On its face, there is no language in the Constitution that talks about either health care (specifically) or the ability for the legislature to coerce people into buying things (theoretical). The government is trying to make the argument that even though there is no language regarding this kind of regulatory activity, there is precedent that comes close.
In Wickard v. Filburn, for example, the Supreme Court upheld a law that allowed Congress to limit the amount of wheat that farmers could produce. The thought was that by limiting the amount of wheat produced, prices would go up and help the farmers.
The case came about when Roscoe Filburn produced more wheat than was allowed by law, even though he was only using the extra wheat for his family’s personal consumption and not putting it on the market. The Court held that if all farmers grew more wheat to consume personally, the price would drop. He was coerced to not grow a certain legal product on his own property.
Was the Court out of bounds to side with Congress on that matter? Kermit Roosevelt (great grandson of Teddy), an established law professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and I have shared some emails on this matter. A weird or even bad decision is not the same as judicial activism.
Why do we care about this? If the Court takes the traditional understanding of the Constitution, it can easily strike down parts of the health care law that passed in 2010. It could, however, take the same reasoning that it did in Filburn.
The idea behind the Wickard v. Filburn case was that all farmers needed to follow the law in order for prices of wheat to go up. If only a few, who felt differently, went their own way and continued to produce wheat, the price would stay too low.
The health care law works in much the same way – it only works if everyone is in the same boat. This is the argument that I imagine the government is making on this issue, although it could still be struck down as many justices see the Filburn case as a bad decision. This case would be a way to address that after 70 years of debating that decision.
Whether requiring people to purchase health care is good policy or not is by no means the issue in front of the Court, which only answers constitutional questions, not political questions.
The Race in NY06
The upcoming race in the 6th Congressional District will definitely heat up in the coming months.
The top of the ballot will feature two well-financed candidates. The races that are going be close in the House and Senate are going to get some heavy financial attention.
The problem for a challenger like Republican Dan Halloran is that the national Democratic Party will do whatever they have to in order to hold the seat. Groups like SKD Knickerbocker, a D.C.-based PR firm, could get involved and run ads in the district like they have for other small races. The "D" in SKD Knickerbocker, incidentally, is Anita Dunn, former White House Communications Director.
Halloran has an uphill climb, but he might get some outside support from GOP interests. After seeing Anthony Weiner’s seat go Republican and the possibility of David Storobin winning the 27th Senate District seat, there may enough of an incentive for national donors to roll the dice on Halloran.
Whether Halloran or his eventual Democratic opponent is better for the district may take a back seat to the tide of the campaign. Voter turnout will most likely be very high. That might help Halloran if enough center-right voters come out in Queens. The top of the ticket could help the Democratic opponent, as the district may go to the president comfortably.
Also a factor in this race is what happened in Halloran’s last race for City Council: the Democrats were split. As small as the support is for the Republicans, it is a unified front.

HARRISBURG, Pa. - A driver education workshop designed to meet the needs of older motorists will be held from 8 a.m. to noon Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 22 and 23, at the Shippensburg Firefighters' Activity Center, West Orange Street, Shippensburg.
The 55 ALIVE course reteaches the basic rules of dirving because most of the violations committed by older citizens are basic driving errors such as incorrect lane changing and passing, entering and leaving expressways and improper turning. The course also covers accident prevention measures and the effect of adverse driving conditions such as darkness, inclement weather and rush hour traffic.
Individuals completing the course are eligible for a five percent reduction in their insurance rates. To be eligible for the reduction, both sessions must be attended. If a vehicle is jointly owned, both owners must attend the course.
To register, send a check or money order for $8 per person to either of U.S. Rep. Jeff Coy's district offices at 39 W. King St., Shippensburg, Pa. 17257 or to 70 W. King St., Chambersburg, Pa. 17201. Checks should be made out to the AARP.

Employment is something that interests most people, but it's hard to find. To get the sort of lucrative position you want, knowledge of the process is key. In this article, you will find some of the best job seeking tips available. Keep reading to find out more.
When job hunting, talk with people you're already acquainted with. Check to see if they have contacts that can help you land an interview. This is the best place to start, as employers are more likely to take a second look at someone who has been recommended.
It is good to know how much people in your chosen industry are getting paid so you do not low-ball yourself during the negotiation process. Most people will put a low salary because they are afraid they can be turned away if they put a better rate. It may also make you appear desperate.
Remember that a resume is only a portion of what determines who gets hired. You must be sure that this is updated, as well as current and fresh. The resume is just one piece of the puzzle. Employers want people who can further the business, and improve on it. Always focus on your strengths, and play to them in the interview.
When you're filling out applications, use a form that will make the task easier. You'll find yourself having to supply dates and information that may not be fresh in your mind. You should create a cheat seat that contains all of this information. This will allow you to finish more applications.
Put together a sheet that contains all of the information that is typically requested on application forms. You may be asked for prior job information that you don't remember. You'll want to have this information written down somewhere, and keep it handy. This will allow you to finish more applications.
A cover letter is an important feature of a resume, so use this to showcase your leadership skills and overall qualifications for the job in a succinct way. If you are responding to an ad that requires leadership, focus your cover letter on your leadership skills. Check the ad and highlight any keywords you can use.
Make a form that will aid you while inputting applications. Applications usually ask you to recall information from the past. It is good practice to write everything down and keep the information handy. This will help to make the application process go a lot quicker and smoother.
Make sure to answer phone calls with a professional greeting when looking for a job. You may have some surprised people greeting you back as they won't expect such a proper person on the other end, but potential employers will be more than impressed at your demeanor, giving them the right impression from the start.
You always want to look your best when attending a job interview. Ensure your clothing is appropriate, and remember the small details, including your hair, nails, face, etc. It is important to look your best because a sloppy appearance can have a negative impact on the overall impression you give.
If you become aware you will be losing your job, apply for unemployment benefits immediately. Don't wait for your last day on the job or until your severance ends. The sooner you apply, the greater the likelihood of getting approved.
Regardless of the doubts you may have, keep on trying. Edit your resume and apply for position you normally would not. Get creative to get back to work. Combined with a persistent nature, these tips will work for you.

Ubly board OKs teacher contract
Published 11:10 am, Monday, April 25, 2016
UBLY After negotiating since the spring with the teachers union, the Ubly Community Schools Board of Education ratified a two-year teachers contract at its monthly meeting this week.
According to Superintendent Hal Hooks, teachers will receive a 2.25 percent raise in 2005-06 and 2006-07. In addition, union members changed from the Super Care I medical insurance plan to Choices II, which will save the district about $40,000. Hooks said some language was cleaned up in the contract, as well.
Its a good contract; its fair to both sides, Hooks said.
Five board members approved the contract. Board member Mike Rutkowski voted no and board Member Martin Kubacki abstained due to conflict of interest. The teachers union has about 50 members, Hooks said. The teachers already have ratified the contract.
In other business, high school Principal Fred Ligrow announced graduation has been scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday, May 21, 2006.
During public comment, members of the Ubly Athletic Boosters voiced concerns with the indoor and outdoor concession stands. The board voted to explore options to alleviate the heat in the indoor concession stand, with costs not to exceed $4,000 with the exception that the Athletic Boosters will help to defray the costs.
The board approved several coaching positions: James Becker as weight room coordinator and powerlifting coach; Pam Lackowski as junior varsity volleyball coach; Lorie Ruthko as freshman volleyball coach; Sue Bensinger as eighth grade volleyball coach; and Debbie Bischer as seventh grade volleyball coach.
The board commended many athletes on the girls cross country team, the boys cross country team, the girls basketball team, all conference football players, an all conference golfer, and the Signature Bank Athlete of the Week. The board also commended the September and October Students of the Month.

USC student wins Supreme Court copyright de
Wow! I wonder what losses we may have here in the USof A
Former USC student wins Supreme Court copyright decision
former USC student who bought textbooks in his homeland of Thailand and sold them in the United States won a major Supreme Court ruling on copyright law that gives foreign buyers of textbooks, movies and other products a right to resell them in the United States without the permission of the copyright owner.
Supap Kirtsaeng was sued by publisher John Wiley & Sons for violating its copyright protection. A jury in New York agreed with the publisher, and Kirtsaeng was assessed damages of $60,000 for willfully violating the company’s copyrights.
But in a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court reversed that judgment Tuesday and ruled that Kirtsaeng had the better interpretation of the law.

Devices make their first impressions with their external characteristics and aesthetics, but as the old saying goes it’s what’s on the inside that matters most. We already know what the OUYA is outfitted with — Tegra 3 silicon, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, WiFi N, Bluetooth 4.0, and so on and so forth — but now it’s time to get a look at those juicy components for ourselves.
The always-eager folks at iFixIt decided to give the OUYA a good ol’ teardown, showing us what makes the Android-based gaming console tick and tock. Inside is a hodgepodge of components strewn about quite nicely. It’s clear the OUYA team put some very talented engineers at work to make the console fit inside such a tiny little cube-esque box.
The teardown shows just how brilliant the component design is, with a high degree of modularity gracing the innards. This drove iFixIt to give OUYA 9 out of 10 in terms of repairability, meaning it is one of the most easily repaired devices out there. That’s good news in case this thing turns out to be a meltdown waiting to happen after long periods of use.
Oh, and we also get a look at the controller in this two-piece breakdown as well, if you’re interested. Take a look at the full teardown at iFixIt’s site, and remember that this is not meant to be a repair guide — that will come a bit later down the road once more people have the console in hand.

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson was a guest today on ESPN’s SportsCenter and discussed his continued rivalry with fellow former light heavyweight champ Rashad Evans, and his plans for their impending matchup, which headlines Saturday’s UFC 114 in Las Vegas.
“Rashad is one of those guys who’s too showboaty, too flashy and I don’t know if he’s going to fight me. I hope it’s an exciting fight for the fans, because I’ve got a job to do and I’m coming to destroy him. I’m coming for him,” Jackson said. “I never give predictions ’cause I ain’t psychic, but I plan on hurting this boy bad.”

What ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1’ Has in Common with ISIS Videos and Killing Bin Laden
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, the first cinematic chapter of the final installment in the dystopian film series, is the most political entry yet.
The movie, directed by Francis Lawrence, opens after the events of Catching Fire. Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) is in the psychiatric ward of District 13 where the rebel alliance, led by the resolute President Coin (Julianne Moore) and her Dick Cheney-ish advisor, Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman), is readying for war with the Capitol. Katniss is suffering PTSD from the third Quarter Quell, where she ended the games by firing a charged arrow into the games’ force field, shattering it to pieces. The move, according to Coin, “electrified the nation,” and the oppressed districts are rallying behind their arrow-slinging rebel figurehead, or “Mockingjay.”
Coin and Heavensbee want Katniss to star in a series of Rosie the Riveter-esque propaganda films for the rebels displaying both the damage wreaked by the Capitol, including the destruction of her home, District 12, and their defiance in the face of it. As a counterpunch, the Capitol and President Snow (Donald Sutherland) have tortured the captured Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), starved him, and “hijacked” him—a method of extreme, drug-induced brainwashing.
“One of the big themes—if not the big theme—of Mockingjay – Part 1 is the battle of the airwaves,” Lawrence tells The Daily Beast. “I don’t think teenagers really understand the role propaganda has in our lives in terms of politics, advertising, and the general manipulation of imagery.”
Snow and the Capitol broadcast a series of interviews with a brainwashed, gaunt-looking Peeta where he repeats lines given to him by his captors—that the rebel alliance should lay down their arms and stop fighting, and that Katniss is merely a pawn to further Coin’s agenda. The coerced Peeta transmissions are eerily similar to recent videos of ISIS captives who have been forced to speak ill of the west.
“I think there are parallels with ISIS,” says Lawrence. “We made this film before the videos were released, so it’s a chilling reminder of what can happen in the real world. Suzanne Collins wrote a series of books specifically about the consequences of war, and one of the facets we get to explore in this movie is the use of propaganda in war, and the manipulation of imagery and people in the use of propaganda. Unfortunately, this kind of thing has been happening for a really long time. Now, due to technology, it reaches people in a faster, more immediate way.”
Another real-world parallel with Mockingjay – Part 1 is a covert mission late in the film to rescue Peeta from the clutches of the Capitol. A volunteer team of six rebel fighters, led by Gale (Liam Hemsworth), flies in on a helicopter in the middle of the night and rappels down through a glass roof and into a compound allegedly housing Peeta.
“In the book, the rescue is obviously very important but since Katniss doesn’t go, she just hears about it, so it was something we had to engineer for the movie,” says Lawrence. “I was definitely inspired by Zero Dark Thirty as far as going in under cover of darkness, flying low, not being seen, and getting out really quickly.”
But the biggest likeness to Operation Neptune Spear is what occurs back at District 13’s command center. The six team members are wearing helmet-cams that transmit footage back to the base, and huddled together watching the footage is Katniss, Coin, Heavensbee, Beetee (Jeffrey Wright), and Finnick (Sam Claflin). The scene bears a striking resemblance to the now-iconic photo of President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden, and the national security team crammed into the Situation Room watching the Bin Laden raid.
“That one photo down in the meeting room in the White House—absolutely,” Lawrence says of the comparison. “It was based on that general idea.”
He adds, “My goal with Mockingjay is to make people think about war—the sides of war, the consequences of it, the propaganda, and the images we’re being shown.”
Tune in next week for the rest of our in-depth interview with Mockingjay director Francis Lawrence.

The Presque Isle County prosecutor’s office will be in need of a new assistant prosecutor following the resignation announcement of Meghan Hurley, who has served in the office for six years this month. Her last day is Feb. 28.
Hurley made the public announcement during Friday’s Presque Isle County Board of Commissioners meeting. She will be working in a similar position in Berrien County.
“Meghan is an amazing young lady, who is an extremely talented lawyer,” said county prosecutor Rick Steiger. “I am sorry that she is leaving.”
Unlike, previous assistant prosecutors, her love of Rogers City made it difficult for the Buffalo, New York transplant to leave. She starts her new job, Monday, March 3. “I wanted to stay as long as I could,” said Hurley Tuesday afternoon. This was her first job out of Cooley Law School in Lansing.
Being raised, and going to school in larger cities, it was an adjustment coming to Presque Isle County.
“I grew to love it,” she said. “It’ll now be an adjustment going back to a bigger city.”
Meghan moved to the area on Super Bowl Sunday, 2008, and started the next day.
“I remember everything was closed, so I ate at Kelly’s (Venture Inn) for the first time.” She did not have any cash and found out they did not take credit cards. She was surprised when they said, “‘That’s OK, you can pay us tomorrow,’ ” said Meghan, errupting in laughter of disbelief that a stranger was allowed that courtesy. “It’s a great story, and it’s a great part of being part of this town.”
She’s also enjoyed working with her office family on the second floor of the county annex.
“The community takes you in,” said Meghan. “My family would come here from Buffalo and spend a week or two.”
She would have liked to stay, but her fiancé works downstate.
“I completely understand,” said Steiger. “He attempted to locate employment in this area, and he was unable to do so.” The wedding is scheduled for late in the summer.
Steiger knew this day could come.
“When I interviewed Meghan, I was impressed with her character,” said Steiger. “I had one condition, if she accepted the job. ‘You will have to promise me you will remain here for two years.’ ” His hope is to hire someone that would get vested in the community, rather than leave after a year. Meghan was impacted by parental termination/abuse/neglect cases “where you start off by taking the child and putting them in foster care and seeing them progress.” Sometime the parents cannot overcome their problems, and working in the office for six years, she has seen some get adopted and have better lives.
“I always tried to sit in on the adoptions,” she said.
Meghan also worked on the forfeiture portion of the recent horse neglect case. “That really showed an outpouring of the community. It took a group effort, because we don’t have the facilities to house that many animals. Animals cannot help themselves. In cases like that, it is rewarding.”
“We are gong to miss her,” said Steiger.

The premier source of Malted Rice – The best option for making Gluten Free Beer.
We have several flavors available including:
Pale Rice Malt
Biscuit Rice Malt
Crystal Rice Malt
James’ Brown Rice Malt
Dark Rice Malt
Gas Hog Rice Malt
I have been a home brewer since 1985. When my wife determined she was gluten intolerant, we cut out most grains including corn. She looked at me and said “You’re a brewer, brew me a great tasting gluten-free beer”. I decided to try malting and roasting rice to create new color and flavor components. After more than four years of development , I have created several styles of ales and lagers. The ales and beers I produce are naturally malted and brewed using California rice, hops, water and gluten-free yeast.

It's an unfortunate fact of life that most of us will never have our life story turned into a major motion picture. Even the vast majority of superstar professional athletes don't get their own movies, so there's almost no hope for us commoners.
But that doesn't mean we can't speculate about who would play them (or even us) in the unlikely event that some sucker green lights the project. I've spitballed some movie ideas and made tentative casting decisions for the life stories of some of your favorite sports hotties.
Now let's take a look at what the movies of 20 sports hotties could look like if someone wants to hire me to make it happen.

Hidden Profits: Use Your Blog To Increase Your Bottom Line In The Background
I know it doesn’t happen often but every now and then you’ll trip over a blog that has no obvious signs of monetization – no AdSense ads in the posts, no banners in the sidebars, not even an Amazon search widget. How do these bloggers do it? They don’t make money directly from their blogs, they make money because of their blogs.
Many of these blogs don’t even get what you and I would consider a significant amount of traffic, yet in most cases they produce as much or more income than blogs monetized with traditional methods. I know of a freelance writer who’s lucky if he gets 100 visitors a month and he has no desire to go after more traffic because he just doesn’t need it for his business.
How Do You Make Money “Because” Of Your Blog?
Obviously, the only way to make money is to sell something, usually a product or a service. In most cases, bloggers who make money because of their blogs are promoting themselves or their own products or services.
Consultants – If you’re an expert in your niche you can develop your own online consulting service. People are visiting your blog because they want to learn something and there are plenty of people out there willing to pay for an in-depth, one-on-one consultation.
Freelancers – Writers, graphic designers, copywriters, blog designers, CAD experts, virtual assistants – the list goes on. You’ve seen yourself how crowded the Web is. Webmasters pay good money to hire talented people to help with all aspects of their online business. And there’s still a huge market for freelancers willing to work offline, as well.
Speakers – If you’re an expert in your niche and you enjoy public speaking there are clubs and organizations in even the smallest towns who’d be interested in hearing your presentation. You can even set up your own seminars and charge an admission fee.
What You Need To Make Money “Because” Of Your Blog
High-quality content – It’s important to provide high-quality content when you’re promoting affiliate products simply because you have tons of competition. But generally, your job is done once your visitor clicks your link. At that point, the advertiser takes over and provides the kind of over-the-top content that gets the sale.
When you’re promoting yourself you are the advertiser. If you want people to hire you as a consultant, a speaker, or as a content provider or designer, then you need to show them you’re THE expert in your niche, not just another blogger.
Targeted traffic – Even the highest-quality content won’t do the job if you’re attracting the wrong traffic. My freelance writer friend first started blogging about writing tips. The traffic she attracted consisted of people who wanted to learn how to write. When she started blogging about how and where to use your online content to attract traffic, then she started attracting readers who wanted to know more about the benefits of using high-quality content. Her traffic numbers are a lot smaller but it’s targeted traffic that converts.
The biggest difference between making money directly from your blog and making money because of your blog is the type of content you need to provide. Instead of always tell your readers how to do something, be sure to tell them why it’s so beneficial if they do it. Then, when they can’t do it themselves for whatever reason, they’ll be happy to hire you.
When you're learning how to make money blogging, you need to understand that the very first step is to create a website. If you're interested in starting your own blog, I have written a step-by-step guide that will show you how to start a successful blog for as little as $3.49 per month (this low price is guaranteed only through my link). You will also receive your own domain name for free ($15 value) by clicking on this link and purchasing at least 12 months of hosting with BlueHost. Keep in mind that if you're learning how to make money off a blog, the first thing you need is your own self-hosted website. It will help you look more professional in front of your visitors, clients, companies, and everyone else.

Hop, Illumination Entertainment’s second animated feature following last year’s Despicable Me, debuted in first place in North America with $37.5 million last weekend, making it the second strongest domestic opening of 2011. The solid US debut for the live-action/CG combo was tempered by the film’s tepid foreign premiere where it grossed under $7 million from 2,362 locations in 26 markets. Universal, which distributed the film, offered a perfectly rational reason for the poor overseas performance, blaming it on the “first warm and sunny weekend of the year.”
ILM’s Rango scored $4.5 million in its fifth frame for a total of $113.7 million in the US. Extraterrestrial live-action/CG combo Paul followed behind with $4.2 million and a three-week total of $31.8 million.

An invitation to a friend’s cottage is always exciting. It’s a rare opportunity to escape the city for a relatively inexpensive relaxing getaway with the perfect company. But that coveted invite is a privilege, not a right. Cottage owners only enjoy playing host to friends who impress them with their conscientious attitude and come fully prepared. Want to score a permanent spot on the guest list? Make sure you never show up without the following items.
Alcohol is the number one must-bring item. It’s non-negotiable. The worst kind of cottage guests are the ones who show up with no libations and still expect to get a good dock buzz. It’s likely that your hosts will be happy to share some of their own booze, but only if you add your own contributions to the mix. And if you’ve got very specific drinking needs, you can’t expect other people to accommodate. If you only drink lite beer, sip pink wine, or chug straight from the bottle, you’re on your own!
2. A towel (or two!)
You’re going to a lake. You will spend a lot of time wet and covered in sand. Consider it your responsibility to be clean and dry when you enter your friend’s cottage. If they don’t have enough towels to share with you, it’s going to get messy fast. And even if your host has an abundance of clean towels, they’ll be very grateful that you’re not adding to the laundry pile.
Don’t be that person who didn’t plan ahead for a weekend of baking in the hot sun – who sheepishly has to borrow the sunscreen bottle every few hours to reapply. Your friends will hand it over to save you from a nasty sunburn, but they won’t appreciate your lack of foresight. And if the lotion runs out before the end of the weekend, it won’t be pretty for anyone.
4. A folding chair
You never know what outdoor seating situation will be like. And whether you’re lounging down on the dock, relaxing around a roaring fire or sipping beers on the deck, you’ll want to be comfortable. For your own sake as much as your hosts, bring a back-up chair in case there aren’t enough seats for everyone.
It may seem harmless to rely on the existing insect repellent for just a few days. A spray here and there won’t make a difference, right? Maybe, but by the end of the summer—with numerous friendly and family to entertain—your hosts will have spent a small fortune helping their loved ones fend off mosquitos. They’ll be impressed if you show up prepared to battle the bugs on their own.
Your hosts will definitely want to feed you. They may even want to dazzle you with their cottage culinary skills. But you shouldn’t expect them to foot the entire food bill. Ideally you should offer to plan, shop for, and cook at least one meal, but if you’re truly kitchen challenged or your host insists on doing all the cooking, find out what they’ll need and offer to pick up a few things on the way.
Your friend’s cottage is not a hotel so don’t assume their bathroom comes with complimentary shampoo and toothpaste. It’s proper etiquette to pack a complete toiletry kit and let your friends save their supplies for future cottage weekends.
Bonus: A flashlight
This is a great one for those of you who have been invited to a more rustic place. If you have to use the facilities in the middle of the night you’ll need easy access to a flashlight—unless you’re weirdly fond of stumbling around in the dark over foreign terrain. Even if there are indoor bathrooms a flashlight will be very handy for trips to and from the cottage during a campfire, especially after a few beers.

<a href="http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2011/11/21/foreclosure-firm-steven-j-baum-to-close-down/">The NY Times reports</a> that Steven J. Baum P.C., the firm of foreclosure lawyers who had earlier agreed to a settlement of 2 million dollars for improper activities that included<a href="http://longislandbankruptcyblog.com/steven-baum-pc-served-foreclosure-papers/"> "robo-signing" foreclosure documents</a>, will permanently shut down. The reason was not because of their bank related actions, but rather a Times story showing photos of a homeless themed party last Halloween.
Publication of pictures some of of the firm's 89 employees in costumes mocking folks who had lost their homes led Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to forbid servicers of their mortgages from using Mr. Baum and his colleagues.
Joe Nocera, The Times columnist who originally wrote about the firm’s Halloween party, published another column about the controversy. In it, he quoted an e-mail that Mr. Baum had sent him last week.
<blockquote>“Mr. Nocera — You have destroyed everything and everyone related to Steven J. Baum PC. it took 40 years to build this firm and three weeks to tear down."</blockquote>

Dannii began her transformation three years ago and is now in maintenance mode.
One of the best things about our digital age is how small it makes the world feel. Just a decade or two ago, it may have been tricky to connect with UK resident Dannii of Hungry Healthy Happy (requested by you, her fans, as an individual to feature on a previous Fit Blogger We Love post!). But when we reached out to her just days ago, we heard back within minutes. Awesome news for us, since we could hardly wait to hear how she was able to drop nearly 100 pounds!
Read on for success secrets from this clean eating fan who inspires readers worldwide.
My "I did it" moment: Winning the mental battle that comes along with losing weight. One day everything just “clicked.” I realized that eating didn't have to be a battle. I didn't have to deprive myself and I could still enjoy the foods I loved every now and then. Working out didn't have to be a chore, I just needed to find the workouts that I enjoyed and looked forward to doing. Of course there are still days when I don't want to get up at 6 a.m. to hit the gym and other days where I want to eat a giant pizza (I'm human), but giving myself permission to sometimes skip a workout and indulge in a pizza was pretty liberating. I have found balance, happiness and health, to me that means that "I did it."
My favorite fit snack: I am a big snacker—that is something that hasn't really changed since I have lost 98 pounds—but what I snack on has changed. I definitely have a sweet tooth, so I get creative in the kitchen and create healthy snacks that taste like chocolate cake, but don't come with all the calories, like these healthy chocolate fudgey brownies. You would never know they were healthy and only 135 calories a slice!
My favorite way to work out: I could never stick to the same workout day in day out as I would get bored and not stick to it. I recently started running (it is a bit of a love/hate relationship). It gives me such a clear head after and I definitely feel sore muscles the next day. But, equally, I love just turning up my favorite music and dancing round the house for an hour. For me, a workout has to be fun—otherwise I just won't want to do it.
On my fit life list: A 10K. That might sound small to many of the amazing people out there that are regularly running marathons, but to me that will be HUGE and the only person I am competing with is my former self! From the girl who got out of breath getting up from a chair, being able to run a mile was something I never even dreamed would be possible, so finishing a 10K race will be a very special moment for me. I am currently training with my husband, but taking it very slowly. Being obese for so long means that my knees carried a lot of weight and I get knee problems very easily. I may be progressing slowly, but I am progressing and that is what is important.
My biggest motivator: My health—and that is the reason why I lost weight in the first place. Sure, feeling great about the way I look is a very welcomed added bonus, but I was making myself ill with the things I was doing to my body a few years ago. Reminding myself of how it felt to live like that everyday and never wanting to go back is what motivates me to stay on track. Your health really has to be your biggest motivator. Without health, life is pretty tough.

A power outage at the 18-story Brighton Towers senior living complex on East Brighton Avenue in Syracuse left dozens of people unable to get back in to or even leave their apartments for more than ten hours on Friday.
The power came back on around 6 p.m. Residents of the apartment building say the full power went out around 7 a.m. on Friday morning. Some had been without power since midnight. Residents were unable to use the elevators or any apartment appliances. Because the elevators were not functioning, many residents were unable to leave from or return to their apartments, especially those on the upper floors.
"I lost a job today from a temp agency on account of my phone was dead, and I had no way to charge it," said tenant Susan Tinsley.
â??I had to walk down 14 flights of stairs and I havenâ??t gone up since,â?? said tenant Dennis Hough.
Brighton Towers is managed by Rochester Management. The company brought cookies and water to the residents stuck in the lobby. When a CNY Central crew arrived at the apartments around 4:45 p.m., the management office was dark, leaving only a security guard to look over the tenants.
"It was havoc," said resident Anne Hobert. "It was a mess. It's been out before, but it's never been this long, where nobody's told us anything that's going on either."
A representative with the emergency after-hours line said residents should call their power company. National Grid was on location trying to resolve the situation.
Bob Barker, owner of Bob Barker's Famous Hot Dogs and Coneys in Syracuse, heard the news about the outage and broughkt his hot dog truck to Brighton Towers.
"I just like to help people if I can," said Barker. "I was brought up like that. My mom and taught me if you can help someone, help them, you know? And these people, they need help."
Barker had an estimated 400 hot dogs to hand out to residents who had gone all day with little or no food. Brighton Towers management had only provided cookies, pretzels and water to residents during the outage.
Manager Nancy Madugo maintained that management had been on site all day, and had been waiting for equipment from National Grid to de-energize the blown transformer that caused the outage.
National Grid said the transformer is owned by Brighton Towers, and they were only on scene to de-energize it.
A National Grid spokesperson said the company received a call from Brighton Towers around 2 a.m. on Friday. Crews were on scene early in the morning, and received a request from Brighton Towers to de-energize the transformer before noon. Because of the transformer's location and the surrounding snow and ice, a specialized piece of equipment was needed. National Grid said the equipment was on scene around 3p.m to de-energize the transformer, which was then repaired by a contractor working for Brighton Towers.

One has just completed the most public, drawn out, some would say bitter election campaign in the full glare of the media and the world. The other has quietly fixed the new autocratic regime for the next decade behind closed doors.
This week, Xi Jinping, a member of the party’s politburo since 2007 and currently vice president, succeeds Hu Jintao as president, potentially ushering in a new period of enlightened leadership (or so some had hoped) but President Hu’s outgoing address to the party’s 18th National Congress suggests in many crucial areas that little is going to change.
There is a huge amount of debate about the merits of political change for China. Traditionalists will point to the past decade during which China has gone from the sixth largest economy to the second largest in the world, more than quadrupled it gross domestic product, and drastically raised living standards.
Reformers will point to cases like that of Bo Xilai, former Chongqing party boss, now mired in corruption and, with his wife, convicted of murder as examples of a deeply corrupt political system.
With the state not just involved, but driving the economy, such corruption taints nearly every aspect of business activity. As worrisome to the political elite is the growing sense of frustration among a population that sees a growing gap between the general population and the ruling elite and business community, and sees rampant corruption among state officials.
One FT article quotes a professor of politics at a Chinese university who said within three years, the Chinese people would take to the streets to demand the government loosen its grip on power.
In the article, President Hu Jintao acknowledged, “social problems have increased markedly” under his decade of rule. He also warned that if the party failed to curb corruption, “it could prove fatal to the party and even cause the collapse of the party and the fall of the state.”
Continued in Part Two.

Wayne "The Train" Hancock is the self-described "King of Juke Joint Swing." Despite what you might think, that's a pretty fair label for this eccentric Texan. It's great to see that he's scheduled to play The Taphouse in Hampton Aug. 22.
Hancock is 47 years old. Musically he's an anachronism in the best sense. His sound is closely tied to that of the hillbilly and rockabilly acts of the 1940s and 1950s. Hancock isn't putting on a disguise, though. He lives the part.
"I was looking for something that was different," he said in an interview posted on the Retrospective website. "When I listen to Hank Williams, I get chills down my spine. I don't get those chills when I listen to music on the radio. I play what gives me a good feeling."
His bio explains:
"Wayne Hancock is that rare breed of traditionalist, one who imbues his retro obsessions with such high energy and passion that his songs never feel like museum pieces he's trying desperately to preserve. Hancock is most often compared to Hank Williams, and he can indeed be a hardcore honky tonker, but there's more to him than that: he also displays a genuine affinity for stomping rockabilly, Western swing, blues, and old-timey country à la Jimmie Rodgers."
His most recent album is "Viper of Melody," which was released in 2009 on the Bloodshot Records label.

Bedford-Jones, Henry James O'Brien: H. Bedford-Jones Sampler. V1. 22 May 2012
Henry James O'Brien Bedford-Jones (1887–1949) was a Canadian historical, adventure fantasy, science fiction, crime and Western writer who became a naturalized United States citizen in 1908. After being encouraged to try writing by his friend, writer William Wallace Cook, Bedford-Jones began writing dime novels and pulp magazine stories. Bedford-Jones was an enormously prolific writer; the pulp editor Harold Hersey once recalled meeting Bedford-Jones in Paris, where he was working on two novels simultaneously, each story on its own separate typewriter. Bedford-Jones cited Alexandre Dumas as his main influence, and wrote a sequel to Dumas' The Three Musketeers, D'Artagnan (1928).He wrote over 100 novels, earning the nickname "King of the Pulps". His works appeared in a number of pulp magazines. Bedford-Jones' main publisher was Blue Book magazine; he also appeared in Adventure, All-Story Weekly, Argosy, Short Stories, Top-Notch Magazine, The Magic Carpet, Golden Fleece, Ace-High Magazine, People's Story Magazine, Hutchinson's Adventure-Story Magazine, Detective Fiction Weekly, Western Story Magazine, and Weird Tales.
THIS story, told in a quaint Oriental Masonic lodge-meeting, has all the tropical color and dramatic intensity which Mr. Bedford-Jones handles so skillfully.
The first of a captivating series detailing the exploits of the most interesting detective since Sherlock Holmes—by the author of “Madagascar Gold” and “Geyser Reef.”
THREE SMART SILKS
Three clever silks cooked up an air-tight swindle. They laid the cards on the table — all above board — within the law! The bluff worked great — until a bigger bluffer came along!

Pharmacist Narender Dhallan winces as he looks at a computer screen in his drugstore on a recent morning. For the second time in two hours, he has to decide whether to fill a prescription and lose money or send his customer away.
This time it's for a generic antifungal cream that cost him $180 wholesale. The customer's insurance, however, will pay Dhallan only $60 to fill it.
"This used to be something that would happen once in a rare, rare while," Dhallan says. "Now it's becoming routine."

It is another day in Pakistan and it is another assault on Shias in Pakistan. It does not matter how many have died, because the life of every human being is sacred. What matters is the continued helplessness of those who stand for human dignity and life. Fourteen-hundred years, have passed and the Muslim community and its scholarship, by and large, has failed to effectively develop a method to resolve its political, social cultural and theological differences. On the contrary the idea that the opposition must be eliminated physically has gained more popularity. It is a sad situation for every sincere and serious follower of the Quran and its eternal message of peace, freedom, unity and justice for all.
The Prophet (s) and his closest supporters including the first four Caliphs did not identify them as Shias or Sunnis. They had differences over their style of governance and their interpretation of Quran, but rarely did they demonstrate violent tendencies towards each other to settle them. Imam Ali (kw) did not exhort his supporters to take up arms against Caliph Abu Bakr (ra) or Omar (ra). Rarely did we find any reference in his or their sermons of cussing or cursing those who are often accused of usurping his right to leadership or challenging their authority.
The Shia and Sunni differences rest upon the issue of political and spiritual leadership of Umma. For 1.1 billion Sunnis the Khilafat that is important and for 350 million Shias it is the Imamat that is significant. Even though the majority of religious leaders of the two communities (leave alone the masses) would not be able to clearly identify the differences between the two approaches of governance and succession of the Prophet (s). For over 6 billion of people of the world, this debate is irrelevant. A great majority of non-Muslims have adopted political ideas that negate the philosophy of Imamat and Khilafat altogether. And in the most world, including the predominantly Shia Iran or Iraq or Sunni dominated Saudi Arabia or Pakistan, no one takes the khlafat or imamat seriously in political realms.
All other differences have stemmed from this basic issue that emerged in a tribal culture and played out in an despotic environment that was still adjusting to divine teachings pertaining to the sanctity of human life and dignity, equality, rights of women and the right to dissent.
People usually interpret violent events such that took place in Pakistan with political spectacles. Some have already argued that India’s intelligence RAW, or CIA or Mossad might be involved in them as they want to destabilize Pakistan specially at a time, when China and Pakistan are increasing their level of cooperation in the upcoming port of Gawadhar in Baluchistan.
Regardless, the fact is that the seeds of hatred often leading to violence are sown by those who claim to speak in the name of God and his prophets. They could have come together to look at the differences to decide that they would not resolve to violence to settle them, that they would refrain from using vulgar language to denounce each other and that they would deal the opposing viewpoints with respect.
The Divine teachings do not promote violence or terror. Their purpose is to help individuals to control their anger to create a peaceful environment so that people can learn to grow out of their differences. By emphasizing the differences, the clergy is not only defying the Divine teachings but rebelling against it, a sad reality that most of us has accepted and cherished.
The only way out is to stand up against these differences and assert that Muslims will not identify them with either Shia or Sunni or Hanafis, Maliks, Ibadis, Ismaelis, Hanbalis, Shafais, Malikis, Deobandis, Barelvis. The malice of disunity and conflict has pervaded our culture for long and it would take long before its impact can be reduced. The first thing we need is to have people who can say boldly and clearly that we are Muslims and we are part of the Umma of the Prophet (s). It means that we stop asking the question: are you a Sunni or Shia or this or that? It means that we stop fighting over differences that we see among ourselves. It means showing respect to differences even if the opponent is not willing to show respect to us.
If we do not change ourselves, both Shias and Sunnis would become irrelevant to Islam as they have already become irrelevant to the world. They would have only a nuisance value that through these killings they have been demonstrating. In the words of the Quran: “while that which is for the good of mankind remains on the earth. Thus Allah sets forth parables.†(13:17)

It’s probably no surprise that the majority of people don’t floss enough (or at all). Some people think that taking out floss and wrapping it around their finger can be too much work. But even with dental flossers, toothpicks, interdental brushes and even battery-powered or electrical flossing devices people are still not flossing as much as they should be. So if we skip out on it so much, is it really that important? YES!
When you don’t floss, you risk letting gingivitis and cavities form between your teeth. Flossing prevents dental plaque buildup and bacteria that leads to irritation in the gums that causes bleeding and inflammation. It also leads to the growth of harmful bacteria that will destroy the enamel between your teeth, consequently forming a cavity.
If left untreated, gingivitis can turn into periodontitis which is also linked to diabetes and low birth weight in newborn babies. The best way to prevent other serious side effects from occurring is to practice good dental hygiene and to visit a dentist regularly for periodic check-ups.
Failing to floss on a regular basis and remove the plaque between your teeth can turn into tartar as well, which cannot be removed with toothpaste. Since tartar is what eats away at your teeth and gum sand could eventually result in your tooth falling out.
If you need a regular dental check-up, teeth whitening, cosmetic fillings, and more, Dr. Austin and his team can help you create the smile you’ve been dreaming of this season at our award-winning Arkansas family dental practice. Click HERE to schedule a consultation with us today!

LSC Releases Report On Justice Gap In America
October 17, 2005
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Report finds that at least 80 percent of the civil legal needs of low-income Americans are not being met.
WASHINGTON, DC--The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) today released "Documenting the Justice Gap in America: The Current Unmet Civil Legal Needs of Low-Income Americans," a report that concludes that at least 80 percent of the civil legal needs of low-income Americans are not being met.
The report was a culmination of a year-long study by LSC to document the extent to which current civil legal needs of low-income Americans are not being met, taking into account all the changes in the civil justice system in the last decade, including both LSC-funded services and non-federal resources.
"There is a serious justice gap in America. Stagnant federal funding and an increased poverty population have served to increase the unmet demand. The LSC Unable to Serve' study, the first comprehensive national statistical study ever undertaken, established that for every client who receives service, one applicant was turned away, indicating that 50 percent of the potential clients requesting assistance from an LSC grantee were turned away for lack of resources on the part of the program," said LSC President Helaine M. Barnett.
Barnett added, "The analysis for the report was concluded in August 2005. Consequently, none of the data in the report reflects the increased need for legal assistance that will result from the impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita by a greatly expanded client-eligible population, not only in the states where the hurricanes struck, but across the nation where evacuees have been relocated. A disaster of this magnitude highlights the critical need for civil legal assistance."
The report is available for download from LSC's website.
Established by an Act of Congress in 1974, the mission of the Legal Services Corporation is to provide equal access to the system of justice and improve opportunities for low income people throughout the United States by making grants for the provision of high-quality civil legal assistance to those who would be otherwise unable to afford legal counsel. LSC currently funds 140 independent local legal aid programs around the nation. Its 11-member Board of Directors is appointed by the President of the United States with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate. For more information, please visit www.lsc.gov.
Legal Services Corporation (LSC) is an independent nonprofit established by Congress in 1974 to provide financial support for civil legal aid to low-income Americans. The Corporation currently provides funding to 133 independent nonprofit legal aid programs in every state, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories.

"A Letter to Elia"
Martin Scorsese and co-director-writer Kent Jones fashion a film about director Elia Kazan that reveals the man through his work. Clips from his films are layered and juxtaposed with archival footage of Kazan himself being interviewed. This is interspersed with straight-to-camera exposition from Scorsese. The script emphasizes Kazan's use of realism, locations and subtlety of performances. G

Working the oblique is a reference to the extra effort that is today required if we are to use immediate resources to raise awareness of our presence on the planet and, yes, our efforts to seek employment. There is so much emphasis on social media and networking. When it comes to “showing up” for that potential job change lurking on the horizon, try boosting your image on the extremely popular LinkedIn. Many of you may already have created a profile in which case it is important to maintain your creation with current information about who you are in “The World of Work”. The World of Work includes certifications that you have completed, any recent changes in work history, and interests that you feel will add to a broader professional picture of you that might catch the eye of recruiters. More importantly, however, it is a ready resource on a resume as not everything fits neatly on a one or two-page submission to a potential employer or in those neat little fields that need to be filled in when filling out an online application. Your LinkedIn profile does contain a URL link for referral. Some application processes ask about the presence of a LinkedIn profile.
I also find that any tangential interests you have, as in groups available through LinkedIn, will help bolster your connections. For example, I follow healthcare and technology information and where those two fields are in play with one another is of great interest to me so I belong to HIMSS (Health Information and Management Systems Society) and supply chain groups. Information from these two areas are always in my LinkedIn account and keep me current with issues, ideas, and the latest sharing of knowledge. This could be of importance if you have not been in these fields for some time and want to know what is “up” in the current moment, what might be sparking discussion.
Please remember that a social media presence is passive. It only works as an assist to the splendid person you are during that all critical elevator speech whose hallmark is the compressed two minutes (extended play version) where you talk about who you are, your passions, and what you do. A genuine encounter can lead to the next job potential. If the rapport is sincere, it will be remembered. As will your business card with your handwritten cell phone number given at the right moment when genuine encounter meets opportunity!
Best wishes on the job hunt,

Laparoscopic liver resection in the treatment of HCC with liver cirrhosis: would it provide superiority to conventional open hepatectomy?
Treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) should focus on both curability and invasiveness. Liver resection is the ideal option for solitary or limited multifocal HCCs in patients with preserved liver function (1). The rate of HCC recurrence is known to be associated with cirrhosis progression. Surgical indications for HCC associated with portal hypertension remain controversial, however, liver resection could be one of option in selected patients with mild portal hypertension, considering the shortage of donors for liver transplantation (1). In this group of patients, careful consideration in surgical candidacy with assessment of hepatic functional reserve, as well as, management of portal hypertension are extremely important in order to avoid postoperative complications such as ascites and liver failure.

Preparation is essential when selling your food product to a distributor
Food businesses that want to sell their food to a distributor can benefit from adjusting their product price, configuring a pallet pack size, checking references and much more.
Many food manufacturers have the common misconception that a food distributor is a marketing solution for their food product. However, large food distributors mainly serve as a logistics solution for food manufacturers who have built up and managed sales in 15-25 stores.
If you have this level of sales and believe you are ready for a large food distributor, start with asking your current stores whether they are open to additional distributors or whether they only use their current distributors. Regardless of who the distributor is, here are some quick tips to preparing your product and business for use of a distributor:
Pricing Your Product
If you have been serving as your own distributor up until now and have been absorbing the costs of delivery, you will need to reduce the wholesale cost of your product to deduct the “delivery expense” from your price. This will then position you to have a product price that allows for a distributor mark-up when they sell your product to the store. Since stores will expect to pay approximately the same price they have always paid for your product, this reduction in your price to the distributor will help ensure consistent pricing of your product on the shelf.
Refrigerated and Frozen Needs
A high volume of unit sales will be expected for most distributors to carry your perishable product. This will assure them of a consistent income from your company’s product. A licensed, temperature-controlled warehouse is critical for refrigerated and frozen products. Low-volume companies will have to find an alternative such as a small distributor or their own refrigerated or frozen cargo van as they maintain and build their sales.
Pallet Your Product
As you produce at a higher volume, your company will need to have your product on pallets to reduce the amount of handling of your product. Understand how many cases high and wide your distributors prefer.
Delivery to the Distributor
You will still need to get your product to the distributor so determine how you or your co-packer will carry out this logistics step.
In-Store Shelving and Expired Product Checks
Determine and understand the distributor’s role. The most common role is to “drop” the shipment at the back door with the manufacturer being responsible for putting the product on the shelf and checking for old product. If the distributor does more than this, the percentage they charge will most likely be more to pay for these services.
Payment and Expenses
When you use a distributor, you are selling your product to them, not the store. Understand how you get paid and what the timeline is. Most commonly you will wait 30 days from delivery. Also, learn about the policy of the distributor for shrinkage (when your product does not sell in the store or expires) as you may end up buying the product back.
Ask the distributor what other product lines they carry so you can check with those companies to determine their level of satisfaction with the distributor.
As a manufacturer, you still need to market your product in the stores. Whether it is coupons, price drops, Buy-One-Get-One (BOGO’s) or demonstrations, you will need to coordinate these with the store yourself and pay part or all of the price for such price drops. Build a relationship with food store managers is essential. Plan to spend time on this critical part of your business.
The MSU Product Center, in partnership with Michigan State University Extension, provides free business counseling for product development, package selection and marketing strategies that will help Michigan entrepreneurs commercialize high-value, consumer–responsive food products.

A senior executive at mobile wallet and payment network Isis has announced the company will miss their planned summer launch date. Head of marketing Jaymee Johnson told FierceMobileContent that Isis is still fine-tuning their product and as such, it won’t be ready by September 21 – the first day of fall.
The joint venture between AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon to create a NFC network similar to Google Wallet began in November 2010. Salt Lake City and Austin will be the first two cities to support the platform and according to Johnson, there are hundreds of merchants in those cities ready to go.
We are now being told that Isis will have further information regarding their progress sometime in October. Johnson said there wasn’t one particular problem that delayed the launch but instead, they are simply working through a handful of small issues to ensure the best possible customer experience. The executive likened it to checking items off a punch list.
Isis has signed agreements with American Express, Chase, Capitol One and Barclaycard to conduct point-of-sale transactions at a number of different merchants. HTC, LG, Motorola, Research in Motion, Samsung and Sony have all confirmed they will be releasing products to support the platform.
Johnson didn’t specify if Isis would be ready for launch in October or not. Furthermore, it’s unclear how quickly the platform plans to expand past the two launch cities. With any luck we’ll know the answers to these questions next month.

This feature request is already on out nice-to-do list and if we see an increasing number of people asking for the same feature, the development team might probably implement it soon.
However, as for the moment they keep extremely busy doing urgent improvements to our platform and for that reason I cannot provide you with an estimated date when this could be implemented.

A friend recently asked about why people elevate the Bible to such a high place of respect. Why was it so important that millions of people use it as the basis of their faith? Why not take direction for life from a Shakespeare play or poems by Rumi? He said it just seems like an arbitrary decision. I thought it was a great question.

If you're going to move in with or marry your beau, the research suggests you should wait until age 23.
It will put the odds in your favor, according to a 2014 study by Arielle Kuperberg, a sociologist at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro.
From 11 years of responses in the US National
Surveys of Family Growth, Kuperberg gathered
marriage status data for over 7,000 married Americans — some who
later divorced, some who stayed
Age turned out to be a major predictor of divorce:
• People who cohabited or married at age 18 had a 60% divorce rate.
• People who cohabited or married at age 23 had about a 30% divorce rate.
That's a 50% reduction in divorce, thanks to just waiting five more years.
Not only that, but Kuperberger's research countered the commonly held belief that moving in together before wedlock was "bad" for a relationship.
"For so long, the link between cohabitation and divorce was one of these great mysteries in research," Kuperberg told the Atlantic . "What I found was that it was the age you settled down with someone, not whether you had a marriage license, that was the biggest indicator of a relationship's future success."
The hard truth here, backed up by the literature, is that people under 23 aren't mature enough to select the right partner.

Rachel Ramirez clanged her cage and crouched low, stick in hand and ready to pounce.
Time and time again Wednesday, the Lindenhurst goalie was an assailed target, but to the casual observer, she was the predator. Ramirez made 13 saves -- seven from that coiled position she uses on free-position attempts -- as the Bulldogs turned aside Floyd, 9-6, to remain undefeated in League I lacrosse.
"I bang the cage for positioning, to know that I'm in between the posts,'' Ramirez said. "And I crouch down because I'm very tall [about 5-10], and it allows me to get the low ones and pop up to get the high ones.''
Lindenhurst (4-0) took a 3-1 halftime lead on back-to-back opening goals by Trisha Serras and a Rachel Gumowski tally on a feed from Rebecca Conway with 38 seconds left. Although Floyd (1-3) drew to within two on Courtney Murphy's goal with 22:47 to play, Ramirez made two big saves in the next four minutes -- one off her leg on a free-position attempt and a point-blank stop on a shot a few feet in front of her -- to preserve the lead.
"Rachel always comes up big for us,'' coach Paul DiGiulio said. "She makes a lot of critical saves. She really did a good job for us with the free-position shots today, and I think that made a big difference.''
Cooper Sesselman's bending, overhand blast sneaked into the right corner for a 5-2 Lindenhurst advantage with 17:51 left. She scored again four minutes later and led the Bulldogs with three goals and one assist.
"We were definitely all working together on transition,'' Sesselman said. "We were really preparing ourselves for this game. We knew we had to win it and we definitely pumped each other up.''
The preparation had a lot to do with Murphy, Floyd's do-it-all midfielder and leading goal-scorer. The Stony Brook commit earned faceguard honors, drawing strong defense from Ashley Claud, but still put in three goals. More than anything, "we were trying to keep the ball out of her stick,'' Ramirez said.
The eager defense let to plenty of penalties, and plenty of chances for Ramirez to shine: bouncers, blasts and a falling stop and a scrambling reach on a ball behind her (that last one caused even the sideline to erupt in incredulous laughter).
"She's all over,'' Sesselman said. "You can really count on her. She's really amazing.''

At that time – as it is today – there were many different specialties in the practice of medicine talking about how effectively chronic muscle and joint pain can be managed. But no one talked about how chronic muscle and joint pain could be eliminated.
At that time it was believed – as it is by many today – that chronic muscle and joint pain is such a complex a problem that it’s impossible to eliminate it; hence the preoccupation with pain management.
My biggest hurdle has been getting the medical profession to understand that because of my discovery of the common cause of chronic pain and the therapy I developed that effectively treats it, pain elimination is a reality.
Why Is The Medical Community So Resistant To Pain Elimination?
Obviously change does not come about quickly, especially in the medical community. That being said – for reasons beyond my understanding – the more I talk about, the more I publish, the more I present statistical data proving how effective Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy is in eliminating chronic muscle and joint pain, the more resistance I encounter in the medical arena.
My work is so effective in eliminating chronic pain and I am so confident in the validity of my research and work, that many times over many years, I’ve asked research teams to run clinical studies that would conclusively prove or disprove my work. But instead of taking me up on my offer, all I receive are comments stating that what I claim is impossible.
How does one make sense out of this?
When a solution is offered which resolves one of the most horrific pandemic problems today – chronic muscle and joint pain – one would think that a proposed intervention, which truly works, would garnish a great deal of interest. At least as much interest as when a new drug is engineered to chemically control chronic pain.
The only answer I can come up with revolves around economics.
When it comes to doing medical research or studies on any type of medical intervention, the US government and medical community provide very little funding and the private sector offers little to nothing.
Nowadays, most medical studies are done by Big Pharma. Possibly it’s just not viable for them to provide the funds necessary to investigate a holistic, noninvasive intervention that eliminates chronic pain and does not revolve around the billion dollar-a-year practice of dispensing of patented pain drugs. Certainly this is a sad commentary and one I hope is not true.
How can you, the chronic pain sufferer, help change the medical community’s resistance to pain elimination? A good place to start is by demanding that your doctor(s) take a look at the research done and the publications on the Rothbarts Foot and PreClinical Clubfoot Deformity and on Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy – the only therapy that permanently eliminates chronic pain.
Another thing you can do is share this post on Twitter and Facebook, spreading the good news that people don’t have to suffer a lifetime filled with chronic pain. It can be eliminated!
Reading the Curing Chronic Pain website will give you more information about the abnormal foot structures Professor/Dr. Rothbart discovered that cause many forms of chronic muscle and joint pain and help you determine whether an Initial Phone Consultation with him might be helpful.
For a more complete explanation of the Rothbarts Foot and PreClinical Clubfoot Deformity, read: Abnormal Foot Structures That Cause Chronic Pain.
As you learn more about Professor/Dr. Rothbart’s innovative therapy, you may find that addressing and effectively treating your foot structure may be the missing link to ending your long time battle with unrelenting muscle and joint pain.

The behind-the-scenes aspect of almost any job is surprising, and that of a working, professional artist is no exception. So much goes on that has little if anything to do with making art. Maintaining a studio, tracking inventory and expenses, photographing work, keeping up a website, engaging with social media, answering email, staying in touch with galleries, and handling countless other details of art practice—all of these tasks are time-consuming, and each requires its own skillset. Most artists do all of this on their own without assistance, learning as they go, and over time they find what works for them. Today we look at the frustrations and rewards for artists as they constantly change out their many hats.
Considering the range of tasks we deal with as artists, it's natural that most of us are deficient in some areas, whether those are record-keeping, organizing, being active on social media, creating a website, consistent gallery correspondence or other tasks. While it may appear that other artists are on top of every aspect of their practice, few conquer all tasks and at the same time make good art without having help.
To be realistic we need to let go of perfectionistic tendencies and accept a standard of "good enough" for some of the demands on our time. We can also delegate tasks to others if they can be outsourced, although many cannot. Sometimes we do have to face things that need to be done by ourselves, but with which we have no experience or background. In those times, a positive attitude about learning new things is helpful. You may surprise yourself with newfound abilities --for example being able to handle new technologies or teach your first workshop. Asking for advice from a friend with experience is a good first step when faced with a new situation that requires action.
As artists our main role is to make art, and that is the most important hat to wear, always. The rest of the demands on our time that support our art practice need to be dealt with as best we can. When feeling overwhelmed by tasks and things to do, a good way to shift out of stress is to go and do your art, even for a little while. It will remind you of what you love about the life of an artist. The rest of it is simply what needs to be done to support this opportunity.

The Mexican Cultural Institute of Los Angeles was established in 1990 with the primary goal of fostering and enhancing, through cultural exchange, the understanding and communication between the peoples of Mexican and the United States. Our focus is on Los Angeles, a city with more people of Mexican descencent than any other in the world except Mexico City.
The Institute is truly a binational organization with distinguished individuals on its Board of Directors from both Mexico and the United States, from the private sector and from government. The Institute is a duly chartered California non-profit corporation with federal tax-exempt status. In addition to several prominent Mexican-Americans, the board includes the Consul General of Mexico in Los Angeles, a representative from the Mexican Foreign Ministry and the Governors of several Mexican States which have large numbers of former residents now living in California.
The goals of our Mission are accomplished through ongoing social and cultural exchanges and through showcasing artists from Mexico and the United States whose work crosses the cultural divide between them or whose talents and achievements exemplify and honor Mexican or Mexican-American cultural traditions. Another principal path toward better North-South understanding is through programs of educational exchange, many of which have already been successfully implemented by the Institute. In addition, the Institute supports a program of sports and community activities in the Los Angeles area.
We wish to be a catalyst for building bridges between ethnic groups in our part of the country and those people from Mexico who have a direct and special interest in what is happening in Southern California. Finally, we are especially interested in strenghthening the bonds between U.S. born Mexican-Americans and immigrants from Mexico, and beyond that, promoting greater understanding and communication between them and the rest of the population of Southern California.

Read up on to glean some new organic ideas in the following article.
Your children can help you with your organic gardening endeavors. A garden can be a great learning experience for your children, and will give you an opportunity to bond with them while you produce healthy food.
Plant strawberries for your children in the organic garden.Children will be more willing to eat other foods you’ve planted as well.
The ambient temperate of a room with live plants should be kept between 65-75 degrees throughout the daylight hours. The temperature in order to effectively grow. If you think it would not be comfortable to keep your residence that warm in the winter, you could always get the organic plants a heat lamp.
Keep your gardening tools handy to work more efficiently.
Make sure you work in your garden.Don’t waste your time looking all over for missing tools. Prepare all the tools you need before you go out to work on your garden, and then put them away neatly when finished.Get a tool belt if you need to, or wear pants with many pockets.
Try not to let the chores associated to your garden at least a short time each day. Even if you are too busy to tend to your gardens needs every day, you can do little things to help so that there is not a huge amount of work to be done when you are ready to get back to it. If you are outside with your dog, try to remove weeds when your pet is doing his business.
Use an aged laundry basket when you want to collect your vegetables and fruits. The basket will make a colander for your produce.
When maintaining your organic garden, try ruffling seedlings using your hands or cardboard one or two times daily. While it seems a little odd, research has shown that this method can increase the size of your plants.
Fill the jar up with beer within one inch of the top. Slugs will be attracted to the beer and won’t be able to exit the jar.
You may be able to skip watering for an entire day if rain is on the way.
Gardening is a good way to connect with nature, but organic gardening is especially good at this.
By changing up varieties and locations, you will be able to ward off disease and fungus naturally.
The garlic is ready to be picked when the green tops start drying out and turning brown.
When you are buying seedlings for tomatoes, keep an eye on lush green starts with root systems that are bad. The reason is because these particular starts will stay on the seedlings for weeks, crippling their growth until the starts are gone.
Research the local botanical insecticides which can help keep any pest population down. Natural insecticides are often more powerful than synthetic pesticides. However, botanical insecticides may not last as long because of their biological makeups, they often decay and disappear quickly.
You can simply make a new garden for perennials in just a few steps. Simply use a spade to cut underneath your turf, flip it over and cover with wood chips. Wait a few weeks and then plant your perennials in the brand new bed.
You must be sure to mulch to your garden and flowerbed with about three inches of organic material. This affects your garden in a variety of ways, including enriching the soil, inhibiting the growth of unsightly weeds, and improving the overall appearance of the garden.
Try planting your organic garden a shade garden. You will be happy to learn that gardens of this type are very low maintenance. They don’t require as much watering, which makes them less labor-intensive. They grow slowly too, but you have less weeds to get rid of.
When getting ready to plant a tree or a shrub in your organic garden, make the hole super ugly-looking. If the sides of the hole show glaze which was caused by the shovel, the roots will not be able to penetrate the soil properly.
The more you know about organic gardening, the easier your gardening will be. Keep in mind that the tips you have read are just the beginning point.

The Nemean Lion is our symbol because it was the first of my 12 Labors which make sit our logo.
I've chosen a gym/sports shop for my business because I'm a very strong demigod( god to be) and want my many children who aren't dead to become strong like me.
I also believe that if you come to my gym you will be able to overthrow Cerberus like I do. Also you can gain an awesome beach bod, ladies love muscle guys.
We believe here at Hercules Dumbbells and more you can look like this if you want to.

Paleo Pumpkin "Pasta" with Sausage & Mushrooms
- 1 lb bulk mild (or sweet) Italian sausage
- 1 T olive oil
- 4 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 4 ounces white mushrooms, sliced (use any mushroom combination you want!)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- salt & pepper
- 1/4 c dry white wine or sherry (OPTIONAL if you are avoiding alcohol)
- 1 c chicken broth
- 1 c canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 c almond milk
- pinch of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 t nutmeg
- 1/2 spaghetti squash (make the whole thing and freeze 1/2 of the "spaghetti" for future use)
- sprinkle dried or fresh chives as garnish
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees to roast the squash. Slice the squash in half length-wise and scoop out the seeds and goopy stuff from the middle. Place squash halves on a baking sheet/pan flesh side up and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 45 min to an hour, until the flesh is softened.
Heat a large, deep skillet over medium high heat and brown the sausage in it. Once it is all broken apart and cooked (no pink), transfer it to a plate. There should be a little fat left in the skillet. Return pan to the stove and add the olive oil. Toss in the garlic, onions and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Saute 3 to 5 minutes until the onions are tender and mushrooms are browned.
Deglaze the pan with the wine/sherry (or chicken broth if you aren't using alcohol). Add chicken stock and heat for one minute until it starts to bubble. Stir in pumpkin and incorporate - it will be thick. Return sausage to pan, reduce heat to low, and stir in almond milk. Season the sauce with the cinnamon and nutmeg, and salt and pepper, to taste. Simmer mixture 5 to 10 minutes to thicken sauce.
When the squash is done roasting, take it out of the oven and use forks to scrape away the flesh. This will create spaghetti-like strands. Get as much from the squash half as you can and add it to the sauce mixture. Stir it all around and it is ready to serve! Serve it up on a plate and garnish with chives. If you were eating dairy, this would be a great time to add some Parmesan...
Other than roasting the squash, this meal takes only about 30 minutes of actual prep time. It has a TON of different flavors that work really well together, and it is not something you would usually think to make! I love Rachael Ray recipes, but they are typically grain and cheese heavy, so I am hoping to try to Paleo-ize more of her meals at some point. Hope you enjoy this!

Bathrooms are fast becoming a place of freeform elegance and minimalistic design. You don’t want to be distracted by clutter when you’re trying to relax, and everything in your bathroom should be designed in a way that makes your comfort and enjoyment a top priority. Do away with the door and you can walk in and out of your shower enclosures as you please, all without the hassle of fiddling with shower doors when you just want to have a wash. The look of a doorless walk in shower may be simple, but the aesthetic impact they have on a bathroom is striking. Plus, a lack of moving parts means they’re simple to keep clean too, ensuring that it always remains as good as new.

MPrime: efficient large scale multiple primer and oligonucleotide design for customized gene microarrays
1 Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science, Speed School of Engineering, University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky, USA
2 Department of Anatomical Sciences and Neurobiology, University of Louisville School of Medicine, Louisville, Kentucky, USA

BMC Bioinformatics 2005, 6:175 doi:10.1186/1471-2105-6-175Published: 13 July 2005
Enhancements in sequencing technology have recently yielded assemblies of large genomes including rat, mouse, human, fruit fly, and zebrafish. The availability of large-scale genomic and genic sequence data coupled with advances in microarray technology have made it possible to study the expression of large numbers of sequence products under several different conditions in days where traditional molecular biology techniques might have taken months, or even years. Therefore, to efficiently study a number of gene products associated with a disease, pathway, or other biological process, it is necessary to be able to design primer pairs or oligonucleotides en masse rather than using a time consuming and laborious gene-by-gene method.
We have developed an integrated system, MPrime, in order to efficiently calculate primer pairs or specific oligonucleotides for multiple genic regions based on a keyword, gene name, accession number, or sequence fasta format within the rat, mouse, human, fruit fly, and zebrafish genomes. A set of products created for mouse housekeeping genes from MPrime-designed primer pairs has been validated using both PCR-amplification and DNA sequencing.
These results indicate MPrime accurately incorporates standard PCR primer design characteristics to produce high scoring primer pairs for genes of interest. In addition, sequence similarity for a set of oligonucleotides constructed for the same set of genes indicates high specificity in oligo design.

Ironies Of Love
This Dairy Queen ice cream cake didn't stand a chance once it arrived home from the drive through! I had hoped to get back to my blog much sooner than this, but circumstances have prevailed concerning love stuff. At the present time we have a young lady sleeping on our couch that is going through her second divorce. In the midst of yesterday we sat down with a couple for an hour and a half to do the first of what will amount to several get-togethers prior to their wedding on April 26. This is the beginning of "wedding fever" season. For some reason it always begins right after Valentine's Day. There are folks who plan these things well ahead of the appointed time and then there are the ones who just get that inescapable urge and it must be satisfied. I suppose my take on this would have to lean very hard on the circumstances surrounding the union. If a couple has been together for a number of years and they share several children which they, as a couple, produced, it is a good thing to consider getting all of the last names in the house to match. I know that may sound a bit "old fashioned" in light of the era we live in, but it is true out here on the Great American Desert that kids have a much easier time in the public school system if they have a family unit that is dependable as the day is long. All too often we deal with the difficulties a single mom or dad have raising children those 12 years of education. Children and young adults can be extremely cruel. Anything that is "different" about folks we seem to have the propensity in our early years to point out with hurtful indifference. Perhaps there might be an explanation in there that could explain(not rationalize)the episodes of peer killings we have seen this past decade. Violence has become the means to an end that may have started with the earliest of experiences on playgrounds.
One of my eldest daughters(the "twins" is what we started out referring to them as)used to state unequivocally that she wanted most of all to be "Different", like everybody else. I thought it funny at the time because the kids were wearing colors that made me gag, not to mention mismatched socks were the "in" thing. There is a point in there. The values of my generation have been thrown, for the most part, out the window, but the cultural mores are the same when it comes to "peer groups." I'm watching this first hand with grands, now. They want to dress the way everyone else does so that they do not stand out. They often choose to be a part of some activity not because it is what they want, but because it is the place to be, thing to do, way to act, etc. When we had the second set of twins(boy & girl)23 years ago we stopped referring to the older set as the "twins" and never did put that one back into the family vocabulary. Each one of them is as different as the day is long, and I'm thankful for that. PKs have always had a tough time growing up. Mine were no different, but they all made it and so did I. The question is, What is happening with people that causes them to go off on their peer group and slay them in bunches? I'm certain there are many in the fields of psychiatry and sociology attempting to figure this one out every day. Is there an answer? Personally I believe it all has to do with the "love factor." Somewhere along the line these folks didn't connect with love the same way most of us do. I think that is another reason why we so desperately need God in each of our lives. That one that will love us without reservation. That one who will always be there for us. That ONE Creator with so much love for humankind that He gave His only begotten Son so that each of us might walk in the light and delight in creation. Love, it's not a simple thing. God bless, Preacher.

Finished two more books for my project. This took a bit longer because Revolution was HUGE. Cinder is no lightweight either. Also added three more books on hold and read some other related books for fun.
A documentary about a sushi chef so masterful, Japan considers him a living national treasure. He is the oldest chef to receive 3 Michelin stars, which means, “a restaurant so amazing, it’s worth traveling to the country just for that restaurant and nothing else.”

Auto-enrolment provides £2,400 pension pot boost
Beckett Frith, October 17, 2017
Auto-enrolment was introduced by the government in October 2012
Auto-enrolment has provided a £2,400 boost to the nation’s pension pots five years after it was introduced, according to research from Aegon.
Aegon has calculated the estimated pension pot of an average income earner (£26,500 p/a) who started saving in October 2012. The research estimates that the average UK worker, making minimum contributions from October 2012, would now have a fund of £2,440.
As minimum contribution levels rise to 5% in April 2018, and then 8% in April 2019, the same individual would build up a fund of £11,430 by 2022, assuming a 4.25% investment growth.
Kate Smith, head of pensions at Aegon, said the results were positive. “Five years on, it is hugely encouraging to see that auto-enrolment is having the desired effect, improving the financial preparedness of workers right across the UK,” she said. “However, it’s important people don’t become complacent and think that they’re home and dry by simply paying the minimum contributions.
“Clearly, having some savings is better than having none, so those that have contributed 2% of ‘band earnings’ over the last few years are on the right track. But contribution levels do need to increase significantly if people are going to have enough to carry them through retirement comfortably.”
Smith added that people need to think very carefully before deciding to give up on pension savings and lose their employer’s contribution. “People in the UK are living longer, and social care costs are now falling at the feet of more and more retirees,” she said. “It’s essential that people plan for these sorts of eventualities, and as these figures show, just contributing a little bit more really pays off in the long run.”
Auto-enrolment was introduced by the government in October 2012 to reverse a decline in the number of pension savers. As soon as someone meets the eligibility conditions, they are automatically enrolled into a workplace pension and start saving a proportion of their salary, as well as receiving an employer contribution.

This Re-manufactured Distributor, Part No.3301, is a precision built and thoroughly tested unit. It provides reliable Dual Ignition for Corvair flight engines. There is a summary of my early years of flight testing Corvair ignition systems in the June 2003 issue of Kit Planes magazine. This is a good illustration of how long I have been making flight ignitions. Over 90% of the flying Corvair engines in the world use a Distributor made in my shop.
The E/P Distributor represents the ultimate evolution of my work on these systems. It combines a very rugged electronic ignition and a points system under the same cap. the engine will make full power running on either ignition. I made the first one of these systems in 2006, and have since produced hundreds of them. They are effective enough that most people flying on my previous dual points distributors have since upgraded to an E/P distributor.
REQUIRES YOUR CORE DISTRIBUTOR
Please be advised that the success of this system has occasionally produced copies from other sources. They don’t have the same track record, and I will not knowingly assist any builder who is using such a system.

Even if you dive in Perhentian Islands, plan 1 day for the snorkeling tour. You won't see the same as with scuba diving. we are offering snorkeling tours and all place do pretty much the same tour. starting from Coral Bay, boat is usually less crowded than the ones from Long Beach.
Usually starts around 10am from amelia's cafe and stops at:
* Turtle Bay - big turtles
* Shark Point - small sharks
* Coral Garden - plenty of colourful small fishes
* Lighthouse - lots of corals and Nemo
* Romantic Beach
You will also stop at the fishing village to have lunch.

As job developers, when you deal with ex-offenders it’s important to assess them using a strength-based process rather than beginning with the many barriers they face. Or so says Larry Robbin, a nationally known expert in the area of workforce development, who offered this and many other pieces of advice to a crowd of more than 125 people from six San Francisco Bay Area counties at a July 11 workshop sponsored by the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development.
“You need to engage this population very quickly and deeply,” Robbin says. “The opening conversations with people are usually a lot about their problems. You should start with their strengths and then get to those other issues.”
To get them to think in a positive manner, ask them:
- What do people compliment you about? When you find out what others appreciate about your ex-offender client, you can get an idea of what their strengths are and what makes them appealing to others.
- What jobs would you be good at? This question lets them make their own self assessment and will show you what they feel they would be comfortable doing.
- What are you doing when you lose track of time? Asking this question is a way to find out what they’re passionate about.
- What can you teach someone else to do? This will tell you the skills they know really well.
- What did you want to be when you were a little kid? Some people never give up on their childhood dreams.
Once you ask these and any other similar questions you come up with, you’re ready to take the knowledge you’ve gained and apply it to building up your ex-offender client’s self esteem.
Use the information the person gives you to paint a picture of them working. Do everything you can to help them see themselves in a job and a career.
Tell success stories of how people who were in reentry were able to find work. Use examples of other clients you’ve worked with, and if possible get those who found employment to call your current client and talk to them and tell them stories of how they did it.
At the same time you are encouraging the ex-offender to imagine that they are working, you also need to deal with the many barriers they face. This will take patience and time, so prioritize the barriers. Decide what has to be worked on first to get the person closer to employment. Don’t try to do too much with too many barriers all at the same time. Attack them one by one, and when you’ve successfully dealt with one of the barriers, move on to the next. You can keep a list for your own reference, but introduce them gradually to your client. Otherwise they might feel overwhelmed and give up.
It won’t be an easy process for you or your client, but using this strength-based assessment process, if done properly, is sure to provide positive results.

The former owner of the Kansas City Knights professional basketball team was sentenced Monday to four years and three months in prison for tax evasion and bank fraud.
James Clark, 53, of Overland Park, was also ordered to pay more than $1.3 million in restitution, according to Barry Grissom, U.S. attorney for Kansas.
Clark was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan., where he pleaded guilty to the charges earlier this year.
Federal prosecutors said Clark withheld payroll taxes from employees of his Swish Holding Corp. but failed to pay more than $500,000 in taxes to the Internal Revenue Service.
The bank fraud charge stemmed from false information that Clark submitted to UMB Bank when he applied for a line of credit.
Clark will be allowed to surrender himself to federal prison authorities at a later date.
His attorney, Kevin Dellett, said Clark has cooperated with the government throughout its investigation and chose not to contest the 51-month sentence suggested by guidelines.
“He is truly remorseful for his conduct and hopes his case serves as a lesson to his family and others,” Dellett said in a written statement. “Mr. Clark is relieved to know his fate and to now be able to spend another six weeks with his family before surrendering.”

Low-Cost Carrier Air Berlin Is Desperately Trying to Find a New Niche
Air Berlin joined One World in March 2012, and with that no more a LCC.
While AB is a Oneworld member they still lack some basic full member features (at least what I'd consider to be a legacy airline feature). Over the last year they improved tremendously e.g. by allowing OW Emerald members access to their 'executive waiting rooms' (not lounges ;-)) without the need to talk to somebody. Some benefits are not well-communicated (e.g. free 'champagne' on short-haul flights for Emeralds).
Two of the main concerns for me are the lack of a intra-European business class (customers seem to expect it, even if it's a Lufthansa-style European business) as well as the lack of shower facilities/lounges. I've seen numerous customers on TATL C flights (mostly AA) connecting to AB in Europe (e.g. FRA) asking for a shower/lounge/... and then being disappointed that even though they booked business they end up in Y.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY BY HOLIDAY MATHIS FOR RELEASE: SUNDAY, JANUARY 13, 2013 Aquarius Dawning
At the end of the week, Mercury enters Aquarius chased by the Sun. Even more so than last year's holiday season, this is a time of giving. The needs of humanity are not mysterious. Because it's so easy to see how to help, help is freely given. Venus angles Saturn and then Pluto to blow off the limits of love.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're starting to see that there is no fast way to get there or mysterious process you need to go through. You are willing to work for what you want and so you'll eventually have it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You go respectfully into different territory, realizing that the scene was set long before you arrived on it and that it will probably go on long after you leave too.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Managing what you own isn't easy. One Gemini said, "A man builds a fine house; and now he has a master, and a task for life; he is to furnish, watch, show it, and keep it in repair the rest of his days." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Considering that those who do the opposite of what they believe find it extremely difficult to be happy, or even restful, one way to be happy is simply to do what you believe.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You wish that you could control your thinking, but to some extent it's too much to ask of yourself right now. The best you can do is be aware of the thoughts drifting through and single out the pleasant ones for further examination.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Just as soon as you think you're certain about something, another possibility will emerge to challenge that certainty. So stay open, trusting that you'll manage whatever comes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You've recently set some ambitious goals. Today you'll be in just the clearheaded mood to organize your efforts, prioritize your responsibilities and make a plan.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In some religions, the lotus flower is a simple of non-attachment to the material world. Focusing on this symbol will help you rise above the issue that's been bothering you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If the walls of your kitchen could talk, what would they say? The secrets they know about your eating patterns are a window into how well you're taking care of yourself these days.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Youth is a gift. Immaturity is a choice. A bit of silly fun will be the perfect remedy for a relationship teetering on dullness. Your charm is amplified by the element of surprise.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). While some chase after fame and fortune, you're not so sure you want to be noticed for all you do. There's something to be said for wanting to learn in private and make your mistakes quietly.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Creating is easy for you, but maintaining all of those creations is a lot trickier. You'll love the challenge of it now. There's much to order, store, give and throw away.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 13). Not only do you get what you need this year, but you attain it with style. In February, community groups bring business contacts and feed romance. You may disagree with loved ones in March, but your love is unconditional. Your open mind allows for many moments of deep feeling and beauty. Aries and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 39, 1, 2 and 24
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The song in the musical Hair made the Age of Aquarius seem like a time of dancing and tie dye, but in reality humans helping one another -- which is at the root of the Aquarian concept -- comes in a far more technical package these days. We live in an age when social networking can be used to organize political movements and microscopic robots have been known to make repairs on a cellular level. More advances along these lines are being worked on somewhere in the world in the days to come. Mercury moves into Aquarius, the sign of the future, humanity, philanthropy and technical advances, at the end of the week. The Sun is close behind.
Also a star player this week is Venus, though she has a funny way of showing it. As she angles Saturn and later Pluto, the changes the fulcrum of romantic relationships. The balance of power may be temporarily upset, and that's a good thing. It shows us how much we lean on our loved ones and makes us question the appropriateness of those leanings. Would your life be better if you were more self-sufficient? As one old spiritual suggested, "God bless the child that got his own."
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Whether he's playing an Elf warrior or Caribbean Pirate, Orlando Bloom knows how to wield a weapon with grace. His Sun, Mercury and Mars in Capricorn lend a self-assured earthiness to his characterizations regardless of which fantasy world they come from. Saturn (the planet of lessons) in Leo (the realm of show business) suggests that Bloom learns best about life through his acting work.

Time to vacuum out the ol' family truckster, load up the suitcases and pack the cooler – tomorrow we're hitting America's freeways and making our way to a family gathering at Lake Tahoe, California.
It will take us two full days of driving to get to Tahoe. We'll leave Missoula tomorrow around noon and head south on Hwy 93 through Idaho, through the top half of Nevada, then cut over to Cali. The girls are already dreading the long ride. Little do they know that thirty years from now they'll laugh and reminisce together about family roadtrips. It's a rite of passage I wouldn't dare deny them.
Besides, my kids don't know how good they've got it. Rear air conditioning vents, iPods, prepackaged snacks. In my day it was a steamy hell (pardon my french) in the back of our mini-van. As the oldest of six kids I was always in the way back. The air conditioning never even reached that area. You could cook a 20-pound turkey back there. I clung to my walkman (trying to keep those cheap headphones perched on my head) and dined on sweaty cheese sandwiches (you know how cheese gets when it's warm). As a matter of fact, that is one of my most vivid childhood memories – eating sweaty cheese sandwiches from a lukewarm cooler on family vacations. My parents (bless their hearts) in an effort to keep us healthy and grow our little bodies to the fullest potential, were part of the health food movement of the 1970s. We ate the grainiest of breads, with chunks of cheddar, or spread with oil-on-top peanut butter and a swath of honey (which soaked into the bread for a soggy/sticky effect). It was during one of those childhood trips that I said quietly to myself "my children will never know the warm, squishy taste of sweaty cheese." I think I've upheld that commitment mostly for my own sake though. The mere thought of those sandwiches makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit.
Here's some music to get you excited!

Hewlett-Packard Co. is introducing a new lineup of business desktop PCs designed to make it easier for customers to find and pick what they need.
Along with the introduction of the new product lines—the HP Compaq 2000, 5000 and 7000 series—the Palo Alto, Calif., company on Tuesday also rolled out the first two computers in the revamped lineup.
"We got feedback from customers that they would like a simple lineup and a wide range of products that were stable," said Vicki Ward, product marketing manager for North America for HPs Personal Systems Group. "[With the new lines], customers can quickly and easily look at a lineup and choose whats right for them."
Currently, HPs business desktops are found in the HP Compaq d200 and d300 series for SMB (small and midsize business) customers and the d500 series for enterprise users. The new product lineups include the 2000 series for basic systems, the 5000 for midrange users and the 7000 for more advanced needs, Ward said.
The first of the 7000 series will appear in late summer, she said.
The dx2000, the first in the 2000 series, has a microtower form factor that can come pre-configured. Alternatively, users can choose between using a Celeron chip or a Pentium 4 processor with HyperThreading technology from Intel Corp.
The Pentium chip can come with up to 3GHz, an 80GB hard drive and 1GB of memory. The desktop also can run Microsoft Corp.s Windows or MandrakeSoft SAs Mandrake Linux operating systems.
The dc5000 comes with a 12-month lifecycle and a software image that will be common with all systems across the 5000 line. It also comes with HPs Lifecycle Solutions manageability tools, which enable easier deployment into business networks.
The dc5000 comes in a microtower or small-form-factor configuration and also can be pre-configured or customized with Celeron or Pentium 4 chips. It also offers up to a 160GB hard drive and 4GB of memory. In addition, it has tool-less access to internal components for easier maintenance.
The 7000 series will offer added security features—such as TCPA support and remote hood sensors— management offerings, and a product lifecycle of 18 months.
Both the dx2000 and dc5000 are available now, with pricing starting at $389 and $599, respectively.

Freelancer.com offers a special feature called Milestone Payments to ensure that payments to projects are made securely within the site. Milestone Payments can be created by the employer for their awarded freelancer. This shows the employer’s willingness to pay the freelancer which, in turn, encourages the freelancer to do the job well.
Before they work on projects, freelancers can request to have a Milestone Payment created for them as assurance of payment. It is the employer who will decide on whether to create the requested Milestone Payment or not.
Once a Milestone Payment is created (funded), the money will not be transferred to the freelancer just yet. It will remain pending until the employer releases it. Employers are advised to only release the Milestone Payment if they are completely satisfied with the delivered work and all deliverables have been submitted and up-to-standard. When all tasks are satisfactory and the employer releases the Milestone Payment, it will be transferred to the freelancer's account balance on the site.
In cases wherein a pending Milestone Payment needs to be returned (created accidentally or duplicated), the freelancer can cancel it for the funds to be returned to the employer's account balance.
Note that only the employer can create a Milestone Payment and make the release. Conversely, only the freelancer can cancel and return the Milestone Payment.
For more details about Milestone Payments, please check here:
Aside from facilitating payments on the site, the Milestone Payment System also:
Offers protection for both users. Employers are recommended to release payments only if they’re happy with the submitted work while freelancers are assured in knowing that their payment is available and ready to be released.
Allows the use of our Dispute Resolution Service. If something goes wrong with a project, both the employer and freelancer can have access to our Dispute Resolution Service. This is, however, only available for projects with pending Milestone Payments.
Helps build freelancers' reputation. Both users will be able to leave feedback and ratings for each other if the project is completed and paid with Milestone Payments. Earning more positive reviews from completed projects will give freelancers more chances of being hired for other projects.
Provides better work results for employers. Setting up a Milestone Payment encourages freelancers to be productive by making them confident that they are going to be well-compensated for their hard work. Employers will then find more agreeable and committed freelancers, which means they can also get better results out of their projects.

I took a sneak trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico because my wanderlust ass needed to just to get the fuck out of dodge. And for my mental health. First and foremost travel with discretion. Wear a mask, social distance and most importantly if you have any medical issues to just make sure you are make the right healthy decision. FOMO may be a thing but YOLO hits differently.
I flew with Alaska Airlines in August. At that time, middle seats were unoccupied but the flight was technically full. I arrived to Los Cabos with a mask on the entire flight. Their customs line was pretty busy and long (I guess everyone was thinking the same thing I was thinking, get the fuck out of dodge). I timed it and it took about 90 mins, this without a checked bag. This was the first time I have been to Cabo so I don’t know if customs was longer because of COVID.
I didn’t rent a car since I wasn’t in the mood to explore or drive. Heads up though, car rental is hella cheap but they get you on the insurance. Mexico requires you to purchase some kind of car insurance. You can get car insurance with a AAA membership otherwise they offer the insurance at the rental office. In the end, the insurance covers the rental daily. I used a private car transportation with All Ways Cabo Transportation. They were super punctual and clean, the driver wore a mask the entire time.
Where I Stayed
I stayed at the Bahia Hotel and Beach House in Cabo San Lucas. It was reasonably priced for a 3 star boutique hotel probably because of COVID. (I am seeing a trend while writing this post). They had a temperature monitor, the staff was masked, hand sanitizers everywhere. The room was super clean, housekeeping via a text message to keep distance when to have the room clean. I got to Cabo the day after a huge tropical storm so the pool wasn’t open for two days. When the pool opened, I had it to myself the rest of the trip. The beach though… the beach was popping. The vendors were out, people were out.
Places to eat
I have this thing about all inclusive. I don’t do them. (Kanye shrug). I can get into it and have a debate with someone on all inclusive vs non. At the end of the day I like delicious food and I like top shelf alcohol. This will always be a thing for me. Show me an all inclusive that does those. And I will say you are right, I was wrong.
The restaurants were open in Cabo San Lucas, they did close early. Here is a list of places I went to go eat that were all within walking distance:
Tacos Gardenias: a hole in a wall taco joint. I love a hole in a wall, that usually means the food is the great and affordable. The food portion was huge for the price you pay. The ceviche was really good.
Sur: This is located on the beach and has a great view of arch. If you decide to stay at Bahia, they give priority to the hotel guest for beach chair reservations. They had a santization tent that you would go through prior to meeting the hostess. It was a cool place to grab some beer, some lunch and people watch or get harassed by the vendors.
La Lupita Taco: If you love tacos, this is the place to go. the tacos here were the bomb dot com. They had these grilled oysters that were amazeballs.
Chamuyo: This is a place for the steak potatoes peeps.
Tres Sirenas Cocina del Mar: Mexican cusine that have fresh catch of the day and live entertainment. One of the coolest thing about them is make fresh tortillas. So good.
The Office on the Beach: Super Touristy, Super busy but it is on the beach, the food was good for beach food.
Things to do
When I said I did not do a damn thing but got a tan and sat the fuck down. That is exactly what I did. If anyone knows me… this is huge for me just sit the fuck down. But if you want to make your vacation fun and exciting. Here are following things you can do:
Booze Cruise around the Arch
Snorkeling and Scuba Diving- I did hear they have manta rays but the water is hella cold. It is the Pacific.
It was a much needed get away trip. I spent a week there and didn’t spend too much on food and alcohol. I did feel safe and that everyone was doing their best to make sure everyone did not catch COVID. It was evident that tourism was not popping because of COVID. I do want to say the following: please travel with empathy, compassion, and patience. Empathy to treat everyone with dignity and respect. Compassion for others health, ethnicity, and culture. Patience for yourself for what you do not know you do not know. Patience for others who needs the patience to get their shit together. But have fun, relax, enjoy your time. Safely.
I do want to apologize that I did not take any pictures. It just wasn’t that type of trip. I am pretty sure I will do another Cabo trip soon. I did hear great things about the other side of Cabo from my driver. That trip will be totally different from this trip.

The wall controller included is designed to suit most Australian wall plates. An integrated light is also available (compatible with some E14 incandescent, halogen and some compact fluorescents, size permitting – globes not included).
The ECO2 ceiling fan comes with a 2 year warranty, plus a further 3 year warranty for motor parts.

I interpreted Johnny's writings as "seriously? being shouted at? Not
cool." versus "get away with saying that."
Why can't both sides be wrong?

Albany is the capital of the state of New York. It's a city. Oh, and HEY, what's that over there...it's New York City! Sorry, Albany.

I'm sure I would devote the whole Idaho entry to you if you were in that state.
Hey, don't look so sad. Come on, cheer up. At least you aren't Buffalo!

Okay, I’ve got a poli sci degree, I was a political reporter and I stay fairly up to date. But I evidently have grown or remain blindly (or perhaps happily) ignorant to much of politics.
For the first time in my 36 years as a registered voter, I voted Tuesday as a registered Republican. The reason was simple and certainly not nefarious or Machiavellian. For 24 years I’ve been lucky enough to practice law with Dave Knudson, who was seeking the Republican gubernatorial nomination. Although Dave left our firm at the end of last year to campaign full-time, he is undoubtedly one of the brightest and most astute people I’ve the pleasure to know. My personal experience working with Dave left no doubt about his ability to identify problems and find workable solutions, skills South Dakota desperately needs.
So although a lifelong registered Democrat, earlier this year I registered as a Republican to vote for him in the primary. Don’t be mistaken. Our politics are different and there are issues on which Dave and I disagree. Yet I have always known Dave to consider arguments from all sides. He investigates and considers issues before deciding. I realize many in the GOP may have considered Dave “too liberal.” Yet my still naive heart of hearts tells me we are in dire need of elected officials who base their decisions on considered evaluation, not playing to a particular constituency or the latest partisan bandwagon. Dave is one such person.
Even knowing little of state GOP politics, I figured Dennis Daugaard had the inside track. But to see the scope of his win and where Dave placed in the race seemed to prove that labels may still carry too much weight in political races. Or it could simply be that me voting for a candidate is a kiss of death. (I did not cast votes in the Congressional primary or the legislative races, only for candidates for two county offices I knew were imminently qualified for the position they were seeking — and one of them lost.)
I’ve known Scott Heidepriem longer than Dave. But despite that and the fact more of Scott’s views are probably closer to mine on many issues, I would have voted for Dave in the general election had he prevailed in the GOP primary. That’s how much respect I have for his talents and abilities. And while I don’t doubt that Dennis Daugaard is a good and qualified man, I believe the South Dakota GOP missed the boat yesterday.
There is silver lining for both me and the GOP. I am hopeful that once Dave has some deserved post-campaign R&R, I will again have the fortune of practicing law with him. And South Dakota Republicans need not worry about my name besmirching their rolls. My new change of registration goes out in today’s mail. And lest you think this was just a Democrat just having a bit of fun with the GOP, my disgust with the dominance of partisan politics in our country means I will now be a registered independent.
…there is a wide difference between the politician and the statesman. A politician … is a man who thinks of the next election; while the statesman thinks of the next generation.
James F. Clarke, “Wanted, a Statesman!”, Old and New, Vol. 2

The families of adults with autism in New Jersey are urging the state to take a more flexible approach to housing at a time when thousands of residents with developmental disabilities are on a waiting list for placement.
That flexibility is one of the goals of a bill (S-254) released on Monday by the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee.
The legislation would require the state to explore new ways to deliver services to adults with autism and other developmental disabilities
Autism advocates say the bill is a vital step toward averting a housing crisis. There are nearly 5,000 New Jersey residents with developmental disabilities on the priority waiting list, and the state is expected to see a surge in the number of adults with autism in the coming years.
According to Leslie Long, director of adult services for the national advocacy organization Autism Speaks, “There are going to be 500,000 individuals over the next decade that become adults with autism,” Long said of a national increase.
Long continued, “You’re going to have huge number of adults who are in need of housing supports.”
But New Jersey officials have expressed concern that the bill could endanger the state's Medicaid funding because federal regulators won’t approve the suggested housing alternatives.
Right now, autistic adults have one primary option: community-based housing in which they share a group home with residents who are intellectually disabled. But families are concerned that adults with autism receive an appropriate level of care geared to their specific needs.
The bill posits several alternatives, including three highlighted by supporters of the legislation. The first would allow a family to buy a house for an autistic adult. When the family gets to old to help care for that adult, the state would take over the house and the autistic adult would be able to continue living there.
The second approach would establish assisted-living facilities with individual apartments for autistic adults: 24/7 care would be provided by the state.
In the third approach, an adult with autism could live with a host family, not unlike a foster family.
Maria E. Fischer, whose 19-year-old daughter has autism, said parents are hesitant to help their children live on their own because they are concerned that the state won’t support this environment for their children in the future, moving them instead to a communal setting.
Fischer added that when adults with autism continue to live with their families, it "undermines the individual’s sense of independence and self esteem.”
While Fischer said families like hers could buy a home for their adult children, it is difficult to do so in the absence of an assurance from the state that it would provide services at that home when the services are needed in the future.
In Fischer's opinion, this option could save the state money because adults like her daughter may not need to rely on state services early on since their families could support them longer.
Other autism advocates point out that the state would financially benefit from having the families donate their houses to the state, an approach that isn’t allowed under current law.
“It’s time to fix the housing crisis for persons with developmental disabilities in New Jersey,” Fischer said.
Adam Strauss-Goldfarb, a 17-year-old whose 21-year-old brother has autism, said the state lacks choices for adults who have a constant need for services outside of group housing. He said that the state should explore public-private partnerships to fund assisted-living facilities.
Another potential residential option that advocates favor is for the state to fund host homes, in which adults with autism live with families other than their own.

I was very happy to learn about a MM for the week. To bad the two stores I visited didn't have the stock I needed to make that work out. The first store was out of anything that could be combined to even make the items free. I was kind of sad about this as I only arrived about one hour after the store opened!? This store usually has terrible stock for sale items. I don't understand why.
I did get my newspapers there and the free tube of toothpaste. I only got one, because I wasn't sure how many I could get. (I read somewhere it's three, but working for four?) Did you know you get a discount on Newspapers? I thought for sure something like that would be excluded. You better believe if I am off on Sunday Rite Aid is going to be the place to get my Sunday papers from now on. I only buy three or four, but every little bit helps and maybe next year I can reach the Gold level.
The second store at least had better stock, but not much left. Only one of the MM items were left. I paired it with something else to get them free, otherwise it was a loss. I'm not exactly sure but I still ended up with a slight MM. Typing up the transaction I see where I miscalculated. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that their truck will bring in loads of stock and maybe on Friday I can grab some more stuff. (Here's hoping.)

Josette Harris will seek redemption in Boulder before toeing the line at the world championship.
by Courtney Johnson
Josette Harris may have been born on Groundhog's Day—she turned 59 this year—but the Denver, Colorado neuropsychologist is hoping her second attempt at IRONMAN Boulder is nothing like the movie.
Sidelined from running six weeks prior to the 2016 edition of IRONMAN Boulder with a hamstring injury, Harris was not pleased with her first IRONMAN performance. "I could not run and it was pretty disheartening to go into my first IRONMAN not feeling at my best," she shared. Although she admits she couldn't feel her hamstring all day, the worst part of her race was that she had trouble keeping anything down. "I am pretty sure I hold the record for the most barfing on an IRONMAN course."
Harris, who is a mother of two grown daughters (Kali, 23, and Evin, 20) wasted no time signing up for IRONMAN Boulder in 2017, as soon as registration opened. She is looking for redemption from her 17-hour day and unofficial finish from last year. "I knew it had to be Boulder or it would not 'count'," she said.
The Boulder to Kona promotion was announced shortly after Harris registered, offering registered athletes the chance to win one of 10 spots to race in Kona. Two weeks before the winners were announced, Harris' friend mentioned the possibility to her, but it was no more than a fleeting thought. "Wouldn't that be something if you won a slot?" her friend had said. Harris reports that she responded with something like, "Yes, me, the least likely person to make it to Kona!'"
"I thought, 'I have to make everyone so proud and do my very best to be worthy of this magical gift!'"
Seven winners had been announced when Harris checked her email as she was preparing to head out on a New Year's Eve run. "I saw an email from a friend a Tribella with the subject line 'Kona.' I opened it up and was so confused as she congratulated me, and I was knocked off my feet. I could not believe it was real!"
Shaking from the tears, Harris immediately emailed her coach, Charley Perez. Harris told her two daughters and two close friends and training partners. Just to be sure, she also tracked down the Facebook Live post announcing the winner. "I felt so amazingly fortunate and knew immediately I had to accept. I thought, 'I have to make everyone so proud and do my very best to be worthy of this magical gift!'"
Harris' New Year's Eve run was the strangest training session she has ever had with her phone beeping non-stop from the massive amount of texts and emails she received as the word spread. "I called my good friend (and godmother) Dot Seymour in Kona to tell her the news. If you can believe this, I ran my very first race ever with her in Denver in my early 20's, and she inspired me to run my very first marathon."
The triathlon bug bit Harris purely by chance. "One Friday night I was searching on the internet out of curiosity about triathlon. I stumbled upon an event to be held the next morning 'Triathlon 101' at the local recreation center with local clubs, coaches, etc. So, I went to see what it was all about." She ended up winning a summer pass for swimming and a cycling kit. "I figured it was meant to be so I found a used aluminum bike (I had never road biked so did not own one), learned to swim, and there you have it."
She went on to completing more than 10 triathlons, including three half-distance events, and a few races with her daughters. Harris stepped up her training after last year's disappointing performance and she began working with a nutritionist to perfect her full-distance fueling plan—especially helpful for her trip to Hawai'i.
Training has become Harris' time for self-therapy, she uses the time to think about life and what she is grateful for. "I am grateful that I could do all the things that I do, and to appreciate the importance of setting priorities and not waiting for the perfect time because it is never the perfect time. You have to make it work if you really want something. You have to believe you can do it."
This mantra will no doubt help her immensely as she prepares to race from Boulder to Kona.

Splice of Life
This was made for the open round of the Newgrounds Annual Tournament of Animation. The theme was "discovery of time travel."
This is the first time I've participated in anything like this, so I ended up working like crazy in case I didn't finish in time. It turns out, after spending pretty much all my free time working and temporarily forgetting about having a social life, I got it done right on time. See, I'm actually leaving to go to Waterloo for the Skills Ontario 2D animation competition soon, where I will only have access to a computer while I'm working on my animation for that competition, so I wouldn't be able to work on my NATA entry. My entry is done now, though, so I no longer need to worry about that.
As for the theme, I didn't want to do a typical time travel story, so I interpreted the theme a little differently. I recalled that scene from Back to the Future 2 where Doc draws a graph showing multiple timelines for Marty. I took this idea where, rather than moving along the forwards/backwards axis (x), I would move along the timelines axis (y), or in the case of this video, squish them all together into one timeline using a package that was supposed to be delivered to the mad scientist next door. It's a stretch in terms of adherence to the theme, but I think it still works.
Anyway, it looks like NATA's going to be a blast this year. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone's entries!

The effect of power and publicity on all men is the aggravation of self, a sort of tumor that ends by killing the victim’s sympathies.
From the very beginning of a person’s life one learns that the purpose of life is not uninterrupted pleasure. Every infant suffers pains and illnesses. We should not perceive illness and pain as negative. Suffering teaches us humility. We learn that we do not have complete power over ourselves.
The price of power is responsibility for the public good.
He who is too much afraid of being duped has lost the power of being magnanimous.
Knowledge, love, power - there is the complete life.
If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgment of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgment now.
To live happily is an inward power of the soul.
No being can be spoken of as evil, in so far as it is being, but only so far as it lacks being. Thus a man is said to be evil because he lacks the being of virtue; and an eye is said to be evil because it lacks the power to see well.
The intellectual soul, because it can comprehend universals, has a power extending to the infinite; therefore it cannot be limited by nature either to certain fixed natural judgments, or to certain fixed means whether of defense or of clothing, as is the case with other animals, the souls of which have knowledge and power in regard to fixed particular things. Instead of all these, man has by nature his reason and his hands, which are the organs of organs, since by their means man can make for himself instruments of an infinite variety, and for any number of purposes.
The will to power, as the modern age from Hobbes to Nietzsche understood it, far from being a characteristic of the strong, is, like envy and greed, among the vices of the weak, and possibly even their most dangerous one. Power corrupts indeed when the weak band together in order to ruin the strong, but not before.
The regeneration of a sinner is an evidence of power in the highest sphere - moral nature; with the highest prerogative - to change nature; and operating to the highest result - not to create originally, which is great; but to create anew, which is greater.
A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and the most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and foreboding imaginations.
The reward of doing one duty is the power to do another.
Love has to spring spontaneously from within. It is no way amenable to any form of inner or outer force. Love and coercion can never go together; but though Love cannot be forced on anyone, It can be awakened in him through Love itself. Love is essentially self-communicative. Those who do not have It catch It from those who have It. True love is unconquerable and irresistible; and It goes on gathering power and spreading Itself, until eventually It transforms everyone whom It touches.
Unrequited love is the meaning of life. We’re here to love but not to be loved, to give but not receive. Our mission in this world is to improve humanity and leave a better history than we found. Only selfless love has such power. Only love without interest or expectation of reward can change human beings... To give love without receiving love is the truest love and brings the greatest happiness there is in life.
In every community there is a class of people profoundly dangerous to the rest. I don't mean the criminals. For them we have punitive sanctions. I mean the leaders. Invariably the most dangerous people seek the power. While in the parlors of indignation the right-thinking citizen brings his heart to a boil. In here, the human bosom -- mine, yours, everybody's -- there isn't just one soul. There's a lot of souls. But there are two main ones, the real soul and a pretender soul. Now! Every man realizes that he has to love something or somebody. He feels that he must go outward. 'If thou canst not love, what art thou?' Are you with me?
Dissimulation in youth is the forerunner of perfidy in old age; its first appearance is the fatal omen of growing depravity and future shame. It degrades parts and learning obscures the luster of every accomplishment and sinks us into contempt. The path of falsehood is a perplexing maze. After the first departure from sincerity, it is not in our power to stop; one artifice unavoidably leads on to another, till, as the intricacy of the labyrinth increases, we are left entangled in our snare.
Man cannot live by bread alone. The making of money, the accumulation of material power, is not all there is to living. Life is something more than these, and the man who misses this truth misses the greatest joy and satisfaction that can come into his life - service for others.
Regret for time wasted can become a power for good in the time that remains.
None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free.
