TDOT says that a section of State Route 116 in Anderson County that was washed away by a landslide last week, is expected to remain closed for the next 3 to 4 weeks. TDOT officials said Monday that loose material is being cleared from the site and the roadway will be replaced by a rock buttress. The damage occurred during last week’s torrential rainfall. TDOT said one lane of the road was back open and a temporary traffic signal was in place as slide repair was under way. SR 116 (New River Highway) is in the mountains in north Anderson County. It starts at Frost Bottom Road/Briceville Highway northeast of Oliver Springs, runs northwest to the Rosedale/New River area and then southwest to Petros.

Level 3 has bought WilTel for $700 million.
Level 3 will give WilTel's parent Leucadia 115 million shares of common stock and $370 million cash for the company.
WilTel's infrastructure will give Level 3 about 3,000 more route miles and allow it to reach 50 new markets. Level 3 plans to merge the two networks and migrate nearly all of WilTel's IP, optical and voice transport traffic to the combined network.
The deal includes a contract between WilTel and SBC, its largest customer for $675 million worth of services through to 2009. Level 3 will also acquire WilTel subsidiary, Vyvx. It won't however acquire WilTel's headquarters building or assume its outstanding $358 million debt.
The purchase will bring together two medium-sized backbone companies in an industry that is boiling down to a few big players and a number of small, specialized service providers, said independent telecommunications analyst Jeff Kagan.
Kagan expects to see more mergers as new network technologies and competition reshape the industry. On Monday, the FCC approved the mergers of SBC and AT&T, and Verizon and MCI.

European regulators have rolled out a new scheme striving to accelerate the approval of promising new medicines through a programme of enhanced support for companies working on drugs targeting unmet medical needs.
The European Medicines Agency’s PRIME (PRIority MEdicines) initiative is similar to the ‘breakthrough’ status system used in the US, with both schemes aiming to speed up the evaluation of the most innovative therapies by offering early guidance on development programmes.
Through PRIME, the EMA said it will provide early, proactive and enhanced support to medicine developers to optimise the generation of robust data on a medicine’s benefits and risks and enable accelerated assessment of medicine applications. “This will help patients to benefit as early as possible from therapies that may significantly improve their quality of life,” it said.
The idea is to engage with medicine developers earlier to help strengthen clinical trial designs to facilitate the generation of high quality data for the evaluation of an application for marketing authorisation.
“The launch of PRIME is a major step forward for patients and their families that have long been hoping for earlier access to safe treatments for their unmet medical needs, such as rare cancers, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias,” noted Vytenis Andriukaitis, EU Commissioner for Health and Food Safety.
While PRIME is open to all companies on the basis of preliminary clinical evidence, micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and applicants from the academic sector are able to apply earlier on the basis of compelling non-clinical data and tolerability data from initial clinical trials.

Scott Rigell's district is likely to become more Democratic and more African-American after court-ordered redistricting, upping the stakes in an outreach program he has been working on for years.
Republican Rep. Scott Rigell of Virginia has voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, but he won't call it Obamacare. "I see it as pejorative," Rigell said. "It is the Affordable Care Act. Now, it's not affordable, and I think it's the 'Unaffordable Care Act.' But ... it's not personal to the president."
Rigell's ability to thread that needle—opposing President Obama's agenda while not disrespecting him personally—is central to the Republican's strategy for winning support from his district's large number of African-American voters.
Support from black voters is about to become all the more critical: A federal court ruled last month that the district adjacent to Rigell's was illegally gerrymandered, objecting that so many minorities had been packed into a single district. As part of the ruling, the court has ordered the state legislature to redraw the map by Sept. 1, a ruling that will stand barring intervention by the U.S. Supreme Court.
When lawmakers do redraw Rigell's district, it will likely include a new influx of voters from Democratic Rep. Bobby Scott's—where African Americans currently make up 57 percent of the population and where President Obama won 79 percent of the vote in 2012. So in 2016, if Rigell wants to keep his seat, he will likely have to succeed where much of his party has failed: convincing large numbers of African Americans to vote GOP.
Fortunately for Rigell, he won't be attempting this for the first time. He first won the seat in 2010, and he has spent his four and a half years in Congress working to make inroads in the local African-American community, despite his party's heavy reliance on white support. In doing so, he has made allies across the aisle and enemies within his own party, and he has strong ideas of what his party needs to do to win over nonwhite voters.
African Americans make up 22 percent of Rigell's southeastern Virginia district. When Rigell first ran in 2010, campaign consultants told him he wouldn't win more than 5 percent of their vote.
It's impossible to pinpoint what exact percentage of black voters threw in with Rigell in 2010, but—based on the fact that he outperformed other Republicans in predominantly African-American precincts—campaign consultant Jason Miyares estimates the Republican won between 12 percent and 15 percent in 2014.
"I'm not saying we've got 51 percent of the black vote. We don't," Rigell said. "We have a lot more than any of these paid guys told me we can get, that's for sure."
In 2012, Rigell's only race run in the high-minority-turnout environment of a presidential election year, he beat Democratic challenger Paul Hirschbiel by 8 percentage points. Among voters from Rigell's district, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney lost to Obama by two points, and Republican Senate candidate George Allen lost by 4 points to Democrat Tim Kaine.
Rigell's support in some of the district's predominantly African-American areas was key to his ability to outperform other Republicans. In the portion of Norfolk that lies in his district, he lost to Hirschbiel by only 4 percentage points, while Allen lost by 18 points in that area and Romney lost by 15 points.
Meanwhile, Rigell has consistently won solid majorities in the more heavily white areas in his district. He won 56 percent of the vote in Virginia Beach in 2012, and 61 percent there in 2014.
It is likely that Rigell's district will soon include more voters from Norfolk, many of whom will probably be African American. One key to winning over those voters, he said, is toning down the Republican Party's antagonism toward Obama.
"We cannot discount the sensitivity of our hardworking friends in the African-American community who—I mean, it was a fundamentally big deal that an African American was now president. It was for all of us as Americans," Rigell said.
That means Rigell has two rules: Don't call it Obamacare, and refer to Obama as "the president" or "President Obama."
"African Americans will come up to me [and say], 'Thank you for referring to the president as the president,' " Rigell said. "It is not patronizing to show respect to the office of the president. It's not pandering."
Rigell has crossed the aisle on some bills that African Americans overwhelmingly support: He cosponsored a criminal-justice-reform bill last month along with Scott (the Virginia Democrat who represents the soon-to-be-redrawn district next to Rigell's) that would refocus mandatory-minimum sentences for drug crimes to the leaders of drug-trafficking groups, and encourage the use of probation for some offenders. He also joined Democratic Reps. Elijah Cummings and Carolyn Maloney in backing an anti-gun-trafficking bill in 2013.
Rigell is willing to break with some Southern conservatives on the Confederate flag as well, saying the federal government should not "give even a tacit expression of approval of that flag," and that Mississippi's state government should remove the Confederate symbol from the upper left corner of its state flag. "I never flew the Confederate flag," Rigell said, adding that he grew up a Southerner who ate fried chicken and drank sweet tea. "When you see it attached to a pickup truck flying down road, I don't know what it meant to those guys, but I knew it had a connection to values that I didn't hold."
Rigell was not present for the voice vote on a measure banning the Confederate flag from federal cemeteries, but he said he would have voted in favor of the ban.
Still, Democrats are eager to tie Rigell to the GOP as a whole—especially on the issues of the Confederate flag, voting rights, and others that could resonate in the African-American community. Rigell joined his Republican colleagues last week in sending a measure that would ban the flag at the Capitol to a House committee rather than acting on it immediately, delaying a decision on the flag and holding up the appropriations process. Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesman Jermaine House cited that as one reason Rigell could be in trouble in 2016.
"Regardless of his outreach, black voters in Virginia deserve a representative who supports the issues that matter to them," House said in a statement. "Whether it's Rigell's support of the Republicans' maneuver to keep the hateful Confederate battle flag on display at the Capitol or his failure to lead on fixing the Voting Rights Act, his votes don't match his rhetoric."
The DCCC has hit Rigell on issues important to African Americans in the past, like last cycle, when it criticized him for voting against a minimum-wage hike despite having voiced support for it. Meanwhile, National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Chris Pack says his group considers defending Rigell "one of our top priorities."
Illustrating the difficulty of Rigell's position, he has also received scrutiny from Republicans who think he's been too friendly with Obama. In 2013, when he rode on Air Force One and attended an event with Obama at a major shipyard in his district, Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist called him a "cheap date," and a local tea-party group warned of a possible primary challenge.
In 2012, pastor Aaron Wheeler worked for Rigell's campaign as a "coalition outreach" adviser. Wheeler personifies the kind of voter Rigell hopes to win over: He's a registered Republican but supported Obama's reelection that year. Soon after Rigell's first election in 2010, he approached Wheeler, who still describes himself as an adviser to Rigell, about reaching out to the African-American community.
"I had to kind of straighten him out when he first walked into my office," Wheeler said. "Scott has a Southern-drawl language, and I think he had on cowboy boots or something. "¦ And I said, 'Brother, we've got to come off with that image a little bit.' "
More important than losing the cowboy boots, Wheeler said, Rigell has been a consistent presence in African-American churches, bringing his wife and children and attending volunteer events. Rigell has also helped Wheeler's causes as a local activist, including raising public awareness about preventing gang violence, Wheeler said.
"I'm trying to teach other Republicans that you don't march into churches just on Sunday morning. We don't want to see that," Wheeler said. "We want to see how you're going to help us with jobs. Scott put on major job fairs. He's helped me with gang violence by going on the street corners in Newport News, Virginia. You don't find many Republicans that do that."

The pro-Moscow Night Wolves group has been turned away at the Polish border.
The Polish Government has declared that it will refuse entry to an extreme nationalist Russian motorcycle gang who had intended to commemorate the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany 70 years ago by riding from Moscow to Berlin. The pro-government 'Night Wolves' group, which was founded in 1989 and has a membership of approximately 5,000, has expressed their desire to recreate the Red Army's westward push during the latter stages of World War II by passing through Belarus, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria before finally reaching the German capital in triumph by 8 May.
The bikers departed from Russia on Saturday and crossed into neighbouring Belarus without issue, but Polish authorities have made it clear that they are not welcome in their territory. Border guard spokesman Dariusz Sienicki announced that "These people will not cross into Poland. Each of them will individually receive a decision denying them entry into Poland's territory." Polish Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz went as far as to call the actions of the group a "provocation", a view which is shared by many people throughout Poland who are deeply suspicious of the actions of any organisation linked to the Russian government.
Last year, following the annexation of the Crimean peninsula, the Night Wolves made their way down to Russia's newest territory in a display of nationalistic force and solidarity. Numerous members have also proudly fought with the pro-Russian separatists in the ongoing conflict in the east of Ukraine. Additionally, Russian President Vladimir Putin himself has been photographed giving speeches to the group in the past and has even been seen riding alongside them. These factors have led to the organisation being blacklisted by the United States, a move which coincided with broader economic sanctions brought against the Russian government following the Ukraine crisis.
German authorities have also expressed their disapproval of the bikers' plan and have said that they will try to stop any attempt by the club to enter the country, even though some members already have the appropriate visas to visit Germany. "We deeply treasure freedom of speech and freedom of assembly in Germany, but we've decided that some of the leaders in the Night Wolves are not pursuing legitimate aims with these plans." said foreign ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer. He then pointed to the group's support for Crimea's annexation as concrete proof of these non-legitimate aims.
The Night Wolves themselves remain undeterred by these hindrances, with their leader Alexander Zaldostanov remaining resolute in his desire to carry out the group's goal. The publicity gained from their trip thus far has ensured that the presence of Russian nationalism is being felt within the heart of Europe.

The Fullhurst graduate programme is to encourage, nurture and accelerate the academic progress of the year 11 students in the college. The graduate students are those who demonstrate excellence in academic achievement, exemplary conduct in terms of their own behaviour and high rates of attendance in college. As such, being a graduate student is a title that all students strive to have, and those that meet these standards are rewarded and celebrated throughout the year. The intention of the college is for all students to end year 11 as graduate students, to allow them to have as many options as possible for their future destinations. To allow this to happen, over the past few years the college has developed a multi-layered programme of support to raise the achievement of pupils including academic interventions for them to partake in, academic mentoring and coaching, and pastoral support initiatives.
Past experience has found the graduate programme to be highly successful in raising achievement.
In 2018, the graduate group achieved an overall progress score of +0.74. This means that the graduate students achieved nearly a whole grade higher, across eight subjects, than the national expectation for these pupils. Furthermore, the attainment of the graduate students was on average +1.00 grades higher per subject than non-graduates.
In 2017, the graduate group achieved an overall progress score of +1.14. This means that the graduate students achieved nearly a whole grade higher, across eight subjects, than the national expectation for these pupils. Furthermore, the attainment of the graduate students was on average +1.63 grades higher per subject than non-graduates.
Being a graduate student is ultimately a privilege, and something that will stay with our graduate students forevermore.

Last week I experienced a dreadful moment when the transmission in my car went out. If you know anything about cars, you probably understand why this is bad news. Not only did my car drive about as well as my pillow, but it would also require around $2,000 to get the transmission replaced so the car could get back on the road. A car with a bad transmission is like a book without words or a toy without batteries; it looks fine on the outside, but without that key element the object is unable to perform its primary function. In other words, it’s broken.
At Servant Life, thankfully we don’t deal with faulty transmissions or misprinted books, but we do believe that missions has a core ingredient that can’t be sacrificed: the gospel of Jesus Christ. If our ministry is lacking the proclamation of the gospel, we’ve missed the primary goal of ministry.
Engaging in ministry that lacks gospel emphasis is not only concerning and questionable, but at that point we have to ask the obvious question: is it really still considered Christian ministry?
It is our belief that ministry and missions are inseparable from the good news of the gospel. If our actions aren’t paired with the message of Jesus Christ, we are simply engaging in humanitarian aid and not truly ministering to those we come in contact with. Meeting physical needs and demonstrating the love of Christ through actions is very important—we can’t neglect this!—but we must also point people to the hope of Christ revealed through the Word of God.
That is not to say that every time we do as little as smile at someone that we need to stop and immediately share the gospel with them for fear of engaging in ministry the wrong way. But we do believe that the driving force behind our actions is clearly the love of Jesus Christ, and that the people we are interacting with need to understand that as well. More than showing people hope and love in this lifetime, we want to point them to a relationship with God that will continue for eternity.
This is why Servant Life has embraced the core value of “gospel-centered ministry.” We don’t want to send groups on mission trips simply to play games with children or host a sports camp—we want teams to proclaim the hope and love of Jesus Christ and invite people to trust in Him for salvation. We partner with missionaries and local churches who are engaging in year-round ministry to advance the gospel and further the Kingdom of God here on earth. We recognize that there are many challenges associated with cross-cultural ministry, but the one thing we are unwilling to compromise on is the gospel of Jesus Christ.
If you’re looking for gospel-centered mission trip opportunities, we’d love to talk more. You can view our full list of trips here, or contact us if you have a question. If you’d like to learn more about our four core values, check this out!

You see an advert in your bodybuilding magazine or on some website to "Gain 10 pounds of muscle in 3 days". A fitness model with a huge muscular body, grinning at you, and a couple of before and after pictures have you hooked.
Strategically placed phrases like "scientifically proven" and "the secret pros use" will make you reach for your telephone and credit card.
I’m sorry to cut it to you, but it just isn't possible to gain 10 pounds of muscle in 3 days.
There, the truth is out.
The only way to do it may be to artificially graft on additional muscles using some space-age surgical procedure. And let me tell you, it will be quite a while before we see any such thing available on Earth.
Don’t believe the ads; I don’t care what they promise you. The supplement industry regularly commits a multi-billion dollar scam in the form of these ads, magazines, and websites.
Here’s what this multi-billion dollar industry does: On a daily basis, it puts out these advertisements, complete with fake testimonials and flimsy research showing how their supplements are the best and how they can help you gain X pounds of muscle in a very short time.
Unfortunately, the majority of these outrageous claims are scams. While there are definitely some effective supplements out there, even those can’t make you gain huge amounts of muscle mass overnight. Even the best supplements cannot replace hard work in the gym, and that’s the truth.
Whatever the claim is, if a supplement promises to help you gain many pounds of muscle or burn fat at twice the normal rate, you should decide on how good the supplement is based on sound research and not phony testimonials.
Everyone would know about such a supplement and every trainer around would recommend this supplement, if it truly existed.
You CAN gain a lot of muscle in a short period of time, but it won’t happen in a mere 3 days.
Follow this plan: Hit the gym regularly, train all parts of your body scientifically, overload your workouts progressively, eat properly, and rest well; pretty soon you won’t just gain 10 pounds of muscle, but perhaps a whole lot more.
While not in the manner described in the ads, supplementation can also help you in your path. Truthfully, only a handful of supplements out there can make you get better results.
When looking at these advertisements and testimonials, use common sense and take them with a pinch of salt, because most of the testimonials are inaccurate or scripted.
The "research" behind these claims, which "prove" how you can gain 10 pounds of muscle in a few days, is mostly faked or altered cleverly to lead you to believe that the tests were performed on humans.
In actuality the tests were probably done on rats or mice, and you can’t relate the data from this trumped-up research to humans.
Try to get a reference from the research material and look it up on PubMed. You’ll probably find that the research is horribly skewed or just doesn’t exist.

A rejection of social norms.
This, in turn, means that branding needs to enter a new sphere of experimental marketing in order to correctly target this forward-thinking audience.
The Millennial generation seeks to fill their lives with experiences and not assets, so travel is at the top of the to-do list. The advent of the internet and the ever-growing wave of apps like Uber and AirBnB has made travelling easier to plan and more accessible than ever. This, in turn, has created a generation of money-wise and deal brokering travellers that understand travel costs and hunt for the best deal. Traditional advertising will no longer work on the thrifty mind-set of the millennial, so in order for a destination to stand out, it needs to try something new.
The internet gives people access to ratings, reviews and all the information on any destination you could possibly imagine at the tips of your fingers. The future of travel is all organised from the comfort of your own home, and with half the hassle.
With a wealth of information available at your fingertips, a destination can no longer focus on just selling rooms. They need to provide and portray an entire experience. From spaces, to services, to entertainment – all these features must be advertised effectively for your digital marketing campaign to work.
With the millennial generation set to make up 50% of the workforce by 2020, they are not a fraction that can be ignored. However, they are attracted to different things. Lavish room service and prestigious views are less likely to impress than proximity to places of interest and free Wi-Fi. Interconnectivity is always a must and free Wi-Fi is now a staple in any destination frequented by millennial.

I don't really like admitting that I don't know much about things that pertain to food and drink, but sometimes I need to swallow my pride and be honest. Wine is just one of those things that I have a very limited knowledge of. Basically all I know about wine is that I like what I like and don't like what I don't.
I must admit that I don't really know what people are looking for when they talk about the sight, nose or flavors "in the mouth" or "the finish". Usually I smile and nod when someone talks about their favorite type of wine in technical terms. I'll even go so far as to admit (and this hurts) that when I order a bottle of wine at a restaurant and the waiter wants me to taste it before it is poured, I would put my stamp of approval on anything, even bottled kerosene just to get out of the situation. I just don't feel like I know enough to even turn down a bad wine. That is pitiful.
Deciding to face my fear of wine and its devotees, I trekked out to the Denver International Wine Competition last Saturday. This competition which was hosted by festival founders Christopher and Darcy Davies and held at the Omni Interlocken Hotel in Broomfield, is a precursor to the 9th Denver International Wine Festival that will take place November 6th - 10th. During this two day wine competition, a room full of volunteer wine enthusiasts and professionals tasted and judged approximately 800 wines from all over the world in an effort to pick the best of the best.
In late October, the gold medal winning wines from this competition will then be passed on to ten talented chefs including nine of Denver's best, and former White House chef, John Moeller, so they can pair them with their own innovative culinary creations. This event, The Pairsine Chef's Food and Wine Pairing Competition, is the signature culinary event of the International Wine Festival which takes place Thursday, November 7th at 6 pm.
Even though The Pairsine is the signature culinary event, it is only one of many to take place at the festival. The festival's first event, The Grand Vinters Dinner which is scheduled for Wednesday, November 6th at 6 pm, is a multi course dinner featuring wines from a particular region or wine maker.
The Grand Tasting of International Wines and Food will take place Friday, November 8th at 6 pm. This is the region's largest wine tasting event for consumers, media and trade with more than 60 wineries, breweries and distilleries pouring, including premium spirits, sake and craft beer. Tastings of food and wine, and food products, as well as wine accessories and fine art will also be available.
On Saturday, November 9th, Christopher Davies will lead a full day VIP Tour of the Front Range Wineries. This tour will take wine lovers behind the scenes of three of his favorite Colorado wineries and a local micro-distillery.
On Sunday, November 10th from 12 to 2 pm, is the event I would love to attend if I weren't going to be at the Pillsbury Bake-Off, the Julia Child Tribute Luncheon. Former Chateau Mumm brand ambassador and personal friend of Julia Child, Madeleine de Jean will be leading an intimate champagne luncheon and sabering demonstration.
Whether you are a seasoned wine enthusiast or a novice like me, there is probably an event for you at this festival. For more information about the wine competition and the results, a full schedule of events, ticket prices and more information about festival organizers Chris and Darcy Davies, and their Wine Country International Magazine, please click on the links.
So, even though I didn't leave the competition a pro, I did learn that liking what you like is OK and nothing to be ashamed of, because taste is a personal thing. I also discovered that not all Rieslings are sickly sweet as demonstrated in my new favorite wine that I discovered there. Thanks so much Chris and Darcy for your hospitality and including me in this event.
Oh, that Pearmund was the best. I already looked it up. Maybe we should order a case?!
What a wonderful event! Sounds like it was really a great day and I am happy to learn about the upcoming wine events in Denver. Thanks, Karen!
What a wonderful event. I live with a wine enthusiast, so I know what it is like to not not know your wine. I always go by what he says is good. May be I should fix that.
Sounds like a great time! I know very little about wine, too, but it's fun learning more. Rieslings can be wonderful, I've found, if you have those that are drier - it's a wonderful wine. So much to learn, so little time - but that means there's always something new to look forward to learning!
Wow, I didn't even know there was a wine competition in Denver! How fun!
Yay for getting out of the kitchen for a wine tasting event. I remember years ago when I discovered all Rieslings are not sticky sweet and savored a dry one. Now a dry riesling is one of my favorite things to order for brunch.
Sounds fun! I love learning about wine.
I found I was invited to this event after we spoke but my schedule would not allow me time to attend but I'm glad you got to go. I've learned a lot over the past couple of years but for me the real truth lies in just one thing...how does it taste?
I went to two events this week for wines from the author of 'Under the Tuscan Sun' and was so impressed. Her story and the story of the wines made them even more special. I plan to do a small event to help get the word out about their launch in the US...stay tuned...being an expert is not what is important, enjoying the wines and the company is!
Sounds like a very interesting and fun event.
It's always great to learn a bit more about wines and how the pair with our preferred dishes.
Thanks for sharing this event with us!

I received these products from Influenster for review purposes; however, all opinions are 100% mine and 100% true.
The email from Influenster saying that I qualified for a Voxbox was one of the best that I have opened in a while. I was honestly not expecting to ever be considered for one again after what had happened with the Mary Kay Voxbox that I qualified for a while back. What happened was that I never got the Voxbox. I contacted them through email and Twitter multiple times, but they never got back to me. I thought that they wouldve dropped me completely since I did none of the activities for it. Anyway, I was ecstatic to find out that I qualified for the Violet Voxbox!
I kind of like this box because all of these are products that I would actually use. My biggest fear when it comes to unpersonalized boxes is that I might get things that I would never consider using. The list is small but still.
I will be writing separate reviews for each product. Stay tuned or follow me on Twitter to keep updated.
Have you tried any of these products? What did you think? Did you receive a Violet Voxbox? What was in yours?
Oh I love those face masks they're really good and so inexpensive!
They dried out my face. I can see how they would work for some people, though. The consistency of the mask is very rich.
I'm curious about this dry shampoo! Do tell!
I might write a review on it soon. Honestly, I havent even tried it. I didnt use to like dry shampoo because I felt like it didnt work on me, but I figured out a way to make it work for me, and I have so much of it now!
It was perfect for a New Year's Day look that I did last year! I have a swatch of it on my Instagram (https://instagram.com/p/ikMOvkndE6/?taken-by=extraextravagant), but I think it'd look much better with a blue or black base.
It dried out my face unfortunately. I liked the consistency of it, but it just didn't work for me. I have very sensitive skin, so most products don't usually deliver results on me.
It was alright. It's not my favorite since it had a strong, slightly unpleasant smell, and it left marks on my hair, but it did work at keeping my hair from getting greasy, so there's that.

Home \ Blog \ focus \ Is Introversion Holding You Back from Speaking?
Some of the most powerful speakers are introverts.
Perhaps you’ve already heard of introvert Susan Cain or seen her TED talks about her book, Quiet. She is a powerful speaker and so are other introverts. President Obama, Matt Lauer, David Letterman, Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters all speak and respond well. In the tech world Jonathon Colman has been making a name for himself as a presenter. Female minister, Deb Potts has as well. But in their private lives they self-identify as introverts. Nonetheless, they each realize the purposefulness public speaking offers them and some have written to motivate other introverts, like themselves, in the freeing nature of public speaking.
Having a similar experience, I, too, have made it my mission to help introverts speak with confidence, positioning my support toward the 64% of attorneys, who on average are introverts. I know what being held back from speaking does – it limits our effectiveness, weakens our resolve and sends a message that we are less than capable.
That message couldn’t be farther from the truth.
We introverts have incredible value to those around us, starting with our thoughtful approach to processing information, to understanding ourselves as well as reflecting on to clarify meaningful concepts. Just like extroverts, we are wonderfully designed to be of value. First for ourselves as we continue our reflection, study and desire to understand the world around us. Secondly to others as we speak to share our reflections and request it of others. This is how we fulfill the gospel of our usefulness.
Is introversion holding you back from public speaking? The answer needs to be no.
I used to hold myself back when I started out as an entrepreneur. I was afraid to learn sales, thinking it would make me offensive. I avoided networking, thinking I would be pushing myself on others. Just like with public speaking, when I focused on myself, I got nervous and doubted my abilities. But when I looked out and connected to individuals around me, I was able to relax into enjoying meaningful experiences. I could more easily discuss how my clients reached out to me because of issues they had and how they enjoyed hope and confidence afterwards. My speaking shifted from being uncomfortable and offensive to being meaningful.
Whenever I shift my focus to those I could help instead of to myself as an incapable speaker, I am freed. Interestingly as a result, my speaking abilities improve and I live my two-fold purpose.
Don’t let introversion hold you back from public speaking. I promise you that you, too, can experience the freeing power of public speaking, and of purpose. Decide to shift your focus from yourself to those around you and speak.
Continue to be thoughtful about your topic.
Connect to one person while sharing a thought. Look at someone else when you’re ready.
See the value of being where you are at that particular time by speaking up and letting others do the same.

Hey, that tastes good!: Berries and alcohol, together in a pie.
Berries and alcohol, together in a pie.
Apparently I'm feeling crazy lately. With good reason, I'm having a hard time with a lot of things that are going on, including the possible death of my laptop. I won't hear for another two or three weeks (!!!) about whether it's going to be saved or not. I'm so depressed. Also, I can't stop thinking about pie. I mean, seriously. Almost everything I eat I wish was pie, with the exception or a fantastic lunch today at Fork where I had salmon that melted in my mouth like butter, among other delicious things. I tried making a pie yesterday out of interesting things I found in the kitchen, but I failed. I've never failed at pie before. It was sad. The good news is that I tried again today, and triumphed! I wanted to make this post for St Patrick's day yesterday, but oh well. Do you really need an excuse to eat a pie that has liquor in it?
I used my almond tart crust for this pie, since I didn't want to roll anything out (really, I'm so lazy) with a few changes. I used 1 c almond meal and 1/2 c rice flour mix instead of 3/4 of each and I added a Tbs of teff. This makes a fairly runny pie because of all the liquid, so maybe don't serve this to guests wearing light colored clothes.
Preheat oven to 350. Toss berries with cornstarch and vanilla, let sit 15 minutes. Combine brandy and sugar in a small saucepan and simmer about 10 minutes. Gently pour half of the brandy mixture over the crust, then spread the berries and their juices evenly over the crust. Pour the rest of the brandy mix over the berries, then bake 25 minutes until berries are soft. Cool pie well before serving. This, like all pies, is delicious with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
It is hard for me to tell, If I have a different pan I just wanted to make sure I adjust the ingredients.
It looks delicious, I have made your almond crust before and that recipe is a definite keeper.
Wow..that looks good. Love the idea of the brandy in there. Very nice blog!
Mia- it's a regular tart pan, 11 inches in diameter. (I use this pan- http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90029886) If you're using a deeper dish, like a regular pie plate, you can increase the berries because the dish will be able to accommodate more liquid without spilling over.
Love the pie. It's really similar to the berry pie I made for my boyfriend's family at christmas, which was oh so delicious.
I love pie! I love berries! I love alcohol! This sounds like a great recipe. I wonder if adding more flour to the berries would make it more firm? Maybe sticky rice flour?
Hope your laptop pulls through!
hi jill, just letting you know i linked to this recipe today. happy spring!
I am so jealous over your constantly AWESOME photographs... you rock woman!! beautiful beautiful beautiful berries!!
Sometimes I have pie days too...then I usually end up eating pie all day.
I sure love a good brandyberry pie!

When we look into the skies with our eyes, we see in the visible spectrum. Although objects can look beautiful, it’s only a fraction of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. To really see and understand the Universe, you’ll want to look in different regions of the spectrum. The three great observatories: Hubble, Spitzer and Chandra, have teamed up to spotlight the Sombrero Galaxy (aka M104) in three different wavelengths.
The Chandra view is in X-rays, and reveals a diffuse glow of emissions extending 60,000 light years from the centre of the galaxy. Astronomers think this extend glow occurs from a powerful galactic wind spreading away from a series of supernovae that exploded in the bulge and disk. The Hubble view is in green, and reveals what we can see in the visible spectrum. The starlight is partially blocked by a rim of dust surrounding the galaxy’s outer edge. With Spitzer in infrared, we also see the rim of dust, but much more detail into the central bulge of stars at the middle of the galaxy.

Simon, no matter how hard you pretend to answer my initial questions, you haven't. No matter how low you stoop to insult me, you haven't. What a laugh.
Don't know what your question was, since it seemed to make some straw man arguments about what I hadn't said. I do know that I have asked you the same straight question several times tonight: how many cups of coffeeee have you made for employees of IBM today? It's a reasonable question, why can't you answer it?
Reread post 1102, no need to respond, you've more than given me my answer.
Sh!t you really don't read and or listen do you?
And the body modulates Kleg according to surface stiffness (Kshoe + Ksurface) to obtain a near constant COM trajectory. So.... if I jump off a wall and land on the concrete below with my legs locked out..... If I land on the same surface from the same height, but bend my knees.... Now, if I jump from the same height and land on a softer surface I don't need to bend my knees relatively so much to arrive at the same impact forces that I achieved with either of the previous two examples. Is it better to run with straighter legs or more bent legs? Which will be more metabolically efficient? What does the research tell us? Does it tell us that performance is enhanced with running on stiffer surfaces or more compliant surfaces?
Simon, with respect to your questions, what does the research tell us about injury rates in running?
Simon, lets stick to the point I am making. You asked Mr. Sicknote to produce research and references to support his claims and I am simply pointing out that you also lack research and references to support your own claims.
The best you could do is reference two studies, one makes the statement "and injury rate MIGHT be reduced". The second reference states "and injury rate is POTENTIALLY halved". Not exactly conclusive, are they?
It simply proves my point, you got nothin so get off your high horse. You confirmed that when you lowered yourself to making coffee attacks. I understand why you were reduced to making personal attacks, what I don't get is coffee? Is that a generalization about a certain ethnic group or something? Please help me out with that one.
As far as jumping off a wall onto concrete, you are making a big stretch in comparing that to running. If you listen to Kevin Kirby, then you would want to jump of the wall and land on your heels like he claims the majority of runners supposedly do. I don't know how high your wall is but I would speculate that if it is high enough and you land on concrete on your heels, the outcome would not be good, I don't care how much you bend your knees. Maybe Kevin could jump off a 10 foot wall onto concrete landing on his heels to see what happens.
As far as landing on your heels, the 80% statistic Kevin uses is a bunch of crap lifted from a bogus study. The study visually observed runners at a given point in a race and recorded the results. Give me a break or is it, give me a coffee break.
Well hasn't this got zesty!
I'm surprised to see you on this one as well Simon. Not your usuall bag.
What does the research tell us about crawling naked over broken glass?
I am simply pointing out that you also lack research and references to support your own claims.
The problem with claims is that sometimes people claim that other people have made claims which they never, in fact, claimed. Thus they can claim that the claims of the other are unsupported claims when in fact, no such claims have been made. I think it would be worthwhile if the people claiming the claims of the other are unsupported, specify which claims they meant, moving the whole discussion onto the ground of clams being independant of any party. Then they (the claims claimed to have been claimed) can be addressed individually rather than collectively as "your claims", a term which one could right claim to be unsupportable as they would incorperate the corperate claims (or the claims some CLAIM to be corperate claims) which a group might claim another group subscribe to.
I hope I've managed to bring some clarity to the debate.
You haven't read the two papers I referenced have you, Dana? Two sugars in mine please, thanks luv.
I get the gist from some people that believe research methods, statistical analysis & wearing "optimal" footwear in the future (1000 years time) will cure foot injury?. That will never be the case.
I also recently broke my 4th metatarsal wearing the VFF. I have been wearing them for 6+ months, about 50 miles per week… and then the pain showed up on an everyday run. I didn’t land on it funny or anything.
You broke your 4th metatarsal wearing VFF?. Nooooooo, who would have guessed?. You were only running through the pain. 2 thumbs up.
Did anyone hear me say the word "common sense"?.
Something this guy clearly lacks. Back off the mileages, build up the tolerance & strength levels.
I get the gist some people seem to think research methods, statistical analysis & wearing "optimal" footwear in the future (1000 years time) will cure foot injury?.
True. And Walking barefoot does not ACTUALLY give your immune system a steady supply of electrons boosting your immune system so you never get sick, so you got that WELL wrong.
Its annoying when someone takes something said by somebody unrelated to you, Hyperbolises it to the point of absurdity, represents it as your views then disagrees with it with an air of smug superiority wouldn't you say?
Barefoot runners ALSO all believe in fairies. Mugs.
So the runners who decide to run through pain, lack common sense, lack in training knowledge, overreach beyond there existing potentials, running overweight, lack vital nutrients to bone/muscle health ect etc etc etc... There all of a sudden immune to injury just because they he have "a massive understanding of research methods, statistical analysis & wearing "optimal" footwear".
You & Simon are living in cloud cuckoo land.
Sarcasm fail. I'll try using shorter words. Try to follow.
That is what we podiatrists like to call "**** you made up". Nobody ever said that.
Let me know if you struggle to understand any of what I just said.
Simon, another bad assumption on your part. I have read those papers. The Van Gent study scanned the PubMed - Medline databases to pull 17 studies, 4 of which where described as low quality. They looked at risk factors behind injuries across Systemic, Running/training, Health and Lifestyle. While injury rates ranged from 19.4% to 92.4% other than some relationship between, age, training quantity and knee injury, they didn't find much in the way of significant risk factors. In fact, the final recommendation of the study was: We recommend further well designed studies on risk factors for running injuries for male and female runners."
Gee Wiz, that study was helpful and had nothing to do with what you were talking about nor supports anything you have said. Apparently you threw it out there to see if I actually read the weak piece of work.
A year ago we spoke of the McMahon study which I also had read which talks about the influence of track compliance on running. The study focuses on the influence of compliance on speed and efficiency. Unlike the Van Gent paper, this actually has substance but it is NOT about injury rate. Lower injury rate is seen as a side benefit to a more compliant track. A year ago I mentioned I grew up in Boston was a track runner and at the time was not only familiar with McMahon's paper but with the actual track he developed. Did you ever see or run on the track he developed?
Did you possibly throw this paper out there as a distraction as well?
No problem Simon, I know that there is very limited research in the area of running form, shoe preferences and injury rate. I know that anything you try to produce will at best be only remotely related if at all. You can put up a smoke screen for new people on this forum but I've been around too long to know when someone is full of BS and when they are not.
Go have a cup of coffee or would that be tea?
And this is wrong because.......? You asked me what the research tells us about the injury rate in runners, I pointed you to a meta-analyses of injury rates in running. Thus, that's what the research tells us about the injury rate in running. QED. And you didn't like that because..... it suggests that injury rates among runners might be as high as 92%??? Thus, my contention that running is crap.
Now, do you agree that impact forces between two bodies during a collision are, in part, determined by the relative stiffness of the colliding bodies? Do you agree that the leg stiffness characteristics are modulated by the CNS in response to the surface stiffness? Thus, we cannot simply say that "cushioning" reduces impact forces. Since by adding cushioning at the surface and/ or shoe level has been shown in several studies (not just the Mcmahon study- which is highly relevant to the discussion BTW which is why I cited it) to result in an increase in leg stiffness. Viz. it's not quite as simple as increased cushioning = decreased impact forces- right, Mr know it all? Now, before you put your, "I'm a runner therefore I know everything about running" 2 cents worth in, that was the point of the discussion. So: wind your neck in, read what was said, loose the straw man fallacies and lay off the coffeeeeeee.
Where I was going with this, before I was rudely interrupted by you, was that the body modulates leg stiffness according to surface stiffness; but if the leg functions too stiff or too compliant due to the surface stiffness then injury may ensue. Read the references in the leg stiffness thread: http://www.podiatry-arena.com/podiatry-forum/showthread.php?t=46019 Here's a good review: http://www.udel.edu/PT/davis/stiffness_update.pdf This paper references a number of studies which suggest (yes, "suggest" because thats all the studies can ever do) that leg stiffness is related to surface stiffness and that leg stiffness is related to injury.

When it’s hard to predict what the jobs of the next 10 years will be — much less the next 50 years — acquiring the skills necessary to acquire skills is more important than the specifics of any given discipline.
For those jobs that will exist, experts say, the uniquely human skill of problem-solving is essential, rather than a specific major.
The old model of studying one thing is giving way to a need for broadly trained workers.
MidLaw is not yet ready to concede that job preparation is the ultimate objective of a liberal education. (Life preparation is.) But – MidLaw must not let the dimming perspectives of age and wisdom, blind it to what is happening now. The world turns. Seismic shifts shake the frontiers. Wisdom grows.
Who doesn’t want problem solvers? Who doesn’t want to be one?
Axios failed to mention The Guilford Edge. It should have. Guilford College is on target.
Guilford has designed new structures to ensure that students can identify learning pursuits that excite them. As they work on what interests them, the Edge ensures that students will acquire skills – the skills they need to pursue immediate interests, which are also skills that they will need to solve new problems in the future.
Guilford has put in place new kinds of teachers, advisors, guides, and coaches. They supplement traditional academic advisors. These include the innovative Guilford Guides (every student is paired with a specially trained personal “guide” who has an advanced degree in counseling) and teams of on- and off- campus advisors, employers, alumni, who will give structure and grounding to students’ experiences.
The Guilford Edge aligns uniquely with the programs of Guilford’s signature Center for Principled Problem Solving.
Guilford College is rethinking what it takes to transform 21st Century high school graduates into skilled, grounded 21st Century human beings.
Pretty old-fashioned, what? NOT. But some renovation is in order.
The new student experience at Guilford, called “the Guilford Edge” brings 21st Century thinking to the old mission. It’s re-gearing the College to bring to students new personal and developmental resources that match and support Guilford’s traditional academic strengths. In keeping with Guilford’s 175-year tradition, the student experience at Guilford will be tailored to each student, personally and one-by-one.
New facilities, new curriculum, new student engagement-and-support programs, are coming. First is re-imagining the buildings and grounds to hold and advance the new student experience. Already, new facilities are generating new energy.
Between now and Fall of 2019 the rest is coming.
UNC announces opening indoor football facility. Can’t help but wonder what Andy Griffith would have made of that.
This peerless aphorism has been concealed from me before now. All this time it was at Proverbs 25:11. (How clever they were to hide it in such a place.) Today a friend uncovered it for me.
I am releasing it to the wild.
In recent weeks I have learned that eggs are good for you. Eat them. Coffee is good for you. Drink it.
Drinking alcohol is bad for you. Even one drink. Orange juice is not great for you. And there is news about small-dose aspirin.
Myers-Briggs is not grounded in science. I like people after all. Who knew?
Has this news come too late?
I am a knight without armor in a savage land.
After a Quaker jury had found the woman innocent, Penn asked her “Art thou a witch? Hast thou ridden through the air on a broomstick?” To her affirmative reply, Penn answered that she had a perfect right to ride on a broomstick, that he knew of no law whatever against it, and ordered her discharged.
I worry about the friendly skies in our high tech future. A mess of Quaker witches and drones running into each other.

There are a number of possible major complications that can also occur. These are uncommon, however, your overall health will play a role in your likelihood of developing complications and your ability to recover from them. For example, patients with severe heart disease, diabetes, lung or kidney disease may have a higher chance of complications occurring than those who are healthier.
Depending on the individual situation, a major complication may lead to a longer hospital stay, a repeat surgery, or in infrequent cases, permanent disability or even loss of life.

Gaaah, that game is EVIL. I've got into seven different squares and I'm stuck on all of them. >< I am trying to learn American pop culture off Wikipedia, and I fail. Curse you.
My initial reaction to that last piece was something like this; Oh well done, Grauniad. GJ @ regurgitating the bullcrap about children being the sole responsibility of women. Why rearrange the world to make it easier to push the burden onto women? Why not force men to be responsible? Also GJ @ assuming that the lives of those rich superwomen in the sky have the slightest relevance to the rest of us. It seems less ridiculously slanted on a second readthrough - I think it was that initial 'family-friendly=woman-friendly' that set me off; if you believe those two topics ought to remain as closely linked as they are now, there is something wrong with you.
I'm in nine squares, but two of them are just impossible to guess from what I have and, gah, I've been learning magicians from wiki. Damn the evil, addictive game!
I thought the article was more single-mother orientated, but I got the impression she was implying that fathers deserve and should be encouraged to have the same flexibility at work as mothers. And I think that's a Good Thing.
I hear you on the 'family friendly=woman friendly' crap, though.

To me, summer is about a lot of things (eating outside, walks after dinner, blackberries, sleeping with the windows open...) but the biggest thing I look forward to each summer is hanging out near a body of water, be it a lake, the ocean, a river --- whatever it is, that is where I want to be. We are really lucky here in Santa Cruz: We've got the mighty Pacific at our doorstep, but also many creeks and rivers in the nearby mountains. This summer we've been playing in Fall Creek, Aptos Creek and the San Lorenzo River. Not quite so much ocean play due to the broken foot thing and not wanting to trudge around in sand in my boot, but hopefully the fall will be full of ocean adventures. We have not yet explored Loch Lomand either. Excited to get out on that body of water in a boat!
A big theme for me this summer is "getting into the wild" with Nia. Playgrounds are fun, but it is the wild areas where the real play happens, where the imagination really sparks. At the playground, Nia often needs me to play with her, which is fine, but it is so different when we are out in the forest or on the beach: There she is instantly skipping, jumping, singing, inventing games, etc. And she is very vocal about how happy she is. She often says, "It is so beautiful here, mama! Thank you so much for bringing me here!" And there are lots of hugs and kisses. Now, who would turn that down??
