COUPLES who cohabit before marrying are twice as likely to divorce than those who had lived apart before they made their vows, claims new research.
Lovebirds who move in together before getting married, may also have less happy and rockier relationships thantheir more traditional counterparts.
The study of nearly 1,500 American couples said cohabitees may choose "riskier" partners because they believe cohabitation is easier to end than marriage.
But the report suggested, "Once a couple is living together, the fact that they share possessions, pets and children, and have invested time in their relationship, may propel them to marry."
Researchers interviewed two sets of couples who married, either between 1964 and 1980, when cohabiting was less popular, or between 1981 and 1997 when it was more common.
In both groups, divorce was more likely for pre-wedding cohabitees, who also reported less happiness and more marital conflict.
Claire Dush, author of the findings, said, "It has been consistently shown in the past that, contrary to the popular belief, that living together will improve a person's ability to choose a marriage partner and stay married, the opposite is actually the case."
The study, The Relationship Between Cohabitation and Marital Quality and Stability by researchers at Penn State University in Pittsburgh, is to be published in the Journal of Marriage and the Family.
The findings revealed that "cohabitation was associated with an increase of 151% in the odds of divorce".
In the 1964 to 1980 group, 24% of individuals had cohabited prior to marriage.
This figure compared to 46% in the 1981 to 1997 category.
Divorce was more common among the 1981 to 1997 group, where chances of divorce were 90% higher.
The report added, "The results show that across the two marriage cohorts, spouses who cohabited prior to marriage had poorer marital quality and greater marital instability than those who did not cohabit."

What Follow Me on Monday offers you
This short course, Follow Me On Monday, is aimed to encourage us in our Christian discipleship in daily life and work. Our life in Christ has a rhythm of going out from and returning to the praise and sacramental worship of Sunday, expressing and exploring this within, and gathering it from, our life in the world. Our Christian calling is, quite simply and profoundly, to follow Jesus. He goes before us into our world and there we shall find him, as he promised. To this discipleship we bring the whole of us, all our faculties, all our senses in our thinking, our acting and our experiencing.
The five elements of the course are entitled: "Faithful Following", "Wholly Living, "Called to Partnership", "Raising our Eyes" and "Go in Peace".
The first element -"Faithful Following" roots us in the beginning as we find a fresh understanding of calling (our vocation to follow), and challenges us to move beyond some stereotypes that are attendant upon the idea of vocation.
The second element - "Wholly Living" explores the intimate relationship between wholeness and holiness with a view to discovering anew what a spirituality in daily life might be for ourselves. It summons us to move beyond the implicit (and sometimes explicit) divide been sacred and secular.
The third element -"Called to Partnership" addresses our understandings of work and all that occupies us creatively. This is about much more than "jobs and occupations" (where employment can be variously good, bad, hard to come by, transient). It is an invitation to explore discipleship in relation to whatever brings us fulfilment, self worth and thanksgiving.
The fourth element -"Raising our Eyes" reflects on the significance of transfiguration in relation to our discipleship in daily life. It encourages us to read afresh the story of the Transfiguration and to find its meaning for ourselves in putting paths of spirituality into practice. We reflect on what it is to see the presence of Christ in our midst (often unexpectedly), and to respond faithfully and creatively.
The fifth element -"Go in Peace" is taken from the dismissal at the Eucharist: "Go in peace to love and serve the Lord". It encourages us to reflect on our journey back to Sunday, gathering up all our experiences through the week, and on what it means to be the church in both gathered and dispersed mode.
Each element is structured in a similar way with interactive exercises and some guided reading to encourage creative individual-centred learning and sharing with fellow participants. There is an emphasis throughout on enjoyment and discovery.
We hope you enjoy this opportunity to explore your discipleship in daily life.

THE CAMBRIDGE Building Society, which employs 200 staff in 12 branches and stores in East Anglia, has become accredited with the Living Wage Foundation.
Cambridge City Council has been raising awareness about the benefits of the Real Living Wage to local businesses. Cambridge Building Society has previously attended events organised by the council to encourage new accreditations during Living Wage Week, which takes place in November each year.
Cambridge Building Society has made a formal commitment that will see people working for them receive a minimum hourly wage of £9 per hour, regardless of whether they are directly employed or third-party contractors and suppliers. The Building Society has a longstanding tradition of lending to thousands of Cambridge residents.
This rate is called the 'Real Living Wage' and is calculated independently to reflect the real cost of living in the UK.
Cllr Lewis Herbert, Leader and Executive Councillor for Strategy and External Partnerships, said: "It is great news that the council's Real Living Wage campaign has the enthusiastic support of a local Building Society that has been a key part of our city for nearly 170 years, and so all their loyal local customers know they pay a decent wage to all their staff.
"Cambridge Building Society will be joining 71 other employers in the city that are accredited with the Living Wage Foundation.
"The Cambridge Building Society is a really important organisation in our community, having been around since 1850 and being known for its charitable work. We are really pleased that it has joined this movement for fair pay, to set an example to other businesses in the city."
Peter Burrows, Finance Director at Cambridge Building Society said: "At The Cambridge we believe that employers have a social responsibility to their employees and to the wider community. Over the last 18 months we have taken steps to ensure that we are paying our people the Real Living Wage to pay them fairly for the work they do, so we are delighted now to be formally accredited with the Living Wage Foundation."
Jonathan Spence, Cambridge Building Society Chairman said: "I am delighted that The Cambridge has taken this step. I very much hope other employers in the city will be encouraged by this action on our part to do the same for all their employees."
Any employer interested in becoming accredited as a Real Living Wage employer should contact Helen Crowther, the council's Equality and Anti-Poverty Officer, on 01223 457046.

The National Park Service and its official Friends Group, the Timucuan Trail Parks Foundation, are proud to announce the four recipients of $500 research grants from the "Timucuan Preserve Student Research Grant Program." This is the second year of the program established through sponsorships at the annual "Timucuan Science & History Symposium" held in January 2014. Symposium sponsors include the Jacksonville University's Marine Science Research Institute; the University of North Florida President John Delaney; and the University of North Florida's Office of Research and Sponsored Programs.
"We were very impressed with the number of applicants this year and the quality of the proposals we reviewed. It is clear that our partnership with our area universities provides valuable insight to conditions of resources within the preserve and the opportunity to develop the next generation of conservation scientists," says Barbara Goodman, Timucuan Preserve Superintendent."
"We are very excited to be able to offer this grant program to support students so they can conduct research in the Timucuan Preserve. There is so much to learn about this complex ecosystem, ranging from the biological diversity to the vast historical significance this area holds," says Maria Mark, executive director of TTPF. "It is important that we, as the official Friends Group for our National Park, are a part of this program and to support this needed research. We are grateful to our 2014 sponsors, Jacksonville University and the University of North Florida. Next year, we're hoping to increase the level of sponsors so we can double the number of grants available, which are awarded in $500 or $1000 increments, depending on the sponsorship level."
To qualify, applicants had to be currently enrolled as undergraduate or graduate students and submit research project proposals. The purpose of the grant is to provide the student with financial support while conducting research. The four recipients are David Markus of the University of Florida; Taylor Montgomery and Lanie Peterson of Jacksonville University; Liliana Kolluri of the University of North Florida; and Ariel White of Jacksonville University. The final research report must be completed by December 31, 2014, and the students will present their work at the 4th Annual "Timucuan Science and History Symposium" on January 23, 2015.

A Case Study Determining the Effects of Hippotherapy on Developmental Dysarthria
Creators:Shover, Carrie
Advisor:McCauley, Rebecca
developmental dysarthria
Issue Date:2010-06
MetadataShow full item record
Publisher:The Ohio State University
Series/Report no.:The Ohio State University. Department of Speech and Hearing Science Honors Theses; 2010
Hippotherapy is an approach to equine assisted therapy (EAT) that uses equine movement along with physical, occupational, or speech therapy treatment strategies (Håkanson, Möller, Lindström, & Mattsson, 2009). In speech-language pathology, the few existing studies focusing on hippotherapy have primarily used subjective measurements such as questionnaires (e.g., Borton & Ogburn 2009). These studies suggested that children who participated in hippotherapy were believed (by their parents and others) to experience improved speech and language skills, increased motivation to attend therapy sessions, and improved self-concepts (Macauley & Gutierrez, 2004). Increases in vocalizations have also been noted in non-verbal participants (Lehrman & Ross, 2001). This study is a single participant case study designed to examine the immediate effects of four hippotherapy sessions on objective measures [i.e., respiratory strength, vocal intensity (loudness) and the mean length of utterance (MLU)] of a person with developmental dysarthria, where developmental dysarthria refers to speech abnormalities due to chronic weakness of the speech musculature. Because no appropriate participant was found in time for data collection to be completed, the study goals were changed to piloting of procedures.

Roving Pittsburgher Report, Scrooge A Hit on and Off Stage
by Good News Reporter, Joanne Quinn-Smith
with additions by Anaiyah Thomas
Have you ever thought about the story line behind "A Christmas Carol" from a pre or grade-schoolers point of view? While as adults or even adolescents or teens, we think it is an amazing feel good tale of repentance and salvation and find the detestable Scrooge to often be comical. But remember that part of the story is about his partner Marley "haunting him" in chains with eerie noises. Well this year while perusing the resurrected Macy's windows and after trying to get her to watch A Christmas Carol on television, my granddaughter seemed to show some interest, in fact excitement. She was fascinated by the window treatment of the CLO "A Musical Christmas Carol."
So on Friday, December 5, 2015, her mom got her dressed in an adorable dress and jewelry and off we went to see what has become one of Pittsburgh's Christmas traditions with Tom Atkins as Scrooge. Here's an aside, did you know that not only is he a Pittsburgh native but he made his fame as an actor in the horror genre? Tom is also a Broadway actor but in Pittsburgh he is "Scrooge" at Christmas time and he does the role well and is one of Pittsburgh's most beloved characters during the holiday season, 2015 being his eighth year running to play the role. What a role for an actor as he goes from his Bah! Humbug! attitude to a joyous reveler and philanthropist. There is an opportunity for Atkins to play everything in between and he does it with passion and lets you know he is having fun doing it.
For those of you who have been hiding under a rock for years and do not know this is the plot line. Scrooge is pretty much the meanest, most loathsome, feared, despised and ridiculed man in town who does not believe in fair treatment of his employees, Christian charity, human kindness or even giving a day off for Christmas to his employees. Eventually convinced he retires to his lonely room to contemplate the ridiculous custom of Christmas with all its trappings including caroling, not giving a thought to his kind employee Bob Cratchet with his barely existing family of five children and the sickly Tiny Tim. The fates descend upon Scrooge in the night with a last ditch effort at redemption starting with visits from his former, equally odious partner, Jacob Marley and running through three ghosts of Christmas. The resulting story telling leads to emotional action and dialogue running from pathos to mirth, but always entertaining.
There are too many delightful characters to .mention all but in addition to Scrooge of course, my granddaughter and I had a couple of favorites. Terry Wickline plays the dual role of Mrs. Dilber, Scrooge's toddy tipping housekeeper and Mrs. Fezziwig, the bubbly, bounteous wife of the town socialite; good cheer reveler and generous business man. She wisecracks and totters through the role of Mrs. Dilber with a vaudevillian style that will have you laughing out loud. As Mrs. Fezziwig she plays a delightful airhead full of energy and fun and you have no doubt that her party invitations are the most sought after in town.
Her husband is played by Tim Hartman who has multiple roles as Charity Worker/Businessman/Mr. Fezziwig/Ghost of Christmas Present). This is his 23rd year in Pittsburgh CLO's A Musical Christmas Carol. His tall stature alone makes him stand out but he rolls through his various characters so distinctively that it leaves you wondering "was that the same guy who played…?" As Mr. Fezziwg he is madcap and merry and a master of slapstick humor. He is imperious and almost Shakespearean as the ghost of Christmas Present, then humble and endearing as a charity worker. My granddaughter Anaiyah thought it was hysterical when he came out of the crowd for one of the final scenes and leaned over to one of the audience to say, "You can wake up now, it's almost over."
These holiday events are made for memories and one of Anaiyah's best will always be a chance encounter on Sixth St. with Tom Atkins. As he was walking by, he leaned over to say, "Did you like the show?" Of course she was bubbling over with enthusiasm, he then said, "I played Scrooge. Hey how about a hug, sometimes Scrooge needs one because nobody likes him." After she recovered her surprise, she said, "Grandma, you should have taken my picture with Mr. Scrooge." Yes grandma should have but she was equally surprised and she was lagging a bit behind this enthusiastic seven year old. But Anaiyah will always have that memory of a warm and friendly Pittsburgh/Broadway actor who stopped her on the street to bring a warm moment down from the stage. She could of course, not wait to tell her Mom and Dad when they picked us up that she met Scrooge.
We did however immortalize our day by having our picture taken complete with hat and scarves on the Christmas red carpet. I suggest both couples and families do the same to preserve this memory.
Lots of time left to create this memory with a musical show that has something for everyone. The show runs at the Byham Theater through December 23, 2015.

LAHORE - Like other parts of the globe, International Labour Day was observed across the country on Wednesday to renew pledge for protecting rights of workers.
Different political and labour organisations' particularly the labour wings of political parties and professional bodies organized seminars, rallies and walks to pay tribute to labourers who sacrificed their lives in Chicago for their rights. On May 1, 1886, several workers were killed in Chicago while demanding eight-hour workday instead of 12-hour. In Pakistan, seminars, workshops and walks were arranged both at the government and private level to mark the event.
Bonded Labour Liberation Front Pakistan (BLLF) arranged a seminar at Al-Hamra to mark the day. Addressing the participants, Speaker Punjab Assembly Rana Iqbal said that the PML-N government launched projects for the welfare and betterment of brick kiln workers. He said that workers would be given social security cards and other due rights if the PML-N comes into power again. He distributed 11 social security cards among brick kiln workers.
BLLF General Secretary Syeda Ghulam Fatima condemned the attitude of some brick kiln owners and behavior of police towards workers. Brick kiln workers should unite themselves for the bigger cause of getting due rights, she said. She said that minimum wage was Rs. 665.80/ 1000 bricks but owners were violating labour laws and keeping their workers underpaid.
Dr Yasmin Rashid said that problems of brick kiln workers were complex and unknown to most of the politicians. She vowed to fight for rights of workers no matter PTI comes into power or not. She further said PTI's priorities were provision of health, education facilities to every Pakistani and improvement of law and order. She said brick kiln children would get free and quality education just like any other Pakistani.
IR Rehman congratulated brick kiln workers and BLLF for progressing towards achieving set goal. He said it was a long journey but achievable target if all the workers and organizations working for brick kiln workers stay united and focused. He said Bonded Labour Abolition Act 1992 has been made through but the law has never been implemented in its real sense.
Director South Asia Partnership Tahseen said 'we have gone through hard time, but now the time is near when children of brick kiln workers will be getting free education'. Workers are struggling since independence but the good news is that now workers have organizations like BLLF, he said
Programs Manager Mahar Safdar Ali stressed upon close liaison between workers organizations and the government to abolish bonded labour. He said under leadership of BLLF brick kiln workers have achieved major targets that include processing of CNIC's, trade unions, registration of brick kilns and implementation on minimum wages.
Brick kiln workers Ghulam Serwar, M Iqbal and Sardara Begum also addressed the participants.
The National Student Federation (NSF) and Peoples Democratic Front held a rally from Nasir Bagh to Punjab Assembly on Wednesday to mark the Day.
Waving red flags and having banners inscribed with slogans in favour of labours, participates marched on The Mall and the rally culminated at Faisal Chowk. They chanted slogans against the ruling elites and bourgeoisie class.
The rally was led by NSF central organizer Sabir Ali Haidar and Mushtaq Ahmed. Addressing the participates, they said: "Presently, labour class has been living in worst condition even than the 1886. Capitalists and feudal are sucking the blood of labour and the exploitation is on its peak.

My Agency
Creative branding agency, My Agency sought a Content Management System (CMS) that would enable them to maintain content on their website efficiently, simply and by non-technical editors.
Defacto was selected from the many available on the market primarily due to its ease-of-use. Having been created by a team of CMS and user interface experts, Defacto was crafted to make managing website content easy.
Following a full redesign, My Agency commissioned Nomensa to translate their designs into templates to then integrate into Defacto.
As a branding and design agency the final look of the website was crucial and consequently, specifics of the overall design, for example font, were placed with high importance. To cater for this, custom elements were created in Defacto to ensure that the precise My Agency branding was applied throughout the website.
The workflow system of Defacto means that My Agency's senior web staff, "reviewers", can check all content that "authors" have edited before it is published to the live website. The Defacto dashboard or 'home' which appears after login, provides information on content that has recently been published and is pending review. This is useful for both reviewers and authors as it provides an overview of the status of content.
With a non-technical team, My Agency selected Defacto as their back-end system primarily due to its ease of use as it is built specifically for non-technical users. With Defacto, in as little as 3 clicks of the mouse, new content can be live on the web.
The My Agency team are now committed to keeping their website content fresh and new and now have a efficient and easy way of doing so. The team are now organised into reviewers and authors, and have a workflow in place that enables them to publish a high standard of content.
Training was provided to the full My Agency web team to ensure they get the most out of Defacto and the functionality is provides. With a web team with little technical knowledge, Defacto is a great fit for My Agency, providing them with the freedom of editing their website to a high standard without the need for detailed technical knowledge.
Additionally, having previously had a fully Flash website which struggled with Search Engine Optimisation, Defacto will assist the new website in producing content that is optimised to easily be picked up by search engines. Defacto automatically prompts users to create screen-reader friendly accessible content which means that not only will users of all abilities now be able to access My Agency's content but it will also be more effectively optimised by search engines.

Whether the goal is to clean out the garage, read a book, get to the gym and work out every day, or do those taxes, we've all found ourselves using the excuse "we don't have time" and pushing it aside for later, when we think we'll magically have more time. This TED talk is a useful reminder that it's not necessarily because you don't have enough time; it's that the thing you want to do is just not important enough for you to want to do.
If you find yourself letting time and things slip away from you daily, you need to know the difference between urgent and important work and ruthlessly prioritise. Watch the full video to feel inspired to take back control of your time.

Our basketballers were crowned South Tyneside Champions at Sport Central, Newcastle on Friday night.
A well contested semi-final against Stanhope went agonisingly to penalties, after several near misses in normal time. Penalty practice paid off though, as Jude Hill sent us through to the final from the free-throw line!
The final was played at half-time of the Newcastle Eagles match in front of huge crowd, against a talented East Boldon team. However, the St. Bede's players put in a scintillating team performance; to emphatically win 8-0 as we found our shooting accuracy, combined with our slick team play. Captain Will Watson scored and Jude Hill claimed a memorable Sport Central hat-trick. But it was very much a complete team effort, as we still
have not conceded a basket this season.
During the presentation, it was wonderful to see the team's smiles as they lifted the Hoops4Health trophy. They will now go on to represent our borough in the North of England Finals.
I couldn't have been prouder of the players on Friday for their great team play on a big stage. In recent weeks, many Y4 and Y5 children have continued to enjoy playing basketball at lunchtimes, which has helped to raise the team up to such a high level.
Thank you to everyone who supported the basketballers at Sport Central, on a quite brilliant evening!

Crab Creek
Phil May and Andrea Twigg
Sun 20 Oct 2013 15:54
Our new generator rotor finally arrived and I arranged for it to be delivered to Wolfgang Reuter, the local OCC officer who agreed to take delivery for me. Wolfgang has a house on Crab Creek which is just a few miles from Annapolis. So on Tuesday 15 October we upped anchor and motored into Annapolis to pick up some fuel before heading to Crab Creek.
Everything went smoothly until it came to leaving the fuel dock, at which point the port engine refused to start. We couldn't stay on the fuel dock so we headed over to Crab Creek on one engine until I could take a look. Nothing I could see was wrong with the fuel delivery so it had to be a problem with the fuel injection itself. Time to call in the experts.
The guys from Vosbury Marine came round on Thursday and immediately diagnosed the damaged speed sensor (that controls injection timing). Unfortunately what they think damaged the speed sensor was the vibration damper breaking up and throwing pieces around the inside of the flywheel casing. And apparently, from the noise it is making, the same thing in about to happen on the starboard engine. (I thought it was just the cutlass bearing needing replacing).
Bottom line is that we are here for a couple of weeks until the engines can be repaired. This involves removing the transmission and jacking up the block in order to get the flywheel casing off and access the dampers.
Still, crab Creek is a beautifully sheltered anchorage and we are getting a lot of jobs done on the boat while we wait. Wolfgang and Gemma are generous hosts, letting us borrow their second car when we need to get to town, and Wolfgang has offered me the use of his power tools so I can sand down and refinish our deck table.
The sun is out once more now the boat show is over. The trees have started to show their autumn colours. There are a lot worse places to be marooned. Fingers crossed the weather doesn't get too much colder here in Maryland.
Crab Creek is a good place to learn stand-up paddle-boarding (provided you don't fall in)
It is a beautiful setting
The trees are starting to turn
Saggy davits, just one of the things we hope to fix while waiting for the engines. (Andrea says it is an age thing.)

NEW YORK — It's cleaner these days, the engine purrs instead of growls, whispers instead of belches, does not emit a black cloud from its exhaust.
Most of the world has it in just about any model they want, so why the hell is diesel such a hard sell in America?
I took a road trip to ponder that question: East Coast to West Coast, 13 days, more than 4,800 miles, driving nothing but four beautiful diesel models of Audi.
I was accompanied by 183 other journalists from such far flung ports as Japan, Colombia, Germany, France, Australia (crazy bastards those Australians, donning Elvis outfits in Memphis, cowboy duds in Texas) and beyond. Audi provided the cars and the accommodations along the way. Four waves across America, different routes. We did them all. GlobalPost does not go anywhere to lay up.
We quickly put the canyons of Manhattan behind us, the financially darkened towers of Wall Street a glimpse in the rearview mirror, headed first to the white marble magnificence of Washington, where a new President, offering hope, has already said the auto industry needs to clean up its act.
The Audi Mileage Marathon made stops in such places as Washington, Cleveland, Chicago, Memphis, Dallas, Amarillo, Denver, Durango, Sedona, Las Vegas, Mammoth Lake, Monterey, and finally Santa Monica.
The mission was two-fold, Audi saying to the foreigners, many from countries where diesel is dominant: Here's America. Why isn't diesel popular here?
And to America: Here's clean diesel. Shouldn't this be popular here?
It was an introduction to the enduring global romance of American exploration to this group of foreign journalists, a first viewing of the vastness of America.
They got to see the kaleidoscopic way in which America changes from the urban and industrial east — ugliness of the upper New Jersey Turnpike, and on to maligned Cleveland, keeping the rusting steel cities of Pittsburg and Detroit to our north, the Big Shouldered city of Chicago, and edging on toward the Mississippi River, Beale Street and the Blues heart that will beat forever in Memphis. And after that, the vast sprawl and rocky promontories of the American West.
The Audi plan was to show Americans that diesel passenger cars can be quiet, clean, and incredibly fuel efficient — a big step from the early '80s when diesel cars from Oldsmobile and Cadillac rumbled down the streets and their black and noxious emissions choked off any hope of their own survival.
Audi, will gradually move its models, as they comply with standards, into the U.S., beginning this year with the Q7 SUV. It calls its engineering TDI (Turbocharged Direct Injection).
BMW, Volkswagen, and Mercedes-Benz, all of whom shared development with Audi, call theirs, respectively: BluePerformance, TDI, and BlueTec.
At our New York launch, Johan de Nysschen, Audi executive vice president for America, asked drivers and gawkers who had gathered in Central Park, "What better way than to introduce, at the grassroots level, the great benefits of this technology — phenomenal fuel consumption and minimal impact on the environment?"
Indeed, any time we stopped in some small town, or we departed big city or resort hotels in the morning or arrived at them in the evening, the curious were drawn to the cars, especially after a few days on the road and gas mileage figures — lowest around 30 mpg, highest topping 50 mpg — were plastered to our rear windows.
I was driving the big SUV Q7 on the first leg. Using no tricks (yet) from the world of "hyper-miling" — a sometimes compulsive, sometimes dangerous effort to save fuel — I managed more than 30 miles per gallon between New York and Washington, and that was leaving New York in morning traffic, enduring a one-hour wait at a crash scene outside D.C., and entering the city in the clotted flow of evening rush hour.
And later, the 44.8 miles per gallon record figure affixed to the back of the Audi A4 3.0 TDI would be posted by Team GlobalPost (after we'd resorted to a few safe tricks).
We'll recount the journey in two parts, adding a bit more technical data on diesel toward the end of the trip.
But for now, let's ask, "What's so special about these new diesels?"
First, they are the first that eventually will be sold in all 50 states — meeting even the stringent standards of states such as California, Massachusetts and New York, where diesel cars had previously been banned.
Second, these are ultra-low emissions vehicles. meaning they emit 50 percent less polluting emissions than the average for all cars sold here in any year.
And third, let's talk range. Rolling distances of 500 miles where barely half a tank of fuel is burned. On many city-to-city hauls on this trip we did well over 400 miles and didn't even reach the halfway mark. This was all done in truly mixed driving: rush hour traffic many mornings and evenings, traffic tie-ups on interstates, roaming through small towns on the veins and capillaries that sprout from the arteries of the Interstates. Not all roads were paved, we'd hit blinding rain on some days, be delayed by icy roads in the Rockies, bake in the sun of Death Valley and the Mojave Desert.
Which brings me back to Memphis, hard on the banks of the Mississippi, where I picked up a driving partner perfectly suited to join me in setting the A4 record. Hey, there's nothing wrong with having an Audi engineer as your co-driver. Meet Thomas Kamla, who taught me a few tricks about the car (a few extra pounds of tire pressure, shutting down the engine at stop lights, aerodynamics) and I pointed him to a few as well: no air-conditioning, coasting down long hills, "drafting" big trailer trucks on the open highway. And no, not drafting as in racing, where you go bumper to bumper to get into the "clean" air close behind the car in front of you.
Our technique was simple and safe, since the clean air (you avoid aerodynamic drag because the truck is breaking trail for you) behind a truck is found well back. All we had to do was find a fast-moving truck, set our automatic cruise control to stay a fixed distance behind him, and watch the information screen to see our second-to-second mileage recordings climb by double digits.
So from Memphis, it was on to the rolling land leading to Texas, then up through the flat Panhandle, biting of a chunk of Oklahoma, and finally the flat giving way to the promise of the looming Rockies.
And, even though I was in a hi-tech Audi, I still felt a bit like a cowboy in the saddle as Denver sparkled ahead and the lines from a Willie Nelson song from the album Redheaded Stranger came to mind:
"The bright lights of Denver
"Were shinin' like diamonds,
"Like ten thousand jewels in the sky ... "
But then it would be up and over the Rockies, where the climb would hurt our fuel consumption, but the run down the other side would be a tremendous, long coast.
We had set the one-day record on this trip, and won the overall A4 competition with a Memphis-to-Denver average of 42.6 miles per gallon. The prize was bragging rights and a bottle of champagne. I took the bragging rights West.
I gave the champagne to a guy living in a big cardboard box on a sidewalk in Denver.
(This is the first of a two-part series: Tomorrow, drive with Royal Ford over the Rockies and on to the vast flats leading to the Pacific coast. And explore more questions about diesel — its cost, its viability, its potential promise.)

I give handmade books to friends and often they find them too pretty to use. I get frustrated by this. I'd much rather people use them and ask for more!
So I developed this line of books that are attractive and handsewn, but don't seem too precious to use.
The covers are plain cardstock and the pages are at least 20% recycled paper. They feature exposed spine bindings in various colors of thread.

This Four-Letter Word Will Help You Tell Better Stories
This is a G-rated post, I promise.
We'll get to the word in a minute—first, let's talk about why you desperately need it.
If you're in the business of writing, you need stories to tell. Whether you write feature articles, customer case studies or executive bios, you need a story to keep readers engaged.
For writers, that's common sense. For anyone who's ever read anything, you know it's true.
But stories aren't always easy to find, even for professionals who are trained to find them. I've been writing feature articles for more than 10 years, and I've conducted hundreds of interviews. Some of them are easy—these people are comfortable talking your ear off. I don't have to hunt for the story. They just tell me. Others, well, other people just don't know how to tell their most interesting stories easily.
So what does that mean for the writer?
It means we have to ask the right questions to get people to open up. We have to ferret out the remarkable, relatable and shareable tidbits that are worth reading. Whether it's easy or it's like pulling teeth, it's a writer's job to get people to tell us the real reason the story is worth anyone's time.
The Best Question to Ask
Before you even begin your interview, nix questions that start with "Do you…?" Don't allow someone to answer you with a yes or no. Any question that can be answered with one word is a dead end. The only reason a question should begin with "Do you…?" is if you need confirmation of a fact you already know.
Instead, ask open-ended questions. Get the person talking. Make them explain, describe and reveal. Not only do open-ended questions draw out lots of information, these questions will also guide the interviewee to the next part of the story.
So what's that four-letter word that draws out the best stories?
"When" questions prompt people to recount situations and reasons and realizations—the foundation of stories.
Take these, for example:
- When did you know you wanted to…?
- Tell me about a time when….
- When did you realize you needed to…?
These types of questions help people talk about what they know best. They were there. They did it. They remember it. They're comfortable with that story. And they'll tell you about it, if only you'll ask.
Now, imagine some of the answers you'll get:
- "Well, last year, it happened when…"
- "When I was only 7 years old…"
- "I knew I had to change my idea when…"
See how people begin to tell you the heart of the story if you ask "when" questions?
Then, when you have the framework for your story, follow up with "How did you…?" or "What prompted you to…?" or "Why do you…?" With these, you'll fill in the details behind the "when" to create the complete story.
I guarantee you'll have a successful interview, even with someone who's nervous or shy, if you incorporate "when…" in your lineup of questions.
Writers, what's your favorite question to ask during an interview?

Paula Hendrickson on July 20, 2015 at 12:20 pm says...corner
Good post, Ashley! One of my favorite words for interviews is "Why."
Why why, you ask? Because it gets the interviewees thinking and forces them to go one step further, not just stating the facts but explaining the reasons.
It probably goes back to the days when I was glued to the "thinking man's" cop drama, Homicide. Pembleton was the detective known for breaking suspects into confession only needed to know the who and how of each case. (The where and when were usually pretty obvious.) His partner Bayliss always wanted to know the why, which drove Pembleton crazy.
Anne Wayman on July 20, 2015 at 12:40 pm says...corner
I also like 'how,' How did you get there (either a place or a conclusion) and how did that happen, etc.
Ashley on July 20, 2015 at 1:16 pm says...corner
Paula and Anne — I like those questions too. The more details, the better. I've also found that sometimes I have to ask the same question in multiple ways to get to the underlying answer. Thanks for stopping by!

Now that Halloween is behind us and the holidays are quickly approaching, I have been thinking about how to be more present with my family and friends. We all are pulled in so many directions with obligations that we put upon ourselves as well as the ones we just can't avoid. I know I try very hard to multitask and often find it makes me less efficient, sometimes confusing being "busy" with being productive. That can happen at work or home.
I recently had an awesome opportunity to be front row at a private concert with Sheryl Crow. It was an incredible moment to truly be so close I could have touched her sparkly cowboy boots! She and her band put on a phenomenal show and she sang her heart out. The part that got me thinking about being present was the very nice lady next to me who couldn't stop taking pictures, videos and Facebooking. There were multiple still and video selfies where she turned around and took pictures with "her and Sheryl" and then looked down to post on social media.
Even though I am a hardcore iPhone user myself I felt a little embarrassed for her as it was, in my opinion, a bit rude as it continued for most of the show. Being right next to her it took away from my experience and I couldn't help but feel sad that she was missing the moment in her attempt to preserve the moment later from a photo or video.
It made me realize that sometimes I have been guilty of becoming so immersed in our new technologies that I miss the actual moment I am
supposed to be living, whether with Sheryl Crow, at sporting event, or simply being with family. The memories live on in our minds and, while I did take a couple of photos and a short video, I feel the experience was rich and I needed to soak it in with my own eyes. I learned something that night and my "moment with Sheryl Crow" will always be there in my memories.
My new commitment…
Because of this experience I have committed to not watch my son's holiday performances through my iPhone, but rather through my eyes and my heart while watching what he does on stage. I have committed to enjoying my family at the holidays with of course some great fun pictures, but not in a way that takes away from the real memories versus the ones that are "Facebook worthy". I have committed to being present and in the moment and will remind myself how important this particular moment is, as I can't get it back even with a photo.
The memory is the moment and I will commit to being present. I share these thoughts with you because I think many of us let moments get away from us as we try to capture them with technology. Here's to you and your family during the holiday season and to being present!

Interesting Research on Treatments – Things You Probably Never Knew
Tips And Guidelines To Be Followed When One Wants To Find A Private Alcohol Treatment Center
If you have a loved one who is addicted to alcohol, the best chance at helping your loved one is to find an alcohol treatment center that is private that they can receive help and recover in order to stand on their feet again and to live a normal life. The only thing that a person needs to do so that we can be able to beat this kind of an addiction is to find the best facility or centre that will be able to treat them well in order for them to recover totally because there are people that have been able to defeat this kind of a disease before because it is a disease and there are people who have done it then your loved one can also do it.
It is very important for you to make sure that you have talked to your loved ones and also tried to convince them that the only option they have if they are addicted to alcohol is going to a private alcohol treatment centre because this is a disease that can't really destroy your life before you even know it especially if it is not taken care of as soon as possible. Instead of daily delaying and waiting when there are places that your loved one can be helped, just make sure to find a private alcohol addiction treatment center and then take your loved one there so that they may receive the treatment that they so desperately need that will help them leave as normal people again going about their day to day lives.
It is important to note that all alcohol treatment centres whether they are private or public usually treat their patients differently because all of them have different methods that have been approved when it comes to treating their patience and this is why you should put into consideration the way the private alcohol treatment centre treats its patients. Since you might have a couple of options of the private alcohol treatment centres that you might choose for your loved one it is very important for you to make sure that you have researched on the forms of treatment that they have and then determine the best one for your loved one.
The other thing that you should consider while looking for this kind of a facility is the quality of their services. If you want to know whether the centre that you will choose for your loved one has got some quality services then you will need to make sure that you have researched on it.

Truckee boutiques and streets to be lined with artistic talent during the 3rd annual Art & Soul event on Sept. 16
North Lake Tahoe is filled with artistic individuals crafting gorgeous, one-of-a-kind pieces brought to life from their own inspirations; and Truckee's rich history and mountain landscape makes it an inspiring place.
"The vision of Art & Soul came from wanting to celebrate our local Truckee-Tahoe-Reno artists and local downtown businesses," said Cassie Hebel, executive director of the Truckee Downtown Merchants Association.
This year marks the third annual Art & Soul event, and brings more than 40 artists to various locations throughout historic downtown Truckee for a day filled with art, entertainment and good people.
The artisan community represented at the event includes photographers, oil painters, jewelry designers, musicians, and culinary artists.
"We have such a strong cultural identity in Truckee, there's such a profound amount of talented people that TDMA wanted to celebrate them and this art walk is a perfect way of doing that," Hebel said.
Support Local Journalism
"It's not just a showcasing of art, either. You'll purchase your ticket, go inside the stores, meet the business owners, meet the artists, watch their demonstrations as they showcase what they do best," she added.
To highlight some additional features of this year's event, below are the top five exciting features locals and visitors can experience at this year's Art & Soul artwalk.
1. Celebrate Local Artists
Truckee has recently been named a cultural district of the state of California thanks to its rich history, art scene and natural landscape.
To celebrate the people who've created Truckee's culture, Art & Soul will feature over 40 artists stationed at various boutiques, and on the sidewalks downtown.
Artists will be performing their craft for guests to see in-person, rather than waiting on a showing of the finished product. Some demonstrations include pottery throwing, painting, jewelry making, mask making, and even contributing to a community painted collage.
2. Celebrate Truckee Businesses
Hebel said the TDMA is constantly looking for fun ways to introduce shoppers to the owners of their favorite stores in the area.
"This event is special because people can interact with one another, get to meet the owners of the businesses they love to visit, and get to foster a stronger sense of community," she said.
Throughout the event, guests don't merely stroll along the sidewalk, rather they are encouraged to visit the shops through different stops on their tour and network while they sip, shop, and enjoy incredible works of art.
3. Eat, Drink & Be Merry!
What is an art walk without fantastic food, drink, and music to go with?
This year's event will feature brews, including local Tahoe Mountain Brewery, Alibi Ale Works and FiftyFifty Brewing Co. among others. Wine stops include Truckee River Winery at Gratitudes Gift & Décor, Riverstone Jewelry and Wine, Art Truckee, Carmel Gallery, and Uncorked Truckee.
Art walkers can find small bites throughout food trucks and dining locations in downtown, which will also feature artists demonstrating their craft so you'll never miss out on the action.
4. Be Part of the Community
"Similar to Truckee Thursdays, this event is also about bringing people out into the community so they can spend locally, meet the owners and people at the event and be part of what happens in Truckee," Hebel said.
Truckee's downtown events put on by the TDMA are largely focused on creating a fun, family friendly environment for parents and kids to meet other locals and spend time enjoying our active community.
5. Support Arts for the Schools
A percentage of the event's proceeds will go to Arts for the Schools; an initiative Hebel says aligns perfectly with the cultural celebration.
"We love supporting Truckee/Tahoe and Reno's art culture and revival with locals and visitors alike, Arts for the Schools was a great choice for us because they, like us, believe access and exposure to the arts is essential for all," she said.
