* Laysan Bio is pleased to introduce a new product line, the Butyraldehyde-PEG-Valeric Acid (bALD-PEG-VA). This reagent is a new catalog item in the 3400 molecular weight but may be made in the 2,000, 5,000, 10K, and 20K molecular weights as custom items. The bALD-PEG-VA line offers the ability to react the Butyraldehyde functional group with a primary amine of one molecule and then perform a direct condensation between the valeric acid functional group and a primary amine of a second molecule. This two-step process allows the intermediate conjugate to be purified before the second reaction step resulting in a more pure final product.

- "weighing in weekly with trainer"

I asked two friends who join me in an Unblocked.Life™ Check-In (we just had our 69th monthly teleconference in a row!) to share my main attributes. In their own words:
- Supportive—you encircle those you care about with support. You give freely of yourself and truly enjoy seeing others blossom and succeed. You use your vast network to help others.
- Trustworthy—when you say you are going to do something you do it. People can totally depend on you. You are protective of those you are working with and loyal. I know that anything I tell you will be kept confidential.
- Persistent—you stick with a project until it is completed. You stick with a person and work with them to help them achieve their best. You don't give up and you don't let up if you feel there is more a person can do to achieve their goals, but you do it in a supportive way.
- High-energy
- Encouraging and empowering drill-sergeant—in a good way; unrelenting faith in your ability to achieve more.
- Idealistic—wants to help you achieve the best possible thing you can do and has high expectations for you.
- Fun
Those are nice adjectives. And, I appreciate them. Deeply.
And, this is what they shared about our monthly calls:
- "Our monthly phone calls have been a source of pleasure, encouragement, and inspiration. They've been a non-threatening space to share doubts and setbacks. They've been a series of mini goalposts. They've been something to help me feel legitimate and productive even when encountering setbacks that seemed permanent. They've also helped me refine my own ideas, goals, and purpose. They've been a source of inspiration, both by receiving direct encouragement from [you two] and by sharing your developing projects and watching you both manage ups and downs."
- "Our calls have helped to keep me on track. At times when I wasn't able to pursue my goals you were still there for me. You didn't judge me, you encouraged me. You always had ideas or contacts that could be helpful to me. When I achieved something I was pursuing you were enthusiastic about my success. You [two] encouraged me to try new avenues when I was stuck. You also shared your successes and failures so I never felt alone. Our calls were a safe place to be open and honest about how each of us was progressing or not progressing There was never any judgment, just support and constructive help."

Jewelz pt 3 – Napoleon Da Legend 2011
We live and learn, liquor makes the liver burn / anxiety seeps through the epiderm/ will Obama get a second term? / only death is certain/ will the human race ever learn/ I make cheddar burn/ get my point across in just 11 words/ times are harder than they ever were/ pain in my soul is hereditary/ we forever search/ for the meaning of life in every turn/ do we die and then return or go to heaven and splurge?/ or freefall in the abyss of hell and then burn?/ do we earn a pass to get us in first?/ like night club promoters while god studies my motives/ soul cleansing flushing my motor/ hustle is in my culture/ success/ death sucks us in closer/ now my heart is torn/ pushing harder through the storm/ junk food in my belly now my arteries are worn/ hard to see the wrong/ part of me's torn/ the good side of me's there but it's hard to reach to him/ bad economy/ no stopping my movement while the poverty's booming/ grinding till I'm in the driver seat cruising/ no more privacy for humans they YouTubing us/ locked in this rubix cube of consumerism/ worshipping the superficial/ no matter how long you run the truth will always hit you/ Jewelz
Through my life I've seen all types of things/ the good the bad the ugly/ what life can bring/ through the heartaches and pain we find the strength within/ we dig deep for what it takes to win (what it takes to win)
Mind over matter/ we never mind the chatter/ my rhyme chatter I grind until I climb the ladder/ at night I shine like Las Vegas Nevada/ on or off stage I'm manifesting the latter/ see the symbolism as simple as I envision/ choose words that I assemble like Hieroglyphics/ it's all physics/ written in the star systems/ the positive comes to the one that's optimistic/ my belief system kills obsolete wisdom/ forces inside of me keep driving me on my mission/ to free the captive I spit for kings and Cleopatras/ dodging enemies in the Matrix with Neo backflips/ homeopathic Pisces/ Zodiac is sick/ crowd yelling homie threw me off with his accent/ Atlas throwing the earth off the axis/ small minded rappers jerking off on the mattress/ talking about his chains and rims spinning/ when he goes out to clubs he gets brains from 10 women/ now his fans don't believe him anymore/ even worse his own man don't believe him anymore/ now the reason in your core's telling you to change/ the words from your songs putting you to shame/ and now you out the game/ no one will truly miss you/ no matter how much you run the truth will always hit you

So I've decided to try my hand at adult colouring, which means that I'm an adult and instead of doing my daily chores, I'm sitting down with a colouring book, pencil crayons (called "colouring pencils" when used by a grown up), a cup of tea, and colouring to my heart's content. I am strictly a feast or famine sort of person and have never learned how to do the whole "grazing" thing, so last week we went to an art supply shop in Victoria to pick up a case of 150 absolutely gorgeous colouring pencils, a sharpener, and a few colouring books.
Who can forget, as a kid, the joy of opening up that big box of Crayola crayons. Everyone had the 8 or 16 piece, but what luxury to have the 48 or better yet, the 64 pack which I remember had a sharpener built into the side of the box. If I close my eyes right now I can still smell the wax and see the rows and rows of beautiful colours with great names like "maize, teal blue, and periwinkle". The sharpened points were so pristine; it was almost a shame to use them at first – almost. There wasn't even a mark on the inside of the box! Those first few moments of sensory bliss were pushed aside as we scrambled to open up our colouring books and begin the work of "colouring".
Well now I'm a grown up and to be honest, I wasn't exactly sure how to start. So, I did what a lot of people do these days when they want to learn (or relearn in my case) how to do something. I went to YouTube to see if there were any videos that might give me a little insight. Apparently I'm not alone in my quest to learn the basics of "Adult Colouring". There are exactly eleventy billion videos available showing everything from advanced shading and portraiture techniques to a 35 second video on how the hell to open the pencil sharpener. I'm not making that one up. I actually had to use that one because, you know, I couldn't figure out how to open my new pencil sharpener. Which lead me to wonder if perhaps I'd bitten off a little more than I could chew. But once I mastered that skill, it was time to actually try to put some colour on the paper. I choose a picture from one of my new books, sat down with my cup of tea (aggressively ignoring my housework), and applied beautiful shades of blue and red and yellow to my page. It felt a bit awkward at first, but very quickly I could feel my heartrate and breathing slow down. I felt my attention become more focussed, and I felt plain old happiness at again doing something that I enjoyed so much in the past.
Those beautiful colouring pencils Kirk bought for me are amazing. Tray after tray of every shade and hue I could ever imagine and they glide on with buttery smoothness. Ironically, the pencil I use the most is a colourless pencil, used for blending and burnishing the colours. How's that for a funny twist – the colouring pencil I will have to replace most often isn't "Tuscan Red", or "Peacock Green". It's one with no colour and no name.
The photo above shows you the results of one of my first finished pieces. I think it turned out pretty good – I know I certainly enjoyed doing it. Who knows where this new adventure will take me. All I know for sure that I'm going to need a bigger fridge!

How to donate to the Amherst Drug Court And Therapeutic Foundation.
Who donates:
We have received donations from all segments of the population. Some examples of the people that have chosen to become supporters are noted below.
Many past graduates have chosen to support the foundation once their lives are back on track, many have excellent professions and feel that the Drug Court was a major reason they are now successful and wish to help to ensure that others have the same opportunity they received. Family members and friends of graduates also have made donations to support the Foundation in thanks for the assistance their loved one experienced.
Members of the law enforcement and legal profession chose to support the treatment courts because they have seen that they work and save substantial tax dollars compared to the revolving door of the traditional criminal justice system. They have also witnessed the remarkable success of our graduates that many would have given up on and sent to jail time and time again.
Community business leaders have been major contributors as they are very aware of the reduction in crime in Amherst due to the tremendous partnership of the Amherst Police and the Amherst Town Court and the Therapeutic Courts specifically.
Our local government leaders that have seen how effective our Therapeutic Courts are in rebuilding our citizens from being a burden to the communities to becoming productive tax paying productive members of our local area.
Many of our current military and veterans donate in order to aid their comrades that have gone through some difficult times readjusting to civilian life and need the added support that our Veteran's Treatment Court gives to them.
Our Amherst Drug and Therapeutic Court Foundation is a registered 501(C)3 tax deductible charity.

Vanessa Hudgens goes back to shorter hair
HollywoodNews.com: Vanessa Hudgens cut her hair very short while filming a movie, and while she didn't like that style, it seems she isn't opposed to all short hair.
Hudgens recently stepped out with her hair in a shorter bob that departed from the longer hairstyle she has been sporting lately, states UsMagazine.com.
Hudgens previously commented on her very short hair as she described it as a "soccer mom" look.
How do you like her hair?

Very nice poem. Not what I expected at all.
What do you think of my blog?
Hi all! Hope your week has gone well.
I posted this last week and I've had some positive feedback so far – it isa lists of hints and tips that I've created about my successes and mistakes within my first year of blogging. New bloggers may find it useful! I'd love to know what you think!
Hey guys. Just like to say that I've only been blogging since Christmas day but Suzie has been loads of help. Even advertising my blog on her page.
I'm very grateful! 😀
I think that this post is a great way to celebrate the new year and is very helpful to new bloggers (as you said).
Thanks for commenting here, I'm glad I was able to find your blog! As a new blogger, that post was super helpful.
Thank you very much! Really pleased it was helpful for you!
Hi there. Let me know what you think of http://technoteamblog.wordpress.com and let me know if you think it could be improved or if you have some suggestions for it.
Any general feedback would be welcome.
Please review our blog and let us know what your feedback is- positive and negative! Any areas for improvement, areas to change?
I just started a nutrition/fitness blog on New Years Day. Any constructive criticism or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks :)http://eatlesssugaryouresweetenough.wordpress.com/
And for those of you who are running out of ideas, here is a list of things that may help you with the dreaded 'Bloggers Block'
I'd love your feedback!
Hey guys, I'm still new and I've been writing about my personal story about being diagnosed with depression and what it's like. I was just wondering whether me being so personal is good, on one hand I think it may make it endearing and create an intimacy to the relationship between me and the reader, but it may also alienate people who cant relate. If you have any time please can you check and see what you think
I have shared my own struggles with depression and have received only positive and supportive feedback. My blog isn't based only on that subject but I have definitely made connections because of it. I say do what feels right. Don't worry about alienating people. If you focus on connecting with like minded people that is the result you will get.
I think it's really important to share what you can. You are offering support to those who are in similar situations. Also, people will be more likely to follow your blog if you content is authentic.
It's been my experience the more vulnerable you are, the better the writing. When your writing comes from a vulnerable, open and authentic place, even the readers who've never experienced depression will be touched by your story. That's what's cool about blogs – the ability to reach many people, illustrating your experience through words and connecting those who otherwise would not know.
Any kind of feedback would be appreciated!:) http://agirlcalledjohn.wordpress.com/
if you are into photography have a look at my photography portfolio…any feedback will be highly appreciated 😉
I've just passed the 10000 views mark this weekend since starting this blog in mid September. I never thought I would stick with it this long and achieve this so I'd just like to thank everyone who has stopped by and for all the new bloggers – keep with it! THANK YOU
And thank you for all the support that you've shown my blog recently too!!
I meant to you Steve – you've been really supportive!!
You are very welcome!
Congratulations. Good luck with the blog!
New to this whole blogging thing – please check out http://buildingblocksandacorns.wordpress.com/ and let me know what you think. Thanks 🙂 x
My biggest problem is I really want to design a graphic for my header but I have no talent with this – can anybody suggest a good graphics design program that's free – does that even exist? I am finding the biggest problem design wise is that I can manipulate the theme great – but I want to add personal touches and I am not that creative – suggestions for a good graphics tool would be awesome – or if someone can associate me with a page that talks about it, would be great. I am new here and have only been blogging one week so I'm still learning the where's and how to's and where not to post things lol.
There are a lot of free images on the web, for example Wikimedia Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
I took one of these, cropped it, and wrote on it with Microsoft Paint which came with Windows 7. This is not what you asked for- but it does allow an idiosyncratic and personal header.
Believe it or not, PowerPoint isn't bad. All you have to do is save your 1-page document as a JPEG and be prepared to crop it once you upload it here.
I need to get some posts for my What If writing challenge. Been slow with challenge responses the last few weeks and if I don't see a few more takers I might have to drop the challenges. This current one runs to the end of January so please help out if you can or if you are just looking for a post idea. Thanks
I think that this idea is great. There's nothing better than getting your readers involved in your blog. My advice is for you to keep the series going, even if it's unsuccessful (the chances of this idea being unsuccessful are low). I hope this helps!
Thanks for your input. I've been doing the challenge for a few months now and been pretty successful with it so far, just these last few weeks have been a little slow. I want to continue as I enjoy it myself just hoping to get a few more responses.
I wish you and your blog the best of luck.
Thank you.
I keep meaning to take part in your challenges but haven't managed….yet. Please don't give up. I only get a few people in my music challenge but I still love doing it. If you take part in min, I'll take part in yours ooooeeeer lol
Fair enough. I have seen your challenge and just not took the time yet. It is something I will look into. Thanks
New to blogging and writing for a public audience, looking for better ways to organise writing to make it more accessible, don't really write in categories but need some way of encouraging readers to explore? Also feedback on writing always very welcome 😉 http://writingsofmatt.wordpress.com/
At the minute you have a single page – perhaps you could create a menu at the top of your blog in which you could put your posts into different categories which would allow readers to focus on topics that they are specifically interested in?
Yes, thinking about that kind of thing, I'm assuming it isn't difficult? Maybe creating additional pages? Would that work?
Yes – you can do it by going into your 'My Blog' section and it's easy – there's always the wordpress forums that you can check out too…
Wonderful 😀 Thank you for the suggestion 😀 much appreciated, I'll have a look, although I'm pretty useless at tech stuff lol! 😉
I am too – the wordpress format is quite easy to get to grips with after a while though… Enjoy! 🙂
Thanks, I'm finding that 😀 Even I can manage to get to grips with at least the basics 😀
Hi Mattsworld2013~ I'm new to blogging, too and have easily set up categories and pages for my posts. Here's a link to my blog to see the different categories in my sidebar and my menu on my home page: http://abundantlifeinitiative.com/.
I need input on my blog. It's for book review, author interviews and guest posts. If you are a reader, what is it missing? Is it eye appealing? Is there too little/too much information on each post? Should I categorize better? Should I upgrade my software? I'm trying to grow my reader base, but it doesn't grow as quickly as I'd like? http://eileendandashi.wordpress.com I would be most appreciative if you stop by and look at it, particularly if you are a reader and enjoy this type of blog.
HI Eileen, the only thing I didnt like when I checked out your reviews was the lack of a "final score" is that an intentional omission? I like to see stars, or grades or something, just because it wraps up the whole thought, and gives a final impression. Good luck- I've subscribed!
Thank Sarah. I've actually been thinking about scores. But scores are very subjective as you must know. If I read a fantasy and it just doesn't hit the spot, but someone else absolutely loves it, how could I score it? I've thought seriously about scoring sensuality. Some books can be very erotic and some readers would like to avoid that sort of thing. I've resolved for 2014 to do something about scoring, so I appreciate the comment. Now I've just got to think how to do it. I may have to upgrade wordpress, or at the bottom of the post, place the scores. Thank you Sarah Mae for taking the time to stop by. Most appreciated!
I think you're doing such a great job at giving full reviews in your commentary that anyone who reads it should catch something they would dislike (sensuality, violence, etc.) or like (genre, theme, character type, etc.). A rating system (even if its a metric) will just wrap up the whole thing with your personal stamp. Remember people read your blog to hear your voice on the subject, so don't be shy about sharing it authentically! I have utterly disagreed with some of my favorite reviewers on my favorite books, but as long as the review insightful the added insight allows the reader to make a more in-depth analysis on our own. The variety of opinions gives the community an opportunity to have complex conversations and engage with one another. Good luck perfecting your system- I'm working on that right now too!
Hello, I've just recently switched from self-hosted to wordpress. Mostly, I felt as though I was on the outskirts of the blogging community. I would love any feedback – comments left on my actual blog – regarding the aesthetics (originality, and whether or not the blog reflects a "personality")
I appreciate any feedback.
My page Gay Christians explains those texts in the Bible which have been used to attack LGBT folk, and shows how the correct interpretation does not condemn ordinary gay people. I have recently rewritten and reorganised it. I would love to hear from you how readable you find it, and how well organised.
I now have a large tag cloud of 200 tags. I hoped that as people read, their eyes would pass over the tag cloud and they might notice a tag they found interesting. What do you think? Do you ever click on tags? Does my tag cloud make you want to read more of my blog, even if you do not click them?
Hi Clare, you might want to think about utilizing Categories too. I think big tag clouds sometimes become cumbersome, especially if you don't know the verbiage being used. By being able to dig into an general idea with the Category, then clicking on interesting looking tags (I usually click on them at the bottom of a post, not from the cloud), it works more like a filing system than a fishing pond. I do love the concept of your blog though, its nice to have somewhere to point friend and family to when they are confused about the biblical prospect of sexuality.
Many thanks. From my stats page, you were the only one to visit from the Community Pool. Too many of us are here only to ask.
Mmm. The thing is, my blog is everything that takes my interest, and a lot of it is for me, for me to articulate and so get to know what I think, and my category headings are for me, too. Bringing people in through them will take some thought.
Thank you.
Hi there Readers
I've signed up for WordPress for a while but feel i still need some help and I've got a lot of posts up already but it seems as if they're not good enough. If anyone could give me some feedback that would be appreciated. Is the content engaging? I feel like blog is neither engaging readers nor drawing readers. Again, I'll take all the help I can get.
hi…i have recently created my travelogues to share my little travelogues….please give ur feedback and comments on blog and writing…..also follow the blog and share through ur social platforms if u like it…..
any general advice or feedback appreciated. Thanks, yall!
Love to know what people think of my bloggy blog!
Hi! I recently started blogging and joined the zerotohero challenge to improve my skills. Over the course of a few days I have made changes to my blog look and feel. Going through many other blogs, I saw many using a kind of three column look…some stuff/menus on first column, then the main post in second column then the widgets etc in the third. Can i do it for my blog too?…My theme is Visual.
Any feedback on this post in particular: http://laugraeva.wordpress.com/2014/01/09/play-dates-what-they-actually-are/
would be greatly appreciated!
I'll do yours if you do mine!
Hello everyone,
I would greatly appreciate any general feedback you have on my site. I am currently stuck on how to kick off my blogging for 2014 as well, so if you have any topic/prompt selections, I would also love to hear those.
Here is the link to my wordpress blog site: http://litastarr.wordpress.com
Thanks in advance. 🙂
any kind of constructive criticism appreciated 🙂
Great idea! I love this and especially sharing thoughts. 🙂
Hi all. I have been working diligently to build a following and have received some great feedback on my writing. However, I am receiving very little hits on a day to day basis. I am starting to get a little discouraged. This isn't all about getting noticed for me but I can't help but wonder why my stats are so low. I need advice on how to take it to the next level or make changes to what I'm already doing. Also, is it poor blogging etiquette to reblog earlier work that you feel has been over looked? Thanks … I know that was kind of a lot. ~Dawn
Ok, here's a question about http://www.thechowderhead.com: is this a website that has potential to achieve big web hit counts? Is the content funny or stupid? What do you think needs to be improved conceptually in order to become a big-traffic site?

David Hayter, the voice of Metal Gear's Solid Snake, and Jennifer Hale, the voice of Naomi Hunter and Mass Effect's female Commander Shepard, will be lending their voices to stealth-adventure game, Republique. Developer, Camouflaj, made the announcement this afternoon, with a brief mention of the characters the two will be playing.
"David will voice the role of the head revolutionary in the Orwellian world of République who authors much of the anti-Overseer propaganda that players come across in the game," says Camouflaj's Ryan Payton. "It's a character I wrote specifically with David in mind, as he's not only very politically active but also an accomplished writer."
Meanwhile, Jennifer Hale will be playing a mysterious villain called The Mentor. "I'm thrilled to work with Jennifer again, this time on a new character who will be a central antagonistic force for players," says Payton. "The Mentor is incredibly complex."
Both Hayter and Hale have worked with Payton in the past, who was assistant producer on Metal Gear Solid 4 while he was employed at Kojima Productions. Payton penned the story for Republique himself, set within a dystopian future.
Republique will be released in 2013 for iOS devices, and PC/MAC shortly after.

I Am…IRON GIRL
This post is going to be me tooting my own horn, so fair warning.
I mentioned in some previous posts that my mother got it into her head that we should sign up for a triathlon. Now, I haven't done sports since I was 14 (aside from the occasional softball or broomball game in college); and my mom has never been super athletic. Getting ready to do a triathlon in 4 months? That is insanity, and I told her so. But she was adamant, so I signed up with her.
After 16 weeks, thousands of yards swam, tens of miles biked and miles run, we did it. We competed in and finished the Sandy Hook, NJ sprint triathlon.
Getting ready to swim! That's me and my mom. She was a huge inspiration through all of this.
Woo bike ride!
Finish strong! Or at least finish with jazz hands.
family friend, myself, mom, and my goofy husband photobombing.
It was a crazy experience, but I am so glad we did it. Our goal this year was just to finish. The swim was insane- there were white caps on the waves by the time my group started the swim. That really weeded out a lot of people this year. The bike and run were much tougher than I anticipated, mostly because the swim took a lot more effort because of the conditions. But I finished in less than two hours! I am still on a race high almost a week later. In fact, we are now planning our races for next year!

1215 - 39 Ave SW
The Doris-Anne House
Welcome to our Century Home. The first owner of the land, after subdivision was Florence May Miles-Bailey of Hampshire, England.
The house was built between 1912 and 1913 for around $7000.00 It was designed in the Italianate architectural style (low pitched hipped roof, stucco siding and tower) with Craftsman influence (river rock facing and squared-off windows).
The first occupant was Major Cornelius T. de Kam who took title early 1914. He was an architectural engineer and Director of the Provincial Military School.
Percival Timms, feedstore owner, broker, and oil businessman lived here in the 1920s. He was also the President of the Calgary Horticulural Society.
The Edgar D. Lougheed family, including junior-high–aged former Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed resided here from 1939 to 1943.
Sam Diamond, builder of the historic President Apartments on 12 Ave SW and uncle of Martha Cohen, was resident in the late 1940s.
We are about mid-way through a major restoration/renovation of the house and landscape. For example, most of the windows have been replaced in the original style and trim work is pending. We thank all our neighbors for their patience while we work to preserve this historic Elbow Park home.

Ford to roll out small car in India in 2010.
Posted March 18, 2009on:
Ford India said troubles with its parent in US will not affect its planned $500 million investments for India, and added that the company's small car would hit the market by early 2010 with localisation as high as 85% to keep the price competitive.
Michael Boneham, MD and president of Ford India, told TOI that the company's expansion plans were going ahead "as scheduled". The US auto major that posted a record $14.7 billion net loss in 2008 globally had announced the half-a-billion dollar investment for India last year to double annual production capacity to 2 lakh units and make 2.5 lakh petrol and diesel engines.
"The last six months have been tough for the auto industry… and we maintain a cautious outlook for the rest of 2009," Boneham said, adding that he expected a turnaround only by 2010. "And this will be the time when we bring in our small car. Thus, we are confident it will get a good response," he added.
The company is making efforts to ensure that its new small car, that is being designed and engineered for the Indian market, is attractively priced considering it faces tough competition from players like Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai and Tata. "It will the first offering from Ford in the mass-market segment and we are making efforts to keep it cost-competitive while making it a great value proposition," he said.

By Sonia Odek, YWCA of Kenya.
Every morning before we set off for the day we always have a meeting in one of the spacious rooms which also happened to be the apartment I AM IN. It is usually an opportunity for us as YWCA delegates and our leader Hendrica Okondo to get together and forge a way forward on what we are to do for the day. In these meetings we first start by one of us sharing a bible verse and expand on it by reflecting on its relevance for today. Then someone with a song would also share and then we would pray together.
After prayer it is usually followed by each delegate sharing with the rest of the group what they had learnt and how it encouraged, inspired or even educated them, they would then tells us how that experience applied to their own countries and their own YWCA and how they would use that experience to make a difference. The morning devotion is also used to address issues that may have come up among the members as they went through their day. Is it the place where grievances and differences are solved. It is the place where highlights of the do's and don'ts are clearly highlighted. We get to ask questions on different matters including those we consider silly. Here we remind ourselves of both of the really funny moments we had and the out rightly blond moments we had.
I particularly like these sessions since they set the tone for the rest of the day for me. It is the place where I have to constantly remind myself each morning that am not on a Holiday trip but am here to work and make a difference. I realise that in the midst of the joy and laughter that we share, there is also a lot that we learn. The week begins and how I hope to learn from my fellow peers at the morning devotions.

Sometimes the Leader Does Fall
A Look Into the Experiences of Ice Climbers Who Have Fallen on Ice Screws
by Kel Rossiter / Adventure Spirit
Last winter a climber with Adventure Spirit Rock+Ice+Alpine was asking me about the holding power of ice screws. We discussed the various lab studies that have been done (a list of links to some interesting ones can be found at the bottom of this paper) then he said, "That's great, but has anyone ever specifically done research into how they actually perform in the field?" He had a point. While the dictum in ice climbing is that "the leader never falls," in the end, they sometimes do. So presumably there was an ample population from which to sample—but I was unaware of any actual field research done with this population. So, fueled by that question, I decided to explore the topic. The results of this inquiry appear below.

The Glittering Court
By Richelle Mead
#Pre-Order #Giveaway for THE GLITTERING COURT @RichelleMead #Gifts & entry to #GrandPrize https://t.co/caLcS1sCAh #GlitteringCtNGO
A dazzling, romantic fantasy series set in a mix of Elizabethan and frontier worlds from Richelle Mead, #1 internationally bestselling author of Vampire Academy.
"Brilliant and original, Mead's new series starts off with a bang and will leave readers on the edge of their seats until the very end."
—School Library Journal
Big and sweeping, spanning the refined palaces of Osfrid to the gold dust and untamed forests of Adoria, The Glittering Court tells the story of Adelaide, an Osfridian countess who poses as her servant to escape an arranged marriage and start a new life in Adoria, the New World. But to do that, she must join the Glittering Court.
Both a school and a business venture, the Glittering Court is designed to transform impoverished girls into upper-class ladies who appear destined for powerful and wealthy marriages in the New World. Adelaide naturally excels in her training and even makes a few friends: the fiery former laundress Tamsin and the beautiful Sirminican refugee Mira. She manages to keep her true identity hidden from all but one: the intriguing Cedric Thorn, son of the wealthy proprietor of the Glittering Court.
When Adelaide discovers that Cedric is hiding a dangerous secret of his own, together, they hatch a scheme to make the best of Adelaide's deception. Complications soon arise—first, as they cross the treacherous seas from Osfrid to Adoria, and later, when Adelaide catches the attention of a powerful governor.
But no complication will prove quite as daunting as the potent attraction simmering between Adelaide and Cedric. An attraction that, if acted on, would scandalize the Glittering Court and make them both outcasts in wild, vastly uncharted lands. . . .
"With a full cast of bold and original characters, Mead does a superb job of building a world that teens will be excited to enter into and disappointed to leave. The plot is intricately woven, and the ending promises future installments from other characters' points of view. Brilliant and original, Mead's new series starts off with a bang and will leave readers on the edge of their seats until the very end."
—School Library Journal
"An enjoyable fish-out-of-water tale that plays gritty frontier adventure against the finery of the Glittering Court."
—Publishers Weekly

COVER SET: The all-important September issues will close business in a few days, but the covers, at least for most of the magazines, have been in the bag for some time. For fall, fashion titles are banking on reliable bestsellers with all-American sex appeal and relatability, and TV starlets — and almost everyone is playing catch-up with those celebrities who have already done the other cover rounds.
Those starlets who failed to generate excitement at the newsstand in the past seem to have fallen out of favor — Taylor Swift, for one.
Jennifer Lawrence, most recently seen in October in W, November in Vogue U.K. and February in Vanity Fair, scored her first cover of Vogue, shot by Mario Testino. And all it took was winning an Academy Award.

Lily Tomlin? Jackie Gleason? Bill Cunningham? William Sloane Coffin? Russell Baker? Anonymous?
Dear Quote Investigator: There is a popular quip about the competitive daily grind of the working world. Here are two versions:
1) Even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat
2) So you've won the rat race. You're still a rat.
The influential comedian Lily Tomlin employed a version of this joke. Would you please explore its origin?
Quote Investigator: There is good evidence that Lily Tomlin used this gag by the 1970s, and a citation is given further below. Yet, the earliest appearance known to QI occurred in a book about the life of another famous comedian.
In 1956 "The Golden Ham: A Candid Biography of Jackie Gleason" by Jim Bishop was published. Gleason wrote a letter to his estranged wife Genevieve that was reprinted in the volume. He used a version of the witticism particularized to the television broadcasting industry. Boldface has been added to excerpts: 1
Television is a rat race, and remember this, even if you win you are still a rat.
In August 1956 a sports columnist named Bill Cunningham writing in "The Boston Herald" employed an instance of the joke, but he did not claim coinage; instead, he credited an anonymous "fellow". The topic of the column was the perennial baseball conflict between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees: 2
It's still a job lot pitching staff—like the fellow said, "You can win the rat race, but you're still a rat"—but, oooooh, that Yankee hitting, especially in the clutch!

The same day the election writ was dropped, the B.C. NDP has dropped its candidate for Kelowna-Mission.
Just hours after the B.C. Liberals demanded that Dayleen Van Ryswyk's resignation over controversial comments she made in the past about Natives and French Canadians, NDP leader Adrian Dix accepted her resignation.
"Earlier today, I was made aware of unacceptable comments made by Kelowna-Mission NDP candidate Dayleen Van Ryswyk," Dix said in a release. "I have accepted Ms. Van Ryswyk's resignation. A new B.C. NDP candidate will be announced shortly."
The Liberals appeared to have found her identity on the Castanet forums where posters ostensibly do so anonymously. Her resignation appears to corroborate the allegations.
Among the comments attributed to Van Ryswyk, under the name "Dayleen" was this about French Canadians: ""Seems the only group of people universally hated around the world other than the Americans are the french and FRENCH CANADIANS…the bigots are the french and not us…." (sic)"
And this one about Natives: "If their ancestors sold out too cheap it's not my fault and I shouldn't have to be paying for any mistake or whatever you want to call it from MY hard earned money."
Van Ryswyk did not respond to calls for comment. Tish Lakes, a former NDP candidate and now spokesperson for the riding association, said Van Ryswyk is taking some time off.
"I understand that. From my own experience, whatever else you were doing, when you are in the spotlight people can't really anticipate what may come," she said.
The party hasn't yet chosen another candidate, but Lakes said she would be willing to accept that responsibility if needed.
"We are still sorting that out. The candidate has resigned but we are just sorting out next steps," she says. "I was a previous candidate. There are some other good people too so I don't want to preclude that."

Written by Randy Thom
In the early years of work we are obsessed, so obsessed with tools that they become the focus of our attention. The desire to acquire the best tools, to master them and use them drives us forward. So much so that we over use them. We over process sounds in order to make them "ours." We pan too many sounds, use too much artificial reverb, remove so much of the noise that we take the life out of what isn't noise.
It's interesting, I think, that twenty or thirty years into our careers our obsession with tools has usually waned, especially those of us lucky enough to have become somewhat successful. We use fewer tools. We spend much less time thinking about them. No doubt part of the reason is that we eventually have assistants who can do our tool obsessing for us. But I think that's a minor reason.
Maybe even more important, we get better at hearing the sounds coming from behind us. I'm not talking about the surrounds. I mean our clients, our collaborators.
The major reason is that our ears have learned to serve us better. Instead of being intent on controlling everything with our gadgets we get better at knowing what needs and doesn't need to be manipulated. Maybe even more important, we get better at hearing the sounds coming from behind us. I'm not talking about the surrounds. I mean our clients, our collaborators. We hear more clearly what they say, and sense better what they don't say but nevertheless feel, and want.
The ear is a tool worthy of obsession at every point in our careers.
A big thanks to Randy Thom for letting us share this insightful post from his blog here on A Sound Effect!

Author Michael Chabon and director Jon Favreau have been in talks to team up for Magic Kingdom, Disney's family adventure project in which iconic characters and attractions come to life. Chabon, whose novels are all in various stages of film adaptation, could take over writing duties from Battlestar Galactica TV series writer, Ron Moore. Moore's original draft was axed as soon as Favreau came on board, fresh off the news that he wouldn't be directing Iron Man 3. Both Favreau and Chabon have experience working with Disney and should be a good team if the powers that be want to hand them the keys to the Magic Kingdom. Hit the jump to see the other projects this duo has in the works.
THR reports that Chabon and Favreau are in talks to team up, but no one has reached out to Disney executives as of yet. Favreau may be best known for his direction of the Iron Man movies, though his track record on Zathura and Elf shows he can handle the lighter family fare. His most recent work can be seen this summer in Cowboys & Aliens.
Chabon appears to be quite the busy man. While adaptations of his novels The Mysteries of Pittsburgh and Wonder Boys have long since left theaters, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay and The Yiddish Policeman's Union are currently in development. Chabon and his wife have also proposed a new drama for HBO called Hobgoblin. The logline reads: "A motley group of conmen and magicians who use their skills at deception to battle Hitler and his forces during WWII."
Chabon also appears to have some connections at Disney, as he has writing credits on both John Carter of Mars and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo. He was the first writer signed on to the project Snow and the Seven, which reimagines the seven dwarves as shaolin monks in 1880s British colonial China. Chabon was replaced because the studio wanted to go in a "more fun direction," so it'll be interesting to see how the Magic Kingdom deal works out.
And rest assured that Disney is not banking all of their franchise dollars on Magic Kingdom alone. They have a slew of other attraction film adaptations which you can check out here.

Although creatine was discovered in 1912 by researchers at Harvard University, it was until much later that an effort was made to isolate it and sell it as a supplement.
Today, world-wide sales of creatine in its various forms are at an all-time high. Not only are creatine-based supplements the best selling supplements as a category, but the range of supplements containing creatine is massive and continues to grow. The reason is easy to understand – it works and it is safe to use.
However, despite a weight of scientific evidence in favour of creatine's safety and efficacy, many people continue to question its safety despite their concerns having no basis in science. As always, a small amount of misinformation, particularly if it is sufficiently sensational, can have a rapid and sweeping effect. This is what has happened with creatine. One of the most common claims have been that of muscle cramps and dehydration. Even renal failure has been mentioned amongst the ills to be caused by creatine. I recently heard fears of bones becoming brittle through the use of creatine.
Owing to this misinformation, traced in some cases to school masters and coaches, some institutions have banned the use of creatine and done their best to discourage its use, insodoing, appearing to endorse the above alarmist stories.
It is important to take the initiative immediately and halt this spread of misinformation once and for all. Our purpose here is to help people make informed decisions about creatine, by looking at the science rather than accepting uninformed opinions.
Understanding Creatine
Creatine is manufactured by the body from three different amino acids: Arginine, methionine and glycine. It starts life in the liver and is circulated to muscle tissue throughout the body. It can also be found in foods such as meat and fish. The typical content of creatine in meat would be about 4g per kg. Most people take in about 1g per day from dietary sources and a further gram is synthesized by the body from other amino acids.
When supplemental creatine is added to the athlete's diet, he or she benefits in the following ways: after creatine is taken it bonds with a phosphate group to form creatine phosphate. CP (creatine phosphate) can then donate a phosphate molecule to ADP (adenosine di-phosphate) to form ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate). ATP is the energy medium of the cell and is used to perform nearly all cellular functions. It's presence is vital for muscle contraction. By adding creatine the user increases ATP production, in turn enhancing performance and reducing fatigue, especially in intense, short duration and explosive activities such as weightlifting and sprinting.
Another advantage of creatine consumption is its impact as a muscle hydrator, pulling fluid (which of course, contains nutrients drawn from dietary sources) into the cells. Nitrogen ions flood the cell and this increases protein synthesis. An increase in protein synthesis allows athletes to recover from exercise faster and in turn grow more muscle. http://www.ncaa.org/news/1996/961028/active/3338n02.html
Its quite easy to follow, therefore, that creatine supplementation is beneficial to athletes who engage in high intensity sports that require quick bursts of energy or power (a combination of strength and speed).
Side Effects
The most popular complaints that arise about creatine usage are as follows:
The "lack of long-term studies" on possible side effects. They claim that since creatine is a new supplement there is no way to tell whether it is safe for long term use. This statement is misleading as creatine has been known of for nearly a century, although it is only recently since it became popular. In fact, it has been readily available in the UK since the early 80s. Again, it stands to reason that if long term problems been a consequence of its use, they would certainly have arisen by now. And by use, we can safely add the concept of "abuse" considering that creatine was and has been widely available without limitation for nearly 30 years. Considering that athletes using it would have been profoundly impressed, there would have been at least a number of them that would have used a lot more than recommended or necessary. Yet all of them are here today, alive and well. It's also fair to say that if creatine had the potential to cause negative long term side effects, there would be indicators in the shorter term. In actual fact, there have been several studies on the use of creatine that concluded that long term creatine use has no side effects. (Poortmans, Jacques R. and Marc Francaux. Long-term Oral Creatine Supplementation Does not Impair Renal Function in Healthy Athletes. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise 31 (1999): 1108-1111.
Schilling, Brian K., et al. Creatine Supplementation and Health Variables: a Retrospective Study. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise 33 (2001): 183-186 ).
Cramping, muscle fatigue dehydration
One of the most frequent suggestions that have arisen is that the use of creatine causes dehydration and muscle cramps in users. Suggestions have emerged that creatine is the cause of frequent cramping and pulled muscles, both during and following exercise.
Coaches and trainers maintain that although they have no scientific proof, creatine must be the reason beause it is the only thing that has changed. These are only anecdotal reports. There is no scientific evidence to support these claims yet, seemingly, claimants make no effort to consider other causes. The cause of muscle cramps and dehydration are both due to inadequate water consumption, not creatine supplementation. There is scientific evidence to verify that creatine does not cause dehydration or muscle cramps among college athletes.
In the United States, a number of controlled studies have been carried out involving university student athletes by the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) which demonstrated creatine safety.
The first study evaluated side effects arising from creatine supplementation on Division I-A football players during 3-a-day practices. The second was similar, the only difference being that Division I-A baseball players were studied during the autumn collegiate baseball.
Both studies concluded that there were "no perceived side-effects or health-status problems associated with creatine supplementation" in the athletes during the time period in which they were examined.(Kreider et. al. Perceived Fatigue Associated With Creatine Supplementation During the Fall Collegiate Baseball Series of Division I Players. Journal of Athletic Training. April-June 2001 v31 i2 pS 83. & Greenwood et. al. Perceived Health Status and Side-Effects Associated With Creatine Supplemenation of Division I-A Football Players During 3-a-Day Training. Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport. March 2001 v72 i1 pA-29).
In order to discredit studies such as these, opponents of creatine supplementation state that they are short-term assessments and cannot determine how creatine supplementation affects dehydration and muscle cramping in athletes over a long period of time. As always, there is scientific evidence to dismiss their argument. A recent study examined the relationship between adverse health effects and long-term creatine supplementation in athletes. The researchers concluded that there "were no differences in incidences of cramps, muscle injury, or side effects between athletes and control subjects (Schilling, Brian K., et al. Creatine Supplementation and Health Variables: a Retrospective Study. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise 33 (2001): 183-186).
Renal (Kidney) Stress
Opponents of creatine supplementation also like to state that creatine is hard on the kidneys and can cause kidney damage with long term use. As usual, there is no scientific evidence to back up their claims. There is scientific evidence to disprove these claims however. A new study examined whether or not oral creatine supplementation affected the kidneys of athletes over short-, medium-, and long-term periods of supplementation. The researchers concluded that "no detrimental effects on athletes' kidney functions from short-, medium-, or long-term use of this supplement (Poortmans, Jacques R. and Marc Francaux. Long-term Oral Creatine Supplementation Does not Impair Renal Function in Healthy Athletes. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise 31 (1999): 1108-1111)." A doctoral student, Jeff Volek, conducting research at the Centre for Sports Medicine at Pennsylvania State University recently completed a study that found no negative side effects to creatine use states, "because it is a naturally occurring compound, side effects are not as likely… and it has been proven to be readily handled by the kidneys".
It works (therefore it's gives the user an unfair advantage)
Creatine is naturally occurring in good nutrition. That ought to be a reasonable starting point for any rational discussion on creatine. If good nutrition gives an athlete an advantage, is that advantage automatically an unfair one?
Opponents of creatine will always look for any reason to discredit it. Some challengers claim that creatine may give athletes an unfair advantage. Once again this is a ludicrous claim. Creatine is available to anyone and is very affordable (a 90-day supply can be found for as little as R200 in supplements stores across the country). Using the same view that creatine may provide an unfair advantage to athletes using it, one would have to evaluate whether vitamins provide an unfair advantage to athletes who use them. Should athletes thus be discouraged from supplementing with vitamins? Of course not. Creatine should not be treated any differently. Unfortunately, it is because of preposterous claims such as these that the NCAA (The National Collegiate Athletics Association) in the USA has banned the distribution of creatine (within its member bodies) stating that there are a number of schools that have more money than others and can provide items that others can't. This absurd state of affairs can be read about here: NCAA Clamps Down on Supplements (New NCAA rule disallowing creatine distribution draws criticism). Momentum Media. August/ September 2000. http://www.momentummedia.com/articles/am/am1205/bbsupplements.htm
It seems that because some institutions have more money than others and may be able to provide their athletes with creatine where other universities/colleges cannot, one must ask whether the NCAA should not then ban or limit the spending on training equipment and facilities that those institutions are allowed to buy? Following the NCAA's logic, because superior training equipment provides an unfair advantage to institutions with more money, should they not ban or limit the amount or quality of training equipment an institution can buy? Of course they don't. Creatine however seems to be treated differently because of the delusions that surround it.
Increasingly since 1980, and in particular over recent years, creatine has become known as an effective and safe supplement that benefits athletes who are looking to increase strength, size, and power. Its safety and effectiveness has been supported in numerous peer-reviewed studies and by many experts in the field of sports nutrition. Unfortunately, unfounded statements regarding creatine's safety, made by people looking to stir up controversy have caused the spread of misinformation throughout the country, even leading to otherwise reputable organisations banning or considering the banning on distribution of creatine. Hopefully, in the near future, this persistent misinformation will be replaced by scientific reasoning and allow people to make informed decisions regarding creatine.

I want to add that even if you update a field to a *smaller* size, initial data in the varchar2 column has to move to the empty space beyond the end of row data inside the block, leaving a hole in its original place, just as if it were updated to a longer string.
