned 17 years old on Wednesday, and her classmates and survivors of the massacre marked her birthday by flooding the state capital to demand stronger gun control laws.
And Carmen was on the minds of her Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School classmates. They talked proudly of her wit, her intelligence and sweetness.
"She was a National Merit finalist, but unfortunately the letter arrived in the mail the day after she passed, so she never knew that," Stoneman Douglas student Ariana Ortega told lawmakers in Tallahassee, adding that her classmate was among a select group of 15,000 students.
"She was going to change the world, and I'm sure of that. But she doesn't have the chance now," Ortega said.
Carmen, a senior at Stoneman Douglas, was named a National Merit Scholarship semifinalist last year, the school's Eagle Eye student blog reported in September.
Carmen and 16 others died at the hands of Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz last week at Stoneman Douglas in Parkland. The victims included a football coach, an athletic director and several 14-year-old students.
Cruz has confessed to the shooting and is facing charges of premeditated murder. He is willing to plead guilty to avoid the death penalty, according to the public defender's office representing him.
Carmen's funeral was Tuesday, one of five services that day.
Stoneman Douglas senior Julia Bishop, 18, attended Carmen's funeral and then boarded a bus for the caravan to Tallahassee.
"I was there, but in my head, I was thinking, 'What am I going to do to move forward from this? What am I going to do with my grief? What am I going to do with my hate?' " Bishop told CNN on Tuesday.
Her friend was witty, smart, insightful, "the absolute sweetest," Bishop said on the bus.
She had a bright future, and "it's disgusting that that was taken away from her," Bishop said.

Excellent Father's Day Adventure
We took the dogs to McIver Park and walked the trails, visited the Salmon Hatchery there and threw the frisbee. It was still, peaceful, serene. Just the quiet chuffing of our feet along the forest floor and an occasional "look" and "be careful of the nettles".
We came upon fishermen and women at the Clackamas River and watched them silently cast out their lines. John studied the eddies and pronounced it a perfect place to catch fish. He knows the riffles and pools.
He told us the story of how he and his cousins would pluck off the foxglove blossoms and put them on their fingers. Children have the most surprising games, boys in particular I think. They need to throw rocks into streams which I've never felt the urge to do.
John and mama with Kitten and Punkin and Cooper and Crazy Cousin Moose. That's the fish hatchery in the background filled with millions of fry; quite an amazing place.
A freshly caught salmon was spied in the parking lot. These men told me they are both native Oregonians and seeing the beautiful catch reminded me of my time living in Eagle Creek next to the river bank where we got to observe their life cycle and yes, also enjoyed them as food. Beautiful creatures they are, I love and feel a special affinity for them. Maybe I'm almost a native myself after 36 years here.
We finished the day at a sushi bar where the dishes go sailing past on a conveyer belt and you let your eyes decide which delicacies to try. I started with smoked calamari and moved on to tempura shrimp and a chewy seaweed number. You can count the plates in the background to see that we had worked up a good appetite.
It was lovely. I am slogging through a bit of a low spot after the high spirits of the Encaustic Conference so this was a good diversion. Nature always consoles; if I sit next to an ancient tree or search a stream bed for a perfect smooth stone I am lifted out of my querulous mind into a place of silence.
On Thursday I set up at the Lake Oswego Show so I am occupied with nuts and bolts. See you in awhile.

What a great way to spend the day....I sometimes miss the greenness of Oregon.

Felt like I was there. A great way to spend the day, in nature with nature and loved ones! The foxglove photo is wonderful. Thanks for showing that.
- Connie said...
Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us. I love seeing all that refreshing, green, lush landscape. Best wishes on your next show!
Peace & Love.

i've often thought the higher highs help to mitigate the lower lows. i'm ever grateful for the trees, grass, and clouds to light the dark path. and also comforted to know we're all in this together. rocking along in our tiny boats beside each other on the giant sea.

We don't have another scheduled appointment with our Paediatric Consultant until July. However, he is coming out to see us with our Community Nurse next week, to 'sign off' the Document Of Wishes and I am going to grill him about it then.
My first thought is to wonder whether it's something to do with the better range of food she is having via the Blended Diet we are now following. I know there's not going to be any miracle cure and Cerebellular Ataxia doesn't just go away. But there is a part of me that is hoping for a miracle.
In other news, both the Fortnight Of Bedtime Screaming (tm) and The Six Weeks Of No Eating (tm) seem to have passed. Yesterday for lunch she ate half a portion of baked beans and half a slice of toast - the rest I put down the tube - and for tea she asked for seconds of soup and bread. I was almost crying with relief.
I have dug out my yoghurt maker and have a big jug of yoghurt in the fridge that I am using to add to blends if extra liquid is needed. The Vitamix really has revolutionised the way we feed her and it seems to be paying off. I had a horrible moment yesterday when smoke came out of the bottom of it and it stopped working; but after half an hour I tried it again and everything seemed fine.
Today is cold, but sunny; I've got a list of stuff I want to achieve outside, including washing the camper for sale, making a duckling pen and getting B to barrow a metric ton of compost from one side of the garden to the other whilst I watch and make encouraging noises.
For today, that is all.

A cocaine shipment worth US 7.5 million has been offloaded and transferred by the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Dauntless to federal law enforcement special agents. The operation took place on Wednesday, July 22 at San Juan's Coast Guard Sector.
On July 17 in the Caribbean Sea, the US Cutter Dauntless seized the 275-pound cocaine shipment and detained six suspected drug traffickers, following the interdiction of a go-fast vessel. Two of the suspect are reported to be Colombian nationals and four from Venezuela.
Initially the suspicious vessel was detected in international waters about 80 nautical miles north of the Netherlands Antilles Island of Aruba, where the USCG ship was patrolling, along with the assistance of a Netherlands Coast Guard maritime aircraft.
In the course of the operation, both patrolling crews observed people aboard the suspicious go-fast vessel jettisoning packages overboard.
Five of the suspicious packages that were jettisoned overboard from the go-fast vessel have been successfully recovered by the Dauntless crew. Later conducted tests have shown that the packages were positive for cocaine.
The six suspected smugglers, a representative sample of cocaine, and the go-fast were transferred by the Dauntless to the Venezuelan Navy, while the rest of the abandoned drugs were transported to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Cmdr. Fritz Kuebler, commanding officer of the Coast Guard Cutter Dauntless commented:
"Once again, the crew of the Dauntless, along with our Dutch partners, proved to be a worthy opponent. We take great satisfaction in knowing that our efforts are helping to secure not only American streets but also the streets of our Caribbean neighbors."
The 210-foot Dauntless is a Medium Endurance Cutter, homeported in Galveston, Texas.
The USCG patrol ship and crew execute maritime law enforcement, homeland security and search and rescue missions in support of Coast Guard operations throughout the Western Hemisphere.

Children can make easy recipes such as marshmallow pops and two-ingredient fudge with minimal supervision. Other cooking activities include stringing fruit necklaces and allowing children to help with baking.
One food-based activity for children is making a fruit necklace. For this activity, the necessary ingredients are fruit "beads" such as berries and grapes. Kids use a yarn needle to string the fruit onto an elastic cord.
Another activity is making marshmallow pops. The necessary materials are lollipop sticks, large marshmallows, chocolate chips and sprinkles. First, the chocolate is melted in a glass bowl in the microwave. Children place the marshmallows on the sticks and dip them into the melted chocolate. They then roll the marshmallows in the sprinkles before placing them upright in a glass to dry.
Two-ingredient fudge is another recipe that's easy for kids. For this recipe, children melt chocolate chips in a glass bowl in the microwave. They then add 1 can of sweetened condensed milk before pouring the mixture into a pan lined with wax paper. If desired, the children can decorate the fudge.
General activities for cooking with kids include letting them help when baking. For instance, parents spread newspaper over countertops and allow children to trace designs in the extra flour. Kids can also cream sugar and butter with their hands when making cookies.

Study abroad in Cartagena
Take a Spanish course in Cartagena, one of Colombia's most beautiful and safest cities.
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Cartagena was one of the first cities the Spanish settled in and as a result has some beautiful colonial architecture. The old town combines cobbled streets, Andalusian churches and charming plazas, all surrounded by the city's stone walls. Just outside the walls you will find the up and coming Getsemaní barrio, lined with trendy bars and colorful street art. Cartagena is known for its fantastic restaurants and night life, with plenty of great music to be enjoyed both in the bars and on the streets.
Cartagena is right on the Caribbean coast, but if you take a day trip a little further afield, you will find some postcard perfect white sandy beaches. As well as soaking up the sunshine and bathing in the turquoise water, there are various water sports available including scuba diving, surfing, windsurfing, jet skiing and much more.

Let it be known that I love a good tongue in cheek fairytale inspired story.
We have such a wealth of tales well known to us, thanks to Brother's Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen or even Walt Disney, and I absolutely love stories that take those tropes and mix them up.
Enter Frogkisser, the latest novel from Garth Nix – an absolutely glorious middle grade romp of Princesses, magic and transformed creatures. Oh, but be sure – this is not the story of the princess and the frog as you know it (this includes the much under-rated Disney version).
Princess Anya is determined to be a sorcerer; being second in line to the throne means freedom from worrying about ruling… although if her sister was a tiny bit more serious she wouldn't have to worry so much. When their actually evil step-step-father Duke Ricard turns Morven's latest suitor Prince Denholm into a frog, Anya takes pity and decides to set out to gather the ingredients for a magical lip balm to return him to his rightful form.
Allied with Royal Dog Ardent, Anya's quest quickly becomes more complex, in no small part due to an honourable band of robbers, a very good wizard and a boy transformed into a giant orange newt. Can she return Denholm (and all the other transformed creatures desperate for her help) before evil Duke Ricard captures her?
With absurdism and wit reminiscent of Pratchett, Frogkisser is an absolute joy that had me weeping with laughter on many occasions. Nix captures dogs with such a knowing smile, and imbues Anya with such courage and kindness that you can't help but root for her.
This is one of my favourite books so far this year. Pure joy, silliness and magic; really what more could you want?
Interested? Buy it here.
What to read next:
- The Crooked Sixpence by Jennifer Rose Bell
- Beetle Boy by M. G. Leonard
- The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett
Thank you to Piccadilly Press & Bonnier Zaffre for sharing a copy with me!

Present: Rich Bennett, Brian Burton, Bill Covey, Debra Harris, Winston Harris, Bobbie Meng, Suzy Shaw, Leota WhitfieldAnnouncements
Ongoing Systems Updates
- Winston slaughtered his first large animal over the weekend.
- Rich rode on a wheeled Olympic bobsled in Lake Placid, NY on his vacation.
Equipment Received/Installed/Repaired
- 46 Cows have been received. They are stacked to the ceiling behind the curtain, there's no room to work on checking them in. MSL needs to pick up their 20 that are already logged in & that should allow for working space. Contact at MSL will be John Ashcraft's student, Matt, while John is on vacation for a week.
- Lee found the papers confirming that the Epson printers behind the curtain are allocated to MSL.
- Suzy is bringing up an NT server to test using it as a web server. The server she choose was in Destry's office, turned out it had HarpWeek on it. Web access seems best for HarpWeek, will need to involve Shelley Arden in making the decision to bring it back up. Lee notes that one new server is behind the curtain. May bring that up as NT and put ChemAbs on it.
- There are 4 Okidatas behind the curtain: 1 for Reference, 1 for Documents, 1 for shelf unit.
- Will put an HP printer in Resource Services to replace the Select 360.
- Liaisons are suffering with the public printing problems.
Software Projects Status
- Public printing shifted from NT to Novell. Coincidentally, we are experiencing hideous network slowdowns which seem to have started at the time of public printing & the switch installations. Carole Bird sent Bill an email this AM stating that the net was not slow until she turned on the print server. Will need to investigate.
- Worked with Microsoft on a corrupted Wins database - had them rebuild. Could have configured individual workstations for Wins - but this was not an acceptable solution.
- Email problems: Bill has found a fix to clear the network cache: nbtstat -R typed at the command line. Then reboot the machine.
- Suzanne Brown had problems trying to change her password, this fix didn't work & Suzy had to change it on the server.
- Russ' email puts a period after every word & runs spellcheck. He's using WORD as the editor & it's showing hidden characters. The solution is to turn WORD off as the email editor, just use the Outlook default.
- No word from CISCO on IP management or router return instructions. Tim Wall will divide up the trade-in price & apply it to the switches.
- MSL - latest word on the furniture is about mid-August.
- Walk-up workstations will be installed in room 100 East - about 48 with direct feed, since they will not have authentication. Will need to move the fiber feed on the 2nd floor to the 1st floor, new fiber from the outside to the 1st floor, 1st floor feed to the 2nd floor & the feed for the 48.
- Need to run more fiber in MSL & AFA.
DP Coordinator
- Sharon & Winston worked on the persistent problems with Personnel. Evelyn should be okay, Sharon is working on the permanent side now.
- ATC Standalone - Winston called Mark Hinnebush, he referred Winston to Don Frick. 1 Gig of data - in DB2 tables - their flat file is going away soon. October '99 will bring the demise of NERVM - NERDC will reduce TSO charges to offset. Don thinks it can be done with ODBC Optical 550-600M. Single tables do not contain all the ATC - will require joins.
- LASSIE - Brian is meeting today with Marie Kennedy & Barbara Oliver to set up order & receipt forms. He also has a payment distribution bug on it that he needs to fix. It is set up with individual security on the SQL server. SQL 7.0 should be out soon.
- Next phase will be to help Carolyn with licensing & Rich with IP correlating with licenses. Bill suggests making this a completely open table.
- John Ashcraft is out this week - timer software is on hold.
- PAULA - Brian to work on a field signifying who will be taking trouble calls in Debra's absence.
- July 27-30 is the last week of Summer B. Finals start July 31, run until August 7.
- Two week break August 10 - 21.
- Students return for Fall starting August 24. May be sporadic that first week.
- Sharon is out sick today.
- Winston out July 27-30, maybe 31st.
- Debra out July 31, AM August 3.
- Lee out August 17-18.
- Lee out Sept. 17-30

Fiscal Sponsorship Research
Fees and services: Fiscal sponsorship services include funds administration and accounting. The fees charged for fiscal sponsorship among these entities range from free to 10% of donations received, with most falling between 6% and 9%, plus a modest annual or quarterly fee.
Additional services offered may include: credit/debit card processing, grant support, fundraising guidance, online fundraising, leadership development, executive expertise, volunteer recruitment, human resource management, payroll, publicity, email marketing, community outreach, tabling at events, networking, technical support, website creation, content management design, database management, online tools such as forums, legal guidance, leases, contracts, insurance, and office space.
Project types: Here is a sampling of different types of projects the fiscal sponsors named above aim to partner with: environmental campaigns and programs, artists of numerous media, international social, economic, and environmental projects, community building, arts and culture, spiritual renewal, ecological restoration that makes a cultural impact by creating progressive change, environmental sustainability, international development, and youth development and organizing.
Simple application processes: While the application processes for each of these fiscal sponsors vary, it seems that the sponsors understand that there is a reason their applicants elect not to form their own non-profit organizations. That is, applicants are probably small and grassroots, hence the need for fiscal sponsorship. Most of the application procedures are relatively simple, which is refreshing and encouraging.

|Homing Pigeons, A History in Wartime and Peace
Health & Fitness- Sports,
Nature- Animals
Our pigeon journey started when one crash landed in my front yard as a teen. Soon my father had built a coop, collected a rag tag crew of breeding birds, and began training drives in preparation for racing. The sport lives on today and has a rich history in both war and peace time. This class includes live birds, learning how to read bands, how to train for racing, and how the racing clock works. Suitable for 2019 summer reading programs.
|$101- $200
|Bioshock! Neuroscience for Everyone
Health & Fitness- Other,
Nature- Other,
This course is taught with a lecture and lab component. During lecture, students learn about the organization of the nervous system, synaptic transmission, neurotransmitters, and ionic basis for action potentials. These are basic foundations for the science of neurophysiology, which we will be practicing using hands on methods. The lab component involves recording action potentials in real time from an insect, and analysis of the recording to interpret results. Robotic control of an insect using neural circuits and a cell phone usually interest the most hard core bored students! The goal of the class is to interest students in neural circuits and neuroscience! This program is suitable for the 2019 summer reading program.
|$201- $350
|Horses 101
Health & Fitness- Sports,
Life Skills- Other,
Nature- Animals
Welcome to the world of horses! Children and adults alike are fascinated by these majestic creatures, and the experiences with them can be magical! Spending time around horses and ponies has been proven in many studies to be therapeutic on many levels both physically and emotionally. The bond can be quite powerful and healing, but where to start? It is important to know the nature of a horse, how to properly handle them on the ground as well as while riding. Proper care and feeding, tack fitting, and maintenance will be discussed as well. This is all taught out of the American Association for Horsemanship Safety manual by Jan Dawson. Katie, our real life miniature horse will be available to be pet, groomed, and for demonstration of safety techniques. This program is suitable for the 2019 summer reading program.
|$101- $200
Health & Fitness- Other,
Life Skills- Food,
This class has a lecture and a lab component. We are surrounded by, infiltrated, and even share our genes with microbes. Are they friend, or foe? Are you on a quest to annihilate your best allies? Patrons will be introduced to the world of beneficial microbes and how they protect us and promote our health. Patrons will learn about different classes of microbes, their morphology, and learn how to culture petri-film, and test pH of various experimental mediums. Would compliment nicely with a reading of Sally Fallon's Nourishing Traditions, or Rodney Deitert's The Human Super-Organism. Suitable for 2019 summer reading programs.

My First Publishing Kudo for 08
One of my stories THE WHIRLPOOL GALAXY is going to appear in SHALLA Magazine: Winter Blooms Issue 2008. They accept reprints, which is great, because the story originally appeared in Cezanne's Carrot in 06.
This particular submission victory means a lot to me, because I've been dealing with a really sticky and depressing situation with one of my editing gigs. I've been driving myself nuts, trying to work with these people, but then yesterday a dear friend counseled me to "just let it go". She's really into the "law of attraction" philosophy, and she said until I let go of the chaos I was trying to resolve, I wouldn't have room in my life to attract new and better opportunities. She said it was like cleaning out the closet to make room for a new dress.
So, 2 days ago, I let go, and cut my ties with the chaos brokers that were driving me nuts. Ever since then, my email box has delivered nothing but good news regarding making it into a final round of a short story contest, an invitation to apply for a position as a book reviewer for writing related books, an offer to collaborate on a flash fiction writing tips ebook, and now this news of my story being accepted for publication on SHALLA. It's worth noting I submitted to this market all the way back in July of 07, and today's news was very unexpected.
I'm off to clear out more chaos from my virtual closet. This "law of attraction" thing really works!

I fell off a ladder 4 weeks before HURT. I pulled muscles in my chest, neck, and back when I tried to catch myself. I bruised my bum when I landed in a heap on the floor. Running put painful pressure on my pectorals and I couldn't lift or do a pushup. Instead of peaking with 70+ mile weeks I was on 100% taper. I did nothing. Nada. For 2 weeks. Then I managed to do some short runs and some leg/core work for a week. Then the week of the race I was back to nothing. Needless to say, with only two 40+ mile runs under my belt since August and not much of a build in December I wasn't terribly confident about HURT. Not that I was anxious about finishing. I never doubt my ability to finish a 100. I can hike one in the cut-off time. More that it would be really painful…that it would hurt. I've run several 100's with little to no training and they were miserable, gut-it-out sessions.
I couldn't have been more surprised.
Physically I felt fine the entire race. By lap 4 I was ready to pick up the pace and push, but I was running with Kevin and he was having a tough race having just gotten over food poisoning. We hadn't planned to run together, but inadvertently had pushed and pulled one another through the first 60 miles. By then we were committed to seeing it through together. It was a test of our relationship and also proof that we can go through something as physically and mentally demanding as a 100 mile race with nothing but love and compassion for one another. I had no goals going into it and still had none on loop 5 when Kevin and our incredible pacer Hannah tried to convince me to go faster to break 30 hours. I remember starting to cry. "I don't care. I just want to finish."
"You will care if you don't!"
We did finish in under 30 hours—29:22, but I still don't care. For me the race was about commitment to a person. Sticking things out when it was possible to leave. It was about seeing my body at its strongest—gliding through 24,000ft of gain without any pain, soreness, blisters, or fatigue. Feeling myself pulling away from people on climbs when I was hiking and knowing that something in me has changed. It was also a discovery of how my mind had yet to really solidly recover from last summer. When, feeling awesome physically, I railed at the idea of pushing harder. That the pressure of trying to beat a certain time sent me over the edge into tears. I was not yet ready to flip the "suffer switch" and push myself to the limit. Perhaps I'll never be ready to. I don't know. The only way to find out is to go out there again. And again.
HURT100 was a great race. The HURT ohana makes every runner feel encouraged, supported and loved. My crew, Linda, and pacer, Hannah were amazing. Without them, I am certain I would have struggled to make fast turn-arounds in the aid stations and would not have pushed for the finish time I had. Kevin was a constant inspiration to me. As sick as he was he kept moving, never once thinking about quitting. Every time I felt whiney I would look at him and know that there was nothing I could complain about. I found my Altra Lone Peaks to work excellently on the slick terrain. A special thanks as well to Seven Hills Running Shop and Altra for supporting my endeavors at HURT and elsewhere in 2014.
Now, on to the best part of the race:
Seeing my mom at the finish line, camera in hand and tears on her face was, by far, the most important moment of the entire race. She may never see me run again. She'll never be at the end of a trail when I come staggering in after a grueling physical and mental experience. Instead, she'll follow my blinking SPOT dot and see the pictures on Facebook. But on January 19th, 2014, she was there in person. For that reason, no other finish line will ever be as special.

Earth's Largest Volcano Discovered Four Miles Under Pacific Ocean
Scientists from Texas A&M University have discovered the single largest volcano on Earth.
But before anyone goes running for cover in fear of another Mount Vesuvius disaster, they should know that the 650-kilometer-wide behemoth the size of New Mexico is not only inactive but lies about 1,000 miles off the east coast of Japan and in waters that are in some parts four miles deep.
Despite its inactivity and relative inaccessibility, it will still be able to help geophysicists learn how the earth stores magma before it spews out onto the surface of the globe. The finding of the volcano on what is known as the Tamu Massif – one of three large mountains that make up an underwater range called the Shatsky Rise, about 1,500 kilometers east of Japan – also revealed that Earth can produce volcanoes on par with Olympus Mons on Mars, which, at 625 kilometers was previously believed to be the largest volcano in the solar system.
"It's not high, but very wide, so the flank slopes are very gradual," said William Sager, a professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at University of Houston who began researching Tamu Massif two decades ago, according to Nature World News. "In fact, if you were standing on its flank, you would have trouble telling which way is downhill."
It was previously unknown whether or not the 145-million year old Tamu Massif, named after Texas A&M University where Sager previously worked, was a single volcano or a number of volcanoes. New research confirms that the basalt mass that constitutes the massif was formed by a single volcanic source near its center.
To put the size of the volcano into perspective, its area is about 60 times greater than Earth's most active volcano, Mauna Loa in Hawaii, which takes up about 2,000 square miles.
"Its shape is different from any other sub-marine volcano found on Earth, and it's very possible it can give us some clues about how massive volcanoes can form," Sager said. "An immense amount of magma came from the center, and this magma had to have come from the Earth's mantle. So this is important information for geologists trying to understand how the Earth's interior works."
While the Tamu Massif sits right now as the solar system's biggest volcano, this is one of the first studies on the underwater giants and leaves speculation that larger volcanoes exist.
"There may be bigger ones out there," Sager told Nature.com.

Wrestling - Varsity
The Pride wrestling program is one of the strongest in New England year after year. The team has placed in the top five in New England the last two years (2016, 2017) including 6 New England finalists during this time span. The Pride also won a New England team title in 2005. Additionally, the team has won 7 Western New England titles and has produced numerous Western New England Champions.
The Pride competes against the top teams in New England throughout its dual meet season. Our success against New England teams is unmatched as we have amassed an outstanding dual meet record over the last 10 years. Along the way, we have produced numerous Western New England champions and place-winners, many New England champions and place-winners, and several National place-winners (including Paul Mancuso who placed 2nd in 2006; more recently Khaleed Exum-Strong 6th in 2016, Jeff Thompson 7th in 2017, and Bim Gecaj 8th in 2018). While Trinity-Pawling does have wrestlers who have wrestled before arriving at the school on the team, we also pride ourselves on the fact that many of our wrestlers (including many who have become champions at all levels) have never competed in the sport before walking into the TP wrestling room.
Pride Wrestling Staff
One of the program's strengths has been the consistency of the coaching staff. Head Coach Bill Dunham arrived at Trinity-Pawling in 1996 after having been head coach at Canterbury School for 8 years. He assisted Dave Coratti for many years before becoming co-head coach and then taking the program over in 2002. In that span of time, the Pride has crowned 39 individual Western New England Champions (the most of any team since 2002), 9 individual New England Champions, and 10 All-Americans. Coach Dunham has also served as an officer of the Western New England Wrestling Coaches' Association for the majority of his 26 year coaching career.
Filling out the coaching staff, Ralph Fedele, who won several Western New England titles and a New England title (under Coach Coratti and Coach Dunham) and went on to wrestle 4 years at Trinity College. Since returning to the staff in 2014 the Pride have crowned 11 Western New England champions, 3 All-Americans, and 7 New England Finalists (1 champion).
Slade Mead, who currently is Trinity-Pawling's Director of College Counseling, serves as Assistant Coach. In addition to his fine career as a wrestler at Taft, Coach Mead served as an assistant coach on several championship teams at Avon Old Farms and most recently has coached wrestling in Arizona. Pride wrestling works every day to be one of the best programs in New England.
If you have any questions regarding the Pride program feel free to contact either Coach Dunham at email@example.com or Coach Fedele at email@example.com.
Here is a list of Pride Wrestling players who continued at the collegiate level >

Evan Mathis can't stand excess spending.
The Eagles' offensive lineman, who once urinated (or pretended to) on a sign outside of an IRS building, is a proponent of thriftiness. And in an effort to save himself some extra money on gas, the 32-year-old has found a new way to get to work.
Mathis rolled up to Philadelphia's complex this week on a motorized tricycle, attracting the attention of his teammates and the assembled media members. Mathis told CSN Philadelphia that he got the scooter on Craigslist.
Evan Mathis rode this to work today. No joke. pic.twitter.com/AFXLKZqlqY

Yup, @EvanMathis69 is about that green life! #tricycle pic.twitter.com/v5vB4B28Ot
— Connor Barwin (@ConnorBarwin98) April 24, 2014
Barwin, who himself has used alternate forms of transportation to get to work, is surely proud of his teammate.
When questioned about his new wheels Mathis, who is set to make $5.15 million this year, said it's a good way to save money on his one-and-a-half mile commute.
Hey, we're all for saving money and being environmentally responsible, and it doesn't look like this vehicle is going to set any land-speed records, but maybe Mathis should also remember the "safety first" motto. Use some of that unspent gas money and buy a helmet.

Interview Designer and Illustrator James Round
James Round is a designer and illustrator currently heading for the big smoke in London, his prints and work really grabbed my attention and it's a pleasure to share with you this interview. We talk to James about; his work, favourite films & music, time at university, his inspiration, twitter followers & more.
"When you're doing work at university, remember that whatever project you're doing could be the ticket to your dream job. Work with that in mind." –James Round
Who is James Round? What route through education did you take for your first design role?
I'm a designer and illustrator currently based in Leeds but making the move down to London in a few weeks. In my current day job (ending soon) I work as a designer for the UK's largest wholesaler of home and giftware across their digital and print channels. It's a pretty varied role and has been great for my first full time role out of Uni. Outside of work I run an online store selling screen prints. I've had to put this on hold a bit for the last few months because of other commitments, but I'm almost ready to get going with it again and I've got some awesome new ideas for the store which I think will lead to some really exciting things.
In terms of education, I studied New Media at Uni. I had a great time at university, but I'm not sure how well it prepared me for the working world. After graduating I spent months unemployed, unable to get a full time job and just ended up producing as much work as possible and securing as many placements and freelance work as I could. In the end, I landed my first job without showing any of the work that I'd completed on my university course.
Do you think that time out of work after university was a positive or negative?
I don't think it was an overly positive time. It's a very difficult industry to crack and there's nothing worse than an endless bunch of job rejections. However, I knew I was never going to give up on it, and eventually I landed my first full time job. It was a lot of work, but it was all worth it after that.
"I knew I was never going to give up on it, and eventually I landed my first full time job. It was a lot of work, but it was all worth it after that."
What advice would you offer to 3rd year students about the graduate this summer?
I definitely didn't realize how difficult finding employment would be and as a result I probably didn't make the most of my time at university. When you're doing work at university, remember that whatever project you're doing could be the ticket to your dream job. Work with that in mind.
Also keep in mind that in most universities, you are not taught nearly all the skills you need to be effective as a designer. Nothing prepares you like an actual role so I'd really recommend doing a placement somewhere. It will also look much better to future employers.
Who have been your biggest creative influences?
I get very inspired by just searching through Behance. I think it's such an important resource for designers; for networking, resources and gaining exposure.
In terms of actual designers, I love the work of the greats. I think a lot can be learnt from people like Saul Bass and Milton Glaser who pushed the industry forward so much. I think they achieved what every designer wants; to be able to create design that becomes so iconic that it's works its way firmly into popular culture. That sort of stuff will outlast us all!
I also really love the work of Mondo; the artists who work with them produce screen prints that are impossibly complex and beautiful.
How did you enjoy your time at university, would you recommend it as a place to study?
I really did enjoy my time at university. However it was a creative course at an academic university, and I certainly wonder if I'd have been better of going to an art college and getting more hands on experience rather than writing essays.
What has been your favourite personal project you've completed?
My favourite personal project I've completed has definitely been all the work I've done for Etsy store. I've had a such a great time doing it, shipped my prints all over the world and been featured in magazines. However the biggest compliment is that I'm now getting job interviews with incredible companies as a result of this work. To be recognised for something that I've created from nothing with only my own instincts to drive it has been incredible. It's a wonderful comfort that lets me know I'm in the right industry on days when I'm doubting myself.
If you could collaborate with anyone in the world on a project would who would you pick?
Wow, that's a really tough question. It would be amazing to work with a company like Nike or Adidas, because they utilize design so well. In terms of people, there are just so many people out there who I admire, I think it would be impossible to pick.
Who are your favourite people to follow on twitter?
I adore twitter and it's easy to get really distracted by it. I love the tweets that @ohh_deer put out; all the artists they work with are super talented. I'm also really into @Sketch_Dailies at the moment. They tweet a subject each day for people to draw. The standard is ridiculously high. I follow a lot of designers, but just looking at people I've favourite recently, people should definitely check out @chrisspooner, @BenIllustrator, @TobiasHall, @Tonyjohnson and @MattTaylorDraws.
Which are your favourite creative sites online for news, articles, Inspiration & tutorials?
Sites that I visit pretty much every day are Design Juices (obviously!), It's Nice That, Form Fifty Five, Creative Bloq, Branding Identity Design , Friends of Type and Creative Boom to name a few. The list could really go on for ever!
Away from working how do you like to spend your spare time?
To be honest, most of my time is spent working at the moment as I think early on in your career it's important to build up a huge body of work. I'm also applying for jobs in London at the minute, which is massively time consuming.
However when I'm not doing that, I love to spend time surfing, running and watching TV and films. Travelling is also a pretty big passion of mine, and I always try to make time every few months to go somewhere new.
What albums are dominating your iPod so far in 2014?
This year I'm really enjoying music by Foxes, M83, Keaton Henson, MS MR and All the Luck in the world. I'm also really addicted to podcasts. They can actually be really inspiring and certainly help a long day at work fly by. Some of the stories told on podcasts are incredible. At the moment I listening to 99% Invisible, Snap Judgement, This American Life, The Cracked Podcast, The Complete Guide to Everything and Radio Lab.
Which films have been your favorite in recent years?
Some of my favorite films are; The Life Aquatic (anything by Wes Anderson really), Sunshine, Inception, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (really great character design!) and Children of Men.
Where do you see yourself by 2015?
By 2015 I would see myself in London, either working for an in house team with an awesome brand or as part of an agency. There's also a lot of things I'm about to change about my online store and I think it's going to lead to some really exciting stuff.

There are two different ways you could see this video of a 3-year-old girl explaining a blown call during the Outback Bowl. Either we're witnessing a referee prodigy, or this call is so obviously bad, even a 3-year-old could spot it. You tell me! Because the only thing I know is that this 3-year-old definitely knows more about football than I do.
She's super cute, though. Watch as she uses a pencil to point out that the football is not touching the pole like the referee said it is. IT'S REALLY NOT! And the best part is how indignant she is. You have to see this.
Aww, will someone please give this little lady a spot on ESPN? It just goes to show you, kids pay close attention to everything! (Except to the words "stop that.") And wow, it totally blows little kids' minds when they discover a grownup is wrong. How could the referee say the ball touched the pole when it so clearly DID NOT? You know, I think I'm getting a little worked up over this, too. How could he make such a bad call?!?
Oh adorable, curly-haired future referee, you're in for a lifetime of indignation if you plan to keep watching sports. If we could only put a dollar into your college savings fund for every bad call ever made by a ref, we'd have enough to send you and your sister.
And speaking of her sister -- I love that bit at the end where she's on the fancy old-fashioned phone. Am I hearing this right -- she's talking on the phone to the pole? That doesn't even make sense. But I love it!
Do your kids watch sports with you -- I mean really watch?

ANDY AWFORD believes Pompey's targets can see they mean business after Danny Hollands' arrival.
But he promised he'll only bring in players who show they have the hunger to play for the Blues this summer.
Hollands became the first signing of Awford's tenure as manager on Thursday, as he inked an initial two-year deal after leaving Charlton.
The 28-year-old free agent turned down more lucrative offers from sides in higher divisions to be part of the Pompey project.
Bringing in the midfielder means the Blues boss has landed his 'primary target' after he shone at the end of last season while on loan at Fratton Park.
Hollands bagged five goals in six starts and showed some excellent form to heighten his status.
Despite other interest, Awford got his man and knows people will see that as a message of intent.
He said: 'Danny was always a prime target for us after what he did at the end of last season.
'We did our very best to get that deal done.
'If people want to view it as a statement of intent they can. People might look at it like that. They might look at it that way.
'We've got irons in fires and are talking to lots of players. If it helps show someone that Portsmouth are serious then great.
'I'm hoping they want to come for their own reasons and not because we are signing other players.
'I want players at this football club because they want to be here.
'If that helps them to be here that is great, though.
'Danny gives us experience, know-how, knowledge and game management in the middle of the park.
'All of those types of things are vital.
'He's a really good addition to the squad and I'm delighted to get him.'
Awford was impressed with how Hollands slotted straight into his first-team plans when he came in as caretaker boss.
The Chelsea trainee started Awford's first game at Newport County and helped turned the club's season around.
That's whetted his manager's appetite for working with him again.
Awford said: 'What did Danny bring last season? Wins! He was part of a group who did very well.
'He joined at the same time as I slotted in as manager.
'The day I took over as caretaker manager was the day he arrived on loan.
'We didn't know how he would fit in, but he took to it like a duck to water.
'I knew he was a central-midfielder player who was left sided, so he gives you that balance.
'When he came in you could see what he was.
'He had a rest against Northampton but I brought him on just after half-time because I thought he was needed.
'He was a main player for us in achieving the goals we set at the end of last season.
'Hopefully that will continue. I'm looking forward to working with him.'

I met Mike and Norma at a local drugstore in Brooklyn in early April and they both had amazing work they were willing to share.
Their post was preempted by the Tattooed Poets Project, so I thank them in advance for their patience.
Mike shared this enormous black panther tattoo that covered a huge section of his left calf:
Mike, who estimates he has about 15% coverage, also told me that this was a cover-up. "What did you cover?" I asked. "A dolphin with a tribal design," he replied. Norma indicated that covering that tattoo had been an excellent aesthetic choice.
Mike credits Chad Smith at Screamin Mimi Tattoo in Amarillo, Texas with this piece.
I then turned to Norma, who was gracious enough to share this incredibly beautiful geisha tattoo on her left calf:
Roxxy, an artist at Elite Tattoo Gallery in Fort Worth, Texas, free-handed the design. The Japanese characters form a haiku, the meaning of which Norma didn't have with her. Regardless, it's a stunning work of art.
Thanks to Mike and Norma for sharing a little bit of their extensive ink with us here on Tattoosday!
