When I set this website up in 2015, it looked pretty okay. But today it has become super dated and, unfortunately, due to some technology and supplier choices I made back in 2015, it has proven very difficult to update or upgrade. So, recently I took the difficult decision to prepare to abandon this old site and set up home on a new domain: www.triathletediary.com.
The new site already has a ton of new blogs and some nice new triathlon gear reviews.
I'm moving a good portion of the old content from this site over to the new one, but I guess not everything will make it.
I hope you find your way to the new site before this old site gets permanently redirected.
Thanks for visiting!

Quilter: For Quilts Sake
"Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom"
Made by Pam Geisel of For Quilts Sake in Yellow Springs, Ohio, Mar. 2011 for Project Quilting Season 2, Challenge 6, Large Scale Print.
24" x 28.5"
My creative process and how I made it:
I don't usually use a lot of large scale prints, but I did have half a yard of one with large overlapping yellow, orange, pink and burgundy flowers that I'd bought several years ago for a purpose that I don't remember now. It's just been sitting in my stash taunting me.
When this challenge was posted I knew I wanted to finally use that fabric and a layout came to me rather quickly, it was just the stripe that had me concerned. I've used striped fabric before (I like to use them for bindings) but when I've gone to buy them I usually haven't liked the selection of striped fabric. Because of that concern I actually came up with a second layout using a different large scale print that went with a striped fabric I already had in my possession.
Off to the fabric store (the only one of the six challenges that I've had to buy fabric for). I wanted a stripe fabric with at least one of the colors in the large scale print but not something too formal or straight. The very first striped fabric I found was perfect, and how often does that happen? I did check out all the other options but went back to the first one, a yellow fabric with an orange stripe that looked like it was made with a crayon, so not too formal or straight! And it was a remnant, so I got it for half price.
I also purchased the burgundy background fabric because I wanted something that was mostly solid so it wouldn't compete with the large scale print or the stripe but it had just enough color variation to provide some visual texture.
I pieced the background fabric to the stripes so the stripes are horizontal on the left and right inner borders and vertical on the top and bottom. Then to be a little different, I cut out one stripe and ran it the other direction going length-wise on the left side of the background (more obvious on the detail photos).
Then I pieced the corner blocks and added the large scale print fabric as borders. (Regarding the first part of this challenge: including the seams I used about one quarter of a yard of my large scale print fabric.)
Before I added the other elements, I quilted the burgundy background at this time with slightly-curved horizontal lines in both a dark burgundy and a pink thread to give it more visual depth (the dark burgundy thread is a little hard to see in the photos). I quilted stitch-in-the-ditch on both sides of the yellow stripe border then did the same slightly-curved horizontal lines in the borders, going all the way across the top and bottom borders and doing shorter waves on the side borders.
I wanted a visual element to go on the burgundy background that had the same energy that the large scale print had but at a smaller scale so I made the three "fabric mosaics." I fused many small pieces of orange, pink and burgundy fabrics on a square orange background allowing the mosaic pieces to form unusual angles at where they stopped.
I covered them with netting (which provides the sparkle that shows in the photo) and quilted them together with a purple-y thread and also an orange thread. I folded the raw edges under then machine appliquéd the mosaics to the background, aligning the top and bottom blocks so they were centered on the yellow stripe.
To hold the yarn and ribbons in the center of the fabric mosaic blocks I considered at least 10 sets of items including shells, plastic rings and round paper clips but decided to use three square buttons from a blouse I bought about 18 years ago (I probably bought the blouse because I liked the buttons) and when it was time for it to become a rag I saved the buttons…and my husband even recognized that they were from a blouse that I used to have).
I twisted different yarns (including fun fur) horizontally across the quilt and added beads every few inches to hold them in place.
Because there are so many overlapping flower images, I titled this "Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom."

Mum-burst Medallion
This is my entry to Project Quilting 2:6. I recreated the designs from my inspiration fabric in 3-dimensions to make this circular wall quilt. I loved the white mums and elegant leaf sprays in the large scale print!! The mum stands out three dimensionally, but is also dramatically accented with the orange starbust below it, setting it off from the light background fabric. The designs in that background fabric were pretty subtle in color contrast, so I quilted around them in outlines to really make them more visible. The stripe called for in the challenge was also a very subtle contrasting fabric, but cut on the bias added just another little spin around the circle, similar to the spin of the orange star points. The piece was looking very circular and symmetrical, which I really love, but to break that up a little and add some interest, I added the branch of blue leaves.
The room photo shows how happy this piece looks in my studio in Urbandale, IA. It's 17" in diameter and very me!!

Spinning Spiral Flower Bag and Reflection Bag
Marcia Wachuta Boscobel, Wisconsin of Marcia's Crafty Sewing and Quilting
I made one large bag and one small bag. I did the mosaic so you can see both sides of the bag. Left side - one side of the bag with the three flowers and the quilted reflection bag. Top Right - the large spinning flower and the quilted refection bag. Middle Right - close up of the large spinning spiral flower. Bottom Right - view of the bottom of the bag, so you can see the connection of the stem from one side of the bag to the other side of the bag.
For challenge six, I used two large scale print fabrics (more than 1/8th of a yard of each one) and some stripes and plaids. I cut them all up into skinny strips and made the four spinning spiral flowers - a large flower on one side and three smaller flowers on the other side.
So I took a large scale print fabric and cut it up and then turned it back into a large scale print fabric by raw edge appliquéing the flowers on the yellow fabric. Then I quilted it with swirls and wiggle lines and constructed a HUGE Bag from the quilted fabric. I also quilted some extra yellow fabric and made a "quilted reflection" of the large bag. There are no raw edges on the inside of the bag. I bound the seams with the yellow binding too.

"Koi Transformation"
Measurements: 25"x32"
This quilt gave me some real challenges this week. I found this koi fabric and knew it would be hard to work with considering the pink and turquoise. I cut it in two pieces, added a turquoise border and started to make another border using squares cut in two with strips down the middle of them. I got half way done with the border as the one picture shows and didn't like it at all. It was just plain boring.
After sleeping on it (not the quilt) I almost scrapped it but decided to just cut it into four pieces and move them around to divide up the colors a little better. I sewed them back together and added borders between and around the whole piece. It still needed more so I drew the koi fish, bonded it on and used raw edge appliqué, marker and paint to finish it off. I really liked the look of the added koi fish and if I had more time I would have added another one in the upper right corner, too. I also would have quilted it a bit more with some free motion quilting on the fish for scales and texture.
I'm happy with how it turned out considering how frustrated I was with it on Thursday! I don't think I could ever totally scrap a quilt and always find them salvageable in some way.

Sugary Sweet Baby Quilt
For my Big Print entry, I made a fun and funky baby quilt featuring a cool big print running slightly off centered across the quilt. The striped print is used on either side of the large scale print. The pink outer border fabric and bright yellow binding are also bigger prints.
To feature large scale prints in different ways I also used one cut up as the blue center of the tilted nine patch blocks, and I used the border fabric cut thin for sashings next to the striped print. The tilted nine patch blocks are something new that I tried and I like the feel of movement that they give to the quilt.
Since it's a quilt that will be washed, It's stabilized quilted in the ditch along all the borders and blocks, and all over quilted with a fun loop - loop in the big print and borders.
Quilt measures 30" x 42" and was made in Jessup MD

Piecing History Together
I'm Jennifer Rodriguez, art quilting in West Jordan, UT.
My mini art quilt is a 18" square.
My final piece for Project Quilting was inspired by the devastation in Japan. Sadly in addition to the immediate loss of loved ones and homes, there is also the loss of historical artifacts and destruction to sacred land. My quilt is about Japan piecing their lives and history back together.
My required large print is a traditional Japanese scene of young women with umbrellas. I cut the print up and removed a few pieces. They were fused on to a striped fabric - the striped fabric included shades orange brown for land and blue for water. I also add irregular shaped pieces of additional orange brown and blue fabric to symbolize the earthquake and tsunami.
The piece was then quilted in numerous horizontal lines. These quilted lines helped create a cohesive look, bringing the pieces of the original print back together. When you stand back from the quilt, it is not immediately obvious that the fabric was cut. It is only when you get closer that you notice the cracks and separations.
It was bound in the same deep blue to symbolize the water surrounding Japan.

Kitty Window
Here is my entry for this weeks challenge. I am calling it Kitty Window. The large print fabric is a piece full of kitties rolling around in a field of yarn. I got this remnant piece from a fabric store a few years ago. I liked the piece and didn't know when I would use it but had to have it. It reminded me of my sister in law who love cats and I wanted to make something for her with it. The piece measured about 18 inches by 16 inches. I cut it in 4 pieces and put it together with a brown fabric so it would look like a window looking into a room full of cats playing with yarn

Miss California Poppy close up
The inspiration for my quilt's name comes from the following poem:
Miss California Poppy, gay
Is happy all the live-long day,
And though some poppies grow much taller,
She's brighter, she's brighter even though she's smaller.
(unknown 1930s children's book)
As soon as I saw this week's challenge, I knew I wanted to use some fabric with large poppies. I have also used this fabric for curtains and though bright and bold, I love it because it reminds me of California (poppies are California's state flower), which is where I grew up. With this California theme in mind, for the quilt top, I first cut my poppies so that I could layer them and make them appear abundant (this also ate up more than 1/8 yard, surprisingly!). It also gave me a chance to practice applique again. I also wanted the poppies to take on a framed look (or perhaps I was just itching to try another new technique), so I reverse appliqued my California template. Although I probably had enough poppies at this point, I love them so much that I appliqued a few more and did some light embroidery as well. Finally, since California is known as the Golden State and I typically think of it as being sunny (which it isn't, but I have a rosy view now that I am in the Midwest), I appliqued a sun to the quilt top as well. Since part of the challenge was to also use stripes or plaid, I used a herringbone background and emphasized the stripes by quilting down the horizontal lines.
I normally use plain quilt backs, but having researched California's state symbols, I decided to spice it up a bit. First, I discovered that California has a tartan! Ooh, how I really wanted to use this on the front, but the plaid was a bit too clashing for me. So I printed it onto fabric and decided to use it on the back. Next, California's colors are blue and gold. These colors are also in the tartan so I decided I would create a row using the tartan and blue and gold. Finally, California's state bird is the quail. How could I resist?! I found a quail image online and used that to create a quail applique.
For the quilting, I quilted around the appliqued poppies, California, and the sun. I was careful to avoid quilting on top of the quail because I like it better without the lines going through it. I also quilted following the horizontal lines of the herringbone to play up the stripes part of this challenge. Finally, because I liked the quail, I wanted the quilt to be able to hang from either direction. I like attaching the quilts to the wall directly, so I placed little triangle sleeves on both the front and the back of the quilt. I put them at the top and the bottom so that perhaps they would look a little like the corner tabs used to hold pictures in photo albums. Looking at the quilt now reminds me of a gigantic California postcard!
This quilt was made in Milwaukee, WI and is 18.5" X 22".

Funky Froggy Flowers
My large scale print had lots of color and some frogs. It's a cute print but I didn't want it to be all about frogs. I wanted to really play with textures and that helped disguise the frogs a bit. One flower had petals that are very bumpy - created with texture magic. Another flower was quitled with batting before being appliqued. The circular flowers are similiar to yo-yos but I used heavy stabilizer in a circle that was a bit to big - this gave a gentle buckling wave to the circles. Buttons are in the center of the circle flowers. The stems for the large flowers are made from a braid of floss of several different shades of green.
The vase is a striped fabric that I pleated and stitched the other edges, then stitched the center the opposite direction to give it more interest and texture.
The quilting is diagonal wavy lines.
I originally intended to do the binding on the bias but with the diagonal quilting I preferred the straight stripes.

Spring is HERE!!!
Ohhh I went totally traditional and true to my simple aesthetic with simple squares and with the focus on the spring quote from Shelley:
"And Spring arose on the garden fair;
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;"
Had to add a bird and buttons to add to the vintagey feel of these Moda fabrics (3 sisters Faded Memories).
The flower petals were glued on with fabric glue in the shape of a bluebonnet (since I'm in TX and we're in that season now! yipeee!!) I free-motion quilted all around on the top and bottom and FMQ the grass/leaves/stem on the bottom of the flower. I know that I tend to not do things perfectly, but the wonderful thing that I've learned through this process is to keep creating with your heart! This always produces something that I love! Which is the point, right?

Grandma's Garden - modern table runner
Kristen Hallagan - Rochester NY
For the final challenge I used one of my favorite large prints - geranium from Martha Negley.
I also was inspired by the modern quilting movement and decided to use Kona white to highlight the print.
I started with a 12" block thinking I would use a series of 12" blocks to make the table runner. However, after completing the 2nd block I did not like it next to the 1st - scale was off...so I chopped it in 1/2 and decided to add random sized parts rather than 12" blocks...as I progressed if I thought a section needed more color, I would cut it apart and add another block of print. I added a patchwork wonky strip of greens and had one in shades of orange but cut that out as I decided to stay with the blues/greens.
this challenge also require us to use a stripe or plaid so I used a stripe cut on the bias for the binding and decided to use linear quilting stitched to create the impression of a stripes.
the final size ended up being about 12" x 55"
I added some print to the back and appliquéd one of the geranium blossoms on the back so that if you wanted, the table runner can be used on either side.
it was a lot of fun watching it grow .... rather than following a set pattern - kind of like a garden grows!

Spring Converges
I used some fun fabrics to create a converged wall hanging for this challenge. I chose to converge 'White Humming Birds' from Michael Miller, Laura Gunn's Big Poppy Spice fabric and a striped fabric.
If you've been watching my pieces through the seasons I've done convergence before - so I knew when I decided that this is what I wanted to do for this challenge I knew it would have to be above and beyond the past. I went with combining a few of Ricky Tim's techniques from his book Ricky Times Convergence Quilts: Mysterious, Magical, Easy and Fun- with Divide and Conquer Convergence with a touch of Grand Convergence. I think the convergence technique really appeals to me because you have to really trust your gut that your fabric choices are going to work. There's not much 'laying' out prior to cutting to be able to 'see' what's going to happen – it's all about the gut. Once the convergence portion was done - I added the borders and appliquéd some flowers and birds to the quilt. As I stepped back and looked at I decided it wasn't enough yet...
So, made some yo-yo's and had them cascade across the quilt. To add the final touch - I found some tiny circular mirrors in my stash and glued them to the center of the yoyo flowers.
I really like all the movement this quilt creates.

***Sometimes 'life' happens during the weeks of the Project QUILTING challenge. I love that some are still using these challenges as inspiration for future projects. Here are a couple of WIP quilts inspired by this weeks challenge:
Quilter:Aunt Cindy's Attic
Ready to Break Through - Finger Paint Depiction of My Project Quilting Week 6 Concept
This is as far as my entry got this week. I found some giant floral fabric on a brown background. Alone it was kind of ugly and looked a bit like fabric my mom had in her bedroom in the late 70s. I thought it looked a bit like the flowers were buried. Then I thought, "Sure they are, they just haven't come up yet!". I planned to piece a background of various browns and applique the flowers on top of those.
There is a bit of brown on the top of the piece. My 3 year old son (who has been sick this week) decided to help with my picture as well as paint his own.
It took far less time to create this *fine* piece of artwork than to make the actual quilted piece, though I still have the urge to make it.

crane improv quilt blocks
I'm sharing my WIP here, just because it's inspired by the challenge. I knew I wouldn't be able to finish this one since the person who makes my sewing possible was out of town taking care of his mother this week (cancer: keeping daughters-in-law from quilting since 1884!).
But I didn't want to do nothing, so I took the opportunity to slice into a Robert Kaufman crane print I've had sitting around. I fussy cut 7 crane images and then went at them improv-style. I started out thinking it was going to be something like a wonky log cabin, but the cranes seemed to want a straight setting and I happily diverged from log cabin.
I don't think I've ever improvised an entire project before! Which is crazy since I improvise pants and stuffed animals and muffins all the time. I'm having a lot of fun with these, not sure where I'll go next, but I thought I'd share since I wouldn't have cut into that piece of fabric at all if it weren't for Project Quilting. Thanks Kim and everyone!

- The second is, I will not be listing myself (KimsCraftyApple) on the Public Vote. Since this is my 'creation' I will never win any of the prizes – I don't want to seem like this is biased towards me at all. I'm doing this merely for the fun, the challenge, and the camaraderie. I will still, however, be showing off my entry AND sending it to the judges for their score and critique.

Mr. Palmer wants to know: Obviously I'm big or I wouldn't be here. I'm about 5'9 and weigh around 265. My problem is that I have no clue as to what kind of hat fits us bigger guys. I'm so tired of always wearing a baseball hat and I want a different look. What are y'all's opinions?
I'm a hat enthusiast, so we've covered big hats for big guys in the past. One of our favorite places to shop for hats in a variety of styles is Goorin Bros. They make a ton of hats for every size and shape of head, plus they offer them in extended sizes. See also: Brixton's fall headwear collection.
Heavymuffintop asked: Hey, I gotta know where guys with a waist over 40 (mine is 42-44) FIND PANTS! Like, nice tailored ones that aren't super baggy and make my butt look good. I'd prefer a skinny jean/chino style if possible. All I've been able to find are american eagle jeans. HELP?
(Matthew was kind enough to take on this question:) This is an easy one. Seven for all Mankind go up to 42. True Religion up to 44. Lucky Jeans up to 42. But my tip for anyone, no matter the size, is get your jeans tailored. $60 bucks in hemming and having them take in the thighs and leg will make you wear the jeans even more, getting more for your money. I take my old jeans in to have the hem/cut refined as the styles change. All of my bootcuts have been changed to straight leg for about $30. Way cheaper than buying new.

The concept is the one that stands before you and blocks the light of truth. The idea that grips to a separateness that says you are not the creator of everything you experience.
Go slow here… dear one. For your creator-ship is simply how you choose to perceive whatever it is that arises in your world. What is the concept that says you are not in full power of this that there exists something 'out there' that is beyond the scope of your divinity?
The mind tries so hard in its personhood to disprove this. Looking for the slightest hope that hanging on to victimhood could still be possible. What does it shout out? What does it proclaim? And who is this one that is not also everything?
Is your concept that someone else should have acted different? Is your concept that life got it wrong? Is your concept that you need something you don't have? On and on it will go, and my not-so-apologetic apology for call it out like this, but I do so for my own sake. Knowing that I only write, speak, and share to myself.
How adamantly are you willing to defend your heartbreak? Or is there a willingness to lay it and down and see beyond the mind's confusion?
Is your heartbreak anything other than a thought that fears you're not loved, supported, and infinitely taken care of? If so, lay it down, and see that you are all of these things already.

DENVER - A nearly 700-page study released Sunday by the Army found that "in the euphoria of early 2003," U.S.-based commanders prematurely believed their goals in Iraq had been reached and did not send enough troops to handle the occupation.
DENVER - A nearly 700-page study released Sunday by the Army found that "in the euphoria of early 2003," U.S.-based commanders prematurely believed their goals in Iraq had been reached and did not send enough troops to handle the occupation.
President George W. Bush's statement on May 1, 2003, that major combat operations were over reinforced that view, the study said.
It was written by Donald P. Wright and Col. Timothy R. Reese of the Contemporary Operations Study Team at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., who said that planners who requested more troops were ignored and that commanders in Baghdad were replaced without enough of a transition and lacked enough staff.
Gen. William S. Wallace, commanding general of U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, said in a foreword that it's no surprise that a report with these conclusions was written.
"One of the great and least understood qualities of the United States Army is its culture of introspection and self-examination," he wrote.
The report said that the civilian and military planning for a post-Saddam Iraq was inadequate, and that the Army should have pushed the Joint Chiefs of Staff for better planning and preparation.
Retired military leaders, members of Congress, think tanks and others have already concluded that the occupation was understaffed.
At least 4,113 U.S. military members have died in Iraq, according to a count by The Associated Press.
Hundreds of commanders and other soldiers and officials were interviewed for the report released Sunday. The Army ordered the study to review what happened in the 18 months after the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime. A report on the invasion was released earlier.
The report said that after Saddam's regime was removed from power, most commanders and units expected to transition to stability and support operations, similar to what was seen in Bosnia and Kosovo.
Commanders with the mindset that victory had already been achieved believed that a post-combat Iraq would require "only a limited commitment by the U.S. military and would be relatively peaceful and short as Iraqis quickly assumed responsibility," the study said.
"Few commanders foresaw that full spectrum operations in Iraq would entail the simultaneous employment of offense, defense, stability, and support operations by units at all echelons of command to defeat new, vicious, and effective enemies," it added.
The report said the first Bush administration and its advisers had assumed incorrectly that the Saddam regime would collapse after the first Gulf War.
When Saddam was so quickly defeated in 2003, there was an absence of authority that led to widespread looting and violence, the report said. Soldiers initially had no plan to deal with that. The administration's decision to remove Saddam's followers entirely from power caused governmental services to collapse, "fostering a huge unemployment problem," it said.
Planners in the Iraq headquarters said 300,000 troops would be needed for the occupation. Even before the invasion, some planners had called for 300,000 troops to be sent for the invasion and occupation.
During an April 16, 2003, visit to Baghdad, coalition commander Gen. Tommy Franks told his subordinate leaders to prepare to move most of their forces out of Iraq by September of that year, the report noted.
"In line with the prewar planning and general euphoria at the rapid crumbling of the Saddam regime, Franks continued to plan for a very limited role for U.S. ground forces in Iraq," the report said.
The report said it wasn't until July 16, 2003, that Franks' successor, Gen. John Abizaid, said coalition forces were facing a classic guerrilla insurgency.
Even so, the coalition made some progress, only to have its optimism dashed after the insurgency boiled over in April 2004, when Sunni Arab insurgents and Shiite militias launched violent assaults in many parts of Iraq, the report said.
The authors said the Army had considerable experience and training for guerrilla wars but had not been in one like Iraq since 1992 in Somalia. They said former Secretary of State Colin Powell warned Franks "that he thought too few troops were envisioned in the (invasion) plan."
Some commanders told the authors they asked about plans for making the country stable and got no answers.
The "post-war situation in Iraq was severely out of line with the suppositions made at nearly every level before the war," the report said.
Its writers said it was clear in January 2005 that the Army would remain in Iraq for some time, the writers concluded. The report covered the period from May 2003 to January 2005.

University of Wisconsin Tax-Sheltered Annuity 403(b) Plan
Ameriprise Financial, one of the approved investment providers for your 403(b) plan, has been offering 403(b) services since 1962. We'll help you build a confident retirement through a comprehensive and personalized approach built on a long-term relationship with a knowledgeable advisor.
University of Wisconsin 403(b) page
Your 403(b) plan is a supplement to the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) pension plan which provides retirement benefits for employees of the State of Wisconsin and most local units of government in Wisconsin. See http://etf.wi.gov/ for more information.
Get started today
Our advisors have been trained on University of Wisconsin benefits and can help you plan for retirement, develop investment strategies and help you manage your taxes more efficiently.
Investment options for your 403(b)
RiverSource® Retirement Group Annuity II
A variable annuity can work for you through every stage of your investing life – from growing your money, to receiving income in retirement, to leaving a financial legacy for your heirs. Variable annuities are insurance products that are complex, long-term investment vehicles that are subject to market risk, including the potential loss of principal invested.
How we can help you reach your retirement goal
- Access to a broad range of investment options. You can invest in subaccounts that include stocks, bonds (or a blend of the two) that have the potential to perform well in a variety of market conditions.
- Flexible income options. At retirement you can choose to take a lump sum withdrawal, set up systematic payments or choose an income stream that can be guaranteed to last as long as you live.
- Transfer your wealth. Death benefits guarantee your beneficiaries will receive at least what you invested in your annuity (less any withdrawals you took out) or the contract value at the time of your death, if that value is higher. (Note: If you are age 80 or older at time of purchase, the guaranteed death benefit will be the contract value.)
Guarantees are based on the continued strength and claims-paying ability of RiverSource Life Insurance Company and are subject to its claims paying ability. These guarantees do not apply to the performance of the variable subaccounts, which will vary with market conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
In order to take a distribution from your 403(b) plan, you must have met a qualifying event:
- Age 59½
- Separation from employment
- Disability

Our comprehensive approach
Retirement can be a welcome turning point in your life — a time to enjoy hobbies, travel or even launch a second career. To enjoy the retirement you envision, it's important to start saving early and plan ahead. And with increasing life expectancies, you may need to plan for a retirement that could last 20-30 years or more.
One way to save for your retirement goals is through your tax-sheltered annuity 403(b) plan. Working with an Ameriprise financial advisor allows you to create a 403(b) account that is invested based on your individual situation. Our advisors can assist in showing you how the 403(b) program complements your Wisconsin Retirement System pension plan bringing much needed flexibility to your retirement.

Waste Audits
Every year a campus-wide waste audit is conducted at Western. Each month select buildings have their garbage examined and the results and recommendations are shared with the campus community. The goal of waste audits is to determine waste composition, the success of current waste diversion (i.e. source separation) programs, and to identify possible program improvements in reducing, re-using, and recycling waste.
A waste audit conducted in 2012 revealed that Western University generated 2,942 tonnes of waste. Of that, approximately 1,338 tonnes were recycled or composted for a diversion rate of 45%.
A waste audit conducted earlier this year examined waste destined for landfill of 13 campus buildings. Their diversion rates are provided as well
Support Services Building (51%)
Natural Science (31%)
South Valley (53%)
North Campus (23%)
Weldon Library (29%)
Old Ivey (21%)
Althouse (5%)
Perth Hall (48%)
Alumni House (38%)
Talbot College (29%)
Recreation Centre (30%)
Medical Science (30%)
Biological & Geological Science (27%)
The second step is re-using as many items as possible. It is recommended that staff and students investigate community organizations that can reuse items such as furniture or building materials, or donating items to non-profits like Goodwill.
Lastly, Western must improve recycling practices. The waste audit indicated that the most prevalent items in our waste stream include organics, paper and plastic followed by cardboard, metal and glass; all of which can be recycled or composted. Approximately 18% of waste found in landfill streams could have been recovered through proper recycling. Common recyclable items found in the waste included beverage containers, paper, and cardboard. Similarly, just over 30% of the waste stream consisted of organics- food scraps and compostables. You find more information on Western's recycling and composting programs on our website (Initiatives- Waste Reduction).If you have any suggestions or would like to learn more about our waste reduction strategies at Western, please feel free to email us at email@example.com and follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

By Hope S. Philbrick
If time permits just one meal in Kansas City, make it the city's best barbecue.
Ask anyone—the tourism pro at the Kansas City Convention & Visitors Association, the concierge at the hotel, random locals at Cellar Rat (a super cool wine shop)—and the general consensus seems to be that Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue has the best BBQ in town.
Not only that, it's the highest rated barbecue in the country according to Zagat.
Which is really saying a lot, since Kansas City-style barbecue's reputation is mythic, reaching even into the Deep South, where barbecue is as pervasive as religion with as many avid followers, strong opinions and variations (like North Carolina's vinegar-based-, South Carolina's mustard-based-, Georgia's tomato-based-, and so on).
As the restaurant explains on its website, Russ Fiorella first opened his Smokestack BBQ restaurant in 1957. Russ and his oldest son Jack worked together until 1974, when Jack decided to branch off and start Fiorella's Jack Stack. To stand out in the competitive Kansas City barbecue scene of the mid 1970s, Jack and his wife, Delores, began cooking with hickory wood and created the most extensive barbecue menu in the country. Jack's son, Kevin, and son-in-law, Case Dorman, have grown up in the business and are now managing general partners in the company. Today, Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue is the largest full-service wood cookery in the industry with four restaurant locations, a catering company, plus a nationwide shipping division.
On a recent road trip through KC, I walked from my hotel to the Freight House location in downtown Kansas City's Crossroads Art District. Trying to beat the dinner rush, I arrived around 5:30 p.m. The hostess informed me that I'd have to wait approximately 20 minutes for a table, then handed me one of those light-up discs some restaurants use as a "your-table-is-ready" alert system. I got lucky and after about five minutes my disc lit up and I was escorted to a booth in the main dining room, which boasts 25-foot ceilings and a fireplace. The vibe is more upscale than the average American BBQ joint.
The server explained that Jack Stack is known for its award-winning Denver-cut lamb ribs, fork-tender brisket, Hickory Pit beans and cheesy corn bake side dishes, and Crown Prime Beef Rib, which is a beef short rub that's smoked until fork tender. Meat options include certified Angus beef, lamb, seafood, chicken, pork and ham.
For the 'best of the best' experience, I ordered the Jack's Best combination platter which features one Crown Prime Beef Rib, baby back ribs, and beef burnt ends ($27.95). Alongside I got both the Hickory Pit beans and cheesy corn bake. Extra barbecue sauce and bread arrived, too.
Meats were cooked to fork-tender perfection. The barbecue sauce was spicy-yet-sweet—and, aside from craving its flavor, there was little need for the extra sauce on the side since the meat was so juicy. I especially adored the Crown Prime Beef Rib, rich and flavorful with a tender toothsome bite. The restaurant manager told me that it's a cut unique to Jack Stack's: Based on my taste-test, I'd expect other BBQ restaurants will be scrambling to imitate it.
Portions are so generous that two adults could easily be content with one entrée.
Dining alone and on a budget? Order the Crown Prime Beef Rib off the appetizer menu—it's priced at $12.95. Add a side for $3.75 and you've got a smaller-scale meal that costs less but still satisfies.
Where I live in Georgia, barbecue restaurants are ubiquitous. And while of course some are better than others, there are lots of great options nearby. Yet I do find myself craving another helping of Jack Stack's, nearly 850 miles away. Is it Kansas City's best? Since my visit was too brief for comparison, I'll have to trust what I was told. I will say that it's one of the best barbecue meals that I've ever had, and I've had too many to count.
More Information…
Among its numerous awards and accolades, Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue is consistently rated in Zagat Survey's America's Best Barbecue, America's Best Restaurants, and World's Top Restaurants.
Four locations, including:
Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue – Freight House
101 W 22nd St
Kansas City, MO

The sex tape allegedly featuring the rapper Tupac Shakur has been sold to a private collector, according to reports.
TMZ claims that the former owner of the tape, which was reportedly made in 1991 and features an unnamed woman performing oral sex on the rapper during a party, decided not to sell to any pornographic companies after describing them as "parasites".
It is currently unknown how much the tape was sold for, but it was previously reported that two rival pornographic companies were ready to pay over $150,000 (£98,000) for the film.
Tupac's family have made it clear they do not want the X-rated flick to be distributed and have insisted that they "will sue anyone who tries to sell a Tupac tape".
According to an official spokesman for Tupac's estate, only his family can authorise the use of Tupac's image for commercial use and they are not prepared to allow his image to be used for this.
The rapper's mother Afeni Shakur has also reportedly told her representatives: "Get the legal team ready because we will not allow someone to put it out."
In October, drinks company NOHO were ready to pay over over $1 million (£642,000) for the rights to the unreleased track which is playing in the background of the tape. They wanted to use the song as the theme tune for a new commercial advertising a drink that promises to ensure that people don't have hangovers after a night out

And you thought you weren't one for tradition.
So did we, until we designed (and met) the Charlbury armchair. It's so elegantly classic – an English roll arm chair with pleating on the arms, hook cushions, brass leg caps... and charm. In absolute abundance.
Deep and shapely sink-into cushions on a base that's crisp and slender – the best blend of comfort and refinement.
The Charlbury range is handcrafted in Europe
Designs are made with natural materials and are handcrafted one at a time. There may be natural variations in colour and texture that are not product flaws, they make your design truly one-of-a-kind.
An original piece for the contemporary home, progressive and beautifully designed. In the Swoon Studio, we create with urban landscapes as our point of inspiration. Cracks running through concrete on city streets, the architecture of an old railway station, the birds-eye view of paths in a green space. We see the extraordinary within the ordinary. We use it to fuel a new wave of design.

Two Guthrie sleep labs have recently been recognized for their high level of care. The Guthrie Sleep Disorder Centers at Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital and Guthrie Corning Hospital received national program accreditation from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).
Marie Droege, Executive Vice President, Hospital and Post-Acute Care Division said: "We are pleased to receive this accreditation from the AASM. Poor sleep can be caused by a range of factors, and it can have a debilitating impact on an individual's health. Our sleep centers can help us to accurately diagnose a wide range of sleep problems, such as sleep apnea, parasomnia, and nocturnal seizures, helping us to find solutions that will help our patients get the rest they need. We are very proud of the hard work our teams in the sleep centers have done to receive this accreditation."
"The American Academy of Sleep Medicine congratulates both Guthrie Sleep Disorders Centers on meeting the high standards required for receiving accreditation as a sleep disorders center," said Dr. Nathaniel Watson, AASM president. "The Guthrie Sleep Disorders Centers are an important resource to the local medical community and will provide academic and scientific value in addition to the highest quality care for patients suffering from sleep disorders."
To receive accreditation for a five-year period, a sleep center must meet or exceed all standards for professional health care as designated by the AASM. These standards address core areas such as personnel, facility and equipment, policies and procedures, data acquisition, patient care, and quality assurance. Additionally, the sleep center's goals must be clearly stated and include plans for positively affecting the quality of medical care in the community it serves.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine accredited a sleep disorders center for the first time in 1977. Today there are more than 2,500 AASM-accredited sleep centers across the country.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine is a professional medical society for clinicians, researchers, and other health care providers in the field of sleep medicine. As the national accrediting body for sleep disorders centers, the AASM is dedicated to setting standards and promoting excellence in sleep medicine health care, education and research.
Guthrie is a non-profit integrated health system located in north central Pennsylvania and Upstate New York, serving patients from an 11-county service area. Guthrie is comprised of a research institute, home care/hospice, hospitals in Sayre, Pa., Corning, N.Y., Towanda, Pa., and Troy, Pa., as well as a multi-specialty group practice of more than 290 physicians and 175 mid-level providers in a regional office network encompassing sub-specialty and primary care sites in 23 communities throughout Pennsylvania and New York.

Net Neutrality's Misrepresentation of Free Speech -- Part 6 Defending First Principles Series
Submitted by Scott Cleland on Tue, 2013-01-22 10:19
In defense of the FCC's Open Internet Order, which unilaterally mandates net neutrality, four former FCC Commissioners and Professor Susan Crawford argue to an Appeals Court that Verizon and broadband providers should enjoy no broadband freedom of speech under the Constitution.
Why are many of the biggest political supporters of net neutrality focusing their legal defense of net neutrality on the constitutional freedom of speech argument and not the main event of the case, the Comcast vs. FCC precedent, i.e. does the FCC have direct statutory authority to regulate the broadband Internet?
The reason probably has a lot more to do with politics than the Constitution. That's because the net neutrality movement has long analogized and politically marketed net neutrality to be like an individual's freedom of speech under the U.S. Constitution -- in a desperate attempt to make an arcane regulatory pricing issue relevant to the public and to mask that it is a solution of preemptively restricting freedom without evidence of a real freedom problem.
The net neutrality movement has long misrepresented the American Constitutional notion of freedom of speech in the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights in two major ways.
First, they fantastically branded net neutrality as the "first amendment of the Internet" ensuring freedom of speech, when the Internet has never had a constitution let alone any amendments.
Never mind that the term net neutrality was made up out of whole cloth by free culture activists three decades after the Internet was invented and several years after it was commercialized. Never mind that neither "net neutrality nor "openness" can be found anywhere in the U.S. Constitution or U.S. law.
A big reason why Verizon challenged the FCC's Open Internet Order is that after Congress considered and rejected mandating net neutrality, the FCC in a highly-controversial 3-2 decision unilaterally deemed "openness" to be the FCC's new purpose and "net neutrality" to be its new regulatory organizing principle. Three FCC commissioners went ahead and ruled despite having no direct statutory authority to do so and despite Congressional Internet policy in Section 230 opposing them: "it is the policy the United States to preserve the competitive free market… Internet… unfettered by Federal or State regulation."
Second, these four former FCC commissioners and Professor Crawford are misrepresenting Americans' Constitutionally-protected freedom of speech. They claim Verizon and broadband providers can have no freedom from the Government limiting their speech when the First Amendment protects all citizens and groups from the Government abridging free speech.
Interestingly, the courts have previously ruled that Verizon indeed can enjoy constitutionally protected free speech in Bell Atlantic vs. U.S. which found it was an unconstitutional abridgement of Bell Atlantic's (now Verizon) free speech to be banned from having a cable "voice" when Bell Atlantic was banned in 1984 from buying a cable company.
What is most troubling about the constitutional position of these four FCC commissioners and Professor Crawford is that they effectively want the FCC to be exempt from the Constitution and to be able to be the arbiter of who has freedom of speech to communicate in certain ways and who does not. This sweeping assertion of power effectively would transmogrify Americans freedom from government limits on their free speech, to a grotesque notion that an unelected FCC could decide who is eligible to enjoy free speech and who is not.
The irony here is that those who claim to be against Internet censorship call for unnecessary preemptive censorship of broadband providers in the name of no Internet censorship.
Sadly this lays bare that "free culture" net neutrality proponents are not principled free speech adherents because they proactively seek to silence those who disagree with them.

Steinbrenner sounds off on revenue sharing; criticizes Jeter
TAMPA, Fla. – Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner shares Red Sox owner John Henry's view that something needs to be done about revenue sharing in baseball.
Steinbrenner revealed the team contributed about $130 million between revenue sharing and luxury tax, the most of any team in the league and the most, according to Steinbrenner that the team has ever had to contribute. A few days ago, Sox CEO Larry Lucchino indicated the team contributed $86 million. This is obviously a sore subject for the Yankees and Red Sox.
"We've got to do a little something about that and I know Bud (Selig) wants to," Steinbrenner said. "There's a way. Obviously we're very much allied with the Red Sox, and Mets and Dodgers and Cubs, in that area. At some point if you don't want to worry about teams in minor markets, don't put teams in minor markets or don't leave teams in minor markets. Socialism, communism is never the answer."
When asked about Boston's spiraling payroll and spending spree this offseason, Steinbrenner said, "John (Henry) is committed to winning as we are. He'll do what he has to do."
He added, "The Red Sox are always gonna be there with the Yankees along with five or six other teams who can win the World Series. This year it's the Phillies. The AL East is an SOB."
Concerning his own team, Steinbrenner said that he sees a hunger returning to the team, the same hunger he saw in 2009.
"In 09 I saw it," he said. "… Sometimes they celebrated a little too much last year. Some of the players too busy building mansions and concentrating on other things and not concentrating on winning. I have no problems saying that. They've come into this spring with a new hunger and that's what it takes to win."
The one player who built a "mansion" was Derek Jeter.
"I'm not singling anybody out," Steinbrenner said. "This year, from what I've seen by our coaches they've come in with a real new drive and determination, the kind they had in '09. I think they felt embarrassed last year. It bothers them."
Concerning the team's inability to acquire a starting pitcher, Steinbrenner said, "We did. We got Soriano. Everybody's missing the point. We didn't get Lee, but we got the second-best relief pitcher in the American League and now he's the set-up guy."

Start-up Developing Advanced Nanomechanical Resonator Technology Names New CEO
|(Nanowerk News) Sand 9, Inc., a start-up company developing advanced nano-mechanical resonator technology for the wireless device market, today announced the appointment of Sand 9 board member and former VBrick CEO Vince Graziani as Chief Executive Officer.

Brendan Gleeson has finished filming his directorial debut Psychic, a dark short that also stars sons Domhnall and Brian and which has been written by their brother, Rockadoon Shore author Rory, with music from the fourth Gleeson sibling, Fergus.
The "human tale of showmanship, the other world and family" follows a charismatic psychic (Brendan Gleeson) who is forced out of retirement and taken on tour by his two conniving sons (Domhnall and Brian Gleeson).
However, a TV presenter (Ingrid Craigie) is determined to ensure that any hopes for a cult following are shortlived.
Co-funded by Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board and Sky Arts, Psychic will premiere on Sky Arts next year with its director and star promising that it will be "magic".
"I am thrilled to be sharing this adventure with such a special cast and crew," added Gleeson, who will be seen on Irish cinema screens from next week in Paddington 2.
Brendan, Domhnall and Brian Gleeson previously starred together in Enda Walsh's The Walworth Farce in Dublin's Olympia Theatre in 2015.

According to Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms, modern analytics and business intelligence platforms represent mainstream buying, with deployments increasingly cloud-based. Data and analytics leaders are upgrading traditional solutions as well as expanding portfolios with new vendors as the market innovates on ease of use and augmented analytics.
By 2020, augmented analytics — a paradigm that includes natural language query and narration, augmented data preparation, automated advanced analytics and visual-based data discovery capabilities — will be a dominant driver of new purchases of business intelligence, analytics and data science and machine learning platforms and of embedded analytics.
By 2020, the number of users of modern business intelligence and analytics platforms that are differentiated by augmented data discovery capabilities will grow at twice the rate — and deliver twice the business value — of those that are not. By 2020, natural-language generation and artificial intelligence will be a standard feature of 90% of modern business intelligence platforms. By 2020, 50% of analytical queries will be generated via search, natural-language processing or voice, or will be automatically generated. By 2020, organizations that offer users access to a curated catalog of internal and external data will derive twice as much business value from analytics investments as those that do not.
Visual-based data discovery is a defining feature of the modern analytics and business intelligence (BI) platform. This wave of disruption began in around 2004, and has since transformed the market and new buying trends away from IT-centric system of record (SOR) reporting to business-centric agile analytics with self-service. Modern analytics and BI platforms are characterized by easy-to-use tools that support a full range of analytic workflow capabilities. They do not require significant involvement from IT to predefine data models upfront as a prerequisite to analysis, and in some cases, will automatically generate a reusable data model.
A self-contained in-memory columnar engine facilitates exploration, but also rapid prototyping. Modern analytics and BI platforms may optionally source from traditional IT-modeled data structures to promote governance and re-usability across the entire organization. Many organizations may start their modernization efforts by extending IT-modeled structures in an agile manner and combining them with new and multi-structured data sources. Other organizations, meanwhile, may use the analytic engine within the modern analytics and BI platform as an alternative to a traditional data warehouse. This approach is usually only appropriate for small or midsize organizations with relatively clean data from a limited number of source systems. The rise in the use of data lakes and the logical data warehouse also dovetail with the capabilities of a modern analytics and BI platform that can ingest these less-modeled data sources (see "Derive Value From Data Lakes Using Analytics Design Patterns").

An ASH show in BRISTOL was interrupted mid-set last night (April 27) after the ANSON ROOMS venue was struck by a total power cut.
The band were 20 minutes into their set when all electricity to the stage and concert hall shut down, plunging the venue at the city's university into complete darkness and silence.
The band left the stage, but vocalist Tim Wheeler returned five minutes later with a torch – which he shone into his face to try to communicate with the restless audience.
He could be seen to shrug his shoulders, before turning the torchbeam onto his hand and projecting a huge V-sign shadow onto the ceiling!
Power was restored some 15 minutes later, but Ash scrapped the song they had been playing – 'Submission', from the new album 'Free All Angels' – in favour of the more appropriate former single 'Shining Light'.
Speaking after power was restored Wheeler joked: "Electricity – it's just not the same any more, is it?"
The current tour is Ash's first full UK jaunt since their trip around some smaller venues last year – though the early half of this year has seen numerous instore performances, fanclub freebies and afternoon acoustic slots around the country.
The cause of last night's power outage is not known, and nobody was available for comment at the venue today.
