All too often, the news is filled with upsetting reports of the devastating effects of tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, floods, tsunamis, and other forces of nature.
In their aftermath, many people want to know how to aid those who've been displaced or injured. Here are some ways that families can help.
These charitable organizations provide assistance to people affected by crises and natural disasters; most accept donations.
[Please note: By clicking on these links, you will be leaving our site.]
It's OK if your family doesn't have a lot to give. Every donation, regardless of size, helps to rebuild when communities are hit by natural disasters.
While monetary donations are always appreciated, they're not the only way that families can get involved. Here are some active ways that you and your kids can help out:
If your family isn't able to help out right now, consider contributing in the coming weeks or months. With the degree of damage in disaster-struck areas, the need for donations and funds will be ongoing and your family's contribution will be appreciated just as much in the future.
Volunteering your time, money, or efforts not only helps the community, but also sets a good example for your kids. And helping others, especially collectively as a family, can be one of the most fun and rewarding experiences parents and children can share.

Michael Lewis
Adult Nonfiction HQ756 .L479 2009
Summary: When he became a father, Michael Lewis found himself expected to feel things that he didn't feel, and to do things that he couldn't see the point of doing. At first this made him feel guilty, until he realized that all around him fathers were pretending to do one thing, to feel one way, when in fact they felt and did all sorts of things, then engaged in what amounted to an extended cover-up.Lewis decided to keep a written record of what actually happened immediately after the birth of each of his three children. This book is that record. But it is also something else: maybe the funniest, most unsparing account of ordinary daily household life ever recorded from the point of view of the man inside. The remarkable thing about this story isn't that Lewis is so unusual. It's that he is so typical. The only wonder is that his wife has allowed him to publish it.

Information on Aberdeen City's Access from the North Proposals (Third Don Crossing)
These pages describe the current progress of the scheme and include various plans and reports that were produced at this stage of investigation.
Since the 1970's various schemes have been considered for a new crossing over the River Don. In 2003, Aberdeen City Council (ACC) decided to review these past proposals and identify other alternatives in respect to Access from the North. A Stage 2 feasibility study was carried out investigating three route corridors crossing the River Don. The purpose of the Stage 2 Assessment was to investigate and compare the three proposed route corridors to establish which option would be the most suitable to progress. The feasibility study involved an Engineering Assessment, Economic Assessment, Environmental Assessment, Traffic Modelling, and a two staged Public Consultation. In 2004 ACC instructed that Option 1 be progressed to the Stage 3 Assessment. The Stage 3 Assessment was similar to Stage 2 but investigated the preferred line in greater detail.
Work To Date - Stage 3 Assessment
Following ACC's decision to progress Option 1 as the preferred line the following work has been undertaken:
A topographical survey was carried out to enable a more detailed design of the preferred line.
Ground Investigation
A ground investigation was carried out to establish the soil characteristics of the area, what types of construction may be required as well as the suitability of existing material for re-use within the scheme. The Ground Investigation determined that, in engineering terms, there were no significant issues with regards to the possible construction of the proposals and the existing ground conditions.
The topographical survey was used to refine the Stage 2 design. This involved the following changes:
- Minor alignment changes;
- The inclusion of cycle facilities;
- Additional lanes at the start and end of the scheme;
- Access From The North ("Third Don Crossing") Plan; and
- Proposed traffic signals at the St Machar Drive/Bedford Road junction
The design of the proposed bridge was chosen:
Traffic Modelling and Economic Assessment
More detailed traffic modelling was carried out for the scheme and the surrounding network. This information gave greater insight as to the affects of the proposals as well as indicating what measures would be required to enable traffic using both the proposals and the surrounding network to move efficiently eg proposed traffic signals at the St Machar Drive/Bedford Road junction.
In addition to this model the previous traffic model that was used for the Stage 2 assessment was refined and re-run. The results of this model was also used to measure the economic benefits of the scheme. The modelling suggests that through journey time savings and reductions in distances travelled the proposals give a large economic return.
Environmental Assessment
A Stage 3 Environmental Assessment and Environmental Statement were commissioned to identify the impacts on both the natural and built environments. They followed on from the findings of the Stage 2 assessment, looking into the impacts of the proposals in more detail.
Key issues investigated by the Environmental Assessment are Policy, Air Quality, Archaeology and Heritage, Ecology and Nature Conservation, Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment, Land Use, Noise, Pedestrians, Cyclists, Equestrians and Community Effects, Vehicle Travellers and Water Quality, Drainage and Flood Defence. The Environmental Assessment generally found that, relative to the size of the scheme, there were no major environmental impacts and although there are a number of relatively minor issues many of those can have their impact reduced or removed by suitable mitigation measures. The mitigation measures are detailed within the Environmental Statement.
The Environmental Assessment and Environmental Statement was updated in 2009/10 to take account changes within the Structure Plan as well as changes to the design itself, such as the introduction of the segregated cycling facility. The updated Environmental Assessment and Environmental Statement can be seen here:
STAG Assessment
The Scottish Transport Appraisal Guidance (STAG) Assessment was used to identify objectives for the proposals to meet, problems that the proposals should solve or reduce and problems that the proposals may create. The main themes of investigation are the Environment, Safety, Economy, Integration, Accessibility and Social Inclusion. The STAG methodology was used to investigate the previous options as part of a Part 1 STAG assessment and led to the selection of Option 1 as the preferred option. A Part 2 STAG assessment was also carried out on the preferred line (Option 1). This investigated the preferred option in more detail than the Part 1 STAG assessment. The STAG report contains an account of the decision making process from the choosing of the preferred line to the decision to progress the preferred line to the planning application process.
A Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) was promoted in 2010 to acquire the land necessary to build the scheme. As there were objections raised over the use of the CPO, Scottish Ministers called for a Public Local Inquiry (PLI) to be held. An Independent Reporter was appointed by Scottish Ministers to carry out the PLI which was held in November 2011.
The documents published by ACC for consideration at the inquiry are available at the following link:.
The Reporter passed his findings and recommendations to Scottish Ministers in February 2012, in his report he recommended that the CPO be confirmed. Scottish Ministers considered his report and recommendations and confirmed the CPO in March 2012.
Confirmed copies of the CPO will now be issued to all owners and occupiers of affected property; it will also be advertised in local press and on street notices. Following publication, objectors will have a 6 week period in which to appeal the Scottish Ministers' decision.
A final decision still has to be made as to whether the scheme is delivered as part of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route or as a stand alone project. Once this decision has been made the required Contract Documents will be prepared and issued.
The following drawing shows the line and layout of the proposed road:

Are today's teens lazy? A new study says yes. The study says teens are more materialistic and less interested in work than baby boomers because of the way boomers' parents raised them!
According to the Daily Mail, Dr. Jean Twenge, co-author of the study, told Today.com that "you're taught what's important and how to act by your parents, the media and those around you."
The report says 25 percent of 1970s high-schoolers were in the didn't want to work hard category, in the late 80s it was 30 percent and by the early 21st century, 39 percent.

A Piper Jaffray analyst says 10% of all iPhones sold in September were sold to people who were buying them to unlock and resell, reports Apple Insider.
I know I myself have purchased a few which I unlocked and resold. Anyone else?
I hate to point out the extremely obvious, but its people that unlock and resell their iPhones (most times for a profit) that screw the rest of the community over. Apple stated a few times that they didnt mind people changing icons, or even installing 3rd party apps. They do, and for good reason, mind people unlocking their phones, especially turning a profit by doing so.
Most people think (and continually post saying) that Apple hooked up with AT&T so that they get a kick-back on every phone they sell, which is not true at all. Apple paired up with AT&T because, believe it or not, AT&T has the most widespread & robust GSM/Edge network. I'm not saying they are the best in every area/market. Also, Apple wanted a certain level of coverage/service in specific areas, which required AT&T (or T-mobile if they had been chosen) to build quite a few cells sites in different areas to support this need. Beyond the current, first generation iPhone, they made this multi-year exclusive partnership for future iPhones. AT&T has a very good start on their UMTS/HSDPA 3G network with complete coverage in most major cities, where as T-Mobile just began building their 3G network a few months ago. (Sorry Verizon/Sprint people, we'll probably never see a CDMA/CDMA2k or Ev-Do iPhone)
Not trying to go completely AT&T fanboy on everyone, but keep in mind that your keeping the iPhone community from being able to load 3rd party applications by unlocking so many devices
yea i myself also unlock and sell for a profit. Just unlocked my first phone a couple days ago and sold for a nice profit in a day.
lmao, I figured I'd get a few bitchslaps for posting all of that.
If you pay cash at an Apple store for an iPhone, do they require your personal information at the time of purchase?
I know that you are probably right but I have sold a few myself and now I "unlock" others iPhones for a profit. Steve Jobs is a rich man. I love picking his pocket and as for the recent firmware, I am sure it was inevitable. Steve Jobs has always resisted making his computers upgradable by anyone except Apple. I am sure the smart folks here knew this would happen. Jobs called the recent activity a "cat and mouse" game and in the short time I have been here, it seems the mouse is much smarter than the cat. 1.1.1 will be hacked and Jobs will counter. I think alot of the people here like the challenge.
My thanks to PF for all his hard work.
i wouldnt be surprised....selling iphones on ebay is going crazy now...theres tons of iphones up there...
I bought mine soley so I could use it over here in Italy while I am stationed here. I had contemplated buying a few and reselling them for a 1-1 Dollar to Euro ratio (make 40% due to the exchange rate right now!), ie. $399 stateside E399 in Italy. But alas, my conscience got the better of me and Id feel obligated to donate most to the DevTeam since I used a FREE hack they put out to turn a profit.
Yeah I did as well!
You must donate to where the unlock came from if you are reselling... its the right thing to do. The DMCA gives you the exemption and the Dev Team gives you the profitabilty power! Must give credit where credit is due!

This study assessed misuse of anticholinergic drugs in a population of 50 patients with serious mental illness who were assertively managed by a community-based outreach team in Sydney, Australia. One-third of the subjects reported having misused anticholinergics over the previous month. All anticholinergics were misused, and trihexyphenidyl (benzhexol) was misused most frequently. Most subjects misused at least one other drug as well. On direct questioning, the reason given most frequently was "to get high"; on indirect questioning, reasons were related more to peer participation and feelings of futility. Marginalized patients living in the community are vulnerable to the misuse of anticholinergic drugs.
Before 1980 misuse of anticholinergic drugs among psychiatric patients was rarely reported (1). Since then reported prevalence rates have ranged from 0 percent to 18 percent (2,3,4,5). In inner Sydney in recent years we have noticed an increasing misuse of anticholinergic agents among our most marginalized patients.
The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of misuse of anticholinergics in our patient cohort, the reasons for the misuse, and whether the drugs were misused in combination with other drugs.
The study was conducted in July 1998 at the Inner City Mental Health Service in Sydney. The service has about 400 active patients, most of whom have a serious mental illness. The mobile community treatment team manages the cases of 50 of the most seriously disturbed patients of our service. Criteria for referral to the program include frequent psychiatric admission, poor compliance with mental health services, and a poor quality of life. Because of their poor financial skills, about half the patients have their finances supervised by staff.
The community treatment team consists of five full-time health professional staff members, who are assigned ten patients each. Patients are visited in their home or at their shelter once or twice a week and are encouraged to attend the local mental health rehabilitation services.
Case managers were asked to refer to the study any patient of the mobile community treatment program whom they considered to be taking excessive amounts of anticholinergic drugs. All patients referred agreed to be interviewed.
We used two methods of seeking reasons for the misuse of anticholinergic drugs. First, patients were asked in face-to-face interviews to respond yes or no to 15 questions developed by Dixon and associates (6). Then they were asked nondirective open-ended questions, such as "Why and in what sort of setting do you take excessive amounts of side effect medications?" Data on the frequency and type of drugs misused over the previous month were recorded using the Opiate Treatment Index (7). After the interviews, the patients' case files were reviewed for prescribed medications and diagnoses.
Twenty-two of the 50 mobile community treatment patients were referred to our study. Of these, 17 reported having misused anticholinergic drugs over the previous month; 13 were men (76 percent), and four were women (24 percent). Their mean±SD age was 35±7.7 years, with a range of 23 to 45 years. All were single and unemployed, and all but two were living in a homeless shelter.
Sixteen patients had a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Thirteen were receiving moderate to high dosages of a depot neuroleptic drug, nine had prescriptions for benztropine (2 to 4 mg daily), and one each had prescriptions for orphenadrine (50 mg twice daily) or trihexyphenidyl (5 mg daily). Four of the remaining subjects were receiving risperidone (range, 4 to 6 mg daily).
All of the anticholinergics were misused. Trihexyphenidyl (benzhexol) was cited the most frequently, by 13 patients, followed by procyclidine by ten patients, benztropine by six patients, and orphenadrine by two patients. Typically they reported taking five to ten tablets at a time, often in the company of peers.
On direct questioning, the reasons patients gave most frequently for misusing anticholinergic drugs were to get high (N=13), to increase pleasure (N=12), to decrease depression (N=12), to increase energy (N=11), to relax (N=11), to go along with the group (N=10), and to decrease the side effects of neuroleptic medication (N=9). The reasons patients gave in response to our open-ended questions revealed themes of loneliness, resignation, depression, and peer participation.
Fourteen of the 17 subjects who misused anticholinergics (82 percent) also misused at least one of the following drugs: codeine linctus (N=8), cannabis (N=7), benzodiazepines (N=7), inhalants such as amyl nitrite or glue (N=6), pseudoephedrine (N=4), and cocaine, amphetamine, or heroin (one each). None of the patients consumed alcohol in excess of two standard drinks a day.
The prevalence of anticholinergic misuse in our cohort of 50 patients was 34 percent, much higher than in any study of such misuse reported to date. Most subjects were receiving depot neuroleptics in relatively high dosages, and at least some misused anticholinergics to relieve extrapyramidal symptoms; we did not formally assess our patients for extrapyramidal symptoms. Although nine patients cited decreasing the side effects of neuroleptic medication as a reason for misusing anticholinergics, it was not among the main reasons given.
In response to direct questioning, the most frequently given reason was to get high. This motivation would explain why trihexyphenidyl, the most stimulating anticholinergic, was the most frequently misused. Among patients with schizophrenia interviewed by Dixon and colleagues (6) about substance misuse in general, the energizing effects were also the most frequently given reasons for use of cannabis, alcohol, and cocaine. This similarity suggests that the choice of drug to be misused is less important than whether the drug has a stimulating effect.
It may be that the stimulating effect of the drug counteracts depressive symptoms or the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Some support for such a motivation was revealed by our open-ended questions; amid feelings of hopelessness and futility, the taking of drugs seemed to be a way of filling in the day, of taking one's mind off the present situation, or of sharing experiences with friends. The association between depression and boredom and misuse of drugs by people with schizophrenia has been noted previously (8).
It appears that a culture of anticholinergic misuse evolved after the patients' referral to the mobile community treatment program. Anticholinergic misuse was not considered to be a major issue when these patients were first referred to the program, nor was there an unusually high rate of anticholinergic misuse among the other patients of our mental health service (9). Moreover, the patients' preference for trihexyphenidyl cannot be attributed to the prescribing habits of our medical officers, who rarely prescribed the drug.
One reason for the high rate of anticholinergic misuse after referral to the program may be related to peer pressure. Patients newly referred to the program end up spending much of their time in the company of other enrollees of the program, and a milieu that predisposes them to the influence of others who are already misusing drugs may evolve.
There may be other reasons for misuse of anticholinergics. Patients who misused anticholinergics also misused other drugs. However, surprisingly few misused alcohol, and only three reported use of heroin, cocaine, or amphetamine. The primary reasons for this pattern may be that these patients have poor negotiating skills and little money, and prefer anticholinergics over other drugs because they are readily available and cheap— about five U.S. dollars for ten tablets on the street.
Assertive management in the community of people with severe mental illness is generally regarded to be beneficial (10). The results of this study draw attention to a potential risk apparently related to enrollment in a service that offers intensive community-based treatment to a cohort of patients with severe mental illness.

The artists who first glimpsed Picasso's cardboard Guitar around 1912 marveled—and sometimes scoffed—at its fragility and seeming impermanence, but almost 100 years later its continued survival, while miraculous, is not its only notable quality. What do artists, in 2011, standing in front of the cardboard Guitar and its sheet-metal counterpart have to say? With this question in mind, curator Anne Umland and I asked a diverse group to visit Picasso: Guitars 1912–1914 and share their impressions. Read more
Artists Respond to Picasso's Guitars

"I went to MoMA and…": It Looks Like This, Mr. Picasso!
Posted by Tamsin Nutter, Associate Editor, Marketing, Brigitta Bungard, Assistant Creative Director, Department of Advertising and Graphic Design
Reading the "I went to MoMA and…" notecards, we've started to notice the guitars… a lot of guitars. People draw guitars of all shapes and sizes; realistic guitars, Cubist guitars, abstract guitars; guitars by kids, guitars by grownups, guitars by people from many different countries. The inspiration, of course, for this outpouring of guitar drawings is our current exhibition Picasso: Guitars 1912–1914. Read more
Conservation and a Different Kind of Guitar God
Posted by Scott Gerson, Associate Conservator
No matter one's specialization, there are certain questions that all art conservators are asked, including:
Aren't you scared to do what you do? The answer to this question is sort of a bluff: Our training and experience greatly inform our decision-making about conservation interventions, which are preceded by extensive testing. Nonetheless, some treatments are still a little scary. Read more
Five for Friday: This One Goes to 11
Posted by Jason Persse, Editorial Manager, Marketing and Communications
"I went to my friend's house one day, and he had an electric guitar he had just bought with a tiny little amp. I turned the volume up to 10 and I hit one chord, and I said, I'm in love." – Ace Frehly (Kiss)
"The most important part of my religion is to play guitar." – Lou Reed
Despite several abortive attempts over the years, I never learned to play the guitar. At every turn I've been thwarted by laziness, a lack of dedication, and a set of 10 thumbs. This has made finding work in my chosen vocation—globe-trotting rock megastar—rather difficult. Read more

BREVARD -- Get ready to shake what your momma gave you, all for a good cause!
The second annual Zumba Party will be Saturday, March 30 from 10 a.m. to noon at Rodes Park Community Center in West Melbourne, with registration beginning at 9:30 a.m.
All proceeds raised during the Zumba Party will be used to help build Promise in Brevard, a safe, enjoyable and affordable housing concept in West Melbourne, where individuals with and without special needs can live, work and thrive.
"We have been approved for a $750,000 predevelopment loan and will use $500,000 of it to purchase our first phase -- about 12 acres -- of the 39 acres on Norfolk Parkway in West Melbourne," said Betsy Farmer, co-founder of Promise in Brevard. "What we raise during the Zumba Party will help us with our day-to-day operations and development."
Promise in Brevard is a dream-turned-reality of Ms. Farmer, whose son and co-founder, Luke, has Down syndrome. In order to gain more support and funding, Ms. Farmer has encouraged Brevard County residents to hold fundraising events of their own.
After hearing of its concept, Palm Bay resident and Zumba instructor, Amy Smith, was instantly drawn to Promise.
"I got involved with Promise a year ago, when I found out what Promise was and wanted to help in whatever way I could," Mrs. Smith said. "What could I do? I could Zumba."
From there, Mrs. Smith contacted Ms. Farmer and told her that she wanted to have a Zumba Party for Promise.
"I have four sons -- three have been diagnosed with autism, and what Promise in Brevard means to my family and my boys' future was something I had to be involved in," Mrs. Smith added.
Since last year's Zumba Party was so well-received within the community, Mrs. Smith and Ms. Farmer decided to make it an annual event.
"The whole community is welcome to come out," Ms. Farmer said. "Florida Tech's football team will make a special appearance at this year's event once again."
In addition to the Florida Tech football team, attendees can expect to witness a new dance-off competition.
"This year, we have added a 'Dancing for Donuts' challenge between the Sheriff's Department and the West Melbourne Police Department," Ms. Farmer said. "Each team will do a one-minute Zumba routine with an instructor and the crowd will determine the winner."
Ms. Farmer said that the winning team will have doughnuts delivered to their station by Promise residents. She is also encouraging other departments from around the county to get involved.
"People should come out to the Zumba Party because, even if you're not a Zumba person, or into dancing, spectators are welcome," Mrs. Smith said. "It's all for a good cause and every dollar raised is one that will make a difference in the lives of someone with special needs."
With the plans for the event in the works, Ms. Farmer said she looking forward to another incredible event for Promise.
"It's so much fun -- two straight hours of belly laughs," she said. "Plus, the community can meet our future residents and see first-hand the people they are helping."
Zumba Party 2013 is Saturday, March 30, from 10 a.m. to noon, with registration at 9:30 a.m., at Rodes Park Community Center in West Melbourne.
Cost is $10 in advance and $15 at the door.
Prizes will be awarded to the top five individuals, who raise the highest amount through pledge contributions for Promise.
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey and Frank Kaiser will emcee the event.
For more information about Promise in Brevard, or to register for Zumba Party 2013, visit www.promiseinbrevard.com.
Rodes Park Community Center is located at 3410 Flanagan Ave., West Melbourne.

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add spinach and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread mashed beans on one of slice toast. Top with artichoke hearts and sauteed spinach. Top with second slice.
I also fixed it on a sprouted grain tortilla and it tasted great but it was a bit messier than when I fixed it with millet zucchini bread. I enjoyed that more.Reply
I tried this recipe on a whole wheat tortilla rather than the toast and it was delicious! I may try it on bread and then grill it in a panini maker next time. The flavors compliment each other quite well.Reply

How You Can Help Us
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is world-renowned for our groundbreaking discoveries and world-class scientists, including three Nobel laureates, who work together to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer and related diseases.
The Hutchinson Center is widely recognized for our pioneering work on bone marrow transplantation, boosting survival rates for some blood cancers from zero to nearly 90 percent for some leukemias — saving thousands of lives each year. The Center's development of bone marrow transplantation has led to the discovery that the immune system can also be a powerful weapon against cancer and related diseases.
Today, the pace and potential of lifesaving research has vastly accelerated. Contributions by generous benefactors provide key support to supplement government grants. Private support acts as a catalyst for our scientists to fund new ideas and innovations in research as they emerge — accelerating our ability to pursue discoveries that save lives.

Rumor: Leaked Gears of War 2 Screenshots Show New MapA new batch of screenshots have appeared for Epic's Gears of War 2 (360), showing an unreleased multiplayer map covered in Imulsion, the energy-filled natural resource central to the shooter's backstory.
The screenshots reproduced above appeared on the Flickr page of user yourichurkoff and are generally believed to be legitimate. Two multiplayer modes, King of the Hill and Guardian, can be seen in action on the map.
The screenshots have sparked speculation that the map is downloadable content set to be released in the future.
Microsoft has not commented on the screenshots. However, as the original game offered DLC multiplayer maps, and the sequel was part of a new generation of games to ship with DLC in the box, downloadable expansions to Gears of War 2 are expected.

Sockwell Circulator Compression Socks 22 22
Beautiful Lifesaver These compression socks are a lifesaver. I have a vein with incompetent valves and had a lot of pain with standing any period of time. These socks not only relieve the pain they are so pretty! I love all the colors. Goodbye ugly TED hose. These socks are a beautiful lifesaver. August 27, 2014
Great purchase We travel extensively and do a lot of long haul 11hr plus flights. Our legs never get tired or swollen using these socks. I had major surgery on my tibia last year because of a bad break and have no adverse effects flying but I always use these socks. August 23, 2014
Compression socks I travel alot for work and these are the best socks. Comfy not tight and really help on long and short flights. My ankles, feet and toes are not swollen and I am only 105 lbs. It's amazing how bad I swell when I fly. I say buy these now!! You will <3 them :) August 19, 2014
Great socks These compressed stockings are the prettiest I have ever found. They are well fitting and very chic. I have them in several colors. Well priced. May 6, 2014
Wonderful Socks! These socks are wonderful! They reduce leg fatigue. They do not roll down. They fit comfortably without pinching. They are so beautiful and fun to wear. I kept buying more and more pairs.If I could afford it I'd get a lifetime supply! October 21, 2012
Nurse approved, love them for long shifts. I got frustrated by my support hose and stopped wearing them. Wearing regular socks, by the end of my 13 hour shift on my feet, my ankles would be swollen and calves achy. I love these socks. They don't take me 5 minutes to put on like the support hose did, and they feel great. No more swelling at the end of my shift, no more achy calves. I like that they don't have to be hand washed. I was worried they would make my feet/legs hot, but they don't. I'm showing them off to all my nurse friends. July 8, 2013
Another great purchase! Surely can recommend! Just love it! April 4, 2014
Loved these! These were very comfortable. I'd been concerned that they'd be too tight, and while snug, they weren't uncomfortable. It was wonderful to get home and not have swollen legs! I'm getting another pair for an upcoming trip. November 17, 2012

We were disappointed in the entertainment. There were only two broadway shows during the 15 day cruise. The only good show was a comedian/magician (Nick). He was very entertaining. We enjoyed his show very much. The average age of the guests on this cruise was a bit older than we had expected, thus the activities/events/entertainment was geared toward that age group. As a result, the late night activities were not well attended. I suspect most passengers went to bed around 10.
The ports of call were enjoyable because we did what we wanted to do in the time there. One port we were required to tender. Celebrity crew need training on the most efficient way to load/unload the tender boats. The process is very slow and somewhat dangerous depending on the water level and calm/roughness of the ocean. We saw one lady fall out of the tender boat onto the pier. Fortunately she was ok, but it could have been much worse.

FLOWERY BRANCH — If the playoffs started today, the Falcons would be the top seed in the NFC.
That doesn't sit well with NBC analyst Rodney Harrison.
During halftime of Sunday's night game, host Dan Patrick asked him to pick the best team in the NFC. Harrison swung a haymaker at the Falcons.
"Atlanta is the No. 1 seed, but no one is afraid to play Atlanta," Harrison said. "To me, the team to beat in the NFC is the New York Giants."
And guess who's coming to town Sunday?
"I don't even care about the record," Harrison said. "When the Giants (8-5) get into the playoffs, they have the experience and that pass rush. Eli (Manning) in the fourth quarter, that's the team to beat."
The Falcons, coming off Sunday's discouraging 30-20 loss at Carolina, saw Harrison's comments.
"It's not disrespectful," defensive end John Abraham said. "How we played last week, they should say stuff like that. When we put stuff like that out there on tape, they should say stuff like that."
Safety Thomas DeCoud wasn't bothered by the comment, even if it was dismissive of the NFC South champs.
"The man is entitled to his opinion," DeCoud said. "He can say whatever he wants. He gets paid to say whatever he wants. We can't be too tuned into that type of stuff because after a while, that type of stuff becomes a distraction."
The Falcons watched the film of the Carolina game on Monday and said they were ready to move on from the embarrassing defeat to a team that had won just three games before Sunday. They are preparing for what could be a playoff preview when they face the Giants at the Georgia Dome.
"I think we'll be OK," Abraham said. "It was a butt-whipping. Call it what it is. They did a good job. They played a great game. We didn't come to play like we're supposed to come. So we are getting ready for the Giants right now. We have to get over the hump."
Carolina nearly beat the Falcons earlier this season and were furious after losing in the final minute 30-28 on Sept. 30. The Panthers took verbal shots at the Falcons all last week and said they were the better team. They then backed it all up, jumping out to a 23-0 lead and then holding on for the victory.
"You hate to admit it," running back Michael Turner said. "But when guys are talking smack and they come out with the W, it's kind of like a double-whammy."
The Falcons have tried to put the day behind them.
"We can't keep worrying about things we can't change," Abraham said. "It's in the record books. We'll let that go. We can have something to do with the future right now, so we need to worry about that right now."
The last time they met, the Falcons were eliminated from the playoffs by the Giants last season in the wild-card round. New York held a 7-2 halftime lead before pulling away to a 24-2 victory.
The Giants throttled the Saints 52-27 on Sunday.
Falcons coach Mike Smith started laying the groundwork for a turnaround, one of the team's biggest challenges of the season.
"The message is real simple," Smith said. "We didn't play our best. We didn't play up to our capabilities and up to our standard. We've got to get back in here, to the office, to get the corrections, and come out here on Wednesday and prepare for the New York Giants."
Under Smith, the Falcons have never dropped back-to-back games with Ryan as the starting quarterback and one of the games was at home.
The Falcons have dropped back-to-back games with Ryan at the controls twice, but all of those games were on the road.
In 2009, Dallas beat them 37-21 on Oct. 25 at Cowboys Stadium followed by a 35-27 loss at New Orleans on Nov. 2. They also lost at Carolina 28-19 on Nov. 15 and at the New York Giants 34-31 in overtime on Nov. 22.
Overall, the Falcons have not dropped back-to-back games since Games 12 and 13 of the 2009 season. With Ryan out with a turf toe injury, they lost to Philadelphia (Dec. 6, 2009) and New Orleans (Dec. 13, 2009) with Chris Redman at the controls.
"(The Giants) are playing very good football right now," Smith said. "The last two weeks, they've played outstanding football and it's going to be a big challenge. They're right in the middle of the playoff hunt."

first…Rodney Harrison, Heath Evans, Willie McGinest….NONE of them like the Falcons. It's a distraction. Coach Smith and the crew should just stop the interviews, and just do what it takes to win it all. Every week. No more talk.
December 11th, 2012
5:18 am
Well Smitty, you can start by not giving your players 4 days off. Obviously a mistake. They looked like they were still on vacation.

ESPN hates all things Atlanta/Georgia too. Stop talking about resilience and just go do it. That is KILLER instinct.
December 11th, 2012
5:48 am
Let's be honest. It's not that the panthers PLAYED better, it's that they ARE better. They'd whip us again if we played them next Sunday. They're just one of several teams right now that are better than we are. Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of our play was Ryan. His accuracy was poor, even when he wasn't under pressure. I don't know at this stage how you "fix" that.
December 11th, 2012
5:50 am
If our running attack doesn't get better we will not go far in the playoffs. The offensive line has got to quit stopping Turner.
December 11th, 2012
6:01 am
The fans and Rodney Harrison are skeptical, I've been a Falcon Fan for many years and out side of the one Superbowl appearence, they've let me down time after time. I get it, divisional games are tough, but what I was looking for Sunday was effort and I didn't see it. I'm more concern about a playoff win, than winning against the Giants. However, I want to see effort and mean spiritness when the New york comes to town.
December 11th, 2012
6:07 am
Easy to predict a letdown this past Sunday. A team with a 3-9 record following an emotional win over New Orleans. I expect a good game against the Giants.
December 11th, 2012
6:16 am
Flash & dash Houston crushed by Patriots on Monday night. Preview of the Falcons/Giants game? These 2nd tier teams can't play with the big boys.
December 11th, 2012
6:20 am
Harrison is correct
December 11th, 2012
6:31 am
To quote Rick Flair if you want to be the man you gotta beat the man. Birds need the W against the G-men this weekend. Else there will be a lot of premium seats on the bandwagon. I'm staying in mine no matter what. I believe in these Falcons!
December 11th, 2012
6:34 am
Watch the Pats play and you see a team with confidence and savvy. Watch the Giants play and you see the same. Do you see that when we play? I hate to say it but as good as Smith is he is not a top tier coach. And our personnel doesn't match up well with the big boys.
December 11th, 2012
6:42 am
I have to agree with oldmike. The only thing separating us from the top tier teams is confidence. Maybe we can get that with a win over the Giants. It's the kind of win that can propel a team to the Super Bowl.
December 11th, 2012
6:44 am
Yall see da way dem pats played last nite.They played like a playoff team KILLER INSTINC dats what we need when we hit da feild the other team should no it just like dey did last nite houston even sayed it they could see it in dare eyes and feel it in dare souls.BIRDS ITS TIME TO TIGHTEN UP.Come out sunday on fire.Start proven dat we r a playoff team.Make it shake birds.Rise but don't pop!!!!
December 11th, 2012
6:44 am
The only way to make people scared of you is to win each week. Does not have to be pretty but you HAVE to win! Our coordinators and coaches lost the game Sunday.

what up
December 11th, 2012
6:59 am
you're wrong d'led. ryan has lost back to back games while starting at qb. it happened twice in 09 the first was weeks 7 and 8 to dallas and new orleans then we beat washington in week 9 and then lost back to back games vs………get ready for this……carolina and new york giants (bad omen?) then we beat tampa in the last seconds while ryan went down with a turf toe injury. than we dropped two more in a row to philly and new orleans with redman at qb. ryan returned and we won three in a row to get the first back to back winning season in franchise history.
December 11th, 2012
6:59 am
The Falcons are capable of beating the better teams on any given day, they just can't do it with consistency. They beat Denver and Washington amongst others. The naysayers will say Denver was early in the season when Manning was getting his sea legs back and with the Redskins RG3 didn't play the entire game. Nevertheless, they won. The Carolina game was a wake up call for the Falcons and may put even more focus and urgency on the Giants game. If they roll the Giants they have a virtual lock on the first seed and will have confidence entering the playoffs. If they win, how about a few of you trash talking non fans coming back on the board and saying maybe you were wrong about Ryan and the team. If you can't support your home team were they are tied for the best record in the NFL in week 14 @ 11-2, then you really aren't a fan.
December 11th, 2012
7:16 am
Action speaks louder than words. Let's hope
the Falcons have matured and learned from
their early exit playoff losses to Green Bay and
New York. The lack of a pass rush and running
game may result in more of the same. You have
to have both to beat top tier teams in the playoffs.
December 11th, 2012
7:31 am
Double Zero Eight,
Does the Panthers game Sunday give you any hope that HC Smith has learned anything from the previous playoff losses?? He is one slow to change coach. Why is Michael Turner still starting?
December 11th, 2012
7:43 am
we will see what kind of effort they give in the gaints game,I believe thi well show how far
we may go in the playoffs this year,all u fans saw what NE did to the texasen last night
our team isn't playing anywhere near that level of play
December 11th, 2012
8:05 am
I am a diehard Falcon fan. However, I understand Rodney Harrison's comments. The Falcons have had to use last minute scores to beat some of the weakest teams in the NFL like Arizona, Oakland, Tampa and Carolina (the first time). Great teams dominate the game from start to finish. The Falcons has not done that. My Falcons lack that killer instinct to put teams away. Therefore, no one is afraid to play Falcons. This could work to the Falcons advantage in the playoffs if teams overlook them.
December 11th, 2012
8:06 am
They had nine days to prepare for a team that they barely got by the first time, a team with an unconventional quarterback. They only used four of those days. I know they are beat up and I know they are tired, but they can't let up now.
Win or lose Sunday's game will tell us a lot. I'm fully onboard with the Falcons, but I want to see a good game. This is the one the analysts have been pointing to.
BTW, the Giants didn't have any kind of running game last year UNTIL they got into the playoffs.
December 11th, 2012
8:18 am
I think the falcons peaked in tthe first four games of the season. Seems as the season has went along the swagger has dropped off. Hope they get it together.
December 11th, 2012
8:20 am
We certainly need to be better prepared or it will wind up in our watch pocket. The Giants will be the real test on what we have to offer in the playoffs. Harrison only echo's what everyone in football has been saying all year long. I am a real believer in Nolan's ability to lead our defense and he needs to be on target. Goodness sakes our running game needs to wake up and stop acting like quick sand.
December 11th, 2012
8:21 am
I find it funny that NBC who loves to santimoniously dictate every sunday night what we should believe would put a guy who is famous largely for head hunting and dirty play front and center.
Oh sure, safety is important, here's our safe play advisor…. Rodney Harrison.
Also, here's our staff doctor. Josef Mengele.

Can I get my post released DLed? Thanks
December 11th, 2012
8:32 am
Even to a long-time fan, Sunday's game was a bad loss. As several posters have stated, the Falcons appeared flat and basically out of sync. Whether that was due to the long wait from Thurs to the following Sunday, or just the deep breath that is naturally taken after winning the Division doesn't matter, the fact is the Falcons were not ready to play. In a non-critical game I guess that's ok, but they had better snap out of it for the G-men. Reading the players' quotes I feel sure they see what we saw, and will address it and come back strong against NY. I still believe in my Falcons…it's good they got that game out of their system before playing the Giants. I can't help but believe they will be up for the game against the Giants, after the embarrassing loss last year. Either way, I still love my Falcons and will support them "come he#l or high water".
Go Falcons!
December 11th, 2012
8:37 am
"It's not disrespectful," defensive end John Abraham said. "How we played last week, they should say stuff like that. When we put stuff like that out there on tape, they should say stuff like that."
There it is, and right on. I've been a Falcon fan from the beginning. I don't jump on and off the band wagon, I will still support them at the end of this season, be it the first playoff game or the Superbowl. However, the team seems to lack consistency, especially in situations when they need it the most. When the D absoulutely needs that stop, somebody is out of position, don't stay in their gap and their RB rips off a long run, or drops a reciever they consider out of the play and he goes on for a big catch or TD.
When the O needs to convert a first down, all of a sudden, the line can't block and the running backs can't hit the hole even if ther was one, or Matt can't hit the broad side of a barn. Inconsistency! The team can make those plays, Matt can make those throws, I've seen them do it. I don't know what's wrong or how to fix it but I can tell you if they keep screwing around SF and the Giants are in their rearview mirror and have their foot on the gas. If they want the bye and homefield for the playoffs they better find out how to play consistent ball and stop teams, take the ball back and then do something with it. Simple as that.

December 11th, 2012

Yep, they were flat and we were missing Samuel and Moore. Combine that with the running quarterback and it made for a bad day. Rodney Harrison's opinion is just that. We'll send the bandwagon back around for you guys next week.
December 11th, 2012
8:46 am
None of the talking head experts picked the Falcons to be 11-2 and 6-0 at home.
Rodney Harrison is a clown.
December 11th, 2012

12-2 will do.

Time to RISE UP!!!!!!!Got the G-Men…NY Giants comming to town. Last years playoff gm. if you want to call it that, left a bad taste in my mouth. With back to back first round exits from the playoffs, but this yr. I think the Birds are ready to shake that monkey off their back. Just win the first gm. and the rest will be steamed over by the hunger and desire that has been unleashed with the W over the G-Men…..Sorry for the drama. Focus, Execute, and pay attention to detail while planning the gm. plan with the NY Giants, the Birds will be fine.
December 11th, 2012
9:08 am
Just my opinion, however if the fans are calling for the team to develop confidence within and a Killer instinct , then the fan base should practice what it preaches. Show the same confidence in the Falcons win or lose. Possess a killer instinct when critics, and non Falcon fans try to spin how good our team really is. It is time for the Falcons and there fans to Rise Up!! Like JA55 said, we cant change the past game, its in the record books or the past 3 post season flops, yet we can show faith, confidence, and strong support for our home team that they will change there fortunes. Fans need a mental refresh just like the team. Change is the only thing in life that is constant! Falcons and Falcon fans, RISE UP!!
December 11th, 2012
9:15 am
Good point by LDog about the FOUR! days off after the Thursday night game against New Orleans. It appears that Smitty tries to ingratiate himself to the players by a "permissive" approach – instead of coaching/exacting top performance out of them.
This same lackadaisical approach characterized Falcons' preparation for the playoff game against Green Bay a couple of years back, when Smitty saw the bye week as an invitation for holiday relaxation. After all, his bulletin board indicated that Green Bay was just a minor bump in the road to the Super Bowl.
In such cases, focus, intensity & due diligence preparation are discarded – typically with ruinous consequences.
Bottom line: the Falcons need to do more than just show up for a game, though it is debatable whether they even did that against the Giants in the playoffs last year.
December 11th, 2012
9:19 am
"Elderly", Matt Ryan was 70% passing in the game on Sunday. We get it, you don't like Matt Ryan for some strange reason.
December 11th, 2012
9:27 am
Mike Smith teams has looked the same over the years. They can't tackle or defend the pass. Redskins use a rookie as a backup and falcons find a 1.8 rated qb to backup Ryan. Turner still running into his linemen and Ryan looking scared each game. Nothing will change and the Falcons will loose two games in a row for the first time. Maybe Smith should get out of his coordinators way because they look like the two we lost. It has to be Smith!
December 11th, 2012
9:29 am
You all act like this is something new this year.
If youve been to a game and actually got to your seat before 1:15 (which accounts for about 30% of fans at the game)…if you watch warm ups….some of the guys dont even worry about warm ups. Its a dancing competition out there. #28, 25, 22, 56 ….. much more interested in the music and dancing than preparing for the next 3 hours.
OR Maybe they are just so confident that they dont need to be focused?
Mike Smith is not a discipline coach like you hear them talk about on TV. I dont care how many or how few penalties the team earns. That is only part. Lost to the Texans last year because players and coaches dont have the discipline to stay off the field. Lost to NO this year partly because players dont have the discipline to get off the field before celebrating…
Mike Smith needs to get a hold of his team and get these guys focused.
I will repeat my guess that 2013 is the year for the Falcons.
December 11th, 2012
9:36 am
I, for one, cannot wait for the new outdoor stadium.
I pine for the cold weather and wet weather games where only actual fans will show up and where people who are there to read the newspaper (or that chemistry book I saw someone carry in a couple weeks ago) stay home.
A stadium where the food actually has to be made hot….(wonders if the health inspector knows they serve food at the dome outside of the club levels)
And maybe, just maybe the content on the video screen will have more to do with the game I am watching (and even other NFL games) instead of showing me that the offensive linemen are better at rapidly removing tissues from a box than they are at run blocking.

Ueediot @ 9:41, you speak the truth, my friend. And I agree about Mike Smith. Tired of seeing the same mistakes over and over. Like everyone else, tired of seeing a plodding MTurner type of offense when it's obvious the team plays better without him on the field. Without MT33 we have a more dynamic offense with more options. Tired of Matt Ryan having to save the game for his coach, instead of his coach helping. Matt Ryan is better than most realize because he has to deal with a weak Oline and a mediocre coach, and until this year, no defense, yet he wins. Just how I see it.
December 11th, 2012

Carolina is 4-9 and Cam Newton is the greatest quaterback ever…what a joke. your record is what you are.
December 11th, 2012
10:13 am
I'm a die hard Falcon fan but I will admit we are 0-3 in the play-offs under Smitty and we haven't looked solid on either side of the ball in over a month.. We need to step up our game.
Remember, Respect has to be EARNED!!
We beat the giants then we are on our way to earning respect.
December 11th, 2012
10:14 am
i say even if the Falcons win, it will be because the giants did not play well.
December 11th, 2012
10:24 am
Remember last sundays game with Carolina,because thats the kind of game you will get each and every week in the playoffs,and the Falcons failed that test! so you eather raise your level of play,or your season will be over after the first game.
December 11th, 2012
10:29 am
The Giants are looking like last year's team. Falcons will find out if they are a contender or a pretender.
December 11th, 2012
10:30 am
The Pats played that way, because the OL protected him very well. If we had the same Matt would destroy our opposition!
December 11th, 2012
10:32 am
I just hope Smitty isn't being handcuffed by internal politics to keep Turner on the field. Otherwise, he (Smith) must be one blind or stubborn man to not see Turner provides no advantage being in the game. If we need to run the ball to keep the defense off balance and milk the clock, then for God sake run Rodgers, Snelling or Smith (or all of them by committee). Open up the offense and put Chase Coffman and Tony Gonzalez on the field at the same time with Julio and Roddy. Now that's a look that no one has seen yet and look at the Patriots with their two TE scheme. It's hard to stop.
December 11th, 2012
10:33 am
Well what did we expect? Rodney Harrison has never been a fan…….dont deserve the praise from this slop heads anyway! We ARE THE FANS. Now prove to the world that you are what your record says you are Birds. Dont gripe dont ask for respect go and TAKE IT!

If Rodney Harrison doesn't like the ATL Falcons, he should pack up and move to a city where the ATL Falcons don't play. He has no problem ragging on our team AND living here. Pack up and move to NYC or Boston, Rodney. We won't miss you!

Recipe: Roasted Beet Salad with Barley, Feta, and Red Onion
Beet salad! Yum!
Though this one could have just as easily been called "Barley Salad with Beets, Feta, and Red Onion." Or "Beet and Feta Salad with..." Ok, you get the idea.
The real point is that with these basic ingredients, you get all the chewiness, crunchiness, earthiness, saltiness and piquant-ness that you could ever want in a salad.
Inspired by one we saw at a local coffee shop, we see many summer picnics in this salad's future!
One of the things that makes this salad special is cutting all the ingredients down to the same size--about equal to a grain of barley. This way, you get a bit of everything in each spoonful and the flavors really come together.
Feel free to play with the proportions of each ingredient. I love beets, so I upped those quite a bit (which is likely why my salad is so shockingly pink!). You could just as easily put in more feta or use a different grain.
The only ingredient to be careful of is the red onion, since they can easily overpower all the other flavors. As it is, soak the red onions in water for a half an hour or so before mixing them into the salad to mellow out the spiciness a bit.
Roasted Beet Salad with Barley, Feta, and Red Onion
1 cup dry pearl barley
4 medium beets, tops removed
1/2 large red onion (about 1 cup), minced and soaked in cold water for 1/2 hour
1/2 block of feta (about 4 ounces), cut into small squares or crumbled
4-5 scallions, sliced into fine rounds
1 1/2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 Tablespoon Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
salt and pepper to taste
extra sliced scallions for garnish
Heat the oven to 450-degrees.
Loosely wrap the beets in tin foil and roast in the oven until they are just fork tender--30 - 45 minutes. Peel and dice the beets into small cubes.
Meanwhile, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the barley and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the barley is al dente, about 30 minutes. If there is extra liquid in the pot, drain the barley and return it to the pan. Cover with a clean dishtowel until ready to use.
Drain the red onion.
Combine barley, beets, red onion, feta, and scallions in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the lemon juice and olive oil over the top and toss to coat.
Taste the mixture. As needed, add salt 1/4 teaspoon at a time (the feta is really salty!). Pepper to taste.
Serve family-style in a large bowl or in individual bowls. Garnish with extra scallions.

How pretty!
Very nice recipe, but I wish you had specified whether you meant pearled barley or hulled barley. I suspect you meant pearled barley, but...
Ah, good catch! I meant pearl barley. I'll fix it now.
I already made it, using hulled barley, which I prefer to pearled. The salad was still delicious, just had to cook the barley a little longer.
Another note: it's a good idea to cut the beets into chunks before roasting. I didn't soak the minced red onion because I thought the other ingredients would tame it, and they did, but I really like knowing the technique.
The salad looks delicious, but beets are winter food around here. My oven's not getting turned on until September or October.
Yum, that looks fabulous! I am going to make it tomorrow! If you have a Trader Joe's near by, they sell these great cooked beets in plastic bags in the produce section. They would make this recipe even easier and faster! Just dice them up and toss them in.
Thanks for the great recipe!
I made this last week and it was so good I am making again today. Zingerman's is featuring Greek food this month and they have some really good feta at the deli. Not too salty.
Just made this and it is delicious! I hadn't planned on it, but picked up my CSA box and had a bunch of beets to do something with. I used quinoa instead of the barley because that's what I had on hand, and I added some finely chopped dill - delicious! Thank you!
Finally got around to making this and it was lovely! Sampled the olive oil on the salad at the end, and decided not to mix it into the entire thing.
Made this the night before thanksgiving for friends. Tasted great, and looked beautiful! I was new to barley and really enjoyed it. The texture of the barley is such an unexpected meatiness! Personally I wouldn't dare soak the onion, as I love their strong flavor.
And by scallions you mean 'green onions' I take, (From the picture)
Those two words are synonyms. Chives are something slightly different.

This trick-or-treat costume will put you in sync with a '60s vibe.
Wig: See the basic wig instructions. Use two skeins of a straight, medium-weight yarn to make a wig with hair about 25 inches long. Make one bundle with 22 strands of yarn and bind this thicker bundle onto the cap first. The rest of the bundles can have 18 strands.
Vest: Cut a brown paper bag as shown. Have your child try on the vest and make any alterations as needed. (If the shoulder straps are too high or straight, cut through them, overlap the ends, and use double-sided tape to reattach them. Do the same to bring in the sides of the vest, if needed.) Turn the vest inside out so that any printing is hidden inside. Line the edges inside the vest with packing tape to prevent tears. Use double-sided tape to tack down any loose flaps.
For the fringe, cut the bottom 16 inches or so from the T-shirt, then cut this tube open into a rectangle. Tape the fabric to the inside bottom of the vest, then cut it into skinny fringe. Make flower power pins from cardboard and attach them to the vest with double-sided tape.
To complete the costume, add a tie-dyed T-shirt, round tinted glasses, a peace-symbol necklace, and a counterculture headband made from an old tie.
