Comments about Bella Vita Nouveau (Women's):
I was very excited about this Bootie because I have so many items that I can wear with them. Right out of the box, they are very stylish and the burgundy color is spectacular. I wore this Bootie on Sunday to a Brunch. I had to walk ONE BLOCK to the restaurant and my feet were feeling some kind of way...not comfy. I had to walk back and forth to the buffet table and during my second visit to the buffet the pain was unbearable so I said I would not walk until it was time to go. Leaving out to walk the one block I had to take them off because they hurt my feet so bad. I paid too much for these shoes and I wish I could get a refund. I would not recommend.

Carbide.c++ Tutorial 2 - Getting Input from user
This code example shows how to use the Carbide.c++ designer to create a single line data query input dialog. The example presents the user with an input dialog: once the user enters text and selects the OK softkey the entered text is displayed to the user.
The input dialog is in the Carbide.c++ designers's Notes and Dialogs section.
See this tutorial first in order to understand basics of creating and running an application: Helloworld tutorial
Step 1 - Start a new project
- Start with a new project using Carbide.c++ IDE.
- Call it dialogs ( or whatever you like).
Once you are done with all basic steps you will see this window.
Step 2 - Add Single Line Data Query
Now add the Single Line Data Query input dialog to the form.
When selected from control pane, it would appear as below.
Step 3 - Delete the default
Now delete the default text appearing in the text area of the dialog.
Step 4 - Add event handler
- Add one menu item in the options menu.
- Refer to the above mentioned hello-world tutorial.
- Call this menu item as "Get Input".
- Now add an event handler to the menu item.
In the event handler the add the code for
Step 5 - Generated Code
Notice that the IDE generated code for the function to show the data query dialog. Remember not to tamper with the code between the tags called "generated code" this may stop auto generation of code.
Step 6 - Executing the application
Now we are done with the code and design part. Run the application to text it in emulator and following should be the output.
Step 7 - Changing the properties
The properties of the dialog can be altered visually in GUI designer. Right click the dialog and then select "Show properties view" option.
This way we can develop the GUI based application using Carbide.C++ very quickly. Once the basic idea of using dialogs with the IDE is clear, one can go for other dialogs in the application.

A few days ago we went on a visit to Jay Leno's garage via YouTube and had the chance to watch Leno drive the Tramontana R . Today we come with some more news about the Spanish supercar. While filming Jay Leno's episode, the Spanish driver, Oriol Servia, revealed that the Tramontana was preparing a racing version powered by a V10 engine developed by Cosworth.
The standard Tramontana R is powered by a V12 engine that develops 550 HP or 720 HP with two turbos. Despite this amazing power the Spanish company has difficulties in selling the car so a racing version was the next logical step to ensure future sales. It will be lighter than the road-legal version and will come with more power under the hood.

Rachel Jackson Receives Award for Advocacy Efforts
Rachel Jackson, Program Administrator for the Human Rights Institute, received an award from the Connecticut Breastfeeding Coalition on October 9, 2012 for her contributions to the health of Connecticut's mothers and children through her advocacy and testimony on behalf of the 2012 Senate Bill 194: An Act Concerning Jury Duty for Breastfeeding Mothers.
The bill, SB 194, signed into law by Governor Malloy on May 31, 2012, requires that the Judicial Branch maintain a website with information for breastfeeding women on their ability to postpone jury service and information about the accommodations that can be made for breastfeeding mothers who wish to report for Jury Duty. Additionally, Jury Administration is now required to provide training to their staff on the needs of breastfeeding mothers who have been summoned for jury duty and work with mothers to provide reasonable accommodation when they report for jury duty.
As recognition for the work that she did on SB 194 and her desire for continued involvement with the CBC, Rachel was asked to join the Board of Directors of the Connecticut Breastfeeding Coalition in June 2012.

Hector Gonzalez straps a five-string bass guitar over his belly inside a music studio on a dreary stretch of Monterey Park. He plays as a smooth, prerecorded tenor joins a funky accordion through his headphones.
Trying to bite a bullet, or sometimes count to 10,
For the sake of argument, let's just pretend,
We both agree to disagree.
Gonzalez is helping a silky-voiced old bandmate record a nostalgic-sounding soul album. But in a larger sense, the 59-year-old music producer is trying to keep alive a legacy he inherited 18 years ago.
Gonzalez is the head of Rampart Records, which earned a measure of fame in the 1960s as the originator of the "West Coast Eastside Sound" — and whose founder dreamed of its becoming a Mexican American Motown.
That was Eddie Davis, who produced bands from Boyle Heights, East L.A. and the San Gabriel Valley with names like the Blendells, the Romancers, the Premiers, and Cannibal and the Headhunters. The last group toured with the Beatles in 1965 after scoring a big hit with "Land of a Thousand Dances."
Rampart's stable of musicians consisted of kids from the barrios, often discouraged by their parents from speaking Spanish because they were afraid they would be discriminated against. Their role models were often black artists. One weekend they might share the same stage at the El Monte Legion Stadium with Chuck Berry or Ray Charles, and the next vie with mariachis for gigs at baptismal parties, quinceañeras and weddings.
But by the 1970s, with immigration from Mexico booming, the distinctly Mexican American sound that Rampart championed — almost all of it sung in English — became overshadowed by Mexican music, which appealed to both the American-born and the immigrant.
Even though several Mexican American bands, including East L.A.'s Los Lobos, have gained fame since, Gonzalez believes most acts are largely overshadowed by Spanish-language artists, particularly from Mexico, who get to tap into a colossal media network including TV giants like Univision and popular Spanish-language radio stations.
"The Mexican American isn't seen as being as profitable, man," he says, revealing an undercurrent of tension between the two groups. "The immigrant is more profitable."
That hasn't stopped him from trying to resurrect the dream of a Mexican American Motown, re-releasing classic albums, making the music digitally available in scores of countries and signing new acts.
He knows it won't be easy. But he believes it's his destiny.
"I figured I'm going to try to be the guy, even if I end up homeless."
Gonzalez is sitting in his Rampart Records office in a squat stucco cottage in Santa Fe Springs, across the street from a gentlemen's club and conjoined to a smog-testing business.
It's a cave of an office, about the size of a cruise ship cabin, packed with vintage Vox amplifiers, recording equipment, vinyl albums, master tapes and promotional material from the '60s and '70s, and random toys like the monster from Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic "Alien." A promotional pamphlet Davis conjured up in 1970 proclaims: "The Sound of a New Generation, Chicanos are Happening!"
The office doubles as his home, with a fridge and a sink. In a back room, an oversized guitar — or guitarron — hangs over his bed, along with a poster of Robert De Niro from "Taxi Driver" and a painting of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus. He likes to work on his music at night, when the noise outside on Norwalk Boulevard ebbs.
Nothing in the office suggests that a would-be music mogul occupies it except Gonzalez's energy. Stocky, with a robust mustache and a baseball cap, Gonzalez drives a pale olive green '65 Thunderbird with a rust-marbled top and talks in fast superlatives.
"My whole thing was to keep the legacy and the voice of the Mexican American going," he says. "The musical voice of us."

Children and grown-ups alike flocked to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in its first weekend of release, and now Hollywood is betting the the '90s nostalgia wave will last least two more years – on Wenesday, Lionsgate announced that its Mighty Morphin Power Rangers reboot will hit theaters on Jully 22, 2016.
The studio has signed the the writers of Thor, to produce a script off a story by Star Trek's Robert Orci. There are no plot details yet, but knowing that Lionsgate was the studio behind Ender's Game, The Hunger Games and I, Frankenstein, it's likely the Power Rangers movie will skew in the same dour, effects-driven direction.
So let's cast the thing, then, with the quality of actors who might be able to bring a gritty realness to this tale of five teenagers with attitude picked to defeat the evil Rita Repulsa. We're gong to abide by the same racial casting standards used in the first iteration of the Power Rangers squad. If it makes you uncomfortable, that's OK – that awkwardness is practically an integral part of Power Rangers at this point.

Whether or not your shipment contains stackable freight is important to many factors that affect the freight shipping process. These factors can affect the price, trailer space used and overall shipment process. The current status of the transportation industry is making it extremely important to make sure you pay attention to the question, "To stack or not to stack?"
As capacity tightens in the industry, carriers are making sure they use all the trailer space in their trucks and essentially making freight fit where it shouldn't sometimes. Because of this, many businesses and shippers are having problems with damaged freight. Carriers prefer to have clean stackable freight, which includes shipments that are wrapped and palletized, with no overhangs and are stackable.

Over the last decade, the use of sentinel node biopsy has reduced the number of patients who need a full axillary lymph node dissection for treatment and staging of breast cancer.
This represents a very important advance because a sentinel node biopsy is much less likely to lead to long term lymphedema--chronic swelling of the arm that can have a large impact on day-to-day activities and quality of life. However, when one or more sentinel nodes, which are identified by using a blue colored dye and radioactive tracer, are found to contain tumor cells, a full axillary dissection is recommended.
Sentinel node biopsies are done in patients who do not have any nodes felt on physical examination, but about one third of patients who are found to have tumor in the sentinel nodes are currently treated with follow-up complete surgery.
To determine whether additional surgery and its attendant risks are really needed, the American College of Surgeons conducted a trial to see if patients with up to three positive sentinel nodes could be spared a full dissection. This randomized trial compared no further surgery to full dissection in such patients, and the results showed no difference in the number of patients that had a recurrence in the breast or under the arm--about 3 to 4 percent overall, with six years of follow-up.
In the commentary provided on this abstract it was stated that these results are "practice changing" and if adopted, would make a big difference in the side effect profile of breast surgery in the estimated 50,000 of patients who undergo axillary dissection in the United States.RELATED POSTS
I am a 1+ year IDC survivor who opted for breast conservation surgery and sentinel node biopsy. What a relief that this study was done and it is reassuring that the results showed no difference in recurrence rates between the two groups. In my breast cancer support group, there are many women who suffer with lymphedema secondary to their axillary node dissection when a sentinel node biopsy was not common practice. With new pathologic testing, my concern is the middle ground where there is micro metastasis found in the sentinel node. What is the next step in these cases? In cases where there is a small tumor (< 1cm) and clear margins, I question if a full dissection be appropriate since axillary node dissection is done to stage the cancer, not prevent metastasis. It will be interesting to see the results of further studies.

I am so happy to read this! Two years ago my sentinel node was found to have a cell of cancer (and maybe more since they don't look at the whole node). I opted to not have any further nodes removed, because, as an artist, I was very afraid of lymphodema and any resulting damage to my arm. It was the one choice I made that made me nervous-but now it looks like I can relax (somewhat)
- Posted by cynthia 7/28/10 3:27 PM
I wasn't given a choice after one of the sentinel nodes was found to have a cell of cancer. So the doctor removed 14 nodes under my right arm. I was asleep & was never asked. So far I haven't had any trouble but I wished I had a choice.
- Posted by Denise Thomas 7/28/10 6:20 PM
My surgeon did a sentinel node biopsy (0/3) and did not proceed to do an axillary node dissection, even though guidelines call for a full axillary node dissection if you have Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC). I was not given any choice in the matter. I've had no recurrence since my surgery in the Spring of 2008 and hope to remain NED (no evidence of disease/no expiration date) for many years. If I had been given a choice, I probably would have gone for the full dissection set forth in the guidelines and taken my chances with getting lymphedema.

Flash Drive: 2009 MINI Cooper John Cooper Works
This 2009 review is representative of model years 2007 to 2013.
By Staff of MSN Autos
View Pictures: 2009 MINI Cooper JCW
I've always loved driving the MINI, and this John Cooper Works special edition takes the experience up a notch. With more than 200 turbocharged horses on tap and a short-throw 6-speed manual transmission, the MINI JCW is great fun. In fact, driving the nimble little creature is about as much on-road entertainment as you can have with front-wheel drive. The JCW handles the way it does mostly because of the car's diminutive size. Unfortunately, that small size translates to a rather claustrophobic interior. This was a major issue for my wife and daughter, neither of whom enjoyed being in the car. That small size does help at the gas pump, though. I averaged 26 mpg — an impressive number after a few days of driving the MINI pretty hard. I found this to be a great driver's car, not a great passenger's car. – Perry Stern
The MINI Cooper has always been sporty and a blast to drive, but the 2009 MINI John Cooper Works takes it up another level. The automaker has pumped up the power to 208 horses, 36 more than the already quick Cooper S. A 6-speed manual transmission and sport suspension help the driver keep this little rocket under control, while the perfectly tuned exhaust note, exiting through two large, center-mounted pipes, lets everyone know that this MINI means business. With all that power going to the front wheels, torque steer becomes a factor, particularly at low speeds. Sport seats, checkered-flag floor mats and 17-inch alloy wheels set the JCW apart from other MINI versions. But like all the other MINIs on the road, everyone seems to love this sports car packed into a tiny package. – Mike Meredith
Take the almost perfect MINI Cooper S and add better handling and performance and you have the John Cooper Works package. This car loves to cruise around town or carve up hills, and the larger chromed exhaust makes a sweet sound when you punch the accelerator. Thanks to the peppy turbocharged engine and the light curb weight, the Cooper Works feels more powerful than it actually is. Not only is it a blast to drive, I still achieved 32 mpg in mixed driving. While the Cooper Works is petite, it still has a usable back seat and decent luggage-carrying capacity if the rear seats are folded down. If you are looking for a quick car that doesn't break your wallet at the pump, take this car out for a test drive. – Joe Chulick

DH was at a stop light when the car behind him stopped and then proceeded to roll an BARELY bump into DH. My 3 year old was in her diono RXT and the base of the chicco was in there too. The manual and people at diono say ANY ACCIDENT to replace the seat.
DH didn't exchange info with the other driver (which pisses me off to no end!!!!!!!!!!)
What would you do? Replace the car seat at your own cost or not?
On one hand I want to replace it because the manufacturer says to after any accident but on the other hand I don't bc it was barely a tap (under 2 mph). BUT if we were to get into another accident and the car seat failed then I would be soooooooooo mad at DH.....well I kind of already am mad bc he didn't get the drivers info! I don't want to put my kids life in jeopardy though!!

text: Macy department store has moved Joan Jett and her band off the South Dakota tourism float in its upcoming Thanksgiving Day parade after ranchers complained about having Jett, a vegetarian and animal rights advocate representing their state. South Dakota farmers and ranchers were concerned about the choice to put Jett on the float because she is a supporter of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Jett released a statement that said she'd decided to switch floats to keep political agendas from getting in the way of entertaining the people celebrating a great American tradition. A Macy's parade spokesman said a new performer for the South Dakota float will be announced later, and added that the annual parade in New York City is about entertainment, not advocacy, and that applied to almost any political cause.

The former West High boys basketball coach and athletic director at Kimball High is tracking his nephew, Brian Thornton, a setter on a 2012 USA men's volleyball team.
The team hoped to repeat USA's gold medal performance of the 2008 games in Beijing, before Thornton joined the team, but ended up just short of this year's medal rounds.
But the USA team lost in the quarterfinals on Wednesday, Aug. 8, to Italy 3-0, after advancing to the elimination round as the top seed from Pool B with a record of 4-1. Bulgaria, Russia, Brazil and Italy will compete in Friday's semifinals.
Brian Thornton, 27, of San Clemente, is the son of Steve Thornton's older brother, Mike Thornton, who is head coach of the Orange Coast College women's junior college basketball team in Costa Mesa.
"My brother and his family, they're all over there and enjoying the experience," Steve Thornton said.
His nephew is a two-time All-American out of University of California, Irvine, where his team won the NCAA national championship during his senior year in 2007.
The 6-foot-3 setter also became UC Irvine's all-time assists leader with 4,662 during his college career, including 1,645 assists during his senior year.
Brian Thornton joined the Jastrzebski Wegiel club team in Poland three years ago and has been on the U.S. national team for two years.
Steve Thornton said that while the team was aiming for the gold medal, just having the chance to see a relative compete in London made the Olympics a big deal for Brian's extended family.
"There are only 12 guys on the team, so it's highly competitive to make the team," he said. "It's just been a great experience for him."

Add color to your spring garden with a variety of plants. Spring bulbs, combined with early blooming perennials look great with the blossoms of Betty magnolia.
Spring perennials like long blooming hellebore have evergreen leaves, interesting blooms and are usually overlooked by the deer.
The delicate blue flowers of Brunnera make a great filler in the garden bed. The variegated leaves of many cultivars like Jack Frost brighten the shade throughout the season.
Lungwort's (Pulmonaria) funnel shaped flowers are favorites of hummingbirds and can be found in white, reddish-pink or pink fading to blue. The hairy leaves tend to discourage the deer and the variegated varieties lighten the shade.
The fine texture of the fern-leaf peony (Paeonia tenuifolia) is the perfect backdrop for single or double red flowers. Though the leaves fade in late summer their unique appearance has earned them a spot in many gardens.
The white spots on the leaves of lungwort give it the appearance of a diseased lung. This led to both the common name and the botanical name Pulmonaria (Latin for lung). Herbalists once believed when a plant resembled a body part it must have healing powers for it.

Our Mission
is to provide professional assistance early and in a timely manner so that problems do not worsen. Such concerns may include workplace stress, marriage and family tensions, alcohol and drug abuse, and other difficulties. Counselors at Three Trails assess the scope and nature of the presenting concerns and will provide counseling or refer the individuals to specialized services if appropriate.
Three Trails EFAP is staffed by two full time counselors, one part-time counselor, and an office manager. More information or scheduling of appointments may be obtained through calling 307-237-5750 or stopping by the office at 812 South David Street, Casper, WY.
Three Trails EFAP was set up in 1999 as the last program in a model that originated thoughout Canada. At present, there are approximately 18 programs in all. Our umbrella organization, Insight EFAP International, brings these programs together once a year to further development of our services for the benefit of employees. Currently, Three Trails EFAP is the only program in the United States.
Three Trails EFAP, a professionally staffed counseling agency, is located at 812 South David Street in a remote location. It is purposely not housed in any member worksites to preserve confidentiality of the clients and, therefore, make it a safer and more attractive environment. It is staffed by a licensed marriage and family therapist, 2 licensed professional counselors, and an office manager. A resource library is also available for members to check out materials on a variety of issues that help promote emotional growth.
A unique aspect of the program is the ability of a spouse, live-in partner, or dependent family member ( Up to age 18 ) to also use the service. While they may be seen as part of marriage or family counseling, they may also use the service independently of the employee.
Concerns that individuals may bring to Three Trails can be anything that interferes with living, such as marital or parenting problems, alcohol and drug use, workplace stress, depression, and many others. No concern is inappropriate since it is the counselor's job to refer individuals to appropriate services if the problem is outside of his/her expertise or falls beyond the capability of counseling at Three Trails. More importantly, no concern is too small, since prevention and early intervention is the goal of the program.
Three Trails EFAP is governed by a Board of Directors made up of designated employees of member worksites. The Executive Director of Three Trails is directly accountable to the Board and thus is accountable to the member worksites. The Board is responsible for setting policies regarding the philosophy and function of Three Trails and supervising the Executive Director.
The Employee and Family Assistance Program is also comprised of workplace EFAP committees and representatives. These are trained employees that promote the EFAP and use of Three Trails for those that may benefit from it. In addition, EFAP committees facilitate educational programming within their worksites that serves to strengthen positive living skills in their employees.
Lynette Cotton is the Executive Director of Three Trails EFAP. She received her Bachelors degree from Adams State University in Heath with a minor in Reading. A Colorado native, Lynette arrived in Casper from Portland, OR where shewas the Chief Administrative Assistant to Larry Steele (Portland Trailblazer Alum) and The Hoop USA assisting in the growth and development of a series of high end sports and health facilities throughout the United States.
Lynette joined Three Trails EFAP in July of 2006. She loves to travel with her husband, Todd, being active in her church & spending time with their children and grandchildren.
Christy graduated from the University of Wyoming with a Master of Science in Counselor Education in 2008. Christy is a Licensed Professional Counselor with the State of Wyoming and is a National Certified Counselor as well.
Christy started her career in the counseling field working at the Central Wyoming Counseling Center as a Case Manager in 2003 and then the Foster Parent Coordinator in 2005. She then moved on as the primary therapist for Mercer Family Resource Center, formally known as Mercer House, in 2006. There, she had extensive training and work in group therapy, substance abuse, and child/adolescent therapy.
Christy considers herself to be an existential and experiential therapist and uses a lot of art therapy, hands-on activities, and creative play in therapy. She is trained in Becoming a Love and Logic Parent, Truthought:Corrective Thinking, Quantum Learning, and Strengthening Families. Her specialty is with children and adolescents, but has worked with a variety of ages, cultures, and family dynamics. Drawing from her own personal experience, Christy also specializes in women's grief, anxiety and personal growth.
When not working, Christy loves to spend time with her 13 year old daughter, 3 year old son husband and dogs. Her hobbies include house remodeling, 4 wheeling, and playing Co-ed softball.
Wesley graduated from the University of Wyoming with a Master of Science in Counselor Education and a Bachelor of Science in Human Communication. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor with the state of Wyoming and is also a National Certified Counselor.
Wesley's theoretical background is centered in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. By using this theoretical background, Wesley is able to give his clients the knowledge and power they need to make positive changes in their lives.
Wesley is currently working full time at Casper College as a Career Counselor where he also teaches a variety of courses. When he is not working, Wesley enjoys baking, photography, and spending time with his family.
Bonda graduated from the University of Wyoming with a Master of Science in Counselor Education and a Bachelor in Secondary Education. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor with the State of Wyoming and is also a National Certified Counselor. She is fluent in Spanish.
Bonda has worked with youth and their families as a mental health counselor, teacher, and school counselor. She most often uses techniques from solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, and play therapy. She enjoys working in cooperation with her clients to find options that best suit their needs.
She treasures spending time with her spouse and their three children. She likes to travel to different places, spend time outdoors, and watch movies with popcorn.
If you are uncertain whether you qualify for counseling services at Three Trails, check with someone from your personnel or human resource department, or a person in a management position. Each worksite determines who is eligible for the service. Once you determine that you may seek help, your spouse, life partner, or dependent family member may also seek assistance with you or independently. If you have a minor child who wishes to seek help, you are asked to attend the first session and sign a form that gives us permission to help your child.
You may call us directly at 307-237-5750 to make an appointment or inquire through an EFAP representative at your worksite. We are located at 812 South David Street in Casper, Wyoming. Our fax number is 307-237-5772.
Upon arrival you will fill out some paperwork that gives us important information in helping to provide effective service and you will meet with your counselor for fifty minutes. The first session is spent providing information to the counselor that helps him or her assess the scope and nature of your concern. If your counselor feels that a referral to another provider is in order, he or she will discuss this with you at length. In many instances, however, counseling with your EFAP counselor is appropriate and effective.
It is important to remember that your EFAP service is meant to provide timely service to a large number of people. Your patience in scheduling is appreciated. Be assured, however, that your counselor will make every attempt to insure that your needs are being addressed in the most effective way possible.
Any business, for profit or non-profit, may join Three Trails EFAP. A business may join at any time during the year (if resources are sufficient) and once that occurs, employees, spouses, and dependent family members may use the service. There is no session limit per year.
Information on a particular employee's usage of service will not be provided to employers. The confidential nature of this service is critical if employees are to benefit. General usage data for small employers will be provided on a periodic basis. Further, those who seek out Three Trails must do so voluntarily. Three Trails does not provide mandatory counseling or counseling as a punitive or disciplinary measure.
The cost for membership is $65.00 per covered employee. All full-time employees must be included in the plan. It is the Employer's decision whether or not to include part-time employees. Employers pay the same rate for each eligible employee.
Spouses, dependent family members, and retirees may use the service at no extra assessment.
In the first year of membership, the business $65.00 per FTE assessment will be prorated. Additionally, there is a one-time $15 per FTE assessment when a business first joins. This amount is applied for research and development costs, such as educating staff members on the EFAP program, use of training consultants if necessary, and purchase of equipment that may be required to serve added employees.
If you would like further information on joining the Three Trails EFAP program, please, contact us at 307-237-5750. We would be happy to send you more information or come and speak to you and your employees at your convenience.

Mindfulness meditation has received a lot of attention in the psychotherapeutic community in recent years. This form of meditation, despite being several thousand years old, has enjoyed renewed interest in the western world and particularly in the counseling and psychotherapy communities. Its psychological value to the emotional well-being of the individual, group and community cannot be overstated.
Mindfulness meditation is a form of meditation that fosters an attention to the processes of awareness. Although this is true of all meditation forms, mindfulness meditation is not as concerned with a focal point of concentration. Rather, the moment-to-moment unfolding of experience is observed in mindfulness meditation. It has been referred to as "awareness of awareness". The elements of mindfulness meditation include an attempt to cultivate an open, accepting, and nonjudgmental awareness of current experience, which can include thoughts, feelings, and sensations. For example, a feeling of anger is noticed and fully accepted during the meditation. All aspects of one's experience have inherently equal value, no matter where they fall on the continuum of pleasant to unpleasant.
The value of mindfulness meditation is seen in the ability to appreciate the transient nature of experience. A "mindless" state can be characterized as being out of touch with the actual nature of reality. For instance, thoughts are often mistaken for reality and not seen as merely being thoughts. There is a tendency for an individual to over identify with such thoughts (or feelings as well) and assign his total reality to them. Just consider the depressed person who has thoughts of self-loathing. Such a person sees these thoughts as statements of reality and defines himself accordingly. The practice of mindfulness meditation heightens the awareness and understanding that these transient aspects of experience (thoughts and feelings come and go) do not define the individual. Allowing such aspects of experience to be what they are frees us to not automatically react to them and thus gives us the ability to respond or not respond as we see fit. In this sense, mindfulness meditation teaches us to live in the moment and expands our freedom to create our lives.
Enter humanistic therapy. This form of therapy is made up of a variety of more specific therapies. The unifying factor that makes such therapies humanistic is the uncompromising belief in the freedom of the individual. People are not ultimately controlled by the environmental conditions around them, nor are they a product of early childhood experiences. Whatever influences these exact on the individual, the ultimate ability to choose one's course of action or even attitude toward something is the hallmark of the humanistic position.
Humanistic therapists are not as concerned with matters of the past as some forms of therapy are. A present focus in therapy is more characteristic of humanistic therapy, since there is literally an unending array of possibilities for the client. One's past does not define that person and does not have to determine the course of her life. In a sense, where one wants to take her life is more important than where she has been.
Humanistic therapy is concerned with uncovering authenticity. The authentic client is the healthy client, the fulfilled person. Such a person is present to her experience. She doesn't seek escape or avoidance from herself, nor does she seek resistance or defiance to her experience in the moment. Such a person knows herself. This is the goal of humanistic therapy and is the journey to be traveled.
The practice of mindfulness meditation fits with the principles of humanistic therapy. There is a concept in humanistic therapy known as unconditional positive regard (UPR) that is bestowed upon the client by the therapist. UPR captures the accepting and nonjudgmental position of being mindful to experience. It has been mistakenly seen as unqualified approval of a person's decisions and actions, but this is not the case. Rather, UPR is explained effectively through the language of mindfulness. The therapist provides an accepting and nonjudgmental response to the client's experience, fostering the client's ability to embrace his own experience without judgment and condemnation. As discussed earlier, this is a necessary condition for the client to act from an authentic position, creating the possibility for true change.
There is much that mindfulness meditation can teach regarding how to live in the present moment, something that the humanist respects as the hallmark of living fully. For example, the encounter between the therapist and the client is a genuine connection in the moment and can have a meditative quality all its own. The use of mindfulness meditation in humanistic therapy can broaden and deepen the experience of being human for each client.

The Eli Young Band shares the screen with an intergalactic co-star in their new video for "Say Goodnight." The clip features a girl falling for a robot from outer space, and the guys in the band claim this is a first for country music.
Eli Young Band's drummer Chris Thompson tells ABC News Radio, "It's the very first science fiction country music video. We Googled it to make sure."
This video concept may seem a little out there to country fans, but Eli Young Band lead singer Mike Eli tells us that's the point.
"Yeah, we try to think outside the box when it comes to videos," he says. "We've never really been the kind of band to do the norm."
The band worked with video director Brian Lazzaro on the "Say Goodnight" video. He's the guy behind their insane asylum-themed "Crazy Girl" video too, and the band members like Brian's offbeat approach to videos.
Bass player Jon Jones says, "Those are the videos that are fun to make, you know, not so obvious."
Eli Young Band will perform "Say Goodnight" on Kenny Chesney 's No Shoes Nation tour in 2013. The trek kicks off March 16 in Tampa, FL.

Jeanne Ely's kitchen is full of pies. She's always experimenting to create the recipe for the perfect pie, the best in the entire nation. Last April, her "Lover's Pie" took the blue ribbon at the American Pie Council's national championship in Celebration, near Disney World.
"It's an Oreo cookie crust , and it's got a chocolate mousse filling, and it's got strawberries on top," she says, gazing at the colorful treat that shines red, white and black.
Jeanne says she learned to bake pies because nobody else in her family would. She was the eldest daughter in her family of seven siblings and her mom didn't like to cook. But she's making it easier for her granddaughter, Ana, to learn, and it's brought the two together.
"We just spend more time together since we're baking pies in the same kitchen," says the 14 year old. Ana entered her own creation in the junior division of the contest last April. She calls it the "Spidermonkey Peanut butter Pie." She went there, she entered, and she got "Best of Show," beams Jeanne.
Ana has some big shoes to fill. In 2005, her grandmother won "Best Of Show" and a $5,000 prize for her "Pina Colada Pie."
The recipe appears under Jeanne's name in the Pie Council cookbook. Both are already working on new creations for next April's show.
"I'm going to enter this pie in next year's competition," says Jeanne, as she gestures toward cherry pie. "I'm not going to talk about it too much."
It contains a secret ingredient she doesn't want to give away to competitors. But, in this kitchen, what they put in their pies may not be as important as what they get out of them: baking together.
"There are a lot of grandparents who don't even get to know their grandchildren," says Jeanne. "To spend so much time with her is wonderful."

'Idol' Going Cheap?
Sunday, May 27th, 2012
Through the course of American Idol the runner-ups have made big bucks as well as the winners. However a new report is showing that Idol has cut back on giving their second place finishers contracts. Previous runner-ups have received $175,000 record contracts. Jessica Sanchez who came in second this season is said to only be receiving $30,000 with no guaranteed album. Talk about a colossal drop-off! That is basically like an indie label.

im one of those one million, first my iphone 3g now my iphone 4
Count me in, I have been using iPhones on T-Mo for years. Just bought a factory unlocked ip4 also besides all the other phones I have that are unlocked.
So it's time for Apple to make iPhone for T-Mobile network $$$
3 in my family! we've been jailbroken and on t-mobile since the turbo-sim days!
My iP4 is on T-Mobile - but then, it's locked to T-Mobile...
I am on tmobile with a 3gs.
i am on tmobile with a 3gs
You can add me to that list. Unlocked with ultrasn0w and on T-Mobile. Started off with iPhone 3G, then the iPhone 3GS and this year got the iPhone 4, meaning I can also be included to the sim card cutter list. Apart from myself and my dad, I know at least 13 people with unlocked iPhones for either T-Mobile or Simple Mobile.
Same here, had an unlocked 3GS. Now a unlocked iPhone 4.
I heard at one point T-Mobile had a hotline dedicated to helping people mod cough*jailbreak*cough there iPhones to get them on T-mobile
Right now T-Mobile is the sole carrier that offers any form of unlimited plan, yes they slow speeds down after a certain paid for bandwidth, but even the slower speeds are better than most other carriers when running their 4G network.
Now, with more and more DSL and Cable companies switching to having caps on bandwidth, T-Mobile will play an even more important role than just in the wireless community. They will push carriers of wireless and non-wireless to offer some sort of unlimited plan, even if there is throttling involved, but that will push some to not have throttling to set themselves apart from the crowd, so on and so forth.
So there is A LOT riding on this deal not going through.
EDIT: Furthermore, there's no way T-Mo won't get swallowed up by AT&T, and even if they don't, there's no way that consumer-harming bandwidth caps and traffic shaping won't continue to play havoc on the American marketplace.

Nearly every drop of regular gas in Minnesota is 10 percent ethanol, and it's been that way for more than 15 years -- but a new blend with just a bit more of the corn-based fuel will be coming to gas stations soon.
"It's just 5 percent more ethanol," Tim Gerlach, with the Minnesota Corn Growers Association, explained.
There are 350 gas stations that serve up a blend of E-85 for special flex-fuel vehicles, but Gerlach said the new blend of E-15 can be used in a variety of vehicles.
"I think eventually, E-15 will just be the gasoline blend," Gerlach predicted. "Just as E-10 came into the market slowly then became the norm, E-15 will do the same."
Currently, only one gas station -- located at 60th and Penn Avenue -- is equipped with the new fuel.
"This is the future coming," Kurt Bohnan, the station owner, told Fox 9 News.
There are currently millions of flex-fuel vehicles on the roads, but a common complaint about E-85 was poor gas mileage. That led to E-30.
"It was kind of a trade-off, you know," Bohnan said. "You lost mileage, but cheaper price, where E-30 is more of a sweet spot."
So far, customers appear comfortable with E-30, but not all vehicles can accept the higher ethanol blends.
"This is a new 2014 Camry, and this one you can use up to E-15 on it," explained Doug Sprinthal at Walser Toyota. "The Highlander and RAV 4, you can't."
Although E-15 has been approved for all vehicles sold after 2001, manufacturers have been slow to give the new fuel their stamp of approval.
"I would be a little cautious about that until the manufacturers approve it," Sprinthal recommended. "It's possible you could run into warranty issues if you use a fuel that's not recommended for use in the car."
Supporters of E-15 say that's just the lawyers talking because the 15 percent ethanol blend has been studied more than any other fuel and numerous independent studies, including those conducted in Minnesota, did not find evidence the fuel contributed to deterioration in engine durability or maintenance issues."
"I can guarantee you that E-15 is quite safe for your vehicle," Gerlach said.
Over the next month, five stations will start to offer E-15 -- but it is important to know that the blend is not approved for small engines such as those found in motorcycles, snowmobiles and lawn equipment.

text: SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WHBL) - The two Sheboygan teens charged with the gruesome murder of an elderly Sheboygan Falls woman will stand trial. Two investigators testified, and said the teens - Antonio Barbeau and Nathan Paape - told them they went to 78 year old Barbara Olson's home in Sheboygan Falls and murdered her before taking her money, car keys, and car, and heading back to Sheboygan. The detectives testified that the boys used the money to buy pizza and pot before they were arrested. Following the testimony, Judge Timothy VanAkkeren ruled there was enough evidence for a trial. The defense will try to move the case back to juvenile court, hoping that the sentences will be lesser. District Attorney Joe DeCecco disagrees with the motion, saying that even though they look 13, you don't look at their ages - you look at what they did. DeCecco says you are how you act, and these actions deserve adult court. A status hearing has been scheduled for November 2nd. There's expected to be a hearing at a future date to move it back into juvenile court.

TCU strong safety Sam Carter is a team captain for a reason. He's one of those players who carries himself with a player-coach mentality no matter the situation — on the field, in the weight room or when talking to the media.After he played his best game of the season against SMU, he brushed off congratulations from Gary Patterson's wife, Kelsey, who told him he played a great game."Yeah, but I messed this up and I messed this up," Carter told her."He's got to live in the positive a little bit more," Patterson said during Monday's Big 12 teleconference. "If anything, I try to make sure he's not too tough on himself."Carter started the season a little slow, Patterson said, but the junior has started to come on and look like the player he was a year ago.He had five tackles, a forced fumble and two interceptions against SMU, including one returned 66 yards for a score. He has three interceptions this season and seven in his career, tied with Jason Verrett for fifth all-time in the Patterson era. Carter earned National Defensive Player of the Week honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation and was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week."He's one of those guys who is all in," Patterson said. "He's been here all alone watching film all week. He's been doing that for the last three years, and in the summertime he's always doing extra work on his own to get himself better. It's one of the reasons why I've made him one of our captains. You always know when he shows up on game day that he's as prepared as he could possibly be."Carter is not the only one on defense starting to find his groove. A group of starters and reserves all played their best games of the season, including defensive ends Matt Anderson and James McFarland, linebacker Marcus Mallet and tackle Jon Lewis, who had two sacks against SMU."They're all starting to kind of get the swagger back a little bit," he said. "Obviously we had a really good ballgame the other day and so did [Carter]."Penalties downGary Patterson thinks mental fatigue played a part in the Frogs' 13 penalties at Texas Tech. TCU had only five for 50 yards against SMU, including just two in the second half when the Frogs broke the game open.TCU was playing its third game in 13 days when a slew of penalties, including six offside calls, helped torpedo its offense at Tech."I think having the week off helped us," Patterson said. "We started slow, but one of the things that helped us was — mentally — I thought we were a lot more aware. A mind that is fresh and thinking quicker is not going to make the same mistakes as one that's tired and reacting. Hopefully that was the reason. Moving forward, we're going to find out."Kansas game setFrog fans can set their alarm clocks again. TCU's game with Kansas is at 11 a.m. Oct. 12 at Amon G. Carter Stadium. TCU is 4-1 in 11 a.m. games the last two seasons. The Frogs have played two 11 a.m. games already in 2013, both nonconference wins.

Product Review: Cuisinart Automatic Ice Cream Maker
Our ice cream maker came roaring back last weekend with mint chocolate Oreo ice cream and frozen mango-ginger yogurt, and several of you asked for recommendations on an ice cream maker model. So here's an in-depth look at the basic model we use.
We use a Cuisinart ice maker; it's very basic, but relatively convenient. Here's how it works.
There is a heavy bowl that has thick walls and a special gel inside of them that freezes extra hard. (This replaces the rock salt of old-fashioned ice cream makers, which was there to push the temperature below freezing.) The bowl sits on a rotating base and there's a paddle inside the bowl that stirs as the bowl rotates. There's a lid that goes over everything.
This is convenient - no rock salt, no ice, no hand churning. But it has its drawbacks. You can't do more than one batch in a row because the bowl has to be refrozen solid in between. It also produces a very loose ice cream that will need to harden, or cure, in the freezer for another couple hours after churning and before eating.
It's just not as powerful as a more commercial model, but it's loads of fun and we have used ours for everything from catering a wedding party for several hundred people to evening desserts and sorbets. If you have the space and the inclination, this is a great little tool.
Here are some things we've learned about getting the most out of this particular Cuisinart model. These would apply to other frozen-bowl models as well, including the KitchenAid attachment.
Getting the most out of your automatic ice cream maker
• Chill your mix overnight. Really, you have to. The mix should be icy cold before starting.
• Freeze the bowl for at least 24 hours between churning. This is a pain, and the main drawback to these models, but absolutely necessary. You'll be frustrated if the bowl isn't completely rock hard and then some. Hear some sloshing inside when you pick it up? Don't even think about trying to make ice cream yet!
• If you're a heavy user, consider purchasing a second bowl, which you can do through Amazon or Cuisinart's website. Then you can alternate bowls and have a backup in the freezer at all times.
• Chill EVERYTHING. Keep as much as you can frozen at all times. This means the lid and paddle; we have better luck when we've had them in the freezer for a while too.
• Churn longer than you think you need to. For ice cream churn at least 45 minutes. (Sorbets are different; they turn out silkier when churned very briefly - just about 15-20 minutes.)
Where to buy an ice cream maker
Try these Amazon links, but also look at places like Bed Bath & Beyond where a 20% coupon plus a sale can net you one for $30 or under.
• Cuisinart 1-1/2-Quart Automatic Ice Cream Maker, White, $49.95 at Amazon
• Cuisinart 1-1/2-Quart Automatic Ice Cream Maker, Red, $43.99 at Amazon

This is what I use too, supposedly the professional models that chill for you are loud, not something I want...
I use this maker too and it's fantastic. I store the bowl in a plastic bag in the freezer so it's always ready when we want to make ice cream or slushy drinks. I picked mine up at a thrift store for $8, my best thrift store purchase yet. Another fun one for kids and groups is the ice cream ball, it's fun to roll it around the yard in the summer and scoop out the deliciousness after dinner.
Williams-Sonoma is currently having a special offer on these: buy the mixer, get a second bowl for free. Well worth the money!
That's the machine I was thinking about getting -- my current machine, the name of which I forget, started dying last summer, and I do love making ice cream, so...new machine needed! Good to hear about William-Sonoma and the second bowl deal, because I have a gift card for them.
Oh, and if you don't have a great ice cream recipe book yet, I heartily recommend this one -- really great recipes. Yum.
Great write-up! I have this model too and can't think of anything useful to add. I am buying another bowl this summer, as I foresee using this a lot for sorbets and want to do a few different kinds at a time, like lemon and lime, etc.
I was one of the people who asked for a recommendation, so thanks! And thanks to you, too, SexyAnteater, for the W-S tip. Now I'm off to see if they deliver to Canada...
I am embarrassed to admit that I've owned this for years now and have yet to use it. Maybe it's time to dust it off!?
I have this model and have made some of the best ice cream ever. I keep my bowl in the freezer--have done so for about 2 years now. No problems whatsoever.
The deluxe chocolate recipe that comes with the machine is excellent. Highly recommended.
Just a comment on chilling your mix overnight -- I've never done this and my ice creams come out fantastic every time (plus, I get to eat them sooner)
just ordered the machine with extra freezer bowl. can't wait to try the salt caramel ice cream
I also just ordered the machine with the extra freezer bowl! I saw too many fun ideas lately in making your own ice cream and decided to take the plunge. Can't wait!
i have had this model for four years and i love it! we especially love making pineapple sorbet with it.
I have gotten perfectly fine results after running my cuisinart machine for 25-30 minutes . . . not sure what would improve if I ran it longer. (I do chill the ingredients overnight, most of the time, and I store the bowl in my freezer.)
You evil, evil people! Vile temptresses, all!
After reading this post and all of the responses, I ran out to my local Williams Sonoma and bought my own ice cream maker (the sale price is in-store, too). My taste buds will thank you, but my thighs do not approve.
I have this model - even bought it refurbed - and love it!
But I do have one question: does anyone else loose a 1/4-inch layer of ice cream around the edges of the bowls? Seems like such a waste when the bowl isn't that big to begin with...
I have the Kitchen Aid mixer attachment, which is basically a frozen bowl and special paddle. It's great. I couldn't justify buying a new appliance devoted just to making ice cream. This system is simple and works like a charm. I keep the bowl in the freezer all the time.
PhredYammers - me too! I bought this machine last week for frozen yogurt, but I only make a little at a time because frogurt just doesn't re-freeze well. If I want two servings of dessert, I need to factor in a loss of about 1/2 a serving stuck to the bowl. But otherwise, a very good machine.
I have the Cuisinart ice cream maker, and it worked ok for a bit, but then the dinky plastic blade snapped. I can't find anywhere to buy a replacement! Any recommendations?
hi all, has anyone tried the wolfgang puck i.c. maker (hsn)?
(Roethke, I'd go directly to the manufacturer to make a request. Cuisinart probably has contact info on their website.)
Well, we got our maker this weekend (my Mother's Day gift to myself, heh), and gave it an inaugural spin with the strawberry ice cream recipe from this book. It was FABULOUS, despite the fact that it probably could have stood to be a bit firmer. I'm figuring I should have cooked the custard mixture a bit longer. Regardless, I'm happy for any excuse for further experimentation.
Now... does anyone know how to make your own waffle cones?
the first time i used this, i was so excited i didn't read the directions. didn't freeze the bowl... we ended up with strawberry butter. nobody could understand why. :)

Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus won Favorite Female Singer at the 22nd annual Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards. Other winners at the Hollywood event were Vanessa Hudgens (Favorite Female Movie Star) and Will Smith (Favorite Male Movie Star).
Miley, star of the television show Hannah Montana, let a few tears fall as she accepted her award, and said, "I really thought I was going to lose.
