Irvin D. Yalom has made a career of investigating the lives of others. In this profound memoir, he turns his writing and his therapeutic eye on himself. He opens his story with a nightmare: He is twelve, and is riding his bike past the home of an acne-scarred girl. Like every morning, he calls out, hoping to befriend her, "Hello Measles!" But in his dream, the girl's father makes Yalom understand that his daily greeting had hurt her. For Yalom, this was the birth of empathy; he would not forget the lesson. As Becoming Myself unfolds, we see the birth of the insightful thinker whose books have been a beacon to so many. This is not simply a man's life story, Yalom's reflections on his life and development are an invitation for us to reflect on the origins of our own selves and the meanings of our lives.
"Fans of this eloquent and introspective author will welcome this innermost chronicle of his history, passions, and the keys to unlocking a fruitful life."
"Becoming Myself offers a rich exploration of some of the author's favorite themes with a rare honestly, openness and generosity. "

Just a reminder to our followers -- Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley will make their closing arguments tonight, one week before the February 1st Iowa Caucus.
Unlike a debate, a "Town Hall" is an informal public meeting and open to the participation of the community.
For tonight's event, each candidate will be allotted 30 minutes and no candidate will be on stage at the same time. CNN's Chris Cuomo will moderate questions from members of the audience.
Convention Central: Platform Committee Announced!
Republicans currently control the US House of Representatives – 247 seats to the Democrats’ 186 (two vacancies in Pennsylvania 2nd CD and Hawaii 1st CD).
How good is your political acumen when it comes to predicting this election? For all the political junkies out there, you can now actually test your prowess (and make $$ in the process)!

For many people, the holiday season means catching a performance of “The Nutcracker” or “The Christmas Carol.” However, The beautiful, lush Ariel-Ann Carson Dater Performing Arts Centre, 428 Second Ave., in Gallipolis provides locals with some alternatives to the old Christmas standbys. The 100-year plus historic gem, a Victorian opera-house, is one of many pieces of history in Gallipolis. The Centre also boasts the only Southeastern Ohio professional orchestra—The Ohio Valley Symphony.
Several Christmas performances will be offered including a holiday show by the Symphony, a sing-along with Mr. and Mrs. Claus and a musical Nativity performance. Fans on Blue Collar Comedy, should check out “The Rednecks Un-Do Christmas", December 19 at 3 PM and 8 PM, and December 20 at 3 PM. Executive Director Joseph Wright called the show funny and full of spirit.
Life after the holidays also exists for the Centre. The Odd Couple, performed with women instead of men, will show Feb. 5 to 7. This show is for anyone who ever had a roommate—however, this version offers a twist as classic characters are played by women instead of men. Another prominent show, the zany Seussical, will premiere March 5. You can expect intricate costumes, rhyming and for your favorite characters to come to life at this Seuss-themed extravaganza.
The theatre also offers community involvement for everyone. Acting classes are offered and the Athens Junior Theatre offers children an outlet to express themselves. Classes like yoga and ballroom dancing is also offered at the Centre.
The Centre also has a “fashionista side.” It hosts events like The Bridal Expo on Jan. 30. and Brittany’s Prom and Formal Fashion Review on Jan. 24. With so much variety and beauty, stopping by the theatre for a show or just a look is highly recommended.
To learn more, visit http://www.arieltheatre.org/ or call (740) .446.2787.
Sorry to disappoint anyone, but the Ariel Theatre group has been suspended. The new season will not be performed.. Odd Couple, and Suesical and all the other performances have been canned.

Thesis, University of Heidelberg, 1998 (in German).
In this work, adaptive concepts for the numerical solution of the wave equation in inhomogeneous media are derived and applied to an example taken from the physics of the solar atmosphere. The main focus is on ways to estimate the error in the numerical solution with regard to arbitrary functionals, i.e. quantities of interest, and the use of these estimates for the generation of computational meshes best suited for the evaluation of this functional.
Advantages and difficulties of this method are presented. In particular, it is shown that the proposed approach is significantly better in many cases than previous adaptive schemes not taking into account the quantity of interest.Cases involving nonlinear functionals and in which the approach fails, are presented along with theoretical explanations and numerical evidence of the reasons for this.
The proposed methods are applied to a simple model from the physics of the solar atmosphere and the propagation of linear acoustic waves is computed. The fraction of the wave energy that passes the chromosphere-corona transition is computed to good accuracy.

I'm teaching through the book of Acts to a group of junior highers. I love it! Maybe too much.
Yesterday, I was having such fun with the class, I failed to be prudent about time. I glanced at the clock. I only had a few minutes left, but I couldn't speed myself up. Their eyes sparkled with interest. One kid even gasped when he figured something out. Their engagement prodded me to expound deeper and draw more out of them.
With no time left, I babbled out a conclusion and let them go, trusting God would use my feeble words for His glory and their good.
This happens with writing too, doesn't it? Sometimes I get so into my characters and plot, I get stuck "playing" with them. Lost in the ebb and flow of scenes, I imagine readers' responses and it provokes me to go deeper and draw more out of them. This is a good thing. It's a GREAT thing.
For one, writing isn't only about the end product--having a book on Amazon. The journey is so awesome too, isn't it? If excitement over my story pulses through me, I see it as a gift, a joy-filled, heavenly-Father gift. And I'm gonna enjoy it.
Second, when my students see me excited about God's Word (or any topic I'm teaching on), that enthusiasm sparks their own. Can't you tell when an author has enjoyed writing a book? Surely our passion shines through the pages and impacts readers.
That's why even though I knew I'd run out of time, I let myself enjoy the process, even if it meant the ending wouldn't be as great.
I sure wouldn't do that with a novel! Well, I would let myself relish the writing journey, but I can't really get away with a rushed, "babbled" ending. The conclusion’s one of the most important parts! It’s the last impression a reader will have. We need to nail it.
But another thing I was reminded of from this week’s Bible class was that God can work even through my imperfection. I didn’t nail the ending to my class, but the gospel was spoken, however imperfectly. This doesn’t mean it’s okay to get sloppy—no it doesn’t! But we can trust that even when we fail to follow all the writing rules, God can use our words. And when something good results from our imperfect attempts, we know beyond doubt it wasn’t our doing, but the Lord’s.
What a great joy it is to serve such a gracious Savior who takes our imperfect offerings and uses them for His glory—and gives us joy along the way.
“Nothing happens.” It’s been many years since I received that particular rejection, but I still recall my confusion. How could the editor say that nothing happened? I was writing short contemporary romances for the secular market at the time, and I thought I’d done everything right. The book was set in an exotic location and was laced with fascinating (at least to me) details of life in a place most of us only dream about seeing. My hero and heroine met, they fell in love, and after resolving a few misunderstandings, they lived happily ever after. What could be wrong? And why did the editor say that nothing happened?
When I recovered from the sting of rejection, I realized that the editor was right, although I still thought she was wrong in saying that nothing happened. What she should have said was that nothing interesting happened. I had written a story of a close-to-perfect romance, and while readers might want to live that story, they don’t want to read about it. Perfection is boring, or as Tolstoi said in his famous opening to Anna Karenina, “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” What was missing from my book was conflict.
I wanted to make another sale, but I hated the idea of torturing my characters, and that’s how conflict felt to me. It seemed like an insurmountable impasse. And then I realized what I had to do. It might seem like a matter of semantics, but the technique worked for me. I told myself that I wasn’t torturing my characters; I was healing them. And since I believe in the healing power of love – both God’s love for us and that between a man and a woman – it became easy (okay, a teeny, tiny bit easier) to create characters who were in pain. Sometimes the pain was emotional. Sometimes it was physical. Though I wept and cringed as I wrote some of the scenes, I wouldn’t let myself off the hook. No matter how dark the story was, I knew that eventually I would give my characters – and my readers – what they deserved: healing, followed by a happily-ever-after.
With both parents avid readers, it’s no surprise that Amanda Cabot learned to read at an early age. From there it was only a small step to deciding to become a writer. Of course, deciding and becoming are two different things, as she soon discovered. Fortunately for the world, her first attempts at fiction were not published, but she did meet her goal of selling a book by her thirtieth birthday. Since then she’s sold more than twenty-five novels, all of which feature happy endings. Her most recent release is Christmas Roses, which answers the question, Can an itinerant carpenter searching for his father and a young widow who seeks only her daughter’s well-being find happiness in a small Wyoming mining town in the fall of 1882?
Amanda can be reached through her web site (www.amandacabot.com) or on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Amanda-Cabot/110238182354449?v=wall) or her blog (http://amandajoycabot.blogspot.com/).
First, welcome, Darlene! Please share a bit about the book, Postmark Christmas.
The holidays are stamped for love in Christmas, Florida. While keeping her eye open for her next job lead, will nomadic event planner Stella find romance instead? How will one retired major change war widow Randi’s postcard-sending mission? Can photographer David Levine draw shy Gabi Archer out of her shell? Will retired police officer Rick Stanton be able to steal postmistress Edie Hathaway’s heart?
Postmark: Christmas is contemporary romance.The authors on the compilation are: Paige Winship Dooly, Darlene Franklin, Kathleen E. Kovach, and Paula Moldenhauer. How did the compilation come about?
I turned to people with a working knowledge of Florida. First, Paige Winship Dooley, a resident of Miramar Beach, joined me. Next I invited Kathy Kovach, who wrote part of the contemporary Florida volume, Florida Weddings. In turn, Kathy invited new-to-fiction author, Paula Moldenhauer. It didn’t hurt that I knew Kathy and Paula from my years in Colorado! We had a reunion of sorts.
What makes your Christmas compilation different than others you’ve seen or read?
The setting—Christmas, Florida—isn’t your typical snowy Christmas scene, although we do add a snow machine at the Christmas festival for those who must have snow with their Christmas. The use of the post office is another unusual angle. Several years ago, I saw a news story about the post office in Christmas that would postmark Christmas mail with “Merry Christmas, Christmas, Florida.” The idea of using that post office as a setting for a Christmas novella immediately appealed to me. We also sought to have a variety of ages among the heroes and heroines. Love can happen at any age!
Becky Germany (the Barbour editor who offered us the contract) made us wait until the ACFW conference in late September, because she wanted to introduce Paula as the recipient of a first-time fiction contract. The manuscripts were due on February 1st. So we got to write the stories during the Christmas season. Becky is good about that!
I remember Paula receiving that contract. What a moment! Nice of Becky to give you the "assignment" during the season. What’s next for you in writing? Will you do more Christmas stories?
I hope to write more Christmas stories! But nothing slated for Christmas 2013 at this time. Next year I’ll have three books in the Maple Notch Dreams series published in the new Heartsong book club from Harlequin. Those are historical romances set in northern Vermont from 1927-1942. I also have more novellas coming out next year: all four stories in Calico Brides (June 2013) and Angel in Disguise in Texas Brides (May 2013).
It's been delightful hosting you today. Congratulations to you and the team!

In this paper, we design a energy harvesting-assisted relay which collects energy from signals radiated by PU (primary user) transmitters, then SU (secondary user) transmitters can be used to forward signal to PU receivers. In this model, transmit power of PU transmitters are divided into two equal part for primary network and secondary network in cognitive radio. This paper will discuss how to evaluate system performance under impacts of energy harvesting coefficients through the outage performance. Such analytical expression can be verified through Monte-Carlo simulation to confirm advantage of the proposed model.

A heartfelt post, Jackie. You just wonder what’s going to come after Nate and when is it all going to stop. I guess people just try their best to pick up the pieces and get on with their lives. Maybe it’s at times like these we all need some light relief and romance in our lives.
Jackie, you break through all the tragedies currently decimating our lands. Well done. You’re an inspiration to many of us.
I can feel your anguish just by reading the lines, Jackie. I am so sorry. My prayers are with you and yours, and everyone affected around the world. The news have become prime time for horror stories… it’s destroying everyone’s psyche. And this is a time when the world needs more dreamers, more thinkers, therefore more writers too. Find your muse, Jackie, and soothe the world some more. Thank you so much for including The Ebb in your post!
Thanks for the mention of Southern Legacy’s special. Won’t be this price for long! Have an awesome day!
You are absolutely right about all the tragedies that have happened lately. It is heartbreaking, leaving us with a feeling of helplessness. Let us all be thankful…and for those not affected by the hurricanes or shooting, open up your heart and extend help to those that were. We are all in this world together. If it didn’t affect you this time, the odds are that it will in time.
Jerri–you nailed it. I’m remember how you jumped in to help those injured in the Boston Marathon bombing April 2013. We don’t forget. But we somehow have to move forward. That means keeping love, laughter and hope in our everyday lives. Most of us don’t live “large” but we can manage love, laughter and hope to balance our sadness.
It’s crazy what’s happening. Thank you for including some lovely books to take our minds off things.
You eloquently expressed how I’ve felt for weeks now. And it’s lovely you found a way to give back by giving readers and authors a little boost. Thank you.
Thanks for your words. Remember at times like this, every little thing you do, matters.
Nancy–you are so right–even when we don’t know we’ve touched someone in a nice away…it gets carried forward.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Best, Jackie W.
I have friends and family in Texas, Florida, Las Vegas, and California. They were all very lucky to come through all the chaos with no damage to homes, property, and persons. My heart aches for those not so lucky.
Sorry to have lost touch with you many years ago. Mom enjoyed your first few books so much. When she passed, I grabbed her autographed copied to add to my own. My boys heard many times as they were growing up about Duke’s little white puppy tail sticking out of the Sunday funnies.
Well, Golly, Melanie: It is so wonderful to hear from you lo all these many years of absence. I miss your Mom a lot. We had some fun times sitting in a plowed up cotton field in a pair of beach chairs and just enjoying the quiet before we got around to putting a house on it. I know you are or were a military wife and moved around the globe. Are you retired now?

The Baja fun started weeks before the event as families responded to a generously offered 2:1 Matching Gift Challenge to establish the Legacy Teacher Fund. These donations coupled with all auction proceeds generated $150,305 to present Appreciation Awards to every Academy faculty and staff member! Further, the generosity of this year's sponsors set a new Baja sponsorship record of $97,500!
Thanks to these significant gifts, the Foundation will fund teachers' "above and beyond" grant requests. With a total of $247,805 raised through the Westlake Baja, it's clear that our Academy community loves its teachers!
Thank you to our 2018 Baja Sponsors!
In 2018, Baja returned to its roots by dedicating all auction proceeds to the Legacy Teacher Fund.
The Appreciation Award amounts are based on years of teaching at the Academy. We have a school-full of amazing teachers. We're excited to show how much we value them!
The Fund provided a significant gift card as an Appreciation Award for EVERY Academy teacher...just in time for the holidays!

Well, it is over. What a ride it was. There is one word that typifies the economy – uncertainty. As Thomas Freidman predicted in February of 2009, this recession would be like none other we have ever experienced. While many parts of the country, including the South, are still struggling with high unemployment and lower per capita incomes, there are few signs of progress ahead. Perhaps the most notable is the rise of the Consumer Confidence Index of 10 points reported earlier this week. That index reflects how people feel and how they see their own prospects. While it remains well below its peak, this is the biggest positive jump in several years.
Our project work in 2011 has taken us from coast to coast. The differences are dramatic from the solid economic performance of Des Moines to the major difficulties facing Birmingham. Our home town of Atlanta has suffered over 200,000 net job losses and the outlook is very weak going forward. Each place has its own story to tell. After all these years and working in over 150 communities in 30 states, I can tell you one thing for sure. Every place is different. Even the county or city next door may have a different culture and economic basis. There are no quick fixes or cookie cutter answers. Each place requires its own strategy and focus.
Market Street has had another fine year because of our quality staff that works extremely hard. This is the best team of people, all 12 of them, that we have ever had. My three partners in the firm, Ellen Cutter, our Director of Research, Alex Pearlstein, our Director of Projects, and Kathy Young, our Director of Operations, have all stepped up as owners and taken on more responsibility. Our book of business in 2012 is very strong, and we look forward to working together for years to come.
There were many milestones in 2011. One of the losses we all suffered was the death of Steve Jobs. He was a gifted and difficult man who impacted everyone in business and in life. He had many human faults, but had a genius that few can even imagine. I have purchased (but not read as yet) his biography written by Walter Issacson. The long time Fortune writer Brent Schender, who wrote about Jobs for 20 + years, ended his article with these words; “Yes, he was larger than life, but life deserted him. In other words, he was as human as they come.” We will not see another like him.
2012 is almost here. We have to face it and know that it will be different. That is the challenge and the opportunity. I look forward to it.

The United States celebrated the July Fourth holiday on Monday with parades, baking contests and picnics draped in red, white and an extra layer of blue, as police ramped up patrols because of concerns about terrorism and gun violence.
[NEW YORK] The United States celebrated the July Fourth holiday on Monday with parades, baking contests and picnics draped in red, white and an extra layer of blue, as police ramped up patrols because of concerns about terrorism and gun violence.
Millions of Americans marked independence from Britain with celebrations as boisterous as a music-packed party by country music legend Willie Nelson for 10,000 people at a race track in Austin, Texas, and as staid as colonial-era costumed actors reading the Declaration of Independence at the US National Archives in Washington.
"It's a good day for reflecting on the positive things about America - the sense of freedom that you can go after and achieve whatever you want," said Helen Donaldson, 48, the mother of a multi-ethnic family of four adopted teens living in Maplewood, New Jersey.
Mrs Donaldson, a white Australian immigrant, cheered with her two New Jersey-born African-American daughters, both 12 and dressed in red, white and blue, as a recording of the Star Spangled Banner played to kick off a children's relay race. Nearby, in the baking contest tent, 13-year-old Nate Fisher entered his cherry blueberry tart into competition.
"I have high hopes," he said, flashing a smile.
History was made in the traditional hotdog-eating contest at New York's Coney Island when long-time champion Joey "Jaws" Chestnut took back the Mustard Yellow International Belt from last year's upstart winner Matt Stonie.
Mr Chestnut set an unofficial new world record by downing 70 hotdogs in 10 minutes - topping his previous record of 69 franks. In the women's division, Miki Sudo successfully defended her title by eating 38 hotdogs in 10 minutes.
With the holiday taking place days after attacks in Baghdad, Dhaka and Istanbul, the New York Police Department deployed eight new "vapor wake" dogs, trained to sniff out explosives on a moving target in a crowd.
The department's presence this holiday was boosted by nearly 2,000 new officers just days after they graduated on Friday from the New York City Police Academy.
"You're going to see a lot of people in heavy vests, helmets and long guns and they can respond at a moment's notice to any incident," NYPD Chief of Department James O'Neill told a news conference.
"There's also a lot you won't see."
Police in Chicago, which has seen a spike in gun murders this year, announced a stepped-up presence with more than 5,000 officers on patrol over the long weekend, traditionally one of the year's most violent, said Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson.
The Chicago Tribune said at least three people had been killed and 34 wounded over the holiday weekend by Monday evening.
Dry weather forecasts across the country thrilled fireworks lovers, although some spots in Michigan have been so rain-starved that pyrotechnic shows were cancelled in a handful of communities near Detroit because of the risk of fires.
A 19-year-old tourist in New York's Central Park suffered a severe foot wound on Sunday after an apparent homemade firework exploded when he jumped off a rock and stepped on the device, authorities said.
In Compton, California, a 9-year-old girl's hand had to be amputated when she was injured after unwittingly picking up a lit firework, media said.
In New York, more than a million people packed balconies, rooftops and the East River's banks for the 40th annual Macy's Fireworks display, which the department store said showcased more than 56,000 pyrotechnic shells and effects.
The musical accompaniment featured the United States Air Force Band playing patriotic numbers including This Land is Your Land and Stars and Stripes Forever and Grammy-winning vocalist Jennifer Holliday will sing America the Beautiful.

You remember Nook Tablets by Barnes and Nobles? Incase you do, they are back but this time with Samsung. Barnes and Nobles today announced a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook Tablet costing a mere $179 with $200 worth of Barnes and Nobles content preloaded to make the device lucrative.
Coming in Black and White, Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook is a first Nook device after Barnes and Nobles decided to quit making Nook Tablets. Earlier this year, however, they announced that they will release Nook devices in collaboration with Samsung.
Samsung Galaxy tab 4 Nook is basically a Galaxy Tab 4 currently in the market with some free content. It includes three e-books, three TV episodes, a $5 Nook store credit for apps or movies, and some special offers for digital magazines.
Here is a recap of the specs of the Galaxy Tab 4. The devices runs on a Quad-core 1.2 GHz with 1.5 GB RAM and 8GB of storage (expandable through MicroSD). The screen is a modest 800 x 1280 pixels, 7.0 inches, good enough for reading. The Interface of the Nook tablet is not standard Android. Instead it’s has a layer on the Android which makes it a typical book reading tablet.

I am a Certified Feng Shui Consultant (also known as a Feng Shui Practioner or Feng Shui Expert) and Red Ribbon Professional Member of the International Feng Shui Guild (IFSG). I have two certifications in the BTB (Black Sect Tantric Buddhist) school of Feng Shui, having studied under both Karen Rauch Carter and James & Helen Jay. Karen is the renowned author of best-selling book Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life and is the founder of The Academy of Exquisite Living Inspired Feng Shui Consultant Certification Program. The Jays are co-owners of Feng Shui Designs and are founding members of the International Feng Shui Guild (IFSG) I have received additional certification from James Jay’s Feng Shui Home Staging Certification Program.
My journey started when someone shared with me the tip of "Don't put your purse on the floor". There is a Chinese proverb- "Purse on floor, money out the door." I kept sharing this little tidbit and one day a girl came up to me and said, "You know, that's a Feng Shui thing, have you ever heard of the book Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life?" I went home that day, ordered the book, and the rest as they say, is history. I have been learning about it since. I kept reading and learning and could not get enough of it. When I found out that Karen Rauch Carter offered a certification course, it did not take me long to decide to sign up. I love Feng Shui. I think it is completely fascinating and I love how it works. I am truly passionate about it and being able to help people improve their lives in numerous ways through applying Feng Shui.
I would love to able to help you make your space the best that it can be.
Wishing you good fortune, health and happiness.

Coming up with vegan breakfast ideas isn’t always easy, especially if you’re new to the game. Eggs? No. Bacon? Uh-uh, honey. Even if you’re not a full-time vegan but just want to cut back on your consumption of animal products, starting with one meal a day is the easiest way to ensure a smooth transition. There are plenty of on-the-go options to help get you out the door with something in your belly even on the busiest mornings. Keep reading for easy vegan breakfast recipes.
1. Teff Porridge: Teff is a toasty “ancient grain” that’s an ideal candidate for porridge on mornings when you want something warm and cozy.
2. Steel Cut Oats: If you’re tired of mushy rolled oats, try this heartier variety, which has a more rustic texture (and works well if you’re craving a savory breakfast, too).
3. Blue Majik Bowls: Frozen bananas, blended with vitamin B-rich spirulina, combine for a base that can be topped with fresh fruit, nuts butter, and chia pudding. It’s totally Instagram-worthy, but it’s surprisingly easy to make.
4. Overnight Oats: Eating any kind of porridge for breakfast will give you a nutritious start to your day. When we’re really busy, we like making several servings of overnight oats ahead of time. Combine oats and milk, then pop them in the fridge to rehydrate for a quick grab-n-go breakfast.
5. Chia Pudding: Chia pudding is another make-ahead meal that you can quickly eat before you head out the door.
6. Rice Cakes With Veggies and Hummus: Rice cakes come in all sorts of flavors these days, and they’re a lighter whole-grain option if you don’t want to have toast or a warm bowl of oatmeal. Paired with veggies and hummus, it’s a delightful breakfast on hot summer mornings.
7. Dates, Almonds, and Fruit: You can’t go wrong with this classic combination. Dates and fruit are a sweet treat, while the nutty almonds will give you a boost of protein and healthy fat.
8. Vegan Yogurt With Granola: Soy, coconut, almond — there’s a vegan yogurt for everyone these days. Pair your favorite with a low-sugar granola.
9. Avocado Toast: Is there a breakfast more quintessentially vegan than avocado toast? Creamy, crispy, and nutritious, this is a classic option for a reason.
10. Smoothies: Mastering the art of the smoothie will serve you well even if you aren’t totally plant-based. Try this blood orange and banana drink to really perk up your mornings.
11. Tofu Scramble: Soft tofu can be scrambled just like an egg. Season it with turmeric and kala namak black salt (naturally rich in sulfur, it tastes like eggs!), then sauté the tofu with your favorite veggies.
12. Amaranth: Top a bowl of vegan yogurt with fruit and popped amaranth or make a bowl of creamy amaranth porridge.
13. Fruit Salad: Fruit salad that’s 75 percent honeydew melon is just depressing. Try Chrissy Teigen’s take instead, loaded with tropical fruit and topped with a zesty coconut-lime dressing.
14. Slow-Cooker Cinnamon Rolls: Set it and forget it, then come back to a oozy casserole that will feed your whole household.

Insurers face a possible claims "timebomb" from chemicals found in household products, a leading lawyer has warned.
A recent report by Greenpeace and WWF-UK has exposed a risk to unborn children from chemicals in products such as perfume, non-stick pans and flame-retardants. The chemicals are suspected of causing birth defects, such as genital abnormalities and cancer.
Marie-Claire di Mambro, product liability partner at law firm Kennedy's, said although determining a link between these ailments and identifying which companies were responsible would be problematic, the insurance industry still needed to be wary.
"It is a worry for product manufacturers and chemical companies. It could be a time bomb waiting to explode."
She said these factors, combined with media exposure of the issue and a push for new EU legislation to make producers responsible for the effects of chemicals was reason enough for insurers to be cautious.
An ABI spokesman said insurers needed to make certain their clients had good risk management plans.

NEW YORK—Adam Ottavino took the mound, wearing a flannel uniform and a glove half the size of his regular leather.
Up to the plate stepped Babe Ruth — the Sultan of Swat himself. The Bambino hit five thunderous drives as the pitcher turned his head to watch the balls soar.
Facing baseball’s most famous hitter was not quite the breeze Ottavino envisioned.
A month later, the native New Yorker signed a $27-million (U.S.), three-year contract with the Yankees, who view Ruth as a deity. Within days, the team approached Ottavino about making a commercial in which he pitches to Ruth with catastrophic consequences.
Brian Spector, senior executive producer of Yankees productions, developed the idea with his staff and shot the 45-second commercial early during spring training in Tampa.
New York found archival footage of Ruth and shot new material with Ottavino on a back lot behind third base at Steinbrenner Field and at a nearby hotel room of a YES Network employee.
“Threw a sepia tone on it, changed the frame rate down to a 12-frame-a-second type feel, kind of how it was back then, added a lot of grain, changed the saturation levels, added a lot of effects to kind of dirty it up,” Spencer said.
The Yankees ordered old-style uniforms and found the caps and gloves online.
After the home-run barrage, the commercial switches to colour.
He pitched to Yankees catcher Austin Romine for “Ottavino’s Nightmare,” which aired during YES’s opening-day pre-game show.
Spencer, a 38-year-old specializing in graphics, worked for YES in 2007 and joined the Yankees in 2011. His team of 12 considers about 15 to 20 concepts annually and creates a few each year for Yankees on Demand.
Among the most memorable was a 2015 spot with Brett Gardner, Dellin Betances, Jacoby Ellsbury, Didi Gregorius, Chase Headley, Brian McCann and CC Sabathia recreating a scene from the 1993 movie The Sandlot. That was part of series of recreations that included Step Brothers with Gregorius and Starlin Castro (2016) and The Hangover with Gregorius, Castro and Matt Holliday (2017).
Parody commercials have featured Aroldis Chapman and Dellin Betances in Relief Heating Company (2018) and Bronx Yard Work with Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton (this year).
Spencer considered Ottavino an ideal actor.

FLUSHING, Michigan -- Being blind makes Kris Pierce's job easier.
Pierce, 49, who works out of Matheson Chiropractic Office, 5265 W. Pierson Road, is a certified massage therapist who says being blind enhances his ability to tune into his clients' conditions.
"A good massage therapist goes by touch," Pierce said.
Kris Pierce of Flint Township, a blind massage therapist, works on realigning the neck of John Rasmovich of Flint Township. Rasmovich came to Pierce after having been in a cast for eight months after ankle fusion surgery. "He's just done a wonderful job of relieving a lot of pain," said Rasmovich.
Pierce lost his sight 17 years ago from retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic condition that also afflicted his mother.
"Anytime you lose one sense, the others pick up," said Dr. Barry Matheson, a chiropractor who rents office space to Pierce. "He can stay more focused."
Matheson said Pierce approached him several months ago about affiliating with his office, and he thought it was a good idea.
"It adds another dimension to my practice," Matheson said. "It relaxes my patients before they get (chiropractic) adjustments."
Massage also breaks up adhesions, reduces swelling and helps neck, shoulder and arm problems, Matheson said.
Massage, one of the oldest and simplest forms of therapy, involves stroking, pressing and kneading parts of the body to ease tension, anxiety, stiffness and pain, according to Pierce. It also stimulates blood circulation and helps the lymphatic system eliminate waste throughout the body.
Pierce, who sees about 100 patients a month, has helped people with peripheral neuropathy and carpal tunnel syndrome regain feeling in their feet and hands. Others in pain from surgeries or disease report noticeable improvement after massage therapy, he said.
Pierce took a 16-week course at N-Touch Massage Therapy in Swartz Creek, then completed 100 hours of free massage practice to become certified. He also practices Reiki, a hands-off Japanese healing technique, and shamanic healing, a hands-on American Indian technique said to draw pain out of a patient's body.
• Location: Affiliated with Matheson Chiropractic Office, 5265 W. Pierson Road, Flushing.
Such homeopathic methods are not medically recognized but are growing in popularity, Pierce said.
"I use it with every massage," he said.
Matheson Chiropractic Office is open 8:30 a.m.-noon Monday through Friday and 2 p.m.-6 p.m. every weekday except Thursday. Pierce also offers massages by appointment at his home from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday and at scheduled times on weekends. He may be reached at (810) 252-9291.

I'm that nerd who's going to get excited to see a certain trio (Bardolph, Pistol, and Nym) come on stage. I relish the chance to see a new actor tackle Falstaff. Plus, I'd never actually read Merry Wives and so I didn't have any preconceived notions to fight through while watching director Stephen Rayne's production.
I'M SORRY. I hate being disappointed in theatre, really I do, but maybe I went into this production wanting to be impressed too much? All I know is that I kept waiting for there to be MORE. David Schramm does excellent work as Falstaff, but he's saddled with a version of Falstaff that has been robbed of his wit and grandeur. The underuse of Bardolph, Pistol, and Pym is criminal (Shakespeare, in the words of a great man, what, what, what were you doing?). But more than anything else, there are simply no emotional stakes whatsoever in this production. We know Falstaff will never sleep with the eponymous merry wives. We know that Anne Page will end up with the right man by the end. While Page's agony might amuse (and Kurt Rhoads does great work with the part), we know that his wife is perfectly faithful and that his angst is misspent and he'll get it sorted in the end.
The best scenes of the entire production are easily those which feature Mistresses Page and Ford, played with relish by Veanne Cox and Caralyn Kozlowski, respectively. The scene in which they receive identical love letters from Falstaff is DELICIOUS and lit up the stage.
This Merry Wives is perfectly pleasant, but ultimately falls flat. Theatregoers looking for a pleasant night will probably find what they're looking for, but I just can't recommend this one with any gusto.

Aurius needs a hero. What it gets is Jacob Marshall.
Jacob is an unpopular, out-of-shape high school student who’s never handled anything more dangerous than the senior football team. When he enters Aurius, however, he’s ecstatic, because he knows this world intimately, and an escape from reality is all he ever wanted.
Yet, he soon discovers that this world is far more real than anything he left behind. Fighting for his life becomes the least of his concerns as he struggles with being a foreigner in a strange land. Knowing what will happen only makes him the target of suspicion, and trying to prevent tragedies only he knows are coming is a heavy burden to bear.
But none of it compares to the most important lesson he must learn: that being a hero means more than just learning how to do battle with a sword. Jacob’s greatest challenge may be facing himself.

Our first trip of 2015/16 has begun – a journey from Dakar to Freetown!
Our first trip of the season started in Dakar a few weeks ago after the long drive down from the UK. It’s great to be back in the region we know and love so well and running trips again after so long away due to the sad events of the past year!
A warm welcome to Janet, Wendy, Kathy, John, Theo, Tim, Mehmet, Baz, Sam, Martin, Steve, Ray, Roy and Adrian, it’s great to have you with us! Above are shots taken on Ile Goree, which many of our passengers visited as a day trip from Dakar.
Not far from Dakar we passed this truck being towed along. It looks like it’s seen better days and the truck towing him didn’t look to have been having a much easier time of it either! Fortunately the driver didn’t appear to have been hurt in the crash.
The first truck lunch of many to come! An easy drive day bought us to our first bush camp, and the first night of torrential overnight rain. It ought to have finished raining a few weeks ago, but the rains this year have come late and are lasting longer than normal. We’re hoping the dry season we plan our trips around comes soon. C’est l’Afrique!
Gambia is split in half by the River Gambia, and with no bridges over it, a lengthy wait for a ferry is an inevitable part of overland travel here.
Tendaba Camp is a real highlight of the time we spend in The Gambia, with a great selection of birds viewed from the camp and on the numerous boat trips our passengers took. A comfortable spot to settle into the relaxed pace of life!
Konteh Kunda School of Music have only just opened, and we were delighted to be one of their first groups to visit. Established to celebrate and promote the Griot tradition and musical talent, and to provide a school for foreign students, we were overwhelmed by the warmth of the welcome we received and the energy of the music and dancing we witnessed. Above and below are shots of a Kora and Balafon performance soon after our arrival.
We danced for much of the evening to Djembe drumming, before witnessing an indoor performance from the family. Several of us also took part in Kora lessons.
A short drive down to the Casamance region saw us back with Simon and Khady in Abene. It was great to be back after so long and to see everybody again, and the Koumpo dance we witnessed on the first evening was as stunning as it has ever been!
The Koumpo is a forest spirit, particularly feared by local children, and often used to warn those in a village who may have digressed, such as children picking mangoes too early. A spike comes out of the Koumpo’s head, which he plants into the ground and spins around on – a truly stunning sight to witness!
Kafountine is a busy fishing port that attracts workers from far and wide. Dozens of boats come in on a good day, and the men unloading the fish are paid per crate, which explains their frenzied pace of work!
Some of the catch is sent to market by refrigerated truck, but the vast majority is smoked, or salted and air dried. Dried fish provides a main protein source for many of the countries which make up West Africa.
The beach in Abene gave a great afternoon’s relaxing, and Jase and Baz managed a quick surf!
Another night in Abene and another night of great music and dancing! We were joined by the same stilt dancer who’d given our previous groups such a great performance 18 months ago, but this time with a new costume he’d just finished making!
After a short stop in the main city of Casamance, Ziguinchor, we were back to the coast, visiting local villages by boat, looking for wildlife, and enjoying stunning sunsets.
We’re now in Bissau city, as relaxed and friendly as ever, enjoying some rest and western luxuries before the rough road east into Guinea begins. The heavy rains won’t have helped the roads, but should make for some stunning waterfalls!
Many thanks to Tim, Theo, Baz and Wendy for letting us share some of their photos!

Nessebar is situated 30 km northwards of Bourgas, the biggest seaside resort Sunny Beach is only 1.5 km away, offering lots of amusements and excellent night life.
Situated on a rocky peninsula on the Black Sea, the more than 3,000-year-old site of Nessebar was originally a Thracian settlement (Menebria). At the beginning of the 6th century BC, the city became a Greek colony.
The city’s remains, which date mostly from the Hellenistic period, include the acropolis, a temple of Apollo, an agora and a wall from the Thracian fortifications.

The Parish Council of St. Adalbert is a group of people who represent the entire community and who plan and guide its growth. They are chosen by the parish to join with the pastor in a special service of long-range planning, the setting of parish priorities, and the implementation of programs. First election of Parish Council members was held on April 27, 1969, under the guidance of Fr. Alfred Stopyra OFMConv. Since that time, monthly meetings provide a forum for representatives from parish organizations to report on their group’s activities, discuss new endeavors, and evaluate existing programs. Successive pastors used to choose people so the whole parish was well represented. Presently the Parish Council works closely with the Finance Council. Members of both councils help the pastor Fr. Miroslaw Podymniak OFMConv., who is accountable to the Diocesan Bishop for the administration and stewardship of the parish. The Parish Finance Council assists him in the administration of parish temporal matters. Members of the councils, like parts of our own body, have special functions. All of them have different talents and skills that they bring together to form a single body. Their aim is to speak with one voice for the Parish.
Parish Trustees represent our Parish to the Bishop.
Members of Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) help in the mission of Evangelization, formation in faith, pastoral ministry, in liturgy, giving direction to the liturgical and worship elements of the parish, and help in our seasonal social celebrations.
Parish Finance Council helps to oversee the administration and financial condition of the Parish, including all Parish property, its buildings in terms of maintenance, and financial vitality to provide a welcoming, hospitable environment to all parishioners.

Today I awoke to a new Ugandan experience for me: using a blanket. I do not know what the temperature was, but I know that I was comfortably snuggled under a blanket at 7:30 AM when my alarm when off. That was a pleasant and welcome feeling. Fort Portal is a little cooler, especially in the evenings, and I enjoyed that, sleeping very soundly and peacefully, after staying up a little too late writing about our exciting news from our first time in Fort Portal.
Clare prepared a delicious breakfast – the first Ugandan breakfast I’ve had that involved more than bread and bitter. She added to those items, bringing frees cubed avocado, sliced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and the piece-de-resistance, an onion omelet. Clare quickly told me that the tomatoes were safe for me to eat, because not only did her mother’s garden produce them, but she washed them with hot water immediately prior to slicing them for us. Let me tell you – it was delightful! It was a great way to start our only full day in Fort Portal.
After the meal, Clare suggested we pray, and grabbed Chris and my hands. We stood in the living room, but nobody started. Clare looked at me as though it was obvious that I was supposed to be praying, and she said “you, Pastor, pray for us.” Clare had first called me “pastor” the previous evening, after I prayed for dinner. I am humbled that Clare finds my prayers to be worthy of such a title. Chris drove us to our appointment with the LC5 Richard R. (Local Councilperson 5 – that is, five of five, which is the chairperson of the council of five). We left the house about 50 minutes late. And by that I mean leaving the house 50 minutes after we were due at the office of what would be similar to our county chairperson. Clare told me that we would be fine, and that 8:30 did not mean 8:30. Chris reminded me that we were on African time, and that it was probably going to fine, although I could see that he thought we may have been pushing the limits of the time warp. We arrived at the government offices, and found out way to the LC5’s office. His receptionist, now that we were 70 minutes overdue, told us kindly that the man was not yet in for the day, and to please have a seat. We shook hands with the receptionist and another man who was waiting in the office for the Commissioner. Chris and I talked about the plan, the meeting, and the amazing work God has done in the last two days. Then we moved on to talking about our mutually favorite television show The Office. After about 30 more minutes, LC5 arrived, and went through the reception room into his office, and closed the door without a greeting. Two other men when in and out over the next 20 minutes, and then we were invited in.
He calmly shook our hands as we introduced ourselves, and had us sit. He apologized for his being late, saying that he had been meeting with the town Bishop, who, because he was a religious man, could not be put off, even for a set meeting. I noticed that on the desk was a wooden carved scripture: “No weapon formed against me shall prosper - Isaiah 54:17.” He allowed us to explain our intentions, and asked us to sign his visitor logbook. Chris explained the project, and Clare and I occasionally added our thoughts. Chris was calm and spoke with clear intention, as though he was at peace. Chris explained what the name “a.k.a. Hope” means, and why it was chosen. From that point forward, the Commissioner worked the word “hope” into his sentences as often as possible. Chris and Clare both explained that this project will become self –sufficient, and will be operated by Ugandans, despite being started by Americans. The Commissioner asked several questions, which Chris answered, with Clare and I adding tidbits here and there. The Commissioner told us that he was aware of some land, about 40 acres, that is available and might be perfect for this. He told us about the land, and it seems like a viable option. He said that he would make a couple of calls for us today, to check into it, and would call Clare with the details. He even said “let me do the groundwork and give you some answers about Kijura.” He suggested that we could buy land for a better price if the white people don’t come, and the school isn't mentioned, because both are associated with money. Then the Commissioner told us that we are “most welcome” and that the community will welcome anything that brings hope. He said that he strongly believes that education is empowering, and that these people need that. He continued, saying that not only did he think this was a good idea, but that we have his “unconditional support” and the support of the local government. He said that land isn't cheap, but he believed that we will be able to find land that we can afford, and, perhaps most importantly, he looked at Chris, and he looked at me, and said “you are very, very welcome here, and you can rely on our support.” What a blessing that God has placed this man in this position at this time! Seriously – Praise The Lord for ordaining every aspect of this project! The Commissioner shook our hands, told us again how welcome we are, and we left.
Clare did a little dance in the hallway to express her joy! Chris and I stayed composed, but with grins from ear to ear. Then she told us that while we were waiting for the LC5 to show up, she went down the hall and made an appointment for tomorrow morning with the RDC (Resident District Commission), who was the third person we needed to talk to. As in, the third person that Chris needed to talk to in the next 5 weeks – but we were led to them in the first week! We drove away from the government complex, bound for the Dutchess Hotel.
We took the scenic route, Chris says, because he was so excited from the meeting that he wasn't thinking clearly about his navigation. We made it, parked and found our way in. Yesterday, we had been told that the owner would be in by 9:00 AM, and it was pushing 11:00 AM, but, neither the man nor woman who own the place were in. We decided that we could sit and wait for a while, since we wanted to sit and discuss what great things God had been doing for this project, even in just the last two days! We bought some drinks from the hotel lobby, and sat on the front porch at a table. Clare enjoyed her Coke, while Chris had his local favorite, Navara, and I tried a new local pop. Mine was a non-alcoholic malt beverage, made with pineapple. The flavor was like that of a pineapple soda (like a Fanta) but with more bite. It was very good, and refreshing. Our trio sat and enjoyed our drinks, and decompressed from the meeting. We talked and gave the glory to God, thanking him for His blessings. Then Clare asked about me and my story. I told her my history, but I focused on the last few months. It is an interesting story, even to me; especially looking back to see how outrageously far I have come (spiritually and physically) since November 4, 2012. After an hour of relaxing and sharing, we decided that since the hotel had brick oven pizza, we should eat, which would also increase the chances of seeing one of the owners. We ordered a pizza with bacon, mushrooms and onions, and not five minutes later, Helen, one of the hotel owners, arrived.
Helen joined us at our table (technically, her table) and allowed us to tell her about our project. She took it all in, and provided some good feedback. She told us that she is from the Netherlands, and that she is a tour guide for European tourists, who wanted to visit Africa. She said that she has been to Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya and many other places, but several years ago, she was planning to guide a group to Uganda. In preparation for this, she and her husband visited Uganda, and had a “gut feeling” that Fort Portal was the place for them to settle. They decided to build a hotel, and three years ago, they began construction. She shared that her experience with the local government was mostly positive, although it wasn’t without challenges. Helen gave us her email and phone number, and offered to help whenever we needed in the future. Another person placed directly in our path! Our pizza came right as we were wrapping up with Helen, and it was great. It will be a welcome meal to share with visitors, or even just when we need a taste of home – not home, but America. Home might soon be somewhere else……..
After lunch, we drove to the house that Clare’s cousin is offering for rent. We found it on one of the main roads, about half way between the turn off to Clare’s mother’s neighborhood, and the main road in Fort Portal. The house was undergoing some renovations, but it was beautiful. I walked through, taking photos, soon realizing that the house was much larger than I thought. I counted four bedrooms, which made me think that it will be out of our price range. Clare hasn’t gotten a definitive answer yet, but she estimated the monthly rent at 500,000 Ugandan shillings (only $200 US per month!) This house is beautiful, with a full wall and gate on the street side, and a tall hedge/fence surrounding the remaining yard and garden. If I can get that house for that price, I expect to take it.
I am writing this on the couch in the living room of Clare’s mother’s house. There is a gentle breeze sweeping across, and it is raining. I look out the window and see tall trees, and green everywhere. This place is beautiful, and so are the people!
We are Nick and Sarah Eiden, high school sweethearts, parents of 2, living the good life, handing it all over to Him.


text: We have developed a method for patterning sub-micrometer gates with T-shaped cross sections, which may be applied to manufacture high performance field effect transistors (FETs). The technique employs two exposures at the KrF excimer laser wavelength (248 nm). The first exposure uses a phase-shifting mask to pattern 0.1 micrometers isolated spaces. The resist used for the second exposure absorbs the 248 nm radiation strongly enough to produce a profile suitable for lift-off patterning.

This happened just one block to the north ... and almost one year to the date of another AC accident, though that one was far more serious.
How Often Do Air Conditioners Fall Out of NYC Windows and Kill People?
Oh man, I lived in that apartment building for 12 years! This building was also featured in Grieve's post, "A Stroll Through Christmas Village" - http://evgrieve.com/2010/12/stroll-through-christmas-village.html. Glad no one got hurt. Still baffled by why the installation of window air conditioners above the ground floor is not regulated by New York City.
One of my biggest fears is of falling air conditioner units. Glad no one got hurt.
last month I noticed an air conditioner propped up on books in the 2nd floor apt of 94 second ave right above candela restaurant. At the time I hoped it would be stable enough to withstand hurricane irene.
i'm surprised you dont' see a lot more of these accidents. most of these old buildings don't have A/C sleeves and people simply prop an air conditioner on the window ledge with whatever they can find. and finding enough electricity to power an air conditioner in such old buildings is another problem. some of these place don't have 20 amps supplying a few outlets in 1 room (like in a modern condo, or apartment), but max 15 amps supplying practically half the entire apartment!!
if only they would fall on the football jersey yahoos screaming up and down 2nd and 3rd avenues all day long.
@Anon 3:50 pm - IIRC, my 2 bedroom apt in that building (88 Second Ave) had one 15 amp fuse for the whole apt. I offered to pay the landlord his costs plus a premium to bring another line into the apt so that I could have A/C. He refused because he wanted me out (our rent when we finally left was about $300 a month).
