Soccer Kicks Off Preseason Camp
Courtesy: CMU Athletic Communications
Release: 08/09/2013
"I think the emotion of the first practice as we gathered together was really positive and constructive," said McGahey. "I think the women were really excited to be together. I think they were intense, fun, and competed; they did the things we needed to do at practice today."
CMU is coming off a highly successful 2012 season in which it went 15-7-1, including a 10-2 mark in MAC play, and earned the conference's first-ever at large bid to the NCAA Tournament. Junior Laura Gosse (5 goals, 1 assist) and senior Jennifer Gassman (4 goals, 2 assists), both forwards, are the team's top two returning scorers, combining for 21 points a year ago. Seniors Estee Outcalt and Tory Kinniard will be key on the defensive end in 2013. Junior Grace Labrecque, who started three games and logged 405 minutes between the pipes in 2012, will get the first shot at securing the starting goalkeeper spot.
"I think our focus now is one practice at a time, one pass at a time, one moment at a time and make sure we are present in each one and just try to do our best," McGahey said. "That's how we are going to tackle it – one game, one practice, one day at a time."
The Chippewas will play their lone exhibition match of the 2013 preseason on Sunday, Aug. 18 (5 p.m.) when it hosts in-state foe Michigan State at the CMU Soccer Complex. Central will open the regular season one week later, on August 25, at home against Detroit (5 p.m.).

Mahler: Songs
Last few CD copies remainingCDA67392
No 1: Nun will die Sonn' so hell aufgehn
No 2: Nun seh' ich wohl, warum so dunkle Flammen
No 3: Wenn dein Mütterlein
No 4: Oft denk' ich, sie sind nur ausgegangen
No 5: In diesem Wetter, in diesem Braus
There is no such problem of course in the first seven songs in this selection, which were all written for piano – although each in its way requires playing with one's orchestral ears switched on. They come from the Lieder und Gesänge of 1892, a volume that included nine early settings of texts from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, the massive collection of German folk-poetry gathered by the poets Achim von Arnim and Clemens von Brentano, which was to prove such a seminal influence in the development of Mahler's sound-world. It also included five separate songs to other texts, but it is clear even from these that Mahler was already leaning towards an alfresco, folkloric context for his music. This is most obvious in the Ländler-like Hans und Grete (2) (the earliest of Mahler's songs that he felt worthy of publication, it originally appeared as Maitanz im Grünen) but is also audible in the chirruping lark and humming bees of Frühlingsmorgen (1), a song that seems always on the verge of breaking into a full-blooded dance, but finally gives up, out of consideration for the sleeping sweetheart.
The collection also included two songs from Don Juan by Tirsis de Molina which both suggest incidental music. Phantasie (3), the one recorded here, instructs the pianist to imitate the sound of a harp. Its plangent melody and verbal repetitions such as 'Im Herzen! Im Herzen!' also suggest a folksong, and though the text may be Spanish in origin, the character of deep melancholy and personal identification – there is no doubt that the singer's own heart has been caught like many others in the fishergirl's net – was one that Mahler was to exploit with increasing success throughout his composing career. It finds its most familiar expression in the many Knaben Wunderhorn songs in which, as in Zu Strassburg auf der Schanz (5), a young soldier finds himself on the way to the scaffold or the firing-squad for an unidentified crime. Here his crime is desertion, or at least going absent without leave, and the muffled drums and tight military rhythms that represent his captivity are in eloquent contrast to the freedom inherent in the alphorn, whose nostalgic call had caused him to desert his post in the first place. (Mahler directs the introduction to be played Wie eine Schalmei – 'like a shawm'.)
A similar, grief-stricken tread pervades Nicht Wiedersehen! (6), which describes the situation, common to many folksong traditions, where a lover returns from a journey to find his sweetheart has died in his absence. Here again the mature Mahler is foreshadowed, in the poignant major-minor shifts and melody in parallel thirds as well as the dissonant and agonized repetitions of 'Ade!'. Ablösung im Sommer (4) is a deft example of the comic, rustic side of the Wunderhorn songs, in which the handover from cuckoo to nightingale is characterized in a shift from naïve slapstick to the sublimely lyrical in the same manner as in the comic singing-competition of Lob des hohen Verstandes in the later collection. As for the final song, Scheiden und Meiden (7), the breezy cheerfulness of its bright hobby-horse rhythms is offset, as so often in these poems, by a darker thread, as in the third stanza (Mahler doesn't set the second stanza), where the theme of parting brings a reference to infant mortality ('Es scheidet das Kind wohl in der Wieg').
Mahler himself wrote the texts for Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, modelling them on the style of the Wunderhorn poems. Thus the journeying apprentice of the title is a stock character whose tale of unrequited love is drawn in simple imagery that also recalls Schubert's Müller cycles (as in the reference to his sweetheart's blue eyes, or the linden-tree beneath whose branches he finally finds peace). Incidentally, the customary English translation, Songs of a Wayfarer, is somewhat misleading, suggesting as it does a generalized traveller, rather than a member of a traditionally itinerant workforce – what in English used to be known as a 'journeyman'.
In the first song, Wenn mein Schatz Hochzeit macht (8), the rustic setting is immediately audible in the asymmetrical piping of the wedding dance and in the calling of the birds, clearly differentiated from the sustained sonorities of the lover's lament, which begins by withdrawing into itself, but then cannot help opening up again in widely arching phrases expressive of his grief. In Ging heut morgen übers Feld (9) – which Mahler reused substantially in the First Symphony – he shakes off the gloom, under the influence of a bright summer morning. In the piano part all is burgeoning nature and bright fanfares of birdsong; only at the end does the contrast with his own lost happiness become too much for him.
Ich hab' ein glühend Messer (10) is the storm at the heart of the cycle, its emotional turmoil expressed in an exceptional vocal range from low D to high G and searing chromatics over stark open fifths in the bass. In the quiet central section 'Wenn ich in dem Himmel seh'', devotees of Schubert would not need Mahler's own orchestration to recognize the two horns that represent the vision of two blue eyes. But the sepulchral E flat minor of the postlude, with its scurrying triplets, is pure Mahler. The final song, Die zwei blauen Augen von meinem Schatz (11), begins as a funeral march, but ends as a vision of emotional sublimation and release, the E minor of the opening yielding to an almost seraphic F major melody whose triadic contours are designed to release all the possible harmonic overtones of the accompanying pedal-point in the piano. By the end the funeral march has become a distant echo, suggesting a comparable emotional distancing of the singer from his grief.
In February 1901, under the extreme pressure of overwork, Mahler collapsed with a severe haemorrhoidal haemorrage, during which he was convinced that 'my last hour had come'. The event was to prove a turning point: during the following summer vacation, he composed seven Rückert songs – three of the Kindertotenlieder and four of what would become known as the cycle of Rückert-Lieder.
Friedrich Rückert had been briefly set by Schubert in three songs, one of which, Dass sie hier gewesen, looks forward in its adventurous harmonic colouring to the perfumed atmosphere of Mahler and Strauss. He was also a favourite poet of Robert and Clara Schumann – Clara's setting of Liebst du um Schönheit stands up well to comparison with Mahler's more well-known version. In Mahler's case, the refined sensitivity of Rückert's poetry, with its intricate, rather contrived rhyme schemes derived from Persian and Turkish models, chimed with a newly refined vein in his own composition. Thus songs like Ich atmet' einen linden Duft (12) and Blicke mir nicht in die Lieder (14) are examples of the delicate web-like texture that was to become a mark of Mahler's late style, even when writing for full orchestra.
Mahler's personal identification with Rückert was in any case profound. When he wrote 'Only when I experience do I compose, and only when I compose do I experience' he was echoing Rückert's own statement that 'I never think without poetizing and never poetize without thinking'. And in these songs he has finally abandoned the stock characters of the Wunderhorn, with their generalized if intense emotional expression, for a poetic world that could express his own feelings with uncanny accuracy and sensitivity. Thus of Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen (16), he wrote 'It is my very self', and there is no doubt that in this song he created if not his all-out masterpiece, certainly one of the greatest and most profoundly spiritual songs in the German language. The mood of the song is one of rapt withdrawal from the concerns of the world – one may imagine how the middle-aged symphonic composer and director of the Vienna State Opera must often have longed for such a retreat – and its melodic line is woven from the same pentatonic figures as Ich atmet' einen linden Duft. It is an expression of serene happiness that seems to be inherent in its implied orientalism, later to be echoed of course in the Chinese-based songs of his great orchestral song cycle/symphony Das Lied von der Erde.
We have noted already that only these four songs of the set were composed in the summer of 1901. The fifth song has a curious and revealing history, which came to light only decades afterwards with the publication of Alma's diary. At the time of their marriage in 1901 both Alma and Mahler had been recently involved in other relationships; she passionately with the composer Zemlinsky, he with the soprano Anna von Mildenburg. Although Mahler indicated that this relationship was now over, it still rankled with his twenty-two-year-old wife, who tried to have Mildenburg banned from the house. When Mahler insisted on her making a final visit in 1902, Alma defused the situation by turning it into a musical occasion, at which Mildenburg sang several passages from Wagner's Siegfried. That summer, Mahler presented Alma with a score of Siegfried between the pages of which was the manuscript of Liebst du um Schönheit (13). It was both a peace offering and a gentle admonition. 'Love me not for beauty' (Alma made no secret of her muted passion for Mahler), 'nor for youth' (he was nearly twenty years older than she), 'nor for riches' (his financial situation was a cause of anxiety if not acrimony to them both). 'Love me for love's sake', at which point the song's hitherto simple utterance – harking back to an earlier, Schumannesque style – is trans-formed by harmony of ineffable tenderness. Significantly, the final word 'immerdar' ('evermore') is repeated for emphasis, in a high, arching phrase whose expression is intensified by the descanting right hand of the piano. If Mahler here lays bare his innermost feelings, it is possible that the sighing chromatics of the postlude reveal a premonition of Alma's subsequent infidelity.
Although the first three songs of Kindertotenlieder were composed in the same summer of 1901, with the last two following in 1904, their overall structure is unified by their key sequence. Thus the bleak D minor of the first song (17) (only partially warmed into the major by the rising sun) returns in the storm – surely as much symbolic as real – of the finale, a storm that resolves into the D major of the final section. In the three intervening songs, Mahler underlines the shifting emotional field of the poems as they seek for understanding and consolation. Nun seh' ich wohl, warum so dunkle Flammen (18), in deciphering the message of the children's eyes, is full of lingering appoggiaturas ('O Augen!') and poignant changes of key. Wenn dein Mütterlein (19) suggests a funeral march with Bachian overtones, but on an intimate scale that befits the domestic moment it recalls. Both these songs are in C minor. The E flat major of Oft denk' ich, sie sind nur ausgegangen (20) by contrast has an open-air feel to it, with a lilting melody in sixths and warmer harmonies – the sidestep to G flat major on 'Bald werden sie wieder nach Hause gelangen!' is especially touching.
The final song, In diesem Wetter, in diesem Braus (21), returns to D minor in a surging, raging tempest that is a challenge to an orchestra, never mind a pianist; significantly, the moment at which it blows itself out is signalled by the return of two little notes high above the stave, which had last been heard at the end of the first song. There follows a sublime apotheosis which, having first woven a celestial lullaby for the children, returns to earth in a long, consoling postlude for those left behind.
Sentimental tradition often ascribes the composition of Kindertotenlieder to a premonition on Mahler's part of the tragic death of his own daughter in 1907. But he was already well acquainted with infant mortality, no fewer than eight of his siblings having died in childhood. And in his settings these poems, with their striking images of light and darkness, of regret and hope, of grief and consolation, found their perfect musical expression.

The alternator uses your car's engine to recharge the battery. The alternator recycles your car's mechanical energy and converts it to electrical power. Without it, your vehicle's battery will be left without charge and you'll be left on the side of the road. An alternator has similar function to that of a distributor. It produces alternating current while the engine is running which is then transformed into direct current to charge the battery and power up the car's electrical system. Its strong construction allows it to use smaller pulleys to enable it to turn faster than the engine for an improved output when the engine is idle. It can provide enough electricity to electrical components that the car battery could not power up. Faulty alternator will fail to supply electricity to the electrical system of the vehicle and will not be able to recharge the battery which will cause the battery to drain faster. Auto Parts Network carries all the parts you need to power up your vehicle. Hide

The Indiana Department of Correction and the Social Security Administration entered into a Memorandum of Understanding on March 18 that will enable offenders within 120 days of release to obtain a replacement Social Security Card.
Discussions regarding the MOU began months ago with the understanding by both agencies that one of the many challenges facing offenders upon their re-entry into a community is obtaining proper identification. By allowing offenders the opportunity to obtain this vital piece of identification, the IDOC and SSA are making offender re-entry in Indiana a process with one less barrier to overcome as offenders attempt to obtain employment and utilize community resources.
Under the new MOU, each prison operated by the IDOC will now have the ability to process eligible inmates for replacement Social Security cards. Indiana releases more than 19,000 offenders per year. With this MOU, as well as the MOU with the BMV to assist in obtaining State Identification Cards, Indiana offenders will have fewer hurdles in obtaining employment and other community services available upon their release.
IDOC Commissioner Bruce Lemmon commented, "Thanks to active partnerships between our department and other state agencies, such as SSA, Indiana is able to offer more enhanced and efficient services to offenders returning to our communities. These services alone can make a significant impact on their chances at a successful re-entry."
Indiana SSA director Terry Belanger added, "The greatest challenge for this population upon release is finding gainful employment. This Memorandum of Understanding removes one of the chief obstacles to their successful transition into the Indiana work force."

Shell Pearl Nautilus
A beautiful piece for meditation and inspiration. The nautilus, from the Greek for sailor, is a nocturnal creature, spending most of its life at ocean depth. Its shell, lined with mother-of-pearl, grows into increasingly larger chambers throughout its life and so has become a symbol for expansion and renewal. Sometimes called a living fossil for its long existence on the planet, the beautiful and proportionally perfect nautilus shell exemplifies a special kind of spiral curve which appears in nature called a logarithmic spiral, or miraculous spiral. One of this spiral's unique mathematical properties is that the size of the spiral increases, but its shape is unaltered with each successive curve.Learn More$28.00

|Jacqueline Cochran Biography
|~back to authors profile on focusdep~
Jacqueline Cochran (May 11, 1906 – August 9, 1980) was a pioneer United States aviatrix.
Bessie Lee Pittman was born in Muscogee, Florida, the youngest of the five children of Mary (Grant) and Ira Pittman, a poor mill worker who moved from town to town in search of work. As a child, Bessie possessed an unusual amount of drive and ambition and at age 15 left her home in DeFuniak Springs, Florida, working as a hairdresser until she wound up in New York City. There, she used her looks and driving personality to obtain a job at a prestigious salon in Saks Fifth Avenue department store. The impoverished Bessie Pittman became the beautiful and talented Jacqueline Cochran who met Floyd Bostwick Odlum, the middle-aged founder of Atlas Corp. and CEO of RKO in Hollywood. Widely reputed to be one of the 10 richest men in the world, Floyd Odlum quickly became enamored and offered to help her establish a cosmetics business. Despite her lack of education, Ms. Cochran had a quick mind and an affinity for business and the investment proved a lucrative one. Later, in 1951, she would be voted one of the 25 outstanding businesswomen in America by the Boston Chamber of Commerce. In 1953 and 1954 the Associated Press named her "Woman of the Year in Business." After a friend offered her a ride in an aircraft, a thrilled Jacqueline Cochran began taking flying lessons at Roosevelt Airfield on Long Island. A natural, she was quickly flying solo and within two years obtained her commercial pilot's license. Her companion, Floyd Odlum, whom she married in 1936 after his divorce, was an astute financier and savvy marketer who recognized the value of publicity for her business. Calling her line of cosmetics " Wings," she flew her own aircraft around the country promoting her products. Years later, her husband used his Hollywood connections to get Marilyn Monroe to endorse her line of lipstick.
Contributions to aviation
Known by her friends as "Jackie," and maintaining the Cochran name, she began competing in both American and international air races, at first being denied entry at home in the Bendix trophy Los Angeles, California to Cleveland, Ohio race because officials restricted entrants to men only. Cochran pressed the issue until officials relented and allowed her and fellow aviatrix Amelia Earhart to participate. Cochran would go on to win the event. With her growing fame, and association with the wealthy elite, she was frequently interviewed by the press and she made up a story about being adopted to avoid dealing with the reality of her estranged and impoverished family. In 1939, she set a new altitude and international speed record, receiving the Clifford Burke Harmon Trophy as the outstanding woman flier in the world five times. Before the U.S. joined World War II, she was part of "Wings for Britain" that delivered American built aircraft to Britain and she became the first woman to fly a bomber across the Atlantic. In Britain, she volunteered her services to the Royal Air Force. For several months she worked for the British Air Transport Auxiliary, recruiting qualified women pilots in the United States and taking them to England where they joined the Air Transport Auxiliary. Following America's entry into the War, in 1942 she was made director of women's flight training for the United States. As head of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) she supervised the training of more than a thousand women pilots. For her war efforts, she received the Distinguished Service Medal (USA). At war's end, she was hired by a magazine to report on global post-war events. In this role, she witnessed Japanese Tomoyuki Yamashita's surrender in the Philippines, then was the first (non-Japanese) woman to enter Japan after the War and attended the Nuremberg Trials in Germany. Following the end of the War, she pursued flying the new jet engine aircraft going on to set numerous records. She still holds more distance and speed records than any pilot living or dead, male or female. In 1948 Cochran joined the U.S. Air Force Reserve where she eventually rose to the rank of Colonel. From numerous countries around the world, she was given citations and decorations. In 1949, the government of France recognized her contribution to the war and aviation, awarding her the Legion of Honor and again in 1951 with the French Air Medal. She is the only woman to ever receive the Gold Medal from the Federation Aeronautique Internationale. She would go on to be elected to that body's board of directors and director of Northwest Airlines in the U.S. At home, the Air Force awarded her the Distinguished Flying Cross (USA) and the Legion of Merit. Encouraged by then-Major Chuck Yeager, with whom she shared a lifelong friendship, on May 18, 1953, at Rogers Dry Lake, California, Cochran flew a Canadair F86 jet borrowed from the Royal Canadian Air Force at an average speed of 652.337 mph, becoming the first woman to break the sound barrier. She was also the first woman to land and take off from an aircraft carrier, the first woman to reach Mach number 2, the first woman to pilot a bomber across the North Atlantic (in 1941), the first woman enshrined in the Aviation Hall of Fame in Dayton, Ohio, the first pilot to make blind (instrument) landing, the ONLY woman to ever be President of the Federation Aeronautique lnt'l (58-61), the first woman to fly a fixed-wing, jet aircraft across the Atlantic, the first pilot to fly above 20,000 feet with an oxygen mask and the first woman to enter the Bendix Trans-continental Race.
Political activities
Politically ambitious, she ran for Congress in her California home district as the candidate for the United States Republican Party. Although she defeated a field of five male opponents to win the Republican nomination, in the general election she lost to the United States Democratic Party candidate and first Asian-American Congressman, Dalip Singh Saund. Her political setback was one of the few failures she ever experienced and never attempted another run. It has been said by those who knew Jacqueline Cochran that the loss bothered her for the rest of her life. However, as a result of her involvement in politics and the military, she would become close friends with Dwight D. Eisenhower. In the early part of 1952, she and her husband helped sponsor a large rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City in support of an Eisenhower presidential candidacy. The rally was documented on film and Cochran personally flew it to France for a special showing at Eisenhower's headquarters. Her efforts proved a major factor in convincing Eisenhower to run for President of the United States in 1952 and she would play a major role in his successful campaign. Close friends thereafter, Eisenhower frequently visited her and her husband at their California ranch and after leaving office, wrote portions of his memoirs there. Blessed by fame and wealth, she donated a great deal of time and money to charitable works, especially with those from impoverished backgrounds like her own.
Jacqueline Cochran died on August 9, 1980 at her home in Indio, California that she shared with Floyd Odlum. She was a long-time resident of the Coachella Valley, and is buried in Coachella Valley Cemetery. She regularly utilized Thermal Airport over the course of her long aviation career. The airport, which had been renamed Desert Resorts Regional, was again renamed "Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport" in her honor. It also hosts an annual airshow named for her. Her aviation accomplishments never gained the continuing media attention given those of Amelia Earhart, but that can in part be attributed to the public's fascination with those who die young at the peak of their careers. Also, Cochran's use of her husband's immense wealth reduced the rags-to-riches nature of her story. Nonetheless, she deserves a place in the ranks of famous women in history as one of the greatest aviators ever, and a woman who frequently used her influence to advance the cause of women in aviation.

Recent reviews:
January 31, 2014 - Love the paperweight. Hate the idea of a big white sticker with a bar code and price on one side of it. Can't seem to get the sticky off. Afraid to use to harsh a chemical that might take the color off with it.
January 27, 2014 - Having received one of these paperweights in pink, I decided to order a second paperweight and am just as pleased with it. The colors and carving are truly beautiful.
January 10, 2014 - The stone is lovely but the sticker that was on it dyed the stones color in that spot & no matter what I did it is still there. I have to hide one side because of this. Sad.
January 4, 2014 - UPDATE: I got 5 more hearts but the stickers weren't easily removed, left stubborn residue and discoloured the stones. Could possibly give away 4 but the light blue is too obviously marred. Still love the item but have to reduce the rating for these issues. (previous post: This is a really lovely heart. Mine is orange with a hash-mark pattern. It did have a large sticker on the back but it came off pretty easily and I didn't notice any discoloration as other folks mentioned. It may be due to the lighter color or perhaps was just a less adhesive sticker. Very pleased with this item, would DEFINITELY purchase more to give!)
December 29, 2013 - I love rocks and stones and so I loved this product. Mine was a dark pink with light pink lines all around it. I bought it in early December 2013. I did have the problem with the big sticker on the back. Still haven't been able to get it off. Otherwise awesome. I will buy more just reading the story about how they are made!

Please Note: the Emirates Unaccompanied Minor service is not available in conjunction with a discounted 'child' ticket—a full adult fare must be purchased.
Please contact your local Emirates office to book an unaccompanied minor.
Children travelling in different class to the parents
Children under 8 years of age, travelling in a different cabin class to their parents, are considered Unaccompanied Minors and pay the full adult fare. When there are children both over and under the age of 8 travelling together, with their parents in a different cabin class, then all the children are considered Unaccompanied Minors and the adult fare would be applicable for all. Passengers are reminded that visits between cabins should be kept to a minimum.
IMPORTANT: New information concerning infant bookings
Any person 2 years or older must occupy a seat when travelling on Emirates. Therefore, any infant who reaches the age of 2 after the commencement of the journey must pay the applicable child fare and is required to occupy a seat for that part of the journey.
Where a passenger travels as an infant on the outward journey and as a child on the onward/ return journey, applicable infant fare will apply for the outward journey and child fare for the onward/return flights. This cannot be booked online and should be booked through your local Emirates office.
Where a passenger is an infant but is 2 years or older on travel date at point of origin, the applicable child fare will apply for entire journey
If the above has not been done at the booking or ticketing stage, then check-in staff will arrange this at the airport on departure.
If seats are not available at the ticketing or check-in stage, the adult and child passengers will be booked together on alternate flights, subject to availability.
Should travel plans change while en-route and an infant turns 2 years old after travel has commenced the unused coupon(s) will be reissued at the applicable child fare for the rest of the trip and a seat will also be booked for all remaining flights.
IMPORTANT: Conditions of travel to Canada
Parents travelling to Canada with a child under 18 years old are strongly advised to hold documentation showing that the child is theirs. Parents who are separated or divorced are also advised to keep legal and other relevant documents in order to clarify custody rights.
Children travelling to Canada alone or with adults who have no legal custody over them are strongly advised to hold letter of travel consent signed by legal guardian or parent with legal custody. This letter should contain:
a. Authorisation to travel, and
b. Destination in Canada, stating length of stay, and
c. Signor's address and telephone details.
Certain service animals are allowed to travel in the cabin on Emirates flights, subject to a number of conditions. For more information on travelling with a service animal, please see our information on passengers with special needs, or contact your local Emirates office.
Pets are not permitted in the cabin of Emirates flights. Learn more about transporting your pet, or contact your local Emirates office.
Please contact your local Emirates office and we will make every effort to accommodate your needs.

Runway Reviews: Diane von Furstenberg, Tommy Hilfiger, Max Azria, Derek Lam
Getty Images View Gallery
After almost 10 years of walking the runway with Nathan Jenden by her side, Diane von Furstenberg had a new man on her arm for Spring: Yvan Mispelaere, who replaced Jenden in February after he left to focus on his eponymous line. Calling the Spring collection a transformation may be reading a bit too much into the presence of a new creative director (after all, Diane is still Diane), but it did seem a distinct return to a more classic DvF—right down to the wrap dresses that made her famous. Bright, bold colors came in prints that might have come straight from the designer's vast archives: graphic sqaures, cartoony toiles, bold florals and waves, which were constructed into easy jersey dresses and polished shorts suits. Solids had their place—several pantsuits in bright sherbet shades were tailored and trim, and will appeal to the office-dwelling DvF fan more than the vaguely bohemian offerings of seasons past. Her collection may have been titled goddess (and it did include the requisite white Grecian-esque dress), but it seems that the modern, everyday goddesses will love these clothes more than those mythical beings.
Tommy Hilfiger is a master at reinterpreting the idea of classic all-American style, and after 25 successful years in business, he must be doing something right. Showing to a full house of all the top editors (and A-listers), his Spring 2011 collection was 'country club with a twist.' With Peter Som at the design helm, he achieved a fresh take on the classics with the element of surprise. New takes on preppy staples included cropped jackets paired with eyelet skirts or wide-legged herringbone pants, solid white separates punctuated with bursts of colors at the edges, and sundresses with open backs or peek-a-boo cutouts. Even if you're not a member of the country club set, this collection has something for everyone.
Max is the consummate romantic. His Spring 2011 collection was romantic and dreamy with a touch of St Tropez. The majority of his silhouettes were easy, flowing, long A-line and asymmetrical bias-cut dresses in a neutral palette of warm beiges and creams, with an occasional pop of peach and mint. Subtle architectural references embellished these gauzy dresses with cutouts mimicking the iconic design of the Chrysler building that were achieved with linear strap placement. For the sun drenched, effortless look, Max used natural fabrics such as silk georgette and crepe, and textured cotton and gauze.
Inspired by Peter Schjeldahl's "Way Out West" article in The New Yorker this past January, Derek Lam was moved by the writer's descriptive language. "It was less about the artist and the article and more about his poetic language. This collection is what I've always done, my touchstones, but in a way clarifying it," Lam explained post-show. "I wanted to explore more with new fabrics and finishes to make the clothing look and feel modern." Immaculate lines and crisp pieces like a bright indigo linen twill blazer and oatmeal leather and suede shorts felt feminine and fresh from first look to last. Lam smiled, "I wanted to convey the feeling that it is an optimistic spring."

Generic alternatives are sometimes great. However, sometimes they are slightly different than the brand name, and that can make a huge difference to some of us. I have tried a couple of generics, to save money, and have had adverse effects. Staying with the brand, for one of my meds., is best for me.
Kind regards.

Suite 300
Madeira Beach, FL 33708
Drinking Less than 17 Ounces of Water a Day Can Impact Blood SugarsPosted: Tuesday, November 01, 2011
People who drink less than a couple of glasses of water each day may be more likely to develop abnormally high blood sugar.
In the new study, adults who drank only half a liter of water -- about two glasses -- or less each day were more likely to develop blood sugar levels in the pre-diabetes range, versus people who drank more water.
But whether simply drinking water will cut your risk of blood sugar problems is still up in the air.
Senior researcher Lise Bankir, of the French national research institute INSERM stated that, "The findings show a correlation between water intake and blood sugar, but do not prove cause-and-effect."
A hormone called vasopressin is the potential missing link, according to the researchers.
Vasopressin -- also known as antidiuretic hormone -- helps regulate the body's water retention. When we are dehydrated, vasopressin levels go up, causing the kidneys to conserve water. But research suggests that higher vasopressin levels may also elevate blood sugar.
There are vasopressin receptors in the liver, the organ responsible for producing glucose (sugar) in the body, Bankir explained. And one study found that injecting healthy people with vasopressin caused a temporary spike in blood sugar.
"There are good arguments to suggest that there could be a real cause-and-effect relationship in the association we have found," Bankir said, "but this is not a proof."
The findings are based on 3,615 French adults who were between the ages of 30 and 65, and had normal blood sugar levels at the outset. About 19 percent said they drank less than half a liter (17 ounces) of water each day, while the rest drank up to a liter or more.
Over the next nine years, 565 study participants developed abnormally high blood sugar and 202 developed type 2 diabetes.
When the researchers looked at the participants' risk according to water intake, they found that people who drank at least 17 ounces of water per day were 28 percent less likely to develop high blood sugar than those who drank less than that amount.
There was no strong statistical link between water intake and risk of developing diabetes, however. One obvious explanation for the connection with high blood sugar would be that people who drink little water may instead be reaching for sugary drinks -- which could lead to weight gain and impaired blood sugar control.
But Bankir and her colleagues accounted for sugary drinks and alcohol, as well as people's body weight at the start of the study, their reported exercise levels and certain other health factors. And the link between low water intake and high blood sugar persisted. However, they could not account for everything, including generally healthy or less-healthy eating habits.
"Healthier behaviors correlating with higher water drinking could account for the observed association," the researchers write.
As for why there was no link between water intake and diabetes itself, Bankir said that the number of diabetes cases in the study was "too small to get a significant result." A larger study might have been able to detect a statistically significant link, she noted.
"Drinking less of them (sugary drinks) and more pure water can only be good in my view," she said.
Practice Tip: Ask your patients to start out with 16 ounces of ice cold water upon waking and try to do that for 7 straight days. This will get their water intake up easily and after a week or so many patients will crave the water when they first get up.

The day was cooler than usual so we did not really need them as fans, but I used them as decorations and the kids loved them. They would tear with little effort but for the money a good investment.
Fans a hit at Church of Beethoven -
Ellen, Albuquerque, NM
The Church of Beethoven presents weekly music and spoken word performances, that have been called the quirkiest concert series in Albuquerque. On some holidays, such as Easter, we do something special with an audience giveaway. As we didn't think we could use sparklers indoors, and didn't want to have confetti all over the place, the fans seemed like the perfect festive and functional treat. Our "fans" used the fans to cool themselves and off and keep time to the music.

I ordered these to include in my grandchildren's handmade plastic canvas 4th of July treat baskets, but 2 of them arrived broken.
