Goal Type:
Olympic Trials Qualifier
Running Accomplishments:
Best marathon: 2:23:57 (2007, St. George). Won the Top of Utah Marathon twice (2003,2004). Won the USATF LDR circuit in Utah in 2006.
Draper Days 5 K 15:37 (2004)
Did not know this until June 2012, but it turned out that I've been running with spina bifida occulta in L-4 vertebra my entire life, which explains the odd looking form, struggles with the top end speed, and the poor running economy (cannot break 16:00 in 5 K without pushing the VO2 max past 75).
Short-Term Running Goals:
Qualify for the US Olympic Trials. With the standard of 2:19 on courses with the elevation drop not exceeding 450 feet this is impossible unless I find an uncanny way to compensate for the L-4 defect with my muscles. But I believe in miracles.
Long-Term Running Goals:
2:08 in the marathon. Become a world-class marathoner. This is impossible unless I find a way to fill the hole in L-4 and make it act healthy either by growing the bone or by inserting something artificial that is as good as the bone without breaking anything important around it. Science does not know how to do that yet, so it will take a miracle. But I believe in miracles.
I was born in 1973. Grew up in Moscow, Russia. Started running in 1984 and so far have never missed more than 3 consecutive days. Joined the LDS Church in 1992, and came to Provo, Utah in 1993 to attend BYU. Served an LDS mission from 1994-96 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Got married soon after I got back. My wife Sarah and I are parents of eleven children: Benjamin, Jenny, Julia, Joseph, Jacob, William, Stephen, Matthew, Mary, Bella. and Leigha. We home school our children.
I am a software engineer/computer programmer/hacker whatever you want to call it, and I am currently working for RedX. Aside from the Fast Running Blog, I have another project to create a device that is a good friend for a fast runner. I called it Fast Running Friend.

A.M. 3 with Benjamin, 2 with Jenny and Julia, 1 with Joseph, 0.5 with Jacob, then 6 alone with the last 3 at tempo pace. It was very wet, the trail was slippery, so the first two miles were slow, barely managed 11:43 because I had to slow down on wet parts. Then the last mile was better, and I gave it a push managing 5:36. The time for 3 miles was 17:19.
P.M. We did a 100 meter time trial for family home evening. Jacob did 26.5, Joseph 22.5, Julia's time got messed up, but was around 20, Jenny got 17.6, Benjamin's time got messed up but was around 15.0. He beat me - with street clothes and at the end of the day all I had was 15.6, which is not bad for me in those circumstances, but it was not good enough to beat him. On the second try we tied running 15.6 - I was coming from behind and had to lean at the end to avoid being beat again. I was very excited that Benjamin could run 15.0 at the age of 12 at the end of a rather cold day.. So I am estimating that he will end up with about 12.0 as an adult, and Jenny will probably be around 14.5. If those estimations hold, both will be world-class distance runners if they train right for long enough.
Happy Birthday!

Title : VIBRONIC SPECTRA OF SRF2:SM2+ AND BAF2:SM2+,
Corporate Author : AEROSPACE CORP EL SEGUNDO CALIF
Personal Author(s) : Richman,Isaac
Report Date : 22 NOV 1963
Pagination or Media Count : 11
Abstract : A model using Born-von Karmann boundary conditions, which predicts the number of vibronic satellites and the k = 0 selection rules, is proposed in this report. It is shown however that the k = 0 selection rules are too restrictive to explain the vibronic spectrum and that to obtain a satisfactory explanation transitions involving vibrations away from k = 0 must be considered. The model, when such transitions are taken into account, is shown to be consistent with the observed data. It is p9oposed that one of the modes observed in the vibronic spectrum corresponds to vibrations of the transverse optical branch, a second to the longitudinal optical branch, and a third to transitions away from k = 0 involving the Raman active branch. This model is able to quali/atively explain the differences observed in the two host lattices. (Author)

BICYCLING ACCIDENT Attorney
Record Setting Trial Verdicts & Multi-Million Dollar Settlements
Request a Free Case Evaluation!
ARIZONA BICYCLING ACCIDENT Attorney
Bicycling accident cases are our teams speciality. If you are injured in a bicycling accident, you shouldn't wait to hear from the insurance company, call our highly experienced legal team and speak to a bicycling accident attorney to see if you've got a case.
In general, a cyclist is subject to the same rules and regulations as an automobile, unless otherwise specified by the law or unless the bicycle is naturally incapable (meaning, the design of the bicycle will not allow for it to follow all of the same rules as car.) If you are involved in a serious bicycle accident, it is important that you get a bicycling accident attorney who understands the special issues and concerns that affect bicyclists.
While bicycling provides an environmentally friendly form of transportation around Phoenix and a fun way to keep physically fit, traffic conditions can make navigating local streets dangerous. There is little to protect bicyclists in collisions involving motor vehicles, and our Phoenix bicycle accident attorneys know that injuries sustained in these accidents tend to be severe.
At Cluff Law, plc our award-winning legal team is dedicated to helping you when these accidents occur. We assist you in getting the compensation you need to recover, either through an insurance claim or by filing a personal injury lawsuit against the drivers involved.
At Cluff Law, our bicycle accident attorneys in Phoenix provide compassionate, professional legal representation to people who have suffered serious and life-threatening injuries as the result of collisions with other motorists. According to the latest statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Arizona is among the top ten states in terms of fatal bike accidents, claiming the lives of more than 30 people in 2016. Thousands of others suffer serious injuries in these crashes each year, with many resulting in permanent disabilities.
The Arizona Department of Transportation (AZDOT) reports that in 2016, more than 1,350 people were injured, the majority of which occurred in Maricopa County. Our Phoenix bicycle accident attorneys represent victims of these accidents who suffer the following types of injuries:
- Broken bones;
- Severe cuts and lacerations;
- Soft tissue injuries, such as muscle and tendon sprains and tears;
- Back and neck injuries, including herniated disks and fractured vertebrae;
- Head injuries, such as concussion and traumatic brain injury;
- Spinal cord injuries, resulting in temporary or permanent paralysis.
When bicycle accidents do occur, AZDOT reports that it is often the result of negligence on the part of the driver. Speeding, disregarding traffic signals and driving distracted or under the influence, all make bicycle accidents more likely. In these situations, our Phoenix bicycle accident attorneys can help hold reckless drivers accountable for their actions, either through an insurance claim or by pursuing a lawsuit on your behalf. Damages you may be entitled to as part of a settlement include:
- Medical expenses, which provides compensation for diagnostic testing, treatment, medications, and physical therapy you need, now and in the future;
- Lost wages, along with future losses in income and benefits as the result of ongoing disabilities;
- Pain and suffering, which compensates you for any scarring or disfigurement, along with the mental anguish you and your loved ones endured.
When dealing with insurance companies, it is important to realize they are in business to make money. One of the ways they do this is by denying or undervaluing claims. When you suffer injuries that have the potential to impact your future, get the professional legal representation you need and contact Cluff Law, plc. We can arrange a free consultation with our bike accident attorneys in Phoenix to discuss your case and the types of compensation you may be entitled to. Call or contact us online today. You pay nothing unless we get money for you.
Your Rights As A Bicyclist
Know Your Rights as a Bicyclist
Many motorists may not understand that bicyclists have a right to be on the roads, and they are entitled to the same privileges and protections as any motorist. Unfortunately, this lack of understanding of the law is one of the reasons why drivers are not as cautious as they should be around cyclists. This may be the reason why bike accidents happen so frequently—motorists have a tendency to not exercise adequate care around those on bicycles, or to keep a proper lookout for cyclists.
Impaired drivers pose a substantial risk to bike riders because bicycle lanes are narrow, and so close to the automotive lanes that even the slightest veering can result in a terrible accident involving catastrophic injuries or wrongful death.
One of the main causes of death in bicycle accidents is head trauma. If you witness a bicycle accident, here are ways to know if the victim has suffered a concussive head injury.
Head Injury Symptoms
- The victim is passed out.
- The victim is confused, asking the same question over and over.
- The victim is slurring words.
- The victim is unable to stand or walk.
- The victim is vomiting, or complaining of nausea.
If a person injured in a bicycling accident has any of these symptoms, it is of critical importance that emergency medical attention be given as soon as possible. Call 911 immediately. We encourage you to always wear your bicycle helmet. This will dramatically reduce your risk of a serious head injury in the event of a bike accident, and could quite possibly be the difference between life and death.
We can get you the money you deserve for medical expenses, rehabilitation services, ambulance bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. And most importantly, we will deal with the insurance company to make sure that you don't become a victim all over again.

Rigid Y cross-connect for the Schiit Stack
Sun 17 January 2016
Based on the feedback from the Reddit community I have made a small batch of the Y version of the rigid cross-connect for the Schiit Stack.
The Y version of the cross-connect is significantly more labor intensive to manufacture which is the reason for this limited run. However I will make more if there is enough demand for it.
The Y cross-connect is available in the store.

Exercise and Dance
Leader/Coordinator: Jeannette W
Aims and Objectives of the group: The Aim is to increase the strength and flexibility of the body, to improve mobility, posture and memory recall.
The objective is to achieve this in a fun way with the use of various styles of music with some use of apparatus to extend the efforts required.
Any expertise needed: None needed.
Equipment needed (rough costs if any): Clothing must allow for movement (jogging bottoms and tee shirt) and soft shoes that allow the foot to flex (not trainers).
Maximum number permitted in the group: 40
Location, day and time of meetings: LuBya hall Manchester Place, Thursdays, 10:00am to 11:00am.
A brief description of a typical meeting: The session begins with 2 or 3 warm up items that are set to music and are repeated frequently. The leader stands in front calling the moves as they are mirrored by the group.
This is then followed by further items that will concentrate on certain body parts in readiness for the main item that is taught in small pieces building up to a whole.
The session winds down with further exercise routines that have previously been learned, some including groups or the use of a chair.
From time to time information is given on how to increase general body management i.e. how to get up from the floor or how to cross a stile safely.
The whole session is conducted in a light hearted way but with encouragement to extend their movement and aerobic capacity. There is also opportunity to chat and to make new friends.

Glad you like him - he's a beauty. He was inherited from my husband's aunt so we didn't have to pay for him, but one sold on eBay a few years ago for $275. He's not really a teapot, as he has a solid glass neck & head, & thus no need for a lid. He 's a Wayne Husted design, #6145, & there is a picture of one in the same color (jonquil)on the Blenko Museum website (blenkomuseum.org) under Husted's designer page.

I know you dislike cut and past but these comments on the Milton WV Blog - everyone should aslos read this blog about blenko and Milton daily, interesting and different views. I felt expressed the view of most every person who comments on this blog. If not then you may all send hate mail to each other. Sue M. Here it is: This is days old but new to me. Posted: Sat Feb 28, 2009 11:48 am Post subject: History of a Failing Company
After reading every post on this subject twice, I could not help but to add some comments… I find it fascinating that no one has bothered to dissect the business model (or lack thereof) that was in place before the failure of the business five years ago. Yes, the business failed over five years ago and has been dying a slow death since.
How do I justify saying that? Let's take a look at the facts. Bill Blenko, third generation, took over the business from his father who had built the glass company into a thriving business model. Bill Blenko had no other business experience or knowledge other than what he learned in school, the military, and working for his father along the way. Richard Blenko, fourth generation, stepped into the family business, because it was his birthright (just as it was his father's birthright), without any business experience or knowledge other than what he learned working at Blenko. Neither of these men had done anything else in the 'real world' to learn about running a business or a manufacturing operation. Thus beginning the demise of the company over 20 years ago.
It is well known that Bill Blenko and Richard Blenko do not get along, or even like each other. These two men could never manage the business in a forward manner. Bill was stuck in the heyday of the old days and thought it would continue as status quo. Richard went along, undermined his father and made decisions that were ultimately counterproductive to the business as a whole. They never came together to run the business; i.e. no long range business planning or financial planning, no modernization or upkeep of facilities, no true accounting system in place, still wrote the daily numbers in a ledger book, and probably do to this day; no fiscal oversight. Where did all the money go? Apparently not back into the business.
Now, let me be clear, I am not putting down Bill Blenko or Richard Blenko. I am just stating the facts as they are. Bill Blenko was always kind to the people that worked for him and did what he could to make the men and women feel appreciated. dlrl2001 has stated this in his posts, and I agree with him.
As there was no cohesive management of the company, the business began to die a slow death. Let's jump forward to 2005. A summary judgment is awarded to the Big Two Mile gas company by a COURT OF LAW regarding 'a disagreement of payments due for gas used at the factory'. This judgment was for $500,000. 'Payments due'? This means that Blenko Glass Company did not pay its bills. A company not paying its bills is called BAD BUSINESS. Instead of immediately collecting the money Ed Maier was persuaded (by Governor Manchin I heard) to hold off and let the company try and rebuild and pay back the debt. He was a decent business man and allowed this. But as any good business man does, he collects his debts, as well he should.
So now Blenko is a dying company, with no management, and no money. In their wisdom they bring in two 'outside' family members, Walter Blenko and one other, to invest money into the business. Over the course of three years these two men dump over a MILLION dollars apiece into the glass company. Did they pay off the judgment against the company? No. If they had paid off the debt immediately, the company might not be in the situation it is at this moment.
The family also hired on a new General Manager/CEO and a person to market and sell the architectural and antique glass side of the business. Both of these people had many years of experience in the business world outside of Blenko Glass Company. Business and marketing plans were created (maybe for the first time in company history) and the projected numbers showed that the company would post a profit between three and four years out.
The new CEO worked with Marshall University and brought in student interns to help with other facets of the business. One of those interns was Katie Trippe, who is now the Assistant Vice President of the company. When the Blenko family realized they did not have the patience or the deep pockets to see the restructure through, they fired the President of the company – Richard Blenko, the CEO, the marketing and sales guy, and the Assistant General Manager (who had been with the company for over 10 years). While Mrs. Trippe is probably intelligent, I wonder why the family chose to keep someone just out of college with no true business management experience and promote her to a position of running a large scale manufacturing company? They chose to continue down the same road as they did before with Bill Blenko and Richard Blenko; placing someone in charge that has no true business experience.
As a business person in WV that loves the products that Blenko Glass Company produces, it is hard to watch all of this transpire. But also, as a business person, I understand the value of doing GOOD BUSINESS and paying my debts. I understand the necessity to surround myself with people who are intelligent and have years of business experience. I understand the necessity to keep current with technology and have a Financial Officer handling the books of my company on a daily basis.
The Blenko family began digging their hole many years ago. They have finally reached bedrock and the hole is too deep to get out of. I do hope that they find 'investors' to help revive the company. But if I was going to invest my money, I would want to know that there would be experienced management in place, technology at work, and a Certified Public Accountant hired to act as CFO. But it could not continue as business as usual in any way shape or means.
The general public does not understand what has truly transpired at Blenko. People say 'it's a shame that this is happening, what can be done?' If only the truth of the matter would be made public, there would be no outcry of sympathy.
Regarding the impact on the City of Milton… The flea market brings in more people to the city in a weekend than Blenko does in a week. Once upon a time the city basked in the flow of dollars that tourists coming to Blenko spent in town, but that died years and years ago. Those that think losing Blenko is going to have a huge impact on the revenue in Milton are being naive. Just as most other small towns in America have had to learn to exist in this culture of Walmart, Milton will have to do the same without the existence of Blenko Glass.

Last year our Outward Bound circle grew larger, welcoming new students, parents, donors, educators, and staff members into our community.
We expanded our footprint – exploring a new course area in the marshy New Jersey Pinelands National Reserve and opening the doors to our new home at The Discovery Center in Philadelphia's East Fairmount Park.
More than ever, 2018 marked a year of growth for our students, whose experiences remind us that, through resilience and compassion, we have the power to change the world.
Regardless of the program, terrain, length, or curriculum, all Philadelphia Outward Bound School courses are designed with three outcomes in mind:
Participants will come away with an increase in self-confidence. Courses guide people to be more compassionate toward others and live a healthy and balanced life.
Outward Bound teaches the ability to set goals, inspire and guide others to achieve more. We encourage collaboration, communication, problem-solving and conflict-resolution.
Our instructors explain the value of social and environmental responsibility with an emphasis of actively engaging in service to others.
In 2016, Philadelphia Outward Bound School partnered with the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at University of Illinois. This research study, "Youth Character Development in Outward Bound," combines two, linked studies to gather meaningful information for Outward Bound and to advance scientific knowledge about effective character development. Findings will contribute to a knowledge base about the practices of youth development professionals, and will enhance staff training for youth programs.

I've been wanting to build a table saw sled for a while…really though its was more of a safty aspect for me than anything else. Its design is similar to others but with clean lines with extentions on each end. The extentions add an addtional 16" of width, and have 1/4" turn knobs to keep the back face true. Couple of nites down in my shop. Also made a 36" shoe horn for my son it was a fun one afternoon project

The year flipped. Everything else pretty much stays the same.
Ninsi and I had a good weekend. Went out to a club to ring in the new year. There was a curiously abundant number of Oklahomans about at the same time. It is my native state, so I understand the desire to leave it, if only for a weekend.
Never got into the whole resolutions thing. For me, it's more a facet of the holidays being over so I can get back into my regular routine of exercise.
Barley has started ripping apart the back fence with his teeth. I watched him tear a chunk off of it yesterday. Stupid dog.

19-year-old gangraped by friends in a moving car near Delhi NCR; four held
Published: 03rd August 2016 10:13 PM | Last Updated: 04th August 2016 03:43 AM | A+A A-
NEW DELHI: A 19 year old girl was allegedly gang raped in a moving car in the district of Gautam Buddh Nagar by four people known to her. Looking at the credibility crisis that the Uttar Pradesh police is currently suffering from, the authorities moving swiftly arrested all the accused. Meanwhile another case of rape with a minor has been registered.
"As the women complaint to the police and identified the suspects, all of them were tracked and arrested within the same day. The victim is a resident of Delhi and came to Greater Noida with four friends and her sister. FIR was registered and will soon file a charge sheet in the matter" Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Dharmendra Singh told Express.
On Monday evening the girl with her friends started from Delhi in Moti Bagh from where the accused also belong to, towards Greater Noida. After some argument the sister was asked to leave the car and the four arrested went further to Pari Chowk with the girl in a Tata Indica car, further according to the girl when she resisted the bid, four people took turns in raping her for two hours, informed Singh. The accused have been identified as Kalu, Yunus, Banti and Irfan.
In another case of the district on Tuesday one person was caught in Surajpur area red handed trying to rape with a minor in the kitchen of her residence, police said.
Police said the victim was sent for medico-legal test, reports of which are still awaited. The accused hails from Madhya Pradesh and was residing at a rented accommodation at Surajpur village, police said.
"Family of the victim informed the police about the incident. The person is a helper in the house. A case of rape and protection of children from sexual offences (POCSO) Act was registered against him" said a police official.

The local Area EAA Chapter has had great success with the Young Eagle Flights that it has offered.   The Young Eagle Flights have been well received by both the students who were able to go on one of these flights and also by their parents.   But, the parents have often commented that the Young Eagle Flight was a good experience, what can their children do next?   Unfortunately, we didnít have a good response.
As an attempt to fill this void, in 2000 I started offering aviation classes at Parkside Elementary as part of their After Hours Classes.   These classes initially used the ìFlight Siteî that had been donated by the Experimental Aircraft Association.   Later the Delta Dart project was added.   These classes were offered with the assistance of Larry Morlock and Mike Foushee. In the Fall of 2004 the classes moved to the Boys and Girls Club of Columbus Indiana (i.e. part of an organization called the Foundation For Youth (FFY)).   By moving the classes to the FFY, I was able to offer them classes more often and reach a better target audience.   Also, with the move to the FFY, the classes became known as the First Flights Classes. The class materials have also been used to earn the Boy Scout Aviation Merit badge and the Girl Scout Aerospace badge.
At the FFY, the First Flights classes continue to use the ìFlight Siteî that was at Parkside (i.e. when Parkside stopped using it, I was able to get it donated to the FFY). Since then I have expanded these classes to include the following projects:
There are two different ways to look at what the students gain by participating in these First Flights classes.   Both are equally valid. First and most obvious, these classes are a chance to learn about aviation. The students learn about aviation by learning some affordable/age appropriate ways to be involved in aviation, some basic model making skills and they have fun.   To do this, I have a series of projects that the students build and fly.   Beyond this, they can fly a remote control airplane, fly a flight simulator or get to go flying in an airplane. The second way to view these classes is that they are a chance to learn basic skills that can be applied in many different ways.   The skills learned can include basic math and science, weather, how to make things, goal setting and working in a group.   The FFY calls this ìstealth learningî.   I use aviation to make the classes interesting, but we are teaching skills that can be applied elsewhere.
One of the things that I have found is that these classes need to be adapted to where ever they are offered.   Some examples of this is that the Parkside Elementary School library, where we previously offered classes, has a great balcony for launching gliders. Tthe classes at the airport offered a nice outside area for flying models (i.e. outside the fence) and the ability to take the kids out on to the airport ramp when the models are drying.   The classes at the Foundation For Youth have the ability to reserve the gym for flying of models.   However, the FFY classes need to be more flexible, as attendance varies depending on whether the students are able to attend each week (i.e. this may depend on which parent they are staying with that week or when they are getting picked up).
For these classes each student is issued their own set of tools to use for the project. This allows each student to focus on their own project.   They do not have to spend time figuring out where the needed tools went or if someone is making their project faster.   Furthermore, every attempt is made to use tools that are low cost and can be purchased locally (i.e. this gives examples of what they could use if they want to be making the projects at home).
In making the model airplanes, we want the students to learn how to build the models correctly and safely.   The tools the students are issued to use have been selected to be as safe as possible. Rather than use single edge razor blades we use razor blade holders to keep fingers further away from the shape edge.   The modeling knives we use can not roll off the table. Students are directed to keep knives retracted or covered when not in use.   For the glider projects they use scissors rather than modeling knives to cut the balsa sheets.   The glues that the students use are washable (i.e. when CA glue is used it is used by one of the adults).   Finally, the students are told early in the first session that horseplay will not be tolerated.
Because I want to make sure each student has a chance to see their project fly and fly well, we donít let them take their projects home until they have flown them with us.   This way we can show them how to adjust their projects to make them fly well.   It also ensures that they leave with a sense of accomplishment about their projects rather than frustration.   Further, having heard stories like ìWhen I took it home, my cat jumped on itî, ìit got broken in my backpackî or ìmy little brother broke itî we want to make sure that they have seen their projects fly well.   Having an indoor gym at the FFY in which to fly the models is a big advantage (i.e. the weather is dependable; the models canít fly away and it helps with keeping the kids together).
In offering these classes I try to make sure each group gets to see the EAA video ìYoung Eagleî.   This video is fifteen years old. Still,it has an excellent message, namely, that one needs to have goals and the only way to achieve ones goals is to work toward achieving them.   It uses a boy and his chance to fly in a Curtiss Jenny to demonstrate this concept. I view this as a very important message, independent of where each of the studentís interests may lead.
Another goal of these classes is to keep the cost of offering these classes as low as possible.   An example of this is that the raw materials for projects are purchased in bulk and I can use my band saw to cut the wood to the needed sizes.   The students then need only to round off the ends and make some measurements to apply some reference marks.   By the doing this, the cost of the materials for most of the projects can be kept to less than $1.00/each.   Another example is that 35 Delta Dart kits can be purchased for $42.32. By keeping the cost low it isnít a big issue when something needs to be replaced due to errors in making the project or when repairing a project which has broken.   Cost also is kept down by making my own jigs.   Rather having to purchase the $10.00 jigs for setting the dihedral of Delta Dart wings, I made jigs from some scrap material.   Also, for winding the rubber motors of the Delta Darts, simple fixtures were made to hold them and a hand drill makes a good winder rather than purchasing a "special tool".   As a side note, the Copy Paper Squirrel is an excellent alternative to the Delta Dart. Part of why I offer these classes is seeing the joy that the students have in taking these classes and part is knowing these students wouldnít be learning/exposed to these things if these classes werenít being offered. The students clearly want to be in these classes as demonstrated by the disappointment of the students that can not be fit into a particular session. Or the joy when they get to see the projects that they made fly well and the surprise in finding out they get to take their projects home with them. This is also demonstrated by the nice Christmas cards that the students of the classes made for me or by stopping to say Hi to me when they see me outside of these classes. Another example of offering these classes is when a group of 55 kids visited the Columbus Municipal Airport. They toured the airport and made/flew the Fantastic Flyer project. This group can be seen in the picture below and their feedback was: ìThe kids absolutely loved it! Thank you so much for organizing this and allowing our children this great opportunity! The staff thought it was one of the better field trips we have done in the past few years. The kids loved the gliders and the opportunity to see a helicopter. If we do this in the future, hopefully the weather will be better! Thank you!î Danelle Cord
This website was put together as a way to share what has been developed for these classes and to receive feedback about these classes. I have received the following feedback about this website:
So, this is a basic summary of the First Flights classes that I offer. If you would like more details, please let me know.Brett Herrick

Today, we celebrate Memorial Day, a holiday specifically created to honor Americans who died while serving in our nation's military. Since 1775, nearly 1 million brave men and women have lost their lives to protect our freedom. It's an extraordinary sacrifice and one for which I'm incredibly grateful.
For many, Memorial Day signals the unofficial start of summer; however, I hope that Americans will also take a moment to honor our veterans. On this day, we all have an opportunity to pay-it-forward and remember veterans who have given so much.
At WellCare, we fly our flags at half-staff to honor those who lost their lives in the line of duty. And, as I gather with my family and friends, we will reflect on how fortunate we are and thank our veterans for protecting our freedom.
How will you celebrate Memorial Day this year? Will you visit a memorial or attend a local parade? We'd love to hear how you plan to observe this important national holiday.
Kenneth A. Burdick is the CEO of WellCare Health Plans.

Economic Regionalization in the Asia-pacific
Challenges to Economic Cooperation
M. Dutta
Chapter 14: A Conversation with LEE TSAO YUAN
M. Dutta
Page 139 14 A Conversation with LEE TSAO YUAN Q. People describe APEC in many different words and everybody is anxious to say it is different from the European Union, the North American Free Trade Area and the ASEAN Free Trade Area. How would you define APEC? A. APEC is, of course, an acronym for Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation and I think that very aptly describes what has been happening in the last six years of APEC. To borrow an analogy by Gareth Evans, "APEC is like a threetiered wedding cake, the first level being that of useful dialogue, the second being that of trade facilitation, where you begin to discuss the terms of harmonization of standards, customs, implementation of tariff data bases, and so on, and the third tier would be one in which I think APEC has just made a political commitment to the whole area of trade liberalization". So APEC to me is a process, it is a process of economic cooperation. I think that the countries of AsiaPacific are at this point in time in many ways still groping towards finding out what form this economic cooperation will take. I do think that the APEC Summit in Bogor in November 1994 had actually given APEC a much greater substance in terms of form than ever before. At this summit, the economic leaders of 18 APEC membernations signed the Declaration and made the political commitment to establish free and open trade and investment by...

Financial services organisations are risking missing out on the full potential of their technology systems, with over half (52%) of all senior business decision-makers only replacing their in-house solutions in reaction to the technology becoming outdated.
Research commissioned by data quality solutions providers Asset Control also found that 49% of the sample said they were driven to schedule changes by "the increase in digitalisation within the business" and 48% by "the need to keep pace with the competition".
According to Asset Control, the findings highlight the difficulties financial services firms face in implementing in-house systems – some 94% of respondents said they expected to encounter challenges of some sort when building a solution in-house.
These challenges often lead, directly or indirectly, to greater costs, the company claims. "Skills/resourcing" was the biggest challenge that respondents expected to encounter when building a solution in-house, highlighted by 62%, followed by "staying within budget", referenced by 60%. More than half the sample (54%) cited "scope change: having to adapt the solution to meet changing regulations or business requirements".
Asset Control vice-president of marketing and strategy, Martijn Groot, said that the gradual accumulation of additional costs is one of the biggest problems with the in-house approach to technology development in financial services.
He added: "Internal solutions are often approached as a project, a one-off cost and not regarded, and consequently budgeted, as an ongoing concern. This is unrealistic in a fast-changing financial services landscape."
For many financial services organisations, the costs of internal solutions do ramp up. Nearly, three-quarters of the overall sample (73%) reported that they had "experienced additional costs after implementing an internal solution". The most common additional cost was "hiring new developers because of previous developers leaving the business". This was referenced by 60% of respondents in total.
"The one-off approach, if executed well, may look attractive given that the firm is best placed to cater to its own specific requirements," Groot added. "However, the subsequent maintenance costs to keep the lights on, and evolve the feature set to cope with emerging requirements, are large. Change is a given and any project scope is always shooting at a moving target. If their ROI horizon is only until go-live, the result will be a continuous 'project mode'.
"Unfortunately, the true costs and constraints of an internally-developed solution often only become clear when firms need to change things."

Anti-Hacking and Scamming tips
There's few games that have as much scamming and hacking as the free-to-play MMORPG Runescape, which makes it very important that you do everything you can do to prevent your Runescape account to get scammed or hacked. In this guide we will talk about a few things you can follow and think about when it comes to account safety, we will talk from past experience and from guides and tutorials I have read on the internet.
My friend has being a victim of scams and hacking when he played Runescape as a kid, and he even got his whole account cleaned and all his items and gold stolen, he know now what he did wrong and what he shouldn't have done with his account. As a kid he was extremely vulnerable for hacks and scam, because he didn't know better, but he do now.
This guide is great for players who play Runescape and wants to avoid getting hacked or scammed, but the guide is also great for parents who wants to prevent
their children who plays this game (or any other online game for that matter)
getting hacked or tricked in-game. Because it can be a cruel world out there, even online.
How-to Avoid getting Hacked in RS
Here's a few things you can do to prevent getting your Runescape account hacked. Most of them are just common sense, but sometimes we need to be reminded about that also
1.Don't visit Runescape related websites that you don't already know about and that feel fish
2.Don't download anything Runescape related, unless it's something official from Jagex. Stay away from bots is my best advice really. And if you have to download something then scan it first, you can use VirusTotal to scan your file. Just google VirusTotal to find this free to use Virus scanner. And stay away from .zip files
3.Never open and follow links in e-mails that you don't trust or that look weird. If the mail says it's from Runescape or Jagex, double check the mail and see if it's really from them before you follow any links.
4.Only login with your Runescape account and password on the official website.
5.Make sure your antivirus is updated and working. And don't forget searching for spyware and ad-aware now and then, SpyBot is a free to use software that works just great, download and use it at least once a week.
6.Make sure your antivirus is updated and working. And don't forget searching for spyware and ad-aware now and then, SpyBot is a free to use software that works just great, download and use it at least once a week.
7.Update Windows and your Java frequently.
8.Use only Firefox, Chrome or any other trusted internet browser, and keep it updated.
9.Never ever give out your password in the game, in a mail, on a website. NEVER do it. Jagex will never ask for it, they know it already!
10.There's no such thing as a Runescape pin generator or any such software. It's a keylogger that it will steal your account.

whittling and turning a maple bowl.
I enjoyed having Scott Bultman and his crew Jay and John for their visit, and for extended conversations about Froebel, both on and off camera. Kindergarten for most people has become a thing in name only for most people who have so little understanding of Froebel's original intent. It is refreshing to spend time in the company of others who share a similar vision of what education should and could be for all students.
Some of my high school students began turning bowls. I am turning one of my own using a large piece of maple provided by a friend. My student's bowls are rather small and from dry wood. My own is large and green so will take additional steps. The first steps were to roughly shape the outside and then begin removing material on the inside. It is somewhat nerve wracking to turn such a large piece. When not on the lathe I keep it in a plastic bag to keep it from cracking. More steps will come on it next week.
Make, fix, create, and increase the likelihood that others learn likewise.

Salivary heme proteins distinguish Rhodnius prolixus from Rhodnius robustus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae)
Soares RPP, Gontijo NF, Romanha AJ, Diotaiuti L, Pereira MH.
Rhodnius prolixus interpopulations variability was studied based o a new approach using salivary heme proteins (nitrophorins) electrophoresis in starch gel. We compared salivary proteins profiles of R. prolixus from three different laboratory colonies from Honduras, Venezuela, Brazil and Rhodnius robustus from Venezuela, constructing a UPGMA. The Honduran and Venezuelan populations could be not distinguished from each other, but the Brazilian population was well separated from the others. The high similarity between Honduran and Venezuelan specimens lends support to current theories that the Central American populations of R. prolixus may have been introdiuced from a Venezuelan origin. The low polymorphism shown by the Honduran specimens is in a agreement with a possible founder effect. This new approach alsop distinguished R. prolixus populations from R. robustus, species with extreme phenotypical similarity.

Google+ has opened to businesses and allowed us to create business pages, have you created your business page yet?
In order to protect the names of my blogs (my brands) and ensure that someone else does not "accidentally" take those names in Google+ business pages, I decided to ensure that I registered my blog names under my account.
Stop and think for a minute, how difficult will it be for you to get your blog's name back from someone else who decided that they liked the name as much as you do. If you have already registered the name of your "brand" under your Google account now, even if you don't use the page, you will not have to worry about someone else taking your brand's name.
So here are my two Google+ business pages:
|One Foot In Reality Google+ Business page
|A Veteran Runnah Google+ Business page
Is this a reasonable precaution to take to ensure that someone else doesn't take your Brand's name on Google+? I personally believe that it is and that is why I so quickly decided to ensure that I setup those pages. Even though I am extremely small time, it makes good sense to me at least, to be proactive, instead of reactive down the road.
Think about it. If you have your own blog do you want someone else to be using the good will and your good name on Google+'s business pages? In other words think very strongly about what you can do to protect your personal brand (blog name).
I did and I have both of my blogs' name in my Google+ account with their own Google+ page and even if I don't ever use them, no one else will either.
I predict that Google+ business pages are going to be an important part of your social networking for your blog/business in the future – be proactive.
