I have to say my boys are all part fish, in order to be able to use the water slides and not be watched over by Me at the lifetime pool they have to do a swimming test which is swimming 25 meters without touching the wall, lane line or feet on the bottom of the pool, now Kodi took it the first time we went outside to use the pool, KK on the other hand did not I wasn't sure if he would be able to make it, but sure enough on our next visit he mastered that and was so very proud of himself.
He made good use of the slides that day and continues to excel in class, I had another parent check with me to really make sure he was suppose to be in his class Yes he is only 4 just a very big 4 year old.
Peyton still wears his floaty at times but is doing great he just moved up to the older class even though he is not technically the right age the aquatic manager gave us the Ok to move up. He has no fear and can already swim without me. I don't leave him alone in the pool or anything I am right there with him but he loves to jump and turn around and swim back to the side of the pool. He truly has no fear in the water.
Kodi is working on his dolphin kick and frog legs but he loves it. Once he has mastered those two skills he will be moving up to swim team. Both my boys want to so bad to swim on the team, I love it. With the Olympics coming they are super excited to be swimming and want to swimmers.

Summertime in MN
We have loved every minute here well at least the boys have I have been having harder time being here I am just plan ready to be stationed and have our family back together. We have another 6 months before that will happen but I am making the most of it here with my family. We have been keeping busy with playing with cousins going to the gym and enjoying being able to play outside in a much safer neighborhood. I love how my boys will just want to go out and play ride their bikes go in the tree house. I don't even have to say much about going out they just do, a very different from out home in VA.
I have been running alot and will be continue to run my long term goal is the Goofy race in January it's a half and full Marathon with a day in between which is why it's called the Goofy. I just did the Torchlight 5k last night and did my best time PR for me :) so happy I have 5 minutes to shave off my time to finish under 30 minutes.
The boys have loved their summer days of playing and swimming which we do alot of. We are either at the lifetime pool, beach or the hanus pool. KK is quite the swimmer he has passed this swim test at the club which was swimming 25 meters all by hiself without holding the sides or touching the ground. He now can go down the slides and swimming without me being right there. He is a little fish in the water. Peyton is also a fish he has NO fear of the water, will jump off into the pool or lake and just bounce right back up and swim back to me. He is ready for individual lessons but has to wait until he is 3 I am thinking of doing private lessons with him and KK. Kodi is almost to swim team he has to master frog legs for the breast stroke and breathing and will be able to move up to swim team as well. I love having swimmers it's not only a wonderful skill to have but a great workout. I was a swimmer and love it. I have started to swim again and realize how much I missed it.
Aaron will be able to come home again for Labor day and we are counting down the Fridays until the boys see him.

It's been awhile
It's been a while since I last posted things have been crazy at our house and I should be better at posting what is going on.
We had a wonderful Christmas and a Great New Year, Aaron and I ran the Beat the Ball 5k which was a blast, we started at 11:30 I was done just after midnight, Aaron finished in 29 minutes for him it was a good time he had been battling a cold and didn't feel well at all, but wanted to run anyway, our boys on the other hand were in bed and sleeping by 8 it made it an easy night for our wonderful Babysitter.
We still don't have any orders yet so we will try next month, we are truly blessed to have Aaron working in the Career Counselors office and they are working and making sure we get what we want. Right now he is at more training and has been doing great. We are very excited to be going back home to Minnesota for 3 weeks in March, Erica is getting married, Haleigh is getting baptized, Katy is having her baby and we are running the Lucky 7 and KK's 4th birthday Party. So much to stuff into three weeks but it will be great to be surround by our family again.
Peyton has been pretty healthy and hasn't needed to have another dilation which is wonderful it's been a year since his last one and he is doing great. He has started speech and he loves his therapist Liz, he is being seen twice a week, we are trying to get the in home speech program through the city so I don't have be out at therapy 4 times a week. He does qualify for it we just need to do the educational interview and than they will set up his speech in home.
KK is KK we finally took the boys into the eye doc and found that Kodi has great eye sight and KK has astigmatism so he has very cute glasses and loves that he can see. He is doing great on learning his colors and ABC's. He loves playing and of course watching TV. He is also 4 inches shorter than Kodi I believe that Kodi is 41 inches and KK is 37 or 38 inches tall. I have very tall boys. It's hard to remember that KK is only 3 and not older, soon enough he will be 4 and he is looking forward to his birthday.
Kodi is doing great he LOVES school and his teacher, he works hard and enjoys learning. He grades are great and he is working hard to do his best. His speech is coming along and he loves Tia his therapist, His OT is great he doesn't like that he has to miss school for OT and just wants this therapy with Rhonda to be shorter like Speech, but we do our best and he is coming along.
He is reading and loves it when he finds words he knows. I know that reading will be a harder task for him and we are doing our best to teach him and give him the tools he needs.
I hope to do more posting and be better at it.

Happy Birthday Dakota
Yes, we all know that time flies by as we get older, but it really does seem like yesterday that we brought our little son home from the hospital. He is now 6 years old. He is a joy in our life yes at times he is pushing my buttons and doesn't want to listen and with this SPD life gets hard but I wouldn't trade him in for anything.

So we finally got the heat wave the rest of the country has been feeling and man is it hot. We are totally crazy and decided yesterday we should visit the zoo. Yes totally crazy it was great since not alot of people were there but man was it hot out. The best part of the time was we actually got to see the two tigers out and playing. They played in the pool and it was so very cool. Usually they are either sleeping or you can't find them.
The boys played in the fountains at the zoo and we than looked for feathers from the Peacocks and went into the reptile rooms which was nice and cool. Over all we spent 3 hours walking around and drinking so much water. We stayed hydrated and we didn't get sick. The boys did a great job walking around and riding in the strollers.
We than came home and cleaned up the house and watched a movie night, we also watched a very cool lightening storm. Got a good amount of much needed rain and went to bed. It was over a very good day. I love our zoo it's small enough to walk around in about 2 hours and the boys love it. I took KK on Wednesday since Kodi was at a friends house and he loved being in charge of what we do. I want to do a lesson for them on the different animals they love.

Growing up way to fast
It seems that my kids won't stop growing, Peyton is getting big but at the same time is only in the 22% for his age my little bug is so small. Kingston is HUGE he is so tall, he come up to Kodi's chin. I have to remind myself he is only 3 and not 4 or 5. Kodi is also tall and skinny he is wearing 6/7 pants but the waist doesn't fit him.
Kingston is now potty trained and loves being a big boy. We are working on not fighting, so I came up with a sticker chart for the both of them and if it's full by the time our Disney trip comes in Sept than they will get to build a light-saber, which they are both excited for.
I seem to be getting older as well I can't believe it's that time again for my birthday and well when I was younger it seemed like "forever" for my birthday to come around again and now it takes no time at all my birthday to come again.
Yesterday was a great day, my lesson in primary was a Big hit with both senior and junior primary. Junior was into a little more than senior but either way we learned about the temple and how important it is to be sealed to your family.
I found a great idea on sugardoodle.net and used it. I had a picture of the temple under a blanket and told the kids it was a gift from Heavenly Father and they had to guess what it was. Once we figured out it was a the temple they told me why it this gift was so very important. Than I had a handful of kids come put and we made a family we had a and the kids linked arms and they had to walk around together they were "sealed" together. Of course jr thought it was so cool and Sr. well the it was " I don't want to touch girls" of course they were all good sports and did it anyway.
Next I had a ziplock bag and I put in "Lifesavers" the bag and told the kids it was their family and than I dumped the bag on the floor and the family wasn't together anymore. Picking up the family I put them back into the bag and "sealed" the bag shut tried to dump out the family again and couldn't because the bag was "sealed", I asked the kids if they wanted to be sealed to their family and made the kids bags of family and we sealed them up too.
So much fun, I loved being in primary and teaching the kids.

Wheel of Fortune airing The Fast and the Furious as a puzzle answer on its Monday show as "an unfortunate coincidence"
Paul Walker's tragic death is still fresh on the minds of his family, friends and fans.
So when Wheel of Fortune had The Fast and the Furious as a puzzle answer on its Monday, Dec. 2 show, it didn't sit well with a lot of viewers. But, according to the show's official Twitter account, this episode was pre-taped on Oct. 4 and it was "an unfortunate coincidence" it aired just two days after Walker passed away at age 40.
Host Paul Sajak tweeted that he "Feel(s) terrible about timing of 'Fast & Furious' puzzle tonight," adding that the episode, "Taped long ago & went out to 200 local stations days ago."
The show noted on its official Twitter account, that "The hearts of everyone at Wheel of Fortune go out to the family, friends & fans of Paul Walker."
And Walker's family, friends and fans—particularly his Fast and the Furious costars including Tyrese, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson and Michelle Rodriguez—are all grieving. The upcoming film in the franchise, Fast & Furious 7, had been filming in Atlanta prior to Walker's death, and according to the Hollywood Reporter, production on the film has been "delayed" but the project "won't be scrapped."
Director James Wan and executives from Universal pictures spoke on Sunday morning to discuss the future of the project, how to re-work the script and "how to proceed in a manner that would be respectful to Walker's death."
Fast & Furious 7 was expected to hit theaters July 11, 2014.

By receiving this fellowship, Brown will be able to explore successful strategies and practices of institutions and institutional agents at a historically black college that have proven successful in helping African-American men to matriculate. Brown plans to share these strategies and practices with administrators, counselors and other agents in all levels of academia to promote greater academic success for African-American male students in education.
The NBCC MFP will distribute a $20,000 educational award Brown and the 22 other doctoral-level counseling students selected to receive the fellowship.
The NBCC MFP is made possible by a grant awarded to NBCC by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in August 2012. The goal of the program is to strengthen the infrastructure that engages diverse individuals in counseling and increases the number of professional counselors providing effective, culturally competent services to underserved populations.

Murray Hill & New Providence, New Jersey, U.S., January 4, 2011 – In these tough economic times, poultry processors, already saddled with higher costs for ingredients, are looking for increased value in their processing operations. Linde North America, a leading supplier of cryogenic food freezing and chilling equipment, has just what they're looking for – unsurpassed value from state-of-the-art technology that will be featured at this year's International Poultry Exposition in Atlanta's World Congress Center, January 26-28 in booth #4955.
Linde North America, a member of The Linde Group, a world-leading gases and engineering company, will feature its newest hygienic cryogenic freezer – the CRYOLINE® XF spiral freezer, a high performance freezer for raw or cooked chicken breast, formed nuggets and patties.
"The new CRYOLINE XF spiral freezer is a significant step change in spiral freezer technology, delivering increased line production rates while lowering cryogen cost per pound of product," said Mark DiMaggio, head of food and beverage markets, Linde North America. "It is a novel freezer incorporating breakthrough proprietary spiral freezing technology."
The CRYOLINE XF freezer dramatically improves cryogen efficiency, while significantly reducing overall freezer size. The freezer provides twice the heat transfer rate of conventional spiral freezers making it a perfect freezing or chilling solution, with the ability to process a wide range of products and production volumes in relatively small floor space.
Linde will also be featuring its CRYOLINE CW hygienic tunnel freezer. This freezer is designed to freeze IQF (individually quick frozen) products, such as diced and sliced products, wings, mechanically deboned product and any other small items that tend to clump or stick to belts. The freezer uses a proprietary, rolling wave action that gently tumbles layered products to maximize yield by minimizing fines loss and locking in moisture, a distinct competitive advantage over conventional flighted freezers.
"The CRYOLINE CW tunnel freezer is state-of-the-art IQF freezing technology," said DiMaggio. "The dual-function freezer's patented, controllable, rolling wave action delivers the highest attainable IQF product throughput rate. The rolling wave action can also be turned off to change product application, such as freezing flat, trayed or formed products, providing flexibility for use."
The Linde Group is a world leading gases and engineering company with almost 48,000 employees working in more than 100 countries worldwide. In the 2009 financial year it achieved sales of EUR 11.2 billion (USD 15.3 billion). The strategy of The Linde Group is geared towards sustainable earnings-based growth and focuses on the expansion of its international business with forward-looking products and services.
Linde acts responsibly towards its shareholders, business partners, employees, society and the environment – in every one of its business areas, regions and locations across the globe. Linde is committed to technologies and products that unite the goals of customer value and sustainable development.

Byrd-Hagel Resolution Sponsored by Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) and Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) Expressing the sense of the Senate regarding the conditions for the United States becoming a signatory to any international agreement on greenhouse gas emissions under the United Nations... (Passed by the Senate 95-0)
[Report No. 105-54]
Expressing the sense of the Senate regarding the conditions for the United States becoming a signatory to any international agreement on greenhouse gas emissions under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
July 25, 1997
Mr. BYRD (for himself, Mr. HAGEL, Mr. HOLLINGS, Mr. CRAIG, Mr. INOUYE, Mr. WARNER, Mr. FORD, Mr. THOMAS, Mr. DORGAN, Mr. HELMS, Mr. LEVIN, Mr. ROBERTS, Mr. ABRAHAM, Mr. MCCONNELL, Mr. ASHCROFT, Mr. BROWNBACK, Mr. KEMPTHORNE, Mr. THURMOND, Mr. BURNS, Mr. CONRAD, Mr. GLENN, Mr. ENZI, Mr. INHOFE, Mr. BOND, Mr. COVERDELL, Mr. DEWINE, Mrs. HUTCHISON, Mr. GORTON, Mr. HATCH, Mr. BREAUX, Mr. CLELAND, Mr. DURBIN, Mr. HUTCHINSON, Mr. JOHNSON, Ms. LANDRIEU, Ms. MIKULSKI, Mr. NICKLES, Mr. SANTORUM, Mr. SHELBY, Mr. SMITH of Oregon, Mr. BENNETT, Mr. FAIRCLOTH, Mr. FRIST, Mr. GRASSLEY, Mr. ALLARD, Mr. MURKOWSKI, Mr. AKAKA, Mr. COATS, Mr. COCHRAN, Mr. DOMENICI, Mr. GRAMM, Mr. GRAMS, Mr. LOTT, Ms. MOSELEY-BRAUN, Mr. ROBB, Mr. ROCKEFELLER, Mr. SESSIONS, Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire, Mr. SPECTER, Mr. STEVENS, Mr. LUGAR, Mr. REID, Mr. BRYAN, Mr. THOMPSON, and Mr. CAMPBELL) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
July 21, 1997
Reported by Mr. HELMS, without amendment
July 25, 1997
Considered and agreed to
Expressing the sense of the Senate regarding the conditions for the United States becoming a signatory to any international agreement on greenhouse gas emissions under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Whereas the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (in this resolution referred to as the `Convention'), adopted in May 1992, entered into force in 1994 and is not yet fully implemented;
Whereas the Convention, intended to address climate change on a global basis, identifies the former Soviet Union and the countries of Eastern Europe and the Organization For Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), including the United States, as `Annex I Parties', and the remaining 129 countries, including China, Mexico, India, Brazil, and South Korea, as `Developing Country Parties';
Whereas in April 1995, the Convention's `Conference of the Parties' adopted the so-called `Berlin Mandate';
Whereas the `Berlin Mandate' calls for the adoption, as soon as December 1997, in Kyoto, Japan, of a protocol or another legal instrument that strengthens commitments to limit greenhouse gas emissions by Annex I Parties for the post-2000 period and establishes a negotiation process called the `Ad Hoc Group on the Berlin Mandate';
Whereas the `Berlin Mandate' specifically exempts all Developing Country Parties from any new commitments in such negotiation process for the post-2000 period;
Whereas although the Convention, approved by the United States Senate, called on all signatory parties to adopt policies and programs aimed at limiting their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, in July 1996 the Undersecretary of State for Global Affairs called for the first time for `legally binding' emission limitation targets and timetables for Annex I Parties, a position reiterated by the Secretary of State in testimony before the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate on January 8, 1997;
Whereas greenhouse gas emissions of Developing Country Parties are rapidly increasing and are expected to surpass emissions of the United States and other OECD countries as early as 2015;
Whereas the Department of State has declared that it is critical for the Parties to the Convention to include Developing Country Parties in the next steps for global action and, therefore, has proposed that consideration of additional steps to include limitations on Developing Country Parties' greenhouse gas emissions would not begin until after a protocol or other legal instrument is adopted in Kyoto, Japan in December 1997;
Whereas the exemption for Developing Country Parties is inconsistent with the need for global action on climate change and is environmentally flawed;
Whereas the Senate strongly believes that the proposals under negotiation, because of the disparity of treatment between Annex I Parties and Developing Countries and the level of required emission reductions, could result in serious harm to the United States economy, including significant job loss, trade disadvantages, increased energy and consumer costs, or any combination thereof; and
Whereas it is desirable that a bipartisan group of Senators be appointed by the Majority and Minority Leaders of the Senate for the purpose of monitoring the status of negotiations on Global Climate Change and reporting periodically to the Senate on those negotiations: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) the United States should not be a signatory to any protocol to, or other agreement regarding, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change of 1992, at negotiations in Kyoto in December 1997, or thereafter, which would--
(A) mandate new commitments to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the Annex I Parties, unless the protocol or other agreement also mandates new specific scheduled commitments to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions for Developing Country Parties within the same compliance period, or
(B) would result in serious harm to the economy of the United States; and
(2) any such protocol or other agreement which would require the advice and consent of the Senate to ratification should be accompanied by a detailed explanation of any legislation or regulatory actions that may be required to implement the protocol or other agreement and should also be accompanied by an analysis of the detailed financial costs and other impacts on the economy of the United States which would be incurred by the implementation of the protocol or other agreement.
SEC. 2. The Secretary of the Senate shall transmit a copy of this resolution to the President.

QR codes have been the great divider among marketers and product managers. For every rare instance that you see one successfully integrated into a marketing campaign, you are then bombarded with articles that declare the QR code dead. But when they do work it looks so easy and seamlessly executed that you can't resist picking up your phone to see what the fuss is all about.
Earlier this week, home-decor site Apartment Therapy, shared how a reader had created a QR code for guests to scan herunterladen. It took them to a page with the home's updated Wi-Fi passwords that they could copy and paste to easily connect to the internet with. No more trying to remember a long, complicated password haphazardly scribbled on a sticky note! It's a brilliant idea if your wi-fi password is long and easy to forget, or if you often change your password (looking at you, hotel and restaurant industries!) firefox sicher downloaden.
From this, and a few other successful QR code campaigns, I've put together 5 easy tips that will help you successfully integrate QR codes into your marketing strategy.
1. Take Users Somewhere Special – There is nothing more frustrating for a user that to take the time to scan a QR code, only to arrive at the company homepage, even worse if it's not mobile friendly qgis osm daten herunterladen. Help foster a sense of exclusiveness by taking them to a special landing page, and you positively reinforce and reward your customer. Brands that are associated with VIP events and services would benefit the most from making their QR code landing pages extra special, adding to the allure. Consider instead of handing out physical tickets, sending a QR code that users will need to show at the door to get into your event.
2 herunterladen. Be Mobile Friendly – This seems like a very obvious tip until you come across a QR code that leads to a great desktop site that looks terrible on an iPhone. People will be using a smartphone to access your QR code so don't serve them up a special landing page that hasn't been configured for popular smartphone sizing herunterladen. Using a QR code correctly will make your brand seem like it's on the cutting edge of technology, make sure your mobile site is ready for the challenge!
3. Your QR Code Needs to Be Perfect- Granted if you're imprinting on an item from Pinnacle, this is a null point. But, regardless, it is important to test your QR code for any imperfections that could mean to a waste of your customer's time herunterladen. As I am sure you know by now, you don't want to be known as a brand that wastes customers' time.
4. Get Creative – Emart, a Korean company, needed a way to increase business during lunch hour- usually when their stories would go dead for the afternoon. So they launched a campaign and put up QR code statues around the city and between 12- 1 PM, the shadows of the statue would line up into a perfect QR code that took users to a special offer page schwerbehindertenausweis herunterladen. The results were incredible for the company who saw a sustained increase in purchases around lunch time soon after the campaign launched. I'm not suggesting their approach should be copied exactly as is, but creative QR codes entice customers to try it out.
5. Offer Incentives – It's definitely a good idea to offer an incentive after your customers scan a QR code, but what about enticing them to scan the code in the first place spotify lieder auf laptop herunterladen? Consider what Ballatine's Scotch Whiskey did when they commissioned a Parisian tattoo artist and client into creating the world's first animated tattoo. The tattoo was done in real time with online users chiming with suggestions for the artist. The finished tattoo included a QR code that led to a youtube video that animated the tattoo onscreen netflix serien herunterladen wie lange. Your brand will not need to go to such extremes but make sure to mention the rewards of scanning your QR code.
So what has been the best use of a QR code that you've seen or do you think they are just a passing fad that marketers will soon be embarrassed to you?

StarDate: 50712.5
Kira's encounter with a Cardassian dissident brings back traumatic memories.
Kira meets Tekeny Ghemor, a known Cardassian dissident, hoping he will lead the opposition to the Cardassian/Dominion Alliance. Ghemor reveals he hasn't long to live but he may still be able to help Kira's cause with a Cardassian ritual in which the dying reveal secrets to their family to use against their enemies. Since Ghemor apparently has no living relatives, he asks Kira, who the Cardassians once kidnapped and surgically altered to look like his long-lost child, to be his "daughter" one last time. Sisko points out that this is an incredible opportunity to learn Cardassian secrets. Kira reluctantly agrees to the task.
Kira sets up at Ghemor's deathbed, where they begin. Ghemor struggles against agonizing pain to share his secrets, and Kira struggles with memories of her own father, Taban, and his death by the Cardassians years before. Meanwhile, Gul Dukat arrives via Jem'Hadar battleship, demanding Ghemor's return.
Dukat and his Dominion cohorts board the station and go to Ghemor, who refuses to leave with them, even when Dukat tempts him with a reunion with his real missing daughter, Iliana. Later, Dukat tells Kira that Ghemor is not the man she thinks he is he participated in a notorious massacre at a Bajoran monastery, and proves it by handing her Ghemor's military file.
Returning to Ghemor, Kira angrily confronts him and, despite his apologies, leaves him to die alone. Odo reminds Kira that Ghemor was only 19 at the time of the massacre, then suggests Kira might really be upset about something else. Kira again recalls when her father was dying, and remembers leaving to fight with his attackers instead of staying by his side as he wished. Bashir interrupts her with news that Ghemor will be dead within the hour.
Kira refuses to go to Ghemor's side, then again thinks back to the past, and remembers returning from battle to learn that her father died calling her name. The memory is too much Kira goes back to Ghemor's bedside and takes his hand, finally able to help him die in peace. As a final gesture, she takes Ghemor's body to Bajor and buries him next to her father.

Ancestry.ca has announced the release of more than 120,000 Canadian Census records from Lower Canada (now Quebec). These records document the lives of Canadians living in Lower Canada in 1825 and 1842 – before Canada was officially a country.
As they say in their press release "The first national Canadian census was taken in 1871; however, many local and colonial censuses were taken before this date. The 1825 Census of Lower Canada and the 1842 Census of Canada East highlight the names of heads of the family, occupation, the number of people living in the house and other information that can help people discover more about their Canadian roots.
Lower Canada and Canada East were vibrant and rapidly growing areas during the mid-1800s. Wheat and timber had replaced the fur trade as the main industries for export, creating a booming local economy and leading to a population that expanded by approximately 300,000 between 1784 and 1825.
"These records shed new light on the lives of people who helped build Quebec and can help countless Canadians discover more stories about their ancestors living in Pre-Confederation Canada," says Lesley Anderson, genealogist and Content Specialist for Ancestry.ca. "We're excited to be offering Canadians the chance to explore these new records and adding to what is the largest online collection of historical Canadian records available anywhere in the world.""
The website for the 1825 Census of Lower Canada is at http://search.ancestry.ca/search/db.aspx?dbid=9807

When the question is how effective California state and local governments are, the honest answer is: we don't know.
California law keeps so many public records secret that holding government accountable is next to impossible.
Brian Joseph of the Orange County Register recently did Californians the good service of detailing all the ways the government keeps things secret. He wrote:
U.S. & World
"An Orange County Register review of the Government Code found at least 500 provisions that exempt specific records or information from public disclosure while another 16 code sections prohibit the release of broad categories of documents, including every complaint filed with a licensing body or investigatory agency, all communications with members of the Legislature and any document whose release does not serve the public interest."
That last exemption is so broad as to shield almost anything from public disclosure. And the failure to make complaints public is nearly as bad, since shielding those records makes it difficult to figure out if licensing and investigative agencies are doing the vital work of protecting citizens.
Secrecy often protects powerful interests. It also fuels cynicism about government. This state needs a sunshine law that makes every public record truly public, with only the most limited exceptions to protect the privacy of ordinary citizens.

My great passion is creating interactive art. Since the age of 10 I have been working with different types of media. That is really how I started developing a interest in art and games.
It's been my biggest hobby over the years. While I've always been interested in all types of media, level design and virtual art is what I enjoyed the most. I started off by creating really imaginative and enjoyable maps for Counter-Strike: Source, and then went onto Team Fortress 2. I created single maps for about 3 years, then I moved onto bigger personal projects.
One worth mentioning was a mod for the game Portal which I was really excited about. I made two episodes for this mod all by myself. It was quite challenging since I did the work of a whole development team, including marketing the modification.
So, while level design is what I enjoy the most in game development, I also enjoy all aspects of making a game.
Whilst game development is the biggest passion of mine, photography and 2D art follows very close behind. My parents work as professional photographers, so I grew up with that. Around age 12-15 I did my own illustrations and images. I also designed different blogs and websites with simple style codes and images I created. When got older I started taking photos myself and started to learn how the camera really works. So my knowledge of cameras and photgraphy is increasing all the time.
I started reading digital design when I turned 16. I felt that is the area which I want to grow stronger in, and I am.

Talkin' 'bout myself again. This time: anal sex! Or rather, how to not have it, because I don't know.
I'm updating my blog from my office because the trackpad on my Macbook broke and I had a little bit of work due. My deadline was 5pm Friday, which I totally thought I was ahead of because I had no idea it was the weekend until the rest of the world was way into Saturday. I was skipping to the office like, "La la la, I'm working even though I'm still on vacation, I'm so good at my job, look at me go, give me a raise, la la la," and then boom, jay kay, it's actually Saturday and I missed my deadline by 18 hours. A for effort?
Anyway, I smoked a lot of pot over my Christmas break. I also didn't check my phone, though not by choice, but because there is no cell service where my boyfriend's folks live in Camp Meeker, which sounds like a made up place but it's actually a town in Sonoma County that's so small all they have is a volunteer fire station and a "welcome" banner that makes it feel like you're going to an actual summer camp. So yes, I feel like I've been in Lala Land the past week and I am still not 100% sure what day it is. Writing this article for Thought Catalog is the only quasi-productive thing I did.

CenturyLink, Union Fail To Reach Labor Agreement
DENVER (AP) — CenturyLink and the union representing 13,000 workers in 13 states in the West and Midwest have failed to reach a contract agreement, but agreed to a day-to-day extension of the expired pact.
The Communications Workers of America made the announcement after the existing labor contract just before midnight Saturday.
CWA spokesman Al Kogler said in a statement that negotiations will continue and workers will remain on the job during the extension.
Kogler has said the union opposes a proposed increase in health care premiums and wants to bring more jobs back to the U.S. The union had authorized a strike in the event that a new deal couldn't be reached with the Monroe, La.-based telecommunications company.
CenturyLink workers in Montana, who are negotiating a separate contract, agreed to the extension.

The closing of SWB New England, a distributor of kosher and ethnic foods, leaves as many as 160 employees without jobs.
Employees of SWB New England are jobless after the United Drive kosher and ethnic foods distributor suddenly closed its doors. SWB bounced as many as 150 to 160 employees on Oct. 11, two days after the business warned of impending layoffs, according to a former employee who did not want his name used. As a result, U.S. Sen. John Kerry's office is sending a letter asking the Department of Labor to investigate whether SWB violated the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. Also known as WARN, the law would require SWB to furnish 60 days notice to employees if the business intended to close its plant or lay off 50 or more full-time employees. Linnea Walsh, spokeswoman of the state Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development, confirmed that SWB closed its doors without notifying a state Rapid Response dislocated worker unit. A WARN notification would have triggered a workplace meeting with SWB and its employees where the rapid response team would present information to help them find new jobs. Instead, John Murray, the Rapid Response coordinator for the southeast region, met with about 20 employees at a West Bridgewater restaurant to informally discuss unemployment insurance and career help after a former manager and some employees contacted the state. The former employee said company officials threatened to make sure the nonunion employees would not collect unemployment unless they cooperated and that the sudden closing left many of them on the brink of bankruptcy and homelessness. He said he attended the breakfast meeting with the Rapid Response team, which took place at Day Break Family Restaurant on West Center Street the day after SWB closed its doors. "I'm going to make it through. Trust me. I just want it known how they (SWB New England) screwed us over," he said. "It's just a bunch of bull-crap. ... It's just not right. It's just not." Walsh said the state is still trying to get a list of affected employees and could not confirm the number of layoffs. She urged dislocated workers to turn to local career centers - such as CareerWorks, 34 School St., Brockton - for benefits and help. "Our focus is reaching out to employees and getting then the help that they need," she said. A company official identified as the interim adviser for closing SWB did not return phone calls seeking comment. "Senators Kerry and Kennedy will be communicating with the company to ensure that all employees receive any benefits promised to them under federal law. The senators will pursue all avenues to make sure that if any federal laws were broken, all proper actions are taken to rectify the situation," said Brigid O'Rourke, a Kerry spokeswoman, in a prepared statement. According to SWB's Web site, the wholesale distributor has been in business since 1922; is the top kosher distributor in New England; and distributes to supermarket chains, mom and pop stores and institutional facilities. SWB leases 72,500 square feet of warehouse space and 7,500 square feet of office space at 1 United Drive from Liberty Cos. of Boston. The distributor relocated there in October 2006 from a 45,060-square-foot facility at 35 Turnpike St, West Bridgewater, according to Liberty Cos. Liberty Cos. CEO Moshin Amiji did not return a phone call. Large roadside signs at Manley Street and United Drive and in front of 1 United Drive announced space for lease. A phone call to a broker for listing agent Richard Barry Joyce & Partners was not returned. Selectmen Chairman Eldon Moreira said he had not been notified of the closing, although a former employee called the town clerk's and selectmen's offices last week about the layoffs. "I don't like seeing things like this happen. It's very, very hard now for people who lose their jobs. They need every cent, every dollar they can to pay bills," he said. Selectman Matthew Albanese, who is a member of the town's Industrial Development Commission, said he was disturbed that the displaced employees didn't get much time or resources to search for new jobs. "In this economy, there are many workers getting the short end of the stick," he said. Moreira and Albanese said selectmen would also try to assist residents and nonresidents let go by SWB.

Where to even begin...
The artwork by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, titled Him, has been installed in the Polish capital where thousands of Jews were killed or sent to their deaths by the Nazi regime. The statue has attracted large numbers of visitors since its installation last month, but some organisations have criticised the decision to erect it in such a sensitive area.
One Jewish advocacy group, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, described the statue's placement as "a senseless provocation which insults the memory of the Nazis' Jewish victims".
"As far as the Jews were concerned, Hitler's only 'prayer' was that they be wiped off the face of the earth," the group's Israel director, Efraim Zuroff, said in a statement.

Updated The son of US conservative demigod Ronald Reagan is using his dad's name and statistical bullpuckerey to pimp his "very first all-conservative email service provider" offering to unsuspecting right-wing Americans.
"Are you aware that if you have AOL, Gmail, or any one of the famous internet service providers, that when they send money to Washington, 90 per cent of it goes to liberal causes?" Michael Reagan asks in a video pitch on his Reagan.com website. "Is that where you want your money to go?"
Those ISPs are part of the liberal conspiracy determined to tear down America, according to Reagan fils. "Every time you use your email from companies like Google, AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, Apple and others, you are helping the liberals. These companies are, and will continue, to be huge supporters financially and with technology of those that are hurting our country."
Well, not really, Mikey. According to figures provided by the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics' OpenSecrets.org, which tracks political contributions, tech-sector contributions are, indeed, weighted toward the Democratic side of the ledger, but only Apple has reached that 90 per cent figure — although Google is mighty close at 89 per cent.
Corporate contributions from 2004 through the first quarter of 2008
But that's only part of the story — note that 100 per cent of Apple-sourced political contributions came from individuals, and 90 per cent of Google's donations came from private citizens who happen to work for that company. Republican-leaning AT&T, by contrast, contributes heavily through political action committees (PACs) — although its 100 per cent filing is dubious, unless each and every Big Phone minion is fully fiscally apolitical.
It's also instructive to take a look at data presented in an interactive data presentation on the Center for Responsive Politics' website which skips those individual contributions entirely and details only corporate PAC contributions to US federal candidates.
PAC contributions during the 2008 US electoral cycle
PAC contributions during the current US electoral cycle
As is true in most PAC-money distributions, both Democrats and Republicans tend to spread their money around fairly evenly, covering their hineys in preparation for any electoral eventuality.
But, hey The Reg is not here to tell you whether you should support the "San Francisco values" of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi or the fundraising juggernaut that is the "Tea Party Caucus" founder Michele Bachmann. The last time we looked, it was still a free country — you pays yer money, you makes yer choice.
But do know that if you want a firstname.lastname@example.com "all-conservative" email address, act quickly: Tuesday is the last day to bag not only your address at the low, low price of $34.95 per year, but also to receive a free DVD of Michael's dad, Ronald, speaking at the Brandenburg Gate in 1987.
"One of the most famous speeches he ever gave," says Michael. "He said to Mr. Gorbachav, 'Tear down this wall', and that wall came down two years later."
Simple cause and effect, eh? As simple as making up statistics and riding your dad's coattails to make a buck. ®
Michael Reagan has now extended his special-offer extension from August 3 to August 23. Why is The Reg not surprised?

Tideman, Tiddeman, Tiddiman, Tidyman, Tidman, Titman, Tediman,
Teddiman, Teddeman, Tyddiman, Tyddeyman, Tyddeman, Tidyman .
I'm sure I forgot a few. All these different spellings flashed around in my dream and I was awakened by hubby asking, "Did you take care of all those ghosts?" So apparantly while I was seeing Tiddeman I was talking about ghosts! I think grandpa Tiddeman is haunting me!
Edmond Tiddeman was a mariner and a Quaker. He is listed as a sufferer in "A Collection of Sufferings of the People Called Quakers", by Joseph Besse. It took a lot of googling, but I finally found this book online and if you have Quakers, it is well worth a look. The following excerpt comes from page 462 of Vol I:
On the 4th of the Month called March 1683, at Horslydown, the Friends, being kept out of their Meeting-house, were assembled after their usual Manner in the Street, when the Constables came and took away William Shewin, Anthony Tomkins, Joseph Wase, Edmund Tiddeman, Richard Post, Thomas Lurting, Joseph Rawbone, John Bridges, John Holliday, George Bradford, Edmund Curle, and Percival Parsons, whom they carried before William Spiers, a Justice at the Bridge-house, who committed them all to the Counter in Tooly-street as Rioters.
I believe the Counter he was held it was Borough Compter. I don't know how long he was held there, but he was released before April 3rd of 1683 because that's when he is found in the New Jersey Colonial Documents:
1683 April 4. Do. William WELCH of London, merchant, to Edmond TIDEMAN of Redrith, Co. of Surrey, mariner, for 1-12 of a share of the Province, to contain at least 1,600 acres.*
|Thomas Teddeman by Peter Lely, 1666,
part of the Flagmen of Lowestoft series
Edmond is said to be from a distinguished Navy family and ship owners from Dover which makes me almost certain that he is related to Rear Admiral Thomas Teddeman. I just need to figure out how.
Thomas knew William Penn before he turned Quaker and Edmond traveled with him in 1672 on a religious visit through Kent.
I was able to get Captain Edmond's will, but it still leaves me with questions.
Google led me to this family tree on Rootsweb that says Edmond's parents are Thomas Tiddeman and Katherine Woodgreene, but she has no sources. I sent her an email and am awaiting a reply.
Luckily I was able to find and purchase the will for Edmund Woodgreene, a possible grandfather for the Captain, from National Archives UK (I should take stock in their company), but I would still like to find some baptism records or something.
Now it's the weekend so I am taking a Tiddeman break!

So, I just came back from a CS Competition, and there was this one question that asked this:
"You will be given a .in file that will contain a number "n" which is the number of times to loop the program. The next lines will consist of two integers each that you will need to add. Develop a program to determine the number of arithmetic carries during this process"
For example: 9 + 1 = 10 ... You carried once
Data Input:
123 456
555 555
469 101
So here's my code that gave me the correct answers for the provided input:
import java.util.*; public class friday { public static void main(String args[]){ Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter number of times to run"); int count = scan.nextInt(); while(count > 0){ System.out.println("Enter A:"); int a = scan.nextInt(); System.out.println("Enter B:"); int b = scan.nextInt(); String aword = a+""; String bword = b+""; char array1[] = aword.toCharArray(); char array2[] = bword.toCharArray(); int carries = 0; for(int i = array2.length; i > 0; i--){ if((array1[i-1] + array2[i-1]) > 9+48+48){ carries++; } } System.out.println(carries); count--; } } }
It doesn't work if the number's lengths are variable.. like A has a length of 2, and B has a length of 3.. It won't work that way, or if you have 999 + 1, the logic behind it wouldn't work either... Can someone point me in the correct direction? My friend who was in the advanced division told me he would use recursion.. But his logic was kind of skewed when he gave me an answer.. Any help would be Greatly Appreciated.


text: NEW YORK -- On days Kyle Hendricks is on the mound, he can count on Javier Baez, his buddy from the minor leagues, for plenty of run support. Nike Shox Outlet Cheap . Its a combo beleaguered Cubs fans can get excited about. Hendricks and two relievers held New York to four or fewer hits for the fifth straight game, Baez and Anthony Rizzo homered, and Chicago rallied for a 4-1 victory over the Mets on Monday. "When hes pitching and he got a good game, I got a good game, too," Baez said. Teammates at Triple-A Iowa for much of the season, Baez hit two homers in his third career game to help make Hendricks a winner in his fifth career start -- on Aug. 7. This time, Baezs mammoth two-run shot into the second deck in left field off Mets closer Jenrry Mejia put Chicago up 4-1. "Thats typical right there," Hendricks said of the homer. "Not really shocking for us." Hendricks (5-1) gave up three hits in seven innings, allowing only Lucas Dudas home run in the fourth. The right-hander won his fourth straight start -- yielding four earned runs over 29 1-3 innings. "I wasnt that sharp but then made that mistake to Duda and it kind of locked me in after that," Hendricks said. Neil Ramirez struck out two in a perfect eighth and Hector Rondon allowed a leadoff double but finished the four-hitter for his 18th save. The Cubs came back once Carlos Torres, making a spot start for Bartolo Colon, was done after five innings. Luis Valbuena, who had three hits, had a tying single in the sixth. Rizzo connected off Buddy Carlyle (1-1) in the eighth for his 28th homer. The Mets had only 16 hits but split the four-game series with the Cubs. The five-game run matches the clubs longest streak of games with no more than four hits. They also went five straight in 2004 and 1963. The only time since 1914 the Cubs gave up four or fewer hits in four straight games was in 1983. "Maybe theyre swinging too much," manager Terry Collins said. "Its trying not to do too much, just try to put the barrel on the baseball." The 41-year-old Colon had to return to the Dominican Republic, where his mother was sick, forcing the durable Torres to make his first start since Sept. 27. He yielded three hits. Colons winter ball team, the Cibao Eagles, confirmed later Monday Colons mother died. The Mets will place Colon on the bereavement list and recall right-hander Gonzalez Germen from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday. Torres became the first pitcher to start on no days rest since the Angels Billy Buckner did it June 25, 26 of last year. Torres threw nine pitches in facing two batters in the Mets 2-1 loss Sunday. TRAINERS ROOM Cubs: OF Chris Coghlan was out of the starting lineup. "Weve been pushing him pretty hard," manager Rick Renteria said. Coghlan has been playing with a sore left big toe. As a pinch hitter, he grounded out with the bases loaded in the eight. Mets: RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka could be activated from the DL to replace Colon. Matsuzaka (elbow inflammation) made a rehab start Saturday, allowing one run and three hits over six innings for Double-A Binghamton. UP NEXT Cubs: LHP Tsuyoshi Wada (2-1) will make his seventh big league start when Cubs host the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday. Mets: RHP Dillon Gee (4-5) is set for his first start at the Oakland Coliseum. He gave up four runs in four innings vs. the As at Citi Field on June 21, 2011. QUICK REVIEW Renteria challenged two plays, winning one and losing one. The total time for the two reviews was 1 minute, 23 seconds. Umpires needed 55 seconds to overturn a safe call on Matt den Dekkers attempted steal in the fourth. It only took 28 seconds to uphold an out call at first base in the fifth. GETTING BETTER The Cubs improved to 9-8 this month. Last year they were 8-20 in August. ZERO SUM Torres is first pitcher to strike out six on zero rest since the Cubs Steve Wilson struck out 10 on Sept. 10, 1989. He also is the first to throw at least five shutout innings on no rest since Philadelphias Bruce Ruffin went eight scoreless on June 21, 1991. Cheap Nike Shox Online .

With mind/body programs gaining popularity, more clubs across the country are giving peace a chance.
Once part of a new wave of techniques slowly infiltrating the health club environment, exercises that fall into the category of "mind/body" have, for the most part, emerged from their infancy in the mainstream fitness world. A growing number of today's increasingly savvy members and prospects no longer find such terms as yoga, tai chi, qi gong or Pilates to be foreign and intimiditating.
"It's really taken off over the past four to five years," observes Lindsay Merrithew, president and CEO of Toronto-based Stott Inc., a supplier of equipment and services for Pilates-type exercise. "There was a time before that when the whole concept of mind/body was quite foreign. But it kind of crept in the back door."
And, what once served only a small niche of New Age aficionados now attracts a highly diverse clientele. "It's been interesting to observe how it's caught on," says Francoise Netter, an instructor at the Longmont Athletic Club in Longmont, Colo. "It used to be a much smaller demographic, but now we've got every walk of life. A senior gentleman came into the club saying he wanted more flexibility and was interested in taking a yoga class. We get people in their 20s through 60s and 70s."
Mind/body activity definitely has arrived at YMCAs across the country, as a total of 826 Ys offered yoga in 1999 - more than one-third of the organization's 2,200 facilities. "There's been more of an acceptance of these programs, as they've become better known by fitness professionals," explains Mi-chael Spezzano, health and fitness director of Chicago-based YMCA USA.
Since fitness professionals in general have become better educated about mind/body techniques, they feel more comfortable promoting mind/body programs during other fitness classes. This has stimulated participants' interest, as Spezzano can attest.
"The number of Ys offering yoga classes has tripled in the past few years," he says. "Before that, there was nothing near the kind of popularity we see today." In addition, 414 Ys reported that they offer tai chi, while 312 said they offer "relaxation" classes. As many as 325 said they offer "other" mind/body programs.
Commercial clubs are also adding more mind/body programs to their schedules - or even combining these techniques with existing classes. New York City-based Crunch Fitness has taken this approach.
"Our focus has been on more hybrid forms of yoga and Pilates programming," reveals Donna Cyrus, Crunch's national group fitness director.
This programming creativity is most prevalent in Crunch's yoga offerings. For example, its Flow yoga program combines the teachings of Joseph Pilates with yoga. Crunch also offers a class called Liquid Bliss, "which is more of a typical stretch class based on balletic movement married with yoga poses," according to Cyrus. This makes the class more accessible to people who would normally avoid yoga.
"Sometimes the purest aspects of real yoga training do not lend themselves to the gym setting," Cyrus says. "Members might get frustrated by not being able to do some poses that are easier for advanced participants in a yoga studio setting."
Longmont's fitness/wellness director Kristi Kyte advises that programmers always should keep a finger on the pulse of the industry as a whole when developing a menu of services. "We go with the wave of what's up and coming in fitness in general," Kyte offers. Many of her club's programs tie in with NIA (Neuromuscular Integrative Action), which Kyte describes as a "dance mind/ body aerobics class."
At the Marsh in Minnetonka, Minn., newer techniques such as chi ball and Feldenkrais (see box) are starting to catch on.
Chi ball combines elements of tai chi, qi gong and modern dance, according to general manager Tim Morten-son. "The chi ball serves to focus the mind and enhance movement awareness," he says. Meanwhile, Feldenkrais (pronounced, feld-in-crice) is "a one-on-one application in which a trained practitioner uses gentle manipulation and movement to encourage the body into new, easier ways of moving."
While the Marsh has always been on the cutting edge of mind/body programming, Mortenson expects these newer activities to gain acceptance at facilities around the country. For example, Feldenkrais' emphasis on movement makes it attractive to aging baby boomers. "As they age, people are going to want to move more effectively in a more comfortable range of motion," Mortenson says.
The various benefits of different mind/body programs may draw members, but many experts agree that the key to the success of such fitness offerings depends upon the staff delivering the programs.
"The mind-body method or approach to fitness is only as effective as the training behind it," notes Stott's Merrithew. "Club members demand instructors who are trained and knowledgeable, and that's the bottom line."
The Y's Spezzano agrees, adding, "Any time you talk about successful programming, it begins and ends with the instructor. And they've got to have the personality. It has to be enjoyable enough to make people want to keep going."
Mandatory instructor certification, most fitness pros agree, should be expected. And the certification must be specific to the mind/body technique, and even subcategories of each technique. For instance, instructors can be certified in hatha, kundalini and ashtanga yoga, to name a few. "It's really specific to the technique," says Crunch's Cyrus. "I can't stress enough how key it is for the staff to be trained in the exact technique they're teaching."
Crunch harvests the cream of the crop through monthly auditions at its New York City facilities. "Most have been trained with someone else already teaching with us, so the referrals come from reliable sources," notes Cyrus.
But staff training and certification needn't be just another operating expense. If you take a cue from Crunch, it could become a successful profit center. The chain offers instructor training in mind/body techniques. In doing so, it has created a fertile breeding ground for the future talent pool. "It helps prolong your ability to offer good teachers," explains Cyrus. "There are so many people out there who aren't well trained, but we're missing the obvious place to look for new teachers: within your classrooms. By offering training programs, you'll be able to find the right people with the aptitude to go from the member base to the instructor base."
Training isn't the only profit center mind/body programs can generate. As with any group fitness activities, there are always accessories to be sold. The most basic mind/body-related item your facility may sell is the yoga mat. "We usually put a minimal number of mats in the classrooms for our members to use for free," Cyrus notes. "The idea is for them to eventually want to purchase their own mats. The mats require an investment of only about $10 to $15 each wholesale and can be sold to members for $25 to $30."
And mats are just the beginning. Some mind/body techniques call for special exercise blocks and blankets, while others require ropes and bands designed to enhance flexibility. With a little retail savvy, your facility can really cash in on these specialty items.
Mood enhancers or instructional materials also make attractive retail items. "Anything from music and videos to books can earn you extra money," recommends The Marsh's Mortenson.
There's money to be made outside the confines of the club, as well. Today's manic corporate executives often lack the time to frequent fitness facilities, but they, perhaps more than anyone, are desperately in need of the calming benefits of mind/body techniques. So why not bring the programs to them? Sending your mind/body ambassadors out into the local business community is a profit center waiting to happen.
Longmont's Netter has created her own business - independent of the club - based on this corporate concept. Through her company Body/Mind Dynamics, Netter teaches a technique she calls Mindful Movement in a corporate setting. "It's a way of using movement as a tool for other solutions, such as healing and brainstorming business strategies," she explains. "It teaches them to reach their goals through the mind/body connection."
Whether your staff carries the mind/body wave outside the club or you keep it strictly on-site, you've got to develop a safety strategy before your members inhale their first deep breaths. In Pilates-type methods and yoga especially, there are certain moves involved that could be hazardous if attempted by novices. It is incumbent upon club operators to convey caution clearly to members, especially those crossing into the mind/body realm for the first time.
"Early on, we had to pull some classes from our schedule because of safety concerns," admits Crunch's Cyrus. "Some types of yoga were on that list because they involved standing on one's head and hitting poses that were close to impossible and very unsafe."
Cyrus draws a safety parallel between martial arts and mind/body programming. Clubs hire martial artists often with as much as 20 years of experience under their belts (pun intended). Regardless of how seasoned the instructors are, injuries still run rampant in classes because participants sometimes bite off more than they can chew. "You can't expect someone who sits at a computer all day to replicate certain moves and make it safe," Cyrus warns. "I try to focus on these issues with mind/body."
But she does concede that members are much stronger and more savvy today than when mind/body first started finding its way into a gym setting. Still, there's no such thing as "too safe."
"I have my directors address safety issues class by class," Cyrus says. "We'll say, `You can't do pose number such and such because we know it's not safe.'"
And instructor-to-member ratio should factor into your safety strategy as well. "Classes would obviously need to be smaller because the instructor has to focus more attention on the individual participants," advises The Marsh's Mortenson. "That's what mind/body is all about."
What the Heck is Feldenkrais?
The Feldenkrais method was developed through 40 years of research by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, a Russian-born physicist, judo expert, mechanical engineer and educator. It's designed to improve ease and range of motion through a series of gentle, directed movements, as well as promote a greater functional awareness of the self. There are two primary modalities associated with the method: Awareness Through Movement (ATM) and Functional Integration.
In ATM, the practitioner verbally glides the participant through a sequence of movements. This helps the participant discover how he performs certain movements and teaches him to abandon certain habitual patterns. Ultimately, the participant develops awareness, flexibility and coordination.
Functional Integration is performed with the student lying on a table or in sitting or standing positions. The practitioner illustrates how the student organizes his body's movements and conveys the experience of comfort and ease of movement through gentle touching. The student learns how to reorganize his body and behavior in more expanded functional motor patterns. The practitioner often uses props such as pillows, rollers and blankets to support the student's body configuration or facilitate certain movements.
Qi gong (pronounced chee koong) combines slow, meditative movement with deep breathing to produce both a tranquil mind and healthy body. It's hardly a new technique, as it's been practiced in China for about 6,000 years!

HOT SEAT- Light master: DMB did it for Fenton
In 1991, Fenton Williams was a typical student taking classes at PVCC and hoping to transfer to UVA to earn an engineering degree. But then he had a better idea: drop out of college and hang out in bars!
Fun, sure, but a smart career move? For most people, not so much. But for Williams? Sheer brilliance.
"Things panned out from there," says Williams, stating the obvious during a recent phone interview from a hotel room in Los Angeles.
Now 35, Williams has worked for the Dave Matthews Band for 15 years, starting as its road manager and serving for the last decade as its lighting designer and video director.
"Everyone involved had a good feeling like something special was going on," he says of the band's beginning.
Special indeed, as the Dave Matthews Band– getting ready to wrap up its 2006 tour in Charlottesville on September 22 and 23– has consistently been one of the top earning concert acts in the world for the past decade, selling out stadiums and spawning legions of devoted fans.
In the early days, Williams recalls, things weren't quite so glamorous, as the band drove from gig to gig in their own cars and hauled their own equipment into countless bars and small performance venues.
Plus, Williams hadn't yet found his niche.
"I was undoubtedly one of the top three worst road managers in the world," he laughs. "I can't claim to be the most organized person."
Fortunately, he laughs, a "tougher" character named Coran Capshaw came along to make sure the ship sailed while Williams provided comic relief.
"He's really funny," says Waldo Jaquith, who founded the DMB fansite nancies.org and who worked with Williams in the late 1990s at a graphic design firm while the band was on break. Williams, Jaquith says, "can keep a straight face and say outlandish things to friends or strangers."
Capshaw wasn't spared.
Some may remember a black and yellow bumper sticker that appeared on cars in the mid- to late-'90s, urging "Do it for Fenton!"
That message, Williams says, came from a prank he played one night in a bar on DMB manager Capshaw, who jotted to-do notes in a notebook. Each time Capshaw walked away, Fenton left Capshaw an instruction in his notebook.
"They were things like, 'Deposit $10,000 into Fenton's account tomorrow,'" he laughs. After a dozen or so such notes, the final "to-do" Williams wrote said simply "Do it for Fenton!"
Capshaw, who discovered the additions the next morning, got the last laugh, embarrassing Williams by hiring a plane pulling a "Do it for Fenton!" banner to fly over Veterans Field in New Jersey during a concert. Capshaw soon had the bumper stickers made up as well.
"He branded me," Williams laughs.
There was plenty of laughter, sure, but it may have been boredom that netted Williams his current responsibilities.
"In those early days of traveling around," he says, "I wouldn't have much to do, so I'd play with the lighting." He was a quick study, and though he has no formal lighting training, he says he's come a long way.
"In one sense, Fenton is almost like another member of the band, the way he does lights," says fiddler Boyd Tinsley. "He's right there in time with us, changing what's happening on stage with the music. It's very musically inclined."
This year's tour has a "modern look," Williams says. While the show opens with very simple lighting, the set changes as it goes, building to a climax. "We recreate the feeling of things being blown up without having to do it," he says.
Williams says DMB's set for the 2001 show in Scott Stadium, which featured cylindrical pieces of fabric filled with blowing air, was "awful."
"That was an early attempt at a semblance of a set," he says. "It's progressed quite a ways from then."
And while the shows themselves are bigger and better, Williams says the relationships between road crew and band are as well.
"As much of a cliché as it might sound, it really is a complete family out here," says Williams, who's been married for three years. "It's your family away from home, and everyone is very tight. There's no battle; the only goal that exists out here is that when those seven guys hit the stage, they have everything they need and are in the best mood possible."
