San Ginesio self-catering holiday rentals are set in Italy's Le Marche region, a part of the country famous for its rural beauty and beautiful medieval hill-top towns. It's a great place to discover Italy's renaissance culture, with various churches in small towns throughout the region boasting fantastic art from the 15th and 16th Centuries.
The town around self-catering holiday apartments in San Ginesio is lovely. Firstly, there are wonderful views here of the Sibillini Mountains, which lie to the west of the town. The central square is very attractive and is home to the collegiate church, which boasts a Gothic brick facade. In the interior you'll be able to visit the crypt, which features frescoes by the Renaissance artist Lorenzo Salimbeni. Elsewhere you'll be able to explore the streets of this charming medieval town, with its Romanesque churches and imposing defensive walls. These walls still have slits in place for archers and are accessible via walkways. You could also head for the civic museum here to find yet more art from the Renaissance period. A little way north of holiday accommodation in San Ginesio is the picturesque town of Tolentino. A highlight here is the magnificent Basilica, which contains what are considered some of the most impressive pieces of medieval art in the region, dating to the 1300s. You could also visit Parisani-Bezzo palace, which is where Pope Pius VI signed treaty of Tolentino in the late-18th Century after Napoleon invaded the Papal States. Just outside Tolentino, to the east, is the Castello della Rancia, a castle that was established in the 14th Century on the site of a former abbey. It has a long and fascinating history, having witnessed numerous conflicts, and today is open to the public.
If you'd liek to spend a day at the beach during your holiday at San Ginesio holiday rentals then the resort of Civitanova Marche is only 45 minutes to the east. It's an attractive upscale resort based around a working fishing village. The best beaches are located towards the south of the town.
On holiday at San Ginesio self-catering apartments you'll encounter a Mediterranean climate, with highs that reach the upper 20s in summer, peaking at just below 30 in July. Winter temperatures are usually mild, but can drop close to freezing at times due to the high ground.
Ancona Airport (AOI) is around an hour to the northeast of San Ginesio holiday rentals. If you're travelling from the UK then you can get to this destination with Ryanair from London Stansted (STD).

CLEARLY THE HIGH and "superior" limo lefty gizzy does TB no favors.. no1 can relate to her background, voice and demeanor and career choice or success.. now, bridget moynihan would have been perfect in that area! tb needs to start a stop malaria in Africa charity like bill gates while pledging to give away 90% of his wealth to get that score back up. hanging around the bb hasnt helped much in that q-score area but at least bb gets it and has been charging hard with my linked-in pal Miss Holliday to change things around.
had the tebow hung around, he and tb would have cornered the market on the hated. perhaps we could bring him back along with johnny M to change things around a bit. if manziel somehow ends up in Denver, that would b the most loved locker room in the history of the nfl! jeez, how can bob the griffin b so far ahead of the TB? i live in the area and Griff is really disliked and polarizing. i can taste the venom when discussing with others but assume its just due to their raven bias but nationally it seems prevalent too.
it must hurt a bit to have such unfavorables. if this were a wrestling match, tb is the heel or john cena and peyton is Daniel Bryan.. yes yes yes!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
i still think that the way Blizz designed the glyph page it leaves alot to be added to it. like a glyph in the center maybe some kind of combining of your choices. The inner circle intrigues me the most, things like that may very well be as useful as major glyphs, im still wondering why we don't see glyphs drop off mobs. Like epic glyphs or something of the sort
The middle circle was originally going to give scribes (inscriptors, whatever) an extra Major Glyph slot, but now it just lies unused. Keep in mind though that you gain more glyph slots as you level, so it may be used in the next expac for when we reach the new level cap. More likely though they'll simply redesign the glyph interface to include more slots when the time comes.
I think it would be cool though if the middle circle was an extra minor glyph slot that would increase the effect of the glyph you place there. (Better yet make it a major glyph, but that seems a bit much realistically.)
As for the priest glyph changes, a couple things:
-I agree with the other commentors that the Guardian Spirit glyph is pretty awesome...in fact, it seems overpowered and I expect it's effect will be nerfed or a counterweight will be added in to it (i.e. "...but the healing bonus of your Guardian Spirit is reduced 10%)
-The Fear Ward glyph seems much more pvp-oriented to me. It's popularity will depend largely on how well warlocks (and to a lesser extent, priests) do in the coming Arena Season. If every high rated team ends up having a 'lock, this would be a pretty decent glyph.
-The Dispersion glyph has been changed already, and is pretty nice. It reduces the cooldown of the ability by 45 sec (bringing it down to a 2min, 15 sec cd) That's a significant buff to mana regen in and a fairly nice survivability buff for PvP, particularly now that Dispersion is going to break and grant immunity to snare effects.
All in all, I think these are great changes. The only one that seems rather useless is the Psychic Scream glyph. I can't imagine why anyone would want to use it.

Flickr Find: Wrapping Paper Storage Idea
We loved Ryan's DIY bike rack wall for its innovative solution for storing two bikes while saving space. For the same reason, Helana's wrapping paper storage solution is one to imitate for its novel concept...
Helena takes a bike rack in the closet and uses it to store her supply of wrapping paper. Utilizing the area just beneath a shelf is a great way to think vertically and occupy wasted space. We love that the rolls are visually accessible and easy to grab when wrapping a last minute gift. Helena also puts to use the bottom bar as a spot to hang gift bags filled with bows and other necessities for wrapping presents.

Great idea. Some S hooks would make the bag easier to take on and off.
How much wrapping paper does one person need? Looks very messy to me.
I keep a stash of gift bags and tissue paper that I've found on sale or have received with gifts or in my shopping.
I prefer giftbags to giftwrap because it's easier, less time consuming, takes up less room for storage and I'm reusing something that would otherwise just end up in landfill.
I really love this idea, as opposed to the standard wrapping paper bins. I just wish I had a closet with enough space to set this up!
And in my case, one needs an endless supply of wrapping paper. What, I'm supposed to wrap all presents the same? I think not!
I use gift bags for everything....and only buy them as I need them. This idea is great for people who do use gift wrap through out the year or save Christmas paper from year to year.

-- Alan Mozes
WEDNESDAY, Oct. 27 (HealthDay News) -- People who regularly eat
whole grains rather than refined grains pack on less of the type of
fat linked to a higher risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes,
new research suggests.
In high amounts, visceral adipose tissue (VAT) -- the fat that
surrounds the intra-abdominal organs -- is associated with the
onset of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and insulin
resistance, health risk factors collectively known as the
"metabolic syndrome."
"VAT volume was approximately 10 percent lower in adults who reported eating three or more daily servings of whole grains and who limited their intake of refined grains to less than one serving per day," said study co-author Nicola McKeown, a scientist with Tufts University's nutritional epidemiology program at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging.
"For example, a slice of 100 percent whole-wheat bread or a half-cup of oatmeal constituted one serving of whole grains and a slice of white bread or a half-cup of white rice represented a serving of refined grains," she noted in a Tufts news release.
The findings, recently published online in the
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, stem from an analysis of dietary surveys and body-fat scans conducted among more than 2,800 men and women between the ages of 32 and 83.
Even after accounting for additional lifestyle factors including
smoking history, alcohol consumption, fruit and vegetable intake,
percentage of calories comprised of fat, and physical activity
routines, the authors found that consuming several servings a day
of whole grains is associated with lower amounts of VAT.
However, those who consumed three servings a day of whole grains
and several daily servings of refined grains did not appear
to benefit from the whole grain-lower VAT connection.
"Whole grain consumption did not appear to improve VAT volume if refined grain intake exceeded four or more servings per day," noted McKeown.
"This result implies that it is important to make substitutions in the diet, rather than simply adding whole grain foods," she advised. "For example, choosing to cook with brown rice instead of white, or making a sandwich with whole-grain bread instead of white bread."

Sermon by the Rev. Dr. Maria Erling,
November 4, 2011
Isaiah 44: 22-23
I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud, and your sins like mist: return to me, for I have redeemed you. Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done it: shout, o depths of the earth; break forth into singing, O mountains, O forest, and every tree in it! For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and will be glorified in Israel
A walk down Confederate Avenue at this time of year feels like a walk down the aisle of nature's cathedral. On each side the pillars of oak and hickory trees make arches over the road. If you walk down the center – like Moses or Miriam or Isaiah certainly would – you are protected by the canopy of heaven.
Break forth in singing, you trees. This is the time of year for sloughing off the leaves, for the mists to come, for the dying of a season. There is nothing more beautiful than the late autumn sun on these dying leaves. Their final song to us is stunning. It reveals the brilliance of death, of aging.
A few days ago my friend Richard Koenig died. He shared his friendship widely, even with those much younger than he was. He was like a tall oak to my new and hardened maple self when I came to the New England Synod as a young pastor in the early 80's. He had recently moved to New England after a stint of editing for Lutheran Partners. Before that he'd been a campus pastor at the University of Massachusetts, where he decided that his beloved Missouri Synod was on the wrong side of history, and he sided with the group that was forced out of the synod during their purges.
He had stories to tell of how he survived the upheaval of fear in the Missouri Synod. He was the unnamed source for Newsweek and Time during the turmoil of the Missouri convention in 1973. He was not an optimist. His friends called him "Black Richard" because he always looked on the dark side of every issue. The exile he lived through when Concordia Seminary's faculty saw the exit door gave him that somber view. He saw how fear took over his church and power became more important than truth.
He was a stalwart oak tree singing his song of courage, honesty, and truth telling in our New England synod in the last decade of the 20th century. We celebrated Bonhoeffer's witness because of Richard's conviction that we Lutherans could not leave the 20th century behind without seeking a way to apologize, ask forgiveness, make a reckoning, for the horrible and devastating events of the wars, the holocaust, the nuclear threat, and the whole lousy dark side of Lutheran lack of courage during those dark days.
So we did some work together to remember and to make amends. We remembered Bonhoeffer together in our synod. We had a church day – a kind of Kirchentag – for New Englanders, 500 strong. We educated the people in the congregations and then we moved on to stronger reasons to think hard about who we were as Lutherans. We need forgiveness, we Lutherans. We understand how forgiveness is our life blood, our future, our reason for singing.
Richard helped me see the bigger picture – that especially difficult work was ahead of us, because the usual way for churches, Protestants as well as Orthodox, or Catholic, is to emphasize our strengths, not our weaknesses. Richard, known for his dark mood, his gloomy demeanor, knew that strength really comes from dying, from letting go of posturing, pretense, power. Lutherans had humility work to do to sort out our teaching about Justification with the Roman Catholics. We needed to soften our hard hearted stance on faith alone, faith alone, and recognize that Roman Catholic teaching was no longer the straw man we loved to tear apart.
Our church also needed to take a stand against our own hero, and founder, Martin Luther, who famously succumbed to anti-Semitic ravings in some of his writings. We could enter the 21st century with a clear conscience about those writings because of the work that Richard Koenig pushed through the synod as a memorial, and then through the ELCA assembly that year. He wrote the ELCA statement. It is displayed at the Holocaust Museum. It serves as a model of what a church today can do and say about its heritage.
There have been even more ways we have ventured out to make amends, most recently with the Mennonites. I learned to pay attention to the power of forgiveness because Richard made me feel it so keenly. The church itself cannot be the church until it makes the effort to confront its wrongdoing. The world will not listen to us unless we are clear about this. No hiding.
Ministry with a humble conscience can lead Lutherans to remarkable and powerful insights. One of them is the truth that you don't really know the stature of a tree until it has fallen. Then you know how tall it really is.
Isaiah tells us that God's forgiveness – the removal of transgressions - will lead to such freedom that even the mountains will shout. And trees will sing. They have their own way of doing that, and we have ours.

2008 Chevy Equinox headlamp condensation ... normal or not?
I would think so - that's not a wear and tear issue. Unless the dealer says the lens are cracked from road gravel, but that shouldn't be an issue here since you haven't purchased the car yet.
I suppose it's possible that the dealer went through a car wash or pressure washed the 'Nox and got some moisture in the headlamps. If so, it's possible that blowing out the excess could cause it to clear up in a week.
Some dealers will try to reseal the grommets or may even toss desiccant packs in with the bulbs. Or they'll find a crack and put some silicone on it. Or they'll try adding more air vents (most designs have 2 or 3 vents to lower the humidity level inside the headlamp assembly).
If the condensation is constant, my guess is that it either has a bad seal somewhere (like the grommet around the bulb access) or cracks in the lens.
Best permanent fix is new headlamp assemblies I think.
Need help navigating? email@example.com - or send a private message by clicking on my name.
rockmobile Posts: 112With time and patience you can fix it yourself. In my case (Quest minivan) I found out that water was getting in through the seam that connects the lens to the back side of the assembly.
The solution was to take out the headlamp assembly from the car, blow all the water out and let it dry, and then applying silicon sealant to the length of the seam. That was my case, your mileage may vary.
dean53 Posts: 2I purchased an 07 Equinox this past January. A week after I got it I noticed condensation in the passenger head light assembly. I took it back to the dealer and they replaced it with a new one under warranty. They were not sure if the seam was cracked or the grommets were leaking. It is not normal. Depending on your warranty, it may be covered.
catererii Posts: 3
I have a 2007 Chevy Equinox that stayed in the service dept for years with blown bulbs due to condensation. Finally warranty said no more to replacing light housing. So Chevy's remedy was to drill a tiny hole at the bottom, allowing the condensation to evaporate. STILL dealing with condensation, but not as much!!!

Pope Benedict XVI's former butler was indicted Monday by a Vatican judge on charges of stealing the pontiff's private papers and leaking them to the press, a ruling that revealed for the first time that a second person was involved in a scandal that has been rocking the Vatican for months.
The so-called Vatileaks affair led to the publication of confidential documents revealing allegations of corruption, power struggles and personal rivalries inside the Vatican.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Paolo Gabriele, the pope's personal assistant, was arrested by Vatican police May 23 and will be tried for "aggravated theft," according to the 20-page indictment by Vatican Judge Piero Antonio Bonnet.
Gabriele, 45, was held in solitary confinement in a Vatican cell for almost two months before being granted house arrest.
Claudio Sciarpelletti, a computer expert working at the Vatican Secretariat of State, also was indicted for aiding and abetting Gabriele, but according to the Vatican chief spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, he played a minor role and would probably incur a light sentence if convicted.
Gabriele, meanwhile, faces a six-year jail term, which could be lengthened to eight years if judges find one or more "aggravating factors."
A raid at the butler's Vatican apartment revealed he had amassed a large amount of papal documents, including a check made out to Benedict for 100,000 euros ($123,000).
Both men will be tried by a court composed of three lay Vatican judges, who are also law professors at Italian universities. The earliest the trial would start would be late next month.
During the investigation, Gabriele told judges that he leaked the pope's documents to journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi, who then published them in the best-selling book Sua Santita (His Holiness) with the aim of "bringing the church back on the right track" through a media "shock."
He said he was convinced that "evil and corruption" were "everywhere" in the church and that the pope was not adequately informed. "In a certain sense, I felt as an infiltrator ... of the Holy Spirit," he told prosecutors June 5.
Two psychiatrists visited Gabriele on the Vatican's behalf during the investigation. While they found the butler of sound mind and capable of standing trial, they also reported signs of paranoia and warned that he could be easily manipulated.
The indictment hints that Gabriele, besides copying confidential letters and memos from the pope's personal office, might have also been receiving documents by other people inside the Vatican.
A sealed letter marked "Personal P. Gabriele" was found in Sciarpelletti's desk at the Secretariat of State. According to Sciarpelletti himself, it had been given to him by an unnamed source, identified only as "W" in the indictment.
Vatican prosecutor Nicola Picardi stressed that his investigation was only "partially completed," leaving the door open to further developments. A second, parallel investigation by an ad hoc cardinals' commission created by the pope has completed its work but its findings are still unknown.

Costumes and Makeup: Activity 4
Makeup: Beginnings
Like costume designers, makeup artists are storytellers. Whether the script requires actors to look beautiful or ragged, younger or older, or like monsters or other fantastic beings, makeup artists and hairstylists help audiences believe that what they see on the movie screen is real.
Movie makeup is a combination of art and science. It is both corrective, covering flaws and emphasizing attractive features, and creative, enabling actors to inhabit almost any type of character. Movie makeup that is used to hide pores, wrinkles, and other facial imperfections must withstand close scrutiny when magnified on screen. Makeup and hairstyles must look natural, but be durable enough to last for long hours under hot lights while actors fight, kiss, and sweat. Good makeup design requires research, experimentation, and sometimes inventing makeup products or appliances.
In 1914 Max Factor, a makeup artist and chemist, created the first makeup specifically for movies: light, semi-liquid greasepaint. Early black-and-white film stock did not register a range of colors. Red tones, for example, looked black on screen, so actors compensated by using makeup with blue or green tints. After the development of panchromatic film, which recorded the entire color spectrum, more natural-appearing makeup, called panchromatic makeup, was developed.
Most silent film actors created and applied their own makeup. One of the most inventive was Lon Chaney, who is often called the "man of a thousand faces." He used materials such as fish skin, mortician's wax, and wigs to shape his characters. In the 1926 film The Road to Mandalay, he wore a glass eyepiece similar to a modern contact lens to make one eye look blind. For his role as Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923), Chaney devised a 20-pound plaster hump held on by a leather harness that temporarily deformed his posture.
|Lon Chaney Sr. is widely acknowledged as the most important early innovator of motion picture makeup effects; he transformed himself into many iconic characters that still resonate decades later. Top row (left to right): Chaney in the disguise used by Inspector Burke in London After Midnight (1927), the costume worn by the Phantom in the masquerade scene from The Phantom of the Opera (1925), the Phantom as he appears after being unmasked in The Phantom of the Opera (1925). Bottom row (left to right): Chaney in a studio publicity portrait illustrating his reallife appearance, as Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923), and from an unidentified film. Photos from the collection of the Margaret Herrick Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
In 1931, makeup artist Jack Pierce created the memorable monster in Frankenstein. Pierce researched surgical techniques and human anatomy to imagine where the monster's skull bones might have been joined if a scientist could actually construct a man. He soaked layers of cheesecloth in a thick liquid called collodion and used this to painstakingly build up actor Boris Karloff's face. A heavy layer of greasepaint covered the entire construction.
Later materials such as latex rubber resulted in lighter and more flexible appliances and prosthetics such as fake noses and ears. Unlike the wax used by Lon Chaney, latex didn't crack and could be applied in thin coats for a more lifelike appearance. The 1939 film The Wizard of Oz was the first major film to use foam latex prosthetics on a large scale. Makeup artists Jack Dawn, Charles Schram, and others attached previously prepared pieces to the actors' faces every morning, which saved time in the makeup chair and ensured consistent results throughout filming.
Contemporary prosthetics may be as subtle as the nose worn by actress Nicole Kidman in the film The Hours (2002), or involve a more complicated transformation. James McAvoy, who plays Mr.Tumnus, a half-goat, half-human faun in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005), was fitted with a fiberglass skullcap, silicone ears, and a radiocontrolled device to make his ears wiggle.
In recent years, digital technology has been used on its own or in combination with traditional makeup techniques to create effects that would not have been possible in the past. The hairy parts of Mr.Tumnus's upper body and face were laid down by hand using traditional makeup techniques, but to create the faun's goatlike legs, McAvoy's own legs were digitally removed from all frames, and the faun's legs digitally inserted. New software programs can be used in postproduction to remove wrinkles and blemishes, enhance muscle definition, and whiten teeth.
High definition (HD) digital technology's greater sharpness and clarity poses further challenges to makeup artists and hairstylists. Because current film makeup looks too heavy in high definition, makeup artists are developing more translucent and reflective products. High definition also changes the way hairstylists approach their task. Rather than trying to keep styles looking the same from frame to frame, hairstylists working in HD must develop more relaxed, natural-looking hairstyles and less reflective hair products.
Ask your students to design a makeup. This could be as simple as cutting pictures from magazines or as complicated as the students' abilities allow. Ask each student to make a life-size drawing of his or her face, carefully measuring the placement of the eyes, nose, mouth and other features. These can be very basic drawings.
Ask the students to choose a type of makeup such as aging, monster, beauty, or fantasy. Have them sketch the look by adding facial angles, hair, teeth, and color to their drawings. Again these drawings can be very basic sketches. Discuss what they did in their drawings to modify their expressions and their anatomy. Ask them how they might go about creating their designs. You may want to show the students a film that includes special effects or aging makeup, such as The Chronicles of Narnia, Click, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events or Elizabeth, or pictures of different makeups in books or magazines.
Supplemental Activity
Have your students assemble makeup items including mascara, eye pencils, lipstick, powder, rouge, foundation, artificial fingernails, teeth, wigs, cotton, and anything else they might use to create the makeup they designed. Age makeup can be created using simple elements such as glasses, wigs or powdered hair. Scars can be made by applying a thin 3/8-inch-wide surface of rubber adhesive on a fleshy part of the face or arm. (Duo Adhesive or similar rubber adhesive for false eyelashes is available in most drugstores or department stores.) Dry the adhesive and pinch the skin together. The two sides of the adhesive will hold the skin together in the shape of a scar. Slightly diluted unflavored gelatin can be used to make scabs. Eyeliner or grease paint can be used to draw wrinkles, black eyes, or dark circles under the eyes.
Two tablespoons of red and two teaspoons of yellow food coloring mixed with one pint of clear corn syrup and two tablespoons water makes a satisfactory fake blood. Wet cotton can be stuck to the face with corn syrup to change facial contours. Cotton or tissue can also be used with a coating of eyelash adhesive over the top. Dry the adhesive and color it and the surrounding flesh with rubber-base makeup. See "Additional Resources" for more ideas. Encourage the students to experiment with other household items. Photograph or film the results.

Have you had regrets buying something on the road?
I try to avoid the typical souvenirs, the t-shirts, ballcaps and odd figurines. But there's always something that I want to buy, but I wonder – do I need it?
Will it be a good addition to my wardrobe or home? Is it necessary for me to remember that moment I was in another country with this item?
And then, when I do make a choice, I try to make sure that the item of my affection is not only made locally but made for a good reason.
Wandering markets is one of my favourite side effects of travel, and when I was in Peru's Sacred Valley, I got to visit a couple, many of which had typical souvenirs as much as local handicrafts.
I was deluged with offers from the vendors to buy items – several of which I wondered if it was worth my money to spend. But when I saw this woman, whose baby was wearing several of the displayed items, I made the effort to take a look – and then saw a label – hecho en Peru – which me realize that every destination combats this too – and thankfully this woman had made the effort to show her customers, these items were made locally.
And so a scarf and some socks found their way into my handbag, and my both items are happily used regularly – a wise investment, when there is so much temptation while travelling.

Piles of Pattern
Looks can be deceiving. The seemingly simple Sculpture Brown Round Area Rug from Surya is actually a luxurious mix of pattern and texture. Created by HGTV host and interior designer Candice Olson, this elegant floor covering features a plush high-to-low pile with dynamic handcarved details. Each rug is carefully crafted from premium loomed wool by Indian artisans, who use traditional techniques to make each one by hand. From afar, this rich brown rug looks like a basic neutral, but up close, it surprises with a dimensional design. The round shape lets you use it as a simple layer underfoot or as a subtle way to add pattern and sophistication to your space. Just remember to never judge a rug by its pile.

The $1 road trip
I traveled from Philadelphia to New York City for a buck via Megabus.com. If you find a cheaper fare, let me know.
Yes, $3.50 for three tickets.
How could it be that cheap?
For starters, Megabus.com doesn't have its own terminals. Passengers get picked up and dropped at other companies' facilities, such as 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, or on city streets. Tickets are sold online, so the company doesn't have to pay ticket agents.
Not every seat is a dollar, and fares rise gradually as the vehicle fills up and/or the departure date gets closer. I bought my tickets well in advance, because I knew when I'd be traveling. (Post continues after video.)
Even a same-day fare can be pretty cheap, though. I wound up canceling the D.C. leg of my trip due to Hurricane Irene. With just a few hours' notice, I got a ticket from New York City back to Philadelphia for $15.
A British import
Megabus.com originated in the U.K. and now provides service in the United States and in two Canadian provinces (Ontario and Quebec). In the U.S., it operates along the East Coast from Portland, Maine, down to Orlando, Fla., and as far west as Omaha, Neb.
The average cost of a ticket is $20, but you may pay less than that depending on when you make your reservation and what time you leave. The D.C.-Philly ticket I got for a buck would have cost $6 if I'd decided to leave an hour earlier. Since I wasn't on a tight schedule, I opted for the cheaper seat.
Scheduling is an issue. Buses travel on highways, and traffic jams happen. Two of my trips were 20 to 25 minutes late. I wouldn't count on bus travel to be absolutely on time.
But I don't expect that from airlines, either. Just the competition for overhead bin space, and the need to get unstowed luggage gate-checked, can make a flight leave late. Don't get me started on other things that make air travel stink, such as thunderstorms and equipment failures. One of my 2011 trips, from Los Angeles to Phoenix, was so late that the airline put me on the next scheduled flight.
Megabus.com isn't the only dollar ride in town. BoltBus provides service to eight cities on the East Coast, as far north as Boston and as far south as Washington, D.C. However, this company promises to sell only "at least one" $1 ticket on every trip. On the other hand, its loyalty program gives a free one-way ticket after you've taken eight one-way trips.
Bus travel has a seedy reputation in the U.S. Both Megabus.com and BoltBus are sprucing up the image with more comfortable coaches and free Wi-Fi.
On the NYC-to-Philly trip, the Wi-Fi went in and out. I also found the seat on that particular bus to be not as roomy and comfortable as the British ones. Given what I'd paid for the seat, I wasn't inclined to complain about it, though. I've been on airline trips that felt cramped, too.

G. ReaperComments0
this wiki
Mr. G. Reaper is presumably a skeleton and certainly a guidance counselor at Monster High. He debuted in the webisode "Back-to-Ghoul". It is unknown who his voice actor is.
He has a sympathetic ear for pupils with troubles or worries. He also seems to have a problem understanding when a student is not happy. That, or he likes to see them unhappy.
Classic Monster
G. Reaper's name, outfit and contradictory happy persona play into the character of the Grim Reaper, a skeletal figure said to take people away at the time of their death.
Skeletons are, of all types of undead, the ones most used to represent death. In European tradition, this association particularly took off in the late 14th century, when war, disease and famine were the more likely alternative to living another day safe and sound. Around this time, the Dance of Death genre was introduced, which used skeletons in its imageries as transitional characters between the joys of life and the inevitability of death. From this are the representation of death as a skeletal entity, the Grim Reaper in English, who in the 15th century received his scythe and black hooded cloak attributes. The scythe comes from the fact that, in certain folklore, whenever one's soul was reaped, it sounded like a farmer slicing his scythe to reap his crops.
Volume 2
When Toralei Stripe had returned from math camp in "Back-to-Ghoul", she had apparently done well enough that G. Reaper took the liberty of enrolling her into every advanced math class Monster High had to offer. He seemed not to notice or care about her visible displeased reaction to the news.
- G. Reaper is remarkably similar to Mr. D'eath, who exclusively appeared in the Electronic Fearbook. It's possible Mattel intended them to be the same character, but that there was miscommunication about the identity or trademark problems.
- Whereas G. Reaper only appeared in one webisode, the door to his office made a second appearance in "Monster Mashionals Part 1".

Today's Front Pages Analysis
News of happy and unhappy returns
In the news, it was the day of returns — to the mall, to holiday tradition, to the campaign trail.
The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser found retailers hoping for a rescue with "Gift cards cause 2nd sales surge." Abroad, those hopes turned to Boxing Day sales, as Canada's Calgary Sun predicted a "Shopping Maul."
The Telegraph in Alton, Ill., led with a photo of a mouth-watering display of pies to illustrate the tradition of feeding neighbors: "Volunteers serve crowd at church, deliver dinners to residents."
The Fresno Bee's "Home for the holidays" told of a California soldier, severely injured in Iraq, who made it home to Fresno, with a photo of a sweet kiss from his cousin.
In the Los Angeles Times, "Skid row's Christmas cheer is on the money" tells of a Los Angeles man dubbed Father Dollar Bill who gives money to people in need.
In Fargo, N.D., The Forum's "Gift of gag" told of readers' worst gifts ever. Take heart, reader, if Santa didn't fulfill your fantasies. It could be worse.
One news story on many front pages was "Loose tiger kills visitor at S.F. zoo," as The Herald in Monterey, Calif., said it, with a photo of the tiger, Tatiana.
The San Francisco Chronicle added in a subhead, "Animal is shot to death by police — same cat that mauled a zookeeper who was feeding her almost exactly a year ago."
The Tahoe Daily Tribune told of a local bookstore that was closing, with the story cleverly inserted into the pages of a book.
Speaking of returns, presidential hopefuls are back on trail, and The Des Moines Register wrote of Grundy Center, Iowa, population 2,531, where 13 candidates have visited this season: "A Can't-Miss Exit Emerges in Race: Grundy Center."
In journalism news, The Ledger of Lakeland, Fla., told of an award-winning news anchor in the business for three years. And she's only 9.
Patty Rhule is a project editor at the Newseum.

The Notre Dame Miracle: Fighting Irish Football on the Cover of This Week's Sports IllustratedPosted: November 20, 2012 Filed under: Sports Illustrated Cover, Weekly Issue | Tags: BCS, college football, Notre Dame, notre dame football, sports illustrated, Sports Illustrated Cover Comments Off
Following a wild weekend of upsets in college football, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are ranked No. 1 in the BCS standings for the first time in school history, and No.1 in the Associated Press poll for the first time since November 1993. This rise to the top lands them on the cover of this week's Sports Illustrated, marking the 24th time the Notre Dame football program has been featured on the cover, and the first national cover since Maurice Stovall on September 30, 2002. You can purchase this week's cover here.
The Irish are marching onward to the national championship game – and downward from the moral high ground they have claimed for a century. In this week's Sports Illustrated, senior writer Tim Layden goes inside the football culture change at Notre Dame, a place where the team can't merely be good; it must also call to mind the glory of a century-long football tradition. This year's team is the first one in awhile to do both.
Says current Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith, who played five years at Notre Dame, including two under current head coach Brian Kelly: "You're expected to go to class and not just be a football player. That's real. It's going to be hard academically, just like it's hard academically at a lot of schools. But we're all just college kids, we're all playing football, and we're all going to make mistakes. Notre Dame is not some golden perfect place. It's a place that tries to do the right thing" (page 57).

Review: Chris Powell – Choose to Lose "The 7-Day Carb Cycle Solution" Part 1
Enjoy the weight loss quotes…:)
When you need to lose a few pounds – or many pounds – the carb cycle program presented in "Choose to Lose "by Chris Powell approaches weight loss in a way that still allows you to fit in your favorite foods. Responsibly, of course, as you're still held accountable for your choices.
Christ Powell is the trainer from Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition. If you've watched this show you know that he helps people who are morbidly obese to reclaim their bodies and their health.
Reaching A Healthy Weight Starts By Taking Care Of Your Body:
What you see on TV is hours of exercise every day and careful dieting. But "Choose to Lose", is designed for us. People with a busy life, who can't devote their entire day to a strict weight loss regimen.
Although, The goal for this program is the same here as for the people in the TV show. It's meant to motivate you to WANT to take care of your body and health.
He begins the book by sharing his story of why exercise is so important to him and it helps to see where he's coming from. The rest of the book is divided into two sections: Discovery and Action.
We recommend: a smart way to lose weight
In the Discovery portion, you'll find a series of chapters explaining why you have excess fat and how your body works. There are also several exercises to help you understand your goals and your motivation.
How Metabolism Works:
He explains weight loss and metabolism in ways that are easy to understand. You'll especially find the charts and graphics helpful for making sense of weight, calories, and metabolism.
Making Sense: The Facts And Myth About Weight Loss
You'll also love the section on facts vs. myths about weight loss. Some myths that are very popular are dispelled and you'll learn the truth about how your body can really change.
Developing Realistic Goals:
You'll find some worksheets to help you take your current weight and measurements and develop realistic goals you can attain using the program. In addition there are some instructions on how to prepare for a change in your diet and what to do if you come in contact with triggers.
The Science Behind Carb Cycling:
The second half of the book is the actual diet program based on the idea of carb cycling. He explains the science behind carb cycling and how it keeps you from hitting a weight loss plateau.
You'll learn specifically how he approaches carb cycling – it's not the same as with other trainers. And, you'll also learn that you can have several free meals or a free day of eating whatever you want each week. Really – whatever you want!
Your Own Personal Fitness Routine:
There's also an exercise portion to the program. He has exercise categories called shredders and shapers. He explains how to put together a fitness routine that's appropriate for you.
When you put everything together, you have a diet plan that's pretty easy to follow and that is effective at turning you into a fat burning machine. As you follow the program you eat plenty of healthy foods and get exercise to help you lose weight and tone up.
Why You Want To Succeed With This Program:
The most important part of weight loss is your attitude and mental preparedness and is certainly not ignored in Powell's book. He takes you through several exercises to help you understand your own reasons for starting the program.
Reach Your Goals, One At A Time
The emphasis on goal setting is also valuable and will keep you on track to succeed at weight loss and better health. You can tell that the writer has worked with many people who are in need of this help.
He seems to understand very well the types of things that can cause you to get off course and he helps to steer you back. He gives you solutions for tricky situations when you might be tempted to stray from the plan.

"What are those things? They were first seen in 1998; they don't look like anything we have here on Earth. To this day, no one is sure what they are, but we now know this: They come, then they go. Every Martian spring, they appear out of nowhere, showing up — 70 percent of the time — where they were the year before. They pop up suddenly, sometimes overnight. When winter comes, they vanish."

The U.S. Marshals Service is currently searching for two men wanted for molesting a Newton County child, and other charges.
The men identified as Donald Mac Brown, 36, and David Wesley Crawford, 57, are wanted by the Conyers Police Department for sexual exploitation of children. And both men are wanted by the Newton County Sheriff's Office for child molestation and other charges.
Law enforcement said Brown and Crawford are armed with guns and knives and are believed to be hiding out in the wooded areas of Newton County.
"They are frequent outdoor folks. They are familiar with their surroundings in Newton County, which we believe (is where) they still are," James Joyner, the supervisory inspector with the U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, said. "They are a threat not only to us, but the general public. If they want to contact us and arrange for their safe surrender, that is an option. We want to do whatever we can to safely put these people behind bars."
The men are believed to be traveling together in a 1999 White Ford F-150 with Georgia tag BZX9023.
If you have any information on their whereabouts call Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477.

The richest two days in sports just got a little sweeter.
The 2013 Breeders' Cup and Goodie Girls, the award-winning bakery, have teamed up again for the fun and delicious tradition of creating an Official Breeders' Cupcake! This year's flavor, Pumpkin Pancake, is a Goodie Girls classic and captures the essence of fall with a spiced pumpkin cake with a maple drizzle, frosted with a maple buttercream and topped with chopped toasted pecans. In addition, Goodie Girls will be offering a Breeders' Cupcake Collection of cupcakes in four flavors that includes Pumpkin Pancake, Chocolate Salted Butterscotch, Strawberries n' Cream and Carrot Ginger.
The Breeders' Cupcake Collection will be on sale today through November 2 at Goodie Girls Glendale, the new La Cañada Flintridge location, and at Breeders' Cup events, October 29 - November 2. Breeders' Cupcakes can also be ordered by calling (818) 545-0434 in Glendale or (818) 790-7718 in La Cañada. Click here for the recipe.

The term "diastrophic" is Greek and means "crooked". Although diastrophic dysplasia occurs in most countries, the highest prevalence is found in Finland (1 in 33,000) where the carrier rate in the population is 1 – 2% (3). The incidence in non-Finnish populations is considerably lower, being 1 in 500,000 live births (6).
Diastrophic dysplasia is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, with very wide variability of phenotypic expression. Approximately 5% of cases constitute new mutations (6).
Diastrophic dysplasia is caused by a mutation in the gene coding for a sulfate transporter protein that is essential for normal cartilage function. This protein is called DTDST and was first identified by Hastabacka and colleagues in 1994 (1). The gene is located on chromosome 5 (5q31-q34). Mutations in the same gene are responsible for lethal chondrodysplasias.
Proteoglycans are complex molecules that absorb water and facilitate load bearing in articular cartilage. Reduction in sulfate transporter concentrations in chondrocytes causes under-sulfation of the proteoglycan matrix and predisposes individuals to early degenerative joint disease. Diastrophic dysplasia affects chondrocyte function in the growth plate, epiphyseal region and other areas such as the trachea.
The physical characteristics of diastrophic dysplasia include a short limbed form of disproportionate short stature. Both joint dislocations and joint contractures can be present. Intelligence is typically average.
Face & Skull
- Narrow nasal bridge and broad midportion of the nose
- Long and broad philtrum
- High, broad forehead
- Square jaw
- Cleft palate in approximately 50% of children
- Capillary hemangiomas called an "Angel's kiss" can be present in the midforehead region. They will disappear or fade with time.
- In the majority of patients in first 2 weeks of life, cystic swellings of the ear appear but resolve spontaneously, resulting in the characteristic "cauliflower ear" deformity.
Arms & Legs:
- Shortening of limbs
- "Hitchhiker's thumb." Due to poor development of the bone supporting the thumb, the main thumb joint deviates outwards
- Limited movement of the fingers due to symphalangism
- Dislocations of the elbow and shoulder
- Dislocated kneecap
- Clubfoot
- Abnormal gait
- Weight bearing on balls of feet and toes with compensatory knee and hip flexion
What are the X-ray characteristics?
The radiographic features of Diastrophic Dysplasia include short and broad long bones of the limbs. The metaphyses are flared and crescent-shaped, and flattened epiphyses are typical. The epiphyses of the proximal tibias are triangular and larger than those of the distal femoral epiphyses. The metacarpals, metatarsals, and phalanges are deformed and shortened. Cervical kyphosis and thoraco-lumbar kyphoscholiosis are characteristic at different ages. There is a moderate narrowing of the interpediculate distances within the lower lumbar segments of spine. The hips are either partially or completely dislocated.
The condition is typically recognized at birth based on physical and radiographic evaluation. Milder variants or atypical cases may not be diagnosed until a later age. If suspicions arise during a prenatal ultrasound, molecular testing can be done from an aminocentesis sample.
In parents who already have children with diastrophic dysplasia, an ultrasound scan or molecular genetic testing (using DNA from amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling) in the first trimester of pregnancy offers the possibility of prenatal diagnosis of this condition.
Cervical Spine
Cervical kyphosis is present in 30 – 50% of individuals. It is due to hypoplasia of the vertebral bodies and progressive degenerative changes in the intervertebral joints. Kyphosis can be sufficiently severe and will cause a predisposition to spinal cord compression and quadriplegia (weakness of all 4 extremities and incontinence). Short, sharply angulated curves are associated with severe kyphosis and increase the incidence of neurological abnormalities. Surgery may be necessary to alleviate the spinal cord compression in the neck. A halo and vest device is usually employed after surgery to support the neck until stable fusion is achieved. Occasionally, the kyphosis will resolve spontaneously.
Thoracolumbar Spine
Scoliosis, although not apparent at birth, will become severe as weight bearing increases. The curves usually develop around 5 years of age but can develop even before walking age. The spine curvature causes trunk deformity and barrel chest. Three distinct patterns of scoliosis occur: early progressive, idiopathic-type and mild non-progressive. Kyphoscoliosis occurs frequently (up to 90% of patients) in the lumbar region of the spine. Lumbar lordosis is increased due to exaggerated thoracic kyphosis and concomitant hip flexion contractures (hip joint is fixed with the thigh bent forwards).
Severe Clubfoot
Severe clubfoot is almost always present and typically requires surgical release. Surgery is usually undertaken around 1-year of age, to enable the child to start walking. In spite of early intervention, recurrence of the foot deformity is common and an osteotomy may become necessary. Special shoes are oftentimes required.
Progressive Sublixation
Progressive subluxation of the hips occurs because the soft articular cartilage is unable to perform its normal function of load bearing. Superimposed joint contractures around the hips and knees lead to restricted movement and deformity. If the deformity interferes with walking, an osteotomy is performed around the hips or knees. Due to the intrinsic cartilage abnormality, degenerative joint disease (arthritis) is common. Flexion deformities are pronounced. Knees are dislocated. Hip or knee replacement surgery is usually necessary in early to mid-adult life and typically has successful results.
Respiratory Obstruction
Respiratory obstruction, including laryngeal stenosis, may occur in newborns. The mortality rate due to respiratory distress can approach 25% in early infancy.
Hypoplastic Cartilage
Hypoplastic cartilage in the trachea and larynx causes voice abnormalities and breathing difficulty.
Small Auditory Canals
Small auditory canals are characteristic, but this does not usually impair hearing. However, deformity of the middle ear ossicles can result in
hearing loss.
In infancy, it is important to be regularly monitored by a pediatric orthopedic surgeon so that future problems of the feet and spine can be managed and possibly evaded. Surgery is usually performed before walking age to correct foot deformities.
Later in life, patients must look out for worsening foot deformities, progressive curvature of the spine, and hip pain in early adult life (due to arthritis). Common surgical procedures intended to correct these problems include an osteotomy of the foot or lower leg (to achieve a plantigrade foot) or hip replacement surgery (for progressive degenerative arthritis).
Occasionally, spinal cord compression in the neck can lead to quadriparesis, resulting in a loss of limb function. Symptoms to watch for include a loss of walking or reduced endurance, altered sensations in the arms and legs, or incontinence. Oftentimes patients undergo spinal fusion surgery in the neck or lower back, along with decompression of the spinal cord.
Generally all skeletal dysplasias warrant multidisciplinary attention. Regular assessment by an orthopedist, geneticist, pediatrician, dentist, neurologist, and physical therapist will provide the most comprehensive treatment.

There's been a lot of discussion over the years about the proper way to refer to someone with dwarfism. Many people who have the condition prefer the term "little person" or "person of short stature." For some, "dwarf" is acceptable. For most, "midget" definitely is not.
But here's an idea everyone can agree on: Why not simply call a person with dwarfism by his or her name?
Being of short stature is only one of the characteristics that make a little person who he or she is. If you're the parent or loved one of a little person, you know this to be true.
But here are some facts that other people may not realize about dwarfism and those who have it.
- is characterized by short stature. Technically, that means an adult height of 4 feet 10 inches or under, according to the advocacy group Little People of America (LPA).
- can be caused by any one of more than 300 conditions, most of which are genetic. The most common type, accounting for 70% of all cases of short stature, is called achondroplasia.
- can and most often does occur in families where both parents are of average height. In fact, 4 out of 5 of children with achondroplasia are born to average-size parents.
Dwarfism isn't:
- an intellectual disability. A person who has dwarfism is typically of normal intelligence.
- a disease that requires a "cure." Most people with one of these conditions live long, fulfilling lives.
- a reason to assume someone is incapable. Little people go to school, go to work, marry, and raise children, just like their average-size peers.
What Causes Short Stature?
More than 300 well-described conditions are known to cause short stature in a child. Most are caused by a spontaneous genetic change (mutation) in the egg or sperm cells prior to conception. Others are caused by genetic changes inherited from one or both parents.
Similarly, depending on the type of condition causing the short stature, it is possible for two average-size parents to have a child with short stature, and is also possible for parents who are little people to have an average-size child.
What prompts a gene to mutate is not yet clearly understood. The change is seemingly random and unpreventable, and can occur in any pregnancy. If parents have some form of dwarfism themselves, the odds are much greater that their children will also be little people. A genetic counselor can help determine the likelihood of passing on the condition in these cases.
Dwarfism has other causes, including metabolic or hormonal disorders in infancy or childhood. Chromosomal abnormalities, pituitary gland disorders (which influence growth and metabolism), absorptive problems (when the body can't absorb nutrients adequately), and kidney disease can all lead to short stature if a child fails to grow at a normal rate.
Types of Short Stature
Most types of dwarfism are known as skeletal dysplasias, which are conditions of abnormal bone growth. They're divided into two types: short-trunk and short-limb dysplasias. People with short-trunk dysplasia have a shortened trunk with more average-sized limbs, whereas those with short-limb dysplasia have an average-sized trunk but shortened arms and legs.
By far, the most common skeletal dysplasia is achondroplasia, a short-limb dysplasia that occurs in about 1 of every 15,000 to 40,000 babies born of all races and ethnicities. It can be caused by a spontaneous mutation in a gene called FGFR3, or a child can inherit a change in this gene from a parent who also has achondroplasia.
People with achondroplasia have a relatively long trunk and shortened upper parts of their arms and legs. They may share other features as well, such as a larger head with a prominent forehead, a flattened bridge of the nose, shortened hands and fingers, and reduced muscle tone. The average adult height for someone with achondroplasia is a little over 4 feet.
Diastrophic dysplasia is a different form of short-limb dwarfism. It occurs in about 1 in 100,000 births, and is also sometimes associated with cleft palate, clubfeet, and ears with a cauliflower-like appearance. People who have this diagnosis tend to have shortened forearms and calves (this is known as mesomelic shortening).
Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasias (SED) refers to a group of various short-trunk skeletal conditions that occurs in about 1 in 95,000 babies. Along with achondroplasia and diastrophic dysplasia, it is one of the most common forms of dwarfism. In some forms, a lack of growth in the trunk area may not become apparent until the child is between 5 and 10 years old; other forms are apparent at birth. Kids with this disorder also might have clubfeet, cleft palate, and a barrel-chested appearance.
In general, dwarfism caused by skeletal dysplasias results in what is known as disproportionate short stature — meaning the limbs and the trunk are not the same proportionally as those of typically-statured people.
Metabolic or hormonal disorders typically cause proportionate dwarfism, meaning a person's arms, legs, and trunk are all shortened but remain in proportion to overall body size.
Some types of dwarfism can be identified through prenatal testing if a doctor suspects a particular condition and tests for it.
But most cases are not identified until after the child is born. In those instances, the doctor makes a diagnosis based on the child's appearance, failure to grow, and X-rays of the bones. Depending on the type of dwarfism the child has, diagnosis often can be made almost immediately after birth.
Once a diagnosis is made, there is no "treatment" for most of the conditions that lead to short stature. Hormonal or metabolic problems may be treated with hormone injections or special diets to spark a child's growth, but skeletal dysplasias cannot be "cured."
People with these types of dwarfism can, however, get medical care for some of the health complications associated with their short stature.
Some forms of dwarfism also involve issues in other body systems — such as vision or hearing — and require careful monitoring.
Possible Complications and Treatments
Short stature is the one quality all people with dwarfism have in common. After that, each of the many conditions that cause dwarfism has its own set of characteristics and possible complications.
Fortunately, many of these complications are treatable, so that people of short stature can lead healthy, active lives.
For example, a small percentage of babies with achondroplasia may experience hydrocephalus (excess fluid around the brain). They may also have a greater risk of developing apnea — a temporary stop in breathing during sleep — because of abnormally small or misshapen anatomy or, more likely, because of airway obstruction by the adenoids or the tonsils. Occasionally, a part of the brain or spinal cord is compressed. With close monitoring by doctors, however, these potentially serious problems can be detected early and surgically corrected.
As a child with dwarfism grows, other issues may also become apparent, including:
- delayed development of some motor skills, such as sitting up and walking
- a greater susceptibility to ear infections and hearing loss
- breathing problems caused by small chests
- weight problems
- curvature of the spine (scoliosis, kyphosis, and/or lordosis)
- bowed legs
- trouble with joint flexibility and early arthritis
- lower back pain or leg numbness
- crowding of teeth in the jaw
Proper medical care can alleviate many of these problems. For example, surgery often can bring relief from the pain of joints that wear out under the stress of bearing weight differently with limited flexibility.
Surgery also can be used to improve some of the leg, hip, and spine problems people with short stature sometimes face.
Nonsurgical options may help, too — for instance, excessive weight can worsen many orthopedic problems, so a nutritionist might help develop a healthy plan for shedding extra pounds. And doctors or physical therapists can recommend ways to increase physical activity without putting extra stress on the bones and joints.
Helping Your Child
Although types of dwarfism, and their severity and complications, vary from person to person, in general a child's life span is not affected by dwarfism. Although the Americans with Disabilities Act protects the rights of people with dwarfism, many members of the short-statured community don't feel that they have a disability.
You can help your child with dwarfism lead the best life possible by building his or her sense of independence and self-esteem right from the start.
Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Treat your child according to his or her age, not size. If you expect a 6-year-old to clean up his or her room, don't make an exception simply because your child is small.
- Adapt to your child's limitations. Something as simple as a light switch extender can give a short-statured child a sense of independence around the house.
- Present your child's condition — both to your child and to others — as a difference rather than a hindrance. Your attitude and expectations can have a significant influence on your child's self-esteem.
- Learn to deal with people's reactions, whether it's simple curiosity or outright ignorance, without anger. Address questions or comments as directly as possible, then take a moment to point out something special about your child. If your child is with you, this approach shows that you notice all the other qualities that make him or her unique. It will also help prepare your child for dealing with these situations when you're not there.
- If your child is teased at school, don't overlook it. Talk to teachers and administrators to make sure your child is getting the support he or she needs.
- Encourage your child to find a hobby or activity to enjoy. If sports aren't going to be your child's forte, then maybe music, art, computers, writing, or photography will be.
- Finally, get involved with support associations like the Little People of America. Getting to know other people with dwarfism — both as peers and mentors — can show your child just how much he or she can achieve.

Microsoft Puts Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool under GPL
Microsoft had released a tool in mid-November that generated bootable USB media or a DVD from the download version of Windows 7 and that conflicted with the GNU Public License. They now followed up by putting the tool under GPLv2.
Microsoft's open source community manager Peter Galli announced the release of the Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool (WUDT for short) and its licensing on the Port25 website designed to communicate with the open source community. Galli indicated that WUDT can now again be downloaded from the Codeplex.com site.
As was revealed earlier, WUDT in its original form included code not originating from Microsoft that was under GPL.
The release under GPLv2 wasn't without some changes made due to licensing reasons. In the original version Microsoft packaged a variety of programs required for installation, among them the .NET framework, IMAPI to burn DVDs and Bootsect.exe, a Windows 7 program that makes USB sticks bootable. The three programs must now be installed separately because of their separate licensing. Microsoft provides an installation guide for the purpose.
